Well,

1. Why are you against the NSA doing signal intelligence on foreign leaders. That is there job. I would be shocked and dismayed if they did not.

2. Is there anyone in the world surprised that US, Russian, Chinese, UK, French etc embassies are places where their spies set up machinery to listen in on others? I would be shocked it this were not the case.

3. Is there any evidence at all that this has anything to do with Google and whatever they are building?

It is one thing to be upset that the NSA spies on American citizens. It is another to be upset that they spy on Merkel’s cell phone. You should be upset if they don’t.

I am not mad at the NSA for spying abroad. I am infuriated that they’re spying on us. I would be infuriated if they weren’t spying on foreign sources.

I am additionally irate at the fact that Google is acting as the technology arm of the US government. People around the world should be eschewing Google products, including the Android operating system.

It used to be that Americans could choose to not participate in society if that was their wish. They could hole up in a cabin in the woods, generate their own power if they so chose, sink a well, live off the land, not participate on the Internet or in any other manner.

Now the government has cameras on every road. They fly drones over vast stretches of land to check for human activity and monitor it. They hassle you at your door for not filling out a census form. They monitor what you purchase online and via credit card. They know where you keep your money. You can no way insulate yourself from the government leviathan anymore. That should infuriate every American.
