What’s all the excitement about with these NSA surveillance programs, Germany?
Your, I mean our president himself has ensured everyone everywhere that he has not become a Big Brother with eyes and ears throughout the world of online communications.
“You can’t have 100 percent security and then also have 100 percent privacy and zero inconvenience,” the Pres says. And that applies to you too, Germany. This is only for your own good, or something.
So take a chill pill already. If Obama is behind all of this then everything is fine, right? After all, you voted for him.
Es ist kein Geheimnis, dass die USA weltweit Kommunikation überwachen. Die Programme haben immer neue Namen, ob sie nun Echelon, Total Awareness oder TrailBlazer heißen. Aber ihr Ziel ist immer das gleiche: So viel wie möglich davon mitzubekommen, was Menschen miteinander reden. Nun ist es also Prism.

That’s nice. Now will you please speak clearly and loudly into the lampshade? Thank you.
Damn! I forgot to check the lampshade!
Judging by my blogstats, they are the only ones reading what I have to say 😦
Ha! Tell me about it, Stu. But it’s better we have a captive audience than no audience at all.
