This is a lie.

re: #351 Heywood Jabloeme

Ok, so how am I to interpret this? He says nothing about these being targeted monitoring.

“I don’t want to live in world where everything that I say, everything I do…every expression of creativity or love or friendship is recorded, and that’s not something I’m willing to support,” Snowden said. “That’s not something I’m willing to build and that’s not something I’m willing to live under.”

Or,

“(W)e’ve got Prism, which is a demonstration of how the U.S. government co-opts U.S. corporate power to its own ends. Companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, they all get together with the NSA and provide the NSA direct access to the back ends of all the systems you use to communicate, to store data, to put things in the cloud, and even just to send birthday wishes and keep a record of your life,” Snowden said in the video interview, which was recorded on June 6 in Hong Kong.

Ok, so either they are monitoring everyone or not. Snowden implies they are with these comments of his. Otherwise, how would the NSA being keeping a record of my life?
See, this is the bullshit that hurts your cause. Please, stick to actual facts, not paranoid fantasies.
