(4,062 posts)Most of the time before you guys can even finish calling it a "tinfoil hat" theory.
Frankly, you got nothing else and your desperation is palpable here.
Shall we recap the "conspiracy theories" you guys advanced in the last three months that we don't need to discuss anymore, cause they are ESTABLISHED FACTS now?
1) American data is NOT being collected. (It is, from metadata to "the 1.6%"
2) Minimization processes make sure no Americans are targeted. (Remember what John Oliver said about being 51% sure?)
3) There is no evidence of wrongdoing, you can't prove anything. (That's just what Snowden did in the end, give evidence).
4) It is only metadata. (It wasn't -- XKeyscore)
5) It is only used for terrorism. (It isn't, the data is being shared WELL outside that scope as the NY Times showed)
6) It is only saved for a limited amount of time due to volume (What about after Utah comes online? Evasions).
You can namecall all you want -- it just demonstrates the frustration you feel being on the "Liar Liar Pants on Fire" side.
