Targeting Huawei: NSA Spied on Chinese Government and Networking Firm

[RC]

29. That must be the reason the NSA was listening in on the phone calls of Angela Merkel, right?

Right? Right? She maybe has a phone, computer, whatever electronic device made in China? Then the NSA gotta spy on her because she might be a Chinese spy herself?
There are much better ways to deal with situations like that, than spying on everyone and their pets and gathering so much data, you don't have the resources to deal with it. Important information gets lost and buried in the shear mass of mostly worthless data.
Why not keep the spying to the Chinese, rather than the NSA paying American companies to spy on their customers, world wide, including inside the US.

No matter how you slice and dice it, the NSA is a rogue , out of control agency, that needs to be reigned in. They and their sister agencies make, or even just designate enemies, as an excuse to spy on them because they are "our enemies".
Who doesn't the NSA spy on? That should tell you something right there. And their secret kangaroo courts, with their automatic rubber stamping doesn't not make it Constitutional either. That is only a fig leaf to hide the tools they are using to screw us all.

The world is not our enemy. We need to stop treating it as such. We need to deal with our own unwarranted paranoia for profit and work to help others, instead of using the problems we create, as an excuse to be suspicious of others motives.
