Describe how the revelations of the NSA’s global surveillance practices (by Edward Snowden) have hurt both the NSA’s efforts and US diplomatic efforts in the world. Document your argument with supporting evidence (e.g. newspaper articles, magazines, official government reactions both in & out of the US).?

Security :

US Government uses surveillance to find someone or look for something, they know what and happened to look for it. They don't just monitor everything on everyone as that is impossible. The amount of information that the NSA takes in on the subjects they actually are watching in one week, would require their entire staff to work 24/7 for over a year to go through all of it.

The Logistics of mass surveillance just makes this paranoid version impossible in our modern world. So yes your paranoid delusions are fictional, they do not exist.

Also dismantling the systems that you falsely believe to be "surveillance" would bring your sad little life to a grinding halt. No more internet, no more cell service, no more satellite tv, no more weather forecasts, etc etc. Because all of those things rely on the system that you have been fooled into believing is used to monitor you.

That is how you really control people, through fear and ignorance, not surveillance.
