Now, as I type MY emails, MY sidebar ads are asking if I want to take a boat cruise to China or buy shares in a shipping company. Amazon wants to know if I need books or CDs on espionage. Never ye mind that I don’t know HOW they accomplish this amusing invasion of my privacy or understand the technical detail of how the industry recognizes or tracks subject matter. . . . I mean how do the search engines know weeks later that I searched for specs on a Canon printer or a camping outfit company remembers I looked at a pair of hiking boots last month? Is it Google that stores this stuff? It obviously doesn’t take a Snowden sitting there in his cube, in our beautiful state of Hawaii, filtering my emails-listening to my calls. It is an automatic procedure.

Never believe the government when they tell you they are antiquated and just can’t monitor their employees. When someone can pull Weiner’s body part photos off text mail or monitor Cohen’s Twitters, looking for ‘dirt’, how did our government miss Snowden’s potentially damaging communications before his escape.
Did Snowden not talk it up before he absconded with the King’s [NSA} jewels all in one tidy little basket?
