Who Shot MLK?

My emails are probably read by an NSA agent. I have no idea which NSA agent. That is not evidence that he doesn't exist.

Except that we have evidence of the NSA actually illicitly monitoring private communications. Where's the evidence that the KGB set up Kennedy's death?

Also, if I remember correctly you're in Australia. The NSA isn't exactly concerned with YOUR emails.

The NSA mostly reads foreigners emails.

They don't just grab every single foreigner they can find and start looking through their stuff. That's literally impossible for them to do.

The NSA database very much includes foreigners.

Well, here's the thing. There's no proof that it is impossible for them to do. You don't know their manpower or hours.

Extrapolation from known data: there are currently 7,108,000,000 people in the world. The United States has a population of 316,608,222.

Even if every single member of the United States was an NSA agent and the NSA was attempting to monitor the entire world, each person would be monitoring 22.45 people simultaneously.

Let's make things a bit more realistic. According to the NSA, there are between 30,000 and 40,000 employees. Assuming every single one of those 40,000 was an agent monitoring worldwide communications (which is obviously false, as this includes everyone from the mail room to the top dog in the whole organization), each agent would need to monitor all of the communications of 177,700 people. Individually.

The chance of some random Australian schmuck being monitored for no reason other than "worldwide surveillance" is very, very slim.

It's all conspiracy theorist in here. Even more than it was.

Even slimmer if said Australian schmuck is a white, non-Muslim.
