Sadly, no denial of a spying program on the rest of the world, then again that would be flat out lies on top of what probably already is.

Modern politics. Democracy and privacy no longer exist.

Well the German BND just the other day was shown to be spying on the rest of the world and giving "non-German" data over to the NSA. The idea that the world's foremost proponents of data security and data privacy still spy on the rest of the world (and fully legally) is illustrative IMHO.
