Cartoon of Mike Luckovich

1) This document is a cartoon which was drawn by Mike Luckovich and published on December 18, 2013. It is not entitled but it shows the viewers the role of the NSA, the national security agency, which tries to protect the Americans. However, she doesn't just do that, she also spies on American society.
What is the NSA actually monitoring?
Why does the NSA monitor the USA so much?

2) In this cartoon, we find several information. We can see a room where we find a man sitting at a desk on which two computers are placed. On these computers one can observe the messages "Americans Personal Data" and "Phone records" which are probably information concerning the USA. Then above the desk we can see a satellite dish. In addition, this man who sits with an angry look as we can see by the expression on his face expresses his dissatisfaction with the phrase "Stop violating my privacy !!!" to a dog who plays Edward Snowden. Snowden is an NSA whistleblower who has not respected the agency's confidentiality. Through this caricature, we can deduce that Snowden to deliver information on the agency that were to remain private such as for example the fact that the NSA not only protects the Americans but also spies on them. For this, she listens to telephone conversations, infiltrates computers using software and programs in order to gather enough information. This cartoon is affirmed, through a message, that Americans cannot trust government authority because their smallest act and gesture is monitored by the NSA.

3) The cartoonist's intentions are quite clear. For several years, the USA has held various organizations which are responsible for monitoring the country and alerting the government to all the potential dangers threatening them. However, the NSA's heightened surveillance of the Americans is rather dubious, as one can think from Mike Luckovich's point of view, that the agency even doubts the Americans and perhaps considers them as a potential threat. The cartoonist's then reveals through his drawing, what the NSA really does behind his image of protector and the one who made it possible to discover this: Edward Snowden. Through the sentence spoken by the man, the author allows us to understand that Snowden is in danger because of the leak of information concerning the agency. Luckovich wants to show that Snowden has apparently broken some sort of confidentiality with the NSA and has shown that today American citizens no longer have to do government authority to act. The cartoonist is attempting to change the image of the NSA seen by the Americans and make them understand that they are constantly observed by it.

4) In my mind, this cartoon denounces and criticizes the acts carried out by the NSA for several years behind the backs of Americans by hiding the truth from them. The picture shows that the American government is lying about the extent of what it does. While the NSA is responsible for protecting citizens from attack, by expanding their security and espionage powers by monitoring the world, it unfortunately considers others to be a potential danger and does all of this illegally. For me, this cartoon is a good thing because it shows the United States that they must be careful and that they should no longer trust this type of agency.

Malgré la petite bévue signalée au début, ton anglais est excellent et ton analyse pointue à tel point que j’ai presque pu « voir » la caricature. Bravo ! ?
