In most cases they are forbidden from revealing the intelligence gathering to the target.

Look, everybody, I got an email screenshot from "Barackobama@google.com", who wants me to donate 20.000 Dollars in unmarked bills to his campaign because otherwise they will review my sisters immigration status.
Yep. Help me protest barack obama based on that, and tell me more about how much of a badass you are.
(Wait, you are american? Damn, then you get regularely groped by the TSA....)
Every kid with 5 bucks worth of free time can fake an email header, and research enough legalese to draft a decent email. If this is real, hat off, and I feel sorry for you, but I would need more proof then that.

Can I expect something like this for viewing certain internet pages such as this subreddit or media that could be labeled "anti-zionist" on YouTube?

Can you give me an idea of what it takes to actually get this kind of email? You aren't going to tell me what you did (obviously) but if you could think of a different instance that is similar, i'd like to know. This is crazy.

You have got to be kidding me. I'm going to make a Google account that's NSA@Google.com and you will believe I'm the nsa.

Of course the govt is spying on us. Anyone with half a brain has known this since the 90s. My point is it didn't come from that bullshit email address that OP posted
1 danxmason 2013-08-14
That's the correct email address.
1 bigupurself7 2013-08-14
Very interesting. Sounded so made up. I apologize!!!
-9 dsprox 2013-08-14
Yeah, top left of the image, address bar.
Image is a complete fake. This is entirely fake.
Downvote into oblivion.

This is the coolest beginning to an internet hookup that ever existed.... I hope you two get it on.
1 WTFGESTAPO 2013-08-14
Me & that Veronica Vaughn, we got it on.

I'm in central FL, and while I'm almost curious enough to meet you, my paranoid side says, why the F would I meet some random stranger in a random parking lot who's already under some sort of investigation. Curiosity is not enough to have me linked to you;)
