<p style="color: #000000;"><big><big>It looks like a German artist
has used a different form of “graffiti” to protest the NSA
early this morning in Berlin. Oliver Bienkowski, a
self-proclaimed “guerilla marketing expert”, has used a
powerful projector mounted in a cargo van and beamed it on
the US Embassy. The image is said to have illustrated a
silly portrait of US President, Barack Obama, and a message:
“NSA in da House”.</big></big></p>

<p><big><big><span style="color: #000000;">The United States
Embassy in Berlin is said to be in a heavily
police-patrolled area near the Reichstag and the
Brandenburg Gate and due to this, the police have
peacefully shut down the projection within minutes,
according to the video below, posted online by the group
of German artists.</span></big></big></p>

<p><big><big>It is said that this is not the first time Bienkowski
used the side of a building to express his work and protest.
Last year, he projected the words “United Stasi of America”
on another building structure to protest against spying
activities, having the past year not being a good one for
US-German relations.</big></big></p>
<big><big>
</big></big>
<p><big><big>A series of uncovered information have pointed out
the extent of NSA surveillance activities in Europe the past
year. German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, had her phone under
surveillance by the NSA and there are still concerns of
widespread surveillance of internet activities which pass
through US servers. A CIA chief in Berlin has even been
expelled by the Germans last year as a sign of its
displeasure with US spy activities in their country.</big></big></p>
