THESE DOCUMENTS CONTAIN EVIDENCE OF ATTACKS ON VPN, SSL, TLS, SSH, TOR. What do we do now? No seriously, what do we do?

Earlier this year at goto copenhagen I heard a good talk by Tim bray:

http://gotocon.com/cph-2014/presentation/Privacy%20and%20Sec...

Where he argues that even though we can not achieve complete security there is great value in raising the bar. If we continuously make it increasingly harder for NSA, MOSAD, GCHQ and the rest of them to spy on us, we can achieve good enough privacy. Where most communication will be secure. But he also argues that if one of these agencies really wants to target YOU specifically they will get to the information. By breaking into your house and installing cameras, if necessary.

It's Michens' MOSSAD/not-MOSSAD question[1]. Any half-decent encryption will protect you from bulk collection and monitoring, but if you're targeted, you lose.
