So, to answer my question, yes, you are paranoid much. If the government seriously wanted to watch what you're doing, having an AMD chip or some Russian MIPS wouldn't make a damned bit of difference.

Let's see what we've got going on in 2015: Windows 10 = spyware botnet, NSA has backdoors in every (FCC approved) modern phone and chipset, the good majority of our computer chips, by Intel, are designed in Israel. It makes sense that one of the NSA's strategies is to embed backdoors and spying tech into these chips. It would make sense that the NSA can outsource its development of spying tech to Israel to protect itself from public scrutiny. And Israel absolutely has a stake in having a strong spying / hacking industry, see the reasoning for the stuxnet worm attack.
If you want more info, just look at what Richard Stallman - founder of GNU, and his rejection of nonfree technology. He uses some weird russian MIPS-processor laptop and custom GNU/Linux, won't even touch a windows/mac/x86 based machine because it's already compromised out of the factory. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/can-you-trust.en.html
