I AM SICK AND I AM TIRED OF BEING WATCHED DAILY. DAILY. DAILY. DAILY.

i just wanted to say that. because i am sick and i am tired.

AND I AM DOING SOMETHING ABOUT.
i may not do anything for the environment. but what im about to do for the whole world will thank me.

ive been mailin g out packages that contain vital information about this world and theories i have come up with to sway peoples mind - anyway to random people.

listen.listen. i cannot say everything. some things = confidential. and some things only between england and i. but i have been mailing things at least. or at the moderate i mean. at the least ive been sending notes to places around town.

anyway. this watching me and planes hovering ove r my house crap is not gonna be too much longer.

this is THREATENING. to me. and to my family. these PEOPLE have threatened my whole family. why? idk why they do. THEY TAPPED MY DADS PHONE. i know this. for a fact.

I'm sick of the 24/7 surviellance as well.

i thought i was pretty alone in this.

I agree with all of you, I am tired of people watching me particularly the government and other beings. Of course this is all over the news about government surveillance.

yep! story of my life.

this lady in starbucks stared at me hard then started talking about mental illness and nami.

i KNOW she thought i was crazy. I KNOW.

It makes me VERY tired as well. It's not on, all this surveillance. I had to buy several camera and bug detectors, so have to check every room I go into. Now they are thinking of releasing TV's with built in cameras and connected to the internet, aka anyone who watches TV (I dont and do not recommend it) WILL also be watched and listened to. Not on. And laptops with built in webcams. Come on, its obvious what they are for. I went to a shop to buy my laptop and explained I wanted one without a webcam. The person thought I was strange, especially when I explained why. ME? He is strange for not understanding. Its on its way

This technology does exist and there is nothing we can do about it. That's why the government will not put regulations on the internet. They want free reign to do what ever they want to with it. Windows leaves a back door on all computers to make it easier to spy on us. Thank the Patriot act for that.

i think theres something we can do but very little. given most everyone uses the intern3t. ive taped up my webcams with duct tap. im thinking of doing away with my cell phone. and a few other gadgets.

i deleted ALL social networks i had 2 years ago.

i think it depends on how serious u are and the intent to harm u is. im very serious. though its tough with no cell phone.

My husband's uncle who is staying with us temporarily installed a web cam on my pc without asking. It made me mad, and I also have heard how you can be watched thorugh it by hackers. Instead of tape, I just unplug it whenever I notice it's plugged in. He can use it when sitting there chatting with his "girlfriend" (who is probably trying to scam him, which is LOL on her because he's homeless, not really a great person to scam.) But if no one is there or I am sitting there, it's going to be unplugged.

[newtus]

but you can unplug a built in cam. even u disable it hackers can enable it.

I put black tape over my webcam and I make sure my mic is disabled. I've always been paranoid about that stuff. I think when people call you crazy about stuff like this it makes you more paranoid. It's really not that far fetched to believe someone might be looking in or thinking some entity might be spying on us all. I think this technological age is actually what is driving people crazy. We're just smart enough to know what things could be possible and there is no escape from it. The people who call us crazy for this paranoia without even looking into our beliefs for any truth i just see as stupid and naive.
I honestly think the only thing that matters is the ability to stay calm. Sometimes we all just have to relax and let these things go on around us. We cna't control it all.

That's why I have an older phone as well - no smart phones.

Truthfully, i don't see whats so wrong with being "watched or spied on".. i mean what exactly would be the point of spying on normal civilians , i'd understand if you were under suspicion of doing something bad or planning something bad but for the most part there's like nothing to gain from us being spied on it'd be a waste of time and resources. Personally if i learned that i was being watched or spied on i would be flattered but thats just me(i think i'm hot lol). And also, i think alot of people would love that kind of attention(celebs? And they also happen to be the ones whose phones get hacked and such)
any ways tl;dr
*Most people don't have to worry about being watched unless you're a bad guy or a celeb(think scarlet johanson or something)
*what exactly is the goal of people or "entities" spying on us, what would they gain that would justify the resources spent on such endeavors
*Unless you're a spy for some enemy country i think there should be no reason for you to be worried about organizations and things watching you
also..
ok sure cell phone towers track you location when you make a call and law enforcement can access this information, because IF something bad happened to you they'd want to know your last known location to help find or even save you!
I think a lot of hackers would rather have your ssn or some other personal info to sell or use(speaking of id theft theres a movie about it now)
Just my two cents

It's because its 24/7 and throught walls.
Government surviellance sucks.
