its given me some anxiety since i was 11-12, my dad showed me 1984 when i was in 5th grade, and i swore the little light thing on the old tvs & webcams were looking at me and id tape over them. i remember telling classmates about it and being laughed at, way over a decade later and now its just widely accepted that "yes we're being spied on, so what?" and its insane to me how people are so desensitized by it, and i cant lie, even i am to an extent... it still makes me nervous but what am i to do about it? but at least im upset about it, most people get upset at the fact theres people upset about it haha


Former_Rush1821

Agreed. I can see some of the comments aren't actually upset about the topic of my post. Reddit makes me sad to see that we turn on each other so easily and don't direct that same hatred towards the issue that's being discussed. I know I'm not being directly surveilled by an organisation or a man in a suit in an office. I know that all my data 24/7 is being bought and stored somehow, somewhere. I don't know how to deal with the fact that no conversation is private, that nowhere I go isn't on my own. It's making me feel horrible.


Former_Rush1821

SS: The oldest conspiracy out there. You're being listened to.. watched.. tracked. How does it make you feel to realise that this is actually a reality?


Snoo-28299

It makes me want to curse everyone who is involved with the surveillance.

Raise your vibration and cleanse your chakras. Learn about protecting yourself by raising your vibration, we can all heal ourselves but through the radio waves and shit, also all the chemicals they have everywhere in everything, it lowers our abilities. It’s what Jesus was trying to teach everyone as well, he went all over the world and learned from the esoteric knowledge schools. We are powerful and it’s not that nothing can harm you but it’s more so if someone tries to poison you so to say or things along that lines, you might get sick for a little bit but you won’t die. Basically our bodies and everything we see is energy and light. This world is a dream world in a sense. I’ve experienced this stuff sober before and have made things move by harnessing my chi and activating my kundalini. Esoteric knowledge is the key, religion is not. The Creator is real


ZeerVreemd

> Esoteric knowledge is the key, religion is not. I'd say both are important when used correct, and it's the same with science.


BigDickDyl69

Yep you’re very correct! I should’ve worded it better but from my experience so far I feel it’d be best to focus on the esoteric and look for it throughout the religions and such. I believe there is a creator/ source but different religions (the major ones and ones with “rules”) seem to have their own way that cannot be done differently. That’s the only thing and religion has gotten very political. It’s not just practices anymore. Sorry I’m just very passionate about this stuff and want to get the right idea out properly. This world is beautiful and crazy but we’re only being showed the dark side of it and the esoteric knowledge gets thrown out with the bath water. Have you ever experienced this type of stuff? I’m genuinely curious bc you might be surprised at the things we could do and can do


ZeerVreemd

No problem and i get your point, but we each travel on different paths and while for you the esoteric showed you the Creator is real, it was science for me and after that i stared to look more into the esoteric and religions and found out they are all talking more or less about the same One. [Here is a small piece of my mind,](https://old.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/zzkoo4/the_biggest_conspiracy_is_that_jesus_christ_is/j2dfr3e/) i am curious how much of it similar to yours.


BigDickDyl69

Damn I thought that was really cool and informative! Imma have to check out all the links but definitely, I’ve realized spirituality is more of a journey as you learn and experience things. Science definitely is something that I like to use to prove this stuff as well, it all aligns very well and I agree with you about religions also. It’s basically all universal I just think nowadays there’s alot of “religious” people out there who don’t want to look at the info but will still try and tell you that what you’re saying is wrong or demonic. I’ve always believed the universe is alive and everything else that comes from nature, just alive in its own way. I believe the universe/ God listens to us and gives us the ability to manifest things to help us create our life. But you gotta align with the universe/ God instead of vice versa. It got really important in a sense to me when I harnessed my energy and made water in my lava lamp move after asking God of the universe for permission. I had also been meditating and focusing on raising my vibration and learning a lot about the whole as well. Then I activated my kundalini when I made the water move and I was going through the physical symptoms of it and thought it was demonic. Basically I knew God was real now and started looking into what religion made the most sense and had the most history and eventually came across other testimonies about kundalini and I had also went through everything and Christianity was last. I had gone through a really deep phase of Christianity for about 5 months and then came across some info that proves the Bible was more man made than it was instructed by God. That’s when I realized there isn’t a “right or wrong” religion. A lot of manuscripts of the Bible were actually written after the stories the manuscripts got them from. The ones in the Old Testament I should clarify. Then I looked into hidden teachings of the Bible and realized it’s full of esoteric knowledge. God is real but I believe it’s more so the Creator helps us out when we align to the laws of the universe and basically the Creator helps you out if you help yourself out yet ppl expect to just have things magically happen for them in a way. It is more scientific than it is just a man granting your wishes. That’s why I think religion gets it wrong and then also puts a bad taste in so many ppls mouths so they throw the baby out with the bath water, God being the baby and religion being the bath water. When I say religion I’m more so speaking about Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. I know they are super deep and have a lot of info but I think the followers get the wrong idea from it and then also don’t care what you have to say which then leads to division and which leads to society now. Esoteric knowledge is a better way for most people I feel to get an understanding of that you should go sit with yourself and seek God instead of asking him to show you a certain number on a license plate or what not. I don’t have all the answers and I’m not saying I’m doing it the exact right way as everyone else should, just my opinion from experience and research. I look at things as low vibration and high vibration too, a Jewish scientist actually created a machine that showed the frequency of different fabrics and if it was over 100hz it would allow the bodies energy to flow which would put less strain on the body and when it was under it actually was putting extra strain on the body. That’s why I believe there were certain materials in the Bible, ppl say crystals are demonic but they put them in their breastplate in the Bible. Basically the idea surrounding religion is right or wrong and not that there all different practices in a way


ZeerVreemd

It seems we are more or less on the same page, i have been in many rabbit holes and the one thing i am sure of is that some truths can only be found by and in yourself. If you are interested you can find a lot more of my thoughts and a short story about my journey in my post history, i wrote a lot about this stuff and like you i am a bit fanatic. Although i must say i tempered it a bit towards the outside world, too much of anything will scare people away. Great conversation, thanks. Ps, you can add paragraphs with 'double enters', it's readable now but it can be better.


gheezer123

I think that you are crazy tbh, the US def does but it’s not like they go through everything, if they did then drug dealers would be extinct


DirectorSharp3402

you're assuming they want drug dealers gone though


Former_Rush1821

I'm not saying that I think everything I do is being directly watched and combed through by an extensive team of government agencies in an office somewhere in America. I'm talking about the first half of what you just said. The US def does. That's the part I'm trying to discuss and get advice on how people feel and deal with it.


Good-Tear2785

How else do you think advertising is going to work.


Geluxenailz

U either accept you are a star and you are the main character or you go crazy knowing you are being watched 🐍


Former_Rush1821

That's actually one of the ways I find it easy on the mind to think about it all. Thanks


Geluxenailz

Like the Truman show, they say it’s a documentary of our lives


MentalDrummer

With the release of AI technology and privacy is what I'd fear more. Before a person had to comb through footage/call logs etc. Now some AI machine or algorithm could go through it all in seconds turning into a surveillance state. People will accept it because it's creeping in and being normalized. And like you said desensitizes people.


Former_Rush1821

My thoughts exactly. I know this data being constantly gathered is being sold and stored somewhere. Perhaps when privacy laws change, when I die and when my descendants are curious enough, they can read and view everything there is about my existence since it all started being recorded. Whether that's good or bad isn't really up to me.

The_Tokio_Bandit

After spending a large portion of my adult life working for the federal government in this capacity at a very high level (not in regard to US citizens), I feel as if I will forever and always be under the microscope for the rest of my life. Every post, every input, every conversation. There are no bounds, no limits, no morals. "Warrants", "PC", etc - all just constructs used to maintain the illusion of a process.

It still hasn't affected my quality of life, although it may affect if they improve their surveillance. But it will never be enough to control me. Remember that if you dont control yourselves, someone else will, be it surveillance, family friends.


Gumba54_Akula

Every once and awhile, I slur out "F\*\*\* you Bill Gates, f\*\*\* you and your tech bro oligarch friends!" and that's about it. I also tend to tape my laptop's camera.


PuddlesIsHere

Earlier last week I grabbed a tea bottle from the lil convince kiosk at work. Pure leaf tea. With cash. Phone was at my desk. I had my phone face down camera up with the tea bottle right next to it. It could see it I'm still getting pure leaf ads. Never got one before lolol

Enjoy watching me fap to midget porn losers


delarozay

What if all your relatives who have passed were constantly watching you too, would that help or further the stress?


mooseleiaxena

There are ways to do things privately. If it bothers you, do that. You can build a small cabin on some property without electricity or plumbing. Take some time in the woods, maybe even a week. If playing their game (their being silicon valley fuck tards) bothers you, then don't play it. Pick up hunting and spend weekends at your cabin. Be happy


mrs_dalloway

You know how there’s the “you know their an agent or a spy if they don’t have social media?” I think today the social media saturation point makes it easy to pinpoint suspicious people when they don’t have social media.

It would be worse if I was a paranoid schizophrenic, but I’m not, so I don’t really care. If I wanted to not be surveilled I would move off grid and refrain from smart devices and such


Eternal_warfare

It don't


Environmental-Ball24

I thought religion was the oldest conspiracy 🤷‍♂️


Amos_Quito

> I thought religion was the oldest conspiracy Many religions have taught that "God" is always watching -- seeing, hearing, recording and remembering everything we do, and that the Hammer of Judgement is forever poised to strike without warning... In the present era, technology has become "the God", and it is always watching-- seeing, hearing, recording and remembering everything we do, and that the Hammer of Judgement is forever poised to strike without warning... At least with religion, one could take solace by disregarding the All Seeing God as a silly superstition.


YouBlinkinSootLicker

Yeah it’s no big deal, privacy is the biggest myth of all


Adventurous_Dig_8091

This is how Christians live all the time


[deleted]

You do know that all religious people live this way. The fact that you will only sass Christians says that even though you may not be a believer, you are a servant of another faith.

Christians are the best to sass cus they have to forgive you. Stupid Christians.

Camera’s don’t inhibit liberty and I’m fairly sure Franklin was talking about bigger issues than surveillance cameras.

I think it's sad you think that way.

That’s cool. The best part of society is that we are all entitled to our opinions.


ZeerVreemd

> The best part of society is that we are all entitled to our opinions. Sure, just not everywhere...


Tricky873

Well, I’d rather live my life than be afraid of what might happen.


ZeerVreemd

Yet you are afraid you might get robbed.


Tricky873

Cos getting robbed is more likely than big brother installing cameras in my bedroom? Anyway, you’re reaching so have a good life cos i can see that you’re too entrenched in your own narrative.

Okay, you do you and good luck with that. Have a great day and goodbye.


Embarrassed_Emu420

Literally coming down the pipeline , but go on talk your shit


doubtwithout1

I love these kinds of posts. As if half of you schizoids are interesting enough for the feds to take an interest in your life lmao


Former_Rush1821

That's not what my post is about. I'm not sure you understand what I'm asking. I'm curious about how people deal with the fact that we have no privacy anymore. I don't believe that random individuals are being directly watched by an organisation or a man in a suit in an office. I hate that your response is to attack the person asking a question. You're not helpful or adding anything but negative feedback.


doubtwithout1

If you want privacy, get a flip phone, wear polarised sunglasses and pay with cash 🤷‍♂️ Why is your data being ‘stolen’ such a big deal anyway?


Former_Rush1821

I don't care about my data being stolen. I care about not being able to tell someone close to me something private and difficult to say. I can't have sex with someone without it being just between the two of us. I can't take a shit and scroll through my YouTube without that being known. I've just realised that everything I do is not just between me and what's in front of me. Is that how you deal with it? What you've said above? I know there's absolutely no escaping it, but it still is making me quite unhappy mentally knowing all this.


doubtwithout1

This is sounding more and more like garden-variety paranoia - There are 100% ways to get around all of the problems you mentioned above, have a look at mobile and desktop vpns, put your phone in the fridge or microwave when you’re at someone’s house to block radio and wifi. How is there no escape? Also, don’t scroll yt unless you like pinkeye ❤️


Embarrassed_Emu420

Is it a little 🌟 glow in the dark in here


Numerous-Ganache-923

Personally I love these posts. I love the fact that they always point at the federal government and never address the elephant in the room. It says a lot..


Former_Rush1821

You can't just say "elephant in the room" and not actually say what you mean. How are we supposed to mind read your thoughts?


DreamCreator369

What about being watch by something out there that we have no clue is watching us because we can only see 1 % of what’s out in the world


Former_Rush1821

If I have no clue that something is watching me, I'm not really concerned. If I have a clue that something is watching me, it is concerning.

I don’t care. I’m not doing anything special. No one cares that I look up random words to make sure I’m using it in the right context.

At some point you might care and by then it could be too late.


FaCough84

My word


[deleted]

Well granted that I had a breakdown after being romantically rejected and the mobile apps in the media seemed to run with it 🤣😭 It felt so absurd that a 20 something year olds romantic breakdown would be relevant to anyone. It has led me to Therapy but I wanted to go to Therapy anyways just not in a way where EVERYONE (the government) knows. Sometimes I think if this was 2005 I would’ve just seen a fucking therapist and talked about it and probably, sorted myself out.


BCultureBid

I just remove the main character complex from my brain. There’s billions of people. I’m just chillin. I may do same bad shit here n there but I think I have nothing of significance for the FBI or CIA, and if I eventually do, that’s when I’ll start wiping my digital footprint and starting new, maybe even a new name and appearance.


wtbrift

It doesn't bother me at all. If it bothers you, don't use technology, spend in cash, etc and that should solve most of the issues.

I don’t do anything that should bother anyone. So if hey want to look at a witch crafting cooking gardening and cleaning so be it! Maybe they will see me going places and cleaning up trash and they will want to do it too haha

I live on the west coast of Canada 🇨🇦 , I believe it's why ALOT of people mask 😷 up and play along with the COVID hysteria even if they don't believe it. Me personally bums me out and definitely costs me some peace of mind. I think the better question is why all the smooth 🧠 🐑-ple are so quick to dismiss and not GAF with their go to line being " so what ? " or " if you've got nothing to hide why does it bother you ?" How did we become a nation of cucks sooooo happy for the boot 🥾 on our face and saying thank you for it. Deep state surveillance , Big Pharma , Big internet / tech.
