Thanks to the OP for the thread... I know where you are coming from... I've been watched for about a year now. I am a bit like you in the traveling
the net and sites that are listed by the government... but I also have a hacking background that goes back to when I was caught as a teen. I still
frequent hacking and exploiting sites and am very verbal about the government. I belong to many anti-government and free speech groups. My most
recent incidents were pretty bad. It was just before Christmas and I was buying ammunition online by the case (that's 1000 rounds at a time). Then I
bought 3 high powered rifles and 2 handguns in a weeks time. I was in the garage working on political signs with the radio blasting... I could hear
an extra thumping noise (like bass) and it wasn't going to the song. I thought WTF.. so I turned off the radio.. and could hear the Thumping sound
very loud then. I went out the side door of the garage and right in front of me at the tops of the trees was a green helicopter (kind that troops
transport in). It had no markings and was close enough I could see the pilot. Scared the sh&t out of me! First reaction was to get my gun... it was
up at the house. So, second reaction was to give them the middle finger... I did, both middle fingers. They flew off.
Next incident was only a month ago... much like you I HAD tons of sites of interest (to me and them) bookmarked (i'm a very verbal Bush basher by the
way). I was online and following links to wherever they lead me... when my computer mouse moved by itself... my screen went blue for a couple
minutes... then restarted. When my computer came back up I opened Opera browser (which always starts me where I left off). My homepage was changed
to this
www.cid.army.mil... and remains that way today (I figure they would just change it back next time). All my bookmarks were gone. All of
them gone. My computer has been swept and cleared of backdoors and trojans... now has a firewall on it... but still, I doubt that will keep them out
of it if they really want in.
Again, thanks for your story. If someone gets on your nerves you don't have to have a battle of words with them... just hit the ignore button under
their name... and POOF, they are gone.
PS - UPLANDER... I believe the OP said that they did not get a pic of the vans parked outside... but they got pics showing out the window showing
where the vans were parked.
