I've been following surveillance news for years now, talking to friends and reading/commenting on articles. I'm no longer just paranoid, I'm scared. When I'm home alone at night and hear a car, I lie here quietly and hold my breath, wondering If the FBI is about to kick down my door for looking into privacy. I am an advocate but by no forms a leader or activist. Yet the news of raids and drones terrifies me. Is anyone else experiencing more than just paranoia from survellance? It's ruining my mental state and the only thing I've done is looked into the truth.

Well said. And I should be more clear, I live life to the fullest, I'm am avid outdoorsman and love my job. But when I'm home alone at night it gets freaky sometimes. And I feel that it's fucked up thay I should be scared of my own gov in my own house

I am no doctor, but it sounds like you have anxiety issues. The government is pretty fucked up, but honestly, if you think you are important enough to warrant surveillance, you have an ego problem. You gotta just chill the fuck out and live life. Psychedelics taken in the right frame of mind does wonders to reset the ego. Reset.me is a pretty good resource for info.
You are right, it is fucked up. That said, you have already taken the first step at fixing the problem, realizing it is a problem.
Remember, the main tactic the government uses to control people is FEAR. Try not to let them control you in the sanctity of your own home through fear. Again, not a doctor, but it sounds like an anxiety problem to me.
EDIT: Another good step would be to stop following the news so closely. I don't know if you do, but the news is the number one way that fear is instilled in a populace.
Some good reading about tools to instill fear/control/etc. is http://www.amazon.com/The-Dictators-Handbook-Behavior-Politics/dp/1610391845

I've had anxiety issues in the past, so I suppose they could just be getting applied to this nowadays. Thanks for the long and thought-out response. I'm gonna look into that read
