Hacked?
While I know that my laptop is virtually an NSA beckon, I've been using my mom's old desktop with Linux on it hoping to keep some privacy. However, I had an unusual experience yesterday. After being outside with my family for about an hour or half an hour, I came back to my Opera Web Browser having weird videos open in several tabs all playing and my mouse not really responding like it normally should (even when I have a lot of videos open).
I know what you are thinking, it was probably just the auto play in YouTube bringing up weird videos, but I looked at the history and it went from the video I was watching, to the YouTube homepage, then to the weird video I definitely didn't click (among a few was the droop snoot video like some hacker is laughing about all of this). The feeds on the pages also had weird stuff like "I've become death destroyer of worlds" with a photoshopped warped image of a person, weird color balances and gritty videos, and videos talking about microwaves. It's basically stuff you would do to someone to make them think a demon took over your computer (some TIs do believe that), especially if you are constantly being tortured with DEWs like I am. It's similar to the video and news feeds I would get on my cell phone while I was in my Phoenix apartment. In my Phoenix apartment not only did I get bizarre feeds like that but I got hit with microwaves so bad that when I would put wet towels on my body to protect myself, they would become hot like someone put them in the microwave for 20 seconds. Most of my burns on my body that are still visible today are from my Phoenix apartment.
Anyway, I couldn't connect to any websites this morning (but pinging IPs worked just fine). So I changed my DNS server from my router to one of the available ones online. I had done that with my Red Hat install of Linux, but I guess I forgot to do it with my Debian install of Linux. (Never trust the DNS servers of your router, especially if the router is from your ISP, unless you built the router yourself.) Now that this computer or something on it is hacked, it seems to be a slow revelation technique that EVERYTHING is hacked to create a sense of hopelessness. They did this to me in my Georgetown home when I first learned people were stalking me online (employees/web admins looking for my IP address on different websites), then that my security cameras were hacked, then that my Google account was hacked, and finally that my phone's camera was actively taking pictures/video/audio recordings of me. Again, it seems to be designed to create this sense of hopelessness/helplessness—that you can't escape so why try.
I suspect a few different things in regards to my computer:
1.) My CPU has an active management engine in it and is being exploited
2.) Opera Web Browser has some backdoor in it being exploited
3.) YouTube is compromised and is launching different videos to mess with certain people
4.) I wasn't really on YouTube but a fake site from my comprised DNS server
I don't believe my Debian OS has been hacked as Debian is pretty secure. I'm no security expert, but I haven't found any unusual activity in the logs. But I have hardened the OS since.
I checked for my CPU having an active management engine on it (a secret OS system living in your CPU). I have an AMD Athlon II X2 250 processor.
The AMD Platform Security Processor or PSP (the equivalent of Intel's Intel Management Engine or ME, also known as God Mode Unlocked among hackers) was put in microchips starting on 2013. My CPU, however, was made in 2009 or 2010. So #1 is out.
The second possibility might be it. While Opera is based on Chromium, which is open source, they then layer on their own code which isn't. I should have been wary of any all-in-one service (they had ad blockers, VPNs, WhatsApp, Google Hangouts, and some other features built into the browser). It reminds me of how cells phones have microphones, cameras, GPS location, and an entire operating system all builtin and now they are being used against us. They started doing this in 2013 and Opera was bought out in 2016 by a Chinese company (though it might be a front for US intelligence or US intelligence might have found a backdoor built into the software as Asian companies like to do that just how Samsung in Korea did it with their phones years ago).
I also noticed some weird IP activity. It either goes to Washington D.C. (NSA?) or the United Kingdom (GCHQ?). (That's what my newly installed firewall was blocking from Opera as it was trying to reach out for auto updates or maybe something else.) It also connects to port 5228 instead of HTTP or HTTPS. That port is used for Google Play servers so people assume it has to do with Google Hangouts, but it only seems to connect to that server when I open Opera in Private Mode. Plus, that server is sometimes in the Netherlands (why?). Netherlands is known for their Internet IP privacy laws which is why hackers like to use their VPNs for attacks. (Amsterdam/Netherlands was also behind the major attack on my home network when this all started.) Something fishy for sure.
Biggest lesson: Don't use any software that isn't open source, especially your browser.
(I really liked Opera because it felt more minimalist than Firefox. The Linux command line text was much cleaner and easier to understand too. It already had the ad blocker from the start which is the only extension I install in my browsers. I never really used Opera's VPN.)
Looks like it is back to Firefox and Chromium for me. (Don't use Chrome or even off-the-shelf Chromium, despite it being open source, as it uses a lot of Google's serves that will track you. Instead, use ungoogled-chromium. But you will have to hack it a little if you want to install extensions like an ad blocker.)
What about #3, is YouTube hacked? It's possible as NSA's MUSCULAR program broke into both Google's and Yahoo's data centers without being caught until Snowden exposed them. Oh look, that is ran by both the NSA and GCHQ just like the IP addresses I'm finding for Opera. So there might be another program going on that can trigger disturbing feeds/suggestions for certain IP address and Google accounts on YouTube and other major websites.
#4 is possible. I'm not going to get into that one for this post.
The real question is: Why do this now?
I think they know I might be leaving soon and wanted to do one more surprise on me. I wouldn't be using this computer anymore being a desktop so they no longer need to monitor me on it.
Or, it's punishment because I followed up on my FOIA request (really a Texas Public Information Act request or PIA). If they've been monitoring me on this computer, it might explain why I haven't gotten it in the mail (as it was intercepted) as the city employees claim to have sent it through. But I followed up asking for an email and I don't think there is too much they (the federal government) can do about intercepting that. This is a PIA request that might give me information on one of my gangstalkers.
This isn't the first time my PIA request mysterious came across some problems that might reveal the identify of one of my gangstalkers. When I was being followed on Dallas's DART rail, I filed an information request for the camera footage from a station. Then DART said that my letter in the mail took extra long to get to them (I'm only one county away from them and handed the envelope directly to the central post office of my county) and that they only kept footage for 14 days (?!?, 30 days or greater is normally the policy for government agencies). When I filed another PIA with the Texas Library of Congress for record retention period agreements filed by DART, my uncle sent me a photo of the envelope they responded with. However, when I came to get it I found out my aunt threw it away! That's the same aunt that mysteriously knows all my private conversations. She has hinted at the fact that she has seen my Google account and the passwords in it. This is the same aunt whose husband is a Vietnam vet (different uncle from the one I mentioned above). If you're wondering why I used mail instead of email back then, this is when my gangstalking first started. I didn't know what was going on other than just about everything I owned being hacked. I thought using physical mail was a safe option, but it seems like the government has been intercepting my mail as well.

But, honestly, this is all very tiring. I have solid evidence of my phone and laptop being hacked, so, other than making notes of the weird things going on, I don't think I really need to work on getting solid evidence of my desktop or some software on it being hacked.
What a pain in the ass these people are.
P.S. What the heck? As I was working on this telegra.ph got blocked! All the other websites out there loaded just fine. I had to use a VPN to finish this. Check this out:
You can't explain this unless it is the NSA. I'm screwed!
