I'd been wondering why my google searches recently became NOT completely instantaneous (like they used to be) but now instead take a measurable (albeit still very small) amount of time. Now I know why. NSA has a wiretap on the ISP and every packet intended for Google is now being duplicated and sent to the NSA. So much for a lack of spying. I thought I'd NOT been a target of spying. In fact I'd recently bragged on other similar news stories that even though I'd viewed controversial sites that the govt may not like recently the govt agents never visited my door or did anything else noticeable in response. I took this as a hint that my internet activities were NOT being watched as everybody claimed. Maybe they saw my claims of not being spied on and put me on some kind of list of people to be spied on, in response to my online posts claiming I'd not been spied on (thinking that me making such claims counted as "suspicious activity" or something). Or maybe I'm not being targeted, but just that recently the spying program went to "full speed ahead" and so now more data is being intercepted than before. Either way, I'm pretty sure I've said a few controversial things or gone to a few controversial sites recently that might get the attention of people, if in fact I had been spied on such that this controversial stuff (and the fact I was commenting on it, or viewing it) made its way to the NSA or other govt agency. I just hope I don't get a knock on the door from the "men in black" anytime soon.
