Communication between the gunmen and those who have hired them is done through encrypted messaging apps, including Whatsapp, Telegram, and Signal, Matthews said.

Which is why we require unfettered backdoor access to all of your technology that bad actors will never ever, ever find /s

The mandatory backdoors would not help with this problem even if they were somehow magically made safe. If they managed to coerce Signal into installing a back door — which of course they can't do — it would quickly be abandoned by its users and whatever tiny share it has of all the criminal gang recruiting activity would move on to places that are even harder to monitor.

Telegram users, where more of that sort of thing goes on, would probably be slower to move. But still people would eventually catch on and there are already more secure alternatives waiting to take over. They'll just be ensuring that whichever one wins out won't be one that's in any way cooperative with Canadian law enforcement.

Don't worry, the criminals will be fine. It's only the normal people who don't pay any attention to security since they have nothing to hide who will become super easy to spy on.

The surveillance already happens.

...not saying they don't want to make it complete surveillance, and the safety marketing isn't bullshit...

...That's already the elite agenda world wide.

They want to "come out of the closet" about surveillance, because as of now law doesn't allow the technology outside of loopholes so they won't openly speak about it because they are useful.

Since 2020 though... It's really as if some dark group, lifestyle, organization, or even biological psychology (psychopaths) is owning the path of humanity.

Just observe and you can see it. Things just don't add up.

The scary part... Is that it's beyond our governments. And "regular" people think they can vote it away.

There's such a deep hole you can find similarities in... Epstein elite, organized crime, Freemasonry, religious eschatology. I never was a conspiracy person... But it seems you start to realize the real players of the human game all play a game that we are socially taught not to play. And that's why they are currently winning.

You reach a point of understanding a dark surreal realization that even our politicians, cops, etc, regardless of left or right or political affiliations are also "simple" naive people being played out just as much as us lower citizens.

Shit... Watch trump... He seems like a victim/actor of this same thing. How dark is that... The American president is just a hostage of a world wide elite Mafia that presides beyond governments. ...And they are playing with nations, cities, cultures, and lifestyles like it's a game of The Sims.

I don't want to understand this stuff. I wish I never realized it. I wish they would let me forget about it.

Yeah, we know. Everyone in power bows to moneyed interests.

We also know that surveillance already happens. That's no excuse to pooh-pooh any attempts to get what privacy we can, where we can.

Lamar only charges $1000 for the service.

A steal tbh

That's just the price we pay for a free society.

Wait, are we taking about the guns or the messaging apps?

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

What about make a situation where these influential people have an actual, foreseeable future ahead of them instead of a dead end to no where like even Canada is doing.

Hmm, you know what else happened in 2020? Cyberpunk dropped

Sounds like gangstalking. There's obviously something going on world wide.

I've been seeing the same style incidents happening since 2020. You see the news and something seems off, like it's controlled like the Truman show.

It's going to get worse... Humanity is going full speed to hell. Most people are content with their personal escapism methods avoiding actual reality.

Speak to a medical professional about this stuff. "Gangstalking" conspiracies are textbook paranoid schizophrenia. "Everybody I see is involved in a conspiracy" because your mind is building conspiracies in your head.

This website is one of many where gangstalkers organize. They call themselves lolcow farmers. Except when society deems that a victim has provided enough evidence, they are called a "mass bullying campaign" instead. From the website:

[Rule] 5. Do not alert a subject to their thread or take any other action to lead them to lolcow.farm (cowtipping).

It is lolcow farmers' intent to leave their victims unaware that their behavior is being tracked by a large group of people, i.e. that they are stalking them as a gang. Gangstalking them, if you will. This website is accessible from duckduckgo search, so it has token disclaimers about not doxing people, but this is logically only going to be the tip of the iceberg. It implies gangstalkers exist in the same way a lolicon thread on 4chan implies organized pedophile rings exist.

Between the Epstein files, Snowden leaks, COINTELPRO declassification, and more, quite a lot complaints dismissed as "textbook schizophrenia" have turned out to have a basis in fact. Gangstalking appears to be no different.

IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet's sense of unreality at the news is also quite justified; the news is heavily distorted by propaganda and corporate pressures, a constant slurry of context-free "breaking" events with no attempt at an overarching narrative or building of understanding. The Truman Show-like control is also kind of real with personalized algorithmic feeds that are constantly being fine-tuned by fascists to keep you locked in.

I don't know if IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet has been targeted as a lolcow. Perhaps they are schizophrenic. Contacting a professional is a good idea either way. Though if they have been targeted, a private investigator will probably prove to be of at least as much help as a psychologist.
