I just though about Steve Huffman’s comment editing shenanigan, and started wondering…
I mean…
Your devices might have backdoors, and even if not, there might be zero day exploits just waiting to be found, or perhaps the government already have them.
The US government could just…
Create a “Antifa PDF”, filled with instructions on how to commit terrorism, and all of its contents which are written by the CIA, and the contents are made to be worded to be as violent as possible, then infect every registered Democrat (whose phone numbers are in the voter registration btw) with Pegasus, then inject that PDF into the files.
Then just call tell the FBI to go arrest them. They arrest the people and just “finds” those PDF document. Now they have “proof” of terrorist activities.
And they might even use Pegasus to just fabricate entire phone conversations.
Like, they can:
Create a fake conversation between Democrat A anf Democrat B and fabricate a convincing exchange about them “plotting a terrorist act”, use the most violent words possible. Voila, more of those “evidence”.
They could just arrest Democrats en masse in swing states.
I mean at this point, they probably could justify Martial Law and there would be zero objections from the military because this would all just “seems legit”.
Like, you wanna criticize trump? Boom, random “terrorist looking” PDF document is in your files (done by the CIA).
Like…
Have anyone though about this?
Am I just being over paranoid? Perhaps I watch too much movies…
Pretty likely if you’re important enough to be on their radar? They already use their own router backdoors to patch routers to keep chinese/russian/etc botnets out
Lol, those back doors were probably how they got in, in the first place.
They have back doors to prevent backdoors? Is it possible they are just too nearsighted to realize any backdoor could be exploited by anyone?
In my experience about half of IT workers are clueless drones, another quarter are just slackers, and the remaining quarter get everything done. Those two quarters trade people on the regular thanks to burnout cycles, but yeah, there are still plenty of IT staff out there making terrible, boneheaded decisions daily.
Its important to ride the line between slacking and getting shit done, as well as keeping up skills and not being bored.
