> crimes involving computers go uninvestigated. Plenty of people are hounded by threats of violence into leaving

This is an issue of social status. There is a computer mafia in America, and it is interwoven into the IC, SV and infrastructure providers. It exists to the benefit of the privileged.

Having been threatened with murder and then blackmailed, with zero consequence to the perpetrators, I have first hand experience dealing with such corruption.

Post Snowden, these abuses have become more entrenched, locked down, and a bit less cowboy/wild west

Care to elaborate? This sounds like something too heavy to leave behind as a remark on a comment

Got myself on a permanent fbi watchlist simply for associating with a known felon when i became an adult. this was back in the 1990's. that list was passed off after 9/11 to state/county authorities.

Panopticon put in place thereafter

Big tech abuse has been going on since well before snowden

Directly experienced this secret police gestapo crap, incl'g a series of incidents whereby connected folks abused their privilege; my investigation escalating to a serious murder threat, blackmail, and other related misconduct

Choose your battles. A wise person will slowly back away when encountering a dangerous animal. I dont suggest standing up to corruption by powerful people. they have ways of making more trouble for the defiant

Not terribly surprising that someone talking about sensitivities to electromagnetism has these kinds of delusions. I hope you get the help you need.

Theorizing that sensitivity to EM in urban environments explains someone's experience isn't controversial/deluded. An ex-CIA guy, Andrew Busamante, said this on a podcast. It was an episode about DEW's, IIRC.

You're free to take his assertion as credible or not, but that is my source.

Your assertion about delusions is funny. Likely you are also an arrogant bully IRL as well.

I live in a transitional shelter in Indiana. Fakeconcern not welcomed.

The same has been done to me by the same systems both physical and electronic. I have mental and physical scars to show.

The good die young if they don't realize the game they are playing quick enough. Godspeed.

you may be sensitive to EM, are you in an urban area and or near any radio or cell towers?

This is an extremely insensitive time and place to troll. Shame on you.

Just FYI, I don't think the other user was trolling. HN has a certain number of commenters coming from (let's say) distressed points of view. One can sometimes guess at this from the comment history. I don't mean to single anyone out, just to say that it's a regular if not a common pattern. It's not always easy to find a compassionate way to handle it but I think it's important to try.

I wasn't trolling and no one needs to treat me extra compassionately. I can cope just fine with reality. It's most folks who deny reality in order to remain sane and low in stress.

The world has some primordial evils in it. Only when you fall into a honey pot of the state, will you understand the level of evil and malevolence that exists as part of rule, law, and order.

The death and destruction isn't contained in neat bows, it happens on US soil in disturbing ways.

I am not special in any regard, I just have seen more than most. Enjoy the ride and don't forget that most outlier statistics aren't anomalous accidents, they are symptoms of a process that is subtle.

This sounds like an interesting story I’d like to hear. One that might shine light and spread the word about about such things.

Chisel off the serial numbers of these stories and have at it.

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36795360 and marked it off topic.

I'm sorry you've gone through such distressing experiences and definitely don't want to add to the distress, but I also don't want replies from HN commenters to add to it unintentionally.
