Recommended Reading: This is how it feels to be watched and harassed

Many of you may have already read the excellent article published  in the New York Times more than a year ago, about Laura Poitras and her role in Edward Snowden’s big revelations.

I just read it for the first time and it is really interesting.  The part that describes the elaborate precautions Laura has taken to keep the government out of her private life are a testimony to what it is like to be under surveillance, put on a watch list without your knowledge, and to be harassed repeatedly, without ever being charged with a crime.

Gangstalking feels a lot like that.  The article captures the justified paranoia Snowden and these two journalists have of the United States.   Laura Poitras already knew what she was up against by the time Snowden contacted her; her security precautions, are one of the reasons he chose her.

When a U.S.Citizen, who becomes a whistleblower, has to be given asylum by Russia to avoid unreasonably harsh persecution by the U.S. Government, there is something really wrong,  The US Government is the one who committed the truly despicable crimes here. Their outrage over Edward Snowden’s, exposure of those crimes is a smoke screen being used to focus the public attention away from the real crimes committed against the American People by their own government.

If you haven’t previously read this article, I highly recommend it:  How Laura Poitras Helped Snowden Spill His Secrets

If you have read it, her new documentary, Citizenfour ,was just released this week, to rave reviews.
This is what it feels like to be on a government watch list.  This is what harassment feels like.  This is how it feels to be gangstalked!
