In a recent video posted by James O’Keefe, the conservative investigative journalist and founder of Project Veritas, he captured his smartphone behaving strangely when trying to open an app. After clicking on a Telegram icon, the screen briefly went blank, and then the phone turned off and on again. O’Keefe, ever the vigilant one, couldn’t help but wonder if he was being hacked while on the line with new whistleblowers. Paranoia or not, it’s no secret that these days the government seems to have a keen interest in spying on American citizens, especially those of a conservative persuasion.
For someone like O’Keefe, who has been lauded for his bravery and persistence in exposing fraud and corruption, having a target on his back is nothing new. As the author of the bestselling book “Breakthrough: Our Guerrilla War to Expose Fraud and Save Democracy,” he has incurred the ire of the left. The radical left, in particular, sees him as a nuisance and a threat, which is why being paranoid comes with the territory for O’Keefe.
“Life of a journalist exposing the FBI and New York Times!”

But it’s not just O’Keefe who should be concerned. There is evidence to suggest that the left, through the weaponized FBI and CIA, is targeting everyday Americans, especially those who lean conservative or are members of certain groups. The FBI, for example, has been accused of spying on traditionalist Catholics across the country, raising eyebrows and stoking fears that even religious communities aren’t safe from government surveillance. And let’s not forget about the CIA, which has reportedly been using everyday devices like smartphones and televisions to spy on both U.S. and foreign citizens.
With all this in mind, it’s hard not to feel a little jittery when our smartphones and other “smart” devices start behaving oddly. It’s no longer so easy to write off glitches as mere technical hiccups. In the age of Big Brother watching our every move, it’s not a stretch to think that our devices could be used against us. So the next time your phone freezes or your TV turns on by itself, just remember: you might not be alone. Big Brother is watching, and he may very well be watching you.
