Hello, I'm "Iwan Danilo Krüger" I made the Whisteblow which got around 5 billion views after around 5 hours a few months ago. Secret agency services tried killing me since then, but I'm still alive. How do I get a new smartphone/PC without CIA people installing a hardware keylogger on it?

This is a serious question



Please, seek psychological treatment.

This is not to say that the intelligence services don’t target people for surveillance or physical attack. They do. But what you’re saying doesn’t add up. It’s possible you may be suffering from paranoid delusions.

If you go and speak to a psychiatric professional, in the case that you are not delusional, it will not harm you. In the case that you are, they will help you detect that and assist you appropriately.

Good luck, and I hope things get better for you.


You think this is schizophrenic paranoia? No, I'm serious about it. sctb/pg even talked to me in person and can confirm it.


I don’t know if it is or not. By its very nature, it’s possible that neither do you. That’s the issue with delusions, they are indistinguishable from reality.

You should suffer no harm by seeking a professional opinion on the matter.


No, I'm not delusional or schizophrenic, but I'll agree asking serious advice on this topic on Hacker News is a stupid idea. Anyways, I'm serious about the OP and have even been bothered by Secret agencies before IRL.


Every single person in the world has some delusions. No one is exempt.


what does sctb / pg stand for?


The first one is a Hacker News moderator and the second is Paul Graham, a Y Combinator co-founder.

Yes, this I absolutely think this is schizophrenic paranoia.


Several things can cause paranoid delusions that aren’t schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder, including even sufficiently sustained sleep deprivation.

Let’s not try to diagnose anyone here and just get them pointed in the right direction for answers.


How do you know your electronics have keyloggers in them (beyond the hardware that's in everyone's electronics)?

What are you a whistle-blower regarding?

"Iwan Danilo Krüger" returns no hits in Google, so telling us that this is who you are like we're supposed to know this name seems nonsensical...


They even wrote shit into my E-Mails I was writing, so I wasn't only keylogged on a hidden level but on an obvious one.


Do you have any evidence of this? How do you know someone closer to home wasn't playing a prank on you? It's a bit of a stretch to assume it's a member of a three-letter agency messing with an email you were drafting.

Can you answer my question about what incident you're a whistle-blower for?

I'm really trying to take you seriously, but I feel like sneak is right, and you may be suffering some sort of paranoid delusion. Hard evidence of your claims would go a long way...


You know that Gmail has a predictive sentence complete, right?
