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…

    Possible? Yes. Going to happen? No.

    If your authoritarian government wants you gone they don’t need to pull off Hollywood Hacker shit. They can get you for “drugs” (that they planted) or even just outright “disappear” you. They can get rid of you quietly, anonymously, and only your equally powerless kith and kin will care.

    This kind of evidence planting is only for REALLY FAMOUS PEOPLE, when they want to put them through courts and convince the peasantry that, actually, this guy deserved it, and don’t be like him, before putting them in an electric chair.
