Hasn't anybody learned anything from Edward Snowden? Of course you're government is spying on you - it's how they keep us under control and stay in power. They keep everyone locked up in this fake left-right paradigm [behind closed doors both parties actively work together for their own agendas] and thrive off the division it perpetuates. While the people become passionately political and are at each other's throats over the trivial issues the division over petty political debates is what keeps us from uniting against them.
It's not really news that we are being surveilled, but most people aren't going to bother to inform themselves and choose to remain ignorant because it's simply easier that way.
The U.S. army now has a drone which can fit onto a fingertip and is designed to look like a mosquito:
The next time you are outside and there is a pesky mosquito flying by your head it just might not be an insect...
There is constant new surveillance technology rapidly being developed and Uncle Sam is quite pleased to push the boundaries. If there is a civil unrest which leads to a revolt in the UK, well, they have something for that too in the form of a dragonfly:

You can bet if the UK is developing something like that the U.S. has something similar if not better since nobody spends more money on defense projects than the U.S. Government (it's why we are the military superpower of the world).
Did you all really believe that Trump is "anti-establishment", a political outsider to protect us from a despotic big brother? Think again:

He, along with the rest of the real establishment (not the fake one on the corporate media), is in bed with Hillary (politically speaking) and is accomplishing much of the same agenda if she had won.
Surveillance technology is developing at such an alarming rate that the courts can't keep up:

If the police and other law enforcement agencies are constantly coming up with new ways to spy on us and the courts can't keep up then how can anybody expect our elected representatives to protect us from security policy out of control when it is abused? Why do we even trust them?
Still don't believe in the Illuminati? I don't blame you, but they were a real organization founded by Adam Weishaupt in 1775. History tells us they were disbanded by the Bavarian government, but many conspiracy theorists or truth seekers or whatever you want to call them believe they infiltrated other secret societies like the freemasons. Lots of circumstantial evidence throughout history to indicate this did happen and it amuses me when people think we have a "Judeo-Christian" government in the U.S.
In case nobody told you it's actually a
masonic government. George Washington? Freemason. The architect who designed Washington D.C., Pierre Charles L'Enfant? Freemason. The statue of Liberty? A gift from the French Freemasons (says so on the plaque at the base of the statue). Benjamin Franklin? Member of the Hellfire club. What about James Buchanan, Gerald Ford, James Garfield, Warren Harding, Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, William McKinley, James Monroe, James Polk, Franklin Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Harry Truman? All Freemasons. There's actually more historical evidence, but that's all part of independent research.
The Illuminati has also long been associated with Hollywood (tons of movies with Illuminati symbolism in them) and one celebrity, Naomi Campbell, doesn't hide her connection with her house:

Whether you actually believe in the Illuminati running the government from the shadows is entirely irrelevant. There are plenty of wealthy and influential with vast connections in the upper echelon of the status quo who do believe in them and that fact alone should be enough to scare you.
Tin foil hat stuff indeed, but it's a little different when it's real. It becomes easier to disbelieve and dismiss with derision than to accept the possibility of the incredible outside the comfort zone of our world view.
Just remember, it's not paranoia when they're really after you.
