Am I being watched by the CIA?

It's highly unlikely the CIA is personally watching you unless you're a significant national security threat, as their focus is foreign intelligence, but your data might be part of broader U.S. government mass surveillance programs, collecting general online activity, though they are legally restricted from targeting U.S. citizens directly. While the FBI handles domestic spying, reports confirm the CIA has run bulk data collection programs, collecting vast amounts of information that could include data related to Americans under certain circumstances.

Are the CIA watching me?

Unless you're involved in illegal activities that are a threat to national security or are just unlawful, the CIA most likely is NOT spying on you. Mass surveillance is also not the case where they listen to your calls and know your location at all times.

How to tell if you're under surveillance?

Feeling under surveillance is unsettling, but you can look for signs like repeated unfamiliar faces/vehicles, unexplained electronic issues (phone draining fast, strange app behavior), or disturbances in your home/workplace; to check, disrupt your routine or create a false pattern to see if it's noticed, and if you have serious concerns, consult a lawyer or the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (in the UK) for potential unlawful monitoring.
 

How will the CIA contact you?

The CIA will contact you through official channels like phone calls, emails, or mail, often after you've applied online via their MyLINK portal, to schedule interviews or extend offers; they look for specific skills and may reach out through recruiters, sometimes via unusual methods like consultancy firms, if they find you through other means. Expect contact within about 45 days of application, with clear instructions to check voicemail/spam folders for texts and to apply again if rejected. 

Does the CIA still do remote viewing?

In the early 1970s, the CIA experimented with applications of remote viewing in intelligence gathering. Later in the decade, they abandoned the program. However, other government agencies, including the Department of Defense, used remote viewers to obtain intelligence information.

Can the CIA see your internet history?

Important Caveats. While the government won't go snooping through your Internet history, emails, or text messages, it can review publicly available information about you. This can include anything you've ever posted to social media, an online forum, or other places on the Internet that can be traced back to you.

Is there any proof of remote viewing?

No, there is no conclusive scientific proof of remote viewing, and it's generally considered a pseudoscience, despite decades of parapsychological research, including government-funded studies, that produced some statistically significant (though often contested) results. While some researchers claim evidence of "non-local perception," these findings haven't been reliably reproduced under strict, blinded conditions, and potential methodological flaws, vague descriptions, and the lack of consistent success in intelligence applications lead most scientists to remain skeptical, with research largely discontinued by agencies like the CIA.

Yes, the CIA has the technical capability to access smartphones and other smart devices, as revealed by the 2017 WikiLeaks "Vault 7" leak detailing their hacking tools, but general population surveillance requires legal justification like warrants or national security concerns; they focus on specific targets, not mass monitoring of everyday citizens, though Section 702 of FISA allows broader data collection on international communications.

What is the trick question police ask?

Cops ask trick questions like "Do you know why I pulled you over?" or "Have you been drinking?" to get you to admit guilt or create probable cause for further action (like a DUI or search) by getting you to offer explanations or confirm wrongdoing, often through leading questions that make any "yes" or "no" answer problematic, prompting you to politely state you'd rather not answer and ask for a lawyer. Key strategies involve using leading questions, making you feel comfortable (small talk), or pretending to be an ally to lower defenses. 

Can you tell if your cell phone is being monitored?

You can tell if your phone is being monitored by watching for signs like unusual sounds (clicks, echoes) during calls, rapid battery drain, unexplained data usage, strange texts with gibberish, apps running when not in use, and the camera/mic indicators activating unexpectedly, though it's hard to be certain as advanced spyware is subtle. Look for multiple signs together (e.g., overheating + slow performance + battery drain) as isolated incidents can have other causes, and take action like updating software or factory resetting if you suspect something is amiss. 

How do I know if I'm being watched by the government?

Signs of potential government surveillance include unexplained digital issues (strange app behavior, high data use), increased surveillance around your home/work (vans, people watching), unusual contacts (FBI/agents asking questions, friends acting weird), financial account problems (freezes, inquiries), and mail/phone call irregularities (noises, delays), but often, digital spying is subtle and happens via accepted privacy policies, so you might not know. 

How to keep the government out of your phone?

For real protection you need full-disk encryption

If you'd rather that the police not be able to gain access to your device this way (and are comfortable with the risk of losing your data if you are locked out of your phone), I recommend not using a pattern-based screen lock, and instead using a PIN or password.

What is a spook in the CIA?

In CIA/intelligence jargon, a "spook" is slang for a secret agent or intelligence officer, deriving from the idea that they operate like ghosts or phantoms—invisibly, in shadows, or without a trace—to gather intelligence through clandestine operations, with "spooks" being CIA employees and "agents" being foreign assets they recruit. While it's insider/journalistic slang, it refers to those in deep cover or covert roles, though the term also carries historical connotations as a racial slur for Black people, which complicates its usage, notes a 2017 NPR article. 

What disqualifies from CIA?

CIA disqualifiers center on issues of honesty, loyalty, and personal conduct, with major red flags including lack of candor, drug use (especially recent marijuana), criminal history, financial irresponsibility, foreign allegiance, and failure to follow instructions, all leading to potential security clearance denial. The agency values integrity, so lying, withholding information, or showing divided loyalty to the U.S. are serious issues.

What does remote viewing look like?

Remote viewing looks like receiving vague, fragmented impressions—lines, shapes, colors, feelings, sounds—in your mind, often appearing dimly on a mental "screen" or as flashes, rather than clear, open-eyed vision, requiring focus to interpret these subconscious signals about a distant target, described as sketches that quickly appear and disappear, demanding conscious effort to recall and clarify. It's less like watching a movie and more like piecing together abstract data, feeling like intuitive knowing rather than literal sight. 

Why did the CIA stop remote viewing?

The CIA commissioned a report by the American Institutes for Research (AIR) that found that remote viewing had not been proved to work by a psychic mechanism, and said it had not been used operationally. The CIA subsequently cancelled and declassified the program.

Do psychic abilities really exist?

No, there's no scientific proof that psychic abilities like telepathy or psychokinesis are real; controlled studies consistently fail to validate these claims, attributing supposed psychic phenomena to cognitive biases, trickery (like cold reading), or self-deception, although some researchers in parapsychology continue to investigate weak, erratic "psi effects". While many people believe in psychics and experiences feel real (like strong intuition or "gut feelings"), these experiences lack empirical evidence under scientific scrutiny, with the scientific consensus labeling psychic phenomena as pseudoscience.
