Firstly, I'd like to say that I put this under the Conspiracies Forum because I may be delusional due to some "Conspiracy Paranoia Syndrome" (CPS).
Next, the back story.
I'm a politically creative thinker (generally a free thinker) and I am in the habit of voicing my opinion on most any subject. I would have to say that the idea that I personally could be under surveillance is not out of the question due to my connection to people who have what some might consider to be as extreme views. This is in addition to some of my own questionable comments in forums like this.
Here are some of my usual suspects I'm in contact with that might have me flagged.
My oldest brother was into the biker culture back in his earlier years and was/is very anti establishment. He lived back with the family when I was in high school at which time he did custom paint jobs on motorcycles and did business with a couple of area biker "clubs". He also sold "contraband" and engaged in other illegal activities. I know for certain that at one point he had a helicopter watching him, I gave the bastards the finger once while they hovered over the place he was living at.
He isn't that same bad ass today, and now in his old age he somehow got to know a number of high level locally politically connected people where he lives in Tennessee. He has no problem speaking his mind and his opinions of the government haven't changed over the years. I speak with him frequently on the phone and neither of us holds back on our thoughts when we discuss this shit on a daily basis.
My second oldest brother has some extreme political views as well and is pretty involved with the Mormon Church. He is ex military and works in cyber security, I believe on government contracts. He has sent me material that may be considered suspicious propaganda with some extreme viewpoints. I don't talk as much to him anymore, not because he is conspiracy minded, but because he isn't my favorite relative.
I have a close friend that lives a few miles away. He's a single guy that lives a different sort of transient lifestyle. We both share our opinions in regular phone conversations. He is close friends with a person that some may think has some pretty extreme views and associations. I won't elaborate on this friend of a friend acquaintance but he would fit the religious conservative militia type profile. I've had enough contact with this guy and my close friend to have a flag raised, even done some business with both.
I've had a number of questionable friends involved in some questionable movements since moving out here to my swamp. I could go on, but these guys are the most current connections that could raise a red flag.
Now, I've been having some noises and strange phone connections with the oldest brother and close friend. My close friend and his religious associate where texting each other a little while back, talking football and hunting, when a third party texted into their conversation, even commenting on the deer photograph they were sharing. I heard some pretty strange noises when conversing with the close friend, hard to rationalize away my paranoia on this one. After the latest incidence, I decided to do some research on phone surveillance and found some general warning signs to look for.
17 Signs That You Are Being Wiretapped
Surefire Signs Your Phone Is Bugged
A lot of these articles are about cell phone tapping. They list some common signs of wiretapping. My close friend has experienced a number of the signs listed on his cell phone which is his primary form of communication. Not sure about my oldest brother yet.
I just wanted to share this here and get some feedback on phone surveillance from Hernando's. I hope I'm just paranoid, but I think I'm not too much.
ETA: I sometimes post a thread on Hernando's and a similar one on TOS, I'm not going to this time - I don't trust them over there.

Do you hear strange noises on your phone line? Do you feel like your secrets aren't safe? You're not as paranoid as you might think.
If you think that your phone has become a victim of bugging, there are ways to determine whether you are right or not.
