It is possible that someone is playing a bad prank on Nadim, or that Nadim made the story up to gain attention. Please read on. If this is real, then I'm sorry

It is possible that someone is playing a bad prank on Nadim, or that Nadim made the story up to gain attention.
Please read on. If this is real, then I'm sorry and recommend you to consider all suggestions before deciding illogical.
DON'T COMMIT SUICIDE!
If you watched the movie "Enemy of the State", I'd become paranoid, but not afraid. Stay calm and act logical.
I've looked at cryptocat two days ago, what's special about it? I don't see any reason for the Government to observe you, except that you would be a good fit into their Cyberwar Team. And that you have the wrong connections in the internet. I mean your friends are all hackers. It makes you appear dangerous too. Anyway, the government observes everyone, but with different priority and detail. I think only you might know why they observe you. No need to share the info.
Just as in the Movie: I'd replace all clothes, shoes and hardware with new ones and move to a different place. Acquire encryption software from a trusted source or compile it myself on a newly obtained Netbook and encrypt the hardrive+swap with a password and keyfile. Hide the keyfile. Put your hardware and new phone into a cool faradaybag.com. Stay in public, but personally invincible. Leak everything that isn't harmful for you using delayed transmissions with ifttt.com. Always have multiple copies of important documents, just for the case it's necessary.
Oh and I'd get a weapon and buy a bulletproof jacket (not vest). Avoid any contact to officials should be priority.
Use Tor and VPNs like spotflux, hide.io, ovpn.to etc. and inform close friends to guard you.
+Trust no one.
- parasight 14y agoI don't think that buying a weapon and a bulletproof jacket is logical in his situation. Seems quite counterproductive to me when dealing with officials.
- X4 14y agoI think a bulletproof jacket is logical if his life is in danger. Yes, I agree on the weapon, every signal that can pull the trigger of an official's gun should be avoided. But I think not having a weapon maybe careless too, only he knows what's right in his situation. A stupid move when confronted with officials could cause him more harm than wearing a gun.
- astrodust 14y agoA weapon is just an excuse to get shot. Don't be armed. You can't fight an intelligence agency with guns.
- ameen 14y agoI'd assume "Trust no one" would include your very post? Movies are fiction, to base one's reactions & responses on it is silly. What he needs is legal & political help.
- X4 14y agoYou're right sir. I think he shouldn't trust anyone, but still consider the suggestions seriously. Legal help is surely his highest priority. Btw. almost if not all of the fiction described in that movie has become a real threat. Not taking them into consideration is silly.
