There's been weird incidents like this where they're targeting my parents but not me.
Only weird thing I've noticed is I'm getting coddled at work and given undeserved opportunities and big breaks as of late and have impostor syndrome.
If this isn't just a bunch of coincidences and paranoia and there really is spook shenanigans, how do I convince them to back down and that they have no chance, that there's no third party with the power or knowledge to help them with this sort of thing? In this scenario my brother got snared and drugged and they won. His brain was too fried to give us actionable info and in this hypothetical situation five eyes knows exactly what my parents have done and are going to do whereas all my parents have are crumbs. They feel like it's their right to go up against the spooks but they're in a terrible position and not big ol brains by any means.
Like I could get a laptop with cash and remove the NSA backdoors and load up debian with a data dongle and start trying to be a hero (I don't know shit about netsec beyond basic knowledge) but they'd know and pre-empt because my brother put spotlights on us if this is true. There's no vantage point to get a drop on them.
I know it's "alpha" to go up against the spooks but this is unwinnable. How do I convince them to back down? They started getting extremely weird shit for refusing a settlement. Now they want to start sounding the alarm about a big conspiracy. That's getting into dangerous territory and it's going to rope me into it even though I've avoided involvement.

This can all be explained as coincidences right?
Brother was paranoid about his perversions and feared being blackmailed, developed psychosis and fear of being punished out of guilt and had a conspiracy theory he constructed.
Hospital was just shitty and negligent
Payout was generous because the hospital is on thin ice for several of these incidents and they're upping the price they put on a life to ensure it doesn't get into the press and they don't get scathing coroner's reports
The eyedrops my mom got make your eyes dilate and there was a big light above her and that combined with stress could have caused a panic attack and she got confused, told the nurses about her son's death and they were just being empathetic and she misremembered and they were giving anecdotes about friends and other family members
The counter-terror raid could have just been using my parents house as a random training location for urban counter-terrorism operations. The sloppiness of the armed team could be because they were green and starting training. I saw a video of a B-52 where they picked out a random house in the suburbs that they were using as an aimpoint to drop a nuke on the targeting pod. Not exactly the same but you get the picture.
The texts and stuff are two years old, their memories have faded with time and they're getting dates and events mixed up and it's just collective misunderstanding
There's other weird shit too but still I think it could just be paranoia and wanting a conspiracy instead of the mundane depressing truth?

It's obvious as fuck that your brother was legit onto something and got fucked over for it. Now the same thing is happening to your parents, and if they haven't got the brains to take the settlement money and play dumb until the heat dies down, then there's nothing more you can do for them.
The question now becomes how do you avoid going down on their sinking ship?
The answer is pretty simple. Do what your parents wouldn't - play dumb, if/when (it'll be when) someone in a position of authority starts asking you questions, tell them your brother was delusional, and your parents have become delusional due to their grief from losing him.
Distance yourself from them, play dumb when anyone starts poking around, and generally try to stay under the radar.
Do that for long enough, and you have a shot at convincing those in charge that going after you is a waste of effort, time and money, because you're so clearly no threat at all…
When you've been forgotten about, after the thing with your parents has run its course… You'll know what to do.
