Default Losing Streak

I've been getting killed in poker lately, even at low stakes. Every time i get AK my opponant rivers a 3 outter, making 2 pair to my single pair. Every time i hit a set of jacks, my opponant rivers a set of queens. Every time i get a hand like KK my opponant has AA. None of my big draws will come in. I lose large pots with AK to J6 - he has a pair of jacks and my 12 outer doesn't work. It goes on and on. Do you have any suggestions as to how to handle this? I would think it would be almost impossible for this to be happening by chance, but who knows. Really, i think someone must be watching this and laughing at my frustration; it's really comical. I have to wonder if PokerStars is rigged.
Perhaps i should switch to a different poker site (or give poker up all-together). Any constructive suggestions - no taunts please.

I definitely think you are being targeted. When you talk to people, have you noticed that certain phrases keep cropping up in the conversation. For example, "the crux of it is," being said by people who say they don't know each other? But it just happens too often to be a coincidence. And the glue on stamps has had a weird taste for the past 29 days. This is related to poke because these people are the ones who program Poker Stars. I would try to play on a friends account. It's just hard to figure out who to trust, since obviously your friends have been infiltrated too.
