These criminals put surveillance equipment in public and private places and pour the data through their own Tor-like network that they've constructed. Obviously, they are using the internet and the internet wasn't designed for privacy. On another note, the FBI uses a closed system that DOES NOT connect to the internet. I don't know what to call this large group of people that monitor me like a hawk... Stans???? Like, from Eminem?? Anyway, The FBI can monitor me all they want, but it's not me who is the enemy. It is the people who signed NDA's (Stans) who know every little detail they can get their hands on. I am certainly the most investigated innocent person in history. I wish technology wasn't so advanced. I wish I could be Amish or something. But I do not work because the only way I can't be fired is if I create my own company and I'm CEO. If I work, this "cabal" (if you will), will try to take everything from me. If it weren't for social security, I'd have nothing.
