No way they have stopped it. They have been amping up the spying through the so called smart technology. Smart locks, smart thermostats, internet based home security systems. Onstar for vehicles (thats probably outdated now and newer improved spy crap for vehicles). Echo and etc etc.

I am guessing that within 15 years at the current pace there will be no place within cities one is not completely monitored and recorded.

I would also point out to those who believe their crypto holdings are anonymous what you mentioned about

You could read anyone's email in the world, anybody you've got an email address for. Any website: You can watch traffic to and from it. Any computer that an individual sits at: You can watch it. Any laptop that you're tracking: you can follow it as it moves from place to place throughout the world. It's a one-stop-shop for access to the NSA's information.

You can tag individuals ... Let's say you work at a major German corporation and I want access to that network, I can track your username on a website on a form somewhere, I can track your real name, I can track associations with your friends and I can build what's called a fingerprint, which is network activity unique to you, which means anywhere you go in the world, anywhere you try to sort of hide your online presence, your identity.

Amazon and other companies have somewhat shown their hands for years now at being able to identify computers despite masking tech such as VPN.

The other day i was reading about people doing something called Bitcoin washing to try and confuse the tracking taking place. The problem I see with that is they have all these transactions going to one wallet to wash from several others, some of which may actually be involved in some shady shit. Then they record and follow all these wallets the so called washed Bitcoin flows out to. I would also assume given the governments police/spy machines penchant for setting traps that some of these washing systems are being ran by the very people the washing is supposed to keep from knowing, lol.

The "Mark of the Beast" is here and its slowly been closing in on all of us.
