I'm about as low profile as you are going to get. I live off the grid as much as I can.
You probable talk on the phone more in a week than I do in a year.
Very few e mails.
I post here.
I was under surveillance in the 1980’s so they know who I am, and no it wasn't anything I did illegal. I was in the process of exposing corruption in the Corpus Christi police dept and the FBI covering up the corruption.
Phone tapped, mail intercepted and opened, followed, they even went to far as to move into the apartment above me and drilled through their floor, my ceiling, and had what looked like mono fishing line sticking through so they could watch my every move.
Been there done that. This wasn't just some accident.
About 1950 ( I was too young to know the date) my grandfather was accused of being a communist by the heads of the CIO. He had been elected the first president of the electrical workers and machinists at RCA and the powers that existed at the time were extremely unhappy with his election. The main problem seems to have been over the racist hiring policies of the unions. My grandfather was not a racist and the Electrical workers and Machinists were considered the most racist union in the country. In 1949, they tried to kill him by running him down as he stood on the curb in front of his house. RCA responded by closing the plant and the people of Camden County responded by electing my grandfather to the State Assembly. He only served one term because the CIO accused him of being a communist and reported him to the HUAC. The FBI followed him the rest of his life, opened all his mail and talked to everyone who knew him, including at his church where he was a deacon. (communists were not permitted to attend church, let alone be deacons). My mother lived the rest of her life in fear of the government.
