They know who you are, they know where you live
It took the NSA almost 3 years to figure out where my brother and I both moved to, both of us disappeared and neither of us lived at any address that was ever listed or known to anyone. Not until we came up did they find Both of us, actually pretty quickly, they were here inside of 3 months, my brothers too!!!
NO I can’t tell you why.
If you shopped at the same department store more that 4 times in that stretch THEY knew. Stores are much more motivated that the NSA, they need to stay in business, the NSA are just government toads. Really, read the chapter. They track people who only use cash, track them well enough that they can figure out within weeks when a woman becomes pregnant because of the changes in purchasing habits. They’ve been doing it for over a decade. There is NO privacy in this world.
