But do they have real time data base analysis ? Can they do a constant real time search for a specific voice pattern ? And then instantly tap into the identified voice conversation ?

The quantum computer is something that bears watching. It can perform huge parallel searches and could bring a goodly slice of real time conversations within its mechanical ken. What exists now, probably too cumbersome and clumsy to watch anything close to what they would like to watch.

FYI, there’s one “local scary place” that, if I speak about it to anybody on the phone, the phone either goes totally crazy and fills with static or disconnects, without fail.

I kid you not.

SEE?!?!

They’re omnipotent!

Sorry I don't buy what he is saying.
The processing and manpower to spy on every individual conversation aka 1984 style is beyond the realm of even NSA.
Now if someone used the country dialing codes and called the tribal areas of Pakistan or certain hot terrorist areas in Afghanistan, Yemen or Kashmir or other known terrorist havens. Then yes the dialing codes and the exchanges might attract attention. I guarantee that if one sent a international mail, telegram, teletype or was able to make an international phone to Germany, Italy, Japan or even the minor Axis powers during WWII you would also have attracted USG attention. Likewise during the height of the Cold War phone calls or any communication to the USSR, China, or Warsaw Pact areas would have also drawn attention. Thoose were adjudicated by the federal courts as legitimate federal “snooping”.
If you “case” a bank to rob and do it in a clumsy manner that says “I am casing a bank” you will get some questions.

In summary I think there is much much more to this guy's story then meets the eye. Just because his story appeals to those that have a conspiratorial frame of mind doesn't make it true! There are clearly some missing elements of the narrative.

how about 30 plus yrs ago, they had computing capacity and manpower to key in on telephone reference to an individual name, and immediately act on the conversation with a 'callback' to the parties to question them about said individual...???

fast forward to 21st century tech and armies of puter geeks...

ps, the fed trolls can bite me...
