Oh sure, the NSA, DOD and the rest of the government created the TOR
Network, but don’t have the Keys. Sure, and I have bridge for sale ...

TOR isn’t about keys, it’s about decentralization. Encrypted communications can be cracked with the right quantum computing mechanism. If you’re using >1024 bit encryption with highly complex passwords, no amount of government computing power could crack your encryption in a timely manner. If they REALLY wanted to dedicate processing cycles to decryption, they could crack it in a couple days, but even the best computing resources don’t have the chops to decrypt 2048-bit encryption with a >20 character private key in less than 30 days.
