Mass surveillance is at an all time high.
Following the September 11th attacks of 2001, domestic and international mass surveillance capabilities escalated far beyond the levels permitted by the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Based upon annual presidential executive orders declaring a continued State of National Emergency, first signed by George W. Bush on September 14, 2001 and then continued on an annual basis by President Barack Obama and upon several subsequent national security Acts including the USA PATRIOT Act, the PRECISE Act, and FISA Amendment Act's PRISM surveillance program, critics and political dissenters currently describe the effects of these acts, orders, and resulting database network of Fusion centers as forming a veritable American police state.
Even the CIA has the technology to remotely turn on your Smart TV and turn it into a listening device without showing any signs that the TV is on.

With all of the talk about regulating the internet and the rise of pseudo-fascist nationalism I.e Donald Trump, Theresa May Edrogen, Nicolás Maduro and their voters. I fear that the Internet could be regulated. What would that do to Crypto Currency?
Thats a conversation for another day, but if you’re like me and wish there was more to encryption and secrecy then TOR and a VPN than look no further. Its called Tails https://tails.boum.org/
Its an acronym for The Amnesiac Incognito Live System
Tails is a live operating system that you can start on almost any computer from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card.
It aims at preserving your privacy and anonymity, and helps you to:
• Use the Internet anonymously and circumvent censorship;
all connections to the Internet are forced to go through the Tor network;
• leave no trace on the computer you are using unless you ask it explicitly;
• use state-of-the-art cryptographic tools to encrypt your files, emails and instant messaging.
This is what the desk top looks like.
This is straight out of a sci-fi thriller!
The process for installation can be a bitch.
The method I used was for MAC OSX by utilizing the command line.
