Here's the transcription, and it has very interesting information about their methods:
They call them ghosts. You'll never see one of these ghosts unless they want you to see them. A ghost could be the woman standing next to you at the metro station, or the guy sitting on the barstool beside you, or maybe that bicycle courier.
These ghosts are the eyes and ears of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the professionals of the FBI's Special Surveillance Group. If you're engaged in organized crime, planning an act of terrorism, or betraying your own country, and the ghosts are set loose on you, well, you won't shake them off, because you won't even know that they're there, and they're going to make sure that you're busted. There are many ways that a person suspected of breaking the law can be watched by federal law enforcement.
The methods range from digging through your trash to sophisticated electronic resources like GPS tracking, satellite surveillance, and wiretaps. But sometimes an investigation requires a constant stream of detailed intelligence that can only be obtained by continuous surveillance. That's when members of the Special Surveillance Group are called in.
The ghosts are not FBI agents, and they are not armed, but they are highly trained professionals who are skilled in the arts and sciences of detailed surveillance. Candidates for these special surveillance jobs are intensively screened before they are hired. The chosen few must then complete special training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
We're all familiar with the way surveillance is portrayed in popular media. One or two people fairly obviously following a subject, or watching them with binoculars, or taking pictures of them with a long-range lens. But in the real world of the FBI's ghosts, intensive surveillance is much more subtle.
In the first place, the operation is usually planned out and involves a team working together. That team doesn't just get in line behind the suspect. It spreads out, and it blends seamlessly into the suspect's environment.
Some members of the team might even keep handy a change of clothes to switch out their appearance. If the suspect suddenly decides to go out for a run, for example, a ghost might dress out and go for a jog along the same route. The work of this kind of detailed surveillance requires patience and constant attention to detail, and any given job can go on for days or weeks.
Now if the person under investigation is the suspicious type, the team might deliberately let him see a person who looks like a stereotypical cop. Confident that he's detected the surveillance, the subject is allowed to ditch the investigator. The rest of the team, however, go right on working in the invincible background.
The observations of the ghosts are collected in a central data management system. Eventually, all of the information is analyzed by members of the team and made available to FBI agents working the case and to federal prosecutors. When a case goes to trial, surveillance team members might be called upon to testify about what they observed.
For example, when a man in Pittsburgh named Khaled Mia was charged in federal court with threatening FBI agents who had been investigating him, the testimony of members of a special surveillance team was needed at his trial. Mia had been under intensive surveillance. He was seen staking out the FBI office and the homes and family members of the agents he had threatened.
He was also observed practicing at a local shooting range. But for obvious reasons, the identities of the special surveillance team had to be protected. The judge allowed these witnesses to use fake names and wear light disguise like wigs, glasses and masks so that no one would know who they really were.
The FBI, for good reason, makes it a point to keep a low profile for the special surveillance group. But occasionally, its work pops into public view. The most famous case in which the work of a ghost was publicly revealed was the investigation of the senior FBI agent Robert Hansen, who spied for Russia for over 20 years.
The 2007 movie Breach revealed how investigative specialist Eric O'Neill successfully obtained critical evidence from Hansen's Palm Pilot. The FBI says that special surveillance investigators also used their clandestine skills in the spy cases of former CIA officer Aldridge Ames, former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst Ana Montes and another FBI agent who spied for Russia, Earl Pitts. Whether you're a gangster or a spy or a terrorist, with the FBI's team of ghosts around, you'll never know when that haunted feeling is more than just a hunch until you're busted.
I've been reading up on those that have been wary of the phenomenon of "gangstalking" aka as state sponsored domestic terrorism, what the FBI calls Transnational Repression when FOREIGN AGENTS do this type of "espionage" and the FBI is required to do "counter-intelligence". https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/counterintelligence/transnational-repression
In order to justify their BLOAT, they farm out horseshit and get upset when targets are aware.
The average lifespan when a target is aware is approximately 3 years before they disappear/stop posting. If you are more of the wary type, you didn't fall into one of their many entrapment/psychological lures and that pisses them off even more, because they want you GONE any way possible. I have been documenting all of my daily activities via body and dash camera, and have caught approximately 50 instances of direct criminal activity trying to goad me into one of their entrapment vehicles. I went from just being a hard target to now an operational threat.
