               deals with telecom corporations for dual-use tech .
                   In  the  upper  atmosphere  and  space,  NGA-embedded  semiconductor  chips  and  billions  of
               photosensors are busy converting infrared radiation into electronics and sending a voltage signal
               to form images of objects to computer monitors hundreds of miles below. On the ground, the
               NGA’s  Mobile  Integrated  Geospatial-Intelligence  System  (MIGS)  mounted  on  a  Humvee
               collects information from weather disasters and street protests, then beams them up to satellites.
               If citizens move off the grid or out of range, an NGA Agent may arrive at the door with a census
               hand device to beam up the citizen’s new coordinates for the Digital Point Positioning Database
               that maintains real-time surveillance. Like its NSA partner, the NGA makes sure everyone is
               plugged into the global information grid (GIG)—“horizontally integrated,” even to the extent of
               responding  to  weather  emergencies  with  its  Domestic  Mobile  Integrated  Geospatial  System
               (DMIGS) mounted on a Humvee.
                   NGA’s eyes are focal plane array cameras, ultra-sensitive to absorb infrared radiation instead
               of  optical  light.  Semiconductor  chips  embedded  with  millions  of  photosensors  convert  the
               infrared  radiation  into  electronics  and  send  a  voltage  signal  to  form  an  image  of  the  object
               hundreds  of  miles  below.  The  NGA  oversees  the  versatile  laser  radar  (LiDAR)  weapon  for
               constructing  3D  renderings.  It  oversees  eye-in-the-sky  drones  with  high-res  cameras,  like
               ARGUS-IS  and  its  “persistent  stare”  feature,  the  equivalent  of  one  hundred  Predator  drones
               tracking everything that moves and storing one million terabytes of data per day.

               Listening  posts,  traffic  cameras,  surveillance  aircraft  like  the  U-2  Dragon  Lady,  telephone
               microphones,  and  satellite  linkups  with  state  of  the  art  software  like  British  subsidiary  BAE
               Systems’  GXP  3D  mapping  and  GOSHAWK  big  picture  scrutiny  are  on  constant  real-time
               paranoia alert for snipers, weather disasters, forest fires, snapping Homeland photos to postage-
               stamp  clarity  with  MASINT  (measures  and  signatures  intelligence)  seeing  through  walls  and
               ceilings with infrared.
                   Many  government  agencies  have  been  subsumed  by  a  criminal  network  of  graft,  fraud,
               blackmail,  corruption,  contractor  overcharges,  health  and  safety  violations.  Agencies  have
               become  as  “dual  use”  as  the  technologies  they  cover  for  during  our  quiet  descent  into  a
               Transhumanist future on a lockdown planet. This illegal dual-use governance apparatchik is now
               termed  the  Deep  State.  Technocracy,  corporatocracy,  military-industrial  complex—its  many
               terms attempt to elucidate its comprehensive nature. Layers of deceit and corruption surrounding
               weaponized technology have erased the balance of powers defined in the Constitution. Since the
               National Security Act of 1947, the aftermath of Operation Paperclip, and the secretive Cold War,
               governance  has  moved  from  the  chambers  of  elected  officials  to  the  back  rooms  and  star
               chambers of conspirers and malefactors with no love for republics, peoples or their humanity.
