DHS Looks for Feedback on Potentially Massive Surveillance Project…on U.S. Soil

According to Wired, the Department of Homeland Security is looking into employing technology used in war zones for near-constant surveillance on American soil.
Wired explained that DHS is seeking industry feedback on what involves Wide Area Surveillance System, which can monitor four square miles for unprecedented lengths of time:
The Department of Homeland Security says it’s interested in a system that can see between five to 10 square kilometers — that’s between two and four square miles, roughly the size of Brooklyn, New York’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood — in its “persistent mode.” By “persistent,” it means the cameras should stare at the area in question for an unspecified number of hours to collect what the military likes to call “pattern of life” data — that is, what “normal” activity looks like for a given area. Persistence typically depends on how long the vehicle carrying the camera suite can stay aloft; DHS wants something that can fit into a manned P-3 Orion spy plane or a Predator drone — of which it has a couple. When not in “persistent mode,” the cameras ought to be able to see much, much further: “long linear areas, tens to hundreds of kilometers in extent, such as open, remote borders.”

The request for industry feedback from DHS states that it is looking into using such technology for Customs and Border Protection and the Coast Guard. But Wired takes issue with even this use:
Even if the wide-area surveillance DHS is after is just used at borders or airports, those are still places where Americans go about their business, under the presumption that they’re not living in a government panopticon.
Wired points out that citizens from Iraq and Afghanistan, where such technology has been used, weren’t protected under the Fourth Amendment rights, like those held by citizens of the United States.
The system DHS describes in its draft RFP states:
The surveillance system shall have an electro-optical capability for daylight missions but can have an infrared capability for day or night operations. The sensor shall integrate with an airborne platform for data gathering. The imagery data shall be displayed at a DHS operations center and have the capability for forensic analysis within 36 hours of the flight.
DHS states on its website that it is not requesting a proposal or capability statements; it is simply looking to “obtain industry feedback on the draft Wide Area Aerial Surveillance System RFP.”
On a similar note, last month, The Blaze reported that although military drones have held a strong presence abroad, a new study revealed that they were being used more and more by local law enforcement in the U.S.
Also related to increased drone use by local authorities, CBS 2 in New York reported that drones are being discussed to keep tabs on the Big Apple as well:
“We’re always looking at technology,” said NYPD Spokesman Paul Browne. “Drones aren’t that exotic anymore. Brookstone sells them. We’ve looked at them but haven’t tested or deployed any.”
Former NYPD officer Gary Weksler said drones make sense.
“Not only would it be a form of intelligence gathering to protect the public, it also in many respects removes the officers, who might be attempting to identify issues, from harm’s way,” Weksler said.
Although it’s not a done deal, CBS 2 reports that security experts expect drones will remain a discussion point as the city seeks to prevent terrorism.

Posted on January 24, 2012 at 8:15pmWell folks, the upcoming civil war is certainly going to be interesting. Have to see how much of the military decides to support our traitorous masters, but I would bet when the fat hits the fryer, a lot of them won’t. You will also have over 200 million people in this country who are armed and have been buying millions of rounds of ammo since our beloved Fuhrer took office. There is a cull coming in this world and in this country, and I just hope that all of us are ready for it. Somehow, I don’t think things are going to go as planned for the government.

Tactic #9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”
GB constantly fear mongers and claims Iran is a dire threat to the US and Israel. When comparing the military capacity of US to Iran. Iran is an anthill compared to a Mount Everest! Why can’t GB see that Saudi Arabia is 100x more of threat, to the US and Israel, than Iran could EVER dream of being.

GB claims that Paul would be dangerous as President and is an Extremist. Gb’s claimed that Paul wants Iran to have a nuke and would basically allow them to Destroy Israel while we idly set by. A complete terrifying threat that is contradictory to reality. Israel could detect a nuke missile being fired at them. ‘Star Wars’ program that Reagan created wasn’t just for our defense. I believe Israel has the same technology. They could shoot it down over Iranian territory. To think Israel isnt closely watching Iran via satellite and cant defend itself, is naive.

The Globalists have been attempting to gain control over america for over 300 years.
They finally did in 1933.
The Global Elite don’t hate America, they hate us pesky Americans that are opposing their One world Order and Occupying their land.
Lincoln declared a National Emergency and Martial Law. We have been ever since with the exception of a few brief years under Clinton.
This Patriot Act and NDAA is just a way to “Declare” it, although we have been “under” it.
When the Southern States Original Congressional Representatives did not return to congress after the civil war, congress was declared ‘Sine die’ or ‘Without day’ and was suspended.
The Banksters and their Politician Minions placed “representatives” in the
empty seats and continued operations without the people’s knowledge of this.
Now the Banksters had even more influence in American Politics.
In 1912 the U.S. was broke and turned to the Banksters. They Banksters created a Bank called the ‘Federal Reserve’ to be the Nation’s Bank.
In 1913 the Federal reserve act was passed. This was a loan.
In 1933 we defaulted and declared bankrupty.
The “Government” pledged our LAND, GOV’T and PEOPLE as collateral to the PRIVATE BANK !!!!
Social Security became law in 1936.This is a Interest bearing Bond for the Receivers of the Bankruptcy.
The UN now holds the Lien on America.

Posted on January 24, 2012 at 6:32pmIt was announced months ago that the military is planning and training for domestic operations if and when the financial system collapses. Rioting is expected and martial law will be invoked. Some believe that a massive transfer of U.S. citizens to FEMA camps will be ordered for ‘our protection’. Could the feds be using these drones to collect logistical data in order to facilitate this transfer? I know, sounds crazy, but the first half is true, so why not the last half.

Posted on February 7, 2012 at 11:55amYeah, because military training to fight in an urban environment has only to do with Obama declaring martial law on the US, right?
Hmm, more than 10 years back we also trained for urban warfare. I guess my country is going to take over the US after Obama declares martial law? Must be the reason.
Oh never mind that urban warfare is an important part of military operations. Completely ignore that. Just listen to the voices in your head, they’re right, the world is wrong.

Posted on January 24, 2012 at 5:02pmSo true! Obama just fulfilling and flaunting another one of his promises. I am starting to think we may not have to worry about voting in this election.
