DHS Domestic Spy Satellite Operation
DHS finalizing plans for domestic spy satellite program
Congress has not been updated since civil liberties concerns delayed satellite spying
A plan to dramatically widen US law enforcement agencies’ access to data from powerful spy satellites is moving toward implementation, as Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff expects to finalize a charter for the program this week, according to a new report.
Chertoff insists the scheme to turn spy satellites — that were originally designed for foreign surveillance — on Americans is legal, although a House committee that would approve the program has not been updated on the program for three months.
“We still haven’t seen the legal framework we requested or the standard operation procedures on how the NAO will actually be run,” House Homeland Security Chairman Bennie G. Thompson tells the Wall Street Journal. Thompson was referring to the National Applications Office — a new DHS subset that would coordinate access to spy-satellite data for non-military domestic agencies, including law enforcement.
Civil liberties concerns delayed the program after lawmakers and outside activists wondered how the program would be structured to protect Americans from unconstitutional surveillance from the powerful satellites, which can see through cloud cover, trees and even concrete buildings.
The program’s charter remains unfinalized, but Chertoff said it will use clear language to explain legal restrictions on the data’s use. Warrants will be obtained when required before collecting satellite intelligence, and the program won’t use technology to intercept verbal communications, according to the Journal.
“One lesson I’ve learned is it’s not enough to say we know what we’re doing is going to be OK,” Chertoff told the paper in an interview. “We’ve got to really make it clear to the public that we’re doing this, but we’re not doing that.”

@ Gary Algar. Hi GAry, I am doing a debate about DHS, and i would like to learn more information about you experience and the other people who have been used in this experiment.
The post by Gary Algar is very familiar to me because the same thing is happening to me. I have not been suicidal but I can attest to his descriptions of the mind reading, dream viewing and manipulation. The person doing this can see, hear and “think” everything I think, I also believe he can feel what I feel, as in if I pinch myself, the sensation is relayed back to him and he can feel it too. There is more than that. I think the person can also feel, or know, the emotions that I feel such as fear pleasure etc. This person can also “project” feelings to me, such as fear. This can go on for as long as he likes, days and weeks. It doesn’t matter where I go, I can be in a car or in a building or in another city, it is all the same. I also receive “click” noises within my neck/ear/head area each time I swallow, this is mainly how he communicates. This has been going on for almost two years. I basically know who the person is that is doing this from a chat service, but it is unprovable. One horrible part of this is that if you try to tell anyone what is happening to you, they will not believe you, even your family. After I told my parents (they did no believe what I said it was) they wanted me to see a psychologist who started to give me medicine for mental illness, obviously that did no good and I had to lie that the stuff had stopped so I could stop seeing the doc and stop the medicine. It’s a lonely life and I don’t know how this will end. Each night the person will agitate me on my genitals and butt, not painful, but very very annoying when trying to go to sleep. This also happens throughout the day after I insult him or for other reasons. After I fall asleep he will some how tune into my subconscious self and have a “conversation” with me, probably without words, only thoughts – I also think he uses the “touching” sensation during this time for his own pleasure. I usually know it has happened once I wake up and feel like I have been “crying”, my breath is shaky and that is how I know.
I was put through months of what was described before. I’m actually kind of scared since they still have the DHS on me, yet, no phys. ops. I’m actually kind of scared to post this. What the hell, my life can’t get any worse right? They started out doing it without me knowing. I can trace back the time do to my nasal congestion. It’s unlike any stopped up nose that you’ve ever felt. You can still breath barely(I’ve had it for about 3 months now) After they started being “active” they had both my satellite t.v. and radio say and do whatever it wants. Pretty freaky, but, that was just the beginning. They drugged me, put me in a mental institution where the doctors convinced my family I had a phycotic breakdown? In the facility they gave me some type of truth serom and made up “challenges.” I finally was let go and have been on medicine which I do not need ever since. By the way, not only can they read you mind in every which way, but they can also see and hear you anywere.
