Budget Issues Force Spy Satellites Into The Open
Korsair25 points out this article about a U.S. spy satellite program. "Quote: 'Over the decades, spying from space has always earned super-secret status. They are the black projects, fulfilling dark tasks and often bankrolled by blank check.' It also talks about some of the technology used to disguise or camouflage some of the operational satellites."
I click "read more" and up pops.
Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.
I for one welcome my old NSA overlords.
So close and yet so far from the world's perfect ID number
I've been wearing my tinfoil hat all these years, it's finally paid off!
The all-seeing eye controls a lot of these satellites. They're used for missions such as the illuminati's plot to blow up Houston, TX on December 27 (which was aborted due to the tsunami/earthquake overshadowing any media circus this would have attracted) in order to justify invading Iran.

At least, that's what my friendly local conspiracy nut tells me, so it must be true.

You're doing it wrong.
Do NOT talk about Spy Satellites!
As we see in the movie "Spies Like Us" (Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd), all spy satellites have a little sign on them that says
"This is not a spy satellite"
Easy.
"And then I visited Wikipedia
I mean like didnt yall see Enemy of the State ?
Spy satelites are most usefull chasing guys around whos kids toys get swapped at the store for some digital movie of a top level spook killing a senator, happens all the time
and they of course can see right through wall and stuff.
After reading your post, I'm struck by two things:
a) You are relatively well-read.
b) Your spelling and grammar make me want to claw out my fucking eyes.
No offense.
But the moon is actually a giant spy sattelite. There was no actual moon before 1954.
Everything is accounted for. But when it comes to National Security you have to look in different places or under vague terms like "General Defense Expenses" or "Golden toilets x 20".

Now that the top secret data from these spy sattelites is being released, other crucial details of the US Government black-ops orbital-projects are being revealed.
Apparently most of the governments secret high-optical resolution sattelites were curiously locked in geo-synchronous orbits above St. Tropez, Copacabana and other great beaches of the world.
It was also revealed that image data from these locations while still 'classified and unreleased' was stored in a black-ops folder mysteriously titled "My Cleave Shotz". No further information is currently available.

I used to be a spy and to launder the money I got paid in golden toilets. I'm running low on cash, so check e-bay in a few days if you want one at a good price.
They offered to pay me in golden showers but I refused. No way I was gonna fall for that again.

see parent post's sig. nuff said.
"Who Wants to Flip Off the Government" I'm your host, Porter J. Goss. This week, contestants try to flip off the government's spy satellites while a team of CIA agents hunts them down and arrests them for seditious behavior.
And they didn't predict the tsunami either... what's your point other than being a professional cynic... oh no, they didn't cure cancer either...
How do you know that that 6-ton communications satellite is just a communications satellite?
Reporter: "I would like to ask you some questions about this satellite from your firm we photographed from a Spaceship 2 tourist flight. What is this meter-wide telescopic lens?"
Technician: "Why that's not a meter-wide telescopic lens, thats a....um.....uh....new kind of......solar panel! Yeah, it focuses light like a magnifier burning an ant so that we make one small strong cell instead of many weaker ones."
Reporter: "But why is it not pointed at the sun?"
Technician: "Uh, because....it....would melt the solar cell if we pointed it directly at the sun, so we point it at Earth instead."
Reporter: "Wouldn't you get more total power by having regular panels pointed at the sun?"
Technician: "Well, it's a um, an experimental model. What are you, a rocket scientist? This interview is over!"
Table-ized A.I.
agreed, Fg = G*m*M/r^2, so that 6 ton on the surface would be like....... 5.9 ton up in orbit, my god, those sneeky bastards, creating satelites that can change their weight. The government has more power than I have previously though.
This sig is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.
