Submitted by YOUR NEW REALITY

Yes, and you were a stone-cold paranoid nutbag in the 1990s if you believed ‘black helicopters’ were tracking people and vehicles across states. Soon, you won’t even see the surveillance craft, as it soaks up data from your physical shape, gait and shadow, from miles above, and determines if you are engaged in suspicious behaviour.

When necessary, the unblinking 24 hour surveillance may also be able to take body heat readings, to determine, perhaps, if you’re ‘hot’ enough with pandemic flu virus to be….de-registered.

What is tested in the (war) Zone, will be deployed in the Homeland :

Real-time streaming video of Iraqi and Afghan battle areas taken from thousands of feet in the air can follow actions of people on the ground as they dig, shake hands, exchange objects and kiss each other goodbye.

The video is sent from unmanned and manned aircraft to intelligence analysts at ground stations in the United States and abroad. They watch video in real time of people getting in and out of cars, loading trunks, dropping things or picking them up. They can even see vehicles accelerate, slow down, move together or make U-turns.

“The dynamics of an urban insurgency have resulted in a rapid increase in the number of activities visible in the video field of view,” according to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

“The U.S. military and intelligence communities have an ever increasing need to monitor live video feeds and search large volumes of archived video data for activities of interest due to the rapid growth in development and fielding of motion video systems,” according to the DARPA paper, which was written in March but released last month.”Now with new full-motion video intelligence techniques, we are looking at people and their behavior in public…”

The resolution capability of the video systems ranges from four inches to a foot…

The video itself is also shaped by the angle to the ground from which it is shot, although there are 3-D capabilities that allow viewers on the ground to manipulate videos of objects so they can see them from different vantage points.
