You are entering the ‘Remote Sensing and Space Twilight Zone’

An Agricultural Census Statistician once boldly, and with much enthusiasm, told a NoNAIS’er back in 2005 that in order to track down every single ‘farmer’  in America that the government was utilizing aerial methods.  While the statistician did not go into more detail regarding the ‘aerial surveillance’ it certainly did not take a rocket scientist to figure out that with all the satellites, planes, and drones in the sky, surveillance of this type was a common, every-day occurrence.

The WSDA promptly proclaimed “Not true!”,  “We do not have satellites!”   While semantically that was true, they do “not have satellite’s”, they do use information collected from satellites within their Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) and their USDA mother-ship.

Space Imagery and Remote Sensing Becomes Legal Evidence & Taxable!

Looking for work?  There is a booming business in Remote Sensing and Space law currently.  Just a little blip from the Space-Based Law Initiative:

“Addressing the growing need for objective and timely space and aviation law in areas that include: deployment and operation of satellites, commercial infrastructure [that includes agriculture], data policies, intellectual property; privacy, liability, international law, use of imagery as legal evidence, environmental issues, and licensing.”  [emphasis mine]

Just click this link and in the search area type: agriculture.  What you will discover is the long-time plan to tax all carbon, and everything else that can possibly be imaged on your farm, straight into the pockets of banksters and whoever else shares the farming ‘pot of gold’.

10 Minute Citizen: What can I say?  Anyone got ideas on how to fight this one?

From the trenches……
