The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 59
Intelligence
While superior US weapons systems enable it to dominate the air, sea and land, these
weapons systems are of little value without the knowledge of where, when and how to best
deploy them. These decisions are made through strategic planning and strategic planning is based
on intelligence. Intelligence consists of all information regarding possible threats to the US both
foreign and domestic. This includes the gathering of an exhausting and almost limitless amount
of information on foreign nations some of the most important of which includes: military
personnel—numbers within foreign militaries, their training and capabilities, the location of all
their bases of operation and all troop movements; weapons systems—capabilities, inventories,
storage facilities design facilities and manufacturing facilities; communications monitoring—all
civilian, business, governmental, and military communications; mapping—physical features,
roads, and buildings including: important manufacturing, governmental, and military buildings;
foreign military strategy and plans. Foreign intelligence is a very important defense tool and
America has the best intelligence in the world.
There are a great many American intelligence agencies with different directives.
Departmental agencies each have limited scopes of operation; these departments include: the
Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, Department of Energy, Department of
the Treasury and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The Department of Defense (DoD)
oversees at least ten intelligence agencies whose scopes of operation vary from being narrowly
defined to being broad and ill-defined; these agencies include: the National Reconnaissance
Office (NRO), National Imagery and Mapping Agency, National Geospacial-Intelligence
Agency, National Security Agency (NSA), Marine Corps Intelligence, Office of Naval
Intelligence, US Army Intelligence and Security Command, Air Intelligence Agency, Coastguard
Intelligence and the Defense Intelligence Agency. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is an
independent agency.

The most powerful of these agencies are the NRO, NSA and CIA.
The National Reconnaissance Office
The National Reconnaissance Office develops and operates reconnaissance satellites
although the exact number, function, and capability of these satellites is classified. The budget is
believed to be in excess of $7 billion annually.

Russian General Oleg Gromov says that Russia
has only three satellites orbiting over the US but that the US has 12 or 13 orbiting over Russia.
He further stated, “58 Russian military satellites are currently in orbit but only cover a third of
the Earth's surface, while the United States has a satellite system that allows monitoring all over
the world.”
91
The US doesn't just have reconnaissance satellites that cover the entire earth, it has
several different types; these include:
·
KH-12—A high-resolution photographic reconnaissance satellite.
·
INDIGO/LACROSSE/VEGA—A classified radar imaging series of satellites capable of
seeing through clouds, fog and other weather preventing visual observation. The images are
high-resolution and believed “to rival those of photo reconnaissance satellites.”
·
MERCURY/INTRUDER/PROWLER—These satellites are designed to intercept electronic
signals including: T.V. and radio broadcasts, all electronic communications, radar, telemetry
and other forms of electronic signals.
