Report: FBI Needs to Hunt “Space-System Intruders” Better
I’m reading through the report released yesterday that basically says FBI needs to do more spying and analysis.
On top of some observations on the substance of the report (to come), I think it was poorly edited, with some fairly humorous results.
Which is what I attribute the mention of “space-system intruders” in the following passage to:
The Review Commission recognizes that national security threats to the United States have multiplied, and become increasingly complex and more globally dispersed in the past decade. Hostile states and transnational networks—including cyber hackers and organized syndicates, space-system intruders, WMD proliferators, narcotics and human traffickers, and other organized criminals—are operating against American interests across national borders, and within the United States. [my emphasis]
I have no clue what FBI actually meant by this transnational threat, the “space-system intruder.” Maybe we really are, still, fighting UFOs, only this time launched by al Qaeda? Maybe we’re having a fight over the satellite-sphere, and not just with other nation-states? Maybe this is just an awkward phrase for territorial insurgents?
Whatever it is, I hope this incautious mention elicits some good conspiracy sci-fi.
Update: Charlie Savage tweets that it is “threat of hacking satellites with systemic consequences (GPS, communications).”
I’m far more interested in the reference to “other organized criminals.” Perchance HSBC, Citi, or House of Dimon? Or is this a reference to individuals who never lose their house keys, an intent to leavie disorganized slobs alone?
Well, they killed Spock, you know, and that’s a hard thing to do. So that’s some baaad people right there.

My guess is hacking US satellite systems.
Space Systems/Loral is a well known sat manufacturer.
Come on, is it not obvious? The Bureau is all in on addressing the scandalously ignored national security issue related to storage pods.
Pods? As in Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers? Wow.
Isn’t there supposed to be a revival of The X-Files in the works?
C’mon peeps. Let’s look lively here! Clearly you have forgotten the salient factoid that our 1% Overlords are actually the dreaded reptilian shapeshifters masquerading as “humans.” They are concerned about other alien shapeshifters coming here to take them over & get their grubby claws on all of planet earth’s loot. Get with the program! The Feebs have for once revealed the true nature of what’s what and who’s who and so forth.
I thought they were from the mirror universe. They’re certainly doing their best to turn this one into that kind of dystopian universe.
The truth is out there, Charlie Savage notwithstanding.
