PART 3 : Immaculate Constellation : A Whistleblower Honors His Oath - Matthew Brown

I'm sure we are specifically collecting signals intelligence on this, but my, uh, research was, uh, not in those sort of data streams. That majority is accidental kind of capturing of... Exactly, from other countries, other militaries' activities related to this and their observations related to this. Or sometimes historic things that we acquire that happen to pop up in the SIGINT channels.

Yeah, so the reason there's less detail there, though, is we're using those every day, we rely on them a lot, and... They're very fragile, very sensitive, and diplomatically sensitive as well.

Yeah, NORTHCOM is a black hole. You need, I mean, just legislatively, there's legal things keeping us, the military and the IC, supposedly, from looking at the states. That's supposed to be a domestic law enforcement mission in general. You got to have a very good reason to be looking at, you know, over your neighbor's fence, basically.
