The system was developed by the ESA in cooperation with other countries and it's a GPS system like others already functioning, maybe more precise.

The rest are just conspiracies theories.

Here is a quote from the link posted by Makkara


The EU doesn't have any governments, it is controlled by an unelected body that reports to the deep state, ie, the Bilderberg group.

I hope they are going to repay the money we spent helping to set up the system when we escape from their corrupt regime.

I knew the EU was doomed when they brought out that flag displaying a load of stars running round in a circle.

I must behave. This thread is turning into a political "discussion".

Germany inceased it's economy by avoiding any military expenditure, but relied on the US, the UK and the UN. It created the EU to strip assets from members countries like Greece and the UK, and pass many of the proceeds on to the deep state through the banking system. The Euro was created to avoid the revaluation of the German currency, and to maintain an unfair export advantage by exploiting the weaker currencies of the southern countries. Now that it is obvious that the EU is doomed, it is having some last ditch attempts to syphon money from member countries - for example, the sale of UK military airports will be at under valued prices, and I'm sure most of the proceeds will find their way into the bankrupt banking system. The EU is attempting to create it's own army, and the satellite system will obviously be a part of this. The only reason that the EU needs an army is to try to suppress the rise of populism and anti deep state sentiment in its member countries.

No, there are probably none. The EU is simply worse than many others (and a step in the direction of centralised power, which is in principle anti-democratic).

Right, but how much coverage can really be achieved with 26 satellites worldwide, even if you consider that EU/USA/Russia could pool their resources with such cameras. Even then, one word: clouds


I hope the threat of this sort of totalitarian control might get some of the more state-system apologists to finally wake up: what's the big plan, just pray like crazy that no electorate ever votes in a crazy dictator? Good luck with that, all government is always somewhere on the tyrannical scale. Blind faith that the next compromise "won't be too bad" is what slowly grinds a society into the situation where crazy dictators can take advantage of a desperate situation. If you think history can't possibly repeat this way, you deserve everything that happens to you

What can you say? It's current technology, and if they don't have their own system, while the US does have it's own system, then they will be at a sort of disadvantage.

Such surveillance is part of the current world we live in, and nothing is going to stop it. Should they US not send up satellites that can monitor the whole world because for some it might be "morally" wrong? (as opposed to actually wrong).

Nations just have to adjust to the new reality.
