Ferguson Was Right Near a New Intelligence Agency Building!
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is the future of NatSec analysis. Throwing fake riots near its new building was very naughty.
St. Louis is the production hub for one of the most important intelligence agencies in the world - and it’s all thanks to Lewis and Clark.
The city at the confluence of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Meramec rivers has been a trading hub for many centuries, but its importance in the world of map-making dates back to the Louisiana Purchase. President Thomas Jefferson commissioned the Corps of Discovery in 1803 and dispatched Merriwether Lewis and William Clark to depart from St. Charles, MO up the Missouri River and on to the Pacific Ocean. It took a few years to do the round-trip on foot, but this historic expedition made St. Louis the eventual home of the U.S. Federal Government’s mapping activities.
One particularly famous Missourian, Charles Lindbergh, also made the city famous for aviation. (The story of St. Louis elites supporting Lindbergh’s exploits and their ties to China is quite interesting.) This tradition has been continued by Trans World Airlines, McDonnell-Douglas, and now Boeing, which produces the F/A-18 Super Hornet and some other top secret military aircraft yet to be revealed right here in The Lou. Airplanes naturally became the main source of “IMINT” - imagery intelligence - collected by spy planes. This is how St. Louis came to be the home of the main production facility of what is now called the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, or NGA for short.
You might think it a little weird that the agency acronym is “NGA” instead of “NGIA,” but there’s a reason they jammed it into three letters. Four letters signifies a sub-agency within another institution. For example, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, or NIMA—which became NGA— was an office within the Department of Defense. As remote sensing became more mission critical for warfighters, more resources were consecrated to its functions, and it became an intelligence agency in its own right in 2003. Intelligence agencies (NSA, CIA, NRO) all have three letters, and so they stuck Geospatial-Intelligence together to fit an acronym that indicated the organization’s importance and status.
The NGA West Campus is located in a historic site on the banks of the Mississippi River, the Arsenal. This is the site of where St. Louis city dwellers faced off against Confederate sympathizers and ultimately kept Missouri from entering on the side of the Rebels in the Civil War.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s role was becoming more critical, especially given the tactical advantage conferred when GEOINT is integrated with the NSA’s SIGINT, and so it required more space to house intelligence analysts and other support staff. Around 2014, certain big wigs pushed for a new intelligence agency building in North City St. Louis.
Just south of Ferguson.
Which exploded into chaos in late 2014.
Now, ask yourself if land was made more expensive or less expensive in that area after the Ferguson Op. Several millions of dollars of buildings were apparently burned.
Now go back and look for any attempt by Rep. Lacy Clay or Mayor Francis Slay to quell any of the unrest, which was otherwise allowed to foment for months.
Ask if any developers happened to start consolidating real estate in that area around that time.
Now ask why drug traffickers have not only been allowed to continue their operations where this new campus had been designated, but why so many St. Louis politicians took bribes from those drug traffickers.
Or why the St. Louis police overlooked the small matter of murder victims in shallow graves around the new NGA site.
The NGA campus expansion is finally on track, and a firm move-in date of 2025 has been set.
So ask yourself, was the Ferguson debacle a prime opportunity for hostile foreign intelligence services to interfere with the most important intelligence agency expansion of the young century?
Was anybody allowed to profiteer off of the misconduct of public servants during that time period?
And why were St. Louis politicians so care-free about taking money from a Palestinian dude who was at the time under indictment by the Feds for drug trafficking and racketeering?
Perhaps the classic St. Louis “I guess people were just incompetent” explanation may not cut it here.
