Hi all, I've been a lurker since 2005 and you only went and did it, dragged me out, thanks!! I've been reading since thread 1 post 1.
This isn't a reply to anybody in particular, I would like to bring up something that was discussed a few pages ago and touched upon by Q.
Q mentioned Corona, as in satellites...offline etc, obviously we have the corona situation today. Is there a connection? Who controlled them and now does? Has the change actually happened yet seeing as we seem to be at 2 year Deltas or more? Have we really had a dig at this? I'm actually going over what I'm typing and I see satellite and connection, not much of a leap to connect the next.
Just want to say Dashen...wow what an amazing journey, thank you kind sir. Rel,amazing work. Just want to mention Endthemadness, Cherokeetroy, Goaty,Cranky, everyone that has been part of this, Including Daskakik. Tiger,PerfectEnemy, Skyfloating from the earlier threads. The mods too!! Hope I don't get trod on

I couldn't agree more with everything you posted.
..and there is also this to know and consider:
DIA field agent
and
impersonating a federal agent.
Officers in this specialty operate globally to plan and conduct clandestine HUMINT collection, and report on intelligence information obtained from human sources to satisfy priorities at the national, combatant command (CCMD) and Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) levels.
These officers gain expertise in foreign cultures and languages to accomplish their mission while acquiring the skills and technical ability to manage sources who have access to privileged information vital to the Department of Defense (DoD) and national security decision makers.
Service in this specialty requires sound judgment, highly developed interpersonal skills, and the ability to manage projects from the field and headquarters perspective.
False Pretense To be guilty of falsely impersonating a federal officer, the offender must knowingly undertake a false identity or persona of a federal official.
The pretended character must assert or appear to act under the authority of the United States, such that the false pretense causes the person deceived to rely on the asserted authority. The pretended identity does not have to be one from an existing federal department or agency.
For example, pretending to be a federal bookseller of presidential documents—an office that does not officially exist—has been held to satisfy the statute. Having assumed a false federal identity, the offender must then also undertake an overt act under the authority of the false persona. In this way, the statute requires both a state of mind of adopting a false pretense and an overt act consistent with the assumed identity.
Overt Act Likewise, the overt act that is performed does not have to be an act that a genuine federal official is authorized to perform in his or her official capacity, as long as the act is performed under the false pretense of the authority of the United States.
For example, pretending to be a United States Senator and directing a prison warden to stay the execution of a state prisoner has been held to satisfy the statute, even though a Senator has no authority to stay an execution of death
