Home going up in Highlandville to be one of country’s largest (DOD Intelligence contractor)

Someone is building a bunker. A man is spending 7 million dollars just on materials. A man with ties to the intelligence community.

It is only zoned for one family at a time.

Just what is going on....

Just what is going on....

I don't know but we need the GPS of the coordinates along with Mapquest map. If the SHTF, that's where we need to go.

Now we know someone found one of Hussans secret accounts.

>>If the SHTF, that’s where we need to go.<<

Remember what happened to Flanders...?

Certainly bizarre. The company that owns the property also seems to have a connection to medical imagery:

Overwatch also owns the Medical Numerics company, which, according to its website, “enjoys powerful collaborations with the world’s leading medical imaging research organizations, including The United States National Institutes of Health, Harvard Medical School, Yale University, UCLA School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, Georgetown University, and Oxford University.”

Medical imagery? Maybe there's an Obamacare connection.

>>If the SHTF, that’s where we need to go.<<

Remember what happened to Flanders...?

Only one family can reside here but it has:

“Interior plans include two elevators; 15 bedrooms; 14 bathrooms; a two-story, 1,600-square-foot library and two-story, 1,970-square-foot great hall.

The master bedroom is 1,275 square feet.”

They are telling people it is a corporate retreat. Say what??? How can you do that in a residential neighborhood with zoning for only one family.

“More than 25,000 analysts in the U.S. Department of Defense and the larger intelligence community utilize Overwatch solutions.””

Didn’t you see that Twilight Zone episode? He won’t let you in.

Let’s ask an Ark Freeper to fly his plane over this building site. Heh—this article should attract a lot of trespassers!

Here is an interesting comment :

“Here is a challenge for all of you. This building has been going up for almost three years and barely at the first floor. How long would it take for construction to dig out the hole that this building would occupy? Lets say it would take a year. So about two years ago there should have at least have been a big hole in the ground.

At 23,000 square feet for the basement that could be what, a 4,500 ft by 4,500 ft hole? I know,it depends if its square or rectangular, etc. My point is that there should be a big hole in the ground.

Now, when I look at Google Satellite view, at the end of Wood Forks road, I don’t see anything. Just grass and trees. I know Google doesn’t update every year. But two or three years out you would expect to see something.

What does that mean? Can anyone find it n the web satellite views?

I’d like to see it. I’d like to know why I can’t.”

Flanders. Flanders?? You mean the Flemish people of Belgium or Ned Flanders on the Simpsons?

I can do better than that. That’s within driving distance for me. I can put a dummy construction vinyl sticker on my truck and blend in with the workers. Take pictures and video cam it and roll out of there.

Sounds like a Walmart.

Ned Flanders — the ep where a meteor is about ti destroy Springfield he has the bomb shelter and is kicked out as the only person of no value in a future society. Then everyone feels bad and goes to join him outside only to see the Bomb Shelter the only thing destroyed by the meteor.

Classic Simpsons!

It appears that Huff may be a Republican by his donations..including money to john Thune.

That’s great, but watch your back.

The building permit was obtained in March of 2008..days before a new ordinance went into place.

Supposedly grading started soon after.

So, why are they only on the ground floor??

And why build right by an interstate.

Don’t people build mansions like this somewhere more private?

Ahh, here is a bio of the mysterious former CIA employee Steven Huff.

Steve Huff '73 data enhancer

Steve Huff '73 is soft-spoken and unassuming. That's probably why he was so successful in U.S. Army Intelligence and the Central Intelligence Agency. "At Hampden-Sydney the program was very hands-on. You got to work with professors who would give you the key to the lab and let you design your experiments." Steve Huff '73 data enhancer

Sensor Systems, Huff's software company, is also unassuming, yet it is used by U.S. intelligence communities to view and manipulate satellite images. The application, called RemoteView, is so capable that nearly every image from a U.S. spy satellite goes through it before being viewed by a human.

Huff transferred to Hampden-Sydney after a year at a large midwestern university, where he had quickly learned that hands-on experience was reserved only for graduate students. Hampden-Sydney, however, offered him the opportunities he wanted. "I was comfortable with Dr. [Thomas] Joyner, and the program was very hands-on. You got to work with professors who would basically give you the key to the lab and let you design your experiments." After graduation, Huff entered the California Institute of Technology, where his laboratory experience set him apart from students who had gone to major universities. "Many were extremely inept at experimental physics because they had never had the chance to do that kind of stuff."

Working at Cal Tech was exciting for Huff because he was learning from Nobel Prize winners and using state-of-the-art facilities, but he became disillusioned about "big science" research physics as a career. One of his professors steered him toward a possible career in intelligence gathering, so he joined the U.S. Army.

In the Army, he joined intelligence as a field operative, using his technical expertise to find and analyze vulnerabilities. "I enjoyed the immediacy of it, and the people. I worked with some truly amazing people there." Huff chooses his words carefully, mindful that some of what he did may still be classified. "It was very different from the academic environment. This was the elite of the Army-not your average infantryman." Steve Huff Steve Huff '73 working to enhance detail in satellite images.

He enjoyed the work but knew he did not want to make a career out of it, so he joined the Central Intelligence Agency. "It was a time when there were some very serious problems in the world-the Soviet Union and so on-and we were just starting to appreciate what could be done if you combined an operational background and a technical background." Under tight deadlines, he created task-specific intelligence collecting devices, which exposed him to many different technologies. He continues using technology to solve problems through his work at his company, Sensor Systems.

Satellite images and the additional data with them are collected and transmitted in files as large as several gigabytes-too large for most computers to handle smoothly. The federal government, which had been using large, expensive, custom-built computers to handle image processing, decided in the early 1990s to begin using commercially available models. Huff's company, which had been working closely with chip-maker Intel, created the software needed to interpret and manipulate satellite data.

Huff sits in front of three computer monitors manipulating an image of a North Korean nuclear facility. He explains how RemoteView runs on a powerful desktop PC. "This is not your everyday Wal-Mart PC. It has two processors, a couple of gigabytes of memory, and a high-end graphics card." The black-and-white Korean countryside glides effortlessly across the monitor. "Analysts look at these images all day. If the scrolling is choppy, [the analysts] can lose productivity, or even get physically sick." Huff says his company has learned from the computer gaming industry. "It turns out what these games need for nice fluid motion is very similar to what we need to handle these images." The demand for gaming technology has also reduced the price of the hardware. Systems that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars only a few years ago have been replaced by inexpensive graphics cards.

Using additional data collected from the satellites, Huff shows the coordinates and elevation of particular points on the screen. Then he takes his demonstration to the next level, transforming the essentially top-down view to a three-dimensional view. He glides his computer mouse across the desk, and he makes it appear as though he is in an airplane flying over North Korea. "I can move along and see what it would look like as I fly . . . for training and that sort of thing."

The software has commercial applications, too. Community planning committees use the images to coordinate growth and building projects. It is also used in agriculture and the aerospace industries, but Sensor System's biggest client remains the federal government, particularly the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

Huff is proud of the work he is doing and cognizant of the impact it has on national security. "Our products form the window through which thousands of intelligence analysts view the world. So we think it's an important thing, and we like to make sure our employees are not only talented but also dedicated." That dedication has paid off. Sensor Systems has not just survived but has excelled in an industry led by major aerospace corporations. Thus Steve Huff, the soft-spoken man toiling away in an unassuming office outside Washington D.C., continues working for the intelligence community, protecting our country, and pushing the limits of technology.

If they didn’t before, chances are with all this unwanted publicity they’ve got 24/7 security. I would. Er, um, I mean that’s how I did it last time I built a 72K sq ft house...
