EarthNow is a new company looking to provide satellite imagery and live video in virtually real-time. Its unsettling pitch describes a network of satellites that can see any corner of the globe and provide live video with a latency of about a second. And a look at the startup’s top investors gives a lot of confidence that this thing is happening.

On Wednesday, EarthNow announced that it will emerge from the Intellectual Ventures ISF Incubator to become a full-scale commercial business. Its first round of investors is comprised of a small group of complimentary powerhouses: AirBus, the SoftBank Group, Bill Gates, and satellite-industry vet Greg Wyler.

It is already being done.

This opens up the information to everyone, instead of the few governments who have it now.

Russia and the U.S. have had this capability for decades.

They can monitor everything we do, and we still can’t see Obama’s birth certificate.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

Not until we have 24 hour real-time surveillance of Gate's properties from space.

Gates must be getting jealous of Bezos, Zuckerberg and the Google people being the main civilian providers of surveillance, and wants to do them one better.

Ya know,.... I’m startin’ to not like these lefty billionaire megalomaniacs.

This came out in the 1980’s!

Judas Priest – Electric Eye Lyrics

Up here in space
I’m looking down on you.
My lasers trace
Everything you do.
You think you’ve private lives
Think nothing of the kind.
There is no true escape
I’m watching all the time.
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.
I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye.
Always in focus
You can’t feel my stare.
I zoom into you
You don’t know I’m there.
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove.
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.
I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye.
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There’s nothing you can do about it.
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows.
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.
I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye.
I’m elected electric spy
I’m elected. Protected. Detective. Electric eye.
Songwriters: GLENN RAYMOND TIPTON, KENNETH DOWNING, ROBERT HALFORD
