PAN isn't short for panopticon, it's short for Palladium at Night. There's no consensus on which agency operates it (potentially NRO but this may not be the case) or what it's for.

Pan is also the god of wild, shepherds and flocks in greek mythology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_(god) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_(god)). Which would suite perfectly for watching over the people, who many of those in power just think as sheep who can be controlled. If you do any research into this subject, you will find many references to different gods, mythologies and other things that are starting to sound like black magic. Just for some examples, see these now famous psyops patches and the symbology used in them: https://vigilantcitizen.com/vigilantreport/top-10-most-sinister-psyops-mission-patches/ https://vigilantcitizen.com/vigilantreport/top-10-most-sinis...

> PAN isn't short for panopticon, it's short for Palladium at Night. "Palladium at Night" is indeed on the mission patch. However, in his CCC talk Trevor Paglen says it might mean "pick a name": https://media.ccc.de/v/30C3_-_5604_-_en_-_saal_1_-_201312282300_-_seeing_the_secret_state_six_landscapes_-_trevor_paglen https://media.ccc.de/v/30C3_-_5604_-_en_-_saal_1_-_201312282... "Pick a name" is also promoted in this Space Review article on the satellite: http://www.thespacereview.com/article/3095/1 http://www.thespacereview.com/article/3095/1
