XKeyWhore likes to mention this thing: the "Marianas Deepest/Darkest Web." I will preface my free-associating by noting that spooky quantum stuff is over my pay grade. But whatever's going on here is probably more like old-fashioned PROMIS hijinks.

The FBI's Sensitive Compartmented Information Operational Network (SCION) which is the substrate for programs like Proton/Crisscross and likely ties into things like NetOps' Global Information Grid—though it's hard to tell just how porous the gap is between military and federal networks.
