Drones over U.S. get OK by Congress
“Privacy advocates say the measure will lead to widespread use of drones for electronic surveillance by police agencies across the country and eventually by private companies as well.”
“The agency projects that 30,000 drones could be in the nation’s skies by 2020.”
But, they would never misuse it, right? :jester:
Big brother getting even bigger…
Not shocking. This government is ever increasingly more concerned with it’s own citizens than it is about foreign enemies. It would never occur to them that perhaps THEY no longer serve We the People as they are supposed to, no it’s that we’re the ones that are “out of control”…
All in the name of safety!!
Just google “dhs blimps”…lol the information is right there in the open and people dont care.
Since the 537 BIGGEST criminals in America, all work in the Potomac swamps, MOST of the drones will be stationed there, right? :rolleyes:
Read Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg. We aren’t going to have a boot stomping on our face forever, we are going to be hugged and “protected” into slavery.
Very true, by far the biggest threat to our survival as a free nation are the clowns and saboteurs in Washington… No criminal or foreign enemy could ever dream of being able to do the damage these crooks have done to our nation.
While I don’t disagree with your statement, these “clowns and saboteurs” did their damage with our permission. The rate of reelection for incumbants in the House has been well over 90% for years and it’s even higher in the Senate.
We put 'em there, we keep 'em there, we bear a good measure of the blame.
Maybe you should do some research in voter fraud. Even in the primaries recently.
Dave,
Absolutely correct you are, it’s a condemnation of the idiocy of the voting populace in this nation in recent generations - or perhaps self-serving corruption of these individuals. There really should be an IQ test administered before you can vote. I doubt many of them would pass, knowing nothing of history. The leaches and scabs in society vote themselves more and more welfare and government goodies. Less than half of the US population even pays any taxes, so you can see where this will all lead.
I say if you agree to accept government assistance or welfare that you sign away your voting rights during such time and for a 12 month period following it’s end. That will prevent the leaches from voting for the commie libs who gain more and more ground with every election. You don’t have to sign away your voting rights, but neither do you have a right to take welfare from society either. Take your choice…
The answer?
Who is John Galt?
Who’s wearing the tinfoil hat now? Patriot Act, NDAA, Patriots and Constitutionalists are terrorists… When will Skynet become self aware?
1984 Gents… Wake up, you are being manipulated.
Given current satellite technology I think the cow is already out of the barn. Besides did anyone really believe we’d bring them back from Iraq and NOT use them for anything?
Ah but the libertarians are still crazy; we’ve got to keep electing one of two parties who have shown us that they’ll keep growing government “for national security” or “for the children”.
We now return to your regularly scheduled state programming.
Drones, The Patriot Act and the War on Drugs are a small price to pay to keep crazy guys like Ron Paul out of the White House. Just vote for Romney and if you aren’t a criminal you don’t have to worry about drones.
That crazy 2012 doomsday prediction is looking better and better…quick painful cataclysmic death > slow painful strangulation
Oh you guys, it’s for the greater good. I know I feel safer already.
:rolleyes:
You guys realize how expensive it is to build a mountain cabin completely underground, don’t you?
And did I mention I hate Morlocks?
Anybody got any leads on surplus camo netting?
Do the drones augment the black helicopters from the U.N. or replace them?
Remember to never bite the hand that feeds you.
So, instead of watching a LA police chase filmed by a TV or police helo it will come to my home theater via a drone - cool. Assuming that they are operated by local LE and monitoring public streets, I’m struggling to see the big deal. I don’t get worried when my county increases the numbers of cops patrolling my neighborhood. Why should I worry about an unmanned drone performing the same function?
