Drones: The Endangered Species

[Lore]

[Cherry Kelly]

Police copters fly over here a lot between two major highway connections and cars that speed down this two lane road like they were on a major highway!

When out in the yard and one flies over - they wave! See I have this 100+ft row of red eutin floribunda roses - they bloom spring to frost and easily seen! As one of the local sheriff's told me - these choppers also use my flowers in the summer as a 'site marker' and yes they have managed to slow down some of the speeders.

Can anyone honestly say that they didn't see this coming?

AND NOW --


Drone blimps hovering over DC - to stop cruise missiles. YA right...

[Fan]

The first time someone shoots down a drone the place will be swarming with black vans and people will disappear. You can't fight drones like this, cities don't have sovereign airspace. It is futile. The time to fight was 10-20 years ago, it is way too late now.

... I have a police helicopter that flies overhead with some frequency and upon spotting me in the yard has done the "let's fly over three more times to make sure I am not some criminal stalking about the place routine". This has happened often enough although not every time they fly over that I just melt into the trees when I hear them coming. It is irritating.

Lore, if you fail to notify local authorities of your intent to go outside & you fail to provide them with a detailed itinerary of your chores around the house, can you blame them for thinking you are acting suspicious? Have you already forgotten 9/11? Why not notify the first responders - you're not planning on doing something illegal in your back yard are you?

Remember, there are people in the world who hate your freedoms. The heroic copter crew is up there, putting their lives on the line every day for you. We have to support the first responders. Lets do a ribbon campaign for that.

Remember, there are people in the world who hate your freedoms.

Including but not limited to elected officials. It's their job to make the world safe and eliminate the hate.

An effective yet drastic solution to the hate, eliminating freedoms universally would be a little too much. There's ways of doing it that aren't anywhere quite so obvious.

Keep the framework of democracy going and most folks won't notice. It's easy enough to give the appearance people still have choices, while at the same time giving them no real options at all... Unless, of course, you're willing and able to pay the penalty.

So have no fear, my friends, freedom can still be had in this great land! That is, provided it's not out of your price range.

I remember when Black Helicopters were considered radical ....

Including but not limited to elected officials.

You have identified the key condition in the Ultimate Orwellian Mind-jack which *is* the USA since sometime before 9/11 (referred to colloquially, in it's current incarnation, as " 'murika ").

All of this destruction of freedom by a perfectly integrated fifth column (derived from a collusion of big government & big business) is done in the name of protecting us from those (wild eyed foreigners) who hate our freedom and would take it from us.

Christie: NSA critics should talk to 9/11 families

• Christie, speaking "as a former prosecutor who was appointed by President George W. Bush on September 10, 2001," urged caution when discussing calls to revamp the way the U.S. government collects data on Americans. A measure narrowly failed in the House Wednesday that would have restricted a phone monitoring program that came to light earlier this summer.
  
  "This strain of libertarianism that's going through both parties right now and making big headlines I think is a very dangerous thought," Christie said, referring to national security topics.
