Big Brother's Eye in the Sky by JerseyG

From Raw Story 6/14/10

"The Federal Aviation Administration has been asked to issue flying rights for a range of pilotless planes to carry out civilian and law-enforcement functions but has been hesitant to act. Officials are worried that they might plow into airliners, cargo planes and corporate jets that zoom around at high altitudes, or helicopters and hot air balloons that fly as low as a few hundred feet off the ground."

"On top of that, these pilotless aircraft come in a variety of sizes. Some are as big as a small airliner, others the size of a backpack. The tiniest are small enough to fly through a house window."

Oh gee, and all they are worried about is air traffic?!  Wow, the big brother state will really shift into high gear when these beauties show up in the air over cities and towns all across America.  The skies won't be so friendly anymore as evidenced by this NY Times article:

Spy Drones in Demand by U.S. Police Departments but approval Pending

Approval pending?  How many of you reading this believe approval isn't forthcoming?  Pipe down sheeple and go back to sleep.  This is a discussion for intelligent, informed adults only.




"If use of the drone wins U.S. Federal Aviation Administration approval after tests, the Miami-Dade Police Department will start flying the 14 pound, or 6.35 kilogram, drone over urban areas with an eye toward full-fledged employment in crime fighting."

"Our intentions are to use it only in tactical situations as an extra set of eyes," said Detective Juan Villalba, a police department spokesman.

All the better to watch all you nasty "homegrown terrorists."  You know who you are.  All those plotting to protest against BP's use of Corexit 9500 and their  strong arm banning of cameras and reporters in the Gulf.  All you teaparty people marching against the erosion of your civil liberties.  And you 9/11 truthers? Don't even go there ! Oh yes, they will be watching you from the sky like hawks.  Step outta line and you will be swooped down upon like a hawk on a baby rabbit.

All the authoritarian government officials and jack booted thugs are drooling over these metal spy birds.  If you're not paranoid yet, you are brain dead.  "1984" is here on steroids. The FORCE may be with them but karma is with us.

I don't know how, but I do know that the oppressors will lose in the end.  They have to.  We want our privacy back and the right to feel safe on our streets and in our homes, not from the common criminal,  but from  the spying eyes of those that pretend to protect us.
