Uncle Sam Prepares To Unleash Up To 30,000 Drones Over America For "Public Safety" | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 25354005 United Kingdom 10/14/2012 04:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you feel, that perhaps we are seeing a rearmament on a scale we've not see since WW2 and the Cold War? Personally I see these kinds of headlines and think of the prelude to WW2 and the many different ways nations sought to increase their arms without seeming like they where breaking any treaty.. We're buying bullets, but hey it's only for internal use, we're building drones, but hey it's only for internal use. Seems like we, that is nations in the West are stockpiling arms and weapons for a reason, and I honestly don't think it is to subdue internal strife. just my tuppence. |

About 6-8 weeks ago I was taking my dog out to go bathroom and while I was waiting for him to do his thing, I just happened to be looking up and Wallah it's a drone. Seemed to be traveling a route along a major river. I do not live near a military base. Or near any metropolitan areas. And it was to early to be looking for pot plants. So they are out there. |

Some dude controlling these from his office or facility. Oh yea, to protect. Wow, what a warm and fuzzy feeling. SPEAK UP. SILENCE IS DEADLY! I am currently experiencing life at several WTFs per hour. |

While the British Police are buying guns they don't need, use or want.. and while I can see people worrying this has everything to do with martial law/civil strife, I can't help but feel this is being used as cover to get around the notion that we (as nations) are disarming ourselves. |

While I know we are heading down a crappy route right now, and I realise the establishment have only left a few routes open to us as nations. The logical route, would be to seek out new sources of revenue to take up the employment slack and make us all happy bunnies that can work and feed ourselves and our kids, but really that had to come within the first year of this mess to be effective before the people get angry. That leaves dealing with the fermenting internal anger, which at some point will be directed against the establishment itself, they know this and know the outcome to that places their own arses on the line. The last one is to redirect that internal anger externally.. and while I think what they are doing is looking like they are preparing for internal issues, I can't help but feel that they are really preparing for something external. Generally speaking the establishment seems safer from their enemies in an external conflict than they are from their own people in an internal one.. It seems logical to me that they'll protect their own arses.. |
