USA Officialdom Responses to Edward Snowden’s flight out of Hong Kong:
Infantile Sniveling Senator Chuck Schumer complaint about friends not being treated properly,
“Putin always seems almost eager to stick a finger in the eye of the United States – whether it is Syria, Iran and now of course with Snowden,” Schumer told CNN’s “State of the Union,” adding that China may have been involved as well. “Allies are suppose to treat each other in decent ways.”
Rand Paul, a true statesman patriot;
“They’re going to contrast the behavior of James Clapper, our national intelligence director, with Edward Snowden,” said Paul. “Mr. Clapper lied in Congress in defiance of the law in the name of security. Mr. Snowden told the truth in the name of privacy.”
Paul continued: “So I think there will be a judgment because both of them broke the law, and history will have to determine.”
This foolish young woman can sacrifice her liberty for her “safety” to be able to go to “the movies, the airport, and the mall”.
wow…..she’s such a narcissist that she actually likes the thought of having her every move watched.
It seems all this gal needs is shiny sparkley objects to make her happy and opportunities to play dress-up and look-at-me……….sad to think this girl has been “educated beyond her intelligence” (Mississippi comedian, Jerry Clower quote).
In 13 hour Senate Filibuster Rand Paul asks ONE question of Obama Administration.
“Do you have the Constitutional power to use a drone to kill a US citizen on US soil?”
“No.” Should have been the answer, but instead we get legalese that proclaims power to provisionally decide to kill a US citizen on US soil with a drone.
[…]The American “battlefield” doctrine and the NDAA
In defending the drone assassination powers of the President, you might hear language used that says drones will “only be used on the battlefield.” That seems to imply they will only be used in the Middle East, right?
Wrong. The USA has been legally defined as the new “battlefield” by the NDAA. That’s theNational Defense Authorization Act which also allows for the arrest and indefinite detention of American citizens without trial, without legal representation and even without them ever being charged.
The USA is the new “battlefield,” and when you combine the NDAA and the DOJ’s new drone killing justification memo, you now have the claimed legal framework for any American on U.S. soil to be arrested, detained, tortured or blown to bits without warning and without even a single shred of evidence being presented against him.
Yes, this is America today. Right now. You are living under a military dictatorship and most of you don’t even realize it yet. Even liberals and progressives are starting to wake up to Obama’s tyranny, by the way. On Democracy Now, Daniel Ellsberg recently described Obama’s actions as a “systematic assault on the Constitution.”
Who are the terrorists?
Of course, anyone who raises these points will be immediately dismissed with the claim that all this new power in the hands of the President will only be used “against terrorists.”
Okay, then who are the terrorists, exactly? It turns out they are YOU!
As Judge Napolitano recently explained:
The [Janet Napolitano DHS] memorandum said that people who are pro-life, people who believe in the right to keep and bear arms, returning veterans, people who think the government is too big and the IRS is too powerful, could be characterized as domestic terrorists. That could characterize two-thirds of the country. (Click here to see related video.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwJb5pbWhe4 […]
[…]All that is necessary to justify the murder of American citizens without trial is labeling them “terrorists” even with no evidence to support such a claim. The drone killings require no evidence. They only require the signature of one man.
Who is likely on the drone strike target list in the USA
So who is most likely to be assassinated by President Obama once drone strikes are fully unleashed in the USA?
• Journalists.
• Political opponents.
• Anti-government protesters. (One Hellfire missile takes ‘em all out.)
• Online activists.
• Veterans.
• Gun owners and gun shops.
• Constitutionalists and libertarians.
Drone strikes are completely silent because the Hellfire missiles arrive faster than the speed of sound. You don’t even hear the missile until after the explosion. The blast radius of a Hellfire missile is 15 – 20 meters, and everything inside that radius is completely obliterated. This is more than enough to destroy entire homes, apartments and office buildings, not to mention vehicles and even light bunkers.
World Net Daily editor Joseph Farah actually voiced his concern about Obama being reelected, saying that he believed Obama would “kill journalists” if he won a second term. Farah is not being paranoid. He’s right on the money with where this is going. Copy and paste, to read his article this link, http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/obamas-2nd-term-war-on-domestic-opposition/ published right before the 2012 election.
[…]
I think Mike Adams sees this issue very clearly, will enough US citizens wake up to the warning bells ringing through his and Joseph Farah’s and many others including the Rand Paul Senate Filibuster to save what is left of the Republic? Or will the slow murder of the US Constitution continue to its last gasp with an ignominious endgame?
Well, well, well, I woke up night, or rather 3 am in the morning Thursday, realizing that Issac, Tropical Storm, that is, wasn’t going to help my fall garden seeds with any appreciable rainfall. WAS this weather manipulation? Stranger things happen.
Looking at the flooding in Louisiana and Mississippi Gulf Coastal areas of ten to twenty inches of Issac rains and then seeing the promise of drought ending rains evaporate over my garden, nefarious weather control experimenters at work once again? DROUGHT or FLOOD, what a ghoulish bunch of people would enjoy these fruits?
It stinks. Making bets on the misfortunes of these weather events is monstrous. I hope the Chicago Market Weather profiteers choke on their profits……Sick SOBs………God’s gonna get you one day………Never doubt it fools.
All I got from the concentrated manipulated course of Issac was the dry tropical winds for 3 days and a poor misting a few times. Once my front steps got actually wet for a few minutes before quickly evaporating into the drying blow of 15 mph edge winds from Issac’s passing to my left side. Yes, many of us have been robbed……our gardens and crops were denied of rain or flooded with too much……Yes, bad weather happens, but in today’s geoengineered world it often is by neo-god designs. But God Almighty is watching……He will have the last say.
(…)Students of all ages already are inquiring into the program, Pearcy said.
“We’ve had people just out of high school, but also a lot of nontraditional type students and people who have always had an interest in remote control aircraft,” he said. “Right now we probably have more nontraditional students than freshmen right out of high school.”(…)
Soooooooo………..
Nerds and Video-game Heads, here’s your chance to get that dream job and here is a piece of news that will bring the new age of drones right down to your local community level. Message to us “civilians”?
Get used to having your every step outside your door under surveillance for any reason these young men and their bosses deem necessary or expedient to their purposes whether you are comfortable with that or not.
“Smile, you’re on candid camera!”
All you cattle rustlers are on notice too………
potential civilian uses
Some projected civilian uses for UAVs will include:
•Search and rescue
•Border patrol
•Pipeline patrol
•Conservation efforts
•Home security surveillance
•Road patrol
•Anti-piracy
•Livestock monitoring
•Wildfire mapping
•Electromagnetic spectrum, gamma ray, biological, and chemical sensors
•Oil, gas and mineral exploration and production
•Transport
•Weather research
Of course, let’s not forget the military applications:
UAV categories
UAVs typically fall into one of six functional categories (although multi-role airframe platforms are becoming more prevalent):
•Target and decoy – providing ground and aerial gunnery a target that simulates an enemy aircraft or missile.

I included the linked photo above to put a few of the human faces together with their professional aspirations to be the eyes that watch us. I especially notice the young boys in the background who look eagerly and curiously on with no doubt hopes of careers remotely piloting drones of this most basic type as well as the other more technologically advanced and multi-tasked capable drones.
Jackson, Mississippi, Clarion Ledger Story,Written by

When news hit earlier this month that an American drone had killed at least 10 al-Qaida militants, instructors some 8,000 miles away at Hinds Community College were working on Mississippi’s first program to train drone pilots.
Currently the market on unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, also known as drones, is almost completely military. But in February, President Barack Obama signed a bill giving the Federal Aviation Administration three years to “integrate” UAVs into the national air space along with piloted aircraft.
Seeing that opening, HCC’s leaders thought it was time to start training the people who will pilot those crafts. (…)
(…) “In the next two to five years this industry will explode,” said instructor/ consultant Dennis Lott. “There are so many opportunities that will be available, there will be more positions than pilots and technicians to fill them.”
Hinds already has a traditional aviation course that trains pilots. The UAV program will allow students to take four courses that will train them to fly the unmanned aircraft.
The people who go into those military positions tend to have hand-eye coordination and technical knowledge that comes from personal experience with radio-controlled aircraft or video games.
The idea for the class at Hinds was born a few years ago when the college’s aviation chairman, Randy Pearcy, was discussing an ROTC program with New York surgeon Dr. Butch Rosser. (…)
You see? This has been in the making for “years”.
Now put the pieces of the puzzle together, take them out of their little compartmentalized boxes, and assemble this picture of life in the age of the drones controlled by those quick reflexed sharp eyed young men with the highest technological video game consoles you could ever imagine possible sitting in their comfortable chairs in climate controlled rooms with remote control of these tools capable of all the above real life actions.
The possibilities for both good and evil use of drones are endless………….
majoring in the program, which is open only to U.S. citizens.
It works with Northland Community College in Thief River Falls, Minn., which developed the first drone maintenance training center in the country and proudly shows off its own full-size Global Hawk.
The university also serves as an incubator for companies that might want to expand the industry. In five days, Unmanned Applications Institute International, which provides training in operating drones, can teach a cop how to use a drone the size of a bathtub toy.
Drones=tools with many uses good and evil. What can be done will be done, yet this applies to all tools and certainly the guidelines of responsibility are found within the US Constitution.
Sometimes seeing is believing, here is less than 4 minute video of going-down-the-road-eyewitness ‘Aim High’ Air Force full color rolling billboards of drones, Big Brother’s eyes in the sky.
The next decade could see a huge shift in the way armed drones and their human controllers interact, with potentially profound effects on future battlefields. At the heart of this change: two-way voice controls for autonomous systems, just like your iPhone’s Siri app. Also, vibrating controls like an Xbox controller. A drone operator could literally talk to a drone and the drone could talk right back, and also alert its human operator with a sensation similar to touch.
