Drones and Police are changing

Didn't you kind of consider Democrats to be the reasonable party in America? Not sure who ruined them or when they crossed over to be against the public but it seems to have happened. Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein seems about as big a hawk as one can get. She backs everything the FBI, CIA or NSA wants to do. So they are doing it. With impunity.
At least the Republicans openly act like they are crazy, so we cannot see any deceit in their actions. They just want to bomb everybody and make no Skull and Bones about it!


Many people thought Barack Obama might change things after the
blatant disrespect and impudence of Bush and Cheney. But they seem to have started the spiral downward that is now unstoppable.  And some even think Obama had a visitor to his Oval Office who told him like it was going to be. And that is how it is. Now we are wondering what the slogan 'Yes we can' really meant? And if there is any real difference between political parties and the direction of America?

Many people think there is a secret government plan to condition the populace to the presence of military units amid the people. So you'll accept the blackshirts on your street without question or protest. Even though you have a frisson of fear in your heart.
And not just military, the local police forces are becoming militarized. Even little backwoods towns have a SWAT team now, with fully armed Humvees and even armored vehicles! Connecticut police now have grenade launchers in their arsenal!

And every local Sheriff now has his very own drone to watch you from the sky! In a few years there will be WAAS  (Wide Area Airborne Surveillance) drones looking out for you. WAAS sensors  provide persistent 24/7 city-size video coverage with direct feed to ground troops within line-of-site and operations centers for immediate exploitation. WAAS will also store high-resolution data for forensics and provide Multi-INT cued high-res spot coverage for moving target tracking and identification. Don't bother running for it.
There are already nearly 30,000 company drones flying. And no one knows how many police and military drones. All looking out for us. Keeping you safe. Protecting you from .....
And those drones are now so small you'll not even know they are up there, clinging to the curtain in your bedroom. Looking out for you. It could be worse though, they're not like mosquitoes who will bite you while you're sleeping, just lil mechanical flyers that will record how you snore, and report if you sleepwalk.

There are now 40 Federal agencies with armed police. Licensed to carry guns and one would assume, use them if needed. The cities of North America are morphing into a police state. Even the Federal Reserve, a non government organization, (which some believe was responsible for JFK to die) has armed officers.
Some other agencies with armed 'enforcement' include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Coast Guard, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (preventing whale attacks?) the U.S. Postal Service, and the U.S. Park Service. And what about the National Institute of Health, the Veterans Health Administration and the Department of Agriculture? (protecting Monsanto?)
And don't forget the Department of Homeland Security, which employs nearly half of all federal officers, in the Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And they have been buying and stockpiling weapons and ammunition for years! DHS plans to buy 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition over the next four or five years, and has already bought 360,000 rounds of hollow point bullets and 1.5 billion rounds in 2012. In America, enough to wage an all out war on the people who may resist being ruled by robotic brutes.You remember these folks from the last movie, who, along with the Blackwater private army held people off at gunpoint from reaching safety during hurricane Katrina.

It is not unrealistic to say about 90% of the new police/military officers with their psycho personalities would never have been allowed to join so few years ago. Now they are sought after for that ruthless disposition.

I don't know about you, but some people have told me they would rather take their chances with the protesters, the Mafia, the Minutemen, the Hells Angels, the NRA, Ted Nugent and the drug dealers than the police. All of the above are dedicated to upholding the US Constitution. Liberty is crucial to what they do.

So the realm of the police boils down to: To serve who and protect who?  Does that mean WE serve the new masters and protect THEIR interests? Frightening.

We may be past the tipping point.

Go back to sleep, it may be all over when you wake up.

Watching the skies ... then and now

 Used to be, one of the nicest things you could see in the sky was a hawk circling over a grassy field, looking for his meal.
That sky watching became searching for dangerous aircraft during war and in 1943, the English Homeguard needed to identify planes over the English countryside, so the Observer issued pamphlets like this. The Spitfire was a thrill in its beauty and purpose but most will never see one again, (unless you are watching Foyle's War on British TV.) And there was no point in identifying a V2 and calling someone because it would already be there before the call went through. Of course there's really nothing romantic about war and that was then, this is now .....

Dutch designer Ruben Pater came up with this modern chart of attack and surveillance drones.

Our ancestors could spot natural predators like hawks from afar by their silhouettes. We may need to be also aware of the present day predators. Spies looking for more than a meal. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) predicts that within 20 years there could be 30,000 drones flying over U.S. soil alone. As robotic birds will become commonplace in the near future, we should be prepared to identify them.
Aside from the practicality of using drones in distant wars where the pilot sits in a comfortable facility in his home country, oblivious to any danger,  while his Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) hunts down and kills those who are perceived to have a threat to our society, there are now hundreds more uses for UAVs. 

From peaceful uses like mapping terrain. Checking out building sites too dangerous for a man. A local police force observing a robbery in progress, to privacy infringing uses where a tiny silent drone looking like a dragon-fly hovers near your bedroom window to peek at you, to the use of a Reaper Drone or a Global Hawk to attack the Pentagon, observed by 214 surveillance cameras but only 10 frames released to the public.

Grim Reaper?

Is there a subliminal threat to society looms in the skies with those drones? Recently a Colorado company, who makes drones approved by the US Government, was assisting in surveying flood damage, a useful operation. They were ordered by FEMA, to ground their UAVs and anyone flying one would be arrested! No one has explained why.
Well anyone in the know is already aware that something sinister is going on in Colorado that someone doesn't want you to see. And that's just the beginning.

The future is now, keep watching your skies, just don't shoot down a real hawk, they're just looking for a meal.

Get back at them!

The Dragonfly puts all other flying toys to shame.

A new robotic dragonfly from Georgia Tech can hover, dive, climb, and fly like a real insect.

Meet the TechJect Dragonfly a remote control robotic insect that, as its name suggests, looks akin to and can fly like a real insect. Researchers at Georgia Tech’s Robotics & Intelligent Machines (RIM) Department have been hard at work making this science fiction inspired device a reality.

“The TechJect Dragonfly is a wifi-enabled, super-small, smart and energy efficient robotic insect; it can do amazing aerial photography, aerobatic maneuvers for gaming, autonomous patrolling for security and surveillance, and much more. With up to 20 sensors onboard, the Dragonfly is the most advanced and compact flying platform out there.” -TechJect
TechJect suggests there’s no shortage of uses for the Dragonfly, from aerial photography and gaming to home security and spying. With a platform that boasts GPS capabilities, streaming video and 20 onboard sensors, I’m inclined to agree, the applications are almost limitless.
After receiving a $1,000,000 grant from the US Air Force, the team, including Dr. Jayant Ratti and Emanuel Jones, has built a number of prototypes and is now working to bring a consumer version to market under the spin-off company TechJect. Through their Indigogo page you can support the project and secure your very own remote control Dragonfly for all of your espionage needs.

Indigogo is a popular crowdfunding site where the public can lend monetary support to projects in exchange for various rewards. In the case of the Dragonfly, a contribution of $99 (sold out at the moment) will catch you an Alpha Dragonfly — the perfect package for a budding robo-etymologist. On the other hand if you’re looking to start your own swarm, contributing $949 will see some 17 Dragonflies come under your command. The campaign also offers a variety of Dragonfly-based rewards between these two contribution levels — act fast though, the TechJect Dragonfly has already raised almost $100,000 of its $110,000 goal.

The recent innovations in remote controlled flight have been impressive to say the least; the last decade has seen the realization of toy helicopters that fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, quadrotors that are able to perform stunning complex choreography and lethal military drones controlled from countless miles away. 



 

Isn't it comforting to see how the technology filters down to the masses?  Now do you believe my previous post?  At last, we may be able to keep ourselves safe from those who say they are keeping us safe. You can even fly these with your Smartphone!

Thanks to Phil Tucker for putting this together.

The Drones are coming

Drones are being allowed in American airspace.
What does this mean?
Let's see ....
You already know what the military does with drones in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen  and probably several other countries. They are used for identification, surveillance and targeting of potentially hostile elements. The thing is, the drones used in these foreign operations are flown by regular US military pilots who do know what they are doing.

coming soon - to a sky near you

Recently, the US has allowed drone testing in 59 areas around Denver.  Each about 20 square miles. One of these wayward drones nearly brought down a corporate jet, a Cessna flying at 8,000 feet over Denver. Some analysts have suggested the near miss was as close as 170 FEET from the jet! These particular drones are being tested by the University of Colorado’s Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems, which has FAA authorization.
This testing is being done because there is a congressional mandate to open U.S. airspace to drones by 2015. The FAA has announced procedures to  streamline the process through which government agencies, including local law enforcement, can receive licenses to operate unmanned aircraft at altitudes no higher than 400 feet. This applies as well to commercial and civil drones.

Scared yet?
Why Denver, the mile high city? Well let's see, if you test in the desert, 400 feet is not very high, but around Denver, you are already way up there, flying at a mile high plus 400.  ALL citizens of Denver are members of the Mile High club.
And if you've been keeping up, you KNOW there are all kinds of weird and wonderful things about the new Denver International Airport. Like what was built beneath it in complete secrecy?  Like why did the budget go from 1.7 billion to over 4.8 billion. 3.1 over! Why are there 8 underground levels?  Etc etc.
But back to the drones.

Once they have rules established, the FAA expects as many as 30,000 drones will be in American airspace in the coming years. And it has already been reported that drones operated by the police in Texas will be equipped with weaponry. It's just a matter of time, isn't it?

cute lil predator

Fox News contributor Anthony Napolitano boldly predicted, “The first American patriot that shoots down one of these drones that comes too close to his children in his backyard will be an American hero,” and others have wondered if this makes a frightened father a patriot or a terrorist?
Public safety agencies can now get expedited permission to fly drones weighing up to 25 pounds in U.S. airspace. Some exist at 4 pounds too! Notice they are calling them 'public safety' drones. Considering that some satellites can read the writing on your golf ball from space, these lil' gems will be able to see EVERYTHING you are doing, even under your roof with the shades down in the darkness. Did you forget about motion sensors and thermal imaging?
Nice that the government is looking out for us, isn't it. But have innocent people been targeted for 'suspicious' behavior?  Depends on who is doing the suspecting, doesn't it.

Meanwhile, sharpen your marksman skills, these little mosquitoes will be hard to hit.

Odd Marriage?

The military now has a new drone. They have adapted a regular drone which now can simply fly over a certain area, and gather virtually ALL electronic communications speeding through the ether below! Pause for a moment here, please ........

That means ALL the cell phone communications, who is making them, and who they are going to. ALL your text messages. ALL your Tweets about whatever you are typing about. ALL your facebook info and what you are saying to whomever you are saying it to. Probably all your RDF information nestled snugly into that new credit card with ALL your recent purchases and where you bought that stuff. ALL your driver's info on that new radio frequency ID chip licence you just got. Probably ALL your health records from that CARE card. Ultimate surveillance.

Where does this all point? Match it up with some of that video evidence of military helicopters in Iraq, targeting smart bombs from a mile up and you can see that with a little cross referencing of who is doing what to whom, and how they can be pinpointed to be 'taken out' by one of those stealth black choppers hovering high over your house, there will be no room for rebels in Future World. (read New World Order) Yul Brenner isn't the bad guy.

So it all points to a slave society, completely under control of a military elite, (Google Blackwater, Xe, Fema Camps) almost helpless to resist the subjugation of the populace.

Almost.
But there has always been that element in our democratic society of suspicion driven free people intent on resisting the efforts of Big Brother to control us. Sort of the new Hippies of North America. Now add these flower-haired freedom seekers to the rebellious M15 toting Minutemen, who are ALSO suspicious of anything the government tries to control free people and you have an odd marriage of those who think free and others who also value freedom and have enough weaponry to throw a wrench into the takeover attempts of whatever cells the CIA, NSA, Shadow Government, et al have in mind for the people of North America.

(In 2011 there was a 54% increase in FBI background checks for new and used handguns. 11 MILLION! And those are the legal figures. The public is arming themselves, folks)

Moonchild Mary, meet Redneck Skywalker, say I do and I will and get on with the kiss, we're gonna need this marriage in Future World.
We have work to do.
