Unmanned Aerial Drones Coming Soon Above U.S.
cnet-declan writes "Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been flying over Iraq and Afghanistan, but now the Bush administration wants to use them for domestic surveillance. A top Homeland Security official told Congress today, according to this CNET News.com article, that: "We need additional technology to supplement manned aircraft surveillance and current ground assets to ensure more effective monitoring of United States territory." One county in North Carolina is already using UAVs to monitor public gatherings. But what happens when lots of relatively dumb drones have to share airspace with aircraft carrying passengers? A pilot's association is worried."
Juden raus; plzkthx.
The U.S. government is showing many signs that it is not a government BY and FOR the people.
Cheney's company is building prisons for the U.S. government.
World Trade Center building 7 fell in exactly the same exactly symmetrical way as WTC 1 and 2, and it was NOT hit by an airplane. ALL the collapses looked like controlled demolitions. See the news footage in the movie Loose Change. It is a work in progress, but already very informative.
Before, Saddam got Iraq oil profits & paid part to kill Iraqis. Now a few Americans share Iraq oil profits, & U.S. citizens pay to kill Iraqis. Improvement?
The "Social Security" plans are designed to get amateur stock investors into the stock market, where the professionals, who back the plan, can take the amateur's money. To make money in the stock market, it is necessary to find buyers at a higher price than was paid. The social security plan would insure that there are many new, inexperienced buyers.
A government that does some things in secret cannot be a democratic government. Citizens cannot supervise what they don't know. Yet many actions of the U.S. government are through secret agencies like the CIA and NSA, and some whose names citizens are not allowed to know. But the citizens are expected to pay.
You contradict yourself. If you think drugs should all be legal, despite the harm they do, then how can you not be in favor of gun rights? You're inconsistent. I think your hate is driven by outside forces, it certainly isn't rational. You probably couldn't point out a few positive things America has done for the world, like when we stopped Hitler, ended world war 2, freed people from the shackles of communism in east germany and former soviet states. Other countries are guilty of inaction.
Someone desperately needs to crack open a history book. You've bought the propaganda hook-line-and-sinker.
