The White House declared on Monday that drones spotted over the northeastern United States are operating “legally and lawfully.”

This statement comes amidst growing public concern and demands for transparency, fueled by President-elect Donald Trump’s call for answers regarding what he termed “an alarming mystery.”

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby attempted to downplay the situation, attributing the sightings to “commercial, hobbyist, or law enforcement drones, all operating legally and lawfully,” while noting that some reports may have been misidentified aircraft or even stars.

Pentagon Press Secretary Major General Pat Ryder held an off-camera, on-the-record press briefing on Monday and addressed the issue with a barrage of carefully worded statements, admitting that military bases have reported drone incursions but emphasizing that such incidents are not unusual.

“ Or CIA drones. The CIA is not part of the military.”

Yep. The Pentagon spokesperson kept saying they were not “US Military” drones but refused to say they were not American drones.

This is the Deep State demonstrating its power against "we the people" because we elected Trump.

We didn't really think they would just quietly and peacefully accept the election, did we?

But they won’t tell us anything a bout them - which means they made a secret deal with someone to do what would be illegal to the rest of us...

These drones are legally and lawfully shutting down airports?

Liberals have gotten away with lying for sooooo long, they can't even detect their own contradictions.

If drones showed up hovering around DC landmarks or the homes of the governing elites what would they do? Prolly take swift action.

*************

You make a very interesting point there my FRiend. What we are seeing could well be some type of sub rosa deal/pact with a secretive non-governmental entity. That possibility is a very disturbing one.
