NY, NJ lawmakers demand feds stop gaslighting, start shooting down drones: ‘Gone too far’

Shoot to kill.

A growing chorus of local officials in New Jersey and New York are demanding the feds stop gaslighting locals and finally shoot down a drone.

Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) demanded Saturday the Pentagon open fire on one of the nearly 1,000 drones that’ve been spotted above the Garden State since Nov. 18, so answers can be had.

“Why can’t we bag at least one drone and get to the bottom of this?” Smith wondered aloud during a press conference in Seaside Heights. “Why can’t we even track a suspect drone to its origin? Have we so little control over our airspace?”

His demand came just hours after New York Gov. Hochul declared it’s time to take action. “This has gone too far,” she said in a terse statement Saturday announcing that she asked federal authorities to authorize local police departments to shoot down drones.

They echoed sentiments already expressed by concerned citizens and even President-elect Donald Trump, who said he wants the feds to shoot a drone out of the sky. “Let the public know, and now,” Trump urged. “Otherwise, shoot them down!”

The rising rhetoric comes on the heels of more alarming sightings.

Stewart International Airport in upstate Newburgh closed its runways for an hour Friday night after two drones were seen overhead. The commercial airport is adjacent to a New York Air National Guard base, where the 105th Airlift Wing is stationed.

New Jersey’s largest utility, PSE&G, petitioned the FAA to halt all air traffic over two of its nuclear power plants — after drones were recently spotted over the sensitive sites. It is the first time the company has made such an appeal.

Most disturbing of all were accounts out of the Jersey Shore, where the military provided credible reports. In one, a 47-foot Coast Guard cutter was tailed by 13 to 30 drones on Dec. 9, the military branch confirmed.

They were alerted to the drones over the Atlantic by the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office, which actually deployed its own drone to track the 50 mystery aircraft. Shockingly, Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said the law enforcement drone could not keep pace

The reason they haven’t been intercepted and destroyed by NORAD is because the US feral government is the party deploying/operating them.

Let’s go my fellow Jersey voters! Note how your government is acting and switch to MAGA, do it! We need to be red in 2028!

Some have said our tech includes a way to “capture” a drone such as in the Middle East or elsewhere and study the reverse engineering finds in it.

Maybe not with the great soundtrack, though.

Also, an airport in NY state had to close for an hour due to drones flying in its airspace.

The drones are ours. So "we" are having fun with them before January 20th.

Or they belong to China. And they paid off Joe Biden to look the other way.

Maybe they haven’t shot any down because they don’t have a way other than shooting millions of dollars worth of missiles to take them out.

Lunacy. Sheer Orson Welles War of the Worlds, panicked buffalo being stampeded off a cliff lunacy.
Make sure you don’t fly your 172 or Bonanza at night anymore for a while. The gullible morons are waiting to open fire on everything they see at night.

It’s like a scene out of the old Johnathan Winters film “The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming”.

As with that group of sailors taken over, the Dem President would probably order our side to surrender to the drone.

Jan 13, 2016 — The photos show the American sailors with their hands raised to their heads and on heir knees, while Iranian forces boarded the two US boats.

I hadn’t heard that and I live on The Jersey Shore, roughly 30 miles southwest of Asbury Park.

Ironic in a way. I’m currently reading a book on how German Uboats used the Jersey Shore for a shooting gallery.

It took a long time for the USN and the Coast Guard to get hip to the notion that letting cargo ships cruise up and down the Atlantic seaboard with running lights ablaze was attracting U boats.

Sure is convenient that we have never seen anything like this before until the weeks before Trump takes office.

The drone “invasion” they are orchestrating is going to be used as a false-flag to declare martial law and prevent Trump from taking office.

I saw a video on Telegram that looked real. A guy in Jersey was firing at one with tracer rounds. It looked like he got a couple of hits with no effect. Lends validity to the holographic theory.

What if adequate helicopters with substantial cargo nets, suspended under the chopper, fly through a flock of drones and then examine them? Just a thought.

This whole thing is really insane. It should be investigated.

But Elon Musk is eerily quiet on this particular topic which is interesting to me. It seems to me he knows something.

yeah that’s my thinking.. It’s an op with the goal to change public opinion. Who’s op..well that’s a good question.

It tells me that the US feral government is the party deploying/operating the drones and Musk probably supplied them.

I think the reason the governments of the world refuse to shoot one down is pretty obvious.

If you think these operators haven’t been doing IPB for almost a century, you’re mistaken
