Big Brother is circling above us. Look up and give 'em a one finger salute I say!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The unmanned planes – some of which may have been designed to kill terror suspects – are being launched from locations in 20 states.

A clear violation of Posse Comitatus.

time to do a little skeet shootin’

[muir_redwoods]

The only one in New England appears to be just over my home in CT. Is there a link for the actual locations and who’s running the launch sites?

[Lazamataz]

Note that this information comes to us via the UK press.

It is officially time to evacuate the United States of America. I am doing all I can to get out, now.

Nothing your father's light sabre can't handle.

Add a pressure switch, stock and scope and you've got fun, fun, fun. More range than a 12-guage, too.

“Federal Aviation Authority”

Any article that doesn’t get that simple name right is suspect as being from kooks.

The map shows 2 over Austin and 1 over San Marcos.

Someone is really curious about the happenings in Central Texas.

Note to self: No more midnight skinny dipping this summer.

Obama Admin: The War On Terror Is 'Over'

There's no need for these things. There are no terrorists.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Is there a drone in your neighbourhood?

Yeah--my brother-in-law.

Just curious, but what qualifies this as breaking news?

[The Great RJ]

Orwell's 1984 is here with sinister black helicopters perhaps soon with a Thought Police monitoring our very thoughts for any dissent.

I think we all could use some of these active drones for perimeter defense and to dispatch rioters and looters.

[Vaquero]

there is no ‘U’ in my neigborhood

[Eleutheria5]

If you have a demonstration and get out of line, the drone will come down and rifle butt you in the face. Either the chief of staff or the chief of police or their aunt Fanny will then suspend the drone from active command for two years, and people all over the world will be expressing either outrage or support for the drone.

Drudge picked up the article with this feature headline:

EYE IN THE SKY

63 SPY-PLANE LAUNCH SITES IN 20 STATES...

[HiJinx]

Interesting - I have at least a Battalion’s worth of active UAVs operating right here, as well as at least a half dozen UAVs sitting in the museum.

A major UAV manufacturer has facilities right up the road from my office.

And the line about ‘some of which have been designed to kill terrorists’ refers to the fact that Predators carry Hellfires. Doesn’t mean that they do, in the U.S., just that they can.

Time for tin-foil hats, folks?

People have no idea how how closely our government monitors us. Mainly because they just don't want to know. They'd rather stick their heads in the sand and pull it out when they want to watch TV so it can numb their mind for them.
