Perhaps I did not make the point of my question clear. Why now? Why after years of satellite imagery and aerial surveillance are we concerned about drones? This stuff has been going on for years. Why all of a sudden is it a concern?

If the sheeple have been putting up with the surveillance and video taping before, why would the introduction of a new platform to do the same thing cause an uproar now?

I know the Agenda 21 issues and they too have been around for decades. What is it about the drones that is different this time?

The military has over 7000 drones now so your figure seems way off...
I have seen the figure 30,000 drones in about 20 years....

look at this drone about the size of a bug.....

it's called escalation -

using your reasoning, one shouldn't be alarmed if, after years of neighbors back yeard BB-Q's, SChool celebration bon fires, a house burning to the ground here and there - and now a fire is raging in the forest and the flames are coming over the mountain towards town - what's the big deal. Fires have been around for years.

there comes a point when the line is crossed and if not pushed back, you are going to get rolled over....

I'm at a loss to understand your non-concern...or purported lack of seeing any problem with 3,000+ drones to soon be monitoring our every move. It only makes sense if perhaps you agree with Agenda 21?

Good grief! You’re right. I remember that - I guess my mind just couldn’t hang onto it - It’s so insane.

People should be screaming from the roof tops...

30,000 drones - that’s an average of 600 per state. Enough to monitor your every action, your every hour. Blow your nose? It’ll be duly noted.

No, my reasoning is people should have ALREADY been alarmed. The time to start pushing back was decades ago.

Armed police officers with automatic weapons have been in police helicopters for years. So why all of a sudden does this make people nervous. Seems to me that we the people should have put a stop to this long ago.
