to Remove Obama from Ballot

The State Has Declared War On
The State Has Declared War On The American People
U.S. citizens are now the primary target of the war on terror

With the announcement that 30,000 drones are expected to fill American skies within ten years, the U.S. government has officially declared war on the American people, turning to technology normally used to hunt down insurgents abroad as the whole arsenal of the war on terror is re-focused domestically.
“The Federation Aviation Administration said up to 30,000 drones could be in airspace shared with airliners carrying passengers,” reports UPI.
Once signed by president Obama, the FAA Reauthorization Act allows for the FAA to permit the use of drones and develop regulations for testing and licensing by 2015.
Some types of surveillance drones are already being used by police departments across the country, including in Montgomery County, Texas, where the Department of Homeland Security recently gave the go-ahead for law enforcement in the United States to deploy the ShadowHawk mini drone drone helicopter that has the ability to taze suspects from above as well as carrying 12-gauge shotguns and grenade launchers.
US law enforcement bodies are already using drone technology to spy on Americans. In December, a Predator B drone was called in to conduct surveillance over a family farm in North Dakota as part of a SWAT raid on the Brossart family, who were suspects in the egregious crime of stealing six missing cows. Local police in this one area have already used the drone on two dozen occasions since June last year.
The DHS also recently announced a plan to spend up to $50 million dollars on a spy system that has been used to hunt insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan for the purposes of “emergency and non-emergency incidents” within the United States.
While preparing the use of surveillance drones against Americans, the U.S. government is also keen to characterize a myriad of behaviors and activities, no matter how normal or mundane, as potential indicators of terrorism, encouraging citizens to spy on each other in a chilling throwback to how people were hired as informants under the East German Stasi.
As part of its Communities Against Terrorism program, the FBI is encouraging business owners from across the spectrum to spy on their customers.
Lists of examples of “suspicious behavior” being sent out to everything from Internet Cafes to tattoo parlors define things like paying for a cup of coffee with cash, buying food in bulk, and showing an interest in online privacy as evidence of potential terrorist activity.
The DHS has also released numerous PSAs that depict routine activities as potential signs of terrorism, including using a video camera, talking to police officers, wearing hoodies, driving vans, writing on a piece of paper, and using a cell phone recording application.
The federal agency attracted much derision last week when it announced that Super Bowl vendors, including hot dog sellers, had been trained to spot terrorists under the First Observer program.
Even more chilling, the feds have also begun to characterize perfectly legitimate political and economic beliefs as those held by terrorists, effectively denouncing them as thought crimes.
As Reuters reported on Monday, authorities are now treating those who “believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard” as extremists who are a potential violent threat to law enforcement. The DHS has also previously characterized returning veterans, Ron Paul supporters, gold investors, and people who display political bumper stickers as potential domestic terrorists.
All this serves to underscore the fact that the American people have now been targeted as the number one terror threat in the eyes of the authorities. The state has declared war on U.S. citizens. Not only will they be subject to surveillance and intimidation campaigns, but with the recent passage of the indefinite detention provision of the NDAA, the government has afforded itself the power to hold Americans without trial.

Although I support the Patriot Act, I am less supportive of drone in our Domestic Skies. If the drones were used to monitor border security and routes known to be used by drug traffing and illegal entry, the drones are OK. To use drones over our cities is overkill. Any type of surveillence activies can be done just as well with satellite activity and radio towers.
Law enforcement used helicopters to follow subjects. Drones could be used in the same capicity becuase of thier increased techonology abilities.
But an estimated 30,000 drones flying around our local skies will create safety concerns for airtraffic.
I would say limited use is ok or drones that fly higher than our commercial jets out of the flight paths. But the overall concept should be used for extreme circumstances.

Looks like TRex can shelve his “Eye In The Sky” program, and maybe find a better use for $90K/month?

I agree. More patrol deputies in black and whites patrolling the high crime areas. Searching parolees and probationers is where the money should be spent. Once a crook, always a crook, and those are the people who need to be contacted over and over again. 90K pays for a lot of more effective police work.

I will agree with you on that. Plus the Patriot’s Act should be dumped along with the power of federal policing except along borders and in highly regulated situations. The best security is more black and whites and boots on the streets. Your local cops are better trained to know what is going on in their community and on the streets.
We just need to have laws protecting our Constitutional rights. I am more than sure that the police are quite capable of working within the workings of the Constitution. If you talk to cops in the street, a vast majority believe in the Constitution and consider the implications in their day-to-day functions in law enforcement (yes, there are bad eggs in law enforcement as in any organization and they should be removed).

“Once a crook, always a crook”
This can also apply to the great Mayor, can’t it – since he has his own personal rap sheet, apparently.

Calling the mayor a crook is pretty harsh. When looking at the improvements in Lancaster, they are a vast improvement from what it used to be. The ghettos and the low income criminal element are being torn down north of the Blvd. and new low cost senior housing is coming is. There are people spending money on the Blvd. and using the new park to the north.
If REX is guilty of anything, it would be the manipulation of funds for political paybacks. The favortism towards LBC and Visco bothers me. LBC, although I don’t attend, has a college, more revenue for Lancaster and the college is growing.
The positives from REX out weigh the negatives. He is doing more good than bad.

I don’t really care if he’s a crook or not – but some people who live up there think he is.
Your statement was quite stunning tho, Avbb – saying that you do not believe any “crooks” can be rehabilitated — like the Mayor did.

The Patriot Act needs to be used at the Federal level to monitor communications around the world. It is part of the intelligence gathering that lead to Osama getting blasted and the other terrorist. Monitoring suspected terrorist on our domestic soil should be conducted. They are dangerous and should be eliminated from our society before they commit some other terrorist act.

Rehabilitation success rates are very low. A crook who was blue collar, will find work. A gang member who made bucks in the gang world, will not settle for working minimum wage. He will go back to gangbanging. A white collar crook who picked up soap for everyone in the shower, will never want to go back to jail, and will take what ever job he can to keep from shower duty.
Dope users always go back to dope, which leads to crime.
No early parole is the best solution. Cutting the thumbs off of taggers is the next best solution so they can’t hold spray cans which in return will save the tax payers millions if not more.

The 50,000 prisoners released from our California prisons, will soon find their way back to jail. Will unemployment rates high and the nature of crooks to go back to what they know, most will get arrested and sent back to the slammer, which is now a revolving door. California is a great place!

Wanna see something really trippy? Ever watch the Terminator movies? Remember SKYNET? Go ahead and Google SKYNET and see that it isn’t just from a movie. Read the PDF 9 links down the page from Stevens Institute of Technology about
a “G-enabled mobile attack drone and stealth botmaster!”

That is why we need to keep Republicans in charge. The Dems will start to monitor and make sure all of us have healthcare, then Skynet will wipe us out if we don’t comply.

“The Patriot’s Act should be used overseas.” I would agree. We already had that capability. That’s what the NSA does. You have the bumbling CIA (thould should be rebuilt from the ground up as Foreign Intelligence Agency) DIA and the countless others. I have no problem with the CIA/NSA monitoring foreign nationals within our borders. These are limited and well defined powers. The patriot’s Act is poorly written and gives too much power to the federal govt to suspend the Constitution on false grounds. there’s too much room for abuse (which we’ve seen since the days of J. Edgar)
As far as Rex and Lancaster. No question that he moved Lancaster foreword something that the ‘maintain the status quo bozo’s like Frank Roberts and the buffoon Henry Hearns did.
But do the ends justify the means? While Rex did good, his methods border on criminality. His relationships with the insiders is corrupt. He, along with Frank Visco and Jim Gilley should have been indicted years ago.

Neither the Republocraps nor democraps represent we-the people. They are both controlled by the 1%er’s.
The only difference between the two parties is that Democraps have bigger dicks and the rupublocraps are bigger dicks.

Avborn.. Your posts are usually right on target and smack of common sense. You must get frustrated answering/commenting on the posts of the unintelligent bloggers like roxi, aka DBW, marsh and cineff.

To the paranoid govt. and the 1% are scared because of the OWS movement, the Tea party and a general disatisfaction of the public is the reason they are going to fill the skys with drones.
Roxi is dumbest of the lot Billy, followed by the gobbler and the Field Marshal.

While law enforcement observation may indeed become a major use of UAVs (“drones” in this story), it is far from the only application of UAVs, and the FAA announcement this story is based on really has no connection with law enforcement use per se.
Unmanned aircraft of all types are a hot technology, with the ultimate evolution leading toward unmanned aircraft right up to cargo haulers and possibly eventually even passenger planes. So what this announcement by the FAA is all about is that after many years of study they are committing to moving forward on comprehensive regulations and technology that will allow UAVs to safely operate in America’s airspace with conventional manned aircraft.
So my recommendation is that before you put on your tinfoil hats, spray-paint out your windows and drape camouflage nets over your houses, take a deep breath and step back.

Too late. My tinfoil hat is firmly attached to the top of my head, my windows are blacked out and the camouflage netting for the roof is on order.
You are correct as far as the advancement of technology goes. No matter whether is home electronics or whatever. People are generally afraid of new technology.
The problem is that with ALL new technology, it opens the door for govt. abuse. Our govt (all govts. in general, actually)historically abuse technology and use it against the people. It’s a power thing. It goes on in this country ever since the get go. it is incumbent on we-the people to monitor our govt. and keep control of them—not the other way around. Whether you believe it or not, there’s another J. Edgar Hoover lurking around every corner in Washington just waiting for their opportunity to strike. We-the people need to be better stewards of our govt. Sadly, this is something that we have failed to do for a very very long time. We did not heed the warnings of Jefferson, Franklin et al who warned us. Hell, we didn’t listen to Ike when he left office, he warned us directly about the undue and unwarranted influence of the military industrial complex. Let’s not forget, he was a 5 star General who new exactly what the hell he was talking about.

AVTC you hit it on the nailhead. And BTW J. Edgar Hoover was a dress wearing gobbler, I know his nephew David Hoover which we suspected of being a closet gobbler like his uncle.
In fact some of the worse leaders in the world were closet gobblers, Hitler is alleged to have been a gobbler.
And look at the fat fool gobbler Barney Frank, another traitor and crook.
Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein and Obama to name a few democraps scare the hell out of me.
Pelosi with her lying big mouth is the most dangerous, afterall this overaged nutcase called the Tea Party and the Minuteman groups extremists when in fact she and her cohorts are all the real extremists.

Where a technology has the potential for abuse by others the key is to control the potential abusers rather than the technology.
As AVTC points out, we-the-people need to be better stewards of our government. Sadly, collectively speaking we the people will always vote for the guy who promises the impossible or panders to our narrow personal interests and will grind into dust anyone who might have the eggs to tell the truth about what should be done.
The fact of the matter is that in a democracy the majority is not always right. And Cybertariat, before you offer perfect socialism as an alternative, that also goes for the massed proletariat.

“The fact of the matter is that in a democracy the majority is not always right.”
That’s why we’re a republic as such we have the Supreme Court and the Constitution to protect the minority from having the majority vote away their rights.

I agree. Pelosi scares the bejesus out of me.
