Drones over American cities...Conspiracy theory to OPEN REQUEST BY DARPA. Say what??

Yep. Within the space of a couple decades we went from people talking about seeing black helicopters and drones in towns all over America being called the most vile and nasty names, to those people not only having been proven right, but also to the government now calling OPENLY for the right to patrol American citizens from the sky with drone air forces.

A personal anecdote for you...

I used to be one of Maine's most notorious "Letter to the Editor" guys. I constantly got letters into Maine's dailies during the first half of the last decade of the 20th Century expounding on the evils of the non-"Federal" No-"Reserve" SCAM "System," the Trilateral Commission and CFR, the illegal and UN-ratified 13th and 16th Amendments, etc. BUT, after my letter was published in the Lewiston Sun-Journal (our 2nd-largest daily) back in early 1996 showing clearly that Lt. Gen. Ben Partin (USAF, retired) was correct that an ANFO bomb could NOT have been what took down the federal building in OKC, everything changed.

That next day, in downtown Livermore Falls, Maine, I had a black Apache helicopter (probably send from Fort Drum)--with no markings on it-- HOVER OVER MY HOUSE FOR A COUPLE MINUTES. It was low enough that I clearly saw the pilot wave to me in a creepy fashion. This was witnessed by plenty of people in my neighborhood, as well as by a bunch of people at a nearby playing field. It was reported in the local paper, The Livermore Falls Advertiser, in their next edition, etc. SO, IT WAS VERY WELL DOCUMENTED that it had happened.

Shortly after that, I was informed that my letters would no longer be accepted at Maine's largest papers. I started hearing the terms "black helicopters" being used by the MSM, and late night comics, as a term of derision, etc.
AND NOW...we have this:

Here is a key excerpt from the above link:

"By 2025, enormous military-style drones – close relatives of the sort made famous by counterterrorism strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq – will be visible 2,000 feet above U.S. cities, streaming high-resolution video to police departments below. That is the bet that multiple defense contractors are placing, anyway, as they race to build unmanned aircraft that can pass evolving airworthiness certifications and replace police helicopters. And if that bet pays off, it will radically transform the way cities, citizens, and law enforcement interact.

We are now seeing various trends beginning to dovetail into what could become the ultimate in military presence over the United States. As I recently reported, new A.I. algorithms are being devised that look for emotional indicators in an attempt to predict crime and social unrest. The 'Eye in the Sky' system, developed by Cambridge University, seeks to use small Parrot drones to identify 'violent poses' in crowds."

Even George Orwell in his dystopian NIGHTMARE, "1984" didn't see this one coming...although he did predict video cameras EVERYWHERE, the internet "memory hole," total tracking of an individuals' attitudes and values (in the Google/Chicocm "social credit score" style) etc. This is beyond the pale, folks.

If we allow this to happen WE ARE NOT AMERICANS, pure and simple!!

Start writing those letters to your Congressional "representatives" and making those phone calls.

It may not help, but at least you can tell your grandchildren you did SOMETHING to prevent the dystopian NIGHTMARE we are almost, now, totally inside of, anyway.
