Congress Approves 30,000 Spy Drones Over America As US Police State Tightens

Tim Watts | Intel Hub | February 9 2012

Once again, another shocking story that threatens the personal privacy of US citizens has been kept from us by our politicians and the mainstream media.

Did you know that a bill, HR 658, the FAA Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act, has just passed both the House and the Senate which authorizes the use of 30,000 spy drones over America by the year 2015? Like the anti-Posse Comitatus NDAA legislation that passed in November, this bill was not widely reported by the mainstream corporate media.

Do not feel bad for not knowing about this, because, similar to the anti-Constitutional NDAA legislation, they purposefully tried to hide this from the American public. The corporate controlled mainstream media was once again complicit and was an integral accessory in this crime against “We the People.” The corporate mainstream media failed us all miserably once again.

Think about the enormity of this for a second… 30-THOUSAND drones flying overhead, surveying the US. If you divide that by 50 states, that is 600 drones per state! Most states don’t have even one-third of that in counties, so 600 drones, or more per state is a bit overwhelming. And considering that some state are very small, such as Rhode Island and Connecticut, it won’t take that many to spy on those diminutive territories, leaving far more drones to cover the larger states.

This is an outrage, plain and simple. If you’re not pissed off about this, you’ve got shit for brains. There is no good reason why we should have 24/7 surveillance of American citizens. Of course the advocates for creating this intensified police state will proffer that this is needed “to fight terrorism,” but let’s examine that issue for just a moment.

We’ve only had two successful acts of terrorism in the US, both happening well over ten years ago. It’s not like we’re under a constant monthly or weekly barrage of terrorism, at least not from foreign threats. We’ve been terrorized by our politicians and our media plenty, far more than we have from foreign entities. That’s an undeniable fact. Again, just look at the record.

We had the 9/11 attacks in 2001, and then shortly after we had the anthrax attacks. As we look at both of those events, there is an incredible amount of evidence that points to a false flag operation, state sponsored terrorism by rogue factions within our own government, blamed on a foreign entity. See the NewsFocus reports on the 9/11 attacks and the anthrax attacks.

These plots succeeded solely because of US officials and their dereliction of duty, yet our Constitution and “We the People’ are the ones who have been made to suffer. The highly flawed 9/11 Commission admitted as much.

Senator Mark Dayton excoriated the Commission panel over bald faced lies in their report that attempted to cover up the numerous failures of protocol on that fateful day. Our top officials failed to do their jobs on 9/11, yet no one was demoted in rank and no one was prosecuted for their egregious ineptitude. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld all failed to act appropriately, and in fact, acted suspiciously outside the norm of their designated duties.

As far as the anthrax attacks go, they were actually tracked to a US military facility, at Ft. Detrick, Maryland. That’s right, the anthrax used in the attacks was made in a US Army lab. Once that story became public, they shifted their blame from foreign terrorists to designated patsies within the US defense structure. The story died immediately.

So, with all of this in mind, we have only had TWO “alleged” successful terrorist attacks in this country in eleven years time, and both were highly suspicious events that have been attributed to false flag attacks from rogue officials with the US government, yet for some reason, we keep passing law after law that rescinds our Constitution and Bill of Rights, to set up a virtual police state in the US.

Does this honestly make any sense to you?

For what it’s worth, we are actually fomenting terrorism with our highly bogus, bst War On Terror. We have formally invaded and brutally attacked three countries without provocation, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, plus we’re also bombing Pakistan and killing scores of innocent civilians there as well.

This reporter’s take is, TPTB are trying to escalate terrorism to justify their fascist takeover of the United States. They’re literally trying to piss off foreign entities to pick a fight. Again, they’re attempting to justify their assault on “We the People,” to establish a police state lockdown in America. This isn’t about fighting terrorism folks, it’s about keeping us under their heel, under a 24/7 watch.

Look at what’s happened in just the last few months… Congress passed the NDAA Act behind our backs, authorizing military use on US soil against American citizens. At the same time, President Obama has enacted the SIP, the Strategic Implementation Plan against domestic “extremism.”

If you speak out against the government for criminal activity, or for egregiously attacking our Constitution, you can legally be considered an extremist and a terrorist. Bad news for you, because now you can be hauled away and imprisoned for life, without a trial or your Habeas Corpus rights.

FEMA also has drawn up a new Contingency of Government plan that incorporates offensive military definitions and criteria that can be used against “We the People.” Add to this the fact that the FBI has enacted new absurd terrorism identifiers that make us all suspects. (Having more than seven days worth of food in your house makes you a terrorist suspect. Please see my three-part series on the NDAA legislation.)

What is most unusual about the vote for the new drones over America bill (HR 658) is it was very much a partisan vote, with Republicans being the primary supporters and Democrats staunchly voting against it. You can see the roll-call of votes below if you doubt this. The house vote was very close, with 223 yes votes and 196 no votes. Sadly there were 13 reps that decided not to vote on the bill.

The real curiosity is that the vote in the Senate was overwhelmingly in favor of the bill, with only 20 Senators voting no. Most of those voting no were Democrats. Still, how does the Senate vote highly in favor of such a horrific bill, while the House is nearly split?

I’m starting to think that maybe the research from the 2011 University College of London study is actually correct. They proffered that people tending to be conservatives have a much larger amygdala. What does that matter? According to the study, the larger the amygdala, the more susceptible the brain is to being scared. At face value that seems ridiculous to this reporter, but in light of the Republican-led attack on our Constitution, through the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, the Homegrown Terrorism Act, and now the recent NDAA, the SIP and now HR 658, I’m seriously beginning to wonder.

To be fair, there have been Democrats involved in the passage of the bills as well, but the support has far and away been Republican led. That is disturbing to see one party so closely tied to usurping our Constitutional liberties in this country.

If you think that having 30,000 drones over America is going to make us safer, you’ve been watching too much TV. How do these drones know who is traveling in a particular vehicle? How do they know if a sleeper cell has suddenly become active, or if a group has successfully infiltrated the country?

Would these drones have stopped the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing? Would they have stopped the 9/11 attacks? Would they have stopped the anthrax attacks? The answer to all three of these questions is a resolute NO, because US authorities were asleep at the wheel, or complicit in all three of those events.

So how will 30,000 drones over the US keep us safe from terrorism? Maybe a better question is, how might 30,000 drones be used to enforce a police state of American citizens. The latter is more chilling and offers far more possibilities for TPTB.

The bill is worth $63.4 billion dollars, so it will be interesting to track the money on this one. Considering that we are in such a dire economic crisis, it is interesting that they deem it necessary to spend $63.4 BILLION dollars at this time.

Another disturbing thought, these drones can remain airborne for up to 50 hours at a time. What perils does this offer for air traffic safety, by adding 30-THOUSAND new aircraft to our skies? The FAA has nine months from the bill’s signing to submit a plan to safely allow access for the drones.

The fact that our corporate controlled mainstream media failed to report on this, as they failed to do with the NDAA legislation, ought to tell you that they are working with TPTB. No other conclusion can be made. They have been complicit and willing participants in these anti-Constitutional attacks on “We the People.”

This reporter advocates naming them as accessories to the crimes of state, for they are sharp enough to ferret out the real story, yet they refuse to do so.

One side note on HR 658… it also allows for GPS control and landing or aircraft. This is actually supposed to be the major impetus for the bill, with the drones as a secondary component. The GPS aspect is somewhat troubling because of the magnetic shifts that have been occurring on this planet.

The geomagnetic poles have undeniably been moving, so much so that airports have had to re-designate runway coordinates and adjust their GPS instrumentation. I would hope that with this in mind, they have implemented proper safeguards to account for this documented scientific anomaly.

In conclusion, it is very clear that a police state has descended upon America. If you doubt that, you have not been paying attention. The agenda for the New World Order has been furthered tremendously in the last decade since 9/11, and even more so in just the last year. NWO advocate Senator Jay Rockefeller said the bill is “the best news that the airline industry ever had. It will take us into a new era.”

You have to seriously ask yourself… with only TWO incidents of actual  successful terrorist acts since 2000, why is our government moving recklessly with such EXTREME measures to counter a threat that does not present itself to us as on a daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly basis?

George W. Bush absurdly said after 9/11 that the terrorists hated us for our freedoms. It would appear to this reporter that it is the powers that be who truly hate our freedoms. Foreign terrorists did not take our freedoms away. Our politicians and government officials have done that, and they did it because Americans were too lazy to pay attention to what has been going on in their own country.

We are the most overly entertained society the world has ever known. There is a reason for that. If you keep watching the boob tube and continue to ignore what our elected servants are doing to us all, pretty soon you will be watching “Amerikan Idol” and “Goosestepping Mit Der Stars.”

What is happening in America today is far worse than Nazi Germany. Just because you still get to watch the idiot box and shop at Wal-Mart does not mean that you are free.

Time to wake up America. It’s time for all good men (and women) to come to the aid of their country, while you still have the chance to do so.

  1. Didn’t the Iranians just hack into the control system of a drone and land it on their territory? This would seem to be a danger to us and an opportunity for terrorists to use these flying bombs agianst us.

    1. Hi Gold Dog! Yes, they did! And, of course that adds another layer to the craziness unfolding at this time. Thanks for your comment. Blessings ~G

  2. I’d like you to post just one link to where you’re seeing that 30,000 number. Or one place you see the word “surveillance” in the bill.

    I followed the ACLU link you provided and it talks about THE POSSIBILITY of unmanned aerial surveillance and how that would be bad, but I haven’t found anything about authorizing government spy drones.

    Provide any proof of your claim, please.

    1. This is not my claim, Casey. Please contact your Congressman and Senator for confirmation of these statements. Blessings, Gillian

      1. Wait, what?

        You ABSOLUTELY made that claim when you made a post with the headline “Congress Approves 30,000 Spy Drones Over America As US Police State Tightens”.

        I’m asking you to provide some evidence for these 30,000 drones YOU claim that Congress has approved.

        Specifically: Where in HR 658 does Congress authorize funds for 30,000 unmanned surveillance drones?

        (To be clear: I’m a lefty. If you ask my coworkers, they’d claim I’m 3/4 socialist. But this kind of sky-is-falling fear-mongering is best left to the other side. If you can quote some passage, I’ll gladly apologize and grab my pitchfork and stand next to you.)

  3. Thanks for posting this. Thinking people are sickened, but we’re less than 10% of the population.

  4. If this is true, then the people should come after the factory where these are made.. We cannot allow this reckless government to bully us!

    1. Hi John! Unfortunately, it IS true. The government is, without a doubt, out of control and filled with contemptuous disregard of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Blessings. Gillian

  5. Hey, I’m at the Library of Congress website now reading the actual bill. It’s huge. Can someone point me in the right direction? Where is the actual text concerning the drones?

    1. Do a document search for the term “unmanned aerial surveillance” That means “drone.” There are too many sections that include that term for me to enter into the comments area on this blog. Blessings. ~Gillian

    1. Hi Bob. I downloaded and searched the document and cannot find any reference to “drones” either. However, in this article http://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security/congress-trying-fast-track-domestic-drone-use-sideline-privacy they reference “unmanned aerial surveillance” (to which NUMEROUS references exist in HR 658) as alternatively being known “drones.” So while HR658 does not use the term “drone,” these are indeed discussed within the bill. Hope this helps. ~Gillian

  6. What the hell, congress really needs to read over the Constitution a couple hundred more times!

  7. At this point, I’d like to believe that the US government is preparing themselves for an uprising. This shows me that they are in fear of their citizens and loosing control over their empire. I for one hopes that an uprising happens. Unfavorably though, with the actions corporations and the government have taken within the past 20 years, I can see no peaceful resolve to this anymore. American citizens have sat on the side lines and slowly watch as our freedoms have been taken away one by one, and have gladly given them up too. Our country is a zit, and it’s finally getting a disgusting head on it. It’s time to pop it before it festers anymore.

  8. Drone Shooting ! A new sport ! I Like It ! Thumbs Up Sam. Count me in. Freedom Works, 4 Those Who Choose!

  9. I see a new hobby being born here.
    Considering that drones are, by definition, ‘unmanned’ and that by buzzing over your head they are in fact invading your space, property or even personal safety (you don’t know the intention of every UFO …. perhaps it’s a terrorist missile…!?!?), I wonder what the legal situation would be if you shot one down. I mean, theoretically you are not harming anyone. As for public property, these drones are difficult to distinguish from a terrorist bomb, right? I see a new hobby being born. Maybe even an International pass time and future Olympic sport… drone-shooting!

    1. Hi Sam! Love your sense of humor. The ridiculousness of invasive technology definitely reaches new heights with this latest assault on humanity’s freedom. Today AMERICA. Tomorrow – THE WORLD! Makes you wonder if the sickness infecting global leaders is an occupational hazard or prerequisite for the job! Thanks for commenting. ~Gillian

    2. Do you think shooting randomly into the air is less a public hazard then a UAS? Those bullets land somewhere, and probably not back on your yard. Engage brain prior to opening mouth.

      1. Hi Phil! I think the comment was tongue in cheek. Not actual advice to be followed by any sane person. Blessings. ~G
