Here we see the overreach of the government and law enforcement rear
its ugly head again. Why do they fear us? What are they looking for?
Unbridled surveillance of society can only result in a totalitarian
regime. Why would you need to know everything about everyone? So you can
crunch the numbers and determine who the enemy is. You mean we have
enemies among us? We do now. When did the enemy arrive? When the government labelled them as POTENTIAL domestic terrorists and dissidents. They've always been here, we just didn't notice.
The featured article highlights the need for accountability and
oversight to the people regarding drone surveillance. The article shows
that local police have been using drones for the past 5 years (at the
least). Here are a few excerpts.
"The belief that the federal
government was using drones to conduct domestic surveillance inside the
United States, though, could get a person labeled a paranoid lunatic as
recently as 2012."
"What did Feinstein know that the FBI wasn’t
telling us? Perhaps that the federal government gave local police
departments $1.2 million to spend on drones that year."
"There
are too many federal, state, and local agencies with too many
surveillance aircraft to pretend any longer that aerial spying is rare.
There is too little oversight to presume all these government entities
are acting legally."
