Drones the silent assassins versus the U.S. Constitution’s amendments 3, 4, & 8.

Quite simply, drones are used to execute individually or en masse, while accomplishing the secondary goal of spying and the tertiary goal of inducing fear.

Elected officials, in the case of Arkansas, Senators Mark Pryor & John Boozman, accompanied by Congressman Steve Womack go about the business of securing a drone base to replace the 188th  Fighter Wing as if the drone base will be nothing more than a religious encampment.

Fort Smith, Arkansas’ major news outlet, the Times Record, prints stories embracing the drone mission, but avoids specifics, as is the case with politicians, about what exactly is the “drone mission”? The T.R. has long since devolved into a politically correct instrument for government/corporatism.  The paper is owned by the Stephen’s Group, one of the largest corporations in America, controlling editorial policy and wire service news content.  One would hope that the T.R. would be an organ of debate and truth-seeking instead of favoring the new killer of choice of the Pentagon.

More & more operation centers are opening across our fruited plains.  Information states these centers are air-conditioned offices for soldiers to apply their newly acquired killing & surveillance skills. The remotely piloted aircraft are controlled by the military unit at a base from a virtual cockpit by a two person team, a pilot and a sensor operator—assassins in absentia. 

In very recent times fixed wing fighter aircraft were used in combat against identifiable opposing forces.  This type of warfare was honorable & heroic by the fact the combat was in the open, each could be seen by the other combatant and one or more of the combatants could often withdraw if they chose.

Not so with drones.  It should be remembered before detailing some thoughts on the use of drones that a military person does not have to carry out any order that is unconstitutional. The concern here is the designation of 30,000 drones that will overfly the whole of the U.S. in addition to global coverage.  The Times Record, politicians and other self-servants bloviate that the 188th Drone Missions will create in the neighborhood of 1,000 jobs—no, not jobs, government warring positions. Again, no probing or concern as to the ultimate results of the terror in the skies, i.e. drones.

The “mission” that is spoken of is spying on Americans, instilling fear, and silently assassinating Americans.  Recently the U.S. Senate & House of Representatives gave the Pentagon authority to create a network of highly trained, completely unaccountable U.S. assassins with “Kill Lists”…those lists are expanding daily, there are also secret “legal opinions governing the use of drones in targeting assassinations”.  The individual soldiers sitting in their cubicles operating the joystick and sensing devices are nothing more than cowardly hired killers and those politicians & others associated with drone operations are accomplices in murder, spying, and fear mongering.

“We’ve been preparing for this conversion just like normal (just like normal?) ever since General Mark Welch came to visit here in January,” said Major Heath Allen, 188th Public Affairs office.  Allen’s position is the same as the rest of officialdom, secure the government positions and to hell with the mental & physical destruction the drones will produce in America.

A sobering statement made by A.F. General Mark Welch on his recent tour of the 188th, “A great mission and a growing mission that will be a big part of the future”.  General Welch is a madman for what he and others are advocating: their collective unconstitutional behavior (violating the 3rd, 4th, & 8th Amendments) but also stating that murder & surveillance is the coming order of the day, i.e. a terminal U.S. national lockdown.

For Americans to tolerate the barbaric conduct of the U.S. government, the U.S. military, and the underlying bureaucracies is proof-positive that our nation has lost the concepts our Founders laid down hundreds of years ago.  We have shown our abject stupidity by electing incumbents for decades and allowing them to make our once revered republic a global laughing stock and a purveyor of destruction under the guise of installing “global democracy”….Observe! (Senators Boozman 18yrs, Pryor 18yrs, Reid 30yrs, McCain 30yrs, Hoyer 32yrs, Schumer 33yrs, Boxer 30yrs, & the beat goes on.)

Again, anyone connected with the U.S. Air Force’s Drone Program operating in the U.S. is a traitor to the Constitution, our heritage and Western Civilization.  Local policing agents are acquiring drones and their battle cry always…it’s security and the (faux) war on terror…while our elected congressional & senatorial traitors refuse to demand enforcement of existing laws that would ensure border security.

Citizens, by default have given the federal government and its vast number of instruments the ability through the use of drones to wipe out all semblances of U.S. freedom.  For those of you who still sing “Let Freedom Ring”, you are indeed comatose.

Unless the political landscape is constitutionally changed, i.e. removal of Democrat & Republican incumbents and underlying bureaucracies, we can no longer call ourselves a Constitutional Republic”.  I am not speaking in terms of years, it is the now.

In the Arkansas’ just completed General Assembly the newly minted Republican majority, with all their glorious conservatism, are offering up a bill to extend term limits to 16 years.  Question: why would an individual want to spend 16 years in some elected capacity?  And by the way, this is the same group that voted to install Obamacare by declaring to put 250,000+ more Arkansas residents, not necessarily citizens on welfare for life, while Obamacare Navigators, Guides, & Certified Counselors are being paid $48 per hour.

Human lives are not video games.

Addendum: This day a political cartoon entitled “Americanized Drones” appeared in the Times Record…an adroit propagandizing & indoctrinating drawing of a giant wasp with emblazoned on its face the words DOMESTIC SURVEILLENCE, in the space in front of its head was printed JUST EYES, behind his stinger was printed NO STINGER.

What a clever piece of deceptive brain-washing. We are to believe “Americanized Drones” are different from those used abroad, you see, it’s quite alright for government eyes to observe every aspect of your home and physical being and of course an “Americanized Drone” would never ever contain a laser stinger that can fry you like an egg in a skillet.  No, no, not in Amerika!  Do you believe that?
