Whistler Blowers, Insiders
they already declared the united states is battleground there for anything a citizen says /does /spells can be an act of aggression which is combative against the united states..
Can you believe we need a LAW to prevent Obama from killing Americans with impunity and no oversight? Wow.
“Can you believe we need a LAW to prevent Obama from killing Americans with impunity and no oversight? Wow.” – yeah.. totally believable.. logical extension to the patriot act.. what>? you been asleep for the past decade? wake up dopey!
The Patriot Act was based on false pretences, 911 was an insider, kid. Are you gonna say that you didn’t know that?
of course 911 was not as officially described mark.. or kid… everyone knows that..
my reference to patriot act was that it was implemented under the bush admin.. banderman seems oblivious to any outrageous govt acts pre obama..
anything else? or you done bein stupid now…
Unreal isn’t it Banderman. The best fiction writers of all time couldn’t make this stuff up.
Orwellian, and then some. Sad, sad, sad.
You need a ban to not kill your own citizens? Um,…
Either You have banned it or you haven’t banned it. You can’t say you banned Drone strikes on Americans and then in the same breath say you can use drones to strike Americans who are engaged in combat.
We all know how the government lies. Just have to look at the FBI lies surrounding Boston bombing. The FBI has all kinds of “evidence” against the Boston Bombers, although nobody has seen it.
So what makes anyone think the Government will not kill with drones and then say the targets were in “active combat” with the U.S.?
There is NOTHING to be happy about this. They ARE going to use drones on Americans.
Not sure it looks very believable — that pic of a drone supposedly firing so many missiles at a time, with one poised to strike it’s own nose.
Hahaha, it’s Photoshop, but the artist is trying to convey that its going to be like a free-for-all. You can see the actual rockets under the wings of the Odrone.
