Justifying The Droning Of American Citizens, We Are All Terrorist

by Guerilla Girl Alexis The Pete Santilli Show & The Guerilla Media Network

Former Drone Operator for the military’s Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) say’s “NSA uses electronic surveillance to locate targets for lethal drone strikes”.

The National Security Agency is using complex analysis of electronic surveillance, instead of human intelligence as the main method to locate targets for lethal drone strikes. this results in deaths of innocent or unidentified people. The agency often identifies targets based on metadata analysis and cell-phone tracking technologies, instead of confirming a target’s identity with operatives or informants on the ground. The CIA or the U.S. military then orders a strike based on the activity and location of the mobile phone that they believe the target to be using.

The drone operator, who agreed to discuss the top-secret programs on the condition of anonymity, was a member of JSOC’s High Value Targeting task force, which is charged with identifying, capturing or killing terrorist suspects in Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan and elsewhere. His account is supported by whistleblower Edward Snowden and by a former drone sensor with the U.S. Air Force, Brandon Bryant.

The NSA, “geolocates” the SIM card or handset of a suspected terrorist cell phone, allowing the CIA and U.S. military to conduct night raids and drone strikes to kill or capture the person in possession of the device. There is really no telling if the target individual is the targeted individual or an innocent bystander. One problem, he explains, “targets are increasingly aware of the NSA’s reliance on geolocating, and have moved to thwart the tactic. Some have as many as 16 different SIM cards associated with their identity within the High Value Target system. Others, unaware that their mobile phone is being targeted, lend their phone, with the SIM card in it, to friends, children, spouses and family members”. “They would do things like go to meetings, take all their SIM cards out, put them in a bag, mix them up, and everybody gets a different SIM card when they leave,” the former drone operator says.

He goes on to say, “Once the bomb lands or a night raid happens, you know that phone is there,”. He says. “But we don’t know who’s behind it, who’s holding it. It’s of course assumed that the phone belongs to a human being who is nefarious and considered an ‘unlawful enemy combatant.’ This is where it gets very shady.”

The former operator also says, “he personally participated in drone strikes where the identity of the target was known, but other unknown people nearby were also killed”. “They might have been terrorists,” he says, “Or they could have been family members who have nothing to do with the target’s activities.”

“The Obama administration is in high-level discussions about staging an operation to kill an American citizen involved with al Qaeda and suspected of plotting attacks against the United States”, a senior U.S. official tells CNN. Why would this even be an option?  We have ground informants that could tell the whereabouts of the terrorist, why do innocent people need to die?  These questions are being asked across the U.S. and also in other countries.

Obama states, “There’s no country where we have a no-spy agreement,’ but US will protect privacy rights of citizens of other countries.”
 

The bottom line is, the U.S. Government will stop at nothing to label every single person in America and beyond a terrorist, domestic or foreign,so they can have complete authority to spy into every aspect of our lives. When will enough be enough, America?
