A
government report reveals testing in Oklahoma of drones with sensors
that can find people and even tell if you are carrying a weapon. It's
happening at a remote site near Fort Sill.
The publication Homeland Security Today says the testing is taking
place at the Oklahoma Training Center for Unmanned Systems operated by
Oklahoma State University. The group doing the work is "a trusted
agent" of the federal government. [full]
Only
mass demonstrations will help now. Actions that depend on an
informed
nation who will, almost spontaneously, rise and threaten
government at the
local and national level. That scenario pretty much
describes the
early Tea Party, and more than explains the irrational response
from
Democrats to it. I say irrational because what scared all of them
were
people who, while angry, civilly confronted elected Democrats
with
questions at town meetings; questions they could not answer.
Historically this type of revolt are led by the young; the college
students who understand through class discussion and assembly the
nature and magnitude of the threat. So much for that.
Let me confess here that I was among those who initially
applauded the
Bush Administration's sharp reaction after 9-11. The
restructuring
of national security services into The Department of Homeland Security.
The very name made me cringe, but yes, I was a cheerleader
for this smothering blanket of government control over
every aspect
of our lives.
Whether by bad luck or contrivance, Barry Obama inherited that
infrastructure Homeland Security have become Obama's
promised "private army," and we are in his thrall. That leaves us with
but one option;—throw them all down a volcano. Sigh. A
nasty business that will be, but
necessary.
