On February 14th, 2012, the FAA Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act of 2012 was signed into law by Barrack Obama. This new legislation will set the stage for unlimited domestic drone use by this very corrupt and very powerful government, and its agencies. George Orwell must be rolling over in his grave!
These new laws applicable to domestic drone use are located mainly in Section 332, The Integration of Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems Into National Airspace System, Section 333, Special Rules For Certain Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and Section 334, Public Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Make no mistake about it, this will allow over time the government agents of force the “legal” ability to blanket the skies of America with unmanned surveillance drones, drones that will have the full capability to spy and to be armed on demand.
The continued destruction of our rights, especially our right to privacy, and our right to due process, are literally being eliminated before our eyes. The sheep don’t seem to mind, which of course is normal, but the acceleration of this assault on our liberties has now reached a level that makes it unrealistic for any society in this position to claim freedom as its ambition.
Without going into deep detail at this time, this new law mandates that the FAA begin allowing the use of small drones (under 4.4 pounds) by government agencies, including law enforcement, within 90 days. In addition, the agency must overhaul its drone regulations by September 30, 2015, to allow more widespread use of drones by private parties. While this may not seem threatening to most, many of these “private parties” will most likely be government contractor firms with the mission to spy for the government. This legislation will help to fast track approval for these parasite firms to gain entry into this market.
Considering the massive scope and size of this horrendous legislation, the potential, or more likely probable, implications of this monster are endless. Virtually all limits are removed so that the government has no impediment in its drive to watch and control the entire population at large, and at any time or place it chooses. I might mention here, that these aircraft will be given Class G status, which is use in uncontrolled airspace. Class G is used wherever other classes are not, and covers the surface to the face of all the overlying airspace. In other words, these aircraft can go anywhere without any Air Traffic Control oversight, which means secrecy without consequence!
I am constantly bombarded with the idiotic notion that if I have nothing to hide, then why worry about being spied upon. Those who believe this nonsense should now quiver in their nation-state worshiping boots, because with this technology, nothing on this earth will be unseen, and nothing in life will be sacred. Why does the government want this capability? Because knowledge of all gives total power to the tyrants, and results in slavery for the rest of us!
I choose not to be subject to state spying! I choose not to be trampled on by this evil and heinous government! I choose to be free! Those who accept this kind of treatment deserve nothing!
