The Orange County Sheriff’s Department in Orlando, Florida, is now planning to use two drones over Orlando this summer. As to how they would be used, no clear plan was given to the public. That is not surprising, but warrantless surveillance of all those in that area, and who knows what else, is now likely to begin soon.
Jeff Williamson, the spokesman for the sheriff’s department, did say that the drones would not be armed. That should not comfort a single citizen, as any plan to use drones domestically by federal government agencies, the military, or local and state police, is an exercise in tyranny. There is no limit as to what uses might be employed, as it is now “legal” for this evil government to assassinate any American on the say so of one man, and without any cause or due process. So how on earth can they be trusted?
I have written about this subject many times in the past, and while this particular story is not surprising in the least, it is a picture of what is to come all over the United States. The initial risk will certainly be concentrated more in urban areas, but as happened in North Dakota last year, none of us will remain immune to this state invasion for very long.
Killer drones are already much in use in the U.S., especially along the Mexico/U.S. border, and more than 60 applications to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) by local and state agencies have already been filed. The projected number of drones in the skies of America is supposed to reach over 30,000 in just the next few years. That means that the entire country will be under constant surveillance or worse in the near future.
As I mentioned earlier, Williamson would not divulge how the drones in Orlando would be used, and there is a reason for this secrecy. So long as exact explanations are not forthcoming, virtually any changes, including arming these potential weapons of mass destruction, can be made by those in control before or once they become active.
Any who think that their local officials and police who are desperately attempting to gain full drone use capability are no deadly threat, then think again! First, no agent of the state apparatus should ever be trusted with this kind of power. But the bottom line is that nationwide drone use is being aggressively planned, and is under the full direction of Congress and Barrack Obama. The local element is just an extension of federal power.
Don’t be fooled by the dishonest excuse by state officials that this plan is to ensure local safety. That is a lie! It is simply a form of incrementalism that has the objective of massive expansion of power and privacy destruction. That expansion if allowed to take place, will lead directly to a total police state.
This assault on all the rights of individuals comes right from the top. It comes from the worst criminal element in the world, that being the United States federal government and its henchmen in uniform. If this massive drone deployment is allowed domestically, no one will be safe from spying, and no privacy will remain. It will only be a matter of time until the FEMA camps are filled with all those who actively dissent or promote dissent. Who will be left to protect liberty when those brave enough to stand up to the State are gone?
