FAA Has Authorized 106 Government ‘Entities’ to Fly Domestic Drones

Since Jan. 1 of this year, according to congressional testimony presented Thursday by the Government Accountability Office, the Federal Aviation Administration has authorized 106 federal, state and local government “entities” to fly “unmanned aircraft systems,” also known as drones, within U.S. airspace.

“We are now on the edge of a new horizon: using unmanned aerial systems within the homeland,” House Homeland Security Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Michael McCaul (R.-Texas) said as he introduced the testimony.

My god, this guy sounds straight out of the Reischstag. The "homeland"?? He can't say the United States? There are too many yes-men, citizens willing to gladly surrender their freedoms for what the government calls our "security". These same APPOINTED (not elected) civilians have now assumed authority that "we, the people" NEVER intended them to have or exercise. BUT, the ones we DID elect SWORE on a Bible to uphold and defend the Constitution. Instead they are, daily, doing everything they can to shred it like a tattered flag in a hurricane. Keep voting. Its working great so far....

And the violent acts that justify the drones keep occurring.Recent incidents of mass murder within our country,committed by US citizens.Digest that for a while.Any and all technological means will be approved to prevent further pre arranged disasters from occurring.Conspiracy? Of course.Mind control?Certainly.The humans are the drones that we need to fear the most.
