Uncertainty on drone sightings -- Caitlin Johnstone

Submitted by fire with fire on Sat, 12/14/2024 - 11:36am

Summing up her detailed review of the "news" of drones flying over New Jersey:

The US government is either knowingly lying to the public about its own UAVs or those of a US defense contractor, or it somehow legitimately does not know what these aircraft are, who they belong to, or where they are taking off from and where they are landing. It’s hard to imagine how the latter scenario could possibly be the case after all these weeks with all the technology the world’s most powerful government has at its disposal for monitoring objects in the sky — but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not true.

For now, I myself am content to not know. It’s not often we get to enjoy major news stories about a complete mystery these days, so I’m going to relish this one while the mystery lasts. With all the dark, ugly things that we do know about what’s going on in our world, it’s nice to have a big strange question mark hovering around in the air for a bit.

Big Strange Question Mark Hovering Around-- We live in a culture in which our highest governmental officials have regularly been accusing each other of crimes for the last several years. Legitimacy has evaporated, even as an ideal.

Chaos rules over the skies of America.

Texas too, and not too many miles away from us.

Liberty County sheriff warns against shooting down drones

Heh, it's Texas so of course the folks have to be warned not to shoot them down.

since no one is to destroy or investigate per authorities.

NJ Drone 'Invasion' Just In Time For Congress To Reauthorize Orwellian Law

It's coincidental that last week, a Homeland Security joint subcommittee held a hearing on H.R.8610, the Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act. This bill would renew and reform counter-UAS legal authorities and strengthen the FAA's oversight powers of drones.
...
"The reason we need legal authority is that without it, use of the most effective types of drone detection and counter-drone technologies could violate criminal laws, including those that prohibit destroying or disabling aircraft in flight and intercepting signals and communications," said Brad Wiegmann, the DOJ's deputy assistant attorney general for national security.

With current drone-countering authorities set to expire on Dec. 20, the sudden surge in purported drone sightings and the accompanying MSM and social media panic might make a bit more sense—as an effort to push for the reauthorization of Orwellian drone laws.

reminds one of the hype about a Chinese
weather balloon blown off course and shot
down by fighter jets. Paranoia runs deep.
Perhaps this is just a set-up to blame it on aliens?
Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

There are actually tactical maneuvers going on in
space for counter attacks against unfriendly satellites.
Laser tech, weaponized assets, etc. Not much in the gnus
about that of course. The US space force is secret - secret
stuff. Billions in spending, unaccountable of course.

This sounds more-like another diversionary tactic.
What? You saw something going flash in the sky?
Aliens! Squirrels in space suits! Hypersonic drone tests!
Don't buy it.
