An extreme overhaul of the FAA (Federal Aeronautics Administration) was recently passed by the Obama administration, that will use satellites to assist with air traffic control. The wrangling over this bill took 5 years, and there were 23 temporary bills passed to keep the FAA afloat during all of the controversy. In fact, the FAA was shut down for 2 weeks at one point, just because of the acrimony.
What were the sticking points that took so long to pass? First, there was the issue of ensuring air traffic safety. People in the air are vulnerable, and there was much debate on whether to use satellites and new technology, when older, more stable manual process had a solid track record. But there were other issues and agendas in this bill as well.
One of them involves the tracking and use of drones, unmanned aircraft, in the United States. The Federal government wants to use drones for various things, and so does law enforcement. Law enforcement wants drones for air tracking of various thugs and thieves in their surveillance measures. A little drone in the sky isn't as easily noticed as a squad car on the street.
But the drones are also wanted by Federal bureaucracies. The EPA wants them, to track what they may think is illegal waste dumping on private property. The department of Agriculture can use them to hover over private farm land and snap pictures of crops, acres used, even water consumption. Get the picture? Big brother is about to really watch you, because the uses of drones by government are virtually endless. And who are they intending to watch? You!
So who voted for this piece of legislation? Actually, local Republican Cory Gardner did. It joins his votes for the continuation of the Patriot Act and the NDAA debacle in his hall of infamy. Make no mistake. Just because somebody is a Republican, doesn't mean they are for freedom and true liberty. Check it out for yourself. Then ask yourself what the difference is between the Republican and Democratic candidates. Sometimes, there won't be much difference at all. And that is the huge tragedy. Because of the, Big Brother is watching you.
America is gone; however, there are still Americans.
Americans WILL restore America.
When will we do this?
When there is no longer 1st Amendment rights?
When there is no longer 2nd Amendment rights?
When there is no longer 10th Amendment (oh wait, that's already happened)?
How long will we let ourselves be pushed around?
When do we stand up and fight?
WARNING: This government is destructive!
