Drone Legislation Needs No False Flag

Most Americans would want restrictions on drone traffic, get real!

One of the most annoying persistent and frankly dumb theories about the drone swarms is that they are just one big false flag to get lawmakers to extend “Orwellian” drone legislation.

The second dumb theory is that all the drones are just “airplanes.” First of all, airplanes don’t hover. Second, military drones often look like airplanes. (See the photo above of 2009 military drone…imagine how far they’ve come since then.)

Given that unknown drones the size of busses are a clear danger to, well, everyone, and that military drones are commonly used to drop bombs…is it really reasonable to expect no drone laws? To expect that our government would just let these things fly around without restrictions?

So why are people claiming they’ve “solved” the drone problem with their theory that this was all a big act to get Americans to support more drone legislation? Who the hell was against drone legislation prior to this? Pretty much nobody cared prior to this other than some drone hobbyists, who now have to get a license to fly larger drones.

The drone hobby lobby is not strong enough to warrant an all out aerial assault on Jersey just to get some legislation passed.

Rarely, well, never that I’ve seen, do these inflammatory click-bait engagement farming posts explain exactly what part of the pending drone legislation is Orwellian…or something that wouldn’t have simply passed quietly on its own.

In fact, the drone drama has put this legislation more at risk because now people know about it. Without the drone kerfuffle, Congress would have passed the legislation without fanfare and we’d be none the wiser.

I mean, let’s say for argument’s sake that the government wanted to scare you into supporting more drone controls. Simply crashing one solo drone into an elementary school would have done it. Not all this craziness.

But really, do you think the federal government really gives a shit about what you think anyway? Do you think they need to scare you into passing every little bit of controlling legislation? The reality is, most Americans are asleep and don’t care, and creating a drone scare of this magnitude would be a stupid waste of resources.

Furthermore, we do need some restrictions on drones. Like it or not, that idiot Biden put us at war with Russia. We cannot have rogue drones flying over reservoirs, power stations, and military installations in our homeland.

Look, I’m strongly libertarian-leaning, but even I’ve got my limits. We can’t have people driving automobiles without at least some basic training (resulting in a license). Similarly, creating a licensing system for large drones also makes sense. It’s common sense.

No, I don’t think Americans have some inherent “right” to fly car-sized drones over my house without some sort of training and resulting license.

Most Americans would agree with me, I guarantee it, and if you had done a poll prior to the current drone fever, Americans would have already been in favor of better oversight of large drones.

Look, I get that we need to be vigilant against state overreach. But I have yet to see an intelligent analysis of what exactly is in these bills that is so potentially alarming that the government would swarm dozens of drones in from an ocean-based vessel just to cause a panic!

Think, people, think!

So…why are people pushing this nonsense?

One, it’s a quick and lazy way to get traffic. People love a “government false flag” narrative.

And I also think “lazy” has a big thing to do with it. A lot of the so-called “conspiracy” influencers just like to bitch and moan to get views and donations, but they also disempower in the process. The message is: The government is in control of every goddamn thing, and you can’t do anything about it. Bullshit!

Seriously? If you feel that strongly about drone rights, then start up an organization to fight for drone rights. Like the NRA for drones.

But finally, I honestly think a good portion of online conspiracy psychology is now centered around wanting everything to be fake. Because it’s far more comforting to believe that the US government or hidden Illuminati is making fake viruses, or fake drone sightings, or fake whatever, than to believe that we are truly at risk from something outside our government’s control.

In other words, people like snuggling with their Conspiracy Blankie.

We consume just enough doom to keep adrenaline going, but shield ourselves from potentially harsh realities…like the possibility that it’s actually a foreign hostile like Russia sending drones to our doorstep.

You want the best evidence this is likely either outright aliens or even worse, Russia or a proxy like Iran? Other than my post yesterday explaining the connection between the Jersey drone swarm and Biden approving ATACMS against Russia, no one in the media or government is talking about this obvious connection. I saw one person mention the November 18 connection in a comment on the New York Post. That’s it. Yet the government hasn’t considered the potential retaliation of Russia as a factor here?

Remember how quickly the Pentagon “shot down” the intel that the drones were Iranian? That’s more likely what they are covering up.

Far more likely than “drone legislation”: Our government is worried that it’s Russia or Iran or China, and if they admit they’ve completely lost control over our airspace, we’d have a mass panic.

And they also can’t point fingers as that escalates and potentially makes things worse.

Now, if you want to put your Conspiracy Blankie back on and just believe the drones are a harmless distraction, by all means, do so. But if you are in the vicinity of New Jersey, I’d recommend stocking up on some basic supplies and have a go bag ready by your door.
