“[Drones are a] game-changing technology, akin to gunpowder, the steam engine, the atomic bomb—opening up possibilities that were fiction a generation earlier but also opening up perils that were unknown a generation ago.”—Peter Singer, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution
America will never be a “no drone zone.”
That must be acknowledged from the outset. There is too much money to be made on drones, for one, and too many special interest groups—from the defense sector to law enforcement to the so-called “research” groups that are in it for purely “academic” reasons—who have a vested interest in ensuring that drones are here to stay.
At one time, there was a small glimmer of hope that these aerial threats to privacy would not come home to roost, but that all ended when Barack Obama took office and made drones the cornerstone of his war efforts. By the time President Obama signed the FAA Reauthorization Act into law in 2012, there was no turning back.

If you wonder how Agenda 21 will be implemented, read this article. They will use the micro-drones mentioned to take anyone out left in an area deemed off limits for habitation.
That sounds extremist. And so do preppers in general. But on the other hand, politicians have secure underground bunkers with years supply of food and a medical staff on duty. Plus I have never seen evidence that Agenda 21 is not marching along subversively in its own time frame.
Funny, I was just thinking about how Fl’s famous flying roaches (palmetto bugs) would make perfect drones.

If anyone wants to be on or off the Agenda 21 ping list, please notify me by Freepmail. It is a relatively low volume list in which we have been exploring the UN Agenda21 and related topics. We have collected our studies with threads, links, and discussions on the Agenda 21 thread which can be found here:
