They are Obama's favorite weapon. They can move together in swarms, build towers, dance, throw and catch, assess targets and soon will even make their own decisions. Both in war and at home, drones are developing fast and gaining control.
The screens at a US air force base lock onto a civilian car driving along a road in New Mexico. "We don't simulate or actually engage them, it is just training to follow a moving target." The question, "with their permission?" is met with an embarrassed pause and the faltering reply, "we're just following them with a camera".
Rapidly becoming acceptable practice, increasingly police are also using drones to survey civilian areas for criminals. The US air force are now training more 'desk pilots' than traditional pilots, raising concerns that war is becoming "just a big computer game", allowing pilots to kill a few Taliban fighters and then go home for dinner.
Nathan Wessler, a civil rights lawyer, strongly argues that the US using drones to kill targets in countries like Yemen despite not being in a state of war with them could lead to serious repercussions. "It is really a dangerous precedent. The technology of drones is not that complicated and there are dozens of nations developing it."
And these robots are advancing. Future drones will be able to independently find targets and decide to attack. As Iran lays its hands on a US spy drone, which experts in this report argue they are "perfectly capable of copying", has an uncontrolled new arms race already begun?

Re: Attack of the Drones - USA
Information on how to fight against drones is already appearing. This already feels like something out of Orwell's book "1984". Rather than fight against the weapons that will be used against us, we should be focusing our efforts on the head of the snake -- the government "leaders" that are controlling this agenda, and even more importantly, the hidden sociopaths that pull the strings of those leaders. We should go after Obama, and make him squeal on the real power that controls him, because Obama is just a patsy.

Re: Attack of the Drones - USA
The use of drones overseas is just practice for the use of drones at home. Will they care if innocent people are killed on our own soil? To answer that question, check to see if they care about innocent people being killed overseas. Only 5 out of 535 Congressional "representatives" had any interest in hearing the pleas of an innocent family whose grandmother was blown to bits by a drone while gathering vegetables from the family garden. 99% of Congress didn't even care enough to show up.

Re: Attack of the Drones - USA
Its so pathetic, how much more obvious can it be that the sociopaths are involved in a global agenda, destroying nations, pointing citizens as terrorist to bait their victims into their matrix delusion of world conquest. Homogenizing, amalgamating, lying, Insidious...
