Remember when all the "I saw some suspicious guy with white powder around the mailboxes on the street" sightings stopped when President George W. Bush signed the USA Patriot Act into law on October 26, 2001?

Before that tons of ''Heroes'' were seeing them.

Ah. Darn. Here's little ol' me overthinking everything.

I was sure it was Regime-Left having an oopsie and trying to clean up lost pop-rocks while Regime-Right took the opportunity to hype up our impending Prateck-Da-Jooz! campaign courtesy of Crusader Hegseth (he's got lots of experience conquering people's Holy Lands, y'know).

The urbanized power centers of the American Empire already have static radiation detectors. You never hear about them, but I recall a lot of Cold War hysteria over Russian "suitcase nukes"... no chance that a nuke would go undetected near NYC and the home ports of the US Navy.

I wonder what will come of this legislation. I say this because I didn't know the Deep State was worried about other people's drones. Outside of commercial use they are limited to hobbyists with real money. Naturally, the GAE's sudden and extreme determination to take control of drones is rather disturbing given the benignity and rarity of large drones.

Most of the bill is a renewal, so not scary. The parts I quoted, however, are a major centralization of power... only one man in USA decides whose drones are legal... which means, only one of GAE's mutually hostile factions will get to use drones against all the other factions.

That's why this is worth the expense of a "UFO invasion" of drones. They're twisting the law from something impartial into a faction-loyal weapon.

It's not about We The People's drones. It's about CIA drones versus Cartel drones versus Antifa drones. We The People aren't even in the room anymore.

I hadn't even looked at it that way. I'm so used to Fed vs Us that it hadn't occurred to me...
