Army, Marines, Navy - all boots on the ground. I was speaking metaphorically. I agree with you. The problem is we are moving towards a system that depends on computer hackers, algorithms, and similar for intelligence. Drones are an extension of the plan.

There was an unclassified report I saw a few years ago that touched on the information overload. They monitor everything we say. I've accepted that. There is no privacy.

They filter the oceans of data based on keywords, patterns, and other complex algorithms. These guys were tasked in an exercise to try and intercept intelligence from suspected "bad guys". A modern war game. The "bad guys" simply dropped letters in the US mail. The "good guys" were so busy snooping email and ISP's and hacking that they missed the most obvious method of communication.

Say there is a coup and then a revolt and the people want to take back power. If millions of people sent emails with certain words in them it would overload their ability to filter valid intelligence from chaff. If I sent text messages with those words - same result. And finally if everyone picked up the phone and started chatting and repeating those keywords. Their recourse is to shut the system down. Now they have zero intelligence. You and your Wolverines now communicate old school, which leaves them powerless. Maybe its a CB, UHF, or morse code.

Last month there was a story about a guy who determined if you tape a black paper triangle to your face it renders the algorithm for face detection useless. Expect them to outlaw black triangles any day now.

The CSI stuff is BS. Boots on the ground. (or in the sky or at sea).

BTW at the ranges these people are talking about a 12 ga shotgun will take a drone down. If that does not work you follow the drone home and take out the operator.
You sure you are a leftist!?

Now I know why I never liked that song.

There is an old saying (if not, I just made it up) "The more complex the system the slower it reacts and the easier it is to confuse or take down". Better to confuse your opponent with false info than take it away. You can gain precious time while he is figuring out his data is false than the warning provided by the data stream shutting down.

Just remember the old ways of communicating such as hard wired telegraph or telephone, messengers on motorcycles or just plain couriers still work. So do old fashioned codes based on page, line and word of specific books. The goal is to get your message through and the action taken before the opponent has time to decode and act on the information. You can also send false information with the intent that it be captured and used.

Anyway, just because they are watching does not mean they understand what they are seeing. Do what you have to do but make it look like you are doing what you are supposed to be doing.

If this will all lead to more and more prisons, to house the "bad" guys, I'm all for it, as it's been said our prison costs will evenutally bankrupt this country, and the quicker the better! Then? We start all over from ground zero!

Exactly. The only difference between the two parties is in which aspects of the Globalist New World Order will be implemented. Conservatives implement the warfare state. Liberals push the welfare state. Both are designed to take away people's liberty.

I had a conversation with my mom and dad about these drones the other day. This was their same response. I about came unglued. I told them to read 1984 and some history books.
