Here is an interesting opportunity. The manufacturers of
drones continue to press congress for appropriations to purchase thousands of
drones to spy on Americans. There is even a ‘drone caucus’ and they accepted
millions in donations to their political campaigns.
The opportunity is to see how many media reports are
generated about illegal aliens and the need for drones. I have no problems with
drones patrolling our borders and think it is a great investment. However, the
real agenda is to generate public support for drones, without realizing that
the overwhelming majority of these drones will be used far from the border.
Drones will ‘patrol’ our city streets. It seems creepy to think about cameras
that are virtual spy satellites.
My issue is not necessarily about the widespread use of
drones. My issue is Congress enacting laws to specifically enrich certain companies.
Our opportunity is to watch for the media reports about the sudden need for
thousands and thousands of drones that will be purchased with our taxes.
