POLITICALLY INCORRECT, CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE ON CURRENT NEWS EVENTS
THE DEPT. OF HOMELAND SECURITY IS EQUIVALENT TO A BOTTLE OF TABASCO SAUCE IN A DONUT SHOP.
As a former drone pilot and enthusiast, I know a little bit about this subject. I bought my first drone years ago, a small basic machine for beginners. A few years later, I did some trading and ended up with a DJI Inspire which is a very large drone, very popular with Hollywood for filming action shots. Very fast, great camera, and dual controls so you can fly, and your co-pilot can man the camera. Very powerful, able to lift 3.5 lbs. It has a range of just over 1.5 miles away from the controller. I have flown many times by camera only, the drone was out of sight. That will make you a little nervous with a $4,000.00 aircraft.
To fly a drone of that size, you have to be an FAA licensed pilot. There are two classes of pilots. I had a sports pilot license. I was not allowed to fly over people or traffic, and I could not market my photography taken during flights. If you are using your drone for commercial purposes, you have to have the same license as a manned aircraft. Then you can fly at night, above populated areas and trafficways. You can also market your photography, which is totally amazing.
I chose to sell my drone because of the new laws and regulations that were coming out requiring me to affix a transponder to my drone so it could be tracked and identified by the FAA officials. The rules were going to continue to become stricter in the future on drones of that size. There has even been discussion in Congress to outlaw DJI drones from being sold in the United States. DJI is the world’s leading drone manufacturer, and they are made in China. The concern is that the very sophisticated software the drone uses can be used by the Chinese for spying. When you register the software to control the drone, it is connected to your email address. This is concerning.
So, the reason I told you all of this, is because all of these laws and regulations are only good, as long as law abiding citizens are willing to comply. If you are not a law-abiding citizen, then you can operate whatever you want, whenever you want until you get nabbed. Exactly like gun laws and driver’s licenses. The average person complies with these nonsensical rules because they don’t have the money or time to fight with the Feds.
The Feds cannot identify the drones flying around New Jersey, because they are illegal, flying without transponders. That tells me immediately that they are rogue pilots intentionally breaking the law so they can’t be identified. That is also an indicator they may be up to no good. This flys in the face of the story the FBI and Homeland Security are telling you. John Kirby is saying today they don’t believe they have any malicious intent. He can’t know that, because he has no idea who is operating them. Also, they haven’t been able to identify the operating system used to control them. You can’t jam a signal if you don’t know what it is.
These are the same people that allowed a Chinese spy balloon to fly across the Pacific, entering our airspace in Alaska, and allowed it to continue it’s flight unimpeded almost all the way across the lower 48 before taking it out with a missile. I think they only reason they destroyed it, was due to the mounting public pressure. Otherwise Slo-Joe would have just let the damn thing drift off over the Atlantic. I’m sure he didn’t want to upset those folks that greased his palm for years.
These drones have been operating in the New Jersey area since mid-November. It is now mid-December and they still have no clue as to what the hell is going on. This doesn’t give me a “warm and fuzzy” feeling. Is the FBI, Homeland Security, and the Military really this inept. I told you earlier my drone would lift 3.5 lbs. These drones are much larger than the one I owned; they could probably lift upwards of 10 to 15 pounds or more. That is one hell of a lot of sophisticated explosives. I would be very nervous if they were flying around my neighborhood.
Here is another point for you to consider; My drone was small compared to these, which are over 6′ in diameter. My drone fully outfitted with accessories was over $4,000.00. A drone of this size can cost upwards of between $20-50,000.00. So, who can afford to fly these many drones with this kind of a price tag? I am watching this with great interest to see how the geniuses in our so called “Homeland Security” and the FBI deal with it.
Well folks, you can rest easy toight knowing that the Federal Government is watching the borders and the skies, keeping you safe from intruders.
