droning on about fighting wars remotely

Is tide turning on sentiment towards fighting wars remotely with robotic drones? Nick Turse, TomDispatch.com Associate Editor, takes closer look at use of drones in HuffPO article, "The Drone That Fell From the Sky," and doesn't feel same uncritical awe, expressed by many media outlets! "Its [drone] technology is fallible and its efforts have often been counterproductive in these last years," concludes Turse.

Recently, the drone has gone into a protective shell. "After years of regularly ushering reporters through drone operations at Creech Air Force Base and getting a flood of glowing, even awestruck, publicity about the glories of drones and drone pilots, this year, without explanation, it shut down press access to the program, moving robotic warfare deeper into the shadows," reveals article. What are reasons behind move? Has security been breached? Joseph Farrell shares his impression in brief Rense article, "The Drone," "...it seems to me that someone wanted Iran to have this drone". Is it also the reason the sky seems to be raining drones lately?

corbett report radio #22: false flag scenario - drone attack on US soil

James Corbett suggests next false flag, possibly, drone attack on United States in recent Corbett Report Radio broadcast. Corbett reminds listeners, last year, US Navy drone - a Fire Scout wandered over Washington DC airspace. Also, the recent report that software at Creech AFB, NV running drones hit with virus infection. Iran also reported capture of CIA drone within its borders. Finally, the precedent-setting arrest of US citizens in North Dakota, this summer, after drone assisted in intel gathering. Corbett suspects, along with many others, the table is set for a false flag with any number of varied plausible denials. The denials could range from Islamic attack by Iran with a cloned drone or one hijacked through "software glitch". The present writer can only agree and drones could be in skies above your cities soon! Corbett Radio Report #22 is persuasive and a must listen!

virus infects creech afb systems piloting attack drones overseas

An attack drone killed Anwar Al-Awlaki, an American citizen, late last month. Now, computer systems at Creech AFB, NV, which run drone missions overseas, are infected with a virus, reports Danger Room article, "Exclusive: Computer Virus Hits U.S. Drone Fleet". "'We keep wiping it off, and it keeps coming back,' says a source familiar with the network infection, one of three that told Danger Room about the virus. 'We think it’s benign. But we just don’t know.'” The security status of the drone operation is summarized, "...specialists don’t know exactly how far the virus has spread. But they’re sure that the infection has hit both classified and unclassified machines at Creech. That raises the possibility, at least, that secret data may have been captured by the keylogger, and then transmitted over the public internet to someone outside the military chain of command." What's next? A false flag op with commandeered drones, remote piloted by Islamic terrorists?
