The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
Government officials have stressed that the drones reportedly sighted since mid-November pose no immediate threat, and do not appear to be part of any attack. One military official speaking on background said that if intelligence analysis had shown the aerial objects were foreign or military in nature, the military could bring sophisticated sensors and weapons to bear. In February, U.S. Northern Command dispatched an Air Force F-22 to down a Chinese spy balloon over the United States. But the FBI is in charge of the more recent incursions—suggesting that U.S. agencies suspect a domestic cause.
If there is no risk from these supposed drones, then why even discuss shooting them down? But on what data are you basing your claim that there is no risk? The incredible fiasco of the Chinese spy balloon does not fill me with confidence that our military knows what the hell is going on. The damned thing flew (or drifted) across the entire country, and THEN they shot it down? Was that stupidity? By plan? Either one is damning. But the reflexive nonsense is guaranteed to make most people just a little bit suspicious. "We have no idea what is going on, but we are confident that there is no threat." That tells me that A) the speaker is an idiot, or B) the speaker is lying. Of course this is the Biden administration, so it is entirely possible that both A and B hold true. As for having the technology to down drones? Sure...maybe it works. Maybe it doesn't. The Russians seem to be having a tough time with Ukrainian drones, and that is a war! But if we really do have the technology, then why not trot it out around a few major airports that have issues with drones being flown too close. Shoot the f*ckers down. The excuse that Congress must authorize that sort of stuff is arrant nonsense. When was the last time our federal law enforcement services gave a rat's ass about the law? And that makes me think that they really are hiding something! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter]

My first husband used to lie like that, and it drove me crazy. Sometimes I'd awkwardly have to cover for his pointless lies.

Taking action always entails risks. The people running the government would rather just concentrate on their political enemies, and let events take care of themselves.

2. There were FIB Informants on the grounds
3. They WEREN'T there in an official capacity, so they were like the rest of the crowd and doing it for whatever reason. So they were in the same boat.
4. The FIB is NOT prosecuting them.
5. We DO NOT have a two-tiered justice system.

Hello!
I'll reiterate what I posted in the previous thread.
I own and fly UAVs. The FAA has absolute authority over where I may operate. I must register the UAV as it's over a certain weight, and I must comply with FAA rules (no flying over/near airports, altitude restrictions, etc etc). In some cases the registration ID is broadcast from the UAV. The regs are also built into the control systems, so even if I *wanted* to fly at night, the system just won't allow me to do it unless I get a waiver from a request sent directly to the FAA and enter the authorization into my controls.
Now it's certainly possible to have an unregistered UAV. That said, if I were to fly said UAV over, say, a military base then area denial protocols would certainly be deployed. There's the registration piece, but even if there weren't it wouldn't take much to find me...I have to be relatively close to fly the thing. Triangulation of the signal would be trivial.
My practical experience here is screaming at me that the government knows a HELL of a lot more than it's letting on. Basically, FAA treats UAVs as manned aircraft in many instances...

Think of the Powerline guy, right at the end, giving every bit of credence to the story of Trump flushing classified documents down a toilet. Or, you know, Russian collusion.
That isn't 100% fixed. Not by a long shot.

Or maybe that's the plot of some novel I read awhile back.

Did you know that the concept of the future didn't exist until 1622? This according to Clif High. I'm still unraveling this.
Obviously, when you planted, you anticipated a crop. When you went to war, you anticipated the possibility of injury or death. This is not the same as the concept of the future.
Even with the tarot, they were trying to divine what was going on (unseen) in the present, not an outcome.
The idea of the future is something we were TAUGHT. That we are on a linear continuum, and that time travel is possible (at least theoretically).

Politico says Joni Ernst is still fucking around with Pete Hegseth.
Remember how Trump said "No FBI background checks on my nominees"? He did it because the FBI leaks those things any moment it appears useful to do so, and the Senate is fully complicit. Often, the Senate even does the leaking.
Now, despite Trump's explicit instructions, the FBI wrote a background report on Hegseth. And the Senate "Republicans" want to leak it, or so says Politico this morning.
With all the trouble brewing in the House, the Boneless Pork Rectum brigade wants to bet they can do this mischief and not get noticed by Trump.

The Feds want everyone paranoid and demanding action so they can ban and regulate drone use for civilians. Drones for public use are dangerous because a civilian can get an unabridged view of events as they occur.
The government does not want us to know what is really going on when there's a "mostly peaceful protest" going in downtown. They want to completely control what we see, hear and think.

I took all this to be the result of what happens when people that are accustomed to tailgating at high speeds while listening to Springsteen records accidentally looked up at the night sky and concluded fairly and rightly "holy fook we're being invaded."

I think the drones are being used to vacuum up data from devices like cell phones, WiFi hotspots and home routers, bank card readers, security systems, vehicles with GPS/WiFi and/or connectivity to services like satellite radio or OnStar and so on.
It's a trial... proof of concept operation. Maybe even looking for specific data about a specific person who lives/works in the area.
Huge data collection. Warrantless. Leaves no trace.
What feds wouldn't love to have and do with this sort of data?

The drones are almost certainly ours. And it's almost certainly routine testing.
As you mention: The scary possibility IS that they're ours, operational, and they're looking for something.
As to shooting them down: that's not hard, but when you shoot something down it does raise the distinct possibility that it will fall on something or someone in a flaming pile of lawsuits.
So until the drones actually DO something obviously destructive,... you observe. If they aren't ours, you can learn something from what your adversary is looking at.
As to announcing things to the press: As long as the punters are wetting their panties about ET, then they're not asking questions that actually matter.

Perhaps they meant that people in the far past assumed the future would be more or less like the present. The way life was lived in their great-grandfathers' day was pretty much the way they lived in the present; fair, they thought, to assume it would be that way for a very long time. As technology (trains, airplanes, telephones) began to change the present, the idea that the future might also change within one human lifetime, or less, began to be accepted.

As was mentioned above, I think it's more likely this is a government (ours) test to determine the extent to which fleets of drones could shut down comms on the East Coast. That would do a LOT more damage than just vacuuming up yet another googleplex of data.
The assumption is that if we can do it, an enemy bad actor can as well. This obviously tells you why the government wouldn't want to advertise the results.

We have no future because our present is too volatile. ... We have only risk management. The spinning of the given moment's scenarios. Pattern recognition”

It's a team lead, so you can't do much overtly.
I suggest you object ONCE to get it on the record, perhaps at a team meeting or better yet an email, then let it happen. Document the objection. You are at the point now where you likely can't stop it from happening, but you can CYA.

I'm pretty sure my Team Lead is going to call me in to demand a change in a process I oversee, and I don't want to do it because it's bad design. If she calls me in, can I say "Let's have some transparency and invite the whole team to listen in/weigh in?"

I always have trouble with people complaining about the Chinese spy balloon. We saw it - tracked it - learned a bunch of crap about the Chinese spy system and then shot it down over the Atlantic, recovered it and learned even more.
It was never a problem, it was never in a position to learn much of anything.

101 William Gibson on our concept of the future:
“We have no idea, now, of who or what the inhabitants of our future might be. In that sense, we have no future. Not in the sense that our grandparents had a future, or thought they did. Fully imagined cultural futures were the luxury of another day, one in which 'now' was of some greater duration. For us, of course, things can change so abruptly, so violently, so profoundly, that futures like our grandparents' have insufficient 'now' to stand on. We have no future because our present is too volatile. ... We have only risk management. The spinning of the given moment's scenarios. Pattern recognition”

From zerohedge....DRONES!
"New York Gov. Kathy Hochul beefed up the number of New York National Guard members patrolling NYC subway stations, marking the largest military presence in the city's subway system since the aftermath of 9/11. This heightened security measure coincides with mounting public hysteria over unidentified drones in NJ-NY airspace and the rising threat of terrorism.
On Wednseday, Gov. Hochul told reporters that 250 additional Guard members will join the already deployed 750 Guard members to combat rapes, murders, and robberies that plague NYC's subway system."

'US will send Ukraine $725M in counter-drone tech, anti-personnel mines' By Tara Copp and Matthew Lee, The Associated Press and Noah Robertson
Editor’s note: This story was updated Mon, Dec. 2, 2024, with additional reporting by Defense News and The Associated Press.
In part, "The U.S. is preparing to send Ukraine an additional $725 million in military assistance, including counter-drone systems and munitions for its High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, which could indicate more of the longer-range missiles are headed to the battlefield.
It was unclear whether the munitions for the HIMARS are the coveted ATACMS — the Army Tactical Missile System — but Ukraine has been pressing for more of the longer-range missiles to strike additional targets inside Russia."

It's true that people in the Middle Ages, even the renaissance, did not see the ancient past as "another country," but as part of a continuum. In a lot of ways, we could learn from that.
But if there was no future before 1622, why is "future" a Latin word?

Another consideration about those drones...
Several Chinese "spy balloons" were allowed to traverse the US. They loitered around sensitive military installations, sometimes for days. This administration did nothing.
But, I bet they knew China dispatched them and I bet they knew what for. Because China told them. And the junta was fine with it. Or was being blackmailed. Or both.
The intelligence game played between superpowers, the spying and all that, is sometimes obscure. Like allowing another country to fly intelligence gathering planes over your territory to calm fears you're preparing to nuke someone tomorrow. The US used to participate in just such a program. It was called "Open Skies."
Until the advent of satellites and the ability to observe earth at detail... this was how countries assured each other they weren't going to attack someone.
These drones could very well be "allowed" to monitor something that was of concern to another country. Obviously the feds are not disclosing what that might be.

Federal Civil Case in DC courts where the asshole judge ruled for the plaintiffs via default for Rudy not being able to comply with a discovery demand by the cheaters. Rudy literally could not comply as the devices sought were in custody of the federal government as evidence for a federal investigation into Rudy over the elections.
As though it was planned from the start by the lawfare group.
I would seize all communications with DC district court judges and the lawfare group including spouses to investigate for racketeering and corruption on the part of those district court judges in DC.

Wisconsin school shooting latest: Natalie Rupnow ‘received texts’ from man plotting government building attack
Alexander Paffendorf has been detained by the FBI, while teacher Erin Michelle West and student Rubi Patricia Vergara, 14, have been identified as those killed in the attack, BY James Liddell, Mike Bedigan, Rhian Lubin, Kelly Rissman, Thursday 19 December 2024 16:30 GMT
In part, "A California man has been detained and had his guns seized after allegedly texting Wisconsin school shooter Natalie Rupnow about his plans to blow up a government building.
Alexander Paffendorf, 20, was issued a gun-violence restraining order and detained by FBI agents after he was accused of messaging the 15-year-old shooter around the time of her attack on the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison on Monday.
The Carlsbad resident allegedly told Rupnow that he “would arm himself with explosives and a gun and that he would target a government building,” according to a two-page restraining order obtained by CBS 8."

A very righteous rant CBD!
My latest peeve is the claim of 5,000 sightings!
OMG!!! 5,000! Are we being invaded???!!!
What the media doesn't get, or refuses to admit is that the number is bogus. I can fly my little handheld toy drone-ball with all kinds of little lights on it across the street and back, at night, and get incredible viewing results. One toy "Drone", one flight, and 35 reported sightings.
I've said from the start this is either a couple of nerds screwing around with somethin they have built, or the military and/or contractors testing something.
Wait until I get my Jetson One and watch the public go apeshit!

Drones were being tested in Vietnam during the war.
You can see the first drone at the USAF Museum.
The patent has some big names on it: Orville "Dude" Wright and Charles "Boss" Kettering, among others. The guidance system was built by the Aeolian Player Piano Company. They were not ready for combat in WWI, but served as practice targets for years.

The appeals court tried to split the baby again by throwing Fani off the case but refusing to quash the indictment. It was a 2-1 decision btw with one deluded appellate judge (appted initially by Kemp btw) believed that merely kicking off Wade was sufficient.
Basically, you throw the prosecutor and her henchman off the case for misconduct but you refuse to get rid of the fruit of that poisonous collaboration via the grand jury indictment.
GA Courts are essentially compounding the initial injustice by delay, footdragging, etc. all to please blacks running Fulton County by fraud and deceit in elections, law enforcement, etc.

Police in Gloucester Township, New Jersey are searching for two suspects after they were caught on doorbell surveillance video stealing a parcel off a front porch. One suspect was seen returning days later to complain after a video of the theft emerged online. The theft victim had posted the video on a neighbourhood monitoring app. The package contained four drinking glasses and baby items that cost about $74, according to police. The suspect also returned one of the drinking glasses, which was broken.

CFS, one of the largest and most-hyped nuclear fusion companies, will make a multibillion-dollar investment into building the facility near Richmond. When operational, the plant will be able to plug into the grid and produce 400 megawatts, enough to power around 150,000 homes, said its CEO Bob Mumgaard.
“This will mark the first time fusion power will be made available in the world at grid scale,” Mumgaard said. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin welcomed the announcement, calling it “an historic moment for Virginia and the world at large.”
.. no drones lost their lives in the making of this power plant

"The sky was the color of a television tuned to a dead channel."

Overrated. Instead of Gibson, read Vernor Vinge.
"True Names" novella in 1981 is a spectacular tour de force anticipating the future of the Net.

serous note about Pelosi. The phrase broke her hip is bandied about. Did she just crack a hip joint socket or did she break her pelvis in two. I think those are on completely different scales in term of prognosis.

Not really. Old ladies don't do well when they lose mobility. The 30 day mortality has less to do with the fracture and more to do with the complications of being immobile. If she makes it a month without blood clots or pneumonia she probably be okay. They'll get her moving in rehab...

Clif High refers to what he calls the ontology (as opposed to what he calls "grit-based physics"). The assumption that the grit exists without consciousness. Whereas in this concept, the past is gone and we cannot return, and the future doesn't exist yet so we cannot visit.

Right, but since Einstein and the rise of "space-time", time has been thought to be an extent like space.
So there's been the theory that you can just slide the slider along this scale.

they postulated that UFO's may not actually be aliens who are so far away....
....but time travellers from our future.
===
Obviously. Time travel is eventually discovered on planet earth. The rest of the known universe is barred from contacting or approaching earth least it upset the critical balance that leads to the discovery of time travel. The future travelers go back to the past and defend earth from all contact. But that defense has caused some minor disruptions, sometimes making the time travelers forget they are actually humans from the future. Duh.

With the votes now in, we see Donald Trump received 77.3 million votes nationwide this year, 3,056,000 more than his 72.25 million in 2020.By contrast, Harris received a whopping 6,267,500 fewer than Biden did. Where did Biden’s 2020 voters and their votes go in 2024? We know they didn’t go to third-party candidates, because the totals for third-party candidates declined 656,000 in 2024, from 2,272,500 in 2020 to 1,616,600 (all numbers are rounded).

Transgenderism is now a religion on the Left.
You question it, and you are a heretic.
BTW, a guy in Washington who killed his parents claimed to be a woman, was transferred to a women's prison, and then had sex with his female cellmate.
Now the Washington DOC wants to transfer him back to a men's prison, which is the worst human rights violation ever.

The best story about the drones that I have heard so far is that the drones belong to an unnamed US alphabet agency. the drones are being used to search for a WMD smuggled into the country by unfriendly powers yet to be revealed. The government is downplaying things to prevent people from wigging out.
I find this completely implausible, unless - it is actually yet another “unnamed alphabet agency” that smuggled the WMD. This I find, in principle, now completely plausible. It sort of looks like Nobody in government knows what the F is going on, because in many cases, they don’t know what the F is going on. And the ones that do ain’t talkin’.
Like the murder of JFK, a vacuum of information, cover-ups, these absences leave plenty of room for BS narratives.
The Mayors need to come out united - and declare UNEQUIVOCALLY that they will not let these Drone incursions thwart our efforts at Diversity or Fine Tuning the Weather 100 Years from Now. Priorities.

The White House intentionally hid from the public Joe Biden's rapidly diminishing mental condition for his entire presidency, according to a bombshell report.
Biden's team hired a vocal coach, put other officials into roles usually occupied by the president, scrapped meetings on his 'bad days,' and avoided calls with other politicians, according to an explosive report in The Wall Street Journal.
It exposed an extensive and deliberate cover-up that also saw the administration gaslighting those who dared to claim Biden's abilities had deteriorated since he was Barack Obama's vice president.
Despite the efforts of aides Biden's decline became increasingly obvious, especially after Special Counsel Robert Hur last year released a report depicting a forgetful and frail then-81-year-old.

310 The White House intentionally hid from the public Joe Biden's rapidly diminishing mental condition for his entire presidency, according to a bombshell report.
Biden's team hired a vocal coach, put other officials into roles usually occupied by the president, scrapped meetings on his 'bad days,' and avoided calls with other politicians, according to an explosive report in The Wall Street Journal.
It exposed an extensive and deliberate cover-up that also saw the administration gaslighting those who dared to claim Biden's abilities had deteriorated since he was Barack Obama's vice president.
Despite the efforts of aides Biden's decline became increasingly obvious, especially after Special Counsel Robert Hur last year released a report depicting a forgetful and frail then-81-year-old.

There are three known reasons why the Bermuda Triangle is dangerous to aerial and nautical navigation.
1. It's tropical storm alley. Travel through there on the wrong day, at the wrong hour, and your ship or plane may encounter some serious bad weather. Bad weather enough to take down a ship as large as USS Cyclops, a fleet collier.
2. The area is known for electromagnetic anomalies. these anomalies will temporarily mess with compasses, radar, and radio comms operation. The term "temporarily" takes on a different meaning when not in sight of land, with no nearby craft to use as a comparison.
3. Piracy in the Caribbean Sea didn't end in the 18th century. These days it's often associated with drug smuggling, but piracy on the high seas does happen. In this case, the missing vessels are (sometimes) found, but their crew, passengers, and assorted valuables are missing.
