Big Bro is Flying Low Around Nation!

I've always felt that by the time the masses wake up it will already be too late.
We are on the precipice of a new era. Wonder which country will come to OUR aid and liberate The People!

The feds had Predator drones in US Airspace with weapons on the wings during the Chicago NATO summit. People saw them taking off in central Illinois and elsewhere, as well as at least one that some idiot pilot used the interstate highway to get orientation from and gave the public a show with.

I figure that is just what was seen by error or lack of security needs for where things were landing and taking off. The real sensitive or offensive systems would have been elsewhere and far from public view in the take off/landing to an altitude no one on the ground would spot it from.

I always thought they flew from 30k to 60k feet to avoid detection, but sometimes they fly low. There's video of that turncoat John Cantlie waving at one flying over Mosul, I think it was.

What that one in KC was doing I have no idea. it was flying orbits around the downtown, maybe a radius of a mile from the heart of downtown, and flying so damned low that anyone who looked up HAD to see it. I dunno if it was a challenge, a test of people's limits, or if it had some serious purpose.

Yes sir across the frwy and down the street a bit. When they are training with explosives it can startle you a bit. Of course within an 1 1/2 hours of here you have everything from 3 letter agencies to DC and Norfolk to consider as well. Plus there are cameras up and down the frwy with antennas arrays of every kind every 1/4 mile. They have even started to put up cameras on along Richmond Rd. The surveillance is wild. 

Someone was talking in another thread about the military moving weapons quietly and under cover, you see this all the time here up and down hwy 64, blacked out windows in SUV's up the whazoo escorting trucks all the time. I think they travel between Norfolk and somewhere around DC. I always tell the wife we are living seriously at ground zero, and it will be over with quick... lol

lol yeah I think I am getting to old to worry about anything else. Ground Zero it is... Instant vaporization. 

@marlingrace,

You must be just north of Ft. Useless. You're at "ground zero" alright. That's one of the reasons I left that area a bit over 20 years ago. If it's nuclear, you've got a front row seat, but it isn't likely to go nuclear. A plus is that you'll be in one of the best protected spots in the nation if the balloon goes up - but the downside is that you all are going to be on lockdown like nobody's business.

Probably part of the reason for all the cameras there is the rise in Islamic extremism, coupled with the fact that the NWS at Yorktown had a couple infiltrators right after 9/11. The naval Shipyard (or maybe it was the naval base - but they're right there together) across the river had a couple too, as I recall - which was just dumb as hell, considering that SEALS train right there. The old saying goes "you set a thief to catch a thief", and by the same token, to catch infiltrators you put other infiltrators to watching for them, since they know best what to look for.

Anyhow, given those factors, every military installation around there is probably getting as nervous as a whore in church with all the racket about ISIS and what all they think they're gonna do... and there are a LOT of military installations within spitting distance - or there were, when I was out there. Couldn't chuck a pebble without hitting a soldier, sailor, or airman in the eye. I understand Clinton closed a bunch of the bases down and near choked the life out of the economy there, but I'll bet they've been steadily re-infiltrating since the days of Bush and AQ.
