(750 posts)That has been something I have been thinking about for a long time. Much of the feeling in guilt as an American citizen for those decisions made to attack people that are complicit to terror plus those individuals falling to collateral damage, but may not be a terrorist.
That spectrum or terror also includes the so called enhanced interrogation techniques called waterboarding delivered in secrecy.
From my view as an average citizen being totally buffered both in an economic / political ways, these Drone decisions likely are driven by the one percent industrial military business complex oligarchs.
The video floating around with Bill Moyer and Paul Krugman convinces me that American Democracy has diminished a long time ago. The true hidden properties of the oligarchic America becomes very clear in many of the conversations removed from mainstream media.
Seems America oligarchic along with the world one percent oligarchies exploit the initial plan the Bush administration started by holding the door open to blame Islamic extremist while fixing intelligence and media hyperbola around ground zero lies. It is a pitiful example playing the system rather than sharing the wealth of life.
The whole concept of drones appears be on keeping a message clear. That is to say dont even think about terrorism or those that do get blown to smithereens along with anyone close.
The same thoughtful expressions are here in the American domain. If anyone applies a grievance the citizen in considered a trouble maker then likely publicly condemned by the media which are key players in this Democracy charade. Snowden is an intended clear example of don't fool with the oligarchic fools
It's a weird feeling to the ultimate regulation in fear about drones, but no fear of regulation for business banking exploitation.
