Dozens of large drones have been flying over New Jersey—and now New York—for the past several weeks…and the FBI and other government officials purport to be utterly clueless as to whose they are, who is flying them, and what their intent may be.
Drones
have reportedly been spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S.
military facility, and President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf
course.
A
spokeswoman for the FBI’s Newark Field Office, which is leading the
investigation, recently told PIX11 News: "We understand the concern, and
we are doing all we can to figure out what's going on. We truly don't have much
information to provide at the moment."
Are
you bleeping kidding me?
What the hell is the point of having lavishly funded intelligence agencies and a
similarly lavishly funded military if we are still left ignorant and
defenseless?
The
drones are apparently being flown primarily at night, and often in formations. Yet,
there has been some talk that perhaps these are Amazon delivery drones or some
other such benign craft. I'm guessing that, since this drone apocalypse has
been in the news for weeks now, if Amazon was behind this aerial
display, Jeff Bezos or another company official might have already said, “Yup,
these drones are ours. Nothing to worry about. As you were.” Wouldn't the fact
that these drones are flying primarily at night cause the FBI or one of our
other crack intelligence agencies to think to themselves, “Gee, I wonder why
these drones are being flown only at night? It is almost as if whoever is controlling
them does not want for them to be seen.”
Which
leads me to China. The Chinese flew a giant freaking balloon across the
entire continent and we didn't do anything about it, despite its glacial pace.
They must surely believe that they could get away with flying a few dozen
drones over New Jersey and New York—and their attendant military bases, dams,
and other infrastructure. As well as Trump’s properties. Granted, this is
rampant speculation on my part. But, if they were going to do it, it would
certainly be before January 20th. Whether or not these particular drones belong
to the CCP, it appears China’s extraordinary investment in high tech military
weaponry is entirely unnecessary, at least as regards the United States. Under
the Biden administration, the U.S.’s military readiness and capability appears
to have regressed to pre-World War I levels, despite the advent of high-tech
weaponry. These drones fly at roughly the speed of a World War I aeroplane. A
pilot in a Sopwith Camel or a Fokker Triplane could probably shoot one down. I
picture a pilot in an open cockpit with goggles, a leather vest, and a scarf
trailing behind him pursuing one of these drones, his crude Gatling style
machine gun ablazin’. Yet, the U.S. can't figure out what these drones are up
to or what to do about them, mimicking how it handled the now infamous spy
balloon. It seems like, at this point in time, China could attack the U.S. with
wooden schooners, slow boats from China, and it would be unable to
quickly identify them…or protect its coasts as they bombarded Los Angeles and
New York with cannonballs. Or whatever.
Whatever
the case, this is just another embarrassment, and reason number 1,497 that the Trump
administration can’t get here fast enough. For God’s sake, shoot one of these aerial
voyeurs down. If it’s of Chinese origin, say “Aha!” If it’s one of Amazon’s,
say: “Our bad, we’ll reimburse you.” Simple. And if it’s Iran or another
potential adversary? Shoot the rest of them down.
Of
course, the truth may be that our government is somehow behind these
semi-UFOs. But the implications of that—and the lack of transparency—would be
no more reassuring.
