    America’s No. 1 Export - Terrorism

    America’s No. 1 Export

    June 13, 2012 by Bob Livingston

    America is arguably the world’s No. 1 exporter of terrorism.

    What does America export more than anything else? It’s terrorism.

    In fact, America is arguably the world’s No. 1 exporter of terrorism. According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, between 2004 and 2012 the United States used unmanned drones to strike between 364 and 436 times. There were also another couple of hundred strikes by U.S. aircraft and covert operations teams.

    The resulting carnage:

    • Total killed: 2,854-4,182
    • Civilians killed: 551-1,834
    • Children killed: 200-203


    The strikes have occurred in places you’d expect — Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia — and in places you wouldn’t — like the Philippines.

    And these numbers don’t count U.S. and NATO strikes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria.


    In Libya, NATO forces killed thousands of innocents directly by dropping bombs in cities and indirectly by funding, arming and providing logistical support to the al-Qaida-backed “opposition” group that ousted Moammar Gadhafi. The same logistical support and arming is now being provided to the Syrian al-Qaida terror group.

    President Barack Obama and his campaign guru David Axelrod personally oversee a weekly powwow in which targets are identified, indicating that political considerations may trump “security” considerations in decisions on who is killed. And to ensure that he kills only “terrorists,” Obama has redefined who qualifies. Now it’s any male in the neighborhood. U.S. citizens aren’t safe from Obama’s wrath either — just ask Anwar al-Awlaki. Unfortunately, he’s no longer able to answer.

    And not only is the regime enabling terrorists, it has trained them as well.

    We are told we are in constant danger from terrorists. But there have been no terror attacks in the United States that were not enabled by the FBI, CIA or shadow government entities. These include 9/11, the first underwear bomber, the second underwear bomber, the amateurish attempt to fly a radio-controlled airplane into the Pentagon and the so-called “hit” on a Saudi Arabian ambassador by a Mexican drug cartel.

    And to keep us safe we are watched by drones in the sky, cameras on street corners and agents from the Department of Homeland Security — an agency that employs pedophiles, perverts and thieves — who want to frisk and search us everywhere we go.

    Rather than trucks loaded with fertilizer, the new terror weapon of choice is the unmanned drone. Obama’s finger is on the trigger, and the United States has a monopoly.

    Drones: Big Brother’s Eye In The Sky

    June 13, 2012 by Sam Rolley

    PRESSTV
    Drones are becoming commonplace in America.

    Be they targeted assassinations with unavoidable collateral damage or crashes, U.S. drone missions have been responsible for a number of deaths that remains largely unknown by speculators and top U.S. officials alike.

    A recent report from The Atlantic explains:

    Estimates from anonymous Obama administration officials about many civilian casualties provide little clarity. In April 2009, a U.S. official claimed that “more than 400″ enemy fighters in Pakistan had been killed by drone strikes: “We believe the number of civilian casualties is just over 20, and those were people who were either at the side of major terrorists or were at facilities used by terrorists.” In addition, in May 2010 a U.S. counterterrorism official stated: “We believe the number of noncombatant casualties is under 30, those being people who were near terrorist targets, while the total for militants taken off the battlefield exceeds 500.” In August 2011, ABC News reported, “[A senior U.S. official] said that while the U.S. agrees around 2,000 suspected militants have been killed, the total civilian casualties are closer to 50.”

    And now, local and Federal agencies are doing everything in their power to make drones commonplace here at home. A report Monday in The Washington Times explains that the Department of Homeland Security currently has more drones than it knows what to do with.

    The Department’s inspector general released a report this week detailing how Customs and Border Patrol officials currently have acquired nine unmanned aerial vehicles and are awaiting a tenth, but have no real plan of how to use the potentially deadly machines. The agency uses the drones in part to patrol the country’s borders and reportedly also routinely conducts missions for the Texas Rangers, the U.S. Forest Service, the FBI and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

    But as Americans become ever more likely to see military-style drones flying over domestic airspace, concerns about privacy and safety abound.

    The Associated Press reported Monday that a 44-foot unmanned Naval drone on a “routine maintenance flight” crashed near Bloodsworth Island, Md., in the Chesapeake Bay around 100 miles outside of Washington, D.C.
