    Hillary Clinton wants powerful drone surveillance technology to find boogeyman Kony

    Clinton wants more powerful drone surveillance technology to find boogeyman Kony

    Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Friday, endorsed the advancement of drone surveillance technology to aid the US in capturing fabled enemy Joseph Kony.



    Clinton was in Uganda speaking to president Yoweri Museveni and surveying the current use of US drones being used by the Ugandan military in Somalia to reportedly fight al-Qaida-linked militants.

    “Now we have to figure out how we can see through thick vegetation to find Joseph Kony,” she said speaking openly about the US’s need to improve drone surveillance capabilities.

    The Secretary is riding the wave caused by the controversial “Kony 2012” documentary released in March 2012 that to date has more than 92 million views.

    The film, which was created in order to spur widespread outrage and garner support for an invasion of Africa, depicted Kony as a ruthless African warlord that would kidnap children, butcher victims, and take women as sex slaves.

    “We have to figure out how to work with all the countries where he and his criminal bands are perhaps hiding. We have to put our heads together to find out what additional equipment and support you need to lead this effort to rid the world of this terrible man and his criminal behavior,” Clinton said.

    Although most Ugandans have more of a problem with the now 30-year dictatorship of president Museveni than the infamous Kony, Clinton continues to beat the war drums to muster support for an invasion.

    Apart from the obvious attempt to keep the military industrial machine churning and distracting from genuine events, the Kony 2012 documentary was funded indirectly by the CIA through the film’s producer Invisible Children’s connections to USAID.

    Furthermore, it is widely believed that Kony hasn’t even been in Uganda for six years, he no longer holds any influence in the region, and is presumed dead.

    Today Clinton is also receiving backlash from China who she indirectly accused of exploiting Africa’s resources. The official Xinhua news agency said Clinton’s “cheap shots” attempted to “drive a wedge between China and Africa for the US’ selfish gain.”

    Noel Sharkey, professor of artificial intelligence and robotics at the University of Sheffield and who has previously appeared on the Alex Jones Show, expressed his fear that drones will start “the industrial revolution of war” in a piece penned in Friday’s Guardian.

    He states today’s drones are “like the Wright brothers’ prototypes compared to what’s coming next.”

    “Here is where the real danger resides: automated killing as the final step in the industrial revolution of war – a clean factory of slaughter with no physical blood on our hands and none of our own side killed,” Sharkey wrote.

    If Clinton has it her way, drone surveillance technology will surely be not only powerful enough to see through “thick vegetation,” but will likely be strong enough to penetrate rooftops and invade privacy.

    Chinese state media slam Hillary Clinton's speech in Africa

    Xinhua says thinly veiled comments over China's investment in continent were 'cheap shots' aiming to sow discord

    Chinese state media took a swipe at Hillary Clinton on Friday, saying she was either ignorant of the facts about the Asian nation's investment in Africa or was ignoring them.

    The acerbic comments from the official Xinhua news agency come after Clinton, while on an official visit to Africa, appeared to question China's motives in the region.

    China has poured billions into Africa in recent years, emerging as the continent's main trading partner and a major source of investment for infrastructure. But its presence has also sparked concerns regarding claims of labour abuses and corruption.

    On Wednesday, in a veiled criticism of China's role in Africa, Clinton told a university audience in Senegal that African leaders should embrace democracy and partnerships with responsible foreign powers as a means of improving their living standards and addressing the root causes of extremism on the continent.

    Though she did not mention China by name, it's clear that Africans are being asked to ponder their relationship with China.

    "Whether Clinton was ignorant of the facts on the ground or chose to disregard them, her implication that China has been extracting Africa's wealth for itself is utterly wide of the truth," Xinhua said.

    Africa has become a major source of resources for China's economy, now the second largest in the world after the US, and trade between the two sides hit a record $166bn (£106bn) last year, a threefold increase since 2006.

    Xinhua said ties with Africa were rooted in "friendship and equality" and the "friendly and mutually beneficial interaction between China and Africa gives the lie to Clinton's insinuation".

    It said Clinton's "cheap shots" had a hidden agenda to discredit China's engagement with Africa and "drive a wedge between China and Africa for the US selfish gain."

    Clinton's 11-day African tour includes Uganda, South Sudan, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa and Ghana.

    China hosted a summit with African leaders last month and pledged $20bn in credit to be used for infrastructure and other development. President Hu Jintao said China would continue to support African nations' independent development paths, in a speech that waved off calls for China to consider human rights and other potential abuses when it made investments.
