Chinese-made drones, flying over DC, allegedly threaten hysterical America's security

The following concocted scare is eminently laughable

 

From Politico, that most reliable arm of the propagandizing Grand American Police State:

 

 

Hundreds of Chinese-manufactured drones have been detected in restricted airspace over Washington, D.C., in recent months, a trend that national security agencies fear could become a new means for foreign espionage.

 

The recreational drones made by Chinese company DJI, which are designed with “geofencing” restrictions to keep them out of sensitive locations, are being manipulated by users with simple workarounds to fly over no-go zones around the nation’s capital.

 

The officials say they do not believe the swarms are directed by the Chinese government.

 

“This is part of a trend of commercial drones for potentially nefarious reasons,” said Rachel Stohl, vice president of research programs at the Stimson Center think tank who closely tracks the global drone market.

 

“We’re seeing in conflict zones, in other theaters, the reliance and use of commercial drones.”

 

“These may be just innocent data collection — or really just looking around, seeing what’s happening — and not in a systemized way,” she added. “But the potential, of course, is that eventually they could be more dangerous.”

First, notice the Politico title's intentionally deceptive semantics

 

"Chinese spy threat" — despite the fact that the article explicitly admits that no one believes the Chinese government, or its military, is behind the purported problem.

 

 

Second, contemplate what a drone flying over DC could actually pick up

 

Anything alarmingly useful?

 

Probably not. Even if the aerial vehicles are equipped with all sorts of electro-magnetic-detecting devices and cameras.

 

Basically, what we house in DC is a bunch of grasping Pillage Plotters, who talk and connive a lot. Not much of genuinely cutting-edge engineering and armaments skillfulness goes on there.

 

And whatever accurate information our intelligence agencies generate about foreign affairs will be dismembered (beyond recognition) by the time it gets to that Spy and Military Community's top bureaucratic offices. Where our imperialistic paranoia's loudly bombastic signals would be most likely to be detected.

 

 

Third and most tellingly — aerial spying over DC is not required

 

Adversaries do not need to surreptitiously probe American skies to find out what the US is up to.

 

All they need to do is read the American media. To whom the American powers-that-be spill their (always lying) guts at every opportunity.

 

History has well-demonstrated that what these murder-minded moral and intellectual dullards say, or heavy-handedly imply, is exactly the course that the United States is going to pursue.

 

Consider, in support, the following most likely to be remembered (by US readers) America-instigated, or supported, slaughter binges:

 

 

Vietnam

 

Palestine

 

Central and (more subtly) South America

 

Balkans

 

Afghanistan

 

Iran

 

Libya

 

Africa

 

Syria

 

Yemen

 

and

 

Ukraine.

 

 

No mysteries there.

 

 

All China actually needs . . .

 

. . . to most effectively surveil the United States are:

 

 

an office fluent in Americanese

 

and

 

a pile of our alleged culture's Lamestream announcements.

 

 

The moral? — Once again, the American Deep State is mongering fear . . .

 

. . . for the sole purposes of deceiving We the People into going along with its already almost 100 percent enslavement of our (admittedly usually pitifully inadequate) minds.

 

As well as with its clearly futile desire to rein in the near future's certain-to-be most dominating economic power
