FEMA Grounds Private Drones Helping To Map Floods, Threatens Arrests

techdirt1

“Boulder, Colorado has been hit by massive flooding over the past week, and it’s been something of a mess. A local company, Falcon UAV, makers of special drones which are built for the government, approved by the FAA, and specialize in using GPS and cameras to generate highly accurate maps, started helping to map the damage with those drones. It was basically making very useful, near real-time maps showing the floods. You’d think that would be useful to, say, FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency in charge of helping to coordinate the response to the floods. Instead, FEMA ordered the drones grounded or it would have people from Falcon UAV arrested.”

Joerg Sprave’s straight-up lethal toilet brush sniper rifle

“‘Introducing the Toilet Brush Sniper Rifle — a slingshot crossbow with 7.5-foot total length. Outfitted with telescopic sights and a bipod, the rifle resembles one of these notorious .50 BMG firearms. But they hit without any noise, and generate no smell either!’ ‘See three consecutive hits from 20 meters distance (22 yards) – the group fits on the palm of your hand, or on the forehead of a Zombie …’  That thing is devastating. It does need a loader, but damn. Accuracy and hitting power.  And toilet brushes.”

Destroyer of Mankind Now a Museum Piece

“What was just a few months ago a backyard project by an ‘insurrectionist’ is now considered so valuable it has earned a spot in a well-known British art museum.  Earlier this week, London’s Victoria & Albert Museum of Art and Design announced that it’s buying two of the original ‘Liberator’ printed guns from Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed, Forbes reports. The museum will display the guns during its ongoing Design Festival. No price has been disclosed. The guns was designed by Wilson and constructed from parts made on a 3D printer, horrifying government officials who quickly moved to prohibit Wilson from sharing the plans on his website. The files went viral instead.”

FBI a ‘secret domestic intelligence agency,’ ACLU says

“In the wake of the National Security Agency spying scandal, the American Civil Liberties Union shifted attention Tuesday to the FBI with a report that described the bureau as ‘a secret domestic intelligence agency.’  The report says that changes in law and policy since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks have allowed the FBI to expand its intelligence-gathering and investigative authorities, infringe on Americans’ privacy and evade constitutional oversight.  Developing technologies have enabled the FBI to collect and analyze vast amounts of information about countless Americans without any suspicion of wrongdoing, the report says.”

Fresno: Laboratory for Martial Law

“Six police departments will participate in the initiative, which will gather surveillance videos and information from huge computer databases for use by a half-dozen ‘crime analysts.’ Those officials will identify so-called ‘hot spots’ and try to anticipate criminal activity before it occurs.  This system is an adaptation of the ‘pattern-of-life’ analysis used by counter-insurgency forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. Beginning in 1994, the Fresno PD’s Violent Crime Suppression Unit, which describes itself as the department’s ‘special forces’ auxiliary conducted block-by-block house searches and saturation patrols in targeted neighborhoods.”

“Police in Washington Township, Ohio are investigating an officer’s conduct after footage surfaced online of him waving his Tazer at two people already handcuffed on the ground and seemingly grabbing a teenage boy during a traffic stop.  The Toledo Blade reported on Wednesday that Officer Eric Hart was on paid leave while his department investigates his encounter on Sunday with Aaron Tatkowski, his daughter-in-law Cassandra Meyers, and Meyers’ 14-year-old son.  The description for the video contends that Hart blocked Tatkowski’s driveway while stopping Meyers, and that the confrontation began after Tatkowski asked Hart to move his vehicle.”

Arkansas mayor fires rifle seized by police, shattering city hall window

“An Arkansas mayor admitted this week that he had accidentally fired a rifle inside city hall, shattering a window.  Flippin James ‘J.J.’ Hudson told the Baxter Bulletin that nine days after he fired the rifle that had been seized by police, the incident had been ‘all been taken care of; it’s all been cleaned up.’  ‘I’m not going to have any further comment on it,’ he said.  But according to the paper, the shards of glass could still be seen over the entrance of city hall and the window had still not been repaired.”

Did You Know: YOU Are Responsible for the Washington Navy Yard Murders

google-search-header2

“ABC Radio this morning broadcast the voice of a ‘Pentagon official’ who explained that the maniac who murdered all those people at the Washington Navy Yard was not able to just walk in with a shotgun and begin blasting away because of the government’s asinine gun-free-zone-on-military-bases policy, or its grotesquely inept ‘security’ policies, but because of ‘budget cuts.’  It is you stingy, selfish taxpayers who are at fault here for not paying enough taxes.  Shame on you.  How much more blood will be on your hands?”

The Purpose of Government is to Exploit — and Exacerbate — a Crisis

“[..] A similarly skewed set of priorities was displayed in the official response to the killing spree at the Washington Navy Yard. A SWAT team from the Capitol Police was dispatched in response to the shooting – but was reportedly ordered to stand down, rather than intervene in an attempt to save the victims. Twelve people were killed before the shooter was stopped. There are roughly 200 SWAT deployments each day in this country – almost none of which involve the protection of innocent people. Apparently, SWAT teams are reserved for low-risk drug raids and killing 107-year-old men armed with pistols, rather than for responding to actual danger.”

Media Buries Psychiatric Drug Connection to Navy Shooter

“Alexis ‘had been treated since August by the Veterans Administration for his mental problems.’  Alexis also suffered from PTSD, blackouts and anger issues – all of which are treated with SSRI drugs. The most common form of treatment for PTSD is Paroxetine, which is listed as the number 3 top violence-causing drug by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP).  Despite it being reported that prescription drugs were found in the apartment of ‘Batman’ shooter James Holmes days after the Aurora massacre, it took nine months to find out exactly what those drugs were. Like Columbine killer Eric Harris, Holmes had been taking Zoloft, another SSRI drug linked with violent outbursts.”
