In a new form of warfare, death is now being delivered by remote control from thousands of miles away. It's a new form of "Justice," It's a trial by Hellfire missile, quick and cheap. No need for expensive time consuming trials. No risk at all to American lives. Being a "suspect", or sitting next to one, is all the reason needed to murder anyone our government has designated as a "terrorist". No more PTSD damaged veterans to worry about, killing will become as easy as a push button video game. Just think of the career opportunities for our children in a world of unemployment, already pre-trained and desensitized to violence by years of exposure to violent video games and obscenely violent TV shows. Wages won't be high with such a large pool of skilled workers to pull from, but it will be comfortable work, a regular 8 to 5 type office job Our military shouldn't have any problem finding volunteers to 'serve' their county, and a large financial bonus offered by military recruiters for your child's commitment to military service will ensure a steady stream of young people.

Does this sound like a nightmare? It's not, it's our children's future and Oregon is becoming a part of making that nightmarish future come true. In fact, all of the above is already happening, much of it documented at the links below. The horrid plan is to greatly escalate this new form of warfare. It will be highly profitable for some Oregon businesses like InSitu who are gearing up to produce more surveillance drones. This is just a manufacturing hop, skip and a jump from producing the much larger armed versions which shoot a variety of extremely deadly weapons. Is it a stretch to think this could happen? Consider that InSitu got it's start designing drones to track schools of fish, now they are designing drones to track humans. We don't want to see this happen and are calling on concerned citizens from all over the United States to become aware of this new trend of war, "death by remote control". How can we stop this?

Tomorrow (Friday) in Hood River, Bruce Gagnon, one of our nations experts on space weapons will be speaking on these issues. His talk is titled, "Military use of Drones, how will it change our world?" The public is invited to attend the event with Gagnon who is scheduled to speak at 6:45pm at St. Mark's Church, 11th & Eugene in Hood River, Oregon. There will be a movie showing afterwards, "Rethinking Afghanistan" scheduled to start at 8pm. Please come and join us if you can. Armistice Day Vigil at 5pm. Full details at the first link below, including 11/13 event flyer and additional documentation links to support the nightmarish scene described above.
