PR campaign will bombard Americans with positive messages about technology

In the aftermath of conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer’s observation that the first person to shoot down a surveillance drone on U.S. soil will be a “folk hero,” the drone industry has committed itself to launching a propaganda blitz aimed at bombarding the public with positive messages about the technology.

“After issuing a statement denouncing Krauthammer’s remarks as “irresponsible” and “dangerous,” (Michael) Toscano said the AUVSI would go on the offensive against critics. While the strategy is still being shaped, Toscano made it sound like something straight out of a crisis-management textbook — or Orwell. The AUVSI wants to bombard the American public with positive images and messages about drones in an effort to reverse the growing perception of the aircraft as a threat to privacy and safety,” reports Salon.

Toscano, president of the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, is eager to keep the PR nice and simple. “You have to keep repeating the good words,” he said, adding that the word “drones” should also be dispensed with because of its negative connotations and replaced with the term “remotely piloted vehicles”.

Congress recently passed legislation paving the way for what the FAA predicts will be somewhere in the region of 30,000 drones in operation in US skies by 2020.

Privacy advocates have warned that the FAA has not acted to establish any safeguards whatsoever, and that congress is not holding the agency to account.

In addition, A recently uncovered Air Force document circumvents laws and clear the way for the Pentagon to use drones to monitor the activities of Americans.

Incidents involving the drones in recent months have hardly provided positive spin for the industry.

Last week a mystery object, thought to be a military or law enforcement drone, flying in controlled airspace over Denver almost caused a catastrophic mid air crash with a commercial jet.

Last summer, police in North Dakota used a Predator drone to spy on a family who refused to give back back three cows and their calves that wandered onto their 3,000-acre farm.

    If Iran was able to capture one, so can the people. bring em down.

    like BOB BARKER used to say come on down BRING EM DOWN

  3. I love Public Relation firms as they highly excite my lust for defilement of the mind.

    Mmmmm…. How delightfully evil of ideas would they be willing to sell for money?

    And how much lower will they go as the inflationary vice tightens?

    If you keep sleeping, O Israel, I shall keep eating thee. Don’t blame God!

    See you at Bilderberg 2012!

    Um, it is irresponsible, dangerous and cowardly to operate remotely piloted vehicles and use them to spy on and shoot at people from wherever you are sitting and controlling this remotely piloted vehicle.

    Don’t say words you’re gonna regret
    Don’t let the fire rush to your head
    I’ve heard the accusation before
    And I ain’t gonna take any more
    Believe me
    The sun in your Eyes
    Made some of the lies worth believing

    (chorus)
    I am the eye in the sky
    Looking at you, I can read your mind
    I am the maker of rules
    Dealing with fools, I can cheat you blind
    And I don’t need to see any more to know that
    I can read your mind (looking at you)
    I can read your mind (looking at you)
    I can read your mind (looking at you)
    I can read your mind…

  5. My girlfriend works as an FLDP for BAE! This is serious. They are arming the drones and giving them telescopic lenses to zoom in on license plates and faces from 5-20 thousand feet at least. We are so efffed.

    that would be a bet you would LOSE.

    ground penatrating radar has been around for a few decades now and if they want you, they will get you, plain simple.

    fight alone, you die alone.

    I would REALLY like to see a duck-blind made from IR reflective material and cammo would show up under FLIR at night. Even night vision can be defeated with the proper planning and a little bit of bait misdirection. I imagine that the 1st few individuals that get shot down will be relaced with squadrons in multi-layered coverage so that the BARCAP will be out of small arms range and will be specially outfitted with hi-res optics.

    Until they deploy these things smartly, they will be flying targets for all to ping at.

  6. The hell with shooting them down. The biggest weakness of a UAV is the fact there is no pilot on board and that it relies on remote control using radio waves. A device designed to focus a radio signal at them would be far more effective. It just has to disrupt their connection to the drone. Do that and it will come down pretty easy or just fly off in a direction those trying to control it do not want.

    Another consideration people should be looking at is those who have purchased and own the airspace above their homes and neighborhoods, which more then a few have chosen to do over the years. That is their property under the law. So if one of these drones flies into their owned airspace what will the FAA do considering they are the ones who sold it to the person. Are they going to side with them or the operators of the drone. Because if they do that, it sets a bad precedent that no one can own or control airspace and negates the FAA.

  7. This is just plain wrong. We need to bombard our representaitves with letters and phone calls until this is stopped. This is an evssion or privacy of the highest order If we have not committed any criminal act we should not have to worry about spy planes flying over our property taking pictures or anything else! This is America I seem to recall something important oh yes here it is Innocent until proven Guilty!!!!!! there is no reason to be flying drones over our homes if you want to partol the border with them thats one thing but flying them over residential and agricultural areas just looking for Something? Is just wrong! If TSA agents can Grope our Children should we allow other governemnt Agencies to fly over our back yards swimming pools etc and observe us all the while believeng we are in the privacy of our own homes? THIS IS JUST WRONG!!!!! I thought we wre living in AMERICA the Home of the FREE!

    codger – they will enforce “zoning” regs. remember agenda 21 ?

  8. I am the eye in the sky. Looking at you I can read your mind. I am the maker of rules. Dealing with fools. I can cheat you blind, and I don’t need to see anymore,to know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind . The “NWO” theme song.

  9. @jchance,

    tightly controlled radio beams and SATCOM’s have that little problem solved.

    don’t you think that when Iran got lucky and “broke the codes” that TPTB did not close that little loophole ASAP?!?

    No, everyone knows the “remote” part is a major drawback and steps to improve their comm links will always be in the works.

    Now is the time to create “dead zones” with EMP projectors so that they will simple stop working when they fly into one of them.

    They can only add so much shielding to these things because of the weight issues.

  10. Krauthammer gets one right!
    Indeed. We ought to set up a fund to collect $1,000,000 or more if possible to the first person to shoot down a drone.
    We also need a means to detect the presence of these SkyNet potential killers. Who is John Conner?

  11. I don’t even know how to respond to this!!! I did my time in service to keep our country safe from those who would put Americans under this kind of scrutanty. Did I waste 8 years of my life? I raised my children to respect our country, it’s elected officials, our people in uniform, and out veterans. I’m trying to teach my grandchildren the same values. It seems that I should forget about doing this as the majority of our elected officials are not worth respecting. I am going to teach my grandchildren about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights so they know what we are in the process of loosing.

  12. There is no propaganda that can spin this in a positive way!!!!!!

  13. Good humans of planet earth time to let go to this violent matrix you have been conditioned to serve. Time to understand your soul is here to mature in spirituality.

    let go of vengence, fear hatred.Let go of all that. Once your soul lets go of FEAR there is no one that can harm you not even the NWO.

    look at the TSA workers for example? these poor souls have not understood they will start all over this life after this one.

    The soul moves on after the physical life. What you have learned here will determine if you move on to the next dimensions. The higher rhealms will not accept souls that feed on anger, hatred, greed and selfishness.

    Never forget that. Evolve, move on to your destiny in a higher free world.Let go of this evil matrix you now serve.
