The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

MONTH OF DRONE ACTIONS NATIONWIDE



Washington's overseas drone strikes and their surveillance use at home has long attracted the attention of activists. Groups across the U.S. political spectrum say the strikes breach American law and hurt the country's international standing. Now a month-long anti-drone campaign has kicked off, with a protest in Manhattan.

Here in Maine our drone effort is focused on trying to get the state government to pass a bill to require law enforcement agencies to obtain a legal warrant before using drones for domestic surveillance.  Even this will be an uphill struggle for us because the Maine Attorney General does not want to limit the state police.  Additionally a small company in Maine, wanting to make drones, promises those golden words - jobs - and thus some politicians in Augusta are against any serious restrictions against drone use across the state.
