The Drones Take Manhattan

Tyler Durden's picture




In another absolutely abysmal volume day in which several vacuum tubes throw a hot potato to each other to pretend there is a market and to sucker in anyone who still believes Bernanke can centrally-plan his way out of the mess he himself created, here is some fun news to break the monotony.

This news, too, is bullish. So buy stocks and rotate greatly.

Did it look something like this?  Probably just the latest DARPA toy.

Bloomberg reportedly considering banning the atmosphere so private drones can't generate lift.

Haven't had this much ufo traffic around NYC since the US Navy brought down that passenger jet a few years back.  Oh wait, it just spontaneously blew up.  My bad.

And for those haters out there.  US Navy sinks Japanese research vessel as sub captain is joy riding around with babes.  Another Navy vessel is still grounded on a reef in the Pacific because they didn't see it with the millions of dollars worth of electronics on these things.  They should have left the captain and other commanders on the thing until it is finally freed.

They are not DONES
They are the Vanguard of the Economic Savior Force, the Alien Invasion, Window Smashing and Rectal Inspection Disaster of Paul Krugman.
I added in the Vanguard, Alien Invasion and Window Smashing for Shits and Grins.  The other part was his.

Obama has signed Executive Order # 3722840, which limits commercial air traffic so as not to interfere with drone flights.

Drones are freakin' awsome. I've been playing with my remote controlled drone all week. This thing is just insane! The most fun I've ever had in my life.

MDB, I for the life of me don't get how some readers have no comprehesion or sense of irony and take you comments literally.  "i've been playing with my remote controlled drone all week".  Great stuff.

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Where are the drones?

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move.
Where are the drones?
There ought to be drones.

Just when I'd stopped
Opening doors,
Finally knowing
The one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again
With my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.

Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want -
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the drones?
Send in the  drones.

Don't bother - they're here.

God help those drones if they are caught with Big Gulps or a Slur-Pee.  They will be in real trouble then.

That's what they're there for... They're up there to patrol for & take out Big Gulp drinkers from 30,000 with hellfire missles... They've calculated that the collateral damage is roughly less or equal to NY's Finest trying to take down a lone gunman...

Don't worry about your privacy and freedom citizens, drones are here to help us.  They even deliver burritos now: 

http://mashable.com/2012/12/26/burrito-drone/

and also missiles (sorry "gas explosions")  to those just can't seen to accept them and follow orders.  So see stop resisting.  Soon they'll be able to see inside homes to make sure we aren't doing anything suspicious, like terrorism.  The drones are just doing it out of love, and because they are richer than us.

Nice...wondered when the drones would start flying drones.  UMass Amherst near Westover AFB in MA also noted some flying lights in the sky two weeks ago but then it could have been a Friday night...

These RC planes piloted by irresponsible INDIVIDUALS could bring down a drone ahem,,, excuse me a COMMERCIAL AIRLINER so they must be made illegal for the publics safety of course.

We can't have reckless individuals just flying these things here and there!

Don't they know flying dangerous objects around the place is the governments job...

These drones bring up all sorts of questions. 

If a drone caused a jetliner to go down, will it be considered an act of terrorism?  Does it hate us for our freedom?  Will the US attack the country of origin of the drone or the operator?  What freedoms can the government take away after a drone terror attack on our airports?  Will I have to go through TSA naked?  How far apart will I have to stretch my rectum during serches?

They will manage to eventually bring down an airliner by reckless drone use - and they will blame some third party for it and maybe even start a war over it, if they think they can get away with it.
