U.S. Military Changes Drone Rules To Make Targeting Of Civilians Easier

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

The drone issue is just another topic in which President Barrack Obama has proven himself to be a world-class liar and master of deception. Despite his claims that drone strikes do little damage to civilian populations, in July we discovered that “of the 746 people killed in drone strikes in Pakistan from 2006-2009, an incredible 20% were civilians and 94 (13% of the total) were children.”

I suppose that number just isn’t good enough, because The Pentagon has decided to change the rules of engagement when it comes to drone strikes, now making it easier to target civilians. From The Washington Times:

The Pentagon has loosened its guidelines on avoiding civilian casualties during drone strikes, modifying instructions from requiring military personnel to “ensure” civilians are not targeted to encouraging service members to “avoid targeting” civilians.

Hey cops, how about you “try to avoid” beating the shit out of people and violating their constitutional rights for no reason. Yeah, because that’ll work.

In addition, instructions now tell commanders that collateral damage “must not be excessive” in relation to mission goals, according to Public Intelligence, a nonprofit research group that analyzed the military’s directives on drone strikes.

 

Administration officials say the strikes are legal because the U.S. is at war with al Qaeda and its associates. They also insist there is a wide gap between the government’s civilian casualty count and those of human rights groups.

Right, we are at “war with al Qaeda,” when it is convenient to be at war with them. When it is convenient to be allies with al Qaeda, we will do that too.

Despite Mr. Obama’s pledge for more transparency on drone strikes, the administration “continues to answer legitimate questions and criticisms by saying, ‘We can’t really talk about this,’” said Naureen Shah, advocacy adviser at Amnesty International.

Can’t. Make. This. Stuff. Up.

Now that Obama has given the wind industry carte blanche to kill as many golden, bald and any other eagles or other birds as they see fit for 30 years without the risk of prosecution, maybe that idiot would like to up the ante by using drones to kill all wild birds wherever they may be so there's no chance of them interferring with our wind mills or any other inconvenience they may cause.

Communism is an economic system.  Fascism is a system of government rule.  Just because the USSR was "supposedly" had communism doesn't mean that's how they ran their country.  It was run by fasicts/dictators/oligarchy - take your pick.

You can have communism within a democracy.  Actually, it might work better that way.

Soooo many people confuse economic systems with power/rule systems.

Thats actually not true, the true patriots are getting involved, they are becoming members of Oath Keepers, and they are getting enlisted in their respective state militias. Its going strong, we are working with the consitutional Sheriffs and Governors(Which are few, I must admit) but we are doing it. And where we have Sheriffs and Govs, that won't play ball with the militias we are getting involved in campaigs to vote them out. The 2nd amendment is about having a well regulated militia to stand upto an unconstitutional governmnet, and we have an unconstitutional government, and that has to change one way or the other, before they get rid our constitution once and for all.

"Kill 'em all & let God sort 'em out" was a common refrain in Viet Nam.  It kind of eased the guilt you felt when you knew your actions contributed to the deaths of innocent women and children...but the guilt never really quite leaves your mind.

That attitude was wrong then, as it is wrong now, but these drones are shameful and disgusting.  They are expressions of both collective arrogance and individual cowardice.  The random use of first world advanced technology against 4th world peasants paints a portrait of a warpped and depraved country, controlled by war criminals.

I find myself deeply saddened with the realization that the country I was once so proud of has been hi-jacked and is no longer the country I loved.  There will no no shortage of cynics who may say that country never really existed, but I know that it did.  I lived it, and things were very different among the people.  Even in the racially divided South of my youth, there was a real love and respect for the concept of America among both races.  Even during the civil rights struggles on campus and in the streets, we all believed in the promise of America.  Even though I was in the streets again protesting against the war, when my number was called, I reported for duty, never once failing to believe in America.  Now, that America seems a distant memory.

My country is the great American Republic. My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.

“of the 746 people killed in drone strikes in Pakistan from 2006-2009, an incredible 20% were civilians and 94 (13% of the total) were children.”

The debate needs to be framed in a manner that Americans can understand. So let's say this instead - "Today it was reported that police in the largest cities in America killed 746 people between 2006-2009. Of those an incredible 20% were later found to have no criminal record or engaged in criminal activity. Even more remarkably, 94 of the total killed by police were children who were simply innocent bystanders."

Now that would get peoples attention wouldn't it? But because these people are in a different country they mean nothing. Why should America care about a bunch of children killed in some distant land? The thing is, the way things are going in this country it may not be long before it starts happening here. Then we'll really care.

Bingo!

And I'm almost uncertain at this point if Americans wouldn't be accomodating as long as it it's somebody elses family or neighborhood and not there own.  Add to this the snitch factor and those that will sell out there friends and relatives as long as they get what they feel they need in order to survive.  This is the coupling of the economic demolition we are witnessing first hand in this Country with the banks right now, and it' will only get worse as unemployment continues to skyrocket and people become more desperate.

How we can religiously without thinking put yellow ribbons on everything and blindly repeat a mantra of "supporting the troops" for 12 years knowing in earnest how destructive it has been to our reputation and credibility in the eyes of World is unequalled -especially when it's a declared war without borders and on a "tactic"?  If we can continue to do this than it's safe to say we will be able to sell out anyone including family.

I'll close here with this. If nobody has seen it it's beyond belief if we allow it to continue and don't fight back.

Nemo, I watched the first two-thirds of that video.

The part that piqued my interest the most was the County Sherriff's de rigeur recitation of a defense of heroic police efforts to rein in drunk driving, which went something like, "I think everybody knows someone in his family or friends who's been killed by a drunk driver. I think we should do something about that." These rehearsed words rolled off his tongue as if he had said them 1000 times - he put the emphasis in all the right places, and his inflection was perfect for that message.

He is exactly wrong.

The logical extension of this argument - that it is the duty of law enforcement to SAVE the citizens - is to suggest that: because we all know family members or friends who've died in hunting accidents, we should do something about that; because we all know family members or friends who've died in construction accidents, we should do something about that; because we all know family members or friends who've died from cancer, we should do something about that; because we all know family members or friends who've died when the tornado ripped apart their single-wide, we should do something about that.

There will untimately be no limit to police-state tyranny once the notion is accepted that this is what governments are supposed to do. Legislating salvation, as opposed to legislating morality, is a hallmark of tyrannical states. As callous as this sounds, the appropriate attitude the well-meaning Sheriff should adopt is: although it's sad that some people get killed in preventable drunk driving accidents, protecting the civil liberties of all the people is more important than trying to save the lives of the few.

I would challenge you to find one law enforcement type who gets that right.

I think it far more likely that everybody knows someone in his family or friends who has at one time driven when they've had too much to drink.  Hey sherriff, what do you think we should do about that?

Several new rules of engagements.  It seems our government thinks that a drone operator can make better decisions from thousands of feet in the air than troops on the ground.  In its infinite wisdom, they have made it more difficult for troops on the ground to defend themselves.  Or maybe its just some weird trade-off of 'we can take out more of you people from the air, you can take more of our people out on the ground'...no matter what its all fucked up.

"Now that would get peoples attention wouldn't it?"

With all due respect, I hope that you don't have a dangerous job that requires paying attention and assessing dangers.

If a multijurisdictional task force of goons and goonettes sacked your neighbor and dragged him out of his house today at noon, kicked the sack as they made their way acorss the lawn and tossed him into the back of their van....

,,,,then you wouldn't do a fucking thing,  Um, call the cops?   Uh huh.  Call the local newspaper?  Uh huh.  That would be the response from 10% of Amerika.  45% wouldn't notice or even have a fucking clue what their neighbor's name was.  And the other 45% would say the next day after watching the news, "Geez, who knew that Bob was a terrorist?"

Any other suggestion at this point is false bravado.  (Real bravado requires a govt permit)

If the cable tv went out for a week straight, or if WalMart went out of business, or if the SNAP cards were cut off, THEN maybe there would be insurrection, but it wouldn't be the least bit coordinated and would be quashed in a day.  90% of the survivors would huddle in the homes and wait for the govt to tell them what to do next...exactly the same way they did before the insurrection.

Cynical?  Hardly.  Realist and an observer.  I outsourced my patriotism on 9/12.

What's your point? That there's an acceptable level of casualties of violence as long as the 'good guys' get the 'bad guys'?

"I outsourced my patriotism on 9/12."

Yep. And therein lies the problem. Americans by in large don't give a damn about anything other than themselves. They outsource violence to a bunch of people in nice uniforms who exact their violent behavior on others and call it "national defense." I know this because I used to be one of them back during the Vietnam debacle. After returning to SE Asia in 1999-2000 to help with de-mining efforts my eyes were opened. Promptly came home and shred my honorable discharge and DD-214 and chucked my medals and ribbons in the nearest dumpster. The problem is that most people never see the results of their "outsourcing". Death and mayhem abroad is simply a headline on some news site or newspaper. So congratulations for being one of those soulless fools who let others do your bidding. No doubt you'll be one of the 90% when push comes to shove.

What if some other country or rogue entity secretly built hundreds of thousands of drones, and released them on major cities all at once that would fly around shooting people with tiny pellets of ricin?  No one knows all the different ways this new drone technology could be used, so we might want to reconsider the arrogant position of master of the drone skies, while others may be plotting devious counter attacks using the same technology but in a more sinister manner. 

Just sayin'

I just got a vision of working in the future and on your first day they have a baseball sized drone follow you wherever you go and inform you of company policies.  "You are drinking coffee during a non-break period - you should wait until 10:00 Am."  "If you aren't sure what to do now, I can signal a manager to assist you.  Is that your request, yes or no?"  "You should be wearing a tie.  Should I have someone bring you one?"  "Please do not flirt with the female staff members."  "Porn is prohibited."

Not really. If you can't pay for the ACA the logical question to ask is "what else can't you pay for?" In other words "it's all about efficient outcomes" now...and the most efficient outcome both now and going forward is to see the "drone program" writ large. This is the solution to the problem of Government no longer able to pay for itself...or anything else for that matter. "Use drones." This is how you will get your actual benefit now...no more cars, no more highways, no more delivery guy or cop..."drone 'em."

Yeah pretty much. For what we've paid for a single F-35 we could have. 100,000 drones right now. These things will run on batteries powered by off grid solar and wind...everyone will have their personal drone...according to Amazon the best they can do is 5 pounds "free delivery." That will absolutely cover your mail delivery for a week. That saves 200,000 delivery jobs, accidents on the highway, the vehicle fleet, the maintenance costs, you name. Plus it can check up on you...make sure your still alive...etc. "this is what failure looks like" people. Get used to it.

M. Scott Peck wrote, "...evil insidiously manifests itself most commonly in deceptively well-functioning but subtly pathological personalities".

I cannot help but think the manifestion of which Peck refers has gravitated to, and permeated, a certain city along the Potomac. If evil exists, that is where it calls home.

"That is what leaders do before bad stuff comes down"

With all due respect, that is what happens before administratively bad things go down.  Truly bad things would be prefaced and harbingered by killing generals who might object to long term plans.

For example the anti-Communist Adm Forrestal using a bedsheet to "hang" himself out of his hospital window but somehow landing 15 feet from the building (as if thrown out).

Apr 17, 1995 a C-21 carrying Asst Sec AF Fiester, Maj Gen Proffit, and other AF officers crashed killing all on board.

Apr 19, 1995.  Oklahoma City bombing.

Apr 27, 1996 former CIA director William Colby "drowns".   76 yr old men always go canooeing at night.  (sarc)

May 3, 1996, Sec Commerce Ron Brown dies in a plane crash.  First responders initially reported survivors, then they said, "Oops, nope, no one survived."  Air Force forensic pathologist Cogswell who was incredulouls that an autopsy was not performed stated, "Essentially ... Brown had a .45-inch inwardly beveling circular hole in the top of his head."  

In what we were told were unrelated incidents the air traffic controller committed suicide, and on May 6, the Air Traffic Maintenance Chief in charge of Brown's plane also committed suicide.

May 16, 1996.  Adm Boorda leaves the Pentagon and according to numerous witnesses he is chased by security teams.  Fleeing from the assassins (?) he drives towards his home.  Official reports are that he made it into his his home and then emerged with a gun, stood on the lawn, and shot himself in the head AND chest.  

July 26, 1998, AF Lt General David McCloud dies in plane crash.

If the American people refuse to obey the "piece of paper" that ultimately puts them in charge when their lawmakers and courts commit such egregious violations of the law and acts of treason, then it's up to the likes of Russia and China from outside to put an end to it.

So very true.

I used to be in the "blue pill" camp myself with regrets too deep to count in my lack of motivation and stupidity to where the "red, white and blue" has been leading this Country in my formative years. -After all life was so good for just me.

What ultimately breaks the chain (hopefully permanently) are the types that are relentless and determined in getting to the truth and want to share the provisions in times of crisis.  I know this is a broken record but it was one of the most pivotal events in our history and certainly a milestone that is still unequalled in pointing to all the other blemishes and defects to our unaltered course, and that was the legacy the "Jersey Girls" started and sacrificed (and those that followed them) for the rest of this Nation and the world in demanding answers to what happened to their husbands at Cantor Fitzgerald and all the others that day. 

Isn't "TCP/IP" both the most wonderful and delicious of irony's and conundrums to those that attempt to control it 'ALL' for the benefit of our well being and security?  It's the same ones that run our deficits and attempt to influence and control market behavior through setting unilateral policies that will always end up in abject failure.  There will never be enough time, money or individuals to throw at the perceived solution to reign it in for the benefit of the few who attempt to control it.

Another view of civilian casaulties of drone strikes:

A Marine Times article on December 3 ran the alarming headline “Some Afghan kids aren’t bystanders," reporting on the death of three children in Afghanistan. They were apparently targeted by a U.S. military drone because they appeared to be digging a hole in a road.  

Army Lt. Col. Marion Carrington, quoted in the article, said that “It kind of opens our aperture” that children are being used in the conflict. “In addition to looking for military-age males, it’s looking for children with potential hostile intent.”

Proponents of the drone war, including President Barack Obama, claim that drone strikes are precise and only target terrorists. But a study from Columbia Law School’s Human Rights Institute finds that the number of Pakistani civilians killed in drone strikes is “significantly and consistently underestimated" and that as many as 98% of those killed by drone strikes are civilians.

While it is ultimately impossible to get exact numbers, this means that for every "terrorist" killed by a drone strike, anywhere between 10 and 50 civilians are killed.

Read that sentence again. Let it sink in.

There's no excuse to this kind of behavior! Any one of these drone strike traitors could be one of our neighbors. They will ruthlessly kill you or me (and apparently our neighbors too lololo) just the same if orders from corporate said so.

Maybe not all of them, but a significant number our drone operators will find they have a little twinge of guilt, and shame, for their actions one day as they mature and reflect.  It will be their burden for the rest of their lives.  

They may never even realize why that marriage didn't last, or why they have that substance abuse problem, or what it is that keeps them from developing a meaningful social circle.  

While it is happening, the violence they are inflicting on innocents may seem little more than some video game.  They may become numb to the violence, but that numbing effect unconsciously carries over into other aspects of their lives, and you just can't erase memories at will.

The Book of Esther is the ONLY  book in the Bible that does not mention God.

It is instead a celebration of Jews being permitted to rape and kill (or is it kill and rape) every non-Jew in the country.

And this is celebrated during Purim; their central holiday.

The OT is filled with other examples where, for instance, G*d told some Jew to kill every man, woman, child, and animal in cities X, Y, and Z.

"Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar. It commemorates a time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from extermination."

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/holiday9.html

Yeah, right, maybe in a satanic up is down newspeak world.

ESTHER VIII:11

"wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey"

and because in their eyes every Goy is a potential anti-semite, why take a chance. (kinda like the DHS considering us all potential terrorists...particularly so when the guidelines were written by jews like Morris Dees.  Some things never change).

"that would assault them (Jews),"  Called allowed to defend themselves.  Quit quoting out of context.  The second law was passed to counteract the first law that called for killing all Jews.  The second law was a way to nullify the first law that was passed deceptively in order to wipe out the Jews.

The story below from today's Courthouse News Service describes how AG Holder's Justice Department was going to allow states to have only to give their word that the state provided adequate legal representation to convicts challenging death penalty convictions.  No need for stuff like actual proof to back up the claim of providing competent counsel to death row inmates.    Just trust Obama.  Notice also that thanks to the Patriot Act, habeas corpus no longer exists in the Land of the Free. --- New Death-Row Counsel Rule Blocked Indefinitely By ELIZABETH WARMERDAM 
         

  SAN FRANCISCO (CN) - Changing the rule for the appointment and compensation of counsel for death-row prisoners must wait on the resolution of claims that the rule suffers from "fatal defects," a federal judge ruled.
     The final rule regarding Certification of State Capitol Counsel Systems was already delayed from its Oct. 23 effective date with a temporary restraining order issued by U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken.
     Her latest ruling handed down Wednesday delays the rule indefinitely as the Habeas Corpus Resource Center and Public Defender for Arizona pursue their lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
     States that guarantee death-sentenced prisoners competent counsel and reasonable litigation resources are provided with procedural incentives in federal review of state capital convictions, under Chapter 154 in Title 28 of the U.S. Code. Incentives include the statute of limitations for federal habeas corpus proceedings to be greatly shortened and expedited.
     In 2005, the Patriot Act amended Chapter 154 by giving the attorney general control over certifying the mechanisms that a state uses to appoint and compensate counsel for inmates scheduled for execution. The change also allegedly holds the attorney general to the regulatory requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
     On Sept. 23, 2013, the Justice Department issued a new rule that the Habeas Center alleges does not require a state requesting certification to provide any information as to the state's mechanism for assuring that it will provide competent counsel and adequate compensation and litigation expenses. A state essentially need only assert that it is compliant with the requirements, according to the complaint.
     Wilkin's preliminary injunction prohibits the Justice Department and Holder from putting the rule into effect.
     "Compared to the harm faced by plaintiffs, defendants stand to face little, if any, harm if the Final Rule does not go into effect immediately," she wrote. "The Patriot Act amendments were passed in 2005. After retracting their 2008 proposed rule in 2010, defendants only recently attempted to revive it. An additional delay pending resolution of this lawsuit will not prejudice them. Public interest likewise favors maintaining the status quo while the legality of defendants' rule is determined."

It's what happens when the citizens no longer run the government.

Already they ripped up the constitution and are proposing a new set of rules.

Next the US gets a tyrant or dictator, people are detained (NDAA) and disappear (Stalin) and the government police get brutal.

I used to scoff at the idea of retreating to some island half way around the world. Now, the idea of living a simple life away from the accelerating madness of contemporary Western society doesn't seem at all stupid.

I know how you feel, but hate to give up on OUR COUNTRY and run.

 

If I do it will probably be Uruguay in the country a bit inland.

 

Good water, non gmo beef, veggies, poor. but REAL.

 

I do believe they would be VERY HAPPY if my wife and I showed up.

 

Most likely a Fukushima decision GOD FORBID.

 

Turn your face to "the big guy."
