US drone war in Pakistan prompts fear and anger

Drones fly with China-made chips. China-made chips have backdoors.

Everyone could manufacture drones soon. And can hide the identity of the owner and operator. So drones build by several companies, with parts from several nations, can by operated by any nation or non-nation, for spying, assassination, war, against anyone, anywhere, any time.

Nations. Crime organisations. Cartels. Secret services. Proxies.

Everyone can strike everyone everywhere, at any time.

The state's monopole for military powers gets lost. We go back in time by several centuries - into the era of the worst and longest-lasting chains of wars Europe has seen.

First we redid mercenary companies. Then outsourcing military services and maintenance to private contractors. Now we do drones.

In recent months I had changed my mind on the acceptance of drones, for these reasons. The implications of their spreading are not that obvious ate first glance. But they are frightening.

Now consider the already running erosion of democratic principles and civil rights. The inner collapse of checks and balances. They takeover by business lobbies. Hightech weapon producers seeking new markets to replace losses from growing defense budgets int he west. The high demand for civil surveillance and policing hightech. Riot control. No pleasant outlook but quite a dystopic. Drones of many kinds are already used against ourselves - by our own governments. And they want more of that, like they also want the total camera surveillance of all public space. why stopping at people'S housedoors? what they do not know they cannot protest against.

Hehe, just pulling your leg. It all exists, sure, but really - it is all done for a good purpose only, to chase the bad guys only. So sweet dreams everybody - good night! [sigh of relief]
