Well, bless people’s hearts.
I guess when a person minds their own business, they don’t think about things like these.

What ever happened to the lay-back murmur of ‘Well how about that?’, then turn to the sports or favourite feature ‘page’ or get on with the chores?

Hi Ali. While I find it interesting I think people have to wonder also, what does the government know and when did they know it. I don’t worry about drones. Got a couple here in the park where people fly them around and look at others homes and stuff. I don’t care. Now these are not 6 feet military style drones that cost tens of thousands of dollars. But so far they have not been shown to be a threat to people. People in the US have gotten so used to being afraid, so used to instantly grabbing fear about anything they don’t know by the training the right wing media has taught them, that this unknown pushes panic buttons. Again I don’t fear people watching me, and I don’t fear the unknown. The reason I use so much computer security is I feel if they are making money off me and my data they should pay me for it. Hugs

Someone will write a book about this event from the angle of the various reactions. Someone else (at least two or three) will write academic papers the slant being from their discipline. And of course someone will see any opportunity for a few easy and quick bucks by writing yet another ‘Conspiracy’ book.
And we might never know just exactly what was going on.

Hi Roger. I have been thinking about that. I think that we will get the information by next summer. The rumors and outrage will cause the pressure on the government to say something. I really think it is one of three things. Military trials, corporate groups experimenting, or movie companies gathering footage. I think others can think of more reasons than that. But I rule out foreign governments due to the fact that if they were going to spy work they wouldn’t be so open when there are far better and easier ways to capture people’s wireless communications. I also rule out school groups because drones described are costly in the 10s of thousands of dollars. Controllers that cover that much distance are costly. Civilian drones on the market have a range of a little less than 2 miles. Anyway you have a writer’s grand imagination, I am sure you can think / imagine far more groups or uses than I did. Have a grand new year for your entire family and those you care about. Hugs.

I agree Scottie and do think we will have to wait and see just exactly what was going on over New Jersey last year.
It may be that or one two of these were the genuine thing, which naturally started folk mis-identifying other objects, and some malicious mischiefs getting their kicks from putting for AI generated graphics.
It could have been some private enterprise and whoever started it might well have done it for commercial purposes and are now hiding in embarrassment lest revelations cause their stock values to tumble in the scandal.
These are far too turbulent times to be fooling about with the public nerves.
In the wake of the dreadful events in New Orleans and the lesser one outside of a Trump building using a Telsa vehicle folk will be more nervous than usual….and someone will be bound to be trying to link those events with the New Jersey one; not that they will worrying about the irrationality of it.
As we have both said Scottie….we shall see.
Meanwhile we wish you and Ron a safe New Year, one in which you will have a personally peaceful time.
Take care both.
Roger & Sheila

Hi Roger. Yes I agree. On the two events you mentioned within hours tRump, Republicans, and the right wing hate media were claiming it was brown people from the open southern border and radical Muslims who snuck into the country from again the southern border. Of course they never set the record correct that both were native born US citizens and either still in the military or had been in it. But it is the open southern border we needed to look at, right. It was all to push racist immigration polices that tRump wants to push. Hugs

Yeah they must be trying like mad to backtrack from looking all kinds of stupid when looking at the facts of Matthew Livelsberger.
1. White male.
2. A noteworthy military service record.
3. A Trump supporter.
4. A declared patriot.
Of course in the fiction world of the Conspiracy Junkie a ‘credible’ explanation is creatable.
We, the public might never know the full story behind Matthew Livelsberger’s journey to those actions he took and the mindset he was in. As the credible facts begin to appear, including he had possibly suffered a traumatic brain injury to me this suggests a person in a tormented and confused state we can barely comprehend.
We society expect folk to be trained to work in a world of violence and obedience of orders which civilians would baulk at. We then expect our Military to go ‘out there’ and perform acts of violence and death as a day to day business. They suffer injuries physical, mental and emotional.
And then we expect them to come back home and merge into society once more?
And to make it worse the incoming administration wants to ramp up the Fear and Loathing factors?
Unbelievable,

Hi Roger. Sadly we don’t have the media you do in the grand UK. Our right wing media never corrected their assertions that it was a brown Muslim immigrant trying to destroy the wonderful white Christian culture of the USA.
As for what you said about training people for violence and expecting them to behave. I think you have a kind of point. For most of the people trained and sent to fight do not turn into homicidal killers. In fact few countries are involved in sending their young to active war zones like the US does.
The fact is the US is raising more and more radical extreme people willing to use violence to get their own way on things. I think that is also happening worldwide. I do wonder if it is because the right is constantly attacking and trying to destroy public education. It seems they want to raise willing thugs and low information workers so I really think this is a worldwide action by billionaires trying to make themselves rulers like in the old ages. Hugs

I’ve said it before Scottie and will keep on. You just cannot impose your scatter-thought agendas on a nation the size of the USA, particularly when:
1. Nearly half of the votes were not for you.
2. There are vibrant opposition groups.
3. And most salutary of all….Not all of those guns are owned by Trump and MAGA followers.
