783Le jour même où nous publiions une analyse sur l’emploi des drones (UVS) aux USA mêmes (voir le 23 mai 2012), le site NaturalNews.com annonçait que des opérations d’utilisation de ces engins aux USA mêmes sont déjà en cours d'une façon routinière aux USA. La chose a été révélée par une requête faite au nom du Freedom of Information Act (FIA), qui a permis d’obtenir effectivement des précisions sur des opérations de UVS à partir de 63 sites, dans vingt États de l’Union.
C’est la FAA, dont on croyait qu’elle n’avait pas encore autorisé de tels vols, qui a du répondre aux requêtes sous l’autorité du FIA. Parmi les précisions apportées, il y a le détail des missions des UVS, surtout employés pour la surveillance de la frontière mexicaine ; mais il y a aussi des missions d’UVS au-dessus de 19 établissements scolaires et universitaires, qui font évidemment partie d'un programme de surveillance et de “sécurisation” sociale. L’emploi des UVS de toutes catégories devrait augmenter exponentiellement aux USA, et la suspicion est grandissante que ce soit largement pour des opérations de “sécurisation” de la situation sociale dans le pays. Voici des extraits du texte de NatureNews.com, le 23 mai 2012.
«Following what has been described as a “Landmark” Freedom of Information Act request, the federal government has been forced to reveal that unmanned spy drones are being launched from 63 sites in 20 states. Further, some of the drones are of a make and model that has been used overseas to target insurgents and terrorists with missiles, the government's information revealed.
»The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which is authorized to license and track drone usage, says most of the spy crafts are being launched from military installations, police agencies and Border Patrol/border enforcement entities. But surprisingly, some 19 colleges and universities are also in the spy drone business. Those institutions include Cornell, the University of Colorado, Georgia Tech, and Eastern Gateway Community College, and some experts believe these schools may be developing drone technology, London's Daily Telegraph reported. Some 21 drone manufacturers are also registered with the FAA to operate the small aerial surveillance craft as well.
»The FAA released the information in response to a lawsuit by the Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF), a non-partisan group which advocates for more privacy rights - a tough job in this day and age of wholesale DNA sampling and online eavesdropping by the government and the private sector alike.
»The EFF's Web site features - ironically enough - an interactive, Google Earth-type map of the U.S. indicating where the 63 operational sites are located, and describing them. What the descriptions don't include are the types of drones operating from those sites. The FAA has assured the EFF that the agency will release that information at a later date – though no specific one was given… […]
»[…T]he government doesn't appear ready – or concerned enough about your rights – to curb drone usage domestically. In fact, says former New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano, the Pentagon is rushing headlong into domestic drone deployment, of course as a way to increase our security
»The Air Force, writes Napolitano, may be planning to dispatch one to a “backyard near you,” ostensibly to help local cops “find missing persons or kidnap victims, or to chase bad guys.” “If the drone operator sees you doing anything of interest (Is your fertilizer for the roses or to fuel a bomb? Is that Sudafed for your cold or your meth habit? Are you smoking in front of your kids?), the feds say they may take a picture of you and keep it. The feds predict that they will dispatch or authorize about 30,000 of these unmanned aerial vehicles across America in the next 10 years,” he writes.
»At the same time, the EFF complaint disclosed, about 300 more state and local police departments have applications pending before the FAA to use drones they have already bought (many with federal – i.e., taxpayer – funds, no less).»
Parallèlement, le 23 mai 2012 sur Infowars.com, le commentateur Alex Jones présente un programme documentant diverses initiatives en développement, impliquant l’usage de drones pour le maintien de l’ordre. Une référence est donnée vers un texte du 23 mai 2012 du site-parent PrisonPlanet.com, donnant des précisions sur les projets des forces de sécurité aux USA pour l’emploi de drones équipés, et même armés pour le maintien de l’ordre.
