SOTT Exclusive: U.S. drone army terrorizing populations worldwide, concerned ISIS could do the same

Hardly a day goes by without ISIS making the headlines. If they're not staging terror attacks wielding Kalashnikovs, then you can be sure they're plotting to do something that threatens Western 'freedom and democracy.' The first to inform us are, of course, U.S. officials; somehow they're always first in the know. Apparently, ISIS could now be plotting to build a 'drone army.'

As U.S.-led coalition forces confirm they shot down an ISIS drone this week, experts warn the extremists could soon adapt the technology for battle purposes.

The self-proclaimed Islamic State—also known as ISIS or ISIL—has added drones to its arsenal, and for the first time, the U.S.-led coalition took one of their drones out, officials announced Wednesday.

While U.S. officials are quick to denounce anyone who questions or reveals their terror activities as a 'conspiracy theorist' and are every ready to ratchet up even more plans designed to demonize such people, they have no qualms about spreading some of these theories themselves. After all, if it comes from the mouths of the official talking heads, then it must be OK.

"They don't have reusable attack drones, but I think it is just a matter of time before they jury-rig surveillance drones into flying IEDs. Basically, they could turn them into little kamikaze drones."

Largely omitted from the article is the fact that another extremist group - this one not waving a black-and-white flag but wearing suits and ties and sitting in high offices somewhere in the U.S. - has already adapted the said technology for surveillance and battle purposes and is terrorizing the population of Middle East, Central Asia, Africa and elsewhere across the planet. According to one report, the recipient of the most people killed by drones Nobel Peace Prize, the poster child of the U.S. empire, Obama, has has killed more people with drones than died on 9/11.

One striking example is a 13-year-old Yemeni boy, who recounted his experiences with U.S. drones - which he refers to as "death machines" - that killed his brother and father a few months before he himself was gunned down by a CIA drone.

A 13-year-old boy killed in Yemen last month by a CIA drone strike had told the just months earlier that he lived in constant fear of the "death machines" in the sky that had already killed his father and brother.

"I see them every day and we are scared of them," said Mohammed Tuaiman, speaking from al-Zur village in Marib province, where he died two weeks ago.

"A lot of the kids in this area wake up from sleeping because of nightmares from them and some now have mental problems. They turned our area into hell and continuous horror, day and night, we even dream of them in our sleep."

Yet the U.S. officials have the gall to come out with statements such as: "These strikes are legal, they are ethical and they are wise. The U.S. government takes great care in deciding to pursue an al Qaeda terrorist, to ensure precision and to avoid loss of innocent life."

Apparently 'ethical and wise' strikes include, among terrorizing, killing and traumatizing children and civilians, deliberate bombings of schools, funerals, weddings and rescuers, followed by manipulation of data on civilian casualties. One tactic the CIA uses is that they would first cause the carnage, then wait for more people to gather, either to provide aid to the wounded or when there's a funeral of U.S. drone victims, so that they could kill even more. Welcome to the perpetual U.S. death machine, funded by the tax-payers.

It's no wonder that the U.S. drone pilots are quitting in record numbers.

One anonymous U.S. counterterrorism propaganda official would report to the : "One must wonder why an effort that has so carefully gone after terrorists who plot to kill civilians has been subjected to so much misinformation. Let's be under no illusions — there are a number of elements who would like nothing more than to malign these efforts and help Al Qaeda succeed."

Basically if you question or have grievances about the U.S. effort that has mainly gone after civilians, you are an Al Qaeda sympathizer - you can't make this stuff up.

It's not uncommon for the U.S. to deflect from their terror activities by pointing a finger at someone/something else as this report comes following the downing of the U.S. predator drone over Latakia by the Syrian Air Defenses. Given that U.S. is quick to laud their 'counterterrorism' activities, one might wonder what the surveillance drone was doing in an area where ISIS isn't even operating.

According to one analyst, the U.S. drone was actually spying on the Syrian Arab Army in order to pass on information to al-Baghdadi and his ISIS thugs. Since the links between U.S. and ISIS have long been established and more evidence keeps piling, this doesn't seem too far-fetched.

Whatever the case, the propagandists in charge are quick to deflect from the elephant in the room, while pointing a finger at a mouse that might not even be there. Pay no attention to the already existing U.S. drone army, or the all-encompassing surveillance system that is already in place, it's those 'Islamic' terrorists - that we propped up in the first place - that you need to worry about. Even if ISIS does get a hold of a drone army - and all the carnage they could cause - that will hardly have an impact on replacing the U.S. as the biggest bully on the 'grand chessboard' given their decades long campaign to maintain the position.
