US Drone(s) Crashing
- Thread starter SUP3RNOVA
- Start date
Imperfect = faulty. We're all talking about the same thing here. The fact that it faulted makes it imperfect. Clearly they didn't know it would crash, but prior experience with drones has shown that they do crash quite a bit.
It's not only the risk of our crashed tech being stolen, it's relationships with foreign countries that's at greater risk. Crashing one into Iran isn't exactly like crashing one into Canada.
Evidenced by the obvious fact that the powers that be Really Want to go to war with Iran; my guess is that this was likely one of many "micro false flags," along with the embassy news last month, all meant to build up to a crescendo of hatred between our countries in order to whip up the american war machine again.
We could probably plot this shit out on a graph and predict when the war will be...

Go ahead and do that, and then get back to me. Post it here actually, makes everything easier.
While you're at it, post any of your conspiracy predictions that came true.
you don't think we're not spying on them do you?
mm you're talking about americans here buzzy. the rights of sovereign states don't really do too much for them. maybe you've noticed. anything to help the media drumbeat, the us has been trying to provoke iran since 2006ish. this is just another beat on that drum.
unless...they really didn't mean to lose it and the iranians (read:russians) did hack it out of the sky.
If that's true, the absolute last thing you'll hear the pentagram admit is that lockheed sells them overpriced tinkertoys with shit cyber warfare protection that allowed the iranians (read:russians) to take remote control of the craft and coast it to a smooth landing.

Wikipedia owner threatens to 'turn off' site as protest against U.S. anti-piracy bill | Mail Online
I read the last link before looking at any other just due to the title.
How does shutting down Wikipedia help fight a bill that's goal is to shut down Wikipedia?
And after more thinking, I guess it does make sense that the risk of Iran finding out we're spying on them is worth the reward of knowing what they're up to. Nothing left to say really except I wish we were smarter and had better equipment.
And to those claiming Iran did successfully hack and land it...the pictures/video's they posted could have easily been of models they built. Not that hard to fake something like that. If they start releasing accurate information they claim to have recovered from the drone (in a lawsuit), then it becomes a bit more serious.
But then again they could always lie and make up their own story about what they recovered (since we are spying on them, they know what they're up to).

Thank you for the spirited discussion.
All I could gather is that Wikipedia is threatening to black out their site used by millions of people. SOPA is working to black out pirated information, which Wikipedia falls under (I guess according to the article).
What would blacking out Wikipedia do? Fuck over college students that base all their essays on it? There are plenty of useful information sources aside from Wikipedia.
Um, just shooting the shit, dude... I don't have the time nor the tinfoil to engage in that kind of thing.
You first. I'm being watched. :thumbsup:
Um, I'm definitely not spending the time to do it but if you did a word count on all of your posts, you've probably written the Bible by now. I'm sure you have the time. And seeing as over half the nonsense you post is about government conspiracies, you have more than enough tinfoil. Oh noes the media always shoots Ron Paul at bad angles? Anything to say about his official website?
People like you are funny, you call them out on bullshit and they go silent. But they'll sure as hell be in the next discussion spewing more bullshit.
Whats a matter little sup3rgoob? Having a bad day and feeling attacked on all sides lately?
If you knew jack about me you wouldn't think for a second I'm the kind of guy that has time on his hands to spend all day on a forum posting about conspiracy theories... I just happen to be able to multitask pretty damn well and that kind of stuff is fun to do as an aside while I'm getting work done on something else.
So congratulations on arguing with 1/2 (or less) of my brain.

Ah, didn't know auto-commenting your useless spam blogs took so much time away from acknowledging the fact that your opinion against the media is unfairly biased based on the fact that Ron Paul's presentation isn't even good on his own website. You're either genuinely wrong, or trolling. I'll assume you're trolling from here on out.
I had a good day actually. Bought a suit for a formal I'm hosting Saturday, had a really nice meal, did some work, learned a bit about the education system, and spent some time here.
Correction:
Automating my highly profitable static sites takes so much time away from arguing with people like you who think my playful comments on a forum called "shooting the shit" are so threatening to their worldview that they feel the need to keep responding over and over again.
Because it was near the border with Iran, plus plenty of countries have the ability to covertly monitor Afghan airspace.
Aircraft crash all the time. Does that mean all aircraft are faulty?
1,653 aircraft accidents were recorded in 2010 according to the NTSB database.
1,796 were recorded in 2009
1,916 were recorded in 2008
2,009 were recorded in 2007

Even worst than crashing, is getting one of those captured almost intact.
