[2012 Sept] Drones: Instruments of State Terror By Stephen Lendman The dominant narrative claims drone strikes are precise and effective. They involve �targeted killings.� Terrorists are assassinated with �minimal downsides or collateral impacts.� As a result, America is much safer. �This narrative is false.� It�s a bald-faced lie. Drone strikes are indiscriminate. Mostly noncombatant civilians are killed. The SU/NYU report followed nine months of intensive research.....Civilian rescue parties, funerals, and weddings are targeted. Evidence disproves Obama saying drone killings are �targeted� and �focused.� Obama�s a serial liar. Nothing he says is credible. Last winter he claimed drones haven�t �caused a huge number of civilian casualties. They�re targeted, focused at people who are on a list of active terrorists trying to go in and harm Americans.� BIJ research showed otherwise. Hundreds of civilians are killed, including dozens of children....Predator drones reign death on civilians regularly. CIA operatives conduct them. Battlefield casualty figures are suppressed.....
......State-sanctioned extrajudicial killings are lawless. Harvard�s Naz Modirzadeh said: �Not to mince words here, if it is not in a situation of armed conflict, unless it falls into the very narrow area of imminent threat then it is an extra-judicial execution.� .....drone strikes targeting rescuers �are like attacking the Red Cross on the battlefield. It�s not legitimate to attack anyone who is not a combatant.�
.....�Their presence terrorizes men, women, and children, giving rise to anxiety and psychological trauma among civilian communities.�
......�These missiles are very powerful. They destroy human beings.� �There is nobody left and small pieces left behind. Pieces. Whatever is left is just little pieces of bodies and cloth.�
.....At most, only 2% of victims are high-level combatants. Evidence suggests that US strikes facilitate anti-American recruitment. The New York Times said drone attacks replaced Guantanamo as �the recruiting tool of choice for militants.�
......Targeted killings also undermine respect for international and US rule of law principles. They�re lawless and unconscionable. Secrecy is official policy. Transparency and accountability are absent.
[vid]Living Under Drones http://www.warcosts.com http://livingunderdrones.org/ Since 2004, up to 884 innocent civilians, including at least 176 children, have died from US drone strikes in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan. A new report from the Stanford and New York University law schools finds drone use has caused widespread post-tramatic stress disorder and an overall breakdown of functional society in North Waziristan. In addition, the report finds the use of a "double tap" procedure, in which a drone strikes once and strikes again not long after, has led to deaths of rescuers and medical professionals. Many interviewees told the researchers they didn't know what America was before drones. Now what they know of America is drones, death and terror. Follow the conversation @WarCosts #UnderDrones

NYPD's message to the public Take a close look at what the NYPD is putting up on the streets of NYC these days. What do you really see? Missiles being fired by drones to FAMILIES. See the Dad, mom, and little girl? They are flat out telegraphing that they are first spying on families, then hunting them down. Not terrorists, bank robbers, or whatever...BUT FAMILIES. The message is clear. In the USA, the family is the enemy to be hunted down and destroyed.
[2012 Sept] Obama�s statements about the drone war are �total baloney� according to outside experts This allows the CIA to strike absolutely anyone who supposedly fits the �signature� of a terrorist. In other words, if they think you look or act like a terrorist they can kill you without even knowing your identity. Simple as that....technically speaking, the U.S. military considers any male of military age in a strike zone to be a combatant. Therefore, when they say they �are very careful about avoiding civilian casualties� they actually mean they �are very careful about killing anyone except males of military age.�
