Black Helicopters over South Houston and Miami

29 January 2013

Smokey the Bear's rules for fire safety – keep it small, keep it in a confined area, and keep an eye on it – apply doubly so to government.

George Rebane

Here’s a 12 minute video taken by Houston’s KTRK news helicopter of a military drill involving what looks like Army H500 helicopters armed with machine guns participating in an exercise that involved some actual firing that got local people excited. KTRK reports –

SkyEye 13 HD was over the south side where at first look, it appears there's a massive SWAT scene happening. People have been calling police, as well as our newsroom, saying they're hearing gunshots in the area of Scott and Airport. It turns out, the Army says, it's a multi-agency training drill. They're doing it at the old Carnegie High School. Helicopters were also involved. The Army isn't giving any details of what the training is about. So if you see the helicopters or hear gunfire, it's only a drill.

It looks like the next kid planning to shoot up a school will have to contend with some real counter fire if he keeps at it long enough to give time for the helicopter gunships to get there. Each can also carry about four armed infantrymen. But there’s nothing to worry about, it’s only a drill against gun toting nut jobs, Islamist terrorists, or whoever else needs to feel the full force of government response in peace or war.

Now many of you may say, Houston was just a one-off, a special training exercise unique to the area or some other bullshit like that. OK, so then what are they doing over Miami at night as reported in this WSVN newscast by a very compliant 'journalist' who isn't surprised that none of this was announced beforehand?

Some paranoids might think that these helicopters actually belong to the Dept of Education SWAT teams in its newly armed capability to collect delinquent student loans – their existing riot guns for that function may not be enough. But then you know how desperate those student loan deadbeats can get.

Now consider if these unannounced 'drills' become so common place that the population at large comes to take little notice, and actually takes comfort in that the government is training to protect us all real good. Would we ever know if someone or group was really apprehended during one of these 'drills'? Would we ever take special notice after becoming sanguine about machine gun fire from low flying helicopters overhead?

In any case, practice makes perfect. And as the good folks at KTRK and WSVN tell us “it’s only a drill.” (H/T to RR reader and correspondent.)

Top Five Reasons the Black Helicopters are flying over Texas and Florida,
5. Jeb and George are preparing to intimidate voters going to the poles during the next election.
4. Preparations for the next wave of Cuban and Mexican immigrants.
3. Training drills for possible gun show rebellions when Bubba and Gator find out they have to submit to a background check, anal probe, or some other indignation the libs have cooked up.
2. Preparing for an uprising if Florida and Texas announce a plan to collect taxes on income.
And, the number one reason the Black Helicopters are flying,
1. Obama just doesn’t trust Southerners.

Oh yes oil Walt. The oil that Rumsfeld said was going to pay for the war. Two trillion dollars later we are still paying for it. That’s why this is still a contemporary issue.
” The bulk of the funds for Iraq’s reconstruction will come from Iraqis,” explained Rumsfeld, who was accompanied at the briefing by Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Iraqis will pay for the rebuilding of their country, the defense secretary noted, through oil revenues, recovered assets, international trade, direct foreign investments and contributions from the international community. ”

As long as we’re paying for the war in Iraq it is a contemporary issue. Your hero Bush 2 passed a couple of trillion on to future generations along with 5000 dead Americans and thousands of injured veterans. All that for what? As long as they are alive responsibility for this will be an open question. You can’t sweep it away as history as much as you like. Even Rumsfelt admitted there were no WMD’s and that they were the main reason for the war.
“If the Bush administration had known there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, it probably wouldn’t have decided to invade in 2003, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said in an interview broadcast Sunday.
Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union” program, Rumsfeld noted there were multiple reasons for attacking Iraq and ousting Saddam Hussein from power.
However, intelligence reports — now shown to have been false — that Iraq possessed WMDs were the main reason for going in, Rumsfeld said.
“No question it was the big one,” he said. Asked if the United States would not have invaded if the administration hadn’t believed Iraq had the weapons of mass destruction, Rumsfeld said: “I think that’s probably right.”

and matters of national security. Same for Korea, and Vietnam. ALL still “classified”.
And you don’t think the same game of hide the goods didn’t happen with the Gulf war? There is PLENTY we don’t know. But just because “the press says so” is far from fact and reality.
There are things that happened and saw, when I was in the service I still can’t disclose today.

OBL could have been a charcoal briquette with a singed turban a long time ago

Optic weapons are reality, but somehow Hellfire missiles on a drone is the tool of choice.
So the real question is,, have we used them? Did those N. Korean missiles really fail? Just because “the media” didn’t report it, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, or exists. the same goes for what or wasn’t “found” in the Gulf war.
We are fed the information they “allow” us to choke down.

Dynamite seems to be much more effective than a whole arsenal of guns. Dynamite’s Not popular, is it? It is regulated, but if you were determined, you could make it or an ammonia device. But I guess killing is not the main objective, it really a matter of making other people experience pain where you can see it. That appears to be something that makes guns special, and the near autofire weapons makes it easy to inflict and see it. Some sort of revenge/compensation thing, I guess.

I find it rather “interesting” that there is now talk among the right to try to pass the following as a “replacement to the 2nd amendment”:

Recognizing that the need to arm the populace as a militia is no longer of much concern, but also realizing that firearms are a part of our history and culture and are used by many for both personal defense and sport, this site has proposed a new 2nd Amendment — an amendment to replace the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. This proposed text is offered as a way to spark discussion of the topic.
Section 1. The second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
Section 2. The right of the people to keep arms reasonable for hunting, sport, collecting, and personal defense shall not be infringed.

Section 3. Restrictions of arms must be found to be reasonable under Section 2 by a two-thirds vote of Congress in two consecutive sessions of Congress before they can be forwarded to the President for approval.

These people are so far and out of touch with the majority of American’s, that they feel the American public would believe their cry’s and support something like this?

BTW George, I notice that the Captchas were not on when I first started logging in from the desktop as JB, for the first couple of days. They are on now incessantly. I will be very tempted to do the experiment of yet another unknown sock from a totally different machine and IP, and see if they are off there. As you may have gathered, they slow me down by all of 20 seconds at best, missing only about 1 in 20 when I get sloppy.
