Drones, Martial Law, Trump And Musk All On The Same Team
Trump needs his own Reichstag fire to declare martial law and make him the new Fuhrer.
So he calls on the richest man in the world, who is the shadow ruler in waiting. Elon Musk is the one person with the riches, the politics and the technology to launch a phalanx of drones to foment panic throughout the nation and create a demand for a strong man, ala trump.
Far fetched? Maybe.
It is a political strategy known by many names, the tail wagging the dog comes to mind. So does the “dead cat” strategy, also known as “deadcatting,” a political strategy of deliberately making a shocking announcement to divert the public and media attention away from problems or failures in other areas. It is one of trump’s most common methods of attack.
While in office, trump repeatedly used deadcatting. In April 2017 he ordered airstrikes against Syria coincidentally at a time the federal government was ramping up its investigation into Russian interference in support of trump in the 2016 election. In January 2020, trump signed off on the airstrike assassination of Iran’s General Qasem Soleimani right around the time of trump’s first impeachment trial.
Throughout history, tyrants have exaggerated or invented an enemy that would cause citizens to join together and forget about political differences in the name of protecting the motherland.
An infamous example was the Reichstag fire, an arson attack on the Reichstag building, home of the German parliament in Berlin, on February 27, 1933, one month after Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany. The fire was set by Marinus van der Lubbe, a Dutch council communist, but the author William Shirer wrote that van der Lubbe was goaded into setting a fire while the Nazis had set their own more elaborate fire at the same time.
The Nazis attributed the fire to Communist agitators and used it as a pretext to claim that Communists were plotting against the government. The false claims were enough to cause President Paul von Hindenburg to issue the Reichstag Fire Decree suspending civil liberties, and pursue a “ruthless confrontation” with the Communists. It was the pivotal moment in the establishment of Nazi Germany.
The notorious high ranking Nazi, Hermann Goring, was interviewed on April 18, 1946, in his jail cell during the Nuremberg trials. Goring explained the Nazi strategy that nothing brings a nation together like a common enemy. It could be drones or it could be Jews.
Trump stands to gain from the drone hysteria in hopes that the American people will be distracted while he fails at his various campaign promises to lower prices, to end the war in Ukraine, and to bring back the “golden age of America” while he fixes everything America.
He desperately needs the media to stop focusing on his cabinet picks, including a drunken womanizer; a Syrian apologist; a sycophant foaming at the possibility of going after trump’s antagonists; and a quack who questions whether the polio vaccine is safe, among other similarly quaky claims.
The federal government insists it is trying to get to the bottom of the drone panic. A joint statement from government agencies looking into the sightings, said the drones are “a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones.”
A government statement did nothing to deter Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., a retired dentist and solid trump backer, who added fuel to the drone mystery when he claimed he had inside information that “Iran launched a mothership probably about a month ago that contains these drones. That mothership, I’m going to tell you the deal, it’s off the East Coast of the United States of America. They’ve launched drones.”
“I’ve learned, for real, that there is circumstantial evidence that there’s an Iranian mothership off the East Coast of the United States, and that’s launching these drone incursions,” said Van Drew who declined to identify his sources because they are “individuals who are reputable, individuals who speak with authority.”
“First, a Chinese spy balloon drifted across U.S. airspace for a week. Now, unidentified drones are flying over New Jersey, avoiding radar detection. Gaps in our airspace are being exploited, and because of it, the safety of Americans is at risk,” Van Drew posted.
Van Drew proposed that flight restrictions be placed over the New Jersey airspace “and an order be given to neutralize any drone aircraft in violation of those restrictions.”
“In neutralizing these drones we must ensure the safety of people on ground and should also attempt to keep the drones intact so that we may study their capabilities,” he wrote.
The Pentagon quickly exploded Van Drew’s claim.
“There is not any truth to that — there is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States, and there’s no so-called mothership launching drones towards the United States,” deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters.
Van Drew subsequently backed down from his claims that Iran is behind the drones.
Trump said that he once again knows the truth.
“The government knows what is happening,” said trump tossing out yet another of his thousands of baseless conspiracy claims, like the one about him losing the 2020 election because of voter fraud.
“Look, our military knows where they took off from. If it’s a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went. And for some reason, they don’t want to comment. And I think they’d be better off saying what it is. our military knows and our president knows. And for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense,” trump said. “Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!!”
The ever-irresponsible trump’s suggestion about shooting down drones was directly contradicted in warnings from experts that some of the drones may be low-flying private aircraft. Recall trump’s earlier suggestions that Americans should drink bleach to avoid the COVID-19 virus.
New Jersey State Police and the FBI in Newark said there has been an increase of pilots “being hit in the eyes with lasers because people think they see an Unmanned Aircraft Systems.”
“We’re also concerned people will take matters into their own hands and fire a weapon at an aircraft,” FBI Newark Acting Special Agent in Charge Nelson Delgado said. “Not only is this act against the law, but it poses an incredible danger to the pilots and passengers on those aircraft.”
Conspiracy theorist and right wing nutjob, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said she is absolutely sure that the government is controlling the drones and refuses to tell the American people what is going on. Greene was absolutely certain when she said in 2018 that Jewish space lasers were starting the massive California wildfires.
The FBI has received more than 5,000 tips with around 100 leads generated, but authorities said there is no threat to public safety. The largely Republican drumbeat toward mass hysteria and government action is growing and it will continue until trump’s inauguration.
State Sen. Jon Bramnick, R-N.J., wants the state to issue “a limited state of emergency banning all drones until the public receives an explanation regarding these multiple sightings.”
Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey, a military research and production facility in Morris County, has reported 11 confirmed sightings by a police officer or security guard in response but the causes remain unknown. Drones also have been reported over trump’s golf course in Bedminster.
The mayors of 21 towns in New Jersey wrote Gov. Phil Murphy demanding action over the mysterious drones.
New Jersey state Sen. Holly Schepisi called the DHS response “abysmal.”
“[It] actually made me feel less confident in our federal government’s reaction to this issue rather than more,” said Schepisi. “For the federal government to not dedicate every defense resource needed to identify the origin and purpose of these drones in the most densely populated state in the nation is inexplicable and completely unacceptable.”
Schepisi is no stranger to phony conspiracies. In 2014, Schepisi introduced a bill that would have allowed certain children under the age of six to attend school without receiving a Hepatitis B vaccine. The bill did not become law.
Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., a 22-term member of Congress, called on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to help identify and address the widespread drone activity over the state.
Lies not unlike the “invasion” of the drones have been created to start many wars down through history. For example:
American involvement in the Vietnam War escalated rapidly following the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Incident. On Aug. 4, 1964, U.S. Navy destroyers, Maddox and Turner Joy, reported that they were under attack by communist torpedo boats off the coast of North Vietnam. The two warships returned fire and reportedly drove off the raiders.
Within minutes of a second skirmish, President Lyndon Johnson went on national TV to condemn what he characterized as repeated acts of aggression by Hanoi. He vowed retaliation. On Aug. 10, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution granting Johnson wide latitude to wage war in Indochina.
Subsequent investigations revealed that the Aug. 4 raid by North Vietnamese attack boats probably never actually occurred. The destroyers had likely detected only false radar returns or “ghosts”; no enemy torpedoes were ever fired.
America’s 1898 war with Spain capped a national furor stoked by hawkish legislators in Washington and the newspaper baron, William Randolph Hearst.
Chilly relations between Spain and the United States over the fate of Cuba suddenly became white hot in Feb. 1898 when the American battleship USS Maine exploded while anchored off Havana, killing 260 sailors.
Hearst launched a tsunami of press coverage claiming that Spain had caused the explosion. Angry mobs gathered nationwide, chanting: “Remember the Maine. To hell with Spain!” Washington soon declared war. In three and a half months, U.S. troops had ejected the Spanish not just from Cuba, but Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam as well. Investigators later concluded that the blast that destroyed the Maine was probably causad by a coal explosion, not a Spanish mine or torpedo.
In his 2003 State of the Union address, President George W. Bush laid out the administration’s case for war with Iraq.
“The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa,” Bush said. Bush warned that Baghdad was recklessly building an atomic weapon and America had to disarm the regime before it attacked the United States.
Bush’s claims about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction were widely rejected internationally and ultimately proven to be entirely false, as were the White House’s repeated assertions that Saddam Hussein had played a role in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Or maybe it’s all part of Project Blue Beam, a supposedly covert operation by global elites to establish a totalitarian world government by orchestrating fake celestial or supernatural events using futuristic NASA technology.
The theory originated in the 1990s, proposed by Canadian journalist Serge Monast, who died in 1996. Proponents of the theory expected the nefarious project to begin in 1995, then 1996, then after Monast died, the millennium was proposed as the start date.
According to the theory, advanced holographic technology would project images of religious figures or extraterrestrial invasions in the sky, tailored to specific cultural beliefs. The aim would be to deceive populations, creating global panic and dismantling existing religious and social structures.
Earthquakes would be triggered to unearth hidden artifacts, “proving” existing religions are false. Holographic projections would simulate the return of divine figures, and finally, technology would manipulate human thoughts, creating the illusion of direct communication with deities and simulating an alien invasion to justify authoritarian control.
Trump supporter Roseanne Barr is a Project Blue Beam believer who posted on X, “Now you see why I mention Project Blue Beam every week on my podcast…..” Her post had more than 2 million views by Sunday.
Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones also posted about Project Blue Beam on X, sharing an interview with ufologist Steven Greer about “how Project Blue Beam will be used.”
Charlie Kirk News, a fan account for right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk posted, “WE ARE F****D. THE DRONES ARE PROJECT BLUE BEAM,” which was viewed 7.8 million times by Sunday.
