INSECT-SIZED SPY DRONE WITH DRAGONFLY WINGS MAKES SPYING EASY - Smart tech, dumb border control - While Europeans develop anti-terror gadgets, they allow hordes of jihadists into their own countries

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • The gadget could even fly into heavily guarded rooms full of jihadists and provide soldiers on the battlefield a picture of what is going onFirst, you may ask yourself why is British intelligence revealing the existence of this gadget.  In fact, this is a variation of spying technology that has been around for many years. 
  • Next, you may wonder at the UTTER ABSURDITY of our culture, where we develop ever more sophisticated technology to deal with Jihadists - while we invite millions of them to settle into our countries. 
  • The West, particularly Europe, is driving itself into bankruptcy by paying social services to million of Muslims who have very little chance of becoming a productive workforce.
  • In addition, billions of euros are needed to pay for extra policing, and terror monitoring expenses. 
  • These costs are rising exponentially as the number of Muslim migrants and their offspring increase to the point where sometime in mid-century they will outnumber indigenous Europeans.  
  • Economic collapse before cultural collapse?  The economic collapse of many European countries may happen before white Europeans become a minority.  Sweden appears to be first in line. 
  • European governments have given up.  They just can't keep up with threats and acts of Muslim terror so, as the French PM recently told the citizens he is supposed to protect:  Just learn to live with terrorism.  
  • Openly waving the white flag of surrender would be rather embarrassing, so authorities engage in make-believe resistance, or what could be compared to rearranging the deck chairs in a sinking Titanic.
  • They catch a few jihadists here and there, they threaten to ban burkas and close down radical mosques, and they develop spying gadgets - all for show - while they continue to admit millions of potential jihadists. 
  • At the same time, and with a straight face, governments and media vehemently deny all connection between Islam and terror.
  • Governments' refusal to enforce border control has been characterized as TREASON.  Based on current evidence and demographic trends, the end of European civilization is not IF anymore, but WHEN. 
  • Our elites are just trying to make the transition into the Dark Ages as smooth as possible, by appeasing the occupier through silencing anti-Islamization dissent, and any comment calling attention to Muslim violence and crime. 
  • Law-abiding people are being investigated, threatened, and even incarcerated, for the crime of insulting Islam.  Even victims of rape are told to be silent.  News media and social media are fully collaborating in this censorship.
  • Governments have created a situation where the public fears both Muslim violence and government oppression.  Shocking as it may seem, this is nothing short of collaboration with terror for the dismantlement of European civilization.   

Britain brags about their insect-sized spy drone.  Yes, sure, nobody will notice it.   

  • The tiny drone has four wings and four legs to let it perch on surfaces
  • The gadget could even fly into heavily guarded rooms full of jihadists and provide soldiers on the battlefield a picture of what is going on
  • Other new devices include a Star Wars style laser weapons system, and mobile robots that can detect chemical weapons 
  • Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the MoD’s new innovation initiative would ‘help keep Britain safe’.  He said this with a straight face, while his government allows millions of Muslims, most of them with radical Islamist ideology, to invade and settle in the country - at taxpayers' expense.
  • In the meantime any Muslim with something as simple as a kitchen knife or a truck can wreak havoc.
  •  

    DAILY MAIL - It is one of the futuristic pieces of kit currently being developed for the Ministry of Defence and the UK’s security forces as part of the MoD’s new innovation project.

    Drones will continue to represent a threat to aircraft safety, regardless or regulations.  Although the US has a law against drones and model aircraft being within 5 miles of an airport, the law means nothing to those with evil intents.
    Drone in near miss scare at 700ft with Heathrow airliner: Fears Christmas must have flown by amateur pilots could cause disaster in the skies.

  • Incident was rated as risk rating of A - the most serious of near-collisions
  • Pilot spotted the drone at 700ft after air traffic control radars had missed it
  • It comes amid growing concerns about drones being flown by amateurs
  • Drones expected to be Christmas best-seller with models as cheap as £35

    DRONE GOES INSIDE A VOLCANO ERUPTING CRATER - The Bardarbunga volcano in Iceland up close.

    Flying into the furnace: Drone fitted with GoPro captures blistering footage of a volcano erupting - but doesn't survive the heat



    The footage was shot using a DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter drone fitted with a GoPro Hero3 action camera
  • It was captured by Eric Cheng, director of aerial imaging for DJI, and photographer Ragnar Th. Sigurdsson
  • The eruption began in August and the footage was recorded in the Bardarbunga region of Iceland on 20 September
  • Mr Cheng and Mr Sigurdsson got as close to the eruption as they could by walking in boots and gas masks
  • The GoPro camera didn’t survive the trip – but its memory card did and the footage was recorded wirelessly

    THE SKUNK - THE FIRST RIOT CONTROL DRONE - It fires pepper spray, rubber bullets, and dye-balls (for now) at protesters

    The Skunk is billed as the first riot-control drone: It fires pepper spray, rubber bullets and dye-balls at protesters; blinds them with strobes; and broadcasts audible warnings, all while keeping its all-seeing eye trained on the crowd and recording their actions.
     
    Skunk3DThe octocopter is a product of the South African company Desert Wolf. Armed with four paintball guns and ammunition hoppers, it can fire a variety of ammunition to subdue or disperse unruly crowds, or simply mark certain people in the group.
     
    The Skunk is designed to control crowds without endangering the lives of security staff.
     
    Bright strobe lights, on-board speakers and “blinding lasers,” the company boasts, enable operators to communicate with and warn the crowd.  But if they don’t respond, look out.

    DRONE SPOTTING - SURVIVAL GUIDE TO AERIAL PREDATORS

     
    A Drone Survival Guide with hints and tips on how to thwart the “robotic birds” - including drone identification chart - has been published on the internet.
     
    With over 30,000 drones expected to be flying over the US by 2030, the Guide urges readers to familiarize themselves with the craft.
     
    In light of the growing number of drones, the Guide advises a number of techniques to evade and scramble drones. The document is available online and has been translated into 17 different languages.

  • Dutch designer Ruben Pater penned the Drone Survival Guide, which shows the different shapes and sizes of flying robots used at war
  • The chart distinguishes between attack and surveillance drones as well as noting which countries use the different models


  • IDENTIFY THE SPY DRONES

    DRONES - THEY CAN WATCH YOU, THEY CAN KILL YOU, OR THEY CAN SNATCH YOU OFF THE GROUND

    MILITARY TECH NEWS

    The new clawed drone can snatch objects off the ground or grab something in mid-flight, just like an eagle catches prey. 

    Of course its targets are still relatively small. But with technology's rapid pace, it won't be long till it can grab just about anyone, regardless of weight.

    This is so reminiscent of superhero comics.  Now the kids have grown up and are playing their fantasies in top notch weapons labs.

    SWARMS OF ARMED DRONES SOON IN A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Is that a swarm of tiny armed drones chasing you?  Did you offend a highly placed government official?  Or did you fail to pay your parking tickets?

    Reality is quickly catching up with very recent science fiction.  While it took many decades to catch up with Jules Verne's fantasies, now last year's daring and imaginative science fiction surprises us from today's technology news. Or from the skies above you. 

    Death from a swarm of tiny drones: U.S. Air Force releases terrifying video of tiny flybots that can can hover, stalk and even kill targets
  • Air Vehicles Directorate at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, is already developing prototypes of tiny drones that can hover
  • The Micro Air Vehicles will work in swarms to provide complex surveillance of a battlefield
  • They can also be armed with incapacitating chemicals, combustible payloads or even explosives 'for precision targeting capability'


  • Hovering: Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are the future of the unmanned drones program, according to a new video from the Air Force. The Air Force has already developed a drone capable of hovering like a mothThe US Airforce has proudly released a video with their latest publicly known drone technology. I say "publicly known" because there are other even more amazing technologies still in an early and secret development stage.

    MAVs (Micro Air Vehicles) are tiny drones that can fly in swarms, hover above their targets, and even crawl on them and execute them.

    Among their non-lethal capabilities, they can do outdoor and indoor surveillance, and inject their human targets with incapacitating chemicals.  But they can also blow up the whole thing with explosives. 

    If you get hysterical at the sight of a spider crawling on your leg, or a bee buzzing near your nose, it's hard to imagine what even the thought of these swarming and crawling drones will do to your mind.

    Sweet dreams.
