VIDEO: US Draws Up Plans For NUCLEAR Drones
Submitted by emalvini on Tue, 04/03/2012 - 11:32The next generation of surveillance drones will be nuclear powered. Instead of flying for hours, the new drones will be able to stay in the air for months. The development represents a bonanza for the national security state and its military-industrial complex ministries like the Department of Homeland Security.
More from the Guardian.co.uk:
The blueprints for the new drones, which have been developed by Sandia National Laboratories – the US government’s principal nuclear research and development agency – and defense contractor Northrop Grumman, were designed to increase flying time “from days to months” while making more power available for operating equipment, according to a project summary published by Sandia.
Using nuclear power would enable the Reaper [a Northrop Grumman drone] not only to remain airborne for far longer, but to carry more missiles or surveillance equipment, and to dispense with the need for ground crews based in remote and dangerous areas.
In February, the project was fast-tracked and the FAA gave the go-ahead to allow the unmanned surveillance aircraft to fly in U.S. air space.

and where is the first place they will field test this??
you guessed it...Iran
and then when it crashes there, we will complain "aw c'mon give us our nuke back...you're not allowed to have that!"
"Iran has weapons of Mass

Dude you sound just like my dad, only he's serious. Everytime foxnews does their "The big bad scar Iranians are coming!" thing, my dad calls me in a panic.
Television. We forget it has
Television. We forget it has only been around for 60-70 years. Some of us have only been subjected to it for 20-30, but others are 60-something and have been watching it all their life. They believe we landed on the moon based on the utter fakery that was shown on TV. They believe everything the TV tells them, and practically nothing else. It's amazing. We would see a dramatic advancement in our society if people would just shut those damn things off and throw them out the window.

Great!
That way when the Nuclear powered drones crash..."crash" on farms and water sheds on "accident" we wont be able to use those resources anymore.

Alyona Minkovski is so freaking hot! I hate it when the camera man cuts away from her to show other things. It makes me want to hurt him.
The only weakness about the Alyona show is she wears too much clothes.

I'm from southwestern Michigan and am looking to move some Ron Paul slim jims (issue cards) to northwest Indiana, especially the South Bend area. I'm willing to deliver about seventy-five dollars worth of them for just twenty-five bucks, all of which will be going to fund more campaigning. The campaign saves the shipping and production costs which do nothing to help the campaign, you save a lot of money period, and I can move left over inventory that would otherwise go to waste and help fund my Uncle and I for delegate campaigning in Michigan. Win-win-win= win for all.
Let me know if you're interested, thanks!
So unmanned drones with nuclear strike capability....
OK, I think that officially certifies the Department of Homeland Security as having gone criminally insane.
Flying drones with nukes, ready to drop a bomb on an American city, or Mid Eastern desert??
ARE YOU LISTENING TO THIS AMERICA??

Koch, SEARS Tower executives, this affects all of you too and is downright suicidal lunacy!!!
The economy can't even pay for these insane Isral Military Industrial Complex drones, let alone the bombs, floaters & software to run them.
"ARE YOU LISTENING TO THIS

Hahaha...of course they're not listening to it. "Dancing with the stars" is on.
so who the f*** will pay for
so who the f*** will pay for those, since the $ is going down ? Except McDonalds and the $, USA doesn't have nothing to keep the military-industrial complex going.
Whadda ya mean
who will pay for all this new stuff?
They'll simply print all the money they need!
These guys are real smart, don't cha know!
And far as what'll they do when one of these birds crashes....well, I suppose they could get some good advice from the Fukushima experts!

With the ok to use 30.000 drones over America I'm left wondering...
How long will it take for humanity to realize nuclear is the no.1 vehicle for population reduction?!

This has gotta be an april fool's joke.

Now it's about the Constitution and the fight to defend it.
When
RP visits universities, he can command 3-5.2K crowds. When a state legislature tried to limit some trade union perks in government offices, 180,000 came out to protest.
Just imagine how many millions of ordinary Americans are milking USA via military-industrial complex? Add to that affirmative-action recipients (who are 75% of population if you count your mothers and sisters.)
One thing is clear - it is much easier to blame an external abstract scapegoat, like Zionists or 5-6 banks. Scapegoats allow us to keep our pride and fire burning instead of looking in the mirror (like responsibility of all those soldiers and policemen who joined the government tyranny and now still want to be taken care forever after the retirement.)
Good statements The most
Good statements
The most important aspect of a free society is personal responsibility and responsibility to others. When we give this over to government and expect things to be taken care of we get the mess we're in now.
Be charitable and help your neighbors. Show that you're not dependent on some pinheaded thieving bureaucrats in Washington to make a society function
Drone on? Drone off? On again? Stay off... Waste not; want not!
Before funding more folly, let us investigate whether military contraptions work or not!

Bombers or a slow missile calling them a drone.. is a word con
I heard a guy sum it up.
If you don't get that the USA needs Ron Paul more than ever, think about the word games the elite play on the masses.
Drone,
1.like its not a bomber?
2.or a slow missile
3.if your a little kid in Afghanistan or Pakistan, I bet you sleep better knowing that at any time some kid in Nevada or somewhere, may call you collateral damage at any minute.
"War on" drugs,
1. don't you mean war on poor people that can't get a lawyer.
2. or so you can keep the large militarized police state going.
What a con...

Didn't they try some sort of nuclear powered aircraft back in the sixties and decide it wasn't feasible and was too dangerous if it crashed?
What?
A mini nuclear reactor in a drone? They picked a great name, Reaper, is that short for Grimm Reaper?

Nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain."
The rest of us can duck and cover.
Oh excellent, so when they
Oh excellent, so when they crash and burn they will go up in a mini mushroom cloud. I am sure the middle east will enjoy more radioactive contamination on top of what they have already experienced from our depleted uranium rounds. No wonder they hate us so much. I'd hate another country if their technology caused my baby to be born without say... eyeballs!
Oh yeah, and now they can use drones over the US, look forward to one of these landing in my backyard!
Sickening, and my tax dollars through the unconstitutional income tax and inflation tax are paying for all this. May this country cave in on itself.

Well consider the likely
Well consider the likely exorbitant costs of these things, you'd think the "terrorists" (iraqi, afghani, palestinian patriots) would be more than happy to suck some cash out of the American war establishment's coffers by taking these things down, perhaps even finding ways to drop them without them going kaboom so that they can use them against US troops in the middle east. We're asking for it with every militant action we take against others. It's like our government is addicted to blowback.
