Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

July 31, 2012

From the comfort and security of an Air National Guard base in suburban Syracuse, Col. D. Scott Brenton murders people 7,000 miles away.

?I see mothers with children, I see fathers with children, I see fathers with mothers, I see kids playing soccer,? Brenton tells the New York Times. Drone operators see their intended targets ?wake up in the morning, do their work, go to sleep at night,? explains another high-tech murderer identified only as Dave.

When instructed to kill someone he has stalked from the air for a prolonged period, ?I feel no emotional attachment to the enemy,? Brenton insists. ?I have a duty, and I execute my duty.?

As the Times points out, the Pentagon ? driven by ?a near insatiable demand for drones? ? is training hundreds of operators to join the corps of more than 1,300 currently stationed at more than a dozen bases across the country.

The New York Times profile is part of a campaign by the state-aligned media to ?humanize? the state functionaries who murder by remote control ? and to normalize this mode of mass murder as drones become part of the domestic apparatus of surveillance, regimentation, and repression.

 Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
