Ebola Lies and Damn Lies!

Washington, DC—The Obama Administration has become shamelessly notorious as the most secret in American history.

When Obama’s minions are not hiding information they are lying to the public about absolutely everything.  Whether it’s Obamacare, Running guns to Mexican murderers, IRS political revenge, Immigration enforcement obstruction or the Benghazi cover-up just to name a few, all we get are lies.

Generally every government has integrity issues however The Obama Administration has a perfect record of zero credibility.  The six primary American America media organizations controlling 85% of news content have actually become the official Obama propaganda machine.

Ebola is not new; it’s been around for decades with occasional epidemics that then seem to subside.  Ebola is a prolific killer for sure claiming 70% of those infected. 

We need to recognize that the people of West Africa are primitive, live in filthy conditions and routinely consume unsanitary water.  As a result hey have all kinds of acquired immunity Americans don’t have. 

Americans live in much cleaner conditions and are far more susceptible to foreign diseases as a result.  The unanswered question is how would Americans fair in an Ebola epidemic?   We may be finding out as the Obama Administration errors only on the side of political correctness.  

Now with three confirmed cases, we have Ebola inside our nation.  Initially the official line was that this disease could not be casually spread.   They compared Ebola transmission similar to that of AIDS.  This is apparently a view through rose colored glass. 

However that obvious lie has been laid bare, after an African Ebola victim easily infected two of our nurses.  

I’m not a physician but I was a Medical Corpsman during my mandatory military service.  Part of that involved specific training in controlling and treating communicable diseases. 

There was a time when government health officials would only error on the side of public safety.  Not anymore!

Today we know that someone that should have never been allowed to enter the United States has subsequently infected two medical professionals.

That eviscerates our government’s rosy assertions to the American people.  If there is a defense, it’s in the argument of preventing panic.  The panic here would simply result in demands on government.

However the most serious is our government’s allowing West African people to enter our borders at the worst possible time.  This appears to me on its face, to be a treasonous attack designed to weaken this nation.

We stamped out Smallpox, Tuberculosis and many other deadly diseases in America.  Now with no border security we are all at real risk once again!  

Political correctness has replaced commonsense in dealing with this deadly emergency.  Obama is gambling with our very lives as a Lame Duck politician that has nothing to lose!

We beat diseases through traditional screening, treatment, immunizations and quarantine.  Political correctness has absolutely no place in medical decisions. 

Once health professionals can get a handle on Ebola in Africa and learn enough about it easing travel restrictions and quarantines would be reasonable. 

Why are we are forcing or military members and  flight crews to expose themselves to Africa's deadly communicable diseases? 

Why are we granting over 100 visas a day to West African citizens, putting them on our planes to the USA?  You can’t justify that really flawed public policy. 

If we are to survive we must run the Obama Administration and all of their disciples out of our government by any means necessary.  We have little choice now. 

Excessive FAA Drone Regulation Will Lead to Near Total Civil Disobedience

Los Angeles, CA—There are many thousands of camera-armed drones out on the American marketplace.  Today they far exceed the numbers of conventional helicopters.

Unlike conventional aircraft the little drones have a perfect safety record.  So far no reported deaths or serious injuries have occurred.  Injuries so far have my minor requiring little more than Band-Aids.  When accidents happen it’s because the drone’s owner put his fingers to close to the propellers.

Now the Obama Administration's FAA wants to create civilian drone regulation and greatly expand their manpower, budget and agency size.   It’s really just an unjustified power grab.

The little drones are not recognizable on radar screens.  Putting ID numbers on them is silly because even with the best binoculars nobody could read them anyway. 

They are simply not a threat to public safety or our airspace. 

The laws covering criminal endangerment, assault, stalking and privacy invasion are more than adequate to deal with that kind of behavior by drone operators.

The real issues are related to flying them in urban areas.  The reality is that's exactly where the drone operators are located. 

Realistically safety concerns are relative to the size of these drones.  The consumer type drones range from a few ounces to a few pounds.

The ones likely to be used by filmmakers, Drone journalists and surveyors must be larger to accommodate more sophisticated equipment.  More skill is needed to fly these very expensive machines.

I don’t care how any of us feel about the drones they are here to stay.  Their good use far outweighs the contrived and unrealized fear of the drone detractors. 

Many officials have yet to learn that the First Amendment like any typewriter, paintbrush or other camera protects the camera drones.

The issue of flying over crowds needs some attention.  Simply said, you can photograph a bunch of protestors better from an angle rather than directly overhead.  Flying near rather than directly over their heads is both safer and will provide better images.

In urban areas or for that matter anywhere I find that flying early in the morning provides better lighting and far fewer people are out on the streets. 

Night flight provides much better view of the drones for the operators.  I find that flying them from large empty parking lots with ample lighting is the perfect place to pilot the drones for night flight.

If the FAA over-regulates these things policing them would be incredibly expensive and difficult.  Frankly the FAA would simply be ignored.

Learning how to fly these things inconspicuously is not difficult.  You simply find a place to deploy and land your drone.  You bring your drone into the target area, get your video and get out.  If you do this right you could do it completely unnoticed. 

If you’re doing it right, by the time authorities could be informed about your scofflaw drone it would already have completed its mission!

Should there be over-regulation, count on me being a drone scofflaw.

You also need to know that unless you lie to officials or confess it may be nearly impossible to prove who was operating the drone.  If you become a target of an investigation connected to drone use say nothing!  Tell them four simple words, “I want a lawyer.”

In most cases they can’t even use a YouTube video against you in court without violating hearsay evidence rules.

If the Obama's FAA thinks they can police every youngster with little drones they really need to stop smoking crack. 

This Christmas there will be many thousands of these things given to good boys and girls.  The FAA needs to leave them alone.

A closer Look at my Phantom 2 Camera Drone and Accessories!

Phoenix, AZ—I number of my friends and visitors want to know more about my Phantom 2 camera drone so I have provided a close-up view.

The Go Pro camera with gimbal is a better choice then the built in camera on the Phantom 2 Vision plus for better images.

Check out my new retractable landing gear that’s never in my video shots anymore.

Camera Drones are Voraciously Addictive!

Los Angeles, CA—If my blog seems to have so much content related to camera drones it’s because I hopelessly hooked!

I find myself adding sites to my bucket list every day.  Most of them are in far away places. 

Here are two of my latest shoots.  Please enjoy!

Drones, Research, development, the Dysfunctional FAA and Over-Zealous Politicians

Los Angeles, CA—An undetermined but huge numbers of little camera drones are in civilian hands all over the world.  They are safe, somewhat simple to operate and the cameras are capturing stunning images.

We can easily guess that the number of multi-rotor drones in the USA currently far exceeds that of conventional helicopters. 

Drones for the most part are ignored by the Federal Aviation Administration unless they are used to earn money or are flown inside or too close to airports without control tower permission.   The FAA has advised the drone owners to fly below 400 feet in order to avoid conventional aircraft.

Currently there are adequate laws in every state that cover drones or their potential involvement in endangerment, assault, stalking and privacy invasion.

The FAA has missed their deadlines and has all but abdicated its responsibility to integrate these devices with other air traffic.

One federal judge has already slapped the FAA and their ban on commercial use has been voided.  That matter is currently under appeal.

Other than constant obstruction the FAA has done nothing to encourage the collision avoidance system and other testing by drone manufacturers. 

The voracious drone market competition shows promise of new safety hardware and software development.   That certainly shows the potential of real safety benefits all aircraft passengers and those on the ground.  

Because of the FAA testing is being done everywhere but the USA!  We as a nation are falling behind.  

Any safety concerns by the FAA are without foundation.  There’s never been a remarkable accident!  No lives lost.  Any injuries related to the drones are a few cut fingers of the drone owners because of ill-advised handling.

Public safety would be greatly enhanced if the little drones were used instead of fixed wing planes of helicopters.

The drones are battery powered and environmentally friendly.  The noise from the drones is so much less than regular aircraft. 

Most importantly drones are so much cheaper to operate.   The savings to taxpayers would be huge if government agencies embraced these things. 

For example automobile accident investigations and criminal investigations on our roads rely on time consuming diagramming by cops.  If cops used a camera drone they’d have picture perfect and to scale evidence.  This can be done quickly eliminating prolonged traffic tie-ups. 

Insurance companies could quickly survey damaged property after floods, storms and fires.

Farmers, cattle ranches and rescue crews will all significantly benefit from using drones. 

The FAA is by nature another power and money hungry bureaucracy beast.  The FAA must realize that they can’t keep up with millions of 12 year-old boys flying drones above the roofs of their homes. 

The FAA needs to back off and stick to their original mission of dealing with manned aircraft.  I don’t see much argument over measured and reasonable regulation of drones weighing more than 55 pounds.   

Politicians likewise need to let the existing laws work instead of obstructing business and public safety with unfounded “Chicken Little” predictions of doom and death.   

The operators of the little camera drones for the most part police themselves.  They understandably don’t want to endanger their expensive drones, cameras, the public or themselves. 

For the few drone operators that might choose to use drones criminally the local police have sufficient manpower and resources for enforcement.   

Please Enjoy Yet Another Drone Video

Los Angeles, CA—On a quiet Sunday Morning my little drone took a ride above Westwood area of Los Angeles.  The video shows the Southern portion of the UCLA campus, Wilshire Blvd and beyond.  On the West you can see the Veteran’s Cemetery, The VA Hospital and the 405 Freeway.   

Unfortunately because of the terrific music attached this cannot be seen in Europe. 

Murder Conviction and Sentence of Jodi Arias May Be History

Phoenix, AZ—A major time-bomb of sorts is waiting to go off in the courtroom of Judge Sherry Stephens.  This is in the form of a motion that would remove the death penalty from consideration due to serious misconduct.  The shenanigans and misconduct of cops and prosecutors in this case has grown to fill a massive book. 

Judge Stephens lost all control of the the Jodi Arias case from day one.  Stephens has simply turned a blind eye to the misconduct that allowed this murder trial to become one of the more infamous judicial circuses since the Salem Witch Trials.

The latest stunt revealed today was that Mesa police detective Estaban Flores unlawfully shared confidential and court sealed information with his wife.  She in turn allegedly uploaded outrageous videos containing some of the information onto YouTube in efforts to incite public opinion against Arias.

Ultimately, if this is true, Estaban’s police career and peace officer certification is history.  He and his wife probably will now be facing criminal charges brought by an appointed special prosecutor. 

As for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and Maricopa County Attorney’s Office,  it seems that they have from the beginning chronically and deliberately obstructed Arias’ right to a fair trial. 

Everything from withholding evidence, witness tampering, and obstructed communication with the Arias defense team has taken place.  Of course who could forget the grandstanding circus Ringmaster, prosecutor Juan Martinez signing autographs for his infatuated female court watching fans.

That means there is so much more at stake here than lifting the Death Penalty but outright dismissal is now in plain sight.

No small issue is that Arias has been transformed by a runaway prosecution effort into a reviled pariah.  Current jury selection happenings have made it abundantly clear that the jury pool is hopelessly tainted.

There is no chance that the damage could ever be undone.  There is only one solution now That is setting Arias free and that’s exactly what the law requires.

As for the angry mob of mindless court watchers that have made Arias the object of their intense hate?   They can now transfer their wrath to the brain dead officials that let this happen through their redundant, persistent and chronic misconduct.
