EPA Using Drones to Spy on Cattle Ranchers in Nebraska and Iowa

Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency is using aerial drones to spy on
farmers in Nebraska and Iowa. The surveillance came under scrutiny last week
when Nebraska’s congressional delegation sent a joint letter to EPA
Administrator Lisa Jackson.

On Friday, EPA officialdom in “Region 7” responded to the letter.

“Courts, including the Supreme Court, have found similar types of flights to
be legal (for example to take aerial photographs of a chemical manufacturing
facility) and EPA would use such flights in appropriate instances to protect
people and the environment from violations of the Clean Water Act,” the agency
said in response to the letter.

“They are just way on the outer limits of any authority they’ve been
granted,” said Mike Johanns, a Republican senator from Nebraska.

In fact, the EPA has absolutely zero authority and is an unconstitutional
entity of an ever-expanding and rogue federal government. Article 1,
Section 8 of the Constitution does not authorize Congress to legislate in
the area of the environment. Under the Tenth Amendment, this authority is
granted to the states and their legislatures, not the federal government.

The EPA has not addressed the constitutional question, including its wanton
violation of probable cause under the Fourth Amendment. It merely states that it
has authority to surveil the private property of farmers and ranchers. It defends its encroaching behavior as “cost-efficient.”

Facism? How about monitoring for breaking the law? So what you people are
saying is we should just do away with all forms of policing? Let’s do away
with all the police, FBI, and just go back to the wild west. No one has to
follow any set of rules or is it just the EPA? After all, we don’t need clean
water or air, right? How long before our planet is uninhabitable by any living
creature except maybe a cockroach?

The south florida water district sprayed herbicide on thousands of acres of
Melaleuca trees. Our trailer park was smack dab in the middle. They never
notified us, no town meetings, nothing. One day we noticed all the green trees
around us had dropped their leaves and were dead. Now, that is fascism nanny
state, a crazy nanny doing whatever it feels like to poor people. But private
interests running amok are no better. Develop all the good hunting areas,
fence, post, and enforce with both private security and govt. police. They own
everything, don’t want to leave a darn thing for anyone who isn’t rich. We’re
approaching critical mass, believe me. The regular folks got nothing but
bills, laws, hard work and nothing to show for it but bad teeth and a rotted
gut.

Can I dump my porta-potty in your front yard? No, maybe not. But, how about
in the street? How could you object to that? It’s as much my street as yours.
Can my cattle use the waterways as a sewer? Of course they can. Nobody has the
right to stop me. Back in the 1950′s, Florida forced ranchers to fence their
cattle in, because there was mayhem on the roads. What right, what right I
say, does any government have telling us how to run our businesses, or where
we can run our cows? If your auto hits my cow, you owe me for that cow. If my
cows make the water undrinkable, then buy a darn filter. If you want a clean
river, then you pay me not to run my cattle in it. That’s how it works. Not
with some fascist government forcing me at the end of a gun not to use that
river any darn way I feel I need to in order to do my business.

I hope this is a joke comment… If not I am glad you probably don’t leave
the trailer park very often.

Illegal aliens and drug runners are pouring through our southern border and
the Federal government spends our tax dollars (40% borrowed from China) to spy
on US citizens? Defund the EPA now.

I believer there are laws that prohibit the use of lasers on occupied
aircraft. I’m not sure what the law is on unmanned vehicles. I wouldn’t do
it.

Also consider if you damage the optics and the aircraft crashes (some of
these drones are very, very large), do you want that on your conscience?

Better to fight these aircraft in the courts. It’ll take longer, but it’ll
be legal and safer.

They already have us under 24h duress with their towers which affect
gravity itself with their constant pull. What difference that they are keeping
an eye on us. They won dominion over us when they erected their network of
towers to exert dominion over the earth and skies

One of my customers ( which is a meat packing plant in mid Wisconsin ) just
got a $600,000.00
fine for excessive carbon emissions. If they can’t
control you one way they will get you another
way. The three most dangerous

Eloquently put. There is no rational answer to this argument. Case
closed. Shut down the government.

Do you think,it would be a conflict of interest,for the Environmental
Protection Agency to stop the aerosol sprayings aka
Chemtrails(Geoengineering).I suppose that is not on their immediate or far
range plans.The chemicals are very toxic and very dangerous with
Haarp.Humanity and the ongoing assaults on our human species.And they don’t
hide it their agenda 21 on going premeditative killing off the populations on
a global world wide scale.

If you are being watched by a drone, would it be a crime to shine a
powerful laser at the drone to damage the spying equipment?

You better have a pretty powerful laser…these drones fly at 10,000 feet
or so.

also the atmosphere causes laser light to refract so you would have to
have a way to scramble the laser before it was shot so that when it hit
the object the atmosphere would project it at full power, something I have
a feeling that you and all your cousin’s in Mr. Lahey’s trailer park don’t
have the technology for.

These are quite pesky…to day the least.I think it would take a very large
fly swatter to swat one of these over sized pesky critters.Total
surveillance.I wonder what high tech equipment is installed and
operational.close range optics for certain and camera with microphone digital
recording. Not so much a whimper or peep from our (s)elected,no-nothings.
Blind to the fourth ammendment of the Constitution and Bill Of Rites.

as all the toys the federal government uses against me are paid for by me,
I can only fault myself for providing funds sufficient for the government to
abrogate, violate, and vitiate my constitutional rights.

to that end, i can no longer, in good conscience, continue to remit funds
necessary to bring about my demise, the demise of my countrymen, and the
demise of my beloved country.

when the taxpaying public comes to the same conclusion, it will most
certainly result in cataclysmic changes to our experiment in self
governance.

EPA?! Fascism won’t come with a sword and a shield, it will come with a
recycling program.

It’s time to take back America. Let’s hope it’ll be at the ballot box.
