Perhaps These Aren’t The Drones We’re Looking For

While social media and the information sphere buzz about the drones inundating the coastline approximate to New Jersey and New York, I can’t help but wonder if we are being blind to the real problem here.With credible reports coming out of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that radioactive material was lost in transit earlier this month from a cargo ship headed into New Jersey, the simple explanation that the NRC and/or US military is searching for that material becomes probable.Also credible, but further down the list, comes the truth that 80 nuclear warheads that existed in Ukraine during the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1980s are unaccounted for.According to John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace LLC and an expert in unmanned aerial systems—as reported in GatewayPundit.com:“Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan had dismantled the nuclear program with Russia. There were countless nuclear missiles that were disarmed and disposed of. Well, there were over 80, I believe, over 80 nuclear warheads that were in Ukraine that came up missing.“We don’t know where they are. Maybe somebody does, but nobody really knows where these are. I speak with some pretty high-level government officials on this stuff. It seems as though that is the case.“I spoke to a gentleman a few months ago who was trying to raise the alarm to the highest levels of our government, who had their ears closed, about this one particular nuclear warhead that he physically put his hands on.“He physically touched this warhead that was left over from Ukraine. And he knew that that thing was headed towards the United States. That is a very serious deal…”If, in fact, this is the case, that the drones are of the US government in origin and they are looking for lost nuclear materials—a warhead or otherwise—then we have a serious and actionable problem on our hands.If, in fact, one of the two aforementioned scenarios is the reason for all the drone activity, that makes Biden’s National Security Communications Advisor, John Kirby’s, statement all the more infuriating:This brings me to my point and a point that I believe has been and is being somewhat overlooked. Our federal government has become a behemoth apparatus where secrecy is the order of the day, and transparency is a rarity.Secrecy is supposed to be the rare exception for the most serious of issues and subjects, not the automatic default for anything and everything the government does. Using secrecy as a default sets the stage for the co-opting of government by the nefarious and opportunistically connected. It’s a warm petri dish for the bureaucratic Deep State to manipulate government to their will. And when the government bureaucracy, the Deep State government bureaucracy, is so entangled and controlled by K Street and the global elite—as it is today—the people kneel as slaves to the master, and that master has become the federal government.I talk about this to a great extent in my book Nullification: The Case for Decentralizing the Federal Government. The free Constitutional Republic of the United States was never—ever—supposed to have an all-controlling centralized government in Washington, DC. The fear of just such a centralized control was palpable as far back as the last days of Thomas Jefferson’s presidency when Jeffersonian Republicans went head-to-head with the federalists on the subject.It has been an issue our nation has been battling and debating ever since, but in this day and age—what with the many levels of greed present in the elected and activist classes; greed for money, greed for power, greed for being seen as correct—the dangers presented by a centralized federal government are ten-fold from those of Jefferson’s era.The secrecy surrounding the drone activity is just a by-product of the centralization of power at the federal level and a byproduct of a federal government that has gotten entirely too large. When coupled with the fact that this centralization of power is being controlled not by those duly elected to represent us in government, but by a bureaucracy that really answers to no one; that is never held accountable…well, Houston, we have a problem, a serious problem.That means we don’t live in a Constitutional Republic any longer. Since the US Constitution created our government as a Constitutional Republic, it presents a reality and a few questions.The reality is that a coup has taken place in the transformation of our government away from its rightful state as a Constitutional Republic.The questions: When did that happen, who is responsible, and when will they be held accountable?Then, when we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL AM930 & FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.Underground USA is reader-supported.
