  • According to the US our neighbors can use these drones to spy on us anytime they want. There are no rules against the civillian use of unmanned drones. I gotta tell you, if i saw a drone flying over my house.....it better be ready to be fucked in the ass by a 12 gauge Ill tell you that much :)

  • I see now how we will not be able to hide when they come to throw us in the FEMA internment camps. lol

  • Its is called a violation not only of our constitutional rights but human rights .......It is coming down directly from the Globalist in Davos Switzerland .....My God it is from the Dept of Homeland Security The ones who say every American is a terrorist ......As Obama said in one of his speeches America is now the battle field.......They WILL eventually arm them . do not kid yourself .......One tip of advice when they come to confiscate your firearms ........just remember Charlton Heston words

  • Unbelievable. Come on America......wake up. This is not acceptable!

  • if they start spying on us will you be able to flip off the police department by sticking your hand up in the air

  • Ok a couple things, one i would guess the cow thing was a test run and they didn't want to test it on something too serious. I think as long as the drones cant look inside buildings it should be fine, i can understand the slippery slope, what we should use it for is to find dangerous people, only if a warrant is given. A warrant by a civilian judge.

  • This is the problem with America the citizens don't excersize there rights in history class they say well the constitution is so helpful and its been around for so long really I dont see what it's helping with when i just look at these headlines i just see the slippery slope arguement but it's only one way down we don't have a democracy anymore we have a in progress communism no democracy should be what this country is reduced to at this period of time we need to stand for our rights as Aericans

  • welcome to 1984.

  • If you aren't doing anything wrong why should you feel worried about this? I don't understand... Only people who do illegal things should oppose this, otherwise take a chill pill.

  • @thehoomizon22

    Terrible, and old, "argument".

  • @Ragitsu would u mind telling me why i'm wrong then?

  • @thehoomizon22 This is a horrible argument. That is because what is illegal is defined by those in power, and so they can say that anything you do is illegal, like peeing standing up. And what was it that person said about Nazi Germany? Oh yeah, it was about how they sat by while people were being arrested because they didn't do anything wrong, until those same people came for them and no one stood up for them.

  • @thehoomizon22 When I was 15 I used to have the same argument. Then I studied more history, social studies and generally got educated..

    What happens when the lawmakers decide that badmouthing the government is a crime punishable by decapitation or lifetime imprisonment? You just gave them full permission to spy on all of your conversations.

    Unlikely? Paranoid? There are countries like that in real life you know, most of the world is NOT governed by truth and justice.

  • This is a lot more entertaining with closed captions on... 0:56 "Indiana Jones did find these individuals." xD

  • LOL.. that isnt "spying" Dumbasses..

  • Yes but dont worry man, I bet the EU will get us before the americans do ;)

  • What the police department should do is disguise its officers as cows, and anyone who attempts to rob them may be arrested. "Moooooo have the right to remain silent."

  • Showing military drones doesnt help

  • i live in the uk, im on camera pretty much from the moment i step outside to the moment i go back inside and most likely in my home aswell

    in britain you cant walk 10 feet without seeing a fucking camera monitoring the street, i really wouldnt be surprised if the skies of london were suddenly full of drones and uavs keeping check on the unwitting public

    and to be honest i dont give 2 shits, its natural to me and to be honest is one hell of a deterant to commit any kind of crime!

  • @StevoE26 Sure, but what happens when the things that are considered a crime begins to encroach more and more on your freedoms? What happens when things you dont believe should be a crime, suddenly is because the "government" says so. I dont think the majority of the british population wanted these cameras but the government went ahead and implemented them anyway. "1984" is coming, and it is because of people like you who "dont give 2 shits". Shame on you.

  • @ucancallmetheseeker i dont give 2 shit because at the moment its not that bad, i think survailance is a good thing for detering and acting against crime, whats better, taking someones word that they were raped or having video proof, i use that example because my little sister was raped and they caught the guy thanks to a street cammera

    i may be bias because of this but i think that as long as its done in moderation that cameras etc are a good idea

  • @StevoE26 Yes it might be good to have sometimes, but I personally dont think that crime is the disease, I think it is rather a symptom of a sick society, and the cure is not surveillance. And yes as you say, "at the moment" its not so incredibly terrible, but this trend is indeed a slippery slope. Remember nazi germany for example.

  • @ucancallmetheseeker crime is going to happen no matter how well off or sick your society becomes, people want to do bad things, break rules, get adrenalin rushes, get sex without the work of courting first

    its a slippery slope yes but not one i feel is going anywhere fast, atleast in the uk

    though ofcourse if america passes this bill and allows military rule then the uk will shurely follow seen as we are americas little bitch.... fuck i hate being british sometimes...

  • @StevoE26 If you are referring to the NDAA it passed on new years eve. Im sure all the western countries will follow suit. NWO for the win.

  • @ucancallmetheseeker oh wonderfull, thanks for fucking over the world once again

    makes me think that britain has made a monster we are now powerless to stop

    kinda fucked up really

  • How can a slope slip both ways?????

  • @georgewalker1 Gravity doesn't apply to politics.

  • i agree with JR?

  • Wait... the cops have spy drones? o_O I need to get out more....

  • man Jayar is really the smartest guy on this show ;D

  • TYT is completely and entirely exaggerating this whole thing. How is this drone any different in its role than police helicopters?? For one thing they are actually cheaper and easier to maintain, probably use less fuel and don't risk the safety of pilots or flight officers.

  • @JCRF Do you have a source for any of these assumptions? The answer is no. These UAV's actually have operational costs said to be double that of manned aircraft (e.g. a 38 million dollar aircraft with 12 man crew) because of the significant logistical support and specialized operator and maintenance training required, according to Homeland Security. Not to mention the fact that a Drone has an accident rate 100 times higher than that of a manned aircraft, they're not exactly safe either.

  • @JCRF That is exactly the point. Using a helicopter to track somone down represents a significant investment, and thus are ony used for very important cases. With a few drones, continual survelance can be kept over an entire city relatively cheaply.

  • our government needs to know that 1984 wasn't supposed to be an instruction manual

  • Freedom is gone.

  • Cenk.

    I guess your "Commander In Chief" isn't looking too good, heh?

    But what they hey, 1 year from now, when you step in the voting booth, I suspect that you will (again) pull the lever for Obama. So what you are saying, is really a moot point.

  • @bobbytiger

    What??

    Are you trolling TYT videos? or are you just ignorant to the views TYT has on the current Administration?

    Cenk HATES!! Obama! they have done countless stories showing that he has destroyed the constitution, that he is in fact worse than Bush in terms of the legislation he passes.

    You seem to think Cenk and the rest of TYT are avid Obama supporters, but you couldn't be more wrong.

    So either watch more political based TYT reports or stop Trolling with ignorant BS.

  • @grant11102

    I am well aware that Cenk & Company have called out the "President" on numerous occasions, including several times when Obama was not liberal enough for their taste. However, my point was, that even in view of their criticism, that they will still cling to their "hope & change", and vote for the fool.

    While you are free to call my comment "trolling ignorant BS", I prefer to call it an impending fact.

  • Sounds like 1984 by George Orwell :DDD

  • Dark Angel?

  • Haha after 3 guys who stole some cows? I'd heard that Americans were heavily armed but I never realized that extended to Strela 3's or Stinger missiles, why would a drone but needed when units on the ground or a helicopter would suffice?

  • This is why all Democrats NEED to get out and vote for Ron Paul in the primaries.

    This is why all Democrats NEED to get out and vote for Ron Paul in the primaries.

    This is why all Democrats NEED to get out and vote for Ron Paul in the primaries.

    This is why all Democrats NEED to get out and vote for Ron Paul in the primaries.

    How many friggin times do I need to say this to get it through to people? Unleash the Kraken TYT viewers!

  • @maxell1221 "This is why all Democrats NEED to get out and vote for Ron Paul in the primaries."

    You are a spectacular idiot... if Ron Pauts in, the states have every to use their own drones.

  • Cow Tipping must be Halted in North Dakota!!

  • the point is... there will never be a drone for every American, but its important to create the illusion that there is... think of the East German Police who didn't have many files on people but created the fear that they could have one on every single person

  • It depends how they are using the drones. If they are flying it over the farms of ppl who are worried their cow will be stolen that's ok. It's guarding the potential victims, and the farmers presumably want the drone to be there.

    It's when they send the drones to follow people around, if they have it fly round someone's house and spy on them, that's when it will be a problem, cos they are harassing people, and the police have a record of harassing protesters or anyone else for political reasons

  • Drones were originally intended by officials to spy on suspected terrorists and their activities right? So it follows that drones that spy on citizens means officials think the activities of 'joe public' is that of a terrorist no?

  • You gotta fight for your right... to party. Also to not be constantly monitored by the government.

  • Really? ROLFS!!!

  • The drones are already armed... they can fire taser shotgun rounds from them.

  • the beauty about technology is that it's just a matter of time until it becomes available for consumers. In this case it's just a matter of time where people will be able to use drones to spy on the government too.

  • @craig2541 I get laid fairly regularly and I've never seen one either.

  • @kueefs Yeah, this time.

  • Cattle rustlers are some lowdown ornery varmints, but if local police departments are going to treat U.S. citizens like Islamic terrorists, then we might as well act like Islamic terrorists. If you see one of these fucking things flying over your neighborhood, shoot it down. If it crashes and kills someone, then they are a martyr for a noble cause.

  • @ vitalvampyr YES. i have an issue with heli's being used to surveil also. police have been fast moving toward military units for years. it's not getting better on the streets.

  • @fukkensully You misunderstand me.

    Of course you should have an issue with discrete surveillance of any kind, but this story isn't about that.  It was just mentioned that police CAN do that with a Predator (thus using a Predator for anything is apparently the start of a slippery slope). I pointed out that police CAN ALSO do that with helos. They don't though, and police have been using helos to track criminals like this Predator did for decades. That slope isn't so slippery.

  • I went on holiday to the states and on one of the highways was a sign that there where speed limit checks by airplanes and i was like WTF?

  • @ Vitavampyr once you give them ultimate power then where does it end? People should be they careful on what they wish for. This is disgusting to say the least and if anyone believe that they will not use them in a unconstitutional way your crazy. Wake the hell up America!!!

  • @llrain100 I think you missed my point entirely.

    There's no inherent reason to fear police using any kind of areal vehicle (manned or unmanned), that was my point.

    There is a problem with police in the US, but it's not that they have too many tools to track and subdue people. It's that they're too willing to use these in situations that they shouldn't and are too rarely held truly accountable for their misuse of their power.

  • I really think people overreact to the idea of video surveillance. Using a Predator drone to track thieves causes panic and cries of "POLICE STATE!", would a helicopter and a pair of binoculars inspire the same reaction?

    With a few helos you can maintain constant surveillance of someone's house, and you can mount weapons on one just as easily as on a Predator. You're not scared of the police in this story, you're scared of robots.

    The Terminator is just a movie, not a cautionary tale.

  • U incorporate on t.v little at a time what u want nrainwashed on the mindless and overtime its ok.the boiling metaphor

  • Now they trt to tell us that homosexuality is ok by incorporating homo trivia on who wants to be a millionaire.n the news just spoke about a medical research that homo marriage have a better n healthier marriage with two men tounging each other.really thats perversion beyond

  • I LOVE THE BOILING FROG METAPHOR!!!! I use it all the time. So fantastic.

  • I see ana got a nose job

  • If i see this shit near my crib im going to shoot it out of the sky thats a promis.

  • i dont see any problem with using a drone to find people stealing cows. In the uk we have police helicopters with state of the art cameras we use to spot people in these sorts of crimes, and no they arent going to arm the helicopters or drones.

  • I'll let out an ironic chuckle in the time between the missile shredding the roof of my home and its detonation...

  • The happiest thing about this video is the voice over in the ad before it, John Tesh. Tesh gives so much "wisdom for your life". We need wisdom for our government through the appropriate separation of powers and trust in the constitution.

  • It was midnight, and all the clocks were striking thirteen

  • Stealing Cows or Horses in Mexico is still a death penalty

  • @jasonliss3173 Mexico doesn't officially have the death penalty, but it has villager vigilantes and criminals routinely "disappear" over there.

  • whats going on with these subtitles?

  • One does not simply walk into the United States. Its black gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the great eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume.

  • @sunkeninblood BOOM! Powerful, bringing that fantasy goodness to the TYT masses!

  • I have seen one of these actually. Then again I live near a large military base so it could have been fucking anything really.

  • @395235 you can see what he is saying though, on the other side of the your mountain there is another slope

  • I don't usually rate videos unless they're either absolutely phenomenal or atrocious, but this one deserves a thumbs up. I totally agree that our civil liberties are slowly being stripped away and the people seem to unfortunately accept this and do nothing about it.

  • Sad. Another 9/11 and Iraq War perk

  • Anyone remember Adventures of Little Koala? Fun kids cartoon but one episode had a somewhat dark plot- the cops in the town were so bored because the town was peaceful, so they put on some masks and began robbing stores!

  • All thanks to 9/11.....

  • @JDaKingman 9/11 didn't take your liberties away. Congress legislated the patriot act and people are accepting it.

  • @JDaKingman 9/11 has got to be right up there with the Trojan Horse as one of the most tactically brilliant military moves in human history. Bin Laden tricked the United States into destroying itself.

  • Orwell's 1984 movie and the movie "Idiocracy" is what America is turning into.

  • Seriously, guys, only Ron Paul can fix this. Obama and the other neocons are the scum of the Earth.

  • i want peace but this is nowhere near a perfect world. i'm more in favor of guns for self-regulation than having a camera shoved up my ass in the name of "national security".

  • UAV*

  • @hummerdude123 its called a predator drone

  • Enemy USC online *me* hahaha bitch I got a SAM turret HAHAHH

  • ya know what we do with cattle rustlers round dese parts?

    i remember a story from afghanistan where they blew a guy up cause he was tall and they thought he was osama bin landen

    anyhow theyre gonna put drones on the borders and arm them because of the dangerous drug cartels thst they helped arm thats my guess

  • Nothing surprises me at this point.

  • Whenever Jayar speaks he says just what I'm thinking. <3

  • Wow, Blue Thunder, check it out lol.

  • I think using drones is just as terrorism as 9/11

    I mean, you can be walking on street and all of a sudden a bomb drop, explodes and kills you. You can easily die by "collateral damage", as A LOT of civilians have died.

  • So now they can lock us away forever if they think we are terrorists, they are trying to take away our freedom to share information over the internet, and now they are using Predator drones to spy on us? Don't these things have hellfire missiles? Jesus Christ.

  • My English teacher from high school said that George Orwell's world is something we avoided after we won WWII. I think he was wrong...

  • @camelCaseFTW It was true for about twenty years after WWII. Then the vets got co-opted by the military-industrial complex who basically invented the Vietnam War to sell helicopters and rifles. America should have listened to Eisenhower.

  • "What happened to Tristan?"

    "He was arrested for smoking weed. A freaking DRONE saw him!"

    Our future . . .

  • Military contractors own the police. They are spending more and more on big toys and less and less on actual police.

  • Another example of TYT ignorance. Farming is often a dangerous way to live because armed theft and home invasion are regular threats. When the fields are so large and open, a helicopter might be needed to stand a realistic chance to actually catch somebody. So they used an unmanned drone instead of a helicopter. What is the big deal? Drones require less waste to produce, are fuel efficient and save labor costs.

  • @Ant1Live What about old-school tracking like in the old Westerns? It would have to be cheaper and easier. Also, what about IR goggles and night vision?

  • 1984 was a documentary about our future then.

  • @razoreye001 'Brave New World' + 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' = 2011

  • @SkullOfYorick

    Orwell and Huxley were right. Anyone who thinks this is for security are sadly mistaken.

  • Pretty soon the line between military and police is increasingly getting blurry.

  • @craig2541

    Agreed.

    People with such closed minds will have to learn about the reality of the NWO the hard way it seems.Hope they enjoy the future economic crash,martial law,and the fun time they'll spend in a FEMA camp if they don't comply. 

  • Holy fuck, this is so close to totalitarianism I can almost touch it... Drones on cow robers? Omg, SO happy I am not American.... However the US has global influence ... Am I really safe?!

  • The police always claim that anyone they want to search or arrest is armed and dangerous. The ultimate foil for the Constitution is for the police to assert a claim for their own safety and the Judiciary gives them anything they ask for.

  • @craig2541 Irrelevant and most likely self-projection.

  • Comment removed

  • really? those morons really say the slope slides both ways? how stupid can they be?

  • Yeh go vote for Obama and see if you won't get that police state. RON PAUL 2012

  • Cenk was in law school? I did not know that!

  • @morgannicgregor You thought the guy just did Youtube videos all his life? It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

  • @SwampThizzle Oh STFU! I was just making a comment-- And not stupid by a long shot 127IQ. Just because I didn't know a fact about the man, you don't need to be a ahole...

  • @morgannicgregor You are an idiot. Ha ha.

  • @craig2541 Bring it on, my nigga. Pop your hymen first and step outside for some fresh air. What you wanna know? I'm calling you out right now, ya old crotchidy BITCH! AAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

  • Craig is a delusional man in a midlife crisis. Don't waste time on him. He has no intelligent thought to bring to the table as I've tried to debate him and allow him to present his case, and he simply does not have the capacity to. I think he's partly retarded, honestly. Angry and crotchidy old man. Fuck. Maybe he should pop his hymen...

  • @craig2541 "I am more educated than your sorry ass." BAs in gullibility don't count fucktard.

    Leave the Maastricht School of Managment out of this. A "few" mistakes? Are you fucking spaztarded? Almost everything Jones utters is a total fucking lie, not even a misunderstanding, a complete fabrication.

  • I will keep continuing to say this, welcome to the New World Order. We have been warned about this for too long and it's only NOW that people are realizing what is going on. Sad day in America. For years I have been hoping the "conspiracy thorists" were nothing but a bunch of wack jobs that needed their heads examined, but they were trying to tell us and we just brushed them off. Now it might be too late to stop it all. God help us all.

  • Why is my government trying to protect us from ourselves.

  • buy some SAM missiles and shoot the damn things down..the defense dept has so much money they have to give it to every institution they can find to justify getting more money..it's an old story

  • Shoot down the fucking drones.

  • @craig2541 What I just said you illiterate fuck: "Trust your *independent* sources, not the fucking wackjobs who cite their own websites."

    "The NWO idea is real" Nope. "what Jones reports is factual" Even about fluoride turning people gay? What about Obama being born in Kenya? What about Bush being a member of a Satanic cult that practices human sacrifice? What about global warming being a hoax? What Osama being kept "on ice" for ten years and used to surge Obama's approval rating?

  • "Even about fluoride turning people gay?"

    Do your research,Fluoride in our drinking water affects our pineal gland.It also makes people more complacent,which explains why people still say nothing even when confronted with damning evidence

    Also who says I just listen to Jones?Actually I've listened to a wide variety of different sources.Many who have even been imprisoned under false pretenses or had an 'acident' that took them out of this world with very suspicious circumstances.

  • WOW..Cenk is waking up...maybe he should realize that Alex Jones has been screaming about this for years...time to team up!!!

  • Alright, America, it's time to go completely "Call of Duty" on the Police.

    Grab a Stinger, AT4, or RPG-7 and shoot that shit the hell down on sight! 100+ XP....

  • They see you when you're sleeping

    They know when you're awake

    They know if you've been bad or good

    So be good . . . . . OR FUCKING ELSE!

  • whats the problem? it worked... they caught the guys. livestock is expensive and theft is a crime.....

  • crime rates are half of what they were in the 90s but we need drones all of a sudden?

  • @robman8855 And crime rates dropped sharply in the 90s because of Roe V. Wade. A generation of criminal bastards was aborted. The government should pay for abortions. It's a win-win for society and cheaper than welfare and prisons.

  • @SwampThizzle my thoughts exactly

  • I am a die hard republican and usually despise every word that comes out of TYT's mouths, but I am in full agreeance with them on this one. We have to cut the govt back. No matter if its national or city, the govt needs to be stopped when it comes to garbage like this. There is a time and a place, but there needs to be a very, very, very good reason for it.

  • Lol @ people making fun of people who talk about NWO. You know who was the person of authority to talk about it? George H.W. Bush; then his son. It's not like people are pulling the NWO talk out of thin air. It was talked about by a former president of the United States. He said it was starting and look at where we're at today... 85% of the way there.

  • Oh god...the NWOers have arrived to bring down the conversation.

    Let's not talk about actual facts on infringements on rights! Let's talk about transdimensional Sumerian lizard gods in league with Zionist-Mason-Nazis trying to poison the water supply with fluoride to turn us all into cheese-eating homosexuals!

    Fuck off, I'm sick of you pricks. The trans-political movement for freedom and social liberty doesn't need paranoia and lies. We need to call on bullshit, not make it up.

  • Cows are expensive

  • Can you shoot them down?

  • OF Cooouurse

    

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! Land of the free? Yeah, right...

  • Would it be illegal to shoot down an illegal spy drone that was illegally spying on me? Somehow, I think society would forgive...

  • @SirDanOfHell I doubt you'd be able to see it. They fly thousands of feet in the air.

  • My question is what can we do?

  • Cenk and Ana, you've got a space in my loft anytime you need it when the neo-gestapo come around.

  • What d'ya think the DAA act and SOPA are for? I hate to say it, but the current state of the USA reminds me of Weimar Gemany, but worse. Remember that Weimar Germany was one of the most liberal, democratic states that there has ever been. I love that, I will stand up for that, but you guys in the USA may just be screwed. You've taken too long to wake up. What do you think the state of dissent will be after SOPA and DAA? If I were Cenk I'd expect to be thrown outta a helicopter real soon now.

  • I thought police across the country were cutting back hours, ignoring calls, and laying off officers. How the hell are they buying these drones.

  • Funny how Cenk is so deep in for big government but then disagrees with big brother and more power to the government. I guess they had a word for that in 1984 ... doublethink, no?

  • @Avelqual You can be for some elements of big Gov. and not others. To say im for big goverment is to simple. I think the word is thinking.

  • Nineteen

    Eighty

    Four

  • 27 years after 1984:

    War is Peace

    Freedom is Slavery

    Ignorance is Strength

  • All of a sudden Alex Jones doesn't sound as crazy anymore.

  • @Rockownz5150 What about fluoride being used to increase the number of homosexuals? What about his claims of helicopter gunships randomly attacking US restaurants for fun? What about the claims of Bush being a member of a Satanic cult that sacrifices virgins? What about Bin Laden being "on ice" fo ten years and then being brought out in order to upturn Obama's slump in the polls? What about Obama being a secret Kenyan Muslim? What about seat belt laws being the core of police state legislation?

  • @niriop

    And don't paint all of us 'truthers' with the same brush please.Many of us still have varying degree's of what we believe.Even in the movement lies are sometimes mixed with truth.

  • @richiefranklin76 Erm...I'm going with wacko. That okay?

  • @Rockownz5150 i always hope alex jones would be wrong, pretty sad that he isn't...this is a sad time

  • @Rockownz5150 That's what I said with the passage of the NDAA.

  • @Rockownz5150 no. i saw his eyes he's a damn crazy person. lol

  • Like NASA's Kepler Telescope that found that "earth like" planet 600 fucking light years away can't look into your house?

  • @Solarfactor actually I don't like the idea of drones. But when they make a claim of spying they need to back it up with actual spying. Instead they show it being a useful tool for fighting crime, and then start speculating about "what ifs" and "slippery slopes" bad journalism IMO

  • @kessa1111

    what makes you think Cenk, Ana are journalists? Actually, they're far-left smear merchants who constantly sip their own Kool Aid

  • I get no problem that they use drome... Only if they get a court mandate, because nobody should expect a drone hidden in clear sight, use to search you. Some sort of extension of the fourth amendment.

  • Lol 1:20 love that laugh.

  • @18wheeler76 Ah, I didn't really think about the stealthiness compared to a helicopter.

  • Haha wtf... they're bitching about OWS costing money and they're buying robot spy planes? How much does that little bit of technology cost a farm town to own and operate?

  • Wasn't there a report about police no longer responding to misdemeanours due to high gas prices?

  • Not to mention, America has already have citizen spies, all thanks to George W. Bush.
