EXCLUSIVE - SUPER SPY BLIMPS IN USE

http://www.freemarketnews.com/Feedback.asp?nid=11284

According to an FMNN viewer, the new-era, high-tech spy blimps coming to America are already in use in Iraq. In June 2006, FMNN reported that the US government had hired defense subcontractor Lockheed Martin to design and develop what amounted to an enormous “spy blimp” to be used for domestic intelligence purposes.

The report initially from Athens News, claimed that government agencies such as the NSA anticipated that as early as 2009 a huge super-spy blimp will be operational and monitoring US civilian movements, communications, etc. But now an FMNN viewer writes that such blimps are already in use in Iraq, though perhaps they are not as large as those intended to float above America.

The viewer sends FMNN this feedback: “The U.S. Army using these blimps over here in Iraq, I can say with confidence, since at least 2004 (I've been over here since 2003, DoD Technician, before the invasion). A smaller scale but, large, and used for the same exact purposes. They are floating around over Baghdad, constantly, 24/7. Had I not been such an avid observer of the stars. I probably would have never noticed them. Nevertheless, they are not that hard to view, even with the naked eye.”


While I'm not a fan of the Big Bother society I do not understand why politicians would be willing to send Americans to die in Iraq and not consider surveillance technology so that we know where the terrorists are coming and going. If Americans are willing to submit to being spied on here, why are we letting soldiers die over there?
