Anyway, please stay safe and don’t be afraid to defend yourself.

    To be fair, the military bases being buzzed drones thing has been going on for months now, long preceding the assassination of Brian Thompson. Like honestly maybe six months or more, I casually peruse the conspiracy subs, because occasionally they get something half-right. (Like the first I heard of COVID was freakouts about what was happening in China) But yeah, the dozens of drones buzzing military bases has been going on since long before Brian Thompson went down.

    It’s more that there’s an excuse to focus on it now to draw attention away from the fucked healthcare system. It troubles me a little bit that people can’t piece together that the media conveniently ignores all kinds of things until they need something else to focus on.


    Finally, you’d have more luck with a laptop and cyberwarfare.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–U.S._RQ-170_incident

    The Iranian government announced that the UAV was brought down by its cyberwarfare unit which commandeered the aircraft and safely landed it, after initial reports from Western news sources disputedly claimed that it had been “shot down”. The United States government initially denied the claims but later President Obama acknowledged that the downed aircraft was a US drone. Iran filed a complaint to the UN over the airspace violation. Obama asked Iran to return the drone. Iran is said to have produced drones based on the captured RQ-170 including the Shahed 171 Simorgh and Shahed Saegheh.
