Black Helicopters

[Expat]

Shot this today over "MY" house!

WTF!

OMG, the rotors have stopped, it's going to fall

This past April, I saw C-130s, F-15s, F-16s, an F-22, an F-18, and numerous "training aircraft" flying directly the hell over my frikken house! They were in town for Thunder over Louisville! (my nephew was flying one of the F-16s)

That crap in the twin cities is kinda weird, though!

I saw a Blackhawk today as well.

Don't remember if it was mentioned upthread, but many Blackhawk sightings at low altitude can be attributed to the National Guard is flying UH60s with ISP officers onboard searching for marijuana.

They have been stopping at JVY (Sellersburg) for fuel, and saw one today at HUF (Terre Haute) getting fuel as well.

There were exercises all over Indianapolis for three days back in 2008. No one cared then either.

That's because everyone knew there was going to be exercises all over Indy.

You aren't growing blue spruce trees on your property, are you?

There it is! I saw a Blackhawk! Right here on INGO!

NOPE!
Never touch that stuff, in the last 10 years.

Just growin' a little "white" pine, after all, I am a racist Republican!

What does growing spruce trees have to do with black helicopters?

They're darker and look like big evil drugs plants.

They must need to reconsider the eyesight requirements. My understanding is that the 'evil drug plants' are about the size of corn plants, not trees.

I have been told that the color of Blue Spruce tress show up very similar to the color of the dreaded "Mary Jane wacky weed plant" on the equipment used for spotting it from the air.

Ima gunna plant my plants in a christmas tree farm next year.

I've seen multiple black choppers in the Boomington area this week...

OMFG I'm sitting at the Terre Haute airport right now and a V22 Osprey just landed! I think it might be part of some secret government swat team task force collecting and executing US citizens!!!1!

...or maybe its just stopping for gas...

The Osprey comes around often. There is a National Guard base there....ya think maybe just the Officers' might have a meeting of some sorts?

How do I know you ask....because I work for the F.A.A.

No wonder i am getting so many fly bys this year. I planted 9 blue spruces this year. At less than $5 each from Rural King i could not resist.

I wonder how many millions of dollars we spend each year stopping people from growing their own painkillers,and Jim Beam replacement.

The surprise is quite reasonable. Although there is indeed a National Guard base there, they haven't had aircraft on inventory for several years, just simulators (which leads me to wonder if that translates into a facility for controlling drones).

Wikipedia says approximately $44B per year:

Drug war clock (presented by the primary source quoted in Wikipedia):

New York Times says $20-25B per year over the last decade:

Whichever numbers you go with, it is a lot of jack for accomplishing a whole lot of nothing other than making money in asset forfeiture and inventing new ways to circumvent the Constitution in the name of necessity. We may wish to recall that William Pitt once observed that necessity is the argument of tyrants and the creed of slaves.
