All of America: agrees that killing a CEO is morally acceptable
News: "uh. uhmm.. UHHH there's a drone over there, look at that. *jiggles keys in direction of a kid flying an Amazon drone* yeah doesn't that make you mad?"
And for reference yeah drones are an issue I guess. There's one that flies over my school from (I assume) one of the neighbors houses. It's creepy, but I'm far more concerned with the houses with confederate flags I see on my way home.
I think you might enjoy how Bernie reacts to being asked about the New Jersey drones:

(Time stamped, it was the second to last question)
"Yeah, I don't know anything about it. I guess I'm concerned?"
Doesn't sound too interested to me.
Exactly. Good ol Bernie.
Wait, which bit is the cash grab? You didn't describe one in your post
The news media and social media posters are peddling hysteria to create ad revenue.
Sure, a "cash grab" is why they closed the airspace over Wright Patterson AFB in Ohio today, and why members of the DoD, senators, and governors are publicly calling for more federal response.
What really seems to be going on is that there are a bunch of orb-like UFOs exploring our sensitive areas, and some secret military drones are chasing them all over the place. The gov't is in straight bullshit mode saying there's nothing going on, while citizens all over the place are recording videos of both orbs and drones.

I think you will find that traditionally they do anal probes for this.
Once you talk about orbs, you sound crazy because there is no proof these are orbs.
There are a whole bunch of videos showing out of focus points of light that idiots call orbs. And there are lots of videos of planes flying head on towards the camera with landing lights that idiots also call orbs.
You really gotta be careful how you talk about this stuff, else you sound and look like a fool.
I’m one of those people who thinks the phenomenon is real. But I also feel the majority of the recordings made are nonsense misidentifications.
Just call them UAP.

This is happening over US bases in Germany and the UK too. Sure there is a heap of noise over the NJ sightings but to dismiss the signal entirely is a mistake.
Mouth breather shit right here.
Who gives a fuck what you think, asshole? You can eat some shit with your mouth.
You seem both nice and very bright.
Really drives home my point, here.
Hey. Is this a joke comment or genuine?
Judging by later messages, this is a True Believer. Which when translated to English is "idiot".
why would they have bright LEDs? you're supposed to be looking up at them.
Media is desperate for a distraction from people collectively being at least not upset about the CEO getting killed. If they don't jingle some keys in front of our faces asap, they risk us finally putting aside petty differences to band together over the actual class struggles that we all face together. Together we stand, divided we fall.
This has been going on for a month or so. The sightings didn’t start when the CEO was shot.
And the coverage isn’t that heavy. Many of the rabid ufo people think it’s covered too little.
Well, not to be a conspiracy theorist, but I didn’t start seeing it all over—and didn’t even hear about it properly—until this week/last week. And NJ is very close to where I am.
Jersey may very well be blown out of proportion. Two reddit videos were military aircraft. One that made the front page was a C-17 landing (video had no audio). Another was dash cam footage of two C-130Js flying low in formation with their visible formation lights on.
Reminds me of when the power went out in NYC or LA (I forget) and people thought it was an alien invasion because most of them were seeing the stars better than they had been able to their whole lives.
But there are real issues with drones right now. Wright Patterson AFB operations were shut down for a while due to drone activity. Langley has been dealing with multiple cases of multiple drones over the summer. And a Chinese national was flying a drone around Vandenberg SFB California and was trying to hop the first flight back to China when they were detained.
Reminds me of when the power went out in NYC or LA (I forget) and people thought it was an alien invasion because most of them were seeing the stars better than at any point in their lives.
Lol, reminds me of when electricity went out in my neighborhood for an hour and I googled it and didn't find any news about it and thought: must be government cover up of secret government operations
Then I posted about it on reddit and a redditor pointed out that this is normal and small incidents like a power outage in a localized area for hour wouldn't be newsworthy, then I realized I was being silly, probably too much conspiracy-minded lol
A "cash grab"? Who's paying, and for what?
Media and TikTok profit off of ad revenue. The more eyes on the content, the higher the ad revenue.
So, all the governors and congress people are getting kickbacks from the tiktokers?
I know many of them, like Tim Burchett, are just ranting for their crazy base and see this as an opportunity to talk shit about the Biden admin. But you said it’s all about getting paid by covering the hysteria.
No. I'm saying there is nothing going on and the media is covering something that isn't even happening and cashing in on it.
There is absolutely nothing going on, huh?
That’s a strong take. Wow. I don’t agree with that. I agree there is at least 50% hysteria going on, but 100%? I don’t think so.
My guess is that it's local drone pilots messing around, hysteria, and opportunists.
