The rapidly growing use of Drones by all sides in the Ukraine conflict brings with it a need to protect the wounded and incapacitated from unnecessary vicarious injury by zealous Drone operators satisfying the urge to humiliate weak and defenceless opponents

November 12 2013: How the USA used Sir Jeremy Heywood and Sir John Scarlett to bring an EU drone strike capability on anyone in the UK

US influence in Europe and the UK aims to construct a Federal model as in the US and USSR. In this model, Parliament will become a weakened part of the constitution required only to pay lip service to democratic principles whilst permitting unelected bureaucrats to create and implement policies.

The UK plays an active role in European drone construction without the full knowledge of the general population. Policies are imposed by the Cabinet Secretary, on the basis that they contribute to the EU mission.

There is a growing chorus in the political press that the Civil Service, of which the Cabinet Office is the top and the Cabinet Secretary shares the lead Civil Service role, has become politicized and its neutrality compromised.

The notion of the “politicization” of the Civil Service remains vague not having reference to any particular political party. The Civil Service has not yet favoured the political aims of one or other Party at Westminster.

It has, however, confirmed the political aims of the EU Commission in Brussels and the implementation of its political European projects in the UK, and in that sense, the Civil Service has both lost its neutrality.

It has become politicized by the actions of the Cabinet Secretary, which is a significant point in constitutional terms because the checks and balances of the unwritten UK constitution are now unbalanced mirroring the European model which is being imposed in an underhand and secretive way.

The scenario is set for EU-controlled drone warfare. In September 2002 the infamous Dodgy Dossier was released by the UK Government which became the justification for the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Sir Jeremy Heywood was Principal Private Secretary to Tony Blair appointed in 1999. The dossier was flawed and made false allegations about the existence of WMD and nuclear programs in Iraq.

Sir John Scarlett was chair of JIC, the Joint Intelligence Committee and he wrote to Tony Blair’s foreign affairs adviser David Manning about, “the benefit of obscuring the fact that in terms of WMD Iraq is not that exceptional”.

In other words, the dossier was misleading about Iraq’s capabilities. Sir Richard Dearlove, as ‘C’ Head of MI6 said he was misquoted in the ‘Downing Street Memo’ of a meeting about Iraq on 23 July 2002 saying it was, ” a misquotation of what I said, and what I said is not in the public record.”

Sir Jeremy Heywood resigned from the Civil Service (and joined Morgan Stanley bank) in 2003. The Hutton Inquiry found that he had claimed not to minute meetings in the PM’s office concerning the scientist Dr David Kelly who died, (murder or suicide) on 17 July 2003 having been named as a source questioning the veracity of the Dodgy Dossier.

With so much confusion it is at least clear that the UK had been mobilized by the USA to justify George Bush’s desire to hit Saddam Hussein. Sir John Scarlett’s role in the Iraq affair emerged as being pro-US.

Sir Jeremy Heywood’s role was less clear until 2013. when reports surfaced that Sir Jeremy Heywood’s Cabinet Office was blocking the release of papers to the Iraq inquiry which were detailed conversations between Blair and Bush together with notes and cabinet meetings. This was assumed to be to protect UK-US relations.

Sir John Scarlett acting as consultant to Morgan Stanley Bank once again joined with Sir Jeremy Heywood (returned to the Civil Service from Morgan Stanley bank) in an attempt to sell the UK defence contractor BAE Systems to the European defence contractor EADS in November 2012. Morgan Stanley stood to profit from the sale and questions about Heywood’s conflict of interest were asked.

The deal fell through but it was a good indicator of Heywood’s position on UK defence. It is part of the European and USA strategy that the EU member states reduce their defence capabilities in favour of a federal EU force.

A direct consequence of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was the spread of the radicalization process controlled by Al Qaeda and sister Taliban groups which were originally CIA creations.

The CIA waged a drone war on its creations in Pakistan without any hindrance from other states. Drone strike technology was developed and refined in a theatre of war well away from Western shores.

In the summer of 2013, it was announced that the EU intended to operate its own drone air force as an intelligence gathering operation to counter the US activities.

Lady Ashton called for the use of military drones in Europe. So the war which Heywood helped to start in Iraq produced a drone nursery in Pakistan which technology the EU can use against its own citizens using, “threats” as an excuse.

Member states are weakened militarily and in intelligence terms resultant of policies implemented by the likes of Sir Jeremy Heywood and Sir John Scarlett that an EU drone-based air intelligence force is the only answer to, “threats”.

31 October 2014: France’s security fears over mysterious drones seen flying above nuclear plants

France launched an investigation into unidentified drones that were spotted over nuclear plants operated by state-owned utility EDF.

The French interior minister said that seven nuclear plants across the country were overflown by drones without any impact on the plants’ safety or functioning. The drone sightings renewed concerns about the safety of nuclear plants in France, the world’s most nuclear-reliant country with 58 reactors on 19 sites operated by EDF.

The head of Greenpeace’s anti-nuclear campaign said in a statement. ‘What is happening is very worrying,’ adding that France’s nuclear research institute CEA near Paris had also been flown over, citing unspecified sources.

The unmanned aircraft were spotted late in the evening, at night or very early in the morning, EDF said. It is prohibited to fly less than 1,000 meters above nuclear plants and within a 5-kilometre radius.

New York Police to introduce drone technology

New York police said they were concerned drones could become tools for terrorists, and were investigating ways to stop potential attacks. The NYPD said the technology has advanced enough that someone could use them to carry out an air assault using chemical weapons and firearms and they intended to develop drone technology which will allow them to take control of drones and scan the skies for them before major events.
