“A drone strike is a terror weapon, we don't talk about it that way. It is; just imagine you are walking down the street and you don't know whether in 5 minutes there is going to be an explosion across the street from some place up in the sky that you can't see. Somebody will be killed, and whoever is around will be killed, maybe you'll be injured if you're there. That is a terror weapon. It terrorizes villages, regions, huge areas. It's the most massive terror campaign going on by a long shot.” IfsKnowsWayLongImagineSkyStreetsMinutesHugeWalkingWeaponsShotsAreasTerrorStrikesCampaignsRegionsMassiveVillageSocialistExplosionsInjuredDronesLinguistsLong Shots Author:Noam Chomsky

But there's no consideration, no chapter on preparation.” FirstsKindDoneMightStudyConditionsEventsShotsAreasPreparationConsiderationChaptersPeasantsUprising Author:Vijay Prashad
“I was leaving the Belfast court, where I had been called to answer a very flimsy charge, later dismissed. You're relatively safe in such areas in the Irish community, but to go to downtown Belfast for me is dangerous. My appearance in court had been well advertised by the police. I think it was too much of a coincidence that the people who shot me were just passing by.” PeopleThinkingWellsCommunityAnswersToo MuchDangerousSafeShotsAreasPoliceCourtLeavingAppearancePassingPassingsCoincidenceDowntownPassing ByBelfast Author:Gerry Adams
“When we shot 'The Lord of the Rings,' we had special permission to film in wild areas of New Zealand that could be accessed only by helicopter.
