Bump: Thought I would link this to brighten up everyones day. I wonder if it will have sparkly high resolution of me taking a piss in my backyard? But there is another portion of the airspace—the stratosphere—that while mostly empty today, will in the coming years will become increasingly populated by gossamer-like, solar-powered drones turning silent, lazy circles in the sky. These drones will stay aloft for years at a time, running on energy collected during the day using solar panels mounted on paper-thin wings. As their slowly turning propellers push them along at bicycle speeds, arrays of high-resolution cameras on their undersides will record the daily comings and goings of the population of entire cities.
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

Q. Thought I would link this to brighten up everyones day. I wonder if it will have sparkly high resolution of me taking a piss in my backyard? A. Yes. btw- they also have low altitude drones as well.

I read somewhere years ago that “they” were working on spy drones the size of a fly. And that these could be flown into a room for surveillance purposes. The proverbial and literal fly on the wall.
I wonder if those are now operable?

The Military/Industrial/Surveillance Complex- logistics aside- probably could design something to accomplish that end, but they'd have to make them "idiot-friendly" for the users- and that's a problem no amount of engineering would overcome.

The USPS confirmed delivery and receipt on March 30, 2010 of my EXPRESS MAIL letter to Gov. Scott requesting the appointment of a special prosecutor outside of Florida's 14th Judicial District. I've pasted in the first paragraph below. March 28, 2012
Executive Office of Governor Rick Scott
400 S Monroe St
Tallahassee, FL 32399
Re: Request for Appointment of a Special Prosecutor
Dear Governor Scott,
I am requesting the Appointment of a Special Prosecutor outside the 14th Judicial Circuit per s. 119.07(1), Florida Statues (F.S.), s.119.10(2), s.119.07, s.119.10(1)(a),F.S., s.838.022(1)(b). F.S., part II of chapter 27, Florida Statues, and section 27.14, Florida Statues. 14th Judicial District State Attorney, Glenn Hess, is knowingly violating the Public Records in order to conceal and cover up criminal misconduct by Florida law enforcement agencies and officers, the West Florida Electric Cooperative Association (WFECA), former State Attorney Steve Meadows and his Chief Assistant State attorney, William A. Lewis, and other present and former public officials, including former Governor Charlie Crist. State Attorney Hess has a conflict of interest,which disqualifies him from representing the state in investigating my criminal charges against not only Florida law enforcement agencies, but the 14th Judicial District State Attorney Office itself.

I emailed the following Florida Public Records Request to Holmes County Sheriff Tim Brown this afternoon. Sheriff Tim Brown
Holmes County Sheriff's Office
211 N. Oklahoma Street
Bonifay Florida 32425
Dear Sheriff Brown,
I am writing to request copies of any and all formal or informal complaints against me, whether written or telephonic, any and all outstanding warrants, any inquiries from other state and federal agencies or departments, or any investigations, including any informal “off-the-books” ones from November 1, 2008 up until and including April 1, 2012, pursuant to the Pursuant to Article I, section 24, of the Florida Constitution, and Public Records Act, Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes.
This request includes copies of every document related to the matter, regardless of the format in which the information is stored, including any information stored on a computer (which is as much a written page in a book or stored in a filing cabinet).
If you refuse to provide this information, Chapter 119 requires you advise me in writing and indicate the applicable exemption to the Public Records Act. Also, please state with particularity the reasons for your decision, as required by Section 119.07(2)(a). If the exemption you are claiming only applies to a portion of the records, please delete that portion and provide photocopies of the remainder of the records, according to Section 119.07(2)(a).
I agree to pay the actual cost of duplication as defined in Section 119.07(1)(a). However, if you anticipate that in order to satisfy this request, "extensive use" of information technology resources or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance as defined in Section 119.07(1)(b) will be required, please provide a written estimate and justification.
I request these records be available by April 16, 2012. If you have any questions or need more information in order to expedite this request, please call me at 850/.......
Sincerely,
Joseph Michael Keegan

In the "Getting Out the Vote" category: After lunch earlier, I strolled up front to get the mail. It was a little after 1:00 p.m. Central time. After retrieving the mail, I headed back and saw a black pickup drive by headed south with a large campaign sticker plastered on the black pickup passenger side door in support of the former sheriff who is now running again to replace the one that replaced him. I wish the candidate luck. First time, however, I saw that shinny black pickup on this rural dirt road. But, as they say, there's a first time for everything. It appears that the former sheriff is running against the incumbent.

Unfortunately, Gov. Scott didn't reply to my request for the Appointment of a Special Prosecutor, so I emailed him a copy of my request this morning. I included the following introductory paragraph: Dear Governor Scott,
I’ve pasted in below my letter, dated March 28, 2012, to you requesting the appointment of a Special Prosecutor. The USPS verified delivery to your office on March 30, 2012. In the event that my letter was misplaced, I’ve pasted the text to it in below. In the event that my letter was lost, please regard this as my Request for Appointment of a Special Prosecutor. I’d appreciate the courtesy of a reply. Thank you.
Joe Keegan I've had two White Houses and one Vice President personally reply to my letters reporting misconduct and abuse of authority in the past. They replied within two weeks. It's been more than that and Gov. Scott still hasn't expressed any concern whatsoever for the rights of one of his constituents.

Interesting communication that I received this morning from a FL law firm. I had contacted the firm on the suggestion of an organization. Left one message on the answering service that I would call back. When I called back, I spoke to someone that said they would forward my explanation of my situation. When I didn't receive any reply, I completed and submitted an inquiry form that they have on their website. I didn't receive any reply to that, either. So, this morning I submitted another inquiry via their website as to whether or not they're interested in my case. This time one of the partners did reply. He said that I already inquired numerous times (never received a reply), that I had an in person consultation with his partner, and they're not interested and don't know any lawyer that can handle it. He also said to stop contacting them and wished me luck.
However, I did contact him just a short time ago by replying to his email. I told him that if his partner had an in person consultation, it wasn't with me. If his partner met with someone, it was someone masquerading as me. I never met with anyone, discussed details of this matter on the phone, or even went to the city where they're located anytime during the past several months.
