The effort to normalize drone surveillance [View all]

I hypothesize that TPTB want more surveillance on us, and the hexapod propeller drones are the next step, but it will only work if people accept them. I bet there is a propaganda effort occurring to make these devices appear friendlier.
The much-publicized Amazon drone delivery package that came up in recent weeks had no purpose. Those things will never deliver packages. Why would they have that event? To make us all think the devices are gee-whiz wonderful.


I recently saw the video of the LEGO car, and it has a hexapod in the background, perhaps for filming, but it also puts the device in a non-threatening presentation (who dislikes LEGOs?) which makes us more accepting when we see it. You can see the hexapod at 1:20 on this video.
