tango Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 TYLER KULA The Observer A “moon the balloon” event to demonstrate opposition against a privately-owned surveillance system aimed at Sarnia from Port Huron, Michigan is gaining momentum. A new Facebook group dedicated to the event had more than 70 “confirmed guests” by Thursday evening. Others who can’t make the protest have offered to send in photocopied “moons” so they can participate by proxy. Adam Bush, the group’s creator, said the presence of the surveillance balloon across the St. Clair River is too aggressive. “We don’t know what it’s watching, we don’t know where the camera is,” he said. “It’s not necessarily a fact that it’s an invasion of privacy, but there’s the potential out there. The balloon, owned by the Sierra Nevada Corporation, has permission from the Federal Aviation Association to fly up to 1,000 feet and has a camera that can read the name of a ship from nine miles (14 kilometres) away. http://www.theobserver.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1680077 --- Go Sarnia!! Moon the balloon ... too funny ... I don't blame them. Who wants to be 'observed' by the US. Quote My Canada includes rights of Indigenous Peoples. Love it or leave it, eh! Peace.
lily Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 haha! I remember SNL put up a pic of Ronald Reagan and asked people to moon him and send in the pics. I took a pic of a couple of my friends... but we didn't send it anywhere. Quote I'll rise, but I won't shine.
