Broadcasting this week from our UAV control booth, it’s another edition of the Unfilter show!
This was one of those week’s where I was really struggling leading up to Wednesday morning to zero in on WTF our show was going to be about. I have a gut feeling for stories “good” enough to make it into the show, and wasn’t feeling what I’d been following so far.
But as I dug through all the recordings, clips, and surprisingly a Hong Kong news broadcast I realized these drone reports are kind of a big deal, and the start of a new wave of pressure and push back against the US’s drone policy.
I have a few links I really want to share with you guys this week.

This is an amazing HTML5 powered interactive documentary with some great information about the Cuban Missile Crisis. I highly recommend it.
The information on these reports is as valuable as what is on your credit report. Negative marks could cost you a bank account, insurance, or even your chance at a job. - The clip we played towards the end of the supporters show.
This is on my watch list, I’ve not seen it yet. But I skimmed it and it looks like it gives some interesting background details on the NSA.
And of course: Does Chase have a job yet.com
