7. "Toscano made it sound like something straight out of a crisis-management textbook — or Orwell"

Any good hypothesis needs experiments to prove it wrong/reinforce the conclusion. So I asked myself, if a propaganda move were in operation, it would have had roots from a year or so ago, and people would have talked about it. did a search using "domestic drone propaganda" and lookey what I found.
"After issuing a statement denouncing Krauthammer’s remarks as “irresponsible” and “dangerous,” Toscano said the AUVSI would go on the offensive against critics. While the strategy is still being shaped, Toscano made it sound like something straight out of a crisis-management textbook — or Orwell. The AUVSI wants to bombard the American public with positive images and messages about drones in an effort to reverse the growing perception of the aircraft as a threat to privacy and safety."

"Terror of the new"? I had to laugh.
