All war is one. Or to say the least all war is connected to the same things. In previous ages it was food, land, security from other more aggressive tribes, things of this nature,
From what I can see now it’s directly linked to money and power, what the villagers or tribe’s people get from it is entirely secondary. What this blimp story covers is mostly about the drug war. It concerns a tethered blimpette, very puny when compared to the giants that are being planned, or already are being deployed.
Rural residents along the Mexican Border have been reporting for years now the presence of large “globos” or blimps floating lazily over the cactus and mesquite of the border brush land. They are low flying blimps. The one we have pictures of was taken by a “Writers of The Rio Grande” reporter in the El Sauz area north of Rio Grande City, Texas. It was an aero-stat brand, say about 80 feet long or so, and was tethered. These blimps can not take high winds, and in fact, according to reports by locals, they can’t even take moderate winds. They are grounded much of the time…
Which brings up and obvious question: If everyone knows when the blimps can’t fly, or float in this case, then can’t they just check weather underground to know when to fly their small planes? 
Smugglers are very crafty people. The not so crafty get weeded out. (Excuse the pun). While obviously a low flying blimp can’t be very secret, Homeland Security is not all that forthcoming about them. If they were a raging success I’m sure we would be hearing a lot about the blimps. As it is they must have joined other such efforts as the “border virtual fence” and the “border wall” in the nowhere land where utter failure resides unmentioned.
So while doing moderate research for this article; while I was not able to pinpoint exactly where all the border blimps are, the location of two is certain. One is in Sierra Vista Arizona, because the local TV station just reported it crashed, crushing all BMW’s in its path. http://www.kold.com/story/14604172/s (see link); another is in El Sauz Tx. I have seen this myself and have pictures. And the sign says it is a US Air Force Facility.
Others say blimps have less to do with border security and more to do with citizen surveillance…Technological advances that we know about include
1. Body imaging technology
2. Body scanning at airports and government buildings
3. Body movement scanning and analysis
4. And also thermal imaging
There is a lot of information on all of this that is available to the public. And what is not sometimes can be hidden for years
The big, big blimps are another story. We’re talking riding over 65,000 feet in the air, and being able to scan a 600 mile radius. These babies are not exactly admitted to, but they have been reported by citizens all over the world. And they can monitor vehicles and individuals as well.

Americans tend to make it very easy for the mega-blimps, as we conveniently global position ourselves with On-Star and Navigation systems and cell phones. And this is just the ways that we know position us.
