America's Changing Direction
Franklin , Tennessee - ( because of my family being so disgustedly mistreated recently , I'm now talking about this ) Once upon a time , I over heard a conversation at my former employer. Here's what I remember : ( the military has UAVs , which stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle ) one version of this thing ( used by THE MARINES ) , comes in it's own backpack. Put a few parts together and you've got a flying airplane , now , put a camera on board and go find the enemy/target. With this toy plane is a computer , to program the flight path. GPS comes on board using a satellite link , which also enables this to send live pics to both the user and to someone at The Pentagon.
Well , the discussion was about exploring possibilities to make this UAV package smaller and lighter for the soldier in the field. To accomplish this feat , it was decided to use a helmet mounted , eye controllable , " keyboard ". It weighs less than a pound and has a flip down eye screen. The eyeball moves a cursor to program the UAV. ( Currently , quads use a similar system to help them live better , " quality lives " in a wheelchair ) Somewhere in the conversation , the idea of using implants came into the discussion.
Why ? Because the concern over this new change of doing things in the battle field was having someone compromise the mission or possibly make their own personal agenda while using this thing. Soooo , the card idea was explored. Research would be needed , to explore medical procedures and to implement , implant card reception. This way , the soldier can be programed any where and out of sight , The Pentagon deemed necessary. Some how , some where , the original UAV discussion , had dropped out of the conversation and the idea of having an elite special forces , with a card in their brains became the plan of the day.
Everyone was getting very excited , with all of this talk about programming their very own , elite killer soldiers , when the question suddenly came up , " Can this card technology be used on the general population ? " ( that's you and me , they are referring too , do you understand )
Soooo , how do you feel about this idea ? Hmmmm . What I would like to know is why The Pentagon would be asking such questions in the first place. I mean , just because they get 400 Billion dollars a year , to spend just on " Black Projects " , why are they talking about such ideas ? Is The Pentagon making future decisions for " US " now ?
That conversation took place over 10 years ago.
Note : I was horribly threatened at Vanderbilt , about what would happen to my family and me , if I ever mention this to anyone. Well , I don't care any more. Let your family cook under a microwave for a while and let's see how you feel about it.
