PLAYING DARPA, AGAIN: DRONES AND MILITARIZED TRANSHUMANISM

When Dr. de Hart and I were conversing during the writing of our forthcoming book Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas, one of the specific areas we noted occurred in this alchemical transformation of man and human culture was that seemingly most human of activities: war. We quickly encountered a host of bizarre government research projects that could only be qualified as being "transhumanist" in nature, which, for our our purposes, were deliberately designed with an alchemical agenda in mind. Many of these, we discovered, were being sponsored, or perhaps even philosophically impelled, by the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency, or DARPA.

In looking at the whole phenomenon and philosophy of transhumanism, we are looking in effect at the redefinition of "humanity", and this, as I have averred here before, needs itself much cultural discussion and consideration, since it seems to be under assault in so many ways and from so many quarters. In considering transhumanism and the military, we might be best to call it "militarized transhumanism," the military application and use of human-machine interfaces.

Well, the Alex Jones site is reporting yet another interesting development in this respect, the interface of human-drone capabilities and the expanding use of purely "machine warfare":

DRONE: Rise of the Autonomous Super Soldier

The frightening application and implication here is the "autonomy" now being programmed into these machines to "make decisions" on their own according to a set of pro-programmed parameters.

One need only consider the vast a-moral, and immoral, implications of such capabilities. Let us speculate a bit here. Yesterday I pointed out that there has long been an undertow of incipient racism and bigotry in the assumptions of western eugenicists, and that this assumption is in fact alive and well and lurking beneath recent pharmacological and legal developments. Let us take the same implicit assumption, and apply it here: suppose that one wished, for example, to eliminate a certain segment of the population: one could program such drones with facial-recognition programs to target only people with a certain skin pigmentation, or certain eye color, or a certain (apparent) age, and, with the new remote DNA sensing capabilities coming on line, to program them to sample a prospective "target" before making its "decision."

Rest assured, that if a hack from South Dakota can think of it, these monsters in the black projects world, and their even more monstrous financial backers, thought of it years ago and are busily bringing their creations into existence. It is, so to speak the very opposite of Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics.

Such programming and increasing intrusion of this type of machine into human culture will have its own profoundly transhumanist and alchemical transformation of its own in human patterns of behavior and mores, for as such pre-programmed machines intrude more and more, so humans will adapt their behavior to the quiescent modes of action that will not attract the attention of the machine.

And last, but not least, as the confident militarization of transhumanism proceeds, imagine putting such capabilities into broad circulation, and then having the whole engine hacked by outside sources, and the programs changed... the very infratsructure could conceivably be turned against its creators...

...See you on the flip side...

    Are you all missing the point?

    The main reason for the development of the drone warrior, is the attempt by the cryptocracy to overcome one major tactical obstacle to imposing martial law on a nation’s own people, in the event of economic and social collapse. The police and military, being of the same ilk as the people they are meant to control, will, when the fateful moment arrives, often fail to open fire on their own people when ordered to do so.

    Drone Robocops will have no such compunctions.

    Usually there are some back doors built in. These are secret. Then there is the back door, unknown but to those at the center of the web. These “autonomous” systems of entrepreneurial violence are power-tools coming online.

    The web of deciet is getting more & more dangerous and intrquingly delicate.

    Would you care to elaborate on the remote DNA sensing abilities?

    Would you care to elaborate on the possible remote DNA sensing abilities?

    Do you care to elaborate on the possible remote DNA sensing abilities being developed?

    Let’s just hope they use Windows – then the whole drone army will crash.

    No point in fearing any of this stuff. When you get to this point, you know the Gods are about to reset the game board with another cataclysm. It happens all the time.

    The only thing we will have to fear is that when the dust settles, the Earth stops shaking and spitting, when all technology is wiped out and forgotten along with most of humanity, their will be one Yahweh cult still trucking along singing his songs. The Amish. Prepare Americans for an Amish Theocracy.

      Its fun to watch all these different yahweh cults working like ants to bring about the final triumph of Yahweh over the Earth. The Mormons embracing technology and specifically trans-humanism to create a breed of super men to conquer the world. The muslims plotting world conquest through over breeding and jihad. The jews conspiring behind the shadows by controlling the world’s governments and money supply. The satanists working to convert the leadership of all the other yahweh cults to their particular vision of the future. And the Amish waiting patiently in the rear hoping to survive like cockroaches in case the other yahweh cults blow the world up and then finish the final coronation of yahweh as Master of the Earth.

      Sometimes they work together. Sometimes they work against each other. Its all very entertaining to watch. Even the Tibetan buddhists have a potential yahweh sect with their kalachakra and their 2029 end time theater and the rise of the King of Shambala (maybe Yahweh in disguise?)

        I see that you have stocked up on testosterone
        supplements, but you’ve checked your mind
        at the door.
        While you’re gone to look for it [bring jede]
        some of the rest of us will have a
        more people-friendly apocalypse…..
        an UNVEILING of truth….
        AND
        an unveiling of the ‘pod-people.’



        • Jedi on September 18, 2012 at 6:38 pm

          your a pod person….how refreshing a group thinker……brain check ticket 666

    One of the problems with general acceptance of “chipping” of humans is its implications in connection with drone warfare. Ostensibly, implanted chips would only have a reception range of one or two meters. Of course in the real world it is very possible that the technology exists to detect and identify these chips at ranges in the high kilometers. With identification at that range, completely automated assassination is simple. Just punch in the specific ID of the human in question, the drones seek that signal and launch a bomb to eliminate one more enemy of the state.

    Oddly enough, it may be — on a practical level — unnecessary to even use a chip to identify the victim. These days, almost everyone carries a cell phone, and each cell phone is mandated by law to contain a GPS locator. Once drone warfare is in place, just do the extra step of tracking the victims cell phone GPS and send the coordinates to the drone.



    • Hal Hichler on September 18, 2012 at 2:59 pm

      Plenty of other good reasons to not carry a cell phone like preserving your testosterone. Certainly don’t keep it in your pocket.

    Their greed knows no bounds witness Romney speech to his financial backers that half the population of the US is garbage to be thrown away left to rot in the sewers their evil knows no depth why not murder most of us in the world.



    • amunaor on September 18, 2012 at 11:17 am

      That’s right! Romney and his ilk, who expect to be bailed out by those they’ve already raped!

      Romney, and his ilk, who don’t even know what real work is; Romney who’s spent half of his life running for the office of presidency. No wonder they call him Mittens.

    Snow Crash.

    They do want to eliminate 90% of the population. Their attempts at biological pandemic have not succeeded. I guess this is why they’ve reinforced the Gestapo (DHS); they need the MIC.



    • Hal Hichler on September 18, 2012 at 2:11 pm

      I question that they are trying to kill off 90% of us. Aren’t they feeding off us psychically and wouldn’t more humans be a bigger buffet?



      • bdw on September 18, 2012 at 3:57 pm

        I agree. People have been screaming “genocide” for decades, and yet, curiously, the human population all over the planet just keeps on getting larger, and larger, and larger . . .. .

        If any major nation wanted to kill half the population of the planet, it would probably happen in a matter of weeks.

        There are probably some INDIVIDUALS with enough money to kill a billion or two if the so wanted.

        Therefore, if the population keeps rising it’s because that is what “they” want. If they wanted to wipe out 90% of us it would already have happened.



        • HAL838 on September 18, 2012 at 4:58 pm

          It’s true that a lot of pod-people will follow the carrot,
          but unlike the movie, it will have been their choice……
          no wmd necessary, just a shortage of carrots



        • Jedi on September 19, 2012 at 10:06 am

          the population has only grown exponentially in the last 1000 years..and look at the havoc they have caused.

          Enjoy being stuck in a line up? It is by design, a window of opportunity…err to buy some more time at the patent office too figure things out…. The universe being an electrical construct would therefore have a designer and a programmer…….Gods being created in a image are ….where?.



  11. Jedi on September 18, 2012 at 5:39 am

    not conceivably Doc, but eventually …..into the vanishing point.

    …i before e except after C.
