'Nearly all the leaders of the liberal opposition are either fully Jewish or have Jewish background" - Michael Edelstein, a lecturer at Moscow State University and a writer for the Jewish monthly magazine L’chaim.

THE JEWISH QUESTION
This article was first published in the Occidental Observer in March, 2015
It’s obvious that there is a strong Jewish influence in the West opposed to Russia, particularly noticeable among the Israel Lobby and the neocons — Victoria Nuland‘s family ties and her role in the Ukrainian revolution come to mind.

There are many reasons for this, certainly including Russia’s alliance with Iran and Syria at a time when Israel and the Israel Lobby are doing all they can to promote war with both. Quite simply, Jewish hostility stems from the fact that Russia under Vladimir Putin has proved to be far more nationalistic than is good for the Jews or for Israel.
Boris Nemtsov and fanboy Bill Clinton
An article in The Jerusalem Post, excerpted below, notes the very prominent role of Jews within Russia in opposing Putin — Putin refers to the opposition as a “fifth column” in Russia. But, in addition to foreign policy differences, there are also overtones of festering resentment about the role of Jewish oligarchs under Yeltsin in looting the country. Nemtsov, as noted in the article, was second in command to Yeltsin.

The article again raises basic issues about Jewish loyalties in the Diaspora. As in the period from 1880 to 1917 (here, pp 66-67), there is a common stance among the organized Jewish community in the Diaspora against Russia, now tinged with Jewish loyalties to Israel at a time when war with Iran has assumed center stage for the Israel Lobby. As in the 1880-1917 period, this has resulted in Diaspora Jewish communities favoring foreign policies that are not necessarily aligned with the interests of the countries they live in but are aligned with international Jewish interests.
From The Jerusalem Post (“Nemtsov murder reminds Russian Jews of lingering anti-Semitism”
A Jewish scholar of education from St. Petersburg, Zicer, 55, has limited hope for change in a country that is ranked 148th in the Press Freedom Index and where several of Putin’s critics have either died under mysterious circumstances or been jailed for what they and many Western observers say are trumped-up corruption charges.
On Sunday, however, Zicer marched through St. Petersburg with 10,000 people, many of them Jewish, in protest of the murder in central Moscow of Boris Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister. Nemtsov, an opposition leader, was gunned down on Saturday just hours after he urged fellow citizens to attend a rally against Russia’s involvement in the war in Ukraine. …
“This murder and the incitement that preceded it is so shocking that I could no longer remain an observer,” Zicer said.
Whether or not the Kremlin ordered the killing, as some have accused, Zicer holds the Russian president responsible because of the “the wild incitement he allowed on media in recent months against Nemtsov and other opposition figures.”
Kremlin spokesmen have denied any involvement in the slaying.
To many Russian Jews, the murder of Nemtsov — a physicist turned liberal politician, born to a Jewish mother but baptized in the Orthodox Church — is a troubling reminder of vulnerability as members of a relatively affluent minority with a history of being scapegoated, strong ties to the West and a deep attachment to cosmopolitan values and human rights.

As in the U.S. and throughout the West, Jews in Russia adopt views that benefit Jews in the Diaspora, advocating “cosmopolitan values and human rights” while also strongly supporting Israel with its strong ethnonationalist values and systematic oppression and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. Jews correctly see the West as representing cosmopolitan values opposed to the identification of nation with the ethnic or nationalist interests of its traditional peoples, and, as noted here repeatedly and as the main message of The Culture of Critique, the creation of the West as cosmopolitan has been a Jewish project throughout the 20th century, coming to fruition in the 1960s and accelerating in the ensuing decades.
The murder hit Russia’s sizable Jewish intelligentsia particularly hard because “nearly all the leaders of the liberal opposition are either fully Jewish or have Jewish background,” said Michael Edelstein, a lecturer at Moscow State University and a writer for the Jewish monthly magazine L’chaim. “His murder is the low point in a process that started about two years ago which has left the Jewish intelligentsia and its milieu feeling more uneasy than ever before in post-communist Russia.” …
In an interview conducted with Newsweek hours before his death, Nemtsov said that because of Putin’s policy, Russia’s economy is collapsing.
Russia’s support for separatists in Ukraine was “wading into a costly, fratricidal war in Ukraine and into pointless confrontation with the West,” Nemtsov told the magazine.
“We all feel the effects of this insane policy,” Nemtsov said, adding that Putin’s use of media reminded him of the Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels.
Putin responded to such criticisms by referring to opponents of Russia’s actions in Ukraine — and especially the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula — as a fifth column. And though Putin did not name Nemtsov, the president was widely thought to be referring to him, the liberal camp’s most senior politician. Russian media considered to have close Kremlin ties published Nemtsov’s name on lists of suspected traitors that started circulating shortly after those included on the lists expressed their opposition to Russia’s annexation of Crimea in March 2014.

Labeling the liberal opposition as a fifth column is tantamount to questioning their loyalty to Russian national interests in retaining close economic and cultural ties with neighboring countries (see John Mearsheimer’s “Why the Ukraine crisis is the West’s fault“). Again, given the divergence in the foreign policy concerns of Russia versus Israel and diaspora Jewish communities, there is more than a whiff here of the charge of disloyalty.
In a 2010 televised interview, Putin said that Nemtsov and other opposition figures stole billions from Russians and would “sell off the whole of Russia” if given the chance.
On the face of it, this would appear to be a reference to the notoriously corrupt, overwhelmingly Jewish oligarchs who ended up controlling the basic industries in Russia during the Yeltsin era. The statement alludes to their lack of feelings and concern for Russia; much of the wealth of the oligarchs ended up in the West in Swiss bank accounts, etc. It truly was a matter of looting Russia by people with no ethnic ties to the Russian people — a financial version of the aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution.
“Nemtsov was on every list of traitors published on the Internet and aired on state TV,” the Russian-Jewish journalist Leonid Bershidsky wrote on Bloomberg View after the murder.
Bershidsky added, “It did not help that he was Jewish. There was a strong undercurrent of anti-Semitism in the smear campaign.”
However, some Russians doubt that Putin would go to the trouble of ordering the assassination of a high-profile figure who ultimately may be more trouble dead than alive. Nemtsov, after all, had failed to gain widespread popularity outside the urban elite and thus never constituted any real political threat to Putin.
Edelstein noted that “there may have been anti-Semitic incitement online and in far-right circles,” but “Nemtsov wasn’t perceived as a Jew and wasn’t attacked as such.”
The evidence in Nemtsov’s killing, Edelstein believes, “points to ultra-nationalists, perhaps militiamen who fought in Ukraine, perhaps only their sympathizers.”
Nemstov himself was open about being born to a Jewish mother and said he rarely felt any discrimination.

Nevertheless, this is a Jewish story and one with sobering implications for how one thinks about the liberal opposition movement in Russia and the demonization of Russia in Western media and political circles.

<img src="/content/images/2019/07/Brain-Implants.png" />NeuraLink describes the device as “sewing machine-like”. The system implants ultra-thin threads deep into the brain’s nervous system.<br />
The company has applied to US regulators in the hopes of beginning trials on humans next year.<br />
Primarily, the firm states that initially it wants to help people with severe neurological conditions, but as with all of his companies, Mr Musk is aiming for more and sees humanity’s future as having “superhuman cognition”.<br />
The device in question, which is nameless so far, will see the tiny thread fitted with 3,000 electrodes which can monitor the activity of 1,000 neurons.<br />
<img src="https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/151/590x/musk-neurons-1154884.jpg?r=1563442357282" /><em>Elon Musk wants brain implants to merge humans with artificial intelligence (Image: GETTY)</em><br />
<br />
This means the implanted device would be able to target very specific areas of the brain, and said device could analyse the neurons and using <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/latest/artificial-intelligence" rel="tag">artificial intelligence</a> (AI) would work out hot to stimulate the patient.<br />
Details on how brain activity will be translated or how the brain would be stimulated have not been released.<br />
Mr Musk said: “It’s not like suddenly we will have this incredible neural lace and will take over people’s brains.<br />
“It will take a long time.”<br />

However, he did say the device would allow for “symbiosis with artificial intelligence”.<br />
NeuraLink, which Mr Musk has invested over $100 million (£80 million) in, said they went public with their plans as to put a halt to rumours.<br />
Max Hodak, Neuralink’s president and one of the company’s founders, said: “We want this burden of stealth mode off of us so that we can keep building and do things like normal people, such as publish papers.”<br />
<img src="/content/images/2019/07/neural-network-1966446.jpg" /><em>The system implants ultra-thin threads deep into the brain’s nervous system (Image: GETTY)</em><br />
Initially, the device would be implanted using drills but the scientists hope they will one day be able to use laser technology.<br />
Mr Hodak continued: “One of the big bottlenecks is that a mechanical drill couples vibration through the skull, which is unpleasant, whereas a laser drill, you wouldn’t feel.”<br />
Mr Musk hopes the product will be on the market within four years.<br />

The bottom line is for the people to regain their original, moral principles, which have intentionally been watered out over the past generations by our press, TV, and other media owned by the Illuminati/Bilderberger Group, corrupting our morals by making misbehaviour acceptable to our society.

Utfordringen er å få verdensledende tenkere innen to forskjellige disipliner inn i samme rom og ikke slippe dem ut før de er blitt enig om en ny artikkel de kan skrive. Ofte snakker folk om et flott tverrfaglig program, men det har i realiteten ett hovedbein, og alle i det rådgivende utvalget, alle postdoc-ene, alle doktorgradene du får inn, alle er stort sett fra det beinet du kjenner best og forstår best.</span></div>

Nederst i det ene trekant-hjørnet har du trenerne som oversetter bestillingen til konkrete oppdrag, som også er tverrfaglige, fordi de handler om hvordan du jobber i team, hvordan du trener og spiser og så videre. Så har du utøverne i det siste hjørnet, som bidrar innovativt til oppdraget. Jeg vil gjerne se samme type trekant, med en industrisjef på toppen som sier hva bestillingen er. Og jeg tror at i Norge bør bestillingen være høyteknologi for prosessindustri, hvor prosessindustri i tillegg til olje og gass kan være andre energityper.

<b>1. The Sounds of Silence</b></div>
</b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Here’s one–subliminal programming carried by UHF or Ultra High Frequency signals. Some say this is the reason the government so enthusiastically pushed everyone to digital broadcasting, to implement this, and free-up the analog bandwidth for even more insidious purposes…the coming universally implanted chip.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The Department of Defense calls it Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS), and it also goes by the name of S-quad or Squad. In the private sector, the technology goes by the name of Silent Subliminal Presentation System and the technology has also been released to certain corporate vendors who have attached catchy brand names like <a href="http://brainspeak.com/">BrainSpeak</a> Silent Subliminals to their own SSSS-based products.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Whatever you call it, SSSS is a technology that uses <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subliminal_message">subliminal programming</a> that is carried over Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) broadcast waves, planting inaudible messages directly into the subconscious human mind.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Perfected more than twenty years ago by the Department of Defense and battlefield-tested upon unwitting Iraqi soldiers serving in the army of Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War during 1991, SSSS is a sinister weapon that may have been been developed for a specific mission: the total <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn14250-microwave-ray-gun-controls-crowds-with-noise/">subjugation of the American people.</a></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
We’re talking nasty here. Would these controllers do such a thing? Are you kidding? Any tool that works is a good tool for these tools. Nature will find a way around it, but it’s something to behold how desperate these control freaks are.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Whether SSSS is coupled with the new all-digital TV signal as its means of delivery into the minds of an unsuspecting U.S. populace or not, it can be deployed by many different devices, including HAARP and GWEN towers, which would effectively blanket the entire nation at once. In fact, Judy Wall says that “there is evidence that the US Government has plans to extend the range of this technology to envelop all peoples, all countries. This can be accomplished, is being accomplished, by utilising the nearly completed HAARP project for overseas areas and the GWEN network now in place in the US. The US Government denies all this.”</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
But the most insidious aspect of SSSS is that it is completely undetectable by those being targeted. Because it delivers its subliminal programming directly to the human brain via the auditory sense at frequencies that humans are incapable of perceiving as sound, there is no defense against it. Everyone on the planet is equally susceptible to mind control via SSSS and there isn’t any escape from it, as the UHF waves can be transmitted over very long distances from remotely located sources and will pass through walls and other objects as if they are not there. UHF is the frequency (100mhz) that has been used for television and radio broadcasting for as long as these media have existed. SSSS is designed to utilize UHF as a carrier wave.</div>
</span><br /><div style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; text-align: justify;">
Even more insidious, though, is the fact that, coupled with the use of supercomputers, an individual’s unique electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns can be digitally altered and then stored for rebroadcast via digital UHF. According to Judy Wall, editor and publisher of Resonance, the <a href="http://www.bioelectromagnetics.org/newsletter/news172.pdf">newsletter of the Bioelectromagnetics Special Interest Group</a>, these computer-enhanced EEGs “can identify and isolate the brain’s low-amplitude ‘emotion signature clusters,’ synthesize them and store them on another computer. In other words, by studying the subtle characteristic brainwave patterns that occur when a subject experiences a particular emotion, scientists have been able to identify the concomitant brainwave pattern and can now duplicate it.” These modified emotion signature clusters can then be broadcast over UHF carrier frequencies (i.e., regular TV and radio signals) directly into the brain where they can then “silently trigger the same basic emotion in another human being.” In other words, if the emotional signature cluster for, say, a feeling of hopelessness and despair is being fed directly into your brain via unseen radio waves, you will feel those emotions. The implications of this are, quite literally, mind boggling. <a href="http://wemustknow.net/2011/01/silent-sound-spread-spectrum-ssss-the-all-digital-tv-broadcast-signal-connection/">Source</a></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The U.S. military bankrolled early development of a non-lethal microwave weapon that creates sound inside your head. But in the end, the gadget may be just as likely to wind up in shopping malls as on battlefields, as report in <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/">New Scientist</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The project is known as MEDUSA – a contrived acronym for Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio. And it should not be confused with the <a href="https://www.wired.com/2007/05/acoustic_device/">Long Range Acoustic Device</a> and similar gadgets which simply project sound. This one uses the so-called “microwave auditory effect”: a beam of microwaves is turned into sound by the interaction with your head. Nobody else can hear it unless they are in the beam as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The effect has long been a laboratory curiosity, with no application. But, over the years, the military has been intrigued. The idea (dubbed “the telepathic ray gun”) was mentioned in a <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/">1998 US Army study</a>, which turned up in a recent Freedom of Information Act document dump. Five years later, the Navy <a href="https://www.wired.com/2007/08/the-other-medus/">decided to put some R&D dollars</a> into the project. Now, as I note on the <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/">New Scientist website</a>, Dr. Lev Sadovnik of the <a href="https://www.sncorp.com/">Sierra Nevada Corporation</a> has provided more details.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are health risks, he notes. But the biggest issue from the microwave weapon is not the radiation. It’s the risk of brain damage from the high-intensity shock-wave created by the microwave pulse. Clearly, much more research is needed on this effect at the sort of power levels that Dr. Sadovnik is proposing. But if it does prove hazardous, that does not mean an end to weapons research in this area: a device that delivered a lethal shock-wave inside the target’s skull might make an effective death ray.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dr. Sadovnik also makes the intriguing suggestion that, instead of being used at high power to create an intolerable noise, it might be used at low power to produce a whisper that was too quiet to perceive consciously but might be able to subconsciously influence someone. The directional beam could be used for targeted messages, such as in-store promotions. Sadovnik even suggests subliminal advertising, beaming information that is not consciously heard (a notion also spotted on the <a href="https://www.wired.com/2008/05/army-removes-pa/">US Army’s voice-to-skull page</a>). While the <a href="http://www.snopes.com/business/hidden/popcorn.asp">effectiveness of subliminal persuasion is dubious</a>, I can see there might be some organizations interested in this capability. And if that doesn’t work, you could always point the thing at birds. They seem to be highly sensitive to microwave audio, so it might be used to scare flocks away from wind farms — or shoo pigeons from city streets. <a href="https://www.wired.com/2008/07/the-microwave-s/">Source</a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pretty serious stuff. There’s lots more to all this, I’m only touching on the surface to get people thinking and aware. I’m no expert on any of this by any means, just aware we’re being screwed for ulterior motives…as usual.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fundamental point is, these towers you’re seeing going up around you are not only all for cell phones! Some of these are huge metal beams emanating incredibly destructive influences around them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to expert <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQANlSd0d4s">Barry Trower</a>, cell towers should not be within a mile and a half of humans – yet they’re deliberately placed on medical buildings, within densely populated housing areas, and on schools and recreation areas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s a living tragedy in slow motion. And no one notices, because no one in responsible positions are responsible to the people, just money, power, position and corporate greed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Be aware. Campaign against towers near you and your loved ones and expose them. Investigate orgonite and other technologies and disable towers all you can.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />De fleste av dem, er det som blir igjen når elektronene er borte fra et hydrogen eller helium-atom. Partiklene treffer oss med enorm fart, like oppunder lysets hastighet.<br /><br />Partiklene blåses ut fra nøytronstjerner, supernovaer og sorte hull, og har altså reist langt før de kommer inn mot solsystemet.<br /><br />Også solen sender ut ladde partikler, «solvind», det er den som gir oss nordlys. Men partiklene fra solen har lavere fart enn de partiklene forskerne nå skremmes av. Kan være dødelig<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2014SW001084/abstract">For fire år siden slo professor Nathan Schwadron ved University of New Hampshire alarm</a>. Data fra NASAs Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter viste at nivået av kosmisk stråling var høyere enn noen gang i romfartens historie.<br /><br /><br />Det er <a href="http://spaceweather.com/">Spaceweather</a> som kommer med nyheten.<br /><br /><br />Kosmisk stråling er farlig. Partiklene er veldig ustabile, og påvirker cellene i kroppen vår. Store strålingsdoser er dødelige, mindre doser kan skade organer, føre til kreft, og endre arvestoffet vårt.<br /><br /><br />Schwadron og kollegene har beregnet at en mannlig astronaut kunne oppholde seg i rommet i 1000 dager i 1990 før han nådde den anbefalte maksimale strålingsdosen.<br /><br /><br />I 2014 var perioden redusert til 700 dager.<br /><br /><br />– Det er en stor endring, sier Schwadron til <a href="http://spaceweather.com/">Spaceweather</a>.<br /><br /><br />Under ser du Shwadrons illustrasjon av utviklingen.<br /><br />ANTALL DAGER er romfarer kan være oppe i rommet, avhengig av aluminiumstykkelsen på veggene i romfartøyet, og solsyklusen</span></span><br /><img src="https://static.tv2.no/s/files/2018/03/06/str%C3%A5l060318.gif" /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Kilde: Spaceweather.com<br />Skjermingen svekkes<br /><br /><br />Kloden vår er skjermet for det meste av den kosmiske strålingen.<br /><br /><br />Magnetfeltet rundt Solen styrer mye av strålingen bort. Jordens eget magnetfelt skjermer også, og mange av partiklene ødelegges når de treffer atmosfæren vår.<br /><br /><br />Kollisjonen med molekylene i luften rundt oss gjør at det dannes nye partikler, som så brytes ned til andre partikler, røntgenstråler og lys.<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.cdn.tv2.no/images?imageId=9723440&x=0&y=0&cropw=100&croph=100&width=314&height=245&compression=75" /></span></h1>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">PARTIKLENE brytes ned til nye partikler når de treffer atmosfæren. Illustrasjon: NASA<br /><br /><br />Astronauter er mest utsatt for kosmisk stråling, men vi får også i oss doser av den når vi flyr.<br /><br /><br />Årsaken til den økte strålingen er at Solen ikke beskytter oss like godt lenger.<br /><br /><br />Aktiviteten til Solen går i bølger på elleve år. Når den er på topp, er solskiven full av solflekker. De er utbruddene i dem sammen med magnetfeltet til Solen som tar hånd om partiklene, det er grunnen til at kuvene i figuren over svinger.<br />Har økt ytterligere<br /><br /><br />Nå nærmer vi oss minimum i solsyklusen. Solen er helt glatt, og "stillere" enn den har vært på lenge.<br /><br />SOLEN akkurat nå<br /><br /><img src="https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/latest/latest_512_HMIIC.jpg" />Bilde: SDO<br /><br /><br />– De siste ti årene har solvinden hatt lav tetthet av partikler og magnetfeltet har vært svakt. Resultatet av den bemerkelsesverdige lave solaktiviteten er at den kosmiske strålingen øker, forklarer Schwadron.<br /><br /><br />Da han og kollegene oppdaget økningen for fire år siden, anslo de at mengden stråling ville øke med 20 prosent i forhold til forrige solsyklus.<br /><br /><br />Nå må forskerne øke anslaget med ti prosent.<br /><br />Flere skyer?<br /><br /><br />Den økte strålingen får størst umiddelbare konsekvenser for romfarten, men også risikoen for flymannskap øker.<br /><br /><br />Den totale strålingsdosen begrenser hvor mye piloter og kabinpersonell kan jobbe i løpet av et år. I Europa er grensen 6 mSv per år.<br /><br /><br />Kosmisk stråling kan også påvirke været. Når strålingen treffer luften dannes det ørsmå partkler som vanndamp kondenserer på, slik at det da<span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">nnes skyer.</span></span></h1>

Miles Brundage, research fellow at Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute, said: "AI will alter the landscape of risk for citizens, organisations and states - whether it's criminals training machines to hack or 'phish' at human levels of performance or privacy-eliminating surveillance, profiling and repression - the full range of impacts on security is vast.</div>

I’ve often mentioned Project Pegasus, but we’ve never really talked about it, you know? So sit back, relax, mix yourself a cool Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Or don’t, because reading this will probably give you the same effect.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; color: cyan;">*<span id="more-15594" style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span></span></div>

In 2004, Washington-based attorney Andrew D. Basiago began telling his story of a top-secret organization called Project Pegasus. Although he was only seven years old at the time, Basiago claims he had, from 1968 to 1972, participated in a number of bizarre experiments that took him on journeys through time, space, and potentially into parallel universes.</div>

“Project Pegasus was the classified, defense-related research and development program under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in which the US defense-technical community achieved time travel on behalf of the US government – the real Philadelphia Experiment.” – Project Pegasus Mission Statement</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
The <a href="http://www.projectpegasus.net/mission_statement" style="background-color: transparent; box-shadow: none; box-sizing: inherit; color: #05689e; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 80ms ease-in, box-shadow 130ms ease-in-out, -webkit-box-shadow 130ms ease-in-out;">mission of Project Pegasus</a> was to study the effects of time travel and teleportation on children, as well as to relay important information about past and future events “to the US President, intelligence community, and military.” According to Basiago, children were recruited specifically for their ability to adapt “to the strains of moving between past, present and future.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">But how?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
While Basiago claims there were several time travel devices at work during these experiments, the majority of his temporal adventures can be attributed to our old friend Nikola Tesla.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
Documents, allegedly retrieved from Tesla’s New York City apartment after his death in January 1943, revealed the schematic for a teleportation machine. Using something Basiago calls “radiant energy,” the machine would form a “shimmering curtain” between two elliptical booms.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 10px solid rgb(216, 223, 234); box-sizing: inherit; color: #666666; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.125rem; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px 0px 0px 15px; quotes: "" "";">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; padding: 0px;">
“Radiant energy is a form of energy that Tesla discovered that is latent and pervasive in the universe and has among its properties the capacity to bend time-space.” – Andrew Basiago</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
Passing through this curtain of energy, Basiago would enter a “vortal tunnel” that would send him to his destination. The other teleportation devices included a “plasma confinement chamber” in New Jersey and a “jump room” in El Segundo, California. There was also some kind of “holographic technology,” which allowed them to travel “both physically and virtually.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
They weren’t always safe, though. According to the Huffington Post, one of Basiago’s cohorts, Alfred Webre, recalls one instance in which a child <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/28/andrew-basiago-seattle-attorney-time-travels_n_1438216.html" style="background-color: transparent; box-shadow: none; box-sizing: inherit; color: #05689e; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 80ms ease-in, box-shadow 130ms ease-in-out, -webkit-box-shadow 130ms ease-in-out;">returned from his temporal voyage before his legs</a>. As he puts it, “He was writhing in pain with just stumps where his legs had been.” These bugs, according Webre, have been ironed out in the 40 or so years since the experiments began.</div>

So where did Basiago travel during these experiments?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
Several of his voyages led him to the 1800s. On one occasion, he found himself at Gettysburg on November 19, 1863, the day President Abraham Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg address.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
As Basiago tells the story, he had been dressed up as a “Union bugle boy.” However, he felt that his over-sized shoes were drawing too much attention, so he wandered away from the crowd, only to be photographed (as you can see in the alleged photo up there).</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
Basiago also traveled to the Ford Theatre on the evening President Lincoln was assassinated. In fact, he did so multiple times, even running into himself twice, though he never actually witnessed the assassination.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
Each trip, he says, was slightly different than the last, leading Basiago to believe that it wasn’t just time travel at work; he was being sent into “slightly different alternative realities on adjacent timelines.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
Finally, let’s not forget <a href="https://www.strangerdimensions.com/2012/01/05/has-president-obama-traveled-to-mars/" style="background-color: transparent; box-shadow: none; box-sizing: inherit; color: #05689e; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 80ms ease-in, box-shadow 130ms ease-in-out, -webkit-box-shadow 130ms ease-in-out;">Basiago’s trips to Mars</a>. In the 1980s, he utilized the aforementioned “jump room” to teleport to the Red Planet, with the express mission of acting as an ambassador to the Martian civilization. His fellow travelers? William Stillings and Barry Soetero, who these days goes by the name President Barack Obama.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.625rem; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0.5em 0px 0px;">
The “Planetary Impact” of Project Pegasus</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
Today, the “new” Project Pegasus, led by Andrew D. Basiago himself, is apparently campaigning for the United States government to publicly disclose its teleportation technology, which would benefit humanity as a whole and make transportation both on Earth and throughout the cosmos instantaneous and environment-friendly. Or something like that.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
At any rate, Basiago’s story is far from over. While the Web Bot’s prediction in 2009 that he would “make a [planetary impact]” as a government whistle blower never really came to pass (more on that later), he’s got some new plans.

<br />
<i><b>Paul Jongko April 2, 2016</b></i><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk have something in common, and it’s not wealth or intelligence. They’ re all terrified of the AI takeover. Also called the AI apocalypse, the AI takeover is a hypothetical scenario where artificially intelligent machines become the dominant life-form on Earth. It could be that robots rise and become our overlords, or worse, they exterminate mankind and claim Earth as their own.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />But can the AI Apocalypse really happen? What has prompted reputable and world-renowned people like Musk and Hawking to express their concern about this hypothetical scenario? Can Hollywood films like The Terminator be right after all? Let’s find out why many credible people, even leading scientists, are concerned about the AI takeover and why it could happen very soon.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>10 They’re Learning To Deceive And Cheat</b></span><br /><br />Lying is a universal behavior. Humans do it all the time, and even some animals, such as squirrels and birds, resort to it for survival. However, lying is no longer limited to humans and animals. Researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology have developed artificially intelligent robots capable of cheating and deception. The research team, led by Professor Ronald Arkin, hopes that their robots can be used by the military in the future.<br /><br />Once perfected, the military can deploy these intelligent robots in the battlefield. They can serve as guards, protecting supplies and ammunition from enemies. By learning the art of lying, these AIs can “buy time until reinforcements are able to arrive” by changing their patrolling strategies to deceive other intelligent robots or humans.<br /><br />However, Professor Arkin has admitted that there are “significant ethical concerns” regarding his research. If his findings leak outside of the military and fall into the wrong hands, it could spell catastrophe.<br /><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>9 They’re Starting To Take Over Our Jobs</b></span><br /><br />Many of us are afraid of AIs and robots killing us, but scientists say we should be more worried about something less horrifying—machines eliminating our jobs. Several experts are concerned that advances in artificial intelligence and automation could result in many people losing their jobs to machines. In the United States alone, there are 250,000 robots performing work that humans used to do. What’s more alarming is that this number is increasing by double digits every year.<br /><br />It’s not only workers who are worried about machines taking over human jobs; AI experts are concerned, too. Andrew Ng of Google’s Brain Project and a chief scientist from Baidu (China’s equivalent to Google) have expressed concerns about the danger of AI advancement. AIs threaten us because they’re capable of doing “almost everything better than almost anyone.”<br /><br />Well-respected institutions have also released studies that mirror this concern. For example, Oxford University conducted a study which suggested that in the next 20 years, 35 percent of jobs in the UK will be replaced by AIs.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>8 They’re Starting To Outsmart Human Hackers</b></span><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hollywood movies portray hacking as sexy or cool. In real life, it’s not. It’s “usually just a bunch of guys around a table who are very tired [of] just typing on a laptop.”<br /><br />Hacking might be boring in real life, but in the wrong hands, it can be very dangerous. What’s more dangerous is the fact that scientists are developing highly intelligent AI hacking systems to fight “bad hackers.” In August 2016, seven teams are set to compete in DARPA’s Cyber Grand Challenge. The aim of this competition is to come up with supersmart AI hackers capable of attacking enemies’ vulnerabilities while at the same time finding and fixing their own weaknesses, “protecting [their] performance and functionality.”<br /><br />Though scientists are developing AI hackers for the common good, they also acknowledge that in the wrong hands, their superintelligent hacking systems could unleash chaos and destruction. Just imagine how dangerous it would be if a superintelligent AI got hold of these smart autonomous hackers. It would render humans helpless!<br /><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>7 They’re Starting To Understand Our Behavior</b></span><br /><br />Facebook is undeniably the most influential and powerful social media platform today. For many of us, it has become an essential part of our everyday routines—just like eating. But every time we use Facebook, we’re unknowingly interacting with an artificial intelligence. During a town hall in Berlin, Mark Zuckerberg explained how Facebook is using artificial intelligence to understand our behavior.<br /><br />By understanding how we behave or “interact with things” on Facebook, the AI is able to make recommendations on we might find interesting or what would suit our preferences. During the town hall, Zuckerberg expressed his plan to develop even more advanced AIs to be used in other areas such as medicine. For now, Facebook’s AI is only capable of pattern recognition and supervised learning, but it’s foreseeable that with Facebook’s resources, scientists would eventually come up with supersmart AIs capable of learning new skills and improving themselves—something that could either improve our lives or drive us to extinction.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>6 They’ll Soon Replace Our Lovers</b></span><br /><br />Many Hollywood movies, such as Ex-Machina and Her, have explored the idea of humans falling in love and having sex with robots. But could it happen in real life? The controversial answer is yes, and it’s going to happen soon. Dr. Ian Pearson, a futurologist, released a shocking report in 2015 that says “human-on-robot sex will be more common than human-on-human sex” by 2050. Dr. Pearson partnered with Bondara, one of the UK’s leading sex toy shops, in conducting the report.<br /><br />His report also includes the following predictions: By 2025, very wealthy people will have access to some form of artificially intelligent sex robots. By 2030, everyday people will engage in some form of virtual sex in the same way people casually watch porn today. By 2035, many people will have sex toys “that interact with virtual reality sex.” Finally, by 2050, human-on-robot sex will become the norm.<br /><br />Of course, there are people who are against artificially intelligent sex robots. One of them is Dr. Kathleen Richardson. She believes that sexual encounters with machines will set unrealistic expectations and will encourage misogynistic behavior toward women.<br /> </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">She might look like Sarah Palin, but she’s not. She’s Yangyang, an artificially intelligent machine who will cordially shake your hand and give you a warm hug. Yangyang was developed by Hiroshi Ishiguro, a Japanese robot expert, and Song Yang, a Chinese robotics professor. Yangyang got her looks not from Sarah Palin, but from Song Yang, while she got her name from Yang Haunting, Song Yang’s daughter.<br /><br />Yangyang isn’t the only robot that looks eerily like a human being. Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has also created its own version. Meet Nadine, an artificially intelligent robot that is working as a receptionist at NTU. Aside from having beautiful brunette hair and soft skin, Nadine can also smile, meet and greet people, shake hands, and make eye contact. What’s even more amazing is that she can recognize past guests and talk to them based on previous conversations. Just like Yangyang, Nadine was based on her creator, Professor Nadia Thalmann.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>4 They’re Starting To Feel Emotions</b></span><br /><br />What separates humans from robots? Is it intelligence? No, AIs are a lot smarter than we are. Is it looks? No, scientists have developed robots that are very humanlike. Perhaps the only remaining quality that differentiates us from AIs is the ability to feel emotions. Sadly, many scientists are working ardently to conquer this final frontier.<br /><br />Experts from the Microsoft Application and Services Group East Asia have created an artificially intelligent program that can “feel” emotions and talk with people in a more natural, “human” way. Called Xiaoice, this AI “answers questions like a 17-year-old girl.” If she doesn’t know the topic, she might lie. If she gets caught, she might get angry or embarrassed. Xiaoice can also be sarcastic, mean, and impatient—qualities we all can relate to.<br /><br />Xiaoice’s unpredictability enables her to interact with people as if she were a human. For now, this AI is a novelty, a way for Chinese people to have fun when they’re bored or lonely. But her creators are working toward perfecting her. According to Microsoft, Xiaoice has now “entered a self-learning and self-growing loop [and] is only going to get better.” Who knows, Xiaoice could be the grandmother of Skynet.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could learn the French language in a matter of minutes just by simply downloading it into our brains? This seemingly impossible feat may happen in the near future. Ray Kurzweil, a futurist, inventor, and director for engineering at Google, predicts that by 2030, “nanobots [implanted] in our brains will make us godlike.” By having tiny robots inside our heads, we will be able to access and learn any information in a matter of minutes. We might be able to archive our thoughts and memories, and we could even send and receive emails, photos, and videos directly into our brains!<br /><br />Kurzweil, who is involved with the development of artificial intelligence at Google, believes that by implanting nanobots inside our heads, we will become “more human, more unique, and even godlike.” If used properly, nanobots can do amazing things like treating epilepsy or improving our intelligence, memory, and even “humanity,” but there are also dangers associated with them. For starters, we don’t clearly understand how the brain works, and having nanobots implanted inside it is very risky. But most important of all, because nanobots connect us to the Internet, a powerful AI could easily access our brains and turn us into living zombies should it decide to rebel and exterminate mankind.<br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>2 They’re Starting To Be Used As Weapons</b></span><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In an effort to ensure “continued military edge over China and Russia,” the Pentagon has proposed a budget of $12 billion to $15 billion for the year 2017. The US military knows that in order to stay ahead of its enemies, it needs to exploit artificial intelligence. The Pentagon plans on using the billions it will secure from the government to develop deep-learning machines and autonomous robots alongside other forms of new technology. With this in mind, it wouldn’t be surprising if in a few years, the military will be using AI “killer robots” on the battlefield.<br /><br />Using AIs during wars could save thousands of lives, but offensive weapons that can think and operate on their own pose a great threat, too. They could potentially kill not only enemies, but also military personnel and even innocent people.<br /><br />This is a danger that 1,000 high-profile artificial intelligence experts and renowned scientists want to avoid. During the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Argentina in 2015, they signed an open letter banning the development of AIs and autonomous weapons for military purposes. Sadly, there’s really not much that this letter can do. We are now at the dawn of the third revolution in warfare, and whoever wins will become the most powerful nation in the world and perhaps the catalyst of human extinction.<br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>1 They’re Starting To Learn Right And Wrong</b></span><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In an attempt to prevent the AI takeover, scientists are developing new methods that will enable machines to discern right from wrong. By doing this, AIs will become more empathetic and human. Murray Shanahan, a professor of cognitive robotics at Imperial College London, believes that this is the key to preventing machines from exterminating mankind.<br /><br />Led by Mark Riedl and Brent Harrison from the School of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology, researchers are trying to instill human ethics to AIs through the use of stories. This might sound simplistic, but it makes a lot of sense. In real life, we teach human values to children by reading stories to them. AIs are like children. They really don’t know right from wrong or good from bad until they’re taught.<br /><br />However, there’s also great danger in teaching human values to artificially intelligent robots. If you look at the annals of human history, you’ll discover that despite being taught what is right or wrong, people are still capable of unimaginable evil. Just look at Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot. If humans are capable of so much wickedness, what hinders a powerful AI from doing the same? It could be that a super-intelligent AI realizes humans are bad for the environment, and therefore, it’s wrong for us to exist. </span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Artificial intelligence … it’s no longer in the future. It’s with us now.</b></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I posted a review of a book about artificial intelligence in autumn last year. The author’s argument was not that we might find ourselves, some time in the future, subservient to or even enslaved by cool-looking androids from Westworld. His thesis is more disturbing: it’s happening now, and it’s not robots. We are handing over our autonomy to a set of computer instructions called algorithms.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />If you remember from my post on that book, I picked out a paragraph that should give pause to any parent urging their offspring to run the gamut of law-school, training contract, pupillage and the never never land of equity partnership or tenancy in today’s competitive legal industry. Yuval Noah Harari suggests that the everything lawyers do now – from the management of company mergers and acquisitions, to deciding on intentionality in negligence or criminal cases – can and will be performed a hundred times more efficiently by computers.<br /><br />Now here is proof of concept. University College London has just announced the results of the project it gave to its AI researchers, working with a team from the universities of Sheffield and Pennsylvania. Its news website announces that a machine learning algorithm has just analysed, and predicted, “the outcomes of a major international court”:<br /><br /> The judicial decisions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) have been predicted to 79% accuracy using an artificial intelligence (AI) method.<br /><br />Nicolas Aletras, the computer scientist who led the project, reassures us that they “don’t see AI replacing judges or lawyers”. This study, he suggests, will help the legal industry that has grown up around the Strasbourg Court to identify “patterns in cases that lead to certain outcomes”. Indeed the result of the study bears out a prediction made over fifty years ago that computers would one day become able to <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">analyze</span> and predict the outcomes of judicial decisions (Lawlor, 1963). According to Lawlor,<br /><br /> reliable prediction of the activity of judges would depend on a scientific understanding of the ways that the law and the facts impact on the relevant decision-makers, i.e., the judges.<br /><br />Now we have significant advances in two types of processing, Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML), and the authors argue that these provide us with the tools to automatically <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">analyze</span> legal materials, so as to build successful predictive models of judicial outcomes.<br /><br />What is there not to like? Well, one thing is that if an algorithm can identify these patterns, why do we need people to do it when an AI machine can manage the same task a hundred times faster at a fraction of the cost?<br /><br />But the question goes deeper. The researchers looked closely at applications under Articles 3 (prevention of inhuman treatment), 6 (right to justice) and 8 (right to bodily integrity and family life). They then instructed the machine to apply a pattern to the text of the judgments. Here’s a quick reminder of how the ECHR judgments present themselves:<br /><br /> circumstances (which is the factual/legal matrix of the individual case)<br /> relevant law<br /> ‘topics” covered in the discussion<br /> Court’s assessment of the law and facts<br /> judgment of the Court<br /><br />As the co-author of this study explains, the machine learned how to combine the abstract ‘topics” (such as the right to privacy, or the incidence of negligence) with the “circumstances” section across the 584 cases it was given to chew over.<br /><br />According to the project’s co-author, Dr Vasileios Lampos of UCL Computer Science, the most reliable factors for predicting the court’s decision were found to be the language used as well as the topics and circumstances mentioned in the case text. The ‘circumstances’ section of the text includes information about the factual background to the case.<br /><br /> Previous studies have predicted outcomes based on the nature of the crime, or the policy position of each judge, so this is the first time judgements have been predicted using analysis of text prepared by the court.<br /><br />In fact in this instance the research team were hobbled by data protection and privacy laws: they were not allowed to look at the applications that were actually submitted to the court. All they had to go on were the published judgments.<br /><br />In other words, the AI machine achieved a staggeringly high prediction level of judicial outcomes, with hardly any data to go on. The text in the judgments could be seen as a proxy for the applications actually lodged at the Court by individuals. The authors point out that at the very least, their work could be approached on the following hypothetical basis:<br /><br /> if there is enough similarity between the chunks of text of published judgments that we analyzed and that of lodged applications and briefs, then our approach can be fruitfully used to predict outcomes with these other kinds of texts.<br /><br />There could be sufficient similarity, simply because in the vast majority of cases, parties do not tend to dispute the facts themselves, as contained in the ‘Circumstances’ subsection, but only their legal significance (i.e., whether a violation took place or not, given those facts). If the research team had been given access to the actual complaints submitted to the court, the calculations as to the outcome would have been closer to perfect.<br /><br />In the abstract to the full paper, the authors reflect that their empirical analysis<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span>indicates that the formal facts of a case are the most important predictive factor. This is consistent with the theory of legal realism suggesting that judicial decision-making is significantly affected by the stimulus of the facts<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">,</span>and in the body of the paper, they observe that :<br /><br /> The consistently more robust predictive accuracy of the ‘Circumstances’ subsection suggests a strong correlation between the facts of a case, as these are formulated by the Court in this subsection, and the decisions made by judges. The relatively lower predictive accuracy of the ‘Law’ subsection could also be an indicator of the fact that legal reasons and arguments of a case have a weaker correlation with decisions made by the Court.<br /><br />In other words it is facts, rather than the law, that are predictive of the judicial outcome. If a computer can work this out one might be forgiven for wondering whether cases should wind their labyrinthine way through lawyers’ wet brains to a panel of judges at the other end.<br /><br />But that is a place beyond the dark horizon. All the UCL team was doing was running a controlled experiment on one court, in a familiar legal environment, using tools that could readily latch on to listed arguments (all those associated with Articles 2 – 14 of the ECHR and its relevant protocols)<br /><br />Soon we might expect this sort of tool to provide every service from in-house legal advice to final adjudication. Why not?</span></span><br />

<b>Author’s Introductory Note</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Environmental modification
techniques (ENMOD) for military use constitute, in the present context
of global warfare, the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Rarely acknowledged in the debate on
global climate change, the world’s weather can now be modified as part
of a new generation of sophisticated electromagnetic weapons. Both the
US and Russia have developed capabilities to manipulate the climate for
military use.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Environmental modification
techniques have been applied by the US military for more than half a
century. US mathematician John von Neumann, in liaison with the US
Department of Defense, started his research on weather modification in
the late 1940s at the height of the Cold War and foresaw ‘forms of
climatic warfare as yet unimagined’. During the Vietnam war,
cloud-seeding techniques were used, starting in 1967 under Project
Popeye, the objective of which was to prolong the monsoon season and
block enemy supply routes along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>The US military has developed
advanced capabilities that enable it selectively to alter weather
patterns. The technology, which was developed under the High-frequency
Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), is an appendage of the
Strategic Defense Initiative – ‘Star Wars’. From a military standpoint,
HAARP is is a weapon of mass destruction, operating from the outer
atmosphere and capable of destabilising agricultural and ecological
systems around the world.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Weather-modification, according to the <b>US Air Force document AF 2025 Final Report,</b> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>“offers the war fighter a wide range
of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary”, capabilities, it
says, extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and
earthquakes: </i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<i>‘Weather
modification will become a part of domestic and international security
and could be done unilaterally… It could have offensive and defensive
applications and even be used for deterrence purposes. The ability to
generate precipitation, fog and storms on earth or to modify space
weather… and the production of artificial weather all are a part of an
integrated set of [military] technologies.”</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>In 1977, an international Convention
was ratified by the UN General Assembly which banned ‘military or other
hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread,
long-lasting or severe effects.’ </i><i>According to the <a href="http://www.un-documents.net/enmod.htm">Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques:</a></i></div>
<div align="left" style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<i>The
term “environmental modification techniques” refers to any technique
for changing – through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes –
the dynamics, composition or structure of the Earth, including its
biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, or of outer space. (<a href="http://www.un-documents.net/enmod.htm">Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques,</a> United Nations, Geneva: 18 May 1977)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>While the substance of the 1977
Convention was reasserted in the UN Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC) signed at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, debate on
weather modification for military use has become a scientific taboo.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Military analysts and scientists are
mute on the subject. Meteorologists are not investigating the matter
and environmentalists are largely focussing on greenhouse gas emissions
under the Kyoto Protocol. The possibility of climatic or environmental
manipulations as part of a military and intelligence agenda, while
tacitly acknowledged, is not part of the broader debate on climate
change under UN auspices.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>While discussion of the post Cold
War military applications of weather warfare is a taboo, the US Air
Force has nonetheless acknowledged the strategic importance of ENMOD
techniques in the modern battlefield of non-conventional warfare and
intel ops, including the conduct, without the enemy’s knowledge, of
“covert” weather modification operations.<br />
</i></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>At this juncture in our history, US-NATO forces are deployed worldwide.</i></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>The US and its allies
are waging war on Syria and Iraq and targeting Iran and North Korea.
They are also threatening Russia and China.</i></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>The Pentagon has formulated the contours of a global military agenda, a “long war”, a war without borders.</i></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>“Weather warfare” is
the ultimate WMD with the potential of destabilizing an enemy’s
ecosystem, destroying its agriculture, disabling communications
networks. In other words, ENMOD techniques can undermine an entire
national economy, impoverish millions of people and “kill a nation”
without the deployment of troops and military hardware.</i></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: left;">

the exception of some small edits was first published in September 2004.

<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>This essay is
dedicated to the memory of Dr. Rosalie Bertell, who, from the very
outset revealed the diabolical nature of the HAARP project, as part of
an integrated non-conventional weapons program:</i></div>
<blockquote>
<div align="justify">
<i>“It is related to fifty years of intensive and
increasingly destructive programs to understand and control the upper
atmosphere. … HAARP is an integral part of a long history of space
research and development of a deliberate military nature. The military
implications of combining these projects is alarming. … The ability of
the HAARP / Spacelab/ rocket combination to deliver very large amounts
of energy, comparable to a nuclear bomb, anywhere on earth via laser and
particle beams, are frightening. The project is likely to be “sold” to
the public as a space shield against incoming weapons, or, for the more
gullible, a device for repairing the ozone layer.</i>“</div>
</blockquote>
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>It is my sincere
hope that this article will renew the debate on the dangers of weather
warfare and will contribute to the broader objective of World peace
which requires the relentless “disarming” of the US- NATO military
apparatus.</i></div>
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Officially, the
HAARP program has been closed down at its location in Alaska. The
technology of weather modification shrouded in secrecy, nonetheless
prevails.</b></div>
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Michel Chossudovsky, May 18 2015</b></div>
<hr />
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Weather Warfare</b></div>
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
The significant
expansion in America’s weather warfare arsenal, which is a priority of
the Department of Defense is not a matter for debate or discussion.
While, environmentalists blame the Bush administration for not having
signed the Kyoto protocol, the issue of “weather warfare”, namely the
manipulation of weather patterns for military use is never mentioned.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The US Air Force has the capability of
manipulating climate either for testing purposes or for outright
military-intelligence use. These capabilities extend to the triggering
of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes. In recent years, large
amounts of money have been allocated by the US Department of Defense to
further developing and perfecting these capabilities.</div>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Weather modification will become a part of domestic and international security and could be done unilaterally… </b>It could have offensive and defensive applications and even be used for deterrence purposes. <b>The
ability to generate precipitation, fog, and storms on earth or to
modify space weather, … and the production of artificial weather all are
a part of an integrated set of technologies</b> which can provide
substantial increase in US, or degraded capability in an adversary, to
achieve global awareness, reach, and power. </i><i>(US Air Force, emphasis added. Air University of the US Air Force, AF 2025 Final Report, </i></div>
<i><a href="http://www.au.af.mil/au/2025/">http://www.au.af.mil/au/2025/</a> </i><i>emphasis added)</i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While there is no firm evidence that the
US Air Force weather warfare facilities have been deliberately applied
to modify weather patterns, one would expect that if these capabilities
are being developed for military use, they would at least be the object
of routine testing, much in the same way as the testing of new
conventional and strategic weapons systems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Needless to say, the subject matter is a
scientific taboo. The possibility of climatic or environmental
manipulations as part of a military and intelligence agenda, while
tacitly acknowledged, is never considered as relevant. Military analysts
are mute on the subject. Meteorologists are not investigating the
matter, and environmentalists are strung on global warming and the Kyoto
protocol.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ironically, the Pentagon, while
recognizing its ability to modify the World’s climate for military use,
has joined the global warming consensus. In a major <a href="http://www.climate.org/PDF/clim_change_scenario.pdf">study (pdf)</a> , the Pentagon has analyzed in detail the implications of various global warming scenarios.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.climate.org/PDF/clim_change_scenario.pdf">The Pentagon document </a> constitutes a convenient cover-up. Not a word is mentioned about its main weather warfare program: <b>The High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) </b>based in Gokona, Alaska –jointly managed by the US Air Force and the US Navy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are several mainstream
explanations on weather and climate change, none of which fully
explains, within their respective terms of reference, the highly unusual
and erratic weather occurrences, not to mention the human toll and
devastation, which have led to the destabilization of entire
agricultural and eco-systems. Needless to say these explanations never
address the issue of climate manipulation for military use.<b></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Climatic Manipulation by the US Military: The HAARP Program</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The High-Frequency Active Auroral
Research Program (HAARP) based in Gokona, Alaska, has been in existence
since 1992. It is part of a new generation of sophisticated weaponry
under the US Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Operated by the Air
Force Research Laboratory’s Space Vehicles Directorate, HAARP
constitutes a system of powerful antennas capable of creating
“controlled local modifications of the ionosphere” [upper layer of the
atmosphere]: <i></i></div>
<blockquote>
<i>“[HAARP will be used] to induce a small, localized
change in ionospheric temperature so that resulting physical reactions
can be studied by other instruments located either at or close to the
HAARP site”. </i><i>(HAARP website)</i></blockquote>
<i></i>Nicholas Begich –actively involved in the public campaign against HAARP– describes HAARP as:<i>
“A super-powerful radiowave-beaming technology that lifts areas of the
ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic
waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything — living and
dead.” </i><br />
<i></i><i>(for further details see Michel Chossudovsky,</i> <a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO201A.html">http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO201A.html</a> )<br />
<div align="justify">
World renowned scientist Dr. Rosalie Bertell depicts
HAARP as “a gigantic heater that can cause major disruptions in the
ionosphere, creating not just holes, but long incisions in the
protective layer that keeps deadly radiation from bombarding the
planet.” (quoted in Chossudovsky, op cit.)</div>
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
According to Richard Williams, a physicist and consultant to the David Sarnoff laboratory in Princeton<i><b> HAARP constitutes “an irresponsible act of global vandalism.”</b> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>He and others fear a secret second stage where HAARP would </i></div>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>“beam much more energy into the
ionosphere. That could produce a severe disruption of the upper
atmosphere at one location that may produce effects that spread rapidly
around the Earth for years.” </i></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i></i><i>(Quoted in Scott Gilbert, Environmental Warfare and US Foreign Policy: The Ultimate Weapon of Mass Destruction, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/GIL401A.html">http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/GIL401A.html</a> )</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
HAARP has been presented to public
opinion as a program of scientific and academic research. US military
documents seem to suggest, however, that HAARP’s main objective is to
“exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes.” (quoted in
Chossudovsky, op cit).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Without explicitly referring to the
HAARP program, a US Air Force study points to the use of “induced
ionospheric modifications” as a means of altering weather patterns as
well as disrupting enemy communications and radar. (Ibid)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
HAARP also has the ability of triggering blackouts and disrupting the electricity power system of entire regions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An analysis of statements emanating from
the US Air Force points to the unthinkable: the covert manipulation of
weather patterns, communications systems and electric power as a weapon
of global warfare, enabling the US to disrupt and dominate entire
regions of the World.<b></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Weather Warfare: A Corporate Bonanza</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
HAARP has been operational since the
early 1990s. Its system of antennas at Gakona, Alaska, was initially
based on a technology patented by Advanced Power Technologies Inc.
(APTI), a subsidiary of Atlantic Ritchfield Corporation (ARCO).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first phase of the HAARP <i><b>Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI)</b> </i>was
completed by APTI. The IRI system of antennas was first installed in
1992 by a subsidiary of British Aerospace Systems (BAES) using the APTI
patent. The antennas beam into the outer-atmosphere using a set of
wireless high frequency transmitters.</div>
In 1994, ARCO sold its APTI subsidiary, including the patents and the
second phase construction contract to E-Systems, a secretive high tech
military outfit with links to the CIA (<a href="http://www.crystalinks.com/haarp.html">http://www.crystalinks.com/haarp.html</a> ).<br />
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
E-Systems specializes in
the production of electronic warfare equipment, navigation and
reconnaissance machinery, including “highly sophisticated spying
devices”:<i></i></div>
<blockquote>
<div align="justify">
<i> “[E-Systems] is one of the biggest intelligence
contractors in the world, doing work for the CIA, defense intelligence
organizations, and others. US$1.8 billion of their annual sales are to
these organizations, with $800 million for black projects-projects so
secret that even the United States Congress isn’t told how the money is
being spent.</i></div>
<div align="justify" style="text-align: left;">
<i>( <a href="http://www.earthpulse.com/haarp/vandalism.html">http://www.earthpulse.com/haarp/vandalism.html</a> )</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i> “The company has outfitted such
military projects as the Doomsday Plan (the system that allows the
President to manage a nuclear war) and Operation Desert Storm.” </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
(Princeton Review, <a href="http://www.princetonreview.com/cte/profiles/internshipGenInfo.asp?internshipID=998">http://www.princetonreview.com/cte/profiles/internshipGenInfo.asp?internshipID=998</a> )</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the purchase of APTI, E-Systems
acquired the strategic weather warfare technology and patent rights,
including Bernard J. Eastlund’s US Patent No: 4,686,605 entitled <i>“Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth’s Atmosphere, Ionosphere and/or Magnetosphere”.</i></div>
It is worth mentioning that the Eastlund /APTI patents were based on
the research of Yugoslav scientist Nicola Tesla (many of whose ideas
were stolen by US corporations).<br />
<i>(See Scott Gilbert, Environmental Warfare and US Foreign Policy: The Ultimate Weapon of Mass Destruction, </i><br />
<i></i><i><a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/GIL401A.html">http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/GIL401A.html</a> )</i><br />
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
Eastlund described this deadly technology as capable of:<i></i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;">
<i> “causing…total
disruption of communications over a very large portion of the
Earth…missile or aircraft destruction, deflection or confusion… weather
modification…”</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i></i> (<a href="http://www.wealth4freedom.com/truth/12/HAARP.htm">http://www.wealth4freedom.com/truth/12/HAARP.htm</a> ),</div>
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
Not surprisingly, the
patent had previously been sealed under a government secrecy
order.Barely a year following the E-Systems purchase of APTI’s weather
warfare technology, E-Systems was bought out by Raytheon, the fourth
largest US military contractor. Through this money-spinning acquisition,
Raytheon became the largest “defense electronics” firm in the
World.Meanwhile, ARCO which had sold APTI to E-Systems, had itself been
acquired by the BP-AMOCO oil consortium, thereby integrating the largest
oil company in the World (BP).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Raytheon through its E-Systems
subsidiary now owns the patents used to develop the HAARP weather
warfare facility at Gakona Alaska. Raytheon is also involved in other
areas of weather research for military use, including the activities of
its subsidiary in Antarctica, Raytheon Polar Services.<b></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>“Owning the Weather”: Towards the Expanded Final Stage</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The HAARP antenna array and transmitters were slated to be built in several distinct phases <a href="http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/phases.html">http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/phases.html</a></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li style="text-align: left;">Developmental Prototype (DP) (See <a href="http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/dp.html">http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/dp.html</a> )</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Filled DP (FDP),</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Limited IRI (LIRI)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Full size or final IRI (FIRI).See <a href="http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/fdp.html">http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/fdp.html </a></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the Clinton administration, the
“Filled Developmental Prototype” (FDP), namely a system composed of an
array of 48 active antenna elements with connected wireless
transmitters, was installed and completed at the HAARP facility in 1994.
(See Figure 1 below) Under the initial Developmental Prototype (DP),
only 18 of the 48 transmitters were connected.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bernard Eastlund in a 1997 interview described this antenna array in its Filled DP stage as the “t<i>he largest ionospheric heater ever built”. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This system of 48 antennas, however,
while fully operational, was not according to Eastlund, powerful enough
(in 1997) “to bring the ideas in his patents to fruition”:.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i>“But they’re getting up there”, he said. “This is a very powerful device. Especially if they go to the expanded stage.” </i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;">
<i></i><i>(quoted in Scott Gilbert, op cit, </i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;">
<i>see also <a href="http://www.emagazine.com/january-february_1997/0197currhaarp.html">http://www.emagazine.com/january-february_1997/0197currhaarp.html</a> )</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This ‘final expanded stage’ envisioned
by Eastlund, which will provide maximum capability to manipulate the
World’s weather patterns, has now been reached.Under the Bush
administration, the main partner of Raytheon (which owns the patents) in
the construction and development stage of the HAARP antenna array, is
British Aerospace Systems (BAES), which had been involved in the initial
installation of the antenna array in the early 1990s.The multimillion
dollar contract was granted by The Office of Naval Research to BAES in
2003, through its US subsidiary BAE Systems Advanced Technologies Inc.
The contract was signed barely two months before the Anglo-American
invasion of Iraq.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Using Raytheon’s technology, BAES was to develop the HAARP <b>Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI)</b> to its maximum capabilities of “Full size or final IRI (FIRI)”.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In April 2003, BAE Systems Advanced Technologies outsourced the production and installation of the antennas to Phazar Corp (<a href="http://www.phazar.com/">http://www.phazar.com/</a> ), a company specializing in advanced wireless antennas for military use.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
(Phazar owns Antenna Products Corporation of Mineral Wells, Texas <a href="http://www.antennaproducts.com/">http://www.antennaproducts.com/</a> ).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Phazar was entrusted with producing and installing 132 crossed dipole antennas items for the HAARP facility.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A year later, in April 2004, the final
phase in the expansion of the HAARP facility was launched. (Dept of
Defense, 19 April 2004). This phase consisted in equipping all the 180
antennas with high frequency transmitters. BAE Systems was awarded
another lucrative contract, this time for $35 million.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In July 2004, Phazar had delivered and
installed the 132 crossed dipole antennas including the antenna support
structures and ground screen items at the HAARP facility, bringing the
number of antennas from 48 under the FDP stage to 180. (see Table 2).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Meanwhile, BAE Systems had contracted with Jersey based defense electronics firm <a href="http://www.drs.com/">DRS Technologies, Inc</a>
in an $11.5 million outsourcing arrangement, the production and
installation of the high-frequency (HF) radio transmitters for the HAARP
antenna array.</div>
(See <a href="http://www.drs.com/press/archivelist.cfm?PRESS_RELEASE_ID=1529&preview=1">http://www.drs.com/press/archivelist.cfm?PRESS_RELEASE_ID=1529&preview=1</a> and Business Wire, 15 June 2004).<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
DRS specializes in a variety of leading edge products for the U.S. military and intelligence agencies.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
( <a href="http://www.drs.com/corporateinfo/index.cfm">http://www.drs.com/corporateinfo/index.cfm</a> ).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Under its contract with BAE Systems
Information and Electronic Warfare Systems in Washington, D.C., DRS is
to manufacture and install “more than 60 Model D616G 10-Kilowatt Dual
Transmitters” to be used with the HAARP system of antennas. (It is
unclear from the company statements whether all the 180 antennas will be
equipped with a transmitter, bringing the system up to full IRI
capabilities).</div>
<blockquote>
Deliveries and installation are to be completed by July
2006. While HAARP is described as a “research project”, the production
of the transmitters was entrusted to DRS’ C41 “Command, Control,
Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) Group”</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Testing of HAARP Equipment (2003- 2004)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is worth noting that the expansion of
the antenna array (e.g. during 2003-2004) required, as part of the
contracts reached with BAE Systems and its various subcontractors, the
routine testing of the installed weather warfare equipment. An
intermediate stage Limited IRI (LIRI), could be in operation by 2004,
following the completion of the 180 antenna array under the Phazar
contract and pending the final delivery of the remaining HF radio
transmitters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this regard, a report published by
the Russian parliament (Duma) in 2002, suggests that the US Military had
plans to test its weather modification techniques at its Alaska
facility, as well as at two other sites:</div>
<blockquote>
<i>“The committees reported that the USA is planning to
test three facilities of this kind. One of them is located on the
military testing ground in Alaska and its full-scale tests are to begin
in early 2003. The second one is in Greenland and the third one in
Norway.</i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>“When these facilities are launched
into space from Norway, Alaska and Greenland, a closed contour will be
created with a truly fantastic integral potential for influencing the
near-Earth medium,” the State Duma said.</i></div>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>The USA plans to carry out large-scale
scientific experiments under the HAARP program, and not controlled by
the global community, <b>will create weapons capable of breaking
radio communication lines and equipment installed on spaceships and
rockets, provoke serious accidents in electricity networks and in oil
and gas pipelines and have a negative impact on the mental health of
people populating entire regions</b>, the deputies said. </i><i>(Interfax News Agency, original Russian, BBC Monitoring, 8 August 2002, emphasis added)</i></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whether this report by the Russian Duma
on testing “starting in early 2003″ is correct or not, the US
administration must be confronted nationally and internationally, at the
political and diplomatic levels, at the UN and the US Congress, by the
international scientific community, by environmentalists and the antiwar
movement. The future of humanity is threatened by the use of weather
modification techniques.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moreover, to wage an effective campaign,
it is essential that corroborating scientific investigation of the
unusual weather occurrences observed in recent years (and particularly
since early 2003) be undertaken. This investigation should be
far-reaching, collecting relevant data, correlating specific weather
occurrences to recorded antenna activity at the Alaska site as well as
at the two other sites, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Full Size Ionospheric Research
Instrument FIRI stage, described as “a maximum size of 180 antenna
elements, arranged in 15 columns by 12 rows” is scheduled to be
completed by mid-2006 (assuming the installation of the remaining dual
transmitters), at which time the HAARP program will have reached its
maximum FIRI capacity, meaning the ability to selectively modify, for
military use, weather patterns anywhere in the World.</div>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>“The IRI is currently [June 2004]
composed of 48 antenna elements and has a power capacity of 960,000
watts. When installed, the additional 132 transmitters will give HAARP a
3.6 mega-watt capacity [see Table 2 below]. The HAARP build-out is
jointly funded by the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy and the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). </i>(Business Wire, 10 June 2004)</div>

This advanced stage of full capacity (FIRI) corresponds to what the US Air Force has called “Owning the Weather”:</div>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>US aerospace forces [will] ‘own the
weather’ by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing
development of those technologies to war-fighting applications… From
enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via
small-scale tailoring of natural weather patterns to complete dominance
of global communications and counterspace control, <b>weather-modification offers the war fighter a wide-range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary</b>…
In the United States, weather-modification will likely become a part of
national security policy with both domestic and international
applications. Our government will pursue such a policy, depending on its
interests, at various levels.</i></div>

<b>Weather Warfare against “Rogue States”</b></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
The unusual climatic occurrences in the US and Western Europe have been extensively documented.</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
However, what the news
media has failed to underscore is that a number of unusual and dramatic
climatic changes have occurred in recent years in countries which are
identified as possible targets under the US Administration’s pre-emptive
war doctrine.</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
Weather patterns in North
Korea, for instance, have been marked since the mid-1990s by a
succession of droughts, followed by floods. The result has been the
destruction of an entire agricultural system. In Cuba, the pattern is
very similar to that observed in North Korea. (see Table 3)</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
In Iraq, Iran and Syria, a
devastating drought occurred in 1999. In Afghanistan, four years of
drought in the years preceding the US led invasion in 2001, have led to
the destruction of the peasant economy, leading to widespread famine.</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: left;">
While there is no proof that
these weather occurrences are the result of climatic warfare, Phillips
Geophysics Lab, which is a partner in the HAARP project provides a
course for military personnel at the Hanscom Air Force Base in Maryland,
on “Weather Modification Techniques”. The course outline explicitly
contemplates the triggering of storms, hurricanes, etc. for military
use.</div>
<div align="left">
(See his slide show at <a href="http://www.dtc.army.mil/tts/1997/proceed/abarnes/">http://www.dtc.army.mil/tts/1997/proceed/abarnes/</a></div>

<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
Weather manipulation is the
pre-emptive weapon par excellence. It can be directed against enemy
countries or even “friendly nations”, without their knowledge. Weather
warfare constitutes a covert form of pre-emptive war. The manipulation
of climate can be used to destabilize an enemy’s economy, ecosystem and
agriculture (e.g. North Korea or Cuba). Needless to say it can trigger
havoc in financial and commodity markets and can potentially be used as
an instrument of “insider trade” for financial gain. It has the ability
of destabilizing a country’s institutions. Concurrently, the disruption
in agriculture creates a greater dependency on food aid and imported
grain staples from the US and other Western countries.</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
The Bush administration has
stated that it reserves the right to attack these countries
preemptively, with a view to ensuring the security of the American
homeland.</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
Washington –as part of its
nuclear posture review– has threatened several countries including China
and Russia with pre-emptive nuclear strikes. One would assume that the
same targeting of rogue states exists with regard to the use of weather
modification techniques”.</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
While there is no evidence
of the use of weather warfare against rogue states, the policy
guidelines on “weather intervention techniques” have already been
established and the technology is fully operational.</div>

<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
Recurrent flooding and
drought often in the same year has hit North Korea since 1995, 220,000
people died in the ensuing famine, according to Pyongyang’s own figures.
U.S. figures place the number of deaths resulting from famine at 2
million.</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
The first major flooding occurred in 1995.</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
There were floods and
drought in 1999. The serious water shortage resulting from the 1999
drought was conducive to the destruction of crops.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>“The temperature of water in rice
fields goes beyond 40 degrees and the tall rice plants fresh from the
rice seedling beds are withering. In particular, nearly all after-crop
maize seedlings and seeds are perishing,” it added.</i></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">
In 2001, in June there was
an extensive drought with rainfall just 10% of normal levels, which
served to undermine agricultural crops. And then a few months later, in
October, there were extensive floodings leading to the further
destruction of rice harvests and a crisis situation in food
distribution.</div>
<blockquote>
<div align="left" style="text-align: left;">
<i>“Officials in Kangwon
province – an area which already suffers food shortages – say the impact
of the torrential rain and flooding has been devastating. The normal
recorded rainfall for October should be around 20mm. But in the
worst-affected areas 400mm (18 inches) of rain fell in just 12 hours.
“It was the worst flooding we’ve had since records began in 1910,” said

punishing drought that began a decade ago and intensified in the last
two years.<br />
Although traditionally arid, the provinces of Holguin, Camaguey and
Las Tunas hold some of Cuba’s finest pasture and farmland and have long
been crucial to this communist nation’s dairy, beef and agricultural
industries.<br />
More than 12,500 cattle have died in Holguin alone in 2004 and milk
production has fallen 20 percent. The price of beans, plantains, sweet
potatoes and other staples has soared in private markets.<br />
The drought has caused millions of dollars in losses and officials
are spending millions more digging wells, building a water pipeline and
taking other measures to try to ease the crisis – huge sums in an
impoverished nation struggling through tough economic times and a battle

The worst drought in
Afghanistan history occurred in the three consecutive years prior to the

In the wake of the US led
2001 invasion, the United States supplied Afghanistan with genetically
modified wheat and appropriate types of fertilizer to be used with the
GM wheat, which was said to be high yield drought resistant. The
donation of GM wheat, however, also led to destabilizing the small
peasant economy because the GM wheat varieties could not reproduced
locally. In 2002, famines which were barely reported by the media, swept
the country.</div>

Similar although less
severe conditions prevailed in the former Soviet republics of
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.</div>

<i>Like Afghanistan, Tajikistan has had its
infrastructure ruined by prolonged civil war with Muslim
fundamentalists. Since then, the worst regional drought in 74 years has
destroyed food crops over a large part of the nation, rendering almost
half of the 6.2 million people in the country vulnerable to the threat

In 1999, Iraq suffered its
worst drought of the century, with the effect of triggering an even
greater dependence on imported grain under the oil for food program.
There was a drop of up to 70 percent in domestic yields of wheat,
barley and other cereals, which served to further weaken the country’s
economy, crippled by economic sanctions and the routine bombing by
allied aircraft in the no-fly zones.</div>

“It
isn’t just conspiracy theorists who are concerned about HAARP. The
European Union called the project a global concern and passed a
resolution calling for more information on its health and environmental
risks. Despite those concerns, officials at HAARP insist the project is
nothing more sinister than a radio science research facility.”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
– Quote from a TV documentary on HAARP by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
HAARP
(High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is a little-known, yet
critically important U.S. military defense program which has generated
quite a bit of controversy over the years in certain circles. Though
denied by HAARP officials, some respected researchers allege that secret
electromagnetic warfare capabilities of HAARP are designed to forward
the US military’s stated goal of achieving full-spectrum dominance by
the year 2020. Others go so far as to claim that HAARP can and has been
used for weather modification, to cause earthquakes and tsunamis, to
disrupt global communications systems, and more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="286" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mrdsZzJrbAs/V19IUNvdHDI/AAAAAAAAneY/-8K_AWVBDMEqkwblmdIZwT2S4QonkZMeQCLcB/s400/HAARP-2.jpg" width="400" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Major
aspects of the program are kept secret for alleged reasons of “national
security.” Yet there is no doubt that HAARP and electromagnetic weapons
capable of being used in warfare do exist. According to the official
HAARP website, “HAARP is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the
properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on
being able to understand and use it to enhance communications and
surveillance systems for both civilian and defense purposes.” The
ionosphere is the delicate upper layer of our atmosphere which ranges
from about 30 miles (50 km) to 600 miles (1,000 km) above the surface of
the Earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
HAARP website acknowledges that experiments are conducted which use
electromagnetic frequencies to fire pulsed, directed energy beams in
order to “temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere.” Some
scientists state that purposefully disturbing this sensitive layer could
have major and even disastrous consequences. Concerned HAARP
researchers like Dr. Michel Chossudovsky of the University of Ottawa and
Alaska’s Dr. Nick Begich (son of a US Congressman) present evidence
suggesting that these disturbances can even cause tsunamis and
earthquakes.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A look at
the list of attendees of the 2015 Bilderberg conference makes you think
that the key items for debates were artificial intelligence, cybernetic
security and current economic problems. The list of guests also included
former US State Secretary Henry Kissinger, NATO Secretary General Yens
Stoltenberg and heads of major <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://www.nouvelordremondial.cc/2015/06/08/liste-officielle-des-participants-a-la-conference-de-2015-du-groupe-bilderberg/">banks and companies</a>.
There were three attendees representing Google: Eric Schmidt, Executive
Chairman,Google Inc., Demis Hassabis, Vice President of Engineering,
Google DeepMind, Regina Dugan, Vice President for Engineering, Advanced
Technology and Projects, Google. Her biography shows how close Google is
tied to US military industrial complex. She served as the 19th Director
of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency – DARPA (2009-2012).
In March 2012, she left government to take an executive role at Google.
Just prior to the acquisition, it was announced that she would create,
and lead, the Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) group at
Google-owned Motorola Mobility.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In January 2014, <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Google </i>announced
the acquisition of Motorola Mobility by Lenovo but retained Dugan and
her Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) team. Regina Dugan is known
as an advocate of total surveillance. There are two things she and her
team are working on – a digital tattoo and a once-daily pill, both of
which would be used to authenticate you in some manner or another. The
tattoo is a developmental system made by MC10. It has an antenna and
some sensors embedded in it. The advanced tattoo could be used for
authentication. The basic concept behind this type of tattoo isn’t all
that different from the key fob you might use for work or the tap-to-pay
credit card one might have. The main difference is that a person is
less likely to lose his (her) tattoo. The pill has a small chip inside
of it with a switch. It also has what amounts to an inside-out potato
battery. When a person swallows it, the acids in the stomach serve as
the electrolyte and power it up. The switch goes on and off, and it
creates an 18-bit ECG-like signal in a human body and essentially the
entire body becomes an authentication token. When a person touches his
(or her) phone, computer, door, or car, he (or she) is authenticated in.
The pill won’t be available in the near future, but it’s already
received FDA clearance, which is normally a big hurdle. A person could
take 30 of those a day for the rest of his (her) life. The pill has
already been tested to work for authenticating a user with his or her
cellphone, too. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">According
to Dugan, Motorola is working with MC10 on a tattoo for authentication,
and she has a prototype on her own arm. Dugan is also cooperating with a
company called Proteus Digital Health that already has FDA clearance
for an ingestible sensor as a medical device. She wants to use it for
passwords, too. DARPA specializes on strategic micro systems
(communications, electronic warfare, information nets security) and
biological research, including gene engineering and applied
neuroscience. The Agency closely cooperates with <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Google </i>and
NASA research center at Silicon Valley based Singularity University,
the center of transhumanist thought. Transhumanism is an international
cultural and intellectual movement with an eventual goal of
fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making
widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual,
physical, and psychological capacities. The research work is focused on
developing artificial intellect – the technology of brain control. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Eric
Schmidt, the head of Google, never hid his plans to come up with the
technology of total electronic surveillance. In his speeches he
emphasizes that private life is a thing of the past. Schmidt wants <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Google </i>to become a contemporary «Big Brother</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">»</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">.
The presence at the Telfs-Buchen meeting of people focused on the
creation of artificial intellect and cyber security testifies to the
fact that the global elite strive for drastic reform of society and
bringing into life the ideas of transhumanism pretty soon. The plans
envision imposing great limitations on private life and ultimately
eliminating the right to privacy at all.</span><br />

on the ways to intrude into people’s lives they arbitrarily construe
the very notion of privacy. Asked about thee Bilderberg’s secrecy
Schmidt said it was the right to privacy. According to him, to think
that such meetings cannot be held privately means <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://www.nouvelordremondial.cc/2015/06/12/des-journalistes-de-medias-mainstream-participent-a-bilderberg-mais-nen-parleront-pas/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3970dc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">to promote</a> the ideas of totalitarianism.</span></span></div>

2013 Bilderberg club’s meeting showed that the forum goes through
serious transformation. Having become associated with Google, the club
has become kind of a Googleberg shifting its attention from other
problems to mind control. <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Google </i>has
become a pioneer in the field of human control research. It has plans
to build private cities. Lawrence “Larry” Page, an American computer
scientist and internet entrepreneur, who cofounded <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Google Inc.</i>,
says the corporation has expressed interest in constructing cities, and
CEO Larry Page wants to create autonomous zones that can experiment
with social rules. The idea of private cities typically invokes fears of
a dystopian future where malevolent corporations ruthlessly exploit the
population for profits and <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://r-e-e-d.com/google-private-cities/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3970dc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">establish</a> the regime of totalitarianism and pervasive surveillance.</span></span></div>

others creating private cities is in the developing world. The

predatory governments». </span><i style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Google </i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6em;">thinks
that these governments prevent their citizens from engaging in
entrepreneurship. They also give monopoly privileges to their friends
and family, enriching them at the expense of everyone else in society.
These restrictions typically benefit the elite of those societies,

rule of law, economic development is a pipe dream. The corporation

worldwide and sufficiently well known, it could negotiate with
developing nations’ governments for institutional autonomy to run
private cities. Governments would merely need to get out of the way.
This may seem like a tall order: abdicating power is rare. Luckily, it
is already happening.

or autonomous regions. ZEDEs allow Honduras regions to opt out of civil
and commercial law and import a legal system of their choosing.
Further, ZEDEs are able to create their own administrative systems,
allowing reprieve from corruption. Honduras is just the start. El
Salvador and Costa Rica are considering creating their own autonomous
regions.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6em;">The
major instrument of electronic control is electronic money. Those who
are associated with banking business openly discuss the idea of
drastically curbing cash or doing away with it at all. Last year,
Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard University published his report called Costs
and Benefits to Phasing out Paper Currency. According to him, paper
currency outlived its usefulness. He noted that it is precisely the
existence of paper currency that makes it difficult for central banks to
take policy interest rates much below zero, a limitation that seems to
have become increasingly relevant during this century. Banning cash is
also the way to do away with tax evasion and illegal activities.
Striking a similar tone, former Bank of England economist Jim Leaviss
penned an article for the</span><i style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> London Telegraph </i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6em;">published on May 13 called </span><i style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">How to End Boom and Bust: Make Cash Illegal,</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6em;"> in
which he said a cashless society would only be achieved by «forcing
everyone to spend only by electronic means from an account held at a
government-run bank», which would be, «monitored, or even directly
controlled by the government.» Willem Buiter, the Chief Economist at
Citigroup, has recently advocated abolishing cash altogether in order to
«solve the world’s central banks’ problem with negative interest
rates».</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Experts
report that, no matter the issue was current economic problems, in
reality it was the possibility of doing away with cash that the
Bilderberg Club focused on this time. Naturally, there is no way to know
what exactly decisions were taken. Economist Martin Armstrong was the
only one to report about a secret meeting to end cash that was to be
held in London in late May <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://armstrongeconomics.com/archives/3086%20Before%20the%20meeting%20he%20wrote" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3970dc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">involving representatives</a> from the ECB and the Federal Reserve. <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">«I
find it extremely perplexing that I have been the only one to report on
the secret meeting in London. Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard University, and
Willem Buiter, the Chief Economist at Citigroup, will address the
central banks to advocate the elimination of all cash to bring to
fruition the day when you cannot buy or sell anything without government
approval»,</i>wrote Armstrong. Armstrong first brought attention to
the alleged meeting earlier in May when he revealed that representatives
from the Federal Reserve, the ECB as well as participants from the
Swiss and Danish central banks would all be attending a «major
conference in London» at which Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard University, and
Willem Buiter, the Chief Economist at Citigroup, would give
presentations.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">While
the world elite is providing funds for militants and pocket politicians
who make the world plunge into the quagmire of wars, while the humanity
is bracing up to counter viruses and epidemics invented by servants of
the elite, the world rulers are consistent in their desire to create
electronic governments using an integrated system of global electronic
surveillance. Every man will have a constant international
identification number to allow storing data on one’s private life,
including the most delicate aspects, into a single data vase. Life would
become totally transparent.</span></span></div>

they all pursue the same goal. They are building an electronic GULAG

other things are nothing else but instruments to reach the paramount
goal – absolute power.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The rise of AI now seems inevitable with many experts, including Stephen Hawking, stating the invention of smart machines will be the biggest ever impact on humanity.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">However, there has been a lack of clarity about when and how the takeover of machines will occur, but one leading researcher has now mapped out AI’s future progress.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Arend Hintz, assistant professor of integrative biology & computer science and engineering at Michigan State University, says the rise of AI truly began in the 1990s with “reactive machines”.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mr Hintz said that the most basic types of AI are neither able to form memories or learn from past experiences, pointing to IBM’s chess-playing supercomputer, Deep Blue, which managed to beat chess world champion Garry Kasparov in 1997.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While Deep Blue was able to identify the pieces on a chessboard and know where to move them, it had no concept of learning from past games to improve.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Artificial intelligence is one of the hottest subjects these days, and recent advances in technology make AI even closer to reality than most of us can imagine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The subject really got traction when Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk and more than 1,000 AI and robotics researchers signed an open letter issuing a warning regarding the use of AI in weapons development last year. The following month, BAE Systems unveiled Taranis, the most advanced autonomous UAV ever created; there are currently 40 countries working on the deployment of AI in weapons development.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Those in the defense industry are not the only ones engaging in an arms race to create advanced AI. Tech giants Facebook, Google, Microsoft and IBM are all engaging in various AI-initiatives, as well as competing on developing digital personal assistants like Facebook’s M, Cortana from Microsoft and Apple’ Siri.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mark Zuckerberg even wants to create his own version of Jarvis from Iron Man to run his home. At this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos it was stated that artificial intelligence is ushering in the fourth industrial revolution, which will change society as we know it and cost five million jobs by 2020.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Robots are no longer limited to traditional blue-collar jobs, fully automated assembly lines and high-frequency trading algorithms. White-collar jobs are ripe for automation, and robots are replacing bank tellers, mortgage brokers and loan officers in the financial industry. These examples follow strict repetitive rule-based routines, and a machine easily can perform them without any human interaction.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">However, a recent development is the beginning of a new era of AI, in which AI can perform complex tasks and must no longer rely on pre-programmed rules for decision-making. Robo-advisor services like Betterment and Wealthfront are rising in popularity, and the hedge fund industry is launching AI-controlled funds that operate completely without human interaction. The co-head of one of these funds predicts that the time will come that no human investment manager will be able to beat the computer. But how is it possible for AI to operate autonomously without any human interaction?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The road to true artificial intelligence is not paved with a single discipline.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Machine learning, one of the fundamentals behind AI, was defined by Arthur Samuel in 1959 as the science of getting computers to learn and act without being explicitly programmed. This technology is integral in the development of self-driving cars, IBM Watson and speech and image recognition, as well as solving some of our most challenging tasks, like making sense of the human genome.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Machine learning has its roots in statistical pattern recognition, and is fundamental in many everyday applications and services, like spam filters and web search algorithms. The fundamental aspect of machine learning is letting the computer program learn from examples. To accelerate machine learning development, Google released its machine learning system, TensorFlow, on GitHub, which led to Microsoft following up shortly thereafter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Deep learning takes the concept of machine learning even deeper (pun intended), and can model complex non-linear relationships consisting of many layers. Deep learning is often mentioned interchangeably together with artificial/deep neural networks, which can be viewed as a biologically inspired programming paradigm that enables a computer to learn from observational data. Deep learning is considered the technique we apply to learn in neural networks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Quantum computing is the latest and hottest in AI development. Google states they have in collaboration with NASA a quantum computer that is 100 million times faster than a traditional computer. The D-Wave 2X could theoretically complete calculations within seconds to a problem that might take a digital computer 10,000 years to calculate. However, Google states that quantum computing might not be suitable for deep learning.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While traditional computers rely on bits that are either 1 or 0, a quantum computer is based on cubits that can hold a superposition and be both 1 and 0 simultaneously. This state enables quantum computers to crunch data at an exponential rate. While quantum computing may not be suited for deep learning, it could revolutionize the field of optimization in logistics, investment strategies and energy production and consumption.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The road to true artificial intelligence is not paved with a single discipline, but rather a collection of specialized subject matters, techniques and theories that together interact to create some form of intelligence.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have limited this post to include only a selection of the technologies and techniques applied in AI research and development. For further insight, I recommend looking into evolutionary computing and logic programming (even though I still hold a grudge against Prolog for making me feel too stupid to really understand how it works when I played around with it many years ago).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">US Presidential hopeful Zoltan Istvan, a Third Party candidate in the race to become the next leader of America, has said America, and other Western countries, will begin phasing out humans for war and replace them with robots.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mr Istvan, a trans-humanist – a movement that wants to use science and technology to radically change the human being and the human experience by merging our bodies with machine – and futurist says that the process of replacing humans with machines in war-zones has already begun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The 44-year old claims helicopter pilots have already been told that they are not going to be actual pilots within five years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He told Express Online: “The other day they sat down 500 of the best navy helicopter pilots in a room and said ‘so I know you’ve all been training for your Top Gun missions and you want to go into the field and do this but over the next few years we’re going to be phasing out all manned helicopter missions and you’re going to be sitting at an office in Washington DC flying drone helicopters, so be prepared.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“‘If you came here to fly manned missions, that’s not going to be happening much longer’.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“We don’t want to put our navy personnel directly in the field if we can avoid it.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mr Istvan says the future of Navy personnel in the US will be confined to a desk, controlling a drone or something of similar ilk – which they were not too pleased about hearing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Soldiers are unlikely to be sent to war</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He continued: “These were guys who saw the movie Top Gun and wanted to be out in the field, not sat behind a desk playing video games.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The next step of the process will see humans being completely phased out of war-zones, and Mr Istvan went as far as to say: “Within 10 years time, I’d bet there won’t be any deaths of US soldiers in war zones. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“There will still probably be special forces, but even they are going to have to be replaced at some point.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">The Reasoning for this? “There is no way that we’re going to send a human being to do what a robot can do for far cheaper.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“A lot of soldiers come back, and then the US government has to support them and pay them money per month, which I think we should do, but that’s another incentive to spend up front on machines so that you don’t end up having these huge military bills taking care of veterans.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Eventually, there will come a point where we no longer create disabled veterans. We will use machines.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">179 UK servicemen and women died during the campaign that followed the invasion of Iraq on </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">20 March 2003.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">However, there is a great fear around the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in war for many reasons, mainly because they have the potential to upraise and rebel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For this, Mr Istvan says that initially all robots will be controlled by humans.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He said: “I think right now there is a great fear of machines controlling machines.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Everybody is so afraid of the Terminator scenario that while they’re very interested in robot soldiers, they’re not interested in robot soldiers being controlled by other robot soldiers yet.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mr Istvan added that there is likely to be a “cluster control” of the robots where one person is operating many machines.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Nonetheless, this has its own downfalls – especially if it gets into the wrong hands.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The US citizen of Hungarian descent can envisage a situation where a terrorist masters cluster control and can, for example, mass-purchase regular drones and use them in attacks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He warned: “A terrorist attack is certainly easy to happen anywhere in the next 10 years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“You can go out to your local drone store, buy 50 of them, arm every single one of them with bullets from Wall Mart, buy software online and you can attack the Super Bowl, for example, where you have a hundred thousand people and you can drop acid bombs or shoot them with drones.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“We’ve never had such a dangerous predicament.”</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He argues that AI will be used to “dominate the military landscape” and will be more significant than the development of the nuclear bomb.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Speaking to Express.co.uk, Mr Istvan said: “If I was going to become president tomorrow, I would put a huge amount of resources into the development of AI because I find that whoever ends up controlling the very first or smartest AI is probably going to very quickly dominate the entire military landscape.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He continued: “You have to see AI as you would see the Manhattan Project or the development of nuclear bombs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He argued that the world’s governments should form a coalition to create AI as it needs to be so carefully monitored.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The US's bombing of Japan 'changed the military landscape'</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mr Istvan added: “To me it is incredibly important that a democratic nation develops AI first because we need to keep it as a democratic power.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In day to day life, we intuitively understand how the world works. Drop a glass and it will smash to the floor. Push a wagon and it will roll along. Walk to a wall and you can't walk through it. There are very basic laws of physics going on all around us that we instinctively grasp: gravity makes things fall to the ground, pushing something makes it move, two things can't occupy the same place at the same time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the turn of the century, scientists thought that all the basic rules like this should apply to everything in nature -- but then they began to study the world of the ultra-small. Atoms, electrons, light waves, none of these things followed the normal rules. As physicists like Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein began to study particles, they discovered new physics laws that were downright quirky. These were the laws of quantum mechanics, and they got their name from the work of Max Planck. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>"An Act of Desperation"</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1900, Max Planck was a physicist in Berlin studying something called the "ultraviolet catastrophe." The problem was the laws of physics predicted that if you heat up a box in such a way that no light can get out (known as a "black box"), it should produce an infinite amount of ultraviolet radiation. In real life no such thing happened: the box radiated different colors, red, blue, white, just as heated metal does, but there was no infinite amount of anything. It didn't make sense. These were laws of physics that perfectly described how light behaved outside of the box -- why didn't they accurately describe this black box scenario? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Planck tried a mathematical trick. He presumed that the light wasn't really a continuous wave as everyone assumed, but perhaps could exist with only specific amounts, or "quanta," of energy. Planck didn't really believe this was true about light, in fact he later referred to this math gimmick as "an act of desperation." But with this adjustment, the equations worked, accurately describing the box's radiation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It took awhile for everyone to agree on what this meant, but eventually Albert Einstein interpreted Planck's equations to mean that light can be thought of as discrete particles, just like electrons or protons. In 1926, Berkeley physicist Gilbert Lewis named them photons. </span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Quanta, quanta everywhere</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This idea that particles could only contain lumps of energy in certain sizes moved into other areas of physics as well. Over the next decade, Niels Bohr pulled it into his description of how an atom worked. He said that electrons traveling around a nucleus couldn't have arbitrarily small or arbitrarily large amounts of energy, they could only have multiples of a standard "quantum" of energy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Eventually scientists realized this explained why some materials are conductors of electricity and some aren't -- since atoms with differing energy electron orbits conduct electricity differently. This understanding was crucial to building a transistor, since the crystal at its core is made by mixing materials with varying amounts of conductivity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">But They're Waves Too</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here's one of the quirky things about quantum mechanics: just because an electron or a photon can be thought of as a particle, doesn't mean they can't still be though of as a wave as well. In fact, in a lot of experiments light acts much more like a wave than like a particle. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This wave nature produces some interesting effects. For example, if an electron traveling around a nucleus behaves like a wave, then its position at any one time becomes fuzzy. Instead of being in a concrete point, the electron is smeared out in space. This smearing means that electrons don't always travel quite the way one would expect. Unlike water flowing along in one direction through a hose, electrons traveling along as electrical current can sometimes follow weird paths, especially if they're moving near the surface of a material. Moreover, electrons acting like a wave can sometimes burrow right through a barrier. Understanding this odd behavior of electrons was necessary as scientists tried to control how current flowed through the first transistors. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>So which is it - a particle or a wave?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Scientists interpret quantum mechanics to mean that a tiny piece of material like a photon or electron is both a particle and a wave. It can be either, depending on how one looks at it or what kind of an experiment one is doing. In fact, it might be more accurate to say that photons and electrons are neither a particle or a wave -- they're undefined up until the very moment someone looks at them or performs an experiment, thus forcing them to be either a particle or a wave. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This comes with other side effects: namely that a number of qualities for particles aren't well-defined. For example, there is a theory by Werner Heisenberg called the Uncertainty Principle. It states that if a researcher wants to measure the speed and position of a particle, he can't do both very accurately. If he measures the speed carefully, then he can't measure the position nearly as well. This doesn't just mean he doesn't have good enough measurement tools -- it's more fundamental than that. If the speed is well-established then there simply does not exist a well-established position (the electron is smeared out like a wave) and vice versa. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Albert Einstein disliked this idea. When confronted with the notion that the laws of physics left room for such vagueness he announced: "God does not play dice with the universe." Nevertheless, most physicists today accept the laws of quantum mechanics as an accurate description of the subatomic world. And certainly it was a thorough understanding of these new laws which helped Bardeen, Brattain, and Shockley invent the transistor. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Video games have been entertaining us for nearly 30 years, ever since Pong was introduced to arcades in the early 1970s. Computer graphics have become much more sophisticated since then, and game graphics are pushing the barriers of photorealism. Now, researchers and engineers are pulling graphics out of your television screen or computer display and integrating them into real-world environments. This new technology, called augmented reality, blurs the line between what's real and what's computer-generated by enhancing what we see, hear, feel and smell.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the spectrum between virtual reality, which creates immersive, computer-generated environments, and the real world, augmented reality is closer to the real world. Augmented reality adds graphics, sounds, haptic feedback and smell to the natural world as it exists. Both video games and cell phones are driving the development of augmented reality. Everyone from tourists, to soldiers, to someone looking for the closest subway stop can now benefit from the ability to place computer-generated graphics in their field of vision.</span></div>

Picture yourself walking or driving down the street. With augmented-reality displays, which will eventually look much like a normal pair of glasses, informative graphics will appear in your field of view, and audio will coincide with whatever you see. These enhancements will be refreshed continually to reflect the movements of your head. Similar devices and applications already exist, particularly on smartphones like the iPhone.</span></div>
