H1N1 Flu Expo Group Hosts Unmanned Aircraft Defense Summit

[Jan Klimkowski]

Now consider that DARPA has micro-UAV’s well underway in the development phase, probably already tested, and capable of carrying spray or syringe-like mechanisms.

The larger ones, as we know, carry cameras and Hellfire missiles.

In addition to their deployment in war zones and other places (Yemen, Venezuela) and the fact that introductory discussion and permission has been sought for their use inside the continental US (CONUS), I remain quite hopeful that they will be used to shower love and affection on the peoples, plants, trees, lakes and rivers (or that perhaps they are decoys to lure away the enemy aircraft from someplace near Alpha Centauri). But I fear that these are nothing but machines for the deliverance of death and destruction.

Indeed.

I've spent many a long week buried in university libraries examining stacks of records of medical conferences from the 1940s-70s, sponsored by military slush funds or "foreign aid" budgets or private foundation money, and with clear geopolitical and hubristic agendas of Control of resources, of Control over the great mass of humanity, and of Weaponization of emerging technologies.

If this drone research was benign, I would still have doubts about the ability of the goons to gauge and reign in the potential excesses of Swarm UAV programmes.

However, like Ed, I suspect that the intentions of some of those funding this research is actively malign.
