November 17, 201311 yr So the first post in this thread....... Yes, post your doomer, pre-apocalyptic porn here! Was this drone manufactured by the Cyberdyne Systems Corp.? Ghost in the Drone The article has this interesting snippet, taken from declassified US Drone incident reports: Air Force mechanics have reported mysterious incidents in which the airborne robots went haywire. In March 2011, a Predator parked at the camp started its engine without any human direction, even though the ignition had been turned off and the fuel lines closed. Technicians concluded that a software bug had infected the "brains" of the drone, but never pinpointed the problem. "After that whole starting-itself incident, we were fairly wary of the aircraft and watched it pretty closely," an unnamed Air Force squadron commander testified to an investigative board, according to a transcript. "Right now, I still think the software is not good." http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002448.html ....takes us to this post in the thread: Malfunctioning drone strikes Navy ship during training off Southern California; 2 injured By Associated Press, Updated: Sunday, November 17, 2:12 AM LOS ANGELES — The Navy says an aerial target drone malfunctioned and struck a guided missile cruiser during training off Southern California, causing two minor injuries. Lt. Lenaya (luh-NEY-yah) Rotklein of the U.S. Third Fleet said the accident on the USS Chancellorsville happened Saturday afternoon while the ship was testing its combat weapons system off Point Mugu. She said two sailors were treated for minor burns after the ship was struck. She said the ship was heading back to Naval Base San Diego so that officials can assess the damage. The Navy was investigating the cause of the drone malfunction.

May 15, 201411 yr This is what futurists like Ray Kurzweil have been positing for many years as the likely post-2030 human future, though of course, he focuses more on the civilian side rather than the military (but this kind of technology is pretty clearly applicable to both civilian and military purposes). He uses the phrase "merging with our technology," basically trying to capture both the side of the story NPR is covering here ("the person becomes the processor") and the flip side of the coin starting to be covered more and more elsewhere (increasing machine intelligence).

As the researchers put it, FlyMAD “is a system for targeting freely walking flies (Drosophila) with lasers. By steering the optical path of the laser using large diameter mirrors, it also enables simultaneous imaging of the target region. This enables through-the-mirrors (TTM) targeting of specific body parts. Together, all this allows rapid thermo- and opto- genetic manipulation of the fly nervous system.”" http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/05/27/control_fruit_fly_with_frikkin_lasers/

This situation is untenable and the formal declaration of the bankruptcy of the United States of America Corporation is coming soon, according to Japanese government sources. The declaration of bankruptcy of the US corporate government would also mark the end of a 2000 year project by the Roman Empire to create a worldwide fascist dictatorship or New World Order, multiple sources agree. http://deusnexus.wordpress.com/2014/06/09/fulford-bankruptcy-bilderberg/
