IS BLACK DEVILS CONTROLLING EAST CLEVELAND OHIO?

Who decided that we are living in perilous times? Who is the arbiter of deciding what is uncertain or perilous and why do they have to encourage this type of thinking. Why is it that those who wish to impose restrictions on this want to all hide from humanity? It is not always prudent to quote a book written by one of the biggest villains of the 20th century but I feel it is appropriate given the way we are spinning into the dystopia that his example gave us. In the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes. While it’s easy to find someone you can count on to advance one particular lie at one particular time, it is difficult to find someone you can be absolutely certain will lie for you day after day, year after year, through election cycles and administration changes and new war agendas and changing political climates.

Propaganda and the controlling of the narrative is a legitimate weapon for an ostensibly free democracy to inflict upon its citizens of course; manipulating the way your citizenry thinks is manipulating the way they vote and organize and what they consent to, and is plainly sociopathic. People often believe that they are not manipulated and that their decisions are a product of one’s own free will. However, things are changing – and not for the better. When it comes to COVID-19 sure there are going to be spikes in infections after the Memorial Day Holiday but the knee jerk reactions and the idea that we should wear masks as an accessory indefinitely is over the top and is not based at all on science – contrary to popular belief what we are going through now is based on consensus and while we have people that are telling you it is science – they are only telling you a half truth. To wear a mask or not wear a mask, to social distance or not social distance, to be cajoled into believing if you are asymptomatic you are going to kill someone – it is only consensus that fuels this. We have gone through all of this before. Should we get vaccinated? Fluoridate our water? Fight global warming? It’s difficult for many of us to base the answer to these questions on what a nameless, faceless expert tells us, since we like to think we have the capabilities of gathering the relevant information and making up our own minds. Part of having a working mind means having the confidence to gather, synthesize and draw conclusions from the information you can access yourself. To an individual with a working mind, the fact that most people, even if it’s the overwhelming majority of intelligent, informed people believe in something shouldn’t shape your opinion at all. Your freedom of choice and moral sovereignty are some of the most valuable traits we possess as human beings.

Things have certainly gotten really crazy here in 2020. First we witnessed the eruption of the worst global pandemic in 100 years, then the U.S. economy started collapsing, and then we watched major U.S. cities burn from coast to coast as rioting and looting spiraled out of control. Everywhere you look, people are very angry and deeply frustrated, nearly 46 million Americans have filed for unemployment benefits over the past few months, and fear of COVID-19 continues to paralyze our society to a frightening extent. But can this really be called the lowest point in modern U.S. history? According to one recent survey, a whopping 72 percent of all Americans actually believe that this “is the lowest point in the country’s history that they’ve ever been alive to see”…Across two polls, more than 5,000 adult U.S. residents were recently surveyed on the state of America right now. A staggering 83% say that worrying about the future of the United States is a big source of personal stress. Also, 72% believe this is the lowest point in the country’s history that they’ve ever been alive to see.That appears to be quite a consensus. Of course many of those that were alive during the Great Depression of the 1930s and the early days of World War II would strongly argue that what we are experiencing today is nothing compared to what they had to deal with. And without a doubt, the twelve years from 1968 to 1980 were not easy years by any stretch of the imagination. Just like now, Americans of that era were facing great civil unrest, tremendous economic problems, major political shaking and a global pandemic that killed a lot of people. If you don’t know about that pandemic, just Google “the flu pandemic of 1968”. Having said all that, there is definitely a case to be made for 2020. Not even during the Great Depression did we ever see the kind of apocalyptic spike in unemployment that we have witnessed this year. Even though nearly 46 million Americans have already filed for unemployment benefits since the COVID-19 pandemic began, big firms continue to lay off thousands upon thousands of workers. On top of that, more than 100,000 businesses have already permanently closed their doors, and Americans have already skipped payments on more than 100 million loans.

We did not arrive here because of science, we arrived here because of consensus we got here because of social engineering and what is most sick and twisted is while many will find a scapegoat as to who is responsible for this social engineering it appears that no one truly knows how to expose the consensus manipulation. Whoever they are they should be tried for crimes against humanity, and the American people should without bias understand the political theater that is involved with what is happening here. Consensus finds a way through conflicting opinions and interests. Consensus is achieved when the outcome of discussion leaves everyone feeling they have been given enough of what they want. The processes of proper science could hardly be more different. The accomplished politician is a negotiator, a conciliator, finding agreement where none seemed to exist. The accomplished scientist is an original, an extremist, disrupting established patterns of thought. Good science involves perpetual, open debate, in which every objection is aired and dissents are sharpened and clarified, not smoothed over. Often the argument will continue forever, and should, because the objective of science is not agreement on a course of action, but the pursuit of truth. Remember, it is the pursuit of truth it is not always Truth and science has an uncanny knack of changing its mind. If people tell you that science is truth then ask them if Pluto is a planet. In August 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of “dwarf planet.” This means that from now on only the rocky worlds of the inner Solar System and the gas giants of the outer system will be designated as planets. Technically, it is not a planet but the rest is left for consensus – so what is the truth? Science is still in pursuit of it – we are told that Global Warming is truth but is it? It is based on consensus strategies of proposed models and projections based on current trends.

A few spikes in hot temperatures does not mean that it will continue – the projections and most of what is being told to us is based on political consensus to actually change the planet on a political level. If you think that rendering to world to the level of State Socialism is going to change the climate then you have fallen for the consensus lie. You may think you are adhering to science, but you are following political whim. Climatologists know about Climate Change, but little girls from Sweden, opportunistic politicians, lawyers, philosophers and economists, are not equipped or even qualified to assess conflicting claims on these issues. Our default is to science – but what is really going on is political consensus. Science is a matter of evidence, not what a majority of scientists think. Science is pursuant on the idea of results – not some idea that COVID -19 attacks you if you are in a small business or in a Walmart – or whether or not you are at church or a protest. Science does not or has not proven that masks are going to protect you – only experts that are paid by governments to push a political maneuver say so. Did anyone even take notice into considering that with all of the social distancing, mask wearing, and voluntary stay at home quarantine we still managed to kill over 100,000 Americans in four months? That we are told is science. But in reality it is consensus. What we should learn from this is that people die regardless of what triggers it, COVID-19, the flu, pneumonia, exposure to some toxic chemical. That is science. We know that everything finds a way to die – we are just avoiding the inevitable and politicians tell you that they have experts that are guiding them. The whole purpose of staying in homes, wearing masks, and social distancing was to take the burden off the hospitals, to somehow pace the problem so that there was no overwhelming onslaught of cases. But then something changed, after the numbers were crushed and the cases peaked and ebbed. The politicians showed their true colors. They decided to make it a political take down of the current administration. So they leaned on the experts to give them reason to not look foolish, to make it look like they weren’t playing political theater but guess what it is not working. The economy is tanking, and sure businesses are open, but are they running in prudent and practical manner? Restaurants are opening that they are now being run like school or prison cafeterias. Numbers are critical to the economy, but science is not at all involved with economy. Our Governor said that it looks like wearing masks has to mandatory and that we will probably have to wear them all the time that does not affect my belief that this is not science because I know it is consensus.

People are ripping down statues all over the country – they say it is because the statues are those of racist confederate leaders. However, they tore down a statue of Ulysses S. Grant. They have torn down the statues of men that are our founding fathers, Lady Liberty in the harbor might be next. Is this because someone knows history? – no, of course not, it is by consensus. Hitler was very good at encouraging people to burn books and ignore history because it was easier for him to push the big lie by consensus. Hitler knew that he had to get the people to do it so that he would not be blamed if it all fell apart in the end. All he would have to say is – you chose it, after I suggested it – it doesn’t mean you have to act this way. There are innumerable examples of when people overwhelmingly — perhaps even unanimously — believed something to be true or valid, yet were proven to be wrong by the harsh truths of reality. The fact that there was a consensus did nothing to change the outcome of what the Universe wound up delivering. It’s why, perhaps, regardless of your politics, you can agree with Margaret Thatcher’s definition of “consensus” as quite a dirty word: Consensus: “The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead. What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner: ‘I stand for consensus?” Meanwhile, fear of COVID-19 is going to continue to paralyze our society for the foreseeable future. I don’t know if you have taken a look at the numbers lately, but the truth is that the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. is starting to surge again. For the planet as a whole, Friday was the worst day of the pandemic so far by a very wide margin, and that means that this crisis is a long, long way from over. There are already whispers that there may be new lockdowns here in the United States. I seriously hope that does not happen, because that would be another crippling blow for our collapsing economy, and the virus just continued to spread during the first round of lockdowns anyway. It doesn’t have to be this way – if we just realized that we are vulnerable no matter what happens to us. Hovered more rioting, looting and violence is now part of the new normal. This is because we are giving these people a pass. They shouldn’t get one – crime is crime and it should be dealt with but the consensus is somehow excusing their behavior while hypocritically telling others to wear masks and social distance. Really stupid logic – and is full of hypocrisy. Since this is an election year, tensions are going to be running even higher than usual, and even a relatively minor spark could cause another round of major civil unrest. But as bad as things are right now, what most people don’t understand is that this is just the beginning.

The cycle is all because of what the experts are telling us – well what the experts have said is no working – it is not working – keep lying to yourself that it is . It isn’t. We have entered a time when we are going to be facing one crisis after another, and this is going to be true no matter what happens during the election in November. We have reached a moment in history when all of the cycles are ending, all of the bubbles are bursting, and we are going to experience the consequences of all the very foolish decisions that we have been making for decades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yopEqbVGVN... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LasbOJ16QU...


After thought: According to the 2020 Chinese horoscope, the Lunar New Year starts on Saturday, January 25th and ends on February 11th, 2021. The Rat is the first sign from the 12 animals in the cycle of the Chinese Astrology. 2020, we have been told, is going to be the year where all of the most amazing technology will be implemented for what the technocrats say is our own good. The Consumer Electronics Show underway in Las Vegas and Samsung wheeled out its first artificial human called Neon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UlBFiL6no... Neon tweeted “Have you ever met an ‘Artificial?'” several times since its Twitter account launched in December. Its LinkedIn page says its “bringing science fiction to reality” and has “the mission to imagine and create a better future for all.” Little was known about Neon, beyond the fact it’s run by Pranav Mistry, the Samsung research exec who in October was named CEO of Samsung’s Bay Area-based Technology and Advanced Research Labs. Over the weekend Mistry tweeted out two photos of what appears to be an avatar (or “artificial human?”) that he called “CORE R3.’ “It can now autonomously create new expressions, new movements, new dialog (even in Hindi), completely different from the original captured data,” Mistry tweeted. Looking at the Avatar you would think you are living in a lesser level of Westworld but technology is exponentially growing – and robots, drones, military metal rats and advanced Artificial Intelligence are certainly going to be huge in the next decade. Some of us are still trying to get a handle on the technology we have now. Many people are unaware that if you are caught stealing a cell phone – it is a felony you can spend 5 years in jail. The same technology that makes your life convenient – is the same technology that can be either taken or used against you.

For example, that same facial recognition that unlocks your cell phone is the same technology they can feed into a drone that can target can kill you. Using object recognition software can identify a target and it can get more accurate the more that you use it. The more pictures you post to Instagram, the more you post to Facebook and Twitter creates a virtual portfolio. The more pictures you make public on social media the more these technologies chronicle your features. This technology was used to track down and kill Qasem Soleimani. It was also the same technology that the Obama administration used to hunt down and kill Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen. His son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki another, 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was killed in a U.S. drone strike two weeks later. That drone, you know the one that you see advertised that gets great aerial photography – can be made to fly without a pilot carrying a warhead that can be thrust headfirst into a target. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TH8TEcDPY... New technology for 2020 will be certainly an amazing thing to behold but keep in mind that weaponized versions of this technology are being made to kill you. These technologies are now trending because of the latest incident in the Middle East and it appears that both sides will be using highly advanced Artificial Intelligence and robotics that will change the way wars will be waged. Many of the companies that are behind this technology got a big boost after the attacks at the Bagdad airport which has triggered the threat of all out war. Now it has been reported that at least six rockets have struck the Al-Asad airbase in western Iraq, which houses US troops, and there are unconfirmed reports of up to 30 missiles. Iranian news agency FARS reported the launch of multiple missiles in “revenge” for last week’s drone strike that assassinated General Qassem Soleimani at the Baghdad international airport, along with several leaders of the Iraqi Shia militia.

Anonymous Pentagon officials claim the missiles came from Iranian soil, which would be a first since the Iran-Iraq war ended in 1988. Iran is no longer abiding by many of the restrictions in the landmark 2015 nuclear deal and this should be something to consider as their allies are sharing with them advanced weapons that can boost the capabilities of Iran. Iran is closer to having a functional nuke now than it has been in the last five years. Weapons contractors are no respecters of persons—they will sell weapons to anyone and the advanced technologies are freely being shared between Russia, China, and Iran. Lockheed Martin, famous for its fighter planes, helicopters, and missiles, saw its stock price spike to over $416, a jump of seven percent almost overnight. Other defense corporations like Northrop Grumman saw a nine percent rise in its share price, as the stock market rushed to buy a piece of a highly profitable company. General Dynamics and Raytheon saw similar increases in their companies’ value. Meanwhile, There are two distinct programs provided by Raytheon JADE I and JADE II. Operational Analysis of “War Gaming” and the explanation of the JADE holographic simulations can be found in Raytheon Reference memos which state that The NATO Modeling and Simulation Group Technical Activity 48 (MSG-048) was chartered to evaluate a Command and Control (C2) Language, Coalition Battle Management Language, for Multinational and NATO C2 collaboration supported by modeling and simulation tools. To achieve this, MSG-048 is using an emerging open technical standard based on the US Joint Battle Management Language (JBML) prototype Web services. This paper describes the Joint Air Defense Training Simulation (JADE) II, as an experimental synthetic exercise first performed in late October 2007. The exercise provided training for an Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) organization including two naval frigate AAW teams, an air surveillance and combat management team at a Control and Reporting Centre (CRC) and two combat aircraft pilots, training air-maritime cooperation and coordination procedures.

The synthetic exercise was enabled by interconnecting stand-alone training simulation systems and their voice and tactical data link systems, creating the JADE II Joint Tactical Training Capability Prototype (JJTTCP). The JADE II experiments evaluated the JJTTCP’s ability to provide relevant and cost-effective training. Jade Helm 15 is an implementation of Artificial General Intelligence on the battlefield, literally “mastering the human domain” as reported in their cryptic slogan. “JADE” is an A.I. quantum computing technology that produces holographic battlefield simulations and has the ability to use vast amounts of data being collected on the human domain to generate human terrain systems in geographic population-centric locations to identify and eliminate targets, insurgents, rebels or whatever labels that can be flagged as targets in a Global Information Grid for Network Centric Warfare environments. The JADE II battle field system is cognitive and intuitive. It can examine prior executed battle plans and devise ‘new and better’ strategies to increase the ‘kill chain’. The II generation of JADE has the capability for two way communication with drones through the OCCOM technology which is one of the next generation integrations to this system. Many people remember the JADE HELM exercise that took place in 2007. It was a cognitive software program based on a Network Centric Warfare Systems at the HELM. These systems could very well see an evolutionary change as A.I. grows exponentially for what will be touted as proficient warfare systems. The end result would be a holographic battlefield technology where killer robots and drones would be put into the matrix and used for direct kills. US military commanders are itching to get their hands on some killer robots after an Army war game saw a human-robot coalition repeatedly rout an all-human company three times its size. The technology used in the computer-simulated clashes doesn’t exist quite yet – the concept was only devised a few months ago – but it’s in the pipeline, and that should concern anyone who prefers peace to war.

Civilian casualties are already a huge problem with drone strikes, which by some estimates kill their intended target only 10 percent of the time. Drones, an early form of killer robot, offer minimal sensory input for the operator, making it difficult to distinguish combatants from non-combatants. Soldiers controlling infantry-bots from afar will have even less visibility, being stuck to the ground, and their physical distance from the action means shooting first and asking questions later becomes an act no more significant than pulling the trigger in a first-person-shooter video game. Any US military lives saved by using robot troops will thus be more than compensated for by a spike in civilian casualties on the other side. This will be ignored by the media, as “collateral damage” often is—but many Americans will not be informed about the dangers ahead as many of the technologies we use will be weaponized, used for advanced surveillance and biometric identification. The Pentagon is in the Death Machine business and many militaries and tech contractors are selling advanced A.I. weapons and what can be called Metal Rats to the highest bidder. Meanwhile, Iran’s killer robots with the power to take on tanks and infantry have been captured on video, as tensions escalate in the region. The Heidar-1 unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) were recently unveiled by the Islamic Republic of Iran Army Ground Forces. Iranian robotics experts in Tehran developed the deadly robots with the aim of rolling under tanks and blowing them up in a potential future ground conflict. They were created by the Research and Self-Sufficiency Jihad Organization of the Iranian Army. Scientists created six different versions of the wheeled bots, including two which are mounted with assault rifles. Another is designed to blow up underneath a tank like a super-powerful mobile mine. All the vehicles are topped with antennae and small video cameras, while the assault-rifle equipped versions also have telescopic optic sensors to aim their weapons.

Describing them as “network-connected anti-infantry and armor smart UGVs,” Iran first unveiled the robots at an army weapons expo in Tehran last October. This isn’t the first time uncrewed ground vehicles have been used in the Middle East. ISIS and other paramilitary terror groups have built their own in the past from commercially-available parts. The killer robots are similar to the Goliath tracked mines – known also as Doodlebugs – developed by the Germans during World War Two. Meanwhile, attempts at creating Skynet have been successful on many fronts. In the first Terminator films, Skynet is described as being a revolutionary artificial intelligence system built by Cyberdyne Systems for SAC-NORAD. It was described as an advanced neuro network for full-spectrum control. It utilized advanced A.I. that controlled robotic killing machines form both ground and air. Starlink from Space X has launched strings of satellites that have been mistaken for UFO’s this past year. The recent successful Starlink launch made Space X the world’s largest Satellite operator and became the first launch to happen under the auspices of Space Force, which was signed into existence on December 20th, 2019 by President Donald Trump as the sixth branch of the armed forces. Back in October, we learned that Space X has been working with the U.S. Air Force on a program called Global Lightning. The military is seeking ways to use what are called mega-constellations that bring cheap broadband capabilities all over the world. Space X in December 2018 received a $28 million contract to test over the next three years in different ways in which the military might use Starlink broadband services. So far, SpaceX has demonstrated data throughput of 610 megabits per second in flight to the cockpit of a U.S. military C-12 twin-engine turboprop aircraft. Space X received the largest Air Force contract so far from any of the LEO broadband companies under the so-called “Defense Experimentation Using the Commercial Space Internet” program.

Low-cost internet access from LEO constellations is one of the products that the Air Force wants to be able to acquire and use as soon as possible. Today the military relies on a mix of geostationary commercial and military satellites. The megaconstellations would have hundreds or thousands of small satellites orbiting the planet at lower altitudes. It would be an advantage for the Department of Defense to invest in military-owned satellites so that they control these metal rats – namely mechanized death machines from the air. When it comes to topics like the internet of things the train has already left the station. Digital sensory devices are now being procured and they are meant to interact with each other in a similar way to which people interact with each other on the web. With 5G on the way, machines will be able to communicate with machines, robots can communicate with robots – and the military can efficiently communicate with their autonomous metal rat killing machines that put you constantly under the gun. We have gone from telemetry to machine-to-machine, from analog to digital and soon, we will be making the transition from physical to cyber. Then there will be organic to metal machines. The invention of metal rat fighting machines and their use will be a keen equilibrium for advanced adversaries like Russia and China—even in a lesser way, Iran. The US has not picked a fight with a militarily-equal enemy in over half a century, but robots capable of increasing the might of the Pentagon’s military force nine-fold will seriously shift the balance of power in Washington’s favor. The country’s top warmongers will be fighting amongst themselves over whom to strike first, reminding apprehensive citizens that it’s not as if their sons and daughters will be put at risk unless the US’ chosen target just happened to lob a bomb overseas in retaliation.

The chilling possibility that the avoidance of home-team casualties would open the door to all the wars the US has ever wanted to fight, but not had the military capacity for, runs up against the fact that Washington – already over $22 trillion in debt – can’t possibly afford to further expand its already monstrous military footprint. Yet the Pentagon never runs out of money – it added $21 billion to its budget this year, and has never been told there’s no funding for even the most ill-advised weapons program. So while money might be a logical protection against the endless expansion of the endless war, in the US, the Fed will just print more. Autonomous killer robots – bots that select and kill their own targets using artificial intelligence – are the logical endpoint of the mission to dehumanize war completely, filling the ranks with soldiers that won’t ask questions, won’t talk back, and won’t hesitate to shoot whoever they’re told to shoot. The pitfalls to such a technology are obvious. If AI can’t be trained to distinguish between sarcasm and normal speech, or between a convicted felon and a congressman, how can it be trusted to reliably distinguish between civilian and soldier? Or even between friend and foe? The first human soldier to die by a robot comrade’s “friendly fire” will no doubt be framed as an accident, but who will be held responsible in the event of a full-on robot mutiny? This would make the Matrix and the Terminator stories prophetic accidents. The metal rat-minded military is aware of the bad publicity. A recent Pentagon study (focusing on robotically-enhanced humans but applicable to robotic soldiers as well) warns that it’s better to “anticipate” and “prepare” for the impact of these technologies by crafting a regulatory framework in advance than to hastily impose one later, presumably in reaction to some catastrophic robot mishap. In order to have their hands free to develop the technology as they see fit, military leaders should make an effort to “reverse the negative cultural narratives of enhancement technologies,” lest the dystopian narratives civilians carry in their heads spoil all the fun.

Meanwhile, the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, a coalition of anti-war groups, scientists, academics, and politicians who’d rather not take a ‘wait and see’ approach to a technology that could destroy the human race, are calling on the United Nations to adopt an international ban on autonomous killing machines. According to the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, the stage is being set for a potentially destabilizing “robotic arms race” that could see countries worldwide working to gain the upper-hand in building their autonomous warfighting capabilities. The militaries of the U.S., Russia, China, Israel, South Korea, and the United Kingdom have already developed advanced systems that enjoy significant autonomy in their ability to select and attack targets, the campaign notes. And while countries across the Global South have urged the UN to impose a ban on killer robots, states who possess these technologies have opposed such a ban at every turn — signaling that they are unwilling to let go of their revolutionary new implements of death. Former Google representative Laura Nolan has said that she had joined the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots because the robot systems envisioned by Big Tech firms and militaries could potentially do “calamitous things that they were not originally programmed for.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4FocUsT8V... Nolan resigned last year in protest of Google’s Project Maven, which was meant to dramatically upgrade U.S. military drones’ AI capabilities. “The likelihood of a disaster is in proportion to how many of these machines will be in a particular area at once. What you are looking at are possible atrocities and unlawful killings even under laws of warfare, especially if hundreds or thousands of these machines are deployed. There could be large-scale accidents because these things will start to behave in unexpected ways. This is why any advanced weapons systems should be subject to meaningful human control, otherwise, they have to be banned because they are far too unpredictable and dangerous.”

According to a supplemental report to President Trump’s budget request, the federal government is poised to spend nearly $1 billion on nondefense AI research and development in the fiscal year 2020. Meanwhile, the military is searching for what they call a dead hand technology that will launch nukes if there is no one to launch a defensive attack. Their solution? To fit the U.S. nuclear arsenal with artificial intelligence controls. This, of course, echoes some of the doomsday machine worries that were presented in Dr. Strangelove. And while the Cold War may long be a thing of the past, experts claim that such a system “that might seem unfathomable” remains necessary “to reinforce the desired deterrent effect” of the U.S. war machine in the face of rivals’ nuclear modernization programs while giving a boost to second-strike capabilities. The potential application of Artificial Intelligence tech to nuclear warfare is hardly a fresh concept. The United Nations University explains that during the height of the late 20th-century nuclear rivalry between the U.S. and the former USSR, both countries’ respective military leaderships explored the option of bolstering their nuclear capabilities with varying degrees of AI. However, the Soviet Union was the only country to develop a semi-automated nuclear launch mechanism to ensure an all-out nuclear response in case their leadership was decapitated in the form of the Dead Hand system. In the science fiction movie, Prometheus, the fictitious Weyland Corporation was able to create a viable robot for the military in 2023. “We are now three months into the year of our Lord, 2023,” intones the corporate titan Peter Wayland after listing the key inventions that arrived subsequent to Promethean fire, “at this moment in our civilization, we can create cybernetic individuals who, in just a few short years, will be completely indistinguishable from us.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQpGwnN3df... He sells Artificial Intelligence and cybernetic artificial humans like a televangelist sells payer calls and bibles. Later, we are then introduced to David, a robot that is made especially for space travel. We later learn that robots that are program to do the bidding of a corrupt system become monsters –and it should be a precautionary tale for the world. Weyland evokes the same hubris that had motivated the fictional Dr. Frankenstein to create his monster. Mary Shelley, however, in her novel Frankenstein, or the modern Prometheus had criticized such hubris and instead affirmed a reverent belief in the natural world and its limitations. Likewise, director James Whale in his classic Hollywood films, Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, had criticized the same hubris by depicting the “monster” as sympathetic, notwithstanding endings in which the “monster” is destroyed.
