The US military will have more robots than humans by 2025

Armed with a budget of over $700 billion for the coming year – which will likely continue to grow over the course of Trump’s Pentagon-controlled presidency — the Pentagon’s dystopian vision for the future of the military is quickly becoming a question not of if but when. by Whitney Webb Part 4 - What could possibly go wrong? Armed with a budget of over $700 billion for the coming year – which will likely continue to grow over the course of Trump’s Pentagon-controlled presidency — the Pentagon’s dystopian vision for the future of the military is quickly becoming a question not of if but when. Not only does it paint a frightening picture for future military operations abroad, it also threatens, given the rapid militarization of law enforcement, to drastically change domestic policing . The unknowns here are beyond concerning. And the unintended consequences of manufacturing a self-policing army of self-aware killing machines – without human emotion, experience,

Πώς ο Τραμπ ανοίγει τον δρόμο στην Κίνα και τη Ρωσία

Μέρος 5ο - Εντωμεταξύ στη Μέση Ανατολή… Η Ρωσία, ένα πετρελαϊκό κράτος με οικονομία μεγέθους Ιταλίας, δεν είναι πλέον η «η αυτοκρατορία του κακού» της σοβιετικής περιόδου. Ωστόσο, ο Ρώσος πρόεδρος Βλαντιμίρ Πούτιν έχει τρία δυνατά χαρτιά: Διαθέτει μία ενισχυμένη, διευρυμένη στρατιωτική μηχανή που υποστηρίζεται από μια εξίσου ισχυρή βιομηχανία. Είναι η δεύτερη χώρα με τη μεγαλύτερη παραγωγή πετρελαίου στον κόσμο, σε μια εποχή που οι τιμές του πετρελαίου ανεβαίνουν. Τέλος, έχει την παντοδύναμη Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation, η οποία διαθέτει όλη τη γκάμα των προϊόντων και υπηρεσιών της πυρηνικής βιομηχανίας και «τρέχει» και τις 360 πολιτικές και στρατιωτικές πυρηνικές εγκαταστάσεις της Ρωσίας. Αυτά τα «περιουσιακά στοιχεία» συνδέονται με τα 18 χρόνια της απόλυτης κυριαρχίας του Πούτιν στην προεδρία, χρόνια που του έδωσαν τη δυνατότητα να δει τα αποτελέσματα της πολιτικής του με τρόπο που κανένας Αμερικανός πρόεδρος δεν θα μπορούσε. Ο Πούτιν ενέπλεξε τη Ρ

Parallel Construction: how the US surveillance state can construct false evidence against any US citizen

globinfo freexchange NSA Whistleblower, William Binney, spoke to Jimmy Dore about Parallel Construction, an unconstitutional method used by the US agencies to construct chargeable evidence against criminals. But the story does not end there. As Binney revealed, the method was used against him and managed to avoid charges because he had evidence in his hands about the frame-up. Binney and his team became widely known when they exposed dirty secrets of the intelligence community according to the documentary A Good American . As Binney sa ys : There is a program called parallel construction. It allows the NSA data to be used for common crimes committed inside the country. We're doing it in secret and we never tell you, we know it's a crime, that's why we're keeping it secret from you. They're doing this regularly.

Venezuela 'Raises $735 million in ONE DAY' from sales of New Oil-Backed Petro Cryptocurrency

“ Today, a cryptocurrency is being born that can take on Superman,” said Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. While cryptocurrency and blockchain experts said Venezuela's new digital currency, the "Petro", would not garner significant investment, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced on Tuesday that the country had earned $735 million on the first day of pre-sales. “ Today, a cryptocurrency is being born that can take on Superman, ” said Maduro, using the comic character as a reference to the United States, while giving an address on state television. He added: “ For big problems, (we have created a) big solution... We Venezuelans are indomitable. ” Maduro noted that the Petro could be used to conduct sales in tourism, gasoline, and some oil transactions. Venezuela's Cryptocurrency Superintendent, Carlos Vargas, stated that the Petro has already attracted investors from Qatar, Turkey and other parts of the Middle East, though

Yes, the US used biological weapons on North Korea

It’s sort of silly that it matters. The United States bombed North Korea flat with ordinary, non-bioweapons bombs. It ran out of standing structures to bomb. People lived in caves, if they lived. Millions died, most of them from regular old non-scandalous but mass-murderous bombs (including, of course, Napalm which melts people but doesn’t give them exotic diseases). North Koreans to this day live in such terror of a repetition of history that their behavior is sometimes inexplicable and bewildering to Americans whose knowledge of history comes from watching game shows. Yet there is something powerful in its impact on self-deluded believers in the goodness of U.S. wars about the fact that the United States tried to spread diseases like bubonic plague in North Korea. So, it’s worth spreading awareness that this indeed happened. A great help in that project has just been provided by Jeffrey Kaye, who has just posted online an important report that has been largely una
