BEWARE of American leaflets in IRAQ!

In fall 2002, the United States of America began preparations for a second invasion of Iraq. Part of the strategy was to increase the number of flights over the so-called "no-fly" zones. These zones exist to protect the minority Kurds of the north and the Muslim Shiites of the south. The Iraqis were aware of the increased surveillance and met it by targeting Coalition aircraft with radar and occasionally firing anti-aircraft artillery or missiles toward those aircraft. This caused an interesting and escalating chain reaction. As the Iraqis fired on the aircraft, more aircraft dropped warning leaflets against such actions, which led to increased anti-aircraft fire. This led to the bombing of such sites and continued escalation.

DARPA'S SIMPLE PLAN TO TRACK YOUR EVERY MOVE

The cameras are already in place. The computer code is being developed at a dozen or more major companies and universities. And the trial runs have already been planned.
Everything is set for a new Pentagon program to become perhaps the federal government's widest reaching, most invasive mechanism yet for keeping us all under watch. Not in the far-off, dystopian future. But here, and soon.
The military is scheduled to issue contracts for Combat Zones That See, or CTS, as early as September. The first demonstration should take place before next summer, according to a spokesperson. Approach a checkpoint at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, during the test and CTS will spot you. Turn the wheel on this sprawling, 8,656-acre army encampment, and CTS will record your action. Your face and license plate will likely be matched to those on terrorist watch lists. Make a move considered suspicious, and CTS will instantly report you to the authorities.
Fort Belvoir is only the beginning for CTS. Its architects at the Pentagon say it will help protect our troops in cities like Baghdad, where for the past few weeks fleeting attackers have been picking off American fighters in ones and twos. But defense experts believe the surveillance effort has a second, more sinister, purpose: to keep entire cities under an omnipresent, unblinking eye.
This isn't some science fiction nightmare. Far from it. CTS depends on parts you could get, in a pinch, at Kmart.

The japanese new revolution!!!!

Kawada Industries' HRP-3 Promet Mk-II, a 160-centimetre-tall (five feet, four inches) humanoid, walked on a slippery floor scattered with sand and held out its arms under a shower before media cameras.this robot is made to walk wherever a human can walk and can also do many things that human can't do.the humanoid can substitute human functions, this means the entire social cost would be reduced because he can replace all the functions of human and be more affective than human.

Swords the revolution of robots armyy

The SWORDS military robot is basically the first evolution of robotic weapons.it is a remote control robot that the soldier can control this robot from far away.this robot contains a rocket launcher, sniper rifle, machine gun, grenade launcher, and more like Alternative weapons, including 40 mm grenade launchers and anti-tank rocket launchers, continue to be evaluated by the U.S. Army.Swords is being used in iraq from 2007 till now and now the U.S army is trying to evaluate now a new edition of this robot that can walk like a human soldier.by hani

TALON small military robot....

TALON is a powerful, lightweight,designed to explore areas for military and to deliver weapons from soldiers.Its a fast robot and very practical and it helps the army to be very know of their enemy...Talon about 115 lb (52 kg), TALON can be easily transported and is instantly ready for operation.Talon is the fastet robot in the market now and it can run like a soldier do and also TALON robots have the longest battery life of all man-portable robots.TALON robots can take a punch and stay in the fight. One was blown off the roof of a Humvee in Iraq while the Humvee was crossing a bridge over a river. TALON flew off the bridge and plunged into the river below. Soldiers later used its operator control unit to drive the robot back out of the river and up onto the bank so they could retrieve it. written by hani

4th Psychological Operations Group (Airborne)

The 4th Psychological Operations Group (Airborne) at Fort Bragg, NC, is the only active Army psychological operations unit. The 1,300-member unit constitutes 26 percent of all U.S. Army psychological operations units; the remaining 74 percent being filled by reservists. As of May 2006, the unit was slated to eventually grow to approximately 2,300 troops by the year 2011.
The mission of the 4th Psychological Operations Group (Airborne) is to deploy anywhere in the world on short notice, and plan, develop, and conduct Civil Affairs and Psychological operations in support of Unified Commanders, coalition forces, or other government agencies as directed by the National Command Authority.
The 4th POG (A) personnel (soldiers and civilian) include regional experts and linguists who understand the political, cultural ethnic, and religious subtleties of the target audience. They also include functional experts in technical fields such as broadcast journalism radio operations, print, illustration, interrogation layout operations, and long-range tactical communications.

US Commando SOLO II (airplane) used for PSYOP operations!

The aircraft fly a variety of missions. In Afghanistan, they're broadcasting music, news and information in the various languages of the country. These are radio broadcasts only.
The planes are part of the 193rd Special Operations Wing of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard. They are based at Harrisburg International Airport, Pa.
Army specialists in the language and customs of the area prepare the broadcasts.
Ham radio operators can listen to the broadcast at 8700 kilohertz, said Air Force 1st Lt. Edward Shank, a spokesman for the squadron. The squadron has participated in operations in Panama, Bosnia, Kosovo and during the Gulf War. Their aircraft have been modified to not only handle radio, but television broadcasts. They can broadcast via tape or live. "If needed, we have the capability to take a speech by the President of the United States and beam it live via satellite to the aircraft, which then would broadcast it," Shank said.
The name "Commando Solo II" also has meaning. Commando refers to the special operations mission, and Solo refers to the fact that the aircraft can go it alone, Shank said.
The US military has also been conducting psychological operations (Psyops) such as leaflet drops and radio programme broadcasts through EC-130E ‘Commando Solo’ aircraft, US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld confirmed. Psyops are typically begun prior to offensive military operations to help ‘prepare’ the battlefield and generate support from local populations.

CYBERTERRORIST NETWORKS

It is important to map what a cyberterrorist network would look like. For this, it's useful to look at traditional hacker networks. It can be safely said that hackers, like terrorists, tend to work in asymmetric, non-hierarchical formation, which means that they do not have organizations like gangs and so forth. The concept of netwar (Arquilla & Ronfeldt 2001) might or might not be useful at explaining these new kinds of formations. Although the concept of netwar is at odds with traditional forms of organization, criminal networks tend to have the following types of members, which can be compared to the types of members found in a terrorist network, as follows:
Membership Roles/Components of Hacking/Terrorist Networks:

• Organizers -- core members who steer group
• Leadership -- charismatics who lead group
• Insulators -- members who protect the core
• Bodyguards -- members who protect leaders
• Communicators -- pass on directives
• Seconds in command -- pass on orders
• Guardians -- security enforcers
• Intelligence -- and counterintelligence agents
• Extenders -- recruiters of new members
• Financiers -- fund raisers & money launderer
• Monitors -- advisors about group weaknesses
• Logistics -- keepers of safe houses
• Members -- those who do the hacking
• Operations -- those who commit the terror
• Crossovers -- people with regular jobs
• Sleepers -- members living under deep cover

The Army's Robot Big Dog.......

this big army robots can always follow soldiers to battle and help them whrever duty calls.Click here to download an incredible video (WMV format) of the BigDog in action.

The amazing "BigDog" is a new type of military transport robot that can carry up to 120 pounds, walk up to 3.3 mph and climb inclines up to 45 degrees.And the robo-rover has eyes: It sports a stereo camera and laser scanner mounted where the head would go, if it had a head. Although these don't currently influence navigation, the next BigDog will use them to read the terrain ahead and spot obstacles. hani for more info:http://www.popsci.com/node/3409

ASIMO conducts an orchestra, and the humans obey!

first what is ASIMO......ASIMo is a humanoid robot created by Honda Motor Company. Standing at 130 centimeters (4 feet 3 inches) and weighing 54 kilograms (119 pounds), the robot resembles a small astronaut wearing a backpack and can walk or run on two feet at speeds up to 6 km/h (3.7 mph)[1]. ASIMO was created at Honda's Research & Development Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center in Japan.

Detroit, Michigan, United States. 13-May-2008. (Source: ABC News via The Associated Press) Honda’s ASIMO robot becomes a music machine as it picks up a baton to conduct the Detroit Symphony Orchestra through the opera tune “The Impossible Dream.” The performance was to highlight a $1M gift from Honda to the orchestra’s music education fund.

Practice really makes something better,in the first rehersal asimo conducts the orchestra with a very good way but there was a mistake when asimo slow the tempo.this was really a mistake but after training with the orchestra ASIMO was getting so musch better and the engineers dont have a big problem in removing the mistake of slowing the tempo........so can a humanoid robot be a very goood musician...... hani

Who controls your data??

NO matter where you go,anytime you want you can always check and see your data......before the revolution of internet your data were not linked to each other in a way,but now after this new technologies and developpement of internet,anybody can check and see or hack your datas because you are putting your files in an illusion world.

Bruce Schneier sums up what people need to do in four words: TAKE BACK OUR DATA. He calls for data privacy laws to do the trick:
We need a comprehensive data privacy law. This law should protect all information about us, and not be limited merely to financial or health information. It should limit others’ ability to buy and sell our information without our knowledge and consent. It should allow us to see information about us held by others, and correct any inaccuracies we find. It should prevent the government from going after our information without judicial oversight. It should enforce data deletion, and limit data collection, where necessary. And we need more than token penalties for deliberate violations.

The U.S Army Psyop enters the media through to CNN door!!!

Maj. Thomas Collins, U.S. Information Service has confirmed that "psyops" (psychological operations) personnel, soldiers and officers, have worked in the CNN headquarters in Atlanta. The lend/lease exercise was part of an Army program called "Training With Industry." According to Collins, the soldiers and officers, "... worked as regular employees of CNN. Conceivably, they would have worked on stories during the Kosovo war. They helped in the production of news."
When asked if the introduction of military personnel into a civilian news organization was standard operating procedure, one source said, "That question is above my pay grade ... but I hope so. It's what we do."
The CNN military personnel were members of the Airmobile Fourth Psychological Operations Group, stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. One of the main tasks of this group of almost 1200 soldiers and officers is to spread 'selected information.' Critics say that means dissemination of propaganda.

what is veriship??????

VERISHIP is a chip that can be implanted in your body,veriship's idea is to link the chip to the person’s medical records.The VeriChip Personal Identification System is a small radio frequency identification device (RFID) that is implanted into the human body.
* How much memory on this chip? Enough to get my full health record on it? How about my allergies and basic condition?
* How difficult is it to write to the chip? What about its security?
* How common will readers be?
* Who controls what gets written on the chip? Can it be hacked? Conversely, can it be accessed when needed?
* Can the chip be cloned? (Clone me, Doctor Memory!)

Current chips are nothing more than a number that needs to be tied to your personal records in some corp-government database. The next chips may have memory, possibly recording devices, to store your (deviant) thoughts for use against you, as a way to resurrect or clone you if you die or maybe write a final cut on the person's life.

US Army awards for best invention of Armory

Humvee Crew Extraction D-ring, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center at Redstone Arsenal, AL. Combat locks on the up-armored Humvee often get so damaged the doors can’t be opened when under fire – or under water. The D-ring provides solid anchor points for the hooks of a tow strap, chain or cable to pull open damaged doors. Or other innovative options like the 10th Mountain Division’s “Rat Claw.” The project was handled by a Fast Assistance in Sciences Team (FAST) that deploys to help Soldiers solve problems that can be resolved within 6 months.

A Different Kind of Net-Centric Warfare in Iraq

Defense Industry Daily’s mandate is clear, and summed up well in our motto “daily news for defense procurement managers and contractors.” In most cases, our coverage limits itself to the events and issues around contracts that have already been issued, and/or key issues of doctrine and policy that are related to defense procurement. We also include reports from the field that bring home useful information about equipment performance, and serve as a reminder of what’s really important: usefulness to the people on the front lines.


Sometimes, news from the front lines also highlights important trends and force structure issues that go beyond the performance of any one system. “(Lt. Col. David) Labouchere of Mesopotamia,” which covered that British commander’s successful mobile/Bedouin approach in Iraq, was one. Now Noah Shachtman of WIRED’s award-winning defense blog Danger Room has written another. In the wake of the discussions in defense departments and ministries around the world concerning “network-centric warfare,” events like Israel’s recent Winograd Commission post-mortem of the 2006 war in Lebanon, and the Nov 28/07 security pact involving 6,000 Sunnis in Hawija, Noah’s article offers important food for thought to policy-makers and procurement managers alike. In his words…



“It’s an attempt at explaining why we’ve seen such a drop in violence in Iraq in recent months, and why it took so long to see a shift. My short answer: the U.S. dropped its somewhat techno-centric approach to prosecuting the war—and started focusing on Iraq’s social, political, tribal, and cultural networks instead…. For the story, I scored a rare opportunity to spend time with a U.S. “psychological operations” team, getting into the heads of the people of Fallujah; hung out with an Army colonel who worked his tribal connections to bring stability to one of Iraq’s roughest towns; spent time with the heads of a controversial program to embed anthropologists into combat units; and interviewed General David Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Iraq.”
“How Technology Almost Lost the War: In Iraq, the Critical Networks Are Social – Not Electronic” is worthwhile reading as one contemplates the future of net-centric warfare as it is currently sold – and what it might be turning into.

Urban wireless to serve intel and PSYOP forces

Despite the high costs and unproven social benefits for municipal broadband, dozens of U.S. cities are ignoring laws banning anti-competitive practices and getting into the internet business.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Defense is planning to build robots that configure themselves into ad hoc wireless networks within urban areas.
City mayors claim they want to provide free and low-cost Wi-Fi access to the poor and attract business travelers. Defense planners say they need to have broadband capabilities in urban war zones.
But rather than closing the “digital divide” (which many academics admit is being exaggerated), or providing a redundant service to traveling salesmen, it appears that officials aim to seize control of internet communications and track individuals in urban areas.
Military and law enforcement agencies will also use the wireless networks to stage “hard PSYOP” attacks against a brain-chipped populace, according to historian and commentator Alan Watt, who specializes in secret societies and government intelligence operations.
Philadelphia, San Francisco, Houston, and Providence, R.I. are among the cities partnering with private companies and the federal government to set up public broadband internet access. Providence used Homeland Security funds to construct a network for police, which may be made available to the public at a later date.
None of the cities are expected to turn a profit anytime soon. Nor are the poor likely to benefit from the projects.
Subscribers to Philly’s “Wireless Philadelphia” service, for example, will pay up to 73 percent more than the rate promised to them two years ago.
“(Philadelphia) presented dangerously inaccurate estimates and figures for the costs and revenue” for its wireless network, according to a recent analysis by students at Harvard Law School.

Seeding: The DOD envisions soldiers dropping robots into cities. The robots will self-configure into what are known as “mesh networks.”
City officials have managed to line their own pockets, however.
Philadelphia’s former chief information officer, Dianah Neff (below, right), now works for Civitium, the consulting firm she paid $300,000 to help build Philly’s Wi-Fi network.
Denise Brady, San Francisco’s former deputy CIO, also took a position with Civitium after bringing the firm her city’s business.
San Franciscans might actually lose more than money to their city’s muni Wi-Fi scheme.
Google and Earthlink, the companies building San Francisco’s Wi-Fi network, want to place cameras and sensors atop lampposts at the same time they are installing their Wi-Fi antennae. The companies say they merely want to help police and emergency workers.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation and the ACLU have opposed such police/public proposals.
But even if the cities fail to complete their Wi-Fi projects, the military will be able to set up wireless networks within hours, perhaps even faster.
The DOD, which is in the middle of joint urban war-games with Homeland Security and Canadian, Israeli and other international forces, is experimenting with Wi-Fi networks it can set up on the fly.
According to a recent DOD announcement for contractors, soldiers will be able to drop robots, called LANdroids (below, left), when they arrive in a city. The robots will then scurry off to position themselves, becoming nodes for a wireless communications network. (Click here to download a PDF of the DOD announcement.)

The Wi-Fi antennae dotting the urban landscape will serve not only as communications relays, but as transponders that can pinpoint the exact positions of of individual computers and mobile phones–a scenario I described in the Boston Globe last year.
In other words, where GPS loses site of a device (and its owner), Wi-Fi will pick up the trail.
The antennae will also relay orders to the brain-chipped masses, members of the British Ministry of Defense and the DOD believe.
“We already are evolving toward technology implanting,” reads a 1996 Air Force report.
People, already conditioned to receiving biological agents such as flu shots in their bodies, will welcome brain chips that promise to help them control technology, the Air Force report says.
Indeed, Alan Watt believes one of the purposes of muni Wi-Fi and LANdroids will be to disseminate commands and propaganda directly into the human brain.
Tracking and control of information via wireless networks are just the beginning, Watt said. “The implanted chip will be the end goal.”

Machines are attacking humans… RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!

Source: Popular Mechanics
An armed military robot, known as SWORDS, was reportedly pulled of Iraqi battlefields practically at the last second:

Last year, three armed ground bots were deployed to Iraq. But the remote-operated SWORDS units were almost immediately pulled off the battlefield, before firing a single shot at the enemy. Here at the conference, the Army’s Program Executive Officer for Ground Forces, Kevin Fahey, was asked what happened to SWORDS. After all, no specific reason for the 11th-hour withdrawal ever came from the military or its contractors at Foster-Miller. Fahey’s answer was vague, but he confirmed that the robots never opened fire when they weren’t supposed to. His understanding is that “the gun started moving when it was not intended to move.” In other words, the SWORDS swung around in the wrong direction, and the plug got pulled fast. No humans were hurt, but as Fahey pointed out, “once you’ve done something that’s really bad, it can take 10 or 20 years to try it again.”

Cyberpunk not Dead

Cyberpunk... It has a certain ring, hasn't it? Well, it better. It's a fancy label which has been exploited and abused, but the fact remains: cyberpunk is one of the most explosive manifestations of futuristic fiction ever. It is basically a reinvention of science fiction in general, and dystopian fiction in particular.

It is often said that cyberpunk is dead, but that is far from true. It has just mutated: today, science fiction equals cyberpunk! Common science fiction themes like corporate dominion, monstrous urbanisation, terminal decay and environmental collapse, and likewise common concepts like cybernetics, cyberspace, mega-cities and mega-corporations — they are basically cyberpunk inventions. The impact of this obscure movement — given that it really is a movement — on science fiction can't be overestimated. Although the label might be obsolete today, the cyberpunk tradition continues to influence science fiction.

To understand more how PSYOP works and it's structure !

by Fahd

What is PSYOP?

A PSYOP is not specifically defined in this document but it does provide some insight into the wide ranging activities that are considered PSYOP.

"The customary position was that "public affairs informs, while public diplomacy and PSYOP influence." PSYOP also has been perceived as the most aggressive of the three information activities, using diverse means, including psychological manipulation and personal threats." [emphasis mine] - 26

"One result of public affairs and civil military operations is greater support for military endeavors and thus, conversely these activities can help discourage and dissuade enemies, which PSYOP does more directly with its own tactics, techniques and procedures." [emphasis mine] - 10

"PSYOP messages disseminated to any audience except individual decision-makers (and perhaps even then) will often be replayed by the news media for much larger audiences, including the American public." [emphasis mine] - 26

"A PSYOP force ready to conduct sophisticated target-audience analysis and modify behaviour with multi-media PSYOP campaigns featuring commercial-quality products that can be rapidly disseminated throughout the Combatant Commanders area of operations." [emphasis mine] - 63

"PSYOP products must be based on in-depth knowledge of the audience's decision-making processes and the factors influencing his decisions, produced rapidly at the highest quality standards, and powerfully disseminated directly to targeted audiences throughout the area of operations." [emphasis mine] - 6

"Better depiction of the attitudes, perceptions and decision-making processes of an adversary. Understanding how and why adversaries make decisions will require improvements in Human Intelligence (HUMINT) and open source exploitation, as well as improved analytic tools and methods." [emphasis mine] - 39

"SOCOM [Special Operations Command] should create a Joint PSYOP Support Element to coordinate Combatant Command programs and products with the Joint Staff and OSD [Office of the Secretary of Defense] to provide rapidly produced, commercial-quality PSYOP product prototypes consistent with overall U.S. Government themes and messages." [emphasis mine] - 15

"SOCOM's ongoing PSYOP Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration and modernization efforts should permit the timely, long-range dissemination of products with various PSYOP delivery systems. This includes satellite, radio and television, cellular phones and other wireless devices, the Internet and upgrades to traditional delivery systems such as leaflets and loudspeakers that are highly responsive to maneuver commanders." [emphasis mine] - 15

"PSYOP equipment capabilities require 21st Century technology. This modernization would permit the long-range dissemination of PSYOP messages via new information venues such as satellites, the Internet, personal digital assistants and cell phones:

- (U) PSYOP ACTD. Commencing in FY04, SOCOM [Special Operations Command] initiates an Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) to address dissemination of PSYOP products into denied areas. The ACTD should examine a range of technologies including a network of unmanned aerial vehicles and miniaturized, scatterable public address systems for satellite rebroadcast in denied areas. It should also consider various message delivery systems, to include satellite radio and television, cellular phones and other wireless devices and the Internet." [emphasis mine] - 65

Steampunk

Steampunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction which came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as dirigibles or analog computers; these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or a presumption of functionality.
Steampunk is often associated with cyberpunk and shares a similar fanbase and theme of rebellion, but developed as a separate movement (though both have considerable influence on each other). Apart from time period and level of technological development, the main difference between cyberpunk and steampunk is that steampunk settings usually tend to be less obviously dystopian than cyberpunk, or lack dystopian elements entirely.

EVENT FOR EXTENDED BODY AND WALKING MACHINE

A six-legged, pneumatically powered walkingmachine has been constructed for the body. The locomotor, with either ripple or tripod gait ,moves fowards, backwards, sideways and turnson the spot. It can also squat and lift by splaying orcontracting its legs. The body is positioned on a turn-table, enabling it to rotate about its axis. It has an exoskeleton on its upper body and arms. The left arm is an extended arm with pneumatic manipulator having 11degrees-of- freedom. It is human-like in form but with additional functions. The fingers open and close , becoming multiplegrippers. There is individual flexion of the fingers, with thumb and wrist rotation. The bodyactuates the walking machine by moving its arms.Different gestures make differentmotions- a translation of limb to leg motions.The body's arms guide the choreography of the locomotor's movements and thus compose the cacophony of pneumatic and mechanical
and sensor modulated sounds

Sarcos' military exoskeleton becomes a frightening reality.

Sarcos' military exoskeleton becomes a frightening reality have you been waiting for a legion of half-man, half-machine storm troopers to descend upon your city and blaze a round of hellfire in all general directions? If you said yes, that's kind of weird. At any rate, you can consider yourself one step closer to cyborg annihilation thanks to a company called Sarcos and its semi-scary exoskeleton -- which will make any regular old soldier into a Terminator-like killing machine (as far as we can tell). Sure, they demo the unit lifting heavy equipment and reducing fatigue of the user, but we know what this thing is really for -- and it doesn't involve food drops.

Chat with A.L.I.C.E

A.L.I.C.E

First of all i want to point out that it is very easy to start chatting with A.L.I.C.E,
and because it is a Robot or a Bot, it is likely that it knows more infos about Robots and Bots.
For a Bot, i think it can not talk about an issue or a subject with a sequence of ideas.
For example i asked It or Her about prequel and sequel it tought we have a lot in common, then i asked her about what is extension of body and mind she said it is a person it didnt know what it is or it couldnt give me the definition of it.
Once again i asked her, that in another chat with A..L.I.C.E, about Extansional she answered right and that is "ALICE: Yippee! "Extensional" refers to the extension of the set, i.e. the set of all things commonly grouped under a single name. The "extensional" definition of a robot is the set of all things
