Revolution in Military Affairs: From Computer Generated Insurgents to Bioelectric Implants
posted 05/07/2008, 4:30 AM (Old-Thinker News)
[Category: Commentary]
In July of 1994 the U.S. Army War College Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) produced the paper titled Revolution In Military Affairs And Conflict Short Of War that uncannily forecasted the future in a "hypothetical future history" written in the year 2010. The hypothetical situation contains many disturbing predictions, several of which have come true, some partially. After a series of terrorist attacks, foreign policy "fiascos" and various disputes between "supporters of multinational peace operations" and "isolationists", a small number of "revolutionaries" recruits members in all branches of the U.S. government and shift American foreign policy to a practice of pre-emption. Computer generated insurgents claim responsibility for attacks that U.S. forces carry out, pharmaceutical drugs are used as a part of national security strategy, "attitude shaping campaigns" are directed against the American people, traditional boundaries between military and law enforcement are abolished, subliminal conditioning is used in combination with propaganda, and bioelectric tags are implanted in citizens. By 2010 the revolutionaries' goals were met.
All of this will likely sound eerily familiar to followers of current events, or for that matter anyone who lived to see the events of September 11th 2001, its resulting wars, and its truly "revolutionary" effects in the reorganization of government and law. The Bush administration's signature legislation, the Patriot Act, has infringed on multiple sections of the Bill of Rights and Constitution. Posse Comitatus, which has protected Americans from the military engaging in domestic law enforcement since 1807 was reversed when the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 was passed last year.
