Send in the Reaper? Military Robots Are Here To Rule The World.

Pakistan is being terrorized, by us.

The Predator/Reaper drone missile attacks, the civilian deaths, and the ridiculous official denials have angered many, perhaps most, Pakistanis. And now I read that these killer drones are finding their targets through the most ridiculous means I have ever heard of. Wired reports:

“It sounds like a tinfoil hat nightmare, come to life: tiny electronic homing beacons, guiding CIA killer drones to their targets. But local residents and Taliban militants in Pakistan’s tribal wildlands say that’s exactly what’s happening. Tribesman in Waziristan are being paid to “plant the electronic devices” near militant safehouses, they tell the Guardian. “Hours or days later, a drone, guided by the signal from the chip, destroys the building with a salvo of missiles.”

Ten days later, 19 year-old Habibur Rehman made a videotaped “confession” of planting such devices, just before he was executed by the Taliban as an American spy. “I was given $122 to drop chips wrapped in cigarette paper at Al Qaeda and Taliban houses,” he said. If I was successful, I was told, I would be given thousands of dollars.”

But Rehman says he didn’t just tag jihadists with the devices. “The money was good so I started throwing the chips all over. I knew people were dying because of what I was doing, but I needed the money,” he added. Which raises the possibility that the unmanned aircraft — America’s key weapons in its covert war on Pakistan’s jihadists and insurgents — may have been lead to the wrong targets.

One much-disputed Pakistani media report claimed that the drones have killed hundreds of civilians, just to take out a few militants. That’s unlikely. But what’s indisputable is that the robotic planes (and the innocent deaths they’re alleged to cause) have become increasingly controversial, both in Pakistan and in America.

“Anti-U.S. sentiment has already been increasing in Pakistan… especially in regard to cross-border and reported drone strikes, which Pakistanis perceive to cause unacceptable civilian casualties,” Gen. David Petraeus, head of U.S. Central Command, wrote in a secret assessment, obtained by the Washington Post.”

“The offensive has sparked an exodus of 2.3 million people, according to provincial government figures, but about 200,000 people are believed to be still in the valley.” -News Daily. And this is not happening in remote mountains, this is happening in people’s homes. Real people’s homes.

In the Middle East these robots are already in use: this cute little guy’s called the TALON. He is one scary little bot, no?

Yes. This thing can be equipped to hold many different weapons like grenade launchers, machine guns, and sniper rifles. Say hello to crowd control in the 21st century, folks. Haven’t you heard? The DHS is extending the moniker of terrorist to Americans now. Here’s a PDF. No pity, no feeling, and the novelty wears off pretty quick when they’re used on you, I’m sure.

What? You’re not impressed by air-death drones and tiny gun wielding track bots? Okay, then how about the new motion technology coming out of Boston Dynamics?

One of the American military’s leading humanoid robots is Petman. Its job will be to testing chemical protection clothing for the U.S. Army. Petman is also being built by Boston Dynamics. Unlike earlier suit-testing robots, which needed external support, Petman will possibly surpass humans in balance. Don’t believe me? Check out:

Big Dog.

Yeah and most of these things can be controlled by a controller that looks like it came right off a playstation, like in this video:

Don’t think you’ll see these things as crowd control? Well I guarnatee you’ll see this one. The newest military crowd control device known as denial. The microwave gun:

We need to wake up people. If the economy keeps tanking, and the dollar decreases in value, unemployment rises, and the government starts seeing us all as a threat to their power, they will not hesitate to use this stuff on you and me.
