Rendering Unto Caesar: Piercing the Pentagonian Corporate Veil
We had an incident at our test facility that gave us some insight into the way that American military priorities are established. A representative from the American military began to make noise about the intellectual propriety of neural wave technology. The man claimed the technology to be private property demanded monopoly status in its application and licensing. One of our guys pointed out that the military guy seemed to be more interested in protecting private investors from competition than in protecting American citizens from loose cannons on the martial deck.
One of the ironies about the issue is that some of the major investors in American military industries are not citizens of the US. Pentagonian personnel value the property rights of non-American investors at the expense of the rights of economically marginalized Americans of non-Roman religious affiliations. The Pentagonians clearly favor the artificial right of intellectual property over the more natural right to pursue happiness. They value the lives and experiences of affluent industrial investors more than those of the majority of Americans.
Military industrialists developed neural wave technology for use by organizations such as the CIA and the Pentagon. It has a wide range of civilian applications that make it desirable for general commercial use. The original patent holders stand to gain considerably from its civilian application. The problem that they face is that they need a legitimate governing entity in order to enforce their patent claims.
Pentagonia is not a truly American institution, nor is it under legitimate governmental oversight. It has long been an instrument of extra-American interests with a revolving door between military and industrial organizations. The top brass have more concern for the interests of non-American industrial investors than they have for those of Joe Sixpack or Jane Hockeymom. Eisenhower's warning about the military-industrial monster was on target.
What would you suggest as a solution to the thuggish brutality of the Pentagon? Do military investors deserve to profit from the hard work of civilian entrepreneurs? Were the founding padres on target when they said that a standing army is a threat to liberty?

It's bad enough that Capitol One can show up at your home or workplace uninvited but now, we'll be hearing Lawrence Fishburne asking "What's in your subconscious?" during otherwise relaxing nighttime viking adventures.

Numerous individuals suffering from auditory hallucinations or mental illness have claimed that government agents use microwave signals to transmit sounds and thoughts into their heads, referring to the technology as "voice to skull" or "V2K".[12] Extensive online support networks have sprung up for people fearing mind control. Psychologists are divided over whether such sites negatively reinforce mental troubles or act as a form of group cognitive therapy.[13]
This is glorious.

It does not surprise me that psychiatrists are concerned that people making such claims need to be treated for a supposed illness. Psychiatry has an abysmal track record of discriminating a simulated condition from one that is more natural. They have no test to determine if an individual is telling the truth when reporting about hallucinatory experiences much less distinguishing between a simulated and genuine experience.

What is also just as humorous is the way that people think that a guy living in a palace in Rome is the vicar of an ancient Jewish healer from a suburb of Sepphoris. The only thing more ridiculous is the notion that neural wave machines are not possible given what ignorant people know about the way the nervous system works.

Which test facility would this be?
A representative from the American military began to make noise about the intellectual propriety of neural wave technology
The American military works for us. In theory, it would belong to the American people. But that's a joke.
One of our guys
Who is "our" here?
protecting private investors from competition
Old as the hills. Where is his bread buttered?

True. Allies, supposedly, but this is not new news either.
Pentagonian personnel value the property rights of non-American investors
In what tangible way?
Eisenhower's warning about the military-industrial monster was on target.
What would you suggest as a solution to the thuggish brutality of the Pentagon?
Transparent governance.
Do military investors deserve to profit from the hard work of civilian entrepreneurs?
Are they patriots first or capitalists first? To which does their loyalty lie?
Were the founding padres on target when they said that a standing army is a threat to liberty?
We still have nukes ready to fly. I wonder what the answer to this question will be after we've let them go?

Military investors are selfish first, capitalists second, and patriots in name only.
