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?

I had a spooky dream once where a narrator was saying that in order to boost the U.S. economy, the NSA would be broadcasting commercial interruptions into our dreams every seven and a half minutes.

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.

Sure.

Hey, I was hoping to learn more about those neural wave machines, and my prayers have been met!

I've been feeling the same about most of your posts through the years, so there it is.

Conspiracy theories

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.

Thanks for that. The New York Times has a long article about this phenomena. "Sharing their demons on the web." (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/13/fashion/13psych.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0)


For people who say they are the target of mind control or gang stalking, there may be enough evidence in the scientific literature to fan their beliefs. Many sites point to MK-ULTRA, the code name for a covert C.I.A. mind-control and chemical interrogation program begun in the 1950s.

Recently the sites have linked to an article published in September in Time magazine, “The Army’s Totally Serious Mind-Control Project,” which described a $4 million contract given to the Army to develop “thought helmets” that would allow troops to communicate through brain waves on the battlefield. And the users of some sites have found the support of Jim Guest, a Republican state representative in Missouri, who wrote last year to his fellow legislators calling for an investigation into the claims of those who say they are being tortured by mind control.

Just so long as these Psykers are surrounded by Geller Fields, we should be OK. Last thing we need is a bunch of Khorniacs popping out of an unshielded Psyker. :P

We had an incident at our test facility

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?


some of the major investors in American military industries are not citizens of the US.

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?
