Imagine the following scenario...

A large crowd has gathered legally and peacefully to protest the

current administration's policies. Within a short time, high 5-10K

above the crowd UAVs swarm providing remote sensing, imaging and a

platform for monitoring the people on the ground...sending this

information to government and military personnel and their

supercomputing centers...databases ready to receive as much

information on the participants as can be provided.

Soon after aerial robots are released in the hundreds -- small hardly

noticeable (or micro/camouflaged) devices programmed to autonomously

swarm and gather as much data about individuals in the crowd as

possible.

Real-time digital images are shot back to the large platform UAVs and

ground bases for instant analysis, entry into and comparison of this

information to personal information gathered on huge databases. These

supercomputers contain biometric identification, personal history,

medical records, financial information not only on individual

potential criminals and terrorists... but known political 'enemies' of

the administration...and ordinary citizens.

This is followed by the release of millions of tiny computer chips

called smart dust...or traceable polymer...or a variant of the RHID

chip....landing on the heads and shoulders of individual participants.

This release is an instant identification and tracking system as long

as these devices or polymers remain embedded in the skin, hair and

clothing of those attending this particular function.

Individual persons can be tracked to their cars, homes, jobs, friend's

homes...adding a bushel full of information to their data files. At

some point sensors that detect specific persons will be triggered by

this 'smart material'...in buildings, train stations, airports and

automatic searches at future 'security points'.

If this gathering of citizenry is deemed 'unruly' or is composed of

enough 'anti-elements' -- in addition to or in place of local law

enforcement non-lethal weaponry employed at the scene -- MAVs and

small UAVs can be mustered to release incapacitants or dispersal

agents (ranging from crowd dispersal tear gas to opiates and other

drugs designed to confuse, disorient or temporarily incapacitate)or a

variety of non-lethal 'crowd control' weaponry.

And with the human tracking system in effect, further individualized

harassment and physical monitoring can be employed upon those deemed a

'burden' to the regime....

With a growing number of less expensive unmanned vehicles filling our

skies in addition to the larger varieties such as the Predator and

unmanned helicopters and aircraft, surveillance and crowd 'influence'

and control via these devices is now a fact not a futuristic fantasy.

Tactical UAV systems, (eg., " Kentron,s Seeker " ), are currently being

deployed by law enforcement in South Africa for crowd monitoring and

urban surveillance. The Pakistan Army's Bravo tactical UAV is

currently used by for border patrol and law enforcement. KFOR uses

UAVs for persistent surveillance of borders. The CL-289, Phoenix and

Predator have been utilized some loaded with combat weaponry had been

used in war situation on a daily basis in Afganistan and Iraq.

UK law enforcement have studied the use of small VTOL UAVs with a

stills camera, daylight TV sensor and a live video downlink, for urban

surveillance and crowds...

Are UAVs and aerial robotry being used in the US in domestic

surveillance missions without public knowledge or complete

Congressional oversight?

The office of Homeland Security in conjunction with the Department of

Defense and law enforcement are utilizing UAVs (unmanned aerial

vehicles) and MAVs (micro air vehicles) to track and surveil U.S.

citizens... and the super databases and new internet structure is

nearing readiness to process the information provided by these

devices... in addition to all other information gathering systems that

are invading the private lives of U.S. citizens.

While smartdust (see article at http://tracers.8m.com/matrix), MAVs,

flying robots and UAVs play a central role in information/intelligence

gathering for war and domestic tracking/spying applications -- there

lies the vast infrastructure to this undertaking awaiting our

examination.

This Ultimate Matrix infrastructure consists of a massive globally

integrated and directed internet and communications network formerly

unknown to this planet -- linking not only the military world-wide --

but a vast array of research institutions and corporations...instant

real-time processing of data for scientific research and instant

government usage of this data.

A good example of the use of integrated supercomputer databasing is

the photographing and fingerprinting of international travelers to the

U.S. Millions of foreign visitors' profiles and personal information

(including biometric information) is now being fed into this huge

system -- not only for comparison to what small data gathered on

potential terrorists -- but for long-term tracking. This is the first

step in the process of feeding information about ALL persons --

including U.S. citizens.

The technology employed is astounding...brain-computer interfacing,

virtual immersive technologies, robotic control and vision

(multi-sensory devices), supercomputers intaking terrabytes of data

mined to produce simulations and modelling in addition to processing

information from distributed sensors...and information on every aspect

of the planet...from the environment to military operations to

individuals living their daily lives.

Sensors and robotry are needed for industry, space travel,

environmental monitoring, bio-chem-nuke tracing, etc. The problem

arises as they become more pervasive in both private and

government/military monitoring, tracking and non-lethal (potentially

lethal) control of individuals and groups.

A vast system now being organized to data mine information from

research scientists and provide simulations and modelling over the net

(the first 'publicly acceptable rung in the usage of these systems).

What is of great concern is the vast global communications systems

that now assist the military and homeland security in intelligence

gathering and integrated communications. It is of great concern that

this system can be used to unconstitutionally collect and distribute

information about law-abiding citizens. Where are the Constitutional

protections?

Within the rubric of " potential terroristic threat " like its " national

security " predecessor, this administration has been creating and

beginning installation of the Ultimate Matrix. This growing anathema

threatens to ensnare the entire population of the planet in a net of

surveillance, human tracking and super data gathering for an entirely

different purpose....one of total control.

Connected with this web of interlinking technologies, lines are being

systematically blurred between what is foreign intelligence gathering

and domestic... between military/defense operations and law

enforcement. The aim of the military (as stated in 'vision'

statements) is to utilize an army of aerial swarming

robotry/MAVS/smartdust to not only perform intelligent/reconnaisance

but to weaponize many with chemicals, drugs and other conventional and

exotic weaponry...to be used not only in combat situations -- but to

'assist' law enforcement which include a whole host of applications.

Non-lethal weaponry including chemical releases from UAVs has already

been tested and is likely already in use. This is in addition to the

low-flying 'private' aircraft rel easing toxic pesticides and other

chemicals into our already severely polluted air.

Fort Huachuca Arizona is interested in hosting the Department of

Homeland Security,s (DHS) planned UAV mission to improve surveillance

on the Southwest Border. (see

http://www.uvonline.com/cgi-bin/view?t=N & r=N/1764)

Law enforcement is being 'encouraged' to use UAVs in all manner of

activities including domestic surveillance...and deployment of

non-lethal weaponry is on the front burner...

In a paper entitled " Applications for mini VTOL UAV for law

enforcement " and Cycon {Space and Naval Warfare

Systems Center, San Diego amd Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation} bring it

clearly into view that the goal of the DOD and law enforcement is the

utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles and robotry for domestic

surveillance and control:

" ...A new capability has been demonstrated for the U.S. military that

shows great promise for aiding police agencies. This concept uses a

shrouded rotor, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), unmanned air

vehicles to provide mobility to sensors and other payloads. This

system can either perform surveillance ... or deliver and deploy

non-lethal agents...This paper...presents data on proof of concept

trials that have been conducted by the Department of Defense (DOD) on

a larger version of the system. "

See the following for more information on the use of incapacitants and

non-lethal weaponry (which can be deployed via UAVs/MAVs) for

individual or crowd control http://www.dtic.mil/ndia/NLD3/aba.pdf

http://www.sunshine-project.org/incapacitants/jnlwdpdf/dcsliquav.pdf

Kupfer, SF Chronicle Staff Writer writes that Pister

at University of California at Berkeley has developed " clouds of smart

dust could one day be used in an astonishing array of applications... "

" Smart Dust " is composed of .. " sophisticated sensors, tiny computers

and wireless communicators...As the motes drift on the wind, they can

monitor the environment for light, sound, temperature, chemical

composition and a wide range of other information, and beam that data

back to a base station miles away... "

Aerial robotry has reached such a degree of sophistication not only

can it sense all this...but has 'eyes' and 'ears' of its own. Computer

or robot vision (not only video cameras) -- provides the robot with

the ability to see on its own. Developed over the last few years

resulting from research of human visual systems and the visual

cortex... robots are well on the way to tracking humans through a

variety of environments and terrains, recognizing facial

characteristics, head and hand gestures and individual gait while

walking about...which can locate and identify anyone in a vast

integrated government database....

Anyone who has been fingerprinted, photographed, bought or sold with

credit cards, traveled (or has participated in groups seen as a

political 'threat' to this regime) ....can be the subject of 'target

recognition'.

And how will these programmable aerial robots, MAVs, electropolymers

and smart dust now being deployed in our atmosphere being used in

gathering information about individuals? With supercomputers ready to

take on terabytes of data... this technology is poised to provide the

information needed to control a plethora of individuals deemed

'anti-regime' thru misuse of information to harass or discredit...or

to apply various drugs and chemicals at opportune times and locations

thus neutralizing political challengers.

Is there any law at this time or that might be applied in the near

future that would utterly prohibit the use of these aerial devices

(and electronic weaponry, non-lethal incapacitants or mind control

technology) by 'security forces', law enforcement, private or

government intelligence agencies or private individuals or

corporations for human tracking, surveillance and individual or crowd

control? As the lines blur between foreign and domestic intelligence

agency activities an military-combat operations and domestic law

enforcement... using the 'war on terrorism' as a backdrop, Americans

and people all over the world must begin asking the right questions

and demanding answers for the survival of civil liberties on the

planet.

How can the American public be secured in their privacy and feel free

to exercise their democratic rights with this kind of technology

edging into their daily lives without restraint or regulation? A Broad

Line must be indelibly drawn now between legitimate data gathering and

military-war uses of these technologies and domestic spying and

control

Information about individuals and their daily lives is already feeding

into this vast new integrated super-database system -- financial,,

chargecards (soon to be Smart Cards), digital location/info containing

implants, smart tags on merchandise, security monitors

(facial/voice/gait recognition) and now bio secured entrance devices

at offices and universities.

These technologies are a burgeoning industry -- but must we allow all

technology and scientific discovery to spin out of our -- the people's

-- control? Are the clandestine objects (UAVs/Autonomous aerial

robotry) being released over the free skies from contrails by

governent/military agencies for the " public's good " ?

If so, why aren't these projects and programs being openly discussed

in the Congress, in the media? Are these monitoring/jamming/etc ONLY

for true security or environmental concerns-- or might they be also

monitoring 'we the people'?

Our civil liberties is not the only concern -- the health of the

public and the environment is at stake. One can add to the potential

'fallout' from the chemicals -- the 'waste products' and various

chemicals generated from the release of robotry and other 'smart'

devices falling upon the citizenry and the earth.

Space, air and ground-based operations are being globally integration

in a vast array of intercommunicative devices linking military

communications, atmospheric and oceanic monitoring (weather, climate

changes) and human tracking and monitoring. There is no longer a

distinctions between what is occurring above and below 60 miles high .

Satellites and other weapons platforms provide information,

communication, etc. in an interaction with UAVs, ground syst ems and

aerial swarming robotry -- these are total systems.

It is true that we need many of these sat/space systems for projects

that are aimed at gaining new insights into the atmosphere, oceans,

weather...and for limited military use. Satellites, radar, sensors,

etc. are useful until they infringe of the right of citizens to be

free in the privacy of their homes, associations and legal activities.

Much of the latest technology is helpful in the study of the

atmosphere and oceans, water cycles and monitoring agreements

including the elimination of nuclear weapons and other dangerous and

polluting technologies.

But if these devices are being used to assist or enhance robot-based

weaponry that could be used against US citizens -- should there not be

new legislation addressing this?

Our world is rapidly changing -- becoming increasingly totalitarian by

virtue of the new technology and the avarice of a few. Yet all the

global 'participants' appear to be caught up in the whirlwind of

achieving technological superiority through cooperative projects. Of

course, there are positive 'spin-offs' of this new technology

particularly in the health and space industry...and if it is used for

truly necessary security.

But the central goal of these interlocked projects is quickly becoming

transparent -- as the Total Control philosophy of this administration

gets played out in the control of space (military

intelligence/weaponry), the manipulation weather/environment, the

takeover of world resources and the ending of privacy and freedom in

our individual lives.

We in America have known a freedom never realized before on this

planet and cannot imagine this being taken from us. Yet the evidence

is now apparent as the implementation of this Vast Matrix grips our

world --the very heart of is democratic dream could be (without our

awareness and opposition to the unconstitutional usage of this

technology) evaporating in a cloud of supercomputer-connected sensors,

robotry and smartdust...
