Air Force: ‘Overwhelm Enemy Cognitive Abilities’ with Bioscience
November 5th, 2009A steady diet of toxic food and World of Warcraft would work.
Via: Wired:
The Air Force is looking to harness advances in bio-science so they can “degrade enemy performance and artificially overwhelm enemy cognitive abilities.” It’s all part of a $49 million dollar bio-research effort unveiled last month by the Air Force Research Lab’s “Human Effectiveness Directorate,” and it’s the latest in a series of out-there military ideas to mess with adversaries’ heads.
Your ever-so-compact comment is priceless, Kev.
Between the KFC & Burger King franchises on all those “forward installations” already serving up pollution on a sesame bun and super-sized toxic loading in a cardboard cup, you’d think they already had enough answers to these questions.
Then they could roll those easy millions (what twisted s**t did your tax dollars do today?) into something more practical like data gathering centers capable of handling all the real-time tracking data they’re culling from the wires and the waves in their shiny new Anglo-Dystopian panopticon. Where you ring up a monthly tab for the privilege of becoming “connected”.
Of course, anyone who’s pulled their head from the local dune already knows those data centers are currently under construction — and that this is simply another public “rollout” of a once-surreptitious campaign waged for years with black ops money that’s finally going on the declared budget. Change you can believe in.
“…and the mighty Wurlitzer keeps on playin’ the same old tunes, so you might as well stick your head back in the dunes…”
(FYI, that’s cribbed from one of the lyrics I’m working up right now for the new blues trio, with a working title of “America the Dangerous”… =)
