Remember when 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner President Barack Obama bragged to his aides that he “is really good at killing people” in the book “Double Down” while discussing drone strikes. Well just how good is he? In the first video below, you'll learn that Obama has managed to kill innocent civilians in Afghanistan with a 90% success rate. And according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism Obama’s CIA Drone strikes have killed CHILDREN. Children folks…and our Commander in Chief is bragging about it.

The next time some liberal rattles on about how great Obama is remind them of this horrifying statistic. And now the Pentagon has finally issued a report made public by a FOIA request stating that “the unmanned military aircraft have been deployed “on non-military missions. The first video below just touches the tip of the iceberg with Obama and his kill list.

The following video highlights precisely what Alex Jones was warning people about almost a year ago. A year ago, what Alex talked about sounded far off and distant, and yet the very technology he talked about in his tirade above is now already here, just one year later. In recent weeks, news has come out about various Drone technologies not only being developed by the military, but being used by the United States government against its own people.

It’s technology straight out of a Star Trek movie. In the video below, Alex Jones takes a look at a program launched by the Pentagon’s research arm (DARPA) over a year ago intended to unite existing and future drones into “hives,” where individual autonomous aircraft will share data and operate together against targets on a battlefield — all while being controlled by one human… or eventually, one artificial intelligence program (SKYNET?)

Most of you will find the following video extremely disturbing.

Now, in an article by Activist Post, we find out that the “hive’ like mentality is alive and well in U.S. drones and actively being used. In an Op-Ed by Nicholas West

It is often forgotten how recently, and how quickly, drones have become commonplace. Not only are they a military staple in countries around the world, but after long speculation it was admitted by the Pentagon just days ago that, yes, drones are being used to spy on the American people.

As this technology rapidly develops, and as legislation keeps pace by allowing their increased use anywhere and everywhere, each advancement now must be received with a further sense of concern.

It was several years ago that I first wrote about micro-drones – miniature flying vehicles that are designed to be as small as an insect. These tiny drones would be “hidden in plain sight” with the ability to harvest energy from natural and man-made power sources. The Air Force admitted in the video below that they could enter houses and even commit assassinations after being dropped from military aircraft.

The following comes directly from DARPA's website:

"As drone expert, P.W. Singer said about microdrones, "At this point, it doesn't really matter if you are against the technology, because it's coming." According to Singer, "The miniaturization of drones is where it really gets interesting. You can use these things anywhere, put them anyplace, and the target will never even know they're being watched."

This has been the promise that the Air Force made quite clear in their video early last year about nanodrone tech that you can see below. According to the USAF, Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs), combined with the ability to harvest energy, will enable insect-sized drone swarms to be dropped from military aircraft to stay aloft for a prolonged amount of time, offering a host of functions, INCLUDING ASSASSINATION!

DARPA is now announcing a new wave of these microdrones under their Fast Lightweight Autonomy program. As the name indicates, they ideally would like humans to be completely removed from the control process."

So, here we are with the Pentagon’s most recent announcement about testing drone swarms that can be launched from fighter jets. Strangely, these announcements typically come from defense-related sites, or the videos appear directly on military YouTube channels; this latest one, however, has been given extensive treatment by The Washington Post in its article “Veil of secrecy lifted on Pentagon office planning ‘Avatar’ fighters and drone swarms.”

High over Alaska last summer, the Pentagon experimented with new, secret prototypes: Micro-drones that can be launched from the flare dispensers of moving F-16s and F/A-18 fighter jets. Canisters containing the tiny aircraft descended from the jets on parachutes before breaking open, allowing wings on each drone to swing out and catch the wind. Inch-wide propellers on the back provided propulsion as they found one another and created a swarm.

The experiment was run by the secretive Strategic Capabilities Office, a Pentagon organization launched in summer 2012 to figure out how to best counter growing strategic threats from China and Russia. The specifics of what the mini-drones can do are classified, but they could be used to confuse enemy forces and carry out surveillance missions using equipment that costs much less than full-sized unmanned aircraft. Video reviewed by The Washington Post shows the tiny aircraft, which weigh about a pound each, moving in packs and gaining situational awareness after sitting inert in the flare canisters. (Source)

The future of aerial combat is here with the U.S. military's successful test flight of one of six Boeing designed unmanned F-16s. The United States says the drones will be used to create the most realistic 'dog-fighting' pilot training exercises.

NOW, as you’ll learn below, the F-16 drone can release top secret micro drones launched from the flare dispensers of moving F-16s and F/A-18 fighter jets. Canisters containing the tiny aircraft descended from the jets on parachutes before breaking open, allowing wings on each drone to swing out and catch the wind.

The “secretive program” is called Perdix. Here is the test launch from an F-16 (itself potentially a drone):

One aspect of this video that is striking is how little detail there is and how unimpressive it is compared to other military promotional videos. Interestingly, the Pentagon was quick to admit that the release of this demonstration was part of a propaganda campaign to put America’s enemies on notice that this tech is out there.

(Defense Secretary Ashton) Carter’s disclosures raised some questions in the Pentagon about whether he had revealed classified information while previewing his 2017 budget. But in a rare interview, the director of SCO said the secretary sought a green light to disclose snippets of the mini-drone experiment in Alaska and a few other programs as part of a broader effort to get the attention of potential adversaries. (emphasis added)

While there is a very real global drone arms race (that the U.S. itself initiated) which now requires constant funding for capability upgrades, this video might actually be propaganda of a different sort; putting out something so unimpressive that it might lull other militaries – and the general public – into a false sense of how far along the U.S. military really is with their micro-drone program.

For example, please watch the next video that shows a projected battlefield for 2017, according to leading defense contractor General Atomics, then tell me that a toy with a parachute on it is a program worthy of being “veiled in secrecy.”

It seems that with each new announcement we run the risk of being conditioned to misunderstand the true state of military tech. Perhaps this latest video serves to reinforce that notion.

The fact that the Pentagon has just released a video, essentially through The Washington Post, might indicate an intent to establish the conditions that will make full-scale roll-out much more acceptable by giving us pause about what is really coming.

There is also a segment of the public who still have faith that if any of this is developed and used at all, it will be “over there” and not deployed in a town near us. However, combined with the Pentagon admitting that they have been using drones to spy inside the U.S., what should we expect the real future to look like?

What do you think is the reason for the Pentagon taking a high-profile stance regarding its micro-drone program? Please leave your thoughts in the comment section.

NOW LET’S EXAMINE SOME OF THE TECHNOLOGY BEING CREATED IN CONNECTION WITH NEW DRONE TECHNOLOGY…

STARTING WITH FULLY AUTONOMOUS KILLER DRONES THAT DO NOT NEED HUMAN PERMISSION TO KILL…

InvestmentWatchBlog Reports:

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is developing a new microchip that when implanted into a drone will make it capable of learning in real-time, without the need for human analysis.

The Pentagon say that the chip, known as ‘Eyeriss’, is small enough to fit inside a wide range of mobile devices, has 168 cores (in comparison to smartphones which have 4 cores) and has been modeled on the human brain.

They say that the drones, when equipped with this new technology, will be able to strike targets in war zones without the need for human assistance.

AND IT HARDLY STOPS THERE…

You simply can't even make this stuff up it's so twisted. Call me the old fashioned guy in the room, but I still prefer anything shooting at human beings to have a human being controlling it, not an artificial intelligence program. Unfortunately, DARPA didn't bother to consult what I thought prior to announcing their new autonomous killer drones, only the latest in a long line of very sketchy technological developments recently.

In a previous post titled, NSA Actually Has Program "SKYNET" and It Might Be Labeling Innocent People As Terrorists, using all the videos in the post it went into extreme detail about the artificial intelligence software that was used this past summer by the military's “Operation Jade Helm.” The artificial intelligence software for Operation Jade Helm.came from a company called, “Palantir,” which is run by the head of the Bilderberg Steering Committee, Peter Thiel. Sound bad? Just wait, it gets worse.

Palantir is not only run by the head of the Bilderberg Steering Committee, but it was funded by the CIA. What is not known, is whether Bilderberg Chief Peter Thiel asked the CIA to fund and build the software for Bilderberg first, or if the CIA funded and built the software, and then later asked Thiel to run it. Either way, the CIA’s Frankenstein-like program is being run by the New World Order’s Top Henchman, using YOUR tax dollars, and its primary function is to direct the positioning of military assets. Furthermore, during Jade Helm and other more recent “training exercises,” the software admittedly uses American citizens as pawns.

Am I the only one who finds it just a little bit strange that now the US military is using artificial intelligence software that goes by the name “SKYNET,” and was developed by a group of world elites whose stated goal is to depopulate the earth down to 500 million people? Sorry, I am VERY bothered by that.

With most of the stories I cover, if they are viewed in a complete vacuum, many of them look relatively innocuous enough. I get that. Guess what though… none of these stories exist in a vacuum, so to not look at them in a broader context, and with other available information would be asinine. This story about DARPA’s new autonomous drones  is the exception, because even in a vacuum its disturbing as hell., but let’s examine what else we know. anyway.

In the video below, Alex Jones takes a look at a new program launched by the Pentagon's research arm (DARPA) intended to unite existing and future drones into “hives,” where individual autonomous aircraft will share data and operate together against targets on a battlefield — all while being controlled by one human… or eventually, one artificial intelligence program (SKYNET?)

At the end of the article below, the author states, “Elsewhere, Google is using artificial intelligence to deliver more accurate search queries using a system called RankBrain.” Once again, when the statement is viewed in vacuum, it seems harmless enough right? WRONG! In another previous post titled, Prepare to be Microchipped – This is Not a “Request.” the article reviews the “unhealthy” relationship between DARPA and Google. About two years ago, former DARPA chief Regina Dugan left DARPA to become Google’s new Director of Research and Development for their “special projects” division, the same research and development program I might add, that has developed and is pushing FDA Approved Ingestible RFID Chips.

Ready for things to get real awkward? Recall that above I mentioned how the head of the artificial intelligence software company used by the US military is also Bilderberg henchman Peter Thiel. Guess who was at this past year’s 2015 Bilderberg Meeting? Regina Dugan from Google was there, and at that meeting, The Hot Topic Was Google’s Ingestible RFID Microchips.

NOW. let’s start connecting some dots. Ingestible RFID chips are not the only questionable technology Google's Research and Development Department is working on. You can examine two of the other more “disturbing” technologies being developed by Google's Regina Dugan in the post titled, Why is Google Creating Machines to Hunt Humans?

One of those machines is named Spot. Spot was developed by Boston Dynamics (which Google bought in 2013) with help from Foster Miller, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Harvard University Concord Field Station.Development, and is funded by the DARPA Defense Sciences Office. Spot is a four-legged robot designed for indoor and outdoor operation. It is electrically powered and hydraulically actuated. Spot has a sensor head that helps it navigate and negotiate rough terrain, and Spot weighs about 160 lbs. Spot can even shake off a human kicking him while trying to escape (even on ice). Doesn’t that sound wonderful? Look at the machines evolution below:

In addition to Spot, Google-owned Boston Dynamics is also now testing its ATLAS humanoid robot outdoors, which led to this incredibly creepy footage below. I’m sure you’ll be very comforted to know the new humanoid robot can even hunt down humans in the woods.

Do you see where all this is going? With the looming global currency reset, the European Central Bank’s President recently disclosed that he is strongly considering phasing out the 500 euro note. Everywhere around the globe, there is a push for a cashless society. In a recent post titled, The New World Order's Ban on Cash is Coming Soon… Prepare To Be Microchipped, it says the following:

This is starting to become very concerning.

The momentum to “ban cash”, and in particular high denomination notes like the 500 euro and $100 bills, is seriously picking up steam.

On Monday the European Central Bank President emphatically disclosed that he is strongly considering phasing out the 500 euro note.

Yesterday, former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers published an op-ed in the Washington Post about getting rid of the $100 bill.

Prominent economists and banks have joined the refrain and called for an end to cash in recent months.

Imagine fully autonomous killer drones in the sky above you (as explained in the article below), and technology like Google’s Man-hunting Machines on the ground both simultaneously hunting you because they know your exact location thanks to an ingestible RFID chip you will be forced to ingest if you want to buy goods or services in this world. We’re not talking about all this happening “someday,” or 50 years from now either. All of this is technology exists right here, and right now, so we best be very mindful of the government that controls it, and the people we send to government.

If you think all the technology already mentioned sounds creepy, the Fully Autonomous Killer Robots Being Used By South Korea to Patrol the DMZ are absolutely horrifying. In South Korea, a Samsung Group subsidiary has worked on a robot sentry that they call the SGR-A1, and this particular robot will carry a fair amount of weapons that ought to make you think twice about crossing the border between North and South Korea illegally.

The SGR-A1, which is currently being tested at the demilitarized zone along the border with its neighbor, North Korea. can autonomously detect, fire, and hit targets up to TWO MILES AWAY using a combination of “machine vision,” heat, and motion sensors.

Finally, it’s worth noting that in addition to discussing the details of the US military’s artificial Intelligence capabilities in the post titled, The NSA Actually Has an Artificial Intelligence Program Called ”SKYNET,” and It Might Be Labeling Innocent People As Terrorists, that post also discusses the giant pink elephant in the room: Calling the artificial intelligence software “SKYNET.”

Anyone who is not familiar with the Terminator movies may not realize just how absurdly distasteful it was for the US government to call their software “SKYNET.” After all, the head of the software company named Palantir is top Bilderberg henchman Peter Thiel. Bilderberg, is of course an Illuminated secret society that believes the world needs to be reduced to a total global population of only 500 million.

In the Terminator movies, the basic storyline is set in the future, and “what’s left” of humanity struggles to survive as they battle machine-made cyborgs that are built and controlled by “SKYNET,” a “self-aware artificial intelligence super computer” that started Armageddon by launching nuclear weapons once it viewed humans as a threat to its existence. There's a very sick irony in all that.

InvestmentWatchBlog Reports:

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is developing a new microchip that when implanted into a drone will make it capable of learning in real-time, without the need for human analysis.

The Pentagon say that the chip, known as ‘Eyeriss’, is small enough to fit inside a wide range of mobile devices, has 168 cores (in comparison to smartphones which have 4 cores) and has been modeled on the human brain.

They say that the drones, when equipped with this new technology, will be able to strike targets in war zones without the need for human assistance.

Dailymail.co.uk reports:

For instance, a drone powered by Eyeriss could alert soldiers on the ground once it has identified a target.

This would make it potentially more efficient than human teams scrutinising imagery, a desirable technique in modern warfare.

The chip has been developed by researchers at the MIT in alliance with Darpa, the Pentagon’s advanced science research department, as well as graphics chip firm Nvidia.

Neural networks are usually made using graphics processing units (GPUs), chips found in all computing devices with screens.

These brain-like artificial intelligence systems depend on large, multi-core graphics processors to work, which aren’t practical for mobile devices.

This latest breakthrough is the first time scientists have managed to shrink down the technology so that it relies on lower power and can be implemented into smaller devices.

Researchers at MIT said Eyeriss is 10 times as efficient as a mobile GPU, so it could also enable mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to run powerful artificial-intelligence algorithms locally, rather than having to upload data to the cloud for processing.

This would help to speed up apps because the chip has its own memory, and keep the amount of work to a minimum, meaning your future handset wouldn’t rely so heavily on the internet.

‘Deep learning is useful for many applications, such as object recognition, speech, face detection,’ said Vivienne Sze, a professor at MIT’s department of electrical engineering and computer science whose group developed the new chip.

‘Right now, the networks are pretty complex and are mostly run on high-power GPUs.

‘You can imagine that if you can bring that functionality to your cell phone, you could still operate even if you don’t have a Wi-Fi connection.

For years, engineers have developing ‘deep neural networks’ designed to mimic our minds and Google recently made its research in this field open to the public with the release of TensorFlow.

Machine learning and AI is being used to make searching more accurate, and Google hopes that by releasing TensorFlow, this software will become even more advanced and widespread.

Last year it also revealed a set of images to help explain how its systems learn over time. It showed how the system learns and what happens when it gets things wrong.

The images were created by feeding a picture into the neural network, and asking it to emphasise features it recognised – in this case, animals.

Google trains an artificial neural network by showing it millions of training examples and gradually adjusting the network parameters until it gives the classifications the team want.

The network typically consists of 10 to 30 stacked layers of artificial neurons. Each image is fed into the input layer, which then talks to the next layer, until eventually the ‘output’ layer is reached.

The network’s ‘answer’ comes from this final output layer.

In doing this, the software builds up a idea of what it thinks an object looked like.

Elsewhere, Google is using artificial intelligence to deliver more accurate search queries using a system called RankBrain.
