This site has some interesting stuff and lots of links to more stuff. Some of it might be a bit tin foilish but I found the IAO site particularly interesting.

Saw this a few weeks ago. Can't believe they quietly worked Poindexter back into "public service" without so much as a whimper out of our media.

I thought this was a gag! I can't believe that site is real, but there is "DARPA" in URL. That logo looks like something out of '50's movie.

A "B" movie. That's what life is becoming...

Collaboration and sharing over TCP/IP networks across agency boundaries
Large, distributed repositories with dynamic schemas that can be changed interactively by users
Foreign language machine translation and speech recognition Biometric signatures of humans
Real time learning, pattern matching and anomalous pattern detection
Entity extraction from natural language text
Human network analysis and behavior model building engines
Event prediction and capability development model building engines
Structured argumentation and evidential reasoning
Story telling, change detection, and truth maintenance
Business rules sub-systems for access control and process management
Biologically inspired algorithms for agent control
Other aids for human cognition and human reasoning

In the right hands, tolerable. In the wrong hands, abominable.

Is this thing up and running, or is this website just a 'trial balloon?'

[justsomedude]

Wow. Sounds like one of those low budget Christian 'end times' movies...

[justsomedude]

yeah. reality is beginning to look a little tin-foilish, isn't it?

[justsomedude]

I had pretty much sworn off the conspiracy stuff but so much of it so compelling...I mean, when Gorbachev and Strong go on record calling the Earth Gizmo a 'new ten commandments,' it's hard not to smell fish.

I hope it meets with the same inauspicious fate that the real Ten Commandments have (or 'had') in official US circles.

It's over. Kiss your liberties good bye. It's only a matter of time now....

is this weird or what?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- In what the government describes as a bizarre coincidence, one U.S. intelligence agency was planning an exercise last September 11 in which an errant aircraft crashed into one of its buildings. But the cause wasn't terrorism -- it was to be a simulated accident...

I'm sorry for hijacking your thread. It's just that one astounding thing led to another...I feel like all these totalitarian mushrooms have sprung up overnite...

tangentially related:

Many Providence residents have taken Cianci's misdeeds in stride, especially since they coincided with a rebirth of the city, with new parks, a thriving arts scene and a sprawling new downtown mall.

Bread and Circuses.

Hell, DARPA created the Internet (sorry, Al). We wouldn't be here if it weren't for them.
