The scarcely reported on agency of government,DARPA, affiliated with the Pentagon and the Department of Defense, just might be the most dangerous apparatus of the US Military; especially when it comes to the safety of the American people and activists. The acronym of course stands forDefense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
It is from this agency that some of the most advanced weapons of war come. The list of technologies they developed is long; they engineered killer robotic dogs, remotely controlled weapons of war such as drones, and other technologies not disclosed to the public. At this point in DARPA’s military role, it looks like they have a fixation on weapons that can be remotely controlled, without any need for soldiers consenting to the morality of their battle.
The things they are developing are simply dangerous beyond comprehension.
Recently in a CBS news report, representatives of DARPA were interviewed about a search engine they are developing called ‘Memex’, designed to scan the darkest recesses of the deep web, and probably do a lot more than they say it’s capable of.
Without acknowledging any regard for the dangers of this power, the CBS article said,
Memex goes far beyond the realm of traditional search engines and gives law enforcement a powerful new tool to search the “dark web,” where criminals buy, sell, and advertise in the illegal weapons trade and sex trafficking.They claim the primary use of this search engine will be to catch human traffickers. However, if you are reading this, surely you know that DARPA exists to further the horizons of power consolidated in the US Government and Military-Industrial-Complex, not to keep us safe.
“The easiest way to think about Memex is: How can I make the unseen seen?” director of the information innovation office at DARPA said. “Most people on the internet are doing benign and good things,” he continued, “But there are parasites that live on there, and we take away their ability to use the internet against us — and make the world a better place.”
