I have seen all those plans for sale at information unlimited, those are mostly expensive toys, just like their flash lamp laser, a lot more hype that real output, and their prices are crazy, their sold to people who can't figure out how to build their own.

Speed limiters will not be set at 55 or 70, they want us to exceed the posted limit, it's a multi billion dollar revenue stream.

But our days of freedom are in question.

We may not be allowed to tamper with our cars fuel air mapping or limiters as they are calling it intellectual property of the automaker, and much is mandated by the fed.

So far emissions limits and fuel economy mandates drive much of our automotive technical innovation.

Included in all this for our own good and that of the environment comes legislation that basically says we can buy it and drive it, but we can't tamper with their controls, this is all being hashed out as we go and there will always be waivers for those who can pay, you want a little freedom, you must pay for it.

Meanwhile China makes plans to build the worlds largest super collider and a new higgs boson factory, proton collider, ect...China is investing in the future, we are headed the way of Europe.
Having certain knowledge may be illegal, certain types of speech may be illegal, we have half a country of mouth breathers that buy the hype and are willing to be taken care of, willing to give up freedom for perceived security.

Less freedom, more taxes, political royalty and if you are wealthy or connected enough down the chain of dukes and sires you can have a little more leeway that the masses of wage slaves, it seems to be where we are headed.

Just my opinion, how fast will things change, probably faster and faster, as much as we stand by and let it happen it will.

When machines can reliably be set to go do the killing we will no longer have the safeguard we have now, that is our military and police are our families, there are a lot of variables, but the underlining theme is control of many by a few.

I forgot to mention that in Virginia, they have personal property tax on your car. It used to be pretty high. It is not so bad now. However, you have to have a county sticker in order to park. The cruisers go around from parking lot to parking lot looking for missing stickers.

In MD, they don't have PPT. However, they have rape and pillage private toying. If your registration or inspection is out of date you get hit twice. First you might get towed by the private folks the apartment complex hires. Then, you get fined by your local constabulary!

The private company that works in my complex is staffed by retired or off duty Montgomery County police. The towing company has the same video surveilance plate sniffing cameras that the state police have...you know, the cameras on the trunk both left and right.

That said, I do have to say that I really like the Montgomery County Police. For the most part, they don't nickel and dime you...really....I have never seen anything like this. Just recently I was really tired and went through a blinking red light which is realy dangerous. The officer said, when I run your license, I am not going to find a lot of moving violations. I told him that he wouldn't. He just told me to be careful. They actually save their energy for real crime...something interesting and unusual!

In Fairfax Virginia, they will lock you up for looking funny!

Thx Andrew124, I have also come across an officer that makes up for all the ones that I believe have done me wrong. I am in no way anti authority but living in MA like some other states you mentioned it just seems they go by their own rules. Like I said I was looking out the window one day (well a few times) and it was comical! and they always seem to target the older cars even though they are fully in the rules like brand new car owners dont brake the law. The thing is my whole family uses the same ins company has been for years (Plymouth Rock) so changing companys at this point would be kinda a hassle. I will call and see if anything can be done as my driving record was very good, yes its a business but I feel they mabey they should do something. Long story short its worth a try like you said. Watching that show parking wars in some states even meter maids have the power to give tickets to expired insp stickers and ive seen those plate cameras on the city booters van that lights up and has that piercing noise when it gets a hit! Lets see what happens. Thx If I lives in Fairfax with my face ide be locked up for life

Powerful and reliable AI's will be here in the next several years. Something like the Cylons and Terminators from Sci-Fi may soon be fighting our wars, I think they are now unavoidable, so we should probably have them first and have more of them than anyone else.

This probably isn't the thread to bring this up but since you mention it I will. The reason China will be building the worlds largest super collider is not just for particle physics research. There is now both a military and technological application that you probably don't want to know about. You might be aware that antimatter is by far the most difficult and expensive substance to make. Capturing and containing a small quantity of antiprotons is no small thing either. There are no more than several particle accelerators in the world capable of producing antiprotons, it takes a lot of energy.

A few months ago I heard on a radio show someone saying that one of our countries top nuclear weapons designers had quit his job because their research was making it possible to create suitcase or smaller size thermonuclear weapons (H-Bombs) and he didn't want to be a part of it. Well I thought this just isn't possible, I know the basics of the design of an atomic bomb as well as a fusion device and they use an atomic bomb as the primary device to create a tritium detonation, this makes it impossible to make it that small, and far from something you could lift and carry.

It turns out that a tiny amount of antiprotons with an explosive yield less than a firecracker will produce enough heat to cause a fusion reaction. It is now possible to make a solid state device that can safely contain the antiprotons and inject them into adjacent material with no moving parts.

This could possibly lead to some important technological developments, it could lead to fusion reactors or fusion drives for spacecraft. Unfortunately it will also lead to the deployment and use of 4th generation nuclear weapons.

If you are tech savvy enough to understand this and its implications, then here is a video from almost 2 years ago explaining 4th generation nukes. The video is 15:08, the most important part is in about the last 3 1/2 minutes. If you get scared or depressed easily then do not watch.

Suitcase and low yield nukes have been possible for a long time.
A much smaller than critical mass amount of weapons grade plutonium 235 or other isotope is compressed in the PIT by extremely high speed chemical explosives, this allows a very small amount of 235 to be used to initiate the secondary reaction such as releasing energy from deuterium.

But I have no doubt that the race is on and for cold fusion, actually the Chinese moon probes are really ascertaining helium 3 concentrations for possible future mining operations.

Materials science and energy production are a big part of the research, but if antimatter could be used to initiate a non contaminating gamma ray bomb, that could be very useful, it could do what people thought the neutron bomb was supposed to do. Kill all the people and leave the land livable.

Well, I give up, I won't even try to come up with something you have not seen before lol I first came upon them in the 80s when I got a hold of the Loompanics catalog. I am sure you remember Michael Hoy. And of course Paladin Press. Lots of interesting stuff before the age of the Internet.

I purchased a Tesla kit from them back then...yes, overpriced...but interesting. I suspect you are also familiar with United Nuclear.

It is interesting how much energy countries put into killing each others people. It a tenth of the energy was used for peaceful purposes, what could be accomplished!

@ Cowboy. I am sure you remember the tempest over Hitman. Supposedly, it was written by a Florida housewife.

One thing I get a laugh out of is the NRA and everyone who cites protection from our government with respect to the second amendment. It is not that I discount it. I with our man TJ who felt that we might have a revolution here every 20 years.

The problem is that when you think about it, even if you have some NFA stuff like a couple of Browning .50s, that is no match for what the government has. What do you think the Founding Fathers would say if they say an Abrams Tank!? So, gizmos that shoot bullets are kind of like having a pea shooter when you think about it.

I am sure your remember back in the 90s there was that study where they asked I think it was guardsman, whether they would ever if ordered fire upon American citizens. We already got a taste of what might happen with Katrina.

I disagree with this. All federal law enforcement and state, county, and municipal police combined are out numbered about 400 to 1, and our military along with a coalition of other countries, with all their advanced technologies can't successfully occupy a country the size of California. If there were ever the need for a revolution here in the U.S. the government could never win, they would only continue to loose people. Even with tanks, UAV's, satellites, night vision, the country is much too large, we are also the most well armed population on earth, it's also easy to make an IED and in case you didn't know, even a crossbow can kill someone wearing body armor. I also have hope that many people in the military and in law enforcement are still patriotic Americans and would not be traitors.

Alan

A lot of people won't stand up against what's happing even right now.

Imagine when their internet, cellphone, and electricity stop working.
Pretty soon their cars won't start either unless Uncle Sam enables them.

How much emergency water, food, necessities do you have?
How much do you think they have?

So many people will give in, right now half the country will sell their souls for the promise of a handout.

Yes our safeguard is that our military/police are our families.

But what happens when like drone jets out perform humans, robotic infantry out perform humans and they follow any command.

How about when we are all infected with nano bots that make us sick as dogs at the push of a button?

Technology has not defeated the strength of numbers/gorilla warfare riflemen, but it soon may.

I wish what you say were true. However, I live in the belly of the beast so to speak. Webster Tarpley, author of Synthetic Terror happens to live in the area. He has commented on the fact that nation wide, less than 30% of the population are open to even hearing a discussion about the forensics "the what" of 9-11 let alone the "who." It is not that many people here work for the government, they are just like the rest of the nation...sheep. In early 2003 I wrote a long article entitled, "A Nation of Sheep, Asleep," which gave the history of the Iranian nuclear program, our history with Iraq, and why we should not go to war. It was never published because who am I but some shmuck doctor. The reason for the title was because I also discussed the fact with plenty of quotes, that the Founding Fathers particularly TJ, knew that the success of the nation would depend upon the vigilance of the people themselves. That was something they could neither control nor predict. (Just ask around you and see if you can find a single person who knows that Kuwait was slant drilling into Iraq's elephant well and that April Glaspie, US Ambassador to Iraq, virtually gave Hussein acarte blanch pass to invade Iraq.)

Sadly, history has shown that American citizens are anything but vigilant. They have continuously failed to recognize Hegelian dialectic ops when the government plays them. The shock doctrine played out perfectly on 9-11. Just look at Katrina. The gun grab was successful. Of course, there is the following instance in which the individual in question was known to be a highly dangerous terrorist:


Even for those who think they are relatively ready, when they come and grab the neighbor's guns, and we are all alone with our AR-15 or for most Americans with a piece, a wheel gun or Glock, are we going to make a stand when our window is smashed, a flash bang thrown in, and they break our door down and 5 big guys in an assault posture formation come crashing through.

Hmmm. maybe there is a place for having a couple of NUBM44 based lasers at the ready:fightin::fightin::fightin:

How the Military Would React to a Tea Party Rebellion-Forbes

Hey, Redcowboy, I think its getting close to the time we need to setup a perimeter. I know those Georgia boys are not going to bend over like the wimps in DC. lock and load:gun::gun:

Don't know if anyone mentioned it yet but you can take the 5 or so hour online driving safety course for some reduction in points and insurance (at least in N.Y.) Anyone on my policy has to do it every couple years. I think it only cost $25.
It is one very boring course. You can't move onto the next page until a timer counts down otherwise it would likely take 2 hours.

Considering how Congress just passed CISA, I feel that America has already set its path into a nightmare. The fact that 74 US Senators agreed to pass a bill on something which will prevent you free speech, it seems too likely that something similar will happen to the UK. Take note that the capital of the UK, London; is one of the most heavily watched places on earth, with each security camera accounting for 11 people; we have already dug ourselves a hole.

This registration of drones is a drop in a bucket in our increasingly watched lifestyle. Companies like Comcast and Facebook are lobbying Congress to pass CISA. These companies want CISA for the legal immunity, and the Intelligence community wants it to get more data on people’s Internet communications. This bill will give more power to the people who don't deserve it, like a bunch of greedy kids who keep asking for more, and more. We can't even do much to prevent such laws being passed, as politicians only care about getting voted in; and that these baby boomers don't understand what to do with the technology that we have. They are paranoid, and don't see what they are doing is wrong. Fundamentally, our privacy will be gone; except in small societies where they are socially outcasted, as people will think this is normal. I can give you a better example, the blocking of certain bands on shortwave.

Shortwave is a right that we should all have, and yes; if people transmit, it could endanger lives. But that is a small could, for the more likely agenda for governments to block the transmitting of small radios is to remove the hassle of anti-government speech because it takes too much money to jam a station continuously.

But I digress, soon drones are going to be taken away; then lasers, and then later on, our right to privacy and free speech. Hopefully, this newer generation can make the governments of the world to snap out of it. As, collecting data isn't the solution; but the unification of human resources to be put to better things.

Dreadnought out :beer:

It's just that 67% of Americans are too politically correct!!!

@ Andrew
Right now we are making it easy for them.
All of us patriots who have spoken out are on list A and we will be singled out first. Probably while getting out of your car at the Wal-Mart parking lot.

But speaking out is what we must do, informing the sleeping masses, spreading knowledge, the true power of liberation is knowledge and if I die for standing up for our freedom then I have died well, FXXK them, I will not cower and bend over for fear of death, we are all going to die!

Now if a person was to choose to defend his home against much superior invaders, even a gas mask with laser shades glued over the lenses and ceramic body armor, earplugs, fortified positions, remote laser countermeasures and the best of everything will only turn a very short life expectancy into a slightly longer last few minutes of defiance, that's if you even get a knock on the door, these words I type right now may deny me even that as an A list outspoken non compliant.

Even the quiet patriot who could utilize the full extent of the element of surprise would not last long.

Technology will allow the bastard army of gestapo to see the threat behind the walls and deploy a wall penetrating disabler before most see it coming.

It won't be all at once, it will be one here and one there, media blackout, the person was a domestic terrorist, sleeping masses.

Also many people have children at home and they will not pull a ruby ridge or Waco.

No, it will take the strength of numbers and buried supplies to mount a gorilla type resistance long after the strongest and most willing have been picked off in advance. It will take masses of people willing to die to force a change, you saw cops tried in double jeopardy after the Rodney King riots, the strength of numbers matters, but our greed and selfishness will be our undoing. If you are afraid to speak up you will lose the right to do so.

We are all going to be guilty of something and nobody will aid those who are singled out.

The time to win this fight is before it's on...but as you say so many are asleep, and many others are divided, I fear the loss of our religion, something I always wanted to see, is also the loss of our unity, apparently we are not all smart or evolved enough to look into the future and stand together for our rights without the empowerment of religions conditioning and guidance. Mostly we have lost unity, our strongest feature.

But it will likely grind along slowly as it has been, Chinese will set up factory cities within our borders and 100 years from now the Americans who have something to offer might be allowed to work within their gleaming futuristic cities. Who knows.

Remember right now our in debt government still needs us grunts to defend them, so nothing super drastic will happen all at once, just a slow decline of freedom and a continuing lowering of quality of life and standard of living for the masses of tax slaves.

The Chinese are patient and smart, they are in this for the long run and as it looks they are going to win, while we work against ourselves they support their industry, their technical strength will explode rapidly.

I hope we get a good leader this next election, maybe we can coast along until I die of natural causes, if not the poop may hit the fan in the next decade.

When we are no longer allowed to even talk about it, you know most hope will be lost.

Look at what happened when police wanted people to stop recording them in public, we saw state sponsored terrorism used against the citizens.

District attorneys were attempting to lock people up for decades for recording a cop in public.

It took a foreign born superior court judge to rule it unconstitutional, until then it was a full court press.

I must read about what Dreadnought mentioned, we can expect a lot of attacks on freedom in 2016.

I have placed my hand upon my heart and pledged my allegiance to our flag of the Untied States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.

Now if the people vote to amend our constitution then so be it. I may not like it but I will obey.

But if a tyrannical government attempts to illegally circumvent our constitution with unjust infringements, then those laws are illegal and invalid and it is our duty to disobey illegal unconstitutional infringements.

Look at all the gun owners in Connecticut who did not register their illegally banned rifles, it was over 90%, around a million or so hard working tax paying family raising citizens are now technically overnight felons.
Their strength of numbers is so great that no organized enforcement has yet been attempted.

Civil disobedience against unjust unconstitutional infringements is part of our heritage, it's our duty, and I can understand and respect if the citizens of Connecticut ban together and resist, I know if they were to be persecuted in mass I would march on my state capital in support and send my dollars in support of legal action, actually I already do that, I am a supporting member of the NRA, NRA-ILA, and the GOA.

The infringed citizens of Colorado forced a recall election in Colorado and threw the treasonous tyrants out before their term was over after they passed unconstitutional laws, the citizens of New York and California have to do their part, if the fight comes to my state I will stand with my fellow patriots, at any cost I will honor my debt to our forefathers who paid in their blood for my freedom, half the people of this country are not worth half a squirt of pxxx, but I stand for the freedom of the children of the men who died fighting so I could live free.

This does not mean I have to trade my life to make a point, I could understand how a smart man might appear to capitulate while making plans to make his contribution worth much more by fighting on more favorable terms, I would prefer that we all spread the word and fight in the courts and march in the streets to right the wrongs before push comes to shove. Sadly we have already bent over quite a bit.
Just this morning the news was talking about how the EPA has been given 1400000 dollars worth of military grade equipment.
