"Nanotechnology and Homeland Security: New Weapons for New Wars"

Posted a thread on this topic back in 03, and it never had one reply.

Perhaps any number of reasons prevent such. I would today, guess that it was because many of the 100 members then, were not so knowledgeable or interested in where it was and or may be going.

The ATS has changed dramatically since then, and so maybe it has a chance of being of interest to more than just me.

New Weapons for New Wars

This important book, will shed the light on many who still think the future is not here. Or perhaps is another means of manipulatig the masses, one way or another they are going to get ya.

I am sure this group is doing horrendous things against human beings, especially outside of america.

Murderers are employed in these groups and thats all they are. What right does any human in these groups have to torture others, no human rights, that is the motto of this group.

I would not be surprised at all about the tech these people are using for there vicious horrendous acts against humans.

we do seem to be moving that way...
no longer the stuff of fiction books...
I'll have to google it up but not that long ago I read about a medi, microbot to monitor a solders health... still on the drawing boards, but unlike 03 here in 10 they are making the framework for these little boogers, buckyballs nanotubes... its coming man...
