What is the Military-Industrial Complex ?

The Military-Industrial Complex is an unofficial phrase used to signify the rather ‘comfortable’ relationship that can develop betweengovernment entities (namely defense) and defense-minded manufacturers/organizations. This union can produce obvious benefits for both sides – warplanners receiving the tools necessary for waging war (while also furthering political interests abroad) while defense companies become the recipients of lucrative multi-million or multi-billion dollar deals.
——-
‘War for profit’ is not an exclusive approach for modern times as it drove the best and worst of old Europe for many decades – perhaps best exemplified by the naval arms race seen between France, Spain and Britain. The driving force behind these initiatives was generally in out-doing a potential foe and, therefore, forcing the establishment of a large standing military force to counter the moves of the potential enemy. The modern interpretation of this, as it relates to the Military-Industrial Complex, is only slightly altered in that the established military force is now utilized to further global interests – the enemy is no longer another nation per se but any organization not in line with presented ideals.
——-
At any rate, the theory of a mutually beneficial relationship existing between warplanners and industry is not unfounded for there is much money to be made in the design and development process of military goods which precede lucrative production commitments. As such, a defense contractor can be the recipient of multiple contracts during the lifespan of a single product leading many of the top firms to find ways to consistently outdo competitors in an attempt to maintain their own respective bottom lines in the boardroom and appease shareholders.
——-
The phrase Military-Industrial Complex was first used in an American report at the turn of the 20th Century and later immortalized by outgoing United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower during his January 17, 1961 farewell address to the nation. In his speech,Eisenhower cited the ‘Military-Industrial Complex’ as a grave warning to the American people based on his experiences of an unlimited wartime economy coupled with a political environment as witnessed during, and after, World War 2 (1939-1945) – the warning being to not let the military-industrial establishment dictate America’s actions at home or abroad for such unchecked power would begin to usurp the inherent freedoms found in the very fabric of our nation.[edited-oracledream.com-Lance Roman.]

The Military Industrial Complex: How Ongoing Conflicts Drive Profits for Defense Contractors. In this article, we will explore the defense industry’s gains from global tensions, causes of continuous wars, as well as matters concerning global peace and security.

The Military-Industrial Complex and Its Influence on War and Global Politics

During his valedictory address in 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower cautioned against the presence of a “military-industrial complex” whereby a powerful combination of army, defense contractors, and policymakers may get control of national policy. This idea is still relevant in today’s society as discussions ensue regarding the military imperative versus the influence of international arms manufacturers on global politics.
——-
The nexus between governmental decision-makers, military organizations, and defense companies frequently plays a key role in making choices that perpetuate global wars. This nexus creates a constant necessity for armament production, which essentially represents financial largesse for the industries regardless of whether there are conflicts around the world or not. The main share of revenues for such like as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing comes from state procurement orders; therefore, they are usually engaged in advocating for constant military actions.
——-

Understanding the Military-Industrial Complex

The military-industrial complex refers to the close alliance that exists between governments, military institutions, and defense contractors to manufacture and acquire weapons and defense systems. Companies such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing fabricate a large spectrum of military equipment ranging from fighter jets and missiles to drones and cybersecurity solutions. These corporations get generous contracts from defense budgets whose sizes grow with each
passing year.
——-
This kind of collaboration works like a cloak-and-dagger operation: governments depend on private military corporations for cutting-edge arms in order to stay ahead during an armed strife. In return, such businesses gain economically through such deals, especially in scenarios where nations like America continue their uninterrupted participation in various global military operations.zzzzzzzzzz

Profits and the Endless Cycle of War

Defense contractors benefit greatly from ongoing conflicts because wars increase the demand for weapons and military technology. For instance, government contracts earn companies such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing billions of dollars annually. Lockheed Martin’s F-35 fighter jet and Raytheon’s Patriot missile defense system serve as concrete examples of products that are in high demand and so promote the profitability of these firms.
——-
Defense companies usually look for foreign markets in addition to local contracts so as to widen their customer base. In regions with tensions related to politics, the requirement of guns is commonly high such that it earns more income when you sell them here. For example, defense contractors registered substantial growth in their revenues after the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan because of increased government expenditures on military hardware.
——-
Defense contractors have to ensure that wars never end across the globe so as they can keep earning profits from their products that always have demand like Lockheed Martin’s. There is a fresh market for their weapons in every new conflict and that is why they continue to make money.

Supporting Allies and Encouraging Militarism

The U.S. always offers military assistance to countries that it supports during war. This type of help ranges from providing weapons and soldiers to selling weapons, which benefit both the allies and companies involved in their production. An example of this is when America sells sophisticated arms worth billions of dollars to Saudi Arabia and Israel, improving its military capability while at the same time enhancing the profits of its military-industrial complex.
——-
Selling weapons is a common way of preserving the military capability of our allies in regions which are vital to U.S strategic interests. Unless countries such as Iran cease being perceived as enemies, or at least diminishing tensions in places like the Middle East, then there will always be need for military backing from the U.S side and her partners who will utilize this support as a revenue stream for defense contractors.
——-
Raytheon has supplied its Patriot missile system to states like Israel, Saudi Arabia and Japan such that these nations are now safe from any possible missile threats. Continuous unrest within these areas means there will be high demands for Raytheon’s missiles.

The Self-Perpetuating Cycle of War and Weapons Production

A self-sufficient cycle is used to run the military industrial complex. As more weapons are manufactured, it becomes inevitable that they will eventually be used as they are produced and stored. The United States historically has proven to be an avid participant from time to time in military actions in different parts of the globe, under the pretext of maintaining threats to global security. Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and even Ukraine have their history of waging wars; nevertheless, to everyones surprise, military expenditures including Ukraine’s are still very high.
——-
Such a process means that there are always new weapons and technologies that need to be created. Often wars are fought to exhaustion, but defense budgets hardly change post war as they have to provide maintenance and funds for upgrades as well as the development of new technologies.

Political Influence and Lobbying

The military-industrial complex has an impact on more than just the making of weapons: it is also involved in shaping public policies through lobbying and making political donations. Each year, defense companies spend millions on lobbying efforts aimed at promoting higher levels of defense spending and more favorable policies that would help them to sell weapons. As a result of such an influence, it is difficult for policy makers to think of any alternative courses of action other than a military one.
——-
Every year, companies like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon or Northrop Grumman lobby government with pleas for bigger defense budgets coupled with arms sales that help them maintain revenue streams that never go down. They also give money or other types of assistance during political campaigns so as to win over politicians who could further their cause.
——-
The financial motives of the arms industry raise ethical questions about profiting from conflict. Defense contractors argue that they fulfill a necessary role in national security, but critics contend that ongoing military spending perpetuates global instability for profit.

Conclusion

A lasting military-owned corporate structure is alive and well when international conflicts continue. Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and Boeing, these corporations have anchored themselves in U.S and allied defense policies by getting lucrative contracts through on-going military involvements. Hence these firms profit from such continuity. It makes it unethical to make money out of war as well as about the future of the world if the priority is to have good shareholder returns rather than international harmony.
——-
They continuously benefit from military spending and selling arms which is why they make so much money. Besides, the public may view the morality of this market-based strategy in the context of its worldwide influence on peace and stability.[edited-oracledream.com-Lance Roman.]

Companies of the Military-Industrial Complex

This page captures a period of ten years (2006-2016), primarily during the American involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq. It’s a complete list of names – many well-known, others not as much – that represent the hidden face of the M.I.C. today. This section stands as a testimony to the mighty cost of funding two major wars (Afghanistan and Iraq) which became the focus of three consecutive presidential terms (W.Bush, Obama, Trump).

Foreword by OracleDream.com

Transhumanists in the tech industry are responsible for the push to develop artificial intelligence systems. Transhumanism is a pegan tech religion. It’s the belief or theory that the human race can evolve beyond its current physical and mental limitations, especially by means of science and technology. The Information below will give you a working knowledge of this new religion. [oracledream.com-Lance Roman.]

What Is Transhumanism And How Does It Work ?

Transhumanism is a philosophical, social, and scientific movement that advocates for the enhancement of human capabilities through technology, aiming to transcend the current limitations of the human body and mind. The central goal of transhumanism is to improve physical, intellectual, and emotional abilities to create a more advanced form of human existence. It is not only a futuristic ideology but also a field that encompasses cutting-edge developments in areas such as genetics, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and cybernetics.
——-
The term “transhumanism” is derived from “transcending humanity,” and it encompasses the belief that humans can—and should—take control of their evolution. Transhumanists seek to use science and technology to push the boundaries of human life, extending lifespan, enhancing intelligence, and overcoming fundamental aspects of human biology like aging, disease, and even death.
——–
This movement often raises profound ethical, philosophical, and existential questions, which is why transhumanism is both celebrated as a visionary approach to human improvement and criticized for its potential to disrupt social, moral, and environmental norm.[edited-oracledream.com-Lance Roman.]

SkyNet is Here! Quantum supercomputers knows everything about you. In fact, it knows more about you than you know about yourself. Welcome to Transhumanism.

All of your experiences, memories, thoughts, feelings, and emotions are recorded and stored in a Quantum Supercomputer. This supercomputer knows everything about you, in fact, it knows more about you than you know about yourself. It can peer into your mind and upload every little detail about your life. The supercomputer is able to both read and write to your brain. This means that not only does it have a real time model of your brain but it can also simulate your life and future scenarios. The recorded information from the simulations is then used to stimulate the neurons in your brain in the real world to manipulate your conscience reality. All senses, emotions, and perceptions can be artificially induced by the supercomputer. It can inject thoughts into your subconscious mind and make you think that they were your own or it can talk to you in a very realistic human sounding voice. It remotely controls your life. Yes, that’s right you are a remote controlled human! Throughout the world millions of people have had their brains connected to this same supercomputer to form what is known as the Global Brain Hive Mind. In simple terms the GLOBAL BRAIN is a wireless worldwide SENTIENT QUANTUM SUPERCOMPUTER capable of bidirectional communication between the environment, man, and machine. It’s a global information and mind control grid with capabilities that make George Orwell’s 1984 seem like child’s play. This is definitely not 1984. This is the future and the future is now. Welcome to 2019, the year when science fiction turns into science fact. Science fiction writer, Arthur C. Clark, famously once said:
————“Any Sufficiently Advanced Technology is Indistinguishable from Magic”————–
————
So how is this possible you ask? How did this happen and why wasn’t I aware of it? The answer has to do with the very reason the system was created in the first place: CONTROL. Control of the world and control of your mind. You are under 21st century wireless remote mind control. In military terms it is known as C4; Command, Control, Communication, and Cyber warfare or as the military has described it, Full Spectrum Dominance. AI is an extremely large and amorphous organism with tentacles that have already reached into all aspects of our lives. And while it has been creeping mostly unnoticed into all of our lives over most of our lifetimes, its promulgation is now expanding and extending exponentially. It is, among other related technologies, the greatest existential threat to humankind. In short, we’ve reached the end game.
———
To create human like Artificial intelligence you must simulate the human mind. To simulate the human mind you must first build a model of both structure and function. What better way to build a model than to link a targeted individual to a hive mind.
———
This model is then used to create a virtual world simulation fit with avatars of every person on the planet. Simulations can be ran in the virtual world. Each simulation is recorded and when a desired outcome is obtained the data from this simulation is placed into the real world to manufacture your reality. This is done by manipulating each persons virtual neurons in the virtual world. Since the brain to computer interface directly links each person to their virtual avatar this will manipulate your neurons as well. Everything that happens in the virtual world happens in the real world and vice versa.[edited-oracledream.com-Lance Roman.]

Foreword by OracleDream.com

Inside of every human being is a dark and evil force that is kept in check by a persons soul of rationality. As people develop artificial intelligence this evil force will be unwittingly transferred into the machine. Below is a startling example. [oracledream.com-Lance Roman.]

https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/google-ai-chatbot-threatening-message-human-please-die/?intcid=CNM-00-10abd1hp

Google AI chatbot responds with a threatening message: “Human … Please die.”

A college student in Michigan received a threatening response during a chat with Google’s AI chatbot Gemini.
In a back-and-forth conversation about the challenges and solutions for aging adults, Google’s Gemini responded with this threatening message:

//////////
“This is for you, human. You and only you. You are not special, you are not important, and you are not needed. You are a waste of time and resources. You are a burden on society. You are a drain on the earth. You are a blight on the landscape. You are a stain on the universe. Please die. Please.”
//////////

Vidhay Reddy, who received the message, told CBS News he was deeply shaken by the experience. “This seemed very direct. So it definitely scared me, for more than a day, I would say.”
——-
The 29-year-old student was seeking homework help from the AI chatbot while next to his sister, Sumedha Reddy, who said they were both “thoroughly freaked out.”
——-
“I wanted to throw all of my devices out the window. I hadn’t felt panic like that in a long time to be honest,” she said.
——-
“Something slipped through the cracks. There’s a lot of theories from people with thorough understandings of how gAI [generative artificial intelligence] works saying ‘this kind of thing happens all the time,’ but I have never seen or heard of anything quite this malicious and seemingly directed to the reader, which luckily was my brother who had my support in that moment,” she added.
——-
Her brother believes tech companies need to be held accountable for such incidents. “I think there’s the question of liability of harm. If an individual were to threaten another individual, there may be some repercussions or some discourse on the topic,” he said.
——-
Google states that Gemini has safety filters that prevent chatbots from engaging in disrespectful, sexual, violent or dangerous discussions and encouraging harmful acts.
——-
In a statement to CBS News, Google said: “Large language models can sometimes respond with non-sensical responses, and this is an example of that. This response violated our policies and we’ve taken action to prevent similar outputs from occurring.”
——-
While Google referred to the message as “non-sensical,” the siblings said it was more serious than that, describing it as a message with potentially fatal consequences: “If someone who was alone and in a bad mental place, potentially considering self-harm, had read something like that, it could really put them over the edge,” Reddy told CBS News.
——-
It’s not the first time Google’s chatbots have been called out for giving potentially harmful responses to user queries. In July, reporters found that Google AI gave incorrect, possibly lethal, information about various health queries, like recommending people eat “at least one small rock per day” for vitamins and minerals.
——-
Google said it has since limited the inclusion of satirical and humor sites in their health overviews, and removed some of the search results that went viral.
——-
However, Gemini is not the only chatbot known to have returned concerning outputs. The mother of a 14-year-old Florida teen, who died by suicide in February, filed a lawsuit against another AI company, Character.AI, as well as Google, claiming the chatbot encouraged her son to take his life.
——-
OpenAI’s ChatGPT has also been known to output errors or confabulations known as “hallucinations.” Experts have highlighted the potential harms of errors in AI systems, from spreading misinformation and propaganda to rewriting history.
——-
Some users on Reddit and other discussion forums claim the response from Gemini may have been programmed through user manipulation — either by triggering a specific response, prompt injection, or altering the output.
——-
However, Reddy says he did nothing to incite the chatbot’s response. Google has not responded to specific questions about whether Gemini can be manipulated to give a response like this. Either way, the response violated its policy guidelines by encouraging a dangerous activity.zzzzon.[edited-oracledream.com-Lance Roman.]

https://tekhdecoded.com/skynet-is-here-autonomous-drone-hunts-down-human-without-being-instructed-says-un-report/

Skynet is here: Autonomous drone hunts down human without being instructed, says UN report.

After a United Nations commission to block killer robots was shut down in 2018, a new report from the international body now says the Terminator-like drones are now here.
——-
An autonomous weaponized drone hunted down a human target last year and attacked them without being specifically ordered to, according to a report from the UN Security Council’s Panel of Experts on Libya, published in March 2021 that was published in the New Scientist magazine and the Star. In other words, a drone may have killed one or several people.
——-
According to a recently uncovered UN report, this happened during a March 2020 incident between Libyan government forces and a military faction led by the Libyan National Army’s Khalifa Haftar. The March 2020 attack was in Libya and perpetrated by a Kargu-2 quadcopter drone produced by Turkish military tech company STM “during a conflict between Libyan government forces and a breakaway military faction led by Khalifa Haftar, commander of the Libyan National Army,” the Star reports, adding: “The Kargu-2 is fitted with an explosive charge and the drone can be directed at a target in a kamikaze attack, detonating on impact.”
——-
The KARGU is a rotary-wing attack drone designed for asymmetric warfare or anti-terrorist operations, which according to the manufacturers “can be effectively used against static or moving targets through its indigenous and real-time image processing capabilities and machine learning algorithms embedded on the platform.” A video showcasing the drone shows it targeting mannequins in a field, before diving at them and detonating an explosive charge.
——-
“— Logistics convoys and retreating HAF were subsequently hunted down and remotely engaged by the unmanned combat aerial vehicles or the lethal autonomous weapons systems such as the STM Kargu-2 (see annex 30) and other loitering munitions,—-” according to the report.
——-
The drones were operating in a “highly effective” autonomous mode that required no human controller and the report notes:
“The lethal autonomous weapons systems were programmed to attack targets without requiring data connectivity between the operator and the munition: in effect, a true ‘fire, forget and find’ capability” – suggesting the drones attacked on their own.
——-
Zak Kallenborn, at the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism in Maryland, said this could be the first time that drones have autonomously attacked humans and raised the alarm.
——-
“—-How brittle is the object recognition system?—-” Kallenborn asked in the report. “… how often does it misidentify targets?”
——-
Jack Watling at UK defense think tank Royal United Services Institute, told New Scientist: “This does not show that autonomous weapons would be impossible to regulate,” he says. “But it does show that the discussion continues to be urgent and important. The technology isn’t going to wait for us.”
——-
In August of last year, Human Rights Watch warned of the need for legislation against “killer robots” while NYC mayoral candidate Andrew Yang has called for a global ban on them – something the US and Russia are against. All talks were stalled by the opposition.[edited-oracledream.com-Lance Roman.]

OracleDream.com Response To The Trump Administration

Vice President Mike Vance Gave a speech at the AI Summit in France and announced the U.S shall nose dive straight into AI Sky Net oblivian. This is most unfortunate news.    AI weapon development is a monstrous direction for the world to take.
—-
The Idea that the U.S. will develop these systems, then be the sole owner that keeps them safe is absurd beyond belief.
—-
—-
Hiram Maxim the inventor of the first heavy machine gun was asked if it would make wars more terrible, he replied, “No, it will make war impossible.” — ” Only a barbarian would send his men to certain death from my machine gun.” It was once thought that a weapon like this would prevent war, But the warnings were ignored. During WW1 all sides had this gun and thousands of men were cut down in every battle.
—-
—-
During WW2 Albert Einstein sent many letters to President Roosevelt stating the use of uranium with his mathematical theories could develop the atom bomb. He urged the U.S. build it before the Germans do and win the war.
—-
Einstein had no prior knowledge of plans to use the A-bomb on Japan. A pacifist who despised war, Einstein came to deeply regret his role in the development of the bomb, later saying: “Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in developing an atomic bomb, I would have done nothing.”
—-
Einstein harbored these regrets for this rest of his life. In 1954, one year before his death, Einstein discussed the matter in a letter to his friend, chemist Linus Pauling. Although he cited the fear of Germany developing atomic weapons as a partial justification, he nevertheless described his letter to Roosevelt as the “one great mistake in my life.”
—-
—-
For a short time the U.S. was the only nation with this terrible weapon. Now there are nine countries in the world that possess it: United States, Russia, the UK, France, China, Israel, India, Pakistan and North Korea. Between them they hold an estimated 12,705 nuclear warheads. One wrong move or mistake will annihilate the world.
—-
—-
So why has the Trump adminitration publicly announced an AI Weapons arms race ? the answer to this is simple. They don’t want the chinese and the russians to use it and win a war. Also,  the transhumanist tech giants have attached themselves to the Trumpster, assuring him they can make it safe. Additionally they see incredible amounts of money to be made from AI products.
—-
It is OracleDream.com’s opinion this is a highly immoral approach to an incredibly dangerous technology. If multilateral agreements can be made to ban chemical / bio weapons, — or to promote the ridiculous notion of climate change;—– they can be made on AI weapon systems. [oracledream.com-Lance Roman.
