HUMANOID ROBOTS, PEOPLE CONTROL/TRACKING
Fire-breathing Skies:
The Beast and Space Lasers
An intelligent image of one called the “beast” that talks and is able to give life-changing instructions, issuing life-threatening edicts, while his “prime minister” backs him up by commanding fire from the skies; people-tracking systems that allow for precise monitoring of one’s every move, in any location, worldwide: sound far-fetched? For some living today, it might be mind-boggling to think that back of forty to fifty years ago—before Steve Jobs and Bill Gates; before micro-chips or transistors—either scenario would have been just that, farfetched. Neither was much more than the stuff of good science fiction. As of the early 20th century, even science fiction as we know it, had barely been born. No such things were even remotely realizable. Like most everything else we, particularly in America, so take for granted today, neither had the slightest basis in reality.
As with all things biblically prophetic, the prospect of ‘fire from the skies’ (other than lightning) must seem remote at best to most people today—even in America, the industrial capital of the world; land of all things new and innovative. It was a thought hopelessly inconceivable two thousand years ago, when the prophecy was first issued. Man, summoning fire from the heavens (!)? Yet, the Bible declares in no uncertain terms that he will, regardless of whether in the end, that feat is man-made, or, supernatural through the auspices of his hands. So, the question is, how might that deed be achieved?
John the Revelator’s vision aside, men, other than the Bible’s prophets, began to dream of the killing potential in fire from the skies about sixty plus years ago (as of approx. / /2010). Their hopes were supported and buoyed in part by the physics of an Einsteinian understanding of light. From start to the present, the base ingredient to making it all a reality, however, was termed an “elusive technology”. Like the thermo-baric weapons which make the killing potential in John’s vision of the kings of the east possible, and the thermo-nuclear technology which will make the downfall of America possible in under one hour, so likewise the sequence and series of technological advances necessary to make this a reality from man’s point of view has only recently begun to take shape. From humble beginnings in 1960 (at the Hughes Research Lab., in Malibu, CA), for years thereafter the stuff only of pipe dreams (showing no real “wartime” promise) battle-grade “fire”-producing weapons technology (such as John envisions) is no longer elusive. It is now both viable and quite deadly—as expected—and as such, a scorching reality.
