Controllers By Martin Cannon Chapter 13 [...] The Revolution in Military
Affairs. The hard fact is: We are all potential targets. Would-be tyrants
need only bide their time until the necessary technology is perfected and
activated. Such is the lesson drawn from a startling 1994 document which
outlines the ultimate purpose of non-lethal technology and mind control
weaponry. "The Revolution in Military Affairs and Conflict Short of War"
is a key paper prepared by the Strategic Studies Institute at the U.S.
Army War College. The authors are Dr. Steven Metz, an associate research
professor who specializes in "military operations other than war," and LTC
James Kievit, a Strategic Research Analyst. Before we examine their
findings, some background: The Revolution in Military Affairs has recently
become the new vogue topic among Pentagon insiders. The "RMA" (as
war-wonks abbreviate it) is largely the brainchild of septuagenarian
Pentagon strategist Andrew Marshall and his deputy, Lt. Col Andrew
Krepinevich. General John M. Shalikashvili, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, has embraced their ideas, while Pentagon insiders are thrashing
out the details at high-level roundtables open only to the National
Security elite. The revolution they are planning could change the way all
Americans live--and it will be televised. Metz and Kievit outline three
basic goals: 1. The United States government will control the planet. 2.
The military will control the government. 3. Computer nerds will control
the military. The result, in a word, will be technofascism. How to bring
all this about? Through the emergent disciplines of ultra-high-tech
warfare: Non-lethal weaponry, bio-warfare, mind control, unmanned flying
vehicles of unusual new designs, and new psy-war scenarios designed to
alter mass belief systems. With toys like these, Pentagon planners hope to
subjugate you so stealthily you won't even know you've been conquered. In
fact, they predict you'll welcome these new developments, even though the
Pentagon plans to complement their revamped military with a revamped
political structure. In the cyber-commando view of
the-way-things-ought-to-be, no ethical, moral, or Constitutional
restraints should constrict the rulers of post-RMA America. "National
Security" will be the single constant; all else is mutable. Authors Metz
and Kievit sketch a grim portrait of global events in the near future.
U.S. policy in the post-Cold War era will doom nearly all Third World
states to fragmentation, ruin and strife; "ungovernability and instability
will be the norm." The American government's primary concern will be
protecting U.S. businessmen overseas. Therefore, every citizen leaving
the United States will receive an electronic Individual Position Locator
Device (IPLD), which will probably be permanently implanted sub-dermally.
These implants would not only function as tracking devices: Metz and
Kievit believe that IPLDs could provide identification and "two-way
communication" between the military and civilians. The authors fully
understand that the public might resist these implants: "If a locator
device could be remotely activated, how could Americans be sure that
activation was only effective outside the United States?" Even more
disconcertingly, Metz and Kievit concede that IPLDs could "monitor
personal conversations." Arguably, the next step might well be domestic
mass implantation, probably as a crime prevention measure. These implants
will be used in conjunction with another rapidly emerging technology:
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or UAVs. (This term replaces the familiar
"Remotely Piloted Vehicles" [RPV].) High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE)
UAVs will communicate with IPLDs implanted in Americans. UAVs would also
see usage as spy-craft, a purpose they serve at present. But perhaps Metz
and Kievit's most mysterious--and intriguing--suggestion concerns the use
of these unusual new aerial devices in support of U.S.-backed foreign
insurgencies: "UAVs can be used for psychological operations aimed at
mobilizing support and enhancing the legitimacy of the insurgents."
Ufologists--at least those with an ability to read between the
lines--might find that last sentence particularly noteworthy. The authors
also foresee the Army developing "the aerial capability to broadcast and
alter television signals." All in the name of anti-terrorism, of course.
The basic idea is deviously clever: The military could send fake
broadcasts, using computer-generated imagery to present real individuals
in simulated situations. The same technology which allowed Forrest Gump to
shake hands with JFK can also create the spectacle of an "enemy" leader
striking a woman, masturbating in public, or otherwise discrediting
himself. The authors concede that this approach has a downside, should
such an operation be "blown" (i.e., revealed to the public). The masses
might lose their faith in the televised image, thereby "reducing the
impact of one of the American politician's greatest communication tools."
We have already discussed EMP weapons, such as HERF guns, which can
destroy the electronic systems of enemy jets. Metz and Kievit also
recommend using soft-kill weapons against aircraft flown by drug
importers. Or rather: "suspected narcotraffickers" (emphasis mine). Of
course, should suspicions prove incorrect, people inside the aircraft will
be no less dead. Fortunately, directed-energy weapons have the advantage
of plausible deniability. The authors make one point quite explicit:
"...deniability must be aimed at the American people, who do not sanction
the imprisonment, much less execution, of individuals without a trial."
Since, according to RMA planners, the United States will prove vulnerable
to attack by foreign terrorists with domestic allies, Metz and Kievit
insist on targeting "immigrant or resident alien communities" which might
provide support for terrorism. One snag: American public opinion might
stifle use of certain biotechnical weapons already in the works. "Most
Americans would not support the use of a weapon designed to target only a
specific racial or ethnic group... Could the government and the military
of this multi-ethnic republic face charges that it was developing or using
a weapon targeting Africans, Jews, Koreans, Hispanics, etc.?" At this
point, the Pentagon planners confront the one true obstacle to their
revolution: "American values and opinion." The RMA is a beast that must
wear no leash if it is to protect us. If traditional ethics stand in the
way of the Pentagon's plans, we must change the ethics, not the plans.
Overcoming these constraints to make a RMA in conflict short of war would
require fundamental changes in the United States--an ethical and political
revolution may be necessary to make a military revolution. Metz and Kievit
foresee an overhaul of the entire political infrastructure of the United
States. The military, the intelligence community, and domestic law
enforcement (both federal and local) should congeal into a single unit--a
national security monolith. This monolith will further integrate itself
with corporations and the courts by means of a "national information
policy." Even public health should be treated as a national security
issue. Interestingly, Metz and Kievit ask whether the RMA can occur "in
some different type of political system not based on nation-states and
traditional inter-state war." There's more than one way to make a
revolution: Revolutionary change in our approach to conflict short of war
may come about indirectly as we grapple with domestic problems such as
crime and drugs. If our traditional notions of privacy and public security
are altered to fight these battles, it is an easy step to change our
attitudes toward intervention in the affairs and psyches of foreign foes.
And now we get to the nitty gritty: "Behavior modification is a key
component of peace enforcement." "Information warfare systems might
influence the behavior of populations..." "Proposed information warfare
capabilities might be ideally suited for helping develop desired emotions,
attitudes, or behavior." Conflict short of war "is most often won or lost
through the manipulation of images, beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions."
Here are two other key quotes-not yanked out of context: This makes
psychological technology [italics in original] much more important than
strike technology. Ways must be found to use emerging technology...to help
military strategists develop, implement, and continually improve methods
of influencing opinion, mobilizing public support, and sometimes
demobilizing it. Today, two RMAs may be underway simultaneously. The first
(and more mature) is electronic... The second (and potentially more
profound) RMA is biotechnological, including genetic engineering and
advanced behavior-altering drugs. Because of the compression of time and
the shortening of historical patterns, the biotechnical revolution is
totally enmeshed with the electronic. It may ultimately be the combination
of the two that proves truly revolutionary. This is hardly the sort of
revolution Washington or Jefferson would have recognized or endorsed.
Looking Ahead Metz and Kievit predict that troops sent to the Third World
will be exposed to strange, resilient new diseases; by law, returning
soldiers will face long-term quarantine. Corrupt leaders of "friendly"
third world countries will prove unable to stand up to either
narcotraffickers or "spiritual insurgents." In short: traditional methods
of projecting American might may no longer suffice. Thus, the military
will embark on a course of "Dynamic Defense"--a plan designed to abolish
the Department of Defense, the Department of State, the CIA, the NSC, and
all other arms of the intelligence community. Instead, there will be just
two organizations--one devoted to preventing conflict, the other devoted
to containing it. The division between the military and traditional law
enforcement will vanish. To create the appropriate "attitudinal vessel"
for RMA, the Dynamic Defenders will use high-tech means of "consciousness
raising" in order to undo the citizenry's "old fashioned notions of
personal privacy and national sovereignty." Also to be eliminated:
"Old-fashioned ideas about information control and scientific inquiry."
Preserving American technological advantage will be far more important
than quaint notions of free information exchange. Computer hackers will
be enemies. The doctrine of national security will dictate U.S. responses
to ecological threats (even those within other nations) and "psychological
threats." There should be "no distinction-legal or otherwise" drawn
between problems within and outside our borders. The United States should
regard its allies (Britain, France, Australia, etc.) as little more than
"encumbrances." Indeed, the American military will preemptively disable
any potential opponent with the ability to disrupt the U.S. in any way.
Metz and Kievit predict that the Dynamic Defenders may metamorphose into
"the Eagle Movement," in which the military finally escapes the
constitutional restrictions placing the armed forces under civilian
control. The traditional parties will be "to put it lightly, intimidated
by the Eagle Movement," and will succumb to its demands. It's a scenario
that should appeal to anyone who rooted for Darth Vader during Star Wars.
Fortunately, other published RMA theorists haven't proven quite so
"visionary" as the world-devouring Metz and Kievit. We can only hope the
Joint Chiefs opt for a revolution that is much more cautious--and less
disdainful of democracy. A Few Modest Questions About the RMA. 1.
According to the Metz/Kievit scenario, the RMA process culminates in the
military openly assuming a dominant role in politics. What is to stop the
militarists from "kick-starting" the process? How do we know they won't
clandestinely aid and abet the terrorism, insurgencies, drug trafficking
and other problems used to rationalize the revolution? 2. As the national
security monolith grows in scope and power, what will prevent the use of
"non-lethal" weapons--such as sedative-laden food supplies and televised
subliminals--against the domestic population? 3. Who determines what
constitutes a "psychological threat"? Which ideas or beliefs shall be
damned as threatening? 4. Metz and Kievit make repeated reference to
unusual new diseases which will afflict foreign populations. These
diseases will lead to greater restrictions on immigration and travel:
Anyone setting foot in certain nations would have to undergo a period of
quarantine before mingling with the U.S. populace. Foreigners--even
foreign tourists--might be denied entrance altogether. The political
impact of such restrictions would be enormous: Americans would have
minimal exposure to individuals from Third World countries, and thus
minimal access to first-person accounts of conditions elsewhere. But where
will these new diseases come from? How can Metz and Kievit predict their
appearance so confidently? Do these mysterious diseases have anything to
do with those much-trumpeted developments in biotechnology? 5. Metz and
Kievit assert that "UAVs can be used for psychological operations aimed at
mobilizing support and enhancing the legitimacy" of Third World combatants
favored by Washington. Just what do they mean by this? Obviously, a gray
piece of military hardware, bearing stars-and-stripes identification
markings, won't have much of a psychological impact as it buzzes over the
head of a favored rebel leader. Perhaps these flying devices will come
disguised or misrepresented in some way? In all likelihood, these vehicles
will be camouflaged and misidentified-and the question "Misidentified as
what?" won't detain any thinking person for very long. Ufologists should
be very concerned about the clandestine use of UAVs in psychological
operations. 6. Re: "The Eagle Movement." Is the eagle American? Or is this
the same bird that once perched above the swastika? [...]

(Work by Cannon snipped)

The preceding post in this thread, about the RMA, caused me a little bit
of pain.

In the first place: It was posted without my permission. Not that such a
concern is likely to matter to you militia maniacs: Plagiarism is as
common as patriotism in far-right fringe circles -- as anyone would know
who familiarizes himself with the works of John Grace ("Val Valerian"),
the compiler of the "Matrix" and "Leading Edge" rip-off journals.

In the second place: The piece was posted, for some reason, without
formatting -- that is, without paragraph returns.

Third place: The piece apparently came by way of A-Albionics, a
right-wing anti-Catholic group of which I do NOT approve. In fact, I
have nothing but disgust for the entire plot-spotting right --
particularly for the modern "Freikorps" movement, which goes by various
misleading names, such as "the militia movement" and the "patriot
network."

I am on the left. I want nothing to do with the conspiracy-crazed right,
and you should want nothing from me. Certainly your need for
inspirational literature can be met by the latest offerings from Carto,
Cooper, or DOCTOR Linda Thompson. You don't need to quote me -- at least
not approvingly. Approval from anyone on the neo-Birchite Right is
something I have to explain shamefacedly when conversing with DECENT
people.

Look, you guys have plenty to occupy your time: Swilling beer, shooting
guns, cleaning the trailer park, begatting pure Aryan offspring,
examining your dollar bills for yet more signs of the Beast, scanning
the skies for UFOs and black helicopters... Why, the days are just
FILLED. You really don't need to concern yourselves with anything I
write.

While I would never seek to speak for Dave Emory, I suspect that he may
harbor a slightly similar attitude.

Alas, many right-wingers have embraced an immature piece called "The
Controllers," which I wrote back in my twenties. This unwanted embrace
is one reason why I now deeply regret having written that thing, and
have asked everyone on the world-wide web to STOP making it available.
(Predictably, the only people who have ignored this request are those
happy plagiarists on the Right.)

All that said, I'd like to mention that a very angry private e-mail was
sent to "Homesteadr," who originally posted the RMA piece to
misc.activism.militia. He apologized for posting without permission. And
he apologized fair and square, without the usual rationalizations. A
nice show of decency.

Maybe one day his fellow Rightists will follow suit.

Speaking as a rabid right-wing Ralph Reed Fan Club Wise Use Republican, I
approve of you. (Note the sarcasm dripping off my voice)

>Look, you guys have plenty to occupy your time: Swilling beer,

I'm more the organically-grown-socially-just coffee type.

Gotta stay in shape for hunting season

>cleaning the trailer park,

More like washing the dishes

>begatting pure Aryan offspring,

Muy interesante, que yo, que soy de parte judio y parte ladino, voy a traer
hijos puros blancos. If you can explain how exactly that works, I'll give
you a cookie.

>examining your dollar bills for yet more signs of the Beast,

Or wondering why tuition takes up so many of them

>scanning the skies for UFOs and black helicopters...

And shooting stars. Don't forget the shooting stars.

>Why, the days are just

If the rest of your writing is anywhere near as intelligently thought-out as
is this post, then there definitely is no need for us to bother with it.

BTW, why does it seem impossible to you that there are Black or Latino or
Asian militia activists? Are you some kind of fucking nazi? (no sarcasm
that time)

Dont drink. It affects your judgement on split second decisions. Also,
takes
money I'd rather spend on other things.

>shooting guns,

I don't shoot guns, I shoot targets WITH guns.

>cleaning the trailer park, begatting pure Aryan offspring,

I live in a house. My offspring begatting probably isn't pure,
nor is it on topic.

>examining your dollar bills for yet more signs of the Beast,

(The ones I get to keep, I must spend)

My days are mostly filled taking care of whiny-asses like yourself.
You see, I am a volunteer firefighter, which gives me much needed
medical training for free and allows me to laugh at people who can't
deal with life, and swallow drain-o. It also allows me to cry for the child
run over by some pseudu-intellectual asshole in his BMW, while
he bitches about the stupid rednecks that are cutting him from
his once expensive car...

Heah, wait a minute!
You better get permission from Pitcavage before you re-assign the meaning
of the terms "militia movement" and "patriot network". Mark as exclusive
rights to re-define those terms to include or exclude (at his discression)
any group, sub-group, or individual.

I am not "right", nor "crazed". I want from you one thing: honesty.
Is that too much to ask? I mean, it does fly in the face of lefist history
and present-day tactics.

I just love a down-to-earth elitist. You are so *easy* to identify. Does
looking down your nose cause you to stumble when you attempt to move about
in the real world? Or does it just result in cross-eyed tunnel vision?

What, Oh Enlightened Worshipper of the State, is a Rightist?

Just curious. Its always funny to watch you guys attempt a defense of your
dead-duck pseudo-philosophies.
