Pentagon Using Computer Simulations of You (My suspicions confirmed)

the US Department of Defense (DOD) may already be creating a copy of you in an alternate reality to see how long you can go without food or water, or how you will respond to televised propaganda.

The DOD is developing a parallel to Planet Earth, with billions of individual "nodes" to reflect every man, woman, and child this side of the dividing line between reality and AR.

Called the Sentient World Simulation (SWS), it will be a "synthetic mirror of the real world with automated continuous calibration with respect to current real-world information", according to a concept paper for the project.

"SWS provides an environment for testing Psychological Operations (PSYOP)," the paper reads, so that military leaders can "develop and test multiple courses of action to anticipate and shape behaviors of adversaries, neutrals, and partners".

Damn. I never should've gotten myself a facebook account...

[sprucemoose]

Forget facebook, i'd be more worried about Google and Windows Vista.

[HowlinJack]

Crap!

Maybe that's how they plan to survive the peak?  They'll create a sim world and download us all into it.

If you're new to this stuff, here is a "primer" on how they work from Mike Ruppert. Yes, that Mike Ruppert. I've said before Mike was a bit insane. You have to be insane to even contemplate this sort of thing let alone investigate it! I wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole. The formatting will be funny here as I'm cutting and pasting.

It combines datamining, artificial intelligence, and
   "interoperability," the capacity for one program to read, operate,
   and modify the source codes of other programs. Datamining is a
   technique for detecting and extracting meaningful patterns hidden
   within vast quantities of apparently meaningless data.

   Programs based on datamining are powerful analytical tools;
   finding meaningful patterns in an ocean of information is very
   useful. But when such a tool is driven by a high-caliber artificial
   intelligence core, its power gets spooky. The datamining capability
   becomes a smart search tool of the AI program, and the system
   begins to learn.

   With neural networking, software has become much smarter than
   it had been. Now it can perform multiple, related operations at the
   same time through parallel processing; now it can learn from
   setbacks, and use genetic algorithms to evolve its way out of
   limitations. Now it can respond to more kinds of data from the
   electronic environment, including "fuzzy" values that don't come in
   discreet numerical packages. This kind of computational power
   supports an inference engine that can digest the mined data into
   results that are not only descriptive of the system's present state
   but predictive for imminent and, to some degree, even middle
   -term outcomes. That's why the same family of programs that
   does enterprise architecture, which is descriptive (and
   prescriptive if you take its descriptions as a mandate for cutting
   costs by firing people - "process management"), comes to include
   risk management software, which is predictive of the future. It
   extrapolates from current trends in a more than quantitative way.

Conventional electronic surveillance finds patterns in the data of other instruments; [this software] can exploit the patterns it detects and extrapolate future probabilities.

guys, you don't need to worry about having or not having a facebook, myspace page. Or what your're using to run your computer. This stuff is so sophisticated, nothing you do will escape it.

Let's say you buy gold with cash at the dealer. You think "how will THEY know?" Well here's how: The NSA satellite sees you walk to the gold dealer while the datamining software sees you pulled out $1,000 from your account two weeks earlier and that you had been browsing some gold sites on the net. Along with other info it can predict with a high degree of accuracy whether you bought gold or not.

You're missing the point. It's a giant sim they're using to figure out how we (and everybody else) will react. That's why me and this forum are not seen as a "threat." They've already plugged all our info in. It was probably done automatically without human input, just like with all online forums. An actual person is probably only notified if a red flag shows up.

I wondered, in my more conspiratorial moods, if Hurricane Katrina was used as a trial run. To see if the software accurately predicted how people would behave in a SHTF scenario if left to themselves.

Remember that actual conspiracies are rare, but incompetence is common.

[JurisDoctorOfDoom]

One thing I forgot to mention:

OMG EVERYBODY PANIC!!!



(Have to have a sense of humor about this sort of stuff)

[JurisDoctorOfDoom]

Remember that actual conspiracies are rare, but incompetence is common.

 

Does the term "Enron" mean anything to you?

Does the phrase "Dick Cheney's Energy Task Force" mean anything to you?

Does the phrase "Nixon's plumbers" mean anything to you?

All conspiracies of one sort or another!

Heck, just look at the info the CIA just released where they admit to performing mind control experiments on children! Read it and weep:

If conspiracies weren't common, you would not be able to be charge with "conspiracy to commit murder" or "conspiracy to commit arson" or whatever. I suspect the higher you go in mil-gov and corporate worlds, the deeper and darker the conspiracies go simply because there is more money and power at stake. (Much like corruption gets worse the higher you go)

As far as Katrina, whether it was a conspiracy, true incompetence, or some combonation of both I have no idea. But you can't just dismiss the possibility of some type of "conspiracy" out of hand in these matters.

I saw Cheney give a live speech at SRJC in 1991. Yes, shocking I know, but it was before he was elected.

That is shocking. For those on the board who don't know what HM is referring to, Santa Rosa Junior College is smack dab in the middle of one of the most anti-Bush/Cheney areas in the country. They didn't even bother running campaign ads out here because they knew it would be pointless.

As an experiment, imagine there are no (or very FEW) conspiracies and operate under the assumption that things which happen in politics are driven by money, power, and ego instead of sinister cabals of villains petting white cats in front of tanks full of piranhas. If you switch from the paranoid view to the quo vadis approach,

I think it's a combo of both. There are actual conspiracies and there are times when it just looks like there is a conspiracy because everybody is seeking the same thing: mone, power, etc

 so eat something if you start feeling paranoid.

If I ate something every time I feel paranoid I'd weigh 300 pounds by now.

@ HereticMonk

I fucked up!  I just realized I hit the modify button when attempting to quote your post. My apologies, you made some good points. I will go sit in the corner now:

 Hello Neo, welcome to the Matrix.

[Zero]

Come on guys, this is plane stupid. If they are building it really, then it is a collossal waste of money. We cannot even model the weather properly. We cannot even model 1 human properly. To model hundreds of millions of people in a computer simulation is IMPOSSIBLE.

Anybody want to play a game of "Guess who didn't read the articles?"
