    1982- the average Western household gets a microwave
    1992- car phones begin to be introduced
    1995- personal computers begin to infiltrate the average home
    2008- the iPhone is introduced
    2020- dancing robots ( with ten years of incremental improvements)
    2019- manufactured virus replaces all human disease, continuing dependency on a quango medical for profit system
    2020- planet earth on lockdown- all prior “conspiracy” theories confirmed
    2020- machines steal us election
    2021- machines and robots turn on and replace mankind

    When I saw the release of the Boston Dynamics video the other day? I ran to the lavatory to vomit.

    I think we are doomed. I hope not but unless we rise up and fight? It’s over.

    Edit to add: Lest we not forget the Davos Man battlecry “ a limited opportunity to actualize The Great Reset” - you will own/be nothing, but you’ll be happy”.

    RC Christian, reorganized, translates to Rothschild is rich. FYI. An anagram. Every letter used once and rearranged. The remaining letters? an= clue for anagram. For those who may be confused by my reference, RC Christian is the pseudonym used by the man who commissioned the Georgia Guidestones.

    Pray people. Pray like your very existence depends upon it. It does. And fight with every fiber of your being. Please....

    Time to start thinking in measures to disable this artificial creatures.
    Robots will most likely be itself a faraday cage which means it will not be threatened by lightning, EMP/HPM, Communication frequencies jammer or whatever. It will probably be immune to those weapons because otherwise who would be insane to invest in such technology that would be relatively easy to disable (intentionally or not) and turn into a pile of rubbish?

    Maybe someone with knowledge about robotics/mechatronics could say something about it?

    I did read in one black market on Tor onion services, a seller was offering one sort of portable HPM and if I can remember well it was from Belarus, the buyer should meet in person to make the acquisition, if you dig enough you will find that this keyword "HPM" or "portable HPM" is quite spread around. It could be some sort of trap of course, never trust the internet.

    an EMP generator could work in order to protect permanently some premises from robots or drones, but I am not the expert and not sure if exposed permanently to emp would harm humans.

    A quote from navy [dot] mil
    "Studies related to the effects of electromagnetic weapons have been published infrequently, or remain classified.11 Nevertheless, it is known that a powerful HEMP field as it radiates outward can interfere with radio frequency links and disrupt electronic devices thousands of miles from the nuclear explosion. Effectiveness is increased if the electronic devices are connected to any metal that could also act as an antenna. Because infrastructure computer systems are interconnected, a widespread HEMP effect could lead to possible long-term disruption of power, fuel distribution, transportation systems, food and water supplies, hospitals, and law enforcement communications, as well as military communications systems which utilize the civilian infrastructure."

    I'm pretty sure a shotgun slug will convert any robot to a pile of trash. If you doubt it just check a few clips, of this very common ammo, on youtube.

    well, first we have to ensure we both understand the term "fractal" or "self similarity" or "everything old is new again" etc... the only real change seems to be context; like how in the 1920's they showed pictures of people on the subway reading news papers and lamenting about how society will be ruined, now we have the same pattern but with phones instead... self similarity.

    This can be expanded into predictive programing and a lot of other topics, but for now, a repeating pattern with shifting context works.

    inflection points, turning points, points of concentration... we seem to be at one now; that's all I meant, but the pattern turns back to familiarity; even with new context.

    WE are many, they are few... we are just a bit confused right now.... haha

    EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) is like a bomb for EMF (electro magnetic frequencies) it happens once, it's not a shield, it generally takes an enormous amount of power (in order to over come shielding etc).

    but machines are just machines... and humans are clever

    I'm not happy about the potential outcome of this, but I'm not going to loose sleep over it (yet).

    I really liked that aspect of Colony. The fighting back thing, I mean. Not to bad of a tvshow after all. I felt that the portrayed traitors such as "Helena" and "Alan Snyder" were thoughtful analogies to our own real world drama. Anyone here should give it a watch.

    Well that's predictive programing for you, IMO. They reel (no pun intended) you in with good acting and a theme of resistance. They add real life villain's who are psychopathic cowards at hart. It's like channeling, they put a lot of real info in or you would not read it. I confess I watched it. I have now in my mind how an alien take over could happen. I can collectively manifest that. I can also fear resistance and see the consequences for those who tried and failed.

    I actually liked this show and was sorry they cancelled it.

    It is interesting that it was speculated in the beginning by some viewers (including me) that there were no actual aliens but it was a human breakaway civilisation high-tech elite that did this thing and just deceiving the people with an alien invasion, because you never really saw any ETs during the first season. (In the end it turned out to be aliens though, or even two alien civilisations using Earth as a battleground).

    China has now copied (or maybe stolen) Boston Dynamics' design, creating a "mechanical yak":
    China Rips Off US Military With New "Mechanical Yak" Robot
    In what appears to be a direct ripoff of the US Army's quadrupedal robot, China showed off its new "mechanical yak," designed to go places deemed too risky for humans.

    Footage published on state-run media outlet People's Daily Online's YouTube page shows the quadrupedal robot performing maneuvers on all sorts of rugged terrain. The yak can carry 160 kilograms (334 pounds) while operating at 10 kilometers (six miles) per hour.



    The robot is designed to haul military equipment in the most challenging terrains, such as cliffs, mountains, trenches, deserts, snowy areas, and muddy roads.

    According to the state media, the yak has highly-advanced sensors that sense its environment and can avoid obstacles. It could be a game-changer for military logistics and reconnaissance missions on the heavily contested China-India border.

    The yak is nearly identical to the US Army's Boston Dynamics-built Legged Squad Support System, a powerful quadrupedal robot meant to carry gear, weapons, and other equipment. However, there's one big difference. The yak is battery powered while the US' is very noisy with a two-stroke petrol engine.



    In the age of killer robots, the modern battlefield will be fought with AI combat robots, fifth-generation fighter jets, jet packs, lasers, new main battle rifles, and whatever other new technology that can be easily molded into a killing machine.
