Nanotechnology: Nanoscale Particles A Health Hazard?
securitas writes "Before you start dreaming of all the benefits nanotechnology will bring you, think about the health hazards. Over two dozen studies that date back to 1984 indicate that nanoscale materials are toxic because their size allows them to be easily ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Proponents of nanotech dismiss the meta-study as nonsense, while the authors suggest a moratorium on nanotech development until further health research is completed." The paper (726 kB PDF) that prompted this article is available.
I mean, yeah, there are the obvious reasons, such as:
- Health research will take forever, so all these nanotech companies will be out of business by the time research is completed.
- Nanotech businesses need to start selling their products in order to turn a profit. Waiting for research to proceed will, again, put these companies out of business.
But there is another reason. It is less obvious than the above two. And it is as follows:The government wants development of nano-scale technologies so it can control its people, followed by the entire world. Ever heard of the CFR? It is the Council on Foreign Relations, and it is this entity that has pulled the strings behind the scenes of all presidencies since the Federal Reserve Bank and the Internal Revenue Service were created illegally. Do your research and you'll find that just about everybody who is (or has been) in any position of power in this country is (or was) a member of the CFR.
Whatever they say, the real mission of this organization is to take control of the entire world. It will look something like 1984... but techniques for taking over the world have failed over the centuries. Communism had a Great Purge and introduced, among other things, terrorism into the world. Do your research and you'll find that all the terrorism in the world originated in Communism. The idea was to scare the entire world so much that everybody would give up their freedoms in exchange for security. The Communist Party, as it would have been, would have "protected" everyone, much like how the Mafia will "protect" you from itself if you pay extortion. Other schemes have failed similarly.
The CFR is doing things differently. They are taking one small step at a time, slowly... very slowly. Nobody but a few computer geeks will ever notice that we are all 1% less free today than, say, ten years ago. And it has been, what? 70 years? The CFR is not using any specifically defined method to take over the world. They use whatever comes along. Video cameras are invented, so these are installed in every corner drugstore, restaurant, grocery store, police station, mall, and what-have-you. A number of people believe in the "Mark of the Beast," a technology that, in the end of days, will be implanted in every person's body. This technology would work in conjunction with satellites, GPS, communications technologies, etc. It would hold your money in the form of credits, as money is not backed by gold or anything else for that matter. It would hold your medical records. It would be so convenient because children could no longer be lost or kidnapped... and criminals could no longer get away with their crimes. In effect, it would take away all shadows of privacy. Already, this is beginning to take place. Increasingly, people are getting tatooes and body piercing, essentially getting used to the idea of artificial things placed in their bodies. It's only one step away to implant a convenient, tiny electronic device. And there would be no refusing it anyway, as cash would no longer be accepted anywhere, nor would credit cards or other methods of payment. Nanotechnology serves the purposes of government, as technologies could be sprayed into the air everywhere around the world. People would breathe these into their bodies and the government would know exactly where there are people who do not have "the mark." This is only one example. Many horrifying things could come of this.
