Cyberpunk Radio - #104 - Socio Politics of Religious Fear
DJ Defwheezer, Dead Prez (Police State), the mashing politics of religious fear mongering in the 2008 elections and beyond. As the nomination process for the Democratic Presidential nominee winds down, Hillary, obviously weakened by the stress of the campaign, lets slip some of her true (and frankly racist) feelings regarding her support among "hard working uneducated whites" (aka "crackers"). Clinton's verbal slip sealed her fate as a has bin politician aligned with the agents of intolerance. Goodbye and good riddance. Now, if only he can avoid getting acute lead poisoning, Barrack will be the next leader of the free world.mp3 file: CPR104Duration: 13:31File Size: 13146045

Cyberpunk Radio - #103 - MEMS - Machines, Flesh, and the Pentagons Insect Cyborg Army
TIMESTAMP 2008-04-17;Singularity Index: 0.81;The Meating of Flesh and Machine;SkyNet "ground and air" protection and enforcement;Right now, secret factories are mass producing Cyborg Armies of insects with electronics embedded inside them. They've creating swarms of cyborg moths and flying beetles that can be controlled remotely. The U.S. military fields squadrons of these winged insect/machine hybrids with on-board audio, video or chemical sensors and biowarfare payloads. The cyborg insects conduct surveillance and reconnaissance missions on distant battlefields, in far-off caves, but also closer to home- in most major US cities, transmitting detailed data back to their handlers at U.S. intelligence and military bases.The Pentagon aims to exponentially increase the paranoia of an already omnipresently surveilled society; any insect fluttering past your window may be a remote-controlled spy, packed with surveillance equipment. Even more frightening is that such creatures could be weaponized, that these cyborg insects might be armed with bioweapons.For the past 50 years, work by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has led to some of the most spectacularly precision lethal weaponry in the U.S. arsenal: from Hellfire-missile-equipped Predator drones and stealth bombers to the Javelin portable "fire and forget" guided missiles. For decades now, DARPA has been funneling significant sums of money into a very different kind of guided missile project, its Hybrid Insect Micro-Mechanical Systems (HI-MEMS) program. This project has developed tightly coupled machine-insect interfaces by placing micro-mechanical systems inside the insects during the early stages of metamorphosis.- creating cyborg insects.Technicians grow MEMS and electronics inside the insect pupae. The new tissue forms around the insertions, making the bio-electronic interface long-lasting and reliable." In other words, micro-electronics are inserted at the pupal stage of metamorphosis so that they can be integrated into the insects' bodies as they develop, creating living robots that can be remotely controlled after the insect emerges from its cocoon.Through the implanted "multiple inserted neural and muscular stimulators, a visual stimulator, a nano assembly and a microcontroller" in a flying beetle, one can modulate the insect's flight starts, stops, throttle/lift, and turning. That is, you can literally drive an actual beetle. Using advanced simplex matrix computer algorithms, fluidic behavior patterns can be used to precisely direct large numbers of these cyborg bugs simultaneously in gigantic swarms of insects.This project is progressing at an increasingly rapid pace.Under the rubric of creating a cyborb insect-based ?military micro-surveillance system? DARPA's actual long-term goal for the HI-MEMS program has a more sinister goal. They are designing and testing what are essentially robot bombs, that look and act like swarms of bugs and birds, armed with bioweaponary spreading death to the intended targets." Laced with anthrax, botulinum, Ricin, or Tularema, for instance.Insect cyborgs are easily mass produced. Also, the engineering needed to produce beetles with greater-than-normal size and payload capacity is relatively simple- the thorax can be truncated to reduce its mass and add MEMS components where abdominal segments would have been, during the larval stage. The optimal spots to insert a neural stimulator is behind the eye, in the flight control area of the insect brain, the main flight powering muscle is in the dorsal-thorax, accessed via the neuromuscular ganglion in the peri thorax. Guidance parameters are delivered via global positioning system (GPS).DARPA?s Pentagon-funded scientists churn out inventions with potentially deadly, implications without ever fully considering -- let alone seeking public or expert comment on -- the future ramifications of new technologies under production."The people who build this equipment are always going to say that they're just building tools, that there are legitimate uses for them, and that it isn't their fault if the tools are abused," ...Can you say "SkyNet"?adapted from article by Tom Engelhardt

Cyberpunk Radio - #101 - Mechanical Animal
First off- The definition of creativity itself is up for debate: The advent of the robotic musician is still pretty far from your Timestamp circa 2008, however your near future will see profound changes in how we perceive "creativity", and how "creative" content is produced, manipulated, and monetized. In the simplest sense, robotic artists perform by reorganizing learned concepts into a very complex matrix resonant with biological electromechanical sensory and processing systems in humans. EMI and capturedbyrobots exemplifies this concept. It may be that human composers are in fact unconsciously do the same thing.Then we have:Captured by Robots - We Are SuperiorFree Horsie Rides - My CyborgThe Chinese Stars - Sick MachineKochalka - Monkey Vs Robotoutro is Robot War by LadymilkAudio FileLength 13:48Size: 13386881

Cyberpunk Radio - #100 - Tails of the Apocalypse
Post apocalypse,Free Software(Fenster), NarCeeCee and the Presidential virtual battlespace (DJ Defwheezer),misc batshit,World is a Ghetto (Geto Boys),(I can't) Say No to Drugs (Dayglo Abortions).Mechanico-cutaneous sensor gloves, electrodes gather feedback from the subjects? brain cells. Sensors on the subjects ' hands, arms and legs track movement while mathematical models analyze the relationship between the subjects movement and activity in the brain's motor and sensory cortex. These signals are then passed on to a remote robotic battle system deployed in the field.Neuromechanical remote sensing and control console. NRSCC (?NarsCeeCee?)The original proof of concept model was bulky, not unlike a space suit worn by astronauts, and trailed a thick tangle of fiber optic cables which connected the kinetic suit to a supercomputing matrix. The ensemble he wore today in contrast felt more like the body armored business suit which had become the mainstay of his wardrobe since assuming the Presidency. Communication between the suit and the computer matrix was completely wireless, and the 360 degree virtual battle station monitors allowed submersion so effective, that even battle hardened veterans came out particularly hairy remote special ops reeking of BO and sweat and in need of intense formal psychological debriefing, despite never having been in any actual physical danger themselves.There would be no real world remote ops today though, as the President selected ?special ops simulation: Scenario Crimson?. Even though it was only a simulation, the familiar cold sweat was already forming a dark spade shaped shadow between his shoulder blades as the simulation loaded- when the monitors finally sprung to life he experienced the usual involuntary sphincter contraction. He found himself in the Situational awareness and command room aboard Air Force One, surrounded by his senior military and political staff, everyone?s eyes riveted to the main screen filled with a headshot of a masked woman who was speaking directly into the camera. Text scrolling along the lower half of the screen translated the woman?s words- but either the translation was garbled, or, more likely, the woman was on an incoherent anti-western screed.The ?Mystic Star? icon flashed in the status bar of his HUD, indicated the network was using a hardened backup military communications system. The president silently noted this and it?s meaning was ominously clear: primary communication systems were down, due to either power grid failure or high energy interference from nuclear fallout.The voice of the SENTCOM operations command officer in Yucca mountain rasped in his headset: ?We located the video?s transmission site in northern Pakistan and we?ve launched a submarine based tactical nuke tipped cruise missile to intercept.?The woman on the screen fell silent for a moment, as if she had lost her train of thought, then stiffened, just before the screen went white with static. SENTCOM cut in again: ?Target neutralized.? Hopefully that was the video transmissions? origin and not just a relay station, the president thought detachedly.The plane buffeting sharply, the screens flickered and several systems went into automatic reboot. ?Another blast wave? intoned the pilot over the intercom, ?looks like it was in the vicinity of Chicago, well behind us, thank god.? ?Do we know who?s hitting us yet?? the President asked coldly?Best guess right now is either Russian or Pakistani based terrorists? said Condi in a haggard voice.?Best Guess?!? He rumbled, ?this?is no fucking time for guessing??Sir, I???Never mind Condi,? he said more evenly, reaching out and grasping her shoulder. He could feel her trembling, and looking her in the eyes, saying softly ?how long till we get to Yucca??The President didn?t wait for her reply, but instead invoked the ?Pause? command. The virtual world faded and he was left staring at the blackened monitors. He sat mulling the scenario. A full blown nuclear conflict with no certainty who started it and no clear idea who to retaliate against. He was jolted from his reverie by the clank of the Crisis phone, the flashing red gangling demanding his attention. Putting the receiver to his hear he could hear the voice of General Fallon ?Sir, we must get you to a hardened bunker- there?s been reports of a large blast, likely nuclear, in the Los Angeles area.?There are four things in the Football. The Black Book containing the retaliatory options, a book listing classified site locations, a description of procedures for the Emergency Broadcast System, and a three-by-five inch card with authentication codes. The basic options for retaliation are, to paraphrase, ?Rare, Medium, or Well Done?.Audio FileLength 22:07Size: 21348723

Hack vtv: "Clinton and McCain = More of the Same"
America Decides 2008!With the united states of America 2008 election winnowing process well under way, the Puri Media Group present a straightforward analysis of the lead candidates.As we approach the critical 2008 elections, the fundamental similarity between the anointed front runners Hillary Clinton and John McCain is revealed. Democrats, and America, cannot afford to screw up again. Bush?s blatant, and thus transparent, disregard for the rule of Congress (eg, the Rule of Law) and the people has revealed a common agenda. The World cannot afford a continuation of wanton unregulated slash and burn capitalism. We also cannot afford a continuation of the ?Long War? on ?Terror?- it?s bankrupting America much as the Cold War bankrupted the USSR and led to it?s collapse.Democrats, Independents and Republicans need to rally for a new era in Washington politics before it?s too late. The divisive polarized politics of the past must be minimized, and Obama has the personality and Leadership to do that. Clinton and McCain represent the bitterly partisan politics of the late 1900s. Obama is a President who can lead America proudly into the 21st Century and start to repair the damage done by George W Bush and his ilk. Obama is by no means perfect, but we don?t have the luxury of perfect, and Obama is the one candidate who admits that in politics as in life, ?none of our hands are clean.? But we need to send a clear message: Unite for Change- let the power brokers that we, the people, still have a voice in our world politic.Music by Bus#56 ?More of the Same?

CyberPunkRadio - #89 - End of the World - Meat Harvest (mp3)
From the Pluri Media Group Archives.TIMESTAMP: 20 07History speaks of Galactic Masters who left in the framework of the calendar an advanced culture and a galactic code, synchronicity of the planets, the cycle of the galaxy.One full galactic ?turn? describes the circumscription of a given celestial object relative to the core of the galaxy, and is inclusive of the conventional 3 Dimensions along with the time-gravity influence.The magnetic polarity of a given celestial object is determined by the polarity of the galactic core it circles. As the object passes through the electromagnetic ?equator? of the galactic core, it may experience fluctuations in it?s own otherwise stable polarity. Changes in polarity result in the planet shifted on it?s rotational axis, what once was frozen tundra could shift to jungle, and once fertile regions now frozen polar wastelands. As the molten core of the planet slowly changes directions, tectonic mantles grate together, sparking massive volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.? Our computer systems deconvoluted the cyclic nature of extinction events. From the Aztecs, who had inherited their calendar from the Maya, the Maya attributed their incredibly complex calendric system as well as their passion for studying the solar system and astrological divination through numeration and the repetition of cycles to another people whose origin was lost in the dim past- (Sumerians) who in turn were instructed by (Nephilim), supremely technologically advanced extraterrestrial beings.? Cross referencing untold quantities of data, the Pluri Media Systems, Controlled and organically modulated, by Cortex itself- the heart of the Pluri Media Group Matrix Hive.? Turns every 63 million yrs, 5125.4 yr ?eras?, the deconvoluted calendar confessed the final 5,125 year cycle prior to the next turn started in 3113 B.C. - A.D. 2012? The Maya-based Aztec calendar places S in the center of the calendar. S represents a point of synthesis. We are currently in the thirteenth cycle, the cycle of the Transformation of Matter spanning the years 1618 to 2012. The last subcycle of this Age began in 1992 and ends in 2012. ? The glyph for this final subcycle of the galactic ?turn?, as it were, a turn inclusive of both conventional 3D and time, is Storm followed by Sun; a period of intense darkness followed by one of light. This is where we are today, in the grip of a power made apocalyptic idiot king and his hatchet man Dick, Dick Cheney, VP of the corporation of America. As the world is consumed by a headlong rush to out consume each other into the final death spiral of self annihilation.But take heed meat puppets, your world will be harvested of flesh soon. The cycle will begin again. The periodic visit of the harvesters- harvest meat. Yes. Meat. Whether it?s dinosaur or human, they care not- meat is meat. And this planet earth is ripe indeed? with meat. Best harvested prior to the impending cyclic extinction event. TIMESTAMP: 20 07.
