I SAW A MOVIE Recently in which a big chemical or pharmaceutical company of some sort, owned by a scotsman who was a descendant of a martyred rebel, developed a nano technology warhead, which upon impact unleashed hordes of microscopic machines which proceed to devour everything.
This concept is gaining popularity in science fiction; nano warfare, along with nano medicine. These tiny machines could be programmed to either rebuild someboey's healthy body, or destroy the world. If they ever exist, and it looks like they will, they will have to be accompanied by very tight controls and agreements.
The movie got me to thinking, (a bad omen in itself). How many giant pharmaceutical companies are there in the united states? Five? There used to be five, and i used to be able to remember all their names. Merck, Ely Lily, and so forth. By now some of them might have merged, to form an even stronger corporate monopoly, or oligarchy, within the drug industry.
Do any or all of these companies have biological warfare divisions? Just wondering. Something about that movie, whose name I forget, that makes me wonder. Do any or all of these companies sell deadly weapons to the U.S. government, to defend liberty, promote justice, peace, and the american way, and to protect good upstanding harmless citizens such as myself?
In the movie the idea was that the mad scotsman billioniare industrialist was selling deadly weapons to all sides simultaneously (like his "martyred" ancestor had done in the seventeenth century}. I hope our good upstanding american corps are sellling to the syrian government, for instance. Of course, you never know.
