Το μέλλον θα πέσει στα κεφάλια μας, κρώζοντας 'μπλιπ'

Οι φυλές δεν είναι πια αυτό που ήταν κάποτε.
4. The Arab tribe was, and in most cases still is, so democratic as to be almost entirely lacking in discipline. The ordinary tribal shaikh has no power to enforce compliance with his decisions. Tribal law is, therefore, based on the absence of any central authority, and hence on the absence of punishment. It is, in fact, little more than civil law, laying down the compensation to be paid to the aggrieved party. Even where damages are awarded, however, there are no police to enforce payment unless the plaintiff can himself collect it. Thus, in tribal law there is no State interested in punishing offenders in order to deter others from crime. There is only the aggrieved party seeking justice. In order, however, to give some security to individuals, the tribe, the section and the family support the aggrieved party in obtaining his rights. (p. 176) (SAL)
USAF μη σκύβεις το κεφάλι, ο μόνος τρόπος είναι, αντίσταση και πάλη
The fact that all of the services are rapidly expanding their drone fleets and experimenting with even more exotic models is the strongest proof of the success of battlefield UAVs. Fearing a gutting of its relevance and thus its budget, the U.S. Air Force, led by its Chief of Staff General Michael Moseley, attempted to take command of all UAVs that fly above 3,500 feet. The Air Force argued that consolidating medium- and high-altitude UAVs under one “executive agent” would ensure efficiencies in research and procurement, and would deliver system-wide compatibility. The other services, particularly the Army, retorted that the Air Force’s power grab would stifle innovation, and leave the ground forces vulnerable to a possibly unresponsive Air Force, both in development and on the battlefield.
Μη επανδρωμένα αεροσκάφη εναντίον φυλών, νομαδικών και αστικών. Οι οιονοί είναι καθαροί, το μέλλον έρχεται από τον ουρανό. Ο Skynet δεν θα είναι ένα νευρωνικό δίκτυο υπολογιστών. Αλλά ιπτάμενα ρομπότ που μόνα τους θα αυτοοργανωθούν σε σμήνη.

Πριν συμβεί αυτό, και κατά το προηγούμενο των ψυχότροπων ουσιών, θα ποινικοποιηθούν οι επανδρωμένες πτήσεις.
