Nano Hazard Competition samples

Joni Mason | 07.01.2007 06:18 | Bio-technology | Technology

Etc Groups international Nanotechnology Hazard warning sign competition samples

Nanotechnology now being implimented is in many scientists opinion the biggest WMD ever with the potential to destroy the entire universe, but its being spouted as a cure for Global Warming.We all know there are already solutions, Gaia doesnt need muddling by minnie me corporate scientists pumping out more shite in name of progress.
Many of Nano's top proponents see Nano as next stage of"evolution", where humans & carbon based life eventually becomes obsolete & we get the Matrix in the form of what they call Singularity.

Makes some people hope peak oil does happen before corporate industry destroys all of us, unless we achieve a serious revolution & save our arses.
Kick ass Action needed

Other last min effort on basic paint programme wont upload,shite, oh well not my forte, Iam better at & its more fun foghorning nano military conferences, even police laughed when we said we were there to arrest the scientists for WMD.
Public interested in information handed out at conference, masks & pisstaking helped, although accusing a snobby guy in posh business suit of being a nazi was a bad idea, if your reading this, sorry, your just an arsey posh twat.

Good news is Swiss re the 2nd biggest insurance company think nanotech isnt big or clever too as does report by Royal society & if nano doesnt kill us predictions are we have until roughly 2025 to stop singularity

Hazard Warning

07.01.2007 14:55

That sign is a start. but it is too complex. To get an idea of what is ay stake I will report what I said at a GM Seminar funded by the Givernment in the Chemistry Building in London:
"Learn from the Chemists whose building we are in. They invented CFCs back in the 1920s, and put them into production without finding the hazards that would cause. It took them fifty years to find out the potential for CFCs to destroy Ozone. Ther is now enough Chlorine up there to catalyse the protective Ozone layer out of existence if it gets cold enough uop there." I went on to demand that no GM genes be allowed loose in the environment until the hazards have been investigated for at least fifty years.

Those Morons in he Government paid no attention, and there are fiels trials going on without Porton Down standards of security.

The Nano Scientists have no idea what can go wrong in their technology, Perhaps it does not matter, all Life on earth could become extinct quite soon as Science is now allied with Moneymaking,

My idea for a warning is rows of Scientists hanging in nooses. That is a prediction, not an advocacy.

hey, why stop at just the Earth?

'the biggest WMD ever with the potential to destroy the entire universe'

Right. These evil devices are going to travel faster than light?

"masters" of the universe

08.01.2007 20:09

unfortunately the universe destruction scenario was envisaged by one of nano's earliest "pioneers"& scientific thinkers & didnt originate in pages of Daily Maily or Expresses scare stories as propagandists want u to believe.

Molecular nanotechnology pioneer Eric Drexler in his book Engines of Creation (1986) used the term grey goo . In Chapter 4, Engines Of Abundance, Drexler illustrates both exponential growth and inherent limits by describing nanomachines that can function only if given special raw materials:

"Imagine such a replicator floating in a bottle of chemicals, making copies of itself....the first replicator assembles a copy in one thousand seconds, the two replicators then build two more in the next thousand seconds, the four build another four, and the eight build another eight. At the end of ten hours, there are not thirty-six new replicators, but over 68 billion. In less than a day, they would weigh a ton; in less than two days, they would outweigh the Earth; in another four hours, they would exceed the mass of the Sun and all the planets combined - if the bottle of chemicals hadn't run dry long before."

Drexler describes grey goo in Chapter 11 Engines Of Destruction:

"...early assembler-based replicators could beat the most advanced modern organisms. 'Plants' with 'leaves' no more efficient than today's solar cells could out-compete real plants, crowding the biosphere with an inedible foliage. Tough, omnivorous 'bacteria' could out-compete real bacteria: they could spread like blowing pollen, replicate swiftly, and reduce the biosphere to dust in a matter of days. Dangerous replicators could easily be too tough, small, and rapidly spreading to stop - at least if we made no preparation. We have trouble enough controlling viruses and fruit flies."
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_goo


ok this might not take universe but close, but with singularity is by far greatest threat to life the earth & everything to quote a hitchhiker.

Some say replication could be hemmed by inability of non carbon based life forms to combine their molecules as easily , but replicants are being designed to take many molecular forms & structures, cybernetic etc.

Obviously we neednt worry cos nano will save us from global warming & defeat against muslim hoardes apperently as well making dirt resistant neck ties,wow.

Sometimes I hope peak oil kicks in soon, cos my resistance & most of us in west isnt very effective at mo

this is Iraqi resistance showing victories & calling for effective antiwar movement resurgence in the west to end the war

the powerful oligarchy hides behind "democracy", Ive been to the real global elites meetings & their security is v.minimal, they love the fact we go their G8 patsies & have co-opted a twisted form of climate change as part of their agenda.
Which private undemocratic organisation started in 1973, same year as G8 controls through its participating corporations over 60% of global wealth via terrorism?

us hegemony & the ........ by Stephen Gill

solid info has been coming from anarcho & left wing on these groups since their instigation, but this has been so far been hemmed in by corporate propaganda & laughable slurs that people exposing it with same slurs aimed at those supporting Palestinians. Its actually Christian Methodism that most of top capitalists seem to prefer, not that it matters much.
Hopefully more educated people will see thru the smokescreen, it really isnt that hard, if we dont the 90year olds in the corporate oligarchy's politburo will most probably take cybernetic form "their last hope" & increasingly see possibly enact the Kissingers NSC doctrines of population control before being consumed by the technology themselves or suiciding.

This was sent to the New Scientist and never used. It has all of the requirements for an internationally recognised hazard symbol. But it looks like a swastika
