An interesting and well written article!

Great research there! Was aware that all this nanotech has been going on for a decade or so but no idea it was in a deployable state with very practical outcomes (like you speculate). So interesting (from a detached perspective) and so frightening (from an autonomous individual's perspective).

What's most descriptively termed the "Rise of the Machines" is a subject I rarely broach with even my most conspiratorially minded friends, due primarily to the extremely high bar an individual must be able to clear to even understand the classified history, operating principles and technological development required -- which you've neatly outlined in these most recent articles.

Three cheers for even attempting to take on this most challenging subject, only taken seriously by the what the uninitiated refer to as the tinfoil hat crowd. That said, it has been of personal interest for the last 25 years or so, having spent some time working in the process automation and defense tech fields in a "previous life".

It's disappointing to see you giving this tale some life. It's wrong on many levels.

The Microsoft patent application is for a scheme to monitor peoples actions and reward them for actions you want them to do. It could be tied to gaming, employee productivity or social credit applications. (Did you mess with your gaming console more aggressively than your opponent so you win the match? Are you being a good little slave and typing at your computer all day? Are you exercising the amount the party requires each day?) It isn't in any way related to sending information into or out of a body.

As for your implementation description:

* It's unlikely that the nanonodes and transducers you describe could be directed to any specific place in the body let alone pass the blood brain barrier. Pfizer hasn't been able to control where the spike proteins go and most molecules (including Ivermectin) can't pass the blood-brain barrier.

*Routers are complex things that can't (at anything like current technology) be reduced to the sizes required to pass through a syringe.

*For the injection site to act as an antenna it would have to have elements protruding from the surface of the skin. That's assuming you could attach things under the skin that were capable of receiving information in the first place.

Signals don't pass through animal tissue very well. That's why Apple had problems with one of their phone versions when people held it "wrong". Their fingers blocked the signal to and from the internal antennas. If they couldn't get data in and out of a phone with its monster battery due to the absorption by fingers how are nano anything (that rely on miniscule energy harvested from chemicals in your blood) going to transmit signals from one to another through multiple inches of human tissue.

I happen to know quite a bit about artificial ears. State of the art technology to implant electrodes in the cochlea, and the electronics required to channel signals from external body packs (that pick up the sound and process it) to those electrodes is pre-stone age compared to what you are suggesting. On top of that, the technology to transcode the audio into signals that drive the electrodes still requires lots of high tech hardware just to get a few percent of the audio resolution.

I'm really disappointed in you for not doing better research on this. I know you say you don't believe it and you are only describing how it MIGHT work. Describing some possible workable portions without covering the grossly unworkable parts isn't good reporting or good commentary.

The danger in what you wrote isn't just that some people may believe it and get worked into a panic over imaginary hobgoblins. The bigger issue is that the mainstream will point to articles like this to discredit you and the others in the alternative media. They can use material like this to show everyone else that we're a bunch of crazies.

and how do we interpret Fauci's statements to the House (referring to EO 13887) :

"the President signed the Executive Order on

Modernizing Influenza Vaccines in the United States to Promote National Security and Public

Health on September 19, 2019. Broadly, the Executive Order directs BARDA, CDC, NIH, and

FDA to accelerate the adoption of improved influenza vaccine technologies. In alignment with

the goals of the Executive Order, NIAID is conducting and supporting research to develop state-

of-the-art vaccine platform technologies that could be used to develop universal influenza

vaccines as well as to improve the speed and agility of the influenza vaccine manufacturing

process. These platform technologies include DNA, messenger RNA (mRNA), virus-like particles, vector-based, and self-assembling nanoparticle vaccines."

Oh man. I don't want to doxx myself too hard, but you've sort of nerd-sniped me with this one. I studied self-assembling structures in some depth... read dozens of articles, wrote software... I recall even "self-assembling" my initials out of flakey little simulated particles for a class assignment. I could post a whole bibliography, but I don't think it would be prudent... or all that relevant, honestly. There's a lot of research here, it's a whole field.

Short story is, I'm skeptical about how practical any of this stuff is, especially within a live human body. If you want to self-assemble some clot-inducing haystack mess of graphene, or maybe even some sort of primitive RF antenna, sure, I can see that. But there are much more straightforward ways to quietly kill people with injections. Self-assembly of nontrivial mechanisms or circuits? In vivo? Nah, not any time soon.

Wow, thanks for this great well researched article. I like your tone as well, open curiosity. 👍🏼

Thank you for noting these amazing developments in the last few decades. Distributed digital assets (cryptographically secured currencies included) and decentralized settlement systems are often seen by futurists as the crucial "oil" that will be needed to monetize transactions (state changes) that enable or disable certain things.

One utility of this this model is having the ability to control the amount of cycles a specific construction can last. "Recharging" something may be pre-conditioned on getting a payment.
