Gene Doping. Read it again. Gene Doping. This will most likely be the biggest problem in the world of professional sports, and we unfortunately won’t have to wait long. Doping experts say that we might see the first cases of this “sci-fi” method of doping during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It will be the most talked about issue during the 2012 London Olympics.

Doctor Hemmersbach, anti-doping lab at Aker University Clinic in Oslo says “We don’t think anybody is currently using gene doping, but we estimate that it’s about five years in the future. It’s an extremely complex field, and using gene technology as doping requires incredible expertise”. Hemmersback is part of the IOC’s Medical Commission Games Group, tasked with EPO and gene doping. We will most likely see it used in race horses and race dogs initially, but chances are good for it to transfer onto the arena of professional sports.

Currently, it is almost impossible to detect any manipulation of genes, but the good news for anti-doping agencies is that researchers are very likely to find ways detect it. Gene doping is dangerous for the user, since it involves injecting viruses into the body. This can lead to various diseases, such as cancer. Unfortunately, history has shown that some athletes are willing to take such risks. Just look at the problems that EPO caused when we knew less about it. Thickening of the blood and rapid drop in blood pressure would be countered by the cheating athlete by setting the alarm at night in order to get up and move around. This would increase blood pressure and blood flow, most of the time…

During the cold war we had a some very good anti-aircraft and land based mobile missile defense systems. Could we take one of these systems and scale it down, miniaturize it and use it to defend and protect our oil refineries, infrastructure and national security interests? Could we take let’s say a smaller and lighter version of the “Lance” mobile missile systems of the cold war, with a similar theory and place it on a Sandia “Sarge” type tiny mobile autonomous unit. Then employ these robotic security systems along defendable perimeter locations?

We could put them on the border when we attack Canada and take some property off their hands for aiding and abedding International Terrorists, so if they tried to fly one of those little Israeli UAVs they are buying over our border we would dust it immediately. Just kidding, but we need to be thinking defense and offence here to have a proper discussion on anti-attack defense systems. Obviously we are not going to war with Canada, but we do have our enemies in the Middle East harboring International Terrorists and some State Sponsored Insurgents attacking our troops in Iraq? Could we use such a system like this there to prevent intrusions over the borders? Perhaps we could, but how you ask?

Well lets first look at the issues with guarding oil assets as the International Terrorists wish to take down our economy using oil as a weapon knowing we need the oil to run our civilization. If we pay humans to carry weapons to patrol a perimeter of let’s say an oil refinery then will they be able to take out a single mission UAV which will self destruct and explode on impact and even if they did hit it, which is highly unlikely, could they take out a swarm of them? The answer is no, you have just lost you oil refinery asset.

Now then let us re-think a man-portable stinger missile type system, when you may have to worry about a swarm of these little UAVs, each with 5-10 lbs of plastic explosives or even a smaller payload per explosion of two-hand grenades, you see the problem. The International Terrorists may not be able to take out your entire refinery, but they might get lucky and start an uncontrollable fire.

Remember those Refinery fires outside of London, early reports, which were later denied said that an aircraft flew over prior to the explosions? Well did they throw something out; if so what. Was that aircraft manned or was it a small UAV; if so could it have been shot down with an intercepting UAV devise or a man-portable unit; perhaps? But only if the security force was alerted, actually saw it and focus, identify and fire in time.

Could a man sit and wait to fire it? Do you want to put a unit such as this into the hands of a civilian $10 per hour security guard? Not me? That type of weapon in the hands of the wrong person who knew and was trained how to use it could be used to take out a commercial airliner. Not funny.

Yet if the International Terrorists continue to attack non-military soft targets for PR and oil or natural gas assets we have serious issues as we must defend the flows of our civilization right? So how about an Aerostat or UAV which is tethered on a track with a system on it to detect such an incoming threat which would interact with a robotic perimeter defense system then you could potentially defeat anything which comes close and thus defend such an asset? Think on this.

Animals are known to predict Earthquakes right? We know this already and we have a pretty good idea how they are doing it too. You see we believe they pick up the vibrational changes in Mother Earth, as our Planet has a certain resonance. When it changes the animals being very close to nature without all this frequency pollution sense something is not right. Humans probably can do the same thing too, but we are so over bombarded with frequency pollution and information over load we do not recognize the changes as readily.

This subject recently came up in an online think tank when one member who has been studying this topic stated;

“Another example is how some birds are sensitive to variations in the earth’s magnetic field, used for navigation. A device that monitors the ultra low and high sound frequencies, the strength and polarity of the local magnetic field, ambient static electricity levels, vibration detectors and gas monitors to ’smell’ the air would, after a period of calibration, I think help enormously in predicting imminent eruptions and earthquakes. Anyone know how to build it?”

My thoughts are to build a set of boxes with a certain type of gas inside each and affixing it to a grounded rock with a giant pole stuck in the ground. When the combinations of changes in the gases of the various boxes are excited to a certain level the sensors inside will read them and say; “Beep” on a computer peripheral warning device. That I think could work.

I did read somewhere that someone had designed something with holes in it and the gas would become excited and whistle through the holes. It makes sense to me and those folks should get an award if their device in fact works along with the scientists working with SETI on frequency monitoring Earthquake Precursory Waves. Consider this in 2006.

While we may be seeking an alternative health education, an iridology training program may be the unique option of choice. Iridology schools, distance learning classes and online education programs teach individuals how to read and analyze the iris of the eye.

Iridology training courses vary in length and cost, but often provide a curriculum that introduces the tools and techniques regarding iridology. Iridology training begins by teaching interested individuals how to work with an iris map for left and right irides. Essential iridology educational courses enable students to identify and assess varying colors, marks and/or patterns in blue and brown eyes. Through comprehensive iridology training, future practitioners learn how to distinguish these patterns and associate them with conditions that correspond to relevant organ tissues.

For the more serious individual, an advanced iridology training course will allow persons to not only practice iridology as a diagnostic tool, but will also teach students how to apply basic herbal remedies to help treat individual symptoms and conditions.

In addition to herbal essentials, advanced iridology training programs may include kinesiology (muscle testing); emotional healing; pH testing as well as related professional seminars with focus on case histories; heart; digestive system, and colon/intestinal system (in relation to the iris).

Iridology training institutions and programs may provide necessary educational tools including a magnifying lens, penlight, self exam mirror, reading record forms, eye charts, anatomical map and other needed work and text books required for course completion.

In closing, students who have completed full course iridology training programs may opt to become certified through various iridology associations.

So many humans fear change and the advances of science and they will claim that modern advances are evil. They will say that God wanted us this way and not to modify human life or better ourselves. But if so and if one submits that there is a God or Gods then why would he, she, it or them give us such a large brain if problem solving was not an intended attribute?

Many critics of technology will say such human sciences and advances lack integrity to what it is to be human and deny that God made us in his image and wants us to remain this way? Interesting comment and even more interesting would be the question that how would these detractors of science know that?

There is no lack of integrity to giving a soldier an artificial knee, a grandma a new hip or a fireman a new arm. You see, tere is nothing wrong with giving me a better brain or a system to use so I can accomplish more and be better at my work and research using all I have and bettering it. Whether it is an artificial piece of technology or a super vitamin C pill to allow us to be better, healthier and stronger; that is a good thing and it is not evil, not even close.

A combination for computerized technologies we can interface with and betting our own bio-system to work more efficient might be the right way to go, and we should find out. If we fail to advance our technologies, then we fail the species and our own future from catastrophe, calamity or potential eventuality, you see? Not to mention failing one’s god, by putting forth a meager effort to help people with injuries, ailment or brain decay disease. Think on this.

Stun Guns are getting more precise and more powerful each research year. Non-lethal technologies are moving ahead faster than ever before. Much of this is in response to the fight on International Terrorism the world over and America’s personal attack called the “War On Terror” and personal it is after we were attacked out of the blue on September 11, 2001.

Currently the War in Iraq and the close proximity issues with Urban Conflict non-lethal technologies are preferred as it cuts down on the collateral damage and loss of life from non-combatants and normal citizens.

Riots such as the huge riots in France, where 15,000 plus automobiles were torched with Molotov Cocktails and hundreds of structures burned in 402 cities could have used non-lethal stun gun technologies if they were properly deployed and ready to go.

Having weapons, which could literally drop armies of 100,000 or more troops to their knees in seconds is indeed a relevant weapon to prevent further blood shed. Winning a war without killing your enemy but rather having him surrender and lose his will to fight may be a very large part in the future of war.

How could this be possible you ask? Well by using stun gun technology on a massive scale, able to work at one mile or more away. Think on this in 2006.
