At a covert forward operating base run by the US Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, members of an elite division of Blackwater are at the center of a secret program in which they plan targeted assassinations of suspected Taliban and Al Qaeda operatives, "snatch and grabs" of high-value targets and other sensitive action inside and outside Pakistan, an investigation by The Nation has found. The Blackwater operatives also assist in gathering intelligence and help direct a secret US military drone bombing campaign that runs parallel to the well-documented CIA predator strikes, according to a well-placed source within the US military intelligence apparatus.

MKULTRA
Project MK-ULTRA, or MKULTRA, was the code name for a covert CIA mind-control and chemical interrogation research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence. This official U.S. government program began in the early 1950s, continuing at least through the late 1960s, and it used United States citizens as its test subjects.The published evidence indicates that Project MK-ULTRA involved the surreptitious use of many types of drugs, as well as other methods, to manipulate individual mental states and to alter brain function.
America's Phoney Wars Part 2: Project Northwoods
Would it be too far-fetched, too scandalous, or too insensitive to propose that the US Government, or high powered elite members of that government, pre-planned, instigated and carried out acts of terrorism on its own citizens on September 11th? The answer unfortunately is NO. It has been OFFICIALLY REVEALED via declassified government documentation that in the past the US military and government has covertly planned to perpetrate acts of terror upon innocent civilians in order to justify an engagement in conflict that would benefit the government’s agenda. Given these facts, we must entertain a possibility that the mainstream media would not ever consider investigating: were the WTC buildings and the lives of those who worked there sacrificed by American elites in order to engage in another Phoney American war?

World’s Smallest Radio
From US News and World Report
Is that iPod Nano starting to feel a little bulky? No worries. Scientists have now created a radio made from a single carbon nanotube—a rolled up sheet of carbon atoms—that’s one ten-thousandth the diameter of a human hair. Two of the devices could fit into a common cold virus. The single tube performs all the necessary radio functions, and it’s tunable to your favorite FM station—if you have access to an electron microscope and some very teensy scissors.

Bionic Eye
Contact lenses with circuits, lights a possible platform for superhuman vision
Movie characters from the Terminator to the Bionic Woman use bionic eyes to zoom in on far-off scenes, have useful facts pop into their field of view, or create virtual crosshairs. Off the screen, virtual displays have been proposed for more practical purposes -- visual aids to help vision-impaired people, holographic driving control panels and even as a way to surf the Web on the go.

The device to make this happen may be familiar. Engineers at the University of Washington have for the first time used manufacturing techniques at microscopic scales to combine a flexible, biologically safe contact lens with an imprinted electronic circuit and lights.

Entire Synthetic Genome Created
Entire Synthetic Genome Created
Scientists yesterday announced that they have successfully created an entire synthetic genome in the lab by stitching together the DNA of the smallest known free-living bacterium, Mycoplasma genitalium.

Experts are hailing the research as an important breakthrough in genetic manipulation that will one day lead to the "routine" creation of synthetic genomes—possibly including those of mammals.
