January 31, 2011 Tomgram: Nick Turse, Making Mahem (It's Spelled Correctly!)
[Note for TomDispatch Readers: Holy
Toledo! I can’t believe how many new subscribers arrived at
TomDispatch in response to my recent requests for help. So an
especially enthusiastic final thanks to all of you who, in
response to recent pleas, urged others to sign up for the email notice
that goes out every time this site posts a piece. If you meant to do so,
but haven't yet, now’s still the perfect time! Just tell friends,
acquaintances, colleagues, relatives to go to the "subscribe" window at
the upper right of TomDispatch's main screen, put in their email
addresses, hit “submit,” answer the “opt-in” email that instantly
arrives in their inbox (or, unfortunately, spam folder), and receive
notices whenever a new post goes up. It’s always great to get new
regular readers. By the way, I’ll be on the road all week with limited
Internet access and may be even worse than usual at responding to email
requests. Please be patient. Tom]
In his State of the Union address, President Obama lauded two fruits that fell from the tree of government support for the basic research of “cutting-edge scientists and inventors”: the Internet and GPS. Though he didn’t mention it, that wasn’t just any old “government support” and they weren’t just any old “cutting-edge scientists and inventors.” We’re talking about government-supported work for the U.S. military and for the scientists in its employ. As it happens, both came from work done by the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and both have definitely embedded themselves in our lives. Here’s a third glorious invention that’s just now coming home to roost: the unmanned aerial drone presently fighting a much-boasted-about “covert” war of escalating ferocity in the Pakistani borderlands. The initial work for the earliest of these, the Predator, also came out of DARPA’s intellectual chop shop, and now, Peter Finn of the Washington Post tells us, one of its children, “a bird-size device called the Wasp” (another DARPA project), could soon be flying over your home in Anytown USA, beaming live video to law enforcement agents on the ground. The same Predators, now launching Hellfire missiles in Pakistan, are also being deployed to the Mexican and Canadian borders. (The Mexicans, too, are deploying drones, not always on their side of the border.) Other kinds of unmanned aerial vehicles are increasingly becoming surveillance tools for law enforcement agencies and even the local police. Soon enough, such a 24/7 eye-in-the-sky could be in your neighborhood and over your house (and even, one day, undoubtedly as part of a catch-the-bad-guys reality show, on your TV). Americans are generally so detached from their wars that they don’t think about the ways those wars and the weaponry and gear first tested in them could come home. In fact, not just in the air but on the ground, those distant conflicts have already come home far more fiercely than we realize, helping to militarize American society, even if in ways that we hardly notice. And if any of this worries you, keep in mind that the eager-beaver scientists of DARPA are no less madly at work today than they were decades ago seeding the future, as Nick Turse, TomDispatch Associate Editor and author of The Complex: How the Military Invades Our Everyday Lives, reminds us.
