    Paul Revere

    Who was it that said:


    The Illuminatti are coming! The Illuminati are coming!


    Paul Revere? Maybe it was Yobarnacle?


    I'm not sure ;) I get confused easily. Maybe Yobarnacle IS Paul Revere? That must be it?

    The motto of all big munitions and and military equipment suppliers.

    Politicians like it too - the debate about it keeps them in the media for hours.

    ... And little 'uns. Parabellum is associated with Luger. Colt used Peacemaker.


    It's a bit odd that until the nuclear age, there is no record of a weapon being developed which was not used (so I've been told- I'm open to counter examples). So the quote has a rather different context, or subtext, than it used to.

    It is known as the military–industrial–congressional complex.

    That's the marketing men for you.

    The nuclear weapon was used twice.

    Nope. A nuclear weapon can only be used once. :)

    Lasers - the weapon variety, have never been used in battle.

    Nope - those Lasers were misused conventional Lasers. None of the military designed Laser weapons have never been used in a military engagement. Mostly because the are $^$$^& useless, but that's not the point.

    Adversaries don't need military designed weapons to do military things. Sabotage is a military act and can be done with common articles. Russian "trawler" blinded a Coast Guard pilot with a laser off the Alaskan coast several years back because they didn't want him there. Benign act? Hardly.
