GI JOE and Propaganda, a match made in Hell
By Chris Kemp
I decided to see GI JOE rise of COBRA, and not to my surprise, it was all a propaganda piece.
In the opening scene, the year is 1641 Scotland where the Scottish military is taking James MC Cullen into the dungeon for an act of treason, where he states my legacy will live on far beyond his death, through his children, how ever he is not killed he is tortured by being made to wear a mask hot off the heat Grid, now shoot to the future, In the near future, weapons expert James McCullen (Christopher Eccleston) has created a nanotechnology-based weapon capable of destroying an entire city. He sold four warheads to NATO, and the U.S. Army is tasked with delivering the warheads. Duke (Channing Tatum) and Ripcord (Marlon Wayans) are delivering the warheads when they are ambushed by the Baroness (Sienna Miller). Duke and Ripcord are rescued by Scarlett (Rachel Nichols), Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and Heavy Duty (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). They take the warheads to The Pit, G.I. Joe's command center in North Africa, Giza to be exact and upon arriving rendezvous with General Hawk (Dennis Quaid), the head of the G.I. Joe Team. Hawk takes command of the war-heads and excuses Duke and Ripcord, but when Duke reveals that he knows the Baroness, Hawk allows them to join G.I. Joe. And If you don't think Nano Technology exists here you go. Check out these links.

McCullen and his associate the Doctor (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) are revealed to be using the same nanotechnology to build an army of soldiers. McCullen plans on using the warheads to bring panic. Using a tracking device McCullen locates the G.I. Joe base and sends Storm Shadow (Lee Byung-hun) and the Baroness to retrieve the warheads. After a fight, Storm Shadow and the Baroness retrieve the warheads and take them to Baron DeCobray, the Baroness's husband, for him to weaponize. They then plan to attack the Eiffel Tower.
The G.I. Joe team tracks down the Baroness and Storm Shadow and pursue them through the streets of Paris but are unsuccessful in stopping them from launching the missile. The nano-mites eat through part of the tower before Duke hits the kill switch, but in doing so he is captured and taken to McCullen's base under the Arctic.
G.I. Joe locates the secret base and fly to the Arctic, meanwhile McCullen loads three missiles with nano-mite war-heads. Ripcord pursues the missiles while Scarlett and Snake Eyes rescue Duke.
The Doctor reveals he is Rex Lewis, the Baroness's brother believed to have been killed on a mission led by Duke four years ago. He was trapped in a bunker with Doctor Mindbender (Kevin O'Connor) and learned about the nano-technology. He was disfigured in a blast which Duke and the Baroness believed killed him. The Baroness tries to free Duke but the Doctor reveals he has implanted her with nano-mites which has put her under his control for the past four years.
McMullen tries to kill Duke but he is unsuccessful and his face is burned as he flees with the Doctor to an escape vessel. Duke and the Baroness pursue him while Scarlett, Heavy Duty and Snake Eyes attempt to stop the missiles and shut down the Arctic base.
Snake Eyes destroys the first missile using his snowmobile. Ripcord takes off in a prototype jet, and destroys the second missile before it reaches Moscow. In destroying the third warhead, the jet is covered in nana-mites and he pilots it into the atmosphere, then ejects and lands in Washington DC.
The Doctor heals McMullen's burned face with nana-mites, but in doing so he encases it in silver. He declares McMullen to now be Destroy, and the Doctor reveals that he himself is the new Cobra Commander. They are soon captured by G.I. Joe. In Africa the G.I. Joe team makes final preparations to decommission their North African base of operations, transferring all personnel and equipment to the super carrier USS Flagg. Anna (back with Duke) is in custody there until they can remove the nana-mites from her body. Meanwhile, the master of disguise Tartan (Arnold Oslo), who was surgically changed by the Doctor, infiltrates the White House and assumes the identity of the President of the United States (Jonathan Pryce).(Wikipedia Overview)
Now on to the real propaganda GI JOE.... Believe it or not Nano technology is already being used in the military, example: the Special suits being worn by the Joes, and Cobra
The soldier suit
http://mae.pennnet.com/Articles/Article_Display.cfm?Section=Articles&Subsection=Display&ARTICLE_ID=228231
At MIT's Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies (ISN), researchers collaborate with engineers at DuPont, Partners Healthcare, and Raytheon. Together, they combine expertise in chemistry, medicine, and mechanical engineering-and wrap it all up in nanotechnology-based materials. The result could transform today's cotton and nylon fatigues and bulky equipment belts into lightweight battle suits that provide a suite of integrated systems.
ISN researchers divide their projects into seven teams:
• Team 1: energy absorbing materials
• Team 2: mechanically active materials and devices
• Team 3: sensing and counteraction
• Team 4: biomaterials and nanodevices for soldier medical technology
• Team 5: processing and characterization
• Team 6: modeling and simulation of materials and processes
• Team 7: systems design, hardening, and integration
Team 1 engineers are developing nanomaterials that will be part of the future soldier's uniform, helmet, and gloves. Some scientists are studying new molecular architectures for ultra strong energy-absorbing polymers, while others study nanostructured materials for ballistic and blast protection.
Team 3 engineers are seeking ways to detect and respond to chemical and biological threats. Their projects include microbicidal, antiviral, and antipodal fabrics; infrared detection systems for optical sensing; nanoparticle assemblies as chemical toxin deactivation coatings; and fluorescent sensing technologies for selective detection of chemical warfare agents.
Team 4 researchers are working with doctors to use nanotechnology to automatically treat soldier medical conditions like hemorrhage, fracture, and infection.
Team 7 designers are creating battle suit cooling systems, and a nano-enabled, multifunctional soldier glove with microbicidal coating. (For more information, see web.mit.edu/isn).
How small is nano?
Every November, military planners at the U.S. Army's Pica tinny Arsenal, N.J., invite nanomaterial producers to describe their wares. In 2004, leaders from Quantum Sphere Inc. unveiled their new factory in Costa Mesa, Calif. The company can create 2,500 pounds per month of nanoaluminum and nanonickel powders to make better propellants and munitions.
Workers in the new factory can create consistently sized particles, each coated with an oxide shell; uncoated nanometal powders will automatically weld to each other. Each nanonickel powder particle is 8 to 10 nanometers in diameter-about 10 atoms across, says Doug Carpenter, Quantum Sphere's chief science officer and cofounder.
In the past, factories created nanopowders by smashing large blocks of material into tiny bits, yet QuantumSphere's new facility evaporates the original material into atomic particles, condenses it, and mixes it with oxygen gas to create the coating.
Researchers at MIT are making a soldier suit with nanotechnology-enabled fabric that reacts to bomb blasts to protect the most vulnerable parts of the wearer's body.
Military applications include more than munitions. Military designers are trying to replace platinum as the standard catalyst in fuel cells. Expensive and heavy, platinum loses efficiency as it gets carbonized during temperature cycles, he says.
Quantum Sphere's powder could be a solution. The company's engineers mix those tiny particles into a substrate to create membranes and filters that are thin and durable. Such reinforced materials can survive many more thermal cycles than standard membranes, and they can serve as drop-in replacements for platinum in either solid oxide or PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cells.
"Military guys carry more batteries than ammunition or food. I'd like the guy to have more beans and rice and bullets, and still keep the same electric power," Carpenter says.
Nanomaterials are still more expensive to prepare than metal ore, but platinum is so expensive - 1,700 times the cost of nickel-that nanonickel still ends up being one-eighth the cost.
Other applications for nanonickel and nanoaluminum alloys could be strong, temperature-resistant materials for piping, airframes, and wing edges. They are also good at shielding electromagnetic interference (EMI) because ferrous nanopowders are magnetic.
"It's hard to imagine that a particle with just 300 to 1,000 atoms can maintain its magnetism, but highly magnetic materials are important for shielding," Carpenter says. They can also act as sensors for medical toxins like anthrax and sarin. Those super-strong membranes can also be used to filter toxins out of a soldier's water and air supplies.
Nanoparticles to charge batteries
The 21st century soldier is weighed down with batteries for electric laptop computers, handheld computers, night-vision goggles, and optoelectronic rifle sights. That load could soon be reduced, thanks to anodes made of nanoparticle-size crystals. Soldiers could recharge the new batteries in a fraction of the time, and thus could carry fewer batteries on the battlefield.
"Anodes with nanoparticles could be charged an order of magnitude faster than macro-size particles, if there's plenty of lithium ion for their huge surface area," says Ken Lyon, vice president for business development at Altair Nanomaterials Inc. in Reno, Nev.
The technology would also be crucial in electric engines, whether they are driving commercial automobiles or unmanned ground vehicles.
In experiments with the new anodes, researchers with Telcordia Technologies Inc. in Piscataway, N.J., and Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J., charged empty batteries to 80 percent capacity in just six seconds, he says. Altair built anodes for that research under a grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation.
Engineers still have some work to do. The new design has less storage capacity than standard lithium ion batteries, but is comparable to nickel metal hydride and nickel cadmium batteries. The latter is the type used in most cell phones, PDAs, and laptops.
If they succeed, the new batteries would be remarkable. Used in a portable power tool, the new design would cost the same, offer three to four times more power per unit of weight, recharge 20 times as often, and gain a full charge in six minutes instead of two hours. Over its lifetime, such a battery could recharge 10,000 to 20,000 times, compared to the current standard of 600 to 700, Lyon says.
Altair engineers grow their crystals from lithium titanate, each one 20 to 25 nanometers in size. At that size, the crystals are strong enough not to break when battery makers force lithium into them-the chemical process that recharges a battery.
"We can put the dog in the doghouse and it stays there," Lyon says.
Nanoscale batteries pick up a charge faster than other batteries because they offer much more surface area to touch the lithium ion. Altair crystals have surface area of 100 square meters per gram, compared to two or three meters per gram for standard anodes.
Altair researchers can also use their nanocrystals to create titanium more cheaply. Titanium is strong and lightweight, but its high price means that engineers use it for only the most crucial designs. With the crystals, Altair engineers can quickly reduce titanium oxide to pure titanium metal.
This research is funded by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), whose leaders hope to use cheap titanium to improve the fuel consumption of tanks, humvees, and airplanes, while retaining their strength.
Finally, Altair engineers can also use nanomaterials as chemical and biological sensors. They are working with researchers at the Nanotechnology Research and Computation Center at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Mich. The team is in the midst of a three-year program funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The researchers attach a layer of nanoparticles to a sensor surface, and then coat them with a synthesized oligomer-a simple type of chemical polymer.
"They sit there like crabs with their claws out to grab things," Lyon says. "They can catch different types of chemicals depending on the kind of oligomer, then they react by changing the wavelength of light they reflect. It's a lab on a chip."
Portable lab
A chemist who wants to identify the components of a new substance uses a mass spectrometer, a delicate, expensive instrument in a laboratory. Now researchers at RTI International, a Department of Defense-funded nonprofit institute in Research Triangle Park, N.C., have found another option.
They use carbon nanotubes to make a micro mass spectrometer, says Ken Williams, director of RTI's center for materials and electronics technologies.
Engineers at QuantumSphere use particles of nanonickel to create fine porous membranes, featured in this image taken through a scanning electron microscope.
Carbon nanotubes are hollow cylinders made of carbon atoms. Each tube has a diameter 10,000 times smaller than a human hair, making it useful as an electrical semiconductor with high strength and thermal conductivity.
Researchers use them to identify new compounds by finding an agent that reacts with each chemical or biological target. This micro mass spectrometer is lightweight and durable enough to be carried onto the battlefield by a foot soldier or loaded on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
RTI researchers are also working on ways to harness the optical properties of nanoparticles for applications in communications or solid-state lighting. Such a device could capture light at a certain wavelength and convert it to white light, saving a huge amount of energy and cost compared to fluorescent bulbs, Williams says.
Nano electricity
Conveying electricity to the solider in the field is one of the great challenges of modern warfare. Today's troops use more electrical devices than ever before, and they travel from base camp to battlefield faster than engineers can string power lines.
Planners at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) think the solution could be solar cells built with nanoscale materials.
In February 2004, DARPA leaders granted $6 million to Konarka Technologies Inc. in Lowell, Mass., to study hybrid photovoltaic cells. The technology is crucial for military action since such cells could provide battery charging on the battlefield, remote power for soldiers and unmanned vehicles, and solar-powered sensor networks.
Nanonickel powder from QuantumSphere is a key ingredient in hydrogen fuel cells. Engineers can mix the powder into a polymer substrate or press it into circular disks, shown here.
Konarka will share the award over five years with research and development partners including Arizona State University; National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL); University of Delaware; University of Massachusetts, Lowell; and U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center in Natick, Mass.
Engineers at Konarka create materials that absorb both sunlight and indoor light and convert them into electrical energy. To do it, they use nanomaterials to inject dye into titanium dioxide, a white pigment common in toothpaste and paint. The dye absorbs light, which travels through the titanium dioxide and a series of electrodes, becoming electrical energy.
Until now, photovoltaic cells have been built with glass or silicon, creating stiff, heavy panels. Konarka's cells are built on flexible thin film and plastics. While the new cells are cheaper, they are not as efficient; Konarka's devices operate at 8 to 10 percent efficiency, compared to 15 percent for traditional cells. The flexible cells make up the difference, however, in ease of use-users can deploy them anywhere, building solar cells into their tents, awnings, roofs, and windows. On the battlefield, they could generate electricity for lighting, sensing, communicating, and computing. The cells will soon become more efficient, company officials promise.
"Hybrid photovoltaic cells build on the breakthroughs we have already achieved with dye-sensitized cells and polymer cells. The hybrid cells will incorporate unique forms of polymers and semiconductors in the cells' active layers," says Russell Gaudiana, vice president of research and development for Konarka. "This funding will accelerate our development of hybrid cells that turn light into electricity with an estimated efficiency of more than 20 percent, which is a significant improvement over existing cells."
Nanotechnology offers many other ways to move electricity to the battlefield. Researchers now use nanomaterials to improve the creation of electricity in power transformers, fuel cells, and solar cells. In July 2004, the Electricity Innovation Institute (E2I) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) awarded three Nanotechnology Research Grants for these topics, each worth $100,000.
The first winner, Craig Grimes at Pennsylvania State University, is seeking a way to fabricate e-nose sensors that would be installed on-line for the continuous monitoring of concentrations of eight gases in mineral-oil power transformers, to mitigate the risks and damage of power-transformer failure. His project is "Development of Nanotubular/Nanoporous Metal Oxide E-Nose Sensor for In-situ Monitoring of Dissolved Gases in Power Transformers."
The second winners, Chien Wai and Frank Cheng at the University of Idaho, are trying to develop nanoscale electrocatalysts for highly efficient low-temperature fuel cells. They chose supercritical CO2, a nontoxic, nonflammable, and recyclable solvent. The project is called "Carbon Nanotube-Supported Catalytic Nanoparticles for Fuel Cell Applications."
The third winner, Pamela Shapiro, also at the University of Idaho, is trying to use polymer synthesis to prepare quantum-dot solar cells, which would have three times the solar-energy conversion efficiency of current commercial technology. They rely on an ordered array of chalcopyrite (CuInS2) nanoparticles within an insulating polymer matrix. The project is called "Synthetic Approaches to New Photovoltaic Materials based on Ordered Chalcopyrite Quantum Dot Arrays in Polymer Matrices for the Development of High Efficiency Solar Cells."

In the Movie they also use a lot of holographic Imaging if you think it does not exist or in production think again See this Link
http://www.physorg.com/news2516.html or
http://www.liti3d.com/technology.htm
Liti Holographics has made a tremendous breakthrough in holographic technology. This breakthrough allows Liti to produce holograms in a fraction of the time previous required. Now we can offer custom holograms directly to individuals.
We call it "Real Holograms for Real People."
As a result, Liti3D brings holograms directly to people like you. And with our new advanced hologram technology, the cost of these holograms is something never seen before:
Hologram Basics
Holograms are images capable of recording 3D information on a flat piece of film by using the interference of light, typically laser light. While a picture captures one image of a scene, a hologram can capture thousands of images from a scene. This is what you are seeing when you look at a 3D scene: as you "look around" the object, you see many different images of the object, each from a different point of view. Because a hologram can capture more than just one image, it is capable of replaying the many different points of view, giving you the "look around" effect of 3D. A hologram can also use these many different captured images to create motion, as well as 3D.
Flavor #1 -VideoClip Holograms
A VideoClip Hologram can capture and display approximately 3-6 seconds of motion, creating a moving image as you walk by. No picture can do this! Now you can take your favorite moments from your home videos and show them to people without having to trap them in front of your television and VCR. Video images can be sent to Liti on standard video tape or DVD, or e-mailed as a digital movie file.
It is important that we point out that VideoClip Holograms will not create 3D from your video, but will create a moving image of your video moments on a flat piece of film.
Flavor #2 - 3D Holograms
Our new Liti hologram technology can also be used to create truly 3D images, and even moving 3D images. Creating 3D images, however, requires capturing the 3D information in the proper way. These images can be created in 3D graphics programs or using film and video footage by capturing a sequence of images that are each from a slightly different position. Liti can also capture the proper images for you.
They also use in the Movie Cloaking Technology
See cloaking Technology here:
all o this Technology was used in the New GI JOE Rise of Cobra Movie, however- we cannot leave out the Egyptian symbols used in the Movie either, the 3 great pyramids -By the way THE JOES Base is just beyond the pyrmids, hummmmm rather interesting and the Cobra Symbol as well not just that, Cobras Layer was under water, a depiction of Atlantis of course.
What was interesting about the Produces and the writers using the Cobra symbol is this
Cobra
(iaret)
Appearance: The cobra was almost always portrayed rearing up and with its hood dilated. The Greek word uraeus is typically used to describe the cobra in this pose. The word may have its origins from the Egyptian words which meant "she who rears up". The species of cobra represented as the uraeus is the Naja haje.
Meaning: According to the Story of Re, the first uraeus was created by the goddess Isis who formed it from the dust of the earth and the spittle of the sun-god. The uraeus was the instrument with which Isis gained the throne of Egypt for her husband Osiris.
The uraeus was a symbol for various things from early times including: the sun, Lower Egypt, the king and a number of deities.
As the sacred creature of the Delta city of Buto, the reptile was known by the same name. She soon became an emblem of all of Lower Egypt. The uraeus was often depicted with the vulture Nekhebet who served the same function for Upper Egypt. Together they symbolized the unification of the two lands. The creatures also appear together in the pharaoh's nebty or "Two Ladies" name.
The cobra was also called the "fiery eye" of Re and two uraei were sometimes depicted on either side of the solar disk.
A gilded wooded cobra called netjer-ankh ("living god") was found in the tomb of Tutankhamon (see picture at left). It is representative of the cobra's associations with the afterlife. In funerary works, the cobra is often depicted spitting fire. Two cobras doing just that were said to guard the gates of every "hour" of the underworld. During the Late Period, uraei were also shown towing the barque of the sun in funerary papyri. In all of these examples, the cobra's protective nature is clearly demonstrated.
The cobra was also representative of various deities such as Neith, Ma'at, and Re. http://www.egyptianmyths.net/cobra.htm
Then there is the phrase used in the the movie The Sword and The Shield that was brought up in the movie and after searching for what they referenced the phrase for
The Sword and the Shield
The Mitrokhin Archive and the Secret History of the KGB
By CHRISTOPHER ANDREW and VASILI MITROKHIN
Basic Books
This book is based on unprecedented and unrestricted access to one of the world's most secret and closely guarded archives-that of the foreign intelligence arm of the KGB, the First Chief Directorate (FCD). Hitherto the present Russian foreign intelligence service, the SVR (Sluzhba Vneshnei Razvedki), has been supremely confident that a book such as this could not be written. When the German magazine Focus reported in December 1996 that a former KGB officer had defected to Britain with "the names of hundreds of Russian spies," Tatyana Samolis, spokeswoman for the SVR, instantly ridiculed the whole story as "absolute nonsense." "Hundreds of people! That just doesn't happen!" she declared. "Any defector could get the name of one, two, perhaps three agents-but not hundreds!"
http://www.nytimes.com/books/first/a/andrew-sword.html
Then I found This, even More interesting

So are you getting the point yet
Then there is the new way of an MK ULTRA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKULTRA or http://www.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/national/13inmate_ProjectMKULTRA.pdf type mindcontrol, using Nano-Technology to control the Cobra Soldiers. What a Mind Screw.
The bottom line to this is that the Pentagon has its hands in every facet of the Hollywood, and they are working hard to condition the masses minds, a sort of mass MK Ultra control system to control the thinking of the people, to get the people used to this type of information coming at them, mind control exists, marketing advertisers use it all the time. This is the way people are controlled, and Manipulated to buy or buy into thing they would normally say no too.
The Fact that this movie was cheesy and lame, means very little. The fact that the pentagon is pushing this information on the public needs to be looked at more closely.
The Military Industrial Complex is hard at work controling information and what gets put out there.
So I think it is time to get out of the Matrix, out of the heard mentality, stop being mind Manipulated and controlled........
