Security: A better argument for a World Government

 

Robert F. Kennedy impressed me a short while ago, when he spoke about the threat of terrorist states in the modern technological age. He expressed that we can't afford to have dangerous rouge states in this modern world - which is true. But what he did not express was the fact that you don't, or soon won't, need a whole nation to build weapons of mass destruction.

Technical plans for fabricating atomic bombs, for example, can always be leaked and downloaded, and advanced malicious devices can be developed easily using virtual prototyping and 3d printing, etc.

Nuclear is just one demon. For example, there's biological and chemical potentials of course, and cheap auto-targeting laser technology that can destroy 100 eyeballs per-seconds. Add to this, tiny grenade-drones and EMP (electromagnetic pulse) bombs that can take any city back to the stoneage in a couple of hours overnight. And, everything and anything else that can be thought of and developed by a small collection of individuals.

My point is, the terror problem can only grow because technology will only get better - and cheaper. So we have to be realistic. It may only be a matter of time until a sub-extremist group, with a little money and godly dedication, does untold damage.

The only reason why Isis, for example, hadn't murdered millions with a nuke (or other) is because they couldn't. But this will change. Indeed, consider also if France's parliament becomes dominated over time by Muslim extremists. They would then inherit control of France's already established nuclear capacity. My point is, the vulnerabilities are great and can only grow. 

I'm not scaremongering - it's just logical.

I argue this is one of the better reasons to embrace advanced (meaning intrusive, yes) global surveillance systems, and to maybe develop a global government to a degree, so to enforce it. 

I believe we need to lay a powerful defensive foundation to resist the threat of terrorism. Our growing technological status demands this. Indeed, if we did not have our intelligence systems today, then we could only guess as to what kind of carnage we would be looking at already.

Has the ever-growing threat of technology-driven terror been realised by our military deep states? Of course it has. It's plain. Maybe this is why there's a shift on the political level towards a kind of global control system? Maybe the Pentagon's models have indicated that we simply must have these systems now? We can wonder.
