The CIA is equipping Pakistani tribesmen with secret electronic transmitters to help target and kill al-Qaida leaders in the north-western tribal belt, in a tactic that could aid Pakistan’s army as it takes the battle against extremism to the Taliban heartland.
As the army mops up Taliban resistance in the Swat valley, where a defence official predicted fighting would be over within days, the focus is shifting to Waziristan and the Taliban warlord Baitullah Mehsud.
But a deadly war of wits is already under way in the region, where tribesmen say the US is using advanced technology and old-fashioned cash to target the enemy.
Over the last 18 months the US has launched more than 50 drone attacks, mostly in south and north Waziristan. US officials claim nine of the top 20 al-Qaida figures have been killed.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
That success is reportedly in part thanks to the mysterious electronic devices, dubbed “chips” or “pathrai” (the Pashto word for a metal device), which have become a source of fear, intrigue and fascination.
“Everyone is talking about it,” said Taj Muhammad Wazir, a student from south Waziristan. “People are scared that if a pathrai comes into your house, a drone will attack it.”

Is there a connection between the chips and and GPS location of every residence in USA?

Heh ok thats scary. I suppose it was only a matter of time before technology exceeded a humans ability to fight back.
Its kinda like when everyone around here talks about how they will fight to the death or shoot someone who tries to take thier liberties. It makes me wonder if anyone actually is aware of current technology that pretty much means they just launch a missle down your chimney and move to the next block.
I have no idea what anyone can do to stop them. Handguns certainly will not.

If a group of southeast asian farmers and peasants armed mainly with AK’s can take down the most powerful military on the planet then anything is possible.

Times have changed my friend. Technology is making small arms useless against an enemy that can stranglehold every aspect of life from electricity and water, to a thug police state, to flat out exploding your house at will.

Then it’s obvious that you guys are going to have to grow a few brain cells and figure out ways to circumvent these quote-unquote “new technologies” while you still have a chance.
If someone is using some kind of chip or device to transmit their location, build a detector that can receive the wavelength it’s broadcasting on, or better yet, a jammer. That missile will have a hard time blowing up your location if it can’t figure out where in the hell you are. The electromagnetic radiation spectrum only goes so far, and science is not a magic fucking fairy wand. Electronics are electronics, not magical objects to be feared. Read up on the shit you should’ve been paying attention to in science class while you were busy stuffing dick, alcohol and marijuana in your mouths, and do it fast.
You HAVE to find a way to fight these Pinky and the Brain wannabes if you are actually halfway close to serious about defending the liberties you cherish. You HAVE to. They are RAPING CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS AT ABU GHRAIB. Throwing your hands up and saying “Ohh, it’s impossible, they’re too strong, I’ll just bend over” is NOT an option, the costs are far too great. There is NEVER a no-win situation. FIND A WAY if you expect anybody to take you guys seriously and listen to you.

You gotta give it to these con-men. We have a “war” that for some reason is exactly where the 3 way oil pipeline meets and has to come through in order to ship. And the oil companies envolved are bush, rockefella and the Chaney Oil company.
Hey go figure… who would ve guessed that the same piece of excrement that built FEMA camps in America. would be the same ones to create wars in order to rip off a nations oil reserves.

Since the Iraqi resistance, afghani resistance, and now the pakistani resistance are still standing, and they are pretty much unarmed by comparison, I guess my belief in lone wolf tactics, small-arms, and passionate resistance to the death still holds water.
MusterX Reply:
June 1st, 2009 at 7:03 am
Right…..here is the difference.
The places you listed don’t have a police state grid in place. Those places do not have cameras on every street corner, or a police force in every town. We in the so called “free world” would have a MUCH harder time standing up to the government than a place like Afghanistan where most of the country is no mans lands, mountains and caves.
I mean c’mon man, you can’t even avoid getting arrested for a traffic violation in the united states, how are people going to actively resist and not be shit canned instantaneously.

Ohh, this pessimistic attitude is so god damned irritating. Our ancestors had fucking redcoat soldiers living in their houses, but did that stop them? FUCK NO!
USE YOUR BRAINS. Disable or destroy the fucking cameras. Use radar or cell phone jammers. There is always a way. There is NOTHING realistic about giving in or surrendering no matter how silly or unrealistic you think other options are. The cost of surrender is far too high, higher than any threat or beating or torture or murder the other side can offer you. Standing up and fighting for what is right has the highest cost of your own life. Surrendering has the highest cost of your own soul, and you don’t get it back. Ever.

It will take people to infiltrate their organizations and just kill the top dogs on down. Or a mass of people as in the movie V to stand up to them on their own turf. Will they bomb themselves if we are on their turf. I don’t think so.

MusterX, keep in mind, they cant kill us all. They NEED alot of us. Sheer numbers is what will win in a battle of citizenry and technological government weapons. In all history of all wars, its the infantry that wins wars, not aircrafts, tanks, boats, or bigger guns. If a civil war breaks, pray we all unite, and if this happens, we will win. Our separist mind set needs to stop and band together to stop tyranny and oppression. 300 million civilians against 400,000 army troops? do the math.

Only Dumb fucks like you guys would fail to realize that this is a GOOD THING.
We are killing terrorists. The terrorists that would kill YOU in a heart beat. If you think your unfounded 9/11 conspiracy theories will save you, your stupid. They don’t care about your religion, politics or conspiracy theories. SO, if we inject a chip into a bad guy in a prison, then stage an escape (Bagram) and the bad guys return to the battlefield, then Booyah bitches, let the bodies start stacking.
This is juts one possibility of uses of these chips. Im sure you guys will think of lots of “realistic” uses and abuses of these chips….

If you don’t have google earth, download it and you can google map your house and see it in living color. If they have your street address anybody can find your house.
They can travel down your town or city steets and get street views even way out into the countryside.
I was reading an article about Paul McCartney having his mansion blocked from google earth, so I looked up my own house, there was my car in the yard with the hood up and all. Also I was amazed that there was a person with a bright green shirt knocking on my door and I still don’t know who it was. They don’t need a gps.
Just thought I’d mention google earth, it’s in living color and your house can be seen at different angles. (streetview)
:0) One of my friends said he was happy he wasn’t P**ing in his yard when the google cameras passed.

Taliban-style justice for alleged U.S. spies
Posted: Friday, April 17, 2009 2:08 PM
Filed Under: Islamabad, Pakistan
By NBC News’ Carol Grisanti and Mushtaq Yusufzai
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – “I was given $122 to drop chips wrapped in cigarette paper at al-Qaida and Taliban houses,” confessed 19-year-old Habibur Rehman, just before the Taliban shot him dead for spying for the United States. “If I was successful, I was told, I would be given thousands of dollars,” he said.
In a video released last week by the Taliban as a warning to other would-be spies, Rehman recounted how he was recruited to spy on the Taliban in North Waziristan and drop small transmitter chips on specific targets to call in CIA pilotless drone aircraft.
“I thought this was a very easy job,” Rehman said in the video before he was killed. “The money was good so I started throwing the chips all over. I knew people were dying because of what I was doing, but I needed the money.”
The chips transmit a signal to a satellite overhead. The drones, armed with Hellfire missiles, are controlled and remotely piloted by the CIA in the United States, according to Pakistani and western military analysts. Once the signal is received, the drone takes off from Shamsi air base in southwestern Pakistan and collects data and intelligence to attack the chosen Taliban and al-Qaida target.

So many confused conspiracists Christians believe that the govt is going to make everyone take a biochip implant to be tracked and controlled etc. (as if the majority of us will go along with that) and that this will be the ‘Mark of the Beast’ as prophesized. You’re all wet!! Read the scripture and see that it doesn’t have so much to do with buying or selling but DEEDS and WORSHIP- what you do (beast’s mark in HAND) and think (beast’s mark in HEAD) as Revelation 13:15 talks about.

everyone needs to understand that Americans will only go so far with our government. I use to get so carried away with this website and so paranoid after reading some of the stuff on here. I just take it in stride and still visit this site daily, but I proceed with caution. It good to know what to look for, it is for sure better than the Fox news channel.
As far as extra terrestrial stuff, there may be such a thing, maybe its the return of the Nephilim. Maybe this is what will unite the Earth, maybe this is the threat in the Book of Revelation. There may be a threat within ourselves, the threat of a clone army, this may be the threat that take the mark of the antichrist…….
Read Genesis 6 and Google Nephilim, these did exist and they may come again to earth….
