How dangerous can microplastics be?

"Plastics affect every aspect of the Earth system, from climate change to biodiversity, due to the thousands of chemicals in their life cycle, impacting environmental and human health. A new study calls for understanding plastics pollution beyond waste management, using a planetary boundaries framework to highlight plastics’ global, interconnected impacts." (ScitechDaily, Not As Harmless as Scientists Thought: Plastics Are Threatening Earth’s Stability)

Microplastics are small pieces of plastics that are filling oceans. Those things form in things like the cosmetic industry. The reason why those things are used is that they should not be poisonous. The plastic itself is not poisonous. But when we think about the microplastics. Those things act like nanomachines. When things like krill eat some algae those microplastics get in their body. 

The microplastics are very dangerous to bacteria. If bacteria eat those small plastic bites that can cause internal damage to its structure. Sometimes some researchers introduced that some cancer medicines will replaced by microplastic nanomachines. The problem was how to remove those things from the body. 

If those microplastics are covered using nutrients that certain bacteria or cancer cells eat, those small plastic bites can slip into those cells and destroy their internal structure. The nano- and microplastics can slip into the cells and even fill them. 

There those small plastic bites travel in the food chain. And finally, they return to the human saucer and our food. The thing that makes microplastics dangerous is that it's possible that they get into cells. In those cases, the cells can damaged or even die if those microplastics harm their internal structures. 

There are many points where the microplastic can touch and cause damage. Those microplastics can clog the pipelines in cell organs. That causes errors in the cell's normal functions.  The microplastic can damage the cell's mitochondria or even destroy them. Or it can cause damage to the cell's nucleus. 

Or they can jam the cell's ion pumps. The string- or stick-shaped microplastic can make holes in the cell's protein shell or it can stuck into the ion pump. That keeps the ion pump open all the time. Microplastics can damage even big animal embryos if they get into a morula. But microplastics can endanger things like plankton. And through plankton, those small plastic bites can go into the human body.

Loitering munitions or kamikaze drones are effective weapons that cause high risk if they get into the wrong hands.

The invasion of Ukraine is typical Russian military action. Long-range cruise missiles are used against civilian and military targets. The thing in the use of the cruise missiles is that the Glonass/GPS systems are effective only if the location of the target is well-known. And another thing is that the system should know all the time if the target is moving. In the western military. 

The problem with the Russian missiles is this: are they accurate enough to make pinpoint accurate attacks? So are they shot at civilian targets on purpose? And how well do their systems stand against high-power ECM (Electronic Counter Measure) jamming? 

The attacks are followed by high-flying recon planes or satellites. The problem is that if the target is moving. The missile should know that thing or it misses the hit. New missiles are so-called kamikaze drones. They are cruising above the battlefield. The official name of those systems is loitering drones. They can use against things like cruise missile batteries. 

Those drones are like Aquila target/recon drones that are equipped with anti-tank or some other type of warhead. The Aquila was the system of the 70s. And there are more advanced systems that are replacing it. But basically, they are all similar systems. 

Those kamikaze drones are transmitting data to the command center. And when the target is visible the controller will give an order to dive against that target which can be a ship or main battle tank. They are normal recon drones that are equipped with a warhead. 

The difference between a kamikaze drone and a cruise missile is minimal. The famous "Tomahawk" cruise missile is the only BQM-119 drone that is equipped with a conventional or nuclear warhead. But "kamikaze drones" can patrol above operational areas and transmit data and then make the attack against the target. 

The kamikaze drones that are using radio control are vulnerable to jamming. The EMP strikes can also drop those things. When we are talking about pinpoint accuracy there are two or three types of internal navigation systems. The GPS is needed to locate the beginning point of the flight of the missile. Then the inertial navigation will take the missile to a certain point of the flight route. 

The other way is to use TERCOM (Terrair contour matching)-system. The TERCOM means, that the system uses a series of images that are stored in the memory of the computers to fly to the target. In that system, satellite or high-flying recon plane will make the 3D topography map by using radar or lidar. And then the missile will use that data to find the route to its target. 

And finally, the image recognition system or ATR (Automatic Target Recognition) will select the target by using scene-matching technology. That system has the image of the target stored in its memory. And when the image that the camera transmits matches with the image that the missile will aim to target.

Can somebody believe in something so hard, that the believing would kill that person?

In this text, I will think about the cases, where somebody really believes in something.  We all know, that some things are pseudoscience, and we are laughing at horoscopes and something like that. But there is one thing, what we always forget. If somebody is grown to believe in the horoscopes and thematics, we must ask one question, will that believe cause death for fear? If that person is grown for believing those things, would the fear cause the paralysis, what is deadly for that person.

Could the horoscope or numeral thematics cause death for the fear? This is the question, what came in my mind when I saw the film about the elevator game. There is a possibility, that somebody believes in those things so much, that this person would die because of fear. The cause of death is, in this case, the placebo effect, what causes the paralysis, and the feedback from muscles would cause the shock, what stops the heart or the person just stops to breath and lose consequence.

When we are thinking about the situation, that somebody really believes the predictions, that might cause the situation, that the person could die, because the prediction causes the heart attack. In some cases, fear causes the increase of the pulse, and if the person has the hidden heart disease, would the increase of pulse cause the heart attack. Normal people think that predictions are only the fake, but if the person is grown to believe those things, that would change the thinking, that some predictions are causing the incredible fear.

The reason for that is, that the person is grown to believe those predictions and if the predictions are connected to some good things like gifts, that would cause the subconscious situation, that the person believes those things. And if parents say, that some predictor said, that their child would get some good things, would that cause the situation, that the person starts to believe those things like horoscopes or other predictions. And here we can start to think about the number thematics. That thing is a pseudo-science, but if somebody believes those things very hard, that thing might cause death. And if the person, who plays some elevator game, would accidentally push the "numbers of the death", would that launch the fear, what kills that person.

In some cultures, the children are grown to do everything, what the leaders say, and when they are disappointed the punishments would be very hard. In some cases, the fear of disappointing has caused the effect, that the person starts to afraid so much, that this victim would just die in the fear. That thing is visible in the Japanese traditional suicide "Seppuku", what is the result for failing or causing other disappointments for the leader of the samurai. But there are cultures, where the disappointment is so feared thing, that if the leader of the tribe would cause death by cramp and heart attack of the member of the tribe by single word. That cramp is caused by fear and that thing causes that the heart would be stopped.

IBM has created the coffee drone, what could be dangerous in wrong hands

https://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Coffee drones are created to make life easier, but this kind of drones can be extremely dangerous because they can also be used in eavesdrop operations. In that case, the nano helicopter would hang the microphone under it. Or somebody can put the small eavesdrop machine called "bug" in that drone if that would fly from the unsecured area. Those drones can also be used in the many kinds of intelligence operations, and one of the most interesting methods is, that drone would carry the "honey-pot" or rogue WLAN-devices to near the targeted office. Those rogue stations would replace the normal WLAN support stations, and those stations would be pulled out from the wall plug.


Those drones could carry those devices unseen on the cover of the night, and then the operator must only connect those devices to the electric circuit simply putting the plug to socket, and because those operators must not carry anything, the security guards could let them go to the roofs. The problem with those WLAN-devices is that they must replace the original devices. In the most valuable method would be that the real WLAN-stations would be renamed, taken out from the electric circuit or destroyed, and the data would be routed to the faked WLAN support stations.


The normal mobile telephone can be used in that kind of action, and there is needed the programs, what would duplicate the data. The other route would allow the user to use normal Internet-services, but the other route would send to the operator's computer. And when the eavesdrop mission is over must the real WLAN stations reconnect and the honeypot routers, what is used  "man in the middle" attack would just fly away with those drones.


In the worst scenarios, those drones can equip with a dynamite,  grenade or FAE (Fuel Air Explosives) bomb. Those weapons can be extremely lethal. Also, the microwave weapons can be connected to that thing. Those weapons cause very powerful EMP-pulse, what can cause very bad injuries. The idea of those weapons is that the battery would be pushed by explosives, and then it would give extremely powerful microwave burst in the compassion with their size, what mission is to damage the electronics, and terminate computer centers or alarming systems.

Why somebody claims, that the Earth is flat?

Some societies are really weird, and their membership rituals are very interesting. One of those societies is "Flat Earth" society, what members claim that Earth is flat like a pancake. This society is sometimes targeted for laughing and jokes, and sometimes somebody even suspects the existence of this group. But when we are thinking more carefully, we might think that this very interesting society is actually the meeting place for some individuals, who are making some business together or keep sex-club, where they make weird things like keep teddy-bear suits when they are making those things. But when we are thinking about bourse-games and inner circle trading with shares, the sex club might be very good cover-story for those things.


And maybe the "Flat Earth" society is one of those circles of businessmen and the ritual for getting the membership in this club is that the prospect must claim that the Earth is flat. This is not a prosecution, but many times those weird societies have been covered some illegal way to make business. If those people claim their children that the Earth is flat, that would be the very good way to isolate that group.


This is why this kind of societies are dangerous. They isolate the members, and this means that they would be influenced by men and women, who are in the worst case leaders of the suicide cults. If members of those kinds of groups claim for the children that the Earth is flat, this would isolate them from other children, and then they would meet only the children of that group members. And this guarantees that the secrets of society would not diffuse to the people who are outsiders for that group.


Another explanation of that strange theory, that the world is flat like the pancake, is that somewhere in the space is the space station, where are two domes, what are connecting together with rope, and those domes would rotate round of the central point. That movement makes the artificial gravity, and the possibility to make houses in those domes.


The floor of the dome would be flat, and when we are thinking of this fictional structure, that would not necessarily be very large. Maybe the size or diameter of those plastic domes is about 50 meters, or they could be even smaller. And inside those domes could be laboratory building, where the very carefully chosen scientists would work.
