Cannibalistic War Pigs

     I thought this one was especially interesting. I heard it mentioned on "The Zeitgeist Movement Global Radio" Podcast Episode#134 Dec. 18th, 2013
    It was briefly mentioned to punctuate a point about the absurd level of amorality being practiced. Our technology is outpacing our ability to ask questions like "Should we be doing this?".
   (main topic of podcast was Drones, NSA, military technology and robotic warfare.... KILLING MACHINES)


Military EATR Robot Could Feed On Dead Bodies On Battlefield

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/15/military-eatr-robot-could_n_233418.html

The huffington post article was incomplete and said "read the full article on FOXnews".

Of corse, the Foxnews article had a slightly different slant when describing military, robotic killing machines that can be fueled by eating corpses. They chose the headline title:


Biomass-Eating Military Robot Is a Vegetarian, Company Says

ok, fair enough. Paint the concept of killing any color you want, I guess.

but then, the Foxnews article seems to only consist of the words "The story that originally appeared at this address has been revised.
Click here to read the revised story."
:p

"Despite the far-reaching reports that this includes “human bodies,” the public can be assured that the engine Cyclone (Cyclone Power Technologies Inc.) has developed to power the EATR runs on fuel no scarier than twigs, grass clippings and wood chips -- small, plant-based items for which RTI’s robotic technology is designed to forage. Desecration of the dead is a war crime under Article 15 of the Geneva Conventions, and is certainly not something sanctioned by DARPA, Cyclone or RTI." Says the revised Fox News article.
