The last entry on this blog was in 2011! It has been 13 years since I have visited this blog! While I am gratified to see it still exists, but I am disappointed that I have not had the time (or even the inclination) to update and further the blog. Much has happened in these […]

Comments Off on Robot Politics – an extension of Emergent Warfare – by other means, that is!
Recently, I was directed to Nick Land’s blog (which till then I did not know existed) where I read that… The “factory” of the Industrial Age was a space (and a system) where “ever-larger concentrations of labor, capital, energy and raw materials could be brought together under a unified management structure to extract economies of […]

Disclaimers: There are many detailed reviews of the ThinkPad x201. These reviews cover a range of technical assessments and probably more reliable than my review to base purchasing decisions on. My review is merely a personal and non-technical one. In fact, it is probably more accurate to refer to what follows as an “impression/ appreciation” […]

Comments Off on The Contagion of Fear

Comments Off on Operations on Human Terrains
It has long been suggested that since war revolves around humans – who may not have invented war, but has certainly refined it both as a science and an art – it is impossible to conceive or conceptualize war in non-human terms. In other words, as the argument runs, while, for example, robots and other exotic war-machines may duel […]

Comments Off on News: Nets @ War
This is something that I have been discussing in private for a long time. When Arquilla and Ronfeldt wrote their seminal book on Networks and Netwars, the idea of “netwars” gained global ground. Of course, the perversion of this idea was evident in how the theories of Network-centric Warfare were articulated and operationalized in technology-terms. […]

Comments Off on News: Global Strike…hypersonically
We have all heard about the U.S. military’s plans to achieve, maintain and enhance its “global reach” and “global strike” capabilities. The first incarnation of the idea within U.S. military and defense circles was to arm an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) – like say, the Trident – with a conventional warhead and use it as […]

Comments Off on News: Land Warfare and the U.S. Military
George Friedman from Stratfor writes about the U.S. Military and assesses its prospects in possible Land Wars in Asia/ East Asia. You can read Friedman’s essay here: “Never Fight a Land War in Asia [which] is republished with permission of STRATFOR.”

Comments Off on News: Omni-dimensional Information Warfare?
If the reports of this news article from Wired are correct, then it goes to show the extent and reach of what we understand as “information warfare” and “effects-based operations”. Read the full story: Did a Top General Run Psy Ops on Senators? Now, there is a further twist to the above story. Read the […]
