opened the era of the autonomous zones of Information?

J Ulian Assange is probably not the Messiah that all the protesters waited for AlterNet. Wikileaks and is perhaps not the "people's intelligence agency" idyllic dream by his mysterious and very Warholian fondateur.Mais it may be of those rare men who accidentent history and change its course acting as an agent of Chaos creator of a reality hitherto unthinkable: I named the famous "temporary autonomous zones" (TAZ in abbreviated VO) theorized in 1985 by the cyberpunk thinker, philosopher, poet and piratologue Hakim Bey in "TAZ", a Free legal work obviously internet and regularly updated since.

D e What is it exactly?

"The TAZ is like an uprising without direct engagement against the State, a guerrilla operation which liberates an area (field , time, imagination) and then dissolves before the state does crushes, to reform elsewhere in time or space. "

C he concept of" Temporary Autonomous Zone "was made visible so festive by Rave and Techno Free Party movement. And the worst way, by the Black Blocks: activists "Autonomous" fully masked and dressed in black who take advantage of a priori pacifist demonstrations (anti-nuclear, anti -G8, anti-NATO ...) to "liberate" an area facing street (very) violent police. Actions that were never, to my knowledge support Hakim Bey, who only "technology free of political control would make possible a world of autonomous zones" . In "TAZ", written before the advent of the Web ... and Wikileaks, however, that he felt "yet this concept remains the stuff of science fiction, pure speculation" .

But the recent release of 250,000 Wikileaks notes revealing the underside of the American diplomacy, after that of "warlogs" Iraqis and Afghans and their share of blunders committed by the U.S. Army ( see this post and the video "collateral murder ") materialized Utopia "TAZ" by applying it to the field of information . And on a global scale. For the first time in history, a messenger came from the Undernet has dictated his agenda in all media worldwide!

We saw the five largest newspapers - The New York Times, the Guardian, the "Spiegel", Le Monde and El Pais - go meekly to the oracle Wikileaks and mobilize their essays to dissect this enormous mass of documents . And the mad machine of the global village has packaged media, looping on all screens, all rotating around the revelations of these diplomatic notes: Judgement of the U.S. administration in our national Nicolas Sarkozy "frenzied," "impulsive" and "pro-American" to the disturbing ultra-secret nuclear cooperation between Burma and North Korea everything goes.

A September 11 INFORMATION

I t is d ' a huge event in the history of journalism , although some professional skeptics do not see any real scoops in these diplomatic cables ... without perceiving the symbolic significance of this great and historic lighting of scenes of the American Empire. Never such a large volume of classified documents was leaked. The Word Wide Web has made possible the dream of Hakim Bey in "liberating" a "Temporary Autonomous Zone Information" across the Earth! To paraphrase Franco Frattini, Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, who spoke of him "September 11 diplomatic" about "CableGate" Wikileaks has triggered a real "September 11 and the Information . With the highlighting global Behind the scenes of the American Empire made possible by the "hacktivists" Wikileaks and mastery of the Network, nothing will be as before . For proof, just browse, fascinated, deluded in the intricacies of these cables, using the example of very effective application of the "Guardian" or StateLogs our dear Owni hexagonal saucer that had was chosen by Wikileaks to develop the application of Iraqi WarLogs .

Who is Hakim Bey ? Hakim Bey is a pseudonym from the Ottoman "Judge". This in fact probably a virtual identity shared by its creator, Peter Lamborn Wilson and other theorists of the anarchist movement ontological. There are very few pictures of this American born in 1945, who lived in India Afghanistan and Iran in the years 60-70, before returning to live quietly in the United States in a small house near New York. More than any other, Hakim Bey Lamborn, whatever his real name, is a fan of "happy to be subversive and live hidden" ... even though he obviously "housed" long ago by the FBI, CIA and everything the federal U.S. police account. It is in all cases now, well before Assange and the Internet, one of the heroes of the cons-culture anarchist tendencies and foremost, "Hackers" by delivering up to date the myth of the pirate utopias of seventeenth and eighteenth centuries with the famous firebrand named "Taz." Clowns pacifist protests alternative to Derrida through Marilyn Manson, everyone has read it as explained in this excellent edition of "Tracks" on Arte:

Tracks - Hakim Bey - part 1

M ais back to Assange . The violent reaction of the American Empire and its surrogates to massive leakage of sensitive military-political documents organized in recent months by Wikileaks is trying to make a martyr informational of The Cause. And it totally on the sidelines of his recent arrest in England under a dark rape case in reclassified from "surprise sex" by the Swedish court (case we will leave aside here a precaution against a possible crime or vice versa ... suddenly twisted, and of course with respect the presumption of innocence).

Expulsion Amazon servers that hosted the site f ermeture payment methods Paypal, Visa, Mastercard that allowed users to to support them financially; hateful smear campaign against "cyberterrorism" ranging up to murder calls; leapt from choir bleating old media denouncing the irresponsibility of Assange on "Wikileaks is the worst Stasi" (Catherine Nay on Europe 1) ... We had not seen such outburst does not rely for hour on any legal basis . Freedom of information is indeed a fundamental right guaranteed by the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in these words: " Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom (...) expression, freedom the press or the right of citizens to assemble peacefully and to send petitions to government for redress of wrongs suffered ".

EMPIRE IS MADE OF PANIC

S i the manhunt was almost equal to that of Osama bin Laden ( media-is), if the reaction was so violent, that perhaps Empire is suddenly panicked . And if the new liberal order and global financial principles based on the American power was train lose control of information hitherto provided by its pseudopodia that are large media groups? And if the "Temporary Autonomous Zone Information" became permanent? In any case the argument and hope that agitates and excites all that the world has of anti-globalization activists and anarchists, guerrilla-hacktivists Internet, advocates of openness against the state secrets or simple defenders of the free flow of ideas and information on the Network. But Hakim Bey "overturned the world still manages to recover." As our prophet had foreseen an anarchist in his inimitable prose, "frontal impact with the terminal state, the state of informatoon mega-entrepreneurial the empire of Spectacle and Simulation " is doomed to failure." Hit and Flee . Move the entire tribe, even if only data on the Network ", professes" TAZ ". hit Wikileaks, it is now disappearing " to reform elsewhere in time and space ".

" TOCSIN OF THE TOXIN "

C is precisely what is being pass. With the Web "rose revolution the slogan of the tocsin to toxin" as provided Hakim Bey. At the close of Wikileaks servers in the U.S., the site responds with a myriad of other servers scattered around the planet. Wikeleaks attempts to muzzle the Internet for free answers by cyber coordinated by the movement of spontex Anonymous and numerous mirror sites we can see here in real time. In France, Libération has decided to host a mirror also . And wide world do u petition was launched on the Network Wikileaks to support the theme "stop the repression": it has already surpassed 500,000 signatures a few hours and is the million this weekend from 11 December. and masked avengers are Anonymous that are changing strategy: now they're calling the Internet community searching through the hundreds of thousands of military and diplomatic records posted by Wikileaks to unearth secrets that would not yet been exploited by the major newspapers. An operation of "crowdsourcing" baptized "LeakSpin" explained below authenticated in a statement posted on YouTube:

S of logan Anonymous: "We Are Anonymous We Are Legion, We do not Forgive " ... In short, it looks as though the Temporary Autonomous Zone Information created by Wikileaks to become permanent, that the "TAZ" envisioned by Hakim Bey actually exists in "this margin of error created by the Empire" : namely the Web . "Babylon is today abstractions for realities ", our cyberprophète say that we are eager to read about.

As Julian Assange , waiting whether it will be extradited to Sweden, he now is probably incapable of "harm" in "civilized" world even though there is little chance it landed in a U.S. jail. But he probably forever changed the paradigm of Information : millions of Internet-citizens now legitimately ask that the transparency on the actions of governments, companies and major in this world, access to brief information on behalf of democracy and the MEDIA on the sidelines of "official". Soon we may hear the slogan "We're all Julian Assange" (provided that that person is cleared of all suspicion of rape). To me that's for sure, must have read Assange Hakim Bey . But he's also think about this crazy sentence of Nietzsche to prepare his notes: "I come as the victorious Dionysus, who will set the world on vacation but I do not have much time ".

war robots will go ahead

Sunday on France Culture, Xavier de la Porte, who runs the excellent program "Place of the Web" quoted at length from a very thorough paper by John Markoff of The New York Times on the robot running the U.S. Army. It happens that I worked a lot on the subject some time ago when I was a reporter at The Tribune of service surveys. The machines in the service of war fascinates me since childhood, when I read the "Robot Stories" from the good Dr. Asimov . With all the technological, ethical and philosophical that it poses to humanity. So here I am releasing an updated version, substantial revision to digest and I had several papers devoted to these nasty killer robots. And yes, before turning totally Gonzo, I was a journalist almost serious!

"Sasha", Enki Bilal, plate of the album "32 December"

"The drone e arose [...]. A giant dragonfly and refractory carbon black three meters long, with two wings ultrashort, a drift and two microrotors.D a battery of sensors thermiques.D a rotating barrel 14.5 mm [...] . And the coolness of the machines. The sensors were in action, the red lights flashing characteristics under its domed head of hydrocephalus killer [...]. There was just a white flash [...]. And the terrifying sound of the gun a spin in the atmosphere ": in his novel Babylon Babies (Gallimard, The Black, 1999), the writer " cyberpunk "Maurice G. Dantec vividly described by the entry into operation of a UCAV in the near future (2013), ravaged by a war without end. The reality has largely caught up with science fiction: in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, the U.S. military currently employs over 2000 permanent drones, including the famous Predator and Global Hawk, an attempt to flush out an elusive enemy. Designed for observation and intelligence, these flying machines are also troubling as military lethal: the CIA and the Israeli Shin Beth used "drone killers" on many occasions to rule out a missile strike "terrorists "Day Out in the desert ...

S earch & Destroy! They flew 24 hours on 24 the Iraqi desert or the mountains of Afghanistan. They keep the bases, patrol areas ambush déminent roads, explore and underground bunkers. They continuously monitor the progress of the nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea. In the air, on land, at sea, these robots militarized also known as "drones" (the word means "bumblebee" in English) is now conducting daily missions for the U.S. war machine. Unmanned aircraft Predator from General Atomics or Global Hawk from Northrop Grumman; UGVs "Sword" (Foster Miller) and "Packbot (iRobot) drone submarines MLRS (Boeing) ... Observation, recognition, mining, logistics, destruction of target: no task hitherto devoted to IM in flesh and bone is immune to these disturbing mechanical soldiers. Starting with the most dangerous. Recently, a demining company in the U.S. Army has rendered the honors to "Scooby Doo", one of 300 "Packbot tactical mobile robots" in use in Iraq, smashed to pieces by the machine he was trying to defuse. This little "Packbot" is one of the heroes of the film "The Hurt Locker" by Kathryn Bigelow ...

The robot "Sword" from the U.S. Army

D ésormais for the military, the future belongs to robot fighter this ideal always obeys orders, feels neither fatigue nor pain never a problem of conscience or family to be compensated. We are still far type robots "Terminator" to look humanoid. Forget also Artificial Intelligence, Spielberg's film where robots have an "IQ" of 150 ... But we have not seen anything yet. Since, in terms of arms race, the American military-industrial lobby does not do things by halves : 160 billion dollars! It's staggering envelope that the Pentagon got its program to develop robots war "Future Combat System (FCS ) . The never-seen since "Star Wars" of President Reagan. Objective: To equip 32 brigades of robotic vehicles the U.S. Army and Marines by 2015 (or 15% of staff)! Cornaqué by the secretive DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), the giant Boeing pilot Armament Development of 18 robots: reconnaissance vehicles, transport, clearance, artillery, combat and assault ... the full range available.
Bardés sensors, these devices will be able to stand, to spy or to fire on the enemy quite autonomously. These "HSM" (for "unmanned ground vehicles) will receive their orders via a super-soldier military intranet enabling broadband communications via satellite. The network war, the Americans call "Network Centric Warfare (NCW) and the French " Network Centric Warfare "(BOA) has already begun ... For the military use of robots on the battlefield Presented numerous advantages: "The UCAVs can focus efforts in relieving the combatants, especially where the danger is high. They save resources [...]. They ensure permanence and availability of which man is unable for physical reasons ", details a French officer enthusiast site dedicated Checkpoint Online.

Dragonfly prototype SillMach

Transcausasie, 2025: The oil war is raging. French soldiers of the Coalition for the maintenance of energy supply "approaching their objective: the suburbs of a town held by the enemy. The increase in hostile area looks dangerous for the little band ... Cautiously, the platoon leader out of his holster mesh size of a cigarette pack and extracted a cylinder oval. It is a cocoon containing a recognition microdrone "Dragonfly". Finger pressure is sufficient to liberate the small insect Mechanical 6-cm wingspan which immediately begins hovering before his "master." A hand gesture toward the goal and the "dragonfly" fly one way: for 20 minutes (maximum life), the fighter, stayed well away, have a "remote eye" transmitting live images of the enemy lines. Once the energy of its microcell MEMs exhausted, "Dragonfly" to "Crash" on the ground, the feeling of accomplishment ... "one lost, 10 more in the pocket, then think of the soldier, satisfied with the information collected by the tiny disposable robot. This future scenario is not a figment of the imagination. Since 2004, the General Delegation for Armaments (DGA) is working very seriously on this project "nanodrone" using the latest in "microrobotics bioinspirée" "The challenge is to develop a small UAV capable of fly in a closed room without bumping the walls. This implies a very good ability to hover and a field of vision to 360 degrees. We quickly realized that only nature was capable of such feats. Hence the idea to draw on the Dragonfly ", said an official the project at the DGA. For now, the "dragon" does not fly yet, but the device developed by startup SilMach on behalf of the DGA already knows flapping like a true Anisoptera. "We built on each of its four wings, 180,000 muscles in polycrystalline silicon of the diameter of a hair, the same as on a real dragonfly! It reaches several tens of beats per second " enthuses the man in the DGA. As nanodrone weighs only 120 milligrams, it will not be too difficult to take off. Teach him to view and navigate is another story. But the expert The DGA believes: its "Dragonfly" could be operational within the next twenty years ...

F ace a public opinion increasingly hostile to the war, robots can also sell the illusion of a conflict "zero death" . We understand why the Americans, who have already lost over 5,000 men in Iraq, both are interested. But the motivation is economic: robot type Sword cost $ 250,000 when an IM comes to 4 million, training to retirement! Finally, robots are involved in psychological warfare : When the Gulf War, Iraqi soldiers waved white flags at the mere sight of a drone flying over their position ... After making their debut in the U.S. or banner in the IDF (Israeli army) robots include the arsenal gradually so large armées.Très behind the Americans, Europe Defence plans to spend 5.5 billion euros in research on UAVs by 2012.

L has France is no exception: between its "FOB" (Thales, Giat, Sagem), which states "digitize" the battlefield and system " Felin ' (for "foot soldier in integrated equipment and links), the Ministry of Defence has already injected $ 1 billion euros in the" war of the future. " Specifically, two companies of the 8th RPIMA Castres and the Chad Marching Regiment received their first held in 2007 "Feline". Other units have gradually from within existing budgetary constraints affecting the Department of Defense. Developed by Sagem, the system includes light-intensifying goggles on the headset, a communication system to exchange high speed data and video, a mini-laptop for calculating coordinates and firing a gun and that Famas riflescope will also shoot the target ... "Feline", which will be delivered to 31,500 copies in the French army , will make our squaddies real "cybercombattants " able to team up with all kinds of machines in the famous "bubble."

L a general delegation of armament (DGA) is preparing an ambitious program UGVs : "In 2012 we will deploy an experimental unit called" Tactic ". It will include 40 foot, a dozen vehicles, ground robots 5 and 3 drones flying. "Tactic" We will test the pair man-machine operational status " enthuses a controller project at the DGA. On the menu, a whole range of robots on wheels or tracks from 2 kg to 1 tonne. They will arduous missions (transport of ammunition) and Dangerous (reconnaissance in enemy territory or contaminated mine) ... but will not be armed to avoid "blunders".
So will there be one day robots attack the enemy on their own
initiative? American side, it is almost certain that "Doctors Strangelove" the Darpa work on the subject. French side, we refuse - officially - to consider: "There is no question for the army French transfer automation of shooting machines. It would be too dangerous and it is an ethical issue " ensures a military source. Anyway, the "brain" of robots is still too limited. "Despite the rise automated weapons systems, man will always be the center of the fight.
Only he can take the necessary decisions in the heat of the moment and this will still be true long " believes there be in a great industry. Today, the flight of UAVs must be carefully planned and because these devices do not know "surf" alone. For more delicate missions, the "Predator" are even remotely piloted by ace of USAF based at Nellis, Nevada ...

Military violate the laws of Asimov

November 15, 2001, Afghanistan, an unmanned Predator made history by spraying a shot Hellfire missile Mohamed Atef, one of the lieutenants of bin Laden. Since that first, Americans and Israelis have repeatedly used these killer robots to eliminate the "enemy combatant". The military has thus violated the so-called "laws of robotics," Isaac Asimov ... The genius of science fiction (A parade of robots, Robot Dreams Foundation, ...) in fact has devised three basic laws that robots must comply in all circumstances ...
First law: "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being exposed to danger. "
Second Law: " A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. "
Third Law: " A robot must protect its own existence as long as it does not come into conflict with the First and / or Second Law. "In the work Asimov, robots blindly follow these three laws ... until they come to the conclusion that they are incomplete. They then formulate their own "Law Zero: " A robot may not harm humanity or, through inaction, allow humanity suffers from a disease. "The military resumed their account this ambiguous law that entitles the robots to attack humans. But in Robots and Empire Asimov, the story does not end in happy ending ...

One thing is certain, the richest nations will increasingly war in battalions UAV interposed. Robots killers Wrapped optronic sensors, machine guns and missiles against kamikaze fighters armed with Kalashnikovs and explosives? In Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, the clash of civilizations looks more and more "asymmetric" ...
