A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction...
This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every statehouse, every office of the federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together.
1961年前MJ-12確實是聽命於總統,但在1961年後的一項協議遭到改變,其委員會每四年更換一屆人員,人選的任命從艾森豪後便不再由總統負責。甚至有些總統根本不知道此委員會存在,此委員會現今由DOD負責。此外臭名昭彰的布希家族自萬尼巴爾布希時代即有眼線在此委員會,同時他也是雷神公司的創始元老之一,他把羅斯威爾科技移交到通用電氣(General Electric Company)公司旗下的貝爾實驗室(Bell Laboratories)的經手人及一個名為"多若萬項目"的互聯網圖書館計畫策劃者。
Thomas Townsend Brown,一般人對這位先森的了解可能不多,他很早就發現了非導電體在高電壓下仍然會產生引力場,甚至發了其推力是噴射引擎的100倍之多,但一般物質在這樣的電壓下會解體,基於引擎的受壓介質,所以nano materials(納米材料)是最可能的選擇,但如果使用納米碳管則不適合,它是導電體無法適用。

2011年11月﹐美國防部DARPA在日本召集﹐所有機器人研發機構﹐作人形救災機器人設計競賽﹐資助經費最高可達400萬﹐為期兩年。要能完成8項工作 -開車﹐跨過瓦礫﹐移開障礙物﹐開門﹐用工具破牆﹐爬梯子﹐轉動閥門﹐進行維修。與會者有人質疑﹐這些研究終將會轉成軍事用途。DARPA主持人不否認﹐說就算是醫療用機器人﹐終究也會用在軍事上。
