The book of curiosities (Islamic typography from medieval period)

Picture I



Above the text is Islamic typography from the medieval period, and there is one very interesting thing about it. This figure is claimed to portray some harbors or something like that, but in fact, it seems like a bacillus. When we are thinking about the paintings and other kinds of art, there could be a difference between things, what artist claim to portray, and then the thing, what the painting or in this case, typography really portraits.

The thing is the microscope was invented by Robert Hooke in the 17th century is not true. Hooke published the orders on how to prepare the sample, but the microscope itself has been known for a long time ago. And the thing is that if this figure is actually the bacillus, it would be the plague bacillus, one of the most deadly organisms on earth. When we are thinking about the well-known inventions like microscopes there is the possibility, that some of them were actually the things, what are called as the top secret.

And maybe some Islamic leaders would keep this kind of information out of the eyes of the ordinary people.  The epidemics have been a good way to control people because the existence of those microbes was not probably commonly known thing. And the plague or some other epidemics would be explained as the hate of God, what caused that the people were not enough concerning the service of the god, and leave thoughts to the leaders. It was the spirit of the medieval period.

In medieval society, the purpose of the people was to serve the god, who was represented by the local leader. The things were not different in the Islamic and European side. And if there were too much free time in the area, people would start to ask, why somebody would not do a thing? And in those cases, the artificial epidemic was probably the best way to turn the eyes of the people in another turn from the palace of a local leader.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...

Facebook and dominance of the media.

The position of Facebook is dominating and that causes concern. Facebook is a well-known and commonly used service. And that thing causes that the information is starting to pile up in that service. That information contains data that we might want to hide. Facebook is a network-based service that can use for many purposes from marketing to intelligence.  Facebook was down and the thing cost about half a million dollars per hour to that service. That shutdown has shown how dominating that service has been growing. Facebook is a powerful tool. It can use to track the networks of people.  Artificial intelligence can show the network map of the people who are using that service. The data that travels between certain members of the network can show how often those people are contacting each other. There is a lot of criticism against Facebook but the fact is that everybody is using that thing.  The attitudes toward Facebook are conflicting. People are criticizing that service ...
