Speaking of Zbigniew Brzezinski, I wanted to post a couple of passages from his seminal text “Between Two Ages. America's Role in the Technetronic Era”. In these passages, Brzezinski predicted the future use of both weather and technetronic warfare, including directed energy weapons. He mentioned how they could “impair the brain performance of very large populations in selected regions over an extended period”. Terrifying stuff.

“In addition to improved rocketry, multim issiles, and more powerful and more accurate bombs, future developments may well include automated or manned space warships, deep sea installations, chemical and biological weapons, death rays, and still other forms of warfare—even the weather may be tampered with. These new weapons could either encourage expectations of one sided, relatively "inexpensive" victory; permit proxy contests that will be decisive in their strategic political outcome but will be fought by only a few human beings (as in the Battle of Britain) or even by robots in outer space;46 or simply create such mutual instability that the breakdown of peace will become inevitable, in spite of man's rational recognition of the futility of war."
