The big dream at Roodeplaat was to develop race-specific biochemical weapons, targeting blacks. Van Rensberg was ordered by Basson to develop a vaccine to make blacks infertile. He told the Truth Commission that was the major project assigned to him by Basson.

Space itself will become a theater of war, as nations gain access to space capabilities and come to rely on them; further, the distinction between military and commercial space systems – combatants and noncombatants – will become blurred. Information systems will become an important focus of attack, particularly for U.S. enemies seeking to short-circuit sophisticated American forces. And advanced forms of biological warfare that can “target” specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.

Yesterday I watched Anthrax War at Your Inner Vagabond, tonight I watched District 9 on the Southside. Both are awesome. In the montage of folks carping about having to live near District 9, one guy says of the “prawns”, “Someone should develop an agent that only affects them and drop it on District 9,” or something very like that.
Trailers before District 9 included one for a dystopian fantasy called 9, to be released 9-9-09.
At 1:31 in this The Fourth Kind trailer (from the looks of which, you’re probably better off just re-watching Communion), the 9 appears in repdigits 3:33 on the alarm clock.
9 + 9 = 18 = 9
2 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 11
9 + 9 + 0 + 9 = 27 = 9
9 + 9 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 29 = 11
9×9 = 81=9
9x9x9=729=18=9
72+9=81=9
7+29=36=9
81×2=162=9
16+2=18=9
1+62=63=9
36×2=72=9
72×9=648=18=9
7×29=203=5
9x9x2x9=1458=18=9
14+58=72=9
1+458=459=18=9
145+8=153=9
9x9x2009=162729=27=9

UPDATE 9-6-09
Peduto’s secretary told me today that Council will vote on Ravenstahl’s precrime ordinances 2009-1707 (11-15… no nines, but I’ll take it) and 2009-1708 (11-16, 27 [9+9+9], 9, that’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout) on 9-9-09. If you’re feelin’ it, pester this council of nine to channel some human dignity and reject ‘em (in my experience, expressing your concerns as a citizen works best if you don’t bring up numerology…

… or MegaMan).
And have I mentioned that G=7, so G20=720 ([9x9x9]-9)=9 or 7+20=27 (9+9+9)=9?
See yinz in the Universal Underworld and cuídate.
