Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the first section of this article I describe the United States’ (U.S.) war on Iraq in March 2003 by way of a focus on the targeting of Baghdad and the U.S. military’s utilization of high-tech “weapons of intelligence and targeting,” including of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Special Operations Forces. In the second section, I argue that the “new U.S. civilian-military elite” associated with the “Project for the New American Century” (PNAC) is today waging a similar war inside the U.S. on the Utopia (society without war) of the global peace movement. Targeting what I call the “Imaginist City,” the new U.S. civilianmilitary elite is exploiting high-tech weapons of intelligence and targeting, UAVs and Special Operations Units with the aim of pursuing what I portray as the politics of noise. I illustrate my contentions in the third section by demonstrating how the new U.S. civilian-military elite and PNAC has activated a sequence of assaults on the Utopian society and Imaginist City of the global peace movement and how, following the domestic deployment of hightech weapons of intelligence and targeting such as UAVs on the U.S.-Mexican border and Special Operations Units in New York, the global peace movement might resist such attacks.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
