Could Smart Blood Exist Like In 'Spectre'? It's not Here Yet, But That Doesn't Mean It Won't Be Someday
James Bond has always been known for his gadgets, and although Daniel Craig's version of the character has been considerably less doohickey-heavy than past iterations, he's still managed to make use of a few over the years, from his in-car defibrillator in Casino Royale to his biometric-coded gun in Skyfall. But Spectre, the newest Bond film, changes up the formula and brings more gadgets than fans have seen in years. There are returning favorites like a tricked out Aston Martin and an exploding watch, but there's also a new twist on an old gadget that allows Bond to be tracked by his bosses, an injected microchip that records his every move. But before you start worrying that Smart Blood exists like in Spectre, relax: it's probably not gonna happen. Yet.
To Bond fans, though, the technology isn't totally new. In Casino Royale, Bond is injected with a microchip that tracks his location and monitors his vital signs. However, when he's captured by the bad guys, the device is cut out of his arm, rendering it useless. MI6 seems to have learned their lesson in Spectre, because this time around Bond is injected with Smart Blood, consisting of nanotechnology that does the same thing while flowing microscopically through his veins. As for whether it could really happen, the answer is not yet, but someday it could be.
While microchip implants do exist in the world of pets, they don't possess any tracking capabilities. Instead, they simply transmit identification information to a scanner held a few inches away using a simple radio frequency, and they don't require batteries to do so. Also, they're not used in people, though some are trying to figure out a way to implement their use in children as a way to track them if they become lost. The problem with tracking inside the body lies in current GPS technology, which requires too much battery power (and therefore size) to run on a chip that could be injected into someone's body. But wouldn't nanotechnology solve this issue? According to Spectre star Christoph Waltz, it wouldn't be that simple."If you're not scared, then you're missing the point," the actor tells Bustle. "And you kinda think, oh maybe one day we should get scared, no. It's too late. It's too late already, it's gone. It's not for nothing that the people who design these things all look like cool dudes hanging around San Francisco and make billions. They are not cool dudes, they are dangerous people."
No matter what, the technology seen in Spectre just isn't there yet. Nanotechnology refers to tech that's implemented on a molecular or even an atomic level, and its been a fixture of science fiction for decades. But now it's becoming a reality in a number of fields. There does exist a type of near-nanotechnology, called micro-electromechanical systems, that offers some GPS capability, but it's made for use in tracking guns and is not suitable to be injected into humans. However, there does actually exist nanotechnology that has been safely inserted into a human body — just not for the purposes of tracking. Some "nanobots", microscopic robots, have been used within the human eye to deliver drugs directly to the area that needs them, and the idea is that one day similar nanobots will be able to be injected into one's bloodstream to administer medication or even perform surgery. Some scientists even believe that a swarm of nanobots in the bloodstream could eventually make humans immune to disease, as the bots would simply destroy or fix any issues as soon as they arrive.
So society is still likely a ways away from having GPS trackers injected into people's bloodstreams, but given the various threads of developing technology that are heading in that direction, it seems like James Bond's "Smart Blood" may someday become a reality.

"How Climate Activists Plan To Mobilize In Paris Without Marches
BY NATASHA GEILING NOV 19, 2015 3:51PM
After days of uncertainty, the French government announced Wednesday that several side events previously planned for the U.N. climate talks in Paris — including two mass mobilizations meant to bookend the talks — would be cancelled. France remains under a state of emergency following a coordinated series of deadly attacks on November 13 that killed 129 and wounded more than 350.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors are expected to be in Paris for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which will run from November 30 through December 11. Mass mobilizations were planned for November 29 and December 12 as a way of giving civil society both the first and last word on the climate negotiations, which many hope will produce a strong international agreement on climate action.
French authorities said that while all events set to take place in closed spaces where security can be easily maintained will be allowed to proceed, the government would not allow the marches planned for November 29 or December 12 to proceed.
"This is a difficult decision to make that will probably disappoint some of those who had planned to take part, but in the current context, safety requirements prevail," a statement, issued by the French Presidency's COP21 website, said.
Organizers for 350.org, an activist group that has been closely involved in the planning of the mobilizations, expressed disappointment at the government's decision, calling it “incongruent."
"We do think it's the wrong decision," Eros Sana, France’s senior communications director for 350.org, told ThinkProgress. "The French officials are asking the population to go out in the quartiers, to drink wine, to go to work, because we cannot surrender to terrorists threats, and at the same time, they don’t allow demonstrations and marches in the streets."
We respect the decision of the state, but we are trying to find ways to keep on mobilizing and taking the streets in one way or another The final decision came the same day that French authorities arrested eight people and killed two — including the alleged mastermind behind the attacks — during a police raid in Saint Denis, outside of Paris' city center. Organizers have been engaged in discussions with authorities since the attacks, and there has been much back and forth in recent days as to whether or not the marches would be allowed to continue.
Previously, authorities had suggested that organizers down-size the march to a stationary rally capped at 5,000 participants, a suggestion that organizers said "would not be acceptable," according to the Guardian.
Instead, organizers told ThinkProgress that they are currently engaged in "intense" brainstorming sessions meant to find creative ways to ensure their voices are heard during the talks.
"We respect the decision of the state, but we are trying to find ways to keep on mobilizing and taking the streets in one way or another during the COP in Paris, in order to make sure that we have an impact on the negotiations and contributing to our movement," Nicolas Haeringer, campaigner for 350.org in France, told ThinkProgress.
While it's currently unclear what form those activities might take — Haeringer suggested something as simple as banging pots at a particular time each day during the talks — organizers expect to release concrete details within the day.
The cancelled marches are not the only civil activities that organizers have planned during the talks. Throughout the weekend of December 5 and 6, organizers will hold the People's Climate Summit in Montreuil, a suburb outside of Paris. The summit will include debates, workshops, and seminars open to the general public. From December 7 to 11, organizers will also hold a Climate Action Zone inside Paris proper, which will include events similar to the People's Climate Summit. Both of those events, according to Haeringer, are slated to go ahead as planned.
Side-events open to the public have historically played an important role in COP talks, allowing those not directly involved in the negotiations a chance to participate in some aspect of the negotiations. The official U.N. side-event area, known as the Climate Generations Area, is set to be located near the talks in Le Bourget, and appears to be going forward as planned.
Organizers also noted that various mobilizations are set to take place in countries across the globe, stressing that with France’s mobilizations prohibited, these global marches are more important than ever.
"This isn't just a mobilization in France," Sana said. "People will be marching in many places in the world, in Africa, in Italy, in other places. It's not just about French people or Parisian people. It's something that concerns everyone on the globe."
"Since 2000 Serco has been entrusted with the management of the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment. We do this as part of AWE Management Limited (AWEML), a 25-year joint venture with Lockheed Martin UK and Jacobs Engineering. AWE provides the warheads for the UK's independent nuclear deterrent.

"During the Syrian Civil War [international criminal conspiracy to destroy Syria through proxy war] Sawers supported the Chief of the Defence Staff General Sir David Richards in drawing up plans to train and equip a Syrian rebel army of 100,000 [Takfiri Islamic mercenaries financed by Saudi Arabia; Qatar; Turkey; France; UK; U.S.] to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad, as an alternative option to the government's plan for limited direct military involvement. The plans were rejected by the National Security Council as too ambitious.[20] Ultimately on 29 August 2013, parliament refused to support the government's plan to participate in military strikes against the Syrian government.[21] Sawers announced his intention to stand down from chief of the Secret Intelligence Service by November 2014, the fifth anniversary of his appointment.[2] He was replaced by Alex Younger.[22]"

"MI6 chief blows his cover as wife's Facebook account reveals family holidays, showbiz friends and links to David Irving
By JASON LEWIS, MAIL ON SUNDAY SECURITY EDITOR UPDATED: 18:14 GMT, 5 July 2009
The new head of MI6 has been left exposed by a major personal security breach after his wife published intimate photographs and family details on the Facebook website.
Sir John Sawers is due to take over as chief of the Secret Intelligence Service in November, putting him in charge of all Britain's spying operations abroad.
But his wife's entries on the social networking site have exposed potentially compromising details about where they live and work, who their friends are and where they spend their holidays.
Amazingly, she had put virtually no privacy protection on her account, making it visible to any of the site's 200million users who chose to be in the open-access 'London' network - regardless of where in the world they actually were.
There are fears that the hugely embarrassing blunder may have compromised the safety of Sir John's family and friends.
Lady Shelley Sawers' extraordinary lapse exposed the couple's friendships with senior diplomats and well-known actors, including Moir Leslie, who plays a leading character in The Archers. And it revealed that the intelligence chief's brother-in-law - who holidayed with him last month - is an associate of the controversial Right-wing historian David Irving.
Immediately after The Mail on Sunday alerted the Foreign Office to the astonishing misjudgment, all trace of the material – which could potentially be useful to hostile foreign powers or terrorists - was removed from the internet.
The move suggests that MI6 or the Foreign Office, which is also responsible for the GCHQ electronic eavesdropping centre in Cheltenham, had not vetted what sort of information Sir John and his family were distributing over the internet.
Nor does it appear that the new intelligence chief - who will be codenamed 'C' once he takes up his post - had considered the potential risks of what his family was revealing to the world.
Foreign Office staff are warned about their use of social networking sites when they join the department but MI6 expects its agents to maintain an even tighter secrecy, telling them not to reveal their true role to all but their closest family.
Sir John Sawers, currently Britain's Ambassador to the United Nations, where he sits on the highly sensitive Security Council, began his working life in MI6 but has spent the past 20 years building a career as a diplomat rather than a spy.
Senior politicians said the security lapse raised serious doubts about Sir John's suitability to head the intelligence service - and raised questions over whether an outsider should have been appointed to such a sensitive role.
Despite the security implications, Lady Sawers revealed on Facebook the location of the London flat used by the couple and the whereabouts of their three children and of Sir John's parents.
On June 16, the very day Sir John's MI6 appointment was announced, she posted 19 pictures of the couple on holiday with their friends in the West Country earlier that month.
The following day, she added a further 26 pictures, including one of Sir John playing on the beach in his swimming trucks, posing with his wife and children and chatting with friends and his mother.
Among those who joined the Sawers on the break were actors Moir Leslie, who plays both Sophie Barlow and vicar Janet Fisher in Radio 4 soap opera The Archers, and Alister Cameron, a character actor who has appeared on The Bill and Footballers' Wives.
Lady Sawers' Facebook 'friends' have also used the account to send messages of congratulations to Sir John on his new job, with one relative joking that he will now be known as 'Uncle C'.
On the day his appointment was announced, she wrote: 'Congrats on the new job, already dubbed Sir Uncle "C" by nephews in the know!'
Over the past year, Lady Sawers has been regularly updating anyone who cared to read her page - which could be found via internet search engines - on everything from family parties and holidays to the health of their pets and her views on the crisis in the Congo. She also posted 22 photographs from Sir John's mother's 80th birthday party, showing the future spy chief with his closest friends and extended family, including his 86-year-old father, his two sons, aged 25 and 24, their girlfriends, and the couple's daughter Corinne, 22, a recent Oxford University graduate who is now an aspiring actress.
Corinne recently began touring with Jenny Seagrove in the play Pack Of Lies, coincidentally about a middle-class household suddenly at the centre of an espionage drama when an MI5 spy turns up at their house."
"French Security Left Blind During November 13 Paris Terror Attacks
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
Global Research, November 15, 2015
Paul Craig Roberts
16 November 2015
I have received a report from European security that there was a massive cyber attack on French systems 48 hours prior to and during the Paris attacks.
Amongst other things, the attack took down the French mobile data network and blinded police surveillance. The attack was not a straightforward DDOS attack but a sophisticated attack that targeted a weakness in infrastructure hardware.
Such an attack is beyond the capability of most organizations and requires capability that is unlikely to be in ISIL's arsenal. An attack on this scale is difficult to pull off without authorities getting wind of it. The coordination required suggests state involvement.
It is common for people with no experience in government to believe that false flag attacks are not possible, because they think the entire government would have to be involved and not everyone would go along with it. Someone would talk. However, if the report I have received is correct, hardly anyone has to be involved, and security forces are simply disabled.
Remember the reports that during 9/11, a simulation of the actual events that were occurring was being conducted, thus confusing responsible parties about the reality.
I am unable to reveal any further information.
If security experts find the information credible, they should direct their inquiries to the French authorities.

"Who are the Nine Eyes in Spectre (James Bond 24)?
Spoiler Alert : in the 2015 James Bond film, Spectre, there is mention of a new intelligence organisation that they're setting up called Nine Eyes.
What organisations or nations would have been involved ? (Couldn't work it out during film) 1 Answer [Wrong] Graeme Shimmin, I write Bond-influenced novels and so have researched them all.
1.6k Views
• Graeme is a Most Viewed Writer in James Bond 007 (creative franchise) with 6 endorsements.
It's not an organisation, it's an intelligence-gathering alliance named for its real world counterpart the Five Eyes*
The Five Eyes comprise the main English-speaking countries who have been interoperating in intelligence-gathering since World War Two.
USA
UK
Australia
New Zealand
Canada
In real life, there's also two looser intelligence-sharing alliances:
The Nine Eyes: The Five Eyes plus Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands and France.
The Fourteen Eyes: The two above groups plus Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Spain, and Italy
It is clearly established in Spectre that South Africa is one of the countries in the Nine Eyes group (as it vetoes its creation) [China is also in the presentation by "C"]. Which perhaps implies that it's an alliance of English-speaking countries. But the meeting is in Japan, which perhaps implies it's an alliance of the G8+South Africa (for some reason).
In the end I think it's unclear exactly who is in - but the implication of the conversations the characters have is that the Nine Eyes will have total surveillance of the entire world, which the Five Eyes already has in theory - the countries of the alliance have responsibility for surveillance throughout the world, it's not like they're listening to everything."
"Sir Robert John Sawers GCMG (born 26 July 1955) is a former British diplomat and senior civil servant. He was Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6),[1] a position he had held from November 2009 until November 2014.[2] He was previously the British Permanent Representative to the United Nations from August 2007 to November 2009.[3][4] …
Foreign and Commonwealth Office[edit]
Sawers joined the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1977.[8] In his early career, Sawers worked in Yemen and Syria, on behalf of MI6.[1][9][10] He became Political Officer in Damascus in 1982 and then returned to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office to take up the role of Desk Officer in the European Union Department in 1984 and Private Secretary to the Minister of State in 1986.[8]
He was based in Pretoria and then Cape Town in South Africa from 1988 to 1991[8] during the first part of the transition from apartheid.[11] He returned to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office yet again to take up the roles of Head of European Union Presidency Planning Unit in 1991 and Principal Private Secretary to Douglas Hurd in 1993.[8] The period was dominated by war in Bosnia, crises in the Middle East, and the debate in Britain on the European Union.
From 1995 to 1998 he was in the United States and spent a year as an International Fellow at Harvard University[8] and later at the British Embassy in Washington D. C., where he headed the Foreign and Defence Policy team.[8]
From January 1999 to summer 2001 he was Foreign Affairs Adviser to Prime Minister Tony Blair,[8] dealing with all aspects of foreign and defence policy and working closely with international counterparts.[11] The period included the Kosovo War. He also worked on the Northern Ireland peace process and the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement. He reviewed the Iraq sanctions policy during this period and issued a document that included consideration of regime change.[12]
He served two years in the Middle East as Ambassador to Egypt from 2001 to 2003,[8] and for three months was the British Government's Special Representative in Baghdad[8] assisting in the establishment of the Coalition Provisional Authority as the transitional government during the Occupation of Iraq.
In August 2003 Sawers was appointed Director General for Political Affairs at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In this post he advised the Foreign Secretary on political and security issues worldwide and negotiated on behalf of the Foreign Secretary with international partners in the G8, EU and the UN. He was particularly closely involved in policy on Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkans. Sawers headed the British team in the EU-3negotiations over Iran's nuclear program in 2006,[13] utilising his scientific background on nuclear matters.[14]
In 2007 he became British Permanent Representative to the United Nations.[8]
Sawers is a governor of the Ditchley Foundation, which aims to promote international, especially Anglo-American, relations.[15] Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service[edit] [Check C in Spectre]
Sawers was announced as the new chief of the Secret Intelligence Service on 16 June 2009, succeeding Sir John Scarlett. He took up his new appointment in November 2009.[1] In July 2009 his family details were removed from the social networking site Facebook following media interest in the contents.[16][17] On 10 and 16 December 2009 Sawers gave evidence to The Iraq Inquiry.[12][18] In July 2010 his salary was revealed to the public to be in the range of £160,000 to £169,999.[19]
During the Syrian Civil War Sawers supported the Chief of the Defence Staff General Sir David Richards in drawing up plans to train and equip a Syrian rebel army of 100,000 to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad, as an alternative option to the government's plan for limited direct military involvement.

"Ex-MI6 chief Sir John Sawers: We cannot stop terrorism unless we spy on innocent people [Spectre = Special Executive for Counter Intelligence Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion] Former head of Secret Intelligence Service uses first speech since leaving to say there cannot be 'no-go areas' on internet as he warns of 'all but inevitable' attack on UK By David Barrett, Home Affairs Correspondent, and Colin Freeman 9:30AM GMT 20 Jan 2015 The British security services will not be able to prevent terrorism unless they monitor the internet traffic of innocent people, the former head of MI6 has said.
Sir John Sawers, the chief of the Secret Intelligence Service until November last year, warned a successful terrorist attack on the UK by Islamic militants is all but inevitable as he said there cannot be "no-go areas" on the internet.
In his first public speech since stepping down from the spy chief role he said: "There is a dilemma because the general public, politicians and technology companies, to some extent, want us to be able to monitor the activities of terrorists and other evil-doers but they don't want their own activities to be open to any such monitoring.
"The benefit of the last 18 months' debate is that people now understand that is not possible, and there has to be some form of ability to cover communications that are made through modern technology."
Sir John said the internet had to be open in the same way as communities in the real world.
17 Jan 2015 Amid wide public debate about the need for new online surveillance powers, he said: "The Prime Minister was right when he was saying last week we can't afford to have complete no-go areas.
"We cannot have no go areas in our communities where the police cannot go, because that just allows space room for the evil-doers to ply their trades.
"It is the same in the virtual world.
"If you allow areas which are completely impenetrable then you might feel comfortable that your communications are private and no one else can see them, but so are those who are trying to do you down and undermine your society."
He said the revelations by Edward Snowden, the former CIA contractor, had captured the public's attention because they had not been properly informed about the security services' online surveillance capabilities.
Snowden, who revealed top secret details about online monitoring, had "thrown a massive rock in the pool", said Sir John, but he admitted that the move had led to a public debate.
Sir John went on that Snowden "gained traction" because the public did not know that GCHQ, the Government listening post, and its US counterparts "could monitor traffic on the internet in the way that it could".
"It was certainly a great concern for me that the, if you like, the informal co-operation that worked well between most technology companies and communication companies and security services was broken by the Snowden revelations and has not been repaired," he said.
"These new developments in technology and in communications are vastly advantageous to our economies and to our way of life and to family cohesion.
"But if a technology companies allow to be developed areas which are simply impenetrable, you are inviting problems.
"We have to find a way as a society whereby the technology companies ... and those responsible for the security of our societies can work together so that the interests of both can be met with limited compromise.
"Now, I do not believe that there is a trade-off between security and privacy. I think they go together.
"If you have a society which evades and abuses privacy, then ultimately there will be a reaction against the damage to your security.
"If you do not have any security then all your basic freedoms are at threat.
"So we have to find a way of building the trust in governments and in technology companies that both the private uses that people justifiably expect to be able to have of these new technologies and the public goods are both being met at the same time.
"Now Snowden threw a massive rock in the pool. The ripples from that still have not died down, but it has provoked a debate on these very difficult issues.
"There needs to be some new compact between the technology companies and those who are responsible for security if we are not to see events like we saw in Paris last week and which we have seen also across in Yemen, in Nigeria, and so on become more and more features of our lives."
"We cannot afford for that to happen." Sir John said there were so many terror plots ongoing that it was a certainty that the security services would not be able to foil them all.
"We are not saying that an attempted terror attack is highly likely, but that an attack actually getting through is highly likely," he told an audience of business leaders in London.
Sir John said while the majority of the British-based Muslims who had gone to fight in Syria would probably pose no security threat when they returned home, a "hard core" would almost certainly attempt to mount terror attacks.
"I think the great majority of them are probably mightily relieved to get back [to the UK], but there will be a hardened core who are absorbed into extremist ideology who will pose a real threat to us back here.
"The security community has done a fantastic job keeping threats at bay, but if I was to sit here and ask 'will the goalkeepers of the police and security services foil every single attempt to score a goal?', the answer is no.
"At some point a threat will get through," he said at the central London launch of the Edelman Trust Barometer, an international survey of public trust in institutions including the security services and other government institutions.
The UK survey found public trust in the intelligence agencies was far higher than for other official bodies.
It found 64 per cent said they trusted MI6 and 72 per cent trusted MI5, the domestic security agency, compared with a 43 per cent rating for government overall.
Sir John said the security agencies had begun to rebuilt public trust following concern over the "dodgy dossier" under Labour prime minister Tony Blair in 2003, which was later used to justify the invasion of Iraq on the grounds that Saddam Hussein's regime was claimed to have weapons of mass destruction.
Sir John said the British agencies had achieved the turn-around by being "skilful and clever rather than violent and thuggish", in a reference which will be widely interpreted as a veiled swipe at the CIA.
The American agency's involvement in torture was detailed in a report from the US Senate Intelligence Committee last month. Spy fiction such as James Bond films also helped boost the reputation of the British agencies, Sir John admitted. "Our favourable reputation in popular fiction, as we all know, helps on trust," he said."
"Most recently, Serco proposed the inclusion of mobile application tools and games to reinforce training and provide continuous and "in the field" performance support [to ISIL]. To date, Serco has developed six mobile apps which have been distributed for both the iOS (Apple App Store) and Android (Google Play) environments. Together, these apps have reached over 15,000 soldiers and have allowed DAC to become a center of excellence in this burgeoning training environment."
"Canada 2020 and the New Malthusian Takeover of Canada
Matthew Ehret / March 12, 2014
By Matthew Ehret-Kump
Today, the Canadian political landscape is being remoulded by a grouping of British agents who seek to accomplish an overhaul of the Liberal Party structure in line with the reform conducted 54 years ago with the British-run ouster of the "continentalist" liberals of C.D. Howe and Prime Minister St. Laurent during the interim period of 1957-1963.
This 1957-1963 destruction of the once pro-development spirit of the Liberal Party of Canada was replaced by a Fabian Society/Rhodes Scholar-run instrument of technocratic fascism culminating in the 1968-72 revolution in cybernetic affairs early on in the mandate of Pierre Elliot Trudeau. This federal "Quiet Revolution" put a complete halt to scientific and technological progress and ushered in the green destruction of the pro-development orientation that had hitherto dominated top down policy making and mass popular consciousness in Canada and replaced it with a new oligarchical system of control in government based on Trudeau's commitment to Cybernetics and Systems Analysis. In fact, as Julian Huxley outlined over 20 years earlier, Cybernetics and Systems Analysis-thinking would be the tools selected to repackage "Eugenics" and "Malthusianism" under new names."
