It’s Official, I’m Creeped Out By This Latest Technology

I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU, but if I met either one of these freakin’ things in the street at night – hell even in broad daylight – I’d be heading the other direction as fast as my tired old legs could carry me.

This first abomination is apparently what the Georgian riot police use these days to inflict peace on protestors. Once you get over the crazy Mickey Mouse resemblence the fear kicks in.

I have to admit it looks to me like some sort of melted drug hazed storm trooper from hell, but it does the trick. If inflicting terror is part of the psi-war being fought then full marks for this one because it’s creepy as hell.

Actually I’m not sure which is scarier – the riot helmet from hell or the size of that gun these lads are carrying.

Still, not to be outdone by the Georgians, the Brits are now testing a new helmut for their advanced F-35 Joint Strike Fighter pilots down in Wiltshire.

Those green eyes are mad enough, but it seems this puppy will also allow pilots to basically look through their planes.

According to the MOD blurb “This Helmet Mounted Display System provides the pilot with cues for flying, navigating and fighting the aircraft. It will even superimpose infra-red imagery onto the visor which allows the pilot to ‘look through’ the cockpit floor at night and see the world below”.

This is the future, it seems. And it’s not happening sometime ‘in the future’, it’s already here!

Scared yet?
