Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A 'Gay Bomb'

A few years ago, the Pentagon was found to have spent money experimenting with “Remote Sensing” psychics. Apparently it didn’t work.

I do foresee all kinds of useful, weird technology based on the equivalent of thought control. There are just too many possibilities. Induce pain? Panic? Visionary religious experiences? Orgasm? Eventually, maybe very soon, at least one of these will become feasible for battlefield use.

If they really wanted to make things better they would have packaged the gay bomb come with an improved gaydar. That would really cut down on embarrasing situations.

Hmmm that’s no excuse for sitting at the computer dressed in that awful stained shirt, oh and could you please throw your trash in the bin,and clean up this mess for godsake ! remote virual nagger :smiley:

He’s pointing out that the idea that turning men gay would make them too interested in sex (a typical stereotype) instead of fighting the war is as utterly ridiculous as the idea that a “black bomb” which turned enemy troops black would make them lose interest in war because they were too interested in fried chicken, watermelon and dancing (also typical old stereotypes).[/quote]

OOOOOOHHHHH, thanks

Slow on the uptake Namahottie :smiley:

I think it was also the thought that someone could
“turn” gay simply by getting a whiff of the right chemicals. It’s just as ridiculous as the thought that someone could “turn” black for the same reasons.

Chemically gay.

Gay Military - Museum

Yesterday, while the world celebrated the 60th anniversary of VE-Day, while parades of veterans were saluted and thanked, and wreaths were placed in front of memorials----a lineup formed around the block for the opening of the new Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. It’s a $136-million dollar project, and the galleries not only display hundreds of thousands of military artifacts, they’ll also display some 13-thousand pieces of war art, including works by the Group of Seven.

One of the more curious artifacts from our more recent military history can also be found at the new museum. It was at one time called a [color=blue]“fruit machine”[/color]. It was designed during the Cold War to ferret out homosexuals from the civil service and the military. There was a Canadian made machine but it was destroyed years ago. However, our government also used a smaller, American model. And it’s on display at the new War Museum in Ottawa.

Yesterday our producer in Ottawa, Lisa Hebert, attended the museum’s opening, and asked people about it.

Sociologist and historian, Gary Kinsman has studied these machines and other lie detector tests, and has written extensively about the moral panic around homosexuality during the Cold War. He’s also the author of The Regulation of Desire: Homo and Hetero Sexualities and he’s researching a book on national security campaigns in Canada against lesbians and gay men for a book to be titled The Canadian War on 'Queers. Gary Kinsmen joined s us from Sudbury, where he teaches at Laurentian University. [/quote]
