Scores of such mind-bending inventions have been cooked up at secret government facilities nationwide, but they're being kept under wraps for national- security reasons, a leading science writer claims.
"If average citizens saw a fraction of the technology that exists today, it would blow their minds," declares D.C.-based Martin Claybee, who was granted unprecedented access to government labs by his scientist pals. Claybee says the primary excuse officials now use for keeping breakthroughs secret is that it gives us an edge in the war on terrorism.
"Part of what makes these devices so effective is that Al Qaeda has no idea we have them," he explains. "It's the same reason the Allies kept the invention of radar secret during World War II.
"But much of this stuff really doesn't need to be classified -- taxpayers have a right to know about it."
Some of the nifty inventions would make Luke Skywalker's jaw drop.
"An invisibility generator based on advances in quantum physics was developed in the late 1990s," Claybee reveals. "We used it with great effectiveness in Operation Iraqi Freedom to camouflage armored vehicles."
A "death ray" type laser capable of laying waste to entire cities sits mounted on a U.S. military satellite -- and has been in place since the Reagan administration, Claybee reveals.
Androids not only exist, they're being used by the CIA for intelligence gathering and assassinations.
"At least 60 are in the field right now," says Claybee. "Their primary role is to hunt down and liquidate terrorist leaders. To the untrained eye, they appear to be people, but they are robots with sensing capabilities and problem-solving abilities far superior to any human."
A mind-reading machine that translates thought waves into sentences that can be read on a computer monitor was finally perfected earlier this year.
"The device is being used by the National Security Agency to scan the United States 24 hours a day for 'red flag' terms such as 'bomb,' " Claybee claims.
A universal translator capable of interpreting animal speech has existed since 1993, but is being suppressed out of concerns that it might adversely affect the meat industry.
"Who'd slaughter a pig if you could hear it say, 'Please, don't hurt me,'?" Claybee asks.
Despite public declarations that cloning must be banned, government scientists created the first human clone in 2001. A total of 13 are now being raised in facilities nationwide -- including four duplicates of a beloved former president.
Incredibly, a functioning time machine was invented last year. "Currently you can only go about 90 seconds into the past, but researchers believe that will soon be extended to 10 minutes, Claybee says. "Eventually it will be possible to reverse bad foreign policy decisions without the public being any the wiser."
Chillingly, a Doomsday Device like the one in Dr. Strangelove is a reality. In fact, the U.S. has possessed a single bomb capable of destroying Earth since 1974, the science writer says.
A solar reactor has been built that can supply America with an unlimited supply of cheap energy. "Unfortunately, oil companies have a lot of pull in Washington -- it's in their interests to keep this deep-sixed," Claybee notes.
