PROJECT CARTHAGE
PRESENTATION #3
JULY 13TH, 1981
Every day we see further proof that the third millenium will be one of communications.
The world grew smaller with the advent of the telegraph. Messages could be sent over long distances in record time. Right after came the telephone and the radio. The importance of communications interception and encrypting was made clear in World War II. Soon after, radio and television opened up new spaces for communications in media. And again, the Cold War has shown the importance of information intelligence and espionage.
Our most recent projects point to the development of something that could revolutionize our communication and existence. A way to share and acess information almost instantly. A network that allows people far away to be connected. We have recently taken up calling it "the Internet".
For now, it is restricted to millitary and research purposes only. But we suspect that it might not be long until it turns public, and revolutionizes our entire existence.
But such things are merely a briefing on the state of affairs. They are merely a preambulum to our latest undertaking: Project Carthage. "Carthage" as in the city that was taken by the roman general Scipio during the Punic Wars, and as we shall do to the eastern bloc and the Soviets.
The premise is rather simple: Project Carthage aims to totally disrupt enemy communications. Currently, all comunication is done mostly by underground wiring, although, most recently, wireless communication via electromagnetic waves and satellites has been gaining terrain. So, the idea is to use something that can interfere and manipulate these electromagnetical impulses and waves, thus halting all possibility of enemy communications. We plan to achieve this with a quantum supercomputer, which, using its processing and long-range satellites, will be able to send and manipulate impulses on the enemy territory.
We do not know yet where the supercomputer will be located, although most probably overseas, thus guaranteeing a better range of operation. Scouting for potential scientists and researchers has already begun.
With the increased military budget that was promised, we believe that Project Carthage will have absolute success in showing the triumph and superiority of the free world and ending whatever ambitions the communists might still hold.
