"Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outwards, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendent, and to embrace them is to achieve enlightenment."

We get paid decently for soldiers. But buying the latest weaponry and the extra ammo needed for them really puts a dent on spending money.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

Buying the latest weaponry? From the Morgans?
Why, the Data Angels will be glad to purchase some and sell them off to the highest black market buyer...

In case you're not roleplaying here, Googlie, first time I hear that name.
In a roleplay perspective, do you really think I would reveal our infiltrator's alias?

LOL - no ropleplaying - just history
Bull (Gerald, I got the first name wrong) was the Canadian arms dealer who sold the (US developed) Big Bertha specs for a rail gun to the Iraqis a decade ago
Originally published by CAAT (Campaign Against Arms Trading)
A Canadian scientist/businessman and his Belgian company might seem out of place in a briefing concentrating on British aspects of the arming of Iraq. Dr Gerald Bull and his Space Research Corporation (SRC) are however essential elements in the story.
Dr Bull worked on ballistic research for the Canadian Armament Research and Development Establishment during the 1950s; then from 1964 to 1968 he was the Canadian director of the US Army-Canadian Department of National Defence High Altitude Research Project (HARP). This sought to develop a large calibre gun as a cheap alternative to rockets for putting satellites in low earth orbit. HARP was tested in Quebec, Arizona and Barbados, but experts doubted that such guns could place delicate satellites in orbit and the project was terminated. (Jane's Defence Weekly, 24.11.90)
In 1968, Dr Bull set up his own company, the Space Research Corporation, registered in Delaware. A Brussels SRC was set up in 1972 and it became the only one in 1980 when the US, and a Canadian SRC, went bankrupt. The company, by now with subsidiaries in Spain, Switzerland, Yugoslavia and Austria, was employing about 85 people at the time Dr Bull was murdered in March 1990. SRC wound up its operations soon after Dr Bull's death. (Financial Times, 20.4.90; Guardian, 27.4.90) During its existence the company achieved notoriety twice. The first time was in 1980 when Dr Bull was sent to prison for four months in the United States for violating US laws regarding the United Nations arms embargo on South Africa. The second time was in 1989 and 1990 when there was a whole series of revelations about SRC's involvement in arming Iraq. One of the first of these concerned the LearFan factory and TDG.Comment
