[00:00:00]  Black Ops 2, the sequel to the best-selling game of all time, places the player in a year
[00:00:15]  2025 that isn't very far-fetched.
[00:00:17]  I'm Jakari Jackson for the Info Wars Nightly News.
[00:00:20]  The original game was praised for its moderate historical accuracy.
[00:00:24]  Let's analyze these new trailers to see if the same can be said for 2's dystopic future.
[00:00:28]  Spoiler alert.
[00:00:29]  Unmanned armies.
[00:00:31]  And no one ever asks...
[00:00:34]  What happens...
[00:00:37]  When the enemy steals the keys?
[00:00:39]  Let's start with a look at future technologies.
[00:00:50]  Technology got stronger.
[00:00:52]  But we got weaker.
[00:00:57]  Now believe it or not, everything in that clip is in various stages of production or completion.
[00:01:02]  Take the nuke.
[00:01:03]  The Brookings Institute reports that over 67,000 nuclear missiles have been built since 1951, a conservative number.
[00:01:11]  Next, the tilt-rotor vehicles.
[00:01:13]  The Osprey V-22 has come a long way since George LaBerger patented the tilt-rotor design in 1930.
[00:01:19]  The walking tank is making fast strides at DARPA, as is the Pegasus drone.
[00:01:26]  And drones are already flying the U.S.
[00:01:28]  skies, even though they're vulnerable to hacks and the Pentagon admits that they do not trust their own robots.
[00:01:34]  Call of Duty chose a different approach with their villain this time, a hacker.
[00:01:39]  People in America idolizing their hero has wiped them out!
[00:01:46]  Cyber attacks are constantly in the news, but what's often left on the cutting room floor is that organizations such as the FBI have used hackers for illegal activities.
[00:01:55]  And the NSA doesn't need hackers because they can tap your phone without a warrant.
[00:01:59]  The enemy could be anywhere, and it could be anyone.
[00:02:04]  The voice in the last clip belongs to Oliver North, the man at the center of the Iran-Contra scandal, where he and others sold U.S.
[00:02:11]  arms to a foreign country outside of U.S.
[00:02:13]  law.
[00:02:14]  But if you try to buy a few boxes of bullets, you may get a call from your local state police.
[00:02:19]  At the Contra hearings, North was also questioned about continuity of government plans, also known as Rex 84.
[00:02:25]  Let's take a look at this clip that exposes the cover-up.
[00:02:28]  Colonel North, in your work at the NSC, Were you not assigned at one time to work on plans for the continuity of government in the event of a major disaster?
[00:02:39]  Mr. Chairman?
[00:02:43]  I believe that question touches upon a highly sensitive and classified area, so may I request that you not touch upon that, sir?
[00:02:54]  A contingency plan in the event of an emergency that would suspend the The cause of war in this game is the control of rare earth materials.
[00:03:02]  That was the area in which he had worked.
[00:03:28]  This case involves something called rare earth materials, which are used by American manufacturers to make high-tech products like advanced batteries that power everything from hybrid cars to cell phones.
[00:03:40]  It's time for the spoiler.
[00:03:45]  At some point in the game, drones are hacked and attack the G20 summit in the year 2025, leaving the player to defend the US president in a war-torn Los Angeles.
[00:03:58]  So there you go.
[00:03:59]  Give up all your rights and sign up for the Internet ID, or Anonymous is going to team up with the Dulcegizman and start blowing stuff up.
[00:04:06]  Black Ops 2 is scheduled for release in mid-November.
