Military Plants

An army in our homes, on our streets!

The newest military recruits could soon be standing at attention on your windowsill. Good grief there could be soldiers eyeing you from the corner of every room.

"As concerns grow over the threat of bio-terrorism, researchers are attempting to develop an early-warning system, using plants, that can detect and signal the presence of harmful chemical or biological agents."

One morning I enter Greenhouses #5, the plant in the corner has turned red. Quickly I grab the spray-gun and start hunting. Somewhere in here is a bunch of aphids. Let the war games begin.

"Other than sensing the presence of chemical warfare agents or animal pathogens such as anthrax, sentinel plants could help farmers detect the presence of pests in their crops or report on the progress of fruit ripeness to optimize harvesting."

Don't walk through yellow snow or off-colour plants.

"Land mines leak, and the soil around them contains TNT decomposition, Plants engineered to (change colour) when they detect TNT residues in soils, could be sown over suspected mine fields."

Penn State Scientists are laying the groundwork for these so-called 'sentinel plants,' which are genetically engineered to perform their tasks.

What's an anti-military moonbat to do? Now if you hug a tree it will push you away and say: "sorry ma'am, but that's against military regulations."

Men, I mean plants, with guns in our cities. We're not making this up.
