They told about all of this in 1999:
Page: Our biochem corpus is far in advance of theirs, as is our electronic sentience, and their... ethical inflexibility has allowed us to make progress in areas they refuse to consider.
Simons: The augmentation project?
Page: Among other things, but I must admit that I've been somewhat disappointed with the performance of the primary unit.
Simons: The secondary unit should be online soon. It's currently undergoing preparations and should be operational within six months. My people will continue to report on its progress. If necessary, the primary will be terminated.
Juan Lebedev: You didn't have parents. The ones you knew were employees. You were made by a cabal of technophiles so crazed for power that they would control not only governments and people but the chemistry of our bodies as well.
Joe Greene: Let me be more pointed. How does it feel to be ordered to murder civilians just because they support the fastest-growing political movement in this nation's history?
JC Denton: In a democracy, armed rebellion is criminal, not political.
Joe Greene: Rebellion, as the Declaration of Independence tells us, is not only our "right" but our "duty" when we have suffered "a long train of abuses and usurpations".
JC Denton: Blackmail of the U.S. Government could not possibly escape the notice of the United Nations.
Paul Denton: Don't be so quick to trust the UN.
JC Denton: Are you kidding? The UN's about the only chance we got these days. If the U.S. spirals into another civil war...
Paul Denton: A pretext, nothing more. The whole project of world government -- going back to the League of Nations -- has been funded and manipulated mainly by wealthy bankers.
JC Denton: Is that so?
Paul Denton: Remember that the UN was built on land donated by John D. Rockefeller. Get on board...
The entire story is about one man's great awakening.
