（一）
英美“特殊关系”一词，最早是由英国前首相Winston Churchill 温斯顿 丘吉尔于
1946年提出的。1946年3月5日，丘吉尔在美国密苏里州的富尔敦市发表的“铁幕演说”
中说道：“从波罗的海的什切青到亚得里亚海边的的里雅斯特，一幅横贯欧洲大陆的铁
幕已经降落下来。在这条线的后面，有中欧和东欧古国的都城。华沙、柏林、布拉格、
维也纳、布达佩斯、贝尔格莱德、布加勒斯特和索菲亚——所有这些名城及其居民无一
不处在苏联的势力范围之内。。。”
富尔敦演说公开并明确的发出了冷战的信号，表明西方国家已经开始把苏联看成是最大
的威胁。而斯大林在3月13日的一次谈话中对此进行了回击，他说丘吉尔“是要在盟国
中散播纠纷的种子”，“是号召同苏联进行战争”。
冷战初期，由于文化、历史和军事安全利益上的相同点使得英美两国在二战时期建立的
“特殊关系”通过北大西洋公约组织的建立，以新的军事同盟的形式得以延续和发展。

监控乃至限制或禁止等措施的建议。该建议妨碍了转基因既得利益集团的商业利益，于
是，他们雇用的枪手文人接连出来，说转基因技术可制造杀伤武器的说法是“危言耸听

开征集相关国防用品设计了。故事很多，下面就说最近发生的一个故事。
2012年开始，美国国防系统的“达尔帕”（DARPA）部门公开招标“蛋白折叠”软件设
计，项目名称是“FOLD-IT”（直译：折叠它）。所谓“蛋白折叠”，就是根据某基因
结构而形成某蛋白的过程；该蛋白发挥功能可使某生命体幸存发育或残疾死亡。要实现
某种预期的蛋白折叠，就先要实现某种基因结构。到目前，基因结构设计包括DNA-水平
和RNA-水平的两种设... 阅读全帖 |
