7 Future Methods of Mind ControlBy Nicholas West With the advent of television, a whole new world was opened up for would-be controllers, as news media was easily corporatized and made uniform enough to translate core messages, while encouraging passivity, and also presenting the illusion of choice. Simultaneously, choice has been reduced in fundamental areas such as finance, education and health with reams of legislation and incentives to ensure compliance. Today, however, we have entered a perilous phase where mind control has taken on a physical, scientific dimension that includes a sophisticated full-spectrum assault on the mind in the form of chemicals in the food, air, and water, as well as electromagnetic interference and the ubiquitous Big Pharma cocktail that not only pollutes the user directly, but runs off into the rest of the unknowing population. Combined with control over education and media, its no wonder why true rebellion struggles to take hold. Nevertheless, despite the above assaults, people are rebelling globally. This indicates a tentative awakening that is troubling if you are in the vast minority of those who knowingly attempt to enslave the planet. So what does tomorrow bring?The mind control of the future forgoes all pretense at indirectly altering perception through media and politics, as that continues to be exposed for what it truly is. It does away with the clumsy and sporadic effectiveness of mind-altering drugs and environmental toxins, as companies like Monsanto are not only reviled, but are seen as the epitome of true evil on earth. The mind control of the future goes straight into direct programming of the digital mind, and this is exactly what the technotronic elite are discussing right now. There are 7 likely ways this could be achieved if we dont learn about their agenda in time to continue resisting their anti-human ends. Surveillance alone can change the way we think and act. These two facets together are more powerful still. They have now been successfully intertwined into a de facto brain-computer interface. If we look at just two inventions the television and video game consoles we see a massive impact upon the way people of all ages view the world through their gadgets. In order to take people to the next level of mind control, there has to be a consumer relation to it, as well as creating something that appears intrinsically necessary to relate to the outside world. Enter the Internet and the smart devices wired into it. The Internet is every form of surveillance and gadget wrapped up into one. Now, eventhat is heading to the next level. It has been shown that this type of tech can rewire the brain. We are beginning to witness heavy investment by the twin behemoths, Google and Microsoft, in augmented reality. It is stutter-stepping to be sure based on privacy concerns, but the concept of merging reality with virtual reality has been introduced and will not likely go away. Mind-controlled computers, tablets, phones, video games and more are already here. The direct experience with mind/perception alteration preps the individual for this type of direct manipulation in other areas of their lives. Remember, this is a two-way street data received and data transmitted. Combine this with the fact that every two-way action is recorded by tech companies, then fed into government databases, and we see the foundation being erected of a pyramid with a much clearer all-seeing eye than in tyrannies of even the recent past. This is already in the mainstream news, but how about the merging of man and machine? This is what the transhumanist dream actually is, but DARPA is naturally looking to be sure it gets to the battlefield first. The Royal Society, an elite UK think-tank which will be mentioned later, has published a report that indicates an interest in using brain mapping technology to keep soldiers alert, as well as operate weaponry remotely through mind-machine interfaces. (source)With an increasing amount of robots and drones already on the battlefield and in civilian space, this opens up the possibility of thought-controlled drones. The following video from a PopSci article shows where this is heading. After this, the question becomes whether or not autonomous drones will be able to link in reverse to anyone they wish. Transcranial pulsed ultrasound was made famous by The God Helmet. This is being tested in the military and begins to form the crucial bridge between buying into it and being subjected to it. Weapons are already being developed (and possibly used) that use transcranial pulse ultra sound to soldiers to increase altertness and minimize pesky emotions like fear or compassion. It turns human beings into thoughtless drones to be controlled from a distance. On the battlefield, enemies can be subjected to the opposite lethargy, nausea, lack of impulse control, and a whole range of behavior that has no bearing upon ones will to act otherwise. Here is a frightening description from Wired reporter Jack Hitt as his brain is magnetically manipulated to have a religious experience. selected electromagnetic fields begin gently thrumming my brains temporal lobes. The fields are no more intense than what youd get as by-product from an ordinary blow-dryer, but whats coming is anything but ordinary. My lobes are about to be bathed with precise wavelength patterns that are supposed to affect my mind in a stunning way, artificially inducing the sensation that I am seeing God. (Source) Its unlikely that only benign visions are planned for battlefield Earth. Here is a link to a .mil page discussing remote control of brain activity using ultrasound:http://science.dodlive.mil/2010/09/01/remote-control-of-brain-activity-using-ultrasound/ Every single aspect of human sensation, perception, emotion, and behavior is regulated by brain activity. Thus, having the ability to stimulate brain function is a powerful technology. Indeed. RFIDis one technology being touted as a wonder for finding lost items like kids and dogs and products but has also broken through into the field of medicine. Most people might want to know, for instance, if their body was registering signs of an impending upheaval at the chemical level, before it ever had time to take hold and manifest as a full-blown physical event. This plays a major role in selling the mind-body-computer connection to nearly every age. It, too, is a form of surveillance, but one that is even more salable, as there is a finer edge to this sword than straight snooping. The area of mind control, aside from the obvious behavioral changes, becomes probable with RFID implants and ingestible RFID. VeriMeds human implant has been approved by the FDA and has been used as an ID system by the Israeli military. At the moment, this technology is being sold as an interior sensor network, but there is much more that can be done, as has been shown in animal testing. Once again, the battlefield is where it is likely to appear first in the area of neurorobotics, funded by DARPA of course, as seen in the video below: One might believe this method to be a bit lower on the scale of possibility for the general public, simply because there must be a certain level of acceptance. However, with the rise of nanotechnology which can insert itself across the blood-brain barrier, it is not out of the question that the invasion could come by stealth through food or vaccines. Nanoparticles have been admitted in food, clothing and appliances. Mad scientists have no idea what type of Pandoras Box they are opening. Their only job is to open the doors and let the guinea pigs offer the results. Scientists openly have admitted to wanting to rewire the brain through DNA modification to help us, though. To some, genetics form the basis of all behavior. Most would agree that it plays a role, even if a limited one that is subservient to the human will to determine behavior beyond being merely a de facto automaton. That isnt stopping geneticists from attempting to determine traits, then alter or eradicate certain ones. The logical extension of this testing gets into the area of behavioral predictive programming, not only through all of the data that has been compiled on you through surveillance of your every move and expression of your every thought, but right down into the very fiber of your being. Ed Boyden from MITs Neuroengineering and Neuromedia Lab, explains: If we take seriously the idea that our minds are implemented in the circuits of our brains, then it becomes a top priority to understand how to engineer brains for the better. (Source) Such as:Rewiring DNA Circuitry Could Help Treat Asthmaand other supposedly benign efforts to eradicate afflictions and disorders. The concept of genetic circuitry is being pursued to rewire human cells to sense disease and treat it. Stanford researchers led by Christina Smolke have developed engineered DNA-based devices that can sense disease states in cultured human cells and fine-tune their own functions in response to a cells internal signals, such as kill themselves or become susceptible to drugs. These autonomous biological tools are called sensor-actuator devices because they sense whats happening in a cell and act upon what they detect. (Source) Those who are involved in this area of study must call into question perfectly benign initiatives,The study was funded by the Caltech Joseph Jacobs Institute for Molecular Engineering for Medicine, the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Defense, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Economist noted in 2002 that this was the future of mind control; well, now were here. This is a huge area of research and it shows by how much is being invested, and how many federal agencies are involved. Obamas BRAIN Projectis heavily invested in the notion that the human brain is the final frontier. It is a comprehensive $100 million dollar 10-year plan that is already bearing some fruit. It is being announced by The Atlantic Wire that The Google Earth of 3D Brain Maps is Here: Meet Big Brain, the first high-res, 3D digital model of the human brain. Its the result of a huge, 10-year project built from individual scans of 7,400 slices of a single human brain. The project will help scientists learn more about our minds. () Guided by previously taken MRI images and relationships between neighboring sections, they then aligned the sections to create a continuous 3-D object representing about a terabyte of data. An overview video from the research team behind the project gives a good view of just how close this baby can get. At the highest zoom, the map cant show individual cells. But its detailed enough to learn about the different layers of cells in the brain. A typical MRI scan has a maximum resolution of about a millimeter. By comparison, Big Brain zooms in to 20 micrometers Once again, the promise is to solve the mysteries of diseases such as Alzheimers, but yet again there is DARPA to ensure that there always is underlying negative research being conducted. Memory erasure has been sought to eliminate postraumatic stress disorder, for example, which serves as a reminder of the horrors of war on both sides of a conflict. Multi-tour soldiers are more suicidal and homicidal than ever before and should prompt people to question the motivations for putting human beings in such a horrible state not seeking to erase the consequences. This type of rewiring fundamentally alters what it means to be a human being capable of compassion, empathy, and free will. And, in fact, some scientists are fortunately raising the serious ethical concerns of military mind control, as documented by Jonathan Moreno. The military, scientists and ethicists are increasingly wondering how neuroscience technology changes the battlefield. The staggering possibilities are further along than many think. There is already development on automated drones that are programmed to make their own decisions about who to kill within the rules of war. Other ideas that are closer-than-you-think to becoming a military reality: Tanks controlled from half a world away, memory erasures that could prevent PTSD, and brain fingerprinting that could be used to extract secrets from enemies. All of those questions will have to be answered sooner than later, Moreno says, along with a host of others. Should soldiers have the right to refuse experimental brain implants? Will the military want to use some of this technology before science deems it safe? Theres a tremendous tension about this, he says. Theres a great feeling of responsibility that we push this stuff out so were ahead of our adversaries. (Source) And we never should forget that what is developed on the battlefield is sure to trickle down into the rest of society. Between the Internet of Things and recent revelations that reporter Michael Hastings car could theoretically have been hacked, the concept of a direct mind upload to the Internet/Cloud should be seen as more than troubling. If all of these lesser systems are open to surveillance and hacking, whether domestically or abroad, it would stand to reason that the mind, too, will be subject to security leaks, blunders, and deliberate alteration. Neurogadget.com reported the following: Researchers at the Usenix Security conference have demonstrated a zero-day vulnerability in your brain. They achieved as much as a 40% success rate among a group of willing volunteers. The hack works by measuring the brains response to images flashed before your eyes, from which the researchers can determine things like your home location, date of birth, and even your credit card PIN. (Source) With the advent of quantum computing, some believe that encryption will guarantee the state of ones mind, as it were. But given what we know now about corporate-government overlap and cooperation, will you be comfortable putting your mind literally in the Cloud? Remember, every new level of computation promises the guarantee of more safety and privacy, while every revelation points to a vast reduction of both. The merging of man and machine into the matrix could become a permanent nightmare from which it is impossible to awaken. Nevertheless, its immortality they are after, as Ray Kurzweil, Director of Engineering at Google, explains: In his 2005 book The Singularity Is Near, Kurzweil predicted that ongoing achievements in biotechnology would mean that by the middle of the century, humans will develop the means to instantly create new portions of ourselves, either biological or nonbiologicial, so that people can have a biological body at one time and not at another, then have it again, then change it. He also said there will soon be software-based humans who will live out on the Web, projecting bodies whenever they need or want them, including holographically projected bodies, foglet-projected bodies and physical bodies comprising nanobot swarms. (Source) ***** Ill close with some potentially good news brought to us from long-time investigative reporter and author, Jon Rappoport. It is his assertion that the above-mentioned technologies are ultimately doomed to failure. Why? Its simple. The scientists dont know what theyre doing. They have no clear objectives, and the notion of building an accurate picture of a few trillion neurons in action is as far from reality as a flea painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The utopian technocrats, whove been predicting that, by the middle of this century, they will create an artificial brain that outstrips the one inside the skull, are suddenly on vacation. Theyre mumbling and backing away. Its the old put up or shut up. Theyre shutting up. Theyve got nothing. I guess paradise is postponed. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. (Source) Jon goes on to suggest that the reductionist approach to the human brain is nothing more than wishful thinking (pardon the pun) for controllers. The mind is not a material object at all. The mind is not the brain. (Source) In fact, the human brain is infinitely complex and cannot be so easily pinned down, predicted, and manipulated. That is, if we wont permit it to be. Of course, the real cure is finding a way to attain our actual size, which is without boundaries. Then and only then do we begin to see our lives. Then we see the skies beyond the cartoon sky. Then we see the great adventure. Then we feel the cosmic boredom of the soul disintegrate. Then we feel Freedom, not freedom. Then we shrug off these fools and operators who are trying to enthrall us with their yak-yak-yak sewing machines of false knowledge. Jon Rappoport What are your thoughts? Is it inevitable that science will decode the human brain so completely that we will be at the mercy of mad scientists to play us like a version of The Sims? Or is humanity in fact greater than the sum of its parts; non-quantifiable and forever as free and boundless as it wishes to be? Also Read: Nicholas West writes for selfnewsPost.com and TechSwarm.com First, humankind should first learn to control the brain it HAS before attempting to improve on it, dont you think (no pun intended)? Second, would YOU trust the so-called elites (because its guaranteed theyd grab IMMEDIATE control of the technology) to make sure that your digitally enhanced brain was unmodified as to the you-ness of it, for want of a better term no added controls so that THEY and they ALONE are in charge of it all? That ALONE seems to me an insuperable difficulty. I suspect that anyone who decided that THEY had to be gotten rid of for sheer safetys sake (after all, theyre all nuttiern a fruitcake, sadists, etc. who MUST be in charge, always!) only to find that while They have the nanobot super, SUPER-computing indestructible brain/bodies, everyone else has old second-hand T.I. calculators installed in flashlight-battery-powered (toy) robot bodies Pass. Trust issues? Where THEYRE concerned, you betcha! Look into Michael Tellinger and the Ubuntu movement! Well, folks thats it: point, set and match. Were ALREADY LOADED with nanobots. Likely all it will take is some reprogramming. And if some are somehow missed, theyll just require another vaccine. Even if someone refuses a doctor could always be ordered to give a shot hes unaware of the contents of or even that hes giving it, and so could deny it and pass any test for lying. Were screwed from so many directions its incredible!
