The 9 Goals of Mind Control: Interim ReportNicholas West It is a comprehensive plan to map the human brain for purposes of determining how degenerative conditions arise, how thoughts are formed, and how behavior can be reverse engineered to the source of its gestation. Once determined, scientists intend to intervene and control the mind through a variety of methods, both direct and indirect. The Brain Research through AdvancingInnovative Neurotechnologies(BRAIN) Working Group has now issued its Interim Report in a search for continued funding through 2014. It is appropriately titled, as we have arrived at a critical juncture where the arrival of full-fledged, broad-scale direct mind control could become part of our future. Or, the vast complexities of the human brain could be revealed as an insurmountable task to decode, regardless of the amount of funding or wishful thinking of transhumanists and technocrats alike. There certainly have been a plethora of advertised advancements released in the scientific community indicating that the brain can be altered in very significant ways. So far, the animal research is out in the open, but every announcement is freely coupled with the plan to apply these findings to humans once legal and ethical concerns are overcome. Now might be the time where the public is being conditioned to see the totality of what is being suggested as not only inevitable, but desirable.

There is a bit of technical language used here, but pay particular attention to the recurring assertion of theoretical applications in humans, as well as the repeated language about circuit manipulation. That circuit is the wiring of your brain and, they hope, your thoughts and behavior. The recent breakthroughs alluded to previously, and this suggestive interim report, barely scratch the surface as the pace increases toward the dizzying. Add in a type of living transistor that uses DNA merged with graphene, plus the advent ofquantum computing applied to advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence, and the architecture of the genuine matrix is being designed before our very eyes and quickly. As the BRAIN project figuratively pauses for their interim report, it would be wise for us to seriously pause and reflect about the potential implications of these experiments. For those who have genuine concerns about the potential for abuse, as well as runaway consequences similar to what we have seen with GMO and Big Pharma in general, it is time to use any method possible to communicate that this research must be put forth in the public domain for full scrutiny and review, with proper limitations codified. Already, as with all things science and tech related, DARPA the military research arm of the U.S. government has their tentacles all over this research. But, this time, even with their intent to control and use this technology with historically less than peaceful intentions, nanotech has the means to move beyond anyones control. The merging of the biological brain and a nearly infinite computational overlay is indeed the final frontier and must gain our full attention while we still have any wits left of our own. 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? RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLES:
