Mind Control Scientists Find New Memory Manipulation TechnologyUpdate to the ongoing quest by neuroscientists to manipulate human thought and what we can do to combat it. The race to decode the brain continues, and quickens by the day. A wild array of new possibilities are opening in the field of mind control. The mind control of the future forgoes all pretense at indirectly altering perception through media and politics, or even mind-altering drugs and environmental toxins. The mind control of the future goes straight into direct programming and rewiring of the human brain. These new mind control techniques are being introduced in gadgets that create a brain-computer interface, magnetic manipulation via neural dust, and even the direct uploading of the contents of our brain. One must then consider the subsequent hacking of our minds in the digital realm. Memory research is a key component of this as well, and neuroscientists are making great strides to ensure that our memories are destined to become fully controllable. Our memories help us form our identity: who we are relative to where we have been. Positive or negative lessons from the past can be integrated into our present decisions, thus enabling us to form sound strategies and behaviors that can aid us in our quest for personal evolution. But what if we never knew what memories were real or false? What if our entire narrative was changed by having our lifes events restructured? Or what if there were memories that were traumatic enough to be buried as a mechanism of sanity preservation, only to be brought back to us in a lab? The latest research indicates a disturbing quest by technocrats and reductionists to interfere with this human cognition and even deliberately plant false memories, or create entirely new ones. Damn the ethics; science continues full throttle, largely at the behest of military ideology and funding. The proverbial canary in the coal mine has transformed into lab animal. Apparently, until humanoid robots can be released full force, they need to create the best human facsimile possible. In a supposed attempt to understand why people can have memories of things that never happened, or divergent reports of the same documented event, the upshot of recent experiments with mice is that it is in fact possible to implant false memories of events that never have happened. Beyond that, researchers can implant fear: What you have just read is a form of trauma-based mind control. Of additional note is that scientists employed a virus to change the neurons DNA so that they produce a protein switch that is sensitive to light. Then, when these neurons are struck by light (a hole is drilled in the mouses skull and a laser is shot into that region of the hippocampus), the memory is turned on. A literal on/off switch to produce fear. Ironically, a recent study at Scripps claims to have discovered how to remove those fear- and trauma-based memories, selectively wiping the hard drive clean. They are excited about the possibilities to reduce dangerous drug-associated memories and other types of post traumatic stress disorder, while preserving the happier times: Also from Scripps comes the discovery of exactly how long-term memories are formed by proteins: Scientists at UC Irvine have gone one step further: directly altering the neurons in the brain of a mouse to produce an entirely new memory by sound alone. Whereas the above is trauma-based, this type of interference can be generated by tone: This is a further sample of how thoughts can potentially be controlled from a distance and without the knowledge of the person toward whom the technology has been directed. Along similar lines, researchers have found a way to bring back memories by targeting specific frequencies once again touting the benefit to Alzheimers patients: The study, published in the journal Nature, is the first to show the ability to selectively remove a memory and predictably reactivate it by stimulating nerves in the brain at frequencies that are known to weaken and strengthen synapses. The work builds on earlier researchonNMDA receptors. Roberto Malinow, a professor of neurosciences and senior author of the study, said: We can form a memory, erase that memory and we can reactivate it, at will, by applying a stimulus that selectively strengthens or weakens synaptic connections. This is part of the grand future of neuroscience, which is receiving funding from the$100 million BRAIN projectin the U.S., and another $1.3 billion committed by Europe.We are already seeing some very unethical applications, like seeking ways to make people suffer eternally by distorting ones sense of time. We would do well to weigh the positives and negatives while we still have the capacity to freely form and communicate our own thoughts; because the next step is on the horizon . . . and it looks rather grim for anyone who values human emotion. Returning to The Journal of Neuroscience: So how does one combat attempts at mind invasion? Obviously, while we still have the choice to consciously resist, we must do it with every fiber of our being. This includes not getting suckered into buying the benefits without being aware of how these techniques will become more widespread. This is not to say that there are no benefits, but until the ethics get properly sorted out, we must employ the cautionary principle first and foremost. Another major step we can take to protect ourselves regardless of how widespread these techniques become is simply to be aware of the weapons deployed against us. Jon Rappoport makes a salient point when he questions the ultimate effectiveness of electromagnetic mind control techniques on human beings: Essentially, dont live like a lab rat. Stay aware, be vigilant, and help empower others to develop a strong mind and a strong will that has harnessed the ability to remain free under any circumstances.
