Police State Of Mind Everything you know could be wrong little more than
re-constructed memories planted by government mind-control programmes.
David Guyatt traces the history of thought control experiments and the
technology that might shape a future psycho-civilised society.
The Pentagon's crew-cut communication commandos say that
less-than-lethal (LTL) weapons won't kill you, but what they don't
tell you is that their new-age, high-tech, armoury has been secretly
honed to mind-boggling efficacy and it is your mind that's been
scheduled for boggling.
Your future shot of non-lethal Novocain might be an electromagnetic
field that cocoons your every thought and inserts an inaudible
'command' message directly into your unconscious. The whole caboodle
has been lovingly designed to re-programme the way you think and
even what you think. Alternatively, at the flip of a switch you might
be turned off altogether.
Thought can be controlled remotely. There's no need to
attach wires or electrodes. Nowadays, the spooks of Langley, Fort
George Meade and elsewhere, can hack straight into your brain. This
might sound like the rabid fantasising of an X-Files fruitcake, but
the technology is out there and so is the will to use it.
In 1996, the US Air Force Scientific Advisory Board
published a 14-volume study of future developments in weapons called
New World Vistas. Tucked away on page 89 of an ancillary 15th volume
are some hair-raising insights into the future 'coupling' of man and
machine in a section dealing with 'Biological Process Control'. The
author refers to an 'explosion' of knowledge in the field of
neuroscience, adding, ominously: "One can envision the development of
electromagnetic energy sources, the output of which can be pulsed,
shaped, and focused, that can couple with the human body in a fashion
that will allow one to prevent voluntary muscular movements, control
emotions (and thus actions), produce sleep, transmit suggestions,
interfere with both short-term and long-term memory, produce
an experience set, and delete an experience set."1 Translating the
words 'experience set' from military jargon into plain English, this
means, simply, that they envisage the ability to erase your life's
memories and substitute a new, fictitious set.
There is some debate whether these mind-weapons are not
already in 'low profile' service. By projecting such developments into
the future, the authors of New Vistas might be camouflaging present
day capabilities. A similar futuristic scenario with many references
to mind manipulation is described in The Revolution in Military
Affairs and Conflict Short of
War(US Army War College, 1994). Authors Steven Metz and James Kievit
declare: "Behaviour modification is a key component of peace
enforcement" and "The advantage of [using] directed energy systems is
deniability." Savvy individuals, the authors ask: "Against whom is
such deniability aimed?" The direct answer is "the American people".
So much for 'open government'.
Set in the year 2010, Metz and Kievit write of
"perception moulding" and "advanced psycho-technologies" to avoid
irksome public protest, but that is just the beginning. The major
obstacle, they believe, is that "traditional American ethics [are] a
major hindrance," and thus, sadly "old-fashioned notions of personal
privacy and national sovereignty [are to be] changed."
Individuals unwilling to go along with the revolutionary
changes are "identified using comprehensive inter-agency integrated
databases." They will then be "catergorized" and "sophisticated
computerized personality
simulations" will be used "to develop, tailor and focus psychological
campaigns for [ie. against] each."
Other techniques to be used in association with these
new mind weapons, including 'morphing' a present-day ability that
controls the distortion of TV images.8 So, if you are lucky enough not
to have your brains electronically scrambled or erased the
electronic news media will be manipulated especially for you,
presenting convincing near-real-life visual
images through your combined TV set-cum-internet interface.
While these new-age Da Vinci's continue to create their
speckled visions of our future, we should ask some hard question now;
specifically: "Is this technology just a futuristic dream or is it
here today?"
