The Means and Methods to your Mind
The Means and Methods to your Mind

A recent article featured on the BBC web page today concerning “Phorm”, a new advertising search engine aimed at targeting advertisements based on search habits rather than content raises questions and concerns about internet privacy and legality. The new service tracks web users searches and targets advertisements based on interests that they have. It redirects users through it’s service. It’s hopes are to compete with Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.
The company says that it allows the website owner to make more money and enable the smaller websites to obtain traffic and advertising revenue. The tracking of your web searching, otherwise known as micro-profiling is being practiced by all of the large search engines. While larger companies may balk at this new service, smaller websites caught in the mire of the massiveness and obscurity created by so many users of the internet may be a welcome opportunity for those with niche markets.
None of this however, takes into account the new means and methods to your mind. Technology has advanced so rapidly in the past few years that it is now possible to market directly to a human brain. What will happen when these search engines begin profiling your mind? In other words, your thoughts may lead to direct brain advertising. And it’s not far into the future. It is happening already.
The Federation of American Scientists’ blog and research project into Government Secrecy by Steven Aftergood has been tracking the secrecy issues surrounding the U.S. Government. A lack of information and disclosure by various U.S. Government agencies concerning “new means and methods” has everybody wondering… what are they hiding? Well, for one thing, the lethality of these so called “non-lethal” weapons used for mind control. It’s a little known and not very well understood telemedicine capability involving software, hardware, brain and body implants. The terminology concerns the use of these with remote “haptics”, or the ability to touch a person through the airwaves. A new world of wireless warfare is at hand.
Originally designed to jump start a person’s heart during a heart attack by accessing their condition and sending signals to their pacemaker, these capabilities are just as vulnerable to hacking and profiling as your computer or cell phone. In fact, they use the same means and methods of delivery as the information that you receive on your screens. These technologies can access your internal organs as well as your skin. It is now possible to “send” smells, tastes, and sensations directly to your brain. Clearly, the potential for abuse is widespread with the integration of network systems. Imagine storing the sensations of a person burned to death in a fire and sending it to your friends by accident. They would experience the REAL sensations as though it were happening to them, yet there would be no evidence of their pain and suffering. Instead, they have no recourse for justice, a U.S. Constitutional right.
Governments are not immune to it either. Soldiers and children alike are now grouped into one big blob of GPS addresses. The frightening part is that these addresses are written on tiny little chips that are no larger than the sharp tip of a good pencil. It can be embedded in your clothing, your groceries, your electronics and your body. The smart cards and security initiatives of passports, drivers licenses and mail just give more people more ways to find you… and your children. It’s what happens when they find you and who they are that is so important these days. Anonymity on the internet has it’s place for privacy of the user but what about the privacy of an anonymous users’ victims?
While budgets and abuses of the FBI and it’s Infraguard program are coming to light in the wake of complaints by victims of companies who are subcontracted to the FBI, the ability of these companies to move from one secret U.S. Government program to another in order to “hide” their activities has become a concern. So has the “hiding” and/or erasing of records. Are these records true or false? Are they evidence of subcontractor company abuses on the public? Who created the records and how are they indexed? Is it possible to “falsify” a persons’ thoughts?
Wireless technology in the form of Wi-Fi and Wi-Max is just now becoming worldwide in distribution. That means that everyone in the world will be accessible. Unfortunately, the health concerns are being completely overlooked. A recent study into the effects of wireless technology causing autism was squashed by articles everywhere that provided no links to the original study that showed clear evidence of wireless radiation and it’s effect of concentrating toxin producing heavy metals such as mercury and uranium in brain cells. After a period of protection from wireless radiation, there was marked improvement in the subjects studied in terms of their cognitive skills.
In fact, as opposed to treating the subject as a communications technology issue, people subjected to abuse and access are termed “mentally ill” and sent into facilities for evaluations and put on drugs and surveillance. To further complicate the issue, the U.S. Government has DOD security sharing arrangements with countries such as Japan. Recent wireless spectrum auctions and plans for HDTV transitions all involve the potential for access to your brain. Companies and consumers are penalized if they do NOT buy foreign manufactured electronic equipment due to laws involving immunity from prosecution for companies such as AT&T, Verizon. Bechtel and others. No-one can (or wants to) take responsibility for the safety of the consumers and the public. Ironically, this is the Presidents’ responsibility, one which he cannot exercise without correct information systematically being destroyed by secretive subcontractors.
Oddly, some of the worst abuses may have been perpetrated by subcontractors to the DOE. In addition to secret underground bases, they have a program to “test the endurance” of people via wireless technology. Anyone who has ever been a victim of “electronic harrassment” will tell you that the abuse was severe. Stories of torture via remote are all over the internet if you know where to find them. Services like “Phorm” may be finding them for you.
It is of concern to citizens everywhere, the ability to produce the reality of “water boarding” and “heart attacks” via remote wireless access. It is time to stop this “cabal” before a new “telemafia” emerges to destroy people in mass numbers. The recent attack on epilepsy patients who were “frozen” in place at the same time in different locations is an example of multiple massively parallel online gaming (MMPOG) taken to a new level. Ages also, will be difficult to control. A joystick in the hands of a 4 year old playing a game or a terrorist is only a matter of data and what happens to it. Furthermore, without “auto law”, who is going to protect your mind from perverts? The NSA? India?
All of these concerns and questions need to be brought into the discussion about the future evolution of these technologies… and what they mean for people everywhere. We are all experiencing the development of “big brother” and Orwellian thought control. Do we have privacy to protect or is it a matter of preventing our privacy from being eroded by surveillance? This is the debate over the next decade and beyond. We cannot afford to make a mistake. Reality and virtual reality must be a factor in the decisions about the future of planet earth.
