Future neuro-cognitive warfare

[David Guyatt]

I've just read the FAS Future Warfare slideshow.

I have to say that the new Frankenstein’s dream of future weapons in their depth and scope are truly frightening.

Under the Bio Revolution heading:

Spider genes in goats allow spider silk spining from goats milk for “Biosteel” 3.5x strength of aramid fibers for armour.

Under the New Sensors heading:

Sensors implanted during Manuf (acturing) / Servicing.

Under “Some Sensor Swarms” heading:

“Smart dust” floats in air currents for up to 2 years.

“Nanotags” placed on everything everywhere.

Identification and status info.

Co-opted insects.

Under “Some Interesting ‘Then Year’ BW possibilities:

Aflatoxin - “natural” parts-per-billion carcinogen.

Binary agents distributed via imported products (vitamins, clothing, food).

Genomicaly (individual/societal) targeted pathogens.

It is far from being a complete list of the abominations in store for us.

PS, account set up.

On that note, I have to go rassle up some grub for the tribe.

[David Guyatt]

Thanks muchly ED (and for the plug mokin.

These days my thoughts entertain (but are not amused by) the possibility of what we might call "collective messaging" via manipulation of the collective unconscious. Many of the things I read about the bio-cyber robotic warfare concept seem to point towards the possibility of this being a deep black warfare R & D project or projects.

[Ed Jewett]

David, my studies of the cognitive sciences are incomplete, but they are complete enough to recognize what you postulate as dictatorship and totalitarianism of the worst sort, possibly beyond anything envisioned by Orwell. Quite literally, they would be dictating our attitudes, behaviors and actions subliminally outside our awareness. If they achieve functionality at that level, we are theirs, and/or we have no choice but to dismantle the machinery, and/or strengthen our own minds to be able (if possible) to withstand the onslaught.

I am in league with those who think this particular topic/threat/antidote to be of the highest priority.

[David Guyatt]

It is an abysmal possibility. So as to be clear Ed, I am hypothesizing the possibility. It is not certain nor is it clear. And I may be entirely wrong to look in this direction. But my thoughts turn to all sorts of matters I have read over the years and a sort of un-clarified fudge of an idea arises. By this I mean that all sorts of elitist power groups over the decades have been - and continue to be - fascinated with the occult. And I wonder why.

Occult realms are the Collective Unconscious by another definition. What is the purpose of occult rituals but to make an impact on the Unconscious? Historically, this usually - or at least often - had the loftiest ideals of inducing greater consciousness, and therefore greater personal knowledge and understanding, to the initiate. But the darker aspects of these arts was directed towards gaining power - which always is accompanied with the trappings of wealth and privilege.

But even when we are not discussing occult matters directly, we can see that nowadays the spychiatrists take the work of Jung, Adler, Freud etc and deeply delve into that in order to weaponize man against himself.

So far as I can see the only way to avoid this possibility is to gain greater consciousness and the only way to achieve this noble goal is to confront one's own personal shadow, as shown by Jung. Because it is the shadow complex that talks each of us into doing the things we would not otherwise do.

There is a very insightful film staring Jason Statham called Revolver that depicts this very cleverly.

Apologies for rambling on a bit, but it is an important topic and one that is very undervalued.

[Jan Klimkowski]

Because this science is covert, deep black, and often sub-contracted, it is very difficult to get an accurate sense of quite how advanced it is.

My own sense is that the strongest evidence that a breakthrough has been made is when funding for the visible, peer-reviewed, area of science effectively vanishes, and the established foundations, the building blocks of the basic science, are rubbished in MSM or forgotten. Discarded as a historical anomaly.

A classic example of this is research into hypnosis. There was a very strong basic science by the start of WW2. Hypnosis was then weaponized, and used in intelligence operations during that conflict. Much of the visible post-WW2 research was conducted by private individuals, such as therapists, whilst hypnosis itself was reduced to a circus act by MSM.

I have personally interviewed three men who were employed by either the British or American military in the 80s and 90s to use hypnotic techniques in covert ops - both at the operational and debriefing stage - but who were officially described as "psychiatrists". I have no doubt that hypnosis is an incredibly powerful, and much used, tool for achieving certain military or political ends.

Running against this is my judgement that much covert or deep black science is inherently of poor quality or, even, junk. This is precisely because of its secret, constricted nature: lacking peer review, lacking proper clinical trial methodology. Investigations of deep black science suggests that there is usually little or nothing to prevent the "scientists" performing the experiments totally falsifying their results.

In other words, an "MK-ULTRA" research finding may be as close to reality as an Enron or Lehman Bros balance sheet.

When we're dealing with attempts to weaponize the unconscious, often using ancient ritual or occult techniques dragged - kicking and screaming - through a crude scientific perspective, such as behaviourism, or our current understanding of brain function at the neuronal level, then my suspicion is that the experiments will be failures with a huge human cost.

However, some deep black research clearly has been successful.

As a final thought, in my BBC days, I was once allowed to witness some extreme animal experimentation under covert US military funding, performed under the leadership of a genuinely world class scientist. Unlike the haphazard way in which I suspect much deep black science is performed, this was of very high quality in its methodology and execution.

The experiments were based on a particular insight into a potential mechanism dimly visible in, perhaps, half-a-dozen peer reviewed journal papers published over five decades. The first clinical observations, upon which the entire hypothesis being tested was based, were made by a Soviet doctor on the Eastern front as the Red Army was engaged in brutal and bloody battle with the Nazis.

By 1997, that particular area of deep black science was at least 15 years ahead of what was being published in orthodox peer-reviewed medical journals. Possibly more.

I have not yet seen elements of the research, which would have civilian as well as military applications, published in contemporary medical literature.

Which leads to two possible conclusions: the research failed; the research succeeded, and is being kept deep black.

[David Guyatt]

Yes, I can see that it could prove to be very difficult for Uncle’s trained scientists to perform well in these circumstaces. One of the problems they would face is their own scientific discipline and training, for the prevailing laws of that other Realm are completely different to the governing laws of here and now. Trying to apply one set of laws to an entirely different “other” would be fairly futile I think.

What I had in my mind in the previous posts above can best inadequately demonstrated by linking a number of disparate issues and inviting you gentlemen to join the dots.

Firstly post nos 17 and 18 HERE, HERE and HERE

I once read a factual book (yes!) on soccer hooliganism, circa 1990 (ish?). Subsequent films have elaborated on the theme of the book which focused on rival gangs of football supporters arranging right royal punch ups after selected games. But what was more interesting still was an occasion when the various team gangs joined forces to travel overseas - I think it was Italy - to support England. It was known in advance that it would "kick off" between the two rival groups of supporters, but the English team had a small posse of young boys, 10, 11 and 12 who acted as a most curious group of stage managers. By this I mean that they sensed the build up of the atmosphere and kept the England mob back from rushing headlong into the Italian supporters until the tension had built up to an agonizing almost unendurable level - where people were literally twitching like unearthed lightening. At the right point the young boys gave the nod for the punch up to begin, thus releasing the hordes against each other. Young children are, of course, usually far more sensitive to atmospheres than most adults.

Interesting phenomena eh.

Experiment Allows Scientists to Identify Which of Three Seven Second Video Clips Test Subjects Are Thinking About

March 15th, 2010

Thought reading machine?
You definitely wouldn’t know it from reading many of the headlines that have been written about this story, but the answer is no, it’s not a thought reading machine. Eleanor Maguire, one of the researchers, said, “We are not at the point of being able to put people in a scanner and read their thoughts.”
On a more mundane level, I haven’t been able to glean from reports if they are able to train their algorithm on one or more subjects and then use it effectively on other subjects. If that’s the case, the news is more interesting than if identifying the stimuli requires the system to be trained on a per individual basis. This article mentions “similarities” between the scans of different participants.
Thankfully, any Legion of Doom thought reading device remains safely in the maybe-in-twenty-years box for now—along with the personal teleporter and the Mr. Fusion.
Although, even after twenty years, I doubt that the Legion of Doom will have a brain scanner that’s more effective at determining what people are thinking than what’s already available by monitoring activity on Google, Facebook and the myriad other online services that have convinced increasing numbers of people to turn their brains inside out in order to think inside the machine… Oh, wait… *chuckle*


Via: Independent:
For the study, 10 volunteers were shown three short film clips, lasting seven seconds each. They showed different actresses performing three tasks – posting a letter, throwing a coffee cup in a bin, and getting on a bike. The volunteers were then placed in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner and asked to recall each clip in turn. This was repeated many times and the scans were analysed to detect patterns in the brain activity associated with each clip. In the final stage of the experiment the volunteers were returned to the scanner and asked to recall the clips at random. The researchers found they were able to tell which clip they were thinking about from the pattern of their brain activity.
Although patterns in individual volunteers’ brains varied from one another, they showed remarkable similarities in the parts of the hippocampus that were active. The findings are published in Current Biology. “We have documented for the first time that traces of individual rich episodic memories are detectable and distinguishable in the hippocampus. Now that we have shown it is possible to directly access information about individual episodic memories in vivo and noninvasively, this offers new opportunities to examine important properties of episodic memory,” the researchers conclude.

[David Guyatt]

Interestingly, the BBC World Service ran a short news clip during the sage of Waco that suggested the US government deployed a machine that could read David Koresh's mind. The technology was Soviet in design. From the screen shots of the of the machine operating, various words appeared, blinked and were replaced by others. Quite what this meant I didn't and still don't know. However, I do know that one of the words was "alien". It struck me as very curious at the time.

Soviet mind control technology was brought to the US in the early mid 1990's, as reported in Defense News.

This is the most basic of basic science. In terms of creating an alphabet of brain function, this is the little 'a' of that alphabet, not even the capital 'A'.

Fifteen years ago, I helped make a BBC Science documentary on synaesthesia. A typical synaesthete might see musical notes as colours, as well as hearing them, with each note having its own unique colour shade.

The poet Rimbaud, the painter Kandinsky, and the writers Vladimir and Dmitri Nabokov were all synaesthetes.

Anyway, fifteen years ago, we filmed an experiment where synaesthetes were examined in an fMRI scanner whilst music was played. Areas of both auditory cortex and the colour part (V4) of visual cortex lit up in synaesthetes, whilst V4 did not light up in control non-synaesthetes. This strongly suggests that synaesthetes genuinely see music in colour. It is not delusion or hallucination. Seeing the colour is as real an experience for a synaesthete as hearing the sound would be for all but the deaf.

It is clear, though, that the neural pathways of each synaesthete are as individual as the colours they see. Middle C may be blue for one synaesthete and red for another. However, Middle C will always be the same colour for each synaesthete.

This is all intriguing.

However, at the medical level, this most basic understanding of broad brain function (ie both auditory and V4 visual cortex light up in an fMRI scanner for a synaesthete exposed to certain sounds) does not enable synaesthesia to be programmed by a mad scientist.

Indeed, if a scientiist was allowed uncontrolled access to a dozen children, with no ethical barriers, with the aim of creating synaesthetes, I suspect that scientist would have great difficulty, and any success would be non-repeatable in terms of result.

Medical knowledge of the brain, at the physical, neuronal level, is still incredibly basic.
