Is the Military Developing Mind Reading Tech?

No, but It is pushing tech that can f*ck with your brain.

VN Alexander

In James Corbett’s recent article, “The Battle for Your Brain is ALREADY Underway,” he lists various DARPA-funded projects developing technologies that, allegedly, will soon be able to read and control your thoughts.

Researchers working in this field have been making such claims for decades now. Near the end of the article, Corbett poses the question of whether or not various DARPA press releases and research project publications might be part of a massive propaganda campaign:

It’s enough to make one wonder if the trumpeting of these neuroweapons is itself part of the infowar.”

That is an important point to consider.

Why would the military and tech developers want the public to believe that scientists are already able to implant false memories and to read minds? To get funding? Is the DARPA brain initiative just a giant grift project sucking up many billions of taxpayer dollars?

That’s very likely a big part of it. Corbett mentions the infamous Dr. James Giordano, whose job it is to secure funding for “mind control” projects. He comes off as a carnival hawker, trying to draw you into his freak show. And if you go into the tent, you will find none of what is promised. Corbett notices that Giordano’s presentations are “well-rehearsed patter” (what magicians say to distract you while they perform a sleight of hand) and that seems exactly right.

But other than financial greed, a more nefarious intention might be at play as well. Some folks over at DARPA seem to want soldiers, and civilians too, to be willing to submit themselves to neural experiments, so that the researchers can learn how to better confuse, disorient, disable, and maim people. It’s the military, after all. The raison d’être of a military is to destroy things. It does not seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge nor for the purpose of improving life.

Think about how the military handled the Covid epidemic. Lock down the people. Contain, fight, or go to war with the virus. No talk of treatments or cures or improving health.

I see no reason to believe that this DARPA-funded research does anything but extend the psychological torture and conditioning methods pioneered by Ivan Pavlov and B. F. Skinner.

The Military Cannot Produce Mind Reading Technology

Although brainwashing techniques can be improved and perfected with new technologies, there are no technologies that can be used to transfer digitized thoughts into or out of our heads. Although unethical researchers can lie to subjects and they can manipulate their feelings about memories, they will never be able to download or upload thoughts.

Even if researchers were seeking a better understanding of cognitive processes in order to covertly “read” terrorists’ minds, they won’t be able to do it. Even if researchers were interested in figuring out how to artificially put nice thoughts into people’s head, they can’t do it.

How can you be so sure? a number of my stack readers have asked. Isn’t most of the DARPA research classified?

  1. I have read a lot of the unclassified DARPA “mind control/reading” research, and the assumptions about what a thought process is and how to model it are wrong. We can assume that the classified research also works with the same incorrect model. According to DARPA, their Neural Engineering System Design seeks to translate the “electrochemical language used by neurons in the brain [into] the ones and zeroes that constitute information technology.” They are assuming that neural “language” is a linear sequence of neurons switching on and off. Neurons are not like computer switches. Neurons have multiple states and the language of neurons is more likely expressed by the dynamic shapes of emergent brains waves.
  2. Thoughts are semiotic processes. I work in Biosemiotics, the only field that formally investigates biological sign processes. Cognitive science doesn’t have a theory of semiosis. Neurology doesn’t have a theory about what a biological sign is or how meaning emerges from signs. Biology doesn’t even have a theory of signs and most biologists believe that their use of terms such as “chemical signal” and “cellular communication” are just metaphors for chemical processes that can be described reductively without appealing to concepts such as the “meaning” of a molecule in a signal pathway. In this issue of the Journal of Physiology, you can read about my biosemiotic approach to understanding how new meaning emerges in biological systems.
  3. The DARPA-funded “mind control” researchers adopt a computer science view of semiotics, assuming that it only involves symbols or codes, which are encrypted signs. The process of encryption is to arbitrarily connect one pattern to another. For example, in Morse code -.– . … stands for “yes.” Encrypted signs are artificially created by an external encryptor. Signs in biological processes are not artificial. They are created as relations within contexts given self-reinforcing selective effects. Biological signs emerge out of biological processes. Those who are trying to “decode” thoughts are working with a very simplistic and woefully incorrect conception of biological sign processes.

If it Could be Done, What Would Mind Reading Tech Involve?

If thoughts were codes or symbols (and they are not), in order to decrypt them, researchers would have to invent new safe technology (fMRIs are not safe for extended use) to get access to detailed 3-D maps of brain processes and be able to observe them in real time.

Then they would have to correlate those emergent patterns with individuals thoughts. This would require a computer-assisted training period, during which the subject tells the researcher what he is thinking while the researcher is recording the activity, digitizing the pattern and feeding it to a computer, which, theoretically, would then be able to categorize the different patterns according to what the subject described.

Alternatively, the researchers would present sensory information to the subject in order to try correlate the inputs with observed brain activity. The training for each kind of thought would have to be done over and over, so that the AI-assisted computer could form a map of the essential shape of that bioelectric pattern and identify it later. This lengthy process would have to be done with every different thought.

If researchers were to learn what kinds of thoughts correlate with specific brain wave activity in one individual, they would not be able generalize this information to other individuals. There is no universal brain wave code that is the same in all individuals. Furthermore, the brain is a very dynamic organ whose neurons are moving around and forming different connections all the time, such that the pattern learned one week one might change significantly a week later.

This is what happened with the Neuralink experiments on primates. The primate’s motor cortex pattern that was identified and linked to drawing a specific letter or number changed significantly after about five days. I reckon the human subjects with Neuralink implants have to continually retrain the AI assistant, which allows them to click and swipe, to keep it current.

What Can Current Technologies Do?

Most of the “mind-reading” technology projects involve procedures that insert some tools into the brain to pick up (a very limited amount of) neural activity. These tools are designed to detect when a neuron or a group of neurons has an electrical discharge. The tools then have to be able to amplify the discharge they’ve detected so that the researchers can receive that information.

Even though the emergent pattern created at another level by groups of cells cannot be inferred from the limited sample, researchers call this “reading the mind.”

In order for the researchers to “control the mind,” they have to be able to get the tool implanted in the brain to discharge electrical activity. This has been accomplished in several animal experiments. However, this procedure is only useful for getting subjects to feel fear, confusion, or pleasure. This procedure would not useful for getting subjects to think certain thoughts.

The field of optogenetics which uses light to detect and to affect neural activity is probably the most advanced method in the area of “mind reading” and “mind control” research. In his article, Corbett mentions optogenetics as well as “neural dust” technology that is activated by ultrasound. These technologies are concerning insofar as they seem like they could be deployed using stealth methods, through aerosols or injections and activated by remote sensors and emitters. The worry is that enemy forces could implant these mind reading and mind controlling devices without our consent or even knowledge.

And it is true that some DARPA contractors talk about doing this to the enemy du jour.

Using Light to Beam in Thoughts

But let’s briefly look at a paper on optogenetics scarily entitled, “Inception of a false memory by optogenetic manipulation of a hippocampal memory engram” by Liu et al. The authors claim to have been able to insert a false memory into a mouse brain. This was published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society Biology. That’s pretty much the top tier biology publication.

In this experiment, they first performed a new, rather elaborate, and really interesting, procedure to identify and tag the groups of neurons that are activated during an activity, and then they figured out how to stimulate those neurons with light. That’s what “optogenetic manipulation” in the title means. An “engram” just means the identified group of neurons associated with a memory.

They used a virus to selectively infect neurons with DNA from bacteria that produces a protein that is affected by light. Then they implanted fiber optics in order to get light into the brain to affect those genetically-altered cells that express the bacteria protein.

After getting these light-sensitive and light-making tools into the mouse brain, they then put the mouse in Cage A and it searched the cage. They were able to identify and tag the parts of the brain that were active during searching of Cage A. Then they put the mouse in a different kind of cage, Cage B, and they applied shock to the mouse’s feet, while at the same time activating the fiber optics to produce light to stimulate the area of its brain that was associated with the memory of Cage A.

Later, after they let the mouse rest, they put it back in Cage A, and it was fearful that it was going to be shocked. It froze. Even though it had never been shocked in Cage A, it had come to associate its memory of Cage A with being shocked in Cage B.

Despite what is claimed in the title, this isn’t implanting a false memory. The mouse has a real memory of being in Cage A. The researchers have simply caused a false association of that memory with something painful. This is classical conditioning. Extending Ivan Pavlov’s methods, they induced post traumatic stress disorder in the poor mouse.

But they could have traumatized the mouse without performing this elaborate set up. It is not necessary to manually stimulate the area of the brain to trigger a memory, if you have some other way to do that. If the experiment were being done on a person, for example, the researchers could have just mentioned Cage A or shown images of Cage A while shocking the subject to get similar results, perhaps.

Also, I note that the memory of Cage A is a spatial memory for the mouse, formed with the aid of motor skills and by activating motor neurons. I would guess that an “engram,” a physical map of a spatial memory, can be identified fairly easily. On the contrary, if a researcher wanted to create a false negative association about RFK Jr, say, in a human subject, it would be much more difficult to locate an “engram” of the subject’s memory or idea of RFK Jr in order to manually stimulate that memory while shocking the subject.

A researcher could, however, do a Clockwork Orange procedure on the subject easily enough to make him associate fear with something else. No genetically modified light sensing cells or implanted fiber optics would be needed.

When you get past the title of the paper or the headline of the article claiming some huge advance has been made toward being able to put thoughts in people’s heads or to read minds or whatever, the actual experimental results invariably report nothing of the sort.

Don’t Inhale the Neural Dust

Corbett mentions “Neural Dust,” a nano-device that can detect electrical discharges from neurons that was developed in 2016. The name makes the product sound, alarmingly, as if one might be able to inhale the technology. But, clicking on the link provided by Corbett, I found the device is not that small and should be called “Neural Rice” instead. The device is designed be surgically implanted in nerve tissue to detect activity.

A search of “Neural Dust” on the DARPA website did not return any further updates on the project. But searching elsewhere, I did find an article by K. Patch et al., “Neural dust swept up in latest leap for bioelectronic medicine,” which reports that Iota, the company that developed the technology, was purchased by Astellas, which hopes to use “Neural Dust” and another Iota product called “StimDust” which is “about the size of the date on a US penny” that can stimulate nerves, according to Piech et al., for the “purposes of both disease surveillance and therapeutic intervention” in central nervous system disease.

What makes these devices attractive is the fact they do not need a battery because they are activated by ultrasound. But sonic waves are currently being investigated for contributing to possible organ damage.

Let me say something about the importance of waves in biology. Biological cells communicate with each other by electrical discharge and releasing molecules into the surrounding fluid milieu, which react and diffuse in specific ways that cause specific wave patterns. It is the shape of these wave patterns that appropriately constrain the subsequent behaviors of the cells.

For example, it is well known that morphogenetic fields, which are active during development, give the shape and structure to the organism. Body plans are not encoded in the genome as such; they result from the constraining physics of reaction-diffusion processes. After maturity, cells continue to function and organize themselves using such constraints. Anything that disrupts communicating wave patterns—for example sonic waves or EMF waves or having two kinds of metals in the body, one positive, one negative—could potentially throw cellular communication out of whack.

Even without the wave disruption problem, inflammation will plague these grain-of-rice size devices. Any metal devices in the body can create allergies which manifest as brain fog, insomnia, and headaches—a very much under-explored cause of chronic illness. Further miniaturizing detector/stimulator devices probably won’t help. Nano-size particles may be even more of an irritant to biological cells.

Reading Thoughts Versus Reading Signals for Motor Control

In a previous essay, I have already critiqued the notion that tools such as Neuralink and other Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) allow people to control computers with their “thoughts.”

In his essay, Corbett mentions “mind controlled” weapons, but technically these should be called “motor control cortex controlled” devices.

These devices detect the electrical discharges going to muscles. They do not detect thought processes or the activity of the “mind.” No research has yet been able to identify the bioelectric pattern that is associated with any particular thought. No one has cracked a “thought code.” All “mind reading” experiments detect the subject trying to move fingers, vocal cords, or lips etc.

When we use the word “mind,” we usually mean the emergent consciousness of a person, his thoughts; we do not mean electric discharges going to muscles. The researchers working on “mind controlled weapons” are not trying to read soldiers thoughts; they are merely trying to reduce the amount of time it takes for a soldier to fire his weapon. Following Corbett’s link describing this research, I found that, according to Jacob Robinson, at Rice University, this is the problem they are trying to solve:

“There’s this latency, where if I want to communicate with my machine, I have to send a signal from my brain to move my fingers or move my mouth to make a verbal command, and this limits the speed at which I can interact with either a cyber system or physical system. So the thought is maybe we could improve that speed of interaction.”

This is consistent with what Elon Musk frequently says about the ultimate objectives of Neuralink technology. He merely wants to speed up the “download time” of “bits” from the motor cortex to a computer.

Sometimes the superior soldier is the one who is not quite so impulsive.

Defuse the Fear-Mongering

As Corbett notes, perhaps informing “the public about these technologies is itself a ploy, one designed to instill fear and panic in us…to make us afraid of the awesome abilities of the fearsome neurological weapons of the US forces.”

In order to effectively brainwash a subject, you must first make her very afraid. If I were unethical, I might prod your amygdala, get you all worked up with fears so that you would doom scroll to the very end of this article. Would that help me convince people not to believe the hype about mind reading technology? Would it help me convince the Joe Rogans of the world not to get neuralinked in order to keep pace with AI?

Those of us who are watching out for psyops want to warn people of dangers, but I think it’s important that we be clear about what the real dangers are.

None of the mind reading tech is able to read minds. It can be used for Pavlovian conditioning (associating one thing arbitrarily with another) and Skinner conditioning (using deprivation and reward to shape behaviors). I do not think it’s helpful to suggest that there is evidence that digitizing thoughts is possible. Accepting this also closes off the frightful possibility of merging AI and the brain.

Prompted by her own fear that the AI singularity is upon us, in her article “Weaponizing Reality: The Dawn of Neurowarfare,” Stavroula Pabst uncritically accepts the claims made in the headlines and thereby promotes the idea that the military will soon be employing this technology in warfare.

I looked through the research cited. My assessment is that DARPA is spending millions of dollars on research projects that shouldn’t have made it into a high school science fair. My guess is that due to a funding frenzy, some bigwigs’ pockets are being lined, while graduate students conduct meaningless research and publish it with provocative titles.

One experiment cited by Pabst is offered as proof that memory/learning from one rat can be directly transferred via wire to the brain of another rat. “A Brain-to-Brain Interface for Real-Time Sharing of Sensorimotor Information,” by Miguel Pais-Vieira et al. describes how two rats were put into separate Skinner boxes. Detection devices were implanted into M1 cortexes of the rats and connected to each other.

When the “encoder” rat pushed the correct lever (one of two) to get a reward, the electric discharge of that motor action was conveyed to the “decoder” rat. If the “decoder” rat subsequently pushed the correct lever, it was be rewarded.

Neural Dust is more the size of Neural Rice

However, the fact that the electrical pattern the “decoder” rat received was based on the pattern of another rat’s brain while it pushed a lever is completely irrelevant. The decoder rat could have received the rhythm of “Mary had a little Lamb” and the rat still would learned to hit the right lever if rewarded.

I have seen this experiment cited so many times as evidence of thought transfer technology.

Conclusions

Fear is used for brainwashing and propaganda. The military may not be able to read our thoughts through new technology, but they can very well train us like Pavlov’s dog and Skinner’s pigeons. The current technology offers new ways to do classical conditioning and associate positive or negative feelings with memories.

Why would they want to read our minds? The parasites at the top who are propagating this nonsense could not care less what we really think. They just want us to shut up and do as we are told.

“NEUROELECTRONICS AND NEUROTECHNOLOGIES OF THE FUTURE”
Nizhny Novgorod, November 25-29, 2024

Conference and school “Neuroelectronics and Neurotechnologies of the Future” grew out of the “Neurotechnologies and Neuroelectronics” section of the international conference “Volga Neuroscience Meeting” organized in Nizhny Novgorod and seeks to bring together two large scientific communities engaged in the creation of a new component base for neuroelectronics and information-computing systems based on the architecture and principles of brain functioning, on the one hand, and the direct study of the brain, its functions and the development of technologies for its restoration and enhancement, on the other hand. Such a convergence seems inevitable in the near future and will lead to qualitative technological breakthroughs in the creation of bio- and neurohybrid systems based on the artificial electronic and living biological systems symbiosis.

The conference will present future technologies for restoring and improving brain functions developed on the basis of:

– Novel scientific-technological approaches to the development of biosimilar nanomaterials (memristors) and the neuroelectronics element base

– Novel neuromorphic principles of information storage and processing

– Novel principles of neurosensorics and neurocontrol in biomorphic robotics.

Just briefly on Biosemiotics. One very strongly supported theory if that humans think in “language”, (particularly those with Aphantasia). If one’s language map could be well enough drawn up then that might provide all the Biosemiotic association needed for decoding.

This is all a continuation of the MK-ULTRA program. None of these nefarious operations are ever discarded they’re just rebranded.

The ghouls are more interested in providing illusionary realities rather than reading your thoughts. Sort of like the film “Ready Player One” where a “virtual reality” is your only one.

Perhaps, the creepos will use Elon’s Neuralink to trigger phantom existences. To put it simply, an individual can be permanently relegated to a small room but the implanted device makes them believe they’re traveling the world. 😁

You wake up in the morning and the first thing you grab is your Iphone/Smartphone.
On your job AM 8:00 o’clock your confront reality in your computer screen.

In the afternoon you teach people via a power point screen. In the evening you see reality in the TV screen, and you go to bed checking your Smartphone for news.

Your sense which should be focused on real nature, wind, sol, heat, noise, language, smell, odeur, movements, shifting landscapes, are instead focused on mixed fragments showing moment of reality, moments of fake reality and fantasy inside your different screens.

We should at least be able to agree that this is not healthy. Mental health, physical health. See?
We are here to connect us to the the first 3-dimensional cosmic model. Not the 2-dimensional IoT model.

From Joshua Stylman’s Substack:

MKULTRA: The Hidden Hand | Part 1 – The Laboratory

MKULTRA: The Hidden Hand | Part 2 – The Theater

MKULTRA: The Hidden Hand | Part 3 – The Network

Part 4 Upcoming

Note on Publication: This essay is published in four sequential parts. Each builds on the last while holding its own thematic focus. The complete work will examine the evolution of mind control from:
Part 1: The Laboratory – Historical Foundations of Mind Control
Where we explore a documented history most people have no idea about. It sounds absolutely insane, I know—but it’s all in the government’s own files. This foundation is crucial—if you don’t understand what actually happened in classified settings, the rest of this analysis simply won’t make sense.
Part 2: The Theater – Institutional Continuity and Cultural Integration
Where we connect these techniques to celebrity culture and entertainment. It’s cliché to say we live in a celebrity-obsessed world, but have you ever wondered if that’s natural? After all, this level of cultural fixation is a relatively new phenomenon. Is it entirely organic, or might we be witnessing the architecture of influence expressing itself through our most cherished icons?
Part 3: The Network – Technological Evolution
The real payoff—discovering how these systems scaled beyond labs and public figures to reach all of us. What once required force now operates through devices we voluntarily carry. We’ve all become willing participants in the greatest mind influence experiment in history.
Part 4: The Mirror – Philosophical Implications
Where we’re forced to reflect on what this means for human freedom and consciousness itself. If your perceptions can be engineered, what does autonomy even mean?

Erik Nielsen.
Erik Nielsen.
May 7, 2025 1:55 PM

To your last question: We can see engineered perception has a price in form of cancer, mental instability, dissatisfaction, superficiality, m.m.
But if people dont know the real, they become blinded their entire life in belief.
100 years ago a man could still sleep peacefully into death when his time had come.
Its rare today where most die from life style deceases.

The prevailing assumption is that you need to measure EEG or the brain directly. No one is funding studies of the biofield, which includes the ELF (0 – 30 Hz) electromagnetic field generated by the physical body. I have done some experiments in this area, and the ELF magnetic field 2-3 feet from the body is full of interesting information, like emotions, health, intent – and possibly thoughts.

Some years ago a book — “The Men That Stared At Goats” (Jon Ronson) — described various types of mind control programs that were active in the 1950s. This book was made into a movie and, as typical for such adaptations, was tweaked a bit to make it more of a story (and coincidentally to make it less credible) but the programs behind it were actually very real. (And very ineffective.) So I wouldn’t dismiss modern attempts to do similar things as a joke even if they sound ridiculous.

I’ve mentioned “A Man Called Intrepid” before. This is a biography of William Stephenson, a Canadian who headed up “the world’s first integrated intelligence operation”. As with similar material it was made into a movie or miniseries or something but I’d very strongly recommend reading the original book because a lot of the techniques and technologies were well ahead of their time and, like all WW2 programs that used creative but potentially unreliable people** was shut down in its original form but continued as highly classified programs in pursuit of the Cold War.

(**Think of Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project, Turing and the code breakers etc. Upon Victory a lot of these programs were either abruptly shut down or purged with the people involved threatened with dire consequences if they said anything about what they’d been doing but as we now know they never actually stopped, they just needed more reliable people who could do their job well and not ask irrelevant questions such as “Why?”.)

The precursor to all this neural nonsense was long ago discounted as meaningless. The Lie Detector can no longer be admitted in Court because of its notorious unreliability.

Too many extraneous factors impinge on even simple “Yes or No” questions. “Relax, clear your mind” is an invitation to endless neural activity – and the Courts have realized this. The only ones who can successfully negotiate a Lie Detector are psychotic monsters. I bet every DARPA scientists could pass a Lie Detector with flying colors.

Direct brain control for me isn’t there yet – so yeah its all about the funding to keep them in business and relatively cushy jobs, until they come up with something that is useful, not necessarily brain control – of course governments and MIC’s along with think tanks, want to develop a way to completely control their own domestic citizens way of thinking.

Mind reading and similar stories are necessary food for the biggest religion of our time, scientism.
Supposedly we are just few steps away to grab the god by the balls….we just have to follow scientism…yeah, sure. Even when it is actually about monkeying (trial&error without underlying theory based on knowledge).
They built impressive artificial brains (AI), they have a perfect laboratory environment to study what is going on in this “artificial mind”, still they don’t know much about what is going on inside AI. And they would like to hack biological brains.

“Why would they want to read our minds? The parasites at the top who are propagating this nonsense could not care less what we really think. They just want us to shut up and do as we are told.”

That’s just the opposite of James’ conclusion and he was right.

Yes – the signature pattern:
False claim of function
ie thescience as a framing narrative manipulation
of invested stakeholders (including vested identity via emotional reaction)
usurping true function (wholeness of being in thought and behaviour).
Loss, limit, disconnection from joy in life thus drive ‘getting’ from others and life.
The ‘getting’ runs on gain of fiction as boost of ‘function’
that is the permutations and derivatives of and arising from wishes, illusions or lies given power of protection, operate rules and filters of distortion in which life is sacrificed to ‘idol’, ideal, ideology or naked war for possession and control of the operating system.
Can a believer/subscriber entrain to a victimhood in which responsibility (for grievance) is projected exclusively to the ‘Other’?
IE: Are we at a deeper level of a creative mind that provides ‘strategic defence’ against exposure to greater fears than the perceived or believed cost of such defences?
If ‘seeing the emperor’s new robes’ is existential survival, then whatever those ‘appearances dictate’ can be anything- relative to the existing structure of ‘triggers’.

IE: The Room 101 was a black box into which our deepest fear is projected.
The post 101 experience is of the ‘solution’ to such an intolerable self-conflict.
Tech-extensions will personalise a fragmented mind-control – each to their own ‘management service’.

Orwell didn’t script yielding up a separate life for a greater love, but sketched out an endless irrevocable crucifiction. Trauma-continuity set irrevocably blind, evil, and ‘justified’.

The ‘intelligentsia’ often prepare the ground for the propagation of conflict-masking ‘solutions’. Perhaps because intellectual ability can so readily operate on active ignorance posing as superior knowledge. Engaging in story will imbibe the ‘memes’ being explored as a way of thinking and seeing – in common with others of the audience and thus the era.

It’s of course been proven that all physical torture accomplishes is making the victim say whatever he thinks his torturer wants to hear.

No, torture is never about the victim – it’s always about those who hear of the torture and become fearful lest they too end up in the hands of maniacs.

We are actually born with the capability of mind reading, thought transference, voluntary or involuntary. Some of us develop it (much?) more than others, by a potentially wide margin. Trying to make it happen by force, as practised by idiots who are not sufficiently aware of how all this works, or have not taken enough psychedelics to at least be capable of recognising the energy patterns which are the vehicles for these levels of activity can only make the subjects close down and/or flee.
Energy modules containing vast amounts or quite a lot of information, quanta of information all happening at once with accompanying sensory experience are ‘grokked’/ literally simultaneously transferred between resonating parties who can regulate their receptive frequencies, much in the way of radio but with no techno required.
Lovers often fall some way into this/these states by accident,

I don’t think ‘hear’ is the right word. It’s a different sense which you can analogise as hearing, but it’s more like a sort of feeling/whole body awareness plus hearing. A sort of ‘WAVE’ comes at you.
Electromagnetic frequencies can be quite visible. We just haven’t been taught that these things are possible, quite the reverse.
I worked with groups 24/7 1987-2003, and it just fell into place. We did specific focused dreamwork under my direction every day much more intensely than Carl Jung did. He describes what he did very clearly in his written work.

Why would they want to read our minds? The parasites at the top who are propagating this nonsense could not care less what we really think. 

If they could read our minds then they could control us more easily, knowing which psychological and emotional buttons to press to alter our behaviour.

Also, they would know when the useless eaters are getting restless and are about to rise up organically so that they can co-opt, lead the opposition and dissipate it.

Furthermore, billions are spent on advertising, propaganda and PR to shape public opinion and sell the public products. The use of the UK’s SPI-B and other nudge units during the Plandemic demonstrated that it was a psychological battle in which there was a desire to control the information sphere and to steer the public using psychological tools.

Lastly, movies and TV series often contain storylines about immortality or creating alternative realities using avatars eg ‘Ready Player One’ or through cloning eg Black Mirror episode ‘USS Callister’.

These themes often involve uploading the human consciousness into the cloud or merging it with AI. Not about physical immortality. Consciousness is the great unknown, or so we are led to believe. All of the experimentation could well be about harnessing and trapping it in some never ending loop. For example, Black Mirror episode ‘San Junipero’ sold it as benevolent ideal while the episode ‘Black Museum’ showed it as a nightmarish hellscape.

The BBC dystopian mini-series ‘Years and years’ also ran a storyline uploading a human mind to a water molecule based database although the consciousness issue was left open to debate.

Absolutely – they only “don’t care what we think” in a more limited sense. What brought down the USSR? Outward compliance masking internal dissent. The don’t want a rerun.

A method of control doesn’t even need an obvious utility like this one has. The dynamic of control is enough – “to be safely thus”…. A use can be found.

Corbett’s also been scathing of those doubting Virginia Giuffre’s alleged “suicide”. It’s “conspiro-tainment” to question it, according to him (hasn’t he increasing used gimmicky methods on his podcasts?). I’m not claiming to know what happened to Giuffre but it’s right to question the “suicide”, especially when it’s someone who was on record as stating she would not do so:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14668599/Virginia-Giuffres-grieving-father-says-no-way-committed-suicide-somebody-got-reveals-saw-picture-daughter-Prince-Andrew.html
Corbett’s “argument” is more an attempt at psychological manipulation than proper investigation. All his followers are serious intellectuals, not “conspiro-tainment” dupes. I wouldn’t deny there is “conspiro-tainment” but ‘Alex Jones or James Corbett?’ is a fake binary. There are other options – and they exist outside the very narrow circle of approved other sources Corbett recommends (a vice that seems oddly prevalent in the “independent media”).

A useful precis of the subject, thank you Dr Alexander.

It strikes me that they will never crack this problem, because they’re trying to measure or decipher a process or signal by measuring the effect of a process rather than the process it’s self, which at the level required, is llikely impossible to measure let alone control.

Studying plant biology in the context of RegenAg has crossed over into the biological processes of all life, the signals they’re trying to read are partly REDOX reactions. REDOX, or oxydation-reduction reactions, are chemical or electrical reactions that involve the transfer of electrons from one species (a cell or molecule) to another. These reactions appear to be both signalling processes, and processes involved in obtaining and transporting intra cellular nutrients.

REDOX is arguably much more imortant than pH in biology, the lack of general understanding of this subject is, IMO, one reason why the chemcial industry has been able to create a stranglehold on industrial scale farming. (Read the mamoth papers by Olivier Husson if interested REDOX in the context of plant biology, there’s also some interesting talks by him on youtube which are probably more accessible).

as usual with Off guardian it misses the point.

The very important point being. how many people have been nutted off? been given severe mental health diagnoses or psyche ward imprisonment, electro shock treatment for saying the TV or radio or mobile phone is listening to them?

(There was some silly repetition in the last comment, it should be like this:)

Corbett finishes his article, which you are discussing, like this:

We still have the ability to make up our own minds. To weigh information for ourselves and come to our own conclusions. To live as sovereign human beings, not transhuman cyborgs on the way to a “mind-computer symbiosis.”

So, while we still have the opportunity to think for ourselves, each of us can ask ourselves this question: “When Elon’s brain chip is available at my local Tesla dealer and everyone is getting it, will I be lining up to have them put it in my skull?”

For a hundred times I repeat (I will repeat it 100 more times in the future, then another hundred):

I think the very attitude towards technology will change dramatically in the next 10 years. Generations will be updated, for the new ones — the Internet is not a miracle, and smart watches are not a gadget. It’s all already part of their life as a shirt. It is not so important whether it will be embedded in the body or in clothes. Let’s look at the history of mankind, it has always experimented. It is difficult to say how inevitable the cyborgization of man is, but his merging with technology is indeed inevitable.

– year 2021, Alexander Chulok, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Director of the HSE [Higher School of Economics, Moscow] Center for Scientific and Technological Forecasting

from: “Technology is inevitable, whether we like it or not”, November 8, 2021
https ://novayagazeta-ru .turbopages.org/novayagazeta.ru/s/articles/2021/11/08/tekhnologii-neizbezhny-nraviatsia-oni-nam-ili-net

That is, no, you will not queue up for a voluntary chip, but your children or grandchildren (who are now 5, 10 or 15 years old), and even more those who are now born, and even more those who will be born in 10 years, will not only line up, but in case they not be able to get a chip (for some reason, if at all exist such) this will be the ultimate punishment for them. Because in their only reality, a person without a smartphone does not exist (this, for them, is like a person without some of his senses, and worse: as a person without a mind); the same will be with the “smart” chips – without drama, without coercion, without “their thoughts being controlled (by the state or corporations)” (no more than they are already controlled by their *democratic, non-totalitarian* smartphone reality of social network communication; another is the question of what all social-network-realities can be used for, what they can produce, which will be useful to those who create the means and environment of the advanced information-communication environment – they are not do it for nothing), simply the most friendly (and voluntary, with a sincere desire) rapprochement between people and technology, to a merger. “If/in case/when Elon’s brain chip is available in the local store”.

In other words, you’re going to die, and so am I. It may sound scandalous, but it is a fact. After a while we will die, and the younger will continue to live, the youngest – even more, after them come others.

So, what exactly is it that makes you — whoever you are — to think that the so-called new world order of the fourth industrial revolution after the great reset is for you?
Why do you think the people who build the future are building it for you, who will die after a while?

That’s a pretty brazen thought. How long do you think you’ll live, 150, 200 years? (It’s true that the Russian-Chilean Jew Alejandro Jodorovsky says he will live three hundred years because a person’s nails continue to grow after death, but, still?)

So do you really think that the Players who build a world under a new technological order planned without a deadline, for many millennia to come, are building it for you and thinking how to trick you into accepting this world?

Don’t you think they’re a little more likely to think about how to lie to or encourage not you, but your children and grandchildren to embrace this new world?

Well, your children and grandchildren are living at the beginning of this new techno-world, it’s their only world, and they’re looking forward to what the exciting hi-tech tomorrow will offer them.
Refuse all digital identifications and all forms of coercion or lure into the new hi-tech world, and your descendants will accept them all, all the new hi-tech world. Don’t you think? And the new world is for them, not for you.

Now I saw that Madame Alexander had responded to me to a comment on her website (finally, my God… I almost came out of the Egyptian wilderness and reached the promised land while waiting for the answer, the generations changed twice…). And there, in response to my accusation to her that she unreasonably rejects the possibility of the actual realization of the transhumanist plans, she says:

I am very belatedly responding to your two comments, one here, one on the post that came right before this one. I apologize. Essentially, both comments touch on the same issue: How do I know that transhumanists won’t/can’t succeed at merging man and machine and making an AI that will be more intelligent (while still being very like) humans?

What gives me the most confidence is the fact that these goals remain on ever on a receding horizon. If someone can point to evidence that they have already achieved their goals, even the first stage, please do. (It’s always any day now.) I will analyze that evidence in my next Posthumous Style Substack

I would credit myself for provoking the writing of this article. Why not? I even want some pay for my work, 10% of the got from the VN. How much did you pay her?

…Update: I no longer want this money. She has also responded (again with a centuries-long delay) to my other comment about her revelation that: “Academic fashions change and in the last several years, the same professors who had shamed me for dressing “like a prostitute” began to praise transwomen traipsing around in stilettos and pole-dancing for pre-schoolers.” She’s given me a picture from then:

Very good article, I’m keeping this one. Can’t help but say the whole thing made me think about Elon the wunderkind and his Big Find for DOGE about there being 400 million US citizens being paid by Social Security. Even for me, and I’m no wunderkind, taking a quick look at the details of the breakdown by age of individuals on the rolls, it was obvious to me he was going off of half of some database and not linking it up with other databases that interact with that one. A shining example to me was the 0-9 year old cohort of 45M or some such. OK, well yeah, every baby in the US is issued an SS number at birth, this hardly means they are being paid. I will give Trump some credit here as even early on after that big “find” he did utter that he hoped we weren’t actually paying all of those people…. Frustrating as hell to watch the hype on that, as no one seemed to make that very elementary connection at all.

Going off and hyping some thing, any thing, on half of the information; not factoring in all of the potential variables and simply picking and choosing with ones to use in your “model;” and then feeding your sensational “findings” to a dumbed down media that will parrot any bullshit for ratings and clicks. The way of our world now in too many ways. I’m relieved I guess is the only word, to understand that all their hype about mind control is hype. But sadly, particularly noticeable after the covidiocy, our owners only need a populace saturated by lies that has been taught over generations to believe the simplistic “explanations” that upon quick thought are not explanations at all, to get so many people to do exactly as they want. They never needed any of that to be real, all they need do was condition people to believe it was.

the really interesting question is the mystery as to why the notion of telepathy seems so plausible and is so universal

I suppose it might be an imaginative extrapolation of the language faculty, which in its way permits a sort of thought transmission over distance

but of course language doesn’t really carry our messages, it’s just a highly flawed system for inviting others to guess what we might want them to do, what physical or mental activity we expect from them

the other widely prevalent phenomenon that could trigger ideas about mind reading and mind control, perhaps, is psychological pathology, manifesting with symptoms of identity fragmentation and dissociation from internal cognitive processes, which get attributed instead to outside agents like demons, mutants or high-tech extraterrestrials

our identities anyway are pretty fragile bubbles, always subject to penetration and reshaping by subconscious forces that transcend our individual histories and bind us to a species or planetary memory, and hence indirectly to other people also in contact with these forces that their brains likewise harbor

In your opinion, all the noise about trying to achieve neurotechnologies that actually interact with human thoughts (and, accordingly, later on, “merging AI with the brain”) is nothing more than a hype, most likely for the purpose of monumental draining of tax money (in the case of DARPA and other state-funded projects) or the money of naive rich people (in the case of private laboratories, companies, researchers); and also to scare people, because “Fear is used to brainwashing and propaganda”. Not a major end (or intermediate) goal of something like the notorious Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is why big fish are said to have started the notorious “great reset” activated though the “Covid” plandemic? Was it actually a plandemic, in your opinion? As you say:

Think about how the military handled the Covid epidemic. Lock down the people. Contain, fight, or go to war with the virus. No talk of treatments or cures or improving health.

The fact that you accept the existence of a real “Covid epidemic” (and “virus”), which, as you say, instead of “treatments, cures or health improvement,” the military has “dealt with” by “containment, combat and war,” says something about what you consider real and what is unreal.

The hype is necessary to get us plebs to accept AI as a superior digital version of human thought that will “know us better than we know ourselves,” according to YNH, and so that we accept our digital avatar as our decider.

But, as I have argued previously, it is also true that many among the 4IR set actually believe this stuff. They think they will upload their codes to the cloud and live forever.

I think viruses and exosomes are probably related; they are bits of DNA or RNA in lipid or protein capsids. They can do damage to cells if they get inside and they are later excreted from the body. They also can function as signals among cells. They have probably been significant in horizontal gene transfer, increasing the speed and scope of adaptive evolution. They can be natural or synthetic.

If this a purity test, fail because I think particles carrying bits of genetic material exist.

Who to get to accept it? Who “us plebs”? The people, plebs in general? Or not us, those who are adults, for example those over 40-45, but those for whom it is intended to accept what you say: the young, the youngest and, above all, the future people – the inhabitants of the future world (who are not us, who are adults and will not live in the future world)? They’ve already accepted it.

Isn’t this future in under construction and will take on a more complete appearance (according to the wishes of the power) in 20 years, and even more complete after 30, 40 years? So, who is this world for? Which people should be get to accept it? Aren’t they the ones who will be active inhabitants of this world, who are the younger and the youngest? Well, they have accepted it and are in voluntary expectation with the greatest desire of more and more.

Well, they have accepted it and are in voluntary expectation with the greatest desire for more and more. They should not be made to accept this because it is already their world; the ones who should be made to accept it are us, the elderly, for example, all of us who grew up in the pre-digital era, before laptops and smartphones, social networks, WEB2, WEB3; but we are not the ones who should be made to, because we will not live in this future world, but the young ones who should not be made to accept it because they have already accepted it.

Let us bear this in mind ever when we talk about the approaches of power to “us, the people/plebs”.

If this a purity test, fail because I think particles carrying bits of genetic material exist.

Do I test you for belief/disbelief in the existence of viruses? Is that what you’re asking? lol No, I don’t do tests like that. Besides, I’m not from “people without viruses.” I know that in the living life in which people live – and not in hypotheses and in “show me proof of isolation according to Koch’s postulates” – the phrase “the child brought home something from kindergarten/elementary school/high school” can compete for one of the top 10 most used phrases. Because that’s what children do: they bring something, and then some of the residents of their homes take that thing and acquire the condition of the child who brought the thing. It happens all the time, all over the world. I don’t need isolate according to Koch’s postulates or any other evidence. I myself was one of the kids who carried the most things at home, piles of things, constantly, almost all autumn and winter I took something from the children in kindergarten and school and carried it home (and my sister did not want to take it). You have no idea what a horror it was…

I have no idea what it is, what the principle of transmission is and whether it is fully proven or there is not a single proof – this is something that happened to me all autumn and winter, and then it continued to happen (less often, because my body grew and strengthened, and I learned to watch for sneezing and other symptoms and to be careful).

And that’s why, if there was a “Covid epidemic,” I would be the first to take this “covid virus” thing, I would be the zero patient for my region, or at least in the top five. But — guess what — I didn’t get anything all the time during the “pandemic,” despite my numerous contacts. If there was something, especially highly contagious (though low-lethal), that was going around everywhere, there’s no way I wouldn’t get it. But not.

2020 there was nothing. There was a planned theatrical epidemic with a purpose. There was this:

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr Schwab, dear Klaus,

“Hopes that it will be possible to reboot the old growth model are connected with rapid technological development. Indeed, during the past 20 years we have created a foundation for the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution based on the wide use of AI and automation and robotics. The coronavirus pandemic has greatly accelerated such projects and their implementation.

Theoretically, it fits well with the down timeline of the photos you’ve already seen (maybe “I see patterns in chaos”, lol). While, in the upper timeline, 2025 we enter the germ of the “Rise of Neuronet/web”. 2024 had the noisy widely popular neralink implantation, as well as the organized Right rise of the top conservative and the loudest influencer of the “fusion between AI and man”, Elon. (Do they move things in stages? 2020 “Covid epidemic”… by the way, look how interesting that 2022 “The war/invasion/Russian struggle against the evil West in Ukraine” replaced the “epidemic”. Because the maps are from the Russian initiative Neuronet, launched by Putin in 2014.) Is it too much? Let’s see how 2025 will go and how it will develop or not by 2035 (in terms of the projected stage).

“They can do damage to cells if they get inside”

The prevailing story is that exosomes are produced within the cell, specifically through the endosomal pathway.

Which theory do you refer to which describes a problem of them “getting inside”.

Bits of genetic material contained within a capsid can do damage if it gets inside a cell. I’m comparing viruses to exosomes (there are neural exosomes even have protein capsids), which may have a similar origin. I am trying to head off the “viruses don’t exist” argument which also says that viruses are just cellular debris.

“I think viruses and exosomes are probably related”

Exosomes were also originally imagined to be cellular debris.

Do you also think that viruses are created within the cell, specifically through the endosomal pathway.

What I have heard is that the virus concept is any foreign element not belonging in the body, why the body react to get it kicked out again.

The reason to avoid paying compensation for the many either chemical influence from the industry or from the medics side defects made by big pharma. Virus Definition!

Yes , during and since the lockdown era very many commentators were adamant in promoting the idea that the masses are controlled, in the main, through “softpower” , (basically psychological or brain manipulation of any kind) and this is why the regime could getaway with it’s COVID event.

In fact there were huge protests/marches and at the time the masses were aware of the assault.

The problem and true means of population control, was that the regime unleashed extreme and coordinated violence against the population.

It was through fear( not some advanced technological neurological device) based on the threat of, promotion of and actual harm from the regimes brute squad that the ‘elites’ get what they want.

Violence and control is all they (the state) is or has to offer.

The thing is that these human controllers are also controlled, be it by non physical – astral forces that were labeled as devils / asuras / jinni etc. They can change their appearance, not their flaws.
The bigger joke is that these fallen angles are fighting a losing wrestle match with a new positive force that emerged in the 1950’s. Mind you, the negatives still have a role to play in places like the EU, Canada or Australia where the majority of the population needs to be woken up, as COV2 or CO2 weren’t enough COntrol apparently. Maybe RussiaV3 does it?

I am reminded of this craze in movies not too long ago where you can “upload” your mind into, oh, I don’t know, a robot? another human being? a computer disc? Whatever. And I heard all sorts of working class people around me marveling over it. They actually believed it was possible. I mean, if it’s in a movie, who knows?!

And then there was cloning. The riff goes that they can clone you and that clone will be you.

I am here to announce, once and for all, that they will never, not in a million years, be able to “upload” your brain anywhere. And they will not be able to make a clone of you that has your brain in it.

Moreover. Even if they could “upload” the contents of your brain somewhere else–that upload would not be you. You would be you and the upload would be the upload. The clone would be the clone–and not you.

And so–no immortality. At least not the upload way. Uplloading brains is just some cheap cheesy hollywood sf riff that drug-addled infant hollywood writers turn to when they are forced to write another dumbass low-production-values sf movie.

This is so obvious. But I have to repeat it over and over again to these people who watch movies. It’s an uphill battle. They don’t even quite understand the simple thing I am saying, the movies have them so confused.

The naivety of working-class plebeians conquered by pathetic hollywood fiction. Clear. We must inform all those – many people and organizations (including countries, including poorer ones, such as Russia) – who persevere in achieving this brain-computer hollywood fiction to grow up and stop the nonsense.

In the film Matrix the One and the Filthy Few do upload his/there brain to the AI system, close his eyes and move around in the spiritual world, and do wonders against the bad guys.
“Why do you continue to resist Mr.Anderson, why, why WHY? Is it love, is it something called freedom, what is it Mr. Anderson? Why?? “Because I choose!”

Its a choice! The One made a choice. Free will! We can choose to upload our brains to Matrix and fight it from within, and win. We are winners over the bad guys in Matrix!

Thats why I believe in Mr. Anderson, I believe in Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, James Bond, and all the good guys. Why? Because I choose to believe in the good guys.

And I was right in my bet, because they won because they were smarter than the freaks. Call me a Hollywood freak all you want.
