DARPA Wants to Install Transcranial Ultrasonic Mind Control Devices in Soldiers' Helmets | |
| Thoughts Faux Fodder Offer Upgrade  User ID: 1088934  United States09/09/2010 09:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Standard Issue Mind Control DARPA wants ultrasound-enhanced helmets that allow soldiers to stimulate certain regions of their brains. DARPA has been trying to crawl inside the minds of soldiers for a while now, but a new ultrasound technology could let them get deeper inside than ever. Working under a DARPA grant, a researcher at Arizona State is developing transcranial pulsed ultrasound technology that could be implanted in troops’ battle helmets, allowing soldiers to manipulate brain functions to boost alertness, relieve stress, or even reduce the effects of traumatic brain injury.

If we were not attempting to fight all these illegal wars, or troops would not even need such things. The mind control is needed to produce amnesia to protect the troop's memories so that he doesn't overload and burn out do to guilty over doing things he knows are total bullshit and fully illegal and immoral. Most Mind Control is more about producing amnesia after being conned into doing something you just knew damned good and well you shouldn't have been doing. Coming to a brain near you.. VERY NEAR... soon. |

Now, instead of, "just look into the light" (MIB Neuralizer) it will be ... "ya just gotta hear this tune, here put this helmet on." |

In the darker of my thoughts i can see these being used exactly as described, as tools to dehumanize troops to the point of accepting any potential orders.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1093911This goes way beyond boundary issues and is mind control. i agree, but i'm not sure what rights one retains when you join the military?

"ya just gotta hear this tune, here put this helmet on." i've read about similar experiments but was honestly surprised to see the suggestion of making them as ubiquitous as a helmet... that is an incredible amount of technology to be placing a tremendous amount of trust in- on any level. My first thought on reading the title of the article was that it sounded straight out of scifi novel about to go bad :-( Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune--without the words, And never stops at all....

While having such great possibilities for healing many physical infirmities, this field has also been a pandoras box - and from some things I have read, no holds barred to their experimentation. So we see the science relegated to evil uses, and any potential good uses are limited to those within upper levels of power structure. peace, |

"It's a glitch.", that fits very well with my thoughts one how devices like these will actually be used. Sold under the guise of helping of course, one way or another enabling them to perform the duties they must.Whatever they are. It frightens me to think that we aren't too far from such a reality.That these things might actually work on enough of them to prove worthy of proceeding in implementing widespread use of this or similar devices..
