Tips and Tricks for Mind Control from the US Military

What if you could dial a phone, write an email, or check your

voicemail just by thinking it? A new grant from the Army to further

research synthetic telepathy intends to make all of the above do-

able, plus provide an impermeable headspace for covert operations.

How? By translating electrical brain activity via an

electroencephalograph, or an EEG, into tangible action.

 

The principle behind this tech is similar to the videogame headset

you may have read about, as well as that voiceless phone-call

experiment. " It will take a lot of research, and a lot of time, " says

Mike D'Zmura, the lead scientist on the project at University of

California at Irvine, " but there are also a lot of commercial

applications, not just military applications. " Ah, but it's the

latter that provides the most fascinating, if alarming, potential.

Allow us to take a look back at a few previous pipedreams and

developments spearheaded by the government in the field of, um, ESP

science.

 

LSD

The infamous Project MKULTRA, run by the CIA in the '50s and '60s,

tapped into an array of drugs—heroin, weed, speed, shrooms—to

illegally test its unwitting subjects. But it was the use of its most

famous hallucinogen, LSD, that's most captured the public's mind.

 

THE GAY BOMB

According to the BBC, the Department of Defense had a brief

flirtation with a six-year, $7.5 million project to craft

aphrodisiacs that would embarrass enemy troops into submission.

Although it sounds like some ignorant, paranoid, ridiculous McCarthy-

era thinking, this was proposed circa 1994.

 

THE VOICE OF GOD

The mythic sonic projector directly aims its sound at just one

person, who can receive a secret message or just go bananas from

hearing voices. And it's indeed becoming a reality, if that

Paranormal State billboard stunt in Manhattan last year is any

indication.

 

HANDS-OFF HYPNOSIS

The Army posted a " Voice-to-Skull " mockup on its site in May…then

surreptitiously took it down. However, a sharp-shooting U.K. web page

managed to capture the image, which appears to be plans for a " neuro-

electromagnetic devise " that could, like the Voice of God, beam

focused sounds through thin air to hypnotize its target. Curious.

 

TELEPATHIC RAY GUN

A report earlier this year revealed that the Army hoped (hopes?) to

develop non-lethal weapons that discharge electromagnetic pulses that

cause seizures as well as microwaves that transmit words into your

ear and/or induce fevers.

 

Honorary, Tangential Mentions...

 

RAY GUNS OF PAIN

Taser, you got served. This device would shoot a non-lethal,

invisible beam at an unsupecting victim, which is bound to fuck with

the mind. But why take our word for it? Check the footage.

 

SLEEP-NO-MORE DRUGS

The use of non-addictive drugs like Modafinil/Provigil in undisclosed

doses allows soldiers to supersize their ability to go without sleep

for 40 hours at a time.
