Could Military Mind Control Get Out of Hand?

It was out of hand when they started MK Ultra in the 1950s.

The United States military is using technology to its advantage, and now, the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience might also provide the government with weaponry and gear that taps into the human brain. However, fiddling with such developments has the potential to do great harm.

A recent article in U.S. News & World Report detailed advances in neuroscience that could possibly be used by the military: “tanks controlled from half a world away, memory erasures that could prevent PTSD, and ‘brain fingerprinting’ that could be used to extract secrets from enemies.”

Jonathan Moreno, a professor of bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania and the author of Mind Wars: Brain Science and the Military in the 21st Century, wrote an essay published in PLoS Biology about ethical questions of utilizing mind-altering developments in warfare. When Albert Einstein discovered his special theory of relativity he didn’t know that one day that technology would be used to build nuclear weapons, he says.

“Neuroscientists may not consider how their work contributes to warfare,” added Moreno.

Moreno and others are asking the government to consider the ethical boundaries of developing and utilizing such a technology to be used in warfare.

The military has already invested in neuroscience technologies. In 2008, the military put $4 million towards the development of “thought helmets.” Other emerging areas of neuroscience might also prove useful to the military include the ability to make soldiers that can eat grass, feel no fear and possess superhuman abilities to climb walls.

It is no secret that the military likes utilizing technology to gain warfare advantages. This year alone, various branches of the Department of Defense have signed multi-million dollar contracts for the purchase of robots for use in tactical operations. Most of the robots are small in size, but most recently DARPA imagined humanoid-sized robots.

Limited hangout coming soon if you ask me.....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_hangout

A limited hangout, or partial hangout, is a public relations or propaganda technique that involves the release of previously hidden information in order to prevent a greater exposure of more important details. It takes the form of deception, misdirection, or coverup often associated with intelligence agencies involving a release or "mea culpa" type of confession of only part of a set of previously hidden sensitive information, that establishes credibility for the one releasing the information who by the very act of confession appears to be "coming clean" and acting with integrity; but in actuality, by withholding key facts, is protecting a deeper operation and those who could be exposed if the whole truth came out. In effect, if an array of offenses or misdeeds is suspected, this confession admits to a lesser offense while covering up the greater ones.

A limited hangout typically is a response to lower the pressure felt from inquisitive investigators pursuing clues that threaten to expose everything, and the disclosure is often combined with red herrings or propaganda elements that lead to false trails, distractions, or ideological disinformation; thus allowing covert or criminal elements to continue in their improper activities.

Victor Marchetti wrote: "A 'limited hangout' is spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further."[1]

Nice find deca.

Everything they do is some kind of bullshit in one form or the other.
