HOW FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE IS DUE TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN BOTH THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPE.


Each individual man, woman and child would be wirelessly tethered from implants which are already deeply imbedded in their brains and spinal cords to super computers which would be run by pre-programmed computerized algorithms. All of the electrical activity generated by the brain and body of each individual would be uploaded on a constant basis to said super computers where it would be data analysed. All data collected would then be used to build a profile of each individual. That profile would appear along side the individuals face each and every time that individuals face was captured by a facial recognition system which is built into closed circuit television cameras. I know this to be the case because I have been wirelessly tethered to this system for many years. The system I refer to is known as Remote Neural Monitoring in combination with Remote Neural Manipulation.

In combination with the afore mentioned system, wirelessly enabled microwave mind control is also being used to lull most of the population into a false sense of security and the main stream media is now privately owned and controlled.

In order to free ourselves from this full spectrum dominance system we must urgently disassemble and ban all wireless enabling capabilities throughout our respective countries. The individuals who have engineered this full spectrum dominance system have lied to us about the existence of satellites and space based weapons. They themselves are outside the system and above the law.

#1386 Tools for Getting Into Our Brains Bioethics(DARPA) and EPR/ESR

#1386 Tools for Getting Into Our Brains Bioethics and EPR(Electron paramagnetic Resonance)-ESR(Electron Spin Resonance)
http://www.tvworldwide.com/events/bioethics/130819/

There is now discussion at the Bioethics and disclosed science on the tools being used to access the brain. Take the time to watch these two segments at least of the Bioethics from Tuesday's discussion on "Obama's", "Brain Initiative".

Play section 6 of meeting 14, starting at the 16:00 minute mark. Walter J. Koroshetz, M.D.  Deputy Director  National Institute of Neurologic Disease and Stroke   Deputy Director   National Institute of Neurologic Disease and Stroke    National Institutes of Health......  Monitoring and effecting brain function , the tools being created even communication with DNA. They talk about going from individual probes that allowed access of just a small amount of Brain activity to using materials now to access down to each neuron firing.


John C. Wingfield, Ph.D.   Assistant Director for the Directorate for Biological Sciences   National Science Foundation starts at about the 25:00 minute mark,and at 28:00 minutes talks about studying animals in the field using nano sensors! We are studied in the field. Notice the problem with data storage mentioned and we know the capabilities of data storage that the NSA have, they must be gathering massive amounts of data by decoding the brain. Winfield is from the National Science foundation that funds research.

DARPA follows in this segment:

Noted by a very educated TI;  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_paramagnetic_resonance

Electron paramagnetic resonance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) or electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is a technique for studying materials with unpaired electrons. The basic concepts of EPR are analogous to those of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), but it is electron spins that are excited instead of the spins of a...

Something I noted while reading on EPR

Remote neural Monitoring?........from the Wikipedia on EPR

A quote I found in reading this................ Medical and biological applications of EPR also exist. Although radicals are very reactive, and so do not normally occur in high concentrations in biology, special reagents have been developed to spin-label molecules of interest. These reagents are particularly useful in biological systems. Specially-designed nonreactive radical molecules can attach to specific sites in a biological cell, and EPR spectra can then give information on the environment of these so-called spin-label or spin-probes.

Are these special reagents the nano sensors mentioned at the Bioethics as nano sensors for studying animals in the field? It seem like a very good possibility.

#1050a For participants of future Bioethics Commission meetings

   The number of TI's speaking can be seen watching the video. the first TI Cassandera I believe asked for those who were TIs to stand and then raise there hands. It turned out to be most of the room with some small amount out of the room. these people were so passionate I believe all to be TIs. It ended with Ed Cats a TI I know through ken Rhoades. Ed and his children have been chipped.
    He and his wife are also Russian immigrants,many being Russian Jews. Being in New York that number was high. This is further evidence that the FISA laws with a one sided court system was the fore runner and was then turned on Americans. Later being the cornerstone of the patriot act.
    Ed also has a recorded DVD of the FBI(agent Callahan) telling him that the president is fully aware of his implants and that he will just have to learn to live with it. We are building quite the library of DVDs made by TIs. We also interviewed for a second article to be written in the American Free Press news paper out of DC.
    I saw more evidence of implants from a girl Ken drove down with named Leslie. Retinal, cochlear, and wires in the lower jaw and skull. the images of the wire leading off the retinal implant seems like it might be an easy one to image by an eye doctor with photography. I can only assume these other implants are meant for subvocal speech recognition and Remote Neural Monitoring. I'm going to get the files of these images. This adds to what David Larson found and the Alfred E Mann spin off companies creating these implants.

Wikipedia on Alfred E Mann:   Mann then went on to establish MiniMed (insulin pumps and continuous glucose devices, now owned by Medtronic) and Advanced Bionics (neuroprosthetics), which was owned by Boston Scientific from 2004-2008. Boston Scientific and the Advanced Bionics management had agreed to split the company. Under this split, Boston Scientific would own the pain management and other neural stimulation portions and Advanced Bionics would focus on developing, manufacturing and distributing cochlear implants for the restoration of hearing to the deaf.

He is currently involved in several companies, including:


    I also met a New York TI put on 800 mg of Seroquel. Similar to my build up to 1,400 over 5 years. Even on this dose for just one year he had a heart attack and kidney failure. This gives me even more reasons to thank god that I'm alive.
   I also spoke with a lawyer and journalist who was there to represent a TI client. By the end she was pretty scared that this could happen to her. She also mention that this is why doctors and lawyers are reluctant to stand by us, or only in a minimal way.
   I wish I hadn't been on my second day with no sleep but I made it through the day. We brought two other TI's with us, both are on groups but had never met other TIs before. They were pretty solid when they contacted me and both did well adding to our numbers.
   Below is the video broken up for You tube. There were TIs still wanting to speak and in line when they stopped us, and it is impossible to ask anything of the commission like I tried in the last one. The commission is set and has been by President OBama. Listen to co-chair Dr. Wagner state the, limited scope, of these public meetings. I'll bet only my Seroquel will be concidered, being a drug. The military, law enforcement and CIA are exempt I'm sure. I think he was alluding to this fact. He also mentions the 300 people who called in to speak.
    I should mention the Vietnamese doctor who spoke this time. Also Dr. Hall, and an ethics lawyer and assistant proffessor now retired and and a journalist who spoke at the last meeting.
    I'm also increasingly seeing younger TIs in there twenties and they have been calling me as well. This program has been increasing. Still the majority are in there fifties.  Maybe our efforts will have an impact, who knows?

The blog of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues
Read your mind? Not in a ‘million light years’
Written by John Donnelly on February 28, 2011 — 8 Comments

The members of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues received a primer today on recent advances in the use of medical technology on neuro-imagery. It was a session that Dr. Gregory House of the TV show House would have found fascinating – especially the multiple uses of MRI machines to help detect hard-to-diagnosis diseases.

The Commission is considering whether to embark on examining ethical issues surrounding the uses of neuro-imagery and genetic testing.

A panel of scientists said that one cutting-edge ethical issue now involves how private companies could use this technology for what they called “neuro-marketing” in order to advance the sale of products.

But one issue not on the table: whether new technology can help read minds — because it can’t.

Such technology “is a million light years away,” said Dr. Martha Farah, the Walter H. Annenberg Professor in Natural Science and Director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania.

Science isn’t close to enabling researchers to read the thoughts of others, Farah said in an interview. Still, though, she knows people fear that it will happen. She said she gets asked about it frequently.

“We are nowhere near being able to read sentences or thoughts that are the equivalent of sentences,” Farah said. “But it is the case that we can derive a fair amount of personal information including current mental states, such as mood, intentions, and desire to buy an object” from Functional MRIs, or fMRIs.

But the interpretation of brain imagery, captured in fMRIs, was far from perfect, she said. “There is a lot of significant personal information from fMRIs. It is with a degree of accuracy that is far from perfect, but is well above chance.”

That leads Farah to be wary of neuro-marketing. “The biggest ethical issue to me is the fact that many of the most exciting new applications of brain imaging are being developed entirely with private corporate funding for commercial purposes,” she said. “I don’t think that is going to give us the best new contributions to society, and I don’t think that is going to lead to the greatest transparency concerning what these scans can do.”

      I believe that it is critically important to consider the ramifications of issues such as these preemptively. While it may not be exactly hyperbolic to state that we are “nowhere near being able to read … thoughts,” as soon as a company thinks this is a worthy goal and starts to invest heavily in it, the growth will be rapid.

      I do not believe that anyone should at all suggest that this is an impossible endeavor, unfortunately. Just because our current imaging technologies are not up to the task does not mean that a more sensitive measure, or a paradigm shifting one, may not be on the horizon.

      I would agree that we are relatively far from such technology, but with the current accelerations of technological growth and neuroscience understanding, it would not be surprising to see within the next 50 years.

      Also, a light year is a measure of distance and not time. So, unless there is a suggestion that no one within a radius of 9.4×10^21 m has access to this technology, then that quote may have been given in error.

            Hello and thanks for the reasonable comments. I agree that one should never discount the possibility of a “paradigm shift,” but I feel confident that the extrapolation of current brain imaging methods will not get us there. And given concerns about mind reading with current technology expressed by some members of the public in attendance, it seemed worth making the point in loud & clear terms. There is some impressive work being done to read mental information from the brain. But relative to real mind-reading, it’s like climbing trees to get to the moon — you can make some progress away from the ground and toward the moon, but only so far. Speaking of celestial bodies, I was using a distance analogy — we’re nowhere close, we’re light years away — but it did get lost in quotation! Thanks again for your thoughts. Martha

      Just because public research is far from mind reading doesn’t mean it is not being done… clandestinely. Even Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, admits “Our biggest problem has always [been] how do we get into the head of somebody”. Note the word BIGGEST. It’s narrow views like those of Dr. Martha Farah that have been leading society to be caught with its pants down.

      The use of language here is extremely important. There’s a skip from neuroimaging to science with the conclusion derived from neuroimaging applied on the broader level of science. There is a whole other area of neuroscience involving detecting and decoding electrical impulses which was not even discussed at all. Neuroimaging fundamentally measures mass which limits what can be done with respect to brain research drastically.

      Although we saw the letter “M” on the back of the brain by neuroimaging techniques where sight images are processed, we did not see any neurological work that reflected decoding electrical impulses such as was reported by the BBC News in 1999 where the ability to look through a cat’s eyes was accomplished: http://bbc.in/gQyBtJ The Commission has utterly failed to bring to the surface this aspect of neuroscience today.

      I make a similar analogy between mind reading today versus the inadequacy of neuroimaging to accomplish this at all. There has been a lack of any consideration given by the Commission to that branch of neuroscience which decodes electrical impluses that would reveal thoughts (words, sentences and images). This is completely different from neuroimaging.

      I am quite concerned about this dismissal which is valid for neuroimaging being used on a broader basis when applied to science or other areas of neuroscience. My concern comes from the facts of my experience for the past decade where those people well known to me using neuroscience based surveillance technology have been able to read my thoughts (words, sentences and images) and repeat back to me what I am thinking by means of electronic transmission of sound, aka, Voice-to-Skull (V2K) so called by the US Army. I will go one step further and say that thoughts can be made audible in this manner, so that what one thinks in terms of words and sentences come out of a speaker because I hear my thoughts through S2K on a slight delay basis.

      Those among the 22 public speakers at the end who reported the same experiences from various parts of the US that I have experienced in London revealed that this exists on a global basis and is being carried out as experiments on non-consensual human subjects as these people repeatedly described while they pleaded for help from the Commission to save their lives.

      John Donnelly wrote “But one issue not on the table: whether new technology can help read minds — because it can’t.” This is the language problem. “New technology” is limited to neuroimaging when the Commission did not even consider other areas of neuroscience such as decoding the brain’s electromagnetic radiation emissions. “Science isn’t close to enabling researchers to read the thoughts of others, Farah said in an interview.” continues John Donnelly. Again this is a language usage fallacy. One cannot extrapolate a narrow area of research and application to a broader base.

      The Commission has done itself and the public a great disservice by not considering all aspects of neuroscience or even science that might be applicable. I think that the Commission needs to go back to this area and do it justice by a thorough review of the current state of neuroscience that takes in decoding electrical impulses of the brain. What is actually being done is far, far from what is being presented by this Commission so far. This hole needs to be filled in, and those who speak from the public listened to very carefully. They are at the forefront of abuse by research.

      Pesonally if an individual was to actually try to read another individuals mind I believe it would entail this process. Find the vibratory frequency of the tissue of said subjects brain. Then pass that frequency at a low level through said tissue. Being received on the other side of said subjects head the frequency could then be analyzed for distortion due to electrical field functioning in brain processes. If the electrical field of the brain can be mapped. Then an individuals brain can be read by the fluctuations of said fields. Personal opinion not researched.

      Session 3 of Bioethics Commission

      http://tinyurl.com/4t67woe

      At about 45 minutes into this Session 3 video of the bioethics Commission Lisa Becker asks a question and in Dr. Farah’s response she says subvocal speech recognition is only speech and not mind reading. If knowing a subjects unspoken thoughts is not mind reading then what is mind reading.

      I have written on how millimeter wave surveillance that measure heart and breathing rates as well as sweating as being used in concert with V2K/MEDUSA (microwave hearing effect) as being used as a remote lie detector or to enhance remote no-touch-torture using other directed energy weapons. We need to consider emergent and current technology as being components of a weapons system.
      Another example might be to stimulate a part of the brain to bring up a memory. Subvocal speech recognition could be used to read the subjects unspoken thought. Similar results might be obtained with brain imaging/FMRI.
      No longer can one technology be considered just by its self.

      Neuroscientists are already able to read some basic thoughts, like whether an individual test subject is looking at a picture of a cat or an image with a specific left or right orientation. They can even read pictures that you’re simply imagining in your mind’s eye. Even leaders in the field are shocked by how far we’ve come in our ability to peer into people’s minds. Will brain scans of the future be able to tell if a person is lying or telling the truth? Suggest whether a consumer wants to buy a car? Reveal our secret likes and dislikes, or our hidden prejudices? While we aren’t there yet, these possibilities have dramatic social, legal and ethical implications… http://tinyurl.com/l7z8ry
