These are the publicly acknowledged technologies. The real nasty militarized mind control stuff is already in deployment across the U.S. One common configuration of the ELF system is a pipe like pole 2-3 foot in diameter at the base tapering to about 1 foot at the top. They are typically around 20-30 foot in height. You can find them along busy roads or freeways and even in strip shopping centers. They are usually ‘disguised’ as flag poles and bear a cellular phone co. label near the base. They are reported to be tied to super computers at the NSA with oodles of fiber optic cable. IIRC the first experiments to be publicly disclosed were conducted in Norway in 1999. At that time the prototype machines could read an individual’s thoughts at up to 1 ½ miles. It could also plant thoughts in people’s minds without their awareness. It has been speculated that one of the purposes of the Chemtrail poisons, (principally the aluminum dioxide) may serve to extend the range of these weapons systems… These people are insane and We the People are in serious trouble.

A good example in real life of machines supposed to control human activity :
1960 Francis Gary Powers on U2, can't be detected plane, got shot down. OOOOOPs!
2001 : Nineteen paper cutting terrorists did what they did. In the land where all was protected by NSA and instant retaliation. OOOPS!
2011 : The highly sophisticated Drone in Iran was grounded. OOOOPS!
Man always beats the machine. OOOPS. I would be lost without my Mac!
What if your mind is a blank? Like most Americans.
Matrix and terminator movies becoming reality ....
Hey george. It's pre-crime. Soon the goverbnment will hook you up[ to a machine, before you have done the crime, call you a terrorist and lock you up with no trial.
the totalitarian fascist police state is alive and well in nazi amerika thanks to operation paperclip and the fascist central planning politburo apparatus of the mic-fed-cia....
the lord shall come to destroy this wickedness....in the mean time billions will be murdered by the mammon loving bankster plutocrats....
so when i walk through airport and i have this frown on my face because i don't want some big fat nigger to feel me off, nor do i want a jewish radiation machine to radiate me, then they say well. we can read this guy's mind because he doesn't have his mind right..........yep, that's about it .........
These machines do not read your mind! They are catching neuronal commands essentially for physical and (with respect to typing or reading) visual signal processing. This is not mind reading! This is signal capture and interpretation. When I think picture a scene from Romeo and Juliet and hear in my mind/body's "ear", "She sits upon the check of night as a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear .... " there is no was these signal capturing machines are anywhere close to understanding the though nor the internal experience of that thought which creates meaning. And as Buddah said, and I paraphrase, you can not understand the individual event without the context. So as I walk thru TSA reading a murder scene from Macbeth, even if those silly scanners could access the scene in my mind and the words, this highly doubtful, the meaning will totally escape except coincidently.
This is like the artificial intelligence or the unravelling the genetic code excitement. Nice work, interesting etc. but ultimate will not come close to the hype. On the other hand, the potential for abuse ... wow! Can you imagine some $10.00/hour TSA employee or Guantanamo interogator interpreting meaning?
dude, you don't get it at all. so I shall spell it out for you
1) it doesn't matter at all what these machines in fact do, it matters what the govenment says they can do. (think saddam and wmd). You really miss the whole point to be honest and maybe GW just needs to be a bit more "literal" with some crowd.
2) if I am a government official and i can lock you up without trial, now I say I have a device that allows me to predict if you will do the crim, If I don't like you I'll lock you up. who cares what tehse things really can or can't do as long as they serve my purpose.
The current propaganda department may claim anything, broadcast it a lot, and that way make it appear to be true?
Wow, what a revolutionary discovery.
Sorry, but if THAT was GW's point - thank you master of the obvious. Why did you need sensationalistic tech news again to prove that, if it actually has nothing specifically to do with "the point"?
Bullshit. GW was in this case spewing sensationalistic bullshit, without turning his brain on, and without doing any "original research" nor fact-checking. Or in short, the article plain and simply is bullshit.
I may be captiain obvious, but it wasn't obvious to you. Hence that would make you captain stupid.
bECASUE CAPTAIN STUPID, SENSATI9ONALISM HAS BEEN A PROVEN TOOL TO GET TO THE MASSES AND INTO THEIR THICK HEADS. PLEASE SEE ALMOST EVERY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE AND HOW THEY WIN ELECTION AND HOW IN GENERAL ELECTIONS ARE WON. SENSATIONAL SOUND BITES, THAT ARE DIVORCED FROM WHAT WAS SAID, NO REAL FULL DEBATE, ETC. GW IS SMARTLY USING THE TECHNIQUES THAT WORK. IF THE HEADLIND SAID MIND READING MACHINES NOT HERE WOULD YOU BE LOOKING AT THE POST. GAME, SET MATCH.
its like the kabbalah. it doesn't matter what we think. they believe it. they think there is power in it and that is good enough to understand.......
No, they cannot "read your mind". Do some research GW, instead of just googling stories and linking them.
What they do - after lots of training (similiar to training a speech recognition program) - is that instead of pressing a mousebutton, you just "trigger" an action with a mental stimulus. No "thought-reading" involved here.
exactly.
article should be titled "crude control of complex machines using subtle shifts in accumulated neuronal noise interpreted with obfuscating algorithms."
I think, for the technically less knowledgeable, a good analogy to explain this, is training a..... dog.
You can train a dog to do perform an action, via ANY speech-pattern. You can train it to sit down, by clearly expressing "sit".... you can train it to sit down, by clearly expressing "place"..... you can train it to sit down, by saying "shit!".... and you can train it to sit down, by saying "rainbows!".
This is how this apparently "magical" kind of tech works. It doesn't understand shit about what you are thinking. It just receives a pattern of neuronal activity (and i may add, at best EMOTIONAL activity, because that results in the clearest most obvious signal.... mainly because emotions IS the experience of signals! Signal capture doesn't get any more pure than emotions).... and it then takes this pattern of mental activity as a trigger, to do something.... just like a dog, that listens for a speech pattern, and blindly is conditioned to respond to it in some way, that may have nothing to do with what you said.
That's the state-of-the-art of that kind of tech. It attempts to identify a reoccuring mental signal pattern.... and then gets programmed to perform ANY action if that trigger is received.
So, this kind of technology explicitely does NOT understand what you mean.... it just recognized reoccuring mental signal patterns, and just like i.e. pressing a mousebutton then executes any command if the input matches.
The probably most amazing thing, that is even remotely close to "understanding", that could be achieved with this, is NOT thought-reading, but "emphathy".... mainly because as i mentioned earlier, clear reoccuring emotions, are the easiest things to identify, because they (for common emotions) produce such a clear reoccuring pattern.
(Yes, that's right. Machines will understand how you feel, long before they understand what you think. Because generic "feelings" contary to popular culture, are much more similiar to the information computers nowadays work with, than "thoughts". And if you seriously find this suprising, then just ask yourself: What is easier - recognizing if someone feels happy/sad/affraid/confident, or understanding someone else's ideas?).
So, if we're already talking about sci-fi that may become real, the next step is an *overall* recognization of how you feel like (that does NOT include why you feel so, nor the specific details... it's simple stuff like "he's sad", or "he's happy"). That kind of stuff is "reachable", because it is so simple, obvious and generic.
Bullish for tinfoil hats.
That's nothing look at what my company is doing in Iraq.

Now we do not need hands or feet or eyes or ears. Our brain is connected to the outside world through output. We have had input for a long time, now we have output.
With a few mind altering drugs and these gadgets we can play a game of cards, 3 handed piano, telescopic vision, and last but not least all the funky sex we want.
What is the point.
it will be used for faster consumption at amazon.com
I'll take funky sex for $1,000, Alex.
Imagine yourself at an airport gate, watching TSA strip search granny ....
In my mind, I'll be screaming "I wanna fucking kill, Kill, KILL these stupid useless motherfuckers that are sucking up my taxdollars for no god damned apparent reason..I wish I had a bomb up my ass to blow stupid useless fuckers to shit and kingdom come. This is the complete dissolution of the Constitution and these fucking Gestapo agents are the point of the spear...they need to fucking die!....."*
But that's only in my mind. In real life, all you see is a fat, fuckwad, old guy wanting to get his ass to somewhere without a lot of needless hassle.
* I've actually done this the last three times I've flown. And NOONE wants to know my thoughts when a great big "Tawanda" determines that I'm a threat to World Peace.

"Imagine yourself at an airport gate, watching TSA strip search granny ....
In my mind, I'll be screaming "I wanna fucking .. sucking ... up my ass ... blow ... come. +"
And that would be how the scenario played out. Some creepy dude watching an old woman groped thinking sexually explicit thoughts.
LOL!
todays 10,000 point plunge in the SP was traced to a Fat Brained trader at Starbucks...
I imagine it will be a very simple process. 90% of the population won't even register on the scale and they'll just throw all the rest who aren't politically connected in a fema camp.
I think TPTB might find many fewer "Good Germans" in the US. When "rounding them up" becomes a life or death proposition, how many people do you think will sign up for that gig? Or to state it another way (Gerald Celente style): when people have nothing left to lose, they lose it.
You could make a killing at this casino with this kind of technology.

Bet John Corzine is glad it isn't on WalMart shelves yet!
Finally it makes sense.
Who exactly is controlling you George?
This kind of technology has many more perils than benefits.
Look what cell phones and txt'ing have done to communications and motor vehicle accidents.
More technology is not always better, and often a Pandora's box.
I'm going to start practicing my fogging techniques; "Cheesburger! Boobies! Breaking Glass! Choking an Alien!"

More technology is ALWAYS better.
How it is applied will run the gamut from threatening to enlightening.

"And so those mindless beasts of the subconscious had access to a machine that could never be shut down. The secret devil of every soul on the planet all set free at once to loot and mame, and take revenge, and kill."
Exactly, thank you.
Well since you already know what I'm thinking
My place or yours, Machine?
MobBarley, I just love your name.
So that means that soon, if you want to see some porn, you just go to the nearest SEC office and concentrate?
i think they have pretty conclusively proved in the last
video that cats see dogs when their heads are perforated
with probes and locked in a vice while being doped up
on lab grade pharmaceuticals. maybe that is why cats
don't trust people, they see the dog in us?
.
and that guy with electronic ass hat playing the piano
with his aura, he must be a piano player, right?
or does he just think he is. i mean can he play a wrong note
with that hat on or do they all just come out the way the
software demands? that is the question. and michio ...
how many billions of dollars will it cost to map the thought..
" i want a beer " ? call me a virtual cave man. it's only
not money. but think of the advertising possibilities
once the manipulation / brain barrier is totally violated.
the future is indeed bright in the hands of these savants?
Imagine how close we are now to remote mind controlled weapons.
Mind Corps... don't need to bother with physical training. Only mental training. I wonder how fast the reaction time is for these devices. I've always wanted one to play FPS. Mind -> Hand -> controller -> Game reaction time is shitty. Imagine direct Mind -> Game (or weapon system).
Conversely, I could slouch even more at work - I get too lazy to move my mouse and try to think the cursor over. Though now, you wouldn't need a cursor.
Enders game.

Probably a significant lag. How fast the Brain process versus the fastest possible machine implimentation.
You will always be behind in any attack because the processing will be too slow.
That and you don't have the same Biological incentive you do with real world violence.
I read that when you shit yourself it clears the digestive tract allowing your Brain to use more Blood and energy for reactions and processing. But when you piss yourself it is your system overloading.
Red flagged you for not knowing how to turn off bold-face :-(

It is an intentional usage.
You don't seem to comprehend nuance and what is suggested.

Even worse then.
i knew obama was lying before he was elected. its not that hard, any parent who isn't on crack knows this stuff
Hell, my psychic friend can read your mind just by lookin' at your aura.
And I'm pretty sure my dog is reading my mind right now.
Danger Will Robinson, Danger
Damn.. they beat me to it :(
This is all just geared toward jailing people based on what they were "planning" to do.
