US Commerce Dept says China has brain-control weaponry The USA has added another 37 organizations – 34 of them from China – to its list of businesses with which US interests can't interact without a license, with 12 of them earning their places for developing "mind control weapons." As usual, the newly listed organisations earned their place on the grounds their activities …
Every morning I use my brain-controlled cutlery, and drink from my brain-controlled mug. Also ‘noun verb subject’ should be written ‘noun-verb subject’. Gotta love the ‘Men Who Stare At Goats’ vibe - our enemies are doing x, we must have funding to develop x.
I read a sort sci-fi years ago (I expect from my great collection of 'Pan book[s] of horror stories' which, alas, have been lost in the mists of time) in which all the top military bods in the USA gathered together all their top scientists for a secret meeting.
They showed them a grainy B&W cine film smuggled out of the USSR showing the Russians using and flying an anti-gravity machine. They gave the scientists 6 months to build one.
The scientists, now convinced such a contraption is possible, managed to build such a machine after a lot of head scratching, leaps of faith and downright brilliant engineering after 5 months.
At the wash-up meeting, the top bods were delighted and went around all slapping themselves on the back - they then revealed to the scientists that the cine film was FAKE and no such machine ever existed, but NOW the USA had one up on the dreaded Ruskies!
So, who knows what the USA propaganda machine is up to...
I've read the same story - a good example of old scientists saying "we tried that years ago and it cannot be done" and young scientits believing them and not even trying. Until the film of the 'proof' forces them both to try out new ideas and eventually succeed (sort of).
A good story, just wish I could remember who wrote it. Seems like A.C.Clarke.
my 'least favorite' one is a derivative of "People that are smarter than you are already working on it".
But the truth is that people who say such discouraging things are simply TOXIC and should be removed from any position of influence immediately.
As for brain-controlled things, back in the 90's there was this arcade-style video game in a computer store that had a couple of 'things' to put two fingers in, one for the right hand and one for the left. it was a downhill skiing game with a slalom course and you needed to "think right thoughts" for it to go right, and "think left thoughts" for it to go left. I played it for a few minutes, got the hang of it pretty fast. I haven't seen anything like it since.
"our enemies are doing x, we must have funding to develop x."
Isn't this how the USA bankrupted the USSR by convincing them the Star Wars project was real and actually progressing to a working system? Are China now playing the same trick on the USA?
>Isn't this how the USA bankrupted the USSR
You overestimate the impact of Star Wars. Its a nice theory but what actually happened in the USSR was a combination of economic reform combined with a political will to tamp down the Cold War -- it was getting seriously dangerous in the 80s. (if you were living in the UK at the time you'd recall the level of threat). The actual bankrupting was more a post-restructuring thing when economic 'advisers' -- carpetbaggers -- moved in and took control of large parts of the economy. That's why Putin's our current Bad Boy -- he in turn evicted the carpetbaggers, stabilized the economy and generally returned Russia to a more sovereign state (hence his enduring popularity over there).
The Chinese aren't interested in bankrupting the US. We're doing it to ourselves. Although the roots started earlier things really got moving in the 80s with the buildup of military spending financed by deficit spending. (This was the era of the first full on financial scandal, the "Savings and Loan Crisis".) We stabilized the deficit in the latter 90s but starting in the 2000s things have got really out of control. We get away with it because the US dollar is the global reserve currency so we're effectively getting everyone else to pay for our deficits. (That's why we're rather touchy about countries moving from the dollar, especially for energy purchases.) Unfortunately we've now weaponized the dollar so countries will move away from it -- once that's happened to any degree then we will be in deep crap.

Anything which and anyone who knows that matters, martinusher, has realised those red lines were crossed to an inordinate degree many moons ago .... and those who and that which can do something about it to avail themselves of just excessive rewards for being responsible, but not necessarily accountable, for events and future programs righting such wrongs, are pleased to be of service, and at your service in pursuit of the much greater good, via novel ethereal means and memes never before so very well exercised nor never before so well protected and defended against abusive attack and vainglorious misuse and pathetic systemic assaults with Vast Virgin Arsenals of SMARTR Almighty Weapons/Heavenly Tools/Diabolical Traps against which there is no known possible viable effective defence to prevent crushing and crashing defeats.
Just desserts some say .... and who is to say they are not correct, given the present dire perilous state of current geopolitical and future metaphysical play.
The only logical course of action then is to Offer an Honourable Unconditional Surrender, however, as has been noted in the past, and it does tend to cause serial problems ..........

You got a big part of it right... That's called a long-term Machiavellian plan... To see the big picture, please wait for some systems to get online (easy programming for Intelligent folks) and watch cryptocurrency markets...
"I have absolutely NO doubt that every single major nation in the world is engaged in similar brain research." Probably, but the way it is done is important too. But somehow, and this is probably prejudice, i feel that the Chinese government is a little bit easier on the ethical issues than most western powers.
Actually remote mind control is a possible nowadays thanks to social media. For example
"How Unwitting Americans Encountered Russian Operatives" [NYT Feb. 18, 2018], documents some cases where Russians tried to organized both demonstrations and counter demonstrations. Some attempts were successful, others not.
I suppose you could say that was only tapping into pre existing trends - or even needs. Or you could say it was a form a fraud, which is nothing new. However, it is a also form of hybrid warfare, and it is using psychological techniques to dial up passions which Russia sees as a way to inflict damage. I don't think it really made more than an alpha of difference to what is already going with social media, but it is remarkable because it can be done via social media.
As this article concern China, It's also worth mentioning that it's not something that China does, only Russia. Perhaps it is because Russia and the US have a lot more in common psychologically speaking.
Modafinil is a brain enhancer drug that's been around for a while that western military are turning to to replace use of amphetamines, which has been in use in the military for a long time.
Many soldiers are drugged to the eyeballs, don't want them falling asleep, a little bit of paranoia and an itchy trigger finger is not seen as a bad thing. It better that your boys thing that everyone is out to get them that to realise that they are out to get everyone else. Arguably mind control? Certainly considered acceptable mental side effects.
You don't get thrown out the war, if you soldiers are caught taking performance enhancing drugs.
Of course Uncle Sam would like to imply they don't do that sort of thing by pointing the finger at someone else.

Get your cheap radioactive necklaces here folks, they protect against all forms of conspiracy, especially 5G!!! Uses only safe ionising radiation to protect you from the dangerous very low power non-ionising radiation
This must be one of the Chinese agents manipulating the mind control software...
The sheer amount of wild conjecture that the US Defence industry will use to desperately claw for more cash from the government is extraordinary.
Of course the Chinese do have a massive and growing technological advantage which will result in an effective monopole in the next century, but that's because they're educating their engineers and scientists without burdening them with a lifetime's debt. America is so busy spending that money on spurious military projects and invading places there's no chance of them catching up on that front.
Probably true in terms of intention but not very well implementd. A competent psyops job would have completely squashed conspiracy theories by undermining them rather than just trying to contradict them. Just launch counter conspiracies that the original conspiracy theory was the work of deep state/Zionists/Islamists/white supremacists/whatever else triggers the group being aimed at.
But what happens when the original conspiracies are already ready to fire back with counter-counter conspiracies that imply, "That's what they want you to think" and then use the same trick to preempt a counter on the counter to the counter: implying any such counter is just mind games until everyone's brain melts and they just return to the default?
Actually these sorts of Mind Control weapons are easy to disable in a conflict, just send a drone over the troops attacking you that drops marijuana, rolling papers, and boxes of matches.
We declare marijuana to be a "dangerous drug" so lets start using it as a weapon in warfare - give all of our troops a big pack to use to defend themselves...
"UK did fight and win the Opium Wars against China in order to retain the right to sell opium in China"
And that's something that China _really_ hasn't forgotten. It might get glossed over in British history lessons but not in Chinese ones
Upcoming trade negotiations are going to be.....interesting
The original stuff was Russian, designed by Theremin, used for passively eavesdrop a room, then USA decided to upgrade it to target back, With a bit of neuroscience and nanotechnology in it.
This video explains it: https://mobile.twitter.com/Fabio1337_BR/status/1461415540388470787
It is just a tiny tiny microchip inserted in a cavity with direct contact with a nerve.
Made by NSA/GCHQ, used by CIA/FBI/NSA.
Can be used to read thoughts (ideas), induce dreams or remotely to torture a subject, electric shock sensation included ( like electric chair, pretty funny if you can tolerate pain... I can )
Do you really think Bill or Elon have all the ideas themselves? Not.
Expensive stuff.
I have a working sample of the microchip in my possession.
That's why intelligent folks need to remove the microchip before decrypting serious stuff or giving serious information.
And now USA does not want China to have the same power.
That, of course, is the biggest problem with the US claim: it encourages a whole sector of conspiracy theorists. :( ..... msobkow
Unfortunately/Fortunately the catastrophic vulnerability with the US claim is that it requires a whole sector of conspiracy theorists ....... thus is it destined to epically typically topically fail as is perfectly normal in such cases, again and again without fail.
It does have one wondering if they are congenitally retarded and incapable of learning from their experiences in mistakes ...... in order to find an acceptable valid reason for such serial bad/mad/rad/sad/fad/lad behaviour.
Or do you think there is something strange and unpleasant being put in that which they are taking/smoking/drinking? There’s bound to be a rational reason no matter how bizarre one may initially think it and protest to deny it.
The secret though in such cases, whilst one moves on way up ahead in other leading matters, is to leave them alone with it and allow them to knock themselves out whilst conspiring with others amongst themselves to prove things not true and acceptable.
Seems like China is late to Uncle Sam's party ........ Project MKUltra ...... if you can believe what you are being so forcefully spoon fed?
