So how many of us have scratched our heads wondering why the mindless people follow Obama no matter what? Or that folks do not make a stand against what is wrong in this country? I have an odd feeling that we are past the rodent testing phase of this program.

Now if you believe that this hasn't been implemented yet, just wait a minute here.... Why on earth, is our government even attempting to develop such a program? Just this alone should be cause for alarm, and there are leaked documents as proof. At the bottom of this thread you will find some excerpts from the 128 page document submitted as proof.

This is an example of science gone mad. This is no longer a conspiracy, it is fact!


Activist Post was recently contacted by an anonymous whistleblower who worked on a secret ongoing mind-control project for DARPA. The aim of the program is to remotely disrupt political dissent and extremism by employing "Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation" (TMS) in tandem with sophisticated propaganda based on this technology. TMS stimulates the temporal lobe of the brain with electromagnetic fields.



This DARPA research brings about many ethical questions and dilemmas. Mainly, this research aims to literally induce or disrupt the operation of narratives within the brain. In other words, this research aims to stop individuals from thinking certain thoughts and make others believe things they normally would not believe. This research has tremendous interrogation possibilities and could potentially be used to more successfully spread propaganda or stop political upheaval to an unsuspecting public.

Secret DARPA Mind Control Project Revealed: Leaked Document

This video try's to explain how this works in detail. This video contains a lot of info, and if you hate reading boring news articles, I would give this a go. There are 2 other videos on the above linked page you may be interested in.



Ok now for the proof... This documnet is 128 pages long. And I just included bits and pieces.

Toward-Narrative-Disruptors-and-Inductors-Mapping-the-Narrative-Comprehension-Network-and-its-Persuasive-Effects


1 II.A. INNOVATIVE CLAIMS Humans are storytelling beings. There is no clearer evidence of this than the struggles of the United States government to convince world populations of its good intentions, and to dissuade key constituencies from the powerful narratives told by violent extremists. In short, it is widely recognized that the U.S. is "losing the battle of the narrative" and thus, consequentially,the "war of ideas". This project responds to Technical Areas 1 and 2, with the aim of revolutionizing the study of the neuropsychology of narrative and its effects on persuasion. It will generate the knowledge to effectively understand, model, and disrupt narratives —systems of stories sharing themes, forms, and archetypes—on a neurological level, and the capability to induce powerful narrative phenomena (such as transportation and narrative validity) with certainty. To achieve this goal we have assembled a transdisciplinary team from Arizona State University and the Barrow Neurological Institute. Members have expertise in neuropsychology, neuroimaging, narrative theory, persuasion and strategic communication, as well as religion and culture. The team will achieve four key innovations in research approach, theory, and practice.



Generate practical innovations . Strategic communicators face numerous questions with regard to narrative. Does grounding a message in a master narrative make a practical difference in persuading members of an audience? If it does, can the effect be enhanced by ensuring that listeners are transported into a story? If the narrative is circulating in a population, can it be degraded by circulating elements that reduce its coherence? Answers to these questions, which this project will provide, are key to identifying disruptors and inductors that can make narrative- based strategic communication more effective.



2 II.B. DELIVERABLES Our research fundamentally develops the capacity to disrupt cognitive narrative processes to alter their persuasive power and further establishes a methodology for inducing narrative validity, transportation and integration in strategic communication messaging. To deliver this capability our project will produce: A model of the Narrative Comprehension Network,correlations between narrative theory and brain function, a validated experimental paradigm for future research to follow, and a development plan for narrative disruptors and inductors.A summary of the projects deliverables includes:

A validated experimental paradigm.
The research proposed herein will establish anexperimental paradigm for investigating narrative theory at multiple levels of analysisi ncluding behavioral, cognitive, and biological. This paradigm and associated stimulu smaterials will not only support this project but future research on the neuropsychology of narrative.


A map of the Narrative Comprehension Network.
This network will reflect an interconnected set of brain regions that support narrative comprehension through the coordination of cognitive mechanisms such as attention, memory, identity, and theory of mind. Mapping the influence of attention, memory, identity, emotion, and theory of mind will address technical area 2 sub-goals 2, 3, and 5 by clarifying the shared contributions of these neural networks to narrative comprehension. Because of the multi-modal approachdescribed in Section III, this map will not only describe the connections between brainregions, but information about how they sequence in a temporal fashion to respond tonarrative stimuli.


A correlational model of the relationship between the Narrative ComprehensionNetwork and theories of vertical integration, narrative transportation and narrativevalidity.
Narrative theories are typically studied and discussed in isolation. Our work both productively elucidates the overlap of these theories and, importantly, relates them to brain processes and functions.


Data for modeling narrative comprehension.
The proposed research will provide strong empirical constraints for informing and modeling biological and behavioral aspects of strategic communication as it relates to narrative.


Mechanisms for Narrative Induction & Disruption:
This project will result in an empirical basis upon which to craft strategic communication materials such that their introduction into a discourse system should induce a higher rate of narrative validity,transportation, and vertical integration. The Narrative Comprehension Network model will provide the basis for pre-testing such materials to ensure they activate the appropriate neural network components to maximize narrative induction. These same efforts will identify underlying mechanisms to disrupt narrative processing in the brain. We will have a thorough understanding of the neural and persuasive effects of manipulating narrative transportation,narrative validity and vertical integration.

This is really cool!

It sounds like it'll be a wonderful tool for keeping self marginalizing obsessively delusional paranoid people on conspiracy theory websites in line.
I wonder if it can be programmed into the advertising?
That would be even cooler since advertising is getting smarter and better at targeting its target audiences more effectively.

I really like this.
We won't have to do mind control the 'hard' way any more.



Wait til this hits the private sector. No one will ever leave a car dealer again without signing a contract on a lease. No one will ever leave a shopping mall without first maximizing all their credit cards to the absolute limit.
Everyone will bleed gouts of money until they run out and then they'll willingly become slaves to pay off their debts.

Oh wait, That happened like 100 years ago, the slaves to debt thing.

As to mind control, seriously, most people don't even use what they got anyway. They're already zombies. Let their strings get pulled more effectively with this technology. No one will know much of a difference.

You know before I read this article, and saw the whistleblowers document, I would have said all of this was a load of crap. Anyways, here is some food for thought.... Perhaps some people are less prone to disruptors and inductors? Perhaps those are the conspiracy theorists that you see here today.
Please raise your hand if you see things wrong in the US, but cant understand why the rest of the citizens are mindless and clueless zombies.
Not saying this particular theory in this post is fact, but it was fun to entertain, and could explain a lot.

Here is another very important thought that has come to mind, and is worthy of mention. If you were a whistleblower these days, would you go to a major news outlet, or perhaps one that is much smaller and less likely to be "scrutinized" by the government? I think this whistleblower did the right thing. They got the info out while protecting themself from the wrath of the Obama admin. Justice department.

Even more "fun" if combined with:

False memory planted in mouse's brain


As the technology develops, said French, scientists need to think about its uses carefully. "Whatever means are used to implant false memories, we need to be very aware of the ethical issues raised by such procedures - the potential for abuse of such techniques cannot be overstated."


and:

It's a fool's errand to trust one's eggs to just one basket. The trick is to give the same information to EVERYONE, and in doing so, let them know their competitors have been given the same information such that whoever gets the news out quicker wins the media circus for the day.

Chum the water enough and the sharks will start to attack and eat each other.

They've been doing transcranial magnetic stimulation for over a decade.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...

What makes this one novel is that they are specifically looking for what would technically be a complex process within the brain--narrative. Page 17 shows a mapping of that narrative comprehension network. In the above link, they basically shut down a small portion of the brain on the side of the head to get a "savant-like" effect. In the case of NCN, you've got multiple areas that they are going to attempt to disrupt. Depending on how you look at it, the intention could be for figuring out the importance and relationship of each of those NCN nodes in the brain in better understanding the brain or temporarily sabotaging the NCN for a bit.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a temporary thing. Not permanent. According to this group that specializes in it for the treatment of depression, it takes appointments 5 days a week for 37 minutes each over 4-6 weeks to get a 6 month long reprieve from depression. TMS also requires contact with the skull.

However, in terms of interrogation or "brainwashing", I could easily see it possibly being used for that purpose. Basically, enough time spent with the old narratives down, it could make the mind more receptive to new narratives and etc. Creepy overall.

None of this will work in the end anyway. They will still have to resort to round up, interment and or termination to "purge" society.

TMS is only useful for observing and mapping brain patterns, not controlling them. To have even the mildest effect on brain activity, you need a big-ass heavy-duty coil strapped flush against your forehead. Oh, except the mapping is very useful in its own right. Reap a wide range of responses, and tune your narratives accordingly.

And by what means is the "transcranial magnetic stimulation" to be delivered, eh? Remember, it has to be employed in tandem with the narrative delivery.

Flag and star for this. Wow, just wow. We've entered an age of science that will make current hi tech look like toys from the Victorian era. This is absolute madness and diabolical enough for Ming the Merciless. Not just planting thoughts in our heads but entire narratives ?
Our lives are constructed of stories; our personal trials and triumphs set in a scene of humanity's struggles throughout history. If they can actually change that we are deep, deep trouble. Those who would enslave us can make us believe they are our saviors. Dr. Strangelove step aside!

I recommend that everyone begin studying comparative mythology, comparative religion, and comparative mysticism. Start with the works of Joseph Campbell. The comparative fields can give us the tools to take back control of the story.

People have to learn to be comparativists.

Narrative Haxor Is Open Source

Do your own field tests.

Gang up on the obvious myths. Make collective stories. Bring everyone to the party, and tear the narrative down to its tendons. Put it back together, disambiguate that mofo and own it for ourselves.

Do it right, and watch that sucker spread.

The stories will always belong to us.

Ignore the OP's political affiliations, you can't go wrong with cut and paste, and her source is valid. You'll do yourself a disservice if you disregard the information because of your distaste for the conduit.
