POLICE STATE MIND Everything you know could be wrong little more than re-constructed memories planted by government mind-control programmes. David Guyatt traces the history of thought control experiments and the technology that might shape a future psycho-civilised society The Pentagon's crew-cut communication commandos say that less-than-lethal (LTL) weapons won't kill you, but what they don't tell you is that their new-age, high-tech, armoury has been secretly honed to mind-boggling efficacy and it is your mind that's been scheduled for boggling. Your future shot of non-lethal Novocain might be an electromagnetic field that cocoons your every thought and inserts an inaudible 'command' message directly into your unconscious. The whole caboodle has been lovingly designed to re-programme the way you think and even what you think. Alternatively, at the flip of a switch you might be turned off altogether. Thought can be controlled remotely. There's no need to attach wires or electrodes. Nowadays, the spooks of Langley, Fort George Meade and elsewhere, can hack straight into your brain. This might sound like the rabid fantasising of an X-Files fruitcake, but the technology is out there and so is the will to use it. In 1996, the US Air Force Scientific Advisory Board published a 14-volume study of future developments in weapons called New World Vistas. Tucked away on page 89 of an ancillary 15th volume are some hair-raising insights into the future 'coupling' of man and machine in a section dealing with 'Biological Process Control'. The author refers to an 'explosion' of knowledge in the field of neuroscience, adding, ominously: "One can envision the development of electromagnetic energy sources, the output of which can be pulsed, shaped, and focused, that can couple with the human body in a fashion that will allow one to prevent voluntary muscular movements, control emotions (and thus actions), produce sleep, transmit suggestions, interfere with both short-term and long-term memory, produce an experience set, and delete an experience set."1 Translating the words 'experience set' from military jargon into plain English, this means, simply, that they envisage the ability to erase your life's memories and substitute a new, fictitious set. forteantimes.com
