Verichip , Brain Scanning and the religion of Transhumanism – A sign of the times – A Neo Luddite’s perspective

“I always tell my students that there is no science fiction anymore. All the science fiction I read in high school, we’re doing,”

Paul Root Wolpe, Center for Ethics at Emory University in Atlanta
We have moved past science fiction, in fact if one is following technology trends, Moore’s Law states the long-term trend in the history of computing hardware advances should double every two years, months are not accurate. Moore’s law has gone on a hefty dose of steroids and donned Superman’s flying cape as technology is no longer merely evolving, but being smashed to smithereens with the previous impossible being achieved on a consistent and daily basis. Computer designers are now moving beyond silicon chips to using DNA chips … a move from geologic roots to biologic roots, making the computer a closer representation of man.

The fields that are experiencing ground shaking advance: nano-technology, biometric data capture, Genome sequencing, DNA, and Biochips set a world stage that makes for a scenario that is indeed frightening. As we move into a world where our civil liberties have been eroded and our human rights diminished to fight the invisible morphing ‘enemies’, technology has been given a reprieve to march forward unrestricted. and without regard as to the impact on our lives.   What has happened to our right to privacy which is violated when states interferes with, to penalise

or prohibit actions which essentially only concern the individual? Scholars point out that these rights are underwritten by common and universal law. Hang on a second.. the Dept of Homeland Security is about to make a chess move on the World Trestle  Board. Dept of Homeland security moves Queen XB to Q4! Wow what a move! To quote the DHS lexicon.. People who believe in common law are a rightwing extremist movement who reject the notion of U.S. citizenship. They claim to follow only what they believe to be God’s law or common law, and the original 10 amendments (Bill of Rights) to the U.S. Constitution. “Horror of horrors, these terrorists must be stopped, Al-Qaeda has infiltrated and possessed the US Citizens!

Does it matter that human microchipping is a violation of at least nineteen of the United Nations – Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Well it seems that Wall Street does not answer to the moral and ethic construct… That’s for the birds.

With new laws being rushed into congress and parliaments around the world, movements like: “We The People Will Not Be Chipped” are termed ‘neo luddites’ and ‘technophobic’ by the front men of universities who are nothing more than talking puppet heads promoting elite’s agenda. Department of Homeland Security has labeled movements that don’t embrace technology with a hug, embrace and a cup of tea, as anti-technology extremist ‘terrorists’. So let us put this into perspective, is the government mandating the people roll up their arms and get microchipped? Maybe not right now, but we need to look at the legislation and what is being proposed by world governments so one can prepare and put a stop on what is  the last frontier of human tracking.

The premise that if an advance of technology is achieved that it should be embraced by the general populace, is a ridiculous and illogical premise… but let’s remember these university talking heads who have many letters after their names are much smarter than you. Let’s gloss over the fact their seed funding can be traced to banking empires, titanic multinational companies, government intelligent agencies, elite families and of course the lovely military industrial complex, but none dare call it a conspiracy. If you did call it a conspiracy the Department of Homeland Security has already moved its Queen to a checkmate attacking position on the World Trestle  Board… labeling anyone who receives their news from alternative sources as rightwing extremists. According to the DHS, all media outlets that provide a forum for interpretations of events and issues that differ radically from those presented in mass media products and outlets are a threat to the state. So unless you are Robert Murdoch and watch Fox news as your major news feed, you are a terrorist?  If you are capable of critical thinking and dissect the information feed, you are a terrorist?

Most people would be aware that a human implantable microchip exists namely the IBM seed funded Verichip but let’s gloss over that for a minute and let’s talk about brain scanning. But before we do, let’s use the new speak term for it. fMRI, namely Functional MRI. Functional! Ah don’t you feel better now? It’s functional! It’s not MRI only. fMRI images are used to determined which parts of the brain “light up” when a function such as speech or recognition is performed?

fMRI has marched forward without the majority of the public being unaware that Neuromarketing is already a new field of marketing that studies consumers’ sensorimotor, cognitive, and affective response to marketing stimuli harvested from technologies such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure changes in activity in parts of the brain, and electroencephalography (EEG) to measure activity in specific regional spectra of the brain response.

Once again the analogy that fMRI is not a threat to society is promoted by the ‘benefit approach. Companies will have to spend less on marketing and advertisements if they can read my mind. Better products will be released, the world will have less wastage and cutting edge advances will be made due to less wasteful spending in getting a product to market. World peace will be embraced, Alzheimer’s cured, hunger worldwide will be eradicated, the honey bees’ population will begin increasing again, and I will finally have a purple and yellow polka dot iPod.

Key to fMRI, is RFID and sensor technology that is being heavily researched and promoted once again by the infamous Nazi war criminals, IBM. When IBM Germany formed its philosophical and technological alliance with Nazi Germany, census and registration took on a new mission. IBM Germany invented the racial census-listing not just religious affiliation, but bloodline going back generations. This was the Nazi lust for data. Not just to count the Jews-but to identify them. This data collection then aided the extermination of the Jews and other non compliant races. IBM has never been brought to justice for these atrocities but rather stands tall today as the world’s largest information company, promoting their vision of a controlled world, with their “Smarter Planet’ mantra. Using their IBM Ubiquitous Computing Lab Sensor and Actuator Solutions/RFID Solution Center in South Korea as the test bed market. Advances in sensor technology coupled with fMRI, to measure changes in one’s physiological state (heart-rate, respiratory rate, galvanic skin response) so as to learn why consumers make the decisions they do and what part of the brain is telling them to do it.

Sounds like mind reading doesn’t it? No! No! No! Its not! According to Tom Mitchell from Carnegie Mellon University, “Functional MRI Scanning is not mind reading, its thought identification”. If you believe thought identification is not mind reading; I have London Bridge for sale on eBay with no minimum bid. Of course it’s mind reading, and of course it will serve no benefit to you. The only benefit will translate itself in the heavy shackles on your freedom and free will.  How much more personal can it get than mapping and reading your mind?  Note Tom Mitchell, the talking head is once again fronting a well heeled university seed funded from the steel empire of Freemason, Andrew Carnegie.  It’s self evident, Tom Mitchell is a liar and twisting semantics to serve his masters goals, but that’s how this new world operates. These talking heads will sell out their fellow man for a piece of the devils pie, but passionately lick the boots of the masters who bark the orders down the chain of command.

Can it get any more ridiculous than fMRI? Of course it can and of course it will, as the transhumanists have a lot to say on this matter. Transhumanism among many other things offers mortal man the promise of immortality, of superhuman and even magical abilities! Wow! We can all become an immortal Harry Potter; “bring it on” says the mob.  Transhumanism was first coined by Aldous Huxley’s brother, Sir Julian Sorell Huxley, the evolutionary biologist and First Director-General of UNESCO. If your levels of trust don’t plummet after that, you have not researched eugenics, or the Huxley family. The Father of Transhumanism a eugenicist?  Huxley was a prominent member of the British Eugenics Society and was Vice-President (1937-1944) and President (1959-1962) who favoured removing undesirable variants from the human gene pool. The modern day Transhumanism movement is a sugar coated arsenic pill, delivering the same deadly dose of eugenics. People who ridicule our position have still to produce the evidence that the military industrial complex will produce ‘brain chips’ on mass for the people to ‘outthink’ their fellow man. The military industrial complex will never, ever strengthen the general populace, and to entertain that concept is nothing more than a Transhumanistic Renaissance filled wet dream. Verichip though is manufactured by Raytheon the fifth largest defense contractor, and it’s been clearly evident how Verichip has taken their product to market if you have viewed our short film ‘Operation Lie and Deceive – Verichip Style’. Trust is earned as they say, and we let the body of evidence testify to Verichip’s ethics and moral code.

Nick Bostrom a pioneer in the Transhumanism field has quoted Transhumanism to be “a loosely defined movement that has developed gradually over the past two decades. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and evaluating the opportunities for enhancing the human condition and the human organism opened up by the advancement of technology”

Transhumanists promote concepts such as scanning the human brain to UPLOAD it to the mainframe, which translates to duplicating and transferring your life history, your personality, your memory, your quirks and essentially what makes you, you into a digital ‘reality’. Apart from uploading your ‘conciseness’ into the mainframe, the transhumanists believe that people will want to upload themselves into non biological humans. I for one will not be one of them.

How is it proposed that we can scan the brain? Using nano bots of course that will be injected into your bloodstream and then travel to the brain undertaking the scan and relaying the data back for the upload to occur. Which insurance company will underwrite the brain uploads? Which company will undertake the firewall code? Which company will rewrite the minds that are hacked? Will the human bodies be housed in vats or exterminated after the upload? What company in the IT world will be trusted with the Verification and Validation of this enormous project? Most people are happy with their Windows Vista programs running without crashing, yet we are being told to trust the IT coders with something as serious as uploading of the human mind? Please give me a break and please go bid on my London Bridge listing on eBay right now.

The transhumanists never answer the tough questions, simply because they can’t at this timeline with the technology not being in place. So rather, they focus on the sugar and spice, fluff and cloud, generalised chunked up approach using predictive programming techniques to have their hive mind cyborg agenda embraced by the younger generation. Rest assured, if you are assimilated into the hive via upload it’s to become a drone, not an individual who is unique, autonomous and separate from the collective. It is about control and total control.   Most of the transhumanists who are around today are living in fear they might not see the singularity being achieved so will most likely cryonically suspend themselves so as to be ‘reborn’ into the techno rapture of the Posthuman,H+ world. Even though the transhumanists generally ridicule people who have a faith based religion, their belief system reeks of the same faith based constructs they snootily mock. Nick Bostrom has speculated that we are already living in a ’simulation’ which sounds like another religious based construct to me, a belief in a ‘coding architect’ similar to the Matrix Movie. Others have postulated that if our world is simulated then the “host world” is governed by a different set of physical laws. Hmmm sounds like another leap of faith to me, yet I’m the crazy one according to them.

The transhumanists state intelligent life could become extinct, with widening social inequalities and enormous harm being caused to society in the pursuit of Strong AI and the Singularity, but let’s overlook humanity as some nerd wants to increase his human sensory modalities by introducing sonar capacity to mimic a fruit bat! Yes you Captain Cyborg Fruit Bat! Ian Warwick the poster child of I Cyborg ranted and called for an urgent government debate on the microchipping issue, and proposed ministers should consider implants for all children. The Cyborg Fruit Bat was reported to police, social services in the UK for fabricating half truths and fear mongering parents to have their children microchipped to prevent them being kidnapped.  What a poor representative for their movement , perhaps he should be fired and a new cyborg employed as the front man?

How will this H+, hive agenda be achieved? Hollywood of course will release a flurry of movies as evidenced by Bruce Willis’ new release, The Surrogates encouraging people to plug their consciousness into a machine and living life through a virtual ’surrogate’. The dumbed down mob will watch the propaganda, and the acceptance of this movement will become the new hip thing, with people twittering about their new augmented reality display glasses, getting excited about emoting over the internet using IPV6 through the use of sensors, discussing how their genome was fully sequenced by Google’s 23andme.com, embracing ambient environments that set mood music as they drink a great drop of red wine and clutching feverishly  to their bible, H+ magazine.

We on the other hand who are capable of critical thinking won’t be programmed by this new code regurgitated by the system, clinging to what makes a human real. Our individuality, our uniqueness, our autonomy, our independent thought and our free will.

None of these unique attributes will exist in the hive mind so its time to make a choice. Choose to be assimilated into the cyborg hive agenda, or choose to live free as the unique individual you are.

In closing , Aldous Huxley famous quote springs to mind ,  ‘…anybody who has watched the behavior of rats with electrodes placed in different centers must come away from this experience with the most extraordinary doubts about  what on earth is in store for us if this is got a hold of by a dictator’

The prosecution rests your honor.
