Surviving the Century

gas-mask-numbers

Cultocracy note :

After centuries of gorging at the trough and enriching themselves from mass consumerism , wars and resource pillage the global power players have become increasingly aware that their business model is unsustainable .

There are now only two options available .

Never underestimate the degree of corruption and insanity caused by unrestrained power and greed .

The Final Solution

“Still increasing by roughly 80 million people per year, or more than 200,000 per day , the world population must be stabilized—and, ideally, gradually reduced—within a framework that ensures social integrity.”

“There are proven and effective policies that strengthen human rights while lowering fertility rates……”

“These policies make family-planning services available to all people, remove barriers to their access and achieve full gender equity, including primary and secondary education……”

Surviving the Century

“……..The rapid pace of AI advancements risks increasing the divide between the richest and poorest.”

“Plan B for for CO2 emissions is geoengineering , where we put some kind of dust in the atmosphere……”

“AI systems will become more intrusive and invasive……”

“The money earned by robots will clearly generate huge wealth for individuals…..”

“This wealth will have to be evenly distributed amongst the population…..”

“It is at least on the cards that human beings may become malleable through the deployment of genetic enhancement and cybernetics .”

“It is beyond our Earth that cyber and genetic technologies have the most spectacular scope…..”

“Human intelligence may be superceded by electronic intelligence…..”

“The gap between the way things are and the way they could be is much wider than previous generations .”

British astrophysicist Sir Martin Rees calls for a living wage in the AI era

The Future is Orange

Climate Brain Change

“We will encourage governmental, educational, health, and corporate leaders to use more psychological science in police designs as well as to adopt norms, values, and policy to promote sustainable preventive and corrective behaviors in individuals, groups and communities….”

Genetics

AI , Genetics & Eugenics

Eugenics Lite

“Anxious couples are approaching fertility doctors in the US with requests for a hotly debated new genetic test being called “23andMe, but on embryos.” “

“The company says it can use DNA measurements to predict which embryos from an IVF procedure are least likely to end up with any of 11 different common diseases.”

“The DNA test claims to let prospective parents weed out IVF embryos with a high risk of disease or low intelligence.”

“Right off the bat it raises all kind of questions about eugenics…..”

“Nathan Treff believes even fertile couples might begin to undergo IVF just so they can select the best child….”

“I do believe this is going to be the future…….“

Integrated Stress Response (ISR) and Cognition

“The researchers discovered that hippocampal cells in DS mice had activated what’s known as the integrated stress response (ISR)….”

“Though the ISR can be activated by four different enzymes, the scientists found that only one of them, named PKR, was involved in activating the ISR in hippocampal cells in DS.”

The following articles are all connected .

Behavioral and societal control has now gone into scientific overdrive .

Imagine if you had a little box of chemicals or protein based ‘angel dust’ , which could be used to repress or enhance a particular genetic trait ? Perhaps almost any particular genetic trait ? Perhaps enhance a particular sense ? Perhaps enable rapid tissue healing ? Perhaps enable neural tissue regeneration ?

Perhaps………..

The list is endless .

Inevitably , the tools of mass destruction , control and conditioning have now been turned inwards on the domestic population .

I wonder where the ideology stems from ?

Wrecking Ball

Histerone Chaperone

“It’s long been known that the proteins that package DNA require a chaperone.”

“The FACT protein is an essential type of histone chaperone. “

“These guardian proteins escort other proteins during the deconstruction and reconstruction of nucleosomes, or the structural unit responsible for organizing and packaging DNA. “

“This happens during gene transcription (the step where DNA is copied into RNA), DNA replication (where the entire genome is replicated faithfully) and DNA damage repair (which is essential to prevent disease such as cancer).”

Scientists now know what DNA’s chaperone looks like

The X Factor

“The field of epigenetic research has been making huge strides in identifying the mechanisms involved in controlling how genes are expressed.”

“A lot of effort is put into studying the importance of the genetic code documented in cells, but also of the structure of the chromatin supporting it.”

“Over the course of development, epigenetic mechanisms like DNA methylation and histone modifications can be turn genes on and off several times.”

Epigenetic Switches May Leave DNA Vulnerable

Free Energy Principle

Adam and the Ants

“Through early adulthood, exposure to new experiences—like learning to drive a car or memorizing information for an exam—triggers change in the human brain, re-wiring neural pathways to imprint memories and modify behavior.”

“Now researchers have discovered that a protein called CoRest , a neural repressor that is also found in humans, plays a central role in determining the social behavior of ants.”

“researchers in Berger’s lab showed it’s possible to reprogram, or directly alter, the caste-specific behavior in Major workers by injecting them with a single dose of a histone-altering chemical…”

“While the results suggested epigenetically-encoded behavioral malleability in ants, it was unclear how long the “epigenetic window of vulnerability” remained open.”

“In this study, researchers injected the same histone-altering chemInevitably the tools of mass destruction , control and conditioning have now been turned inwards on the domestic population .ical, a histone deacetylase inhibitor called trichostatin A (TSA)…..”

“…….epigenetic control of JH (Juvenile Hormone) levels was responsible for the natural behavioral differences between Major and Minor workers.”

Research team discovers epigenetic pathway that controls social behavior in carpenter ants

Swiss Gene Knife

“I am most interested in small chemical marks attached to the DNA molecule that do not alter the genetic information itself, but influence what happens to the DNA….”

“In other words, these marks have an epigenetic effect.”

“They serve as regulators of genomic regions that are responsible for the activation and deactivation of genes , such as promoters and enhancers.”

“The analysis of histone proteins by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) in tandem with DNA sequencing then reveals which enhancers are active and which are not.”

“His team hopes the new tool will make the field more accessible as well as accelerate research to help identify the causes of complex human diseases.”

Swiss army knife for genome research

Unfortunately there are some in the scientific community that think the masses are the ‘complex human disease’ .

AI

From Constitution to Algorithm

Cultocracy note :

Now the Pope has weighed in on the rapid advancement of AI , warning of a ‘regression to a form of barbarism’ .

Which could be construed as the destruction of religion and the rise of a new God , perhaps a less benevolent God , in the form of an artificially intelligent machine .

Although personally I think that most organized religions have already completed the job of internal collapse themselves , with a little helping hand of course .

In a new era of asymmetric psychotronic warfare , religious people of any and every persuasion are seen as easy meat for manipulation and mind control .

There are no boundaries in the modern world .

Technocracy vs Religion

“…the “technocratic paradigm” – that promises uncontrolled and unlimited progress will be imposed and perhaps will even eliminate other factors of development, with great danger for the whole of humanity.”

“……..it is possible, as never before, to circulate tendentious opinions and false data that could poison public debates and even manipulate the opinions of millions of people, to the point of endangering the very institutions that guarantee peaceful civil coexistence.”

AI Head Shrinks

“Now, CU Boulder researchers are working to apply machine learning to psychiatry, with a speech-based mobile app that can categorize a patient’s mental health status as well as or better than a human can.”

“In pursuit of an AI version of that blood test, Elvevåg and Foltz teamed up to develop machine learning technology able to detect day-to-day changes in speech that hint at mental health decline.”

“For instance, sentences that don’t follow a logical pattern can be a critical symptom in schizophrenia. Shifts in tone or pace can hint at mania or depression. And memory loss can be a sign of both cognitive and mental health problems.”

“He and his colleagues envision a day when AI system serve as a remote-monitoring system for the severely mentally ill.”

How artificial intelligence can transform psychiatry

Cultocracy note :

The current militarized FVEY based system for persistent surveillance has been in place for decades and works on the principles described in the above article .

There is constant jostling among the alphabet syndicates for ultimate control .

An uneasy power sharing agreement based on totalitarian and authoritarian goals unites every faction .

It is used extensively on human assets and human guinea pigs , along with a vast array of unfortunates , expendables & experimentees . The vast majority of whom are plucked from the ‘lower’ social classes .

Paradoxically the exact same system is also used to promote the symptoms of severe mental illness in a target .

Or worse .

Artificial Brain can See

“Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Tübingen in Germany have built deep artificial neural networks that can accurately predict the neural responses produced by a biological brain to arbitrary visual stimuli.”

“These networks can be thought of as a ‘virtual avatar’ of a population of biological neurons, which can be used to dissect the neural mechanisms of sensation.”

“To test whether the network had indeed learned to predict neural responses to visual images like a living mouse brain would do, we showed the network images it had not seen during learning and saw that it predicted the biological neuronal responses with high accuracy….”

Deep neural networks uncover what the brain likes to see

Cultocracy note :

Hmmmmmm…….I wonder if you could reverse the process and introduce an artificially produced neural visual response to the brain ?

FVEY in Israel

Facial Repression

“US technology company Microsoft says it is investigating whether the use of facial recognition technology developed by an Israeli startup it funded “complies with its ethics principles,” following reports that Israel uses the company’s facial recognition technology for surveillance on Palestinians.”

“AnyVision has come under scrutiny following reports by NBC News and Israeli media that its technology is used to surveil Palestinians who live in the occupied territories.”

Microsoft to probe Israeli company over surveillance of Palestinian

Cultocracy note :

Am I missing something here or aren’t all facial recognition systems ultimately used for surveillance , oppression and control ?

As for the omnipresent surveillance of Palestinians , it could be worse , they could be a Palestinian living in the UK .

Denmark Against 5G

Cultocracy note :

Not surprisingly , many commentators suspect that there has been historical manipulation and suppression of the science surrounding non-ionizing radiation .

More and more scientific studies point to the opposite of the official line .

It could make a person wonder what is there to hide ?

Danish Legal Opinion against 5G

“It is the conclusion of this legal opinion that establishing and activating a 5G-network, as it is currently described, would be in contravention of current human and environmental laws enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, EU regulations, and the Bern- and Bonn-conventions.”

“The reason is the very significant body of scientific documentation available, showing that radiofrequent electromagnetic radiation is harmful and dangerous to the health of humans (particularly children), animals and plants.”

Smart Toilets

“Urine contains a virtual liquid history of an individual’s nutritional habits, exercise, medication use, sleep patterns and other lifestyle choices. Urine also contains metabolic links to more than 600 human conditions, including some of the major killers such as cancer, diabetes and kidney disease.”

“The next step: The Coon Research Group is designing a toilet that will incorporate a portable mass spectrometer that can recognize the individual and process samples across a variety of subjects.”

“…..we’re pretty sure we can design a toilet that could sample urine….”

“Coon, who runs the National Center for Quantitative Biology of Complex Systems, says the idea of meta-scale urine testing has intrigued him for some time…..”

Can ‘smart toilets’ be the next health data wellspring?

Cultocracy note :

Who’d have guessed it ?

I have personally been involved in meta-scale urine testing for quite a while myself .

Honestly .

Just remember – We own you

Cultocracy note :

A trusting and fair ‘collaboration’ between the US military corporate complex (MCC) and Saudi Arabian cash has developed the next potentially game changing microchip .

Carbon Nanotube Chips

“We are now, finally, close to a tipping point in which nanotubes become a serious competitor to silicon in almost all areas of microelectronics.”

“Carbonics employs a deposition technology called ZEBRA that enables carbon nanotubes to be densely aligned and deposited onto a variety of chip substrates……”

“With this exciting accomplishment, the timing is ripe to leverage our CMOS-compatible technology for the 5G and mmWave defense communication markets.”

“Carbonics was spun-out from the joint center of UCLA-USC and King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology and academic funding support from SRC, DARPA and the U.S. Air Force.”

Injectable Electrodes

“With a type of electrode that can be injected as a liquid and then cure in the body, the researchers have laid the groundwork for a new kind of neural interface system.”

“The researchers unveiled their creation, which they’ve dubbed the ‘injectrode‘ .”

“Today’s neuromodulation treatments rely on surgically implanted devices…”

“You can inject the liquid around the nerve, and it cures in the body to create a wired contact….”

“As part of the NIH grant, the researchers are testing a scheme in which they inject the fluid around the nerve, then extrude a thin insulated string of the material back to just underneath the surface of the skin, where they inject more of the composite material.”

“……we’re essentially just routing our connection to this deep nerve back to the surface of the skin.”

Silicone Electronics

“Imagine a handheld electronic gadget that can soften and deform when attached to our skin.”

“The transformative electronics consist of a special gallium metal structure sealed within a soft silicone material .”

“Gallium is an interesting key material. It is biocompatible, has high rigidity in solid form, and melts at a temperature comparable to the skin’s temperature….”

“This universal electronics platform allowed researchers to demonstrate applications such as a multi-purpose personal electronics , a pressure sensor and a neural probe that softens upon implantation into brain tissue.”

Laser Photoacoustic Attack

“We propose a new class of signal injection attacks on microphones based on the photoacoustic effect: converting light to sound using a microphone.”

“We show how an attacker can inject arbitrary audio signals to the target microphone by aiming an amplitude-modulated light at the microphone’s aperture.”

“Light Commands is a vulnerability of MEMS microphones that allows attackers to remotely inject inaudible and invisible commands into voice assistants, such as Google assistant, Amazon Alexa, Facebook Portal, and Apple Siri using light.”

“In our paper we demonstrate this effect, successfully using light to inject malicious commands into several voice controlled devices such as smart speakers, tablets, and phones across large distances and through glass windows. “

“….the range obtained by light-based injection is only limited by the attacker’s power budget, optics, and aiming capabilities.”

Terahertz Laser

“Terahertz waves have frequencies higher than microwaves and lower than infrared and visible light. Where optical light is blocked by most materials, terahertz waves can pass straight through, similar to microwaves.”

“Now researchers from MIT, Harvard University, and the U.S. Army have built a compact device, the size of a shoebox, that produces a terahertz laser whose frequency they can tune over a wide range.”

“By tuning the terahertz frequency, you can choose how far the waves can travel through air before they are absorbed, from meters to kilometers……..”

“…..which gives precise control over who can ‘hear’ your terahertz communications or ‘see’ your terahertz radar……

“You could fit this in your backpack, or in your vehicle for wireless communication or high-resolution imaging………”

I wonder if you could combine the above technologies to create a terahertz laser which can reproduce the photoacoustic effect at long range ?

Imagine the fun you could have with that particular toy .

Ghost Imaging

“……ghost imaging has been limited to stationary objects because it takes a long time to project the sequence of light patterns onto the object that is necessary to reconstruct an image. This causes images of a moving object to appear blurry.”

“……researchers from the National University of Defense Technology in China describe how they were able to combine information in the blurry images with details about the object’s location to create high quality images of moving objects with ghost imaging.”

“The ghost imaging technique forms an image by correlating a beam that interacts with the object and a reference beam that does not.”

“The imaging technique works with visible light, x-rays and other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum…”

“Even if not audible to us, ultrasound is still a mechanical wave and it carries energy through the air. Our system directs and focuses this energy, which can then stimulate your skin to feel content”

Sweet Dreams

Making Memories During Sleep

“……..brief, high-frequency oscillations in the hippocampus—brain waves called sharp wave/ripple complexes—convey information by coupling in synchrony with cortical neurons firing rhythmically in what are called spindle oscillations.”

“Promoting this rhythmic coupling can improve memory consolidation.”

“These unusual waves of rhythmic neural activity are especially active during non-REM (dreamless) sleep…….”

“It is believed that this transfer of information between the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex during sleep links the memory of place with its context.”

In the Club

Cultocracy note :

Technologies of human enhancement have been developed and deployed over previous decades , they are now used extensively in proxy warfare , social engineering and long term political and societal control operations .

Not to mention racketeering and profiteering on a global scale .

The document described below simply seeks to address the legal and ethical aspects of human experimentation in terms of mass usage in the armed forces .

The document does give an insight into the present state of ‘enhancement technologies’ .

The document also gives an insight into the parallel propaganda war currently waged against those who seek to root out the evil which has infiltrated public office . A war of misinformation and disinformation which has now shifted in emphasis and leans more towards the public acceptance of enhancement technologies .

For some , the document may also go some way to answer the modern day issues of ‘Targeting’ and ‘Gang Stalking’ .

Always and forever based on ‘national security’ .

A point , which the public will have to be constantly reminded of .

I am sure many will now be able to gauge the massive scale of human experimentation involved in the plethora of clandestine research programs which have brought us to the point we are at now .

“Neuro corrective” is now a euphemism for crimes against humanity ,

The abuse of the technology is rampant and is primarily used to prop up the current corrupt and rotten systems .

There are also those that perceive the technology as the next logical step in human evolution .

Others see the technology as the only passport out of our Solar System .

The public will have to be spoon fed their own future reality .

Or should that be force fed ?

A few quotes from the report are below .

Super ~~Slaves~~ Soldiers

“The pace of development in cyborg technologies is expected to accelerate over the next 10-15 years , driven by commercial and medical applications .”

“state and non-state adversaries will seek to use the US deployment of enhanced warfighters to undermine US interests and stigmatize the DOD as unethical .”

“Mass media is known for the demonization of cyborgs , from Frankenstein to the Terminator .”

“However fiction can also reflect imaginative applications of these technologies , a better informed public that creates and consumes media related to emerging technologies may help the DoD .”

“In their 2014 study “Our Cyborg Future” Wittes & Chong discuss how the prolific use of cell phones and wearable devices bring technology closer to the human race….”

“…….enhanced humans will likely generate huge amounts of data which makes them uniquely susceptible to targeting and surveillance…..”

“Are an enhanced individual’s capability to monitor , record and communicate conversations and images bound by the same legal frameworks that govern wiretapping and privacy ?”

“Is the misuse of a technology on the part of an employee grounds for deactivation ?”

“Can someone be screened to reveal an enhancement that is NOT visible to a body scanner ?“

“From a national security perspective adversaries may piggyback surveillance and tracking technologies….”

“……if command and control are hacked , the human/machine will be compromised .”

“A known challenge of these technologies is that their cognitive and physical effects can not be known a priori .”

“….unforeseen side effects can be expected .”

“The remapping of neural networks due to an implant will be vastly different than the muscular implants used to receive optogenetic stimulation .”

“Enhancement technologies may be intimately integrated within the human body and enable decades of exchange information with the human nervous system .”

“Initial deployment would likely be in small specialized teams that are extensively monitored for years during and after military service.”

“Many of the enhancements and implants discussed in this report will require a significantly deepened understanding of the brain .”

“Would enhanced individuals be “throttled” when returning to normal levels ?”

“Will these enhancements be “reverse dual-used” in the civilian population for performance optimization or as “neuro-corrective” measures for certain types of behaviors ?”

“The possibility of post-enhancement mental health disorders must be monitored for many years .”

“At all stages , ethical considerations must be at the forefront of the DoD approach .”
“Under what circumstances , if any , could a service member be compelled to undergo an enhancement that has been fielded (i.e. no longer in the R&D stage) ?”

“…The very definition of asymmetric warfare will be forever altered .”

Cultocracy note :

“At all stages , ethical considerations must be at the forefront of the DoD approach .”

Had to laugh at that one .

“…..stigmatize the DoD as unethical…..”

Rolling around the floor .

Don’t worry , any military veterans can just be written off with the old ‘PTSD’ tag , other non-military guinea pigs can simply just be ‘written off’ .

Toxic Nanoparticles

“In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have shown that nanoparticles may have a bigger impact on the environment than previously thought.”

“Nanoparticles (particles that are just a few hundred atoms in size) are ending up in the environment by the ton, but scientists are still unclear about the long-term effects of these super-small nanoparticles.”

“………a common, non-disease-causing bacteria found in the environment, called Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, developed rapid resistance when repeatedly exposed to nanoparticles used in making lithium ion batteries , the rechargeable batteries used in portable electronics and electric vehicles. “

“This research is very important to humans because bacteria are prevalent in our lakes and soil where there is a delicate balance of organisms. Other organisms feed on these microbes and there could be a major effect up the food chain or these resistant bacteria could have other effects we can’t even predict right now.”

Plastic nanoparticles make fish go Hyper

“The researchers observed that a certain type of nanoparticles leads to stress reactions in the sugar balance, resulting in hyperactivity in the fish larvae.”

“The researchers looked closely at what happened to plastic nanoparticles in larval zebrafish.”

“They saw that the plastic accumulation first causes a decrease in the glucose level of the larvae. This is followed by a hunger signal to the brain, after which the cortisol level rises.”

“At the same time, extra glucose is produced, causing the blood sugar level to rise.”

“All these changes ultimately result in a change in behaviour. It turned out that the larvae are up to 50 percent more active in a standard behaviour test compared to larvae without nanoplastics.”

“…it can be substantiated that a similar effect also occurs in humans, because we know that plastic nanoparticles are present in every tissue of our body…..”

“The pair had been named the recipients in February for their work linking glyphosate, the main chemical in the weed killer Roundup, to chronic kidney disease, but the decision was suspended before the award ceremony over concerns raised by other scientists.”

“Jayasumana said at the time he suspected there had been pressure from the agrochemical lobby to undermine their research.”

“He told Mongabay that the lengthy peer review ordered by the AAAS following the suspension had vindicated his and Gunatilake’s work and showed that “science has prevailed.” “

“Gunatilake and Jayasumana received death threats, and twelve scientists who had obtained industry-funded grants filed a research misconduct complaint against Gunatilake.”

Posted on November 5, 2019 by cultocracy

Havana , Cuba – Scary

Cultocracy note :

An update to the Cuban diplomat attack story , or as it is now known in deep state circles , “I think we are losing the war………Nobody can hide from the truth……” .

Yet another article proposes yet another theory for ‘Havana Syndrome’ .

On this occasion an article in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine speculates that the diplomats suffered symptoms akin to shell shock and they were in fact showing symptoms of prolonged fear and trauma .

Not too far from the truth .

Although the author of the paper , one Robert Bartholomew , a ‘leading sociologist and an expert in neurodegenerative diseases’ , does authoritatively state the following :

“What is the more likely, that the diplomats were the target of a mysterious new weapon for which there is no concrete evidence, or they were suffering from psychogenic symptoms generated by stress? The evidence overwhelmingly points to the latter.”

“There have been four separate studies of ‘Havana Syndrome’ to date. Each have critical design flaws including the use of inappropriate controls, inflated conclusions, and a lack of evidence for exposure to an energy source or toxin….”

“None adequately test the hypotheses they propose, while promoting exotic explanations that are not supported by the facts….”

Hmmmmm……..

……..Exotic explanations………Not supported by the facts……..

So there we have it , highly trained , psychologically and psychometrically screened ~~Intelligence Analy…..~~ Cuban diplomats are all crazy , delusional lunatics suffering from some form of collective insanity and maladaptive madness .

Which paradoxically may be true .

It appears that all and sundry are willingly jumping on the bandwagon and throwing in their tuppence .

Anybody would think that Bartholomew had a book or two to sell……..

I can’t wait for the next chapter in this ongoing saga .

5 Insane Quotes From Boris Johnson’s Bizarre UN Speech About Tech

“You may keep secrets from your friends, from your parents, your children, your doctor – even your personal trainer – but it takes real effort to conceal your thoughts from Google.”

“AI, what will it mean? Helpful robots washing and caring for an ageing population, or pink-eyed terminators sent back from the future to cull the human race?”

“In the future, voice connectivity will be in every room and almost every object: your mattress will monitor your nightmares; your fridge will beep for more cheese, your front door will sweep wide the moment you approach, like some silent butler.”

Genetics

Epigenetics

Cultocracy note :

A glimpse into the world of genetic engineering reveals a bull without horns .

I wonder what animals are next ?

Bull without Horns

“In promising news for dairy farmers, researchers have bred what are likely the first offspring from a genome-edited bull. The calves were born without horns, a trait that occurs naturally in cattle but that was given to their father through previous DNA-editing research.”

Bacteria produces Hallicinogen

“Scientists have transformed a common bacterial cell into a psychedelic “drug factory” capable of pumping out copious quantities of psilocybin, the chemical famously found in “magic mushrooms,” according to a new study.”

“We are taking the DNA from the mushroom that encodes its ability to make this product and putting it in E. coli,”

“The scientists assert that their results provide compelling evidence that psilocybin could be produced on an industrial scale for use in psychiatric medications.”

‘Trippy’ Bacteria Engineered to Brew ‘Magic Mushroom’ Hallucinogen

Glyphosate causes Cancer

“New South Wales farmer, Ross Wild, 67, has used Roundup on his mixed farming property in Moama since its introduction in Australia in 1976.”

“Last year, Mr Wild was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and he claims long-term exposure to Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, is to blame.”

First Australian farmer sues Monsanto, claiming Roundup caused his cancer

Hypomania = Death

“A team led by genetics researchers from Harvard Medical School has discovered that a protein named REST helps you live longer by damping down activity in the brain.”

“REST has a reputation as an all-purpose brain protectant. It defends neurons against oxidative stress, an all-of-body inflammatory response triggered by things such as smoking, obesity, and pollution. It can also fend off the amyloid that forms brain plaques in Alzheimer’s.”

“The results were well and truly in – it looks like neural activity really is a regulator of the lifespan.”

Brain activity linked to longevity

Sitting Duck

Cultocracy note :

Regarding brain activity and longevity .

It logically follows that if you required a broad range soft kill method for the deplorables and detestables and the man (or woman) who knows too much then you could simply utilize an untraceable method to crank up the neural activity of a human target .

Perhaps whilst the human target is sleeping or confined in a small space .

Perhaps something similar to a jail cell .

Quantum Computing & Communications

HAL 9000

Cultocracy note :

Quantum supremacy will herald a new phase in the design of nanotechnology materials , materials that are simply too complex to model using traditional computing systems .

At the nano scale quantum effects dominate .

Furthermore , there are those that believe quantum effects are essential for human consciousness , quantum effects which cannot be replicated in traditional computing architecture .

It therefore follows that if you would wish to create a truly intelligent and conscious artificial system then you would require a quantum computer .

The Human Condition

Not at all surprising that NASA was involved .

Quantum Supremacy

“Quantum processors have thus reached the regime of quantum supremacy. We expect that their computational power will continue to grow at a double-exponential rate……”

“……….there really are people who are better at predicting the future than others, sometimes to an incredible degree…….”

“Unfortunately, neither IARPA, GJP, nor any other source we came across while researching this topic, gave any clear advice regarding how to better improve one’s precognitive abilities.”

AI – Artificial Intelligence

Icarus

Cultocracy note :

Large UK based global defence contractors and their affiliated UK intelligence & surveillance organizations are largely subcontracted to the US military corporate complex , which in turn is subcontracted to the global corporate world and city based global financial overlords .

A closed loop of parasitical profiteering and global corruption is thus formed , each organization feeding from the other .

All are ultimately feeding from the wider global taxpaying population .

Heads they win , tails you lose .

Ergo the race for AI requires that UK based contractors have access to as much electronic data as possible .

Your data .

You are now a resource .

Some more than others .

China dominates AI in Europe

“Locked for years in digital alienation, the EU has set a new standard on data protection and privacy, wrestling back some control from Silicon Valley.

“But with the coming of age of AI-based applications, Chinese firms strive in turn for a piece of the colony. “

“China is being described, in Western media, as an unstoppable force touched by destiny to ineluctably become the world- supreme A.I. omni-power .”

Is Chinese A.I. Bluffing its Way into Europe?

Undermining the Mining

Cultocracy note :

As always , the keyword is control .

The claim that Facebook is introducing end to end encryption is laughable and is intended purely to appease privacy conscious Facebook users and maintain market share .

When FVEY want a backdoor , they get a backdoor .

To further develop militarized AI systems the FVEY securocrats require unrestricted access to all of your electronic data .

There are a number of ongoing experimental programs of subtle societal manipulation and control that will be slowed down significantly in the face of true end to end data encryption .

The ability to action data in near real-time is crucial to the development of these programs .

The public is being softened up , again .

U.S., Britain, Australia press Facebook for back door to encrypted messages

The fact that the UK establishment funds and protects a plethora of terrorist organizations and pedophiles is lost in the message , the time honored implication being that you are a terrorist or pedophile unless you support establishment policy .

It should be noted that the EU has been trying to protect your data .

There are those in Europe who already know what your data is being used for .

Predicting Terror

“Data scientist have developed a model that utilizes publicly available data to accurately predict how lethal a terror organization will become in the future based on only its first 10 attacks.”

“The U.S. government spends half a trillion dollars annually to research and combat terrorism.”

“From 2000 to 2015, 61 new terror groups emerged each year, on average, leading to an 800% increase in global terror attacks, according to data from GTD.”

5G & IoT

Surveillance Cameras will be 5G’s largest market

Cultocracy note :

5G is currently at the apex of hype and hyperbole and is causing a bit of a ‘buzz’ .

Recent ‘news’ suggests that 5G has the power to boost the moral of your local sports team .

Probably true to a certain extent , but only if the millionaire who owns Intel and Apple shares becomes a future 5G billionaire and buys your local team and injects a large amount of cash .

Companies are queuing up to cash in on the bonanza , hoping that every man and his dog buys the next 5G ‘thing’ , if only because the man or dog next to him has it .

As many commentators have suggested , the global 5G steamroller style rollout could have a far greater detrimental effect on the natural environment than ‘global warming’ .

There are signs of resistance from an increasingly concerned and educated public .

Many commentators are also starting to wonder why the negative social and environmental effects of technologies such as 5G , gene editing , GM crops , nanoparticle pollution etc……Are rarely mentioned in the mainstream media ?

‘It’s ALive !’ (well…..almost)

It should be noted that 5G could also be made a scapegoat for militarized systems that are already in place , or should that be ‘already in space’ .

Are you ready for your ‘upgrade’ ?

Military Mind Reading

“……the Next-generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology Program, or N³, a $104 million effort launched this year by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA.”

“While Grover’s team is manipulating electrical and ultrasound signals, other teams use optical or magnetic techniques. If any of these approaches succeed, the results will be transformative.”

“Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, have been used to help people with quadriplegia regain limited control over their bodies, and to enable veterans who lost limbs in Iraq and Afghanistan….”

“Both invasive and noninvasive techniques for reading from the brain have advanced since then.”

“So too have devices that stimulate the brain with electrical signals to treat conditions such as epilepsy.”

“Meanwhile, at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), another N³ team is using a completely different approach: near-infrared light. “

“But near-infrared light can travel through bone. Blodgett’s team fires low-powered infrared lasers through the skull and then measures how the light from those lasers is scattered. He hopes this will let them infer what neural activity is taking place.”

“Gaurav Sharma is developing a new type of nanoparticle that can cross the blood-brain barrier.”

“The nanoparticle has a magnetically sensitive core……these nanoparticles are subjected to a magnetic field which then generates a small current…….electric currents can be converted to magnetic fields so the signals can be read.”

“Other N³ teams are using various combinations of light, electric, magnetic, and ultrasound waves to get signals in and out of the brain.”

“Pentagon and corporations like Facebook, which are also developing BCIs, are to address the host of ethical, legal, and social questions a noninvasive BCI gives rise to.”

“This mental manipulation may one day offer a better treatment to millions of patients with psychiatric disorders, like anxiety or depression, who don’t respond to existing therapies. “

“Shanechi arrived on the neuroscience scene almost by accident.”

“Unlike typical deep-brain stimulation that has to be manually adjusted, these devices would monitor a patient’s symptoms and adjust stimulation automatically.”

“What I really enjoy,” she says, “is to see a mathematical concept making its way toward making a difference in people’s lives.”

Toxic Microplastics

“Scientists at the Plastic Health Summit taking place in Amsterdam are revealing groundbreaking research on micro- and nanoplastics, warning of their potentially deadly effects on human immune cells“

“….the University Medical Centre (UMC) Utrecht indicates immune cells that recognise and attack microplastics die quickly as a result of the contact.”

“It was found that 20 per cent of immune cells tested in culture dishes without microplastics died within 24 hours.”

“When immune cells came into contact with microplastics, 60 per cent of the cells died within the same time period.”

New evidence points to microplastics’ toxic impact on the human body

Toxic Fast Food

“PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, refers to a class of chemicals used abundantly in common household items to make objects water or fire resistant.”

“PFASs are commonly detected in foods and food-contact materials (FCMs), including fast food packaging and microwave popcorn bags.”

“It’s unclear at what threshold PFAS begins to take a toll on human health. A number of studies have linked the chemical to cancer, thyroid disorders, hormonal changes, and weight gain.”

“………animal studies have shown PFAS exposure consistently results in damage to liver, kidneys, and the immune system.”

“At many times throughout history, materials and chemicals like asbestos or DDT have not been tested thoroughly and have caused big problems in our environment….”

Nanoparticles & Cortisol

“The researchers observed that a certain type of nanoparticles leads to stress reactions in the sugar balance, resulting in hyperactivity in the fish larvae.”

“They saw that the plastic accumulation first causes a decrease in the glucose level of the larvae. This is followed by a hunger signal to the brain, after which the cortisol level rises. At the same time, extra glucose is produced, causing the blood sugar level to rise.”

“But it can be substantiated that a similar effect also occurs in humans, because we know that plastic nanoparticles are present in every tissue of our body……..”

“In their paper, Johnson and Verdicchio essentially challenge the perception of humanoid sex robots as robotic substitutes of lovers and companions.”

“They argue that although humanoid robots may look and act more and more like human beings in the future, the claim that they will eventually replace humans is far-fetched and far from a certainty.”

“A lot has already been said about them, but we are not quite satisfied to accept them as ‘black boxes‘ that work and give us results without showing us how such results are obtained. Instead, we would very much like to open those boxes for more clarity.”

Cultocracy introduction :

The title of the following introductory article is self explanatory .

The abuse and misuse of current neurotechnology is widespread .

As always , the keyword is control .

The future of mind control

“……..neurotechnology is on the cusp of a major renaissance.”

“The next frontier is really the merging of human cognition with machines,”

“He and Lieber see mesh electronics as the foundation for those machines, a way to design personalized electronic treatment for just about anything related to the brain.”

“Everything manifests in the brain fundamentally. Everything. All your thoughts, your perceptions, any type of disease,”

“Scientists can pinpoint the general areas of the brain where decision-making, learning, and emotions originate, but tracing behaviors to specific neurons is still a challenge.”

“Lieber’s mesh electronics provoke almost no immune response. With close, long-term proximity to the same neurons, the implants can collect robust data on how individual neurons communicate over time or, in the case of neurological disorders, fail to communicate. Eventually, such technology could track how specific neural subtypes talk, too, all of which could lead to a cleaner, more precise map of the brain’s communication network.”

“With higher resolution targets, future electrodes can act with greater precision, eliminating unwanted side effects.”

“In time, they could act like neural substitutes……”

“Such power demands intense ethical scrutiny. For people struggling to combat addiction or obsessive-compulsive disorder, an external pulse regulator could significantly improve their quality of life. But, companies that operate those regulators could access their client’s most personal data–their thoughts. And, if enhanced learning and memory are for sale, who gets to buy a better brain? “One does need to be a little careful about the ethics involved if you’re trying to make a superhuman,” Lieber said.

“Being able to help people is much more important to me at this time.”

China leading controversial genetic research

“If you want to conduct groundbreaking but contentious biological research, go to China.”

“Yet if China is fast becoming the world capital of controversial science, it is not alone in producing it. More babies produced using the “CRISPR” gene-editing technology are now planned by a scientist in Russia, where another researcher is also hoping to conduct the world’s first human head transplant. And Japan has recently lifted its own ban on human-animal hybrids.”

Epigenetics – Shaping Humanity

Scientists reveal epigenetic features of the brain

“The brain’s prefrontal cortex, which gives us our ability to solve problems and plan ahead, contains billions of cells.”

“Scientists have known that much of this diversity results from epigenetics…”

“The structure of chromosomes acts as a sort of cellular fingerprint: although different cell types have the same sequence of DNA, they have different chromosome structures to organize that DNA.”

“At the same time, chemical (epigenetic) modifications to DNA itself—such as the addition of methyl groups to a strand of DNA—also control the timing and levels of gene expression. When a methyl group is tacked onto a bit of DNA, a gene is typically blocked from being expressed.”

“……a new type of Pickering emulsion with the added functionality of ion channels opens up new routes to designing artificial cells and molecular robots.”

“Such systems could eventually be used to develop artificial neural networks mimicking the way the human brain works. “

‘The spread of AI surveillance continues unabated . Its use by repressive regimes to engineer crackdowns against targeted populations has already sounded alarm bells.’

Too true .

It should be noted that the article is slightly biased , the word ‘China’ is mentioned 55 times .

As such I have abridged and simplified the report into a much more concise and digestible format :

“It’s the Chinese……The Chinese I tell ya………The bloody Chinese………Huawei and the Chinese……Run for the hills……The Chinese are comin’……… Aaaaarrrgggghhhhhh……”

Liquid Antenna to Steer Radio Beams

“Being able to focus the energy of a radio signal towards a given receiver means you can increase the range and efficiency of transmissions. If you know the location of the receiver, and are sure that it’s going to stay put, you can simply use an antenna that is shaped to emit energy mostly in one direction and point it.”

“Beam-steering lets you adjust the focus of antenna…It involves adjusting the relative phases of a set of radio waves at the antenna: these waves interfere constructively and destructively, cancelling out in unwanted directions and reinforcing the signal in the direction you want to send it.”

“Different beam patterns, or states, are also possible—for example, you might want a broader beam if you are sending the same signal to multiple receivers in a given direction, or a tighter beam if you are talking to just one.”

“The new antenna’s operating range of 334 MHz to 488 MHz makes it a promising candidate for very-high frequency applications such as IoT and maritime applications”

An update to the Cuban diplomat attack story , or as it is now known in deep state circles ‘Proceed with operation information overload’ .

According to Reuters the US & Canadian diplomats based in Havana were suffering symptoms of pesticide exposure due to fumigation work carried out by embassy workers .

The fumigation was aimed at Zika carrying mosquitoes .

In an astonishing coincidence the mainstream media is now reporting that Cuba was and still is a hotspot for Zika , despite the country apparently ‘missing out‘ in the 2016 ‘epidemic’ .

The same scientific team were unable to explain why only the diplomats and their families (and their pets) suffered from acute exposure whilst there was not a single report of similar symptoms from the local population .

An anonymous spokesperson (wearing dark sunglasses) for the US diplomats was also unable to explain why the insecticide did not kill all of the crickets in the immediate vicinity of the embassy .

The Morlocks

Cultocracy introduction :

A recent light hearted article at Futurism.com titled “7 Ways to Die in the Future” , explores as the title suggests , seven different ways a person may die in the future .

The seven ways of dying described in the article are as follows :

—

1. Boiling from the inside when your off-brand spacesuit springs a leak

2. Getting killed by a sex robot

3. Ceasing to exist when someone unplugs the simulation

4. Impaled on the tusk of a resurrected woolly mammoth at a futuristic zoo

5. The Earth is struck by a six-mile-wide asteroid

6. Perishing in a fiery wreck when internet pranksters hack all the self-driving cars to crash simultaneously

7. Dying in blissful old age after automation and basic income grant you a leisurely life to explore the arts, sciences and hobbies

—

Number seven sounds tempting and enticing , in a slightly sinister Pied Piperish way .

Increased automation may lead to a basic income , but there is no such thing as a free lunch in the modern world , never mind in any future world .

In my opinion the most likely cause of death in a future world will be a slight twist on number three , which should read as follows :

Genetically Mutated

Cultocracy note :

In a significant move this month the German government announced a ban on the use of glyphosate weedkiller . This maneuver can also be viewed as a symbolic rejection of the corrupt globalist practices of the major multinational corporations who seek to profit from poison . Expect other European countries to follow suit , except for the UK , which will soon exit from the European Union . Or will it ?

It will be interesting to see if the proposed ban has a positive effect on the wildlife in Germany , glyphosate is simply a small piece of the overall picture .

Boris Johnson supports GM food

“Boris Johnson has only just moved into 10 Downing Street, yet he’s already bigging-up genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) and speaking out against their regulation – first in his address to the nation as PM and again in his Commons address.”

“The kind of “free trade” deals championed by Johnson and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, will make it easier to export GMOs, protect the intellectual property rights of giant corporations, and lower health and safety standards for consumers. “

Oh…..Did I forget to mention that the research into GM bees is being funded by DARPA……..Gives a whole knew meaning to the term ‘Hive Mind‘ .

Something DARPA already knows a lot about , although obviously not enough .

Dual purpose research at it’s finest .

The Glass Bees

GM Bees

“The spring of 2008 was brutal for Europe’s honeybees……beekeepers in Germany’s upper Rhine valley looked on as whole colonies perished. Millions of bees died.”

“Since the EU began phasing out neonics, in 2014, the honeybees’ recovery has not been as dramatic as hoped. Neonics are probably not the biggest factor in the demise of bees, but they are the easiest to outlaw.”

“Another, more controversial, response to the slump in bee populations is in the works. This is the plan to create a more resilient strain of honeybee – a genetically modified superbee.”

“Crispr technology has transformed microbiology in recent years by allowing scientists to copy a desirable part of the DNA strand and insert it directly into the chromosome of the target specimen. Now, with great precision, scientists can remove harmful mutations or unwanted traits, or insert a desired trait.”

“They want to know why bees are so good to each other. Is this instinct to work tirelessly for the good of the hive something learned, or genetic?”
“Beekeepers fear genetic engineering of honeybees will introduce patents and privatisation to one of the last bastions of agriculture that is collectively managed and owned by no one.”

“Insect Allies, a $45m research project sponsored by Darpa, the US Department of Defense’s military research department. It proposes using insects to carry immune-boosting mutations designed to protect crops from drought, flooding, pathogens and bioweapons. In essence, the visiting insects would modify the plant’s genetic makeup.”

“Darpa does not say what kind of insects it plans to use……“

Quantum Interferometry

“Many highly sensitive measurement techniques are based on monitoring the interference of waves.”

“The most well-known example is the detection of extremely weak gravitational waves generated by colliding neutron stars and black holes using the interference between two laser beams that are several kilometers long.”

“Many scientists are working on extending this technique to the wave functions of quantum objects since this would permit much more sensitive sensing than is possible using classical waves.”

“The device, using Lego-like replaceable drug cartridges and powerful bluetooth low-energy, can target specific neurons of interest using drug and light for prolonged periods.”

“These ‘plug-n-play’ drug cartridges were assembled into a brain implant for mice with a soft and ultrathin probe (thickness of a human hair), which consisted of microfluidic channels and tiny LEDs (smaller than a grain of salt), for unlimited drug doses and light delivery.”

AI Translates Thoughts to Speech

Cultocracy note :

Front corporations are now tasked with taking the fruits of previously top secret clandestine research projects to market .

This fact further suggests that the technology is now obsolete , at least in deep state terms .

Profit has always been the primary motivation behind the creation of ‘intelligence’ agencies .

It appears that now many such organizations are able to reap the profits for themselves rather than tipping up to their oligarchical sugar daddies in the corporate and financial worlds . Treasonous former state employees are now syndicate partners , an increasingly familiar pattern .

Many ‘intelligence’ agencies have now become fully fledged self sustaining and self funding crime syndicates .

Spooky Facebook Mind Reading Research

“The project is the first to decode question-and-answer speech from brain signals in real time“

“…….a team at the University of California, San Francisco, funded by Facebook Reality Labs, has built a brain-computer interface that accurately decodes dialogue—words and phrases both heard and spoken by the person wearing the device—from brain signals in real time.”

“The lateral surface of the human cortex contains neural populations that encode key representations of both perceived and produced speech……”

“Recent investigations of the underlying mechanisms of these speech representations have shown that acoustic and phonemic speech content can be decoded directly from neural activity in superior temporal gyrus (STG) and surrounding secondary auditory regions during listening.”

“Similarly, activity in ventral sensorimotor cortex (vSMC) can be used to decode characteristics of produced speech……”

“Here we demonstrate real-time decoding of perceived and produced speech from high-density ECoG activity in humans….”

“………we acquired neural activity from high-density ECoG arrays that covered auditory and sensorimotor cortical regions……”

“…..we used rtNSR here to present the audio and visual stimuli, process the neural signals, and perform speech decoding in real-time……..”

“This work was funded by a research contract under Facebook’s Sponsored Academic Research Agreement.”

Hallucinating Mice

“Perceptual experiences may arise from neuronal activity patterns in mammalian neocortex.”

“This research starts with the principle of optogenetics……”

“Using a virus to gain access to the mice’s DNA, they spliced the algae gene that encodes this protein into their visual cortices, making it so that the neurons in this portion of their brains would respond to light.”

“Now this is where the fun really begins.”

“The team wanted to use their optogenetic tools to manipulate how mice perceived visual information. But to start, they had to know what the animals were seeing in the first place.”

“Then, the authors used optogenetic stimulation to replicate the activation of these neurons. To do so, they shined near-infrared holograms directly onto the visual cortex of a mouse…”

“We often have little difficulty in remembering the chronology of events. We can tell others how much time passed between two events and which one occurred first. Apparently, memories of events in the brain are linked when they occur close together. Part of the medial temporal lobe, the entorhinal cortex seems to play an important role.”

Sound Effects – Acoustic Weapons

Posted on August 12, 2019 by cultocracy

Colors of Noise

The ‘Cuban Diplomat’ Attack story has generated increased mainstream interest in modern WMD’s (weapons of multi-frequency debasement) .

An interesting presentation at this years DEF CON hacking convention explores the vulnerabilities in many modern day gadgets and electrical devices . The presentation explains that many devices , if not all devices , can be compromised and controlled to produce weaponized frequencies .

The presentation is titled ‘Sound Effects Exploring acoustic cyber – weapons‘ and was authored by University College London Phd student Matt Wixey .

Sound Effects Exploring acoustic cyber – weapons (PDF)

The research expands on a previous presentation by Mr. Wixey titled ‘See no evil, hear no evil : Hacking invisibly & silently with light & sound‘ .

DEF CON 25 – Matt Wixey – See no evil, hear no evil (Video)

A few abridged quotes from the PDF version of the presentation are below .

‘Sound Effects Exploring acoustic cyber – weapons’

What can we hear ?

Ultrasound & infrasound: above/below human hearing threshold

This is a misconception: thresholds vary widely

Sound may be perceived as vibration

High frequencies may have adverse effects :

Neurasthenia, cardiac neurosis, hypotension, bradycardia, functional changes
in CV and CNS

Adverse physiological effects of High Frequency Noise (HFN) :

Neurasthenia, cardiac neurosis, hypotension, bradycardia, functional changes
in CV and CNS

Adverse psychological effects of HFN :

Nausea, fatigue, headaches

Tinnitus and ear pain

Somnolence, dizziness, palpitations, decreased concentration

Adverse physiological effects of Low Frequency Noise (LFN) :

Heart ailments, chronic insomnia

Elevated cortisol levels

Adverse psychological effects of LFN :

Headaches and palpitations

Deterioration in performance & productivity

Lower levels of cooperation & agreeableness

Depressive symptoms & distress

Even at very moderate levels

Sound in security research

Covert communications channels (HFN)

Covert mesh networks

Mobile devices

Many consumer devices capable of emitting HFN

Hypothesis

Could an attacker develop malware or attacks to :
–
Cause a device to emit HFN or LFN…
–
… at levels at or exceeding those in maximum permissible guidelines…
–
… and therefore cause adverse effects?

Implications – headphones ;

Audio manipulation attack could also succeed with headphones

Implications – parametric speaker ;

May be attractive as a portable, low – cost acoustic weapon

Implications – Bluetooth and smart speakers ;

Could be used to produce LFN consistent with annoyance

Conclusion

Limitations

Constant emission of HFN/LFN may degrade audio equipment

No human experimentation on perceptibility/susceptibility

Summary

As digital and physical worlds become more integrated

Attackers may become increasingly interested in leveraging vulns against humans

Cultocracy conclusion :

Think of your entire collection of gadgets and gizmos , including wired connections and electrics , as an entire orchestra .

An orchestra that can be remotely conducted and choreographed to produce any required performance .

The presentation by Mr. Wixey barely scratches the surface of the technological capabilities available to deep state agencies and their hired hands .

Remotely delivered torture and termination tactics are commonplace in the modern world .

Sometimes they do it just for fun .

Hmmmm……Independence ??!!??!?!?!?

I heard that word mentioned once , think it was my grandfather , who was talking about his great grandfather , who was talking about his great great grandfather , who was talking about……

France also wants a new ‘Space Command’ , just like the US .

A suspicious mind may think this was somehow connected to the ‘Yellow Vest’ protests .

Or maybe the cause of the Yellow Vest protests .

Or maybe neither .

Or maybe both .

Countermeasures are now deemed a necessity .

Expect the French push to balloon into a Europe wide effort .

Minus the UK .
