Nothing personal

I must admit that every time I go though the words on that Russian site I feel a twinge of conscience. They seem a bunch of decent people and even wanting to help others. I have attacked them severely, but that was not out malice. To me any tool which can covertly enter the human mind and alter it is demonic. There is nothing personal in it. May be this world is not the same anymore, may be everything is changing. May be it is as they said, I have not fully understood what they are about. They are marketing a technology which has been in the making for more than two decades. May be as they claim sweat and blood was spilt to make it happen. I certainly would not want to put a spanner in their wheels. They have as much a right to market their product as anyone marketing guns and RDX have.

But that being said weapons like that maim and kill only a few (Not that killing is good, though there are duds enough in this world I want to dispose off). They don’t create Zombies in their wake. But psycho-semantic tools do. They infringe upon everything that we hold decent and sacrosanct. We have enough of control already; we are being led like lambs to the altar of our own destruction as human beings. The market and their lords do not view us as individuals; they view us as prospective idiots who are there to offer them more money and control.

You believe that I am talking rot do you? The other day I was in Emile Zapata’s site (Of the Mindguard fame). He has a test by which you can know how controlled you really are. The program shows you a certain number of logo’s and checks how many you can recognize. Now I do not live in the west, I don’t often watch the TV now even, but I could recognize most of the logo’s in the test. If I scored very high like that just imagine what the guys in the west are made to take in. Every image and word you see and hear comes loaded with the suggestions that they are more near to you than your loved one.

Well coming back to what Naomi C. Pattirane said in her comment, my friend could be a prey to the methods she suggested. But they have to be more sophisticated than the tools mentioned in the Russian site. Alan Yiu had hinted that there were methods by which a person’s mental activity could be monitored from outside with help of computers. This was in the late 70’s I think. You can’t dismiss all that as paranoia. Anyway if there was any effort to discover the trigger words inside him it was never done by placing him in front of a computer like the Smirnov technique does. The perps may have found them using the hit and miss method of watching him, asking his near and dear about it and testing the efficacy of the words/images in real situations.

If the Smirnov’s tool is used on anyone, it effectively lessens the force of the talk-back strategy that I suggested in my earlier post. You can’t talk out a CD player. But the matter is not as hopeless as all that. The internal dialog still keeps you alert. It questions every promptings from within you. Every inner suggestion has to come out into the conscious to get enacted.

Let us talk about this in more detail in the next post
