'Matador' With a Radio Stops Wired
Bull
1965-05-17, New
York Times
http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20817F9395812738DDDAE0994DD4...

The
brave bull bore down on the unarmed "matador" -- a scientist who had
never
faced a fighting bull. But the charging animal's horns never reached the
man behind the heavy red cape. Moments before that could happen, Dr. Jose
M. R. Delgado, the scientist, pressed a button on a small radio
transmitter in his hand, and the bull braked to a halt. Then, he pressed
another button on the transmitter and the bull obediently turned to the
right and trotted away. The bull was obeying commands from his brain that
had been called forth by electrical stimulation -- by the radio signals
--
of certain regions in which fine wire electrodes had been painlessly
implanted the day before. [Experiments] have shown, he explained,
that "functions traditionally related to the psyche, such as
friendliness,
pleasure or verbal expression, can be induced, modified and inhibited by
direct electrical stimulation of the brain." For example, he has been
able
to "play" monkeys and cats 'like little electronic toys" that yawn, hide,
fight, play, mate and go to sleep on command. With humans under
treatment for epilepsy, he has increased word output sixfold in one
person, has produced severe anxiety in another, and in several others has
induced feelings of profound friendliness -- all by electrical
stimulation
of various specific regions of their brains. "I do not know why more work
of this sort isn't done," he remarked recently, "because it is so
economical and easy." Monkeys will learn to press a button that sends a
stimulus to the brain of an enraged member of the colony and calms it
down, indicating that animals can be taught to control one another's
behavior.

this technology can be used for good purposes, it also can and secretly

Professor Feels Himself Become Closer to the
Machine
1998-09-23, ABC
News

When
Kevin Warwick enters his office building on the campus of Reading
University, strange things happen. As Warwick heads down the main hall,
lights turn on. When he turns to the right, an office door unbolts and
opens. Each step is clocked and recorded. The building knows who he is,
where he is, and what he expects to happen. The building [even]
says, "Hello Professor Warwick." The structure knows Warwick
because of the electrical fuse-sized "smart card" implanted in
his left arm. In Britain, he's been dubbed "The Cyborg Man,"
the first person known to have a microchip implanted in his body
for communication with outside machines. Warwick predicts chip implants
will one day replace time cards, criminal tracking devices, even credit
cards. Capable of carrying huge amounts of data, they may, he says, one
day be used to identify individuals by Social Security numbers, blood
type, even their banking information. No one knows yet how the body will
respond to this type of invasion. Warwick is not blind to the ethical
questions of this technology. Implants ostensibly designed to clock
workers in and out might be misused to monitor where people are at all
times and who they are meeting. Governments could move to use implants
instead of I.D. cards and passports, but what would stop them from using
this new science to invade privacy? "I feel mentally different. When
I am in the building I feel much more closely connected with the
computer."

Note:
Those who would like to control the public named these implants
"smart cards" to encourage us to accept them. For more reliable

An Orwellian solution to kids skipping
school
2007-02-20,
Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Atlanta's leading
newspaper)
http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/opinion/stories/2007/02/19/0220truants.html

Let's
say your teenager is a habitual truant and there is nothing you can do
about it. A Washington area politician thinks he might have the solution:
Fit the child with a Global Positioning System chip, then have police
track him down. "It allows them to get caught easier," said
Maryland Delegate Doyle Niemann (D-Prince George's), who recently
co-sponsored legislation in the House that would use electronic
surveillance as part of a broader truancy reduction plan. "It's going to
be done unobtrusively. The chips are tiny and can be put into a hospital
ID band or a necklace." Niemann's legislation mirrors a bill sponsored by
state Sen. Gwendolyn Britt (D-Prince George's). Both would provide
truants
and their parents with better access to social services, such as mental
health evaluations and help with schoolwork. Electronic monitoring would
be a last resort. Still, the prospect of tagging children and using them
in some "catch and release" hunt by police casts a pall over everything
that's good about the plan. Odd how billions and billions of dollars keep
going to a war that almost nobody wants, but there's never enough to fund
the educational programs that nearly everybody says are needed. Aimed
solely at students in Prince George's -- the only predominantly black
county in the Washington area -- the truancy effort is called a "pilot
program," a first-of-its-kind experiment. It would cost $400,000 to keep
track of about 660 students a year.

Live rats driven by remote
control
2002-05-05, The Guardian (One
of
the U.K.'s leading newspapers)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,708454,00.html
Scientists
have turned living rats into remote-controlled, pleasure-driven robots
which can be guided up ladders, through ruins and into minefields at the
click of a laptop key. The project ... is funded by the US military's
research arm. Animals have often been used by humans in combat and in
search and rescue, but not under direct computer-to-brain electronic
control. The advent of surgically altered roborats marks the crossing of
a
new boundary in the mechanisation, and potential militarisation, of
nature.
In 10 sessions the rats learned that if they ran forward and turned left
or
right on cue, they would be "rewarded" with a buzz of electrically
delivered pleasure. Once trained they would move instantaneously and
accurately as directed, for up to an hour at a time. The rats could be
steered up ladders, along narrow ledges and down ramps, up trees, and
into
collapsed piles of concrete rubble. Roborats fitted with cameras
or
other sensors could be used as search and rescue aids. In theory, be put
to
some unpleasant uses, such as assassination. [For] surveillance
... you could apply this to birds ... if you could fit birds with
sensors and cameras. Michael Reiss, professor of science education at
London's Institute of Education and a leading bioethics thinker ... said
he was uneasy about humankind "subverting the autonomy" of animals.
"There
is a part of me that is not entirely happy with the idea of our
subverting
a sentient animal's own aspirations and wish to lead a life of its own."


Note:
Remember that secret military projects are almost always at least a
decade

Radio frequency identification keeps tabs on
goods, services, pets - even people
2006-05-11, Sacramento Bee (the leading
newspaper of California's capital city)
http://www.sacbee.com/content/lifestyle/story/14254188p-15069873c.html
Feel like
you're being followed? Maybe it's a tracking tag on your jeans or one
implanted in a credit card. The tags are called radio frequency
identification or RFIDs, and every day they are becoming more and more a
part of our lifestyle. These Orwellian microchips, as minute as a
grain of sand, identify and track products and even lost children at
theme
parks. They're being implanted in humans to alert hospitals
about
medical conditions. The tags can be so tiny, you may never know they are
there. Retailers claim RFIDs are essential: alerting them when they're
low
on lipstick, air filters, sodas and other inventory. Embedded tags
aren't
so obvious. Hitachi Europe recently developed the world's tiniest RFID
integrated circuit, small enough to be placed in a piece of paper. Some
RFID chips are made to be imbedded in livestock, in pets and most
recently
in humans for a variety of reasons. RFID prices have dropped, and tagging
has become practical for businesses. In-Stat, a high-tech research firm,
reports more than 1 billion RFID chips were made last year and predicts
that by 2010 the number will increase to 33 billion. Slightly larger than
a grain of rice, RFID chips from VeriChip of Florida are manufactured for
implanting in humans. The Food and Drug Administration approved human
implants two years ago.

Technology gets under clubbers'
skin
2004-06-09, CNN
News
http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/06/09/spain.club
Queuing
to get into one nightclub in Spain could soon be a thing of the past for
regular customers thanks to a tiny computer chip implanted under their
skin. The technology, known as a VeriChip, also means nightclubbers can
leave their cash and cards at home and buy drinks using a
scanner. The bill can then be paid later. Clubbers who want to
join the scheme at Baja Beach Club in Barcelona pay 125 euros (about US
$150) for the VeriChip -- about the size of a grain of rice -- to be
implanted in their body. Then when they pass through a scanner the chip
is activated and it emits a signal containing the individual's number,
which is then transmitted to a secure data storage site. The club's
director, Conrad Chase, said he began using the VeriChip, made by Applied
Digital Solutions, in March 2004 because he needed something similar to a
VIP card and wanted to provide his customers with better service. He
said
10 of the club's regular customers, including himself, have been
implanted
with the chip, and predicted more would follow. "I know many people who
want to be implanted," said Chase. "Almost everybody now has a piercing,
tattoos or silicone. Why not get the chip and be original?" Chase said
VeriChip could also boost security by speeding up checks at airports, for
example. He denied the scheme had any drawbacks. The VeriChip is an
in-house debit card and contains no personal information.

Note:
Why is the media so upbeat about this? The article raises very few
questions, yet seems to promote microchip implants in humans as the wave
of the future for commerce.
