$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')Implanted human beings can be followed anywhere. Their brain functions can be remotely monitored by supercomputers and even altered through the changing of frequencies," wrote Dr. Kilde. "Guinea pigs in secret experiments have included prisoners, soldiers, mental patients,handicapped children, deaf and blind people, homosexuals, single women, the elderly, school children, and any group of people considered "marginal" by the elite experimenters. The published experiences of prisoners in Utah State Prison, for example, are shocking to the conscience.
This kind of crackpot conspiracy theory stuff cracks me up.
The science to interpret brain activity isn't there yet, let alone on any miniaturized scale that could be inserted into the brain unobtrusively. If it was, Nintendo would be selling it as the "Wii Brainwave" controller.
The remote sensing isn't there. Chips implanted in a human would have to be like RFID chips, which are powered by a nearby sensor to emit a very weak (and rather slow) signal. You couldn't be reading complex brain state on the low bandwidths of RFID, and if you had high bandwidths you probably wouldn't be powering it with RFID-like technology.
The ability to write software to track tens or hundreds of millions of people who were so chipped, reliably and robustly, in real-time, isn't there yet. Handling the billions of transactions a second that would be generated would very difficult, and the R&D to do it would doubtless be earning patents and lots of money for the teams doing it.
The government competency isn't there. Be honest; when's the last time you thought to yourself, "Gee, our government really knows what the heck it's doing!"?
I don't doubt people are thinking in that direction, and maybe even spending millions of dollars researching in that direction, but it's not happening today. I'd bet money on it.
