The former Director of the Swedish secret police, Mats Borjesson, the oneresponsible for the implantation of the mushroom transmitter in RobertNaeslund's head.

The situation we are witnessing today is not unlike that of earlier periods inthe history. Ruling groups try to benefit from new possibilities in thepreservation of power and the development of their own interests. Even thistime, it is also a matter of economic benefits, social rights and privateprivileges; consequently the public is kept in a state of ignorance as to theactual implications of the information society and the real fruits to beharvested from computer technology.

In "The information Society" we can get an idea of the potential forsocial compulsion if the technology develops in the direction it has clearlyalready started. That individual citizens are forced to serve computers, beingdenied any access to the information networks or knowledge about the statemachinery of neurological control.

Further alienation may result from the use of computer-communicationtechnology to create a managed society. The managed society would operate insuch a way that ruling elites would guide the `managed' (persons and things),using information networks as control mechanisms. It therefore follows that acomputer-managed society may become inhuman, or alienated from humanity. Acompletely automated state would be an intellectual ice age, devoid ofhumanity, in which a handful of data manipulators would dominate as an

intellectual elite."

The US Senator John Glenn expressed his opposition to the use of human beingsin these experiments and he wrote in a news-letter 1994

"...Today the Governmental Affairs Committee holds the first in whatwill likely be a number of hearings into the government's secret radiationexperiments. What human radiation experiments are going on now? And what arethe protections for the people involved...What actually happened during thehuman radiation experiments conducted in the past? ...To allay fears andrestore shaken confidence, there are three areas we must investigate...l hopeto be able to assure people in my home state of Ohio, and those around thecountry, that their governments are no longer conducting experiments unknownto the individual."

We can find no more suitable description of the technological exploitation ofpeople than that given in this English-Japanese dictionary.

Almost nothing has been said about the great benefits the technology couldgive to mankind if it was used for its welfare. Alva Myrdai MP, who leads theSwedish state inquiry entitled "On Choosing the Future" brieflydiscusses the issue, suggesting that the behavioural sciences could contributeto teaching people to master the tools themselves, the difficulty being tocreate the economic and institutional conditions necessary to provide generalaccess to the process in as democratic a way as possible.

"Mankind 2000" mention how positive programming could be used onpeople who are already part of the brain-computer system. Silvio Ceccato ofthe Centro Cibernetica at the University of Milan, writes that,

"We could even make models of good behavior with which we could compareourselves. Then we would see true gentlemen in the streets, The second is thatwe could use this new knowledge to start utilizing the potential of the brainwhich has not yet been exploited."
