already begun to use the technology they now claim aliens are threatening ourplanet with . At that time, it was quite common that researchers as Dr. DavidKrech, professor at Berkley University who, in an interview in New York Timesreasoned thus: "I don't consider myself guilty of exaggeration when Isay that what our research may reveal might have even more seriousconsequences than the, in all senses, disturbing advancements in atomicphysics. We can not let it happen that we suddenly find ourselves in thesituation of having to admit to being taken foolishly unawares, naivelysurprised and filled emotionally with publicly declared feelings of guiltabout what we have done."

These days it is much more common to associate the danger withextraterrestrials and their abduction of humans, as in the bestselling book"Aduction" by John E. Mack, professor of Psychiatry at CambridgeHospital and Harvard Medical School, who remains one of the foremostperpetrators of the alien-threat illusion. He argues that knowledge of theseabduction stories is even necessary for our understanding of our place in theuniverse, and our identity as species of this planet. He claims that thisis one of the most important issues of today and of the future; and throughhis books, he has become one of the world's leading authors of the myths aboutaliens abduction and radio-wave brain experimentation. He is also thefounding director of the Centre for Psychology and Social Change and that iswhat he's contributing to through his books, that mankind is not to understandfrom where the real threat is coming and that the

experimentation on people under brain-computer systems is to be put down toalien abduction.

As usual, colleagues contribute to the reinforcement of the message by givingit significant attestations and authorities explanations on the subject. In areview of "Abduction" by Dr. Richard Tarnas printed on the jacket declares:"Only once in a great while does a scientist encounter evidence thatchallenges our fundamental understanding of the cosmos and humankind's placein it." Another of his colleagues, George Vaillant, M.D. of theHarvard Medical School adds that "Abduction is a book that repeatedlyleads the reader to psychologically important of wonder about worlds beyondour ken." What professor Mack's book is about has nothing to do withfacts or at all an actual threat, but the disinformation he wants to establishin our minds about the ongoing political scientific developments that we areheading without peoples knowledge about it.

In the book "Kontroll au indiuiden" (The Control of the Individual)published in 1972, Nordal Akerman writes that, "The politics of control,the repressive tendency, are already with us in prognoses assessment andplanning policy. It is being driven on by developments in technology,continually creating moral problems that we are ill-prepared for...And howwill this extensive array of instruments of control be applied and assessedwithout the brutalization of society and further alienation between socialgroups." Twenty-four years later we can find his visions quite correct.

Brain-computer systems are not just a medical issue, but also a political oneand as Dr. Peter Westerholm said in his speech at the Ministry of Justice in1986, they are a fusing of citizens and the state institutions, and are as hetold it, part of a political process. There are several different perspectivesfrom which one can view the situation. In March 1986, the professor AnnaChristensen wrote an article in Dagens Nyheter, called "Science BlindSpot about "... the inherent tyranny of this structure, whichseparates the world into administrator and administrated and transforms maninto an administrative object. Both large and small scale research of thistype is constantly being conducted within both science andadministration...They are driven by the same passion to "map" that world whichcomprises people's thoughts and deeds...Blinded by its good intentions, theyare unable to see the tyranny inherent in
