long ago as 1951 when the CIA decided to coordinate efforts with the army,navy and air force, and project Artichoke was born. A 1952 memorandumdescribes its mission as follows:

• Evaluation and development of any method by which we can get informationfrom a person against his will and without his knowledge.
• Can we get control of an individual to the point where he will do ourbidding against his will and even against such fundamental laws of nature suchas self-preservation?
• How could we counter such measures if they are used against us?

Mind control is performed with a radio technology called telemetry, two-wayradio-communication or remote control, by which a radio wave, when transmittedto and from a radio-implant placed in the brain, head or body, connects thebrain's neuro-activities to a computer where all about a person's life,mentally physically and biologically is uncovered One of the world's foremostauthorities in this field, Dr J M Delgado, wrote in "Physical Control of theMind" (1969) about the extraordinary potential of this technology: "Thepossibility of man's controlling the thoughts of other men has ranked as highin human fantasy as the control over transmutation of metals, the possessionof wings, or the power to take a trip to the moon. Our generation haswitnessed the accomplishment of so many nearly impossible tasks that today weare ready to accept almost anything.

In the world of science, however, speculation and fantasy cannot replacetruth... Memories can be recalled, emotions awakened, and conversationsspeeded up...It is possible to disturb consciousness, to confuse sensoryinterpretations, or to elicit hallucinations during excitation of the brain.It is also possible to induce fear, pleasure, and changes in aggressivebehavior...Science seems to be approaching the possibility of controlling manyaspects of behavior electronically... We are advancing rapidly in the patternrecognition of electrical correlates of behavior and in the methodology fortwo-way radio communication between brain and computers."

One of his colleagues, a Dr Stuart Mackay, author of the book "Bio-MedicalTelemetry" published the year previously (l968) "Among the many telemetryinstruments being used today are miniature radio transmitters that can beswallowed carried externally, or surgically implanted in man or animals. The scope of observations that can be made is too broad to more thanhint at with a few examples. Transmitters introduced through normalbody openings in the human can sense pH in the stomach, the

site of bleeding along the gastrointestinal tract, radiationintensity, the pressure changes in the bladder due to micturition, thepressure of teeth grinding together during sleep, vaginal temperature, and thelike.

Human and subhuman species have been studied, as have aquatic andterrestrial animals, cold- and warm-blooded animals, and so on... In casessuch as the monitoring of the welfare of a diver in the ocean or an astronautin orbit, a continuous flow of physiological information is essential.. . itis hoped that these few preliminary words will give a feeling for the scope ofthis activity... The possibilities are limited only by the imagination of theinvestigator."

Every elderly person who is taken into long term care in Sweden in eitheran old-people's home or a hospital is injected with this transmitter. Itthen transmits a radio wave which penetrates their brains inducing amnesiaweakening their immune system and in general increasing their vulnerability todisease. The medical abuse of connecting elderly people unwittingly tocomputers has been going on for at least ten years, the details beingpublished, along with the picture, in a book entitled "Den maktfullkomligaoforrnagan" (The Despotic Incompetence) by Jan Freese. He was director-generalof Data Inspection for thirteen years and has a thorough knowledge this covertdevelopment.

After the injection of the transmitter researchers take over and use theirlives for experimental studies The interaction between human brains andcomputers is fundamental to the development of the ''information society" andis also the most significant of all state secrets. It is, moreover, quiteplainly a serious violation of human rights, for such systematic exploitationshows a complete disregard for a person's right to privacy as innocent peopleare forced to serve as biological material for excessive and unrestrictedresearch programmes.
