There are sinister things afoot. The more that is discovered, the more danger we are put in. An example of this is a new, so called, game controller that is being developed by a Japanese company. You would think that there could be nothing more benign that this, would you? How many people do you know that were killed, or even harmed by a joy stick? But here is where it isn't funny anymore. The controller is in a head set which gives off a sensation similar to the feeling of being drunk or under the effects of anesthesia. It is called Galvanic Vestibular stimulation and controls the nerves inside the ear. Because of this control, you can be made to veer in different directions, even if you don't want to. What we don't know is if this is even harmful to you in the long run. Now imagine that there might be military implications for a device like this. It might be put under the skin of soldiers so they can't rip it off. It might even be much more sophisticated and be able to make us do many other things we don't want to. I bet this thought hasn't escaped the military planners. It has been suggested that a beam weapon might be developed that will shoot electrical impulses at the ears of people to "control" them in a non lethal way.

Medical implants are also getting more sophisticated as time goes by. But some people are getting truly worried about some of these devices. As computer chips get more advanced and also smaller, they are easily hidden in larger devices. Could an implant also contain a secret chip with an unknown and maybe ominous purpose? Some people are saying that you are in danger of a chip implant when ever you go into the hospital or even visit a doctor. But even they agree that only certain targeted people might be at risk. After all, the shadowy forces that would be responsible for causing a chip to be implanted in someone are not interested in wasting chips on 99% of us. Think of it, what could they find out by placing a chip in the local grocery clerk or auto mechanic unless, they were involved in high security matters? But I am assuming that the chip would be some sort of surveillance device, but maybe it wouldn't be. It could have some other dark purpose, such as forcing someone to do something that these secret agencies wanted done. A example of this are the suicide bombers of today. They have to be indoctrinated and this wastes much time, and not all may be willing to blow themselves up, but if you could program them to do it by just implanting a chip, you might have 100% instant participation. You could make an assassin out of anyone. A chilling thought isn't it?

Will it be possible, in the future, to put a device in a plane and fly overhead and beam down a type of wave that will control the minds of the people below? It may already be in development along with many other different types of these devices. Aside from this, it is now being suggested that it is possible to read peoples' minds and this is going on secretly in the most hush hush of government agencies. We already know that computers are capable of being controlled by paralyzed people using only their thoughts to move the cursor, so is mind reading so far fetched? It just might be a case of 'tuning' into a brain's frequency with a very high powered receiver of some type. After all the brain is electrical, it is just that it's signals are very weak as compared to any other electrical device such as a cell phone.

But there are other ways of controlling people or at least making them more susceptible to suggestion. These are chemical methods. This may be the end to which chemical tests using drugs like LSD were carried out on unsuspecting people in the military in the late 1940s through the early 1960s. The purpose of the tests were said to be mind control, but that can never be proved. Let's assume that it was, as indicators seem to show that. Was the military looking for a way to be able to find a product that they could slip into food or drink and gain control of an individual, it seems so.

Mind control has been the dream of many governments and leaders the world over for hundreds of years. Think of it, if Napoleon had an army that would obey his every command and never retreat and wasn't scared of death or at least had no choice of action, he may have conquered Europe. If Adolph Hitler had troops that would always do and not think, they may have beat the Soviet hordes. If we would have had troops that would have killed without question and without regard to their own safety we may have won in Vietnam.

I must say that the world is getting scarier by the day. Let's hope that saner heads will prevail and some of these technologies will never be put to use.
