The IBM 2020 Neural Implant
Source: THE PHOENIX PROJECT
Dr. Jose Delgado was hired by the CIA to do
experimentation with miniaturized electronic implants. In a speech
recorded in the February 24, 1974 edition of the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
No. 26, Vol. 118, Dr. Delgado had this to say: "We need a program of
psychosurgery for political control of our society.
The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone
who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated.
"The
individual may think that the most important reality is his own
existence, but this is only his personal point of view. This lacks
historical perspective. Man does not have the right to develop his
own mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. We must
electrically control the brain. Someday, armies and generals will be
controlled by electric stimulation of the brain".
The uninformed may think this sounds like science
fiction but in the May 17, 1965 issue of the NEW YORK TIMES, Dr.
Delgado had reportedly successfully connected electronic implants to
the motor nervous system of a bull and could stop the charging bull in
its tracks by radio control.
In another report Dr. Delgado had
surgically implanted a cat with an electronic implant which could
transmit everything the cat was seeing and hearing to a nearby TV
monitor. Who would ever suspect the cat was a "surveillance bug"?
Well, considering the tremendous advances in large scale
integrated circuits, electronic implants have come a long way since
the sixties.
Some electronic implants are smaller than a grain of
rice and can be injected into the subject via a hypodermic needle. A
recent law was passed in Los Angeles that any lost pets picked up by
the pound had to be injected with a telemetry implant before being
released.
These telemetry implants are electromagnetically
connected to the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system so that if
the pet is ever lost again they can be immediately located by GPS
monitors.
Similar implants can now placed into newborn children at
many hospitals. The selling point to the parents is that the children
can be easily located if they ever become lost.
Ronald Kane, Vice President of CUBIC Corp., a major
manufacturer of implantable chips, while remarking on the chips
profitability, has said, "If we had our way, we'd implant a chip
behind everyone's ear in the maternity ward".
Similarly some Desert Storm troops may have been
implanted with telemetry chips so that their positions could be
located on the field of battle to assist in rescue operations and
minimize "friendly fire" casualties.
THE I.B.M. 2020 NEURAL IMPLANT
But, in view of the early work of Dr. Delgado for the
CIA, the question remains what else might these electronic implants be
capable of doing?
Some idea might be gained from excerpts of a
confidential memo covertly obtained in October, 1995 from: INTELLI-CONNECTION, a Security Division of IBM, 1200 Progress Way,
Armonk, New York 11204:
"CONFIDENTIAL, LIMITED DISTRIBUTION ONLY, LEVEL 9
COMMUNICATION, 2020 NEURAL CHIP IMPLANT.............."Federal
regulations do not yet permit testing of implants on prisoners, but we
have entered into contractual testing of our product. We have also
had major successes in privately owned sanitariums with implant
technology.........In California, several prisoners were identified as
members of a security threat group, EME, or Mexican Mafia.
They were brought to the health services unit at Pelican
Bay and tranquilized with advanced sedatives developed by our
Cambridge, Massachussetts laboratories.
"The implant procedure takes about 60-90 minutes
depending on the experience of the technician. We are working on a
device that will reduce that time by as much as 60%. The results of
implants on 8 prisoners yielded the following:
"Implants served as surveillance monitoring devices for
threat group activity. Implants disabled two subjects during an
assault on correctional staff. Universal side effects in all 8 test
subjects revealed that when the implant was set to 116 Mhz all
subjects became lethargic and slept an average of 18-22 hours per day.
All subjects refused recreation periods for 14 days during the 116 Mhz
test evaluation.....
"Each subject was monitored for aggressive activity
during the test period and the findings are conclusive that 7 out of 8
test subjects exhibited no aggression, even when provoked. Each
subject experienced only minor bleeding from the nose and ears 48
hours after the implant due to initial adjustment.
Each subject had no knowledge of the implant for the
test period and each implant was retrieved under the guise of medical
treatment. The security windfall from the brief test period was
tremendous. Security officals now know several strategies employed by
the EME that facilitate the transmission of illegal drugs and weapons
into their correctional
facilities.....In Massachussetts, the Department of Corrections had
already entered into high level discussions about releasing certain
offenders to the community with the 2020 neural chip implants".
