Department of Homeland Security Considers Mind-Control Tech
The technology, called Semantic Stimuli Response Measurements Technology (SSRM Tek), is said to gauge a subject's involuntary response to subliminal messages. Images are shown to test subjects who press buttons in response. SSRM Tek supposedly measures those responses and understands what the subject is thinking subconsciously.
One obvious application of the technology may involve security checks at airports. Based on subjects' responses to the images and messages, "clean" respondents would be allowed through while "suspect" individuals would be taken through further testing.
Geoff Schoenbaum, a neuroscientist at the University of Maryland, dismisses PRI's technology, saying that modern neuroscience is just now trying to figure out how rats learn that a light can predict food. In reference to the idea of subconsciously sensing a person's intentions, he said, "If we could do [what they're talking about], you would know about it, it wouldn't be a handful of Russian folks in a basement."

The people in this country have been complaining about being nonconsensual test subjects for this technology for years. If you go to Sharon Weinbergers recent article where she visited this place it states that htis is more dangerous than the nuclear bomb. Go to the Psychotechnology Laboratory Research webpage and then call your senators and complain about this technology. It works remotely and is being used by the NSA and other intelligence agencies. The people with the so called aluminum hats have first hand knowledge of the abuses that can happen under the direction of these lunatics using the technology.

The U.S. government has failed in the obligation to protect against an invasion of illegal criminal aliens. Now embark on a "RAPE for the MIND", to borrow a term from Dr. Joose Meerloo.
I'd rather that Homeland Security enter group counseling sessions led by Mr. Lou Dobbs of CNN in order to control of an invasion of illegal criminal aliens in the Homeland.
American taxpayers' are being "hosed". The USA is being "sold-out" by greedy politicians on ALL levels - both Democrats and Republicans.
U.S. citizens should recall the wisdom of the late President Dwight Eisenhower who admonished us to beware of the complexity of Military and Industry.
Would Eisenhower approve of so-called SSRM "experiments"?
Executive Order of August 17, 1955 promulgated: "I will never forget that I am an American {fighting man), responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America".
