Abstract
With the coordinated global release of the Covid-19 narrative in late 2019 and the subsequent illogical demands of governments — allied with transnational organisations and pharmaceutical giants — many people around the world began questioning the hasty, unprecedented, and sweeping technological and technocratic changes being made to societies in the name of a highly marketed “medical emergency”. Despite new policies emanating from authorities to isolate, to mask, to restrict all social contact, to accept without question unique experimental gene- and nanoparticle-based injections, and to abide by novel and absurd social norms, many people pushed back against the apparent tyranny. The more enthusiastic that governments were in deleting civil rights, suppressing freedom of speech and due process, the more that people sought to expose the story behind the mainstream Covid-19 narrative. This article, the first in a series of four, considers that story as it intersects with the trajectory of transhumanism. Here in Part 1 we examine how the current uninterrupted global push for a total top-down alteration of humanity, of human biology, of human emotions, and social relations, relates to a philosophy and history of well-funded and highly efficient business and military operations framed as necessarily rational and inevitable. We address the obfuscatory meanings of transhumanism so far propagated, and begin uncovering transhumanism’s roots in the military-intelligence complex, taking NASA and its purported demand for cyborgs in space as our starting point. With a focus on primary sources and military-intelligence material, we lay the foundations for the subsequent three articles in the series, which offer an alternative possible way of understanding the current unfolding process as one aimed at transforming human beings from natural and sovereign creatures to controlled synthetic forms of life.

Introduction
In these times of great political, economic and societal uncertainty, we can be certain of one thing. Communities across the globe are beset by all the insidious forces of radical change that wo/men in power can dream up for the people they pretend to speak for and rule. The forces of change rank in the command and control of a larger war striving at every turn to camouflage the long-planned transition of humankind. Everything is subject to capture in the programs of transformation for nationhood, personhood, personal identity, agency, and sovereignty. Some people recognise the tensions and the weapons deployed to bring about total captivity and change. Others deny the evidence of the campaigns waged against them.

The difference between these extremes might be explained by the most contested space in the present war — the struggle for the heart and mind. As Edward Bernays reminds us, the mind must be continuously occupied, “every bit as much as an army regiments the bodies of its soldiers”.[1] Fear and a deep sense of urgency, therefore, must be engineered so the projected sacrifice of bodies will, in the final tally, be found justified. So it is, also, with warnings issued to people today that we must be on edge and ready to confront the threats posed to the environment by our own diseased bodies, carbon footprints that must be reduced, poisoned ecosystems, and the intelligent machines our self-proclaimed masters fund and deploy for our “salvation.” The trans-human turn into a post-human world, populated by compliant cyborgs, is claimed as an inevitable step in directed evolution. “Enhanced” humans, the technocratic PR assures, will possess new superhuman abilities and will defeat their own mortality with routine nano-upgrades.

How are we to contend with such antihuman operations conspiring against us? In the words of Elon Musk, we must merge with machines to avoid becoming like monkeys.[2] ’Futures’ strategist to the Rockefeller Foundation and Chinese Department of Education, Michell Zappa,[3] similarly warns that humanity has “no other option than to be dragged, kicking and screaming”, to the “precipice” of a future involving gene therapy, artificial organs, synthetic blood and vasculature, and bioelectronic drugs.[4] Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, the self-styled “International Organisation for Public-Private Cooperation”,[5] likewise portends that the future of technological innovation, “doesn’t change what you are doing — it changes you. If you take genetic editing, just as an example, it’s you who are changed”.[6] He says technology will “in the end” lead to “a fusion of our physical, our digital and our biological identities”.[7] The technological determinist mindset behind all such pronouncements is designed to leave no room for resistance or contestation.

Organised by transnational elites, the lockstep march of humanity into what has been called the Bio-Nano Age, the Virtual Era,[8] or the Fourth Industrial Revolution,[9] reflects the transhumanist aspiration toward a post-human future. The gradual, inexorable march has been ongoing for decades, rooted in eugenic misanthropy while packaged in false promises that man can transcend the limitations of the flesh and, aided by new and novel technologies, live forever. The intellectual, physical, and spiritual move for a transhumanist form of immortality is also grounded in a socioeconomic transition that reduces humankind to hyper-rational “market actors configured always … and everywhere as hom*o economicus”,[10] serving not human welfare but monopoly capital’s bottom line. In other words, a billionaire class. As a consequence, it further means that the new technocratic colonists, funding these emerging markets in bodies, brains and bloodstreams, will seek control over all means of human (re)production.

Given that the value of human data is morphing into a key commodity[11] and given that the corporate “state must be involved in the [process of capital] accumulation, [by] mystify[ing] its policies and call[ing] them something they are not, or … try[ing] to conceal them”,[12] who better than state-corporate, “public private partnerships” to manage the emerging market of trans-humans for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Bodies (IoB)?[13] The movement finds at its centre the world’s wealthiest and most influential actors, spanning all sectors of power: a transnational elite urging a host of technological adulterations advertised as upgrades to biological lifeforms (humans, animals, plants, and microorganisms).

How are we to recognise the key signs of this fundamental transformation? A vivid image of an unfolding posthuman future is now coming into view in the wake of the global push for total compliance with government-mandated injectable bio-nano gene therapies. The Kavli Foundation, for example, ostensibly a grant-making body, has partnered with key agencies in the expanding global network of “public private partnerships” pushing gene-based nanotechnology and synthetic biology around the world, including the US Military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Rockefeller Foundation. In addition to their interest in vaccines, all three organisations are part of a White House-funded initiative known as “Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies” (BRAIN), including projects in nanoscience, brain-machine interfaces, and bioengineering.[14,15] The European Union also has its own Human Brain Project,[16] which it describes as “one of the largest research projects in the world”, forming part of its Future and Emerging Technologies initiative. The Project brings together 140 universities and institutions across 11 countries to focus on artificial neural networks, neuromorphic computing, AI, neurorobotics, and neuro-inspired technologies.

In the context of this abrupt worldwide turn towards gene-based, bio-nano solutions to purported social ills and emergencies, the following four-part series seeks to build upon existing literatures by critically examining the underlying transhumanist trajectory that drives such developments.[17-19] In particular, it aims to elucidate the role of the military-intelligence complex in transhumanism, as part of an ongoing project to transform humans for servitude in a new ‘utopia’ ruled and managed by the gurus, sages, and supplicants of a presently unfolding technocracy.

Defining Transhumanism
Casual talk of transhumanism in polite company may evoke curiosity or confusion. It may engender in the imagination thoughts of armed survivalists trading rumours of government plans to microchip citizens like livestock. Exchanges may trigger vague memories of popular tropes in pulp fiction or fantasy film, integrating trans-human fascination with morbid entertainment and comic book superheroes who merge with machines. It may recall the cinematic special effects of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927) where Maria’s life force is transferred to a sheetmetal cyborg. Perhaps the many approaches to treating transhumanism have been baked into layers of cultural reproduction in order to create the appearance of some conflict between fringe irrelevancy and utopian aspirations shared among elites. These ambiguities may be a feature of social engineering through media and education to incite public indifference and disengagement.

As a global project of control over (re)production and human beings, transhumanism entails a constellation of theoretical, practical, and ideological strands, each of which involves what appears to be a mixture of esoteric mythologies, empirical realities, and media hype, infused with technological developments, political spin, tangible circ*mstances, and the spectacle of unending public relations campaigns. Separating the material reality of this well-funded global project from the confusing forms of propaganda that support it can be complex and challenging.

Not least among the complications involved in defining transhumanism is that the usual approach to defining the term acts, itself, as a propaganda device. Proponents of transhumanism consistently define their project in evaluative and positive terms, as a quest for augmented ‘evolution’, human ‘enhancement’ and the overcoming of human ‘limitations’. According to the Transhumanist Manifesto, which has been published by NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Italian Space Agency, transhumanism is:

A worldview that seeks a quality of life that brings about perpetual progress, self-transformation, practical optimism, visionary solutions, and critical thinking — the transhuman. The transhuman is a biological-technological organism, a transformation of the human species that continues to evolve with technology[20]

Humanity+, the source of the Transhumanist Manifesto, defines transhumanism with reference to Max More, one of the pioneers of the movement, positioning transhumanism as:

The intellectual and cultural movement that affirms the possibility and desirability of fundamentally improving the human condition through applied reason, especially by developing and making widely available technologies to eliminate aging and to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities[21]

Such definitions and their supporting elaborations are peppered with concepts connoting perfection, betterment, greatness, and utopianism. Questions such as ‘Perfect for whom?’, ‘Better on what grounds?’ ‘Enhanced according to what criteria?’ go unasked and unanswered. NATO’s Science & Technology Organization, for instance, lists enhanced lethality as an objective of human ‘enhancement’ technologies in the military-intelligence domain.[22] Accordingly, without stipulating what terms such as ‘enhancement’ and ‘evolution’ mean, self-flattering platitudes at best, and lethal doublespeak at worst, can be injected into the very meaning of ‘transhumanism’, with important perception-management implications.

As we have discussed in our propaganda recipe focussed on 9/11 and Covid-19, a tried and true propaganda tactic is to repeatedly pair a target word with positive or negative associations. In experimental research, simply pairing a political candidate’s name with subliminally presented positive or negative cue-words (e.g. miracle, hug, funeral, rabies) is sufficient to influence outcomes such as candidate evaluations and political attitudes. As a form of subliminal messaging and classical conditioning, the repeated pairing of a propaganda target with an emotional association, or ‘affective tag’, in this way triggers unconscious automatic emotional responses with powerful perceptual and behavioural consequences, including for citizens’ voting patterns.

And so it is with defining ‘transhumanism’. By embedding vague terms denoting beneficence and altruism into the very definition of the word, it acquires the power to evoke the kinds of subliminal affective responses often associated with benign material (trust, ease, equanimity, insouciance), while suppressing the responses associated with threat (vigilance, caution, attentiveness, circ*mspection). Through repetition, defining ‘transhumanism’ thusly turns it into a pacifying cue-word, capable of subtly and subliminally subduing its audiences.

Importantly, the benevolent self-definition advanced by transhumanists has been taken up and uncritically amplified more widely, by dictionaries, encyclopaedias, journalists, commentators and scholars, infecting virtually every effort to discuss the movement more deeply. Consider, for instance, the definitions offered by Wikipedia and Google’s Oxford Dictionary:

Transhumanism is a philosophical and intellectual movement which advocates the enhancement of the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies – Wikipedia

The belief or theory that the human race can evolve beyond its current physical and mental limitations, especially by means of science and technology – Google’s Oxford Definition

Such mainstream approaches to defining and disseminating the popular meaning of the term constrain analysis within the parameters of, say, “betterment” and “enhancement”. In other words, the conceptual framework within which the definition of transhumanism is propagated leads researchers nowhere outside the narrow boundaries of technological upgrades, which subconsciously affect practically all approaches to understanding the project beyond its claimed overt beneficence.

With these considerations in mind, rather than perpetuate the propaganda effect of an acclamatory approach to defining terms, we offer a definition cleansed of dogma, affective tagging and positive spin. Cognisant of the reality that ‘enhancement’ is in the eye of the beholder, we define transhumanism as:

A project to engineer human biology by technological means on a mass scale.

The technological means in question could involve genetic engineering, synthetic biology, bioelectronics, and human-machine interfaces among others, encompassing biotechnology, nanotechnology, and bio-nanotechnology. The reengineering of human biology could occur directly or indirectly via transformations to the human habitat, such as through engineered adulterations of the natural environment, atmosphere, air, water, plant life, livestock, weapons, and pharmaceuticals.

Sanitising Atrocity by Definition?
In addition to the power of pacification, defining transhumanism as betterment leaves the transhumanist movement open to questionable agendas. Were agendas such as lethality and harm-doing to attach themselves systematically to ill-defined notions of enhancement, the term transhumanism would double as a morally disengaging tool, by sanitising atrocity under the rubric of ‘advancement’. As we wrote in Covid 19: Mass Formation or Mass Atrocity: https://unlimitedhangout.com/2022/11/inv...-atrocity/

Moral disengagement is a psychological process by which a specific event, such as mass extermination, can be placed outside the boundaries of one’s usual moral frame.[23, 24] A common device for achieving this is sanitizing language.[25, 26] Wrapped in the balm of neutral and forgettable terms, harm is rhetorically cleansed,[27] the reality fails to emotionally register, and indifference is invoked.[28] Hence, the banality of evil. Just as sexually assaulting victims with medical equipment was described as ‘enhanced interrogation’ in the War on Terror, so mass killing is disguised using anodyne-sounding medical language for the War on Covid-19™.

Mattias Desmet’s theory of Mass Formation attracted a great deal of attention in 2022. In this review of Desmet’s book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, we argue that it manifests the psychology of atrocity – and that “Mass Formation” paradoxically serves to legitimize the mass atrocity perpetrated during the Covid-19 era.

With the declaration of the pandemic that changed the world in March 2020, an army of thought police descended upon populations worldwide. Overnight, the public face of science was transformed from a civil and civilian endeavor into a matter of law and order. In place of what had formerly emanated from research communities came edicts from government officials, bolstered by celebrity bureaucrats, enforced by censorship, smearing, and coercion, and backed up by riot squads (e.g. here, here, here, here, here, here, and here). In the process, science as previously known, a careful product of time, hypothesis-testing, collective critique, and pertinent subject matter expertise, gave way to The Science™, a kaleidoscopic, ever-changing and capricious set of pseudo-medical justifications for government overreach and violations of citizens’ rights, riding on rolling waves of public messaging and manufactured fear, in keeping with a totalitarian model.

From the earliest days, there were those who could see these developments as dangerous, and those who could not. There were those who saw that the sharp turn away from democracy, due process, and human rights had nothing to do with empirical science whatsoever. And those who did not. The former have been mystified by the latter, and increasingly so as time has passed.

In a related vein, throughout transhumanism’s strands, misanthropic, eugenicist and even democidal goals are set alongside claims to pursue human enhancement for the betterment of civilisation, human safety, security, and well-being. Consider the sort of conflicted thinking needed both to communicate and to effectively obscure the processes of total transformation of the human being, prepared for a technocratic posthuman world:

… already today we have the technical ability to start redesigning humanity … The inorganic way, of linking humans to computers, brains to computers or even creating completely non-organic entities, artificial intelligence — perhaps even artificial consciousness — which is even a more radical change. You can say that genetic engineering is just playing with the same bits and pieces that evolution has played with for billions of years. This is something completely new — to create really inorganic entities.[29]

Now humans are developing even bigger powers than ever before. We are really acquiring divine powers of creation and destruction. We are really upgrading humans into gods. We are acquiring, for instance, the power to re-engineer life.[30]

Fast forward to the early 21st century, and we just don’t need the vast majority of the population … because the future is about developing more and more sophisticated technology like artificial intelligence, bioengineering. Most people don’t contribute anything to that, except for their data.[31]

The ultimate value of human beings will be just as consumers that will do nothing useful at all …. However, you could have consumers which are not humans, which are not conscious.[32]

If you’re not part of the revolution fast enough, then you’ll probably become extinct.”[33]

In his 2018 presentation to the World Economic Forum and 2020 interview above, Yuval Noah Harari, futurist, historian and frequent guest in ‘elite’ circles, perhaps the most notorious academic commentator on transhumanism, exalts the purported power of human ingenuity to supersede the natural pathways of evolution. Today’s leading engineers and programmers, he claims, are able to upgrade, for the betterment of human flourishing, human beings and their uninterrupted social, economic, and neural connections to the global central nervous system — the Internet. The implication is that humans, reengineered as partly inorganic entities with enhanced synthetic computer/brain power, will enjoy new superhuman abilities to defeat mortality and live forever. Spoken plainly in public, such talk is often portrayed, however, as lunatic and thus largely confined to the periphery. The overt disdain for ‘elite’ proclamations such as these passes as acceptable because most people appear to remain steadfast in their willful blindness to the ongoing class warfare being waged against them.

In contrast, Harari’s other talks take a more sinister turn into eugenics and the necessary reduction in value of human beings with inherent dignity and moral worth. Similar contradictions run throughout transhumanism’s disquisitions. With the rise of advanced robotics, machine learning and a future prospect of quantum computing, most creatures produced by natural processes of biological procreation are unnecessary to a world measured only by what is highly efficient and economically expedient. It is hardly any wonder that the World Economic Forum stands at the centre of this global programme in which the spheres of corporate power and influence have fully merged with the state. If all this sounds eerily similar to some “friendly” form of fascism, it just might be — a clear warning elaborated by Bertram Gross in 1980. “The collection of information is now possible through increasingly sophisticated systems”, he observed, “including the more ominous forms of remote electronic surveillance”.[34]

Gross foresaw in this emerging order a beguiling sort of fascism in which “more concentrated, unscrupulous, repressive, and militaristic control by a Big Business-Big Government partnership [would] preserve the privileges of the ultra-rich, the corporate overseers, and the brass in the military and civilian order”.[35] He pointed out that this fundamental redesign of the social world is framed in public discourse as exceedingly “reasonable” and inexorable because it is overtly friendly — to business — and, thus, part and parcel of the logic of an efficient and ‘free’ market.

In an example of the market-friendly public discourse that sugar-coats transhumanism, Nick Bostrom, a leading academic transhumanist who hails from what is known as transhumanism’s ‘Oxford School’,[36] wrote in 2003:

Transhumanism is a loosely defined movement that has developed gradually over the past two decades. [Actually, the term itself was first proposed by Julian Huxley in 1951, reportedly to rebadge eugenics following WWII]. It promotes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and evaluating the opportunities for enhancing the human condition and the human organism opened up by the advancement of technology.[37]

Bostrom is co-founder of the World Transhumanist Association, an original signatory of the Transhumanist Declaration of 1988,[38] and Founding Director of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University from 2005 to 2024. In a paper titled, ‘Ethical Issues for the 21st Century: Transhumanist Values,’ he explains that:

Transhumanists view human nature as a work-in-progress, a half-baked beginning that we can learn to remold in desirable ways. Current humanity need not be the endpoint of evolution. Transhumanists hope that by responsible use of science, technology, and other rational means we shall eventually manage to become post-human, beings with vastly greater capacities than present human beings have.[39]

By way of elaboration, Bostrom offers a vision of posthuman beings that reads like a script for a new Disney fantasy film, entirely divorced from the weaponised reality of human ‘enhancement’ R&D currently underway. Does Bostrom’s seeming unspoken embrace of social Darwinism serve to justify the belief that humans are no more than lab rats to be used as subjects in experimental upgrades? In a paper titled, ‘Human Genetic Enhancements: A Transhumanist Perspective’, he opines:

We can conceive of aesthetic and contemplative pleasures whose blissfulness vastly exceeds what any human being has yet experienced. We can imagine beings that reach a much greater level of personal development and maturity than current human beings do, because they have the opportunity to live for hundreds or thousands of years with full bodily and psychic vigor. We can conceive of beings that are much smarter than us, that can read books in seconds, that are much more brilliant philosophers than we are, that can create artworks, which, even if we could understand them only on the most superficial level, would strike us as wonderful masterpieces. We can imagine love that is stronger, purer, and more secure than any human being has yet harbored.[40]

As mere mortals observing Bostrom’s effusive speculation, we can’t help but ask: can we? In human-machine hybrids? Love that is stronger and more pure than any human being has yet harboured? Love — the quality that most decisively distinguishes human beings from machines — will be “enhanced” by technology? How?

Bostrom’s fellow Oxford transhumanists and contemporary co-authors, Brian Earp, Anders Sandberg and Julian Savulescu, have advanced a vision of technologically enhanced love in The American Journal of Bioethics. The bioethicists and futurists advocate manipulating the experience of love in pursuit of what they call “well suited relationship bonds”.[41] It is striking, to say the very least, that the most powerful human emotion that has motivated the highest forms of sacrifice, service, and culture in history should be dressed up (or down) in such rhetorically banal terms. The key tool that Earp et al. propose for achieving this objective is “anti-love biotechnology”. Is this what Bostrom means by ‘enhanced’?

Laying the blame on love for deviant scourges such as paedophilia, rape trauma and domestic abuse (which is profoundly psychologically flawed), the authors look forward to the prospect of a “love vaccine”, which would work to “prevent unwanted love”. Is the anti-love injection akin to Huxley’s Soma in Brave New World? They stress the “urgency of the ethical project”, including finding a “cure for love”, arguing that “under the right sort of conditions”, anti-love biotechnology could even be “morally required”. Of course, this sort of rationalising of biotech interventions would make perfect sense to minds occupied by the belief that humans are no more than economic machinery whose basic functions must be regulated or replaced altogether by more robots. The Oxford academics, whose transhumanist endeavours have as their base the power and position of the oldest English-speaking university in the world, describe a future in which “we may one day find ourselves with an array of pills, biochips, and neuroceuticals that could successfully ‘treat’ problematic passions”.[42]

A second definitional approach to sanitising transhumanism is to pit it against a devalued notion of unadulterated human beings. A report by the Science and Technology Options Assessment group of the European Parliament, for example, states: “Transhumanism is the idea that humankind can (and should) be perfected beyond its present limits by the use of appropriate technologies. These views are countered by a small but vocal group of conservatively minded opponents of human enhancement”.[43]

Similarly, a 2020 report by the Center for Naval Analyses for the US Office to the Chief of Naval Operations places opponents of transhumanism into one of two camps: “bioconservatism” or “bioluddism”. According to the report:

Transhumanism describes a philosophy of transforming the human condition to enhance both body and mind. In contrast, bioconservatism takes a ‘hesitant’ stance toward the merging of humans and technology, often with a focus on the unnatural and uncertain ends of such merging. And bioluddism (or neo-Luddism, for technology in general) rejects emerging biotechnology and passively or actively opposes its effects on the environment, individuals, and communities.[44]

An illustrative sentence reads: “Bioluddites oppose anti-love biotechnology”.

To be clear, this definition, provided to the US Department of Defense, treats safeguarding unadulterated humanity as a product of one of two things: political orientation (bio-conservatism) or technological backwardness (bioluddism).

Titled Superhumans: Implications of Genetic Engineering and Human-Centered Bioengineering, the report’s purpose was to provide the US Department of Defense (DoD) with recommendations for navigating a future of “cyborgs” and genetically engineered humans. The document alerts the reader that:

Biotechnology — specifically, the physical modification of biology with technology — has a trajectory that goes beyond reversible “human-machine teaming” and ends with cyborg-like possibilities of endless enhancements and modifications. And genetic engineering, particularly with the accessibility offered by CRISPR1 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) and related technologies, has a trajectory that promises smarter, stronger, and ‘better’ humans from birth, heralding the advent of ‘hom*o superior’.[45]

Having stigmatised those opposed to such developments as bioconservatives or bioluddites, efforts to protect hom*o sapiens (including from birth) against a genetically engineered takeover by “hom*o superior” — that is, the prospect of de facto human extinction — are cast as politically and psychologically reactionary. By comparison, transhumanism, and its posthuman, species-altering goals, are portrayed as the evolved, rational, and progressive alternative.

Such equating of posthumanism and progressivism echoes a definition of the ‘transhuman’ put forth by transhumanist pioneer Max More in 1994:

[A transhuman is] someone in the transition stage from human to biologically, neurologically and genetically posthuman. One who orients his/her thinking towards the future to prepare for coming changes and who seeks out and takes advantage of opportunities for self-advancement[46]

In reality, we contend, transhumanism is a product of powerful institutions, long believed to serve the public interest, which have been captured by a transnational regime of financiers and technocratic stakeholders who have worked hard to vanquish all memory of the public commons and the sovereign rights inherent to each human being. Freed from long-held universal moral imperatives, the global transhumanist movement that nudges the masses to consume its wares also manipulates, patents, and, in this present “third-wave marketization”[47] of the global economy, commodifies the raw materials of life. It pretends to be not merely a master of mimicry (biomimetics), but an omnipotent all-knowing creator of material substance. God-level: “Divinity,” according to Harari, “is not far enough to describe what we are trying to do.”[48]

Indeed, the charisma with which the industry of transhumanism is sweeping the world is, in Martine Rothblatt’s view, grounded in the ideology of transgenderism. Rothblatt is a billionaire transgender and transhumanist activist who authored the book From Transgender to Transhuman: A Manifesto on the Freedom of Form. The process of transition, according to the Transhumanist ethos, necessitates the construction of neologisms (beme), representing the “bio-electronic human” who has transcended the citizen of an “information society” of the “flesh-and-blood human” but

vitally relies upon vast portions of their life being stored and processed electronically. Such people can be said to be “transbeman” – they transcend both the human and the beman worlds. (2008)

The wealthy and influential Rothblatt got her start in satellite tracking systems following a visit to a NASA tracking station in 1974, after which she worked for NASA in the 1980s, and served on the Space Studies Institute board of trustees. Alongside transgenderism, Rothblatt promotes the use of nanotechnology in life extension, cyrogenics, humanoid robots, and cyber-consciousness.

Accordingly, with its aspirations to outdo Divinity and to transcend the trap(pings) of human flesh, transhumanism represents man’s hubris and degenerate belief in human effort alone to intercede with total precision and success in all natural processes. It involves attempts to engineer artificial evolutionary pathways that lead human beings toward a state of departure from their present stage as the most highly evolved creatures. Infused in this project is conceit beyond measure as wo/men in power pretend to play the role of supernatural creator and arrogate to themselves the right to control the sovereign will and desire of the human being to think, to feel, to act, and to reproduce.

We make the case in this series of articles that, to this end, the persistent campaigns of coerced injections of humankind with experimental gene therapies have served as key signifiers of the transhumanist project, both to rewrite the code of life itself with man’s technocratic interventions on the natural order, and to reengineer biology and merge humans with machines. All as part of an organised and well-funded project to repurpose humans for use in some imagined seamless synthesis of markets, societies, bodies, brains, bloodstreams, battlefields and belief systems, guided by a singular manmade force of unparalleled computational power.

Of course, all of this effort in trying to create and wield nearly omnipresent control over unpredictable, dynamic, and interdependent biological systems necessitates the application of immense “intelligence” — the sort that can operate with nearly unlimited resources, brainpower and funding.

Transhumanism: Flight of Fancy or Military-Intelligence Operation?
In the present age where public perception is tightly managed, censorship, compartmentalisation, and erasure are prevalent. This is why certain primary source materials need to be unearthed from archives and carefully examined.

As a case in point, buried in web pages archived on the Wayback Machine lies a record that on August 14 2001 the Chief Scientist from the NASA Langley Research Center, Dennis Bushnell, gave a talk at a symposium organised by the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), on what amounts to a military-intelligence roadmap towards transhumanism.[49] Bushnell was, at the time, a 40-year NASA veteran and remains NASA Langley Chief Scientist today. The presentation was titled ‘Future Strategic Issues / Future Warfare’. It was intended as a “heads up” to NASA’s national security partners on the future of technology as applies to both the military and society, with a view towards the years 2025-2030. The second slide read, ‘The ‘Bots, Borgs, ‘& Humans Welcome you to 2025 A.D”. The slides accompanying the presentation can be found at an archived web page of the US DoD Technical Information Center (DTIC).

https://propagandainfocus.com/wp-content...maller.jpg

The talk’s stated purpose was to guide not only the Department of Defence (DoD)’s military strategy but also military-intelligence procurement decisions, and R&D planning. Its projections and predictions were derived from NASA’s “futures” work with 30+ other national security agencies, including DARPA, the CIA, the DIA, the US Army, the Air Force, and numerous other national security bodies. As part of the talk’s preamble, NASA-Langley stressed that the futuristic technologies it described were “NO PIXIE DUST” (emphasis in original, slide 4). Clearly aware that the technologies and concepts contained in the 113 slides would appear improbable to many audiences, Bushnell explained that new technologies such as those he described often take 15+ years to produce, after which they remain “in inventory” for “40+ years”. Which, if true, would place a 40+ year veteran and head of a national security scientific research institute such as Dennis Bushnell in a prime position to know the status of classified R&D coming down the ‘black science’ pike.

Consistent with Bushnell’s claims, Harvard science historian Peter Galison writes that classified scientific research is “on the order of five to ten times larger than the open literature that finds its way to our libraries.” Thus, it is “we in the open world […] who are living in a modest information booth facing outwards, our unseeing backs to a vast and classified empire we barely know.”[50]

With the benefit of access to that vast classified empire, Bushnell, in his 2001 presentation, provided an overview of “ongoing worldwide technological revolutions” in “IT/Bio/Nano” fields, which, according to slide 7, were taking place at “triple/exponential” rates, with “changes occurring at scales of months (instead of decades)”. The talk predicted that the underlying global explosion in technological revolutions would see the advent of a new era for humanity, slated to commence in 2020. NASA Langley dubbed this new era the Bio/NANO Age (slide12). Why the year 2020 was chosen as the dawn of a new Bio/NANO era for humanity was not explained. A Virtual Age, in contrast, was designated to commence at some unspecified time, denoted by a question mark. That ultimate Virtual Age was to bring with it the “robotization” of key developments from previous eras, and a shift from living life in reality-based environments to existing in virtual ones.

On the road to the Virtual era, according to NASA Langley, the Bio/NANO Age would subsist on “social and economic disruption”, just as the Industrial Age had subsisted on raw materials and the Agricultural Age on farmlands (slide 107). Consider the distinctions drawn to frame the major transitions: the new Age feeds on societies, the livelihoods and bodies of human beings, while the preceding Ages fed on renewable resources in the natural world. The technological landscapes of the Bio/NANO and Virtual eras were to comprise genetic engineering of human beings prior to birth; implantable electronics for monitoring, computing and brain stimulation; cyber and artificial life; biocomputing; automatic/robotic “everything”; nanobots; smart dust; and ubiquitous immersive holographic and virtual environments. These and other radical societal transformations were anticipated to occur with the help of “’Trojan horse’ ‘civilian’ systems” (slide 81) — consistent with the alleged rollout of military technologies under the guise of ‘public health’ since 2020 [51, 52, 53, 54] — and the “surreptitious nano tagging (with microwave interrogation) of everything / everyone” (slide 88).

In all, the document signposted key ways in which the path to transhumanism would be paved by weaponry, including in civilian disguise, and arranged according to military-intelligence designs, both in strategic and concrete (R&D and procurement) terms. Despite the immense curiosity-value and potential social impact of the 113 slides, however, they have received little to no attention in the civilian world, with a few notable exceptions.[55]

Ten years later, in 2011, Bushnell told an audience of environmental scientists that “the ongoing bio-revolutions in genomics and synthetic biology offer the very real possibility of designer life forms including humanoids”.[56] One may wonder whether Mary Shelley will be lionised, at some point, with a posthumous Nobel Prize for her conceptual contributions to today’s movements toward manmade monstrosities. These revolutions, Bushnell noted, would form part of a technological future that audience members should expect in their children’s and grandchildren’s lifetimes. He explained that “via biomimetics they’ve nano-sectioned the neocortex, and they’re replicating it in silicon, and they’re having great success”. In the interim, Bushnell warned that even without silicon brains, in 2011 “the robots are taking the jobs. And the humans increasingly can’t compete”. Going forward, with more advanced artificial intelligence, “what people will do all day is not clear”. Is this project merely the conclusion to the rapacious logic of central banking — to jettison humans from all areas of cultural, economic and biological production?

“Humans are becoming cyborgs”, the NASA Langley Chief Scientist continued. “We have put brain chips in about 10,000 people … DARPA is working on brain chips for super soldiers. Fifteen, 20 years out if you don’t have all of these chips in you, you can’t compete, particularly with the machines … [In fact] we are merging with machines. There are some really massive effects of the IT/Bio/Nano quantum energetics tech revolutions that are now double exponential … If you want to check where the frontier of this kind of thinking is, read Ray Kurzweil”, who, Bushnell added with zest, is “right on it!”[57]

In his book The Singularity (2005), Kurzweil describes a ‘2030 scenario’ consistent with NASA-Langley’s Virtual Era, under which

Nanobot technology will provide fully immersive, totally convincing virtual reality. Nanobots will take up positions in close physical proximity to every inter-neuronal connection coming from our senses … Nanobots will be capable of generating the neurological correlates of emotions, sexual pleasure, and other derivatives of our sensory experience and mental reactions … Nanobots will be introduced without surgery, through the bloodstream and, if necessary, can all be directed to leave, so the process is easily reversible. They are programmable, in that they can provide virtual reality one minute and a variety of brain extensions the next.[58]

Fantasy? If Professor of Electrical Engineering and Cellular Biology at Florida International University, Sakhrat Khizroev, is to be believed, his team had already developed magnetoelectric nanoparticles in 2018 capable of being injected into the bloodstream, “like the flu shot” (or ingested), and wirelessly guided to the brain. In animal studies, the magnetoelectric nanoparticles could be wirelessly manoeuvred to brain areas with single-neuron precision, and brought back out into the bloodstream once their mission was complete. In a talk on the technology and the emerging field of “technobiology” Khizroev said, “every day we are getting closer to the ultimate goal to use [this technology] on people. And we hope within a couple of years we can do that”.[59] The accompanying graphic read, ‘NANOPARTICLE – Unlimited Possibilities’.

Earlier in his career, when he was a straight-up electrical engineer and physicist, prior to his incarnation as a “technobiologist”, Khizroev had conducted research funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the Army Research Office, the Office of Naval Research, and DARPA.[60, 61] For his part, Kurzweil is Director of Engineering and “Principal Researcher + AI Visionary” at Google, which, in turn, was seed-funded by the NSA and CIA[62] and continues to collaborate with US intelligence today.

Consistent with Kurzweil’s Singularity, by 2015 NASA Langley’s Dennis Bushnell was describing the possibility of “uploading the brain into a machine, which would have god-like sic. knowledge and would be connected to the emerging global sensor grid and global mind.”[63] Bushnell goes on to cite Hans Moravec’s idea of morphing into our “brain children” and becoming “human contaminated machines.” So, not only are machines deified (”god-like”), but human beings are treated as contaminants — a profoundly anti-humanist vision that is starkly at odds with the transhumanist mantra of “bettering” humanity.

Back to the Future of 2020
While such developments may have seemed too far from reality in 2001 (and 2011 and 2015) for most commentators to entertain, in 2020 NASA Langley’s 2001 presentation gained new salience as key prognostications began making their way into real life. In 2020, “social disruption”, which was slated by NASA Langley to replace the farmlands of the Agricultural Age and the raw materials of the Industrial Age, descended right on time for a 2020 commencement to a new Bio/NANO era, as listed on slide 12 of the NASA document. The social disruption of 2020, moreover, powered, for the first time in history, mass rollout of injectable gene-based BioNano technology (cf BioNTech ‘vaccines’), underpinned legally and logistically by the Military-Industrial Complex, particularly the US DoD and the National Security Council (NSC).[64, 65, 66, 67, 68] In the process, rapid mass transition to the “tele-everything” described in the NASA Langley document (tele-medicine, tele-education, tele-commerce, tele-socialisation etc, slide 16) came into being, laying a practical social pathway to the Virtual Age, in which, “the world and society will shift even more to tele-everything”.[69]

At the same time, in the realms of public discourse, as life was imitating NASA Langley slides, the WEF’s Klaus Schwab and Yuval Noah Harari began touting the arrival of Bio/NANO Era developments under the auspices of a “Great Reset” and the “Fourth Industrial Revolution”,[70, 71] both of which had been nurtured prior to 2020 and hastened by the Great Disruption that was Covid-19. When asked about the significance of Covid-19 to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Klaus Schwab said that Covid-19 had “accelerated the ongoing Industrial Revolution” such that “the Fourth Industrial Revolution is now a reality”.

Expanding upon that theme, on April 14, 2020 — a mere month after the World Health Organization had declared Covid-19 a pandemic — Harari explained that, with the arrival of Covid-19, we were seeing “a change in the nature of surveillance. Previously surveillance was mainly above the skin. Now it’s going under the skin. Governments want to know not just where we go or who we meet — above all they want to know what is happening under our skin”.[72]

Harari also told The Late Late Show early in The Pandemic™, on 16 April 2020:

What’s happening now, it’s really a watershed in the history of surveillance. First of all, we see mass surveillance systems entering and being adopted in democratic countries, which previously resisted them. Secondly, we see the nature of surveillance changing from over the skin surveillance to under the skin surveillance.[73]

By “under the skin surveillance” Harari explained to BBC Hard Talk in May 2020 that he meant not merely medical measurements such as temperature or heart rate. Under the skin surveillance, he stressed, would enable governments and corporations (if they can now be distinguished from one another) to monitor not just what we do, but what we think and feel, to the extent that the corporate state would “know me better than I know myself”. He added that he thought it was likely that “people could look back in 100 years and identify the Coronavirus epidemic as the moment when a new regime of surveillance took over, especially surveillance under the skin. Which I think is maybe the most important development of the 21st century”.[74] But what was Harari talking about? His remarks were made in early 2020, when social distancing, masks and lockdowns were the countermeasures du jour. What did those interventions, or the virus they purportedly addressed, have to do with surveillance under the skin? It is hard to disagree with Harari that had Covid-19 or its countermeasures somehow served as a vehicle for covert mass deployment of subcutaneous surveillance technology, that would indeed qualify as a defining, if ominous, 21st century development. But how could such a thing have occurred? Did Harari know something we didn’t? About Covid perhaps? Or the masks? Or the PCR tests? (See Part 3 for discussion of smart dust and findings of undeclared materials on PCR swabs).

Social Engineers or Space Cadets?
It is certainly true that, of all US national security agencies, NASA’s remit begs the most impossible feats of biology and science. Living without gravity and oxygen, or coping with sensory deprivation are obvious examples. With such interplanetary objectives in mind, it is perhaps understandable that the agency’s interest in cyborgs dates to the 1960s. In a document titled ‘Engineering Man for Space: THE CYBORG STUDY’ (capitals in original), NASA’s Office of Advanced Research and Technology received a report in 1963 on its ‘CYBORG Program’, whose aim was to “obtain the maximum integration of man into a man-machine complex”.[75] Interestingly, this came only one year after the CIA’s MKULTRA Subproject 119 (1962), which explored “techniques of activation of the human organization by remote electronic means” but did not result in any device for doing so.[76]

The rationale for NASA’s CYBORG Program — six decades ago — was to increase the “efficiency and longevity of the life process on board space flights”.[77] In other words, NASA’s space programme provided a rationale, or perhaps a pretext, for funding research into areas that would otherwise be deemed too outlandish/immoral to fund, i.e. cyborgs. Justifying incursions into otherwise unconscionable territory by appeals to a valued collective purpose, it should be noted, is a common psychological tool for sanitising atrocity.[78]

By 2021, NASA had taken its space rationale sufficiently far to establish an international, interagency collaboration involving the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the FDA, the CDC, the NIH, eight international space agencies, a few universities, and a ‘not for profit’ group with Google’s Eric Schmidt and billionaire transgender transhumanist activist Martine Rothblatt on its board of trustees. That collaboration exploited the R&D opportunities of an international space station hosting a microgravity laboratory, which was orbiting the Earth every 90 minutes. In a set of slides on the initiative, titled ‘Bioengineering at NASA: Towards an understanding of life in space’, a timeline depicting ‘Six Decades of Space Biology Research’ marked the time point “now” with two words: “synthetic biology”.[79] Earlier, in 2011, a report prepared jointly by NASA Langley and a private government contractor summarised NASA’s R&D synergy with external bodies[80], explicating its intended applications for synthetic biology. Those applications included interactions with electronics such as a “synthetic bio-robot” which the report described as “an autonomous robot resulting from the fusion of synthetic biology, electronics, and cybernetics … This technology builds on the emerging field of synthetic biology by using the principles of biomimicry to develop a micro-scale cyborg”.[81]

Additionally, the report listed “seamless human-computer interaction” involving a “Brain Machine Interface (BMI): also known as brain-computer or neural interface”. Such an interface, the document explained, “monitors the user’s neurons and interprets his or her signals. This provides hands-free control of machinery and software and access to information … [which] could be a very useful technology in space environments”.[82] Thus, since its first Cyborg Program report, NASA’s rationale for cyborg technologies appears to have experienced mission creep, from astronauts’ longevity in 1963 to convenience in 2011.

The 2011 report then described a simulated reality that would be “indistinguishable from real experiences” and “so completely immersive” that the user would be unable to tell the two experiences apart. The technologies that could achieve this state “would work directly on the brain itself — blocking real sensory input and replacing it with simulated input on the level of individual neurons”.[83] A moral line was thereby crossed. Hypothetical space scenarios, probably useful to no one, had provided the justification for the development of real-world technologies that could be used to hijack individuals’ perception of reality.

Next on NASA’s technological agenda was “Super Humans”. NASA’s super humans are based on:

Physical Interfaces includ[ing] physical and neural interfaces that augment human capabilities, such as exo-skeletons and infrared vision …. Said neural infrared vision interfaces hard-wire visual sensing capabilities directly into the nervous system. The ability to see in different parts of the spectrum could be valuable for space operations.[84]

And while this may represent just one small step for a cyborg astronaut, it is a giant step for human kind. It betrays a vision of hom*o superior whereby the ‘super human’ is not the transcendent creative genius of academic transhumanists’ tomes, but one whose perceptions of reality are externally defined and managed for them, in line with their manufacturers’ requirements.

In short, with space exploration serving as the overarching rationale, it might make sense that NASA is simply seeking to create what Dennis Bushnell has called “extremophiles” for space, or cyborgs designed to thrive in extreme environments. However, Bushnell has proposed extremophiles not merely for space. He has also advanced them as a response to “climate change”. [85] In his 2011 talk to the Blue Tech Water Innovation Forum Bushnell mooted modifying humans to “take the heat”. He said:

We have ongoing studies of extremophiles… plus the ongoing revolution in genomics and synthetic biology, that proffers the very real possibility of designer life forms, including humanoids, capable of thriving in whatever mess we make of the planet.

That is, the intended end-use of extremophiles appears to be closer to home than outer space. Which is consistent with Bushnell’s 2001 presentation to national security industry partners, in which cyborg technology was predicted to underpin new Ages for humanity. New Ages, moreover, that were cast not primarily in terms of space flight or even climate change, but more standard national security fare, such as combat, surveillance, and war. Including “PSYWAR” [86], along with new forms of attack encompassing beam weaponry (slides 45 and 103) and aerosolised mechanical micro-dust that bores into its victims’ lungs (slide 43). Not to forget the “surreptitious nano tagging (with microwave interrogation) of everything/everyone” [italics added] for “identification and status info” (slides 41 and 88).

Which only begs more questions: Even if creating extremophiles for space were the true purpose of NASA’s cyborg programs, why is NASA predicting new Ages of humanity and BioNano warfare? Why is it heralding the surreptitious nano tagging of everything and everyone? With microwave interrogation? For identification and status info? Whose info? What status? Why?

To answer these and other questions, in Part 2, drawing chiefly on officially authenticated and formally distributed military-intelligence primary source documents, we explore the evidence of designs plotted out for transhumanism in military-intelligence “futures” materials, which relate to the strategic vision of the national security world beyond NASA, for both the military and the civilian sector.

Transhumanist Futures, Part 2: Humanity in the Crosshairs
Johnson, Broudy, and Hughes | PropagandaInFocus.com
April 27, 2024

Abstract
The Transhumanist campaign against humanity, we have outlined in Part 1, is part and parcel of a sophisticated long-game strategy waged against bodies and psyches. With the manipulation of our primal fears and altruistic impulses, the prosecution of this technological onslaught against humanity is camouflaged by linguistic shell games based on sanitising, eulogising and euphemistic language; justification through appeal to valued collective activities such as space exploration; and by claimed threats that humanity is itself the scourge, including through its propensity for “unwanted” love, which is recast as an affliction needing treatment with biochips and neuroceuticals. In this perverse “New Normal”, technocratic regimes of dispossession headed by transnational economic interests and, we argue, the military-intelligence complex, are presented as self-evident and morally justified. Social order, civil rights, and human sovereignty are reconceptualised, repackaged, and reframed in public discourse as “surveillance under the skin”. Part 2 broadens scope beyond NASA and its purportedly space-oriented transhumanist agenda by offering analysis of transhumanist forecasting and planning in an array of military-intelligence strategic vision or ‘futures’ documents, which are focussed both on military personnel and civilian populations. We reveal that this evidence not only casts military personnel as fodder for transhumanist experimentation, but foresees societies and leadership agendas stratified along transhumanist lines. The trail of documentation ultimately leads to an intersection with military-intelligence scenario planning for a pandemic-ravaged dystopian global landscape in the year 2020, with real and present implications for impending global governance under the World Health Organisation, with ratification of amendments to International Health Regulations and a new Pandemic Preparedness treaty pending in May 2024.

Introduction
Too often do we marvel at the power of the institutions we have constructed over time, and too often do we take for granted that ministers of state power have a genuine interest in attending to the needs of the citizenry who give consent to their rule. But how, in these times of systematic societal destruction, can we understand the ways in which a “New Normal” is being built before our eyes in the biological systems that comprise families, communities, and nations? How is the great transformation unfolding in real-time? Can the material evidence of fundamental change be discerned through the obscurity of official planning, policies and papers already published?

A Brave New Millennium: Nanotechnology, Policy, and the Building Blocks of ‘Life’
In September 2000, almost a year before NASA Langley’s August 2001 ‘futures’ presentation[1] to the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) described in Part 1, another ‘futures’ workshop took place a short drive along the Potomac River from Langley, at the National Science Foundation (NSF) headquarters in Alexandria Virginia. The workshop was titled ‘Societal Implications of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology’. It was organised by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), a cabinet-level council of advisers to the President,[2] which provides “the principal means for the U.S. President to coordinate science, space and technology policies across the Federal Government”.[3]

In hindsight, one can see how the little-known September 2000 NSTC workshop now stands on the science and technology policy landscape as an unassuming launchpad for what NASA Langley would term, in the following year, the BioNano Age. It was held two months after the US Government’s National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) was announced in July 2000,[4] whose aim was to accelerate progress in nanotechnology research, and was sponsored by the same Federal NSTC body that co-ordinated the NNI.[5] Shortly prior to the 2000 NSTC workshop, according to the workshop summary, “a White House letter (from the Office of Science and Technology Policy and Office of Management and Budget) sent in the fall of 2000 to all Federal agencies has placed nanotechnology at the top of the list of emerging fields of research and development in the United States”.[6]

In tandem with the nano-technological movement in the White House, the 2000 NSTC workshop spawned a modestly-worded 280-page report in 2001, which advised that “a revolution is occurring in science and technology, based on the recently developed ability to measure, manipulate and organize matter on the nanoscale — 1 to 100 billionths of a meter”. The report predicted that, “over the next 10 to 20 years [2010-2020], nanotechnology will fundamentally transform science, technology, and society”. It added, “there is little doubt that the broader implications of this nanoscience and nanotechnology revolution for society at large will be profound”.[7]

The status of such nanotechnology policies is significant to transhumanism’s trajectory in that nano-technological materials and tools are critical to the transhumanist project of re-engineering biological life. According to a 2010 report from the Air War College titled Nanotechnology: Threats and Deterrent Opportunities by 2035, “the ability to work in nanoscale is … leading to unprecedented understanding and control over the basic building blocks of all natural and man-made things”.[8] It goes without saying that one could not get more elemental than controlling the basic building blocks of all natural and man-made things. Nanotechnology, the report explains, “is about much more than dealing with the very small”. It quotes Mihail C. Roco, Senior Advisor for Science and Engineering at the NSF, as saying that nanotechnology represents the convergence of science and engineering “where the fundamental principles of life can be found.”[9]

In an applied sense, according to the 2001 Roco and Bainbridge NTSC workshop report:

… the nanoscale is not just another step toward miniaturization, but a qualitatively new scale; … among the envisioned breakthroughs are human organ restoration using engineered tissue, ‘designer’ materials created from directed assembly of atoms and molecules, as well as emergence of entirely new phenomena in chemistry and physics.[10]

Those entirely new phenomena, The Air Force Research Laboratory explains in Nanoscience Technologies: Applications, Transitions and Innovations, arise because nano-sized materials are smaller than the scales at which conventional physics apply and larger than those where atomic physics dominate.[11] This intermediate state between conventional and atomic physics results in oddities such as “forc[ing] electrons into unique energy states”, which in turn promote features including altered magnetic properties, “improved superconductivity” and exceptional strength.[12]

Among the potential applications of such nanotechnological oddities offered in the NTSC report are “wired humans”. The report foresees a day when, with the help of nanoscience, “nanoscanners” will project imagery directly onto the fovea (a small depression in the neurosensory retina where visual acuity is sharpest), while microphone implants in the throat, and implants in the inner ear, could be coupled with implantable transmitting and receiving devices. Should such developments come to pass, “then a human will be wired fully — not only internally but also externally to the vast network outside of the body.”[13]

In its capacity advising the US President, to facilitate the advancement of wired humans and other innovations, the NTSC report offers recommendations for social scientists and policymakers to “help us to take advantage of the new technology sooner, better, and with greater confidence.”[14] What ensued from this point forth is perhaps among the most significant, and the most under-reported, series of developments in national security affairs.

The following year a second workshop was held, titled, Nano Bio Info Cogno: Converging Technologies for Improving Human Performance.[15] The 2001 workshop spawned a second report, edited by the same authors as the previous year’s NTSC workshop summary, Mihail C. Roco and William S. Bainbridge of the NSF. The second report, published in 2002, ran to 424 pages and launched what is now known as the NBIC initiative, an influential, international interdisciplinary convergence of activity across Nanoscience, Biotechnology, Information technology and Cognitive science / neuroscience (NBIC) domains. An introductory graphic to the report heralds the nascent NBIC convergence as “changing the societal ‘fabric’ towards a new structure”.[16] The seemingly innocuous description of ‘change’ to the structural ‘fabric’ of society may have passed to readers, at the time, as unworthy of deeper contemplation, but digging into the details of the international ‘interdisciplinary’ ‘convergence’ of nano-everything yields surprising results about what ‘change’ would actually entail.

Although not obvious in the NBIC report itself, a later NATO document made clear that the NBIC initiative had come about with DoD backing. The 2021 NATO report reads, “NBIC is a scientific project bringing together four previously distinct domains: nanotechnology (nanorobot technology, nano-sensors, nanostructures, energy, etc.), biotechnology (bio-genomic technology, bio-engineering, neuropharmacology, etc.), information technology (computer science, microelectronics, etc.) and cognitive technology (cognitive science and neuropsychology). The project was formalized with the encouragement of the US Department of Defense (DoD) in 2002 and subsequently taken up by major international institutions and a number of nations, to bring together future technologies”.[17]

Indeed, concurrently with the NBIC project, just as the White House had entered the 21st century with a focus on nanotechnology and a new National Nanotechnology Initiative, the DoD entered with a compatible Defense Science and Technology Strategy 2000, published in May of 2000. The Defense science and technology strategy declares that in order to “provide for national security in the 21st century”,[18] the DoD would need to be “building our portfolio of technology investments … leveraging the technology explosion, and enabling the Revolution in Military Affairs”.[19] Technologies of interest to the DoD are listed as including nanoscience, micro- and nano-robots, molecular engineering, augmented reality, nanoscale sensors, and biosensors with smart sensor webs, all together enabling “the combination of biology with information technology, electronics, optoelectronics, sensors, and actuators”.[20] In other words, the same BioNano technologies underpinning NASA Langley’s BioNANO Age, slated to commence in 2020, as discussed in Part 1. The subsequent DoD-backed NBIC initiative of 2002 cites the 2000 DoD Science and Technology Strategy report, offering “embedded bionic chips” in soldiers as an example of the revolutionary technologies emanating from the national security realm.[21]

Simply put, the DoD, NTSC and NASA Langley in 2000-2001, and NATO in 2021 (along with a cornucopia of military-intelligence projects and documents in between — a small selection of which we summarise below) have been singing from the same transhumanist DoD BioNano hymnsheet since at least the turn of the century.

The 2021 NATO report continues: “The object [of NBIC] is to encourage the development of tools and adapt or improve humans through an anthropotechnical approach to develop a hybridized human-system … Today, this project has led to the partial convergence of domains, mostly through pairing information technology and health nanotechnologies, new chemical cognition enhancers, embedded electronics, etc. Ultimately, it will lead to an augmented human operator (or even a hybrid one), injected with amplifying substances or nanotechnologies [emphasis added]”.[22] That is, it will lead to transhumans. With the help of hypodermic needles.

By way of illustration, the NATO document notes, “a number of enhanced soldier projects are already underway”.[23]

Cyborg Soldiers: Transhumanist Designs on the Military
As regards abbreviations, GI may be one of the most enigmatic. Originally, it referred to galvanized iron, which was used in the manufacture of, among other things, buckets for military use. With the rise of the permanent international arms industry, the abbreviation has assumed additional meanings: “government issue”, “general issue”, and “ground infantry”. The collocations of each meaning are interesting: the concept of infantry is derived from the French ‘infant’ whose mind represents fertile ‘ground’ for effective conditioning. Is this why ‘bucketheads’ who’ve been effectively conditioned like babes have long been sent out first as cannon fodder into conflicts in efforts to acquire ground in battle? The answer to this question may tell us something about the mindless cyborg on assembly lines around the world.

With a brave new nanotechnological millennium in mind, a simple browse through titles of relevant military-intelligence documents provides a brief overview of ways in which the bodies and brains of GIs and other military personnel have been positioned at the frontlines of battle plans between transhumans and humanity. Consider the following:

Neural and Biological Soldier Enhancement-From SciFi to Deployment (2009):[24] Published by NATO and prepared by the Fraunhofer Institute for Technological Trend Analysis, a long-time partner to the Federal German Ministry of Defense. The report echoes the US DoD’s 2000 proclamation of a technology-driven ‘Revolution in Military Affairs’ (RMA) for the 21st century,[25] and discusses the role of human augmentation, brain-machine interfaces and genetic engineering.
Cognition 2035: Surviving a complex environment through unprecedented intelligence (2009):[26] A research paper for the US Air War College, the document similarly projects that, “by 2035, advances in nano-scale, biological, and information technologies will drive cognition toward unprecedented capabilities in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Enhanced Human Intelligence (EHI). These capabilities will have a dramatic effect on all levels of the Air Force”. The paper cites brain computer interfaces and neural prostheses, noting, “there may, also, come a time where adoption of these technologies is compulsory … military service may require certain computer-brain augmentations for its members … Coercive forces will drive extensive ethical and cultural debate”.[27]

Was compulsory adoption of bio-nano technologies involving synthetic RNA in 2020, ostensibly to ‘augment’ the human immune system, an opening gambit in the deployment of such coercive technological ‘enhancement’?

Biologically fit: Using Biotechnology to Create a Better Soldier (2013):[28] A thesis from the Naval Postgraduate School, the document discusses genetic engineering to create a better solider, and argues that the DoD must overcome the natural genetic limitations of unadulterated service members, in the interests of creating a soldier with greater strength, speed, endurance, and resistance to enemy tactics. The paper proposes that, “the natural limitations of the human genome confines a soldier’s war fighting capabilities” to the extent that, “the soldier is the weakest link due to its natural genetic limitations”. (Note the dehumanising and gender-neutral reference to the human soldier as “it”). In a similar vein, the paper observes, “leaders are realizing more the importance of the soldier as an integral weapon system” [italics added].[29] Accordingly, the document summarises the DoD’s interest and investment in DNA research and genetic engineering. At the time — a decade ago — it was noted that “the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and other research organizations grow closer to ground breaking innovations that could have a major impact on the institutional practices of the DoD … DARPA is underway in their attempts to develop tools to enable genetic engineering that may one day enable the DoD’s ability to create a biological (sic) fit soldier”. By way of example, the paper cites a DARPA project involving artificial chromosomes: “By soliciting the help of private biotech corporations, DARPA aims to improve their methods to implant human artificial chromosomes (HACs) into mammalian cells as highlighted in a document on the DoD’s Small Business Innovation and Research page”.[30]

As much as the content of such documents is striking, with their cavalier recasting of human beings as weapons and instruments of war, whose utility is defined and designed by the military, the sheer number of like documents, along with the fact that they have been publically available for decades, is perhaps even more remarkable.

The list continues.

Cyborg Soldier 2050: Human/Machine Fusion and the Implications for the Future of the DOD (2019):[31] Performing Organizations – Director, US Army Combat Capabilities Command Chemical Biological Center; Naval Research Laboratory; National Defense University; U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command; Georgetown University, and; the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. Sponsoring Orgnization – the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. The report outlines four domains of cyborg technology and notes that an upcoming two way data transfer between brains and machines and/or brains and electronics will create a “revolutionary advancement in future military capabilities”. Specifically:

This technology is predicted to facilitate read/write capability between humans and machines and between humans through brain-to-brain interactions. These interactions would allow warfighters direct communication with unmanned and autonomous systems, as well as with other humans, to optimize command and control systems and operations. The potential for direct data exchange between human neural networks and microelectronic systems could revolutionize tactical warfighter communications, speed the transfer of knowledge throughout the chain of command, and ultimately dispel the ‘fog’ of war. Direct neural enhancement of the human brain through neuro-silica interfaces could improve target acquisition and engagement and accelerate defensive and offensive systems.[32]

To be clear, this document reflects the fact that the office of the third highest ranking US DoD official (The Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering), second only to the Director and Deputy Director,[33] is presently focussed on turning military personnel into cyborgs. The plainly transhumanist nature of this reality, at such a high level of command, belies the common misperception that transhumanism is a quirky affectation of fringe-dwelling intellectuals, a figment of over-active imaginations, and/or an indulgence of elites with their heads in the clouds.

The report goes on: “The U.S. Government should support efforts to establish a whole-of-nation approach to human/machine enhancement technologies”, involving the commercial sector as well as government, with the rationale that, “a national effort to sustain U.S. dominance in cyborg technologies is in the best interests of the DOD and the nation”.[34]

And yet, despite advocating a whole of nation effort to achieve US dominance in cyborg technologies, the report acknowledges that, “how the use of integrated technologies will affect existing brain architectures and functions is not yet known and arguably, can only be known by implementing the particular interventions”.[35] In other words, through human experimentation.

Are there any parallels to be drawn, or lessons learned, from the Covid-19 experiment into which the world’s population has been integrated? [36, 37] As Barack Obama put it in April 2022, “we’ve now, essentially, clinically tested the vaccine on billions of people worldwide”[38] — the “vaccines” still being in clinical trials until 2023 when they were rolled out in 2021. Furthermore, is it a coincidence that the Covid-19 experiment was co-ordinated by National Security agencies, as opposed to health agencies, in at least two ostensibly democratic nations purportedly under civilian rule — the United States and Australia? (We examine this question more closely in Part 3.)

Human Automation Integration for Supervisory Control of UAVs (Uninhabited Air Vehicles) (2006):[39] Published by NATO and prepared by the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory of the UK Ministry of Defense (MoD), the report describes approaches to “remote supervision of operations involving use of lethal force”. The technological tools include what it describes as advanced human-computer interfaces and multi-modal virtual media immersive synthetic environments.[40] That is, remote killing using ‘enhanced’ virtual reality.
Ideas Lab for Imagining Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Cognition in the USAF of 2030 (2019):[41] Sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the paper is the final report of a year-long project to explore the mid-term (10+ years) future of Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Cognition (AI) in the context of the future USAF [US Air Force]. With an entire section on “Human Machine Fusion”, the report cites examples including a warfighter with micro- or nano-electronic implants allowing them to see a wider range of the electromagnetic spectrum,[42] to physiologically withstand extreme environments,[43, 44] or to control a plane as though it were an extension of his or her body through a brain-computer interface.[45] Such augmentations would form part of what the report calls a “human-machine matrix”, encompassing different levels of human-machine interaction, from simple human use of “smart” machines, to “tighter integration of humans with machines, where human-machine coupling creates an entirely new form of warfighter (e.g., something exemplified by the ‘cyborg’ concept)”.[46] The report observes of its contributors, who hail from academia, the NIH and military contractors including Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, “there was agreement that research on human-machine integration should consider a broad perspective on techniques to integrate machines with the full range of human bodily systems including the peripheral and central nervous system,[47-49] the musculoskeletal system,[50-52] the endocrine system,[53, 54] the viscera, the vascular system,[55] immunological processes and even patterns of gene expression”.[56, 57] Such transhumanist developments the report deemed necessary to achieve “success for the USAF in the 2030 military context”.[58] In other words, if the US Air Force and private military contractors have their way, military-grade transhumanism will leave no stone of human biology unturned.
Opportunities and Implications of Brain Computer Interface Technology (2020): Air University Press, Muir S. Fairchild Research Information Center, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. The paper is part of a series of US Air Force publications that “aim to present cutting-edge, actionable knowledge — research” according to a foreword by a USAF Commandant Brigadier General.[59] It outlines the R&D status of emerging technologies designed to achieve “bidirectional communication between a brain and a computer” in order “to meet challenging national security objectives for the next 20 years”, “enhance combat capability”, and “ensure that the DOD maintains its war-fighting advantage”. The Brain Computer Interface technologies of interest included genetic modification of brain cells, utilising optical as well as electrical signals for Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs), and employing nonsurgical, including injectable, means of recording and controlling activity at “the basic working unit of the brain, the neuron”.[60]

It is worth recalling here that Dennis Bushnell, the NASA Langley Chief Scientist, told national security industry partners in 2001 that the fruits of classified R&D often remain “in inventory” for over 40 years.[61] Which raises the question as to how long injectable means of recording and controlling neuronal activity have been available to the military-intelligence establishment. Given Bushnell’s 2011 remark that brain chips had already been inserted into 10,000 people[62], the question seems a reasonable one. Which in turn raises the question of what Elon Musk’s public spectacle over surgically implanting a brain chip into just one person by 2024 is really all about.

Looking towards a 2040 timeframe, the Air Force paper notes that technologies such as genetically and optically-mediated injectable BCIs are part of an “exponentially growing” and “potentially disruptive” field.[63] Consistent with the foundational DoD-backed NBIC report published 18 years earlier, which launched an international “convergence” of interdisciplinary Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno R&D,[64] the 2020 paper explains that the BCI technologies it describes are the product of interdisciplinary collaboration between neurologists, biologists, engineers, geneticists, psychologists, computer scientists, and mathematicians. It adds that the “DoD has increased its investment and reorganized its efforts to lead in this [interdisciplinary BCI] field”.[65]

The report explains that the BCI technology of such interest to the DoD involves “a bidirectional communication pathway between the brain and an external device, designed to acquire, analyze, and translate brain signals for a specific action. The brain typically works by sending a signal to peripheral nerves and muscles to induce movement of a limb or to conduct a certain action. BCIs provide a new output channel for the brain to communicate with and ultimately control an external device. The external device could be an artificial limb, a simulated aircraft in flight, or anything that can be interfaced with a computer. BCI is also synonymous with brain-machine interface, neural-controlled interface, mind-machine interface, and direct neural interface, all of which are in other research”.[66]

The report, written in 2020, advises to expect within the next five to 20+ years technologies such as those under development by DARPA, including devices to “read and write memories directly into the brain” (the DARPA RAM/RAM-Replay, ‘Neuro-FAST’ initiative), implantable microchips, and DARPA’s Next Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology N3 program,[67] which includes a ‘platform’ enabling the brain to transmit or receive magneto-electric signals via transducers injected into the body.[68]

Lest any skeptics feel inclined at this point to mutter ‘conspiracy theorist’, ‘disinformation’, ‘Anti-vaxxer’ or ‘crackpot nonsense’, we note that the majority of the documents listed above, and the majority of primary source materials cited throughout this article series, have been formally authenticated and disseminated through the National Technical Information Service and/or the DoD Washington Headquarters Services Directorate for Information Operations and Reports, or through the DoD Executive Services Directorate.

The 2020 Air Force BCI paper concluded:

BCI and related technology are pushing humanity closer to the philosophy of Transhumanism, which seeks to enhance human intellect and physiology through the use of technology. This philosophy may lead to a new definition of what it means to be human ….

Within the military realm, the USAF and DOD should be the first to set the standards for the acceptable use of this technology and then apply those standards through international agreements. This will only be accomplished if we lead in the development and testing of BCIs ….

In order to seize these opportunities, the USAF needs to act now on currently available technologies to foster a culture of increased experimentation and calculated risk-taking”.[69]

As luck would have it for transhumanism, increased experimentation and risk-taking had already been written, three years earlier, into the very foundations of the office of the Under Secretary for Research and Engineering. When that role was created as part of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2017, a conference report accompanying the Act read: “The conferees expect that the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering would take risks, press the technology envelope, test and experiment, and have the latitude to fail, as appropriate.”[70] Two years later, in 2019, a paper sponsored by the DoD Under Secretary’s office was advocating for the United States to pursue dominance in cyborg technologies, including through trial and error with military personnel.[71]

Does calling for human lab-rats in cyborg experimentation fulfil some aspect of the US DoD recruitment process? We wonder.

In sum, each of these transhumanist soldier ‘enhancement’ papers, which represent but a selection of similar documents, are consistent with the 2001 NASA Langley proposition that human beings are too “large”, “heavy”, “tender”, and “slow” for warfare, particularly compared to robots, which, NASA Langley points out, possess “greatly improved lethality”.[72] The foundational 2000 DoD document on a 21st century technological Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) likewise opened by proclaiming, “the technologies that will make our forces lighter, more mobile, and more lethal will be key”.[73] However, whether re-engineering human beings to match robots in their lethality constitutes ‘enhancement’ is not a subject of serious debate in these and other military-intelligence strategic vision and ‘futures’ literatures. Like the forward march into a world that revolves around technological capability rather than human welfare, lethality as ‘enhancement’ is simply accepted as unquestionable, and taken as a given.

But what of transhumanist designs on the civilian sector? Armies will be armies and astronauts will be astronauts. Super soldiers for combat and extremophiles for space, as described in Part 1, are one thing. But do the DoD and its agencies concern themselves with artificially engineering civilian populations?

Cyborg Civilians: Deep State Designs on Global Citizens
When NASA Langley opened its talk to the national security conference in 2001 with, “The ‘Bots ‘Borgs ‘& Humans Welcome you to 2025 AD”,[74] audience members could have been forgiven for thinking that the sole aim of the playful title was to garner laughs. A spoonful of humour helps the dystopia go down, etc.

https://propagandainfocus.com/wp-content...24x742.png

But could the same be said of publications from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI)? Together with the US Army War College Center for Strategic Leadership (CSL)? And the National Intelligence University (NIU)? If those three organisations had jointly sponsored a 104-page monograph on the subject of bots, borgs and humans in the years to 2030, could that level of military intelligence co-ordination be considered a joke? If the monograph had been commissioned as part of an ongoing series on “new and emerging ‘futures’ concepts”, with the “overarching goal” of “assist[ing] strategic and high-operational level decision makers” in their “critical analysis of national, military and intelligence issues within the Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational (JIIM) environment”, should that be dismissed as a little bit of banter?[75]

As reality would have it, in 2008 just such a document was published, as part of an ODNI think-tank initiative called Proteus. The Proteus consortium, like the DoD-backed NBIC initiative and the White House National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), dated to the turn of the millennium.

https://propagandainfocus.com/wp-content...24x721.png

By 2008, Proteus had grown into an international consortium involving an alphabet soup of agencies under the aegis of the ODNI, including the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency (IARPA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the US Joint Forces Command (USJFC), the US Marine Corps (USMC), the US Navy and others, along with numerous universities, international bodies such as Canadian, Israeli, British, Australian, Italian, French and Swiss military-intelligence bodies and institutions, the UN, and private corporations including Lockheed Martin. In 2008, the consortium published a monograph titled, Leadership in the Era of the Human Singularity: New Demands, New Skills, New Response.[76] **The monograph opened by noting:

The “human singularity” refers to the integration of technology into the human body so that levels of mental acuity and physical ability eclipse all previous known levels … A broad front of converging core technologies, such as nanotechnology, bioengineering, supercomputing, materials development, and robotics, may make such individuals commonplace by 2030; indeed, significant steps have already been taken to achieve this goal, and the singularity could arrive earlier.

The rise of the singularity and the resulting Enhanced Singular Individuals (henceforth referred to as ‘ESIs’), capable of outsized mental and physical performance, will have a major impact on the practice of leadership, a major factor in determining whether a society succeeds or fails … In fact, the singularity will override the parameters that traditionally define human performance, changing society in complex and subtle ways.

With the singularity [for instance], humanity will be heading into uncharted territory whose highly-talented denizens raise the specter that human beings will be rendered obsolete”. Similarly, “the singularity will change our ideas of humanness”.[77]

The careful and calculated modification of our self-perception as autonomous creatures in recent years is hardly surprising when seen in hindsight as part of the inexorable march toward full human automation. The paper stresses that in future decades “enhanced” individuals “will represent a growing portion of the population, not simply a small fraction … [which] will transform society”.[78] Building upon this projection, the bulk of the monograph concerns itself with the direction that such societal transformation is expected to take. Throughout, in order to assist ‘strategic and high-operational level decision makers’ in ‘the Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational environment’, discussion revolves around leadership challenges associated with the anticipated emergence of three strata of ‘beings’: The ‘Tweaked’, the ‘Freaked’, and the ‘Geeked’ classes. The monograph explains:

The Tweaked’s abilities result from the integration of singularity technologies with individuals’ biological systems … [These individuals] represent the mainstream of ESIs, those who benefit from that broad front of technologies applied in as many ways as scientists can devise.

The Freaked are new creations: cyborgs or humans with significant mechanized parts; A.I.-guided robots, clones designed for single functions or operations, group minds operating through an open source mental system via embedded quantum- or protein-based chips, robots with animal or human brains, and even animals with human intelligence or humans with animal traits … As fantastic as these possibilities seem, all are based on technologies that are well along in development or are in the prototype stage.

The Geeked are un-enhanced individuals (henceforth referred to as ‘Norms’) who depend on external devices to achieve competitive advantage: access to super-computing; control of virtual worlds leveraged into ‘real-world’ advantage; and gatekeepers who exercise control over energy, resources, and the technologies of crowd control and manipulation. The Geeked, of course, are already among us in the high tech industry”.[79]

The document, published under the banner of the Proteus consortium, which involves ~30 military / intelligence bodies across 11 nations in conjunction with numerous universities, written in 2008, stresses that:

The singularity is not simply a conceit devised by scientists, inventors, and futurists unduly entranced with technology. It is, rather, supported by a continuous stream of scientific advances that already can extend human life, establish interfaces between biological and synthetic systems, improve brain function, integrate robotic elements into the human body, build implants that offer ‘superhuman’ sight or hearing, clone individuals, create species hybrids (usually one trait from one species grafted to another) via gene-grafting, and develop ways to translate a person’s neuronal activity into their actual thoughts, among a host of other innovations.[80]

To anchor the point in concrete R&D, consistent with the foundational NBIC paper[81] and countless related documents distributed by the the DoD Washington Headquarters Services Directorate for Information Operations and Reports, the monograph adds, “the accelerating development of a few key technologies — nanotechnology, super-computing, genetic engineering, and robotics — is propelling the singularity”.[82]

In terms of leadership challenges posed by the coming Tweaked, Freaked and Geeked classes, the document warns that:

Many ESIs, especially the Freaked, will start out pretty much as servants or curiosities, as will simulacra such as holographic entities, cyborgs, and clones. The Tweaked, on the contrary, will leverage power from the beginning. Conflicts will flare in regard to recognition and compensation: do ESIs or their designers, owners, and/or handlers receive credit and rewards for a job well done? What fate lies in store for ESIs rendered obsolete by improved technology? Norms will not necessarily be loyal to their ‘own’; many may align with ESIs, and Norm leaders who can work well with ESIs will flourish.[83]

Questions that are expected to arise include, “when can an ESI own property? When does a cyborg receive a paycheck?” Meanwhile, “geeked leaders who control singularity technologies will eventually yield leadership to the Tweaked and Freaked as the latter groups gain confidence and independence”.[84]

As part of a world in which this unfolds:

… sex is no longer the only generative force; that honor will be shared by the technologies that create the singularity. The true unseen powers are not higher powers per se, but the source of ESIs’ gifts and the networked links that connect them to that source.[85]

Some readers may see the reference to these “true unseen powers” as an uncanny fulfillment of Edward Bernays’ 1928 description: “Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power …” Others may see foreshadowing of Yuval Noah Harari’s 2017 pronouncement that “Divinity is not far enough to describe what we are trying to do.”

With technology supplanting reproductive and higher powers, the document counsels that, ultimately, “ESIs will influence social organization to reflect and favor the expression of their outsized talents”. It cautions, “as pre-Singularity humans, we need to discard the assumption that we will always exert control or leadership over technology … At no other time in human history has the locus of leadership shifted from the strictly human to beings with greater mental capacity than our own [italics original]”.[86]

Throughout, behind the brash and brazen forecasts, there is the unspoken assumption that Proteus’ military-intelligence power-centres and their private partners can and should steer civilian leadership into a transhumanist future. With the DoD having explicitly assumed leadership responsibility for the requisite R&D,[87, 88] societies’ transhumanist trajectory appears to have, thereby, effectively and quietly been placed under military rule, in the process removing that trajectory from public oversight and electoral accountability.

Operating safely outside public accountability and oversight, the military-intelligence community may take transhumanism in one of two directions. According to Proteus’ monograph, a technologically stratified Tweaked, Freaked and Geeked society “could imply a commitment to creativity and innovation, with society organized to favor artists, visionaries, scientists, and inventors rather than profit-takers. Or it could result in 1984-like scenarios due to the power endowed by invasive, body- and psyche-penetrating technologies”.[89]

We can’t help but posit here that the prospect of the military-intelligence establishment using its transhumanist technologies to craft a society of artists and visionaries is quite a stretch. The advent of 1984-like scenarios, however, particularly on the back of the Covid era, requires little imagination.

Either way, it seems sufficiently clear that, as with all other new technologies designed and produced with planned obsolescence in mind, the promise of market-driven solutions for corruptible flesh will continue to pit one class of tweaked against the freaked or the geeked. One need only glance at divisions between the new government-funded and promoted social classes of updated, castrated, and otherwise adulterated non-binary tweaked versus the ‘norms’, or the geeked, to see where this grand operation is headed. In the words of the historian of the future beloved by the Giant class, Yuval Noah Harari, “You want to know how super-intelligent cyborgs might treat ordinary flesh-and-blood humans? Better start by investigating how humans treat their less intelligent animal cousins.”

But is such rhetoric mere hyperbole? Do these “futures” scenarios bear any meaningful relation to reality, or Is “futurology” a quack science? Are the powerful actors and organisations behind those scenarios merely fantasising about what might be possible in some hypothetical future or alternative universe? More specifically, does Proteus have any track record forecasting world events?

Proteus Insights From 2020, Circa 2000
The International Proteus consortium (officially the Proteus Management Group) was established in 2005, for the purpose of advising senior decision-makers, planners and intelligence analysts internationally on how to apply what it called its ‘Proteus Insights’. Those Proteus Insights were intended “to help solve complex issues on the future geo-strategic landscape”.[90]

The ‘Proteus Insights’ around which the 2005 international consortium revolved came from an original, smaller group that had been sponsored by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The original group involved members from the Canadian Office of Technology Foresight, the Naval Postgraduate School, the U.S. Army War College, the NRO, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the office of the Director, Central Intelligence (DCI). This original smaller group appeared on the national security landscape with a book in 2000 titled, ‘Proteus: Insights from 2020’.[91] The foundational book engaged in scenario-based forecasting looking specifically to the year 2020. On the strength of the book and its visions for 2020, the subsequent, transnational state-corporate-UN consortium was formed, in order to carry the ‘Proteus Insights’ forward. (Including in the 2008 Tweaked, Freaked and Geeked monograph.)

And just what were Proteus’ insights for the year 2020, advanced in the year 2000? What did the group foresee on the horizon 20 years hence? What was the vision so compelling that ~ 30 military / intelligence bodies across 11 nations came on board to build upon it? Was it Oxford transhumanist Bostrom’s vision of new “aesthetic and contemplative pleasures whose blissfulness vastly exceeds what any human being has yet experienced”?[92]

No. It was not. It was a pandemic. At least according to the contemporary definition of the term. In Proteus’ ‘insights’ for the year 2020, buried among a selection of other scenarios lay the description of a series of intractably mutating and recurring viral outbreaks around the globe. In the years leading to 2020 The Virus™ of Proteus’ storyline crippled societies and economies, saw revocation of citizens’ rights and freedoms, created social divisions and, finally, reached “a global dystopian level of intensity” by 2020.[93] As if given by some Divine revelation to the ancient oracles, the viral dystopia in the Proteus forecast had been sparked by a novel virus in an unfamiliar land: a “new” virus which, unlike previous deadly viruses “was highly contagious and could be spread human to human through airborne and/or aerosol contact”.[94] Proteus’ “new” Virus™ “mutat[ed] so rapidly that very few people remained immune”.[95] As in the real world of 2020, unlike the common cold or flu, “victims of the virus often did not show symptoms for two or three weeks after infection. Thus, it was much easier to spread the virus unknowingly through travel and daily contact with others”.[96]. Accordingly, “viable states” such as the US and Europe closed their borders.[97]

And so it seems that life in 2020 imitated not only NASA Langley slides, as we outlined in Part 1, but Proteus Insights™ as well. The perfection of the global pantomime seems uncanny. These facts may beg the question for many: Is Proteus some sort of new-fangled New Age prophet?

It is particularly noteworthy that in 2000 Proteus invented a Virus™ distinguished by its asymptomatic transmission. This was a fiction that justified authoritarian governance and totalitarian control both in the Proteus scenario and in the real world. In the 2020 that ultimately came to pass, already by November a large study involving nearly 10 million subjects yielded not a single case of asymptomatic transmission.[98] Other work pointed to misinterpretation of meaninglessly high PCR cycle thresholds as the culprit, underpinning specious claims of asymptomatic infectiousness.[99, 100, 101]

Nevertheless, as in the Proteus scenario, this particular claimed feature of The Virus™ — doggedly maintained by real-world authorities despite evidence to the contrary — is what enabled repressive, authoritarian police-state tactics such as border closures, lockdowns, checkpoints, and vaccine passports for travel and participation in society.[eg 102-110]

In these and other details, Proteus forecasting from the year 2000 for a viral dystopia leading into the pivotal year of 2020 clearly sets the stage for the Rockefeller 2010 “Lockstep” scenario[111], Event 201 in October 2019[112], and many other ‘pandemic preparedness’ exercises.”

In the year 2000, as it advanced its ‘Insights from 2020’ Proteus wrote,

the symptoms of the new Virus … were horrible and confusing … For the first 3–5 days they mimicked those of a bad cold or flu … [but] then symptoms worsened to include violent coughing, difficult breathing and extremely high fever. In some cases, patients bled into the skin and other organs[113]

(Recall that early in the Covid operation death from internal bleeding and organ failure formed part of the seminal scare campaign). In the U.S. the elderly and vulnerable urban poor were the Proteus pandemic’s main victims. Once again correspondence with the details of the Covid operation is remarkably close.

Meanwhile in the real world, looking back over the past few years since the rollout of the 2020 pandemic narrative, with its ravages on the elderly and vulnerable as Proteus had prophesied, one cannot possibly maintain with any serious appeal to logic the argument that a virus possessed the ability to commit the mass atrocities we witnessed, including foreseeable and preventable death through lockdowns,[114, 115] treatment-suppression[116, 117] and vaccine mandates,[118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124] numbering in their millions and counting.[125, 126, 127]

In its main point of departure from the 2020 that came to pass, Proteus scheduled its series of worsening outbreaks to begin in 2010 (recall, however, that the flu season of 2009-2010 in the real world saw the failed Swine Flu scare),[128] such that by 2020 a rolling and recurring pandemic had upended the globe. Imagine the opportunities for enterprising investors expanding their portfolios and entering the vaccine development sector back in 2000. A tip of the cap to Bill and Melinda Gates for their launch of the Foundation in 2000 that would become the centre of the Covid show in 2020.

The Proteus scenario explained:

The world of 2020 looks bleak. Since 2010, the globe has been swept by highly contagious, deadly viruses that flare, die down and return in mutated form. The World economy has declined sharply as trade and commerce have dried up, and is now mired in a serious, long-term recession. Many nations have become either authoritarian, ruled by demagogic strongmen, or simply succumbed to chaos.[129]

With this in mind we muse: Was the failed over-hyping of the 2009-2010 Swine Flu[130] an effort to build more gradually to the viral dystopia of 2020, as per the Proteus vision? Was it a coincidence that in 2009 the WHO definition of ‘pandemic’ was watered down,[131] making the Swine Flu scare (and the Covid operation) possible? Were it not for diligent and perspicacious European parliamentarians and rapporteurs thwarting a co-ordinated over-reaction to the Swine Flu in 2010,[132, 133, 134] might the timing and pace of The Virus™ that upended the globe in 2020 have more closely matched Proteus’ schedule? Needless to say, such questions will remain unanswered. It is, however, worth noting, as we explore in Part 3, that during a 2004 presentation on Proteus ‘Insights from 2020’ to a Command and Control symposium, the US Army War College Center for Strategic Leadership described “biological viruses” as “instruments of power”.[135] Regardless, it is a testament to the Blitzkreig shock-and-awe propaganda operations[136, 137] and psychological warfare[138] of 2020 that, ultimately, Proteus’ vision became a reality, seemingly overnight.

As Proteus’ fictional pandemic wore on, “the world economy continued in decline”. In the US, society became “highly divisive and fragmented”. Around the world, “developed countries struggled with civil libertarian issues … [By 2020] people have become adjusted to fewer personal freedoms … Individuals carry a ‘MedID’ used to enter anywhere, even one’s own home, and it is necessary to walk through an ‘AntiViro chamber’ to go out of the house, or to pass in and out of enclaves .…There is extensive security camera surveillance in high risk areas”.[139]

Fast forward from the Proteus’ scenario to 2020 and although MedIDs disappeared as swiftly as they arrived amidst mass global citizen resistance [140, 141, 142, 143], the failed real-world push for ‘vaccine passports’ had been planned in advance by the European Commission [144], and was backed by MITRE, a leading military-intelligence contractor.[145] Meanwhile, extensive security camera surveillance is on its way in 15-minute city zones.

Was it the erosion of citizen rights and freedoms and heavy biodigital surveillance that peaked the international intelligence community’s interest in Proteus following its publication of Insights from 2020?

Finally, in a development involving a pandemic-inspired global transfer of power, Proteus declared of its disease-ridden 2020 world:

The World Health Organization (WHO) is now the most important international organization … The United Nations coordinates military security efforts with WHO programs.[146]

Which seems rather prescient in light of the upcoming WHO pandemic treaty and revisions to International Health Regulations (IHR), under which unelected WHO functionaries would gain broad powers to unilaterally declare global health emergencies. With subsequent emergency powers the WHO could assume authority to compel, rather than advise, member states to comply with WHO directives. Those WHO directives could include the imposition of ‘health certificates’ and vaccine passports[147, 148, 149] — or ‘MedID’s’, vaccine mandates, quarantining of citizens, and ‘disinformation’ measures, together affecting freedom of movement, freedom of speech and other citizen entitlements and fundamental rights. Negotiations for the IHR amendments have been held largely in secret, and are slated for possible adoption, along with the WHO Pandemic Treaty, at the 77th World Health Assembly in May of 2024, more or less on schedule, if slightly delayed, according to Proteus’ ‘insights’.[150, 151, 152, 153]

In short, Proteus has an uncanny history of forecasting world events. Accordingly, we wonder, would it be wise to ignore Proteus — this time on the issue of Tweaked, Freaked and Geeked classes — a second time around?

To address these sorts of questions, we dig more deeply in Part 3 into specific preparations being made for transhumanists societies, both conceptually and in policy terms, with attention to dual use technologies (those with both civilian and military applications), and military operations in civilian disguise. Part 4 focuses on concrete underlying R&D, leading back to the Covid epoch and the role that injectable bio/nano platforms play in transhumanism and the new public health theatre.

Military Operations in Civilian Disguise, Part 3: Bio-Nano Governance and Terms of Use for Humans 2.0
Johnson, Broudy, and Hughes | PropagandaInFocus.com
May 6, 2024

Abstract
Since government must be involved in the accumulation of capital to legitimate its activities, and since humans are, in the eyes of government, key resources, government must therefore be involved in activities that manage, control and increase the efficiency of these resources whilst at the same time fostering the spread of business. As we have outlined throughout Parts 1 and 2, history shows evidence of how the transhumanist movement has gained a foothold in society through government and business activities, in accordance with high-level military-intelligence forecasting and scenario planning, and how the global program may be viewed and understood as the only rational response to increasingly outdated humans who, save for the gift of high-tech bio/nano brain-chip upgrades, cannot compete against the machines. These kinds of sentiments, wrong as they are, are reflected in language output, which represents the centre of our thinking. Part 3, thus, introduces aspects of cognitive science as a way of examining more closely how centres of power conceptualise human beings and their environments as containers to be managed and controlled by authorities, and how these conceptualisations appear in language, in policy, and in practice. We make the case that behind the theatre of government, electoral politics and manufactured global crises, transhumanist battle-plans have been consistently enacted in policy and in governance, such that “democratic processes” do little more than provide civilian cover for military operations.

Introduction
As we discussed throughout Part 2, official documents tell the story of a sustained, well-funded, and furtive military-intelligence campaign to transform the human being from a natural biological life-form possessing unalienable rights, agency, and sovereignty to a synthetically modified entity whose body and psyche are penetrated by the latest technological “enhancements”. Clever neologisms are, thus, needed to represent the imagined ontological states new to the human experience, to make these novel forms of existence acceptable in the ears and in the hearts of the submissive masses. The project begs the question: Are we really being parsed into totally new social categories as described in the Proteus papers?

One way to answer the question is to examine more deeply how language is used to legitimate practices of redefining humans and reengineering both biological and social systems. Since language is at the very centre of concept formation in humans,[1] it represents a key area of understanding how it reflects popular thinking about how and why certain actions are being taken in the real world — how and why such absurd social policies, for example, are crafted and for what ultimate aim.

In many countries today, official language policies directly reflect the thinking of those in power re-conceptualising the female as something other than what she has been for millennia — the very nucleus of human reproduction. The patriarchy, as it is commonly known today, pushing upon populations the policies of dividing the female into her constituent parts for invasion, commodification,[2] and financialisation [3] have had to invent clever new names to effectively camouflage the larger social program of dissociating the natural woman from her immense womanly powers. If the human is to become trans-human, those innate powers of (re)production must be subdued to make way for a world in which, according to a 2008 Proteus monograph:

… sex is no longer the only generative force; that honor will be shared by the technologies that create the singularity. The true unseen powers are not higher powers per se, but the source of ESIs’ gifts and the networked links that connect them to that source.[4]

To pave the social and economic path toward new artificial generative forces, new artificial linguistic categories (i.e. uterus-havers)[5] are now under construction for the restructuring of the woman in our minds. The concept of the woman, known for millennia to be at the centre of various forms of social and cultural power, is being erased. In its place is the form of some ambiguous sexless other — fully stripped of her feminine charisma, faculties of reason, emotion and allure along with her additional powers of reproduction — the very crux of the long unsolvable problem for elites engaged in the work of reengineering the social world. Explaining the depraved logic of this official top-down assault against the body and the rational mind requires a pathology that can trace to its roots the kind of debased thinking now pervasive across the world.

For help in assessing the claimed necessity of recasting the human female into these new social and biological molds, we draw upon the work of George Lakoff and his classic argument which bolstered, at the time, ongoing research in cognitive science.[6] In Women, Fire and Dangerous Things (1985), Lakoff elaborates a fascinating aspect of human ability to process the plethora of sense data we encounter every moment of our lives and how we, thus, conceptualise what these data mean and how we might recognise and navigate the complex social world, survive and thrive.

“Categorization”, observed Lakoff, “is automatic and unconscious, and if we become aware of it all, it is only in problematic cases”, such as when politicians seek to rationalise and legitimate policies aimed at dispossessing people of their natural rights and abilities to reproduce their lives. Humans create mental classifications for the things we detect and perceive, and so our very words reflect the categories we put things and concepts into. In socially conditioning radical new beliefs and behaviours for a new dehumanised economic order, the trick is to re-engineer norms and concepts so thoroughly that only a new synthetic form of thought and speech will follow and become widely recognisable and acceptable — the default lingo unquestionable.

Theorising the Transhugenderman Category
Why, for thousands of years, were only men eligible to compete in certain sports and women in others? It was to the eye of reason and the principles of fairness that our forebears acknowledged key differences between the two genders — wo/man. One theory, in particular, has helped researchers grapple with the complex mental processes of forming common sense conclusions drawn from extrapolated sense data. Prototype Theory describes the sort of thinking that informs our decisions for how we go about categorising the multiplicity of natural phenomena we encounter.

The various taxonomies in the sciences, for example, are the result of human perception of objects and behaviours — such as reproduction — and our tendency to consider and categorise these phenomena. Theorists such as Brent Berlin, Paul Kay,[7] Eleanor Rosch, Barbara Lloyd,[8] Eugene Hunn,[9] Carolyn Mervis,[10] Barbara Tversky[11] and others have described an important level of human interaction with and recognition of the external environment located in gestalt perception, mental imagery, and motor movements. At this level of perception, we function most effectively in dealing with discontinuities in our surrounding environment. So, it is easy to recognise, for instance, when one man is sufficiently equipped to compete fairly against another in the octagon.

Over the past millennia, humans have had little difficulty recognising patterns and discontinuities in the various strengths and weaknesses exhibited in both sexes, and so this basic level of cognition helped to clear the groundwork for the roles humans naturally adopted in civilising communities, cultures, societies, and landscapes. We can generally recognise outward differences across ethnic categories, but another level down in perceptual acuity is considerably more complex. The difference between someone born and raised in Seoul, for example, and someone born and raised in Jeju is not so easy to determine at first glance.

As the theory goes, our basic-level gestalt perception isn’t adjusted for easily recognising such key differences at lower levels. This makes sense if we consider the origin and development of the scientific method, itself, as a systematic effort to discern clearly what is accessible to observation. Overt discontinuities in otherwise predictable patterns of behaviour trigger deeper levels of scientific inquiry (if the science has not been corrupted and stifled by the promise of favour or material profit). Lakoff argues that studies of categorisation at the basic level suggest that human experience itself is, at this level, structured pre-conceptually. It is why we can so easily see discontinuities and patterns of discontinuity at the basic level but need more time, careful observation, and study — with better tools and laboratory techniques — to even begin to notice more complex patterns and discontinuities at the lower level.

The naked eye alone would be useless to the epidemiologist grappling with what appears to be apparent cause-and-effect connections between Covid-19 injectable gene therapies, for instance, and the shocking precipitous decline in global rates of fertility.[12] In fact, the new injectable mRNA technology remains largely fixed — thanks to the dominant corporate media system — in the basic-level mental category for “vaccine” precisely because of the decades of background conditioning in the culture and the aggressive marketing that directs public consciousness — fusing the technology with all the positive signs and symbols signifying the sterile work we imagine, and expect, in clinical immunisations. In much the same way, the naked eye alone has proven increasingly incapable of helping observers identify the discontinuities that had, for millennia, distinguished men from women in a culture nowadays swayed by the systematic top-down operation fusing and, thus, erasing both with “gender-affirming care”.[13]

Consider, too, the difficulties in accurately assessing the signs of other serious medical conditions disguised by ordinary symptoms of, say, indigestion. Overt signs of dyspepsia that persist and defy treatment may, in fact, camouflage a cancerous war against the pancreas. A deeper examination of the root cause of persistent symptoms with an MRI will bring the physician closer to understanding the gravity of the patient’s condition. Furthermore, other related concepts of war, into which the basic-level conceptual category is filled, tend to contain images typical of conventional weapons: bombs, bullets, bayonets, missiles, and jet fighters to name a few. The weapons of a war fought on a battlefield contain all the conventional signifiers we imagine when warfighters strive against an enemy invader. The stealth weapons of a transhumanist war against humanity, however, are hardly conventional and, thus, exceedingly difficult to recognise without appropriate laboratory tools and techniques.

Categories for Herding and Culling
In a world where the value of bodies, brains, and bloodstreams is constantly weighed against the demands of the free market and the “financialization of everything”,[14] who has the time for such activities as deeper independent studies? The attention of casual corporate news consumers captured by the voices in the mainstream echo chambers confirming their biases are already over-burdened. Discerning the key differences, for example, between the formation of salt crystals in blood samples and the apparent self-assembly of nanostructures exposed to electromagnetic fields requires study, some knowledge of nanomaterials, intracorporeal networks, the plans of the transhumanists, and historical context well beyond what corporate media offer.

Distinguishing these differences requires some knowledge of the larger story of how agencies of power and authority have taken liberties with members of the “human herd”[15] and subjected women — and men — surreptitiously to various biotech injections, chemical adulterations, and genetic manipulations. It is likely why the contemporary war on women and its sophisticated weapons are not so easily recognisable. Complicating the general effort to recognise this war are those caught in states of emotional agitation who are less likely to focus on lower-level patterns of discontinuity. Furthermore, they likely have not yet formed from their perceptions the basic-level categories for such novel forms of warfare.

Since the emergence of the Covid-19 narrative, the state-sponsored campaigns of fear and loathing and dehumanisation, launched across the entire globe, have been integral to coordinating programs of successful cultural conditioning. Many members of the human community, fearful and continually agitated by the practices of social engineering, now put themselves in the category of synthetic objects ever ready for modification rather than natural subjects possessing agency and sovereignty. To them, therefore, maintaining personal bodily integrity means little. Even many feminists — long advocates of a woman’s right to choose what goes into her body — have handed control over their bodily integrity and autonomy to those pushing mandates and “upgrades”.[16] Perhaps, this level of acquiescence isn’t so surprising in this day and age.

In his book, The Body in the Mind, Mark Johnson makes a compelling argument for the embodiment of certain kinesthetic image schema.[17] Our experiences, he argues, are structured in profound ways prior to, and apart from, our mental processes of conceptualising. Johnson argues that image schema are themselves constructed by certain recurring patterns of bodily experience. These existing concepts, he notes, may impose upon our perceptions further structuring of what we experience, but basic experiential structures are present regardless of any such imposition of concepts. This may seem confusing or hardly worthy of our attention, but if we consider language itself, we can see the extent to which pre-conceptualisation is tacitly baked into verbal output.

One example among many that Johnson expounds is the container schema. We conceptualise containers as having boundaries with exteriors and interiors. We handle containers, put things in, and dump things out. Containers can also conceal from external view details of their contents, so the mystery of what might be in them can trigger fear or confusion. Consider, over the preceding four years (as of this writing), how perfectly ordinary bodily functions have been reconfigured in our minds — the random cough or sneeze having been remade into a kind of biological weapon to fear. The conceptual image of a container is the most basic-level distinction between our perception of what’s in — and what’s out. If we understand our bodies as containers, it is easy to see how we conceptualise the processing of all sorts of chemicals, foods, vapors, and liquids and even ideas about ourselves in the larger world framed always as a closed container. In the container, we ingest, digest, process, excrete, exhale, expel, eject, and deliver. Perfectly natural practices now being pitched as detrimental to the “sustainability” of the container itself.

As Johnson points out, our understanding of our own bodies as containers pales in comparison to all the other daily experiences we tacitly know and engage with in terms of the container. What follows are numerous implicitly understood in-out orientations that occur in routine states of arousal to conscious awareness and to reproduction — that incredible natural process that must come under the control of the transnational Giants[18] invested in the Revolution.

ENTERING CONSCIOUSNESS
we rise out of slumber
come into consciousness
climb out from under the comforter
shifting our weight onto our feet
step into our slippers
stretch out our limbs
take in a deep breath of fresh air
shuffle into the kitchen
through the haze of a waking state
de-containerize our Corn Flakes
pour some into a bowl
pour in some milk
dip a spoon into the bowl
Scoop up some cereal

ENTERING REPRODUCTION
the man goes into the woman
sem*n comes out of him
travels through her birth canal
into her uterus
his seed breaks through the barrier
of her egg, and the fertilized egg
attaches to the wall of her womb
in time a protective barrier surrounds
the embryo and new life develops
inside the amniotic sac
at 9 months gestation, the baby pushes
through the protective layer
breaking the water
and entering into a new material world

To what extent can we understand practices of privatisation and investment in the earth as a closed container that must be protected from the menace of natural lifeforms that gestate and spawn more unwanted future carbon footprints? To the Giants who appear self-justified and obliged to poke, prod, prick, inject, and drive the “herd” into mental spaces of obedience to the demands of a new order, the language ought to reveal something deeply profound about how the owners conceptualise.

Earth as a Closed Container Whose Content Must be Controlled
Precisely what motivates contemporary claims that Earth is over-populated and that populations need to be reduced? Most people point to Thomas Malthus, the 18th century economist and cleric, who was moved to posit that, “The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man”.[19] Others simply parrot a contemporary reconstitution of the Malthus proposition propagated by corporate media. Of course, Malthus offered the claim in the closing years of the 1700s when earth’s population was in fact roughly the size of India’s today.[20] Since its 1968 resuscitation by the Club of Rome, eugenicists[21] around the world have fuelled claims (enough to fill a book) that someone needs to do something about the rate of ever-rising populations. In Limits to Growth (1972), Secretary-General U Thant dramatises in his epigraph the urgent need to curb births:

“ …, the Members of the United Nations have perhaps ten years left in which to subordinate their ancient quarrels and launch a global partnership to curb the arms race, to improve the human environment, to defuse the population explosion [a wink and nod to Paul Erhlich’s hyperbolic “Population Bomb”?], …. If such a global partnership is not forged within the next decade, then I very much fear that the problems I have mentioned will have reached such staggering proportions that they will be beyond our capacity to control.”[22]

Of course, since Limits to Growth first appeared, the 1980s have come and gone, and the only significant shift — apart from the consistently renewed apocalyptic warnings issued every decade — has been in the main narrative: away from the Coming Ice Age and toward Global Warming. Today, others figures, like Sadhguru, WEF’s religious inspiration, simply continue offering up the eugenicist mantra: “All the religious groups are against me because I’m talking about population: they want more souls on the planet; I want less”.

Implicit in these aspirations is the belief that drastic measures must be taken to regulate the power of women to cultivate in their wombs new lifeforms that will only add to these ever-rising numbers. After all, everyone knows that babies demand sustenance, and a crying child with an empty stomach is a constant reminder that the woman and the donor of the seed (man) need to come to terms with the brute force of the economics of cultivating offspring.

Hence, the propaganda campaign to promote neo-feudal economic arrangements (”You will own nothing and you’ll be happy”) simultaneously serves to agitate fear in men and women from engaging and investing in their natural birthright to reproduce. If women (‘bodies with vagin*s'[23]) are the very centre of population and cultural (re)production, their eggs, according to the eugenicist logic, must ultimately come under the control of the state ever concerned about resource allocation and domestic production — a dictate of the command economy of Nazi Germany when “your body was not your own [and] it belonged to the national community since reproductive policy was a matter of state”.[24] This goes especially so for the so-called stakeholders invested mentally and monetarily in the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” fretting over who could ultimately gain control over their investments and all the other natural resources they appear to believe are rightly theirs.

Cyborg Societies: Transhumanist Designs on Governance
With a sharper focus on such contemporary social engineering efforts to conceal, debase and replace what it means to be human, Proteus’ visions for post-human societies, described in Part 2, seem less remote. Consistent with Proteus’ projections, the linguistic mechanisation of that most profoundly awe-inspiring feat of biology — giving birth and creating life — parallels work in academic transhumanism under which humans are morally and legally indistinguishable from their non-human counterparts. Academic concepts such as ‘post-human dignity’[25, 26] and arguments against human rights as a distinct category[27], serve to relegate human beings to the same status as technological products, or transhumanist merchandise, adorned in the discourse of bioethics. Thus, in keeping with a long corporate tradition of pushing the technological envelope and upgrading technologically outdated stock, tweaking any beings who just happen to be human, and turning them into Proteus ‘Freaks’, is a logical next step.

Moreover, to dismiss Proteus’ forecasts for Humanity 2.0 requires ignoring an extensive dossier of supporting official documents, with an overt theme of marketizing, subduing and, ultimately, discontinuing an increasingly outmoded (human) product. The landmark DoD-backed NBIC ‘futures’ report at the turn of the millennium [28], for instance, like Proteus’ 2008 monograph,[29] made clear that transhumanist “enhancements” were not intended for military personnel alone.

While the Proteus monograph advised that, “the first waves of ESIs” (aka cyborgs) would likely emerge from military research labs[30], the earlier, overarching NBIC project always envisioned a broader societal bio-nano-info-cogno future, with the potential to “change our species”.[31] It is hardly any wonder why the dominant myth-makers in Hollywood would produce a deluge in recent years of superhero trans-humans emerging from secret military-industrial research labs.

As part of the evolutionary pathway towards a changed species and society, the expectation of the NBIC project was that, by 2020, electronic devices would become sufficiently advanced for civilian populations to experience a “significant shift in our view of the dividing line between what is natural and what is man-made”.[32] That fundamental shift in perception of the natural and synthetic was, in turn, anticipated to ease the societal path towards the merger of humans and machines.

Ultimately, the human-machine hybrids of the future were cast in NBIC and subsequent official documents as serving not only national security purposes, but also commercial interests (described variously as ‘economic prosperity’, ‘wealth’, ‘competitiveness’, ‘e-business’, ‘the nation’s productivity’, ‘work efficiency’, ‘the entertainment industry’, ‘the tourist industry’, ‘new products and services’ and so-on), as well as medical and IT industries, and a perceived, unquestioned imperative for nations to pursue “technological superiority”.[33]

Accordingly, via government, commercial, medical and educational avenues, the NBIC project and a plethora of subsequent-military intelligence reports foresaw for everyday citizens the same transhumanist “enhancements” slated for soldiers. These include genetic engineering, brain implants, brain-to-machine and brain-to-brain interfaces, engineered tissue, synthetic organs and cells, nano implants, and bio-nano electronics / molecular electronics. All of which enable virtual environments that could, with the help of bio-nanotechnology, “transcend the biological limitations of human senses and create a new human relationship to the physical environment”.[34]

Indeed, as illustrated below, explicit references to civilian cyborg scenarios consistent with Proteus’ projections abound in military-intelligence reports, which are simultaneously peppered with policy and governance recommendations to turn the strategic visions into material reality. In those reports, a number of key themes emerge: Humans are expected to fall to the bottom of the social hierarchy; injections are a method of technologically transitioning human beings; certain transhumanist interventions are expected to become mandatory; governments should lead society-wide human augmentation efforts, and; governments and the private sector will partner in the whole endeavour, marching forth with ‘national security’ and ‘economic prosperity’ side by side.

In ‘Human Augmentation: The Dawn of a New Paradigm’ (2021), for instance, the UK Ministry of Defence writes that human augmentation, which conceptualises “the person as a platform…a human platform … is relevant across society and Defence … Designer babies”, it says, may be “likely within the next 30 years”.[35]

Societally, like the Proteus monograph of 2008, the 2021 MoD document foresees the emergence of social classes stratified by their ‘enhancement’ status. It says that:

Human augmentation is likely to exacerbate inequality, and could lead to societal tensions. The wealthy are expected to be early adopters of human augmentation, and they could use their acquired superior abilities to entrench their status. In time this could lead to an elite overclass that could become genetically distinct from the rest of humanity, and leave an unaugmented underclass as relatively disadvantaged as the illiterate are in today’s societies”. Those who reject technological adulteration, moreover, “could be marginalised, or even persecuted”.[36]

Nevertheless, the MoD report argues that “there may be a moral obligation to augment people” on certain grounds, such as in the name of “wellbeing” or protection from “novel threats”. (See Part 1 for discussion of the euphemistic linguistic shell game involving sanitising and eulogising language — such as ‘wellbeing’ or ‘protection’ — within which questionable transhumanist agendas can hide.) Regarding “novel threats” the document adds, “It could be argued that treatments involving novel vaccination processes … are examples of human augmentation already in the pipeline”. Given the date (2021), we wonder whether the MoD was referring to “novel threats” such as Covid-19, and “novel vaccination processes” such as the bio-nano Covid-19 ‘vaccines’, which were purportedly designed to synthetically ‘augment’ (read adulterate) the human genome and immune system using synthetic RNA. The document continues, “The future of human augmentation should not, however, be decided by ethicists or public opinion … rather, governments will need to develop a clear policy position that maximises the use of human augmentation”.[37]

Which, indeed, governments did do in 2021. Clear policy positions on ‘vaccine’ mandates maximised the use of gene-based injections to ‘augment’ human immunity. As advised by the MoD, public opinion and ethical due diligence were cast aside, with disastrous consequences.[38] This confirms that democracy today is a mere husk, an artifice with which to distract and fool the population, while real power lies with the executive branch, enacting policies formulated on the basis of military intelligence.

Having already experienced governments maximising the use of injectable bio-nano technology under the auspices of Covid-19, and the guidance of the WHO, with the WHO’s impending authority over nation-states [39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44], as forecast by Proteus[45], and its associated global power to unilaterally impose emergency governance, including bio-nano “health” requirements, we surmise that the WHO may be positioned to emerge as a leading source of policy that “maximises the use of human augmentation”. We revisit this issue in Part 4.

Down the path of ‘augmentation’, in Cyborg Soldier 2050: Human/Machine Fusion and the Implications for the Future of the DOD (2019), The US Army DEVCOM and its co-authors write:

Introduction of augmented human beings into the general population … will accelerate in the years following 2050 and will lead to imbalances, inequalities, and inequities in established legal, security, and ethical frameworks. Each of these technologies will purportedly afford some level of performance improvement to end users, which will widen the performance gap between enhanced and unenhanced individuals and teams.

Such technologies should be backed by a “whole-of-nation” approach, the report recommends, while negative narratives around them are to be countered.[46]

Once again, a military-intelligence body is advising governments in ostensibly democratic countries to push transhumanist technologies (i.e. genetic and bio-nano technologies) upon their populations. When and how did DEVCOM, a US Army science and technology offshoot, whose 2019 Cyborg report was sponsored by the office of the third highest ranking DoD official, assume that authority? Is it relevant that since 2020 the deployment of gene-based bio-nano Covid injections in both the US [47, 48,] and Australia,[49] supposedly on health grounds, was co-ordinated by military-intelligence bodies rather than health bodies?

The Military and Covid-19 Injections
In the United States, Operation Warp Speed (OWS), the U.S. project to develop, produce, and distribute 300 million doses of a “coronavirus vaccine” by January 2021, was compared to the Manhattan Project by President Trump when he unveiled it on May 16, 2020, a clear allusion to top-secret military technology.[50]

OWS was led, not by scientists and healthcare specialists, but by the military. An organisational chart shows that 61 of the 90 leadership positions in OWS were occupied by DoD officials, including four generals.[51] The military’s role was not merely to assist with logistics; rather, the DoD was “in full control” of the “vaccination” programme from its inception, including “development, manufacturing, clinical trials, quality assurance, distribution and administration”.[52] The White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator was Deborah Birx, whose colourful scarves created a civilian appearance while media reports touted her as the next head of the HHS, a civilian agency;[53] Birx, however, holds the rank of Colonel. The “Covid-19 vaccine” rollout in the United States, as in Europe and Australia it seems, was a camouflaged military operation from start to finish.[54, 55]

Under Operation Warp Speed, contracts were clandestinely awarded to “vaccine” companies via Advanced Technology International, which has close ties to the CIA.[56] The use of a non-governmental intermediary meant that regulatory oversight and transparency conferred by regular federal contracting mechanisms could be bypassed.

In a biopolitical era where control is exercised directly over human bodies (Agamben, 1998),[57] – with military-grade bio-nano technologies deployed through “’Trojan Horse’ ‘civilian’ systems”[58] and so-called “vaccines” doubling as transhumanist delivery mechanisms,[59, 60] in a transhumanist war on humanity – injections provide the perfect weapon to penetrate behind enemy lines.[61–66]

Military Operations in Civilian Disguise?
In addition to its assumption of dominion over civilian bodies, documents such as the DEVCOM report[67] illustrate that Proteus is not the only high-level military-intelligence actor advising senior decision makers to prepare for societies stratified along transhumanist class lines.

Similarly, and consistent with the notion of obligatory ‘enhancement’, a 2009 research report from the Air War College of the US Air Force titled, ‘Cognition 2035: Surviving a Complex Environment through Unprecedented Intelligence’ talks about “Enhanced Human Intelligence” being compulsory in some scenarios by 2035, for instance as a condition of employment. The report concludes that, “despite the potential pitfalls of cognitive technologies, they must be pursued”.[68] But why? Is “enhanced human intelligence” even a thing?

On the level of R&D policy, in a 2013 Statement by the DARPA Director to the United States Senate Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, the Director pledged DARPA’s commitment to working with the civilian sector to advance technologies such as synthetic biology, brain-computer interfaces and robotics. She presciently added that DARPA was at the time working to “accelerate the timeline” for “novel techniques that will enable the human body to directly manufacture its own vaccines”. One of DARPA’s objectives for those vaccines, the Director told the Senate Subcommittee was, “bypassing traditional vaccine manufacturing processes that can take months”.[69] In other words, accelerating the novel ‘vaccines’ to market. Such acceleration of novel vaccination technology later came to pass in the form of a Moderna-DARPA collaboration on the synthetic mRNA platform of 2020, rolled out at Warp Speed.

With equal prescience, in that same year, a 2013 follow-up report to the foundational NBIC document of 2002, this time focussed on the societal rollout of nano-bio-info-cogno technologies, predicted, in keeping with NASA’s timeline for a BioNANO Age, that from 2020 onwards the “convergence” of bio-nano technology and society would be “systemic”, and driven by a “higher level purpose”.[70] (A higher level purpose, we wonder, such as combating a “novel threat” as noted by the UK MoD, in the form of a “novel” virus, creating an “obligation” to use DARPA’s novel auto-immunisation technology?)[71] The 2013 paper was sponsored by NASA and the Office of Naval Research among others, with contributors and reviewers including Moderna co-founder Robert Langer, and personnel from Johnson & Johnson, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Microsoft and the US Army. It was titled, ‘Convergence of knowledge, technology, and society (CKTS): Beyond Convergence of Nano-Bio-Info-Cognitive Technologies’. The report moved a step beyond fostering the convergence of technology and biology, which underpins transhumanism, to advocating the convergence of technology and governance, which underpins technocracy.

To this end, the document sought “radical paradigm transformations in human endeavors” to “accelerate progress in the foundational NBIC technologies”. The document advocated a “new governance model” that would involve “public-private partnerships” and a “global convergence network”.[72] By 2020, with the “higher level purpose” of a war on a virus, the WEF’s network of public-private partnerships and its push for “convergence” of our physical, digital and biological identities (under the Fourth Industrial Revolution moniker) seemed to fit the bill. The 2013 CKTS document also advocated drawing on artificially augmented and inter-connected brains (which it referred to as “convergent cognitive technologies”) for future decision-making, particularly in the area of public health, and “at all levels of society”.[73] We critique the viability of such proposals, and their likely true intention, below.

By 2020, as public-private partnerships, including with CKTS report contributors Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and Microsoft, were gearing up for their military-style, lockdown-driven, bio-nano, injection-based “higher level purpose” war on a virus, a NASA-Langley report titled ‘Disruptive Technologies and Their Impacts Upon Society’ included a section titled, ‘Increasing Cyborgism’. The report observed that “humans are developing Humanity 2.0”. It declared society to be “entering the Virtual Age [which NASA Langley had previously slated to commence post-2020, as we described in Part 1] with major shifts to direct brain to machine interaction, humans merging with machines, immersive digital reality, autonomous robotics, tele-everything, a global sensor grid and a shared global mind”. The report added, almost as an aside, “The major existential issue will then become ‘Whither Humans’?”[74]

Who needs “heavy”, “tender”, “slow”, carbon-emitting, climate-changing humans on an ‘over-populated’ planet anyway?

Dual-Use Technologies and Bio-Nano Power
Approximately twenty years before NASA-Langley declared society’s entry into the Virtual Age in 2020, at the turn of the millennium when the course towards Humanity 2.0 was being charted in the 424-page DoD-backed NBIC report, advancements in brain-machine interfaces were being viewed as “an important next step in human evolution, potentially as important as the evolution of the first language spoken between our ancestors”. Via brain-to-brain and brain-to-web connections, it was hoped that “linked enhanced individuals” of the future would form “a networked society of billions of human beings”, together creating a “global collective intelligence”, or hive mind.[75] In other words, officialdom’s vision for its “enhanced” citizenry of the future was as nodes on a vast network.

Such a development, needless to say, irrespective of whether it ‘enhances’ the lives of the individuals concerned, would significantly enhance the exercise of power, particularly with respect to issues such as information operations and population control. Consistent with this theme, in 2004 the US Army War College Center for Strategic Leadership said of 2020 scenario planning, “across all of the worlds, it is clear that instruments of power and sources of threat will come in smaller and smaller packages … Classic tools of state power (e.g., weapons and surveillance systems) will be dramatically miniaturized as a result of both bio- and nanotechnology”.[76]

The observations were made as part of a presentation to ‘The 9th International Command and Control Research and Technology Symposium’, an annual event headed by a former DOD official, which continues today. Interestingly, on the same page of the same Powerpoint presentation, looking towards the year 2020, the War College noted that, “biological viruses are good examples of both instruments of power and source of threat”.[77]

Which was a curious statement for its time. Why was the Army War College Center for Strategic Leadership describing viruses as instruments of power in 2004? The statement was made 16 years before the Army had partnered with the US president under Operation Warp Speed to coercively deploy bio-nano vaccines as intravenous weapons, purportedly against a virus. The statement was also made 16 years before citizens were placed under effective house arrest to flatten an over-hyped viral curve. And 16 years before emergency governance and emergency medicine merged, to create a brave new era of politico-medical rule, empowered to suspend fundamental rights such as freedom of movement and bodily autonomy, all in the name of a virus.

We shall return to these and other issues in Part 4, but meanwhile, besides viruses, what kinds of miniaturized instruments of power might the US Army Center for Strategic Leadership have been referring to?

While there are numerous candidates, “nano-taggants”[78], including smart dust, are openly discussed as tools of power in military-intelligence literatures. Smart dust, which dates to the 1990s, consists of miniature microelectronic particles, as small as 20 microns by 2020, which are fashioned from nano-components, and which can be sprayed, scattered, implanted, or inhaled, forming wireless networks capable of transmitting information, “about anything nearly anywhere” (such as temperature, location, light, movement, sound and so-on), to a cloud or other base for processing.[79, 80]

In a paper from the US Air War College, Center for Strategy and Technology titled, ‘Enabling Battlespace Persistent Surveillance: The Form, Function, and Future of Smart Dust’, the technology’s ability to enable “dispersal of a wireless sensor network on the actual bodies” of adversaries is described, with the capability to provide “vital tactical information, such as location and numbers, to support counterinsurgency operations”. The paper adds that, “Smart Dust offers a low observable ISR [intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance] asset providing detailed information on insurgents and the US populace [italics added]”.[81]

Having shrunk from the size of a grain of sand in the 1990s to microscopic dimensions by 2020, smart dust appears to embody what the US Army War College might have meant when it said that sources of power would be coming in smaller and smaller packages. The inclusion of the US populace as smart dust surveillance targets in US Air Force reports, moreover, is consistent with a recurring theme around counterinsurgency in defense science and technology papers, such as one from the Air War College Center for Strategy and Technology in 2009, titled ‘Disaster-Proofing Senior Leadership’. The paper, again from the US Air Force, warns leaders that the “nano-enabled battlefield” of the future will create adversaries “across the spectrum from state actors to empowered individuals”.[82]

To be ready for the nano-enabled battlefield and the empowered individuals of the future, the 2007 smart dust paper stresses that, “the US military must invest their energy and money today … to develop persistent surveillance applications such as Smart Dust”, making clear that such “persistent surveillance” should be society-wide. It counsels: “the United States needs to mount an effective information operations campaign now and in the future to educate the public on the benefits of Smart Dust to their way of life”.[83]

Should a leader wish to domestically surveil their populations in this way, in 2007, the same year the Smart Dust paper was published, an enabling legislative and practical framework was established under the auspices of 9/11. In August of ‘07, President Bush signed into law an Act titled, ‘Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007’. As part of that Act, a National Biosurveillance Integration Center was established, in order to track any future “biological event of national concern”. Such an event was defined as either an act of bioterrorism or an outbreak of any infectious disease that “may” (or may not) result in an epidemic. Faced with such an infectious disease, the Integration Center, “in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence [and] the Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis” was tasked with aggregating the nation’s surveillance data from government sources, as well from “private sources of surveillance, both foreign and domestic”. In other words, since 2007, US intelligence has had the legal authority to gather surveillance data on its citizens, from public and private sources nationally and internationally, under the auspices of disease control. According to the Act, the Center (essentially a legislatively empowered transnational public-private surveillance partnership) has the responsibility to avail itself of the “best available” information technology, in order to track bio-events “in as close to real-time as is practicable”.[84]

Looking back, we can’t help but wonder whether the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act was triggered in 2020, as the world was swept 9/11-style into emergency mode by a “biological event of [inter]national concern”. Could smart dust, with its ability to be dispersed upon populations in the gust of a breeze – or on the end of a nasal swab — have fit the bill as the “best available” technology?[85, 86, 87, 88]

While Covid ‘vaccines’ have gained the most attention as potential sources of covert nanotechnology deployment, the simple PCR nasal swab has also been examined by microscopists for undeclared inclusions since its mass roll-out in 2020. In 2023 Gatti and colleagues studied nine different PCR swabs for their morphology and chemical composition, using Optical Microscopy and a Field Emission Gun Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope with Energy Dispersive System.[89] The scientists reported a number of substances on the swabs that had not been declared in the manufacturers’ data sheets. Those substances included black fibres that were present “in an almost systematic way”, silver nanoparticles, coatings on the swab fibres involving different combinations of Silicate, Zirconia, Titanium, Aluminium and Sulphur, and “extremely high” levels of what the authors described as “dust”.[90] The dust on the nasal swabs was composed of Silicon, Carbon, Aluminium, Potassium, Oxygen, Magnesium, Titanium, Iron and Sulphur.

Did these elements reflect a “dirty environment”, as the authors proposed, or was it a reflection of other kinds of dust, such as Silicon-based ferromagnetic smart dust[91], or Silica-Alumina neural dust, for creating “a neural dust brain-machine interface (BMI)”?[92] Either way, the authors warned that delivering undeclared nano-components such as these on the ends of nasal swabs “deeply inside nasal cavity” can not only damage the olfactory epithelium, but “finally reach the brain”.[93]

All of which harkens back to NASA-Langley’s 2001 prognostication that a Bio-NANO Era (circa 2020) would see the surreptitious nano-tagging of everything and everyone, with microwave interrogation, for status and identification purposes (as we discussed in Part 1). Followed by Yuval Noah Harari’s insistence in early 2020 that surveillance had gone under the skin with the arrival of The Pandemic™ (and its PCR tests). Was it smart dust they were referring to?

Alongside surveillance applications, in the commercial sphere, smart dust has been described as “the pinnacle of the Internet of Things”,[94] with “the capacity to multiply IoT technologies up to a billion times”.[95] Driven by IoT demand and related medical sensing applications, therefore, a report titled ‘Technology Convergence 2035’, from the US Army War College predicts that smart dust “will achieve mainstream commercial usage by 2028”.[96]

Dual-Use Technologies and Bio-Nano Governance
Importantly, this simultaneous utility of smart dust to military and commercial / medical applications exemplifies the ‘dual use’ nature of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies. Dual use technologies are those with both civilian and military applications, and/or harmful as well as beneficial purposes, where harm can be perpetrated on a mass scale.[97, 98] A common ingredient in cosmetics, for instance, can be used to create mustard gas. Smart dust, similarly, may be used by medical personnel to monitor and treat disease, or, surreptitiously, by those in power to surveil and wirelessly network their citizens, or as a bio-nano weapon to “identify, and/or destroy certain cell types in the body”.[99]

On this theme, in the book ‘Nanoweapons: A Threat to Humanity’, a physicist and former IBM and Honeywell executive, who led advancements in microelectronics and sensors (such as smart dust), warns of existential threats from weaponisable nanotechnologies “previously relegated to fantasy”. The technologies he describes include “self-replicating smart nanorobots”, which “search for and destroy targets without human input, and self-replicate with materi­als found in the environment”.[100] Similarly, in 2001, along with smart dust, NASA Langley described, “Micro Dust Weaponry” or “Micron sized mechanized ‘dust’ which is distributed as an aerosol and inhaled into the lungs. Dust mechanically bores into lung tissue and executes various ‘Pathological Missions.’ A Wholly ‘New’ class of Weaponry which is legal”.[101]

The upshot of the dual uses for many, if not most, bio-nanotechnologies is that their covert deployment as weapons is as simple as calling them by some benign name, for instance a medical intervention. Which brings to mind NASA Langley’s commentary on the “attack capabilities” of “’Trojan Horse’ ‘civilian’ [quotation marks in original] systems”.[102] Combined with the increasing designation of Western domestic populations as adversaries, (cf 2021 reports on domestic “terrorism”, “extremism”, “radicalism” and “conspiracy theorists” by the European Commission[103] and the US Department of Homeland security),[104] citizens would be wise to remain vigilant to the potential dual use and abuse of bio-nano power.

Yet, the question remains: Are there any indications that those in power seek to translate bio-nano/transhumanist policy advice into practice, for instance by pushing ahead with microelectronic (’smart’) dust? Are they even interested in bio-nano power?

If the proof is in the policy pudding, it seems that they are indeed. To name just a few trans-administration examples, the Clinton Administration launched the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) in 2000[105] on the advice of the lead author of the landmark DoD-backed NBIC report[106]. The NNI continues to this day.[107] Shortly thereafter, in December 2003, President George W. Bush signed the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act, or Public Law 108-153,[108] to create a National Nanotechnology Institute [109]. Internationally, similar activity has been taking place around the world, in Europe, China, Iran, India, South Korea and Saudi Arabia, to name just the most active regions.[110, 111] Also spawned by the NBIC initiative was the European Union 2014-2020 ‘Horizon 2020’ research and innovation program[112], which saw the 2018 launch of the “Horizon 2020 Graphene Flagship” project, Europe’s largest ever research initiative,[113] aimed, according to its website, at integrating the expertise of 170 academic and industry partners[114] to “bring graphene innovation out of the lab and into commercial applications”,[115] … “accelerating the timeline for industry acceptance of graphene technologies”.[116]

Building upon this growing international nanotechnology base, in 2013 the Obama Administration launched its Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) initiative, a public-private partnership that runs to 2025, involving DARPA, IARPA, the NIH, the FDA, and the Military Services among other government agencies.[117] Its projects include those in nanoscience, brain-machine interfaces and bioengineering.[118, 119] A few years later, in 2016 under the Trump Administration, Congress established an Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD R&E) as part of the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act. The new Under Secretary “would take risks, press the technology envelope, test and experiment, and have the latitude to fail, as appropriate”.[120] The following year, on December 18, 2017, the Trump Administration released its National Security Strategy, declaring that “the United States will prioritize emerging technologies critical to economic growth and security, such as data science, encryption, autonomous technologies, gene editing, new materials, nanotechnology, advanced computing technologies, and artificial intelligence”.[121]

More recently, in February 2022, during the Biden Administration, the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, created under Trump, announced that her office would “spearhead a National Defense Science and Technology strategy for the Department of Defense (DoD)”[122] which sought “success through policies that encourage innovation and risk taking”.[123] The “Critical Technology Areas” of interest included human machine interfaces, advanced materials, future generation wireless, and AI. Next, in September 2022 Biden’s Whitehouse issued an executive order announcing the funding of a new “bioeconomy”, under which the United States would invest in and “develop engineering technologies and techniques to be able to write circuitry for cells and predictably program biology in the same way we write software and program computers”.[124]

With its problematic casting of biology as technology, to be manipulated like a computer program in the name of the “economy”,[125] Biden’s Executive Order is noteworthy in that, like the Trump Administration’s creation of a risk-happy DoD Science and Technology office, the order was undertaken in lockstep with the US military. Days after the Biden Executive Order was issued, the same DoD Research and Engineering Under Secretary created by Trump, who is also the Pentagon’s Chief Technology officer[126] and oversees the activities of DARPA,[127] said, “This Executive Order will advance and synchronize our efforts — across the DoD and across the Federal Government”.[128] Prior to her political and military appointments,[129] the Under Secretary spent much of her career at Raytheon.[130]

And so it is that while populations have been dazzled, decoyed and distracted by the theatre of electoral politics, governments and the US military have quietly laid the conceptual, structural and technological foundations for transhumanist societies — administration after administration. Behind the spectacle of Clinton’s sexual exploits, Bush’s blunders, Obama’s eloquence, Russiagate, and the January 6th concoction, a military operation in transhumanism has been marching steadily on, largely unreported and unchallenged. No election outcome appears to have ever altered that trajectory. The 2024 election, we wager, will be no exception.

WHO’s Pulling the Strings? Covid Injections and the Internet of Bio-Nano Things, Part 4: Testing New Human Nodes of Connectivity
Johnson, Broudy, and Hughes | PropagandaInFocus.com
May 24, 2024

Abstract
Since human beings generally represent the most unpredictable element of any complex organisation, management techniques must be continually refined in the interest of maintaining the system. As we have discussed in Part 3, the major centres of power and influence in societies deploy every means available to involve as many citizens as possible in the global program of eventual submission to technocratic rule. Among them are secrecy and stealth achieved by rhetorical, technological and political sleights of hand, seemingly largely under the thinly but effectively veiled helmsmanship of the military-intelligence complex. Part 4, thus, introduces a critical discussion of the various post-WWII deceptions and official programs of clandestine experimentation that have commenced across time and across populations. In particular, we examine patterns of deception that illustrate the lengths to which governments continue to go, applying knowledge of lessons learned about medical and psychological testing on human subjects. Within this context of historical breaches of law and international agreements prohibiting such experimentation, we frame our analysis of the intracorporeal networks and bio/nano nodes of communication that now appear to be in development, and possibly under construction in biological lifeforms. We provide evidence that these and other transhumanist plans of the military-intelligence complex are grounded in tangible R&D, which is part of a long-standing public-private, military-corporate arrangement. Under that arrangement, dual use medical and lifestyle electronics pave the way for military-grade technological invasions, under the rubric of convenience and health. We examine the Covid injections against that backdrop, through the prism of microscopists around the world, whose findings we place in the context of vast literatures involving transhumanist technologies. Finally, we close by returning to the WHO, whose Pandemic preparedness treaty and International Health Regulation amendments are pending in May 2024, offering a public-private “health” theatre, with potentially profound implications not only for global power dynamics, but for a Brave New era of bio-nano, state-mandated “medicine”, as foreseen by the military-intelligence complex.

Introduction
Since human beings are first and foremost social creatures, our natural and normal inclinations are to search for, identify, and connect with others of our kind. In the Bio/Nano Age, however, part of the problem of identifying our kind is identifying the various deceptions that work to obscure the many unnatural inclinations of those in power — of those who seek to create a world of social inversions, to establish a world of total abnormality “with entirely new conceptual categories for being and doing into which new and approved social creatures can comfortably fit. What can we do if these social connections are being made for us without our knowledge or consent? How can we discern and understand the new networks being formed inside us and around us which serve not humanity’s needs but, rather, the projects and plans of unelected transnational technocrats?

Legalising Human Experimentation and Medicalising Biowarfare
One way to understand how the ideology of transhumanism has slipped out of its dark “scientific” lab coat and contaminated social and biological forms of life is to trace the history of how policy is used both to reveal and veil intention. The response to “9/11,” for example, seemed largely determined by the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) of which Dwight D. Eisenhower had warned in 1961 — a huge but hidden entity of “unwarranted influence”[1] that maintains the status quo and the agents of state who protect it. What appears most evident in the wake of the Coronavirus event, however, is the emergence of another key interest closely guarded by the Complex — the manufactured concept of public health and “biomedicine” (fast becoming “nano-biomedicine”) as integral to the power and authority of those who maintain the status quo.

If the Cold War enabled the Complex to develop and test in various proxy wars a vast array of conventional armaments, the development of silent and unconventional weapons was hardly on anyone’s radar. To discern how the microscopic blips of clandestine weapons emerged on the R&D radar, we have to look to the 1990s. During this time, while the “peace dividend” promised by the fall of Soviet communism would be spent on dropping bombs in the Balkans throughout part of the 1990s, neoconservatives tended to the manufactured need to expand funding for the Complex. It is noteworthy however that during this time, the Clinton Administration, in its effort to “restore the confidence of the American people … that they could trust the US Government to tell the truth”[2], also came forward to apologise on behalf of previous governments for having conducted thousands of secret nuclear, biological, and chemical experiments over decades on unwitting citizens in the name of medical research and science.

President Clinton announced the results of a study that had examined declassified documents revealing how the

… government actually did carry out on [American] citizens experiments involving radiation, [and] that thousands of government-sponsored experiments did take place at hospitals, universities and military bases around [the] nation … to understand the effects of radiation exposure on the human body.[3]

Does this sort of subterfuge in government programs and policies sound familiar? Apart from the decades-long Tuskegee experiments, conducted by the CDC in the guise of medical research on Americans of African descent, Clinton noted that the radiation experiments carried out by the Department of Energy failed the nation’s test of character and the test of humanity as

… scientists injected plutonium into 18 patients without their knowledge …. [and] exposed indigent cancer patients to excessive doses of radiation, a treatment … carried out on precisely those citizens who count most on the government for its health — the destitute and the gravely ill.[4]

Nor were soldiers, sailors, or Marines, the very citizens government calls upon to defend the nation, spared from joining in secret experiments on themselves, having been denied the right of informed consent in the face of obvious breaches of the Nuremberg Code;[5] the Declaration of Helsinki;[6] the Geneva Conventions;[7] the Universal Declaration of Human Rights;[8] the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights;[9] and the Hippocratic Oath.[10, 11] Do these facts of history recall another more recent experiment into which citizen soldiers were coerced to take part[12] and whose accountability over effects in death and serious adverse events have, so far, remained tightly controlled?[13] The results of the Cold War era nuclear radiation tests on humans were classified and concealed, not for purposes of national security but for fear of embarrassment. Possible exposure to embarrassment (not to toxins, contagions, or poisons), however, appears to be a serious concern for governments keen to flout the ethical responsibilities put upon them by past treaties.

Following WWI, despite international accords (Geneva Protocols, 1925) signed by numerous nations to eradicate such morally appalling research,[14] clandestine development of chemical and biological weapons testing continued unabated. Researchers have hardly been surprised, therefore, by the evidence of plague-infected fleas used during the Korean War to spread deadly bacteria[15]. In the late 1970s, the US Army disclosed in declassified documents that from 1949 to 1969 it had conducted 239 secret open-air germ warfare experiments on population centres serving as “unknowing guinea pigs”.[16] The purported reason why such experiments were deemed justifiable was to “learn how to wage biological warfare and defend against it”.[17] The specious claim, thus, appears to serve as a template today for many forms of highly questionable dual-use R&D.

In claiming to enter, during the Clinton Administration, a new age of government transparency about the pervasiveness of past secret experiments, government elites have, nonetheless, continued exploiting legal loopholes and refining weapons systems for enacting new forms of regime-change warfare against what is evidently perceived to be opposing forces in civil society. In November 1996, the United States Congress achieved a brilliant sleight of hand by repealing the requirement of the DoD to report to the Congress its programs of chemical and biological testing and their effects on unwitting human subjects.[18]

In the following year, according to Katherine Watt, the Congress repealed and replaced a 1977 public law that had — bizarrely — granted DoD permission to experiment on soldiers without their consent with a new law[19] that transferred authority through the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act[20] to the FDA. As Watt observes, while these two legislative manoeuvres were but a public pretense to simulate Congressional interest in protecting “military servicemen and women from forced submission to biological and chemical weapons experiments”, what they really did was to transfer the weapons research and development to the Department of Health and Human Services.[21]

With the sad irony of “service” to “human health” apparently lost on lawmakers, the legal groundwork was cleared in the 1990s for the practice of Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), which exposed all citizens to the government’s social, psychological, biological, and economic programs of coercion. These modifications to domestic US law were not in isolation since they were necessary for compliance with the United Nations’ Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction.[22]

While President Clinton signed into law the National Pharmaceutical Stockpile in 1998 “to remain available until expended for … vaccine stockpiling activities”[23] at the CDC, the dual-use legislation passed by Congress met another crucial goal as Watt points out: it placed the DoD’s illegal supply of biological and chemical weapons into a ‘legal’ category as a stockpile of pharmaceutical products and vaccines. What this means for us today, in Debbie Lerman’s estimation, is that the

“response to the Covid pandemic was led by groups and agencies that are in the business of responding to wars and terrorist threats, not public health crises or disease outbreaks.”[24]

Which is consistent with the US Army War College 2004 prediction that “instruments of power” will “come in smaller and smaller packages — but with no lessening of lethality”[25]. Hence, the weaponisation of labels and pharmaceuticals. This practice of (re)naming and (re)defining in the interest of preserving or expanding power has a rich history.

Underlying R&D
As so it is that last century’s secretive human experimentation, legislative sleights of hand, and 9/11-forged biosurveillance powers paved the way for this century’s mass rollout of experimental BioNano vaccines, and an official focus on gene editing, wired humans, and “program[ming of] biology” like computers[26]. Faced with such a reality, it is tempting to hope that transhumanist futures and policy outcomes are self-aggrandising indulgences rather than viable battle plans. The critical question here is whether the requisite technology exists, and/or could realistically be deployed in the approximate time frames proposed, in order to realise military transhumanist designs on humans and societies. For example, are the dual use bio-nano tools available to create “smart” grids[27] that can turn human bodies and brains into nodes on a network?

In short, it seems that they are. Following Biden’s executive order in 2022, for instance, the Pentagon announced an investment of $1 billion in both public and private partners to fund relevant R&D.[28] Examples of such nano-bio-info-cogno [29] R&D ventures, moreover, abound. In fact, contrary to common misconception that nanotechnology is new, the nanoscience “revolution” dates to the late 1950s. As described in a 2010 Air Force Research Laboratory report on Nanoscience Technologies, in 1959 Richard Feynman, who later received the Nobel Prize in Physics, gave a talk titled, ‘There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom’.[30] The talk introduced the nascent field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, involving atom-by-atom manipulation of matter, which Feynman saw as driving future developments in computing, information technology, biology, and mechanical systems. The 2010 Air Force report notes that, at the time, fifty years after Feynman’s talk, nanotechnology underpinned many products and capabilities in the fields envisioned by Feynman and more, such as the healthcare, communications, electronics, and recreation industries.

Like nanotechnology, synthetic human systems are also not new. In 1996 the DoD wrote in an annual Defense Science and Technology report, “a few S&T results have catapulted directly to operational use, like … sterile all-type artificial blood substitute”.[31] (Which, as of 2021, had not yet made its way openly into the civilian sphere, according to the Stanford University Blood Center website.)[32] Similarly, by 2023, DARPA was only just publicly declaring that it would “begin work” on the issue.[33]

For a brief glimpse of the real and vast body of unclassified military-intelligence-backed R&D pertinent to transhumanism (setting aside the classified or ‘dark’ R&D, needless to say), we list here a small selection of titles.

- Bio-Inspired Nanoscale Hybrid Systems (2003): Final Technical Report sponsored by the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research, co-authored with Pfizer. The report describes the technical output of over 100 research projects at universities and research institutes around the world, on “the combination of natural nano-systems (biomolecules) and artificial nano sized species such as metal or semiconductor nanoparticles”.[34] Two examples of the 100+ technologies described include the use of metal nanocrystals as antennas for controlling the activity of DNA, under the influence of external magnetic fields; and the integration of functionalized nanoparticles and nanotubes with biomaterials, including DNA, for bioelectronic applications.
- Direct Nanoscale Conversion of Bio-Molecular Signals into Electronic Information (2008): Final Report of research and development under a five-year grant sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, from 2003-2008. The project’s aim was to create “bio-digital conversion interfaces” allowing “direct electronic access to biomolecular reactions… including real-time in vivo detection of human responses”.[35] It generated 122 journal publications, 93 conference papers, 151 invited talks, 13 patents, and 25 significant awards.
- Self-Assembly of Large Scale Shape Controlled DNA Nano-Structures (2014): Final Report of research and development under a grant sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, running from 2011-2014. The project focussed on creating various self assembled structures from synthetic DNA, including metallized DNA. It generated 14 refereed journal articles, 48 conference presentations, including on synthetic biology and biomanufacturing, and attracted 8 awards, including a Synthetic Biology Young Scientist Award, and a World Economic Forum Young Scientist Award.[36]
- CyborgCell: Intracellular Delivery of Molecular and Supramolecular Ionic Circuits for Cyborg Tissue (2018): Final Performance Report of a three year grant sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, from 2015-2018, focussed on “programming cells and systems”. The project generated 9 publications, including on bioelectronics, synthetic tissue and “electrically driven microengineered bio-inspired soft robots”.[37]
- Cyborgcell: Molecular-Nanoscale Circuits for Active Control of Cells (2018): Final Performance Report of a three year grant sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, from 2015-2018. The aim of the project was to “develop molecular-nanoscale circuits that control cells via external radiation”.[38]

A comprehensive list of related research projects would be virtually endless. The important implication is that the military-intelligence community is not merely engaging in empty futuristic speculation when it publishes its ‘futures’ documents, nor when it issues recommendations to governments and other decision-makers. Military-intelligence bodies have been busy for decades investing in and developing the requisite technologies. Given the publicly available material, if Harvard historian Peter Galison is right that classified, or ‘dark’, scientific research outnumbers the open literatures 5:1 – 10:1[39], and if NASA Langley’s Dennis Bushnell is right that much military-funded science and technology R&D remains in inventory for over 40 years[40], the vast body of unclassified military-intelligence transhumanist technology R&D can be expected to represent the tip of an immense and unknowable iceberg.

The Civilian Mask of Transhumanist Military Technologies
To realise its Science and Technology aims, the military intelligence community not only funds its own research projects but relies upon and collaborates with the civilian sector. For instance, under the heading ‘Dual Use’, in 1996 the DoD wrote of technologies such as biomimetics (the mimicking of biology) and microelectrical-mechanical systems (or MEMS, which are used in smart dust and other bio-nano technologies):

If DoD is to develop, field and sustain superior materiel, we must rely increasingly on the same industrial base that builds commercial products … The S&T program will contribute to building a common industrial base by utilizing commercial practices, processes, and products, and by developing, where possible, technology that can be the base for both military and commercial products and applications.[41]

Where merging bodies with technology and wireless networks is concerned, the medical/pharmaceutical establishment is a key military partner, as is the electrical engineering/Internet of Things(IoT)/Internet of Bodies (IoB) industry. The US Army’s Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), a science and technology network focussed on soldier enhancements, wrote in 2019, “The pace of development in cyborg technologies is expected to accelerate over the next 10–15 years, driven by commercial medical applications [emphasis added]”.[42]

Similarly, in 2021 NATO said that “an anthropotechnical approach to develop a hybridized human-system” will occur “mostly through pairing information technology and health nanotechnologies [emphasis added] … which will enable humans to be “injected with amplifying substances or nanotechnologies”.[43]

Broadly, in terms of turning strategic visions into reality, the medical literatures test the requisite technologies in biological systems, both in vivo (inside living bodies) and in vitro (in the laboratory), while the electrical engineering literatures design architectures enabling many of the medical (and simultaneously military) devices to turn Humanity 1.0 into nodes on networks, referred to in electrical engineering literatures as ‘intra-corporeal networks’, ‘body-centric wireless networks’, ‘off body networks’, ‘body area networks’, and so-on.

Given the inherent risk-reward trade-off, cancer is a key medical research area in which dual use bio-nano devices are tried and tested. Similarly, for brain-based nanotechnologies, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases are key R&D domains. Consider, for instance, the paper ‘In Vivo Wireless Brain Stimulation via Non-invasive and Targeted Delivery of Magnetoelectric Nanoparticles’, published in the journal ‘Neurotherapeutics’. The paper describes intravenous injection of magneto-electric nanoparticles which cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) and are magnetically guided to target brain regions for stimulation, with applications in Epilepsy, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. The paper notes that the technology, “could potentially open a door to a more robust and precise brain control that currently is not possible”.[44] Such technology could also simultaneously be of use in the enhanced virtual reality and/or bidirectional brain-machine interfaces or neurologically “wired humans” of the national security realm.

Or the paper ‘Medical Micro/Nanorobots in Precision Medicine’, which reviews a wide range of micro- and nanoscale robots and their uses in medical sensing, imaging, drug and DNA delivery, and surgical operations throughout the body’s tissues and inside cells.[45] Indeed, searching the term nanorobot on Google Scholar yields some 19,000 results. Once again, these technologies, some of which, dubbed microdrillers, can perform actions including travelling at high speeds inside the body and penetrating tissue or deforming cells[46], have dual military potential as weapons, surveillance tools, genetic engineering devices, components of cyborg systems, and/or wireless human networks.

As an example of overlaps between medical and military technologies, the following illustration reinterprets the cover image on the November 2020 issue of the journal Advanced Science, titled Medical Robotics: Medical Micro/Nanorobots in Precision Medicine. The cover offers an artist’s concept of a biohybrid / cyborg micro-organism receiving input from a tower to capture a coronavirus in the bloodstream. In keeping with Harari’s earlier “prophecy” that surveillance would go “under the skin” with Covid-19, did the public get its first look at how surveillance might be operationalised one month after the journal’s issue with the release of the injectable gene therapy in early December of 2020?

Artist’s interpretation of cover art for Advanced Science journal.

With respect to the commercial IoB / IoBNT sector, Kyrie and Broudy (2022) review in Cyborgs R Us: The Bionano Panopticon of Injected Bodies the mainstream electrical engineering literatures laying out architectures to create the ‘wired humans’ described in military-intelligence documents, for ostensibly ‘medical’ and ‘lifestyle’ purposes.[47] The IoB / IoBNT architectures use both micro- and nano-technology to create body-centric wireless networks, such as in the paper, ‘Enabling Deep-Tissue Networking for Miniature Medical Devices’[48]. The paper describes the in vivo testing of a networking system in which injected sensors with antennae transmit wirelessly from deep tissue locations up to 38 metres outside the body, or far enough to reach most people’s cell phones most of the time, which act as ‘gateways’ connecting intrabody networks to the internet in IoB schemes.[49]

In short, the same bio-nano technologies that underpin military-grade transhumanism are utilised in medical and electrical engineering, or ‘smart’ electronics, spheres. The DoD, moreover, makes no bones about leveraging such civilian R&D for its own ends.[50, 51] The implication is that an innocuous or even therapeutic device introduced into the human body in one context can double as military hardware in another.

Unfortunately for ordinary people, prominent approaches to regulating dual use technologies such as these rest on a flawed and problematic premise. That premise is that only citizens pose a dual use threat, while officialdom can be relied upon to rule with a benevolent hand. In his book Dual Use Science and Technology, Ethics and Weapons of Mass Destruction, Seumas Miller, a Professor of Philosophy and security services expert, writes that in order to mitigate dual use risks, “contrary to popular opinion, there ought to be a degree of collective scientific ignorance [italics original], at least among members of the general population.”[52] Could this be why 80-90 percent of science and technology research remains classified according to Peter Galison?[53] However, such a regulatory strategy introduces a dual use problem all its own: it frees those in power to amass an arsenal of weaponisable knowledge and technology outside the checks and balances of public scrutiny and oversight.

Meanwhile in the realm of publicly available S&T, two years into a global injection campaign based on dual use bio-nano technologies (nanoparticles and gene-based platforms), Ian Akyildiz, pioneer of both the Internet of NanoThings (IoNT) and the Internet of BioNano Things (IoBNT), which form the basis for the Internet of Bodies (IoB), provided an Advanced Technology Symposium with a key update on the progress of the IoBNT. He explained that:

The Bio-nanoscale machines [behind the IoBNT] are for injecting into the body … And that is going really well with these Covid vaccines. It’s going that direction. These mRNAs are nothing [other] than small scale, nano-scale machines. They are programmed and they are injected.[58]

It was quite a remarkable statement coming from someone of Akyildiz’ standing. Alkiyidiz is a professor at four universities, an advisory board member at a fifth, with past professorships at several more. He has been the Editor-in-Chief Emeritus of Computer Networks Journal (Elsevier) (1999-2019), the founding Editor-in-Chief Emeritus of the Ad Hoc Networks Journal (Elsevier) (2003-2019), Physical Communication (PHYCOM) Journal (Elsevier) (2008-2017), and Nano Communication Networks (NANOCOMNET) Journal (Elsevier) (2010-2017), among numerous other credentials.

While Alkiyidis’ pronouncement that Covid ‘vaccines’ are IoBNT nano-machines might sound outlandish to those who believed they had been injected on purely immunological grounds, it is entirely consistent with the military-intelligence literatures described in Parts 1-3 on technologically interfaced humans and a BioNano, technocratic fork in the road by 2020. It is also consistent with the findings of undisclosed and unidentified structures and materials in Covid ‘vaccines’, swabs, and recipients’ blood, from independent investigators around the world. Those investigations have involved Optical Microscopy[59, 60]; Darkfield Microscopy; Brightfield Microscopy[74, 75, 76, 77, 78]; Compound Optical Microscopy with a combination of Brightfield, Darkfield and Phase Contrast [79]; Stereomicroscopy[80]; Scanning Electron Microscopy with X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopy[81, 82]; Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy[83, 84]; Micro-Raman Spectroscopy[85]; Raman Spectroscopy[86]; a combination of Optical Microscopy, Darkfield Microscopy, UV Absorbance and Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy [87]; and, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, Mass Spectroscopy, Inductively Coupled Plasma Analysis, Bright Field Microscopy and Dark Field Microscopy,[88] all yielding compatible findings.

Not only have many of these investigators reported undeclared and often apparently bizarrely (bio)mechanical, self-assembling nano- and micro-contents in Covid-19 injections,[89-108] those using electron microscopes and spectroscopy have found carbon-based structures consistent with graphene and/or other carbonaceous micro- and nano-materials [109-116], including growing, non-biological structures,[117, 118] and silicon and metals,[119-125] many of which have been embedded in the carbon-based assemblies.[126-132] Those metals and other elements have included aggregates of iron-chromium-nickel nanoparticles (ie stainless steel), bismuth-titanium-vanadium-iron-copper silicon-aluminium[133], aluminium and thalium[134, 135], iron oxide[136], caesium, barium, iron, chromium, titanium, cerium, gadolinium, aluminium,[137] tin, magnesium, aluminium[138, 139] and more. PCR swabs from a range of manufacturers, moreover, have been found, using a Field Emission Gun Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope with Energy Dispersive System, to host several unidentified structures, along with dust (whether common dust or smart dust), containing silicon, carbon, aluminium, potassium, oxygen, magnesium, titanium, iron and sulphur.[140]

Regarding the reception of such findings, as one of us writes in the book, “Covid-19” Psychological Operations and the War for Technocracy:

Especially in the context of the IT/Bio/Nano era (see Chap. 8), this is a lot of empirical evidence to write off, yet commentators hesitate to entertain the possibility of undisclosed technologies in the “Covid-19 vaccines” for several reasons. For starters, it sounds preposterous — the stuff of sci-fi — and falls too far outside the spectrum of socially acceptable opinion. This, however, merely reflects the limitations of human psychology and groupthink; it is not evidence-based science. Military-grade propaganda means that the public’s perceptual parameters remain limited to the virus, the spike protein, mRNA/DNA, and dangers deriving from the disclosed “vaccine” ingredients. Most doctors, virologists, microbiologists, etc., know very little about bio-nanotechnology, so are unqualified to comment and understandably prefer to stick to their fields of expertise. Fear of reprisal (e.g. hit pieces by the media, attacks by colleagues, withdrawal of medical licenses, harassment, and threats to (life) disincentivise scientists/doctors from publicly challenging orthodoxy.[141]

Nevertheless, contrary to cursory dismissals that the unidentified structures and undeclared materials found around the world in Covid ‘vaccines’ and recipients’ blood could only reflect salt and cholesterol, a vast array of candidate bio-nano technologies and materials exist in the open literatures. Moreover, aside from compositional and morphological differences, investigators report that the structures observed in Covid ‘vaccines’ behave differently from simple salt or cholesterol crystals, for instance by forming a perimeter before filling in internal details[153], and in the complexity of those details.[154] Similarly, the structures have demonstrated responsiveness to electromagnetic frequencies, such as by assembling when a nearby router is turned on and disassembling when the router is turned off, or failing to assemble inside a faraday bag.[155, 156]

Consider, for instance, images and videos of structures found in the Pfizer-BioNTech product below. With only traditional microbiological knowledge as a reference point, and little or no awareness of the documents and literatures covered in this series of articles, hasty explanations[157] offered by commentators immersed in the status quo invariably point to familiar and innocuous constructs. However, with knowledge of the decades of transhumanist planning and R&D, alongside associated government policies, including the important role of injections for ‘upgrading’ human beings (see Parts 2 and 3), we suggest that injectable technologies such as self-assembling DNA electronics make just as much, if not more, sense.

Could the microscopic structures observed forming in Covid ‘vaccines’ above reflect technologies such as micron-scale macrostructures that self-assemble from DNA nanostructures?[158] Which are capable of fashioning DNA nanomachinery[159], potentially with “DNA self-assembled robotic arms” among other complexities,[160] and/or creating micro-electronics and/or self-assembling DNA nanowires?[161] All of which can be “readily modified and functionalized with a variety of nanoscale entities that possess interesting biological, chemical, magnetic, electrical, or optical properties”,[162] including through “metallization” of the DNA?[163] Which, in turn, causes the DNA nano- and micro-technologies to “exhibit excellent spatiotemporal responses to a multitude of external stimuli,” such as electrical, magnetic or optical frequencies.[164]

For a 75-page 2023 review summarising such technologies, see the paper ‘Recent Advances in DNA Origami-Engineered Nanomaterials and Applications’, published in the journal Chemical Reviews, referenced here at footnote “[159]”. Or for a video illustrating DNA nanotechnologies self-assembling into pre-programmed, functionalised macro-structures, including smiley-faces, watch this video from Harvard University’s Wyss Institute.

Could the potential optical, electrical and magnetic peculiarities of ‘functionalised’ nano-scaled technologies such as these be why some structures in the Covid ‘vaccines’ have been found to respond to electromagnetic signals?[165, 166] Or why videos of magnets and metallic objects adhering to the injection site abounded following the Covid ‘vaccine’ rollout?[167] Could it explain why a wire-like structure in a Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine sample, which was initially assumed to be environmental debris, was observed to move over a period of two days, after which it appeared to attach itself to a rectangular chip-like structure?[168, 169] Resulting in shapes and configurations that were similar to those observed in Pfizer/BioNTech on the other side of the world.[170]

Could these images represent micron-scale macrostructures that self-assemble from DNA-based or other nanostructures?[171] Could the fibres represent self-assembling nanowires?[172] Or are they something else entirely?

Unfortunately for the enquiring mind, comprehensively investigating questions such as these requires access to prohibitively expensive equipment such as precision Atomic Force Microscopes and Scanning Tunnelling Microscopes, which, used in conjunction with Electron Microscopes, are capable of precisely characterising nanoparticles and nanomaterials, including those involving DNA. However, the cost of such investigations ensures that they are monopolised by institutions that have been comprehensively cleansed of independent and critical activities[173], particularly since the ‘mis’, ‘dis’ and ‘mal’ information purges of the Covid era. Accordingly, placing the onus on citizen investigators to resolve the reasonable questions raised by their findings ensures that unambiguous answers will never be found. While fingers have been pointed in knee-jerk fashion at the independent researchers who are asking questions and raising concerns, in reality the obvious onus lies with the institutions and authorities that are turning a blind eye to both the deaths and injuries from the new bio-nano “vaccines”, and the numerous published reports of their undeclared contents.

Human IoBNT Connectivity?
Since the early 1990s, the “Internet” has become elemental to the common currency. No one goes to Starbucks and wonders if the coffee will be sufficiently hot or the Wi-Fi sufficiently fast. Despite these now common tacit mental associations, few speakers, however, use terms such as the “Internet of Things (IoT)” and fewer still, “The Internet of NanoThings (IoNT)” or the “Internet of BioNanoThings (IoBNT)”[174, 175, 176]. Regarding these latter iterations of the Internet, now quietly emerging in society, will these, too, become as common as casual talk of Starbucks’ overpriced cheesecake? While the promise of the Internet had long contained the seeds of potential emancipation from the owners of the means of production, it has also, in some ways, served as a promise for the total transformation of humanity. In fact, the term itself — Internet — triggers mental images of vastly improved cultural and linguistic interconnectivity. Caught in a web of connections, we can’t help but communicate and receive signals of our presence, intention, and action. Thus, it is claimed that Humans 2.0 will be sufficiently upgraded in ways that integrate them into a seamless network of global communications connectivity.

The conceptual connection between the body as a self-justified site of invasion and state surveillance and its real-time 24/7 Internet connectivity, as we noted earlier, began appearing in public just two weeks after the story of a deadly viral pathogen emerged from Wuhan, China — the absurdities seeded in the public discourse by leading evangelists of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. While Yuval Noah Harari prepared the fertile minds of the masses to contemplate the absurd false claim that people were now accepting the concocted foregone conclusion that surveillance was going “under the skin”, anecdotal observations of bizarre reactions to the mRNA injections started circulating soon after the campaign of mass vaccination was launched. Video reports of recipients with magnetised surface skin area near sites of injection were shared around the world, and soon thereafter videos of human beings registering as electronic devices on Bluetooth networks emerged. Following these reports of anecdotal observations were small preliminary studies conducted by Sarlangue et al. who published in November 2021 their results that attempted to investigate any existing cause-and-effect relationships between the injectable gene therapies and signs of Bluetooth connectivity.[177]

To examine the issue, Sarlangue et al. employed a between-subjects design which returned the rather astonishing finding that 40% of “vaccinated” individuals and 50% of those who had received PCR swab tests (out of 17 vaccinated or swabbed subjects in all) appeared to emit alphanumeric signals in the frequency range corresponding to Bluetooth signals, compared to none in the unvaccinated, unswabbed group (consisting of 20 subjects). The alphanumeric signals did not accord with those of known manufacturers; they were “not constant in time and their appearance [was] brief”.[178]

After observing such differences between groups, the investigators examined the phenomenon across different electromagnetic conditions, by measuring signals from vaccinated and/or swabbed individuals inside a cave, which they treated as a faraday cage. The researchers found that when inside the cave only 2 of 14 vaccinated and/or swabbed subjects (14%) were associated with alphanumeric signals. Sarlangue et al. concluded that across both studies they had observed “a very clear prominence of signals emitted in an ambient [electromagnetically exposed] environment compared to signals emitted in an environment without electromagnetic activity”.[179] In other words, a proportion of Covid “vaccine” and PCR swab recipients appeared to show signs of Bluetooth technology inside their bodies, which interacted with electromagnetic radiation.

In one of the surprisingly few responses to the Sarlangue et. al studies, counter-evidence is adduced by software engineer David Fergusson (via private correspondence, discussed here with his permission). Digging into the raw data in the two capture files provided by Sarlangue et al., Fergusson finds that:

Some of the Bluetooth LE advertising addresses referred to in the results/write-up are not present in the capture;
The timestamps of the Bluetooth LE advertising addresses appearing in the study do not correspond with the time stamps of their appearance in the capture file;
The same Bluetooth LE advertising address associated with an individual keeps appearing in the capture file long after the subject should have disappeared out of range; and
The same Bluetooth LE advertising address in the study is associated with two different individuals.

Given that Bluetooth LE has a range of up to 200m (much further than the original Bluetooth classic protocol), Fergusson concludes, it is hard to find a clean environment where other transmissions are not present, and thus likely that Sarlangue et al. were detecting background signals in the environment.

However, the between-subjects design employed by Sarlangue et al. found that alphanumeric signals were not randomly distributed across groups, as would be expected had they reflected background noise. Rather, the signals differed according to vaccine/swab status, indicating an effect over and above that of the surrounding environment. Moreover, the location of the experiment appears to be uninhabited for a 200m radius.[180] The investigators also reported that the alphanumeric signals they recorded (whose Organisationally Unique Identifiers or OUI can be searched in public databases) did not correspond to those of any known manufacturers, running counter to the notion that the signals emanated from commercially available devices. Alternatively, Fergusson suggests that the signals could have reflected Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertising packets customised to omit manufacturer-specific information.

To examine further, Fergusson himself scanned two “vaccinated” individuals at a remote location in the Yorkshire dales using a Samsung tablet and a 2.45 GHz spectrum analyser and detected no signal or transmission. While this finding is consistent with his own interpretation, it also accords with the results of Sarlangue et al.’s second study, and the possibility that any intrabody technology may interact with external electomagnetic radiation.

To tease such interpretations apart and address their shortcomings, the initial findings by Sarlangue et al. (a single, small independent research team) and those of Fergusson (a sample size of two with no comparison group) require confirmation by larger, more technologically sophisticated (i.e. well-funded) studies. Such studies could more systematically and precisely measure, disentangle, and examine the specific types of signals being recorded, as well as any interactions between signals emitted by study subjects and those of electromagnetic activity in the surrounding environment. Confirming the validity of such conclusions would also require analyses of statistical significance — a concern, it should be noted, that pharmaceutical companies, governments, and health authorities dispensed with entirely when claiming 95% efficacy for the Covid-19 ‘vaccines’.[181]

Meanwhile we remain largely in a state of uncertainty regarding the reality of human Bluetooth emissions. Nevertheless, given prima facie evidence of the phenomenon in the context of an emergent IT/Bio/Nano era, there is every reason, scientifically and politically, to continue investigations.[182] Should the Sarlangue et al. findings ultimately be corroborated, then the implications would prove profound. Those who thought they were getting “vaccinated” would, in fact, have rolled up their sleeves to receive injectable firmware for networked communications within the Internet of Bodies.

Against the backdrop of historical pharmaceutical industry fraud;[183] the testimony of Covid “vaccine” manufacturing whistleblowers;[184] the existence of vaccine industry immunity from liability for harm;[185] dedicated global Vaccine™ brand management operations;[186, 187, 188] conflicts of interest throughout COVID policy;[189, 190, 191] the capture of media and regulatory bodies[192] and the unequivocal Fourth Industrial / transhumanist agendas of the world’s most powerful military-industrial, political and financial actors[193] (See also Parts 1-3), it appears increasingly likely that the injections deployed since 2020 were dual use technologies heavily pushed upon populations as ‘vaccines’.

Meanwhile, the underlying gaps in knowledge papered over by the scientific establishment in defense of the transnational Giants have included: What has gone “under the skin” (Harari) in the name of Covid-19? What was — and is — in the Covid-19 ‘vaccines’, and how does that differ by batch or manufacturer?[194, 195] And what are the implications for human health, human societies, and humanity itself?

Outside that Giant-aligned establishment, the findings of unidentified structures appearing in the blood of Covid injected individuals [196-205], and preliminary evidence of Bluetooth connectivity in the vaccinated and the PCR-swabbed,[206] has led to a proposed set of possibilities anchored in relevant scientific and electrical engineering literatures. In a comprehensively referenced video presentation titled “The MAC Phenomenon,” investigator Mik Anderson proposes that the alphanumeric sequences reported to emanate from vaccine and swab recipients signify what are known as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Media Access Control — or MAC — addresses.[207]

A MAC address is a string of characters that identifies devices on networks, and can be detected, among other methods, via Bluetooth on a mobile phone. Mobile phones, in turn, serve as “gateways” in IoBNT / IoB schemes, to connect on-body (‘intra-body’ or ‘in-vivo’) networks with off-body and inter-body networks, which together form the internet of bodies in electrical engineering literatures, or the wired humans of the military-intelligence domain[208].

But do injectable nanotechnologies capable of emitting signals, whether MAC addresses or BLE advertising packets, actually exist? In the electrical engineering IoBNT / IoBNT literatures, nano-routers are a leading exemplar. Nanorouters aggregate information from intra-body nano-nodes (e.g. sensors) throughout the body, sending that information to “gateways” outside the body, such as mobile phones[209]. In terms of relevant R&D, a pioneer of medical nanorobots with expertise in synthetic biology and human-machine interfaces, Professor Ido Bachelet, received a 2013-2017 European Commission grant through his company Augmanity Nano to work on “DNA nano-routers”.[210] In general terms, routers connect networks (for instance on-body and off-body networks) to one another, and possess their own unique MAC addresses. During the DNA nano-router grant period, Bachelet collaborated with Pfizer[211] on a project involving DNA robots capable of harbouring miniature antennae, sending information to other DNA robots, and responding to external signals.

In 2013, Bachelet gave a talk to TedMed Israel explaining that a single hypodermic syringe contains a thousand billion such robots, which his team had equipped with antennae made from metal nanoparticles. He told the audience that the antennae enabled the nanobots to carry their own IP address, and to respond to external electromagnetic fields, facilitating access and control by the likes of an X-box joystick, or a smartphone. The talk included a microscopic image of the nanobots, which Bachelet described as computers the size of molecules, and which, like many images of structures in Covid vaccines, appeared as rectangles.

https://propagandainfocus.com/wp-content...24x533.png

Artist’s impression of a microscopic image of injectable nanobots with antennae, which respond to joysticks or smartphones.

Bachelet closed by sharing his hopes that, “anywhere between a year and five years from now [2013] we’ll be able to use this in humans and finally witness the emergence of a nanobot society”.[212] Then in 2021 another of Bachelet’s companies received an “extremely rare” amount of seed funding for a mystery project involving RNA.[213]

Could such DNA nano-routers, or wirelessly controlled nanobots, be the kind of programmable, injectable bio-nanotechnology that was “going really well with these Covid vaccines” according to IoBNT pioneer Ian Akyildiz?[214] Could that, or other gene-based nanotechnologies, such as DNA electronics, plasmid DNA computing, DNA-based substrates for the IoBNT, or DNA lipid nanotablets be why (in addition to genetic modification)[215] undeclared, likely synthetic[216], genetic products[217] and DNA[218-229] have been found in the Covid-19 injectable technologies (aka vaccines)?

While most coverage of findings regarding undeclared DNA in the Covid injections has revolved around traditional biological explanations and harms (cancer and genetic modification), an awareness of DNA’s centrality to Bio-Nano and bio-electronic technologies, including those involved in IoB and IoBNT schemes, opens the DNA findings up beyond transgenesis to a wider arena of transhumanist technology and understanding.

Or could the alphanumeric signals reported by Sarlangue et al. simply reflect Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacon output? Ie ‘smart’ tracking devices? BLE is the bluetooth of choice for the construction of the global IoT[230] as it is energy efficient, saving power by remaining asleep when not connected, and communicating for only seconds at a time when active.[231] Which would be consistent with reports by Sarlangue et al. that the signals they observed were not constant in time and their appearance was brief.[232] BLE Beacons, said to be “arguably the most important application of the [BLE] technology” send out an ID number at set intervals, usually seconds apart, allowing devices that recognise the device to connect.[233, 234] Like DNA nano-routers, BLE beacons possess MAC addresses.[235] (Interestingly, BLE devices are organised into what is termed a “master-slave” relationship, whereby master devices control connectivity while slave devices passively transmit their ID until required by the master.)[236] Of relevance to transhumanism, both BLE technology and beacons form part of IoB / IoBNT / Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) routing protocols.[237, 238]

Should such propositions seem preposterous, it is worth noting that the seminal 2015 paper introducing the IoBNT, whose aim is “networking within the biochemical domain, while enabling an interface to the electrical domain of the Internet”, proposes deploying synthetic cells inside the human body, including those with an electromagnetic nano-transmitter where the nucleus, and DNA, should be.[239] The lead author was the same Professor Akyildiz who said that the progress of the nanomachines behind the IoBNT was “going really well with these Covid vaccines”.

https://propagandainfocus.com/wp-content...24x737.png

The Internet of Bio-Nano Things.

The 2015 paper introduces for the first time the IoBNT, explaining that its aim is to integrate living things, or “biological environments” with the electrical domain of the IoT and IoNT. This integration is to be achieved using synthetic biology as the “substrate” inside living things, including not only artificial cells but engineered DNA, DNA plasmids, and proteins, recasting cells as “biological embedded computing devices”. Through the re-engineering of biological cells and sub-cellular components, the IoBNT seeks to create “bio-cyber interfaces” which “translate information from the biochemical domain of Bio-Nano Thing networks inside the body to the Internet cyber-domain” and vice versa. One tool for achieving this is the electromagnetic nano-transmitter depicted in Figure 5b, which, encapsulated within an artificial cell, “would wirelessly communicate with electrical devices outside the biological environment”.[240]

Nine years later, in April of 2024, citizen microscopists using a high resolution optical microscope observed what they describe as a catastrophic alteration in red blood cells, which they had first detected several months prior, and had observed increasing in prevalence since.[241, 242, 243]. Consistent with the 2015 IoBNT paper, the microscopists interpret their findings as reflecting, “alteration of human biology, [including] use or production of Electro-chemical structures such as Proteinosomes (Electro-chemical logic gates/circuitry), and much more.”[244]

The investigators cite examples of papers drawn from a large body of literature, which detail not only artificial and biohybrid blood systems, but candidate technologies consistent with the nano-architectures[245], and synthetic biology of the IoBNT[246]. These include artificial organelles enabling chemical computation,[247] and protocells,[248] which, with the “integration of DNA nanotechnology … might facilitate the development of lifelike objects with simple forms of embodied chemical computation.”[249] In other work published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,[250] CRISPR Cas9 is used to create dual-core computers inside human cells.[251] On the apparent wholesale re-engineering of red blood cells suggested by the microscopists’ imagery, Akyildiz et al. wrote in 2015 that artificial cells can, “contain genetic information [and] the related molecular machineries for their transcription, translation, and replication.”[252]

The microscopists observed the altered blood cells in covid “vaccinated” and un”vaccinated” alike, surmising their emergence to arise from environmental adulterations, for instance to water, air, and food. Once again, the 2015 IoBNT paper announced that the related IoNT formed “the basis of numerous future applications, such as in the military, healthcare, and security fields, where the nanothings, thanks to their limited size, can be easily concealed, implanted, and scattered in the environment, where they can cooperatively perform sensing, actuation, processing, and networking.”[253]

With this context in mind, could the images appearing under investigators’ microscopes reflect some version of the artificial cells that form the IoBNT network architecture, as depicted in Slide 33 of a 2017 Akyildiz presentation?

https://propagandainfocus.com/wp-content...24x783.png

Artist’s impression of slide 33 from a presentation to the Visions for Future Communications Summit, October 23 2017, University Institute of Lisbon, Portugal.

Or might they reflect the intracellular antennae developed by MIT, which respond to alternating magnetic fields and can “operate wirelessly inside living cells”?[254] The technology, dubbed “Cell Rover”, is a product of MIT’s Nano Cybernetic Biotrek lab, whose aim is to invent “disruptive technologies for nanoelectric devices and creat[e] new paradigms for life machine symbiosis”. Or could they represent intracellular chip technology, such as semiconductor biointerfaces or magnetically responsive bar codes that can “tag and manipulate living cells”?[255]

Whatever the case may be, while one study of Bluetooth connectivity alone does not constitute a body of evidence (pun not intended), and requires clarification and confirmation, it represents preliminary data that are certainly worthy of further investigation, with the aim of exploring the validity of the findings. In the context of the literatures we have reviewed throughout this series of articles, building such a program of research, which examines the possibility of IoBNT connectivity in human beings, seems prudent if not essential.

Conclusion

In literature, communication, international relations, and other related disciplines across the humanities and social sciences, serious studies — uncorrupted by the influence of state ideology — have seen precipitous declines over the past couple of decades, especially in the wake of 9/11. As states fund opportunities for promising young scholars to acquire knowledge and skills in protecting the socioeconomic order and the mythologies required for its uninterrupted operation, it is reasonable that the intellectual schools that might examine the ethical implications of the transhumanist project would be relegated to the periphery. After all, if we are, according to the transhumanist ethos, little more than members of a vast and well-dispersed herd, why should the critical examination of literature — a high human art — be an object of serious study?

Is it because we have all been schooled since the outbreak of the viral narrative of a genocidal virus that we are no more than potential vectors of disease transfer? The least common denominator of our existence and purpose as human beings boiled down to the level of the microbe whose true intentions are discernable only under the microscope. There is no need, therefore, as suggested by the dominant storytellers, to dwell upon the key texts of our own humanity, especially those outlining the story of our own coming captivity — corralled, captured, nano-tagged, and registered in some technocratic database for inventory, retrieval, sale, and/or (ab)use.

Besides recasting humans as dangerous and expendable vectors of disease, perhaps the most stunning achievement of military transhumanism is its ability to hide in plain sight. Decades of declassified material, publicly available and marked for ‘unlimited distribution’, a small sample of which we have reviewed here, has scarcely entered the periphery of public perception. As we already outlined in our article ‘Hiding in Plain Sight: Technocratic Tyranny Behind a Medical Mask’,[256] opinion-shapers, as skilled magicians, have succeeded in tightly controlling attention, perpetually decoying and dazzling such that decades of transhumanist interventions have remained largely unnoticeable and, thus, invisible to the wider public. Consider, for instance, a slide from GCHQ’s Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) training materials titled ‘The Art of Deception’, presented at US National Security Agency (NSA) conferences, which illustrates that deceiving the world begins with capturing its attention.

https://propagandainfocus.com/wp-content...24x584.png

Artist’s impression and Fair Use of SECRET//SI//REL TO USA FVEY image from JTRIG training materials on ‘The Art of Deception’, presented at US National Security Agency (NSA) conferences in 2010 and 2012 republished by The Intercept.

Since 2020, between bats and pangolins and Wuhan and gain of function and the FDA and CDC and mRNA and electoral theatre, the perpetual ”decoying” and “dazzling”, as advised in The Art of Deception, has ensured that even dissident attention is successfully diverted from the decades of military-intelligence transhumanism surrounding the Covid Bio-Nano “vaccines.”

And, as JTRIG’s ‘cyber magicians’ know, that which escapes attention does not exist, perceptually speaking. Accordingly, like magicians, propagandists can make phenomena appear and disappear at will. With a relentless fixation on the declared components of mRNA ‘vaccines’ and legacy biosciences, for instance, military-grade transhumanism and its technologies are made to vanish. “Hide the real” and “show the false” advises JTRIG.[257]

As the date for possible adoption of the WHO’s proposed pandemic treaty and amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) draws near (27th May 2024), the media-consuming public will likely be consumed by the news cycle of the day. Will populations register warnings that the proposed treaty and amendments threaten to “give WHO unprecedented power to override national sovereignty”, reportedly involving medical interventions, surveillance, and vaccinations?[258-264] Or that actors involved in the new WHO powers are, at present, “actively seeking to ‘normalize’ the implementation of a global digital health certificate”?[265]

Will the overlap between these warnings and Proteus’ vision of a post-2020 world capture citizens’ attention? That is, a world in which “Individuals carry a ‘MedID’ used to enter anywhere” and “the World Health Organization (WHO) is the most important international organization,” which “coordinates military security efforts” with the UN.[266] Will Proteus’ background in forecasting of world events be understood and recalled, with its simultaneous interest in the coming of the “Tweaked”, “Freaked”, and “Geeked” social classes? Will that be deemed sufficiently worthy of attention for informed observers to avert what appears to be the next fork in the transhumanist road for humanity: the WHO arrogating to itself sovereign powers of states and their citizens?

If yet another signifier were needed to underscore the growing significance of the WHO and its machinations, in 2022, as the early physical and psychological ravages of the coercive military-backed ‘vaccination’ campaign were unfolding, the US Army Fourth Psyop Group released a recruitment video. The enlistment call appeared both to gloat over the extent of psychological manipulation, underway at the time, and to seek to entice new recruits with the allure of secrecy, deception, and international intrigue. Titled ‘Ghosts in the Machine: Psywar’ the production was set to the soundtrack of ‘Last Goodbye’.

In this show of hand, the Fourth Psyop Group declares that, “warfare is evolving, and all the world’s a stage … There is another very important phase of warfare. It has as its target not the body, but the mind”. Capitalised text accompanying the voice-over reads, “YOU’LL FIND US IN THE SHADOWS … ANYTHING WE TOUCH IS A WEAPON. WE COME IN MANY FORMS. WE ARE EVERYWHERE”.

The three minute film is prefaced by the following question, set against an image of an actor on a stage: “WHO’S PULLING THE STRINGS?” From right to left the letters disappear, as though to reveal a one-word answer: WHO

The rhetorical question subliminally beckons us, as audience members, to ponder the extent to which the WHO (king on the chessboard) in this question is the answer to our concerns. If, indeed, “All the world’s a stage,” and “all the men and women merely players;” it is fairly easy to see how stagecraft and statecraft might have merged in the interest of pulling off the greatest power play in history.
