Thought Control
At the touch of a key, personal details about individuals can be compiled from computer data banks
By Stanley N. Wellborn
Is it possible to manipulate people covertly to behave in ways over which each has little control?
A number of researchers and social critics believe that science is on the verge of perfecting unconscious coercion. They point to subliminal advertising, tinkering with human genetics and exotic techniques such as microwave bombardment of the brain as portents of Orwell’s thought control.
Laboratory fertilization of human embryos is already possible, and researchers are working on techniques to alter genes to prevent diseases. One critic of modern genetic techniques, Jeremy Rifkin, believes that political preferences could eventually be spliced into human beings.
“Attempts to reform the internal blueprint of the human species will raise the ominous specter of biological caste systems,” says Rifkin. “When the individual can be programmed at conception, political power becomes more absolute and human freedom more elusive.”
Closer at hand are subliminal-suggestion techniques widely used in advertising. With one called time compression, computers can squeeze human speech into a smaller time frame, thus allowing advertisers to tuck more information into commercials. The listener is not aware of the speech manipulation.
Another method is to insert messages onto television or movie screens at such a fast pace that viewers aren’t aware that they are seeing them. Promoters say the technique can have powerful results when used over several months.
“People fear the use of subliminal advertising because they really don’t understand how the subconscious mind works,” says Stephen McDaniel, assistant professor of marketing at Texas A&M University. “Some perceive it as a form of brainwashing and don’t like the idea of receiving information and not consciously knowing it.”
An even more sinister behavior modification technique is cited by Stanford University psychologist Philip Zimbardo: “Soviet scientists have been perfecting a device that bombards the brain with low-frequency radio waves. These airborne waves can travel over distances and are known to change the behavior of animals and humans in their path. Such remote control makes possible potentially frightening uses for altering the brain’s functioning.”
Technologies of tomorrow present Americans with new choices.
As Jacques Vallée, a computer scientist and founder of InfoMedia, Inc., of San Bruno, Calif., observes: “Technology is creating a new ‘nervous system’ for society, and we do not know how it is going to behave. What we must understand is that technology is not neutral. It forces us to make choices. It challenges business and society to conceive alternatives to the world that technology is producing.”
Even if society resists technical intrusions on individual privacy, the fact that the technology exists means that sooner or later someone - either in or out of the government - can subvert it for evil purposes. That is Orwell’s warning for 1984 and the years beyond.

Rapid Rise and Fall for Body-Scanning Clinics
It is uncanny to me that these scanning companies were put out of business so silently. It is like the same mind control that quietly seeps into the subconscious of the masses--like the all pervasive notion that the US public holds that there is 'no such thing as electronic mind control'. The way that Bush got elected and re-elected used this kind of silent sound hypnosis.
This kind of business shut down, I am sure, is being done through silent sound hypnosis technology, broadcasted into the minds of unknowing public over all the networks and clear channel radio stations.
These networks of radio and television are operating monopolies and no one does a damn thing to stop it. It really is eerie how much power the owners of this technology are, they can make monsters out of masses of ignorant victims worldwide.

Rapid Rise and Fall for Body-Scanning Clinics
By GINA KOLATA
Published: January 23, 2005
or a brief moment, Dr. Thomas Giannulli, a Seattle internist, thought he was getting in at the start of an exciting new area of medicine. He was opening a company to offer CT scans to the public - no doctor's referral necessary. The scans, he said, could find diseases like cancer or heart disease early, long before there were symptoms. And, for the scan centers, there was money to be made.
The demand for the scans - of the chest, of the abdomen, of the whole body - was so great that when Dr. Giannulli opened his center in 2001, he could hardly keep up. "We were very successful; we had waiting lists," he said. He was spending $20,000 a month on advertising and still making money.
Three years later, the center was down to one or two patients a day and Dr. Giannulli was forgoing a paycheck. Finally, late last year, he gave up and closed the center.
Dr. Giannulli's experience, repeated across the country, is one of the most remarkable stories yet of a medical technology bubble that burst, health care researchers say.
It began as a sort of medical gold rush, with hundreds of scanning centers, with ceaseless direct-to-consumer advertising, and with thousands of Americans paying out of pocket for the scans, which could cost $1,000 or more.
It ended abruptly with the wholesale shuttering of businesses.
CT Screening International, which scanned 25,000 people at 13 centers across the nation, went out of business. AmeriScan, another national chain, also closed. So, radiologists say, did another company that put scanners in vans and traveled to small towns in the South.
The business's collapse, health care researchers say, holds lessons about the workings of American medicine.
It shows the limits of direct-to-consumer advertising and the power of dissuasion by professional societies, which warned against getting one of these scans. The tests, they said, would mostly find innocuous lumps in places like the thyroid or lungs, requiring rounds of additional tests to rule out real problems, and would miss common cancers, like those of the breast.
It also shows the workings of the medical market - when insurers refused to pay, requiring customers to dig into their own pockets for the tests, scanning centers found themselves cutting prices to compete. Within a year, some centers said, prices fell to less than $500 from $1,000 or more.
And when the flow of patients began to slow, the combination of low prices and reduced business spelled doom. It turned out that the assumption by radiologists - that people would be willing to pay for early detection by scans and that there was a huge market waiting to be tapped - were not true.
The scans were something new in American medicine - not like traditional screening scans, mammograms or colonoscopies, for example, in which patients are overseen by their doctors. People requested these scans on their own. They paid on their own, with no hints that insurers would start picking up the bill. And the reports came to the customers, not their doctors.
Some proponents said the scans would enable people to take their health care into their own hands. Critics said the scans were medical nightmares, a powerful medical technology gone out of control.
But few anticipated the precipitous reversal of fortune for the scanning centers.
In Seattle, Dr. Scott Ramsey of the University of Washington got a federal grant to study patients at nine centers, expecting to enroll 1,500 patients. Last year, when he was ready to begin, only two centers were left, and he enrolled just 50 patients.
He also hoped to do a study with a company, ScanQuest, on the scans' effectiveness. "We were in negotiations when they suddenly stopped returning our phone calls," Dr. Ramsey said. It turned out that ScanQuest had gone out of business.
"I've never seen a market for a medical technology collapse so completely," Dr. Ramsey said.
Whole body scans erupted onto the national scene in 2000, helped in large part by Dr. Harvey Eisenberg, the owner of HealthView, a scanning center in Newport Beach, Calif. Oprah Winfrey, scanned there, featured him on her show, and his competitors watched with interest as he got attention on morning shows like "Good Morning America" and "Today" as well as in newspapers and magazines like USA Today and Men's Health. Soon, HealthView's waiting list grew to eight months.
