Military To Scan Soldier's Brains For Signs Of Disloyalty?
2014-07-23
"Using HandShake, a soldier would place a specially designed helmet on a subject, whether another military member or ally, who would then be shown a series of images. Electrodes fitted within the helmet are capable of reading electromagnetic signals in the brain while also scanning for blood flow changes. While most of the images shown would be benign in nature, some would be designed to trigger a reaction in the brain of a person who poses a potential insider threat, Defense One claims."

#21  FYI TOPIX > [IWPR.org] ISIS "GREATER THREAT" TO WEST THAN AL-QAEDA.

Mainly because no one Govt-State will be able to get rid of it - moreso in this Age of OWG Globalism + mighty Bammer-ian "red lines".

BUT MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE BOY = FUTURE "HIDDEN IMAM/ISLAMIC MAHDI".

* RELATED FREEREPUBLIC > [CNS.com]STATE DEPT. OFFCIAL; ISIS NO LONGER A TERRORIST GROUP, BUT A "FULL-BLOWN ARMY".

Gonna be around for a long time to come yet.

#20  Or, as 1960-70's = 2014 Guam Taotamonas would say, AKA IN PART HOW THE FUTURE, US-BORN "HIDDEN IMAM/ISLAMIC MAHDI" CONVERTED TO ISLAM.

And so it begins ... ...

The Past, as they say, is Prologue.

As we speak, the US-West is directly or indirectly, but oh so PCorrectly, helping the Islamic World include Radical Islam to Nuclearize-n-Weaponize - DITTO THE ISLAMIC IMAM/MAHDI.

ADONAI, ADONAI - FORGIVE THEM, FATHER, FOR THEY KNEW WHAT THEY DID!

#19  They used Obama and Kerry's brain scan as the base line of disloyal to America. You have to start with a known disloyal scan profile.

#18  Soon enough, they will come for the progressives!

A courtesy call for Mr. Trotsky.

#17  Only of they are the 'wrong kind' of politicians and wannabees JohnQC.

#16  Can we apply this to politicians and wannabees?

#15  First they came for the military, but I wasn't one of them, so I did not object.

Then they came for the ... old white men, and I was taken away.

Soon enough, they will come for the progressives!

#14  Well I guarantee that if they did this on me I would suddenly come up as really disloyal for that moment.

And most likely completely psychotic.

And nothing a good 4th of July BBQ with flags and fireworks wouldn't fix.

#13  There is actually training that can be done to fool a polygraph. Not the old tack-in-the-shoe bit, but more psychological, and martial arts or yoga body control. I know of at least one person who completely lied on a poly and it didn't raise any opposition. He/she said: it all starts with convincing yourself of what you want then truth to be, after that the training makes it easy (or words to that effect). It pretty well known in some circles that sociopaths or psychopaths can ace a polygraph.

#12  Same as the polygraph, your guilt or innocence lies in the interview afterwards. That's where you will be grilled mercilessly by a technician desperately trying to validate his theory about your truthfulness. If you waiver on bit from your sworn "testimony", you are an admitted liar and therefore considered to have lied repeatedly. If you steadfastly hold your ground, no tech will put his career on the line, it will be "inconclusive".

#10  Actually, Obama might want this so his minions can go after those pesky whistleblowers, like in the VA.

#9  I've sat thru a lifestyle polygraph, more than once. It's no picnic. And it's sadly ineffective, as evidenced by history, going back to the Walkers or more recently, Snowden and Bradley Manning. The Aussies have dropped the use of polygraph. Hasn't hurt them.

This sounds like more security kabuki theater.

#8  You don't say in the article WHOSE govt. is doing this.

American govt.? Take a good look at the man with the brain reading helmet when he tries to put it on you. Reach down and get him by his nuts good and solid..... and smile.

Tell him to sing the Star Spangled Banner real soprano....as loud as he can.

#7  Civilian Personnel Office (CPO) employees are no doubt being trained on 'HandShake' as we speak. 'Big Gov't' is about to get even bigger, and even more democratic....if that is possible.

#6  Yep ed. One of those images will be Obastard and it's downhill from there.

Wait till this becomes universal like drug tests now.

#5  And the best part is that they can claim it says whatever their political agenda needs it to say.

#2  Do you like stories about Gladiators? Sorry mate, you just came up inconclusive.
