Nothing really new here-been available since the 1960's-could this have been used for the Newtown shootings and others?

New Voice to Skull Technology Freaks Out New Yorkers
Below you will find an interesting article that unveils to the world the use
of voice to skull technology - i.e. the projection of voices into your head.
Our natural reaction, depending on what kind of person you are, is either
wow ain't it cool or holy hell what is going on?
When those of us with a slight view to history and technology look at it, it
is anything but great or cool. This technology was developed in the 1960's
(and misused by goverments against unsuspecting people for the past 50
years) and shown to the public by Nick Begich on the Wendy Mesley show on
CBC some years ago - of course the video footage has disappeared down the
memory hole since then. This technology was invented and used in the 1960's
but kept from the public for the past 50 years (like many other technologies
including cell phone technology). This sounds like standard operating
procedure to me. The elitist powers that be have developed various
technologies then give them to the public many decades later and only when
the technologies serve their agenda.
OK. So the question becomes how does hearing voices in your head serve their
agenda?
Well, do you have an iPod or other MP3 player? These devices are getting us
used to hearing voices in our heads. Hmmm... I wonder why? Simply, it is a
conditioning exercise to make us all familiar with hearing voices in our
heads in preparation for "future" technologies where this is the norm. This
could be mind controlled interactive game control consoles, communications
with friends and family, or orders from your government.
Ultimately, this inevitabley leads to the body/brain chip, which initially
will be presented as a benefit and heralded by its initial participants as
completely amazing due to its convenience, its benefit to the sick and
elderly, and amazing online social and sexual interactions. Unfortunately,
the end game of the implantable microchip is in reality the end of free
humanity. AI super computers, which already exist, will ultimately control
the thoughts and minds of all those with implanted chips. After enough
people are implanted, the rest can be forced and the switch will be thrown
and all those implanted made subservient to the computer and the elite that
control them.
As the National Science Foundation report in 2002 "Converging Technologies
for Improving Human Performance" stated you could become part of the hive
mind.
"If we can easily exchange large chunks of knowledge and are connected by
high-bandwidth communication paths, the function and purpose served by
individuals becomes unclear. Individuals have served to keep the gene pool
stirred up and healthy via sexual reproduction, but this datahandling
process would no longer necessarily be linked to individuals. With knowledge
no longer encapsulated in individuals, the distinction between individuals
and the entirety of humanity would blur. Think Vulcan mind-meld. We would
perhaps become more of a hive mind - an enormous, single, intelligent
entity."
You've been warned! Hmmm... I think I might be overusing that statement but
I can't help myself.
After you read the article below, I'll talk about some of the spin in the
article.
Hear Voices? It May Be an Ad
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- New Yorker Alison Wilson was walking down Prince
Street in SoHo last week when she heard a woman's voice right in her ear
asking, "Who's there?
Who's there?" She looked around to find no one in her immediate
surroundings.
Then the voice said, "It's not your imagination." No, he's not crazy: Our
intrepid reporter Andrew Hampp ventures to SoHo to hear for himself the
technology that has New Yorkers 'freaked out' and A&E buzzing. Indeed it
isn't.
It's an ad for "Paranormal State," a ghost-themed series premiering on A&E
this week.
The billboard uses technology manufactured by Holosonic that transmits an
"audio spotlight" from a rooftop speaker so that the sound is contained
within your cranium.
The technology, ideal for museums and libraries or environments that require
a quiet atmosphere for isolated audio slideshows, has rarely been used on
such a scale before.
For random passersby and residents who have to walk unwittingly through the
area where the voice will penetrate their inner peace, it's another story.
Ms. Wilson, a New York-based stylist, said she expected the voice inside her
head to be some type of creative project but could see how others might
perceive it differently, particularly on a late-night stroll home.
"I might be a little freaked out, and I wouldn't necessarily think it's
coming from that billboard," she said. Less-intrusive approach? Joe Pompei,
president and founder of Holosonics, said the creepy approach is key to
drawing attention to A&E's show.
But, he noted, the technology was designed to avoid adding to noise
pollution.
"If you really want to annoy a lot of people, a loudspeaker is the best way
to do it," he said.
"If you set up a loudspeaker on the top of a building, everybody's going to
hear that noise.
But if you're only directing that sound to a specific viewer, you're never
going to hear a neighbor complaint from street vendors or pedestrians.
The whole idea is to spare other people." Holosonics has partnered with a
cable network once before, when Court TV implemented the technology to
promote its "Mystery Whisperer" in the mystery sections of select
bookstores.
Mr. Pompei said the company also has tested retail deployments in grocery
stores with Procter & Gamble and Kraft for customized audio messaging.
So a customer, for example, looking to buy laundry detergent could suddenly
hear the sound of gurgling water and thus feel compelled to buy Tide as a
result of the sonic experience. Mr. Pompei contends that the technology will
take time for consumers to get used to, much like the lights on digital
signage and illuminated billboards did when they were first used.
The website Gawker posted an item about the billboard last week with the
headline "Schizophrenia is the new ad gimmick," and asked "How soon will it
be until in addition to the do-not-call list, we'll have a 'do not beam
commercial messages into my head' list?" "There's going to be a certain
population sensitive to it.
But once people see what it does and hear for themselves, they'll see it's
effective for getting attention," Mr. Pompei said. More disruptions A&E's $3
million to $5 million campaign for "Paranormal" includes other more
disruptive elements than just the one audio ad in New York.
In Los Angeles, a mechanical face creeps out of a billboard as if it's
coming toward the viewer, and then recedes.
In print, the marketing team persuaded two print players to surrender a full
editorial page to their ads, flipping the gossip section in AM New York
upside down and turning a page in this week's Parade into a checkerboard of
ads for "Paranormal." It's not the network's first foray into supernatural
marketing, having launched a successful viral campaign for "Mind Freak" star
Criss Angel earlier this year that allowed users to trick their friends into
thinking Mr. Angel was reading their mind via YouTube. "We all know what you
need to do for one of these shows is get people talking about them," said
Guy Slattery, A&E's exec VP-marketing.
"It shouldn't be pure informational advertising.
When we were talking about marketing the show, nearly everyone had a
connection with a paranormal experience, and that was a surprise to us.
So we really tried to base the whole campaign on people's paranormal
experiences." So was it a ghost or just an annoyed resident who stole the
speaker from the SoHo billboard twice in one day last week?
Horizon Media, which helped place the billboard, had to find a new device
that would prevent theft from its rooftop location.
Mr. Pompei only takes it as a compliment that someone would go to the
trouble of stealing his technology, but hopes consumer acceptance comes with
time.
"The sound isn't rattling your skull, it's not penetrating you, it's not
doing anything nefarious at all.
It's just like having a flashlight vs. a light bulb," he said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Designed to avoid noise pollution." Excuse me but beaming noise into my
head is noise pollution and moreover an invasion of privacy.
"But once people see what it does and hear for themselves, they'll see it's
effective for getting attention." Oh, it's effective all right but where
does it end? It ends with the 24/7 projection of marketing messages into
your head to the exclusion of all else.
"The sound isn't rattling your skull, it's not penetrating you, it's not
doing anything nefarious at all." Not penetrating or nefarious. Are you
fucking kidding me? This is doublethink at its best. Forcing someone to
listen to a marketing message against their will is nefarious and an
invasion of privacy. They are out of their minds or at least they think we
are so stupid and compliant we'll accept it as good and normal. I for one
will not - will you?
