AF 2025 - Implanted Microscopic Brain Chips

Subject: AF 2025 - Implanted Microscopic Brain Chips

A recent posting from Paul McGinnis to Glen Campbell's Area 51 List
recommended that we visit http://www.au.af.mil/au/2025/quicklk.htm to
read the Air Force's Vision of where it should be in the year 2025.

Well, I did, and quickly found that I appeared to have wandered into a
Hall of Mirrors that was only supposed to be the domain of the "Evil ET"
that the mass media is propagating with such escalating intensity.

Implanted Microscopic Brain Chips?  Mind and Behaviour Control?  Isn't
that what the "Abductee Support Groups" are all about?

There is, however, a wealth of anecdotal evidence to support the position that
these Implanted Microscopic Brain Chips are already in use.  Dr. Steven
Greer, a medical doctor, and International Director of CSETI
(http://www.cseti.com)
indicates that CSETI's information is that these chips are in fact in use
today to
simulate so-called "Alien Abductions", and are so efficacious that the
unfortunate
victims cannot distinguish fact from fiction.

Enjoy your tax dollars at work.

The Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force, General Ronald R.
Fogleman, tasked the Air University at Maxwell AFB, AL to look 30 years
into the future to identify the concepts, capabilities and technologies
the United States will require to remain the dominant air and space force
in the 21st century.

The Air University commander led a team of students and faculty from the
Air University's Air War College and Air Command and Staff College;
scientists and technologists from the Air Force Institute of Technology,
located at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH; Air Force Academy and AFROTC cadets
from around the country; and selected academic and business leaders in
the civilian community across the nation in the 10-month effort to meet
General Foglemans tasking.


The resulting study is called Air Force 2025 or 2025 for short. The team's
findings were briefed to General Fogleman in June 1996 and to the Secretary
of the Air Force, Dr. Sheila Widnall, in July 1996. The 2025 study was
subsequently published in a collection of white papers consisting of an
executive summary and 41 individual papers, totaling more than 3,300 pages
of text.

Implanted Microscopic Chip
(http://www.au.af.mil/au/2025/volume3/chap02/v3c2-4.htm#Implanted
Microscopic Chip)

The Implanted Microscopic Brain Chip performs two functions. First, it
links the individual to the IIC (Information Integration Center), creating a
seamless interface between the user and the information resources (in-time
collection data and archival databases). In essence, the chip relays the
processed information from the IIC to the user. Second, the chip creates a
computer-generated mental visualization based upon the user's request. The
visualization encompasses the individual and allows the user to place himself
into the selected battlespace.

Why the Implanted Microscopic Chip? While other methods such as specially
configured rooms, special helmets, or sunglasses may be used to interface
the user with the IIC, the microscopic chip is the most viable. Two real
operational concerns support the use of implanted chips and argue against
larger "physical" entities to access the Cyber Situation.

First, future operations will demand a highly flexible and mobile force
that is ready at moment's notice to employ aerospace power. The chip will
give these forces the ability to communicate, visualize, and prosecute
military operations. Having to manage and deploy a "physical" platform or
room hampers mobility and delays time-sensitive operations. US aerospace
forces must be prepared to fight or to conduct mobility or special
operations anywhere in the world on extremely short notice although some of
these operations may be staged directly from the continental United
States.

Second, a physical entity creates a target vulnerable to enemy attack or
sabotage. A highly mobile information operations center created with the
chip-IIC interface makes it much more elusive to enemy attack. These
reasons argue against a larger physical entity for the Cyber Situation.

While this is a reasonable portability rationale for the use of chip, some
may wonder, "Why not use special sunglasses or helmets?" The answer i
simple. An implanted microscopic chip does not require security measures to
verify whether the right person is connected to the IIC, whereas a room,
helmet, or sunglasses requires additional time-consuming access control
mechanisms to verify an individual's identity and level of control within
the Cyber Situation.

Further, survey any group of commanders, decision makers, or other military
personnel if they enjoy carrying a beeper or "brick" at all times. Likely,
few like to carry a piece of equipment. Now, imagine having to maintain a
critical instrument that allows an individual to access the Cyber
Situation, and thus control the US military forces. Clearly, this is not an
enviable position, since the individual may misplace or lose the helmet or
sunglasses, or worse yet, the enemy may steal or destroy it. These are
unnecessary burdens.

Ethical and Public Relations Issues. Implanting "things" in people raises
ethical and public relations issues. While these concerns may be founded
on today's thinking, in 2025 they may not be as alarming. We already are
evolving toward technology implanting. For example, the military currently
requires its members to receive mandatory injections of biological
organisms (i.e., the flu shot). In the civilian world, people receive
mechanical hearts and other organs. Society has come to accept most of
these implants as a fact of life. By 2025 it is possible medical technology
will have nerve chips that allow amputees to control artificial limbs or
eye chips that allow the blind to see.  The civilian populace will likely
accept an implanted microscopic chips that allow military members to defend
vital national interests. Further, the US military will continue to be a
volunteer force that will freely accept the chip because it is a tool to
control technology and not as a tool to control the human.

SNIP

Lethal and Nonlethal Weapons

A wide range of lethal and nonlethal weapons will be linked to the IIC,
allowing authorized users to directly employ these weapons. A user's
authority to employ weapons will depend on the person's position,
responsibility, and rank.

                            Putting It Together

The Cyber Situation is not a traditional operations or command and control
center. Not a physical infrastructure, it consists of many components
geographically dispersed, redundant, and networked. When an authorized
individual needs situational updates and analyses, the user will link to an
IIC satellite by way of the implanted chip.

SNIP

Act Tasks

The IIC will be linked to such lethal and nonlethal assets as space-based
laser and various UAV. The authorized user will have immediate access to
these assets to rectify an undesirable situation. Precision-force assets
could allow users to optimize weapons to achieve one shot and one kill.

Internal Deactivation

If captured by the enemy, users with the implanted microscopic chip may
self-deactivate the chip and render it useless. Further, the chip
disintegrates and cannot be extracted by the enemy for reverse engineering
or for adversarial reasons.

External Deactivation

When faced with the disturbing events of espionage and defections of
friendly users to the enemy side, the IIC is engineered with the capability
to deactivate and disintegrate the offender's implanted chips. The highest
level commanders within the US military have the authority to access the
IIC and order the system to deactivate the defectors' chips the next time
they try to activate the Cyber Situation.

SNIP

Mutual Dependence

Once implanted, the microscopic chip will operate only when the individual
is alive because the chip creates mutual dependence on its host. In the
unfortunate circumstance where a Cyber Situation user dies, the implanted
microscopic chip becomes nonfunctional and disintegrates. This operational
dependence of the chip upon its host prevents adversaries from using a chip
from a deceased war fighter.
