John Kendall Hawkins (2026), Nano-totalitarianism: Brain-computer interfaces, fusion databases, and the weaponisation of consciousness. Torture: Quarterly Journal on Rehabilitation of Torture Victims and Prevention of Torture 36(2)DOI: 10.7146/torture.v36i2.170024https://www.researchgate.net/publication/415134475_Nano-totalitarianism_Brain-computer_interfaces_fusion_databases_and_the_weaponisation_of_consciousnessIn case you didn't know, this technology is both real, being researched in NATO countries, but also undergoing field testing at this very moment. From what I know, it is being developed in at least the University of Oulu, Finland, where they already had relevant expertise through the development of 6G technology and so-called persuasive technology, which easily veers into coercion. There is at least one, but there are probably two test subjects currently undergoing "treatment" in Finland, one in Oulu (who spreads around notes around town containing his confused ramblings, which happen to loosely overlap thematically, yet not exactly in their content with what the other subject has been fed before). I've spoken to a researcher in Oulu involved with the development of this technology and its practical application protocols. They make a point of trying to argue it is somehow benevolent work, but torture, it is to my understanding, plain and simple. They use a cycle of Chinese-style brainwashing where the target is subjected to forced self-criticism under constant watch in a pseudo-social environment, to methodical humiliation, and conversely, the point appears to be to alternate to creating a Stockholm syndrome kind of relationship with the torturing party.
The reason this is being developed in Finland may have to do with the fact that Finland recently joined NATO, borders Russia and may have an incentive to position themselves as being a valuable NATO asset, as an R&D hub for defense industry contracting. In addition, the technology may be under development for use against EU-critical movements in Europe, as Europe is slowly but surely approaching a crisis with its nascent populist movements and the willingness of certain countries to rebel against authoritarianism and the antidemocratic system that is the EU. The current prime minister of Finland, in addition to the minister of defense and the president all belong to a technocratic, progressive, but currently mildly conservative-posing, pro-EU party with a clear bent for federalism. One of the EU's commissioners was chosen from said party's ranks. This kind o f technology undoes the very possibility of the masses being able to trust a system of representative democracy, because every single elected official can be targeted unbeknownst to the voting public. The technology has an inherently authoritarian, tyrannical, technocratic logic.
Satanic NATO labs in Finland? Russia must bomb them now!
>>110214216I'd prefer if the Finnish state would understand that developing or using this kind of toolkit won't get them what they want in terms of control, and it will probably incentivize civil unrest, unless admitted to, apologized for and unless serious actions are undertaken to make it impossible to repeat the use of these means of torture (destroying documentation and fabrication infrastructure). Personally, I don't much care who destroys the facilities that were used to produce the nanomachines, because I care about national independence and people's ability to affect the kinds of societies that they live in. It's not a national problem, but a human problem if these kinds of tools exist for authoritarian regimes to exert power clandestinely. It's not just control over elected officials, either, but all trade secrets are basically just a question of someone bothering to get to them. It's a cybersecurity nightmare for, e.g., journalists or citizens engaging in lawful organizing, but in a way that is against the current power structure, because they won't have any room to strategize in private. There will be NOTHING but controlled opposition.
another day, another black mirror + revelations mashup eventjust the way things are now
Why are you posting my flag on /g/?
>>110214525Also I'm pretty sure we don't have black mirror tech here in my cunt.
>>110214525Because it's my flag, too. People have no idea about what kind of a state they're actually living in. Life goes on, but under the surface, involuntary human experimentation is a real thing. High-tech torture. People being coerced into relinquishing their homes, other property and past lives altogether. Attempts at brainwashing people into adopting. e.g., SDGs or the Pride-movement's queer-theoretical framework as an ideology. The sort of thing self-satisfied and arrogant "elites" would do, although it is likely that the ideologies were picked out as themes, rather than as the goal to reach, considering that at least one victim was staunchly against these ideologies in their personal life. Then there's the fact that the conscripts don't have any idea what type of regime they would be expected to fight for, against another rather evil empire, both being undesirable forms of government if Finland is the kind of state that does this kind of thing. Direct democracy would be the only safeguard I could think of against these new means of control.
>>110214525What Finland needs is deep reform and transparency. Rooting out the decades old corruption that has seeped into the theater that is Finnish democracy. Because if the current prime minister's party would rubber stamp this kind of thing, they care shit all about the democratic process. This technology inherently endangers it at the very root, if the system is a parliamentary democracy.
Do you think ryssä would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?
>>110214684The current austerity government FUCKING HATES higher education and does not fund the universities for shit, let alone for claimed mind control research.
>>110214204another schizo so,ykaf>microwave nanochip torture>add some sciency bsover this post you went from nanotechnology to forced humiliationthis is just schizophrenia, not even joking anon
>>110214663>>110214684>>110214766are you finfags into government controlling the citizens btw? forced public BSDM for the youth sorry consription and civil defense exercises last nation to schizopost lol
Nice a schizo thread on /g/>>110214204Take your meds btw
>>110214766I was born in Oulu. I remember going to Lelutapuli as a kid to peruse their toy selection after having lunch at Golden Rax across a skywalk that used to be where the Valkea shopping centre is situated today. I attended the now closed Kastelli lower secondary school. Had pizza at Göreme pizzeria with my friends. Their pizzas were legendary at the time, ultra cheesy and the restaurant was particularly famous for their garlic bread. Those who know, know.
>>110214780They'd be more open to defense industry contracts, particularly within Kokoomus.
>>110214794The humiliation is about manipulating you to concede information, ultimately, I think. Or they're looking to develop tools for de-radicalizing individuals. Perhaps even going as far as to brainwash key individuals into making subtle adjustments to their world-view, in order to have them make different decisions in everyday life. Say that you can nudge the victim to think differently about whether to make a certain decision one way or not. AI-driven nudging, every second of your waking life and even while you are asleep.
>>110214816The biggest public-private secret is pretending we didn't build a huge internet spying facility at the Viestikoekeskus in Tikkakoski, as one can openly establish in the press and in the courts. We don't have a systemic conscript rape culture problem or any secret mind control devices, last I've checked.>>110214882That's possible. However, I think the academics involved would want to publish, which would require presenting relevant research as something else than it is, in a form which an academic paper could cite as evidence. That still makes it very unlikely.
>>110214816Humiliating a person for things like class guilt was very much a part of the way things happened in China during the cultural revolution. In this case, it's the victim's rejection of SDGs.Now, what about the article and the technological danger it portrays?
>>110214921It's dual use technology. Maybe there'll be articles later, on selected topics. On the other hand, we're talking about the sorts of military secrets that would NOT necessarily see the light of day, if the researchers were guaranteed successful careers within NATO and in the darkness. Do you think MIT researchers publish about all of the more secretive defense, surveillance and espionage tech R&D they must be involved in? Besides, the article I linked does cite a number of papers.
>>110214921consription is a rape in itself, just not in the anus but it takes an individual and strips of ownership of body
>>110214951about the article?>humanities and not tech journal>chatGPT in keywords>"The essay is anticipatory in character"
>>110214991If there are secret mind control/interrogation experiments being conducted by secret private contractors for secret private defense companies, I think concrete credible evidence of it would be of significant interest to the public of a discontent country going into an election year. I think a country so exposed would be a country better for being so exposed. Publish and be damned.
>>110214766Voin mää sulle suomeakin puhua. Ajoin pahki niihin kukkaistutuksiin, joita oli joskus Pakkiksen (Pakkahuoneenkadun) varrella kesäaikaan. No en ajanut, mutta olisin voinut. Ryyppäsin nuorena teatterin takana (Oulun kaupunginteatteri), missä on nykyään kamerat. Kusin Linnasaaressa puskaan Qstockin aikaan muiden mukana, kun bajamajoja ei ollut.
hey as there are finns in the thread can I ask if tarja ylitalo is considered boomer music? legit don't know where to do it.jannies ples don't delete
>>110215033But the system has already been put together and is being field tested in Oulu. Just read the article, it's not that long.
>>110215038I agree. I've contacted a number of journalists about the topic. I should probably contact more. Concrete evidence is difficult to produce, however. They don't even need surgery anymore. Something like a prepared glass or a nasal spray could be enough to get the stuff into the victim's bloodstream and through the bloodstream into the brain. All they need is the key to your front door, pretty much. It may be worth noting that members of the parliaments' homes have been entered by supposedly foreign actors in recent years, which has been in the news very recently.https://www.is.fi/politiikka/art-2000012325423.html
>>110215116One would imagine that a reliable nasally sprayed mind control mechanism would be valuable enough to global superpowers as to have balanced the national debt a little bit.
>>110215116I suppose the invasions of privacy at the MEPs' homes could be a subterfuge operation where they mask the real activity or it could be a threat to encourage people to get in line. Considering the timeline of the invasions and otherwise as well (we joined NATO under SDP leadership), there's no telling whether the project at Oulu couldn't have been greenlit during the previous government's tenure. In that case, the parties that had been involved with the project's continuation would have been Kokoomus, SDP and Keskusta, at least. It's a possibility.
>>110215145Or to further personal careers in and after politics. Sanna Marin sure got ahead after she left Finnish politics, but has threatened to return of Russia were to attack. I'm guessing her, Häkkänen and Orpo wouldn't be opposed to having a better chance at attaining high rank within the EU or NATO in the future.
No matter what, more people should be made aware of the sheer possibility of this kind of a system being put together. It's cybersecurity nightmare, from a tech worker's perspective, among everything else.
>>110214204>regime in which a detainee is held in continuous psychological distress through fabricated scenarios, interference with memory, and synthetic social contact. Such a system would turn neuroplasticity into an instrument, laying down durable neural pathways of fear, while automated monitoring assesses compliance in real timeSooooo kind of like modern society?
