Brain-Computer Interfacing

–
The idea of interfacing minds with machines has long captured the human imagination.

Recent advances in neuroscience and engineering are making this a reality, opening the door to restoring and potentially augmenting human physical and mental capabilities.

Medical applications such as cochlear implants for the deaf and deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease are becoming increasingly commonplace. Brain-computer interfaces (#BCIs) (also known as brain-machine interfaces or #BMIs) are now being explored in applications as diverse as security, lie detection, alertness monitoring, telepresence, gaming, education, art, and human augmentation.

⚠️Government agencies are using hugely inappropriate & intrusive surveillance advertising techniques.

"The Government must halt any targeting of people based on ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation by proxy”, Jake Hurfurt warns.

PETITION:
Hold a parliamentary vote on whether to reject amendments to the IHR 2005

We are concerned that Parliament has not discussed and will not have a say on the 307 proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations, AND the amendments to 5 Articles of the IHR that were ADOPTED by the 75th World Health Assembly on 27 May 2022.

The amendments that were adopted on 27 May 2022 have not been debated in or voted on by Parliament. The UK has the authority to reject them under Article 61 of the IHR, but any such rejection must be within 18 months of their adoption.

Parliament must be given the opportunity to vote on whether to reject the amendments that have already been adopted, and also the 307 proposed amendments that are currently being negotiated by the UK delegates to the 76th World Health Assembly. The UK has not proposed any of the 307 amendments.

A Warning From the Unpublished Preface to Orwell’s Animal Farm

Orwell noted that the intellectual censorship he encountered was spontaneous — not a campaign or conspiracy — just a sense that people shouldn’t read his work.

His Preface, “The Freedom of the Press,” was omitted from the first edition of the book, then disappeared, and was not rediscovered until 1971. From it, we learn that Orwell had considerable difficulty getting his fable published.

Scientists sent thoughts from brain to brain with nothing in between

While brain-to-brain interfaces have existed in science fiction novels for decades, they have long been thought to be a technological innovation only feasible in our wildest dreams. Between our lack of understanding of the intricacies of the human brain, the ethical barriers to the types of experiments long believed to be necessary for such interfaces, and a lack of well-defined need for such technology, researchers have instead focused on developing brain-to-machine interfaces for prosthetics, rehabilitation, and mental health treatment.

I suspect that any advertising agency which used an all-white family in an advertisement would be reprimanded and forced to apologise for racism. I can just see the ruling now: ‘All standard nuclear families portrayed in advertisements must contain one adult of African origin, one adult of Asian origin, one adult of North American origin, one adult of Australasian origin, one adult of European origin and one adult from somewhere in outer space.’

Human Rights versus Inalienable Rights

For reasons that will become apparent, it is important that we fully understand the UN’s concept of “human rights.”

Human rights are mentioned nine times in the United Nations Charter.

A key document referenced by the UN Charter is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was first accepted by all members of the United Nations on December 10, 1948.

The preamble of the Declaration recognises that the “equal and inalienable rights” of all human beings are the “foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.” After that, “inalienable rights” are never again mentioned in the entire Declaration.

👉 “Human rights” are nothing like “inalienable rights.”

Inalienable rights, unlike human rights, are not bestowed upon us by any governing authority. Rather, they are innate to each of us. They are immutable. They are ours in equal measure. The only source of inalienable rights is Natural Law, or God’s Law.

No one—no government, no intergovernmental organisation, no human institution or human ruler—can ever legitimately claim the right to grant or deny our inalienable rights. Humanity can claim no collectiveauthority to grant or deny the inalienable rights of any individual human being.

Beyond the preamble, the UN’s Universal Declaration of #HumanRights (UDHR) concerns itself exclusively with “human rights.” But asserting, as it does, that human rights are some sort of expression of inalienable rights is a fabrication—a lie.

Indoctrination, Intimidation & Intolerance: What Passes for Education Today

This is what it means to go back-to-school in America today. Instead of being taught the three R’s of education (reading, writing and arithmetic), young people are being drilled in the three I’s of life in the American police state: indoctrination, intimidation and intolerance.
Indeed, while young people today are learning first-hand what it means to be at the epicenter of politically charged culture wars, test scores indicate that students are not learning how to succeed in social studies, math and reading.
