Defense Tech relays this email from a poor fellow who is being targeted by the US Government's Orbital Mind Control Lasers (OMCL). Either that, or he is just nuts. There is also a slight possibility he just has a great sense of humor.

Dear Sir,

Satellite Technology could be used on terrorist. If a terrorist is caught the "lasered" with Satellite technology then let go. That individual can be monitored 24/7/365 with out ever knowing that it is being done to him. Follow the rat back to the nest. If the "laser" that can shock the nervous system is also applied then that individual can be controlled to a certain extent. Sleep deprivation can be used and the shocking of the nervous system takes allot out of the individual. I know it is being used on me.

I am sending you this because I do not know who else to turn to. Satellite technology is being used on me. The only proof I have is other people hearing these people. My dentist, people at a coffee shop, barber, suppermarket, everywhere I go ect... I hoped that I was just mentally ill but when other people can hear them then it's not me. Me I am having sleep deprivation, shocking to my nervous system and other disruptive things being done to me utilizing this technology.

Remember the MIT paper on prevention of mind control rays? Also on DefenseTech, there is an interesting post about the Air Force's satellite hackers. Orbital mind control systems are highly vulnerable.

Yet another reason why The Industrial Memetics Institute will have the upper hand in the blooming mind control industry. The Industrial Memetics MemeRay Mind Influence Platform (MRMIP) is purely terrestrial, leading to lower implementation costs and higher ROI. Furthermore, our system is designed specifically for commercial application. There will be no curve in adapting military technology for use in the private sector, and no problems with declassification of technology specifications. We care only about our patent royalties, and your business!

MRMIP will be able to create levels of brand identification that normally takes a decade to achieve, in just a few minutes. No longer will it be necessary to wage series after series of nationwide marketing campaigns in order to make your brand a household name! After we turn MRMIP on your target market, consumers will be unable to get your brand out of their daily thoughts for years to come.

Defense Tech: We Get Letters: 'Sats Attacking My Brain'

New on the Internet: a community of people who believe the government is beaming voices into their minds. They may be crazy, but the Pentagon has pursued a weapon that can do just that.

While I am quite relieved that the US government is taking the heat for all the problems with the Industrial Memetics MemeRay, I feel horrible about it. It's truly frustrating. It seems like no matter what we tweak, the messages people receive are not the ones we are sending. sigh...

We remain comitted. We will get the MemeRay working properly. Eventually our TIs will receive a steady stream of messages that enforce our client's brands, provide news alerts, tips on penny stocks, deals on pharmaceuticals, and other information crafted to improve their lives.

DefenseTech is all over this:

Reading the Washington Post article is mandatory:

Mind Games

The Federal Trade Commission yesterday said that companies engaging in word-of-mouth marketing, in which people are compensated to promote products to their peers, must disclose those relationships.

In a staff opinion issued yesterday, the consumer protection agency weighed in for the first time on the practice. Though no accurate figures exist on how much money advertisers spend on such marketing, it is quickly becoming a preferred method for reaching consumers who are skeptical of other forms of advertising.

They want to put a stop to this kind of thing:

The group cited a 2002 Wall Street Journal article on a marketing campaign by Sony Ericsson Mobile for its T68i mobile phone and digital camera. The initiative, called "Fake Tourist," involved placing 60 actors posing as tourists at attractions in New York and Seattle to demonstrate the camera phone. The actors asked passersby to take their photo, which demonstrated the camera phone's capabilities, but the actors did not identify themselves as representatives for Sony Ericsson.

None of this will be necessary anyway once Industrial Memetics finishes development of it's Top Secret MemeRay. For the right price, we will make targeted demographics in a given DMA have an uncontrollable need for your product. In it's current state, all we can do is create distortions of logic that result in polarizing political views... But we will get past that hurdle!
