Robert Naeslund: The Human Brain Project
The history of Cybernetics is the history of the human
brain project. It was developed as a collaboration
between the Military Research Agency and major
hospitals in the world. Other terms are man-machine-
interaction and bio-telemetry.

Cartoon Man: But tell me what the lecture is about.
Cartoon Woman: The modern Dr. Frankenstein! Brain
chips, medical abuse, so called mind control and
behavior manipulation!
From a lecture in Stockholm/Sweden, by Robert
Naeslund, 2011 about the technology of cybernetics,
introduced by the U.S. professor Norbert Weiner 1948
– also called for brain-computer-interaction – mind
control or man-machine interference.
From the 1940s electrodes were implanted in the
brains of unwitting hospital patients during surgery. In
the 1960s mini-transmitters that could easily be
implanted were developed and nowadays brain chips are
injected at hospitals internationally.
Welcome to an evening about brain control. This
subject that has received too little attention and that
has often been related to conspiracy theories and even
science fiction. But that in reality has been a state
project during the last 60 years, developed behind the
so-called “walls of power” the secrecy of military
research.
My name is Robert Naeslund and I am going to give an
explanation of the subject that the American senator
John Glenn had as his main activity during the last 3
years as a politician and that he, in his last speech in
the Senate in 1997 described as one of the most
important questions of our times. The technology that
uses remote control to directly connect to the human
brain emerged as super computers were developed in
the 1940s.
From the beginning this technology used implants in the
human brain –then electrodes, two-way communication
systems where the emitted frequencies could be
programmed with data for influence while the
returning signal sent biological information that the
super computer could compile and analyze.
The very first articles about this technology were
published in the New York Times in December 1948
when the American professor Norbert Weiner
published the book “Cybernetics” coining at the same
time the “cyber” concept.
It can be interesting to know where this work came
from. The technology came to be known as bio-medical
telemetry. That is the medical name for it. Telemetry
means measuring at a distance. Other terms were bio-
cybernetics, brain-computer-technology or man-
system-interaction, which is the Swedish State’s name
for this technology.
The first experiments—and this is something that will
challenge our understanding about medical ethics in
particular but also doctor’s functions—but there is
very strong documentation about this.
The first experiments with this technology in Sweden
that we can document took place at Karolinska Hospital
in Stockholm in 1946. Electrodes were implanted in
people’s brains—on the same premises as today—
without people’s knowledge, and these people were
thereafter used in medical experimentation with the
new technology.
Already in the 1950s—half a century ago this extensive
research program was organized behind the Defense
Research that was at that time called FOA, and that
functioned as knowledge bank, innovator, made
evaluations, trained doctors, and professors to develop
the project.
The Military Research has by now changed its name to
FOI and states in its annual report of 2011 that their
goal is to control man’s cognitive functions during the
individual’s whole lifetime. Cognition is about thought
and reason.
All facts which are presented about Sweden are as well
valid for the U.S. or any European nation. This techno-
political violent project goes on globally and Senator
John Glenn, Congressman Kucinich, the New York Times
and many professors have all protested against the
rape of the brain.
It’s with the super computers that they were able to
develop the big brain project that this lecture will be
about. Two years later, 1953, April 3rd, the New York
Times had an article with the title “Scientists Use
Electrodes in the Brain” and from it we can understand
that already at that time, 1953, one could transfer
both memory, thoughts, and sensory functions by
remote control.
I’ll quote a few lines from it: “Patient’s brains are wired
for sound with hair-like electrodes in a new technique
reported at the Mayo Clinic today. The scientists said
that through the depth recording and electrical
stimulation methods, new fields of investigation had
been opened into basic function of the human brain,
like memory, thought, action, sight and smell.” And this
was an article published April 3rd, 1953, but still today,
this is nothing that anyone talks about.
Well, at least not in the mass media or the popular
science magazines. Professor John Lilly mentioned in
his memoirs the book with the title The Scientist
published in 1978 that he 1953—again, this is
completely mind blowing because it happened such a
long time ago—58 years ago—he was called to a meeting
with the director for the US Mental Health Institute
that asked him to have his research with dolphins and
chimps—with electrodes in their brains—behind the
CIA’s secrecy. But he refused. And the answer that
he gave to the General Director was also published in
his memoirs telling us very much about how this type of
technology was developed and how far the development
had already gone by 1953.
“Dr. Remond that uses our technology in Paris shows
that this method of stimulation of the brain, can be
applied to humans without the help of a neurosurgeon.
He does it at his clinic. This means that anyone with
the right tools can do this to a person, in secret,
without any sign that electrodes have been used on the
person.
If this technology comes into the hands of a secret
agency, they can have a total control over a person and
change his beliefs extremely quickly.” That’s how far
this technology was developed already in 1953. CIA
had begun its collaboration with surgeons abroad, in
this case Paris, who implanted their electrodes
imperceptibly, secretly in patients’ brains.
The magazine Science, November 30, 1956 their first
extensive article regarding the brain subject under the
heading “Some Issues Concerning the Control of Human
Behavior”. Professor Carl R Rogers called the people
under these conditions the slaves of those who
directed their behavior.
Professor Carl Rogers, Science, November 30, 1956: “I
believe the prediction and control of behavior may be
misused. It also means that the great majority are
only the slaves. We can choose to use our knowledge to
enslave humans in ways we never dreamed of, in such a
way that they never become aware of the loss of their
personalities.”
And this was something that was published in the
magazine Science. He also added: “In such a case, we
can only look back on the concept of human freedom,
and the right to choose, as being an historical curiosity
that once existed, as a cultural accident, as a set of
values in a pre-technological civilization.”
Yes, these are indeed scary words. They represent
something that is in fact much more detestable than
what old traditional dictatorships represent and that
the project was developed because of government
decisions. Well, it’s a horror story.
This is something that the Swedish Defense
researcher and scientist P.M. Persson talked about in
an article in the FOA-magazine 1965 with the title
“Bio-Telemetry”. He wrote: “The word telemetry
comes from the Greek tele meaning far, and metri
meaning measure. In Swedish telemetry would be
called measuring at a distance. Telemetry can be
described as the science of the transmission of data
that is normally not available. The oldest and most
widely used radio system is the FM-FM system. It was
standardized as early as 1950 in the U.S.A. The
substantial portion of biotelemetry comprises data
transmission. This is mainly done by using implanted
transmitters. The technology has evolved very far in
Swedish medical research.”
What in fact was developed far back in the medical
research was the abuse of patients, in whose brains or
heads, transmitters had been implanted. And this was
something that, at that time, was done largely during
surgeries, when patients were anesthetized.
Dr. Jose Delgado, mentioned earlier in the New York
Times article published in 1967, a research report
Man’s Intervention in Intracerebral Functions. He
wrote that electrodes were implanted in patients in all
major hospitals around the world. I’ll quote a few
words from the research report. “Implanted
electrodes in humans are now used in all large hospitals.
The presence of electrodes in the brain is not harmful,
or even unpleasant and patients live a completely
normal life in their homes.
From the experimental point of view, behavioral
research requires individual freedom. In consequence
of this trend, we have begun to affect the brain’s
psychological reactions and scientific studies have
concluded that we can experiment with intracerebral
functions responsible for developing and maintaining
specific behaviors and mental functions.”
Well, this was nothing that the patients themselves—as
they were called—had the slightest idea about; that
they had been implanted and that they were used in
research. In experiments of their brain functions for
a lifetime connected to the systems.
With this technology, one of the most prioritized
research area emerged that had to do with changing
people’s perceptions, ideas and, in general, behavior.
To understand about politician’s attitudes regarding
this matter, I am going to quote a Swedish government
report from 1972. The Prime Minister Olof Palme
appointed Alva Myrdal as chairman of the state
commission “Choosing the Future”. The predicted
future wasn’t what anyone would accept. From the
following few words that I am going to quote, one can
better understand politician’s tactical games in which
human rights and all international conventions that
Sweden had signed to protect their citizens, were
completely mashed.
Alva Myrdal wrote: “Research in the field of brain
function and behavior is primarily aimed at identifying
the nature and extent of those changes that can be
achieved with the different methods. Discussions
about the various methods to influence people, are
leading to the question of the individual’s ability to
protect oneself from undesirable influence, and the
invasion of privacy.
Undoubtedly, the protection of the individual against
the abuse of these and similar methods in today’s
society is inadequate.” In fact, the government did not
want to give us--the people--protection against the
technological intrusions into our brains. This was 40
years ago. They gave their sympathies to power
instead of taking people’s side and felt solidarity with
some small but powerful groups such as the military,
the professors and the researchers. In particular,
these three groups. All of them wanted to develop it
against humanity. And the whole population.
About the same time, the American professor of
astronomy, Carl Sagan, published his book, “The
Dragons of Eden”. In that book he discussed this
technology, and he wrote that people, who accept
electrodes in their brains, have lost any chance of
freedom. I quote from it: “When it comes to
technological nightmares, it is important to realize the
possibility that people can understand it and prevent
government abuse.
The people that allow the government to implant
electrodes in their brains, have lost the battle of
freedom.” A way of understanding it—at least the
beginning of the lost freedom—is to realize that not a
single article has come out in the mass media that has
been able to create a debate about this technology and
its emerging role as a political factor.
The New York Times
The New York Times has been the best newspaper in
the world to challenge the U.S. project of mind control.
During the years 1967 to 1977 they published three
editorials and demanded a public debate. “Push Button
People” 1967—“Brain Wave” 1970—and the last:
“Control CIA, Not Behavior” August 5, 1977.
But there has been one newspaper, one, a single
newspaper in the world that has been better than any
other. It has challenged the greatest power on earth
in this matter and it is the New York Times. Already
from the start in the 1950s, they brought up research
reports and referred to the possibility to—for the
first time in human history—being able to neutralize—
not only mental diseases—but even physical ones. They
had written many articles about this development in
the 1950s. In the 1960s they began stating that the
technology was being misused. And they also published
many leading figure’s warnings about the social danger
of a society under brain—mind—control. During the
1970s the danger had become even greater. And more
and more articles were written about the CIA’s
development of brain systems. During a single summer
in 1977, the New York Times published 30 articles
about the CIA’s brain control systems. The most
important thing that was brought into light was that
this project already had begun in the late 1940s, and
that they had built with this technology, a state within
the state. In 1967, the New York Times had its first
editorial, the first of the three following over the next
10 years. This was published April 10, 1967 under the
title “Push Button People”. And they discussed the
ongoing experiments and warned about the
development of this technology, and it was stated that
it has to come up to a more general debate and to
everyone’s attention. They also mentioned that
probably there were countries in the world that
already had planned to subjugate their populations
using this technique.
I’ll quote a few words from the New York Times
editorial. “It is the possibility of similar control over
human beings that causes concern. Several years ago, a
scientist told a scientific meeting that experiments
with patients seems to support the distasteful
conclusion that motion, emotion and behavior can be
directed by electrical forces and that humans can be
controlled like robots by push buttons. It is indeed a
‘distasteful conclusion’ but it is quite conceivable that
in some countries investigations may be under way into
the possibility of using these techniques to control
human beings. But the mere existence of such a
possibility is disturbing, and certainly merits wider
public discussion and greater attention than it has
received up to now.” Certainly this was the way it was.
Both the U.S. and Sweden were countries that had far
reaching plans to subjugate citizens beyond their
knowledge in brain control systems. 3:
This is an issue where movies give more accurate
information, compared to professors or documentaries.
Here are some pictures from movies regarding what
has gone on for half a century.
(23:53) The Manchurian Candidate “Somebody got
into our heads with big steal-toe boots.”
(24:03) “Implants—that’s what I said.”
(24:11) The Japanese Movie--Paprika “It was an
invention that never should have been created.”
(24:20) “You should know better than anyone what can
happen if it’s misused.”
(24:30) Control Factor—“It’s psychotronic brain
entrainment technology.”
(24:38) “But if you don’t do something you won’t be
able to think for yourself.”
(24:46) “We’ll show these sons of bitches that the
guinea pigs can bite back.”
Some other movies regarding the brain subject: Total
Recall—The Lawnmower Man—Johnny Mnemonic—The
Cell—The Island—Metropia—Extreme Measures—X-
Man.
There are two versions of The Manchurian Candidate—
from the 1960s with Frank Sinatra—and from the
1990s with Meryl Streep and Sydney Poitier.
By this time, surgeons had under two decades
committed their abuses on patients. And this
technology during the whole time been developed
behind the Swedish Defense Research Institute (FOA).
The experiments have during the whole development
been very brutal. A conference was held in 1986,
March 13th, about this issue at the Swedish
Department of Justice.
Swedish Justice Minister Sten Wickbom had invited
some professors, researchers and a few politicians. At
the meeting it was mentioned that this mustn’t reach
the mass media. One professor, Bengt Pernow, said
that researchers from all over the world are coming to
Sweden, to experiment on humans, as they don’t have
the right to do that in their own countries. Because we
here in Sweden, have less protection for our Human
Rights than other nations. And this was mentioned in
clear words at that conference.
Brains can be stolen and raped! The authorities do it!
We tend to believe that we in Sweden live in the best
of all democracies. That’s how it usually sounds in the
mass media anyway. But if you only scratch a little bit
on the surface you discover something very different.
To return to the New York Times, they published their
second editorial September 19th, 1970 under the title
Brainwave. It indicated that Orwell’s vision of the
future had already expired. Something new was around
the corner, something new and much worse. Every
newborn baby—its first experience in this world—would
be to be implanted with a neuro-transmitter and for
their entire lifetime have emotion and cognition
controlled by the state computers.
Some lines from the New York Times editorial August
5, 1977.
CONTROL C.I.A. NOT BEHAVIOR
So we must add repugnant medical experimentation to
the list of horror stories emerging from the C.I.A. It
was no secret that the agency once hunted desperately
for means to control human behavior. One objective
was to program individuals so that they might do the
agencies bidding even to the point of ignoring such
fundamental laws of nature as self-preservation. We
are not sufficiently schooled in ethics to know how this
differs from murder. There is no substitute for also
holding their senior officials ethically and legally
responsible as individuals for all activities. Even at this
late date, the country should be told who sanctioned
such projects, and how.
These are good words coming from the New York
Times. Now 35 years later, we have every reason to
make the same demands in Sweden. What happened
under 60 years of brain experimentation? Which
doctors, professors, what institutions have been
involved in the most anti-democratic project that ever
existed? By what kind of methods has it been possible
to keep it off the media and people’s attention? What
defenses have been set up? What is the role of the
medical corporations? They are involved. What does
the government say? FOI’S super computers must be
turned off! We are all about to become the State’s lab
rats and chip manipulated behavior skulls, and that’s
verified by FOI itself.
U.S. Killed 33,000 Civilian People
With Train tech in South Vietnam in 1970
That was disclosed by the British Professor Malcolm
Varnar in his title “The Data Bank Society” 1970. By
mixing microchips in both medicines, alcohol and
probably Coca-Cola they could scan a large part of the
South Vietnamese over and middle-class. The super
computer revealed 33,000 people as important Viet
Cong sympathizers—and planned to kill them by the
same technology by which they were disclosed. By
changing their biological functions that they died . . .
To give you an idea about the Pentagon’s use of brain
control technology I will quote something which, just as
everything else no one has ever heard of even though it
should have been on the front pages of the mass media.
A few people with insight and courage dared to reveal
the most secret, the military’s use of brain technology
for mass murder. Two British scientists, Professor
Malcolm Varnar and Dr. Michael Stone, published 1970
the book “The Data Bank Society”, which is a strong
protest against the government’s power over people’s
minds. At that time, the U.S. had its war in Vietnam
and they had advanced methods for implanting people.
By mixing up microchips in probably both medicine and
alcohol one could within a few years scan a large part
of South Vietnam’s upper-class and middle-class. The
super computers could thereafter analyze and evaluate
people, assess their opinions and see what they are up
to. To find that there were 33,000 very important
people that were Viet-Cong sympathizers and that they
planned to execute. And it could be done through the
same technology through which their sympathies were
assessed, through the connection to their brains—their
biological functions could be changed to a state that
was lethal. By creating heart attacks, strokes, cancer
or whatever they liked.
The following brief quotation from Professor Malcolm
Varnar says a lot about that: “Hopelessly thwarted in
its attempts to improve information input, the U.S.
Command in Saigon has devoted its most skilled
resources to rendering its information processing
ultra-sophisticated. It has invented what is, in effect,
a computerized ‘extermination machine’ .. . . The High
Command in Saigon is now extending the idea of
computer selections to individuals as well as to
suspected areas. This year, 1970, the program aims to
eliminate 33,000 individual Vietnamese citizens who—it
has been determined by the computer—are Viet Cong
sympathizers.”
This quote also says a lot about being able to—through
the computer brain interaction—manipulate someone’s
biological functions—even to the point where they die.
Of one reason or the other that can’t be
differentiated from normal death causes. The same
sources are also in FOI’s super computer systems and
it is also used to keep the brain systems away from the
mass media and people’s knowledge.
A Swedish General Director, Stina Wahlstrom, wrote in
1989 in the Data Inspections Annual Book that as long
as this continues Sweden cannot be called a democracy.
She wrote about people exploited without their
knowledge or against their will. Of course, these are
strong words that we are not living in a democracy, but
a project like this cannot exist in a democracy.
However, one of the best protests and revelations
from this society’s own authorities was actually stated
a few years ago. March 16th, 2005, the European
Commission’s Ethical Council with the Swedish
professor Goran Hermeren as chairman published the
document Ethical Aspects of ICT Implants in the
Human Body to the EU Commission as a
recommendation on how one should regard this
technology’s future development. It is without doubt
challenging the system and it is the best of all other
explanations and the biggest disclosure made about
this technology. Their 30-page document explains that
implants are injected into people for research and
social control purposes.
ICT stands for Information-Communication-Technology
and includes everything from electrodes to biochips.
The quotes from their document say everything
regarding how this technology nowadays is used, not
only in Sweden, but all Europe, within the European
Union. They are talking about injecting people,
unwittingly, with chips. Well, this has in fact been
going on for 60 years now, but good they mention it.
I quote from their document: “Brain-computer
interface or direct brain control: the technologies
involved above are communications technologies. They
take information from the brain and externalize it.
These are internalizing technologies whose purpose is
to take information from the outside and provide
individual access to it.” They did not talk about any
particular individuals but all of us. It was declared
that it belonged to a transformation of the human
being.
Quote: “Our present society is confronted with the
changes that have to do with the anthropological
essence of what man’s inner nature is.” They did not
mention some specific people or population groups, but
in fact all of us. This is a planned population project
for the manipulation of our innermost nature. Our
right to think for ourselves. They explained that it
was a threat to the democratic society and, of course,
it is so. Not even a Hitler with his old methods could
be a more terrifying threat in today’s societies when
you compare them with the technologies intrusion into
our brains.
They wrote: “EGE makes the evaluation that non-
medical applications of implants are a potential threat
to human dignity and the democratic society. The use
of the remote control to take over people’s will must be
absolutely prohibited.” It is of course not less critical
to go into someone’s brain and change a human being’s
thoughts and will—than it was under Hitler’s and
Stalin’s times—forcing people behind barbed wire in
order to neutralize their thoughts and will power. It
says a lot about our political governance of course.
In addition, you should be aware that many of those
who sit in the parliament also have their brains
incorporated into the defense departments’ super
computer control systems. Of course, they become a
type of puppet for the will of others.
Down here is the Information; what frequencies go into
the brain of Americans when they have been implanted
in hospitals. The table was published in a research
report by Professor Stuart Mackay, “Telemetry is
Coming of Age” 1983.

Next quote is about health and our social life that has
largely degenerated since the brain technology had its
impact for a couple of decades ago. Now a neuro
professor, Anders Lasner, at Stockholm Brain
Institute states that approximately 30% of the people
in the EU suffer from brain diseases or behavioral
disorders.
(42:41) Photo graphic of a Campbell’s soup can labeled
Brain Stew with State Chips.
Too much of Brain Stew in the world. That is the
reason for madness, diseases and degeneration. The
EU Commission Ethical Board called it a change in
humanity’s anthropological being.
It increases and it is directly related to this
technology. We all have of course been confronted
with the tragedy that people seem to become stranger
and stranger.
The EU-ethical group provided us with an explanation
of the reasons: “It should be stressed that there are
no reliable scientific investigations concerning the long-
term health aspect of implants in the human body. The
unrestricted freedom of some may endanger the health
and safety for others. As in other areas, the freedom
to use implants in one’s own body, i.e., the principle of
freedom itself might collide with potential negative
social effects.”
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSIONS ETHICAL BOARD
WROTE:
Brain-computer-interface (BCI) or direct brain control
are communication technologies: they take information
from the brain and they externalize it. Contemporary
society is confronted with changes that have to do with
the anthropological essence of individuals . . . To what
extent might this technology be misused by the
military? . . . . The Member States and their ethics
councils have a responsibility to create conditions for
education and constructive, well-informed debates in
this area.
Under the section: Human Dignity, Integrity and
Autonomy the EGE-Group brought up a number of
questions, not because they wondered about the
answers, but probably because they were best
presented as questions. “How far can such implants be
a threat to human autonomy, particularly when they are
implanted in our brains?” “How far can such implants
have irreversible impacts in the human body and/or in
the human psyche?” “How will they influence memory?”
“Does a human being cease to be such a being in cases
where some parts of his or her body—particularly the
brain—are substituted and/or supplemented by ICT
implants?
How far can ICT implants give an individual, or a group,
specific capabilities that could become a threat to
society? How far should we be subject to the control
of such devices or by other people using these
devices?”
From this quote, when the EU Commission’s Ethical
Board talks about these implants in our own brains, we
can understand the extensive use of this project. It
has, in fact, throughout the history of mankind it has
never existed anything more totalitarian. There has
never been anything more anti-democratic. A
dictatorship can never be greater than when citizens’
brains are linked to computer control.
The state has become a cannibal, a rapist who is eating
its citizens. Transforming us into biological
manipulated components. But the EU Commission did
not support their recommendation on the need to stop
the ongoing trend of mind control. They instead
accepted the continuation of this project, and, of
course, that day when techno-political development will
create debates in the mass media, it will have serious
consequences.
(48:00) GOD SAVE THE BRAIN (X-ray of a brain)
They ended the document, by urging that this
development must become general knowledge.
Quote: “The Member States and their national ethics
councils have a responsibility to create conditions for
education and constructive, well-informed debates in
this area.” Of course it is good if everybody joins this
challenge. But these councils have now had 6 years to
their inability—no debate has arisen. Not even a single
word has been said yet. But this is, of course, also
everyone’s responsibility. All of us must participate to
ensure that this issue reaches the mass media. This is
one of humanity’s crossroads. One can almost say that
nothing ever happened in the history of mankind. That
this is the very first time that something is occurring.
In other words, before this, we’ve always been our own
biological creations. Sure, we have been indoctrinated
to believe or not in certain things, but we have
nevertheless always had our own biology, mentality and
our own resources intact.
This is an issue, almost completely unknown, but at the
same time, without doubt, humanity’s most important.
And that was exactly what Senator John Glenn said in
his speech in 1997 when he left the Senate.
The Swedish Defense and Research Institution wrote
in its annual report 2011: FOI develops systems with
emphasis on the interaction between people and
technology. The goal is that systems are designed at
human cognitive potential, i.e., the ability to perceive,
understand, and sorting information, can be utilized for
maximum system effect during people’s lifetime . . . .
Everybody must, of course, join this cause!!! The media
has, of course, a responsibility to address this issue!
Of course, all human rights organizations . . .
Greenpeace, Attack, Amnesty . . .And, of course, all
political parties that see people’s well-being as above
state power must participate in order to bring this
subject up for debate, and by that, making change
possible.
I will end these dark visions with some positive
thoughts about this technology. The man who coined
the term Information Society, the Japanese Professor
Yoneji Masuda published his book “The Information
Society” in 1980. In that book he brought up the dark
and the light applications of this technology and he
wrote: “If information systems were to be completely
dominated by despotic state organization, the
information society would the ultimate controlled
society, in which the abuse would by far exceed the
abuse of human rights under dictatorships but if the
people took over the systems, we could live free,
healthy, active, creative lives up to an average of 90 or
more. This technology has as many positive as negative
applications.
Thank you.
To live with freedom or with brain chips. That’s the
questions.
