DARPA Mind Control Project

Toward Narrative Disruptors and Inductors:
Mapping the Narrative Comprehension Network and its Persuasive Effects

In July of 2013, internet rumors began circulating about a DARPA research project aimed at controlling the human mind.

In an article published by “Activist Post,” it was stated:

Whistleblower Reveals Military Mind Control Project At Major University

What if the government could change people’s moral beliefs or stop political dissent through remote control of people’s brains?

Sounds like science fiction, right? Well, a leaked document reveals that the US government, through DARPA research, is very close to accomplishing this.

Activist Post was recently contacted by an anonymous whistleblower who worked on a secret ongoing mind-control project for DARPA. The aim of the program is to remotely disrupt political dissent and extremism by employing “Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation” (TMS) in tandem with sophisticated propaganda based on this technology. TMS stimulates the temporal lobe of the brain with electromagnetic fields.

The program, conducted by The Center for Strategic Communication, is based at Arizona State University. The DARPA funding for this project can be confirmed on the ASU website here. The head of the project, Steve Corman, has worked extensively in the area of strategic communication as it applies to terrorism and “extremism” – or what could be called “the war of ideas.” Read More

I promptly sent a FOIA request to the OSD/JS and DARPA regarding this project.

The below documents were received:
