Is it possible to control the minds of your enemy? It has been tried throughout time and in World War II the Japanese made very effective use of the wartime radio waves trying their psyche war tactics on our troops. In Vietnam the enemy tried the same thing, although the United States has also used C-130 aircraft to deliver radio messages to the enemy in both Gulf War I and Gulf War II. Today both sides employ tactics against their enemys populations in the psyche war campaigns fought in the mass media and event the virtual world of the enemy. But what if psyche war could be more; that is to say what if you really could get into the minds of your enemy soldiers, combatants or even international terrorists? What if you could in fact change you enemies mind or compel them to lose their will to fight or even simply drop their weapons? What if you could get them to fire upon their own troops or become hostile to their commanders? Or if you are a non-violent type what if you could slow down their brain waves and make them want to fall asleep, become drowse or just take a nap? All this is being considered now in the future of psyche wars and indeed it also appears there will soon be devices to deliver these brain waves directly to the enemy, which is miles and miles away? Consider all this in 2006. |
