The experiment helped to change John-Dylan Haynes's outlook on life. In 2007, Haynes, a neuroscientist at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience in Berlin, put people into a brain scanner in which a display screen flashed a succession of random letters1. He told them to press a button with either their right or left index fingers whenever they felt the urge, and to remember the letter that was showing on the screen when they made the decision. The experiment used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to reveal brain activity in real time as the volunteers chose to use their right or left hands. The results were quite a surprise.... http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/your-details/43008-neuroscience-vs-philosophyThe experiment helped to change John-Dylan Haynes's outlook on life.

ATLANTA — Shocking as it may seem, U.S. government doctors once thought it was fine to experiment on disabled people and prison inmates. Such experiments included giving hepatitis to mental patients in Connecticut, squirting a pandemic flu virus up the noses of prisoners in Maryland, and injecting cancer cells into chronically ill people at a New York hospital.
Much of this horrific history is 40 to 80 years old, but it is the backdrop for a meeting in Washington this week by a presidential bioethics commission. The meeting was triggered by the government's apology last fall for federal doctors infecting prisoners and mental patients in Guatemala with syphilis 65 years ago.
U.S. officials also acknowledged there had been dozens of similar experiments in the United States - studies that often involved making healthy people sick.
An exhaustive review by The Associated Press of medical journal reports and decades-old press clippings found more than 40 such studies. At best, these were a search for lifesaving treatments; at worst, some amounted to curiosity-satisfying experiments that hurt people but provided no useful results.

The eugenics plan of the New World Order is to decrease the population by 80%. As you can see, they don't care who they test, spray, inject or expose. They will vaccinate, sterilize, euthanize and abort any body they want. They're spraying you right now with chemtrails, they're vaccinating your child, they're feeding you poisoned food and water and they're prescribing you pharmacological cocktails that haven't cured a disease since antibiotics.

Student protests, rioting, Psychology of Revolution, Twitter revolutions. . . Rebellion is alive and kicking. But why do only some of us choose to take a stand? So why do some of us choose to rebel? It's a question we haven't had many answers to. Milgram‘s experiments are a classic example of how researchers have concentrated their attention on those who con form — in a documentary about his studies, Milgram even chose not to include footage of anyone rebelling. Those who said no were confined to the cutting-room floor. But new research is putting rebels firmly into the spotlight. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/33546-the-rebel-in-all-of-us-the-psychology-of-revolutionStudent protests, rioting, Psychology of Revolution, Twitter revolutions. . .... more

Over the years we've come to know that when you drop a Mentos into a bottle of Diet Cola you get an eruption, geyser, explosion. How ever you want to put it. The result of those two elements mixed together is amazing.
Its a pretty good experiment but it happens all too fast. As soon as you dump the mentos inside the bottle of diet cola the effects begin to happen, sometimes it doesn't give you enough time to get away to avoid getting soda on your clothes.
What if I told you there's another way besides Ice to stall the effect from happening? Well its possible and you won't have to wait for the mentos to freeze either.
In order to keep the diet coke from erupting as soon as you dump the mentos inside, you'll need to do something to the mentos first.
The following items are needed for this experiment, The price tag is pretty good as you can get all these items for a total of $ 2.50 at your local dollar store.
* Mentos- 1
* Diet Cola-1
* Pack of Mints Strips - about 6
Take out some mint strips and start covering the mentos with them. It helps if you lick them first that way they stick better, the point to this is to to protect the mentos from having contact with with the soda.
The mint strips are pretty thin, they can only offer certain protection. After you drop the mint strip covered mentos into the bottle of diet coke nothing will happen, but over the time span of 2 to 3 minutes the soda will have eaten away the thin mint strips.
The mentos exposure is practically inevitable, but you can certainly prolong it with this method, which is why its called a "DIet Coke and Mentos Time Bomb

Back in April, we looked at an ambitious European plan to simulate the entire planet. The idea is to exploit the huge amounts of data generated by financial markets, health records, social media and climate monitoring to model the planet's climate, societies and economy. The vision is that a system like this can help to understand and predict crises before they occur so that governments can take appropriate measures in advance. There are numerous challenges here. Nobody yet has the computing power necessary for such a task, neither are there models that will can accurately model even much smaller systems. But before any of that is possible, researchers must gather the economic, social and technological data needed to feed this machine http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/free-stuff/15028-the-70-online-databases-that-define-our-planetBack in April, we looked at an ambitious European plan to simulate the entire planet.... more

The experiment on mice is said to be a process into preventing/slowing major health problems in the elderly like heart disease, strokes and dementia, but Gawker had a great shorten version 'eternal life, dun dun dunn'.
By removing the enzyme telomerase in mice the scientists hoped to slow the ageing process, but found they had reversed it when the aged organs were restored.
"n a nutshell, the scientists bred a group of mice without an enzyme called telomerase, which helps prevent protective chromosome "caps" called telomeres from shrinking—a shortening that is closely linked with the degenerative properties of aging. Without telomerase, the mice aged rapidly; but when the enzyme was reactivated in those same mice, it "substantially" restored their bodies—including growing new neurons."-Gawker
However, the articles show doubts over if the experiment would have the same results on human cells, with Gawker saying it would raise the risk of cancer. So guessing we're now going to be over run with immoral mice overlords...omg Douglas Adams was right.The experiment on mice is said to be a process into preventing/slowing major health... more

Russian author Gennady Belimov published an article in which he described experiments led by Vadim Chernobrov, the inventor of a time machine in 1987. Chernobrov claims his machine can slow or speed up the course of time by tinkering with the Earth's magnetic field. His biggest success was the slowing of time for 1.5 seconds. One of the problems remote viewers have is acquiring time lines for future or past events that they examine. For example, a viewer might foresee a major catastrophe like a volcanic eruption, airplane crash or hurricane, but pinning down an exact moment when it will occur is extremely difficult. To deal with this problem, Aaron C. Donahue spent years developing an advanced form of viewing, which he calls the acquisition and practical application of non-historical data. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/your-details/10506-vadim-chernobrovRussian author Gennady Belimov published an article in which he described experiments... more

EDGEWOOD ARSENAL / MKULTRA LAWSUIT MOVES TO NEXT PHASE
Claims it is unconstitutional for the VA to decide VA claims where VA itself participated in the illegal chemical and biological weapons program.
By Larry Scott, VA Watchdog dot Org
————————-
We have been following the Edgewood Arsenal / MKULTRA lawsuit for some time.
Now, the trial is moving to the next phase.
Attorneys have filed a Motion for Leave to File a Third Amended Complaint which contains more information and allegations, and involves more veterans.
The Motion is available here for viewing or download.
The new Complaint is available here for viewing or download.
It is worth reading the entire 79-page complaint. Hollywood could not have dreamed up such a horror story.
In brief, lead attorney Gordon P. Erspamer explains the new motion:
The gist of the new allegations is that:
1. It is unconstitutional for the VA to decide VA claims where VA itself participated in the illegal chemical and biological weapons program by providing toxic substances to the Army, DOD and CIA to try out on military personnel, and conducted its own tests on many of the same substances.
2. The VA has totally botched the notices to participants by failing to even find most of them, leaving out all of them who served before 1954, leaving out survivors who might be eligible for DIC altogether, abandoning any effort to find mustard gas exposed vets, and sending false or misleading information in the notification letters and actively discouraging them from seeking VA medical care or filing claims. Only 2 Chem.-Bio claims have ever been granted by the VA, and 11 mustard gas claims.
The result is that the class of men, estimated by Plaintiffs to number over 20,000, is dying off without even a semblance of justice for the human guinea pigs who were dosed with virulent chemicals such as LSD, BZ, V-gas, sarin, mescaline, DHMP, and hundreds of others, as the Cold war hysteria swelled and subsided.

Over the last year there have been an increasing number of accounts suggesting that, along with the CIA's "enhanced interrogation" torture program, there was a related program experimenting with and researching the application of the torture.
For example, in the seven paragraphs released by a British court summarizing observations by British counterintelligence agents of the treatment of Binyan Mohamed by the CIA, the first two of these paragraphs
these paragraphs stated:
It was reported that a new series of interviews was conducted by the United States authorities prior to 17 May 2002 as part of a new strategy designed by an expert interviewer….
BM had been intentionally subjected to continuous sleep deprivation. The effects of the sleep deprivation were carefully observed. [emphasis added]
The suggestion was that a new strategy was being tested and the results carefully examined. Several detainees have provided similar accounts, expressing their belief that their interrogations were being carefully studied, apparently so that the techniques could be modified based on the results. Such research would violate established laws and ethical rules governing research.
Since Nazi doctors who experimented upon prisoners in the concentration camps were put on trial at Nuremberg, the U.S. and other countries have moved toward a high ethical standard for research on people. All but the most innocuous research requires the informed consent of those studied. Further, all research on people is subject to review by independent research ethics committees, known as Institutional Review Boards or IRBs.
In the U.S., there was a major push toward more stringent research ethics when the existence of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study was publicly revealed in the early 1970s. In that study nearly 400 poor rural African-American men were denied existing treatment for their syphilis, and indeed, were never told they had syphilis by participating doctors. The study by the U.S. Public Health Service was intended to continue until the last of these men died of syphilis. When the study became public the resulting outcry helped cement evolving ethical standards mandating informed consent for any research with even a possibility of causing harm. These rules were codified in what has become known as the Common Rule, which applies to nearly all federally-funded research, including all research by the CIA.
Experiments in Torture
A new report of which I am a coauthor, Experiments in Torture: Evidence of Human Subject Research and Experimentation in the "Enhanced" Interrogation Program, just released by Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) confirms previous suspicions and provides the first strong evidence that the CIA was indeed engaged in illegal and unethical research on detainees in its custody. The report, the result of six months of detailed work, analyzes now-public documents, including the "torture memos" from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel and the CIA's Inspector General Report and the accompanying CIA Office of Medical Services (OMS) guidelines for monitoring of detainees.
The report points to several instances where medical personnel -- physicians and psychologists -- monitored the detailed administration of torture techniques and the effects upon those being abused. The resultant knowledge was then used both as a legal rationale for the use of the techniques and to refine these abusive techniques, allegedly in order to make them safer.
For example, the OMS guidelines contain this note emphasizing how important it is "that every application of the waterboard be thoroughly documented" by medical personnel, and clarifying the nature of this documentation:
"how long each application (and the entire procedure) lasted, how much water was applied (realizing that much splashes off), how exactly the water was applied, if a seal was achieved, if the naso- or oropharynx was filled, what sort of volume was expelled, how long was the break between applications, and how the subject looked between each treatment."
This type of documentation was not part of routine medical care as it was not being done in the interests of the person being waterboarded. Rather, the OMS made clear that this was being done
"[i]n order to best inform future medical judgments and recommendations" [regarding how to torture people.]
The purpose of this systematic monitoring was to modify how these techniques were implemented, that is, to develop generalizable knowledge to be utilized in the future. As Renée Llanusa-Cestero demonstrated in a recent paper on CIA research in the peer-reviewed journal Accountability in Medicine, the medical personnel conducting these observations were primarily present as researchers to observe and monitor, not as treating doctors.
Other examples in the PHR report describe instances in which OMS staff investigated the degree to which severe pain that may meet the legal definition of torture arose from the applications of a specific technique (sleep deprivation) or from combinations of individual techniques. In the combined techniques example, they apparently experimented with different combinations of abusive techniques -- "for example, when an insult slap is simultaneously combined with water dousing or a kneeling stress position, or when wall standing is simultaneously combined with an abdominal slap and water dousing" -- and studied the suffering that each combination created. The Office of Legal Counsel drew upon this research in one of the torture memos to argue that, because they claimed the individual "enhanced techniques" were not harmful, combining these varied techniques also would not cause interrogators to slip over the line allegedly separating legal techniques from illegal "torture."
It is hard not to conclude that the CIA was conducting research upon detainees. These observations and experiments were not conducted for the benefit of the individuals being brutally interrogated but for the purpose of creating generalizable knowledge and thus constituted research subject to the laws and ethical rules regulating research, including the Common Rule.

Coral Castle doesn't look much like a castle, but that hasn't discouraged generations of tourists from wanting to see it. That's because it was built by one man, Ed Leedskalnin, a Latvian immigrant who single-handedly and mysteriously excavated, carved, and erected over 2.2 million pounds of coral rock to build this place, even though he stood only five feet tall and weighed a mere 100 pounds. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/your-details/383-coral-castleCoral Castle doesn't look much like a castle, but that hasn't discouraged... more
