=== Brain-Computer Battles (01:44) ===

[00:00:04]  I'm Leanne McAdoo, and this is an InfoWars News Bulletin.
[00:00:07]  Here at InfoWars, our motto is, there's a war on for your mind.
[00:00:11]  Well, that statement becomes more literal by the day, as the human brain becomes the battleground of the future.
[00:00:17]  The New York Times recently ran a story about brain-computer interfaces inching closer to the mainstream.
[00:00:24]  With a simple wink of an eye, you can take a picture using your Google Glass.
[00:00:28]  A mere thought about a human emotion allows you to sift through Flickr photo albums.
[00:00:32]  You can chase zombies or play Tetris on your iPhone, all by using your mind as the joystick.
[00:00:38]  And for now, attaching some sort of cybernetic device to your head to scan your brainwaves.
[00:00:43]  In the right hands, BIC technology could greatly enhance the quality of life for those who've lost limbs or suffer from paralysis.
[00:00:51]  Brain-related diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's could become obsolete with breakthroughs in brain-computer interface technology.
[00:00:58]  But the altruistic potentiality of BICs is overshadowed by DARPA's involvement with the Mind Mapping Project, hinting at the brain's place in the future of warfare.
[00:01:08]  TechCrunch reported last year that scientists were able to extract personal secrets using brainwave reading devices.
[00:01:16]  Will DARPA figure out how to hack the brain on a larger scale?
[00:01:19]  How easy would it be to take down Assad or other dictators if we could just install some malware?
[00:01:26]  Thanks to the cultural permanence of iPhones, computers, and now Google Glass, it'll be easier than ever to penetrate the human mind, which has no firewall.
[00:01:35]  The youngest generation and their perpetual connectedness are the most susceptible to the shadow government.
[00:01:41]  Visit the InfoWars store and pick up a copy of Cats in Black for a fun way to teach your kids about surveillance.
