Morality Can Be Altered

This is for anyone who has ever been skeptical about my assertions regarding HAARP, and who has asked me, "Why would anyone even create a device that can influence people's mind when such a scenario isn't even a possibility?"Allow me to present to you the latest evidence as to why this type of technology would be an extremely powerful weapon in the hands of some pretty evil characters.Did you see this story courtesy of MIT?Moral Judgments Can Be Altered...By Magnets By disrupting brain activity in a particular region, neuroscientists can sway people’s views of moral situations.Anne Trafton, MIT News OfficeMarch 30, 2010To make moral judgments about other people, we often need to infer their intentions — an ability known as “theory of mind.”

For example, if one hunter shoots another while on a hunting trip, we need to know what the shooter was thinking: Was he secretly jealous, or did he mistake his fellow hunter for an animal?MIT neuroscientists have now shown they can influence those judgments by interfering with activity in a specific brain region — a finding that helps reveal how the brain constructs morality.Previous studies have shown that a brain region known as the right temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) is highly active when we think about other people’s intentions, thoughts and beliefs. In the new study, the researchers disrupted activity in the right TPJ by inducing a current in the brain using a magnetic field applied to the scalp. They found that the subjects’ ability to make moral judgments that require an understanding of other people’s intentions — for example, a failed murder attempt — was impaired.

The researchers, led by Rebecca Saxe, MIT assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences, report their findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of March 29. Funding for the research came from The National Center for Research Resources, the MIND Institute, the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, the Simons Foundation and the David and Lucille Packard Foundation.“You think of morality as being a really high-level behavior,” she says. “To be able to apply (a magnetic field) to a specific brain region and change people’s moral judgments is really astonishing. It doesn’t completely reverse people’s moral judgments, it just biases them.”This is why it's absolutely essential to make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior. Their is power in His shed blood and what He did for us once we are saved and put Him front and center in our lives.

The issue of needing to be forgiven for our sins notwithstanding, why would you even take the risk of going through this life on your own when there are so many fringe scientists out there using people like you and me as their guinea pigs to perfect the next generation of weaponry like these types of things?This is also why we must take this command very seriously:2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;I must say that I was shocked to find a science publication (and the scientists quoted in the article) tacitly admitting that there is a moral baseline in this world.It was shocking because a few days earlier, I had read that Neuroscientists don’t believe in souls -- but that doesn’t mean they can’t sell theirs (to the Pentagon).

Needless to say, this particular account was refreshing in that sense.To read about how this one openly accepts a "right" and a "wrong" hints of an underlying predisposition to possibly one day accept Jesus Christ (if they haven't already).So, despite the fact that this is the type of information that leads one to want to keep a closer eye on black ops government projects like HAARP, I look at it and also see God working.
