This is an interesting read.Im not sure where it leads but the ramifications of it all could go either way,help society or control it.

Once you start digging into the Wellcome Trust you discover its huge,mammoth.

One of the things it funds is Wellcome Leap which started out with 300 million and than had its funding doubled. Question is: what do they really do with all this funding?

Below a clip:

Wellcome Leap accelerates discovery and innovation for the benefit of human health. It builds bold, unconventional programs and funds them at scale, with the goal of achieving breakthrough scientific and technological solutions within five to ten years.

With initial funding of $300 million from the Wellcome Trust, Wellcome Leap has launched five programms since 2020 – including a programme that aims to bio-engineer better models of human physiology and one which seeks to improve the diagnosis and treatment of a particular type of depression.

Its global network spans more than 650,000 scientists and engineers from over 70 organizations across six continents. In 2022, following our biggest ever funding commitment to science and health, we're doubling our investment in Wellcome Leap and providing an additional $335 million in funding.

Backed by more than half a billion US dollars, Wellcome Leap will continue to operate independently from Wellcome to encourage speed, agility, and an appetite for risk-taking. theres more:

The non-profit organization is led by former U.S. Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) director, Regina E. Dugan, and former Illumina CEO, Jay Flatlely

Who is Regina Dugan

https://centipedenation.com/analysis-and-reports/prison-planet-facebook-darpa-building-8-china/

Served as the 19th Director of DARPA same time as the LifeLog project (now known as FaceBook).

In 2012, she left government to take an executive role at Google.

In 2015, she attended the Bilderberg conference in Austria discussing Artificial Intelligence.

In 2016, she left Google and joined Facebook to lead a newly formed team called Building 8.

Historical Context On Regina Dugan

Regina Dugan told an audience at the 2013 All Things D11 Conference that her company was working on a microchip inside a pill that users would swallow daily in order obtain the “superpower” of having their entire body act as a biological authentication system for cellphones, cars, doors and other devices.

Some would call Regina a totalitarian transhumanist. This was the person behind Building 8.

Another clip from new link:

In light of the recent Cambridge Analytica data scandal, Facebook is quickly becoming one of the world's least trusted companies. A survey from the Ponemon Institute, a research group focused on data privacy and information security, shows that trust in Facebook has fallen 66 percent to where now only 28 percent of users believe the company is “committed to privacy.”

Although many people are unaware of what goes on behind the scenes at Facebook, social media is not their only business.

As part of an ongoing research and development venture, a project called Building 8 was created to develop technology “in the style of DARPA.” Former DARPA executive Regina Dugan was recruited to head the project as her experience with augmented reality and mental and nervous system manipulation has given her the perfect skill set to make this project a technological success.

DARPA however, has come under scrutiny in the past for developing dangerous weaponized technologies like HELLADS, or High-Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System, commonly known as the “death ray.

” Dugan was also accused of ethics violations by the Department of Defense for offering government contracts to a company she founded called RedXDefense.

Building 8 was created with four projects in mind, all centering around augmented reality and brain-scanning technology. Zuckerberg believes that within the next ten years we will begin to see a stronger link between Facebook and the mind. “You're going to just be able to capture a thought, what you're thinking or feeling in kind of its ideal and perfect form in your head, and be able to share that with the world” – Mark Zuckerberg Ultimately, Facebook intends on creating an entire augmented reality to overlay our day-to-day lives. He believes that with this new technology, common household equipment like TV's will become obsolete.

“In the future, you'll be able to snap your fingers and pull out a photo and make it as big as you want, and with your AR glasses you'll be able to show it to people and they'll be able to see it. As a matter of fact, when we get to this world, a lot of things that we think about as physical objects today, like a TV for displaying an image, will actually just be $1 apps in an AR app store.

So it's going to take a long time to make this work. But this is the vision, and this is what we're trying to get to over the next 10 years.” – Mark Zuckerberg Facebook users need to ask themselves whether or not they want to live in this world of augmented reality.

It's uncertain at this point just how many of our current abilities and freedoms we could lose if this kind of technology took over our lives

Technology consultants to DARPA may claim the secretive Department of Defense only has innovation for the betterment of humanity in mind, but some of their most outlandish projects tell a different story.

How do DARPA’s projects interact with each other and what does this truly mean for us as a civilization? DARPA has hacked into a squid's nervous system in order to force the animal to change its colors. What does this mean for you and me? DARPA is essentially seeing just how far they can take their mind control techniques so that even those of us who have not been overtaken with nano-bots would still be physically submissive.

This same experiment is being carried out on human spies, wherein DARPA’s scientists hack into the peripheral nervous system to override autonomic functioning. Using its Targeted Neuroplasticity Training program, DARPA is attempting to take over the brain's synaptic plasticity, so that it can tap into nerves reaching out to our extremities.

While this may sound ‘cool’ at first blush, imagine the implications if someone were remotely controlling how your limbs function against your will. Ray Kurzweil has already predicted that humans will by hybrid robots by the year 2030. If DARPA has their way, he is probably late in his estimation. DARPA is studying the human fight or flight response.

The Neuroscience of threat response could be used to help bolster soldiers’ bravery who face horrifying conditions in perpetual wars, but DARPA could also be studying how we respond to stress and appropriately flee from it, in order to make us compliant in situations where normally we'd be running as fast as we could in the other direction.

A $300,000 grant over two years was awarded to a researcher from the University of Colorado at Boulder, to use neuroeconomic models to study how the way we move changes when faced with threats. The lead researcher says that people seem to be ‘irrational’ in their movement choices when faced with risky situations, and while some of us have an over-stimulated fight-or-flight response from both real and imagined threats we've experienced in our lives, a government agency determining when we should flee and when to shut down our bodily systems to force us to stay in a dicey situation seems a bit peevish, minimally.

READ: DARPA and the JASON Scientists – The Pentagon's Maladaptive Brain Former DARPA employee, Regina Dugan once said, “We got to do a lot of epic shit when I was at DARPA.”

She's been at Motorola, Google, and most recently Facebook. At Facebook she is charged with making ‘new technologies,’ but while at DARPA she helped to develop electronic tattoos (human branding with barcodes and Mark of the Beast) as well as passwords to computer systems you can swallow.

In the 1993 British movie, Naked, directed by Mike Leigh and starring David Thewlis, the following conversation takes place: “What is the mark? Well the mark Brian, is the barcode. The ubiquitous barcode that you'll find on every bog roll, and every packet of johnny's and every poxie-pot pie. And every [expletive-removed] barcode is divided into two parts by three markers and those three markers are always represented by the number six. Six-six-six. Now what does it say? No one shall be able to buy or sell without that mark. And now what they're planning to do in order to eradicate all credit card fraud and in order to precipitate a totally cashless society.

What they're planning to do; what they've already tested on the American troops; they're going to subcutaneously laser tattoo that mark onto your right hand or onto your forehead.”(Naked, British movie, 1993, directed by Mike Leigh and starring David Thewlis)

There are dozens more unseemly DARPA projects, from real life Avatars to every conceivable manner of robots, and war toys that would make Machiavelli jealous.

Some say DARPA is simply pushing technological boundaries to their very edge, but by piecing together the implications of their projects both singularly, and used cooperatively, another possibility becomes startlingly apparent. hacking into the biology of a squid since it can change colors almost immediately.
