These techno-fascist backstories behind the Facebook and Neuralink corporations are enough to cause concern regarding the companies' trendy new brain-computer interfaces that are currently being marketed. But the disconcerting techno-fascist history of these newly commercialized brain-machine interfaces extends all the way back to the "founding father" of neural-implant technology himself: Jose Manuel Rodrà guez Delgado Jr., whose research at Yale has been guided by the hidden hand of the Nazi-sympathizing secret society known as The Order of Skull and Bones.
In 1946, Delgado was hired as a research fellow at the Yale School of Medicine's Physiology Department where he later became a professor from 1950 to 1974. Shortly after the first year of Delgado's research fellowship, in 1947, the Yale University Council was established "as an advisory body to the President of the University for the purpose of studying and making recommendations on particular facets of University life," including "strategic planning for the sciences, [and] developments at the School of Medicine." A founding member of the Yale Council was Skull-and-Bonesman Frank Davis Ashburn, who served on the council from 1947 to 1954 while Delgado was conducting his neuroscience experiments at Yale [3]. It is worth noting that Bonesman Frank Davis and his father Percy Moreau Ashburn, who was a US Military Academy Professor of Medical Hygiene, co-authored The Ranks of Death: A Medical History of the Conquest of America , which documents how the spread of disease was instrumental to the colonization of the America's by European settlers.
In brief, in 1947, Bonesman Frank Ashburn, who was a scholar of medical history, helped found and operate the Yale Council to oversee "strategic planning for the sciences . . . at the School of Medicine" approximately one year after was Delgado hired at the School of Medicine, in 1946, to pioneer his transhumanist brain-implant surgeries.
As Delgado continued his transhumanist stimoceiver research at Yale from 1954 to 1965, Bonesman Charles Stafford Gage was the Treasurer of Yale University [4]. Hence, Bonesman Gage would have been in charge of the Treasury Department which, according to the Yale website , "is responsible for maintaining the University's operating bank accounts, for monitoring the University's daily cash position, for processing all in-coming and out-going domestic and international wire transfers, [and for] the establishment of petty cash funds." As such, Gage would have overseen the funding of Delgado's electronic brain-implant experiments at Yale.
In sum, during the years of Bonesman Ashburn at the Yale Council (1947-1954) and Bonesman Gage at the Yale Treasury (1954-1965), Delgado's cutting-edge research into neo-eugenic neuro-technologies was administratively and financially guided by the hidden hand of The Order of Skull and Bones.
During his years at Yale, Delgado collaborated with Frank Ervin and Vernon Mark , who wrote the 1970 book, Violence and the Brain. In this book, Delgado's colleagues posited a eugenicist theory that the purported riotous tendencies of inner-city African Americans could be "quelled" by implanting urban blacks with brain-chip stimoceivers and other electronic neuro-technologies. It is worth noting here that Delgado's experiments on electronic "brain stimulation" were sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and the Air Force Aeromedical Research Laboratory of the US military.
As a professor of the Yale School of Medicine, Delgado was assisted by his research partner Hannibal Hamlin, who helped him conduct surgical experiments on mental patients at the State Hospital for Mental Diseases in Howard, Rhode Island, where Delgado and Hamlin implanted electronic devices into the brains of humans in order to study the capabilities of neuro-technological mind control. In Delgado's Physical Control of the Mind, he writes,
[i]n the early 1950s, a patient in a state mental hospital approached Dr. Hannibal Hamlin and me requesting help. . . . The patient expressed a strong desire as well as an ability to alter her conduct, and because psychiatric treatment had failed, she and her mother urgently requested that some kind of brain surgery be performed in order to control her disreputable, impulsive behavior. They asked specifically that electrodes be implanted to orient possible electrocoagulation of a limited cerebral area [5].Hannibal Hamlin, himself a graduate of Yale Medical School, happens to be the father of Charles B. Hamlin, who was inducted into the Yale Order of Skull and Bones in 1961 [6]. Charles B. would take up the mantle of his father Hannibal as Charles became a practicing orthopedic surgeon who opened several "hand clinics" that specialize in hand surgeries, including "nerve . . . repair or reconstruction" surgeries. Carrying the neo-eugenic torch for Jose' Delgado and Hannibal Hamlin, Bonesman Charles B. performed numerous prosthetic-implant surgeries to help patients restore "significant functional loss" of their hands.
Now retired, Charles B. continues to promote other transhumanist medical advancements, such as neuro-engineering through stem cell therapy and gene editing:
[w]e are in an enlarging frontier of vascular and nerve surgery. With the unraveling of the genome, we may well see the manipulation or regenerative growth of damaged cartilage. This will affect not only the diseases we get but our response to them. . . . We might eventually be able to program the environment and orchestrate its response to such problems. I am also excited about the acceptance and advancement of stem cell research to help tissue regenerate. The recently launched Geron project in this country [USA] is beginning trials using embryonic stem cells in the freshly injured spinal cord. This could give us great insight into how we can help the central nervous system heal.
It is worth noting that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) filed a 2008 report which documents that Charles B. committed "serious violations of Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR) Part 812 - Investigational Device Exemptions, Part 50 - Protection of Human Subjects, and Section 520(g) (21 U.S.C. 360j(g)) of the Act." In particular, Charles Hamlin failed to comply with FDA regulations pertaining to ethical standards for performing medical operations involving "a device as that term is defined in section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. 32(h)."
According to section 201(h), such a device is a defined as
an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, including any component, part, or accessory which is- . . .
[i]ntended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals, and which does not achieve its primary intended purposes through chemical action within or on the body of man or other animals and which is not dependent upon being metabolized for the achievement of its primary intended purposes. The term "device" does not include software functions excluded pursuant to section 520(o).
In particular, the FDA report documents that Hamlin's experiments with a 201(h) device committed the following "failures":
"[F]ailure to await FDA approval before allowing subjects to participate in the investigation."
"Failure to ensure that informed consent is obtained . . . and failure to properly document informed consent."
"Failure to conduct the investigation in accordance with the investigational plan."
"Failure to prepare and submit complete, accurate and timely reports of unanticipated adverse effects."
