the proof is in the fact that these inventions all have patents

I think "proof" is a sticky term for this situation, EYJP, mainly because Rense has taken stuff out of context. You'll note he hasn't provided the link to the patent, or the details about what the patented devise is to be used for. If it really supported his premise, don't you think he'd give you the real goods?

Using transcranial magnetic stimulation can be a powerful way to treat medically resistant major depression -- i.e. bring abnormal brain waves back into a more normal state. I had a good friend -- a child sex abuse victim in fact -- who lost her career in journalism after developing major depression and nothing worked to treat it for six years. She did TMS, and was better in less than six months. But Rense isn't telling you that's what that patent is for.

Same with the patent for stopping auditory hallucinations. I would bet a grand that patent is designed to treat tinnitus -- an auditory hallucination millions of people deal with due to hearing loss every day that works something like phantom limb syndrome. But Rense isn't telling you what it's for . He's dropping it with no context or link, hoping the reader's confirmation bias will make them see in the few words he's provided what HE wants you to see.

I'd say that thread you linked in the other post is pretty good evidence Rense is Fake News/disinfo.

A true research post on this would involve looking at specific patents you think are mind control related, and examining the full patent on each one to weigh whether the patent is evidence minds can be controlled with devices or substances.

Since the main evidence for your thesis is the unsourced Rense material, and he takes a disingenuous approach, I'm going to go ahead and give this the "Possible Disinfo" flair.

The ones you mention are most likely medical devices that are actually in use as medical devices governed by the FDA regulation and would actually work for what they're patented for. I'm talking about any that might not be FDA approved medical devices, but there are rumors out there about mind control devices and my point was that just because someone applied for a patent doesn't mean the product really works like people think it will.

I might be a Scientologist named L Ron Hubbard wanting to patent my E meter, and I get a patent on it, and I tell people it works a certain way to detect thetans when really all it does is lie detection. It can have a real patent, but that doesn't mean my thetans are being found out.

When you file a patent application you make certain claims and you provide your diagrams and so forth, and if it seems useful and there's nothing else out there that is identical, you can get the patent. You have to have some type of improvement or difference, if you're making something similar to someone else's intellectual property. Basically I'm saying patents do not equal "the product works the way it's advertised."

If you see the quora article I posted a couple of lawyers explained why patents don't always mean that the product works. I'm not a lawyer yet but that was my basic point in posting this.

Thank you for the clarification. One good habit for making posts clear and readable is to write a sentence for each link that says why you're including it in the post, just like you did in this clarification: "the quora article I posted a couple of lawyers explained why patents don't always mean that the product works."

I sent you a message. The point of this post was to point out that Rense might be disinformation. Could you remove the flair so that people don't think I'm deliberately posting disinformation? Maybe put it on the old post from before I thought harder about it.

Vindicator

I've removed the flair. Thank you for clarifying. :-)

According to nolo.com, utility patents (as opposed to [nonfunctional] design or plant patents) must "have some usefulness (utility), no matter how trivial."

...

"To fulfill this requirement, the invention must work, at least in theory. Thus, a new approach to manufacturing superconducting materials may qualify for a patent if it has a sound theoretical basis, even if it hasn't yet been shown to work in practice."

Boy if that doesn't sound like a runaround. Perfect for Big Pharma. Possibly they are working on this MK project right now or already have done so. Or it's all a fabrication as the OP says.

There are all kinds of products not under the FDA's jurisdiction that do have patents. Sometimes things you would think should be a medical device aren't, so they can be designed by whomever, and get a patent, and it would be similar to a supplement maker selling something that falls outside of the FDA, it cannot be regulated. The efficacy may come into question from anyone curious enough to question it. But the real litigation would be from competitors using similar designs and getting patents and having the patent challenged under intellectual property laws.

They also have been allowed to create medicines without the proper seal of approval. So all kinds of things are out here. Who knows what.
