The video is pretty rubbishy. It starts off mentioning a lawsuit in which, the listener can be expected to infer, multiple plaintiffs alleged implants. Mick has shown that only one of the plaintiffs allege an implant.
There is then a wide-ranging interview with Colin Ross, that never mentions that case that was mentioned before that interview, as far as I recall. Ross mentions, each only briefly, loads of unethical research projects, all of which ended decades ago, but was not able to say anything interesting or informative about any of the individual projects.
There is only one tiny soundbite in the entire video, that bears any relation, and only a weak one, to the "Manchurian Candidate" headline.
Of Ross, there isn't anything illegal with issuing certificates that merely say that somebody has "completed" a certain training, but such certificates are often not worth much either, especially if it's not possible to "complete" the training with a "fail" grade, and hence to be denied a certificate of completion.
Thank you Mick for the interesting news about Ross' attempt to win US $1M by making a sound come from a speaker, by the electomagnetic radiation coming out of his eye. I think Ross is being very clever. He's not claiming that his eye can emit enough energy to power a speaker. All he is proposing to do, as far as I could understand links I only speed-read, is to detect automatically, inside the darkness of conducting, earthed goggles, radiation coming out of the front of his head, where his eyes are. He intends to use biofeedback to train himself to alter his EEG, and to detect those changes in EEG technologically with an aerial or suchlike inside the googles, switching on or off a signal to the speaker. It sounds as though it might be feasible to do this. And if all the detector really detected was any changes in EEG there might be that Ross discovered were associated with opening or shutting his eyes (which might be easier than learning to control one's EEG using biofeedback), rather than voluntary changes in EEG, who would know? More fool the company for agreeing in advance that such a demonstration would be "paranormal". I'd like Ross to get the million bucks. As far as I could tell by speed-reading, he's in with a chance.
To answer an original question of Pete Tar's, removed from his posting when it was moved into a thread of its own, the poor video is more connected with the market that the debunked "Human Protection Software Suite" pandered to than (say) a video about jam-making would be. If I'd been Ross, I wouldn't necessarily have refused to participate, but I wouldn't be especially proud to have participated.
