Pass the Cognitive Liberty Act: Demand Accountability for Non-Consensual Testing

To: Rep. Bergman, Sen. Peters, Sen. Slotkin

From: A constituent in Beulah, MI

June 25

The right to one's own mind, consciousness, and physical body is the ultimate foundation of human freedom. Any state program, corporate project, or institutional effort that engages in non-consensual experimentation to alter, manipulate, or control an individual's state of mind is a profound violation of fundamental human rights. History has shown that when governments and private entities operate in secrecy, they treat citizens as testing assets rather than human beings. This overreach must be permanently halted, the underlying technologies brought to light, and all responsible parties held accountable on both the national and global stage. Defining the Violation of Consent and Cognitive Liberty: Non-consensual mind alteration is defined as any unauthorized deployment of chemical, biological, psychological, or technological interventions—including neuro-technologies, targeted frequencies, digital algorithms, or behavioral modification systems—designed to intentionally alter a person's cognitive state, produce forced apathy, erase memory, or induce harmful behavior. This applies regardless of whether the manipulation occurs within conscious awareness or via sub-perceptual and subconscious inputs. • The Invalidation of Coerced or Familial Agreements: True consent must be explicit, fully informed, and uncoerced. Any verbal or written agreement signed by an individual, institution, or parent that purports to trade a child's or dependent's bodily and mental integrity for institutional, technological, or financial gain is a severe violation of that individual's civil rights. No guardian or state actor possesses the legitimate authority to sign away another human being's psychological sovereignty. The Civil Rights and Constitutional Basis: These practices violate established national and international legal frameworks protecting human dignity: • The Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments: The U.S. Constitution guarantees security in one's person and protects individual liberty against arbitrary state deprivation. Forced psychological or physiological manipulation represents the ultimate intrusion into personal security. • The Universal Declaration of Human Rights & The Nuremberg Code: International law explicitly states that the voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. No technological advancement, corporate profit, or national security directive can ever justify bypassing this standard. The Demand: I demand that Congress exercise its legislative, budgetary, and oversight authority to enact comprehensive safeguards and pursue global accountability through the following mandates: 1 Mandatory Transparency and Public Disclosure: Order the immediate declassification and public disclosure of any past or present research, technology, or operations involving behavioral modification, neurological targeting, or cognitive manipulation. Any ongoing technological testing must be brought completely into the light of public scrutiny. 2 Prosecution of All Contributing Parties: Establish a specialized federal task force to investigate and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law any official, researcher, corporate entity, or guardian who knowingly contributed to, funded, or authorized non-consensual psychological or technological experimentation. 3 Global Accountability via International Frameworks: Demand that individuals and entities responsible for gross violations of cognitive liberty be referred to international legal bodies, including the International Criminal Court (ICC), for crimes against humanity. Universal human rights transcend unilateral treaties, and the global legal community must not remain silent when human sovereignty is compromised. 4 The Dissolution and Banishing of Abusive Entities: Any organization, agency, or corporate entity found to have prioritized profit or technological gain over human rights by conducting or concealing these programs must be immediately defunded, disbanded, and stripped of its operating charters, with its remaining assets liquidated to provide direct reparations to victims. 5 Codification of Anti-Exploitation Laws: Pass strict new statutory protections making the prioritization of corporate profit over human bodily integrity a major federal offense, ensuring that human beings can never be leveraged for technological or financial capital. 6 Protection of Neurorights, Sub-Perceptual Safeguards, and Whistleblower Indemnity: Legally codify "Neurorights," establishing that an individual's subconscious and conscious mind is an absolute sanctuary. Congress must outlaw any technological application—including predictive brain-mapping and digital profile cloning—that attempts to manipulate human behavior by bypassing conscious awareness. Furthermore, all corporate Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), state secrecy acts, and classification shields are hereby declared null and void for any whistleblower who steps forward to expose non-consensual psychological testing, behavioral engineering, or cognitive data-harvesting operations. Cognitive integrity is an unalienable right. I urge you to stand firmly in defense of human dignity, protect your constituents from unprecedented technological and institutional overreach, and establish clear laws ensuring that our minds and bodies remain entirely our own.
