thread_title: Meaning of L.O.O.K.E.R.

message: :Image:Looker imp.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Looker imp.jpg

message: In 1981 "LOOKER" was a great SiFi movie, today we have the start of technology to do it for real:
"Emily Isn't Real, But Would You Have Guessed?"
http://gizmodo.com/5039308/emily-isnt-real-but-would-you-have-guessed
"The woman above is not real. I mean, she was real once, when real actress Emily O’Brien provided Image Metrics with 35 facial poses in front of a pair of digital cameras. From there, O’Brien was dismissed so the animators could go to work."
As to L.O.O.K.E.R. itself:
"An entirely new arsenal of weapons, based on devices designed to introduce subliminal messages or to alter the body's psychological and data-processing capabilities, might be used to incapacitate individuals. These weapons aim to control or alter the psyche, or to attack the various sensory and data-processing systems of the human organism. In both cases, the goal is to confuse or destroy the signals that normally keep the body in equilibrium.  This article examines energy-based weapons, psychotronic weapons, and other developments designed to alter the ability of the human body to process stimuli." from "The Mind Has No Firewall" by Timothy L. Thomas; in "Parameters" US Army War College Quarterly Spring 1998, Vol. XXVIII, No. 1, pp. 84-92. http://www.carlisle.army.mil/usawc/Parameters/98Spring/thomas.htm
The first part of the book:
"Controlling the Human Mind : The Technologies of Political Control or Tools for Peak Performance" by Dr. Nick Begich.
 Aug. 2006

(Check the links at the bottom of that page for other LOOKER tech.)
deals with the sinister side of Controlling the Human Mind, with the second part exploring the possibilities that are emerging with new brain and mind enhancing technologies.  This is not a "conspiracy" book, but one that researched the technology
available in public documents such as "The Mind Has No Firewall" cited above.
