DMXs new reality show “This Life of Mine”
DMX is coming out with a new reality show that is to be about his family life, his legal challenges and self-rehabilitation.
“In many ways, my life has been an open book,” DMX said in a statement. “But I haven’t always been the one writing the story. With this show, however, people will get to see and hear with their own eyes and ears what really goes on in my life and I think they’ll come to understand me a little bit better with each episode.”
“When we were approached about doing this show, we knew right away that we wanted to be involved. DMX is a complex man and this show will reveal his many sides: the street side and the spiritual side, all rolled up in one,” said Ernie Romero, CEO of After Platinum Entertainment.

Somethin’ To Rap About: Controlling Minds in the Battlefield
The National Research Council and the Defense Intelligence Agency are looking to advance research in Neuroscience related military operations. The essential goals are to increase the psychological and physiological functions of our guys and make the enemy dumber. They would even like to go as far as degrade the enemies overall performance, scan peoples’ minds (so they know who is the enemy) and even controlling their minds.
This all was in a recent release from the NRC that was commissioned by the Defense Intelligence Agency discretely titled “Emerging Cognitive Neuroscience and Related Technologies.” Here is a quote from the report:
“So one question would be, ‘How can we disrupt the enemy’s motivation to fight?’ Other questions raised by controlling the mind: ‘How can we make people trust us more?’ ‘What if we could help the brain to remove fear or pain?’ ‘Is there a way to make the enemy obey our commands?’…As cognitive neuroscience and related technologies become more pervasive, using technology for nefarious purposes becomes easier.”
I hope to God that there is some international, independent oversight in this research.
