Some people might find it problematic, but what has any of that to do with optogenetics?

If the nanoparticles gets through the brain by inhalation, the photostimulation of neuronal activity
by light may exert an effect on mood/behavior. Also, I presume that electromagnetic radiation can also heat up the nanoparticles to form plasmonic molecules which may be useful for wireless drug delivery.

Remember that nanoparticles are effective drug delivery carriers and that common wireless devices (iphones) uses high-frequency microwaves for operating. Hence, the next step in nanotechnology may be to remotely control genes using RNA for efficient (molecular) delivery of drugs.

... effect on mood/behavior ... electromagnetic radiation ... [clandestine] drug delivery ... remotely control

You're preoccupied with the idea that chemtrails / GMOs / vaccinations / EM-radation , or combination thereof , is being used to modify human-behaviour.
How could anyone differentiate your viewpoint from those of so-called "Targeted Individuals" ? ...

Quote from: rationalwiki.org
"Targeted Individual" (TI) is an umbrella term coined by paranoid cranks who insist that they are all, individually, on the receiving end of a massive covert harassment conspiracy of highly convoluted malignant intent ... The nature of these alleged "attacks" vary among TIs but can generally be pretty much anything that combines asinine drama with pseudoscientific flummery and/or improbable, coordinated malicious actions, including: microwaves, "psychotronics", secret mind control ...

I try really hard to provide scientific evidences to my views. I believe science has the capacity to identify fake informations from proven scientific facts. Furthermore, there's nothing new in the "targeted individuals" concept, which is based upon a dogmatic website promoting a state-sponsored ideology.

However, geoengineering and nanotechnology are new technologies which may arise from military science and their intrinsic use might explain why cognitive infiltration is being employed to deliberately manipulate independent research.

Therefore, based on your investigation for my work, how could anyone differentiate your views from a COINTELPRO agent ?

Your "COINTELPRO" accusation is just more evidence of your paranoia : according to you, anyone criticizing your opinions must be part of a secret group of dishonest individuals who are conspiring to act against you. Pure-paranoia.

Whether you're a true government official or not is irrelevant. The fact that you consistently attempt to manipulate threads sensitive to my preoccupations is an evidence that your deliberate ignorance is a form of cognitive infiltration.

I would say that main concern is cancer. These materials are so small that it can easily get into your blood, lungs, brain etc. If there would be some causing problems you can have a new asbest. On the other hand, there are some materials that works (as far as we know) in your organism to your benefits.
