1942-1947
From Cybernetics
by Norbert Weiner, Weiner is the originator of cybernetics. New
York Tmes wrote this comment about the book. "One of the most
influential books of the twentieth century... Cybernetics was
judged by twenty-seven historians, economists, educators, and
philosophers to be one of those books published during the "past
four decades," which "most significantly altered the direction
of our society..."
A quote from
this book, "This existence of sharp frequencies in brain waves
and the theories which I gave to explain how they are originated,
what they can do, and what medical use may be made of them represent
in my mind an important and new breakthrough in physiology. Similar
ideas can be used in many other places in physiology and can make
a real contribution to the study of the fundamentals of life phenomena."
The book
further states: "The neclkeus of our meetings has been the group
that had assembled in Princeton in 1944, but Drs. McCulloch and
Fremont-Smith have rightly seen the psychological and sociological
implications of the subject and have co-opted into the group a
number of leading psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists.
The need of including psychologists had indeed been obvious from
the beginning. He who studies the nervous system cannot forget
the mind, and he who studies the mind cannot forget the nervous
system.
Weiner also
writes, "I had known for a considerable time that if a national
emergency should come, my function in it would be determined largely
by two things: my close contact with the program of computing
machines developed by Dr. Vannevar Bush, and my own joint work
with Dr. Yuk Wing Lee on the design of electric networks.
And finally,
"Dr. Rosenblueth at a meeting held in New York in 1942, under
the auspices of the Josiah Macy Foundation, and devoted to problems
of central inhibition in the nervous system. Among those present
at that meeting was Dr. Warren McCulloch of the Medical School
of the University of Illinois, who had already been in touch with
Dr. Rosenblueth and myself, and who was interested in the study
of the organization of the cortex of the brain.
In Dr. Becker's
book Crosscurrents, 1990, Jeremy P. Tarcher, Inc.,p220 he writes
about Dr. Weiner, "As a result of these comments(fluctuations
of magnetic fields of the earth may cause undesirable behavioral
changes), I was contacted by Dr. James Hamer of Northrop Space
Laboratories, who informed me that his group was already involved
in this area. He also noted that Dr. Norbert Weiner of MIT, the
originator of cybernetics, had been interested in the same subject.
Weiner had been involved in a German experiment in which human
volunteers were unknowingly exposed to a low-intensity, 10-Hz
electrical field. The subjects reported feelings of unease and
anxiety when the fields were turned on. Both Hamer and Weiner
were working under the assumption the ELF internal rhythms in
the brain were determinants of behavior, and that pulsing external
fields could "drive" these internal rhythms, thereby altering
behavior."

From Time,"
Lost Prisoners of War: "Sold Down the River"? September 30, 1996
p45, House National Security Subcommittee hear about newly declassified
intelligence reports and other documents and testimony of U.S.
Army Colonel Philip Corso and Major General in the Czech army,
Jan Sejna. "There were few doubters"... about the fact that POWs
were used as guinea pigs in experiments. "Sejna testified that
the Czechs, on orders from Moscow, built a military hospital in
North Korea during the war. The "secret purpose of the hospital,"
he said, "was to experiment on American and South Korean POWS."
Prisoners were used to test the effects of "chemical- and biological-warfare
agents," atomic radiation and "various mind-control drugs."
1950
From International
Defense Review, Vol 23; No.8, "Biological Weapons; How big a threat?"
by Dr. T White and Dr. K. White, August 1,1990. p843. "The shock
of seeing American prisoners of war denounce their country after
they had been brain-washed by their North-Korean and Chinese captors
prompted the CIA to launch its now infamous 'MK-Ultra' project.
The aim of this research was to discover the techniques and 'mind-control'
drugs being used by the Chinese to subvert their American prisoners.
In the course of the ICA-funded investigation, American and Canadian
citizens were used as guinea pigs in experiments that have been
compared with the German medical experiments in the 'death camps'."
1952
From The
Puzzle Palace, James Bamford, 1982, Penquin, p15. November 4,
1952. The NSA, a new federal agency came into existence. "No news
coverage, no congressional debate, no press announcement, not
even the whisper of a rumor. Nor could any mention of the new
organization be found in the Government Organization Manuel or
the Federal Register or the Congressional Record. Equally invisible
were the new agency's director, its numerous buildings, and its
ten thousand employees."
1953
From Electromagnetism
and Life, Dr. R.O. Becker, p.227. "The possibility that the Soviet
Union might be ahead of the USA in EM weapon systems has persisted
at least since the discovery of the irradiation of the US Moscow
Embassy in 1953." And in the Washington Times, Nov 15, 1992, "The
Russian Government is continuing to bombard the U.S. Embassy in
Moscow with microwave radiation, according to U.S. officials."
The pulsed "emanations originate from a residential building across
the street that is believed to be staffed by Russian security
officials." In 1976, the Globe reported that Ambassador Walter
Stoessel "developed a rare blood disease similar to leukemia and
was suffering headaches and was suffering bleeding from the eyes.
Two of his irradiated predecessors, Ambassador Charles Bohlen
and Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson, died of cancers."
And further,
from The Zapping of America, by Paul Brodeur, W.W. Norton and
Co., 1977. The investigation of this "moscow signal" was call
Project Pandora and "information about it was parceled out on
a strict "need to know" basis..." "In addition, the Advanced Research
Projects Agency (ARPA)-a highly secret organization within the
Department of Defense, which was engaged in developing a wide
variety of electromagnetic weaponry, including electronic sensors
and other devices that were designed to detect enemy movement
on the Ho Chi Minh Trail and elsewhere in Vietnam-set up a special
laboratory at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, in Washington,
DC where, over a number of years, experiments were conducted in
which rhesus monkeys were irradiated with microwaves at power
densities and frequencies similar to those of the Moscow Signal."
(Mr. Brodeur published part of his book in The New Yorker.)
1953
From Washington
Post, Aug7 1977, "Psychic Spying? The article discussed Dr. Andrija
Puharich. "His connections with the military/ intelligence communities
go back to the eary 1950s when he worked in the Army's Chemical
and Biological Warfare Center at Ft. Detrick, Md., site of the
CIA's now famous shellfish toxin repository. He presented a paper
entitled "On the Possible usefulness of Extrasensory Perception
in Psychological Warfare to a Pentagon conference in 1952 and
later lectured the Army, Air Force and Navy on other possibilities
for mind warfare. Expert in hypnotism as well as microelectronics,
Puharich also invented a miniature tooth radio, reportedly for
the CIA."
1970
From The
Mind Manipulators, Alan W. Scheflin,1978, Paddington Press, Ltd.
p 348, On tracking humans such as prisoners, he writes, "During
the Nixon administration, the United States government was sufficiently
intrigued by the possibilities of tracking (both with and without
ESB,(Electronic Stimulation of the Brain)) to commission a report
on the state of the art and the pertinent law. It chose as its
reviewer Ralph K Schwitzgebel, the leading experimenter on tracking,
then a researcher at Harvard University. He reported that tracking
was close to being practical and effective, and that is was legally
acceptable."
1972
From Psychic
Warfare, Martin Ebon, 1983, McGraw Hill, p12. A (1972) report
by Defense Intelligence Agency stated, "the major impetus behind
the Soviet drive to harness the possible capabilities of telepathic
communications, telekinetics and bionics is said to come from
the Soviet military and the KGB."
1974
From The
Body Electric, Dr. R. O Becker, p321 The following research plan
was released under the Freedom of Information Act. "The experimenter,
J.F. Schapitz, stated: "In this investigation it will be shown
that the spoken word of the hypnotist may also be conveyed by
modulated electromagnetic energy directly into the subconscious
parts of the human brain-i.e., without employing any technical
devices for receiving or transcoding the messages and without
the person exposed to such influence having a chance to control
the information input consciously." As a preliminary test of the
general concept, Schapitz proposed recording the brain waves induced
by specific drugs, then modulating them onto a microwave beam
and feeding them back into an undrugged person's brain to see
if the same state of consciousness could be produced by the beam
alone."
"...The
second experiment was to be the implanting of hypnotic suggestions
for simple acts, like leaving the lab to buy some particular item,
which were to be triggered by a suggested time, spoken word, or
sight. Subjects were to be interviewed later. "It may be expected,"
Schapitz wrote, "that they rationalize their behavior and consider
it to be undertaken out of their own free will."
And in Lobster
Magazine an article by Martin Cannon states: "Schapitz' work was
funded by the Department of Defense. Despite FOIA requests, the
results have never been revealed." Further, "His (Schapitz') instincts
on this latter point (rationalizing their behavior) coalesce perfectly
with findings of professional
hypnotists.66
In the same article in footnote 66, "See Bowart p 218 (Operation
Mind Control) for an interesting example. This rationalization
process at work in the case of Sirhan Sirhan, who was convicted
of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. In prison, Sirhan was
hypnotized by Dr. Bernard Diamond, who instructed Sirhan to climb
the bars of his cage like a monkey. He did so. After the trance
was removed, Sirhan was shown tapes of his actions. He insisted
that he 'acted like a monkey' of his own free will-he claimed
he wanted the exercise!"
1975
From Crosscurrents,
Dr. R.O. Becker, 1990,p224, "Since the mid-1970s, (Jose) Delgado
has been director of the premier Spanish neurophysiological laboratory,
Centro Ramon y Cajal. His interest has shifted from direct electrical
stimulation of the brain to the broader area of the biological
effects of electromagnetic fields. He has studied the influence
of specific frequencies of magnetic fields on the behavior and
emotions of monkeys, without using any implanted electrodes or
radio receivers. While Delgado did not publish any of this work
in the scientific journals, its existence leaked out."
1976
From The
Zapping of America, Paul Brodeur, 1977, p 300-301. "A report published
in the New York Times on October 30, 1976, revealed that in recent
months a mysterious broadband, short-wave radio signal had been
broadcast intermittently from the Soviet Union. The signal was
so powerful that it disrupted radio and telecommunications throughout
the world." "Dr. Zaret is concerned about the Russian signal,
..because of its potential hazard to human beings. ..it was very
clear that such an encoding impressed onto carrier wavelengths
could have a central-nervous- system effect."
From Body
Electric, Becker 1985, p323. Complaints from the UN International
Telecommunications Union have not stopped the signal. The signal
now has holes and skips crucial, (emergency frequencies for aircraft,
etc.) frequencies as it moves up and down the spectrum.
From NBC
Magazine with David Brinkley, July 16, 1981, p3. David Brinkley
states: "As I say I find it hard to believe, it is crazy and none
of us here knows what to make of it: the Russian Government is
known to be trying to change human behavior by external electronic
influences. We do know that much. And we know that some kind of
Russian transmitter is bombarding this country with extreme low
frequency radiowaves."
From p13-14,
the article further states. "This man's name is William Bise.
...for the past four years he has traveled the Pacific Northwest
monitoring strange radio signals." Garreck Utley asks "To what
extent can you disrupt the mental process, the brain through the
use of electronic fields, microwaves? Bise replies, "Will I would
think that the easiest way to do it would be microwaves." Garreck
Utley stated, "Bise has limited equipment but other sources, some
of them classified, have traced the signals to transmitters in
the Soviet Union. Those sources will not discuss their work. Bise
will."
1976
From Planetary
Association for Clean Energy, July 1979, Newsletter by Dr. Andrew
Michrowski, "USSR ELF (extremely low frequency) Emissions." "At
least five USSR installations are operating simultaneously up
to 24 hours daily since July 1976, with an intensity of up to
40 million watts. The installations appear to liase with the highly
magnetic MHD apparatus located at Semipalatinsk" Non-Hertzian,
resonant effects are produced. Because of this, their mathematical
description is non-linear and based on the physics concepts of
solitonfields that demonstrate prolonged states of existence."
There are psychophysical, and physical effects. The signals have
the unique capacity to penetrate buildings and living tissues.
Magnetic intensity (at 500 microgauss) for such frequencies have
been monitored.
This and
other evidence suggests that the Soviet Woodpecker signal "entrain
and capture the brains of the biosystems by placing them in forced
sympathetic resonance."
This also
corresponds with research of Dr. Ross Adey, of University of California's
Brain Research Institute who conducted research on emf and brainwaves
and confirmed that brainwaves could be entrained to externally
generated signals. His work was funded by the U.S. Navy.(The Zapping
of America, Brodeur,p84 and Body electric, Becker, p319)
1976
From Mind
Wars by Ron McRae,1984, St. Martin's Press. McRae worked with
Jack Anderson. The book states, "In 1976, the CIA contracted for
an exhaustive review of Soviet parapsychology research by outside
experts," The report was titled, "Novel Biological Information
Transfer Systems" by Dr. J.W. Eerkens, et al and Dr. Eerkens "now
believes 'the Soviets are actually building prototype equipment
for psychic warfare'.
1977
From Zapping
of America,1977, Paul Brodeur,p298. An article in the New York
Times, July 20, 1977 stated, "CIA documents revealed that the
agency had conducted a fourteen-year program to control human
behavior with drugs, electric shock, radiation, and ultrasonics."
1977
From Psychic
Warfare by Martin Ebon,1983, McGraw-Hill, p116-117. "Public evidence
for an attempt at influencing U.S. officials during a visit abroad
was presented by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb on September 21, 1977, during
testimony before a Senate sub-committee. Dr. Gottlieb, then retired,
had been the CIA's director of mind-control experiments." "He
told the committee that...several members of President Nixon's
staff had shown 'inappropriate' behavior." Including "crying without
provocation."
"In
other parts of his testimony, Gottlieb did include the President
himself among those who seemed to be affected by some type of
unusual influence. Gottlieb stated, "Not too long ago, in connection
with a presidential visit to a potentially hostile country, the
President, when he came back, described some unusual feeling he
and others had and asked if I would be able to give counsel."
"(President Nixon visited a 'potentially hostile' country the
Soviet Union in 1972.)"
1977
From audiotape
by Dr. Andrija Puharich at an Electromagnetic Conference, September
1987. "We were able to develop a hearing device that fit under
the cap of a tooth and we could hear very clearly from a small
little relay and receiver and transmitter and unfortunately it
was promptly classified by an agency of our government. But we
did solve the problem in terms of hardware. "About ten years ago
in 1976, no I'm sorry early 1977 I made the basic measurements
which showed the elf nature of elf coming from Russia and that
it was psychoactive, that was my finding and I deduced the chemicals
that were released by the frequencies that were being used and
I passed that information onto every intelligence agency we have
in this country from the president on down and England and Canada
and all I got was four years of harassment. My house was burned
down, I was shot at, they tried to kill me, they tried to eliminate
me, etc., etc., and finally they agreed I was right and in 1981,
the U.S. government went into full scale elf warfare and set up
all their big transmitters down under in Australia and Africa
so on and so on and now their in business and everything's classified
and you can't say a god damned thing about it, a tough situation.
And you can't get any real information out of any government agency.
And I know all of them that do the work. I know the people who
head the projects etc. When they're in trouble, they usually come
ask me. And they classify what I tell them. Insanity."
1978
From Planetary
Association For Clean Energy, 1978, Dr. Andrew Michrowski. "Potentially,
almost anything could be inserted into the target brain mind systems,
and such insertions would be processed by the biosystems as internally-generated
data/effects. Words, phrases, images, sensations, and emotions
could be directly inserted and experienced in the biological targets
as internal states, codes, emotions thoughts and ideas," This
conclusion developed in part out of research by the Russian scientist,
Litisitsyn's 1968 US Defense Documentation Center paper. Retired
Col Tom Bearden commented on the paper which reported the Soviets
"worked out 23 EEG band-wave lengths, 11 of which were totally
independent."
1979
From US Psychotronics
Association. Conference 1979 Dr. Beck then read excerpts of a
scientific research paper co-authored by Dr. MA Persinger of Laurentian
University, Canada, an expert on elf radiation. "Human subjects
exposed to certain ELF field patterns report sensations of uneasiness,
depression, forboding..." Dr. Beck, a physicist who measured the
Soviet Woodpecker signal stated, we found the Soviet signal coming
in like gangbusters.. ...right in the window of human psychoactivity"
1980
From Military
Review (official publication of the U.S. Army Command and General
Staff College) article on "The New Mental Battlefield" Lt. Col.
John B. Alexander, U.S. Army, Ph.D.. "(Soviet) mind-altering techniques,
designed to impact on an opponent are well-advanced. The procedures
employed include manipulation of human behavior through the use
of psychological weapons effecting sight, sound, smell, temperature,
electromagnetic energy, or sensory deprivation." He further stated,
"Soviet researchers, studying controlled behavior, have also examined
the effects of electromagnetic radiation on humans and have applied
these techniques against the U.S. Embassy in Moscow."
Also, "Researchers
suggest that certain low-frequency (ELF) emissions possess psychoactive
characteristics. These transmissions can be used to induce depression
or irritability in a target population. The application of large-scale
ELF behavior modification could have horrendous impact."
1982
From The
Weekend Guardian, "Field of Nightmares", Peter Kennard, Feb. 2-3
1991. "In 1982 a US Air Force Review of Biotechnology stated:
Radiofrequeny radiation (RFR) fields may pose powerful and revolutionary
anti-personnel military threats...RFR experiments and the increasing
understanding of the brain as an electrically-mediated organ suggests
the serious probability that impressed electromagnetic fields
can be disruptive to purposeful behavior and may be capable of
directing and or interrogating such behaviour. Further, the passage
of approximately 100 milliamperes through the myocardium can lead
to cardiac standstill and death, again pointing to speed-of light
weapons effect. A rapidly scanning RFR system could provide an
effective stun or kill capability over a large area."
The article
further states, "There is little doubt that crowd control devices
using Radio Frequency Radiation do exist. The development of such
devices would complement Sonic and infra-red weapons, which are
well known, and were advertised in the British Defense Equipment
Catalogue until 1983. These included the Vaikyrie, an infra-red
device causing night blindness and the Squawk Box or Sound Curdler,
developed by the US for use in Viet Nam. The Squawk Box was designed
to induce feelings of giddiness and nausea in the victim, and
is highly directional, so that as individuals are hit by the invisible
effect, distress and confusion is spread amongst a crowd." "..In
1984 the Ministry of Defense ordered that all advertisements and
references to 'frequency weapons', be cut from the Defense Catalogue."
1985
From The
Body Electric, by R.O. Becker,1985, p 323-4. The Russian Woodpecker
signals are transmitted at frequencies "between 3.26 and 17.54
megahertz" and sounds like a woodpecker or buzz saw. It is pulse
modulated at a rate of several times a second, "in the extreme
low frequency (ELF) range." The Woodpecker acts as an over-the
horizon radar. "The signal is maintained at enormous expense from
a current total of seven stationsthe seven most powerful
radio transmitters in the world."
1986
From The
Boston Globe, July 7, 1989. Larry Collins, author of a fiction
book about mind control. "Collins research on the theories of
the paranormal and brain and behavior modification is impressive.
...He began his writing career as a correspondent for UPI and
Newsweek." He interviewed William Casey, CIA director and asked
"Could we influence human emotions and behavior; are or were such
experiments now going on?" "This is not a subject we're going
to discuss with you or anyone else," he quoted Casey as saying.
"Casey's pro forma response was enough for Collins. "I knew I
was on the right track."
1987
From The
Nation, "Zapped? radiation at Greenham Common peace camp", editorial
by Louis Slesin, p313. Nuclear protesters against the placement
of cruise missiles at the USAF base in southern England claim
that they were harassed with non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation
in order to get them to stop protesting. In support of their claim,
the author, editor of the publication Microwave News, stated,
"In The Search for the Manchurian Candidate, published in 1979,
John Marks relates that in response to a Freedom of Information
Act request, the CIA told him that it had a roomful of files on
electromagnetic and related techniques to alter behavior and stimulate
the brain. The agency refused to release the papers, and they
remain classified." The protesters described agonizing headaches
and unexplained anxiety among other symptoms.
1988
From U.S.
News and World Report, U.S. News Investigative Report, Jan 24,
1994, p 34. "The analogy to brainwashing was obvious to the CIA
which provided a $60,000 grant through the Human-Ecology Society.
Nine of Cameron's former patients, who had sought treatment for
depression, alcoholism and other problems at the Allen Memorial
Institute at McGill University,(in Canada) where Cameron was director,
filed lawsuit against the CIA in 1979. One patient, Rita Zimmerman,
was 'depatterned' with 30 electroshock sessions followed by 56
days of drug-induced sleep. It left her incontinent; other suffered
permanent brain damage, lost their jobs or otherwise deteriorated.
The case, Orlikow v U.S. was settled in 1988 for $750,000."
1990
From The
Washington Times, "Mills mixes mind control matters," by Harvey
Hagman, October 12, 1990, pE1 James Mills wrote The Power, a fictional
account of psychic weapons. "The former UPI reporter and associate
editor of Life magazine says he spent 3 ½ years researching and
writing The Power including ferreting out Defense Intelligence
Agency documents and traveling to France and the Soviet Union.
...So does Mr. Mills really believe 'spiritual warfare' is being
waged? "Absolutely," he says. and so do the Pentagon and the Kremlin.
...There are documented cases of suspected KGB paranormal attacks
against Nixon and Carter."
Excerpt from
Larry King Live September 12, 1990, Transcript 127.
James Mills,
author of The Power. "It is based on alot of research. I have
three Defense Intelligence Agency studies that are in large measure
an assessment of the Soviet threat in this area. They say that
there is a possibility that Soviet advances in psychic weaponry
would enable them to, and there are direct quotes, 'mold the thoughts
at a distance of key military and civilian leaders, cause the
death at a distance of key military and civilian leaders, cause
the death at a distance of key military and civilian leaders,
know the contents of top secret documents, troop movements, locations
of military installations.' This report was produced in 1975 so
this is what they were worried about then and it makes you wonder
where we have come since then."
Mr. Mills
states further, "I know for a fact that the Soviet Union had a
mind control device that they said had military applications.
They said it was valuable for reducing what they call neural tension
in combat troops and which could certainly be used to reduce the
aggressiveness and energy of our troops. I know that, because
I've seen the machine. ...The one I've seen is a very, very old
one. ...It came over from the Soviet Union in the mid-1970s to
an American government research lab on the west coast. ...It used
heat, sound, and light radiation, and very high frequency electromagnetic
radiation to affect the central nervous system and affect mental
processes."
1990
From The
Atlantic, "The Zap Gap", March 1987, Chuck de Caro, p 24-28. "Soviet
Military Power, Department of Defense, "Recent Soviet developments
in radio frequency generation devices could enable them to build
weapons to degrade or destroy electronics or cause disorientation
of personnel. They have generated single pulses with peak power
exceeding one gigawatt and repetitive pulses over 100 megawatts."
The article also states, "If, going further, an RF pulse could
be propagated over a wide zone, in roughly the same way that radio
signals can blanket a city, it might act as an electronic wall,
disabling the silicon brains of any approaching airplane, tank,
or missile."
1990
From Crosscurrents,1990,
Dr. Becker, p304. "I have made no attempt here to review in any
detail the relationship between military considerations and the
hazards of man-made electromagnetic fields. This complex and dangerous
situation lies outside the scope of this book, except for an indication
of how the political policies derived from it have effectively
hampered the public recognition of the hazards. In my opinion,
the military establishment still believes that the survival of
the military organism is worth the sacrifice of the lives and
health of large segments of the American population."

From Time,
July 30, 1990, Technology,p53, "Hidden Hazards of the Airwaves,
An obscure newsletter uncovers the perils of the information age".
"In the current issue of Microwave News, Slesin has printed what
may be his greatest scoop: the key paragraph of a two-year Environmental
Protection Agency Study recommending that so-called extremely
low-frequency fields be classified as 'probable human carcinogens'
alongside such notorious chemical toxins as PCBs, formaldehyde
and dioxin.' The recommendation, which could have set off a costly
chain of regulatory actions, was deleted from the final draft
after review by the White House Office of Policy Development.
"The EPA thing is a stunner," says Paul Brodeur, a writer for
the New Yorker.
"It's a clear
case of suppression and politicization of a major health issue
by the White House."
The article
states further, "Louis Slesin's stories have a tendency to shock.
Like the one about the 23 workers of the Bath Iron Works in Bath,
Me, who got 'sunburns' one rainy day when someone on a Navy frigate
flicked on the ship's radar. Or the trash fires that start spontaneously
from time to time near the radio and TV broadcast antennas in
downtown Honolulu. Or the pristine suburb of Vernon, NJ., that
has both one of the world's highest concentrations of satellite
transmitting stations and a 'persistent' and unexplained-cluster
of Down's syndrome cases."

This article is an excerpt from a research project by the authors
et al. It states, "Currently, the best method of accomplishing
this is to have developers of nonlethal weapons (agencies such
as the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), military laboratories,
and national laboratories) visit the operational commands. We
need to stress how these weapons will be force multipliers and
..."
The article
further states, "In 1993, for example, ARPA provided grant money
to regional business alliances. Comprised of civilian-sector businesses
and government organizations, these alliances competed for grants
to develop new technologies... The scope of this program could
be expanded to include nonlethal technology..." And also, "Although
the United States may choose not to pursue mind-altering drugs
as a weapon, other states may hold a different view. For that
reason, it is imperative that we understand this capability."
The article
concludes "We maintain that future conflicts will demand the use
of nonlethal warfare and that aerospace platforms can provide
an effective method for the employment of nonlethal weapons. ...Our
research for this article was an eye-opening experience for us."

Electronics, July 1993, "DOD, Intel Agencies Look at Russian Mind
Control Technology, Claims FBI Considered Testing on Koresh."
by Mark Tapscott. "In a series of closed meetings beginning March
17 in suburban Northern Virginia with Dr. Igor Smirnov of the
Moscow Medical Academy, FBI officials were briefed on the Russian's
decade-long research on a computerized acoustic device allegedly
capable of implanting thoughts in a person's mind without that
person being aware of the source of the thought."

From Defense
News, Jan 11-17, 1993, "U.S. Explores Russian Mind-Control Technology"
by Barbara Opall, p29. "The Russian authors note that "World opinion
is not ready for dealing appropriately with the problems coming
from the possibility of direct access to the human mind." And
further, "The Russian experts, including George Kotov, a former
KGB general now serving in a senior government ministry post,
present in their report a list of software and hardware associated
with their psycho-correction program that could be procured for
as little as $80,000."
1994
From The
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Sept, Oct 1994, "The Soft Kill
Fallacy", Steve Aftergood with Barbara Hatch Rosenberg, p45. "Many
of the non-lethal weapons under consideration utilize infrasound
or electromagnetic energy (including lasers, microwave or radio-frequency
radiation or visible light pulsed at brain-wave frequency) for
their effects. These weapons are said to cause temporary or permanent
blinding, interference with mental processes, modification of
behavior and emotional response, seizures, severe pain, dizziness,
nausea and diarrhea, or disruption of internal organ functions
in various other ways."
The article
further states, "In addition, under the Certain Conventional Weapons
Convention, international discussions are now under way that may
lead to the development of specific new protocols covering electromagnetic
weapons; a report is expected sometime next year."
1995
From The
Guardian "The Future Art of War", May 25, 1995. Nic Lewer, peace
researcher at the University of Bradford, in the latest issue
of Medicine and War, lists "more than 30 different lines of research
into 'new age weapons'..." the article further states, "Some of
the research sounds even less rational. There are, according to
Lewer, plans for 'pulsed microwave beams' to destroy enemy electronics,
and separate plans for very-low-frequency sound beams to induce
vomiting, bowel spasm, epileptic seizures and also crumble masonry."
Further the
article states, "There are plans for 'mind control' with the use
of 'psycho-correction messages' transmitted by subliminal audio
and visual stimuli. There is also a plan for 'psychotronic weapons'
- apparently the projection of consciousness to other locations-
and another to use holographic projection to disseminate propaganda
and misinformation."
1995
From Free
Thinking, Vol. 1. Number 4, March 1995, "President's Committee
on Radiation Hears Mind Control Survivor's Testimony". "For the
first time in history officials heard evidence of the atrocities
of mind control which were committed along with the radiation
"research". Ms. Wolf is among a number of independent researchers
around the world who have come up with identical cases in which
survivors of radiation treatment describe life-long mind control
abuses at the hands of the U.S. government."
"While
the radiation "research" was conducted under the direction of
the Atomic Energy Commission, many of the same scientists who
were involved in the CIA's MKULTRA program acted as overseers
of the radiation experiments. Among these scientists were Dr.
Martin T. Orne, Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, and Dr. L. Wilson Green."
Also, "A licensed sociologist from New Orleans, Wolf offered her
testimony and supporting evidence to the committee in a hearing
on March 15th. Focusing on the 9,000 children who were targets
of radiation experiments conducted by the Atomic Energy Commission
and kept secret under the National Security Act, the precious
ten minutes granted Ms. Wolf was a precedent setting digression
from the investigators' agenda."
1996
From Nexus
Magazine, "Soul Catcher Implants", Oct/Nov 1996. "British scientists
are developing a concept for a computer chip which, when implanted
into the skull behind the eye, will be able to record a person's
every life time thought and sensation. "This is the end of death,"
said Dr. Chris Winter of British Telecom's artificial-life team.
He predicts that within thirty years it will be possible to relive
other people's lives by playing back their experiences on a computer."
The article
further states, "By combining this information with a record of
a person's genes, we could recreate a person physically, emotionally
and spiritually." Dr. Winter and his team of scientists at BT's
Martlesham Heath Laboratories, near Ipswich, call the chip "the
Soul Catcher." The author, David Guyatt states that, "British
Telecom, Britain's giant telecommunications enterprise, has a
long history of involvement with the intelligence services." This
article quotes it sources as, "The Daily (London) Telegraph, July
18, 1996.
1996
From USAF
Scientific Advisory Board, New World Vistas Air and Space Power
for the 21st Century, Ancillary Volume, p89. "Prior to the mid-21st
century, there will be a virtual explosion of knowledge in the
field of neuroscience. We will have achieved a clear understanding
of how the human brain works, how it really controls the various
functions of the body, and how it can be manipulated (both positively
and negatively). One can envision the development of electromagnetic
energy sources, the output of which can be pulsed, shaped, and
focused, that can couple with the human body in a fashion that
will allow one to prevent voluntary muscular movements, control
emotions (and thus actions), produce sleep, transmit suggestions,
interfere with both short-term and long-term memory, produce an
experience set, and delete an experience set. This will open the
door for the development of some novel capabilities that can be
used in armed conflict, in terrorist/hostage situation, and in
training..."
It is interesting
to note that two scientists with connections to CIA classified
mind control and psychic research have contributed to this study.
Dr. J West, MD Director Emeritus, Neuropsychiatric Institute,
UCLA, School of Medicine, Behavioral biology and Dr. Edwin May,
PhD, Science Applications International Corporation,(SAIC) Physics
of Consciousness.
This timeline
demonstrates how classified the electromagnetic and mind control
technology is. Scientists have been killed for revealing this
technology. They have lost government funding. They can be prosecuted
and or lose their jobs if they reveal national security secrets.
And some scientists have been targeted with the technology and
have been unfairly labeled mentally ill.
A similar
analogy would be the Manhattan Project, the U.S. government program
to build the atomic bomb. The project used the highest of national
security precautions, and few knew of its existence. Mind control
technology is the currently classified weapons program and national
security methods are even more entrenched and developed.
