1942-1947
From Cybernetics
by Norbert Weiner, Weiner is the originator of cybernetics. New
York Times 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 soliton—fields
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 stations—the 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."

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."

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."

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."

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.
