Artificial Telepathy

Spies for Hire: Key Officers at Booz Allen Hamilton

2009-06-30T18:35:00.000-07:00

As a key player in the Intelligence-Industrial Complex that spawned artificial telepathy, Booz Allen Hamilton deserves special attention.

The central importance of BAH becomes clear when one considers some of the stunning information unearthed by reporter Tim Shorrock in his new book Spies for Hire: The Secret World of Intelligence Outsourcing (Simon & Schuster: New York, 2008).

In Chapter 2, titled "Booz Allen Hamilton and the Shadow IC," Shorrock informs us that the spy business is booming, and BAH enjoys top ranking among those contractors who serve the "intelligence community."

In 2002, Booz Allen had more than 1000 former intelligence officers on its staff, and its government contracts rose dramatically after 911,

"from $626,000 in 2000 to $1.6 billion in 2006. Most of the latter figure, $932 million, was with the Department of Defense, where Booz Allen's major customers included the NSA, the Army, the Air Force, the Defense Logistics Agency, and the National Guard. In 2006, it was one of seven firms awarded a ten-year contract to bid on up to $20 billion worth of work in command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaisance -- a mouthful of a term usually referred to as C4ISR -- for the Army's Communications and Electronics Command, which is based in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey.

The term C4ISR is a perfect descriptor for Artificial Telepathy -- a powerful fusion of signal processing technologies that allows technicians to remotely gather and collect human intelligence (HUMINT) from the brain signals (SIGINT) of other human beings. As with C4ISR, Artificial Telepathy automates "signals collection" (eavesdropping) and "intelligence analysis" (figuring out what people intend to do) by utilizing satellites and computers, and the overall goal is military command and control.

Indeed, one might define Artificial Telepathy as a subset of C4ISR with a special focus on neurology, psychology and mind control. Artificial Telepathy is an exotic form of C4ISR that allows warriors to communicate nonvocally with soldiers in the field, enables spies and intelligence agents to perform reconnaisance and surveillance nonlocally by means of "remote viewing," and allows military officers to command and control the behavior of human minds at a distance, with the artificial aid of carefully networked satellite and computer technology.

Booz Allen Hamilton certainly has close ties to the contractors who worked on the Pentagon's "Stargate" program for psychic spying in the 1990s, and it took a lead role in development of the NSA's "Total Information Awareness" projects, mentioned in earlier posts.

BAH must certainly be on the short list of firms capable of designing and launching a system of space-based, mind-invasive weaponry. It has all the people, pull and know-how needed to put an "electronic concentration camp system" in place.

Art Collins - Chairman and CEO, Medtronic, Inc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_D._Collins,_Jr.

Mr. Collins serves on the Board of Directors of The Boeing Company, Cargill, Inc. and U.S. Bancorp. He is a member of the Board of Overseers of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania [6] and the Board of Visitors for the Farmer School of Business at Miami University[7]. He also was a previous Chairman of AdvaMed, the medical technology industry association, and has served on the boards of numerous civic organizations.

The people at Mind Control Forums consider Medtronics Inc. of Minneapolis, MN, to be among the foremost producers of deep-brain implant devices:
http://www.mindcontrolforums.com/news/fda-approves-implant-parkinsons.htm

The application of brain implant devices to Artificial Telepathy and mind control is obvious:

If computer power continues to develop rapidly, while physical processors continue to shrink in size, future enhancement might easily allow a person to attain "network enabled telepathy," or the ability to immediately access and manipulate massive amounts of information with a simple thought.
http://www.aaas.org/spp/sfrl/projects/human_enhancement/achievingHEindex.shtml

Medtronic has certainly developed brain chips, notably one that was approved for treatment of Parkinson's Disease by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1997. According to journalist Adam Keiper:

The implant is often called a “brain pacemaker” or a “neurostimulator”; Medtronic uses brand names like Soletra and Kinetra. The treatment goes by the straightforward name “Deep Brain Stimulation.” In the procedure, a tiny electrode with four contacts is permanently placed deep in the brain. It is connected by subcutaneous wire to a device implanted under the skin of the chest; this device delivers electrical pulses up the wire to the electrode in the brain. (Many patients are given two electrodes and two pulse generating devices, one for each side of the body.) The device in the chest can be programmed by remote control, so the patient’s doctor can pick which of the four contacts get triggered and can control the width, frequency, and voltage of the electrical pulse. Patients themselves aren’t given the same level of control, but they can use a handheld magnet or a remote control to start or stop the pulses.

Please note that in addition to serving Booz-Allen Hamilton and Medtronics, Mr. Collins also serves as a member of the board at Boeing. The folks at Mind Control Forum consider Boeing to be a "CIA Front Company": http://www.mindcontrolforums.com/cia500.htm

Headquartered in St. Louis, MO, Boeing is certainly a major defense contractor -- a $32.4 billion company with 72,000 employees worldwide. Together with L-3 Communications it helped the Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico, develop an Advanced Tactical Laser system that can be mounted on a C-130H aircraft: http://aftermathnews.wordpress.com/2007/12/12/boeing-installs-high-energy-death-ray-on-c-130-gunship/

Booz Allen, Mind Control and the USAF Space Command

2009-06-29T20:29:00.000-07:00

In the last two posts we have established the following:

1) Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH) is a major consultant for NSA, and is intimately involved in the development of "terrorist tracking" programs such as TANGRAM

2) BAH works closely on TANGRAM with two other key contractors, SRI International and SAIC, both of whom played a major role in the Defense Intelligence Agency's Project STARGATE

3) Project Stargate was a highly classified unit of psychic spies, described by Jim Marrs in his book PSI Spies: The True Story of America's Psychic Warfare Program

Booz Allen Hamilton therefore acts as a key link between NSA, the Pentagon's psychic spies, and the U.S. Air Force Space Command, which operates a network of highly sophisticated spy satellites and beam weapons.

If one buys the assumption that the USAF Space Command uses microwave towers, antenna farms and space-based brain-zappers to affect the moods and behaviors of people on Earth, then it would seem that Booz Allen Hamilton acts as a major architect of the military mind control network.

Just how deeply Booz Allen has inserted itself into U.S. Air Force "black" programs may be seen from the following description of key Air Force contracts held by BAH. These selections have been taken from Booz Allen's own website, found at this link:
http://www.boozallen.com/consulting/defense-consulting/air-force-consulting

Perhaps one should begin by noting that Booz Allen Hamilton maintains an office at 121 S. Tejon Street, Colorado Springs, CO, and this office holds an $11 million contract with Peterson Air Force Base, headquarters of the U.S.A.F. Space Command. For the details: http://www.governmentcontractswon.com/department/defense/booz_allen_hamilton_inc_004679015.asp?yr=06

The BAH website gives the following overview of it other Air Force contracts:

United States Air Force
"Booz Allen provides integrated strategy and technical services to Air Force headquarters and every Air Force Major Command. Some of our main clients include Air Combat Command, Air Force Space Command, Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Air Mobility Command (AMC), Air Force Special Operations Command, Air Force Cyber Command, Air Force Pacific Command and the U.S. Air Forces (USAF) in Europe. We also help organizations such as the Air Force Research Lab and the Aeronautical Systems Center stay on technology’s leading edge and support the Air Force’s work with the National Security Space Community."

Booz Allen gives further details on its work with National Security Space technology at this web address: http://www.boozallen.com/consulting/defense-consulting/space

Booz Allen Hamilton works across the space industry, helping defense, civil, and intelligence community clients apply new technologies, integrate space operations, and use innovative strategies to address the technical, cost, schedule, and risk of space systems development to help clients maximize the probability of program success.

Booz Allen Hamilton would certainly never list "brain zapping" as a major mission objective, but it gladly advertises the fact that it is now working on the following major space projects:

Transformational Satellite Communications System (TSAT)—Booz Allen serves as TSAT’s lead SE&I contractor across the space, network, and terminal segments.

International Space Station (ISS) Program Integration and Control—Booz Allen works with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) helping it to realize higher efficiency through assembly, transition, and steady-state operations.

Constellation Program—Booz Allen provides a broad spectrum of support to NASA’s next manned flight missions to the Moon and on to Mars.

Department of Defense (DoD) Teleport—Booz Allen is the systems engineering and program management lead for the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) teleport program.

Mobile User Objective System (MUOS)—Booz Allen serves the Navy as the program’s lead National Security Space Acquisition Policy (NSSAP) 03-01 program management consultant.

Global Broadcast Service (GBS)—Booz Allen helps DISA and the Air Force ensure effective GBS-Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) integration while significantly reducing costs through standards-based, commercial technologies.

Commercial Satellite Communications (SATCOM)—Booz Allen conducted the congressionally directed spend analysis and helps DISA realize business process efficiencies and improve market awareness.

Conclusion: If there is one spooky consultant capable of helping the U.S. Air Force beam a "cell phone call" into the center of an unwilling target's brain, that would be Booz Allen Hamilton.

Focus On: The U.S. Air Force Space Command

2009-06-22T19:51:00.000-07:00

In this post we will begin a closer examination of U.S. Air Force mind control operations. Why Air Force? And why start with a focus on the Air Force Space Command? For several reasons:

The U.S. Air Force imported dozens of Luftwaffe scientists during the 1940s and 1950s under Operation Paperclip
Many of these Nazi scientists worked at the School of Aviation Medicine near Randolph Air Force Base, San Antonio, TX during the 1950s, conducting (among other things) pilot stress tests, experiments in radiobiology and Human Radiation Experiments
Hubertus Strughold, a Nazi doctor who worked at SAM, went on to work for NASA, developing remote telemetry sensors that could monitor the vital signs of astronauts travelling to the Moon --a mind-boggling feat of precision that suggests remote neural monitoring is indeed quite possible
Today, SAM and the Human Effects Center of Excellence (HECOE) at Brooks Air Force Base help the Air Force Research Laboratory test its next generation of non-lethal weapons, including lasers, masers and microwave weapons used for crowd control
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has done extensive research into microwave hearing and voice-to-skull devices, according to a Washington Post article on voice hearers at this link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/10/AR2007011001399.html
AFRL is also one of the main sponsors of HAARP, a huge antenna farm near Fairbanks, AK, that is reportedly broadcasting in the 8-12 MHz (brainwave) range, and capable of delivering signals to almost any point on the globe
HAARP is technically part of the Air Force's Ballistic Missile Early Warning System, designed to detect missile launches coming from Russia
HAARP therefore falls under the direct command and control of NORAD, the U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) and the U.S. Space Command in Colorado Springs, CO
US Space Command also operates spy satellites for several other agencies of the Department of Defense, including the NSA, NASA, the National Reconnaissance Office, and the Defense Intelligence Agency.

No matter how one slices the pie, the hub of all "artificial telepathy" operations appears to be the Air Force Space Command (AFSC), headquartered at Peterson Air Force Base, just south of Colorado Springs, CO.

It's the "mission control"center where rocket scientists, AFRL, HAARP, spy satellites, radar dishes, microwave towers, beam weapons, human experimentation and spooky intelligence agencies like NSA, NRO and DIA all come together.

An Alarming Shift of Focus

During the Cold War, the Air Force used most of its surveillance gear to guard against nuclear missile attacks from Russia. Since the Gulf War of 1991, however, the mission of NORAD and the Air Force Space Command has shifted. See the Mission Statement for NORTHCOM (which is also headquartered at Peterson AFB) here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northcom

As the Wikipedia article at the link above indicates,

"USNORTHCOM has become the object of concern among civil libertarians and others that it could be used to implement martial law in the United States during an actual or perceived emergency.[2] The Military Commissions Act of 2006 effectively nullifies most restrictions placed on the military to support civilian administration by the Posse Comitatus Act, while the John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007 H.R. 5122 (2006) effectively nullifies the limits of the The Insurrection Act [3].

"Beginning Oct. 1, 2008, the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team will be assigned to U.S. Northern Command, marking the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to Northern Command."

More importantly, it may be the first time in recent history that an active armored brigade of the United States military has been specifically tasked to suppress dissent among Unites States civilians.

"The force will be known for the first year as a CBRNE Consequence Management Response Force, and will serve as an on-call federal response force for terrorist attacks and other natural or manmade emergencies and disasters.[4]. On 1 Dec 2008 The Pentagon ordered 20,000 troops to patrol streets of USA by 2011[5]"

For more information, see this article on Operation Garden Plot, a plan for military control of the United States during times of civil disturbance. The master plan for martial law clearly puts control into the hands of commanders at NORTHCOM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Garden_Plot

The commanders at NORTHCOM, meanwhile, do not seem to be content with spy satellites that provide "Google Maps" in real time. Sure, the telescopes show people walking around like ants on city streets, but what good is that? What good is watching people if you have no idea how to tell the good ones from the bad ones?

What the generals at NORTHCOM and Space Command want is a domestic surveillance system that provides Total Information Awareness. They want to get inside the target's phone calls and email. They want to get inside the target's bank accounts and spending patterns. They want to get inside the target's family network, social network, business network.

They want to get inside the target's head.

To do all this, they are hooking their space satellites to the massive data-mining programs run by NSA (see the last post). They are paying scientists at UC-Irvine and dozens of other brain labs to show them how they can monitor and read the subtle "electronic signals intelligence" that goes on inside a person's brain (see the links at left). And they are putting together an electronic surveillance system so powerful that no human can escape its watchful, infrared eyes.

The result is a surveillance society that is rapidly growing to be every bit as nighmarish as the fictional version presented in The Matrix.

To fully grasp the size, scope, and amazing power of the AFSC's world-wide surveillance network, it helps to start with the big picture. Here's an overview.

Size

The Air Force Space Command employs approximately 40,000 people, including 25,400 active-duty military and civilians, and 14,000 contractor employees. See the Wikipedia article here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Space_Command

Missions

AFSPC has four primary mission areas:

1. Space forces support "involves launching satellites and other high-value payloads into space using a variety of expendable launch vehicles and operating those satellites once in the medium of space. " Translation: Like NASA, the Space Command builds rockets and oversees construction of the highly sophisticated spy satellites, telescopes and beam weapons put into orbit by the Department of Defense.

2. Space control "ensures friendly use of space through the conduct of counterspace operations encompassing surveillance, negation, and protection." Translation: They build space weapons and zappers that can take out enemy missiles. They target enemy launch sites. And they have a license to monitor any and all enemies, terrorists or "suspicious civilians" who may be lurking around their own facilities. In fact, a rather broad definition of "space control" might involve controlling, um, your back yard. Or even the space between your ears.

3. Force enhancement "provides weather, communications, intelligence, missile warning, and navigation. Force enhancement is support to the warfighter. " Translation: They supply weather reports, mapping and GPS service to their buddies on the ground. They supply phone and secure communication service through communication satellites. And sometimes they share some of the fun "intelligence" stuff their telescopes and sensors snorfed up from, um, your back yard.

4. Force application "involves maintaining and operating a rapid response, land-based ICBM force as the Air Force's only on-alert strategic deterrent." Translation: Despite the apparent end of the Cold War, they remain ready to launch nuclear missiles and obliterate entire cities (millions of people) at a moment's notice. One can only speculate what their target list includes these days.

Locations

Peterson Air Force Base is the central HQ for the Space Command.
A Google map may be seen below:

For a blow-up map: http://www.peterson.af.mil/shared/media/ggallery/hires/AFG-080512-016.jpg

In addition to command headquarters at Peterson AFB, the Space Command operates support activities at nine "host" bases:

1. Buckley AFB, Colorado -- a base near Denver with an surveillance wing and a special focus on the research and development of biomedical sensors. Lockheed Martin, an Air Force contractor deeply involved in the development of artificial telepathy, lives nearby in Littleton.

Among other things, Lockheed Martin runs Sandia National Weapons Laboratory, Albuquerque, NM, which in turn has a Cognitive Sciences laboratory deeply devoted to probing the human mind.

2. Francis E. Warren AFB, Wyoming (Soon to be transferred to the Global Strike Command)

3. Los Angeles AFB, California maintains the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center , the Military Satellite Communications Systems Wing , the Global Positioning Systems Wing, the
Space-Based Infrared Systems Wing, the Launch and Range Systems Wing and the
Space Superiority Systems Wing

This base is right next door to some key players in Artificial Telepathy, including

4. Space Development and Test Wing (Kirtland AFB, New Mexico) interfaces with the Air Force Research Laboratory, also located at Kirtland AFB.

5. 526th ICBM Systems Group (Hill AFB, Utah)
6. Malmstrom AFB, Montana (Soon to be transferred to the Global Strike Command)
7. Minot AFB, North Dakota (Soon to be transferred to the Global Strike Command)
8. Patrick AFB, Florida
821st Air Base Group (Thule Air Base, Greenland)
Schriever AFB, Colorado
Space Innovation and Development Center
Vandenberg AFB, California

AFSPC also operates several Air Force Stations for launch support and early warning missions:
Cape Cod Air Force Station, Massachusetts
6th Space Warning Squadron
Cavalier AFS, North Dakota
10th Space Warning Squadron
Cheyenne Mountain AFS, Colorado
Clear Air Force Station, Alaska
13th Space Warning Squadron
New Boston AFS, New Hampshire
23d Space Operations Squadron
Onizuka AFS, California
21st Space Operations Squadron

Commander

AFSC's current commander is General C. Robert "Bob" Kehler. The general "oversees a global network of satellite command and control, communications, missile warning and launch facilities, and ensures the combat readiness of of America's Intercontinental Ballistic Missile force."

A full biography of Gen. Kehler may be found at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Robert_Kehler

TANGRAM: Artificial Telepathy as a form of "Total Information Awareness"

2009-05-25T11:27:00.000-07:00

Does the Unites States government use Artificial Telepathy and remote viewing to track terrorists? Signs point to yes.

In fact there are fascinating connections between the National Security Agency and three spooky defense contractors who have played key roles in the development of artificial telepathy, remote viewing and the TANGRAM terrorist tracking system.

The Big Three in Telepathy

These three firms have played key roles in the government's psychic spying programs:

Stanford Research Institute (SRI International)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRI_International

Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH),
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booz_Allen_Hamilton

and Scientific Applications International Corporation (SAIC).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_Applications_International_Corporation

The same three firms also serve as key players in TANGRAM -- the U.S. government's "Total Information Awareness" program for tracking terrorists via computer.

Mind reading as a form of "Total Information Awareness"?

As mentioned in the last post, the Department of Defense launched a "Total Information Awareness" (TIA) program shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Despite efforts by the United States Congress to kill the TIA in 2003, the core of this massive data-mining program has been renamed TANGRAM and moved quietly to an office on the campus of the National Security Agency, the "Puzzle Palace" where some of the nation's brightest mathematicians break codes and ciphers.

The NSA is exactly where one would expect the government to park a spy program focussed intensely on sorting out massive amounts of puzzling information. The United States undoubtedly needs to track terrorists.

The only problem is, the NSA spymasters do not seem to be satisfied with merely tracking foreign nationals who pose a clear and present danger to the security of the United States. Civil rights activists claim that the NSA has begun digging far too deeply into the private communications and private lives of domestic civilians who pose little or no threat at all.

In fact, from the information gathered by this blog, it would appear that the NSA's concept of "Total Information Awareness" involves not only spying on domestic telephone traffic, bank transactions, email and computer communications, but also electronically penetrating the inner most thoughts of "suspects" via artificial telepathy and remote neural monitoring.

For an article on remote neural monitoring, see this link: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_remote_neural_monitoring_a_reality

For legal documentation of the claim that NSA is using remote neural monitoring to perform surveillance on U.S. citizens, see the case of John St. Clair Akwei vs. NSA, here:
http://www.angelfire.com/or/mctrl/akwei.html

For an article on the original "Information Awareness Office" (IAO - a mass surveillance and terrorist tracking program established by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency back in 2002) see the Wikipedia article at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Awareness_Office

Attempts to Kill the TIA Failed

The article at the link above clearly indicates that Congress defunded the TIA program in 2003, partially in response to a firestorm of civil rights complaints. However, the article also states unequivocally that TIA was not killed: "the core of the project survived."

The key programs within TIA were simply renamed and relocated. They were moved to "hundreds" of shadowy R&D units overseen by the National Security Agency and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

One such unit is now working on a mass data-mining and surveillance program called TANGRAM. And, as noted above, three of the major contractors working on TANGRAM were deeply involved in the development of artificial telepathy and remote viewing.

TANGRAM: A Chinese Puzzle

According to the National Journal, the lead subcontractors for the Tangram terrorist tracking system are Stanford Research Institute International, Booz Allen Hamilton, and 21st Century Technologies.

The name "Stanford Research Institute" will immediately set off alarm bells and flashing lights to anyone familiar with Remote Viewing and the Pentagon's Stargate program for psychic spying. The role played by SRI is well documented in Jim Marrs' book PSI Spies: The True Story of America's Psychic Warfare Program (Franklin Lake, NJ: New Page Books, 2007). See Chapter 6: "Penetrating the Impenetrable."

See also this overview article on Stargate:
http://www.fas.org/irp/program/collect/stargate.htm

Booz Allen Hamilton: Shadow Government Inc.

The roles of Booz Allen Hamilton (a major CIA contractor) and 21st Century Technologies of Austin, TX, deserve further exploration. They will be examined in future posts.

For now, it is sufficient to note that Booz Allen and 21st Century both were contractors on the original Total Information Awareness program and BAH certainly brings together, under one roof, several key players in artificial telepathy programs, including former directors of the CIA, the NSA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the U.S. Space Command.

This last point cannot be emphasized enough: Booz Allen acts as an important "black box," a sort of Shadow Government Inc., that links the folks at NSA, the National Reconnaisance Office (NRO), NASA and the U.S. Air Force -- all key players in the research and development of Artificial Telepathy. Each of these agencies use the sophisticated supercomputers, space platforms and satellites run by the U.S. Space Command.

More on TANGRAM: A Key Piece to the Puzzle

The survival of the "outlawed" TIA program and the existence of its replacement -- TANGRAM -- were revealed by Shane Harris in a February 2006 article for the National Journal titled "TIA Lives On."

See the original article at this link: http://www.nationaljournal.com/about/njweekly/stories/2006/1020nj3.htm

Mr. Harris clearly identifies SRI, BAH and 21st Century Technologies as the main contractors for research and design on the new TANGRAM team overseen by the National Security Agency. Documents undearthed by the National Journal also show that TANGRAM performs essentially the same "information extraction" functions as the Total Information Awareness system that was defunded.

More importantly, Mr. Harris identifies the office that now serves as the secret hub of the all new and improved TIA system.

The Secret Hub: ARDA

According to Harris, 'Two of the most important components of the TIA program were moved to the Advanced Research and Development Activity, housed at NSA headquarters in Fort Meade, Md., documents and sources confirm. One piece was the Information Awareness Prototype System, the core architecture that tied together numerous information extraction, analysis, and dissemination tools developed under TIA. The prototype system included privacy-protection technologies that may have been discontinued or scaled back following the move to ARDA.

"A $19 million contract to build the prototype system was awarded in late 2002 to Hicks & Associates, a consulting firm in Arlington, Va., that is run by former Defense and military officials. Congress's decision to pull TIA's funding in late 2003 'caused a significant amount of uncertainty for all of us about the future of our work,' Hicks executive Brian Sharkey wrote in an e-mail to subcontractors at the time. 'Fortunately,' Sharkey continued, 'a new sponsor has come forward that will enable us to continue much of our previous work.' Sources confirm that this new sponsor was ARDA."

The Role of SAIC - Another firm linked to Remote Viewing

Students of Artificial Telepathy will be fascinated to learn that Hicks & Associates of Arlington, VA, the firm mentioned above as the designers of Tangram's computer prototype, became the "policy and analysis" branch of Scientific Applications International Corporation (SAIC) in 1991. SAIC is the California-based firm that took over the Defense Intelligence Agency's Stargate remote viewing program in 1991.

Put another way: The Stargate guys are now building the computer "brain" of TANGRAM, the new Total Information Awareness system.

For the link between Hicks and SAIC, see this webpage:
http://www.saic.com/natsec/policy-analysis-consulting.html

An interesting Wikipedia article on SAIC may be found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_Applications_International_Corporation

This article clearly states:

"The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) transitioned a Remote Viewing Program to SAIC in 1991 and it was renamed Stargate Project"

Further links between SAIC, the company that ran Stargate, and the Tangram "information extraction" program are spelled out in the Wikipedia article on the Information Awareness Office and its surviving components:

" TIA's two core projects are now operated by Advanced Research and Development Activity (ARDA) located among the 60-odd buildings of "Crypto City" at NSA headquarters in Fort Meade, MD. ARDA itself has been shifted from the NSA to the Disruptive Technology Office (run by to the Director of National Intelligence). They are funded by National Foreign Intelligence Program for foreign counterterrorism intelligence purposes.

BASEBALL

"One technology, now codenamed Baseball is the Information Awareness Prototype System, the core architecture to integrate all the TIA's information extraction, analysis, and dissemination tools. Work on this project is conducted by SAIC through its Hicks & Associates, consulting arm that is run by former Defense and military officials and which had originally been awarded US$19 million IAO contract to build the prototype system in late 2002.[24]

TOPSAIL

"The other project has been re-designated TopSail (formerly Genoa II) and would provide IT tools to help anticipate and preempt terrorist attacks. SAIC has also been contracted to work on Topsail, including a US$3.7 million contract in 2005."

Conclusions: When we piece together the parts of the Tangram puzzle, above, we may deduce that Artificial Telepathy "black" programs are probably

run as submodalities or adjuncts to a much larger Total Information Awareness program -- an information-sucking vortex run by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the National Security Agency, and the Advanced Research Development Agency

funded and fielded under cover of "legitimate" counterterrorism programs

researched, developed and designed by large, spooky and well-established defense consulting firms with a presence in the D.C. beltway, notably Stanford Research International, Booz Allen Hamilton, 21st Century Consultants, Hicks & Associates, and Scientific Applications International Corporation.

Thought Police: The Next Logical Step in a Total Surveillance Society

2009-02-14T05:26:00.001-08:00

George Orwell introduced the concept of the "Thought Police" in his dystopian novel 1984. See the Wikipedia article on Thought Police here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_Police

According to Kathleen Taylor in her own book, Brainwashing: The Science of Thought Control (Oxford University Press, 2006) "It is the job of the Thought Police to uncover and punish thoughtcrime and thought-criminals, using psychology and omnipresent surveillance from telescreens to find and eliminate members of society who were capable of the mere thought of challenging ruling authority."

Does such a system exist in the United States today? Signs point to yes.

Granted, the United States remains a republic, and it has just completed a new cycle of elections. Its liberal constitution and principles of democratic representation seem to be standing firmly in place. Its flag waves proudly.

But there is a growing body of evidence that this country, once "conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal," has devolved into a paranoid police state, much like the authoritarian state described by George Orwell in 1984.

One may find, simply by searching the internet, plenty of evidence that the United States government is actively involved in all the basic activities of the "Thought Police" exactly as listed above:

1. The uncovering and punishment of thought crime and thought criminals
2. The use of psychology to profile and identify "potential" criminals, terrorists and subversives within society; and
3. the use of "omni present surveillance from telescreens" to create what Harlan Girard calls "an Electronic Concentration Camp System" -- a grid or matrix from which no person can escape.

In each of these activities, the new mind-invasive technologies known collectively as artificial telepathy play a key role.

Uncovering and Punishing Thought Crime

As documented in many other posts on this blog, mind-invasive technologies have begun to play a key role in the uncovering and punishment of "thoughtcrime."

The prime example is the Department of Homeland Security's new Malintent program mentioned in the previous post (q.v.) By scanning the faces of people at airports and reading other vital signs like heart rate, temperature and blood pressure, new sensors and computer algorithms can be used to read the intentions of airplane passengers -- and presumably to prevent "potential terrorists" from boarding planes by means of "pre-emptive arrest."

One must emphasize here that reading a person's intentions with a camera and a computer is probably not much more reliable than a classic lie detector test, and very little scientific evidence exists to support the claims that these machines are accurate. The important thing to note is that the Department of Homeland Security seriously intends to use these machines as a pretext for pre-emptive arrest -- that is, they intend to arrest people for crimes not yet committed.

Arresting a person for a crime not yet committed, on the basis of perceived intent, amounts to arresting people for thought crimes.

Use of Psychological Profiling to Detect and Detain "Potential" Criminals

As Jim Marrs points out in his new book The Rise of The Fourth Reich: The Secret Societies That Threaten to Take Over America (William Morrow, 2008), these "mind reading" computer systems are "reminiscent of prewar Nazi plans to preempt crime and dissent." (p. 333)

For example, Nazi psychologists used pseudo-scientific examinations and the doctrine of preemption to remove "uneducable" children from grade schools. If a number of symptoms indicated that a child was "bad student material," their name would be registered on a list. It was stated that "genetic and national health considerations recommend their preventative registration."

"Of course," says Marrs, "such registration led to the euthanasia centers."

Marrs rightly calls "disturbing" the new trend to identify and detain potential troublemakers before they have actually committed a crime.

Terrorist Watch List -- or Black List?

In its efforts to intercept "suspected terrorists," the Department of Homeland Security has added more than one million names to its terrorist watch list. The American Civil Liberties Union suggests this number is way too high.

"Terrorist watch lists," it says, "must be tightly focused on true terrorists who pose a genuine threat. Bloated lists are bad because they ensnare many innocent travelers as suspected terrorists, and because they waste screeners' time and divert their energies from looking for true terrorists."

Among the individuals whose names were found on the list by 60 Minutes and other media organizations: Sen. Edward Kennedy, Nelson Mandela, Bolivian President Evo Morales, Saddam Hussein (in custody at the time), Rep. John Lewis, James Moore (author of Bush's Brain), and John William Anderson, age 6.

http://www.aclu.org/privacy/spying/watchlistcounter.html

Now one must admit that certain children really are terrible brats, who ought to be watched more closely by their parents, but is it really necessary for the secret police to become involved? And if a United States Senator can be listed as a "suspect," then who is above suspicion?

A "terrorist" watch list that includes the names of more than one million people seems to be clear evidence that the Department of Homeland Security is either a) very paranoid indeed, or b) very interested in using terrorism as a pretext for spying on U.S. citizens who have committed no crimes.

That is, they have established a system that allows them to "find and eliminate members of society who are capable of the mere thought of challenging existing authority."

FTAC: The Fixated Threat Assessment Center

Psychological profiling, black listing and preemptive arrests are "Thought Police" tactics used in Europe, too, not just in the U.S. The British have their own system, called FTAC.

In a chapter titled "Psychology and Public Control," Jim Marrs writes: "The British government, in May 2007, responding to news accounts, acknowledge it had secretly established a new national antiterrorist unit to protect VIPs by first profiling, then arresting persons considered to be potentially dangerous. Amazingly, this power to detain suspects even before they actually committed a crime was based on mental health laws."

Marrs cites a news story by London Times reporter Joanna Bale. She reports that "until now it has been up to mental health professionals to determine if someone should be forcibly detained, but the new unit uses the police to identify suspects, increasing fears that distinctions are being blurred between criminal investigations and doctors' clinical decisions."

Experts believe that this arrangement "is set to reignite controversy over the detention of suspects without trial."

"There is grave danger of this being used to deal with people where there is insufficient evidence for a criminal prosecution," said Gareth Crossman, policy director for Britain's National Council for Civil Liberties.

"This blurs the line between medical decisions and police actions. If you are going to allow doctors to take people's liberty away, they have to be independent. That credibility is undermined when the doctors are part of the same team as the police. This raises serious concerns. First, that you have a unit that allows police investigation to lead directly to people being sectioned without any kind of criminal proceedings. Secondly, it is being done under the umbrella of antiterrorism at a time when the government is looking for ways to detain terrorists without putting them on trial."

Scotland Yard has refused to discuss how many suspects have been forcibly hospitalized by the team, because of "patient confidentiality." Meanwhile, conservative members of the British government have hailed FTAC as the first joint mental health - police unit in the United Kingdom and a "prototype for future joint services" in other areas. They are introducing legislation to broaden the definition of mental disorders to give doctors -- and now police -- more power to detain people.

Mass Surveillance and the 'Electronic Concentration Camp'

Jim Marrs worries that joint psychologist-police units like the FTAC in Britain might serve as a prototype for similar units in the U.S. "Is this coming to America soon?" Marrs asks.

Harlan Girard would probably answer: "It's already here!"

Mr. Girard is the Managing Director of the International Committee Opposing Microwave Weapons (ICOMW), and he firmly believes that the United States government has already established what he calls an "Electronic Concentration Camp System."

See the homepage of his website here: http://www.icomw.org/

Essentially, the ECCS is a network of microwave towers and broadcast centers that can virtually imprison any citizen of the United States that the Thought Police wish to target. It's a people zapping system, used to track, torture and psychologically harrass inconvenient people who, for one reason or another, have been placed on the government's long list of enemies.

To support this claim, Girard has amassed an impressive collection of documents, posted at the website's archive, here: http://www.icomw.org/archive.asp

The documents in this archive clearly indicate that the U.S. government has no need of the small FTAC units used by the British Government. The number of peace protestors and politically "inconvenient" people who have suddenly begun to hear voices in their heads strongly suggests that the U.S. government has built and fielded something much bigger, much more powerful, and much more scary: a fully developed and fully operational Electronic Concentration Camp System.
If the secret police, operating under the umbrella of counterterrorism, wish to "section" an inconvenient citizen "without any criminal proceedings," they simply enroll that individual into the ECCS.

Technically, the "Targeted Individuals" remain free, but they are tortured 24/7 with microwave weapons, often to the point of losing their minds. They hear voices and experience a wide variety of horrible sensations. If they voluntarily turn themselves in to a psychiatric hospital, they are immediately diagnosed as schizophrenic and sectioned. Thus they are discredited and stigmatized for life. Those who turn to mainstream media are openly mocked.

In 2007, The Washington Post did a profile on Mr. Girard and other voice hearers, who are commonly called "wavies." (See the link among the News links lists to the left.)

While the reporter kept a skeptical distance from Mr. Girard, she did at least do some background research on mind-invasive technologies. The Post filed an FOIA request with the U.S. Air Force and did manage to obtain documents showing that the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has conducted several "voice to skull" experiments during the past decade.

It may be interesting to note that AFRL is also one of the primary research sponsors (along with the Navy) for the High-Frequency Active Auroral Reasearch Project (HAARP) -- a 35-acre antenna farm near Fairbanks, Alaska, that is powerful enough to focus microwave beams anywhere on the face of the earth.

According to Dr. Nick Begich, author of the book Angels Don't Play This HAARP (http://www.earthpulse.com/), the Air Force can broadcast from these antennae at frequencies that match the frequency range of the human brain.

In Chapter 23 "Psychocivilized Society and the CIA," Dr. Begich explores "the use of electromagnetic waves for mind manipulation," and concludes that it would be very possible to use HAARP as a non-lethal weapon that could be rationalized as an alternative to military force.

Whether HAARP acts as the hub of the ECCS is another question. HAARP certainly operates as part of the Air Force's "Star Wars" ballistic missile early warning system, scanning for Soviet Missile launches. That means it is a subordinate wing of NORAD, the North American Air-Defense Command -- an underground city buried beneath Cheyenne Mountain near Colorado Springs.

NORAD is a "hardened" and extremely secure underground site, equipped with supercomputers and direct uplinks to a wide variety of top secret space platforms and space-based beam weapons. It makes an excellent candidate for the HQ of the kind of "Electronic Concentration Camp" that Harlan Girard has envisioned.

NORAD certainly does have full access to the kinds of spy satellites and laser beams that worry the "wavies." It may incorporate many other systems besides HAARP, and it may be no accident that the Sci-Fi series "Stargate" is supposedly set in NORAD's underground bunker.

Given NORAD's vast array of high-tech toys and its direct links to the Pentagon and the NSA, the possiblity that it might be HQ for a top secret "Thought Police" unit does not seem to be entirely out of the question.

Total Information Awareness

Civil liberties groups cried "Thought Police" in 2002 when they first discovered the U.S. Defense Department's Information Awareness Office and its Total Information Awareness doctrine. Run for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) by former Vice Adm. John Poindexter, the TIA "counterterrorism" program caused quite a brouhaha because it advocated pre-emptive policing through use of a massive data mine that would interconnected a wide array of powerful surveillance systems:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Awareness_Office

DARPA's own website tells us that "The goal of the Total Information Awareness program is to revolutionize the ability of the United States to detect, classify and identify foreign terrorists -- and decipher their plans -- and thereby enable the U.S. to take timely action to successfully pre-empt and defeat terrorist acts."

http://infowar.net/tia/www.darpa.mil/iao/TIASystems.htm

See also this article on the "Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act" from Project Censored (The Top 25 Censored Stories of 2009):
http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/6-the-homegrown-terrorism-prevention-act/

Under this act, which nearly became law in 2007, local police departments might have been given legal cover for the use of nonlethal, mind-invasive technology against their own populace. They could zap "suspects" in the name of preventing "homegrown terror."

Indeed, pre-emptive policing can be used to rationalize almost every form of privacy violation. One need simply argue that the rights of the individual can and must be overriden by police in order to protect and defend the physical safety of society as a whole. It's for the greater good.

Conclusion

What Orwell did was simply to carry the twin doctrines of total information awareness and preemptive policing to their logical extreme. He imagined a world in which no one had any right to privacy whatever. None. All personal privacy is sacrificed on the altar of national security -- for the greater good.

In the sacred name of "national security," the technocrats who run the nightmarish police state of 1984 arrogantly assume the right to invade the inner sanctum of the mind itself. They read the thoughts of every citizen, dabble their fingers in the stuff that souls are made of, and sit in arrogant, authoritarian judgement over all.

Perhaps the vision of such a police state being realized in 1984 may cause people to smirk. That was, after all, more than 25 years ago, and we don't have such a police state now, do we?

To those who smirk, however, one might call attention to the many patents on mind-invasive technology that may be found listed in the left-hand column of this blog. One must also point out that the U.S. Department of Defense did not necessarily do away with DARPA's Information Awareness Office or its Total Information Awareness doctrine.

As with most black programs that are discovered by Congress and the media, these programs have been given new names and parked under the camouflage of other departments within the intelligence community. They still exist.

See Schneier on Security "Total Information Awareness Is Back"

www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2006/10/total_informati.html

"Report: NSA's Warrantless Spying Resurrects Banned Total Information Awareness Program" http://www.blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/03/nsas-warrantles.html

Now consider this: If the doctrines of pre-emptive policing and total information awareness remain in place, can the massive use of mind-invasive technology be far behind?

Orwell may have been off by a few years. But his understanding of the basic arrogance of intelligence agencies and his vision of a nightmarish police state were frightfully accurate. With the quiet advent of mind-reading technologies, the chilling age of the Thought Police has secretly, stealthily and finally arrived.

MALINTENT: Homeland Security Gets Inside Your Head

2009-01-29T20:03:00.000-08:00

"Homeland Security is now testing the next generation of security screening -- a body scanner that can read your mind," reports Allison Barrie of FOX News ("Homeland Security Detects Terrorist Threats by Reading Your Mind," foxnews.com, 23 Sept 2008).

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,426485,00.html

This is no polygraph, Barrie says. Subjects do not get hooked up or strapped down for a careful reading. The machine is "like an X-ray for bad intentions," with its "series of sensors and imagers that read your body temperature, heart rate and respiration for unconscious tells invisible to the naked eye -- signals terrorists and criminals may display in advance of an attack."

Photo Credit: The Telegraph (UK)

The photo above, from the (London) Telegraph's 24 September 2008 article on MALINTENT, suggests that one simply walks through a standard scanner. But Barrie's report indicates that the experimental equipment was housed in a long trailer truck, where more than 144 (mostly unwitting) subjects were tested.

A better picture of the system may be seen in an article by Liz Hazleton of the London Daily Mail, "The Airport Security Scanner That Can Read Your Mind" (24 Sept 2008):

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1060972/The-airport-security-scanner-read-mind.html

Hazleton says that a series of sensors, like the one shown below, read body temperature, heart rate and respiration. "Analyzed together, these factors can lead security services to potential terrorists. Any suspects are pulled aside for questioning, and then subjected to a second scan, which involves microfacial scanning."

This equipment "is able to read minute muscle movements which give further indications of criminal intent.

"So far it can read seven primary emotions and emotional clues and will eventually have equipment which can analyze body movement, an eye-scanner and a pheromone reader."

MALINTENT' has been described as the "brainchild of the cutting-edge Human Factors Division in Homeland Security's directorate for Science and Technology." It apparently uses facial scanners and body scanners, referred to as Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST). By reading the expression on one's face and comparing that expression to other faces on a database, computers can presumably read one's mood and mental intentions.

The homepage for the DHS Directorate of Science and Technology may be found here:

http://www.dhs.gov/xabout/structure/editorial_0530.shtm

An organizational overview of their Human Factors and Behavioral Sciences Division may be found at this link:

http://www.dhs.gov/xres/programs/gc_1218480185439.shtm

There one finds the following DHS description of the program dubbed "MALINTENT":

Homeland Innovation Prototypical Solutions - Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) Project

Project Manager: Bob Burns

Project Overview: The Homeland Security Advanced Research Project Agency (HSARPA) and S&T Directorate Human Factors Behavior Sciences (HFBS) Division Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) Project is an initiative to develop innovative, non-invasive technologies to screen people at security checkpoints. FAST is grounded in research on human behavior and psychophysiology, focusing on new advances in behavioral/human-centered screening techniques. The aim is a prototypical mobile suite (FAST M2) that would be used to increase the accuracy and validity of identifying persons with malintent (the intent or desire to cause harm). Identified individuals would then be directed to secondary screening, which would be conducted by authorized personnel. This project is part of the HFBS innovations portfolio (Homeland Security Advanced Research Project Agency Program).

No description or photo of the scanner is provided. However, we do have an image of analysts using the system, taken from the UK Daily Mail article cited above:

The DHS website offers an abundance of additional information on similar "mind reading" projects, lumped under the general heading of Hostile Intent Detection. For example:

Hostile Intent Detection – Training & Simulation Project

Project Manager: Larry Willis

Project Overview: The S&T Directorate Human Factors Behavior Sciences (HFBS) Division Hostile Intent Detection – Training and Simulation Project develops computer-based simulation to train behavior-based stand-off detection for future hostile intent using indicators from the interactive screening environment (Hostile Intent Detection – Automated Prototype) and the observational environment (Hostile Intent Detection – Validation) to support screening and interviewing interactions at air, land, and maritime portals. This project is part of the HFBS social behavioral threat analysis thrust area and suspicious behavior detection program.

Translation: DHS is funding several programs, just like MALINTENT, aimed at reading the mental intentions of individuals whose behavior is deemed "suspicious."

Silent Speech: How To "Read Thoughts" with SVR

2009-01-28T20:54:00.000-08:00

Photo Credit: NASA Ames Research Laboratory

Can thoughts be read by artificial means?

Short answer: yes.

See the NewScientist video demonstration here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyN4ViZ21N0&feature=related

You may not realize it, but when you think to yourself, your subconscious mind often forms the words, as if trying to speak. These "subvocal" words are then sent to the voice box, where they make the vocal chords hum.

Here's the spooky part: NASA has developed sensors that can read the vibrations made by silent, said-to-self speech. The digital signals from these sensors can be fed to a computer software program that interprets the vibrations and translates them into artificial speech or into written text. The text, in turn, can be sent by phone line to a person hundreds of miles away.

See NASA's Subvocal Demo Page here:
http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/news/releases/2004/subvocal/subvocal.html

For all practical purposes, these machines can be used to hear or "read" the unspoken thoughts of another human being. It amounts to artificial mind reading.

For a Wikipedia article on subvocal recognition (SVR), see the link here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subvocal_recognition

For an interesting article published by Forbes magazine in 2006 titled "The Silent Speaker":

http://www.forbes.com/free_forbes/2006/0410/084.html

As one might imagine, the device has many practical applications for astronauts, scuba divers or people with disabilities. The Ambient Corporation, for example, is now marketing a device called the Audeo that helps people speak:

http://www.theaudeo.com/

On February 26, 2008 the Ambient Corporation demonstrated what it called the world's first voiceless phone call:

http://www.theaudeo.com/display_news.php?id=29

The covert applications of "silent speech" technology are also fairly obvious. To communicate secretly at a business meeting, one could potentially wear sensors under a turtle neck and transmit one's thoughts to a business partner wearing a bluetooth phone. Such a device could also be used to cheat at cards, to steal any data that can be seen and read, or to give silent orders among soldiers on a battlefield.

Alarmingly, the perfection of such equipment implies that at some time in the near future, remote sensors might be able to read silent, said-to-self thoughts without the target's knowledge or consent.

Researcher Nick Begich discusses the bioethics of using such "brainphones" and Neurophone-like devices in this 8-minute video, titled "The Battle for Your Mind":

Holosonic Audio Spotlight: How to Make A Person Hear Voices

2009-01-19T23:45:00.000-08:00

http://www.holosonics.com/technology.html

The following video gives a description and demonstration of the Holosonic "Audio Spotlight" -- a highly portable ultrasonic speaker system that can be directly aimed at a target individual and used to put a 3D voice into their ears. It only requires speaking into a microphone.

http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/Science-Fiction-News-Comments.asp?NewsNum=1351

As the video explains, the ultrasonic beam is so highly focussed that no one else can hear it -- not even in a library. Because no one else seems to be reacting, and no speaker seems to be present, it makes the target think they are "hearing voices."

Excerpt from the article at the link above:

Previously, this technology had been used in places like museums or libraries; it creates an isolated experience while not disturbing those in the general area.

I'm guessing some readers might be disturbed by the idea of an ad that is beamed right at them as they walk down the sidewalk. However, cheerful Joe Pompei, president and founder of Holosonics, knows you'll come to love the technology:

"If you really want to annoy a lot of people, a loudspeaker is the best way to do it," he said. "If you set up a loudspeaker on the top of a building, everybody's going to hear that noise. But if you're only directing that sound to a specific viewer, you're never going to hear a neighbor complaint from street vendors or pedestrians. The whole idea is to spare other people."

"There's going to be a certain population sensitive to it. But once people see what it does and hear for themselves, they'll see it's effective for getting attention," Mr. Pompei said.

I find myself wondering if perhaps there will be an increase in the number of people who check themselves into mental health services for a quick schizophrenia check-up.

Secret Sound Directional Speaker System

Museums have been using such "directional speaker systems" as exhibit devices since the late 1980s. It's now considered dinosaur technology, yet still startles people who are not expecting a clear, sourceless and highly focussed voice from nowhere. See this website:

http://www.museumtools.com/

Hyper-spike Sound Laser

If you imagine that the military has much better equipment in its bag of tricks, you are quite right. Check out the "Hyperspike Sound Laser" produced by Wattre Corp.:

http://www.wattre.com/

Their set-up video demonstrates how portable these systems can be. An extremely focused, laser-like beam gives a delivery range up to one mile.

MEDUSA Controls Crowds by Talking Inside Their Heads

2009-01-19T23:28:00.000-08:00

MEDUSA (Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio)

is a device that uses the microwave audio effect to produce recognizable sounds right inside a person's head.

Lev Sadovnik of the Sierra Nevada Corporation in the US is working on the system; he says the device will work thanks to a new reconfigurable antenna developed by colleague Vladimir Manasson. It steers the beam electronically, making it possible to flip from a broad to a narrow beam, or aim at multiple targets simultaneously.

Psychotropic Space Weapons

2009-01-19T21:08:00.000-08:00

The following article is taken from the Trufax website. For more information on "Sonochemistry and Neurophysics," please visit their homepage at http://www.trufax.org/ then click on the link titled "Brain and Technology Update" and go to the sublink titled "Brain and Technology Update Part 3."

To summarize briefly: neurophysicists have discovered that they can model the vibratory patterns of psychotropic chemicals like LSD. When scientists project these carefully shaped sonic vibrations onto the human brain, they can induce altered states of mind, exactly as if they were injecting the person with a drug.

The powerful hypodermic effect of such sonochemisty has some wonderful applications, but it also has some terrifying and very scary applications. It means that electro-magnetic beam weapons can be used to "drug" people against their will. Beam weapons can be used remotely, at a distance. When combined with space-based satellite systems, such beam weapons could potentially drug entire populations, en masse.

The article below on Psychotropic Space Weapons may be found in its original format here: http://www.trufax.org/general/psychotropic.html

PSYCHOTROPIC SPACE WEAPONS NOW CAPABLE OF DIRECTLY MANIPULATING GLOBAL POPULATION AREAS

Member of the Russian Federation of Space Exploration Scientific and Technical Council, Anatoliy Ptushenko describes spaced-based energy systems . . . that are "capable of driving millions of people crazy."

The first articles [give] an in-depth account written by a member of the Russian Federation of Space Exploration Scientific and Technical Council, Anatoliy Ptushenko. He discussed "for the first time in our press in Rabochaya Tribuna . . . psychotropic weapons . . . spaced-based energy systems . . . that are "capable of driving millions of people crazy . . . which started to be developed in the sixties."

The article continues with a discussion of space-based energy systems and the need for the world community to establish an a priori permanent, preventive monitoring of the development and deployment of space-based energy systems. He then describes the demonstrators on the streets of Moscow "with banners saying 'stop developing psychotronic weapons.' (Moscow Rabochaya Truibuna 11-26-94).

"[P]eople at the time were most interested in microwave systems. . . . However, the most important thing was deemed to be the psychotropic effect created by these systems under certain conditions. That was why they were officially called psychotropic rather than psychotronic weapons. It turned out that it was all a matter of frequency . . . .

"Generally speaking, most readers are probably familiar with superhigh frequency radiation: Few people with a head cold or a sprain have not sat in a clinic between the two black plates of a 'UHF generator.' There are frequencies that are beneficial to people. But naturally there are also those which are hazardous. At certain frequencies (I think that only professionals are interested in knowing precisely which ones) microwave radiation creates that very same psychotropic effect. That is, it has a direct physical effect on the human brain."

"So a microwave system can easily be tuned into a psychotropic weapon -- formidable in that it has a direct effect on the human brain . . . just by retuning the generator."

Ptushenko stated, "The terrible danger of psychotropic weapons is the possibility of their simultaneously and unequivocally affecting large masses of people over huge areas." He writes "Moskovskiye Novosti, The Komsomolka, Golos, Moskovskiy, Komsomolets, and many other papers have been frantic to tell us all about 'psychotronic' weapons (as if they had conspired!) . . . [T]hey are talking about something completely different: about hypnosis, 'verbal zombification,' the effect of ultrasound signals on the human subconscious (on the lines of Ilona Davydova). The subject of the articles is always associated with an acoustic address system involving suggestions, for instance, i.e. verbal (oral) pressure on a person -- albeit using inaudible ultrasonic frequencies."

Ptushenko then mentions Dr. Smirnov, the Russian psychiatrist who is famous for his mind control equipment [see 20+ section]. "Smirnov has it that 'psychotronics" are easily blocked . . . . But these childish tricks will not work with psychotropic weapons. It resembles the effect of a psychotropic drug, which is why the weapons were called psychotropic: An imbalance occurs, a fundamental change in a person's psyche, he loses self-control and becomes easily led, and his mind moves from the real world to a world of hallucination."

Ptushenko then distinguishes psychotropic drugs from psychotropic weapons."But there are fundamental differences between them. All pharmaceutical psychotropics are temporary-acting. While microwave radiation is variable: It can affect a person (or an Army) temporarily or possibly forever. It is all determined by the mix of frequency and the power of the radiation. These systems were called "psychotropic weapons" in official secret documents 30 years ago. It was these systems that we began to appreciate in the sixties."

Ptusenko ends the article with a warning. "They may quite well have actually been tested. It was not for nothing that at that time some graduates of the Moscow State University Biology Faculty were sent to Ministry of Radioeelctronics Research Institutes . . . . So let us leave the notorious science of psychotronics to the conscience of psychiatrists, psychics, and hypnotists. Nevertheless, faced with such a terrible danger as psychotropic weapons (and other kinds of space-based weapons), it is our duty to ensure that the development and operation of space based solar energy system receive popular and above all mass media scrutiny."

The above article describes the tremendous amount of information on psychotronics in Russian newspapers and agrees with the concerns of Lopatin and Tsygankov and the need to control these weapons. Ptushenko questions the psychotronic weapons school of thought and whether hypnosis will work on unwilling subjects. Hypnosis does work on unwilling subjects [see Dr. Scheflin's book Mind Manipulators (1978) and Dr. Colin Ross, Bluebird (2000). Both books document government involvement in hypnosis research and disinformation surrounding this issue.

Ptushenko [also] questions the information available on psychotropic weapons [and] claims concerning "hypnosis, 'verbal zombification,' the effect of ultrasound signals on the human subconscious . . . ." Ptushenko states emphatically that psychotropic weapons,"do not enable the individual human mind to be controlled in a precise and purposeful way. They simply 'jam' any internal connections responsible for a person's self-control, and he becomes easily controllable 'according to mob law' in line with commands form a space-based station. He can be controlled either from earth or from a command center lost in space."

These are considerable statements coming from a prominent space expert. Ptushenko has obviously given the matter serious consideration and believes that there are terrible dangers from psychotropic weapons and public debate is necessary. Further research is needed.

Information Warfare: The Teledisc Satellite System

The following article, written by Russian military experts, discusses information warfare.
Lopatin extensively discussed the threat of information warfare in his book.

In the U.S., the Learning Channel TV program "War 2020" (produced by Beyond Productions in 1998) is a good representation of information warfare. The program included Dr. Persinger of Canada's Laurentian University and his discussion on magnetic signals and how signals could be beamed from television, microwave and telephone towers and systems to targeted populations for mind control purposes.

The program narrator stated, "The ultimate weapon in the info war would be the human brain.
. . . . Mind control will be the ultimate nonlethal weapon."

Mind control weapons are categorized as information and nonlethal weapons, according to these sources. This article describes space weapons, including targeting of populations anywhere in the world with behavior control.

The article supplies details to prove that behavior control weapons are feasible, that the U.S. is concentrating research in this area and warns about possible American information and space warfare.

From: Moscow Armeyskiy Sbornik in Russian, Oct 96 No 10, pp 88-90.

Article by Major General Valeriy Menshikov, doctor of technical sciences, and Colonel Boris Rodionov

Along with ordinary wars, states have waged "information wars" since time immemorial, and are doing so now. But while previously they were given only an auxiliary role, lately their significance has grown immeasurably, and new technologies are "guilty" of this.

Armeyskiy Sbornik regularly publishes articles on this topic. Today leading specialists of the RF Armed Forces tell about achievements in this area.

"The Teledesic Advanced low-altitude global satellite communications system is of special interest. It will have 15 times more satellites than [the] Iridium -- 840. With other conditions being equal, the low orbit of small, lightweight craft (no more than 700 km) permits increasing the power of their radio emission on the Earth's surface 2,500 times or more and performing a wide range of military missions.

"It is unprecedented: the numerical size of the Iridium orbital grouping enables as a minimum simultaneously irradiating any point on Earth from two spacecraft. This provides double redundancy and increased reliability of communications, as for military systems. The band of radio-frequency emissions (20-30 GHz) also has not been used previously in commercial communications."

"An analysis of the enumerated features indicates that the Teledesic system can be used for irradiating ground, sea and airborne facilities with high-power modulated emissions, which in various automated control systems permits initiating computer viruses such as "sleepers," triggered by a special signal. This can become a real threat to security for countries whose command and control systems are oriented on foreign equipment.

"A psychophysical effect on people also is possible for the purpose of altering their behavior and even controlling the social aims of regional or even global societies. Fantasy? But the fact is that today the United States is spending as much money on developing psychophysical weapons as on the most complex space programs, and such a correlation cannot be accidental.

"The Americans began such research back in the prewar period and continued it after the war within the scope of programs known as MC-Ultra mind control, MC-Delta (remote alteration of human behavior) and also Bluebeard and Artichoke.

"Such an effect also is possible via the mass media by creating special audio signals in music hits, key video images in television programs and so on.

"The Teledesic space system also can be used for this same purpose. Suffice it to recall numerous statements to courts by U.S. citizens that cellular communications is the cause of various ailments, including brain cancer. U.S. scientists from the National Cancer Institute and the Food and Drug Administration recommended limiting use of such communications systems. Similar effects also are possible from the new systems. True, for this the output of its satellites has to be increased a thousand times more that what was announced, but technically it is fully feasible."

"Thus, the new space systems are potentially dangerous from the aspect of unfolding a wide-scale 'information war' and even creating a global systems for controlling people's behavior in any region, city or locality, including one's own. A country possessing them will gain an enormous advantage." [END]

The U.S. Army's Telepathy Battle Command

2009-01-06T20:41:00.000-08:00

A declassified FY 1999 Army budget estimate submitted to Congress in February 1998 indicates that, more than 10 years ago, the U.S. Army was planning to group all of its telepathy operations into a single Telepathy Battle Command. See the PDF at this link: http://www.asafm.army.mil/budget/fybm/fy99/rforms/vol3.pdf

Volume 3 Page 1197 lists the budget for Project D985 - Concepts Evaluation 0f Materiel - and indicates among its FY 1997 Accomplishments a simple, one-line project designated "Telepathy Battle Command." No fooling. The Army was testing out the concept of a Telepathy Battle Command.

There was no reason for the U.S. Army to test the concept of a "telepathy battle command" if it had not already tested or fielded telepathic weapons themselves. At the very least, this line item of the 1998 budget indicates that the U.S. Army takes the threat of telepathic battle and telepathic weapon systems seriously. They certainly were throwing serious money at it.

For more on how the U.S. Army has organized its conventional "Battle Command" system, see this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_Battle_Command_System

Is There An Active and Operational Telepathy Battle Command?

If the U.S. Army has built an active and operational Telepathy Battle Command center, it may be part of the Army's strategic "Command Post of the Future" (CPOF) system. However, CPOF places a greater emphasis on computers and digital imagery than "exotic" systems like telepathy. For more on CPOF, see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_Post_of_the_Future

Paul Smith's book Reading The Enemy's Mind and Jon Ronson's book The Men Who Stare At Goats both suggest that the DoD runs its telepathy programs through the Defense Intelligence Agency and Army INSCOM (Intelligence and Security Command). Both Army INSCOM and the National Security Agency are located at Ft. Meade, MD, which makes that town the most likely "hub" location.

It is also possible that elements of an Army "Telepathy Battle Command" have been placed at highly classified "black" facilities near Ft. Bragg, NC, headquarters of the Army Special Operations Command and home of the Army's Psychological Operations Directorate.

Ronson's book strongly suggests involvement by the Army's 9th Psyop Battalion, which is part of the 4th Psychological Operations Group:

ISBN: 1-4010-4113-2 (Trade Paperback)

Pages: 479

For those not familiar with the U.S. Psychotronics Association, the book Energetic Processes provides a fascinating window into their world of high-tech weirdness. Volume I, Interaction between Matter, Energy and Consciousness, offers 19 articles by 19 different authors, each a member of the U.S. Psychotronics Association. Some big names show up on these pages: Eldon A. Byrd, Andrija Puharich, Jack Houck, Robert C. Beck, and Thomas E. Bearden to name a few. Here is the Amazon.com listing:

http://www.amazon.com/Energetic-Processes-Peter-Moscow/dp/1401041132

Of special interest is Beck's paper "Extremely Low Frequency Magnetic Fields and EEG Entrainment: A Psychotronic Warfare Possibility?" (presented at the Annual Conference of the U.S. Psychotronics Association, Dayton, OH, 1978). See an internet copy here:

http://www.elfis.net/elfol8/e8elfeeg2.htm

Equally interesting is a 1991 history of Remote Viewing by Jack Houck titled "Remote Viewing and Psychokinesis Research." Several of his articles may be found at his webpage:

http://www.jackhouck.com/articles.shtml

One may recall that Mr. Houck was the man who taught Col. Alexander and Gen. Stubblebine how to bend spoons with the power of one's mind, and he hosted several "PK Parties" during the early 1980s. See Paul Smith's Reading the Mind of the Enemy (reviewed below) for more.

Soon to be released as a major motion picture starring George Clooney and Jeff Bridges, this off-the-wall expose by Jon Ronson explores the "more whacked-out corners of George W. Bush's war on terror."

Ronson takes us on a tour of the U.S. military's strange psychological warfare programs in a disturbing yet disarmingly funny romp that stumbles upon some serious human rights abuse. Highly readable, the book shines much needed light on several military programs that seem certifiably insane.

For example, we meet the New Age leaders of the touch-feely First Earth Battalion, a group of "psychic assassins" who believe that they can kill goats by staring at them, martial artists who trained the 911 pilots in "kamikaze mind," and PsyOp soldiers who torture prisoners in Iraq by locking them into sheds and playing the theme tune to Barney the Purple Dinosaur ("I Love You") full blast for 24 hours a day.

Ronson also dares to ask: "Why have 100 debleated goats been secretly placed inside the Special Forces Command Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina?" and "How was the U.S. military [remote viewing program] associated with the mysterious mass suicide of a strange cult from San Diego?"

This amazing book puts a human face on the "Wizards of Oz" who run the Army's psychological warfare department. Of most interest to voice hearers may be Ronson's cheeky interview with Col. John B. Alexander and his wide-eyed exploration of subliminal sound technology in a chapter titled "The Frequencies. " This plucky reporter actually manages to track down Dr. Oliver Lowery, owner of the patent for the Silent Subliminal Presentation System.

In fact, with typical British humor and effrontery, Ronson does a bang-up job summarizing the entire history of American Psy-Ops for the last 30 years. It's an outstanding read. Highly recommended.

Reading The Enemy's Mind: Inside Star Gate, America's Psychic Espionage Program

2008-12-14T00:39:00.000-08:00

By Paul H. Smith (2005)

http://readingtheenemysmind.com/

Available at Google Books by searching on title.

Back cover:

"From behind the cloak of U.S. military secrecy comes the story of Star Gate, the project that for nearly a quarter of a century trained soldiers and civilian spies in extra-sensory perception (ESP). Their objective: To uncover the secrets of America's enemies using a skill called "remote viewing." Assigned to the remote viewing unit in 1983 at a pivotal time in history, Army Major Paul H. Smith served there for the rest of the decade, witnessing and taking part in many of the seminal national-security crises of the twentieth century."

Relevance to Artificial Telepathy: Smith provides an overview of the key organizations and people in the U.S. Army, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the Central Intelligence Agency who have pursued the use of remote viewing and "natural" telepathy as a weapons system. It's an extraordinarily well-sourced and highly detailed account that gives names, dates and places from about 1970 forward to 2002.

The development of artificial telepathy, synthetic telepathy and psychotronic weapons has definitely followed a "Star Gate pattern." Indeed, one might think of Remote Viewing and Artificial Telepathy as the right hand and left hand of the same PsyOps program. With regard to research, organization, funding, training, doctrine, rules of engagement and operational procedures, the two telepathy programs are nearly identical. They are headed by the same key people and organizations: DIA, CIA, Army INSCOM, the Office of Naval Intelligence and the Air Force. Within the university community and the military weapons lab system, they share the same facilities.

Summary Review

Without any "official" evidence to support the claim that the U.S. military is zapping the brains of innocent civilians with acoustic weapons that mimic telepathy, one must turn to sources like Paul Smith's book, Reading The Enemy's Mind , which provides a valuable window into the DIA's Star Gate Program from its inception in 1983 to its "hijacking" by the CIA in 1995.

The book clearly indicates that certain special operations officers at the Pentagon have pursued an intense interest in telepathy for years. It indicates that the U.S. Army played a lead role in the R&D and the Army clearly intends to use telepathy as an active PsyOp weapons system. It also attests that intense telepathy research has been funded secretly for decades by the Defense Intelligence Agency and the CIA.

Much of the information provided by author Paul Smith is now outdated, but this book provides a fairly reasonable facsimile of the structure, doctrine and training of DoD personnel within present-day black programs. If there are teams of covert operatives using cutting-edge artificial telepathy systems to zap the brains of innocent civilians, then these black-op teams are probably organized much like the Remote Viewing teams described in Smith's book.

The book shows these people with a human face. It provides many photographs.

The book also beautifully illustrates the kind of political squabbling and in-fighting that still goes on between the Air Force, Army INSCOM, DIA, CIA, Congress and the academics at major universities.

About the only happy or positive conclusion one can reach is this: If the Artificial Telepathy programs run by the Army are even half as messed up as the Remote Viewing program was, then there is hope for TIs everywhere. It's quite possible the Army's "Synthetic Telepathy" program will trip over its own bootlaces, the way Stargate did, and knock itself cold.

Key People Mentioned in Smith's Book:

Maj. Gen. Albert Stubblebine III, Commanding General, U.S. Army INSCOM (ret.) Former Commanding General of the U.S. Electronics Research and Development Command (ERADCOM). Also commanded the Army intelligence school at Ft. Huachuca. Named both by Smith's book and by Jon Ronson's book The Men Who Stare at Goats (2004) as a founding father of the Army's psychic warfare programs during the early 1980s.

Ronson devotes the entire first chapter of his book to "The General." He describes Stubblebine as "the United States Army's chief of intelligence, with sixteen thousand soldiers under his command. He controls the army's signals intelligence, their photographic and technical intelligence, their numerous covert counterintelligence units, and their secret military spying units, which are scattered throughout the world. He would be in charge of the prisoner-of-war interrogations too, except this is 1983, and the war is cold, not hot. . . . His job is to assess the intelligence gathered by his soldiers and pass his evaluations on to the deputy director of the CIA and the chief of staff of the army, who in turn pass it up to the White House."

In 1981, Army INSCOM inherited Operation Grill-Flame, one of the first Remote Viewing programs, from the Defense Intelligence Agency, and Gen. Stubblebine was put in charge. Grill-Flame was renamed Operation Center Lane. The program had originally been run by Jack Verona, a nuclear physicist and head of the DIA's Scientific and Technical Intelligence Directorate, who simultaneously ran a DIA mind-control program called "Sleeping Beauty" that dealt with the offensive use of microwave weapons.

Many targetted individuals look on Col. Alexander as the Pentagon's top spook when it comes to artificial telepathy and psychic warfare. In fact he was relatively low on the totem pole, reporting to Gen. Stubblebine, who in return reported to the Army Chief of Staff.

For a more detailed profile, see the earlier post on "The Aviary" and the extensive biography on page 88 of Monarch: The New Phoenix Program by Marshall Thomas (PDF can be downloaded using the link at left).

Alexander began his military career in the Green Berets and alledgedly participated in the CIA's Phoenix program (an assassination program that killed thousands of people in Vietnam). Evidence that Alexander participated in the Phoenix program seems a bit thin, but no one denies that he was a commander of Army Special Forces teams in Thailand and Vietnam from 1966 to 1969. He "led Cambodian mercenaries behind enemy lines, and took part in a number of clandestine programs, including Phoenix," according to Steven Aftergood in a biographical sketch written for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists ("The Soft Kill Fallacy," 10 Sept 1994, v 50, No. 5, p 40).

Counter-personnel Effects on DoD Wish List

2007-02-12T20:08:00.000-08:00

The PowerPoint slide at left clearly lists the "non-lethal counter-personnel capabilities" that the United States Department of Defense wants to acquire in the next 10 to 20 years.

This slide has been taken from a presentation given in November 2001 by the commander of the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate, entitled "To The Future: Non-Lethal Capabilities Technologies in the 21st Century." Excerpts of the presentation may be found at the website of the Sunshine Project, on their "Non-Lethal Weapons Online Document Clearinghouse" page:

http://www.sunshine-project.org/incapacitants/jnlwdntar.pdf

The outline indicates that the DoD foresees development of counter-personnel weapons that "will attack a target's senses or cognitive/motor capabilities," namely the person's ability to smell, taste, feel, hear and see. The check-box clearly includes "emotion" and "motor skills" on the shopping list.

Perhaps most interesting about this list is the prediction of "accurate, long-range payload delivery along with a non-lethal delivery means." The editors at the Sunshine Project assume this must be a reference to "non-lethal" chemical weapons, delivered as mortar rounds. But could this also be a reference to the use of space-based vehicles and directed energy weapons?

The research and development of space-based psychotronic weapons would fit this wish-list admirably.

Effects Reported by Targeted Individuals

2007-02-11T17:43:00.000-08:00

The illustration at right, found at the mindjustice.org website, lists many of the effects reported by voice hearers and those individuals who believe themselves to be targeted by psycho-electronic weapons.

They bear a remarkable resemblance to the negative Human Effects envisioned by the U.S. Air Force in 1996, notably: disrupting a person's effectiveness or mission accomplishment through sleep induction, sleep deprivation, subliminal suggestions, manipulation of emotions, forced memory loss, and creation of false perception (see the last post).

A detailed list of "Psycho-Electronic Weapon Effects," found at the Synthetic Telepathy website below, exactly parallels the effects listed by the illustration at right. They are apparently from the same source, a "targeted individual" describing her personal experience. The list has been modified and altered for the sake of clarity.

The effects described appear to be a combination of Non-Lethal Weapons effects mixed with subliminal hypnosis, behavior modification and classic PSYOP harassment.

http://www.nwbotanicals.org/oak/newphysics/synthtele/synthtele.html

Many TIs have reported experiencing all or some of these effects:

Invasive At-a-Distance Body Effects (including mind):

Sleep deprivation and fatigue:

--Silent but instantaneous application of "electronic caffeine" signal, forces awake and keeps awake
--Loud noise from neighbors, usually synchronized to attempts to fall asleep
--Precision-to-the-second "allowed sleep" and "forced awakening," far too precise and repeated to be natural
--Daytime "fatigue attacks" can force the victim to sleep

Audible Voice to Skull (V2S):

--Delivered by at-a-distance radio signal
--Made to appear as emanating from thin air
--Voices or sound effects only the victim can hear

Inaudible Voice to Skull (Silent Sound):

--Delivered by at-a-distance radio signal;
--Manifested by sudden urges to do something/go somewhere
--Silent (ultrasonic) hypnosis presumed
--Programming hypnotic "triggers" - i.e., specific phrases, catchy songs, verbal hooks or other cues cause specific involuntary actions

Violent muscle triggering (flailing of limbs):

--Leg or arm jerks to violently force awake and keep awake
--Whole body jerks, as if body had been hit by large jolt of electricity
--Violent shaking of body; seemingly as if on a vibrating surface but where surface is in reality not vibrating

Precision manipulation of body parts (slow, specific purpose):

--Manipulation of hands and feet
--Slow bending almost 90 degrees backward of one toe at a time or one finger at a time
--Direct at-a-distance control of breathing and vocal cords, including involuntary speech
--Spot blanking of memory, long- and short-term

Reading said-silently-to-self thoughts:

--Engineered skits where your thoughts are spoken to you by strangers
--Real time reading sub-vocalized words, as while the victim reads a book

Direct application of pain to body parts:

--Hot-needles-deep-in-flesh sensation
--Electric shocks (no wires whatsoever applied)
--Powerful and unquenchable itching, often applied precisely
--"Artificial fever," sudden, no illness present
-- Sudden racing heartbeat in a relaxed situation

External Stress-Generating "Skits":

--Participation of strangers, neighbors in harassment
--Rudeness for no cause
--Tradesmen always have "problems," block your car, etc.
--Purchases delayed, spoiled, or lost at a high rate
--Unusually loud music, noise, far beyond normal

Break-ins/sabotage at home:

--Shredding of clothing
--Destruction of furniture
--Petty theft
--Engineered failures of utilities

Sabotage at work:

--Deletion/corruption of computer files
--Planting viruses which could not have come from your computer usage pattern
--Spreading of rumors, sabotage to your working reputation
--Direct sabotage and theft of completed work

SUMMARY OF EFFECTS

To the Brain:

--Microwave hearing of voice(s) that are not one's own
--Manipulation of emotions and attacks on self-esteem
--External induction of inappropriate thoughts
--Reading, echoing, broadcasting and scrambling thoughts
--Forced memory blanking and induced erroneous actions
--Induced changes to hearing
--Sleep prevention each night, at exactly the same time (for weeks)
--Sleep induction, often at inappropriate times
--Vivid controlled dreams, with sense of dream being forced or narrated
--Ultra-vivid forced images, as if a cartoon or photograph forced on visual field

To the Face:

--Manipulation of facial expressions
--Forced movement of jaw and clacking of teeth
--Manipulation of airways
--Externally controlled forced speech
--Artificial tinnitus (ringing in ears)

To the Body:

--Wilding racing heart without cause
--Heart palpitations without cause
--Remotely induced itching (sudden and violent, with no rash)
--Forced nudging of arm during delicate or messy work causing injury or spills
--Jolting, forced convulsions, and forced "muscle quaking"
--Forced precision manipulation of hands, sometimes synched to the forced waking visions
--Special attention to genital area: itching, forced orgasm, intense pain, "hot needles"
--Intense general pain in the legs, like stings.

Human Effects Testing and Body Modelling

2007-02-11T14:49:00.000-08:00

At right, one may see an illustration of Human Effects testing and computer characterization, as described in 2002 by Lt. Gen. Buck Bedard in a PowerPoint presentation on "The U.S. Department of Defense Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program."

This illustration also represents what many Voice Hearers or "targeted individuals" describe feeling: As if they were wrapped in a cocoon of electromagnetic energy, with holographic images of another person's body being projected upon them. The TIs often interpret this as a form of astral projection, in which a ghost, evil spirit or demon is attempting to "possess" their body.

However, the phenomenon might also be described as an advanced form of body mapping. It's as if a 3D hologram of one person's body were projected or superimposed on the body of another person. The result would be more than simple verbal telepathy: It would feel disturbingly as if another person were inside one's own skin.

When irradiated from a distance, it is possible that a highly sophisticated data collection program (similar to the facial recognition programs used at airports) could "electronically photograph" the body of a human target, eventually building an extremely accurate, computer-generated 3D model, much like the ones shown in the photo above. A similar model could be created for the assailant. A computer could then be used to merge the two body maps.

The result would be an extremely powerful means for imposing sensory hallucinations on the target: Think of it as a form of 3D "voodoo doll" into which pins could be stuck. Such computer models would also provide a powerful means of modelling and measuring the "bioeffects" of different stimuli delivered by remote radiation or beam weapons.

A commercial version of 3D body modelling software (called "Poser") is now available on the market for less than $300. It is widely used by digital artists and graphic illustrators:

http://www.e-frontier.com/go/poser

What we are describing here would be much more sophisticated, but certainly not outside the reach of military weapons labs. In fact, the Air Force Research Laboratory has developed a body modelling system for "realtime feedback of human effects and behavior effects" when testing Non-Lethal Weapons. It is called the Advanced Total Body Model (ATBM) system. A website and brochure describing ATBM may be found at this site:

http://www.iatbm.net/

While this certainly does not constitute proof that the Air Force is, in any way, testing out the "human effects" of Artificial Telepathy weapons on innocent civilians, or beaming voices into the heads of human targets, or using 3D holographic models to "virtually rape" and torture people, it suggests that the technology to do so may actually exist.

Certainly the Air Force has expressed an interest in mind control in the past. The following quote may be found at the mindjustice.org timeline, listed under the year 1996:

http://mindjustice.org/timeline.htm

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 . . . "

The Air Force Research Laboratory, in particular, has a very strong interest in testing Human Effects of pulsed weapons on human behavior for the reasons stated below.

http://www.afrlhorizons.com/Briefs/Sept02/HE0209.html

"The Council on Foreign Relations Independent Task Force report on Non-lethal Technologies concluded that a major uncertainty in the use of non-lethal weapons is the question of human effects. The Center for Strategic and International Studies reported "The significant value of strategic applications on non-lethal technologies ...was predicated on the assumption that the weapons can be made to work as advertised. It is currently not known if they can."

"Although there is a sense of urgency to field NLWs today, the need to demonstrate that weapon payloads are effective against human targets and do not cause unintended harm is critical to mission success.

"The Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program (JNLWP) began in 1996 as a Congressional initiative to provide warfighters with a family of NLW systems that have a range of optional non-lethal capabilities across the full spectrum of threats and crises. NLWs are defined as 'weapons that are explicitly designed and primarily employed so as to incapacitate personnel or materiel, while minimizing fatalities, permanent injury to personnel, and undesired damage to property and the environment.'

"The Master Plan for the JNLWP states, 'The successful use of NLWs is grounded in the user's level of confidence that consequences of their employment will decrease rather than increase the level of confrontation. To achieve this level of confidence, the health effects of the NLWs must be completely understood. Commanders in the field, when faced with the decision of which NLW to employ in a given scenario, must be able to confidently predict the most probable effects on people.' Human effects are fundamentally crucial elements of non-lethal weapons development and employment.

"Establishing an NLW human effects capability has been on a fast track over the last few years. First, the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons (JNLW) Integrated Product Team chartered the Human Effects Process Action Team (HEPAT). Then, the HEPAT briefed the concept for the JNLW Human Effects Center of Excellence (HECOE) to the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD). The HEPAT subsequently recommended that the DoD should establish a DoD NLW HECOE to serve as the centralized resource to ensure human effects of NLWs are adequately addressed as early as possible in the development and acquisition cycle and throughout the life cycle of the weapon system.

"AFRL and the JNLWD signed an historic Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on June 7, 2001 at Brooks Air Force Base, Texas, that launched a new era in NLW development and established the HECOE . . . . The JNLWD selected the Human Effec-tiveness Directorate to manage the new HECOE based on the strength of its many contributions to non-lethal technologies effectiveness research during the last decade.

"NLW bioeffects has been a research competency for AFRL and its predecessors for over ten years. AFRL is one of many resources available to carry out JNLW-funded human effects research identified by the HECOE. The MOA between the JNLWD and AFRL provides the foundation for tapping scientific expertise throughout AFRL.

"Human effects are widely recognized as the "long-pole-in-the-tent" for most aspects of NLW operational utility, technical feasibility, and policy acceptability. The HECOE is the human effects "one-stop-shop" resource for NLW program managers, ensuring they have the data needed to make informed and educated decisions.

"Among other duties, the HECOE is developing a central repository of human effects data. The HECOE will analyze human effects for NLW program managers and recommend research to fill identified data gaps, coordinate human effects modeling and research efforts, and maintain a listing of qualified agencies capable of conducting research, testing, and analyses.

"Colonel George Fenton, JNLWD Director, emphasizes characterizing human effects as a foundation and core element of the JNLW program. The level of risk of injury or lethality to targets and the probability that a weapon will be effective against a spectrum of targets is important information for the weapon developer and the users in the field.

"To provide a solid foundation for characterizing the target response effects and the risks of unintended effects, the HECOE brought together a panel of world-class experts on risk assessment, medicine, and decision analysis who worked with DoD NLW subject matter experts, materiel developers, and program managers. This very successful workshop produced a report on risk characterization framework.

". . . . The HECOE published human effects evaluations on four candidate NLWs and is assessing data on stingball blunt impact and TASER® electroshock. NLW program managers are establishing working relationships with the HECOE, and management of the associated human effects research programs is currently on a reimbursable basis. "

Close Up: Dr. Michael Murphy, Chief of the Human Effects Directorate's Radio Frequency Radiation Bioeffects Branch, Air Force Research Lab

2007-02-10T16:03:00.000-08:00

Dr. Michael R. Murphy works at the Air Force Research Laboratory's Human Effectiveness Radio Frequency Radiation Branch (HEDR) at Brooks-City Air Force Base, near San Antonio, TX. He has "an extensive research career in radio-frequency (RF) bioeffects research and international collaboration for RF bioeffects," according to AFRL's Human Effectiveness Directorate Newsletter for November, 2006.

Dr. Murphy is apparently an associate of the Dr. Kenneth Boff, the Chief Scientist of the Human Effectiveness Directorate in 1998.

See: http://www.tokyo.afosr.af.mil/ASL/asl18.html

Biographical notes are scanty, but some information can be gathered from the following source:

http://www.zoominfo.com/Search/PersonDetail.aspx?PersonID=9224223

He earned a BS in psychology from Occidental College, Los Angeles, and a PhD in neuroscience from MIT. In 1982 he returned to his home town for a position with the U.S. Air Force, first working on prophylactics/treatments for chemical warfare agents, and then moving to radio frequency bioeffects in 1992. From 1994-2004 he was Chief or the USAF Radio Frequency Radiation Branch. He is a member of the Bioelectromagnetics Society, the Directed Energy Professional Society, the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, and the IEEE Standards Board. He is active is the IEEE International Committee for Electromagnetic Safety, for which he serves as International Liaison.

The photograph of Dr. Murphy (above right) and the biographical information (below) are taken from the announcement of the Air Force Science and Engineering award he received in 2003:

http://www.afrl.af.mil/successstories/2003/awards_and_recognition/03-he-26.pdf

Accomplishment

"The United States Air Force presented Dr. Michael R. Murphy, Chief of the Human Effects Directorate's Radio Frequency Radiation Bioeffects Branch, the U.S. Air Force 2002 Science and Engineering Annual Award for Achievement in Areas of Exploratory or Advanced Technology Development. Dr. Murphy directed efforts to document human effects data in support of Non-Lethal Weapons (NLWs) and is the Chair of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Technology Group on the Human Effects of Non-Lethal Technologies.

"Dr. Murphy provided Air Force capabilities and expertise in support of the Department of Defense (DoD) Executive Agent for NLWs through the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD). Dr. Murphy led research and risk communication efforts in support of the human effects of a unique microwave-based, anti-personnel, non-lethal weapon called an Active Denial System (ADS).

". . . . Due to his technical expertise and support of expanded human effects research of non-lethal weapons, his group earned the designation and funding as the Joint Non-Lethal Human Effects Center of Excellence in the DoD."

In October, 2004, Dr. Murphy spoke at the "75th Shock and Vibration Symposium" hosted by SAVIAC, the Shock and Vibration Information Analysis Center.
http://www.saviac.org/75th_Symposium/preliminary_program.htm

He is listed as an employee of Lawrence Livermore National Lab, which suggests he left AFRL. However, Dr. Murphy apparently still occupies a post of some importance at the HECOE. In August 2006, he was granted a fellowship award, one of AFRL's "highest honors."

http://www.afrl.af.mil/news/aug06/features/afrl_fellows.pdf

As recently as November 2, 2006, he spoke at the Ninth Annual Directed Energy Symposium of the Directed Energy Professional Society. See:

Focus On: The Air Force Research Lab

2007-02-08T22:38:00.000-08:00

Headquartered at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) was "formed in October 1997 as the product of an organizational consolidation that integrated previously separate Air Force laboratories (Armstrong, Phillips, Rome and Wright-Patterson) with the Air Force Office of Scientific Research," according to the AFRL website.

http://www.afrlhorizons.com/About/

The AFRL employs more than 9,600 people and consists of 10 directorates, situated across the country. (For a list of the directorates see the link above.) They oversee the Air Force's $1.2 billion annual Science & Technology (S&T) program. AFRL is considered one of the best, if not the best, research lab run by the Department of Defense.

According to the AFRL's "Mission & Vision" statement, "We defend America by unleashing the power of innovative science and technology"

An advertisement recently placed at usajobs.com echoes AFRL's obsession with lasers, phasers, satellites and other James Bond-like weapons: "The men and women of AFRL are creating the Air Force of the future -- turning science fiction into science fact."

Is this just the empty verbal posturing of an Air Force recruiter trying to make a ho-hum lab job sound exciting? Or could it be true?

In the last few posts, we saw evidence that AFRL plays a lead role in the DoD's efforts to develop "Artificial Telepathy" weapons, under cover of the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program. Specifically, the chief scientist of the AFRL's Directed Energy Directorate (the "people zapping" unit) has stated that

"By studying and modeling the human brain and nervous system, the ability to mentally influence or confuse personnel is also possible. Through sensory deception, it may be possible to create synthetic images, or holograms, to confuse an individual' s visual sense or, in a similar manner, confuse his senses of sound, taste, touch, or smell."

See Dr. William L. Baker's article at the AFRL website:
http://www.afrlhorizons.com/Briefs/Jun04/DE0401.html

The Directed Energy Directorate and the Space Vehicles Directorate are both located at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., at the site of the former Phillips Laboratory. The fact that they are located right next to each other clearly implies that both directorates share a common mission: using space vehicles to zap people on Earth.

Both of these directorates are linked to a third, and very important, AFRL facility: AMOS, The Air Force Maui Optical & Supercomputing Site. AMOS has a two-fold mission: First, it conducts R&D using the Maui Space Surveillance System (MSSS) at the Maui Space Surveillance Complex (MSSC). Second, it oversees operations at the Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC). See http://www.maui.afrrc.af.mil/about.html

AMOS has a unique capablity: "the capability of projecting lasers into the atmosphere, which is unusual at astronomical sites." Those among the tin-foil-beanie crowd who believe that the government is beaming voices into their heads will find very little comfort in this fact. Given that people-zapping seems to be one of AFRL's favorite hobbies, why not look upon AMOS with some discomfort? Modelling the effects of beam weapons upon a human brain would certainly require supercomputers, and that's exactly what the military scientists at AMOS possess.

In the last post, we examined the command and control structure of the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program (JNLWP), and it clearly indicates that AFRL plays a lead role in the JNLWP's study of Human Effects or Bioeffects, that is, the controlled effects that directed energy beams may have upon human minds and human behavior.

In fact, AFRL has an entire directorate, based at Wright Patterson AFB, devoted to the study of Human Effects (HE). They explore such research topics as "Three-Dimensional Audio Technology," "Microwave Research on Memory Loss," "Non-Lethal Weapons Human Effects," "Auditory Distance Perception of Speech," and "Three-Dimensional Auditory Localization of Nearby Sources."

The HE directorate oversees a secretive "Warfighter Training Research Division" at Mesa, AZ and the Human Effects Center of Excellence (HECOE) located at Brooks-City AFB, San Antonio, TX. HECOE operates a "Directed Energy Bioeffects Division, Radio Frequency Radiation Branch," which did the "Microwave Research on Memory Loss" mentioned above.

See: http://www.afrlhorizons.com/Briefs/Aug04/HE0302.html

Nearby neighbors in the San Antonio region include:

The Joint Information Operations Warfare Command (JIOWC) at Lackland AFB, and
The Air Force Information Warfare Battlelab (AFIOC), also at Lackland AFB.

JIOWC, is "responsible for planning, integrating and coordinating the information operations core capabilities of electronic warfare, operations security and military deception, and integrating psychological operations in support of Joint Force Commanders."

See Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Information_Operations_Center

AFIOC is "engaged in a myriad of activities supporting its role as the Air Force's information warfare executive agent. It integrates information warfare tactics, training and technology for combatant commanders. The center is comprised of about 1,000 military and civilian members trained in the areas of operations, engineering, operations research, intelligence, radar technology and communications and computer applications."
http://www.aia.af.mil/units/afioc/index.asp

The data gathered by AFIOC, which is run by the Air Intelligence Agency, is most likely shared with another branch of the Air Intelligence Agency: The National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), located at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. (You may recall that the Air Force Research Laboratory is also headquartered at Wright Patterson).

See NASIC's home page at:
http://www.aia.af.mil/units/nasic.asp

NASIC is "the primary Department of Defense producer of foreign aerospace intelligence" and it operates a "Behavioral Influences Analysis (BIA) Division." The BIA employs a variety of "analytical tools for Behavioral Influences Operations" and integrates these Behavioral Influence Operations with the DoD's overall PSYOP planning.

Translation: AFRL's Human Effects lab in San Antonio is running in tandem with the DoD's premiere "Information Operation" centers in San Antonio, and together they are all serving DoD's PSYOP (mind control) planners.

Those who believe that the U.S. Department of Defense does not engage in mind control operations are cordially invited to read the definition of Influence Operations (IO) contained on Air University's "Cyberspace and Information Operations" page:

http://www.au.af.mil/info-ops/influence.htm

According to this website, the Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC) employs social scientists and engineers to develop "influence" models and methodologies. The Defense Intelligence Agency's Human Factors Analysis Center (HFAC) performs "the analysis of key national leaders and the analysis of key systems operators." The Joint Information Operations Center in San Antonio, TX, acts as a "Precision Influence Cell."

All of this PSYOP technology is most certainly employed as a weapon. See, for example, the article "Mapping the Minds in Iraq's Regime" by William M. Arkin in the Los Angeles Times, September 1, 2002.

http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/results.html?QryTxt=mapping+the+mind

Does the U.S. government use "influence" operations and PSYOP strategies against foreign civilians? Well, yes, but they don't call it PSYOP. When dealing with civilians, they prefer to use the term "Perception Management." The following definition is rather enlightening:

perception management - (DOD Dictionary) Actions to convey and/or deny selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning as well as to intelligence systems and leaders at all levels to influence official estimates, ultimately resulting in foreign behaviors and official actions favorable to the originator's objectives. In various ways, perception management combines truth projection, operations security, cover and deception, and psychological operations. See also psychological operations.

For some sobering reading on perception war and perception operations, see:

http://www.au.af.mil/info-ops/perception.htm

Given the powerful suite of psychological weapons and tools available to the Department of Defense, is it so difficult to believe that government officials at the top of the command chain would use the same tools when trying to "manage" the perceptions of U.S. citizens?

Given the AFRL's intense interest in studying the "human effects" of directed energy weapons on the human mind, is it so difficult to believe that they might want to test their fun new toys on the minds of innocent civilians?

How else are such weapons to be tested in a real-world environment?

JOINT NON-LETHAL WEAPONS FIELD AGENT PROGRAM MANAGERS

Names, organization and command structure not know.

At this point, when technology is ready for testing "Human Effects" in the field, description of the command chain evaporates. The reason is simple: It is illegal to conduct human experimentation on U.S. citizens without their consent. That does not mean that DoD is not conducting experiments on humans without their consent. On the contrary, it makes sense to field-test these weapons on humans in realistic "urban enviornments."

If such HE programs do exist, they are highly classified. Officially they don't exist at all.

FIELD AGENTS: Organization not known. However, we can deduce reasonably that they are drawn heavily from military police units of all Services, especially the Special Operations Command (SOCOM). We also know one of the schools where they train (below).

Who Runs The Program, Part II

2007-02-04T22:56:00.000-08:00

In the last post we examined the highest levels of U.S. military command structure: The Office of the President, the National Security Council, The Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. These are the people who are definitely responsible for making the policy decisions that put secret weapon programs into place.

For photos and biographies of the "Top Leaders" in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) see:

www.defenselink.mil/osd/topleaders.aspx

The org chart (above) gives a nice overview of the Department of Defense command structure. A good PDF version of the org chart may be found here:

http://www.dod.mil/odam/omp/pubs/GuideBook/Pdf/DoD.PDF

It's important to understand each component. Additional articles may be found at:

http://www.fas.org/main/content.jsp?formAction=297&contentId=198
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_of_the_United_States_Armed_Forces

In the next few posts, we will examine key players who oversee Artificial Telepathy weapons, which have been developed under cover of the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program.

Because the JNLWP is a Joint Program, the officers in charge of oversight include: The Deputy Secretary of Defense, The Secretary of the Army, The Secretary of the Navy, The Secretary of the Air Force, the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, The Under Secretary of Defense for AT&L, The Under Secretary of Defense for Science and Technology (S&T), and the commanders of the Special Operations Command (SOCOM).

On paper the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines are all working together with the Combatant Commands and with the Under Secretaries as a team. But in fact there are some huge egos at this command level and tremendous rivalries between the services. Each department competes fiercely with the others for funding and each looks for ways to surpass or outperform the others in the field.

The top managers are fully aware of these rivalries, and the budget for the DoD's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons program is therefore divided between all these competing services and departments, just as one would divide the pieces of a pie.

We will have to profile and examine each entity within the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate in order to understand fully the Pentagon's secret Artificial Telepathy program. It's a highly complex, system-wide program, that draws from almost every service, agency, lab, college and command in the DoD.

For now, let it suffice to say:

1) What we are calling "Artificial Telepathy" seems to fall under the general DoD heading of Non-Lethal Weapons

2) The Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program is headquartered at Quantico, VA

3) As a Joint program, all of the services play a role: Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines and Special Ops Directorate

4) DARPA probably runs technology transfer from a large number of civilian universities

5) Each military service has their own set of research labs and war colleges doing additional R&D
6) The Battle Labs and Research Labs of the DoD cooperate to design the final weapon systems

7) The Army War College, Naval War College, Air War College, etc. provide doctrinal training to users

8) Doctrine falls under the headings of Perception Management, Information Ops, PSYOP, Cognitive Systems, Cognitive Engineering, Personnel Effects, Human Effects and Electronic Warfare systems

9) Field agents may be recruited from specialty DoD branches and the U.S. Intelligence Community

10) After selection, field training may be conducted by Special Operations Command

11) All methods used are highly classified and security is extremely tight

12) Legal cover for domestic operations must be provided by FBI or local law enforcement

13) Targeted individuals are carefully profiled, and may live near research labs

14) Targeted individuals may be used as guinea pigs for "Human Effects" research

15) Results data are fed back into the research community for further refinement of hardware, doctrine

16) Sanitized product may be shared system-wide among Defense Agencies and Intelligence Community

Who Runs the Program, Part I

2007-01-28T16:10:00.000-08:00

So far we have we have presented abundant evidence that Artificial Telepathy exists, and that the U.S. government has pursued research and development of psychotronic weapons since the 1950s. The question arises whether this research has resulted in production of an actual weapons program, and, if so, who runs the program?

In the last post few posts, we have seen evidence that the United States has certainly continued to research and develop mind control technology, and we have examined reasons why the resulting weapons systems are most probably hidden under cover of the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program (JNLWP).

The Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program needs to be examined in much closer detail. But first we need to step back and take a look at the big picture. Only by understanding who runs the U.S. Department of Defense and who has ultimate control over all DoD weapons programs can we begin to understand who controls psychotronic weapons.

In this post we will examine the overall command structure of the Defense Department, from the top down. As we gain a better understanding of how the DoD and the U.S. Intelligence Community entertwine with local law enforcement agencies, we will begin to understand just how daunting a task lies before anyone who wishes to challenge the legality of a single U.S. military weapons program.

Artificial Telepathy weapons are most likely entertwined with many different weapons systems developed by the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program, and sorting out the "good" technology from the "bad" technology may prove very difficult indeed.

Certainly the following officers are responsible for preventing the "bad" or illegal and illegitimate use of any weapons system:

The President of the United States

As the Commander-in-Chief (CINC) of all U.S. military forces and head of the nation's Executive Branch, the President of the United States manages and oversees all military and intelligence programs. If one wants to find someone to blame for anything that the U.S. military or the U.S. intelligence community have done, he makes an easy target. In the end, he bears responsibility for the decisions made on his watch and for all the National Security Defense Directives signed on his desk. The buck stops there. And he knows it.

The Office of the President will therefore most likely be very hostile to any public exposure of an "intelligence gathering method" that allows the President to peek inside the minds of his enemies and political opponents. Artificial Telepathy is a secret weapon that the President would like to keep secret -- especially if he signed any documents authorizing development or use of the weapon.

Congressional Oversight

The Legislative Branch of government also plays an important role in military and intelligence oversight. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) authorize appropriations for each program, and they carry out oversight investigations and inquiries as required. If the president or any of his subalterns have failed to inform these Congressional committees of the existence of a secret weapons program, or the domestic use of such weapons in a secret intelligence operation, then they have broken the law.

See: http://www.intelligence.gov/1-relationships.shtml

In theory, any complaint about the use of Artificial Telepathy weapons on U.S. citizens could be brought before the SSCI or the HPSCI. Whether a complaint would get that far is another question.

The National Security Council (NSC)

Directly beneath the president are his advisors on the National Security Council. The president is the chairman of the National Security Council, which meets in the White House Situation Room. The NSC includes: The Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. The president almost always asks other advisors to be present, including the Attorney General, the Counsel to the President, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence.

For more information, see: http://www.whitehouse.gov/nsc/

We are most interested in the command structure that governs covert use of secret weapons, and so we will focus here on the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Director of National Intelligence.

The Secretary of Defense

Among the three presidential advisors just mentioned, The Secretary of Defense carries the most clout.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) may speak for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, but he and the other generals and admirals on the JCS are all subordinate to the Secretary of Defense.

Likewise, the Director of National Intelligence may oversee the entire Intelligence Community. But about 85 percent of the intelligence budget goes to agencies that fall under the heading of the DOD. The National Security Agency (NSA), The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and several other military intelligence branches all answer to the Secretary of Defense.

The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) carries immense sway in the intelligence world, and beneath the OSD aegis operate an entire bevy of very busy bees: The Assistant Secretaries of Defense and the Undersecretaries of Defense.

For an overview of the OSD, see: http://www.defenselink.mil/osd/

The worker bees at the Pentagon, especially the Undersecretary of Defense for Science and Technology, are probably the people with the most hands-on knowledge of secret weapons programs. They are the ones who will "take a bullet" and resign if any major scandal erupts before the Congressional oversight commitees.

They therefore have a strong personal interest in seeing that secret weapons programs remain entirely secret.

The Director of National Intelligence

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) oversees 15 different intelligence agencies, known collectively as the U.S. Intelligence Community.

For a 40-page PDF Overview of the United States Intelligence Community (IC), see this link:

http://www.dni.gov/who_what/061222_DNIHandbook_Final.pdf

The home page of the ODNI can be found here: http://www.dni.gov/index.htm

An especially helpful organization chart showing the command structure of the ODNI can be found here: http://www.dni.gov/aboutODNI/organization.htm

Because our focus in the present post is on the command structure of the Department of Defense, we will come back to the ODNI and the U.S. Intelligence community later. It is sufficient here to note that the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense are very tightly interlocked. In fact, Congress created the office of the Director of National Intelligence specifically to put an end to all the rivalries between competing intelligence agencies.

The goal is the fusion and integration of all intelligence agencies under one management structure. Whether that goal will be met remains to be seen.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

According to Wikipedia, The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) "is a group comprising the chiefs of service of each major branch of the armed services in the United States armed forces . . . . After the 1986 reorganization of the military undertaken by the Goldwater Nichols Act, the Joint Chiefs of Staff do not have operational command of U.S. military forces. Responsibility for conducting military operations goes from the President to the Secretary of Defense directly to the heads of the Unified Combatant Commands, and thus bypasses the Joint Chiefs of Staff completely."

See the original Wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Chiefs_of_Staff

Although their role now is strictly advisory, the Joint Chiefs still constitute "the second highest deliberative body for military policy, after the National Security Council."

If there is such a thing as a top secret plan to build Artificial Telepathy weapons, and if the program is anywhere near as large as the Manhattan Project, the four-star generals on the JCS certainly know about it.

If such a weapons system exists and they don't know about it, there is going to be hell to pay.

A Top Secret Program Hidden in Plain Sight

2007-01-27T22:58:00.000-08:00

Was Artificial Telepathy developed by the NSA, the CIA, the FBI, Homeland Security, NASA or the U. S. military?

This question unreasonably assumes that a single agency or laboratory could research and develop such an exotic weapon all alone. It’s much more reasonable to assume that all of these agencies have combined forces. They’ve probably hidden their secret weapon in plain sight: Under the aegis of the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program.

See the JNLWP’s home page at:
https://www.jnlwp.com/

For a brief history of the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program, see:
http://www.iniwic.net/

For several articles on Non-Lethal Weapons, see:

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/non-lethal.htm

The Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program would provide perfect cover for an Artificial Telepathy program for several reasons.

First, an Artificial Telepathy weapon would naturally fall into the category of Non-Lethal Weapons. Artificial Telepathy is a weapon, but it does not kill. In fact, Artificial Telepathy is a perfect match for several of the core mission applications of Non-Lethal Weapons, namely: Counter-Personnel Operations, Crowd Control, Operations Other Than War (OOTW), Electronic Warfare, Information Operations, and Psychological Operations.

See: http://www.unh.edu/ntic/why.shtml

Second, as a weapons system, Artificial Telepathy requires the combination of Directed Energy Weapons (weapons that direct laser, microwave, millimeter wave and infrared energy at targets), high-tech sensors, space-based platforms and supercomputers capable of simulating the behavior of a human brain. The laboratories that serve JNLWP provide all of that. For an overview of the jaw-dropping capabilities of the labs that support the JNLWP, see the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Links page at:

https://www.jnlwp.com/Links.asp

Third, the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program brings together weapons scientists from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and all branches of the U.S. military – Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard. The JNLWP is headquartered at Quantico, VA, home of the FBI training academy. What better place to base an inter-service mind control program?

Fourth, as a joint military-civilian program, the JNLWP provides the perfect means for sharing military weapons technology with law enforcement agencies. The military has no legal right to perform domestic surveillance operations, but the Department of Justice (which oversees the FBI) does. With the help of the FBI and other law enforcement intelligence units, the JNLWP can take military personnel from the Special Operations Division, "sheepdip" them (that is, put them in civilian clothes with valid law enforcement credentials) and send them to work zapping people under the guise of counterintelligence or counterterrorism operations.

Finally, evidence from the open literature suggests that those military scientists most strongly associated with the research of Artificial Telepathy are also very strongly associated with Non-Lethal Weapons. For example, Lt. Col. John Alexander, a man notorious for his telepathy experiments at Psi-Tech, was until 1995 Los Alamos National Laboratory’s manager of non-lethal defense research. He has also been instrumental in organizing three Non-Lethal Weapons conventions. Likewise, Dr. William L. Baker, Chief Scientist at the Directed Energy Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory, Kirtland Air Force Base, NM has reported that his lab plans to build anti-personnel weapons based on "cognitive engineering." The result may be a wide range of Non-Lethal Weapons with human effects similar to those associated with Artificial Telepathy.

See David Hambling’s article "Air Force Plan: Hack Your Nervous System" at:
http://www.defensetech.org/archives/002152.html

See Dr. Baker's description of "Controlled Personnel Effects" here:
http://www.afrlhorizons.com/Briefs/Jun04/DE0401.html

"For the Controlled Personnel Effects capability, the S&T panel explored the potential for targeting individuals with nonlethal force, from a militarily useful range, to make selected adversaries think or act according to our needs. . . . By studying and modeling the human brain and nervous system, the ability to mentally influence or confuse personnel is also possible. Through sensory deception, it may be possible to create synthetic images, or holograms, to confuse an individual' s visual sense or, in a similar manner, confuse his senses of sound, taste, touch, or smell."

Dr. Baker’s laboratory, the Air Force Research Laboratory, serves as one of the core research facilities used by the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate. See their home page:

http://www.afrl.af.mil/

AFRL controls a vast array of exotic laser and microwave weapons, and it has its very own Space Directorate and satellite system. The AFRL’s Directed Energy Directorate has a budget of more than $300 million per year.

In other words, the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program could certainly ask AFRL to launch an Artificial Telepathy program, and AFRL has the capabilities to do so.

Artificial Telepathy: A "Non-Lethal" Weapon?

2007-01-26T21:40:00.000-08:00

Artificial Telepathy machine cannot possibly be advertised and sold on the open market for obvious reasons: they would utterly destroying the privacy of many, many people. "Peeking" into the lives of others would quickly pervert itself into stalking, mind rape, privacy violation, identity theft and information theft on a massive scale.

Public sale of Artificial Telepathy technology would inevitably result in the stealing of bank account numbers, PIN numbers, passwords, trade secrets, etc., which in turn would inevitably translate into actual theft. The damage to the economy could be catastrophic, and the sudden disappearance of privacy – all privacy – might literally cause society as we know it to melt down.

For all of these reasons, Artificial Telepathy may be rightly called a "non-lethal" H-Bomb. The damage done to society by release of such technology would be nightmarish. See for example the dystopian film Strange Days (1995, starring Ralph Fiennes) in which dream thieves use a technology called "SQUID" to jack into the minds of people, record their experiences, and sell those experiences on disc:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_Days_(film)

See also the film "Artificial Telepathy" (Dir. Mitchell Cox), from which the movie poster (above) is taken:

http://homepage.eircom.net/~visualaffects/vault/details/15196.html

No one would die as a direct result of the Artificial Telepathy’s use. It is a "non-lethal weapon."
But nothing would ever be the same again.

Most scientists and lawyers understand this. Indeed, if the maker of an Artificial Telepathy weapon tried to sell the product on the open market, the number of people who would line up to sue that manufacturer would probably circle the Earth.

Third in line would be a lawyer representing every voice-hearer and human rights advocate in the Western hemisphere. That’s a large number of people.

Second in line would be a lawyer bringing a massive class-action suit joined by every paranoid corporation that has a trade secret to hide. That is, almost every corporation in the world.

First in line would be the United States government. Every copy of the machine, its blueprints, and its patent documents, would be immediately seized and locked away on the grounds of national security.

The miltary reasons for grabbing up this technology and suppressing it are obvious: With Artificial Telepathy, there is no such thing as a surprise attack. And without the element of surprise, war becomes impossible. Artificial Telepathy machines could potentially put every single G.I. Joe at the DOD out of work. And as far as the Department of Defense is concerned, any technology that puts them out of work is a weapon of mass destruction.

Even if it doesn’t kill anyone.

Translation: No one gets one of these weapons but Uncle Sam. The United States Department of Defense has no objections to weapons of mass destruction. It just objects to anyone else owning one.

Although any government would strictly forbid public ownership of such technology, every government would certainly want to use the Artificial Telepathy machine itself. Far from destroying such a weapon, most military service branches would probably compete for possession of one, as would every law enforcement organization and every intelligence agency under the sun. Some would argue that the machine ought to be destroyed, but others would find that the lure of knowing exactly what the "enemy" is thinking is far too intoxicating to pass up.

An Artificial Telepathy weapon is, after all, a spy agency’s dream.

Conclusion: If or (more properly) when an Artificial Telepathy machine is developed, it will certainly be classified as a weapon – specifically a "Non-Lethal Weapon." It will never be released on the public market. The public will be given no clue that it exists, and the military branches of different countries will fight fiercely among themselves for possession of this cool new toy.

Within the U.S. military branches, the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines will probably squabble with the intelligence community, law enforcement and the Department of Justice for possession and control, then finally settle on a scheme for sharing control among themselves. Most likely they will combine forces (and budgets) to build and manage new weapons based on the first Artificial Telepathy technology. If the weapons work, everyone will claim to be the proud Papa. If the cover is blown, and Congress launches a massive investigation, the program will be orphaned. Everyone can back off and point fingers at each other.

Joining forces means everyone wins, and nobody is to blame.

Given this conclusion, we can now ask ourselves a simple question: Where would the military hide its deep-black research program into Artificial Telepathy, if such technology exists?

Answer: They would hide Artificial Telepathy under cover of a Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program.

Question: Does such an organization exist? Answer: Oh yes. See the next post.

The Militarization of Neuroscience

2007-01-23T21:25:00.000-08:00

When military scientists begin to combine "cognitive engineering" and neuroscience with genetic engineering, we could see a nightmarish new generation of biological weapons and nerve agents that radically alter the minds, emotions, memories and beliefs of everyone on earth.

That's the opinion of Mark Wheelis and Malcolm Dando, authors of "Neurobiology: A Case Study of the Imminent Militarization of Biology" published September 30, 1995 in the International Review of the Red Cross. See this site for a PDF of the full article:

http://www.icrc.org/Web/Eng/siteeng0.nsf/html/review-859-p553

Abstract: The revolution in biology, including advances in genomics, will lead to rapid progress in the treatment of mental illness by advancing the discovery of highly specific ligands that affect specific neurological pathways. The status of brain science and its potential for military application to enhance soldier performance, to develop new weapons and to facilitate interrogation are discussed. If such applications are pursued, they will also expand the options available to torturers, dictators and terrorists. Several generic approaches to containing the malign applications of biology are shown, and it is concluded that success or failure in doing so will be significantly dependent on the active involvement of the scientific and medical communities.

Translation: The medical community has got to stop sitting on its duff and get some international legislation passed prohibiting the development of these bioweapons NOW.

I would add: An equally serious effort needs to be made to block military application of EM weapons to the human brain. The pretence that such weapons are "less than lethal" is a serious misunderstanding of the immense threat that they pose to the privacy and civil liberties of every man, woman and child on the face of the globe.

1990s: The Decade of The Brain

2007-01-20T18:54:00.000-08:00

The military's early mind control research has already been documented in this blog. However, a very important period in the chronology of Artificial Telepathy needs more attention: The 1990s.

Recent efforts by voice-hearers to prove that they are the victims of Artificial Telepathy and other exotic voice-to-skull (V2K) technologies go largely unheeded by the public because most people remain blissfully unaware of the quantum leaps that neuroscience made during the 1990s.

In 1989, President George H.W. Bush declared the 1990s to be the "Decade of the Brain." See:

http://www.loc.gov/loc/brain/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade_of_the_Brain

Just as the United States brought the full force of its scientific community to bear on the problems of splitting the atom in the 1930s and 1940s, so too did the U.S. bring its full force to bear on the problem of penetrating the inner sanctum of the human mind during the 1980s and 1990s. The motive for both research thrusts was much the same: breakthroughs in quantum theory indicated that an extremely important threshhold in our understanding of the way the world works had been reached, and the United States wanted to be the first to cross that threshhold.

For some interesting Wikipedia article on the revolutionary new theories of Quantum Mind and Quantum Brain Dynamics, see these links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mind

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_brain_dynamics

Overtly, Quantum Brain theory was presented to the public as an exciting field of investigation, pursued by brilliant professors at various universities, whose goal was to develop "pure and theoretical" knowledge that would be published in the open literature for the benefit of all mankind. Benevolent applications of the resulting neurotechnology might include cures for Alzheimers, epilepsy, schizophrenia, cerebral palsy and Parkinson's. With an amazingly accurate computer map and Quantum model of the brain, the deaf could be made to hear, the blind could be made to see, the mute might be able to talk, and the lame could be helped to walk. New breakthroughs could lead to some amazing medical miracles.

But covertly, the military and its contractors saw in Quantum Brain theory, neural networks and Artificial Intelligence the potential for developing some incredibly powerful and devastating super-weapons. As with most technologies, the resulting neurotechnology could be "dual use." Highly accurate brain maps and supercomputer models that could help and heal people might also be used to control, manipulate and destroy them.

It doesn't take a superbrain to see how much military power lies in the ability to seize remote control of another human's mind.

Controlled Personnel Effects and "Cognitive Engineering"

In his article "Air Force Plan: Hack Your Nervous System", David Hambling provides an interesting overview of how the military plans to use its new brain models for "Active Denial Systems" and "Controlled Personnel Effects." See his article at DefenseTech.org

http://www.defensetech.org/archives/002152.html

The article provides a link to an article titled "Controlled Effects" written by scientists working for the the Air Force Research Laboratory's Directed Energy Directorate (which Hambling refers to as the Air Force "people zapping" unit).

http://www.afrlhorizons.com/Briefs/Jun04/DE0401.html

The Air Force Science & Technology (S&T) panel makes the following statement:

"By studying and modelling the human brain and nervous system, the ability to mentally influence or confuse personnel is also possible. Through sensory deception, it may be possible to create synthetic images, or holograms, to confuse an individual's visual sense or, in a similar manner, confuse his senses of sound, touch, taste or smell. Through cognitive engineering, scientists can develop a better understanding of how an individual's cognitive processes (pattern recognition, visual conditioning, and difference detection) affect his decision-making processes. Once understood, scientists could use these cognitive models to predict a person's behavior under a variety of conditions with the potential to affect an adversary's mission accomplishment via a wide range of personnel effects."

The Air Force S&T panel suggests this technology will be available by 2020. Voice Hearers are saying that it's here now, and it's being used, today. They consider themselves to be the guinea pigs on which these mind-bending weapons are being tested.

If true, this means the U.S. government has deliberately chosen to target and torture its own citizens. The implications are chilling.

In fact, if supercomputer models of the Quantum Brain were combined with "cognitive engineering" and the proper space-based sensors, these weapons offer the power to influence and control the minds of vast numbers of people, both individually and collectively. The political systems and economies of entire countries could be tampered with.

If the same scientists perfect a method to read thoughts remotely, patents and intellectual property could be stolen on a massive scale. No PIN number, account number or secret password would be safe.

The mood of crowds and entire cities could be changed and manipulated. An entire army could potentially be blinded and stopped in its tracks, paralyzed. War plans, orders of battle, and secrets held in the minds of enemy generals and spies could be monitored and plucked with incredible ease, perhaps scrambled or even altered and replanted.

People could be made to walk in front of buses. Normal law abiding citizens could be hypnotized and programmed as assassins. By simply seizing control of the mind of a single man at the control panel of a nuclear missile silo . . . .

Put bluntly: neuroweapons are more powerful than atomic weapons. They threaten to punch a hole in the shield that protects our entire nuclear weapons network. Even nuclear launch codes are not safe from intrusion.

Apparently the Pentagon decided in the 1980s and 1990s that it was imperative that the U.S. military understand "cognitive engineering" and build a new generation of "controlled personnel effects" weapons, before anyone else did. In parallel with the open and overt research performed at universities across the nation, the Defense Department began its own highly classified, covert weapons program, based at military weapons labs and linked to the university system through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

These neuroweapon engineers immediately ran into a problem: how could they get professors and some of the star researchers in the public sector involved? They needed to push the entire field of neuroscience to work faster, they needed a public relations front, and they needed to hook some of the best minds into a new network that would help them siphon off the best research. Result:

The Decade of the Brain.

In early 1989, the United States Congress, by House joint Resolution 174, designated the decade beginning January 1, 1990, as the "Decade of the Brain" and it authorized and requested President George Herbert Walker Bush to issue a proclamation in observance of this occasion.

Joint Resolution 174 became Public Law 101-58, and on 17 July 1989, President Bush issued his proclamation, which launched one of the most massive build-ups in brain research ever undertaken by mankind. The president's proclamation can be found at this link:

http://www.neurolab.jsc.nasa.gov/presproc.htm

Comparing this one-decade, all-out push for brain research to the Manhattan Project or the Apollo space mission to reach the Moon would be very apt. The expenditure was that enormous, and the results of a one-decade effort were indeed amazing. Yet the program received none of the press attention lavished on the Atomic Bomb or the Moon landing, and it fell far short of its stated goal of "conquering brain disease." Schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, Epilepsy, Huntington's Disease, Muscular Dystrophy and other nervous disorders are still very much with us.

What did result from this intensive, one-decade research project?

The public record indicates that several important research programs and networks were established and funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH). Among the key players:

The Human Brain Project
The International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM)
The Laboratory of Neuroimaging (LONI)
The Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN), and
The Charles A. Dana Foundation

The publicly funded and nonclassified research appears to have been funneled into military labs through the following organizations:

The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA)
DARPA's Brain-Machine Interface program
NASA's Neurolab Program, and
The Office of Naval Research (ONR)

Each of these military programs represents an entire network of laboratories, and they will be examined in future posts.

These research programs seem to interconnect in interesting ways with several other organizations strongly associated with telepathy research and the development of exotic technologies:

The Stanford Research Institute (SRI)
Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC)
The Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL)
Psi-Tech

We will take a closer look at each of these players in future posts to this blogs. The advances in brain mapping achieved by the Human Brain Project are especially worthy of careful attention.

If the testimony of voice-hearers can be believed, the "Decade of the Brain" resulted in weapons with some very, very frightening capabilities.

Hearing Voices: Schizophrenia or Artificial Telepathy?

2007-01-17T20:20:00.000-08:00

Thought reading at a distance, by a machine? Voices being beamed into the head by satellite?

Innocent victims enduring ritual abuse by thugs working for the military, the NSA, or the CIA?

It all sounds too crazy and sick to be true. It's far easier to believe that people who hear voices are exactly what they seem to be: wackos. In fact, hearing voices remains a classic symptom of schizophrenia, as defined by most textbooks.

Yet a growing body of literature, written by reputable journalists and scientists, gives clear evidence that such technology does exist. See, for example, the books on mind control technology at this excellent website:

MCRAIS The Mind Control and Ritual Abuse Information Service

http://mcrais.googlepages.com/index0.htm

Those who doubt that agents of the U.S. government engage in the torture or "ritual abuse" of American citizens would also do well to read the hundreds of testimonials given by survivors of past experiments. For example, dozens of speeches have been given by survivors at the S.M.A.R.T Ritual Abuse and Mind Control conferences between 1999 and 2006. Transcripts are available on the web:

http://members.aol.com/smartnews/index2.html

Clearly, there is some serious abuse going on. But voice hearers? C'mon. Even among mind control victims, they ain't normal.

Indeed, Voice Hearers face a great hurdle. They must convince skeptics that exotic technologies exists that allow machines to read thoughts. They must prove that voices are being beamed into their heads. They must warn the world of a dangerous new technology that may rape the privacy of every man, woman and child on the planet.

And they've got to do it all without making people laugh them off the stage.

The selection below, from Dorothy Burdick's groundbreaking book "Such Things Are Known" (1982) provides a classic example of a brave "wavie" (a target of voice-to-skull weapons) trying to prove as calmly and reasonably as possible that she is not schizophrenic, even though she hears voices.

Like Cassandra, she bears an important message that no one wants to hear. She knows people would rather kill the messenger (or call her schizophrenic) than listen. Yet she remains honest and objective. She does an outstanding job of researching the technology (as it existed in 1982). She presents persuasive evidence that computers can read minds. And she speaks from the heart, describing vividly what it feels like to be on the receiving end of Artificial Telepathy when the technology is used for mind rape and ritual abuse.

This is one voice that deserves to be heard. -- M

Such Things are Known

Prologue

Reading minds at a distance by deciphering the brain’s magnetic waves has been a project of the Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA] of the Defense Department for some time. Many educational and research institutions have contributed to its success with government funding.
Published information indicates that DARPA scientists have learned to identify specific thought patterns through the interpretation of brain waves. These patterns reveal with up to ninety percent accuracy whether a person is: (1) puzzled or uncertain, (2) has made a decision, (3) is paying attention, (4) is observing colors or patterns, or (5) has lost concentration due to fatigue or boredom.

Thought processes have been linked to the computer through Artificial Intelligence [AI]. The autocorrelated Cray, which does one hundred million calculations a second, is specifically designed for problem solving and can carry out biomedical experiments with the computer simulating the human effects. It takes only fifty billionths of a second for an element of data to enter and leave its memory.

Using psychological interviewing techniques. AI has come up with programs which lead the intelligent human to believe that he is talking to another person, when he is actually carrying on a dialogue with a computer. Properly programmed, computers have the capacity to make judgments based on previous performance or experience, predict observed behavior, speech patterns and idiosyncrasies of thought. Computers also convert many types of signals to signs, codes, sound, music and video. Twenty years were spent by Russell Kirsch at the National Bureau of Standards’ Artificial Intelligence Laboratory teaching machines to make judgments called “image pattern recognition.” A well-instructed machine can look at variegated images like brain waves and make decisions concerning them. The marriage of computer programming and brain mapping has been published. To accomplish the wiring and plotting of the functions of the human brain was an incredibly complex task that could only have been accomplished by the invention of the computer itself.

It is known that enough work has been done with large computers and wave averaging on the transmission of neural messages in the brain so that neural activity associated with the word “no” and the word “yes” can be identified whether it is said aloud or not. Near the speech center in the brain is an area that prepares neural messages that drive the muscles associated with speech. Actions of the tongue and mouth and other muscles involved in speech are quite different for these two words. The patterns of nerve signals that go out to make these two words are also unalike. The patterns are formed long before words reach the vocalizing level, and can be read and interpreted in advance of speech by a computer. Pattern recognition computers will read an answer even in a completely uncooperative subject, or specifically read his mind if the thought is mentally put into unspoken words.

Speech is a motor activity which creates electrical signals traveling along neurons. With a computer, these weak signals can be read at a distance by a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), which almost completely eliminates environmental noise while magnifying the signal one thousand times over that read by previous technology.

To read the mind, wave analyzers must deal with the complex oscillations of the brain in somewhat the same way that a prism separates the colors of a beam of light. The components of this complex wave are isolated by electronic circuits tuned to several frequencies. Statistical averages can be determined from many readings of the mind under investigation. From this information its versatility and repertoire of adaptive stratagems can be assessed and plotted. This frequency analysis of tactics can now be instantly known and evaluated by computer faster than men can think.

Optical and electronic subsystems for spacecraft and artificial intelligence have been under development since 1955. Sophisticated biomedical sensors have been developed to use on animals at a distance without physical contact. The same equipment has been used to test environmental factors on human sensory organs. Laser is used in biomedical displays to pick up brain signals and convert them to sound and color or even music. With current laser techniques verbal and aural communication is possible between any two points on earth with video and via satellite.

The human head is a target which gives off a magnetic field. Suppose that it is capable of being picked up and locked onto at a distance by a supersensitive sensor many times amplified by optics. Depending upon the kind of ray directed at the head the symptoms and sensations of the subject will vary.

The carotid artery and the hypothalamus are easily reached through the thin wall of the ear drum by sonic and ultrasonic radio waves. Stimuli to this area can raise and lower blood pressure and body temperature. Sensations in other parts of the anatomy are similar to those caused by diathermy depending upon which brain signals are played upon. The subject is literally an instrument who may experience numbness, pain, pleasure, muscle jerks, spasm and stimulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.

It is known that thoughts can be pulsed into the mind through the nervous system by microwaves. This has nothing to do with the auditory nerves. Scientists who have submitted themselves to this process report temporary loss of memory and disorganization of thinking processes.

A subtle method of communication, laser, is used to deliver messages unheard by those close to the receiver. Depending upon the verbal messages received concurrently with physical stimulation, these technological developments become powerful tools combined with psychological techniques to shape, modify, direct, prevent and control human thought and behavior through interference with all known diurnal physiological patterns. Additionally, verbal messages may be delivered at the subliminal level during consciousness and during sleep, so that the subject is unaware that he is receiving them or that his dream sleep is being influenced. Words are emotional triggers. When the subject’s emotional triggers are analyzed he is put in the position of having his thoughts and actions controlled by other individuals. This is mind control.

For at least the last four years every minute of my conscious and unconscious life had been invaded by investigators using state of the art technology. Recently on the “Today Show,” William Colby said that the CIA investigated a device which could read Brezhnev’s mind on his way to work. It is my contention that they not only investigated it but that they made it work.
People have asked me, “What do these voices say?” They say, “We want to be your friends.” As in brainwashing they confuse the issue, and truth becomes obscure. Falsehoods seem reasonable. Indoctrination techniques resemble some techniques used in hypnosis. Like hypnosis they have a soporific effect, reiterating and repeating the same monotonous phrases.

“What you do is up to you. You’ve got to believe in yourself.” This remark is made until you are not really certain whether you know what you want or can rely upon your own opinion.
Pavlov said that a conditioned reflex can be worked out for every stimulus. In brainwashing, brain-changing results. Damage is done to the mind through drugs, hypnotism and other means, so that a memory of what actually happened can be wiped out and a new memory of what never happened inserted. The Voices, by interfering with sleep in a subliminal mode are able to stir up old memories and influence REM Sleep by vocal suggestion. They interfere with normal sleep patterns by inducing physical symptoms which result in jerks, cramps, irritation of the intestinal tract and skin, and in sexual arousal or sudden and unwanted awakening when rest is needed. All the subject is aware of is pain, discomfort, nightmares, unaccountable physical symptoms, fatigue and depression. At other times, he is euphoric with relief.

As in brainwashing, the Voices try to install a feeling of personal satisfaction by making the individual feel that he is needed in some way. The message is combined with physical reinforcement.

“We want you to feel good about yourself.” They specialize in uncertainty. You are always on an up staircase that is going down.

“Dorothy, we don’t know what we are going to do with you.” This comes after occasions of rebuttal, rebellion and general recalcitrance. It may be accompanied by good humor or very unpleasant remarks and physical symptoms.

In the beginning, although one is not incarcerated except mentally and environmentally, the subject feels dreadfully tired and worn out. Returning POWs describe it as being like an automaton or going about in a daze.

The Voices use suggestive interrogation with desired answers implied in the wording. They alternate this with a barrage of denunciation and accusation to make you cringe. The more tired you are, the more it upsets you. They excavate the psyche for areas of sensitivity involving social attitudes, sex, marital and family relationships and feelings about self. Any vulnerability will do, and all the time, fatigue both physical and mental, is working for them. The more sensitive and reasonable the individual, the more vulnerable they are. Pushovers for indoctrinators are very intelligent but uneducated, especially the indecisive minds that always see some valid point in the other side's argument.

The victim’s feeling is that his thinking is being directed. The brainwasher has been called a corticovisceral psychiatrist, able to interfere with the normal path that every human follows in life. Such a Voice directs or suggests to the subject a new route leading off in an entirely new direction. Conflicts arise in anyone between known emotional responses and those of which he is unaware and which are suppressed. No one actually knows or realizes what is going on in his own subconscious mind. The Brainwasher Voice is trained to increase such conflict and to manipulate these responses.

A great effort is made to arouse guilt feelings. Failures to meet a standard of achievement or conduct are used frequently as guilt stimuli. A decided effort is made to uncover normal failings and to take advantage of them in order to hammer them into a guilt complex. No matter how guilt arises, it is necessary to the Voice Indoctrinator for projection purposes.

The Brainwasher Voice continually attempts to sow doubt in the mind of the subject. Regardless of the strength of conviction of the individual so attacked, the moment doubt clouds the mind, it leads to tension. Tension is related to fear, and guilt also produces fear.

They asked me, "What do you want lo do?" My answer was that I wanted to survive. Fear itself is an expression of unsatisfied need for survival and security. First reactions are nervousness, tension, apprehension and depression. They make the need for security and self-protection even more acutely felt.

Fortunately for me none of this was done in a really controlled environment, yet my privacy in all things was gone and I was isolated from human intercourse because nobody could believe that the Voices I heard were anything but inventions of my subconscious.

As a result of these artificially induced pressures including chronic fatigue, I was deprived of strength to combat repetitious suggestions and started to doubt my own thoughts and convictions.

Suppose in this condition that ideas are suggested at a subconscious level, not positive suggestions used in department store tapes to prevent stealing, but destructive behavioral ideas that will result in a poorer self-image, lowered confidence, both physical and mental, and atypical behavior. The suggestions assume a symbolic significance to the individual. Suppose the assault on the mind, body and nervous system is continual over a twenty-four hour period seven days a week. In this state one begins to live in a realm of fantasies and false beliefs. In the hands of Brainwasher Voices and technologists with Space Age Tools, anyone is malleable. An illusory, surreal, invisible environment is created, real only to the victim.

In a prison camp one can make up one’s mind not to listen. There are other prisoners. As a laser receiving station in your own home and environment one has to listen involuntarily and still try to act normally, perform tasks, drive a car and do routine things as much as possible. The incarceration is real, but unseen.

The tools of mind attack include suggestion, mockery, fear, fatigue, deception and manipulation. As in brainwashing, the Voice sometimes begins with ideas and ideals with which the recipient can agree. The only relief from tension in this insidious process is laughter or drugs like sleeping pills and alcohol. The receiver forgets that he is the one who is suffering from fear, uncertainty, browbeating and the invasion of privacy in sex, toilet and social relationships. When he most fears for public performance and they let up, he feels grateful for no reason at all.

All these things are known to government psychiatrists and psychologists. The government in question is the government of the United States of America. The events I recount began on a May weekend in 1978. ...

The Aviary: Key players of the 1980s and 1990s

2006-06-18T09:21:00.000-07:00

The story of artificial telepathy research in the 1980s and 1990s centers on The Aviary and their leader, Col. John B. Alexander (see photo).

"The Aviary" is a collection of strange birds: a group of key scientists, military men and intelligence agents who share an intense interest in UFOs, telepathy, remote viewing, parapsychology, mind control and the creation of psychotronic weapons.

They seem to work and flock together, and they are reportedly part of a secretive cell. Its members are codenamed after birds, hence they are called "the Birds" and their cell is called the "Aviary."

See: http://www.think-aboutit.com/ufo/aviary.htm
http://www.drboylan.com/aviary2.html

The strange UFO slant on this group appears to be simple disinformation.

Members of the Aviary have reportedly participated in MILABS operations -- black operations by rogue military-intelligence units that stalk, harrass, terrorize, kidnap, drug, gang-rape and mind-rape innocent civilians, using hypnotic mind-control programming to implant a false post-hypnotic "memory" that the episode was an "alien abduction."

See Dr. Richard Boylan's article on Fake "Alien abductions":
http://www.drboylan.com/milabs.html

A well-designed program to torture civilians requires plausible deniability and a built-in means or method to discredit the victims. Certainly people who hear voices or run to the police complaining of an "alien abduction" are instantly discredited. Hence the UFO debate: are alien abductions real, or just some kind of psywar cover for nefarious deeds by "men in black"?

For John Alexander's comments on MILABS, and his plausible denial that any such program exists, see: http://www.konformist.com/mkkafe/milabs.htm
For Alex Constantine's rebuttal:
http://www.konformist.com/mkkafe/milabsa.htm
For Armen Victorien's comments:
http://www.konformist.com/mkkafe/milabsb.htm

According to the Doc Hambone site
http://www.mindcontrolforums.com/hambone/people.html
there is still a great deal of uncertainty over who belongs to the Aviary, and what their codenames really are:

"The individuals involved expanded to include almost anyone that supports or debunks UFO research that is in any way connected to the government. Michael Persinger has been included, as well as Susan Blackmore for interviewing him. It has degenerated to the point that it's now an inside joke on the newsgroups, with people giving each other codenames like Pigeon and Dodo Bird."

The following are short profiles of the reported members of The Aviary.

John Alexander (PENGUIN), Ph.D. in Thanatology [Death Sciences], Col. ("Ret."), U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), which is undoubtedly his military cover for the National Security Agency (NSA). He is a former Green Beret, and completed his Ph.D. thesis under the supervision of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, an expert in "out of body" experiences during near-death trauma.

He entered the Army as a private in 1956, and retired as a Colonel in 1988. Commander, Army Special Forces Teams, U.S. Army, Thailand, Vietnam, 1966-69. Chief of Human Resources division, U.S. Army, Ft. McPherson, GA, 1977-79. Inspector General, Department of the Army, Washington, 1980-82. Chief of human technology, Army Intelligence Command, US Army, Arlington, VA 1982-83. Manager of tech integration, Army Materiel Command, US Army, Alexandria, VA, 1983-85. Director, advanced concepts, US Army Lab Command, Adelphi, MD, 1985-88.

In December 1980, Colonel Alexander published an article in the US Army's journal, Military Review, "The New Mental Battlefield", stating that telepathy could be used to interfere with the brain's electrical activity. This caught the attention of senior Army generals who encouraged him to pursue what they termed "soft option kill" technologies. After retiring from the Army in 1988, Alexander joined the Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL) and began working with Janet Morris, the Research Director of the US Global Strategy Council (USGSC), chaired by Dr Ray Cline, former Deputy Director of the CIA.

As director of the Non-Lethal (sic) Weapons Department at LANL, Alexander has been reportedly involved in counter-intelligence remote-viewing, psychic-warfare, psychotronic and mind-control projects with military/security applications, while maintaining the cover of nonlethal military/crowd control physical-countermeasures research.

Along with INSCOM General Al Stubblebine and INSCOM Major Ed Dames, Dr. Alexander has been serving as a Board Member of PSI-Tech Corporation, involved in proprietary remote-viewing projects for hire.

According to the National Institute of Discovery Science (NIDS), a Department of Defense funded think tank which explores so-called fringe science and psychology, Dr. John B. Alexander serves as a "Discreet Project Scout."

NIDS states: "Dr. Alexander, a staff member of the National Institute of Discovery Science, provides interface with Science Advisory Board Members. He joined NIDS when it was formed in 1995 shortly after retiring (a second time) from the University of California. . . . Dr. Alexander was chairman of the first three major US conferences on non-lethal weapons. His work has brought him international recognition and he has been a US delegate to three NATO studies on advanced weapons. He has written many articles on a wide variety of topics and co-authored The Warrior’s Edge. "

The Penguin also serves on the adjunct faculty of the California Institute for Human Sciences. http://www.cihs.edu/

Rumor has it that Alexander is head of the Aviary, and that the Aviary is headquartered at Los Alamos.

History of Artificial Telepathy, 1950 - Present

2006-06-11T00:24:00.000-07:00

1950s

Exploration of Remote Mind Control methods began in the 1950's. From this point onward, experiments in telepathy and remote mind control ("artificial telepathy") began to overlap.

In 1952, the CIA began Project Moonstruck. Electronic devices were designed to be implanted in the brain or teeth, surreptitiously or during abduction, with the specific goal of mind and behavior control.

In 1953, the agency launched Project MK-ULTRA, also known as Project Artichoke, an umbrella program with many sub-programs. Psychiatrists experimented with drugs, narcoleptic trance, electronics, and electroshock to create "cyborg" mentalities. The experiments involved "remote control" insofar as VHF, UHF and modulated ELF broadcasts were used for E.D.O.M. (Electronic Dissolution of Memory).

The Soviets reportedly began to delve into the biological effect of microwaves as early as 1953. A number of laboratories were set up across the Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe, including one at the Institute of Hygiene and Occupational Diseases Academy of Medical Sciences.

Although the Soviets reported on their experiments in the open literature, the parameters they defined were insufficient for duplicating the experiments, and some scientists in the United States questioned whether the whole matter was disinformation. It was not.

Early CIA funding provided the wherewithal for a project launched at Honeywell, Inc. for "a method to penetrate inside a man's mind and control his brain waves over long distance."

At the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Maitland Baldwin, under CIA supervision, bombarded the brains of lobotomised monkeys with radio waves. According to researcher Alex Constantine, "His CIA monitors noted weird excesses: in one experiment, Baldwin decapitated a monkey and transplanted its head to the body of another, then attempted to restore it to life with radar saturation."

In his pioneering work, Dr. Ross Adey determined that emotional states and behavior can be remotely influenced merely by placing a subject in an electromagnetic field. By directing a carrier frequency to stimulate the brain and using amplitude modulation to shape the wave to mimic a desired EEG frequency, he was able to impose a 4.5 CPS theta rhythm on his subjects.

Meanwhile, experiments in classic telepathy continued.

In 1953, Wilfred Daim, an Austrian psychotherapist, attempted to transmit a target to a sleeping percipient. The target material consisted of a geometrical symbol and a color in random combination. Target-dream correspondences were reported in 75% of 30 trials.

At about the same time, exploratory dream telepathy studies were being initiated by Montague Ullman and L.A. Dale. These studies were designed to explore possible paranormal correspondences between recorded dreams and events in each of their lives.

The results were encouraging and led to a series of exploratory studies using the all-night REM monitoring technique to determine the onset and termination of recurring dream sequences. This technique freed the investigator from relying on the uncertainty of spontaneous dream recall in a dream telepathy experiment.

These studies pointed to the usefulness of the REM monitoring technique as a way of experimentally approaching the subject of dream telepathy. The results supported the working hypothesis that psi effects could be incorporated into both manifest and symbolic dream content. Further refinement of the design was indicated:

1. To eliminate all possibilities of sensory cues relating to the target reaching the subject.
2. To arrange for the independent blind outside judging of possible correspondences between target and dream.
3. To work out appropriate statistical techniques to evaluate any matching process.

In 1962, with the establishment of a Dream Laboratory at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, it became possible to pursue the work along these lines.

The telepathy research at Miamonedes Medical Center was later incorporated into the CIA’s MONARCH program. The apparent goal was to somehow combine telepathy with remote mind control.

1960

The CIA launched MK-DELTA, known as "Deep Sleep," a remote mind control program focussed on fine-tuned, electromagnetic subliminal programming. The agency used VHF, HF, and UHF transmissions modulated at ELF to cause fatigue, mood swings and behavior dysfunction in chosen targets.

Drs. Joseph Sharp and Allen Frey experimented with microwaves seeking to transmit spoken words directly into the audio cortex via a pulsed-microwave analog of the speaker's sound vibration. Indeed, Frey's work in this field, dating back to 1960, gave rise to the so called "Frey effect" which is now more commonly referred to as "microwave hearing." Within the Pentagon this ability is now known as "Artificial Telepathy."

Adey and others have compiled an entire library of frequencies and pulsation rates which can effect the mind and nervous system.

1961

In 1961, Allen Frey, working for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), announced that human beings are capable of hearing microwave broadcasts, in the case of his experiments, what he described as buzzing or knocking sounds.

1962

By the 1960s, many telepathy researchers had become dissatisfied with the forced-choice experiments of J. B. Rhine, partly because of boredom on the part of test participants after many repetitions of monotonous card-guessing, and partly because of the observed "decline effect" where the accuracy of card guessing would decrease over time for a given participant, which some parapsychologists attributed to this boredom.

Some parapsychologists turned to free response experimental formats where the target was not limited to a small finite predetermined set of responses (e.g., Zener cards), but rather could be any sort of picture, drawing, photograph, movie clip, piece of music etc.

As a result of surveys of spontaneous psi experiences which reported that more than half of these occurred in the dreaming state, researchers Montaque Ullman and Stanley Krippner at the Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, undertook a series of experiments to test for telepathy in the dream state.

A "receiver" participant in a soundproof, electronically shielded room would be monitored while sleeping for EEG patterns and rapid eye movements (REMs) indicating dream state. A "sender" in another room would then attempt to send an image, randomly selected from a pool of images, to the receiver by focusing on the image during the detected dream states. Near the end of each REM period, the receiver would be awakened and asked to describe their dream during that period. The researchers claim that the data gathered suggest that sometimes the sent image was incorporated in some way into the content of the receiver's dreams.

1964

In 1964, CIA Director Richard Helms sent a memo to the Warren Commission, mentioning "biological radio communication." Helms' theorising about such methods was truly reminiscent of Orwell's 1984. He said, "Cybernetics [or computer theory] can be used in the moulding of a child's character, the inculcation of knowledge and techniques, the amassing of experience, the establishment of social behaviour patterns -- all functions which can be summarised as control of the growth processes of the individual."

1965

From 1965 through to 1970, the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA), with up to 70-80% funding provided by the military, set in motion operation PANDORA to study the health and psychological effects of low intensity microwaves with regard to the so-called "Moscow signal."

This project appears to have been quite extensive and included (under U.S. Navy funding) studies demonstrating how to induce heart seizures, create leaks in the blood/brain barrier and production of auditory hallucinations.

Despite attempts to render the Pandora program invisible to scrutiny, FOIA filings revealed memoranda of Richard Cesaro, Director of DARPA, which confirmed that the program's initial goal was to "discover whether a carefully controlled microwave signal could control the mind." Cesaro urged that these studies be made "for potential weapons applications."

1971

A telepathic experiment conducted during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971 proved distance is not a barrier. The experiment was not authorized by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), nor was it announced until the mission was completed. Astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell conducted the experiment with four recipients on Earth, 150,000 miles below. Mitchell concentrated on sequences of twenty-five random numbers. He completed 200 sequences. Guessing 40 correctly was the mean chance. Two of the recipients guessed 51 correctly. This far exceeded Mitchell's expectations, but still was only moderately significant.
Ganzfeld experiments have received widespread attention in recent times, and some believe they provide some experimental evidence of telepathy[citation needed]. Such experiments, however, are generally believed to be flawed by the scientific community.[1][2]

Other experiments have been conducted by the biologist Rupert Sheldrake, who claims strong results. These include experiments into:

The 'sense of being stared at', in which the subject guesses whether he/she is being stared at by another person
Whether a subject can tell who is phoning them before picking up the receiver
Whether dogs can tell when their owners are about to return home.

1973

In 1973, Dr. Joseph C. Sharp, at Walter Reed Hospital, while in a soundproof room heard spoken words broadcast by "pulsed microwave audiogram." Broadcast in a range between 300 MHz to 3GHz. Sharp was able to identify words that were broadcast without any form of electronic translation device - by direct transmission to the brain.

L.L. Vasiliev, professor of physiology at the University of Leningrad, described one experiment in remote hypnosis using undefined techniques of radio control:

"As a control of the subject's condition, when she was outside the laboratory in another set of experiments, a radio set was used. The results obtained indicate that the method of using radio signals substantially enhances the experimental possibilities. I.F. Tomaschevsky [a Russian physiologist] carried out the first experiments with this subject at a distance of one or two rooms, and under conditions that the participant would not know or suspect that she would be experimented with. In other cases, the sender was not in the same house, and someone else observed the subject's behaviour. Subsequent experiments at considerable distances were successful. One such experiment was carried out in the park at a distance. Mental suggestions to go to sleep were complied with within a minute."

1974

In 1974, Lawrence Pinneo, a neurophysiologist and electronic engineer working for Stanford Research Institute (a leading military contractor), "developed a computer system capable of reading a person's mind. It correlated brain waves on an electroencephalograph with specific commands."

J.F. Schapitz, working with the Department of Defense in 1974, filed the following research proposal:

"In this investigation it will be shown that the spoken word of the hypnotist may be conveyed by modulated electro-magnetic 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."

Schapitz proposed an experiment wherein a subject would be subconsciously told to leave the laboratory, the command triggered by a word or action from the researcher. As in the tricks played by stage hypnotists, Schapitz was certain that the subject would rationalise the otherwise irrational desire to leave the lab. Records of Schapitz' research, beyond the initial proposal, have never been declassified.

A specific Russian mind control technology was outed by the American Defense News in 1993, termed "acoustic psycho-correction." According to the magazine, "The Russian capability, demonstrated in a series of laboratory experiments dating back to the mid-1970s, could be used to suppress riots, control dissidents, demoralise or disable opposing forces and enhance the performance of friendly special operations teams, sources say.

"Pioneered by the government-funded Department of Psycho-Correction at the Moscow Medical Academy, acoustic psycho-correction involves the transmission of specific commands via static or white noise bands into the human subconscious without upsetting other intellectual functions. Experts said that laboratory demonstrations have shown encouraging results after exposure of less than one minute."

1975

A study by A.W. Guy and others, released in 1975 by the DIA, reported on experiments to determine the particulars of the phenomenon of audible electromagnetics, and its relation to such things a pulse power, pulse shape, and frequency. Along with a number of details about the nature of electromagnetic interaction with humans and animals. Guy explained why the microwaves were audible: microscopic thermal expansion of brain tissues. Guy had even experimented with sending Morse code via microwaves.

Also reported on were Soviet capabilities: "Sounds and possibly even words which appear to be originating intercranially can be induced by signal modulations at very low power densities."

Dr. Robert O. Becker, in The Body Electric, commented on the technology: "Such a device has obvious applications in covert operations designed to drive a target crazy with 'voices' or deliver undetected instructions to a programmed assassin."

1976

EDWIN MAY joined the Stanford Research Institute's remote viewing program in 1976. He became head of the program after Hal Puthoff left in 1985. He continued his work as director at SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation) when the research program moved in 1991.

May left SAIC on 11/28/95. He is a frequent contributor to the Journal of Parapsychology, and is currently with the Cognitive Sciences Laboratory of Palo Alto, California, which he founded at SRI.

1977

Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, the MKULTRA heavyweight, during questioning by Senator Richard Schweicker in 1977 Senate hearings on CIA drug testing responded as follows:

SCHWEIKER: Some of the projects under MKULTRA involved hypnosis, is that correct?
GOTTLIEB: Yes.
SCHWEICKER Did any of these projects involve something called radio hypnotic intracerebral control, which is a combination, as I understand it, in layman's terms, of radio transmissions and hypnosis.
GOTTLIEB: My answer is "No."
SCHWEICKER: None whatsoever?
GOTTLIEB: Well, I am trying to be responsive to the terms you used. As I remember it, there was a current interest, running interest, all the time in what effects people's standing in the field of radio energy have, and it could easily have been that somewhere in many projects, someone was trying to see if you could hypnotise someone easier if he was standing in a radio beam. That would seem like a reasonable piece of research to do.

In 1977 Dr. Sam Koslov, the scientific assistant to the Secretary of the Navy, was briefed on a number of current research projects. One of them, in progress at Stanford Research Institute was named "ELF and Mind Control." ELF is the acronym of extremely low frequency electromagnetic radiation. Koslov didn't like the sound of that project and ordered it cancelled, but according to the Washington Post, the funding was merely diverted into a different project heading and continued to go forward.

1978

From 1978 to 1988, Skip Atwater was the Operations and Training Officer for the once highly classified US Army Intelligence remote viewing surveillance program, and played an important role in the program’s founding. Working closely with the personnel in the SRI International remote viewing research program, he trained professional intelligence personnel to remote view, then used these highly skilled psychic spies to conduct thousands of remote viewing intelligence collection missions for a variety of US intelligence agencies. For ten years Skip worked directly with the cadre of remote viewers, helping to hone their skills.

Since his military retirement in 1988, Skip has been the Research Director at The Monroe Institute, a world renowned nonprofit organization conducting research and offering educational programs supporting the evolution of consciousness. He has published technical research on methods for expanding consciousness, and assisted hundreds of individuals in experiencing and exploring altered states of consciousness. is a director on the board of the International Remote Viewing Association.

1981

Scientist Eldon Byrd, who worked for the Naval Surface Weapons Office, was commissioned in 1981 to develop electromagnetic devices for purposes including riot control, clandestine operations and hostage removal.

1983

Major Edward Dames claims he was the operations and training officer for the Army's (INSCOM) and DIA's remote-viewing program starting around late 1983 under CENTER LANE. "Dames took a 'let's see what this baby can do' approach, replacing the unit's former intelligence collection methodology with the breakthrough technique.

He left the remote-viewing unit in late summer, 1988.

Dames was a long-serving member of the highly classified operation GRILL-FLAME, a program that focused on some of the more bizarre possibilities of intelligence gathering and remote interrogation. Known as "remote viewers," GRILL-FLAME personnel possessed a marked psychic ability that was put to use "penetrating" designated targets and gathering important intelligence on significant figures.

The program operated with two teams: one working out of the top secret NSA facility at Fort George Meade in Maryland, and the other at Stanford Research Institute. Results are said to have been exemplary.

1989

Following the Oliver North debacle, the Secretary of Defense officially terminated GRILL-FLAME, fearing bad publicity if the program were to become known to the public. The leading members of the project -- including Dames -- immediately relocated to the privately owned and newly formed Psi-Tech, in Beverly Hills, CA.

They continue their work to this day, operating under government contract. In the course of his work, Dames was (and remains) close to many the leading figures and proponents of anti-personnel electromagnetic weapons, especially those that operate in the neurological field.

During NBC's "The Other Side" program, Dames stated that "The U.S. Government has an electronic device which could implant thoughts in people." He refused to comment further. The program was broadcast during April 1995.

March 1991

The March 23, 1991 ITV newsbrief "High-Tech Psychological Warfare Arrives in the Middle East"describes a US PsychologicalOperations (PsyOps) tactic directed against Iraqi troops in Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm. The manoeuvre consisted of a system in which subliminal mind-altering technology was carried on standard radio frequency broadcasts.

The March 26, 1991 newsbrief states that among the standard military planning groups in the centre of US war planning operations at Riyadh was "an unbelievable and highly classified PsyOps program utilising 'silent sound'techniques."

The opportunity to use this method occurred when Saddam Hussein's military command-and-control system was destroyed. The Iraqi troops were then forced to use commercial FM radio stations to carry encoded commands, which were broadcast on the 100 MHz frequency. The US PsyOps team set up its own portable FM transmitter, utilising the same frequency, in the deserted city of Al Khafji. This US transmitter overpowered the local Iraqi station. Along with patriotic and religious music, PsyOps transmitted "vague, confusing and contradictory military orders and information."

Subliminally, a much more powerful technology was at work: a sophisticated electronic system to 'speak' directly to the mind of the listener, to alter and entrain his brainwaves, to manipulate his brain's electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns and artificially implant negative emotional states -- feelings of fear, anxiety, despair and hopelessness. This subliminal system doesn't just tell a person to feel an emotion, it makes them feel it; it implants that emotion in their minds."

The mind-altering mechanism is based on a subliminal carrier technology: the Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS), sometimes called "S-quad" or "Squad." It was developed by Dr Oliver Lowery of Norcross, Georgia, and is described in US Patent #5,159,703 "Silent Subliminal Presentation System" dated October 27, 1992.

According to literature by Silent Sounds, Inc., it is now possible, using supercomputers, to analyse human emotional EEG patterns and replicate them, then store these "emotion signature clusters" on another computer and, at will, "silently induce and change the emotional state in a human being."

1992

According to Tactical Technology magazine, "While visiting Russia in November 1991, [Janet] Morris and other members of a team sent to investigate Russian technologies for commercial development were invited to a demonstration of a mind control technology.

A volunteer from the U.S. team sat down in front of a computer screen as innocuous words flashed across the screen. The volunteer was only required to tell which words he liked and which words he disliked. At the end of the demonstration the Russian staff started revealing the sensitive, innermost thoughts of the volunteer - none of which had been previously discussed.

The recorded message was mixed with what appeared to be white noise or static, so when played back it became indecipherable. Since there were no more volunteers in the U.S. group, the Russians volunteered to go upstairs and let the Americans choose a mental patient for a demonstration.

The Americans declined the offer.

"The Russians told Morris of a demonstration in which a group of workers were outside the hospital working on the grounds. The staff sent an acoustic psycho-correction message via their machine to the workers telling them to put down their tools, knock on the door of the hospital and ask if there was anything else they could do. The workers did exactly that, the Russians said.

"The Russians admitted to using this technology for special operations teams selection and performance enhancement and to aid their Olympic athletes and an Antarctic exploration team. Unlike lie detectors, this machine can determine when the truth is spoken, according to Morris.

"Being an infrasound, very low frequency-type transmission, the acoustic psycho-correction message is transmitted via bone conduction. This means that earplugs will not restrict the message. An entire body protection system would be required to stop reception. The message, according to the Russians, bypasses the conscious level and is acted on almost immediately. The Russians say that the messages are acted upon with exposure times of under one minute.

"Morris envisions this technology will be miniaturised into a hand-held device. Presently, the International Healthline Corp. of Richmond, Va., is planning to bring a Russian team of specialists to the U.S. in the near future to further demonstrate the capability. International Healthline is a private corporation that is exploring Russian medical technologies for import to the U.S."

1993

The Oct-Nov. 1994 NEXUS magazine reported: "Directed-energy weapons currently being deployed include, for example, a microwave weapon manufactured by Lockheed-Sanders and used for a process known as 'Voice Synthesis' which is remote beaming of audio (i.e., voices or other audible signals) directly into the brain of any selected human target. This process is also known within the U.S. Government as "Synthetic Telepathy." This psychotronic weapon was demonstrated by Dr. Dave Morgan at the November, 1993 Non-Lethal weapons conference."

1996

In July 1996, the Spotlight, a widely circulated right-wing U.S. newspaper, reported that well-placed DoD sources have confirmed a classified Pentagon contract for the development of "high-power electromagnetic generators that interfere with human brain waves."

The article cited the memorandum of understanding dated 1994 between Attorney General Janet Reno, and Defense Secretary William Perry for transfer of LTL weapons to the law enforcement sector. A budget of under $50 million has been made available for funding associated "black" programs.

Dr. Emery Horvath, a professor of physics at Harvard University, has stated in connection to the generator that interferes with human brain waves that "These electronic 'skull-zappers' are designed to invade the mind and short circuit its synapses . . . in the hands of government technicians, it may be used to disorient entire crowds, or to manipulate individuals into self destructive acts. It's a terrifying weapon."

History of Telepathy: Chronology to 1950

2006-06-10T23:52:00.000-07:00

Although over the centuries various theories have been advanced to describe the functioning of telepathy, none seem to be adequate. Telepathy, like other psychic phenomena, transcends time and space.

2000 B.C.

In the oldest dream book extant, the Egyptian papyrus of Deral-Madineh dating back to 2000 B.C., there are examples of divine revelation. The Egyptians practiced dream incubation, i.e., sleeping in temples in a deliberate effort to induce divinely inspired dreams which would supply answers concerning the state of health and the future of the dreamer. Oracular dreams even affected affairs of state.

R.K. Woods (The World of Dreams, 1947) notes that the Egyptians tried to communicate with others through their dreams, believing that homeless spirits carried the message. This suggests that there was some familiarity with the idea of telepathic communication

One well-known dream, possibly suggestive of telepathic influence, is the dream of Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 2:1-35). The king awoke one morning and was unable to remember a dream he felt was oracular in nature. His dream interpreters were frustrated. When Daniel was consulted, he turned to God in prayer, and Nebuchadnezzar's dream was revealed to him in a night vision. He then related the dream to Nebuchadnezzar, who recognized it as his own.

1500 - 1000 B.C.

In ancient Vedic literature (1500-1000 B.C.) dreaming is seen as an intermediate state of the soul between this world and the other. In the sleeping state the soul leaves the body in "breath's protection" and roams in space, where it sees both this world and the other.

This belief, which seemingly gives credence to telepathy, was introduced in Greece as early as 500 B.C. and is well-known in European folklore. The Greeks, however, were more inclined to the tradition of the divine message dream, a tradition favored by their Eastern neighbors. They distinguished between oracular dreams without symbolism and symbolic ones whose divine message had to be unraveled by professional interpreters.

460 - 370 B.C.

The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus put forth the wave and corpuscle theories to explain telepathy. This began what may be called the naturalization of the supernatural dream.

Democritus (460-370 B.C.) is credited with the first physical theory of dream telepathy (Dodds, F. R. The Greeks and the Irrational. London: Beacon Press, 1957.)

His view of telepathy is derived from the thesis that everything, including the soul, is made up of innumerable, indivisible, minute particles called atoms. These atoms constantly emit images of themselves, which in turn are composed of still other atoms.

He postulated that the images projected by living beings, when emotionally charged, could be transmitted to a dreamer (percipient). When the images reached their destination, they were believed to enter the body through the pores. Images emitted by people in an excited state were especially vivid and likely to reach the dreamer in an intact and undistorted form because of the frequency of emission and the speed of transmission.

The importance he assigned to the emotional state of the agent or sender is certainly in keeping with both present-day anecdotal and experimental findings.

384 - 322 B.C.

Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) rejected the notion of a divine origin of dreams. In his essay "On Divination In Sleep" (Woods, 1947) he discussed veridical dreams and took issue with Democritus' atomist thesis.

The topic of his essay is precognitive dreams, but his theory appears to be primarily applicable to instances of telepathy. He compared what happens in telepathic transmission with the ripple effect created by a stone thrown into water. Waves are propagated through the air of the night and "nothing hinders but a certain motion and sense may arrive to souls that dream ...." There are motions during the daytime as well, but the night is more tranquil so that the motions are not so easily dissolved. Besides, "those that are asleep have a greater perception of small inward motions than those that are awake."

Aristotle and Democritus thus made the paranormal dream an object of scientific inquiry and postulated a physical carrier for the information.

1819

H.M. Weserman (1819) is credited with the first published report on experiments with telepathically induced dreams. Serving as agent himself, he attempted to project his "animal magnetism" into the dreams of friends who later reported their dreams to him. Weserman claimed to have been successful on five occasions.

His ideas did not arouse sufficient interest to spur further efforts by contemporary investigators.

Source: Weserman, H. M. Versuche willkürlicher Traumbildung. Archives f. d. Tierischen Magnetismus. 6: 135-142, 1819.

There are scattered references to paranormal dreams in many later sources, notably in the writings of the German physician C. G. Carus (Meier, 1972).

1850s

Alfred Russel Wallace was the autodidactic insect collector who spent eight years in the Malay Archipeligo in the 1850s collecting 125,660 species of insects. In 1858, while in Borneo, he sent a letter to Charles Darwin conjecturing about the origin of differences among related species of insects and generalizing these conjectures to other animals. ["Connections" by James Burke, Scientific American (January 1998):113.] Darwin immediately published his own theory as The Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859).

Alfred Russel Wallace was also a leading spiritualist who believed in contacting other souls through the spirit medium.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Russel_Wallace

At the same time, Oliver Lodge, physics professor at Oxford was "particularly interested in thought transference." He was also responsible for creating a device that would permit the continuous transmission of electromagnetic waves (a small iron tube filled with iron filings).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Joseph_Lodge

This "paved the way" for Reginald Aubrey Fessenden who "succeeded in sending out continuous radio waves" (as opposed to the intermittent signals of Marconi's radio); these radio waves "were capable of carrying voice messages."

1874

The eminent British chemist and physicist Sir William Crookes, thought telepathy rode on radio- like brain waves: "It is known that the action of thought is accompanied by certain molecular movements in the brain, and here we have physical vibrations capable from their extreme minuteness of acting direct on individual molecules, while their rapidity approaches that of the internal and external movements of the atoms themselves."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Crookes

1875

Mark Twain experienced telepathic communication with a friend, William H. Wright.

1882

"Telepathy" is derived from the Greek terms tele ("distant") and pathe ("occurrence" or "feeling"). The term was coined in 1882 by the French psychical researcher Fredric W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). It first appears in his article in the Proceedings of the Society of Psychical Research I, 2:147. Myers thought his term described the phenomenon better than previously used terms such as the French "communication de pensees," "thought-transference," and "thought-reading."

Research interest in telepathy had its beginning in mesmerism. The magnetists discovered that telepathy was among the so-called "higher-phenomena" observed in magnetized subjects, who read the thoughts of the magnetists and carried out the unspoken instructions.Soon other psychologists and psychiatrists were observing the same phenomena in their patients.

Sigmund Freud noticed it so often that he soon had to address it. He termed it a regressive, primitive faculty that was lost in the course of evolution, but which still had the ability to manifest itself under certain conditions.

Psychiatrist Carl G. Jung thought it more important. He considered it a function of synchronicity (1). Psychologist and philosopher William James was very enthusiastic toward telepathy and encouraged more research be put into it.

1885

When the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) was founded in 1885, after the SPR in 1884, telepathy became the first psychic phenomenon to be studied scientifically. The first testing was simple. A sender in one room would try to transmit a two-digit number, a taste, or a visual image to a receiver in another room.

The French physiologist Charles Richet introduced mathematical chance to the tests, and also discovered that telepathy occurred independent of hypnotism.

In August, 1885, Sigmund Freud began to study hypnotism under Jean-Martin Charcot at the Salpetriere hospital in Paris.

1886

The three of the founders of the Society for Psychical Research, E. Gurney, F. W. H. Myers, and F. Podmore, published the apex of their early investigations in 1886 as the two-volume work Phantasms of the Living. It was with this work that the term "telepathy" was introduced, replacing the earlier term "thought transference".

Among the 1300 pages of case histories, the book contains 149 cases of dream telepathy. Myers defined the term telepathy as "the extrasensory communication of impressions of any kind from one mind to another."

The founders of the SPR faced the formidable task of defining and classifying a wide range of unexplainable phenomena and setting standards for observation and reporting. Although much of the initial investigations consisted largely of gathering anecdotal accounts with follow-up investigations, they also conducted experiments with some of those who claimed telepathic abilities.

These men were astute investigators and were very exacting in their search for evidentiality. In the 1880s, however, less was known about the vicissitudes of memory and dream processes than today, so that not all the material they collected would meet modern evidential standards.

1894

Henry Drummond in his book, The Lowell Lectures on the Ascent of Man (1894) wrote, "Telepathy is theoretically the next stage in the evolution of language."

1895

G. B. Ermacora (1895), an Italian psychiatrist, attempted to induce telepathic dreams in a rather strange experimental arrangement. His star subject was a medium in Padua, Signorina Maria Manzini, who had a trance control called Elvira. When Signorina Manzini went into a trance, Dr. Ermacora would suggest to Elvira the specific topic of a dream she was to induce telepathically in Angelina, Maria's four-year-old cousin. The latter would then relate her dream in the morning to the medium, who, in turn, informed Dr. Ermacora. There were, indeed, striking correspondences, but judged by modern standards, the experiments were seriously lacking in precautions against sensory leakage. They remain only of historical interest.

1908

In March 1908, Sigmund Freud described three cases that might seem to have indicated thought transference at a meeting of the Vienna Psychoanalytical Society, but he still excluded the possibility of telepathy. Then he met Jung, and was profoundly shaken by some apparently paranormal events, which Jung himself provoked.

1910

Freud began to make some half-hearted inquiries about telepathy in the company of his friend, the occultist Sandor Ferenczi. They visited a Frau Seidler in Berlin, who claimed to be able to read letters blindfolded. She correctly guessed that a letter she was given came from Vienna; but Freud later realized the place of origin was written on the envelope.

1911

Sigmund Freud joined the Society for Psychic Research, and five years later became a member of the American society.

1914

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gave up writing the Sherlock Holmes series in 1914 in order to assume his duties as one of the leaders of the Society for Psychic Research, in which Wallace, Lodge, and Myers had so much influence.

1917

Interest in telepathy increased following World War I as thousands of bereaved turned toward Spiritualism attempting to communicate with their dead loved ones. The telepathic parlor game called "willing" became popular. Mass telepathic experiments were undertaken in the United States and Britain.

In 1917, psychologist John E. Coover from Stanford University conducted a series of telepathy tests involving transmitting/guessing playing cards. His participants were able to guess the identity of cards with overall odds against chance of 160 to 1; however, Coover did not consider the results to be significant enough to report this as a positive result.

1920

Wilhelm Stekel, a formal associate of Freud, published his book The Telepathic Dream. Stekel included discussion of the astral plane, Odic force, Yoga, and the Cabala. He became interested in telepathic dreams after he himself had undergone an hallucination. He had been lying in bed very ill when a voice suddenly spoke to him: "In two weeks you will die! Use the time well!" The prediction was not fulfilled, but the incident aroused Stekel’s interest in psychical research. It turned him from a position of pure materialism to a wholehearted acceptance of telepathy.

1921

In September 1921, Sigmund Freud delivered a paper on "Psycho-analysis and Telepathy" to a small circle of his closest associates in the Harz Mountains. He warned against occultism.

1922

Freud argued that even if Stekel’s thesis had been adequately proved, it would not affect his theory that a dream was a wish fulfillment. Even supposedly telepathic dreams must be subject to analysis like any other. Freud denied belief in "telepathy in the occult sense" but he referred to "the incontestable fact that sleep creates favorable conditions for telepathy."
Source: Freud, S. Dreams and telepathy. Imago, 8: 1-22, 1922.

1925

Freud, his daughter Anna Freud, and Sandor Ferenczi took part in apparently convincing experiments in thought transference. At the same time, Freud sent out a circular in which he declared how impressed he was with certain telepathic experiments published in the SPR Proceedings. On 15 March 1925, he wrote that "the matter is becoming urgent for us." In correspondence with Ernest Jones, Freud admitted his complete "conversion" but advised him to say that this matter was Freud’s own private affair.

1927

Perhaps the most well-known telepathy experiments were those of J. B. Rhine and his associates at Duke University, beginning in the 1927 using the distinctive ESP Cards of Karl Zener (see also Zener Cards). These involved more rigorous and systematic experimental protocols than those from the 19th century, used what were assumed to be 'average' participants rather than those who claimed exceptional ability, and used new developments in the field of statistics to evaluate results. Results of these and other experiments were published by Rhine in his popular book Extra Sensory Perception, which popularized the term "ESP".

1930

Another influential book about telepathy in its day was Mental Radio, published in 1930 by the Pulitzer prize-winning author Upton Sinclair (with foreword by Albert Einstein). In it Sinclair describes the apparent ability of his wife at times to reproduce sketches made by himself and others, even when separated by several miles, in apparently informal experiments that are reminiscent of some of those to be used by remote viewing researchers in later times. They note in their book that the results could also be explained by more general clairvoyance, and they did some experiments whose results suggested that in fact no sender was necessary, and some drawings could be reproduced precognitively.

During his 1930 ESP experiments J. B. Rhine also made some discoveries concerning telepathy: It was often difficult to determine whether information was communicated through telepathy, clairvoyance, or precognitive clairvoyance. He concluded that telepathy and clairvoyance were the same psychic function manifested in different ways. Also, telepathy is not affected by distance or obstacles between the sender and receiver.

1933

In an essay of 1933, Freud maintained a belief in telepathy, while qualifying some of his earlier statements; and he came to see psychoanalysis as paving the way for an explanation of the phenomenon on purely physical grounds. He thought that telepathy might be a vestigial remnant of an earlier method of communication which had been replaced by speech.

Telepathy and the technology of mind control

2006-06-06T21:46:00.000-07:00

A "profane" or materialistic view of telepathy became commonplace after World War II. Just as new mathematical models and theories of physics had been brought to bear on development of the atomic bomb, so too new tools were brought to bear on the human mind.

Just as Cold War scientists raced to design rocket engines and missile technologies that would give their country superiority on the nuclear battlefield, so too did scientists rush to develop ever more complex and thorough models of the human brain. They literally began to see the brain as a mental battlefield.

Implicit within this Cold War race to acquire brain "technology" was the crude assumption that the human mind could be mechanically "modelled" or understood as an artificial construct. The brain began to be viewed as a complex "thinking machine" or computer that could be analyzed, broken into component parts, and back-engineered.

Within this context, telepathy began to be seen as an exotic form of mental radio transmission, only one of many communication functions performed by the mental machine. Communication per se was nothing new. But technicians became fascinated by the potential to communicate silently and covertly, at a distance. Likewise, telepathy seemed to offer a powerful means to distract and confuse the enemy, to program assassins, or to forcibly extract secret information from an enemy's mind.

Put bluntly, the Pentagon began to see telepathy as a powerful multi-task weapon. The rush to develop "artificial telepathy" became a top-priority weapons program within the overall race for total mind control. Artificial telepathy cannot be fully understood outside this military context or the historical context of the Cold War. The research and development really did begin as a Cold War weapons program.

The paragraphs below give a brief summary of the history of mind control research during the past 50 years.

Some of the amazing technologies developed during this time may be found at the website below: http://www.nwbotanicals.org/oak/newphysics/synthtele/synthtele.html

We will examine some of the specific telepathy programs, and the scientists behind them, in future posts.

-- M

The following article combines material from several sources, listed under Footnotes. The majority of information appeared in David Guyatt's synopsis of the history and development of mind control weapons, first presented at an ICRC symposium on"The Medical Profession and the Effects of Weapons"

First Electromagnetic Beam Weapons

The background to the development of anti-personnel electromagnetic weapons can be traced to the early-middle 1940's and possibly earlier.

Japanese "Death Ray"

The earliest extant reference, to my knowledge, was contained in the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey (Pacific Survey, Military Analysis Division, Volume 63) which reviewed Japanese research and development efforts on a "Death Ray."Whilst not reaching the stage of practical application, research was considered sufficiently promising to warrant the expenditure of Yen 2 million during the years 1940-1945.

Summarizing the Japanese efforts, allied scientists concluded that a ray apparatus might be developed that could kill unshielded human beings at a distance of 5 to 10 miles. Studies demonstrated that, for example, automobile engines could be stopped by tuned waves as early as 1943. (1)

It is therefore reasonable to suppose that this technique has been available for a great many years

Nazi Experiments in Mind Manipulation

[E]xperiments in behavior modification and mind manipulation have a much more grisly past. Nazi doctors at the Dachau concentration camp conducted involuntary experiments with hypnosis and narco-hypnosis, using the drug mescaline on inmates. Additional research was conducted at Aushwitz, using a range of chemicals including various barbiturates and morphine derivatives. Many of these experiments proved fatal.

Project CHATTER

Following the conclusion of the war, the U.S. Naval Technical Mission was tasked with obtaining pertinent industrial and scientific material that had been produced by the Third Reich and which may be of benefit to U.S. interests. Following a lengthy report, the Navy instigated Project CHATTER in 1947.

Project PAPERCLIP

Many of the Nazi scientists and medical doctors who conducted hideous experiments were later recruited by the U.S. Army and worked out of Heidelberg prior to being secretly relocated to the United States under the Project PAPERCLIP program. Under the leadership of Dr. Hubertus Strughold, 34 ex-Nazi scientists accepted "Paperclip" contracts, authorized by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and were put to work at Randolph Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.

First Narco-Hypnosis Programs

By 1953 the CIA, U.S. Navy and the U.S. Army Chemical Corps were conducting their own narco-hypnosis programs on unwilling victims that included prisoners, mental patients, foreigners, ethic minorities and those classified as sexual deviants. (2)
[2) For a fuller account of the Nazi experiments refer to Resonance No 29 November 1995, published by the Bioelectromagnetic Special Interest Group of American Mensa Ltd., and drawn from a series of articles published by the Napa Sentinel, 1991 by Harry Martin and David Caul.]

Project MK-ULTRA, 1953, CIA:

Drugs, electronics and electroshock

MKULTRA

It was not until the middle or late 1970's that the American public became aware of a series of hitherto secret programs that had been conducted over the preceding two decades by the military and intelligence community. (3) Primarily focusing on narco-hypnosis, these extensive covert programs bore the project titles MKULTRA, MKDELTA, MKNAOMI, MKSEARCH (MK being understood to stand for Mind Kontrol), BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE and CHATTER.

The principal aim of these and associated programs was the development of a reliable "programmable" assassin. Secondary aims were the development of a method of citizen control. (4)

Dr. Jose Delgado

Particularly relevant was Dr. Jose Delgado's secret work directed towards the creation of a "psycho-civilized" society by use of a "stimoceiver." (5)

Delgado's work was seminal, and his experiments on humans and animals demonstrated that electronic stimulation can excite extreme emotions including rage, lust and fatigue. In his paper "Intracerebral Radio Stimulation and recording in Completely Free Patients," Delgado observed that: "Radio Stimulation on different points in the amygdala and hippocampus in the four patients produced a variety of effects, including pleasant sensations, elation, deep thoughtful concentration, odd feelings, super relaxation (an essential precursor for deep hypnosis), colored visions, and other responses."With regard to the "colored visions" citation, it is reasonable to conclude he was referring to hallucinations -- an effect that a number of so-called "victims" allude to. (7) .

Dr. John C. Lilly

Also of interest is Dr. John C. Lilly (10), who was asked by the Director of the National Institute of Mental Health to brief the CIA, FBI, NSA and military intelligence services on his work using electrodes to stimulate, directly, the pleasure and pain centers of the brain. Lilly said that he refused the request. However, as stated in his book, he continued to do "useful" work for the national security apparatus. In terms of timing this is interesting, for these events took place in 1953.

First use of computers to communicate with the brain

As far back as 1969, Delgado predicted the day would soon arrive when a computer would be able to establish two-way radio communication with the brain -- an event that first occurred in 1974.

Lawrence Pinneo, a neurophysiologist and electronic engineer working for Stanford Research Institute (a leading military contractor), "developed a computer system capable of reading a person's mind. It correlated brain waves on an electroencephalograph with specific commands. Twenty years ago the computer responded with a dot on a TV screen. Nowadays it could be the input to a stimulator (ESB) in advanced stages using radio frequencies." (8)

Drs. Sharp and Frey develop "Microwave Hearing"

Drs. Joseph Sharp and Allen Frey experimented with microwaves seeking to transmit spoken words directly into the audio cortex via a pulsed-microwave analog of the speaker's sound vibration. Indeed, Frey's work in this field, dating back to 1960, gave rise to the so called "Frey effect" which is now more commonly referred to as "microwave hearing." (19) Within the Pentagon this ability is now known as "Artificial Telepathy." (20)

[Footnote 20) Refer to Dr. Robert Becker who has stated "Such a device has obvious applications in covert operations designed to drive a target crazy with "voices" or deliver undetected instructions to a programmed assassin."

Dr. Ross Adey experiments with EM control of emotional states

In his pioneering work, Dr. Ross Adey determined that emotional states and behavior can be remotely influenced merely by placing a subject in an electromagnetic field. By directing a carrier frequency to stimulate the brain and using amplitude modulation to shape the wave to mimic a desired EEG frequency, he was able to impose a 4.5 CPS theta rhythm on his subjects.
Adey and others have compiled an entire library of frequencies and pulsation rates which can affect the mind and nervous system. (21)

Adey induces calcium efflux in brain tissue with low power level fields (a basis for the CIA and military's "confusion weaponry") and has done behavioral experiments with radar modulated at electroencephalogram (EEG) rhythms. He is understandably concerned about environmental exposures within 1 to 30 Hz (cycles per second), either as a low frequency or an amplitude modulation on a microwave or radio frequency, as these can physiologically interact with the brain even at very low power densities.

Dr. Ewen Cameron's experiments in mental programming

Additional studies, conducted by Dr. Ewen Cameron and funded by the CIA, were directed towards erasing memory and imposing new personalities on unwilling patients. Cameron discovered that electroshock treatment caused amnesia. He set about a program that he called "de-patterning" which had the effect of erasing the memory of selected patients. Further work revealed that subjects could be transformed into a virtual blank machine (Tabula Rasa) and then be re-programmed with a technique which he termed "psychic driving." Such was the bitter public outrage, once his work was revealed (as a result of FOIA searches), that Cameron was forced to retire in disgrace.

Operation PANDORA

From 1965 through to 1970, Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA), with up to 70-80% funding provided by the military, set in motion operation PANDORA to study the health and psychological effects of low intensity microwaves with regard to the so-called "Moscow signal" registered at the American Embassy in Moscow.

Initially, there was confusion over whether the signal was an attempt to activate bugging devices or for some other purpose. There was suspicion that the microwave irradiation was being used as a mind control system.

CIA agents asked scientists involved in microwave research whether microwaves beamed at humans from a distance could affect the brain and alter behavior.

Dr. Milton Zarat who undertook to analyze Soviet literature on microwaves for the CIA, wrote: "For non-thermal irradiations, they believe that the electromagnetic field induced by the microwave environment affects the cell membrane, and this results in an increase of excitability or an increase in the level of excitation of nerve cells. With repeated or continued exposure, the increased excitability leads to a state of exhaustion of the cells of the cerebral cortex."

This project appears to have been quite extensive and included (under U.S. Navy funding) studies demonstrating how to induce heart seizures, create leaks in the blood/brain barrier and production of auditory hallucinations.

Despite attempts to render the Pandora program invisible to scrutiny, FOIA filings revealed memoranda of Richard Cesaro, Director of DARPA, which confirmed that the program's initial goal was to "discover whether a carefully controlled microwave signal could control the mind." Cesaro urged that these studies be made "for potential weapons applications." (12)

EM Mind Control Research Goes Black

Following immense public outcry, Congress forbade further research and demanded that these projects be terminated across the board. But as former CIA agent Victor Marchetti later revealed, the programs merely became more covert with a high element of "deniability" built in to them, and that CIA claims to the contrary are a cover story. (13)

Despite the fact that many of the aforementioned projects revolved around the use of narcotics and hallucinogens, projects ARTICHOKE, PANDORA and CHATTER clearly demonstrate that "psychoelectronics" were a high priority.

Indeed, author John Marks' anonymous informant (known humorously as "Deep Trance") stated that beginning in 1963 mind control research strongly emphasized electronics.

1974: Dr. J.F. Scapitz experiments with remote hypnosis

In 1974, Dr. J. F. Scapitz filed a plan to explore the interaction of radio signals and hypnosis. He stated that "In this investigation it will be shown that the spoken word of the hypnotists may be conveyed by modulate 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."

Schapitz' work was funded by the DoD. Despite FOIA filings, his work has never been made available. Also it is interesting to note the date of 1974, which almost exactly mirror's the period when the USSR commenced its own program that resulted in "Acoustic Psycho-correction technology."]

1976: Soviets use ELF transmissions as mind-control weapon

On July 4, 1976 seven giant transmitters in the Ukraine, powered by the Chernobyl nuclear facility, pumped a 100 megawatt radio frequency at the West, which contained a 10 Hz ELF mind control frequency. According to a US scientist, Dr Andrija Puharich, MD, the soviet pulses covered the human brain frequencies. With a Dr Bob Beck, he proved that the Soviet transmissions were a weapon. He found that a 6.65 Hz frequency would cause depression and an 11Hz frequency would cause manic and riotous behaviour. Transmissions could indeed entrain the human brain, and thereby induce behavioural modification such that populations can be mind controlled en masse by ELF transmissions. More importantly, he found that an ELF signal could cause cancer at the flick of a switch. It did this by modifying the function of RNA transference's so that amino acid sequences are scrambled and produce unnatural proteins.

1981: Eldon Byrd develops EM devices for riot control

Scientist Eldon Byrd, who worked for the Naval Surface Weapons Office, was commissioned in 1981 to develop electromagnetic devices for purposes including riot control, clandestine operations and hostage removal. (11)

In the context of a controversy over reproductive hazards to Video Display Terminal (VDT) operators, he wrote of alterations in brain function of animals exposed to low intensity fields. Offspring of exposed animals "exhibited a drastic degradation of intelligence later in life... couldn't learn easy tasks... indicating a very definite and irreversible damage to the central nervous system of the fetus." With VDT operators exposed to weak fields, there have been clusters of miscarriages and birth defects (with evidence of central nervous system damage to the fetus). Byrd also wrote of experiments where behavior of animals was controlled by exposure to weak electromagnetic fields. "At a certain frequency and power intensity, they could make the animal purr, lay down and roll over."

Low-frequency sleep induction

From 1980 to 1983 [. . . ] Eldon Byrd ran the Marine Corps Nonlethal Electromagnetic Weapons project. He conducted most of his research at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute in Bethesda, Md.

"We were looking at electrical activity in the brain and how to influence it," he says.
Byrd, a specialist in medical engineering and bioeffects, funded small research projects, including a paper on vortex weapons by Obolensky. He conducted experiments on animals--and even on himself--to see if brain waves would move into sync with waves impinging on them from the outside. (He found that they would, but the effect was short lived.)

By using very low frequency electromagnetic radiation--the waves way below radio frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum--he found he could induce the brain to release behavior-regulating chemicals. "We could put animals into a stupor," he says, by hitting them with these frequencies. "We got chick brains--in vitro--to dump 80 percent of the natural opioids in their brains," Byrd says. He even ran a small project that used magnetic fields to cause certain brain cells in rats to release histamine.

In humans, this would cause instant flulike symptoms and produce nausea. "These fields were extremely weak. They were undetectable," says Byrd. "The effects were nonlethal and reversible. You could disable a person temporarily," Byrd hypothesizes. "It [would have been] like a stun gun."

Byrd never tested any of his hardware in the field, and his program, scheduled for four years, apparently was closed down after two, he says. "The work was really outstanding," he grumbles. "We would have had a weapon in one year." Byrd says he was told his work would be unclassified, "unless it works." Because it worked, he suspects that the program "went black."

Other scientists tell similar tales of research on electromagnetic radiation turning top secret once successful results were achieved. There are clues that such work is continuing.

In 1995, the annual meeting of four-star U.S. Air Force generals--called CORONA--reviewed more than 1,000 potential projects. One was called "Put the Enemy to Sleep/Keep the Enemy From Sleeping." It called for exploring "acoustics," "microwaves," and "brain-wave manipulation" to alter sleep patterns. It was one of only three projects approved for initial investigation.

Mankind Research Unlimited

An obscure District of Columbia corporation called Mankind Research Unlimited (MRU) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Systems Consultants Inc. (SCI), operated a number of classified intelligence, government and Pentagon contracts, specializing in, amongst other things: "problem solving in the areas of intelligence electronic warfare, sensor technology and applications." (14)

MRU's "capability and experience" is divided into four fields. These include "biophysics -- Biological Effects of Magnetic Fields," "Research in Magneto-fluid Dynamics," "Planetary Electro-Hydro-Dynamics" and "Geo-pathic Efforts on Living Organisms." The latter focuses on the induction of illness by altering the magnetic nature of the geography.

Also under research were "Biocybernetics, Psychodynamic Experiments in Telepathy," "Errors in Human Perception," "Biologically Generated Fields," "Metapsychiatry and the Ultraconscious Mind" (believed to refer to experiments in telepathic mind control), "Behavioural Neuropsychiatry," "Analysis and Measurement of Human Subjective States" and "Human Unconscious Behavioural Patterns."

Employing some old OSS, CIA and military intelligence officers, the company also engages the services of prominent physicians and psychologists including E. Stanton Maxey, Stanley R. Dean Berthold, Eric Schwarz plus many more.

MRU lists in its Company Capabilities "brain and mind control." (15)

1989 CNN Program on EM Weapons

During 1989 CNN aired a program on electromagnetic weapons and showed a U.S. government document that outlined a contingency plan to use EM weapons against "terrorists." Prior to the show a DoD medical engineer sourced a story claiming that in the context of conditioning, microwaves and other modalities had regularly been used against Palestinians.

1992: Maj. Edward Dames and Project GRILL-FLAME

Major Edward Dames, formerly with the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency until 1992, was a long-serving member of the highly classified operation GRILL-FLAME, a program that focused on some of the more bizarre possibilities of intelligence gathering and remote interrogation.

Known as "remote viewers," GRILL-FLAME personnel possessed a marked psychic ability that was put to use "penetrating" designated targets and gathering important intelligence on significant figures.

The program operated with two teams: one working out of the top secret NSA facility at Fort George Meade in Maryland, and the other at SRI. Results are said to have been exemplary.

Following the Oliver North debacle, the Secretary of Defense officially terminated GRILL-FLAME, fearing bad publicity if the program were to become known to the public.

The leading members of the project -- including Dames -- immediately relocated to the privately owned and newly formed Psi-Tech, and continue their work to this day, operating under government contract.

In the course of his work, Dames was (and remains) close to many the leading figures and proponents anti-personnel electromagnetic weapons, especially those that operate in the neurological field.

During NBC's "The Other Side" program, Dames stated that "The U.S. Government has an electronic device which could implant thoughts in people." He refused to comment further. The program was broadcast during April 1995.

1993 Report of "Acoustic Psycho-correction"

In 1993, Defense News announced that the Russian government was discussing with American counterparts the transfer of technical information and equipment known as "Acoustic Psycho-correction." The Russians claimed that this device involves "the transmission of specific commands via static or white noise bands into the human subconscious without upsetting other intellectual functions."

Experts said that demonstrations of this equipment have shown "encouraging" results "after exposure of less than one minute," and has produced "the ability to alter behavior on willing and unwilling subjects."

The article goes on to explain that combined "software and hardware associated with the (sic) psycho-correction program could be procured for as little as U.S. $80,000." The Russians went on to observe that "World opinion is not ready for dealing appropriately with the problems coming from the possibility of direct access to the human mind."

Acoustic psycho-correction dates back to the mid 1970's and can be used to "suppress riots, control dissidents, demoralize or disable opposing forces and enhance the performance of friendly special operations teams." (18)

One U.S. concern in relation to this device was aired by Janet Morris of the Global Strategy Council, a Washington-based think tank established by former CIA deputy director Ray Cline. Morris noted that "Ground troops risk exposure to bone-conducting sound that cannot be offset by earplugs or other protective gear."

In recent months I met with and discussed Russian research efforts, with a contact who had visited Russia earlier this year. He, in turn, met with a number of Russian scientists who are knowledgeable in this field. I have few doubts that the Defense News article cited earlier is fundamentally accurate.

1994 Report on "Less Than Lethal" Weapons

The April 1994 issue of Scientific American carried an article entitled "Bang! You're Alive" which briefly described some of the known arsenal of "Less Than Lethal" weapons presently available. These include laser rifles and low-frequency infrasound generators powerful enough to trigger nausea or diarrhea.

Steve Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) noted that non-lethal weapons have been linked to "mind control" devices and that three of the most prominent advocates of non-lethality share an interest in psychic phenomena. (23)

It is now the opinion of many that these and related programs have been brought under the banner of non-lethal weapons, otherwise known as "less than lethal," which are now promulgated in connection with the doctrine of low intensity conflict, a concept for warfare in the 21st century.

It is clear that many of these Pentagon and related LTL programs operate under high classification. Others consider many similar or related "black" programs are funded from the vast resources presently available under the U.S. counter-drug law enforcement policy which has a FY 1995 budget of $13.2 billion. (25)

On 21 July 1994, Defense Secretary William J. Perry issued a memorandum on non-lethal weapons which outlined a tasking priority list for use of these technologies. Second on the list was "crowd control". Coming in at a poor fifth was "Disable or destroy weapons or weapon development/production processes, including suspected weapons of mass destruction."

It is therefore clear that non-lethality is fundamentally seen as anti-personnel rather than anti-material.

In July 1996, the Spotlight, a widely circulated right-wing U.S. newspaper, reported that well-placed DoD sources have confirmed a classified Pentagon contract for the development of "high-power electromagnetic generators that interfere with human brain waves." The article cited the memorandum of understanding dated 1994 between Attorney General Janet Reno, and Defense Secretary William Perry for transfer of LTL weapons to the law enforcement sector.

A budget of under $50 million has been made available for funding associated "black" programs.

Dr. Emery Horvath, a professor of physics at Harvard University, has stated in connection to the generator that interferes with human brain waves that "These electronic 'skull-zappers' are designed to invade the mind and short circuit its synapses... in the hands of government technicians, it may be used to disorient entire crowds, or to manipulate individuals into self destructive acts. It's a terrifying weapon." (26)

In a 1993 U.S. Air Command and Staff College paper entitled Non Lethal Technology and Air Power, authors Maj. Jonathan W. Klaaren (USAF) and Maj. Ronald S. Mitchell (USAF) outlined selected NLT weapons. These included "Acoustic" (pulsed/attenuated high-intensity sound, infrasound (very low frequency) and Polysound (high volume, distracting) as well as high-power microwaves (HPM) that possessed the ability to deter or incapacitate human beings.

These and other classified weapons are being passed to domestic law enforcement agencies, as shown by the 1995 ONDCP (Office of National Drug Control Policy) International Technology Symposium, "Counter-Drug Law Enforcement: Applied Technology for Improved Operational Effectiveness," which outlined the "Transition of advanced military technologies to the civil law enforcement environment."

There are some observers who fear that the burgeoning narcotics industry is an ideal "cover" in which to "transit" Non Lethal Technologies to domestic political tasks. Whether this is merely a misplaced "Orwellian" fear remains to be seen. (27)

Have weapons of this nature been developed and field tested?

Judging from the number of individuals and groups coming forward with complaints of harassment, the answer appears to be "yes." Kim Besley, of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, has compiled a fairly extensive catalogue of effects that have resulted from low frequency signals emanating from the U.S. Greenham Common base, apparently targeted at the women protesters. These include: vertigo, retinal bleeding, burnt face (even at night), nausea, sleep disturbances, palpitations, loss of concentration, loss of memory, disorientation, severe headaches, temporary paralysis, faulty speech co-ordination, irritability and a sense of panic in non-panic situations. Identical and similar effects have been reported elsewhere and appear to be fairly common-place amongst so-called "victims."

Many of these symptoms have been associated in medical literature with exposure to microwaves and especially through low intensity or non-thermal exposures. (22) These have been reviewed by Dr. Robert Becker, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize, and a specialist in EM effects. His report confirms that the symptoms mirror those he would expect to see had Microwave weapons been deployed.

Jack Verona and Project SLEEPING BEAUTY

Project MONARCH

Other sources have revealed a project entitled MONARCH which, supposedly, is directed towards the deliberate creation of severe multiple personality disorder. (24)

Telepathy as a natural skill

2006-06-05T23:04:00.000-07:00

The last post, about telepathy and Kabbalah, suggests that telepathy is not only a spiritual gift, but also a natural skill that can be developed through spiritual practice or refinement of the mind. It can be learned and taught. But the methods are closely held secrets. Only the most holy and learned men can discover or share these secrets, which they hold as a sacred trust. In no way can the practice of telepathy be separated from religious practice and the word of God.

As one might expect, the military and scientific community want to do away with all the religious mumbo-jumbo. They have a much more profane view of telepathy: they see it as a powerful tool or weapon. If it's a skill that can be taught, they want to extract the core of that teaching, reduce it to a set of drills, and forget the religious stuff. If it can be expressed in the terminology of computer science, all the better!

One finds exactly that attitude in the post at the link below, which purports to be a "Telepathy Seminar" held in Germany in the 1980s:

http://www.freezone.org/cbr/e_telepa.htm

Most notable for our purpose is the matter-of-fact way in which the leader of the seminar claims that the "spy agencies" of the United States, Russia, and China are actively engaged in the use of telepathy as a weapon, against innocent civilians. The host claims that he wants to teach some basic telepathy skills to the audience so that they can learn to defend themselves. Telepathy is very clearly seen as a weapon of offense and defense, and only secondarily as a "neat" way to communicate and save on phone bills.

This is a far cry from the sacred or religious view of telepathy expressed in the previous post.

It may be ironic that the host of this seminar is speaking to an audience steeped in the "religion" of Scientology. Apparently, Scientologists claim to have mastered the mental skills of telepathy, but they simultaneously adopt the language and attitudes of computer technicians.

Kabbalah and Telepathy

2006-06-04T22:07:00.000-07:00

Wikipedia defines the term "telepathy" in an excellent article that may be found at this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telepathy

"Telepathy" comes from the Greek words tele ("distant") patheia ("feeling"). It refers to the claimed ability of humans to communicate information from one mind to another, without the use of extra tools, such as speech or body language.

Technically, the term "artificial telepathy" does not fit this definition, because "artificial" implies the use of extra tools, such as computers, microwaves and scanning devices. In its purest, most ancient, and most natural form, telepathy employs no such tools. It requires nothing but a well-trained mind.

Scientific investigation of telepathy "is generally recognized as having begun with the initial program or research of the Society for Psychical Research. The apex of their early investigations was the report published in 1886 as the two-volume work Phantasms of the Living. It was with this work that telepathy was introduced, replacing the earlier term 'thought transference."

Prior to 1886, it is difficult to find any references to the word telepathy. But the history of telepathy seems to be very ancient indeed. We find examples of mind-reading and thought transference in several ancient texts.

In the Bible, for example, we find many references to "voice hearing" and "visions" that appear in prophetic dreams. On the feast of Pentecost, the apostles of Jesus experience a "gift of tongues" that allows them to understand the speech of strangers. This could be loosely defined as Concept Telepathy.

The following article gives an excellent summary of the ancient Jewish concept of telepathy as it relates to the modern study of Kabbalah. This definition of "natural" or "spiritual" telepathy helps establish a baseline. We can use it later to understand the difference between "natural" and "artificial" telepathy:

http://www.torahscience.org/communicat/kabbalah_and_telepathy.htm

Hearing Voices

2006-06-02T22:36:00.000-07:00

The experience of "Artificial Telepathy" is really not that extraordinary. It's as simple as receiving a cell-phone call in one's head.

Indeed, most of the technology involved is exactly identical to that of cell-phone technology. Satellites link the sender and the receiver. A computer "multiplexer" routes the voice signal of the sender through microwave towers to a very specifically defined location or cell. The "receiver" is located and tracked with pinpoint accuracy, to within a few feet of actual location. But the receiver is not a cell phone. It's a human brain.

Out of nowhere, a voice suddenly blooms in the mind of the target. The human skull has no "firewall" and therefore cannot shut the voice out. The receiver can hear the sender's verbal thoughts. The sender, in turn, can hear all of the target's thoughts, exactly as if the target's verbal thoughts had been spoken or broadcast. For this reason, the experience could be called "hearing voices" but is more properly described as "artificial telepathy".

Now, if artificial telepathy were entirely voluntary, like a conversation between friends sitting across the room from one other, it might be kind of cool. One could talk back and forth with one's friend, exchanging verbal thoughts exactly as if speaking on the phone, but without ever using one's voice or mouth. It's a completely silent, subvocal form of speech. Between lovers, this would be beautiful.

The problem is that artificial telepathy provides the perfect weapon for mental torture and information theft. It provides an extremely powerful means for exploiting, harassing, controlling, and raping the mind of any person on earth. It opens the window to quasi-demonic possession of another person's soul.

When used as a "nonlethal" weapons system it becomes an ideal means for neutralizing or discrediting a political opponent. Peace protestors, inconvenient journalists and the leaders of vocal opposition groups can be stunned into silence with this weapon.

Artificial telepathy also offers an ideal means for complete invasion of privacy. If all thoughts can be read, then Passwords, PIN numbers, and personal secrets simply cannot be protected. One cannot be alone in the bathroom or shower. Embarrassing private moments cannot be hidden: they are subject to all manner of hurtful comments and remarks. Evidence can be collected for blackmail with tremendous ease: all the wrongs or moral lapses of one's past are up for review.

Like a perverted phone caller, a hostile person with this technology in hand can call at any time of day, all day long. Sleep can be disrupted. Prayers can be desecrated, religious beliefs mocked. Business meetings can be interrupted, thoughts derailed. Love can be polluted, perverted, twisted, abused. Dreams can be invaded, fond memories trashed.

The attacker cannot be seen or identified, the attack cannot be stopped, and the psychological damage is enormous. But there is no physical damage, not one single mark is left on the body and there is absolutely no proof that any crime or any violation ever took place! Everything that "happens" to the victim happens inside the victim's head. What physical evidence is there to give the police? Without physical evidence, how can one photograph the "crime scene" or fingerprint the stalker? There are no footprints leading to or from the scene. Indeed, there is no physical scene at all, and no evidence that an attack ever took place.

Most people who experience this abusive form of "artificial telepathy" feel as if their mind has been raped. They find themselves hunted, stalked, harassed and abused by a person or persons who refuse to give their names, who defile one's mind with the most foul and perverse language imaginable, and who refuse to hang up or go away. The caller or callers delight in the perverse and sadistic torture of their targets. Furthermore, they delight in violating the privacy of their targets, reading the target's mind and commenting on everything the target thinks, in an effort to demonstrate as brutally as possible that the target has no privacy at all.

The callers act, in short, exactly like rapists or perverted stalkers. Imagine what a man might do if he found a "magic cell phone" that allowed him to dial into the heads and the private thoughts of anyone on earth. The temptation to choose a target at random and start spying on or abusing that person would be enormous, almost irresistable. It could become a sick and twisted hobby, a guilty pleasure very quickly. Put into the hands of a secret police unit, the potential for abusing such technology is even more chilling.

Now, the natural reaction of a normal and intelligent person who undergoes the horrible experience of mind rape for the first time is to panic and reach for a real phone. They call family, contact their doctor or call police with a bizarre complaint that "someone is beaming voices into my head."

But if the police are the ones behind the abuse, the victims aren't going to get much help, are they? And if the police are not the perpetrators, then how are they to make an arrest? It's much more convenient and easy to believe that the caller is a nutcase.

In short order, the victim of mind rape finds herself or himself undergoing the additional humiliation of being carted off to the psych ward, often being committed involuntarily by a loved one "for one's own good."

The more vehement the efforts to prove that the voice or voices in one's head are "real", the more smug become the smiles of the medical doctors, who gently insist that such technology does not exist, that the voices cannot possibly be real, and that one must take a powerful psych med and lie down for a good long rest.

The experience of "hearing voices" -- especially voices that give a running stream of negative abuse -- will gain one automatic admission to the rubber room. Indeed, hearing voices is a classic example of schizophrenia. If you hear voices, you are, by definition, crazy.

Yet when released from the psych ward with an expensive supply of meds, "voice hearers" often find that the meds are ineffective -- exactly as one would expect if their problem had nothing to do with brain chemistry and everything to do with a bio-electronic attack by unseen stalkers.

Voice hearers often puzzle psychiatrists, because many of them don't fit the classic model of schizophrenia, which usually begins onset in the early twenties. The victims of "artificial telepathy" are often well into their thirties or fourties and many have no prior history of serious mental illness or drug abuse. Many seem to be alert, healthy, and rational even while insisting that they can hear voices. They agree with the psychiatrists that, yes, they are depressed, but who wouldn't be a bit depressed under such trying circumstances? To be stalked and verbally bullied every waking hour of the day is a form of mental torture.

Victims of mind rape quickly learn not to discuss their "psychological problems" with family and coworkers. It's embarrassing, it's bizarre, it gets very little sympathy and only serves to alarm most people. The only way that another person can "help" is to suggest that the mind rape victim see a psychiatrist, who will promptly double one's dose of psych meds and antidepressants. The result is a very stiff medical bill, which only adds financial pain to the mix. And the verbal harassment continues.

As they learn to endure their daily torture, voice hearers can usually return to mainstream life, where they are able to carry on intelligent, coherent conversations, hold down jobs, and function quite normally. In fact, if they don't discuss their "problem" they usually can't be told apart from normal people on the street. Because they are normal people.

The growing number of voice hearers in our society is therefore well masked. Those who continue to insist that there is a "secret society of people beaming voices into our heads" are simply laughed into silence or labelled paranoid schizophrenics. They are completely discredited. In fact, many voice hearers have internalized the idea that they are mentally ill, and they struggle to understand how their "auditory hallucinations" could continue to seem so very, very real.

Naturally, many of these voice hearers are deeply confused. They turn to support groups, including such on-line communities as the Voice Hearers' support group at Yahoo.com.

Anyone who doubts that "artificial telepathy" exists need only contact such a Voice Hearers community, where they will encounter people who continue to insist that they are being harassed by real people using an unknown or unexplained technology.

Surprisingly, there is a tremendous amount of scientific literature and circumstantial evidence to back up that claim.

In the following posts, we will explore the history of synthetic telepathy and learn the names of the scientists who developed this sinister technology. We will also identify and examine some of the government agencies that are fielding and using this weapon of torture against innocent civilians.

As the background material develops, it will become increasingly clear that we are discussing a modern day Manhattan Project -- a super-secret research program more sinister -- and potentially more devastating -- than the development of the atomic bomb.

Bio-electromagnetic Weapons

This is the opening paragraph to an excellent article found at the Institute of Science in Society website: http://www.i-sis.org.uk/BW.php

It provides a brief, well written definition of "artificial telepathy" or "bio-electromagnetic weapons."

I will try to add more history and background in further posts. -- M

A weapon system that operates at the speed of light, that can kill, torture, enslave and escape detection. Harlan Girard

The ultimate weapon

"Electromagnetic weapons operate at the speed of light; they can kill, torture and enslave; but the public are largely unaware that they exist, because these weapons operate by stealth and leave no physical evidence. Electromagnetic weapons have been tested on human beings since 1976. By widely dispersing the involuntary human test-subjects, and vehemently attacking their credibility, it has been possible for the United States to proceed with these human experiments unhindered by discussions or criticisms, let alone opposition.

"This ultimate weapon system is currently being deployed in Iraq. The US Air Force and the Marine Corps refer to it as “active denial technology”, as if it were used purely for defense, but it is not."
