Chapter 1

The Victims

Who are victims of electromagnetic nonconsensual experimentation?

In the eyes of the general public, nonconsensual experimentation has been a non-issue, an issue that comes and goes and that the public knows little about. While most agree with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, which states that "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights", in practice victims of human experiments without their consent have lost their rights in the United States. There has been the Tuskegee syphilis experiments, conducted by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and radiation experiments by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. Recently, President Clinton stated publicly that he was sorry that the Tuskegee experiments took place. Forty years have passed before the U.S. government admitted to the classified radiation experiments, although victims had tried to bring the issue into the public arena. Now there are allegations of nonconsensual classified experiments involving new electromagnetic technologies.

There have been victim reports as early as 1955. Like most illegal experiment programs, powerless people have been targeted. The use and development of the technology in experimentation began with scattered cases in prisons and hospitals, on street people and mental patients, political enemies of the state and on foreigners in the 1950s and 60s. By the 1990s, middleclass people and also professionals who are victims from most countries of the world are coming forward with stories of torture, mainly from the United States and Russia. Some cases include children. Victims say that the experimenters have no morals.

Victims report the control of the behaviors of groups of people, indicating a computer-radar system. The above description may sound far-fetched but less so within the context of this book. The U.S. News and World Report, Jan 24, 1994, p. 34 article entitled "Cold War Experiments" is an excellent overview of US government experimentation. Recently, there have been reports of Cold War radiation and sterilization experiments in Norway supported by the U.S. and Norwegian government from the 1940s-1990s reported by the London Times, 4-29-98 entitled, "US and Norway Used Insane for Nazi-style Tests".

Victims state the goal of the targeting is to destroy them, physically, mentally, professionally and on a personal level, to drive them to violence or suicide. The victims report debilitating, extremely disruptive and severe tactics along with the physical and mental harassment twenty-four hours a day, anywhere in the world, for years on end.
   

Victim claims
with comparisons to unclassified technology

L.J. West, a CIA psychiatrist who died in Jan. 1999 (see previous CAHRA [now Mind Justice] article on US Human Rights Abuse) worked on studies of brainwashing to determine why American prisoners of war falsely confessed to engaging in germ warfare in the 1950s. West determined that guilt could be instilled by solitary confinement and prolonged sleeplessness as well as by physical abuse. He explained the behavior of cult members and kidnapping victims, as the product of the three Ds-debility, dread and dependency. A prisoner is debilitated by inactivity, by sleep loss and filled with dread by constant threats of pain or death or harm to his family. He is rendered completely dependent upon his captors for information , food, shelter and life.

As a comparison, here are a few articles discussing current technology. This describes military goals in psychological warfare and matches the total devastation of victims lives by this technology. Defense News 9-14-20-98 p1, the subtitle is "Mobile Bedlam Brigades would sow broad chaos, confusion". It stated " Essentially, the concept's aim 'is to control the will and perception of adversaries, from privates to princelings, by applying a regime of shock and awe,' group member Harlan Ullman, said Sept 9. " It is about effecting behavior."

IEEE Almanack, April 2000 page 3 lists Dr. Don H. Johnson, he earned electrical engineering degrees from MIT and is conducting research on "how the brain processes sound and light." And in Intersections by the New York Academy of Sciences, April 2000, an article is entitled, "From the Decade of the Brain to the Decade of the Mind." The article stated, "Considerable progress has been made in elucidating the brain pathways involved in detecting and responding to threatening stimuli, and learning about novel threats. The mechanisms of emotion and emotional memory within the domain of fear are emerging as a paradigmatic example of a well-characterized function of the brain."

"Supercomputing in Brain Research: From Tomography to Neural Networks, edited by J.H. Hermann et al. is an example of the extensive use of computers in brain research. Both corporate and government researchers are interested in t he fundamental cutting edge scientific questions as the following article will demonstrate. Approaching the 21st Century: Opportunities for NIMH Neuroscience Research The National Advisory Mental Health Council report to Congress on the Decade of the Brain", Jan. 1988 by USHHS. It listed 50 Important Questions to Answer in the Decade Ahead; Here is a sample. 6. How are memories encoded, stored and retrieved? 9. How can we create functional connections between artificial microcircuits and the nervous system? 28. What essential properties of the brain give rise to conscious awareness? 30. What is the function of sleep, and how is it regulated by the brain? 46. What advances in mathematics, physics, and computer science can be used to enhance noninvasive bran imaging techniques?
   

Microwave hearing: Government documents reveal history of an intelligence tool

There are several government and scientific books and articles describing the microwave technology capable of creating microwave hearing. Thanks to Margo Cherney's FOIA request, here is the June 1, 1980 NASA abstract Report Number: AD-A090426. Margo received this letter from Brooks Air Force Base, Jan.25, 2000. Freedom of Information Act Request. ".Communicating Via the Microwave Auditory Effect: Awarding Agency: Dept. of Defense SBIR. The requested information is fully denied under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(1)." Copy of letter available upon request. ) This NASA abstract clearly demonstrates the military mentality behind the development of microwave hearing.

A decoy and deception concept presently being considered is to remotely create the perception of noise in the heads of personnel by exposing them to low power, pulsed microwave. When people are illuminated with properly modulated low power microwaves the sensation is reported as a buzzing, clicking, or hissing which seems to originate (regardless of the person's position in the field) within or just behind the head. The phenomena occurs at average power densities as low as microwatts per square centimeter with carrier frequencies from 0.4 to 3.0 GHz. By proper choice of pulse characteristics, intelligible speech may be created. Before this technique may be extended and used for military applications, an understanding of the basic principles must be developed. Such an understanding is not only required to optimize the use of the concept for camouflage, decoy and deception operations but is required to properly assess safety factors of such microwave exposure.

The phenomena of 'hearing voices' as in the mental illness, schizophrenia is described in government documents with plans to use microwave hearing for covert military operations. For example, Microwave News Jan/Feb 1997 p 14. U.S. Air Force Looks to the Battlefields of the Future: Electromagnetic Fields That Might "Boggle the Mind" " It would also appear possible to create high fidelity speech in the human body, raising the possibility of covert suggestion and psychological direction. "

See also Microwave and Behavior by Dr. Don R Justesen published in American Psychologist Vol. 30, March 1975 Number 3. This article describes in precise terms how Dr. Joseph C. Sharp and staff transmitted the words for the digits 1 to 10 using a modulated version of an Allan Frey type pulsed microwave transmitter, i.e. voice to skull technology. See http://home.nas.net/~raven1/frey.htm for full article.

Microwave hearing is not new. A 1976 senate staff report of the subcommittee on Constitutional Rights of the Committee on the Judiciary entitled "Surveillance Technology" is a must read. Page 1280 stated as follows.

From the Federal Times, Dec. 13, 1976 "Microwave Weapons Study by Soviets Cited." The Defense Intelligence Agency has released a report on heavy Communist research on microwaves, including their use as weapons. Microwaves are used in radar, television and microwave ovens. They can cause disorientation and possibly heart attacks in humans. Another biological effect with possible anti-personnel uses is "microwave hearing." "Sounds and possibly even words which appear to be originating intracranially (within the head) can be induced by signal modulation at very low average power densities," the report said. According to the study, Communist work in this area " has great potential for development into a system for disorienting or disrupting the behavior patterns of military or diplomatic personnel." No mention was made of the still-unexplained microwave bombardment of the American Embassy in Moscow. The study dealt largely with long-term exposure of days or weeks in industrial situations, which usually produce mild effects. Sort exposure to intense radiation can cause heart seizure and a wide range of physical disorders.

A CIA FOIA search for documents on 'Auditory' listed the following document. "F80-0547, 1974-12-02 untitled (Discusses A Highlight of the Conference on Auditory or Noise-In-The-Head Effect)
   

Frequently asked question: How can one person can hear microwave hearing while a person nearby cannot?

This is a possible explanation. "US lab Tests Hypersonic Sound for Nonlethal Use", Defense News 9-14-98 page 3, stated ".a weapon that used low-frequency sound waves to incapacitate enemy soldiers. Designed by American Technology Corp. and called Hypersonic Sound, this weapon is highly directional that enables a user to beam sound at an individual or group of people. .It causes disorientation, pain and nausea. "It's hard to lead a group of people when you're having trouble standing up and you've just gone in your pants." said Del Kintner, the company's director of military programs."

The article continues to report that this weapon uses a new techniques for using air instead of a plunger-like speaker to create a sound wave. Working with the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, CA, the company uses two beams of ultrasonic sound at slightly different frequencies and the sum of the two and the difference between the two create different signals. These signals "can be precisely aimed". The Monterey School is also working on "a technology licensed from a German inventor named Hans Raida that can be combined with the HyperSonic Sound technology to create a high-powered , low frequency, long-range beam of sound, said Marine Corps Maj. Franz Gayle. "Hypothetically, we could make a weapon with huge amplitude using almost no energy," Please compare to ultrasonic bug and pest repeller advertisement below.)
   

Victims describe more symptoms
with comparisons to science and military articles

The NASA report above, AD A090426 continues;

Under MERADCOM's In-House Laboratory Independent Research (ILIR) Program an experimental effort to explore the basic interaction

between microwaves and brain function has been conducted. In a joint program with DERADCOM, Stanford Research Institute (SRI) and Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), it was shown for the first time that lethality, seizures and behavioral performance decrements were strongly frequency and polarization dependent (2,3). A later collaboration between MERADCOM and WRAIR demonstrated for the first time increases in the differential uptake of saccharides to water in several brain regions of rats when exposed to low power microwaves of the same characteristics which can create the perception of noise in people (4). These increases could be caused by alternations of the blood-brain barrier, brain blood volume, cerebral blood flow, or some combination of the above. In order to better define and understand these results a joint program was undertaken with MERADCOM, Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to measure local cerebral blood flow in conscious rats when exposed to low power, pulsed microwaves. It is these experiments which will be reported here.

A second example, ABCNEWS.com World News Tonight with Peter Jennings March 19, 1998 A Closer Look, Magnetic Therapy for Depression. with Forrest Sawyer, John McKenzie An ABC News transcript described magnetic therapy for depression, " technology that can be used to manipulate people's thought processes, their mood, their memories and possibly even their will, if it is developed sufficiently."

As summarized in the New York Times Magazine, Sept 29, 1996, on Magnetic therapy. "scientists realized the key was rapidly pulsing the current on and off. .Here's how it might work: A hand-held computer programs the pattern at which the fields will fluctuate. The impulses move through the temporal lobe and penetrate deep into the brain, where they interfere and interact with the complex electrical patterns of the subject's neural fields. .When Persinger focuses the solenoids on the right hemisphere. they sense.a negative presence, an alien. If you interfere with the opiate pattern, people get very irritated,"

Here is an examples of the great interest in brain research today. The San Francisco Chronicle, page 1 carried the 10-9-98 article entitle Brain: New Way to Map Mind and it stated, " More than 25,000 brain experts have descended on Los Angeles to discuss such mysteries as how people hear music, feel pain and learn language." ". Electrical activity can also be monitored directly, using a system of radar and electrodes on the skull, according to Kurt Hecox at the University of Wisconsin. He displayed results of one series of experiments last week at the annual meeting of the American Pain society,"

Victims have described it as "like an electronic prison". Every electrical system in the environment can be controlled remotely, including people. Some victims call this 'street theater' and 'perception management'. It seems to be that by changing the timing and emphasis of normal stimuli in the environment, the scientist can see how the victim processes information. Victims report very repetitive, pavlovian type stimulus.

Here is an example of Pavlovian stimulus-response behavioral techniques used in recent experiments. Neuroscience of Mental Health II by the NIH Pub #95-4000 is also an excellent overview of the current state of neuroscience. One of the goals of the NIMH is to

" Completely map all connections within the brain and define these neurocircuits in terms of their functions, morphology and chemistry; the areas of highest interest to the NIMH are those neural systems and tracts involved with cognition and emotions(page vi)." On page 86 is the following. " Emotional memory is readily studied in the laboratory using Pavlovian defensive conditioning, also known as fear conditioning. A test subject receives a neutral stimulus, such as a light or tone, simultaneously with a noxious stimulus, such as a mild shock. After a few pairings, the light or tone comes to elicit emotional responses without shock. .Through fear conditioning, then, stimuli acquire emotional meaning by way of association with emotional stimuli."

This quote is from Aviation Week & Space Technology 1-19-98 p.55 on information warfare and US capabilities. ". techniques as esoteric as 'mapping the psychological and cognitive makeup' of foreign leaders or key groups in order to predict reactions to manipulated information, ." . And the follow up story, on 3-9-98, page 21 stated that [USAF Gen. John] "Jumper talked about tools that could.make potential enemies see, hear and believe things that don't exist" The military is discussing the deployment of weapons to do just that, create symptoms of mental illness. And yet this information is not taken seriously by professionals and has not been accepted as relevant to victim's allegations.

The movie, "The Truman Show" portrays an unwitting subject of a TV program about a man's everyday life from birth on, twenty-four hours a day, until he figures it out. His whole life was engineered from start to finish for the TV program that people would watch. Victims say that the movie is like 'street theater' except that their case is extremely negative. There is a new television program entitled 'Big Brother' that surveils occupants of an apartment, around the clock. It is a popular program according to the papers.

One excellent example similar to 'perception management' and 'street theater' described by victims is the following. Nonlethal technologies is described in Defense News, 12-14-20-98. The headline reads "Israel Looks for Technology To Fight Hezbollah Guerrillas. "This would include crowd-control and urban warfare devices that temporarily could paralyze an entire village, and allow Israeli troops to identify and capture guerrillas". "With these capabilities, we can hunt guerrillas in urban areas without hurting anybody," [Shmuel Gordon, researcher for the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies] said.

Here is an example of psychological warfare. Senator Sam Nunn predicted that the morale of Iraq's troops would determine the length of the Gulf War (New York Times News Service 1-19-91). The article was entitled "US conducts psychological warfare on Iraq" and described the propaganda efforts used against Iraq. "I believe that the key is the psychology of the Iraqi military," he said, "I certainly think it's possible there could be a psychological breakdown here, and if that happens, it could go very rapidly." It is easier to see what victims are describing in light of the military mindset. The government would conduct human experiments to know how to reliably get the enemy to surrender or to destroy the enemy.

This is an example of unclassified experiments by top scientists. They are studying electromagnetic technology on brain function. Victim claims become less far-fetched in light of this information. In "Approaching the 21st Century: Opportunities for NIMH Neuroscience Research The National Advisory Mental Health Council Report to Congress on the Decade of the Brain", Jan. 1988 by USHHS. Page 49 stated " Several investigators had noted that when neurons were given brief but intense high-frequency stimulation their electrical properties were changed in ways that would fit those proposed for memory: The changes were triggered by an electrical event, they were strengthened by repetition, and they persisted indefinitely. .the scientists found that intense high-frequency pulses trigger an unusually large release of calcium in the post synaptic cell."

It is interesting to note that ketamine research was also mentioned on the same page 49. Ketamine has also recently been in the news concerning unethical research practices funded by the NIMH, see Sacramento Bee 1-1-99 p A18, "Date-rape drug tested in humans, researchers criticized for 'inducing psychosis'." .test subjects took ketamine, also known as "Special K" or the "date rape drug." . The idea of inducing psychosis in psychology or psychiatry, is the worst thing that can happen," Carl Tishler, an adjunct professor at Ohio State U. " If you are a cardiologist, do you induce a heart attack in someone to see what it's like so you can study it?" ".But scientists say ketamine can give researchers insight into the nature of hallucinations and mood disorders, helping to unlock the mysteries of mental illness. The experiments began in the early 1990s. They were designed to provoke symptoms of schizophrenia in healthy people during a one-time exposure, said Dr. Trey Sunderland, chairman of NIMH's review board."

From Christian Science Monitor, 6-29-95 page 3. " Pentagon explores fighting the Enemy with Glue, Bad Odors." Some relevant excerpts include the following. "Funding for other nonlethal technologies are hidden in top-secret 'black budgets," And "The Council on Foreign Relations report examined a number of global hot spots in which nonlethal technologies might have been useful."

From Defense News 6-8-14-98 by George Seffers the headline reads "US Urban Warfare Planners Test New Technologies" "Because urban warfare is expected to become increasingly common, the services until 2000 will continue conducting a series of urban warfare experiments. One of the tests include hearing protection, including some that mute sounds at high decibels while enhancing sounds in the more ordinary hearing ranges such as voices or radio transmission. The interest in hearing and its psychological effects has been tested on victims for years, according to allegations.

Even in the unclassified sector, new technology includes surveillance for 'abnormal behavior' in order to alert security personnel of criminal behavior such as a car break in New Scientist, 12-11-99 Vol. 164, No. 2216 page 25 by Graham-Rowe, Ducan, described the technology as a computer programmed under the notion that most people behave in predictable ways when walking to their car. This behavior is transferred into a mathematical pattern and the computer recognizes it as such. "Anyone who deviates from this set pattern, such as someone who walks in circles or who lurks in shadows, will set off an alarm." This is just a small example of human behavior and how it is studied scientifically. No doubt with the political will and the money of national security defense, as victims are alleging, human behavior has been studied and is controlled by government technology.

Here are a few examples of the advanced state of technology. Science Digest 7-84 page 30 stated Thomas Jensen, of Chicago's Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center, and Donald York "have discovered that just before a person says a particular word, the brain emits waves peculiar to that word alone. . These waves are the same from person to person."

Dr. Richard Clark at the Flinders University of South Australia wrote the following in Think, Sept/Oct 92. Artificial neural network computer programs are used " to include the ability to learn and recognize simple patterns of thought from the electrical fields of the brain."

Science Digest 10-81 entitled "Machines that read Minds" by Gary Selden stated that " Indeed, CIA spokespeople have admitted 'following' ERP[This is the waveform that the brain characteristically emits after absorbing an external event] research, perhaps the way the agency followed LSD research in the 1950s. .With remote monitors, such an instrument would be a spy's dream." It is naive to think that the CIA has not exploited this research.

In Nature, 1-22-98 Denis Le Bihan, a researcher at the French Atomic Energy Commission, he stated " we can almost read people's thoughts". The national bioethics committee is taking such threats so seriously that it is launching a study. The title of this article was "Advances in neuroscience may threaten human rights".

Once targeted 99% of victims are targeted for life. This happens in all of the cases reported to CAHRA [now Mind Justice] so far. There are many examples in scientific research of longitudinal research. Field studies are very desirable to scientists. Dr. S.B. Sells of the Institute of Behavioral Research at Texas Christian University is one example. He has investigated space research studies and edited texts on human functioning in longitudinal perspective. Since most people aren't aware of the vast amount of research, here are a few titles that give an idea of how scientists conduct human experiments. "Studies of Normal and Psychopathic Populations", "Patterns of Deviance", " Prediction of Outcome from Childhood Behavior" and "Clinical Picture at First Hospital Admission". The alleged experiments on victims today would be classified but these examples illustrate the direction and interest of scientists. Because of advanced technology, experiments do not have to be conducted in labs. Psyops as described above can be perfected in the field on unwitting victims. The science of huamn behavior, although classified, has come of age.
   

In addition to experimentation, it is a surveillance and political weapon and victims report being systematically discredited

The description of the victims allegations matches the following examples of government motive, clearly stated in a Draft Department of Defense Directive Jan 1, 1995, Non-Lethal Weapons Policy by Dr. Christopher Lamb of the Pentagon's Special Operations/Low-intensity Conflict. Under "Employment, or specific cases of the use of non-lethal weapons", it stated the following. " The term 'adversary' is used above in its broadest sense, including those who are not declared enemies but who are engaged in activities we wish to stop." The article does go on to state that it is not for domestic use. The possibility for abuse is there and there are no safeguards or laws on electromagnetic weapons.

What causes violence, can a political enemy be remotely controlled to commit suicide or cause a car accident? How are personalities formed, how are multiple personalities created, how can crowds be controlled? How can soldiers be made to kill on command? How does sleep deprivation affect performance in space? The answers are probably classified.

The controversial Dr. Jose Delgado described the following unclassified animal experiments. The New York Post, 3-22-67 headline read "Monkey Rejects Its Young on Radio's Order, Test Explores Way to Aid Mentally Ill". The article states under the subheading "Goal of Experiments",

"This is the latest and most sophisticated of a series of experiments Dr. Delgado has conducted in the electrical control of mental functions. His objective is not to manipulate, but to explore the physical and chemical basis of emotional and thought and also to develop new ways to treat the mentally ill. .and to control the sleep cycles of astronauts."

Animal techniques have already been applied to humans according to alleged victims The scientific background, motivation and basis for nonconsensual experiments as described by victims is evident

Victim's accounts are available on a website called the Mind Control Forum and victims have described in agonizing details, their experiences with this issue. It is not known how many victims have died. The Times Herald Record Dec. 15, 1994 reported a New York Times article on this alleged victim who died as a result of experimentation.

Instead, the police said, they [thirty-five university students] were held hostage for two and a half hours by a rifle-welding psychology student who ranted about a microchip in his brain, threatened to kill the students and demanded to speak to President Clinton, Gov. Mario M. Cuomo, members of Congress, the university president and financial-aid officials. The standoff ended when a 19-year -old sophomore from Long Island lunged at the gunman, who shot him once before others in the class wrestled him to the ground. [Note: The gunman, Tortorici committed suicide in prison.]

The purpose of this paper is to provide an understanding of the problem in order to save just one more victim. People react differently to extreme torture and the goal is to offer real hope for an end to the suffering. Working towards that goal is a better way to channel the absolute rage and extreme emotions which are inevitable as one's life is destroyed and one's mind is literally raped for years on end. Torture has indeed been improved and is a classified science. The heroes are the victims who survive this new Holocaust.
   

How many victims allege electromagnetic targeting?

There is no accurate count of victims. Estimates vary between 300 to 1,000, to estimates based on radiation and cold war experiments of one half million. I have heard of estimates of 100,000 by another electromagnetic victims group. Recently victims from Japan, Germany, Bulgaria, Spain, Italy, Israel, South America, Canada, England, Scotland and more are going public. Victims are contacting me through my website at a rate of about 3-5 per month and as of spring 2000, CAHRA [now Mind Justice] has networked with over 500 alleged survivors.
   

Russian groups similar to CAHRA [now Mind Justice], with over 1,000 alleged Russian mind control victims

Besides the many victim's stories posted on the Mind Control Forum, over 70 at last count, here is a German television program shown on ZDF, "the second public channel, and quite credible" according to the translator of this TV program. The program is Geheimes Russland (TV-Tagestip, Der Dienstag im ZDF: 22-12.98-22.15. This TV program gives a good description of the techniques used in the experiments. It was entitled

"Secret Russia" Here is an excerpt of the translated article.

"In the future are we going to be remote-controlled robots? Or gods, who with the help of a computer can correct their souls? In the search of answers to these questions, Jerzy Sladkowski went on a time trip through the Russia capital, the way nobody has ever seen it. Since the years of Soviet rule people have spoken furtively in Russia of secret research and experiments, which the Army and the KGB sponsor. Behind a hand held before the mouth they speak of "Zombies" -remote-controlled humans. Rumours are making the rounds, the talk is about victims, psychosis is on the rise. Anatolij Iwanyttsch, a 47 year-old former boxer and dissident, has for the last three years acted as the "godfather' of the Moscow "Zombies." His organization has in the meantime grown to about a thousand members from all over Russia. News reports come in constantly from people who claim to have discovered symptoms of a sudden "psychic contamination." Whether and how many of them are actually victims of a remote control of the psyche no one knows. Since the research about the "production' of remote-controlled humans is one of the best-kept military secrets in today's Russia. Anatolij Iwanytsch considers himself to be a victim of psychoterror. He is constantly pressuring the state district attorney. He organizes vigils on the most frequented squares in the city. He's making an effort to get support, his past, and his outlook on the future. He is battling so that the "Zombies" will be officially [recognized] as victims [of the state's .] .office, a telephone, and a computer. He demands compensation for himself and his fellow strugglers, who, "as a consequence of psychological terror have suffered and continue to suffer." The retired (pensioned) engineer and former dissident Slepucha avoids Organizations. He shys away from meetings or vigils in the city. He defends himself alone. The walls of his dwelling are covered with aluminum foil. With the telephone and television set aside, the doors and windows are stuck with primitive shielding, which are supposed to protect against [electromagnetic] energy coming from outside. The householder, who in conversations makes the impression of being completely of sound mind, wears antennae and battery-powered short-wave generators under his hat, which are supposed to protect him from an attack on his mind."
   

An explanation: making the connection between cold war mentality and victim's allegations

There have been similar headlines over the years. A New York Times article on Rusty Weston and the shootings at the Capitol last year stated " The delusions voiced by such people are familiar to anyone who has worked at a courthouse, a newspaper or a police precinct. A surprising number of people think the CIA has placed transmitters in their molars, or that the Pentagon is beaming death rays through their televisions, or that the White House is secretly controlling their brains." ".Timothy McVeigh who blew up the federal building in Oklahoma City in April 1995 killing 168 people , believed the army had implanted a computer chip in his buttocks." "Weston's recent history -the delusional rage at the government for planting land mines on his half-acre grubstake in Montana and beaming mind-control rays through his neighbor's satellite dish-"

The June 2000 Atlantic Monthly reported that while at Harvard College, the Unabomber. Ted Kaczynski, who ranted against technology in his writings, was "subjected to brutal and abusive psychological experiment that today would never be allowed." Professor Murray ran the psychology experiment and was an OSS chief psychologist who had monitored military experiments on brainwashing and sodium amytal interrogation. While there are many mentally ill people, there may be another explanation for some of the cases reported in the newspapers- mind control government experimentation.

The headline read, "Medhdad Dashti and the Siege of Henry's Bar" and is another example of alleged mind control, which took place in Berkeley. Sadly Dashdi killed a man and was killed himself. The Express, 12-7-90, page 21 stated that Dashti claimed that "t he United States government owed him sixteen trillion dollars because it had used his mind for telepathic experiments" Dashti said, "As you probably know, some kind of supernatural phenomenon is going on around here by means of which people hear voices in their head. These voices come as different messages relating to our social life. God and different power levels that exist among us. I first noticed in radio and television they were talking to me. I became real mad after a while. They are not only are reading thoughts, but injecting thoughts into the mind." Below Dashdi's quote is the quote of Marshall McLuhan, "Today, after more than a century of electric technology, we have extended our central nervous system itself in a global embrace, abolishing both space and time as far as our planet is concerned. Rapidly, we approach the final phase of the extensions of man- the technological simulation of consciousness, when the creative process of knowing will be collectively and corporately extended to the whole of human society, much as we have largely extended to the whole of human society, much as we have largely extended our senses and our nerves by the various media." Marshall McLuhan, who died in 1980, established his reputation as a communications theorist and his books made him one of the most famous and controversial scholars of the 1960s and '70s.

"California prisoner suits cost millions, clog court systems" the Sacramento Bee reported. Lawsuits filed by California prison inmates cost taxpayers more than $25 million and Attorney General Dan Lungren is backing legislation to stem the flow. According to this article, Kevin Howard, on death row " thought his thoughts were broadcast on prison loudspeakers". Several prisoners have described this symptom. The counterargument is how can this prisoner prove that sophisticated signals are being used? He has no money. He has no proof. See previous CAHRA [now Mind Justice] articles on prison experimentation.

Victims sound crazy but what is happening to them may be a product of the cold war, a bureaucracy that needs dismantling. It is logical to question the government's interest in controlling behavior, studying violence and psychological weapons of war without killing.
   

Sloppy vs. accurate news coverage: get the facts

The media is telling a one sided story of victims, whose behavior looks at first glance to be paranoid. But as in so many issues, there is more to the story. Mind control and psychological weapons are a national security issue and the true facts about victim's allegations are being suppressed in very systematic ways. There is also a bias surrounding mental illness.

For example, here are two articles that are not based on fact. The articles also jump to erroneous stereotypes or incomplete conclusions. A New York Times 8-2-98 article goes as far as describing an American archetype: the paranoid schizophrenic. This article by Joe Sharkey described the archetype as a deranged man who believes that the CIA and other secret government forces are conspiring to control his mind who goes on a rampage, and innocent people die. The article cites expert after expert to support the mental illness archetype and ends with the statement by Jackie Goldstein, associate professor of psychology at Stanford University, "But for those who are mentally ill], she said, it is logical, if not reasonable, to fix on bogeymen like the CIA: "Somebody all-powerful is out to get me? It must be the CIA Why? It's all-powerful. It's done all these bizarre things. And it's secretive."

Here is the second article in support of the stereotypical mentally ill rampage killer. The Washington Post, December 27, 1999, entitled "K-Rock adds new 'shocker." discussed Ralph Nader's Public Citizen watchdog group which claims " A surprising number of people who think they're receiving personal broadcasts are threatening and even attacking radio and TV stations, according to a new study." The Ralph Nader group claims "the attacks and threats are the inevitable result of 2.5 million mentally ill Americans walking around untreated."

Here is a comparison of the above two articles to the next two. Unlike the above, they are factual and the conclusion is based on proven facts. The New York Times, Aug. 4, 1998 reported on a five year Secret Service study of 83 people who attacked or tried to attack an American political figure or celebrity in the last 50 years. The guide and research report are now available from the National Institute of Justice (800-851-3420 or 810 Seventh Street, NW Wash. DC 20531). "The result, recently made available, challenge several stereotypes. Fewer than half of the assassins showed symptoms of mental illness." The article continues, "It would be inaccurate to dismiss these attackers and near attackers as inadequate, unaccomplished losers," the report says. "None were models of emotional well-being," the Secret Service concluded, " but relatively few suffered from serious mental illnesses that caused their attack behaviors."

The New York Times April 9, 2000 ran a series on rampage killers after conducting a study which studied 102 rampage killers over the last fifty years Some of the highlights of their findings revealed the following. "Most are white men. Many are military veterans." It continued, "Society has turned to law enforcement to resolve the rampage killings that have become almost a staple of the nightly news. There has been an increasing call for greater security in schools and in the workplace. But a closer look shows that these cases may have more to do with society's lack of knowledge of mental health issues, rather than a lack of security. In case after case, family members, teachers and mental health professionals missed or dismissed signs of deterioration." J Reid Meloy, a forensic psychologist at the University of California at San Diego stated, "There's a planning and purpose, and an emotional detachment that's very long-term."
   

The medical and psychiatric community's response to victim's claims

The medical and psychiatric community are not investigating vicitm's claims. Park Dietz, a forensic psychiatrist, is a consultant on high profile court cases such as John Hinkley's court case for shooting President Reagan. He wrote an article for the Los Angeles Times 1-25-98 last year and stated, "Some patients believe that their thoughts are being broadcast to others, that transmitters have been placed in their bodies or that they are under electronic surveillance wherever they go." To challenge this classic belief is a formidable task. There are mentally ill people but they can be separated from cases of nonconsensual experimentation using scientific methods such as the following.

One possibility is to monitor victims for signals, thereby eliminating mental illness as a cause of schizophrenic voices or what victims refer to as 'microwave hearing'. This has been beyond the economic means of victims so far. An article by Malcolm Ritter, AP, May 20 1999 entitled " pulsing magnetic field might ease imaginary voices in schizophrenia" may be a research lead to pursue in the future. The article stated "Schizophrenia patients whose medication couldn't stop the imaginary voices in their heads gained some relief after researchers repeatedly sent a magnetic field into a small area of their brains." It continues, "Hoffman, deputy medical director of the Yale Psychiatric Institute is scheduled to present the work Thursday at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association. " "The treatment is called transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS."
   

Mental illness: the government's cover story for illegal experimentation

To victims, the arche-type is the 'Cold War Mentality' and the'Military War Machine'. For the US government to use mental illness as a cover for a 40 year behavior control experimentation program is as logical as the rationalizations of scientists who conducted radiation experiments and the UFO cover story for spy planes cited below. Also, see previous CAHRA [now Mind Justice] human rights article.

There is a well-documented history of government behavior control experiments. The obituary of Sidney Gottlieb in Time, March 22, 1999 reported that he was an "eccentric chemist who ran some of the CIA's most shadowy operations, including the agency's infamous mind-control experiments of the 1950s and '60s;. Gottlieb once said the paucity of U.S. knowledge on the effects of drugs " posed a threat of the magnitude of national survival" to explain the existence of MKUltra, a program that mandated dosing unsuspecting citizens with LSD."

Background

Camouflage, decoy and deception techniques can play a decisive role on the modern battlefield. The rapid advance of surveillance, targeting and weapons homing sensor  technology now makes every element which is detected almost assured of being destroyed. Camouflage, decoy and deception equipment and techniques are a low cost way to increase survivability and shift this balance by reducing the signature of targets (camouflage), increasing the signature level of the background (clutter), creating false targets (decoy), and distorting the perceived target value (disguise).

->M [crossout] decoy and deception concept presently being considered is to remotely create the perception of noise in the heads of personnel by exposing them to low power, pulsed microwaves. When people are illuminated with properly modulated low power microwaves the sensation is reported as a buzzing, clicking, or hissing which seems to originate (regardless of the person's position in the field) within or just behind the head [crossout]. The phenomena occurs at average power densities as low as microwatts per square centimeter with carrier frequencies from 0.4 to 3.0 GHz. By proper choice of pulse characteristics, intelligible speech may be created. Before this technique may be extended and used for military applications, an understanding of the basic principles must be developed. Such an understanding is not only required to optimize the use of the concept for camouflage, decoy and deception operations but is required to properly assess safety factors of such microwave exposure.
