National security law

National security law: the underlying problem,
why victims are not getting help

National security law prevents access to government information and is one major reason why victims are not getting help. Several related examples illustrate this problem. On a 1985 CNN news program the Pentagon stated that " radiofrequency weapons are "too sensitive to discuss". Quote from CNN with reporter Chuck DeCaro "The Soviet Union vs. The U.S: Is There an RF Gap?" 11-16-85

 Recently the director of the NSA would neither confirm nor deny the Echelon Project at a 2000 US congressional hearing. And further, Rep. Porter Goss stated, "the NSA operates in a very secret environment without any oversight or legal strictures in place to guide and control (its) conduct." Quote from Sacramento Bee,4-13-200 "U.S. citizens not targets, top spies say NSA, CIA deny abuse claims" p. A1

And there is the U.S. government's huge disinformation program to hide special access classified projects from the public. For example, The Sacramento Bee, August 3, 1997 page A13 headline reads "CIA, Military lied about UFOs to hide spy planes." by William J. Broad New York Times. "In the darkest days of the Cold War, the military lied to the American public about the true nature of many unidentified flying objects in an effort to hide is growing fleets of spy planes, a CIA study says." There have been several allegations that UFO abductions are a cover for mind control experiments and this needs further investigation.

The UFO cover story continues today. For example, the headline in the Sacramento Bee 1-31-98 read "No laughing matter 'UFO' base ruling gives government too much secrecy". Known as 'Area 51', the Air Force has refused to acknowledge its existence even though there is plenty of evidence. Walter Kasza, reportedly worked on the base for seven years and claimed he was exposed to poisonous smoke as hazardous waste was burned on the base. He has died and Kasza's widow and four others sued the federal government. President Clinton issued an order exempting the base from all environmental laws. And the appellate court ruled that everything involving the base is a state secret .the government may use the state secrets privilege to withhold a broad range of information, Judge Pamela Ann Rymer wrote on behalf of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals. "Accordingly, if seemingly innocuous information is part of a classified mosaic, the state secrets privilege may be invoked to bar its disclosure." The article then editorialized that this ruling "leaves the door wide open for the government to obfuscate a range of wrongdoing by claiming that the information surrounding these events cannot be untangled from legitimate state secrets."

 National Security is more sophisticated and entrenched today than in the past. In this article, the government policy on controlling the media for national security purposes is clear. The The 4-27, 5-3-92, p. 34 Washington Post article by George Lardner reported on a 1992 CIA report on "Greater CIA Openness". Director Joseph DeTrani stated " PAO [CIA's Public Affairs Office]now has relationships with reporters from every major wire service, newspaper, news weekly and television network in the nation, " the report said. "This has helped us turn some 'intelligence failure' stories into 'intelligence success stories, and it has contributed to the accuracy of countless others. "In many instances," the report continued, "we have persuaded reporters to postpone, change, hold or even scrap stories that could have adversely affected national security interests or jeopardized sources and methods,"

In The Bulletin of Atomic Scientist article entitled, "The Soft-Kill Fallacy," Sept/Oct 94 p. 43 Steve Aftergood stated, "The government secrecy system as a whole is among the most poisonous legacies of the Cold War. the Cold war secrecy system also mandates ACTIVE DECEPTION."

The article continues, "A security manual for special access programs authorizes contractors to employ "cover stories" to disguise their activities. The only conditions is that "cover stories must be believable." Even the government is starting to recognize that official cover and deception programs are getting out of hand and need to be curtailed. A Joint Security Commission established by the secretary of defense and the director of central intelligence reported in March that "the use of cover to conceal the existence of a government facility or the fact of government research and development interest in a particular technology is broader than necessary and significantly increases costs."

Obviously, the media will never publish a major story on this issue without the government's permission.

This is an example of how the military can control information that reaches the public. In the San Francisco Chronicle 10-31-98,pA7 article which stated, "Inside a brand-new, $30 million brick building at Fort Meade Anne Arundel County, Md, hundred of soldiers, airmen and sailors are hard at work preparing. The officers and troops are students at the Defense Information School, where the Pentagon is now sending every one of the 3,500 military journalists it trains each year to join one of the biggest media machines in existence." One lesson cited was "to respond to every question without necessarily answering it". It is interesting that the article points out the many students who 'find it hard to accept that the military should be open with information that might embarrass the government."

Here is illustration of an official policy to lie in the name of national security and for money, through the 1990s. In the book, Policy Paradox, The Art of Political Decision Making by Deborah Stone, Norton Books, p319, the author discussed examples of lying by top public officials for national security and financial reasons. The book referred to a New York Times article 8-18-93 p. A1 entitled "Lies and rigged 'Star Wars' test fooled the Kremlin and Congress". A top official lied so that the Kremlin would think that the Star Wars weapons were more powerful that they were. Another New York Times article P. A1 on 7-23-94 was entitled "Inquiry finds Star Wars tried plan to exaggerate test results" A DOD official lied to congress and inflated tests of Star Wars technology in order to receive funding. The following GAO report has the full story, GAO/-T-PEMID-93-5.

This is an example of serious violations of the law by the CIA with no punishment and consequent motivation for the CIA to discontinue this practice. " CIA destroyed records of 1953 Iran Mission, Agency had vowed to detail role in coup" This is the Sacramento Bee 5-28-97 headline. Both Robert Gates and James Woolsey, CIA directors publicly pledged that Iran records would be released as part of the CIA's openness initiatives. But the records had been destroyed in the 1960s. A historian who was a member of the CIA staff in 1992 and 1993 said that the records were obliterated by "a culture of destruction" at the agency. This is a breach of faith by the government. The CIA is uninformed of their own business and no one from the CIA, who most assuredly knew of the destroyed records, came forward to correct the CIA directors. Where is the enforcement of the laws for government lies, illegalities and cover up?

Because there are extensive official documents stating that electromagnetic technology is classified, (see this book and previous CAHRA [now Mind Justice] articles for citations) and in light of the official policy of lying and the past history of classified radiation experiments, current victims and the public need to be aware of the extensive efforts in effect today to cover up the currently classified weapon testing programs. There would have to be a current cover story for electromagnetic weapon testing and nonconsensual experimentation. The government can not be trusted. One final example, the U.S. military withheld information about possible links between Agent Orange and birth defects, and downplayed the defoliant's link to cancer. This was reported in the Sacramento Bee Nov. 1, 1998 p. A4. There are many more examples.
   

Tightly Controlled Information: the public can't even find out if a scientist is conducting classified research

The same handful of scientists have discussed this issue publicly to a limited extent, over the last forty years. This includes Dr. Jose Delgado, Yale University, Dr. Karl Pribram, Stanford U., Dr. Robert Becker, two time Nobel nominee, Dr. Eldon Byrd, quoted in US News 7-7-97, Dr. Rauscher and Dr. Bise, predicting electromagnetic weapons to put a whole town out of commission in two weeks in 1985 on CNN, Dr. Ross Adey, world class electromagnetic radiation expert and Dr. Michael Persinger, now in Canada, and his theories of emr (electromagnetic radiation) creating God and UFO emotional experiences. The government has been known to cut off funding or other similar difficult to prove blacklisting techniques. These social pressure techniques are unofficial but people talk about them off the record. The word spreads quickly on what can and cannot be leaked. Numerous examples have been given in this paper. A current example is the scientist who sponsored the book honoring Dr. Schwan's work. He was also listed as an attendee at a nonthermal electromagnetic radiation conference. The nonthermal effects are the biologically active reactions to electromagnetic radiation, while the thermal effects are the heating effect only, as in a microwave oven. Dr. Schwan does not believe there are proven nonthermal effects. He set the U.S. military standards for EMR exposure limits in the 1950s. This would seem to be an excellent example of how the electromagnetic research is controlled off the record.

None of the scientists named above will talk directly, but will say they believe mind control is a weapon. They are to be admired because they talk more than most. The top scientists and government advisors such as Dr. Freeman Dyson describe technology to interface with the brain in their scientific books but when asked about electromagnetic weapons which target the brain, Dr. Dyson gave what seemed like a superficial national security answer, "that's not science". This is in contradiction to his previous papers on the topic. Also, top government officials such as ex-CIA director Woolsey stated that he was not aware of Defense News and other reputable sources on Russian mind control technology. That is an illogical reply, to say the least. (for further info on Woolsey quote, see executive branch section, Dyson, see Chapter 12, What can be done.media).
   

No whistleblowers in national security issues

It is very unlikely that an insider will go public with the technology. For example, twenty five Star Wars Marconi defense workers mysteriously died by suicide and strange accidents in the early 1980s in England and was reported in a book by Tony Collins. The book is "Open Verdict An account of 25 mysterious deaths in the defense industry", Sphere Books Ltd., a division of MacDonald & Co. Publishers London, 1990. Collins wrote, " This book is about a new type of war, electronic war. .It is fought by .research students in universities and electronics engineers working for defense contractors. .It is a war that must be waged constantly during peacetime to maintain the upper hand. It is a war that must be waged in secrecy." Tony Collins is executive editor of Computer Weekly. He worked for the BBC and national newspapers, such as Sunday Mirror.

The editor of the Collins book, Stephen Arkell described the discrepancies found during his investigation and problems such as the following.

"The companies and establishments where they worked are reluctant to give out details of any projects, even those already in the public domain. In addition, there are many other project, so called 'black' projects, which these organizations cannot even officially admit to. The secrecy surrounding the peacetime preparations for a future electronic war ensures that any attempt to prove or disprove a definite work link can be not more than a calculated stab in the dark. .In May 1989, for example, eleven Russians and four Czechs were expelled from the UK for allegedly trying to obtain highly sensitive information about powerful microchips, radar, laser technology and advanced materials such as titanium and carbon fibres. These agents were reported to have approached the executive of defense contractors in a series of 'cash for secrets' deals. .Another theory .concerns the investigation into alleged fraud at Marconi. .This investigation [by the Ministry of Defense Police] has since resulted in charges being brought, .However there is not one scrap of evidence to suggest that any of the scientists named in the book were involved in fraud. .the deaths and disappearances of 28 defense workers is one of the most bizarre and enigmatic stories of the past decade."

A June 1989 Hustler magazine article entitled "Who's Killing the Star Wars Scientists", suggests that

" the Russians are using a death ray to drive the scientists to suicide. The British press blames stress. This wave of suspicious fatalities in the ultrasecret world of sophisticated weaponry has not gone unnoticed by the US government. Late last fall, the American embassy in London publicly requested a full investigation by the British Ministry of Defense. (MoD). .The Pentagon refuses comment on the deaths. But according to Reagan administration sources, "We cannot ignore it anymore."

The cover story and national security lies do not fit the facts and reality. Scientists have to lie for national security. Government officials are doing their job by lying to the public or denying the existence of these powerful weapons. Victims are trying to save their lives and must realize how the system and human nature work so that they can move forward with planned strategies.
   

The underlying problem: A classified electromagnetic arms race

The U.S. won the arms race but weapons are still being developed. Please see international section below for details. There is significant evidence of an arms race to develop electromagnetic weapons. Rupert Pengelley, of the International Defense Review has compared the atomic bomb to nonlethal electromagnetic weapons and stated: "who will be first to use nonlethal, [electromagnetic] weapons so that they too will never be used." There are United Nations documents discussing electromagnetic weapons in 1975 when the Soviet Union had proposed a ban on the development and manufacture of new types of weapons of mass destruction and new systems of such weapons. A US-Soviet debate continued until1996, when the resolution finally passed. In 1979, the Soviet Union clarified its position and provided a specific list of some types of potential weapons of mass destruction. " Infrasonic 'acoustic radiation' weapons. They would utilize harmful effects of infrasonic oscillations on biocurrents of the brain and nervous system;" The UN document continues by describing "Electromagnetic weapons operating at certain radio-frequency radiations, which could have injurious effects on human organs". (See CAHRA [now Mind Justice] website, international article for full quote.)

The newspaper article by Barton Reppert, AP Extra, May 22, 1988 entitled "The Zapping of an Embassy: 35 Years Later, The Mystery Lingers " is the ongoing story of the Russian microwave bombardment of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow since October 1953. Relevant excerpts from the article illustrate the government's motive to develop mind control technology. "The U.S. government still has not determined conclusively-or is unwilling to reveal- the purpose behind the beams. .Richard S. Cesaro served as deputy director for advanced sensors at the Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency and also helped run the classified Pandora Project, in which monkeys were exposed to a 'synthetic Moscow signal' in a laboratory at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Arguing that the Soviet block's investment of funds, personnel and laboratory facilities in research on non-ionizing radiation bioeffects has far outstripped the West's, he [Cesaro] said, "I look at it as still a major, serious, unsettled threat to the security of the United States." [Cesaro continued] " If you really make the breakthrough, you've got something better than any bomb ever built, because when you finally come down the line you're talking about controlling people's minds,"

The international human rights community is aware of the dangers of electromagnetic weaponry Dr. Barbara Hatch Rosenberg wrote in Sept/Oct 1994 Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, page 45, " Many of the non-lethal weapons under consideration utilize infrasound or electromagnetic energy (including lasers, microwave, or radio-frequency radiation, or visible light pulsed at brain-wave frequency) for their effects. These weapons are said to cause temporary or permanent blinding, interference with mental processes, modification of behavior and emotional response, seizures, severe pain, dizziness, nausea and diarrhea, or disruption of internal organ functions in various other ways. The article concluded that ".international discussions are now underway that may lead to the development of specific new protocols covering electromagnetic weapons; a report is expected sometime next year."

Louise Doswald-Beck and Gerald C. Cauderay wrote the following in the International Review of the Red Cross 279, Nov.1, 1990, " In spite of the rarity of publications on this subject, and the fact that it is usually strictly classified information, research undertaken in this field seems to have demonstrated that very small amounts of electromagnetic radiation could appreciably alter the functions of living cells. Research work has also revealed that pathological effects close to those induced by highly toxic substances could be produced by electromagnetic radiation even at very low power, especially those using a pulse shape containing a large number of different frequencies." The article further stated, " Some research seem to have confirmed that low-level electromagnetic fields, modulated to be similar to normal brainwaves, could seriously affect brain function." The article continues, " Research work in this field has been carried out in almost all industrialized countries, and especially by the great powers, with a view to using these phenomena for anti-materiel or anti-personnel purposes."

Dr. Robin Coupland of the International Committee of the Red Cross has warned about weapons which can create psychosis and epilepsy in a 1997 British Medical Journal article.
   

1989 Break up of the Soviet Union: major international incident led to exposure of 'mind control weapons

 And finally, here is a list of several articles, mainly from the last ten years, which coincide with the break up of the Soviet Union in 1989. Most are from the former Soviet Union and concern 'mind control technology'. Victims have been trying to expose this technology since the 1960s. Like the dropping of the bomb at Hiroshima, only with major incidents or the passage of time are classified weapon technology publicly revealed. The break up of the Soviet Union is one such incident.
