Chapter 12

Strategies for victims: fighting back

Research and organization is making a difference. Here are possible strategies for the future effort to stop this human rights abuse. This issue has been closely studied and victims are learning much from the process, so that a solution to this problem will occur in this generation. There is a tremendous amount of information to be gathered on this topic. And the information has solidified the claims. Some of the newly found information is below and the evidence continues to support victim's claims. Victims who allege government harassment and targeting with electromagnetic weapon technology have been ignored and discredited. Government documents are classified and any sophisticated electromagnetic warfare signals used on alleged victims are difficult to detect. It is a Samson and Goliath analogy. But victims are networking, organizing and fighting back.

Professionals are scientifically studying the cluster of symptoms common to most victims.

CAHRA [now Mind Justice] is sponsoring the Dr. Rosalie Bertell Project and has started a preliminary study of the medical claims of victims. Dr. Bertell has a doctorate degree in Biometry, the design of epidemiological research and the mathematical analysis of bio-medical problems. Currently, a medical doctor working under Dr. Bertell is reviewing victim allegations in order to design a larger study. Dr. Bertell is highly qualified and is active in the international peace community to this day. For example, she has worked on the International Medical Commission -Chernobyl which investigated violations of human rights of Chernobyl victims. The Preliminary Study on electromagnetic technology human rights abuses will be released on November 1, 2000. Please see CAHRA [now Mind Justice] website for details.

  1. There is no solution but many approaches towards the goal.
       
    Here is an example of hard work and progress short of victory. The outcome was still worth it. California Representative Ronald V. Dellums wrote an excellent 1983 book "Defense Sense, Search for a Rational Military Policy". He held hearings on defense policy and an alternative military budget. It failed but opponents treated it as a serious challenge to the status quo. Participants included Hon. J William Fulbright, Dr. Michael T. Klare, Dr. H. Jack Geiger, Dr. Herbert Scoville, (See Scoville, CIA work above) and more.
       
  2. Information the public needs to know
       
    A grassroots effort is one way to overcome governmental obstacles. The public has much to benefit from learning the facts. Their children's future may be affected, and now that there is proof of victimization of people of all walks of life, including children. There is more reason to be concerned about the unaccountability of classified research. The government is not using this technology to improve health and save lives. They are developing weapons and using huge amounts of tax dollars in the process. Victims report a set of symptoms over and over and their descriptions points to a technology in which the mechanisms of hearing and sight have been discovered and perfected. This technology could be used to overcome deafness and blindness.
       
    Victims report sophisticated manipulation of their memory functions and agree that the mechanism of memory processes have been deciphered. This could be used to help Alzheimer's patients. Every nerve of the body can be controlled remotely and this could be used to block pain in chronic back pain cases or terminally ill cases. An article entitled "Attacking tumors with robotics and missile technology" in Biophotonics International, Sept/oct95,p22, demonstrates that this use of military technology is being used in civilian situations. The article described ".a new procedure that blends high-precision robotics with 3-D imaging and missile-tracking technology. Called computer-mediated stereotaxic radiosurgery (CMSR), the techniques uses agile robotic arms and powerful x-ray machines to safely destroy any cancerous tumors. .the system delivers short pulses of high-energy radiation.so accurately that healthy tissue surround the tumor remains undamaged." The conversion of military technology for civilian use needs to be expanded.
       
  3. Research and collecting information is important
       
    Writing Freedom of information act requests and compiling important information is worth the effort. There are many leads to follow. For example, Financial Times, Nov, 30 1999 reported
    " Pretoria- The SA Defense Force (SADF) was involved in highly secretive research in the early 1990s into changing people's brain functions, the Pretoria High Court heard yesterday. Jaap Cilliers, counsel for the apartheid government's chemical warfare expert Dr. Wouter Basson, put it to former SADF surgeon-general Niel Knobel that the research "terrified the world" because it was feared it could be abused to permanently alter people's brains to make them passive or aggressive. Knobel said he had been aware that highly specialized equipment was imported for AIDS research and knew this equipment was also used in research on substances to incapacitate crowds, including the drugs mandrax and ecstasy. However, he found it difficult to comment on claims by Basson that the same equipment was also used in studies on altering brain function."

    There are important quesions to be answered. For example, under what government agency are the experiments taking place?
       
    Victims have attempted to determine under what government agency the experiments are taking place. Given their history, the CIA and DOD, or department of defense are likely agencies. High security, very sophisticated equipment are the limitations to locations and it is likely manned locations on military bases. A few inquiries have shown where the experiments are not conducted. Dr. Joseph G. Perpich, grant director of the Howard Hughes Medical Foundation, replied in an email dated 10-22-98 that " I do not know of any classified experiments in the neurosciences, and I do not know where one can direct inquiries regarding the same."
       
    On March 27, 1997, President Clinton issued the memorandum on "Strengthened Protections for Human Subjects of Classified Research. On Feb 4, 1999, in response to a question "Does the Department of Defense conduct or contract out classified research? Dr. Edward M. Land, Office of the Deputy of Defense (Science BioSystems Division, he is the director of human subjects committee for the Department of Defense) stated,

    No, the March 1997 memorandum which stated that all agencies conducting classified research involving human subjects had to meet certain specifications and requirements as stated in the memo or discontinue all classified research one year from the published date of 27 March. The DOD complied and stopped all research that was classified and involved human subjects. The new "interim final rule" for classified research involving human subjects was presented to the federal agencies last Friday( 1-30-99). This rule is out for public comment and will be on the OPRR website in the future or the NBAC website. .If the DOD funds or sponsors 'extramural' research, the private contractor must meet all regulations that the DOD facilities must meet. They must abide by the Federal Common rule and any other regulations that govern their project." President Clinton's memorandum was issued to several departments for compliance including Director of Central Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense.

    Since the experimentation continues to this day, according to victims, it would be likely that the government agencies have classified special access programs and are breaking the law again, as occurred in radiation experiments. This quote was from Bulletin of Atomic Scientist, Sept/Oct 1994 p 43.

    "Special access programs employ security measures that are draconian compared to ordinary classified programs." stated Cong. Patrica Schroeder, .who chairs the House Armed Services Research and Technology subcommittee. [She] mentioned at a recent hearing that she'd asked the Defense Department for a list of special access programs and their costs. Her request was turned down. Anita Jones, the Pentagon director of defense research and engineering, claimed that providing the list to Schroeder-whose subcommittee must authorize spending for such programs -would be too dangerous to national security."

    And a final example from the National Institute of Mental Health, NIMH, Dr. Henry Khachaturian, Public Information Office on 1-27-99. " To answer your question, the NIMH does not support research on "behavioral weapons." The NIMH does not contract out, sponsor, conduct, or support classified research."
       

  4. One person made a big difference, a milestone for the cause
       
    The international approach to this problem has been helpful. Nick Begich has consulted extensively on the HAARP,( High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program of the U.S. government) with the European Union. He has clearly demonstrated how one person who cares, can make a tremendous difference. Defense News Feb 16-22, 1998 p3 discussed his work. It stated ".Nick Begich, a native of Alaska who co-authored the 1996 book, "Angels Don't Play This HAARP," told the European Parliament at the Feb. 5 hearing that while the initial experiment does not have sufficient power to be used as an electronic jammer or satellite killer, the U.S. military no doubt intends to follow up on work to bolster its capabilities. .Begich has studied the project as an independent ecologist since its inception in 1990, and referred the parliamentarians to an unpublished 613-page compilation of a 1991 HAARP workshop held at Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass, known as Technical Memorandum 195." ."T he construction of such a device, Begich said, "may well be a legitimate military goal and requires confidentiality. But how it is to be used should be open to debate. That transparency is not there. HAARP must be evaluated by independent scientists." Please see the new EU resolution listed under CAHRA [now Mind Justice] table of contents and it's application to mind control victims. Informing professionals and influential people who can help is worth the effort, especially since our case is getting stronger.
       
  5. Political, financial and international pressure, an important tool to be developed
       
    Another tool that many human rights groups use is political, financial and international pressure. The Sacramento Bee Feb. 17, 1999 article page A8 is a classic example that electromagnetic victims can follow. Entitled "German Businesses back WWII Compensation Fund", it stated that "The German government announced Tuesday that 12 of the country's largest banks and businesses will contribute money to a new fund designed to compensate hundreds of thousands of workers, mainly from Eastern Europe, who were enslaved by the Nazis during World War II. The formal pledge to establish the fund, which is expected to be worth at least $2 billion and possibly much more, follows months of intensive talks to head off a flurry of lawsuits that threatened to conflict serious damage to Germany's largest corporations and disrupt their expansion plans in the United States."
       
    U.S. News & World Report, July 10, 2000 page 24, an article entitled "Pieces of a tragic wartime puzzle stated, " With each cache of secret documents unsealed, evidence has mounted to support the view that the Allies knew about the atrocities and as early as 1942 had solid intelligence on the death camps. More that 400,000 newly declassified documents released at the National Archives last week reveal fresh pieces of this historical puzzle that make the case even stronger. .While the Jews's destiny may not have been a top priority, U.S. intelligence clearly tracked the Holocaust. The victims of terror speak eloquently in the files of the OSS-the wartime forerunner of the CIA. The documents trace the unimaginable cruelty and rigid indoctrination that defined daily life at the camps. .What is contained in the remaining 100,000 OSS documents still to be declassified by the CIA?" The lessons are clear and understanding of human nature as history repeats, is important to victims who can attest to the severity of their torture.
       
    An Economist, Dec. 5, 1998 article entitled "The World is Watching" gives an excellent detailed account of the human rights community today. One section is called " The Power of Shame." Victims must use this important fact. Human Rights Watch, the largest U.S.-based human rights group has reported on the U.S. human rights abuse in a 506 page report on worldwide review of rights abuse(Sacramento Bee, 12-4-98). Amnesty International announced a campaign on the United States, to confront human rights abuse in the U.S. The US government has much to fear from exposure of their cold war secret, nonconsensual electromagnetic weapons testing programs and they will be unable to accuse other countries of abuses that they themselves are committing. Public reaction determines how much the U.S. will respond. This is an avenue for victims to investigate further.
       
    It is important to give serious thought to the presentation of victim's plight and plea for help. Organizations such as the Federation of American Scientists, who include 55 American Nobel Prize Laureates and describe the private, non profit organization's work as analysis and advocacy on scientific and technical issues for global security, so far, will not investigate this issue. An email in Aug. 1998 from Dr. John Pike stated that the number of issues that they have the resources to work on is small relative to the possibilities. While he felt that the victim's claims were based on adequately established technology, there are hundreds of issues and FAS chose not to address this issue. Human Rights Watch, the International Committee of the Red Cross and Amnesty International, also have chosen not to deal with this issue, even with repeated requests.
       
    Victims must find other approaches until there is one that works. Harlan Girard of the International Committee Against Offensive Microwave Weapons has tirelessly sat through meetings on the establishment of an International Criminal Court. Again, issues are complicated but Mr. Girard has made inroads and valuable contacts by presenting the issue in a factual way. Mr. Girard has networked with M. Cherif Bassiouni, the main force behind the establishment of the court. Bassiouni is a professor of law and author of the excellent book "Crimes Against Humanity in International Criminal Law. Basssiouni has extensively studied and written about the Nuremberg Code and its history in this book. In addition, he as written " An Appraisal of Human Experimentation in International Law and Practice: The Need for International Regulation of Human Experimentation" in the Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology, Vol.72, no.4, 1981 page 1597. These are essential reading if one is to understand international politics and experimentation law. The hope is that some day, illegal experimentation cases would be heard in the proposed court.
       
    Victims need to be innovative in coming up with solutions. Here is an example of innovation by the government Of course this seems to be more of a token declassification of technology to satisfy public relations for the intelligence community. October 1999 vol. 286 of Science magazine, page 34 described the Medea Committee, a panel of scientists modeled after the Jasons, a group of scientists who for decades have advised the government on issues relating to nuclear weapons technology.
       
    "This group meets regularly with the federal intelligence community to discuss how such disclosures can make important contributions to knowledge, without jeopardizing the nation's security."
       
  6. What can be done about the media problem?
       
    Some things can be done such as contacting your local newspaper about the CIA connection and if they could reveal this information if they were aware of a CIA relationship to their newspaper. Contacting your congressman for a GAO, government accounting office investigation. Congressman have the power to request this type of investigation. There are GAO investigations of classified material and a history of investigations similar to the electromagnetic weapon testing issue. GAO/T-NSIAD-94-266 is entitled "Human Experimentation An Overview on Cold War Era Programs" for example. Please note that the GAO stated that generally they do not review singular allegations in specific matters but it is possible that the GAO FraudNET will forward the suspected wrongdoing to an executive agency for appropriate action. (For more information, email to fraud.osi@gao.gov).
       
    Because there are official reports from various professionals calling for an investigation of involuntary electromagnetic radiation experimentation (see CAHRA [now Mind Justice] website), a congressional hearing or staff report similar to the congressional hearing entitled "Is Military Research Hazardous to Veterans Health? Lessons Spanning Half a Century" is more likely to be approved at this time than in the past. It is plausible for the CIA Inspector General's office or the Department of Defense to investigate.
       
    Finding the public official or professional who would be interested in taking up our issue is another strategy to work on. Prior to the 1990s, for the most part, victims worked alone but now they are organizing and the group effort has and will make a difference. The public would sign petitions, write letters of protest and support this issue, if they had the facts. The government will investigate if a case can be made and political and public pressure is organized. In reality, our system of government works in a certain way and victims need to plan accordingly.
       
    A realistic perspective will make efforts and setbacks more understandable. U.S. News and World Report, Jan 24, 2000, page 5 illustrated the politics involved in government agencies. It helps to understand how the system works. This article discussed the reorganization of the Office for Protection from Research Risks and plans to move it out from under the National Institutes of Health. The article stated, "But now comes word of pressure to oust the office director, Gary Ellis, in favor of a candidate more protective of researchers. "They're trying to fire him for doing the right thing," says a Hill source."
       
    Here is another example. A letter dated March 31, 1998, from Francis X. Brickfield MD, Chair Human Subjects Research Panel, CIA, stated, "I have received today your letter of 22 March 1998 requesting our procedure for opening a formal investigation into your allegation that the Central Intelligence Agency is conducting illegal classified experimentation on human subjects. I have forwarded your request to our Office of the Inspector General for action. That Office is responsible for investigating allegations of illegal conduct within this Agency, and will respond to your complaint." But there was never a reply, even after a call to the Inspector General. Victims must decide for themselves on how to spend their limited resources against a government with virtually unlimited resources.
       
    Victims have written numerous letters to professionals and scientists but this has been a limited avenue of help. Freeman Dyson of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton is a physicist and was quoted in the Bill Joy article in April 2000Wired Magazine on the dangers of technology. Dr. Dyson coined the word "radiotelepathy", i.e. "something like a cordless phone inside your head" (see CAHRA [now Mind Justice] article, Code of the Brain). Dyson wrote this comment. "After the organization of the central nervous system has been explored and understood, the way will be open to develop and use the technology of electromagnetic brain signals." This quote was from the International Herald Tribune April 25, 1997 page 4, entitled Imagined Worlds, by Rudy Rucker.
       
    In reply to a question concerning classified brain research on March 18, 2000, Freeman Dyson wrote, " Nothing important in science stays secret for long. .The Russians had hundred of secret projects Luckily we are not so good as the Russians at hiding stupid stuff. So stop worrying about imaginary scares. One of my friends .cures his patients with magnets. .But this had nothing to do with science."
       
    Dyson was a member of the elite Jason Division, the 40-odd leading scientists-including some Nobel laureates, -who in 1959 and 1960 banded together to work on national security matters in the summertime under the aegis of the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA). Jason originated as an enabling mechanism to keep younger physicists in touch with defense problems, but it rapidly evolved into a club. "We were all bright young men together; we were all precocious 30 years ago," recalled Dyson. (Excerpt from Science, February 1973 page 460.)
       
    And further, the April 2000 Wired magazine article on the peril of technology, (see future prediction section above) included a quote by Dyson;
    Nearly 20 years ago, in the documentary "The Day after Trinity", Freeman Dyson summarized the scientific attitudes that brought us to the nuclear precipice: "I have felt it myself. The glitter of nuclear weapons. It is irresistible if you come to them as a scientist. To feel it's there in your hands, to release this energy that fuels the stars, to let it do your bidding. To perform these miracles, to lift a million tons of rock into the sky. It is something that gives people an illusion of illimitable power, and it is, in some ways, responsible for all our troubles-this, what you might call technical arrogance, that overcomes people when they see what they can do with their minds."

    Bill Joy, chief scientist at Sun Microsystems also wrote about Han Morovec, a robotic scientist and founder of the world's largest robotics research program, at Carnagie Mellon University mentioned in previous CAHRA [now Mind Justice] website papers. Morovec predicts man machine brain communication for the near future. And Sun analyzed Kaczynski's rant against technology, while Kaczynski is alleged to be a product of a CIA related psychology experiment at Harvard,( see 2000 Atlantlic Monthly exerpt, this book, victim section). Sun discussed his meetings with Ray Kurzweil, the distinguished scientist who predicted mind machine computers by 2020,(see future prediction section above).
       
    Joy discussed Arthur C. Clarke, who was privy to discussions about the Strategic Defense Initiative proposed by the Reagan administration. Clarke is affiliated with BT,(see future prediction section above), the British Telecommunications company working on the 'soul chip'. It is evident that these top scientists would know about the development of classified weapons such as a powerful mind control weapon. It insults the intelligence to think that top government, corporation consultants would not be aware of this powerful weapon. Most scientists discuss the amazing new technologies that interface with the mind but use the excuse of national security and do not address the underlying issues involved with weapons such as nonconsensual experimentation. The scientists who talk are killed, or lose government funding etc. (see this book, whistleblower section)
       
    Here is what Joy wrote about information technology.

    I have long realized that the big advances in information technology come not from the work of computer scientists, computer architects, or electrical engineers, but from that of physical scientists. The physicists Stephen Wolfram and Bros. Hasslacher introduced me, in the early 1980s, to chaos theory and nonlinear systems. In the 1990s, I learned about complex systems from conversations with Danny Hillis, the biologist Stuart Kauffman, the Nobel-laureate physicist Murray Gell-Mann, and others.

    And here is what Science, Vol. 179 page 460 stated about Gell-Mann's involvement with the Jason Division mentioned above.

    Apparently this is a reference to a small study group including Gell-Mann which looked into Vietnam-related problems. Jason members say that there was no Vietnam work when they met at Woods Hole in 1965. But in 1966, some Jasons and other intellectuals, principally in Cambridge, decided to do something on Vietnam. Roger Fisher of the Harvard Law School .wrote John McNaughton of the Office of the Secretary of Defense in January suggesting an electronic barrier. Meanwhile a group of Harvard and MIT scientists suggested to McNamara that they establish a general technical working group on Vietnam and received his blessing.

    It becomes obvious that top scientists and consultants are not going to reveal neurological electromagnetic weapons to the public but it is clear that they would be aware of its existence.
       

  7. Working on a legal solution
       
    Understanding the legal system will help in formulating a plan for stopping nonconsensual experimentation. Understanding national security law, for example is knowledge that will increase chances of success. Vermont law professor Stephen Dycus has commented on the area 51 toxic tort case and the need for a special court to balance the needs of individual rights and national security concerns. He wrote a book on national security law, articles on international human rights and also the excellent book "National Defense and the Environment". He is one of the few to take the stand for balancing national security with individual rights, unlike the hundreds of government lawyers.
       
    He is quoted in the Wall Street Journal Europe, February 12, 1996 entitled "Desert Storm: U.S. Air Base Broke Hazardous -Waste Act. Workers' Suit Alleges Washington Hits Claims Tied to Toxic Disposal fires by Citing National Security. Plaintiffs Fear Retaliation" By Margaret A. Jacobs. The article stated that, "The government in effect argues that the national-security privilege -a form of executive privilege- gives the military more leeway than the president has to keep information secret, even if it involved a crime." The article continues,
    "The workers' attorneys have repeatedly asked Judge Pro, who once found that the government wasn't liable for injuries to 216 workers exposed to radiation at the Nevada test site between 1951 and 1981, to limit the material the government can restrict under the national -security privilege to truly sensitive information. In other privilege cases, the lawyers say, judges have segregated sensitive material and given the public access to the rest. A few courts have enlisted special judges with high-level security clearance or held secret trials rather than dismiss cases against the government", Vermont's Prof. Dycus says.

    The article concluded with the following.

    The Defense Department, however, claims to have properly asserted the national-security privilege. Though conceding that its position will result in some routine information about the base being withheld, government lawyers argue that they can't acknowledge seemingly innocuous facts without creating a 'mosaic' that an enemy could use to figure out what the military considers a secret. While Judge Pro hasn't ruled on the government's motion to dismiss the case, he has decided in its favor on most important issues including the 'mosaic' theory. Last month, he found that the government had properly refused to provide virtually all of the material sought by the plaintiffs and that the government had properly classified the manuel. He also rejected without explanation the workers' argument that the government can't use the privilege to conceal evidence of a crime. Prof. Turley's office remains under seal and off limits to faculty members and students. He says his clients intend to appeal many of the judge's rulings. One important point, however, the workers prevailed. Last spring, the government disclosed that the EPA had begun inspecting Area 51, making it the first 'black' base opened to public inspection. But, citing the privilege, the government refused to make the inspection report public, as required by law. After the plaintiffs objected, Judge Pro ruled the government could withhold the report only if it got an exemption from the president. Shortly afterward, President Clinton, who the same week publicly apologized to the victims of radiation experiment and who is opening up long-classified files about public exposure to atom-bomb tests in the 1950s, granted the exemption. His memo said keeping the reports secret was in the nation's 'paramount interest."

    National security is more important than the human rights of Area 51 workers, according to the judge.
       

  8. A grassroots campaign; one avenue of many that victims can effectively work on in their search for an end to nonconsensual experimentation. There are massive problems. Government harassment and problems with secrecy.
       
    The public should know of mind control and electromagnetic technology development and have a say on how it is used. But evidence indicates that they are not interested or may feel powerless to have any effect on the issue. It is a fact that people in the US are not politically active in terms of mind control and other issues. There have been American, Canadian, Australian, Russian and German TV programs about mind control technology, and there has not been a massive public protest. It would seem that the US government is also testing the waters. There has been little public reaction so far. Cynicism and the feeling that one cannot make any changes in a system of government that is growing every day may be some of the reasons for this apathy. The problem of mind control merits a response as in the 1960s response to nuclear, environmental and women's issues but it is not there. For these reasons, it seems logical to conclude that the nonconsensual experimentation will continue for many years, without major changes.
       
  9. Harassment in order to suppress information from the public
       
    Scientists developing mind control technology were also under political pressure and loss of funding if they did not cooperate with the status quo. And scientists who have worked on unclassified but related research were also pressured in this way. See previous CAHRA [now Mind Justice] articles, on Dr. Robert Becker, Dr. Eldon Byrd and Dr. Ross Adey's loss of funding for electromagnetic nonthermal biological effects research. Tom Bearden is a retired army officer who has written books on electromagnetic weapons and is one of the few professionals to speak out about mind control technology. It was reported in Atlantis Rising no 12 by William P. Eigles page 18, that "Since the early 1990s, however Bearden has shunned any discussion of psychotronics( this is another name for electromagnetic weapons, see previous CAHRA [now Mind Justice] articles), mysteriously claiming reticence to be the prudent course for any man interested in 'staying healthy."
       
    Paul Schaefer has a degree in electrical engineering from U of Missouri-Rolla who worked on nuclear weapons for four years for an Atomic Energy Commission contractor and was an activist. He died in 1999. He has written about harassment with hi tech electromagnetic technologies and there have been attempts to discredit him for his views. The Greenham Commons nuclear protesters also experienced electromagnetic harassment and mail tampering, threats and burglaries in the 1980s. See Human Rights CAHRA [now Mind Justice] article.
       
    Here are two more examples in the nuclear industry. In 1981, the California Attorney General's Office assigned an estimated 10 percent of the agents in its Bureau of Investigation to a special task force on anti-nuclear activists. In 1971, PG&E attempted to discredit filmmaker Don Widener, who produced a television documentary highly critical of the nuclear industry's safety record(Nuclear California 1982 by David Kaplan p. 26). There are many more examples and this is one reason that the issue of electromagnetic radiation could be kept out of the public eye.
       
    U.S. News and World Report, 4-14-97 p. 15 reported on CSETI's director, Steven Greer, a physician ." requesting the government to disclose whether there have ever been experiments in remote mind-control, alien cryptography, and other supersecret "unacknowledged special access projects." On CSETI's website is Dr. Greer's letter of July 3, 1997 stating that he felt it was a strange coincidence that he and his coworker were stricken with cancer at the same time last year. His CSETI coworker has died. There are many more examples. This is a common phenomena in many different fields in which there are struggles for power. By demonstrating this pattern, it becomes more understandable in a field that people have not heard of, such as classified high technology.
       
    This is an article listed on Lexis Nexis database, available at college libraries. As reported in the Intelligence Newsletter 10-3-96 Indigo Publications, a respected and expensive newsletter on intelligence issues, Admiral Mike Boorda chief of naval operations committed suicide. He is now known to have headed a secret body called the Strategic Studies Group,(available on the Internet), to study topics such as cognitive warfare. It cited an example of using electromagnetic force to produce speech in the human body, enabling covert suggestions to be planted in someone's brain. "The same techniques, say the experts could be used to prevent muscular movements, control emotions and actions, produce sleep and interfere with short-term and long-term memory." The article states that Admiral Boorda was "deeply involved in a study on the possibilities of cognitive warfare, a form of mind control that uses acoustical, optical and electromagnetic fields or a combination of the three to interfere with the biological processes of an enemy, .some lurid reports have surfaced that he was murdered because he was about to reveal sinister undertakings by the Navy in mind control and brain warfare."
       
  10. Networking with other grassroot organizations
       
    It is hard to convince people to deal with a problem that only indirectly affects their future. To the general public, the mind control issue is a problem that can wait. Mind control triggers thoughts of lunatic fringe, muddied waters with little evidence and fears of national security issues. This is what victims must overcome and find a strategy to deal with. An alternative is to ask people for donations to this cause. For example CAHRA [now Mind Justice] is a non profit 501(c)3 organization. This is a small step that people can do and it would make a difference in the outcome of this issue.
       
    Networking with other human rights groups such as Nukewatch and subscribing to their quarterly newsletter is helpful. There are books on the topic and the latest information on the Stop Project ELF Coalition, how to protest in an effective way. Contact nukewtch@win.bright.net or write Nukewatch, P.O. Box 649, Luck, WI 54853. This grassroots effort has been used by groups such as the famous Project Censored, Sonoma State U in California, a media watchdog group. They have reported on the dangers of HAARP. See http://www.projectcensored.org/ or contact director Peter Phillips at (707)664-2500.
       
    The Berkeley Earth Regeneration Society headed by Aldon Bryan in Berkeley, California has been working for over 15 years on environmental issue with scientists such as Dr. Glenn Seaborg. At a recent conference in Berkeley, Dr. Bryan described his work as "starting at a grassroots level and working up". This group has worked with Congressman Dellums on legislation and a teachers association, and the AFL-CIO for support. They were recently successful in organizing the Rio conference on air quality, an international effort involving the UN. The internet is also a good grassroots tool for victims and seems to be less censored than major newspapers.
       
    In conclusion, the long-term reality does seem to be bleak and the short term gains in grassroots work are still worth the effort.
       
  11. Innovation: in the end, victims must try anything that might work and is realistic

  12. The approximately 500 victims who have contacted CAHRA [now Mind Justice] have advice on how to survive this experience
    • Go on with your life as much as you can
    • Talk to as many victims as you can so that you will know what you are dealing with
    • Don't spend money on travel and trying to escape it. This is world-wide. Not one victim has been successful by trying to run.
    • Document what you can but don't spend needed funds; learn from victims who have already tried everything
    • Be methodical when approaching professionals, don't loose your cool.
    • Do what you are able for the cause but take care of your health and personal life first
    • This is human nature at its worse, plan for the heartless psychological tricks and games by talking with other victims who have been through it
    • Do what you enjoy, are good at etc, for the cause, if you are willing and able.
    • Compensate in postiive ways for the torture you are enduring.
