A final editorial opinion
Contents | Top
Please note that this book is solely the opinion of Cheryl Welsh and it is
not necessarily the opinion of Citizens Against Human Rights Abuse. This
book reflects the lessons and progress in the last two years of networking
and research. I am posting it, hoping that it will save others the time and
money I spent. I hope that investigative reporters will investigate the many
leads.
The U.S. government maintains a massive, fifty year old cold war, highly
classified electromagnetic weapons program and there are allegations of current
illegal experimentation similar to radiation experiments. Here are the facts
given by the U.S. government officials. In stark contrast, the concerns and
opinions about electromagnetic weapons and alleged illegal experiments are
given by human rights professionals, medical doctors, scientists and the
growing numbers of victims of alleged nonconsensual experimentation. The
table of contents and conclusion section provide a summary of the 130 + pages.
This book is about an international campaign to end human rights violations
using classified new weapons of mass destruction based on electromagnetic
and neurological technologies. There will be examples to describe who, what
when, where and why of this campaign, for example, 1986, January 21.
Press Conference on Gorbachev's Nuclear Arms Elimination Proposals.
BBC Summary of World Broadcasts. Tass for abroad. Part1 The USSR; A.
International Affairs; 1.General and Western Affairs;SU/8162/A1/1. Lexis-Nexis.
"Weapons based on new physical principles would include, amongst
others, means in which physical principles which have not been used hitherto
are used to strike at personnel, military equipment and objectives. Amongst
weapons of this kind one might include beam, radio-wave,
infrasonic, geophysical and genetic weapons. In their strike
characteristics these types of weapons might be no less dangerous than
mass strike weapons. The Soviet Union considers it necessary to establish
a ban on the development of arms of this kind. The Soviet Union has not carried
out, nor does it intend to carry out either tests of such arms, or -even
less so - the deployment of them. It will seek to ensure that all other countries
do not do so either."
This book will define a classified human rights issue to be compared with
the Holocaust. Electromagnetic and neurological technologies are being developed
and are on line, for political and military use. The technology is currently
being used in programs of nonconsensual human experimentation, in domestic
and foreign intelligence projects and for military action. UN documentation
and more verifies a 50 year U.S. cold war cover story. This book concentrates
on nonconsensual experimentation.

I want to thank all of my fellow research and networkers for many of the
articles quoted in this paper, especially Harlan Girard, of the International
Committee Against Offensive Microwave Weapons, who has a gift for recruiting
professionals to this issue and for gathering the relevant and prolific evidence
in support of our cause on an international level. He is truly a hero to
the cause and can take credit for the formation of this movement. Harlan
Girard is responsible for much of the progress made toward an end to the
ongoing human rights abuses using classified electromagnetic technologies.

Citizens Against Human Rights Abuse is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization formed
in 1996. CAHRA's international membership of nonconsensual experiment victims
has been growing phenomenally ever since. Donations are tax exempt and
appreciated. Thanks to your generosity, CAHRA is sponsoring the Dr. Bertell
Preliminary Study.

Cheryl Welsh is a law student in Sacramento, California. She received an
AA degree in math and science and then worked for ten years as a medical
receptionist In 1987, she went back to school at University of California,
Davis and received a bachelors in physical education. She had a very average
life until she became a victim of nonconsensual experimentation in 1987.
Since then she has changed her life in order to stop this torture. She now
has a second bachelors in government from California State University, Sacramento
and has started a nonprofit research and education organization, Citizens
Against Human Rights Abuse (CAHRA) in 1996

In memory of two victims who have died fighting: Paul
Schaefer and Carol Sterling
Paul Schaefer
1946-1999, a tireless activist against mind control. He wrote articles for
his local paper and networked for years with many victims. He graduated with
an electrical engineering degree from the University of Missouri at Rolla
and had four years of experience working on nuclear weapons components at
Bendix before he became an environmental activist in the 70s. Paul passed
away from complications of cancer. This is an article in the Kansas City
Pitch Weekly, April 13-19, 1995, " Ex-engineer Against Adverse Energy" by
Mike Taylor.
Some people say prayers before they start eating a meal. On a cold night
at Nichols Lunch, Paul Schaefer pulled a white plastic cone and paint-less
wooden ball on a piece of string from his blue windbreaker. he dangled the
contraption over a plastic basket of fried shrimp and french fries. The pendulum
swung counterclockwise, as he pointed out, which it shouldn’t do in
the northern hemisphere. Schaefer dunked the pendulum in a glass of water.
After he pulled it out, he hung it over the food again. The contraption rotated
clockwise. He said, "I observed water-in addition to cleaning off germs-is
a good way to diffuse adverse energy. Water and earth help control the effects
of adverse beams and substances." When Schaefer walked into Nichols, he wore
headphones under a red, white and blue mesh baseball cap. When asked what
he was listening to, he said "I don’t know what station it is. I’m
listening to the high end of the FM spectrum. I’m using radio waves
to pump energy into my ears." Schaefer worries about ‘adverse energy,’
even though his bearded face always seems to be on the verge of a grin. "There
are energies beyond heat and light." he said, "The electromagnetic spectrum
didn’t exist until we created it. All of these things are outside the
popular belief of what our environmental problems are." The fiftyish handyman
with an engineering degree from the University of Missouri at Rolla and four
years of experience working on nuclear weapons components at bendix, now
Allied Signal, became an environmental activist in the 70s. He played an
active role in fighting against and delaying the construction of the Wolf
Creek Nuclear Plant in Burlington, KS, through a group called the Natural
Guard. Schaefer still concerns himself with the belief that the human race
is destroying itself and the world with it, but he has focused more now on
what could best be called the ‘extrasensory environment." A frequent
‘letter to the editor’ contributor, Schaefer wrote to the Pitch
Weekly (March 24, 1994): "Now that flame-throwers and tanks are losing
popularity, a kinder gentler process might be used on politically incorrect
individuals such as employing a beam(s) to extract bio-energy from the space,
where they are located, and causing their (people’s health to decline."
He wears what he calls an "environmental flak jacket" to protect himself
from the adverse energies. It’s not just a piece of clothing. Black
straps hold plastic tubes filled with liquid crystal are connected to coils,
wires and a low frequency vibrator. Schaefer powers the contraption with
batteries he carries in two cloth pouches on his hips. He said he thought
the unseen forces mainly attacked his aura. Schaefer said, "Auras show our
connection to everything. They can be used to facilitate preventative medicine.
"Schaefer thinks auras, which he said are as unique to each individual as
fingerprints or DNA, can provide advances in psychological counseling as
well as preventive medicine. "In his last interview, (Frank) Zappa said he
didn’t feel good, but doctors couldn’t help him," said Schaefer.
"If he’d had his aura read, he might have been able to avoid the illness
that eventually overtook him." Most people wouldn’t wear something like
his flax jacket said Schaefer. "(But) I live in a more adverse environment
than most people." He cites numerous examples of occasions when "adverse
energies," ‘beams’ or ‘substances’ have been
‘shot’ at him. "A neighbor called me over to her porch one day,
to tell me she’d seen a beam of light come out of the sky and shoot
into one of my windows," said Schaefer. "I could see the path through the
garden where the leaves turned yellow." He told of being in a small
town Missouri church with his mother on Easter Sunday, "Somebody (the government,
I presume) turned a beam on us. I felt it and braced myself. My mother shrunk
way down in the pew and it destroyed her hearing aid." He said the energies,
beams or substances had been used in his house and car also. He said that
last winter the motion sensors in front of his house operated all the time
without apparent reason. Schaefer noticed the problem stopped around Easter.
When asked what government agencies are attacking him, Schaefer said, "As
far as I can tell, the Air Force, Army, Department of Defense, Justice
Department, Department of Energy." when asked why they want to attack
him, he said it was because of his radical activities and writings.
When asked if he’d investigated and tried to find proof, Schaefer said
he’s been met with ‘plausible deniability." But he said, "There
seems to be evidence they have this technology." Schaefer has cited the
Pentagon’s HAARP project-High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project-by
the Navy and Air Force as proof of the government’s involvement in
electromagnetic energy research and manipulation. (HAARP was listed as one
of Project Cnesored’s Top Ten Censored Stories of 1994.) "I sent a letter
to (US Senator from Missouri) Kit Bond," Schaefer said. "Bond asked for more
information and then never answered after that. When you don’t hear
from them, that means they know." Schaefer added that the FBI would not take
a report. After eating the shrimp and fries in Nichols, Schaefer demonstrated
the "adverse energies" affecting his car, in the parking lot. He help the
pendulum over the rear bumper of his beat-up 7-something fastback Mustang.
the contraption rotated counterclockwise, just as it had in the restaurant.
Then he held the pendulum over the bumper of a green garbage truck and it
swung clockwise. For Paul Schaefer the proof of adverse energy is all around.
Here are excerpts from the International Review of the Red Cross 279,
1, Nov. 1990 entitled "The Development of New Antipersonnel Weapons by Louise
Doswald-Beck and Gerald C. Cauderay. In comparing Paul Schaefer’s
account to the weapons described in the article, a picture emerges. Paul’s
account of targeting by government beam weapons because he was an activist
becomes very plausible. Of course Paul would never be able to prove targeting
of classified electromagnetic weapons.
5. Directed Energy Weapons. .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. .It is possible today to generate a very powerful microwave
pulse (e.g., between 150 and 3,000 megahertz), with an energy level of several
hundreds of megawatts. Using specially adapted antenna systems, these
generators could in principle transmit over hundreds of metres sufficient
energy to cook a meal. However, it is important to mention that the lethal
or incapacitating effects which can be expected from weapons systems using
this technology can be produced with much lower energy levels. Using the
principle of magnetic field concentration, which permits the control of the
geometry on the target, by means of antenna systems especially designed for
the purpose, the radiated energy can be concentrated on very small surfaces
of the human body, for example the base of the brain where relatively low
energy can produce lethal effects. .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. .Some
research seem to have confirmed that lo-level electromagnetic fields, modulated
to be similar to normal brainwaves, could seriously affect brain
function. Experiments with pulsed magnetic fields carried out in
animals have reportedly produced specific effects such as inducing sleep
and triggering anxiety or aggressiveness, depending on the modulation of
the frequency used. It is, on the other hand, well known that lethal effects
can also be produced by using higher power levels than those used for the
experiments on behaviour modification. An anti-personnel weapon based
on such biophysical principles could produce similar effects to those of
a nerve gas, but would have no secondary effects and leave no lasting
trace.

Carole committed suicide in order to escape the torture of electromagnetic
technology. Here is an article in The Star Beacon, October 1996 page 2 by
Carole.
Incident at Mesquite, Nevada conference Dear Star Beacon, I am writing about
something that happened to me which goes back to December 1995. I went to
a conference in Nevada. The day following the last night at the conference,
I noticed that I had an injection mark on the base of my spine which was
sore. Then the nightmare started three days after my return to Washington,
DC An irregular pulsing and humming sound- which at first seemed impossible
to tell what direction it came from- it seemed louder when I was lying down,
was crushing me with pain. The oppression was unbearable;
shockwaves, like a beating, were particularly painful in the head and in
the areas where I had scars or surgery. It reverberated in those areas as
well as in the area just behind the ears (the mastoid bone area, filled with
air pockets). It totally scrambled my brain, leaving me unable
to think properly, simply functioning on sheer shock and horror, with total
incomprehension of what was going on. It actually was debilitating. The room
felt like a torture chamber. This forced me out of my home. I desperately
went to my relatives’ home five blocks away. This began in their home
, too. As I lay down trying to sleep, I heard two sharp cracking sounds on
the television set and the same thing started again. This time I was better
able to notice that whatever this was it was primarily directed to the left
side of my head. The effects were so intense. My flesh felt as if it were
being kneaded like dough; the glands under my chin were excruciatingly painful,
as was the area next to the knees where I had scars. When I moved to the
other room this started again after a few minutes; the two cracking pops
on the television glass, followed by the excruciating pain. As I said, this
seemed to be zeroing in on the left side of my head. What I did- maybe too
late- was shield my head as best I could with aluminum wrap, which I could
hear cracking like popcorn in a microwave. The intensity of this horrifying
experience lasted for three days. It followed me like radar, zeroing in on
me, to two other friends’ home a few miles away, where I had gone to
because I was trying to get away to avoid the pain. Since then, I have felt
extremely ill with recurring excruciating symptoms every day. The left
part of my brain is where these symptoms seem to be localized. However,
nothing has shown up on an MRI or EEG. I believe that the technology used,
be it some type of a frequency assault, some sort of directed
energy, in addition to whatever was injected in me, has caused damage to
my brain. [I have] been living with this debilitating and excruciating pain
for the last eight months so far. The pain, which feels like an extremely
sharp sciatic pain localized in the left side of the brain, is accompanied
by stupor, memory loss. My brain feels scrambled, at times far worse than
at other times. The only improvement is that my hands, which were quite numb
and stiff, are back to normal as of two weeks ago. Needless to say,
this is something I no longer discuss with some family members or doctors,
as they think it is so far-fetched, they just do not believe me.
Only very few people do I discuss this with. Writing this has been an effort
of sheer will, at a time-usually the early hours of the day-when the symptoms
are not as severe. I am trying to get better physically and get rid of the
pain, hoping that somewhere there are individuals who are familiar with this
kind of technology and can help me. Carole Sterling.
The comparisons of Carole’s experience to the effects which electromagnetic
weapons are designed to produce iare similar. 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."

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
-
Briefly, electromagnetic technology works on the theory that the mind
and body are an electromagnetically mediated biophysics system and the
electromagnetic signals from outside sources can mimic the mind and body's
electromagnetic signals and therefore a weapon can be developed based on
these principles. There is evidence that since the 1950s, the U.S.
and other governments have been developing electromagnetic weapons which
can remotely target the electromagnetic system of the human body for military
and intelligence purposes. I have posted extensive reliable documentation
on my website at
www.calweb.com/~welsh [now mindjustice.org].
-
This is a bullet to mark descriptions of victim’s symptoms
-
The technology causes pain and can incapacitate the victim. Victims report
very serious symptoms such as on, off control of pain in any nerve of the
body, total control of body functions such as manipulation of breathing and
heart beats, including heart stoppage and severe pain. Many victims report
dream manipulation, memory input and control, subliminal control, visual
hallucinations, holograms, hearing distortions, sense of touch distortions,
microwave burns, involuntary muscle movement, voice and speech input, control
of emotions and personality overlay. Victims report heat sensations to different
organs of the body. Most report sleep deprivation and technology that can
see what the victim is seeing in real time.
-
There is a clearer picture of the problem now that victims are steadily coming
forward. Over and over, they report physical pain, microwave
burns, sleep deprivation and microwave hearing or voices of threats
and abuse 24 hrs a day.
L.J. West, a CIA psychiatrist who died in Jan. 1999 (see previous
Cahra 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 the 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
-
Victims report microwave hearing, very negative voices, music and sounds,
24 hours a day for years on end. Victims describe direct communication with
the computer programs of military-corporation scientists.
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
-
Victims believe that neighbors, employers, the military, the FBI, defense
contractors, cults, masons, ETs, universities, hospitals, the music industry,
drug connection or DEA, DARPA, NSA, IDA, CIA, Hughes, Lockheed and similar
entities are behind the targeting. Here is an excerpt from the NASA abstract
above and it points to the likelihood of military corporation involvement.
The majority of victims believe there is government involvement.
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.

The brain, which is an electromagnetic system can be controlled remotely.
The tiny electromagnetic signals can be deciphered and your innermost thoughts
can be accessed. Unclassified science articles posted on Cahra website support
this claim. In addition, classified research is always at least twenty years
ahead of unclassified technology. Please refer to Cahra website for documents
to show the advanced level of current technology. One example, BBC News Online
Oct 11, 1999, Dr. David Whitehouse, Looking Through Cats' Eyes Fuzzy but
recognizable. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid 471000/471786.stm
A BBC News article reported on the first pictures from an experiment
to see through the eyes of a cat.
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.
-
Most victims report a blatant arrogance in how the technology is used. The
attitude that "you will never stop us and we can do anything we want to you,"
is reported over and over by victims. It seems to be a cruel psychological
trick, either to bring out the worst behavior in victims, and/or an effective
cover story and diversion for the actual experiment being conducted. Or it
is designed to break personalities, like torture. It is effective;
most victims are left to sound mentally ill while they explain that their
neighbors are after them and the government is beaming them with microwaves.
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."
-
Victims have described offensive odors, which cause a person to leave an
area. Noise campaigns are common. Victims report all type of sound distortions
and manipulation of sound levels, even the creation of harassive sounds.
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.
-
Victims also report that the technology is incredibly sophisticated. Most
victims do not openly describe the extent of the technology because it sounds
impossible. But victims describe the same cluster of symptoms over
and over. While technology expert Bill Joy warns of the evils of
technology and several editorials such as U.S. News and World Report comment,
(see section below), victims can verify that this technology is in the wrong
hands and Joy’s worse predictions are actually happening.
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 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
-
Victims are labeled as mentally ill and are in this way, 'neutralized', a
very old tool of governments. Black bag intelligence break ins, burglaries,
slashed tires, mail tampering and other known government intimidation tactics
are commonly used on victims.
-
Victims are reporting that they are targeted for experimentation, torture
and/or harassment because of whistleblowing activity, numerous reasons such
as because of their drug activity, to steal their creativity and ideas, political
or personal retaliation, military or defense corporation connections or they
don’t know.
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 has networked with over 500 alleged survivors.

Russian groups similar to Cahra, 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 "the 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 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 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."

EFFECTS OF LOW POWER MICROWAVES ON THE LOCAL
CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW OF CONSCIOUS RATS
KENNETH J. OSCAR, Ph.D
US ARMY MOBILITY EQUIPMENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COMMAND
FORT BELVOIR, VIRGINIA 22060
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.

Chapter 2. Why are victims targeted?
As a result of the atomic bomb, the U.S. government conducted illegal radiation
experiments. In brief, as a result of highly classified electromagnetic weapon
technologies, victims are alleging illegal ongoing human experimentation
today. Evidence supports this big picture. Nobody will inform the public
that secrets of brain function were being explored for weapon purposes back
in the 1950s. Therefore victims have searched for answers concerning
electromagnetic weapon development and related human rights abuses.
There is a mosaic picture of classified military control of the technology
for over fifty years and it is a complex, fascinating and still classified
story. Here are a few examples. A U.S. Air Force Spacecom military slogan
is "full spectrum dominance", while a Russian general made a famous comment
that "he who controls the whole electromagnetic spectrum controls the world."

The CIA's MKULTRA program and LSD mind control experiments began in the 1950s,
during the time of the Korean brainwashing scare. Albert Biderman wrote articles
on the Korean brainwashing "Biderman acknowledges this study was also supported
in part by the Society for the Investigations of Human Ecology, which has
been reported to have served as a conduit for CIA-funded psychological research."
See John Marks book, " Search for the Manchurian Candidate". For an excellent
referenced book on the history of government mind control experiments see
"The Mind Manipulators A non-fiction account" by Alan W. Scheflin and Edward
M. Opton, Jr. 1978, Paddington Press Scheflin is a law professor at Santa
Clara School of Law, California.
A quote by the CIA director at a congressional hearing and his comments on
the interest in electromagnetic technology is footnoted on my website. Harlan

To make a critical review of literature and scientific developments related
to the recording, analysis and interpretation of bioelectric signals from
the human organism and activation of human behavior by remote means. As it
is visualized, the task should begin with a general survey of research and
instrumentation in a number of fields; including neruophysiology, biophysics,
anatomy, physiological psychology and neuropsychiatry, as well as electronics,
telemetry and communications engineering. At the same time that bibliographic
and related activity is initiated, correspondence should be undertaken with
all laboratories, companies and agencies working in or carrying out activities
related to designated areas of the broad survey problem. Visits to laboratories
may be undertaken if needed. The divisions of the problem fall naturally
into five main areas; (1) bioelectric sensors: sources of significant electrical
potential and methods of pick-up; (2) recording; amplification, electronic
tape and other multi-channel recording; (3) analysis: autocorrelators, spectrum
analyzers, etc. and coordination with automatic data processing equipment;
(4) standardization of data for correlation with biochemical, physiological
and behavioral indices; (5) techniques of activation of the human organism
by remote electronic means. Progress has been made and the list of laboratories,
investigators and resources in the Bioelectronic study is in preparation.
In addition, I have posted citations to the 1970s UN documents from Russia
on electromagnetic weapons arms control proposals and they are available
at any library with UN documents. One excellent book is The United Nations
and Disarmament: 1945-1985 by the UN Department for Disarmament Affairs.
(1985) New York, UN Publication Sales
No. E.85.IX.6. It describes Russian proposals to ban electromagnetic weapons
from 1975 through1985. This East West political disagreement, as described
in this excerpt from pages114-116, continues today.
In the last five years, there have been Russian, German, Australian and American
TV programs on weapons which target the mind and the media is writing more
about this issue. For example an excellent German TV program is; Secret Russia,
Moscow The Zombies of the Red Czars A documentary by Jerzy Sladkowski, edited
by Agnieszka Bojanowska, camera by Nikolaj Sidortschenko, producer Horst
Kalbus, a production by Besta Film, Warschau, Stanislaw Krzeminski. Financed
by (the German TV channel) ZDF and (the ??? TV channel) TVP, in close cooperation
with (the French/German TV channel) Arte. The documentary aired on the German
ZDF Tuesday evening, December 22, 1998, A VHS copy of the documentary is
available from the German TV-station ZDF for the equivalent of 80 DM
(approximately 40 Euros) plus shipping & mailing charges. To order, be
sure to mention the title and the precise date the documentary was shown
on German TV (see above). The address is: ZDF Programmverwertung Postfach

This is an excerpt from "Secret Russia": SPEAKER (continued),
He alleges that the KGB already experimented on him during the 1950's. Fact
is, at that time André was a prisoner of the Stalinistic camps and
the KGB. Yirena Koslova sleeps in this cage to protect herself against the
exterior effects of psychotronic influences. When she notices our expressions
of disbelief she shows us an attestation from the International Center of
Psychiatry which certifies that she is psychologically perfectly healthy.
Yirena used to work for the Moscow district attorney. She was fired after
she protested against the suppression of politically sensitive evidence.
Russian victims describe the same symptoms as the American counterparts.
Electromagnetic weapons emit electromagnetic energy which is not visible
to the eye. And electromagnetic health effects caused by exposure to
electromagnetic energy has not been established by mainstream science. It
is controversial. Therefore, like the Russian victim, most victims are assumed
to be mentally ill because the weapon cannot be seen like a weapon such as
a bullet, and it leaves no scientifically accepted wound like a bullet does.
Based on the facts in this book and victim’s allegations, it seems clear;
victims are targeted for illegal experiments on how to control the brain
, how the brain works under stress, in outer space conditions and on the
battlefield. These are experiments for outer space, military and psy-ops
or intelligence.

Chapter 3. Scientists and victims claim same warnings
and predictions
Usually mind control is discounted and portrayed as a fringe issue and yet
top scientists have warned about the dangers of mind control technology and
predicted that it is a certainty in the near future. This section presents
examples of the human behavior of discounting the victim’s problem with
the result that nothing is done to help the victim. Most victims have been
unable to convince friends and family that the government is "reading their
mind" or "beaming microwaves at them". The second section presents several
world class scientists opinions about mind control. The similarity between
the two sections is notable.
Contents | Top
Section 1. Victim stereo-type
Victims have been labeled with simplistic terms like ‘conspiracy nuts’
and ‘kooks’.
Here is an example of how victims are lumped with conspiracy theories and
loony street people or mentally ill. Jim Martin, who runs Flatland Publishing
(PO Box 2420, Fort Bragg, California 95437 or
http://www.flatlandbooks.com)
is an alternative press publisher which sells mind control books and more.
He wrote in Flatland Magazine #15 that "I get calls from Hollywood
on an irritatingly regular basis. Warner Brothers called me and picked my
brain on ‘conspiracy theories,’ telling me about some movie they
were making which would have Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts. [This
is the movie Conspiracy Theory] based on the ravings of loony Mel, as Jerry
Fletcher. .The central plot element involves a mind-controlled assassin who
has flashbacks of his mistreatment at the hands of a rogue CIA psychiatrist.]
.Just check out Flatland Magazine #11, on mind control, to discover
where they came up with their plot line. The audience took it as
fantasy."
A 1998 movie entitled "Disturbing Behavior" is about a neuro-pharmacist
who’s devised a behavioral modification program combining simple
brainwashing techniques with cybernetics. He plants microprocessors in the
kids’ brains and transforms them from deviants to motivational blue
Ribbon kids and something goes awry. It was rated as "too silly to be
frightening." This movie may be disinformation, it is probably just a movie
but it is easy to see how victims can be labeled and discounted.
And finally, refer to the victims section to find numerous examples such
as the following. 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.

Section 2. Top scientists warn of mind control technology
From the 1950s to 2000, scientists have been "on the verge of the discovery"
of the key to consciousness or the fundamental brain code similar to the
discovery of DNA. Here are predictions by Robert Oppenheimer in 1955, Dr.
David Krech, UC Berkeley, 1965, Dr. H. Jack Geiger,1994, Dr. Perpich of Howard
Hughes Medical Foundation in 1998, Hans Mark, Director U.S. Defense Researach
and Engineering in 1999 and Bill Joy, computer expert in 2000.
Robert Oppenheimer wrote "Analogy in Science in The American Psychologist
and presented the paper at the American Psychological Association, San Francisco,
CA on Sept 4, 1955. Oppenheimer stated:
There are other ways in which we are brothers. In the last ten years the
physicists have been extraordinarily noisy about the immense powers which,
largely through their efforts, but through other efforts as well, have come
into the possession of man, powers notably and strikingly for very large-scale
and dreadful destruction. We have spoken of our responsibilities and of our
obligations to society in terms that sound to me very provincial, because
the psychologist can hardly do anything without realizing that for him
the acquisition of knowledge opens up the most terrifying prospects
of controlling what people do and how they think and how they behave and
how they feel. This is true for all of you who are engaged in practice,
and as the corpus of psychology gains in certitude, and subtlety and skill,
I can see that the physicist’s plea is that what he discovers
be used with humanity and be used wisely will seem rather trivial compared
to those pleas which you will have to make and for which you will have to
be responsible.
"Mind Control on Way, Scientist Warns" in the New York Times Dec. 28,1965.
"Scientists must start thinking now about the possibilities of mind
control that their research may soon make possible, the chairman
of a symposium on the brain said today." "I don’t believe that
I am being melodramatic," Dr. David Krech, professor
of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley said in the opening
of the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science." 12-29-65 of the New York Times, Krech suggested that
"probable future capabilities for controlling human minds contain more
serious implications than even the successes of the nuclear
physicists". "
Here is a warning and recommendation from a human rights expert. On January
25, 1994 at the Hearing before the Committee on Governmental Affairs United
States Senate entitled "Human Radiation and Other Scientific Experiments:
The Federal Government’s Role", the lead-off government witness,
H. Jack Geiger, MD, professor of community medicine at City
University of New York Medical School and national president of Physicians
for Human Rights and founding member of Physicians for Social Responsibility.
Dr. Geiger urged that citizens needed to be protected from human experimentation
"invoking national security and secrecy."
He stated further;
Second, I think we need to look specifically to the risk that all of this
can occur again [radiation experiments], and we have been told frequently
that by today’s standards, no, it can’t. What concerns me
is the likelihood, the possibility, that we will have some other intense
national security scare of the kind that we have in the 1940’s and
1950’s; that we will have some other development of a new category of
weapon or potential weapon, whether chemical, biological, radiological,
electronic, or other, and that there will be the same desperate urgency,
invoking national security and secrecy, to discover the parameters of this
threat, the parameters of the potential usefulness of this agent, and therefore
to conduct experiments independently and without public knowledge or scrutiny
of the kind that have drawn our attention to these. It seems to me
that is critical situation that we have to find ways to protect against,
and one answer, at least, is that there should be no research, no matter
how secret, no matter how classified as involving national security, that
should be independent of the scrutiny of an institutional review board which
includes non-governmental scientists not connected with the agencies that
are conducting the research and which will apply the same standards and the
same protocols both to individual and to public exposures.
Dr. Joseph G. Perpich, director for the grants program at the Howard Hughes
Medical Foundation, spoke at the Woodley House Mental Illness Conference
in 1998. The conference was aired on CSPAN and Dr. Perpich described the
current state of research, "It has not been for lack of interest that brain
research has not found its "revolution in neuroscience". He stated that "a
New York Times article talked about computer chips to be so powerful that
your knowledge and consciousness can be stored and uploaded into a clone’s
brain" Dr. Perpich was probably referring to the article entitled "Merging
of Man and Machine Challenges Natural Selection, 8-14-98, by Rob Fixmer,
New York Times. It discussed the ‘Soul Catcher’ by British
Telecommunications PLC which "seeks to develop a computer that can be implanted
in the brain to compliment human memory and computational skills." The article
continues, "This area of research may seem far-fetched, but it is really
the logical extension of devices like pacemakers, ocular implants, which
simulate hearing for the deaf, and neuro-stimulators, which send small electrical
charges through nerves to alleviate certain kinds of pain. The article
ends with the warning, ".perhaps the most frightening question in these
futuristic visions of the mind-machine meld is who or what can be entrusted
to run the system."
U.S. News & World Report, March 27, 2000 page 10 reviewed a Wired article
by Bill Joy, chief scientist of Sun Microsystems. The article states
"Joy predicts that robotics, genetic engineering, and nanotechnology.could
prove more dangerous than nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons.
His argument? First, the technologies tempt abuse. Where governments, by
and large, controlled nuclear weapons, individuals will handle the new genies-and
individuals are prone to mishaps and misdeedsSecond Joy fears these technologies
will render human beings obsolete. This is not, he pleads, science
fiction."

Dr. Dean E. Wooldridge founded TRW in 1958 and quit in 1962
to pursue scientific interests. His comments in a book entitled The Machinery
of the Brain, 1963, p. 178 illustrate the mindset on space research of that
era. To solve the problem of speed of light travel that may require thousands
of years one could "record the contents of the astronaut’s brain.[and
transfer to a man made version of the astronaut ] the total recorded contents
of the brain."
Fortune December 12, 1994 page 101, "AT&T’s $12 Billion Cellular
Dream by Andrew Kupfer contained the following. Craig McCaw, who stepped
down as chief executive [of AT&T] when the deal closed in September,
is a strategist and dreamer. He’s the kind of man who in an interview
with Fortune once suggested in all apparent seriousness-as color drained
from the face of a PR man in attendance-that the Federal Communications
Commission should reserve spectrum for telepathic communications to be made
possible by brain implants he thinks will exist some day."
Here is example of the same scientific idea. A 1998 article from CNI News
discussed the ‘Soul Catcher" a chip which makes it possible to imbue
a new-born baby with a lifetime’s experiences of another person.
"This is the end of death" said Dr. Chris Winter, of British
Telecom’s artificial life team. He predicted that within three decades
it would be possible to relive other people’s lives by playing back
their experiences on a computer. "British Telecom would not divulge
how much money it is investing in the project, but Dr. Winter said it was
taking "Soul Catcher 2025’ very seriously. He admitted that there were
profound ethical considerations, but emphasized that BT was embarking on
this line of research to enable it to remain at the forefront of communications
technology."
And finally, see Cahra previous article for quote on Hans Moravec, Carnegie
Mellon researcher of the largest robotics center in the world, stated,
".that within the near future, it will be possible to put a person’s
personality into a computer and a computer personality into a
person."
A February 22, 1999 Forbes article described the thoughts of Peter Cochrane-the
head of research at British Telecom Laboratories (BT Labs), the British version
of Bell Labs. Cochrane and his R&D staff of 660 biologists, engineers
and physicists are working on the kinds of technologies that usually exist
only in science fiction movies." In a 1996 paper, Cochrane dubbed
this chip [in the brain] "Soul Catcher" .The article went on, "Cochrane estimates
that silicon implants will be common by 2010." "Cochrane dreams of the ability
to access, and even interact with, the greatest minds of our time. .But
if a silicon chip were embedded in their brains, it could capture their thoughts
and also be removed once they died."
From Defense News, August 16th, 1999 "Hans Mark Director, U.S. Defense Research
and Engineering. As the chief technical advisor for the secretary of defense
and the undersecretary of defense for acquisition and technology, Hans Mark
oversees the Pentagon's research, development, test and evaluation programs.
After 45 years conducting or administering military and government
research, he is eminently qualified to guide development of new technology
for the military. An excerpt of the interview,
.Q. If you could pick three things for the DARPA [Defense Advanced Research
Project Agency] what would you spend money on? A. The first priority
is to get heavily into basic biological research. Why biology? Well, biological
warfare is obvious. But there are other things that are perhaps even more
important in the long run. .The obvious answer is that there's a computer
between your ears that's pretty damn good in lots of ways. Q. So what you're
talking about is creating a computer that works like biology? A. Yes. The
scientific community already is beginning with neural networks to look at
the architecture of the brain. Which means you have self-programming and
all these things. We now need to look at biology to look at the functioning
elements."
U.S. News & World Report, June 12, 2000, page 50 described a conference
"Scientific Approaches to Consciousness." The dispute is whether consciousness
can be reduced to a quantifiable element. The article stated that "AI
prophet Ray Kurzweil says that computers will exceed human intelligence no
later than 2020. Not only that, he adds but computers will merge, with human
memories being downloaded into machines and mechanical neural implants being
installed in human brains." Scientists are writing books and actively
researching this issue.
Top scientists over a fifty year period have publicly stated the same scientific
idea for research and have described how important neuro research is. It
would be logical to assume that another branch of the government may be working
on it secretly.

CHAPTER 4. HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION
The history of government illegal experimentation:
No codification of the Nuremberg Code or penalties under U.S. Law
The Nuremberg Code came into being as a result of the infamous medical
experiments by the Nazis in WWII. Consent by the experiment subject was paramount
and the code was adopted by the Department of Defense in the early 50s. In
the article, "The only Feasible Means", Jonathan Moreno described the lengthy
and highly classified discussions surrounding issue of experiments on humans
that were needed as a result of the cold war with Russia. While the Nuremberg
Code was adopted in a classified Pentagon policy, " cultural resistance,
.was far more subtle and difficult to control. It was perhaps for this
reason more than any other, that the policy’s consent requirements were
at best sporadically applied in the two decades that followed" (Hastings
Center Report, p. 11). The anti-Communist sentiment dictated that the experiments
be conducted in spite of much controversy among the top pentagon officials.
The relevancy of the above is also in its support of the plausibility of
nonconsensual experimentation occurring after radiation experiments. How
and why or why was the public policy not changed to avoid the problem in
the future? It seems that the public was appeased with superficial changes
after the expose of radiation experiments in 1993 and the subsequent
investigation. Radiation experiments were illegal but condoned. There
were government memos from the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in 1947 stating,
"It is desired that no document be released which refers to experiments with
humans and might have adverse effect on public opinion or result in legal
suits." Top officials were legally abusing the rights of radiation victims.
National Security classification was used to cover it up. This is how top
officials can bypass the democratic process. Because the National
Security Law has precedence over the rights of radiation victims, there is
no recourse under the current law. There is no process by which current alleged
victims can stop the electromagnetic experiments.
The radiation experiment investigation was ineffective to stop classified
experiments from happening again because the Nuremberg Code was never codified
under U.S. law and there has been little or no punishment for perpetrators
of this crime. Few question the horror of Nazi atrocities in the Nuremberg
experiments. And yet victims are alleging horrible human rights abuse with
electromagnetic weapons which target the mind. In spite of the end of the
cold war, it would seem that classified experiments are continuing as national
security overrides the rights of experiment victims. H. Jack Geiger of the
Physicians for Social Responsibility testified at a 1994 congressional hearing
about his fears of classified experiments happening again because of "the
likelihood, the possibility, that we will have some other intense national
security scare.; that we will have some other development of a new category
of weapon or potential weapon, whether.electronic, or other and that there
will be the same desperate urgency, invoking national security and secrecy,
to discover the parameters of this threat." Geiger advocated an independent
review panel for classified experiments, but this has not been done.
From this historical perspective, the cold war ideology can be seen as a
major stumbling block in the nonconsensual experiment issue.
By covering up undemocratic and illegal behavior at top levels of the government,
the victims of experiments on humans without their consent have been harmed
via the lack of a checks and balances system under national security
law. There has been a lack of effective U.S. law on experimentation
and punishment for crimes such as radiation experiments has never become
a statute or law. The underlying problem is governmental abuse of power via
national security policy which allows classified experiments. Secrecy and
the constitutional rights of the politically powerless experiment victims
are in conflict.
Nonconsensual experimentation victims have been made politically powerless
by the National Security Act. By defining the rules, those in power who hold
the cold war ideology of national security interests at the cost of radiation
victims. Those in power are able to carry out their policy. This is how the
democratic system worked in practice for radiation victims and now for
electromagnetic experiment victims.
The complexity of the issue is apparent. There is substantial historical
evidence of another classified experiment program to develop electromagnetic
weapons, like the radiation experiments. Without changes, the system will
undoubtedly fail over and over in the same way. The codification of the Nuremberg
Code and punishment for the perpetrators are essential.

Ethicists predict future illegal experimentation
Ethicist, Jonathan Moreno wrote an excellent 1999 book on radiation experiments
conducted as a result of development of the atomic bomb, The CIA’s LSD
mind control experiments exposed in 1970 congressional hearings, aviation
experiments for military flight by the Nazis, war related medical experiments
by Japan. and microwave weapons as a source of future illegal experimentation
. The book is "Undue Risk Secret State Experiments on Humans", 1999, W.H.
Freeman and Co. Moreno stated that "in the next century, as in the
past, military-medical research involving human subjects will be dictated
by the limits of information available from other sources". Based
on professional opinions, Moreno is one of many, it would be logical to conclude
that there may be classified military weapon experiments that began in the
1950s and continue to this day. It is probable that nonconsensual experiments
are conducted by highly classified cold war government bureaucracies to develop
electromagnetic weapons and are similar to the atomic bomb Manhattan Project.
The classified abuses such as radiation experiments are only now coming to
light, fifty years later.
From the government's viewpoint, illegal cold war experiments on U.S. citizens
has been the solution. In order to win an electromagnetic arms race, the
effects of the weapons on the human body must be studied on human subjects.
If there is an electromagnetic arms race, the U.S. would have to test the
fundamental knowledge of how the brain and nervous system works for military
purposes. Just as in radiation experiments, there would be baseline studies,
fundamental stress experiments to find out how to apply electromagnetic
technology to make the soldier a superior fighting machine and basic
psychological warfare experiments on how to control the enemy, break
personalities and scientifically demoralize the enemy.

Universal behavior: Scientists rationalize inhumane
experimentation and show no remorse
George Annas stated the issue well in the Boston Globe, Nov. 27, 1996 Pg.
A13. As many as 45% of German physicians joined the National Socialist Party,
according to the JAMA, Journal of the American Medical Association accounts.
He continues, Nazi physicians rallied to see themselves as physicians first
with a calling and an ethic dedicated to healing and caring for the welfare
of human beings, Instead they were seduced by power and ideology to view
the state as the ‘patient’ and to see the extermination of an entire
people as ‘treatment’ for the state’s health. The fact
that we are not Nazis, the author added, does not mean we are immune from
seduction by social, political, or economic organizations that seek to corrupt
medicine for their own agendas.
Aviation experiments, such as atmospheric pressure effects on pilots, were
conducted by the Nazis in the concentration camps. Since the 1950s, when
the first satellite was launched by the Russians, space has been the new
frontier. Based on victim testimony and applying the opinions of ethicists
such as Jonathan Moreno and George Annas, author of "Nazi Doctors and the
Nuremberg Code", illegal, classified human experiments to study the effects
of space on man would be the official, classified policy of the U.S. government,
just as radiation experiments were.
Annas stated in his book that not one of the Nazi doctors on trial at Nuremberg
showed any remorse, forgiveness or regret. Eileen Welsome stated in
her 1999 book, "The Plutonium Files"", the same conclusion about the radiation
doctors. They have not admitted guilt, wrongdoing or immoral
behavior. Top scientists knew radiation experiments were unethical
but they proceeded nonetheless. For example, the article by Geoffrey Sea,
"The Radiation Story No One Would Touch", Columbia Journalism Review, March/April
1994 quoted a 1950 memo to the director of the Atomic Energy Commission,
Shields Warren from Dr. Joseph Hamilton of UC Berkeley. The memo discussed
the problems of experiments that had "a little of ‘the Buchenwald
touch’ and that chimpanzees rather than humans should be used for
experiments of radiation effects on cognitive functions.
The mentality involved in illegal experimentation is clear and hopefully
the legal system will take note for future trials involving nonconsensual
experimentation. This is an excerpt from "The Plutonium Files" page 479and
471.
Even though President Clinton, Energy Secretary Hazel O’Leary, and the
Advisory committee had publicly acknowledged that many of the experiments
were unethical, many scientists couldn’t accept the idea that they or
their peers had committed any wrongs. They maintained their belief that the
ends they had pursued justified the means they used, expressed little
or no remorse for the experimental subjects, and continued to bash
O’Leary and the media for blowing the controversy out of proportion.
Page 471. John Nuckolls, the former director of Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory who was also summoned to Washington, said he was taken aback by
the way O’Leary had conducted the meeting. "And I was most startled
when she invoked her grandmother in response to some of the arguments for
why the tests needed to be done, saying she couldn’t convince her
grandmother of that. This was THE memorable remark of the meeting. I think
I would have felt more comfortable if the issue had been addressed on its
merits for the national security of the United States and not for what she,
with her lack of understanding and appreciation, could explain to her
grandmother. So she suddenly introduced this way of thinking about the
problem-can we convince the non-technically trained and oriented person of
the validity of these requirements. And I would say I was astonished when
she did that."
This radiation victim’s comment illustrates the deep emotions surrounding
the crime of illegal experimentation. As reported in the Sacramento Bee Oct.
16, 1999 article; " A federal jury Friday ordered Massachusetts General Hospital
and a retired neurosurgeon to pay $8 million in damages to the families of
two brain tumor patients who died 38 years ago from experimental nuclear
treatments. .Wiping away tears after the jury awarded her $2.5 million, Evelyn
Heinrich of Westwood, whose husband George,35, died from the treatments in
1961, said, "I have absolutely felt that the passage of time has not diminished
these crimes, not for one minute. Human experimentation, what could
be worse?"
Victims have reported that radiation scientists have conducted mind control
experiments also. Dr. Sweet was accused of mind control experiments in a
court case filed on behalf of Leonard Kille, an engineer who was implanted
with electrodes. Dr. Sweet is the retired neurosurgeon mentioned in the 1999
article above. There has also been articles on Sweet’s research of violence
and prediction and his collaboration with CIA’s L.J. West. (See Cahra
website, Human rights article).
Here is a description of an unethical Russian experiment for space exploration.
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists May/June 1994 Vol. 50 Issue 3 page 16
"Cosmonauts Number Zero, After 20 years, the Soviet space program’s
human guinea pigs tell their story. by Nin Chugunova. "In 1960 to late
1970s, there was a secret group called "Cosmonauts Number Zero" .recruited
human subjects in space research. The Institute of Medical Biological Problems
"collected data on new technologies, data from different work modes, and
of course, data on human endurance." One participant described one
experiment. "Before the heart probe they gave me some substance that paralyzes
all the muscles while you remain conscious. The psychological shock was so
intense that it took me four months to recuperate. The procedure itself took
four hours. I would lose consciousness, then wake up and think, this torture
is still going on. I remember it with horror. It’s horrible, horrible.
" Across all nationalities, experiment victims are abused and the
scientists display inhumane disregard for what they have done.

1994 U.S. illegal experiments in other countries
The April 29, 1998 London Times carried a front page article by Andrew Glasse
in Oslo entitled "Experiments on patients alleged" The report continued,
"American and Norwegian hospitals were involved in sterilization experiments
on mentally retarded people using radiation in an echo of the Nazi era. Most
of the work was done during the Cold War but some continued until 1994, according
to the Oslo daily Daglbladet. "With chilling echoes of the Nazi era, the
Americans and Norwegians were intent upon assessing the effects of radiation
on different parts of the body and apparently had no qualms about the use
of subjects who were ‘easy to deal with’. according to Fredrik
Mellbye, 81, who revealed the shocking details of the project. He is a former
colleague of the then director of Norway’s health services. .Mr.
Meilby said the Norwegian experiments were carried out with the co-operation
of Americans ‘at the highest level’ and that Norwegian doctors
were encouraged to seek US financial support. .public investigations in America
have revealed that authorities there financed about 4,000 such experiments
on humans between 1944 and 1994. "
This could be analogized to the next major weapon after the atomic bomb,
electromagnetic weapons, as victims are coming forward internationally with
the same set of symptoms.

How illegal experiments can happen now
The government will never inform the public about nonconsensual experiments.
There would be too much abuse to admit to, too many court cases to settle
and plausible denial at the top levels of government. According to the 1990s
government Radiation Advisory Report, this is how radiation experiments were
conducted, (See "Plutonium Files" by Eileen Welsome, 1999).
Given the many victims reporting the same cluster of medical symptoms over
fifty years and the history of secret government experiments, it is highly
likely that there were and are electromagnetic technology nonconsensual human
experiments. In addition, national security regarding electromagnetic
technologies today is comparable to cold war security surrounding the atomic
bomb. A 1997 US News and World Report article on ‘Wonder Weapons’,
stated: "And for a good 40 years the U.S. military has quietly been
pursuing [nonlethal electromagnetic] weapons of this sort. Much of this work
is still secret," Louis Slesin, a trade publisher for the electromagnetic
industry further stated, "People [in the military] go silent on this issue
more than any other issue. People just do not want to talk about
this."
As a result of the national security laws, government officials officially
lie and the public will have to figure out what is going on without a trust
in what the government says on the issue. But evidence in support of ongoing
nonconsensual electromagnetic experimentation is available to those who
investigate. Dr. Robert O. Becker, two time Nobel prize nominee, scientist
and researcher of electromagnetic radiation effects on the body and author
of Body Electric, summarized, "The government has never disproved the
psychological effects of electromagnetic radiation." Becker
quote from CNN news broadcast, Special Assignment, Nov.-1985, by Chuck DeCaro,
"Is there an RF Gap Weapons of War". For a 55$ copy of this tape call
CNN at 404 827 2712 and ask for R2501 #13, R2747 #33, R2501 #15,
R2501-#17 This is an excellent tape featuring Dr. Ross Adey, Dr. Becker,
the Russian Lida machine, Dr. Rauscher, Dr. Bise, Dr. Jose Delgado, Tom Bearden
and more. It runs about 20 minutes.
Here is an answer to the reasoning "This could never happen." People are
capable of unethical behavior, especially if there is no accountability.
There are no checks and balances under the very powerful national security
law. This is the pattern for radiation experiments and now electromagnetic
weapon nonconsensual experimentation. "The U.S. government would never experiment
on U.S. citizens today." This is a typical reply to nonconsensual experimentation
victims. But by examining the evidence, the question becomes, "Why would
the U.S. government NOT experiment on U.S. citizens today?"
There is an answer that isn’t clear at first glance but by examining
Stanley Milgram’s experiments in 1974 on the willingness of individuals
to follow orders that called for administering electric shocks to others,
it becomes clearer. This famous experiment was recently quoted in a book
for a graduate level government class, entitled The Dynamics of American
Politics, Approaches & Interpretations, edited by Lawrence C. Dodd and
Calvin Jillson, 1994, Westview Press, page 292. It discussed narrow cognition
and the established evidence for the idea that "the moral agency of humankind
is substantially conditioned by narrow cognition(March and Simon,1958)" or
by "the tendency to identify with others in one’s immediate orbit of
contacts and activities". This has implications for unethical experimentation
on another human being. The horrendous radiation experiments by the U.S.
government, the Nazi and the Japanese medical experiments, fit Milgram’s
narrow cognition model. It means that your neighbor or the person on
the street has the capacity to torture and this is not in some distant foreign
communist country as the cold war mentality has suggested. Please
refer to Cahra website, human rights article for documentation on who and
why people torture other people. It is not as uncommon as most believe.

Unregulated, unethical corporate experimentation
today
A Sacramento Bee June 7, 2000 p A newspaper article entitled, "EPA rejects
human experiments to set pesticide limits", stated
"Since the 1960s, chemical companies have quietly submitted to the EPA scores
of studies in which humans were knowingly exposed to pesticides. Questions
over the ethics of such tests returned to the spotlight two years ago when
the Environmental Working Group, a Washington-based advocacy organization,
reported a surge in human experiments in Britain in the 1990s.
The researchers, working mainly for U.S. companies, paid youthful volunteers
about $600 each to ingest small amounts of pesticides over several weeks,
according to documents obtained by the environmental group. Last April, a
similar study was conducted on student volunteers in Lincoln, Neb., by pesticide
manufacturer Dow Agrosciences Ltd. Public outcry over such experiments let
to the creation of the special EPA advisory committee on human experiments
in July 1998. But instead of offering ethical guidance on the issue,
the panel quickly bogged down into bitter and sometimes public disagreement
over whether human tests could ever be ethically acceptable."

Example: [London] Times Article - Allies' Nazi-style
tests
(London)
THE TIMES WEDNESDAY APRIL 29 1998
US and Norway
'used insane for
Nazi-style tests'
From Andrew Glasse in Oslo
American and Norwegian hospitals were involved in sterilisation experiments
on the mentally retarded using radiation over a 20-year period up to 1994.
Although most of the work was done during the Cold War, some experiments
continued until as late as four years ago, according to the Oslo daily
Dagbladet.
With chilling echoes of the Nazi era, the Americans and Norwegians were intent
upon assessing the effects of radiation on different parts of the body and
apparently had no qualms about the use of subjects who were "easy to deal
with," according to Fredrik Mellbye, 81, who revealed the shocking details
of the project. He is a former colleague of the then director of Norway's
health services.
Last night the State Department in Washington was seeking clarification of
the report from its embassy in Oslo.
"An unknown number of [.] had taken place. "I cannot remember that anyone
at any time put their foot down to stop what was happening," he said. "Both
authorities in the health services, psychiatrists and other doctors knew
what was going on."
The revelations follow admissions by the Swedish authorities last year that
4,500 mental patients were made to undergo lobotomies in an officially sanctioned
programme that lasted almost 20 years. Sweden has also admit- [.] sirable
racial characteristics or signs of 'inferiority,' poor eyesight or sexual
and social deviancy."
Last year the French launched an inquiry into reports that 15,000 Frenchwomen
had been illegally sterilised without their consent after being declared
unfit for motherhood. All were sterilised by state-run institutions.
Mr Mellbye said the Norwegian experiments were carried out with the co-operation
of Americans "at the highest level" and that Norwegian doctors were encouraged
to seek US financial support.
Dagbladet said public investigations in America have revealed that
authorities there financed about 4,000 such experiments on humans between
1944 and 1994.
After Norway was liberated from Nazi occupation in 1945, it was eager for
US military and economic assistance. When the Soviet Union, which shared

Chapter 5. 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 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 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.

Chapter 6. Victims have problems with
bureaucracies
Congress, the judicial system , the executive branch, human rights
groups: band aid help but no solution
Understanding how the government and international human rights community
operate. An example: "Declining Congressional Behavior of Congressional
Intelligence Committees in the 1970s and the 1990s"
Please note: This section is a 1996 ‘A’ college
paper. The democratic congressional system does not work for illegal
experimentation. This lesson can be applied as well to other branches of
government and the international human rights community. Victims will have
to be resourceful and realize that the system is biased and unfair. I hope
that the next victim will not go through the time and expense that I did
to find this out.

Intelligence Committee behavior from the 1970s
to the 1990s: a decline
Congressional behavior can be analyzed by examining the congressional
intelligence committees in the 1970s and in the 1990s. The overall trends
of decentralization, the influence of money, iron triangles, (military, congress,
industry alliances) and the congressional bureaucracy will show that as in
many other congressional issues, the system is not meeting it’s goals.
This ongoing declining trend can be seen by looking at the history and
accomplishments of the intelligence committees during the last thirty years.
The CIA was labeled a rogue elephant during the 1970 congressional investigative
hearings and unfortunately is seen in the same light today. The CIA
has increased it’s power and has weakened democracy.
The intelligence committees are a special congressional case because of national
security and secrecy issues. Secrecy conflicts with democratic principles
and democracy has been the underdog in this balancing act. Congressional
intelligence committees are less accountable to U.S. citizens and more influenced
by the military industry complex and politics. There are few whistleblowers
and current laws do not encourage let alone protect them. Senator
Moynihan is one of the few trustees of national and democratic principles
who will stand up against the CIA. Unfortunately, he has had little
overall effect on the behavior of the CIA.
Corruption is rampant. For example, Congresswoman Barbara Boxer reported
that the National Security Act is used as a cover for scandals, paybacks
and overpayments by the military-industrial complex. By unnecessarily
classifying projects as black, there is accountability to no one. (Morrison,
David "Dancing in the Dark." National Journal. 4-11-87, page 868) The
congressional system itself is in need of change. For example,
congressional bureaucracy rewards those who find loopholes in the law. The
National Security Act was used to cover up the Iran Contra Affair and it’s
flagrant violations of the law by the Reagan administration and the CIA.
Punishment for these white collar crimes was lessened as President Bush pardoned
six of the accused Iran Contra players.
The 1990s political climate compared to the 1970s is perceived as more corrupt,
more bureaucratic, more secretive and less democratic. Political policymakers
such as the President and the Congress have to respond to the military industrial
complex in order to receive support and lessen opposition to their reelection
campaigns or proposed legislation. There are many other examples to support
this declining trend.

Intelligence committees of the 1970s
The CIA was formed by the National Security Act of 1947 and has been
independent of congressional oversight until the 1970s. It is critical
to note that illegal CIA behavior has been discovered by leaks in a majority
of the cases and not by monitoring functions of congress. The pattern then
is a public outcry followed by congressional investigations. An internal
CIA investigation called the "Family Jewels" was leaked in
1973 and behavior control LSD experiments and assassination plots conducted
by the CIA became public knowledge. The 1974 and 1977 hearings took place
and permanent intelligence committees were established for the first time.
It is a telling point that the intelligence committees were temporary or
select committees. This is an indication of the CIA’s influence to minimize
monitoring of the CIA by Congress. It was only later that the committees
became permanent.
The pattern since 1947 has been for congress to work on problems as they
arise and to take no logical initiative since there is no political reward
for confronting the CIA. An overall cold war philosophy has allowed abuses
and patterns to continue. The CIA began when the antagonistic relationship
with Russia developed into a cold war. An example of how Congress approaches
a problem is the Watergate scandal in 1972 in which CIA employees were caught
breaking into the Democratic party headquarters. There was a crisis and as
public outcry faded, congress implemented a watered down revision and enforcement
of the law.
Congressional committee leaders have had a major effect on the intelligence
community. The Church committee had a very positive effect. Senator Frank
Church was known for his ability to discipline members to keep secrets and
for his thorough investigative approach. The Boren committee was well managed
by Senator David Boren (D-OK) and he is responsible for implementing the
recommendations of the Church and Iran-Contra committees, a very significant
accomplishment. And there have been equally negative effects. In the House
of Representatives, House Speaker Tom Foley was responsible for putting politics
before efficiency and he chose several poorly qualified chairmen. (Smist,
Frank J. Jr. "Congress Oversees the United States Intelligence Community
Second Edition 1947-1994, U of Tennessee Press, 1994, page 307) The house
intelligence committees have not always worked well with the executive branch
or within the committee itself and politics have affected outcomes more often
than in the Senate. The house members have proven less dedicated and less
willing to spend time on unanimous consensus building as the Senate has
successfully done.

Ongoing problems of the intelligence committees
The intelligence agencies are not empowered to make foreign policy but to
carry out executive orders. There had been a long term covert policy from
1980 to 1992, in which the U.S. supported the Afgan rebels against the Soviets.
The executive branch political reasoning was that the Soviets were paying
a heavy price for their expansionistic policy (Smist, 327). But the World
Trade Center Bombing was a direct and unexpected outcome of this covert policy.
Arab militants associated with the Afghans were behind the bombing. Many
questions are raised by the use of intelligence agencies by the executive
branch, such as public unaccountability.
From 1947 to 1975, the CIA had an agreement with the president to shield
the president from responsibility for his covert action decisions. This is
known as "the doctrine of plausible deniability" and the CIA would take steps
to divert the trail of responsibility for covert actions from the President
to other sources. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger testified before the
Pike committee: "Every operation is personally approved by the
president." After this applied to every president since the CIA began
(Smist,196). This was a step towards putting the blame onto the President
and off of the CIA. The intelligence committees even had documentation to
prove Kissinger’s profound statement. But the intelligence committees
were never able to prove or charge a president in any crime. The doctrine
of plausible deniability was used to cover up illegal, unconstitutional activity
by the president. This is another example of a turning point in democracy
but the media missed it and the responsibility of the president for illegal
covert actions was not to be enforced.
Up until 1991, congressional intelligence committees followed the political
winds and at times would sidestep unpopular actions in order to please everyone
but unfortunately accomplish little. By putting forth the relatively harmless
proposal that most would accept, Congress monitored the CIA in a disproportionate
and ineffective way. The CIA was increasing it’s power and going unpunished
for it’s crimes. And the cold war was the perfect excuse for increasing
secrecy.

National security vs. democratic principles: the special
dilemma of intelligence committees
Kathryn S. Olmsted wrote a book about government secrecy after Watergate,
entitled "Challenging the Secret Government: The Post-Watergate Investigations
of the CIA and FBI, 1995, U North Carolina. She sees a relationship
between the investigative reporters deference to the CIA and congress. National
security concerns and the cold war are used as an excuse for letting the
CIA run rampant. The political climate favored the secrecy trend.
The National Security issues are conducted in closed congressional hearings
and are not reported to the public. And what is reported about the CIA to
the public is slanted and biased to favor the military-industrial complex
and it’s influence by money. It reflects a co-opted relationship of
the congressional committees and the CIA. These are glaring examples of CIA
unaccountability. It adds to public cynicism when the CIA is unaccountable
to the U.S. public. Eventually the U.S. public and democracy will pay the
price.
Recently, the CIA has stated that they have no files of radiation experiments
and involvement by the CIA even when other government agencies have memos
and documents to prove otherwise. (Radiation Advisory Committee. "Final Report:
Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments" GPO, 1995) And on
CSPAN’s Washington Journal, May 6, 1996, there was an interview with
Robert M. Gates, director of the CIA from 1991-3, on his new book, "From
the Shadows". He state that William Colby, director of the CIA in the 1970s
had to disclose to Congress the CIA family jewels list of abuses in congressional
hearings and if Colby refused, then it would have destroyed the CIA. Colby
was unpopular for his frank testimony and would not have been forthright
if he did not feel political pressure to reveal the information. There
was no law to impel Colby to tell the whole truth to the congressional committee
and no reliable way for the congressional committee to insure that he was
telling the truth.

Identifying the problems of the intelligence committees
A pitfall in managing oversight of the intelligence agencies is the lack
of verification of information. The intelligence committees do not know the
questions to ask because they may not know the covert actions that are
classified. And the CIA directors are under no pressure to reveal all information
since punishment is minimal for withholding information. It is not hard to
believe that there is much that the intelligence agencies are not revealing
that is illegal and going undetected.
There is currently no enforced or meaningful recourse for lying to congressional
committees or other related illegal acts. Oliver North admitted that he lied
to Congress. President Carter failed to notify Congress of the Iran hostage
attempt as directed by law. He did not trust the Congress not to leak this
information. And Congress is known for illegally leaking information. Senator
Moynihan is notorious as was Les Aspin for leaking classified information.
And information is leaked for political purposes. This unethical behavior
adds to the public’s perception of contempt for Congress. When combined
with the fact that there are few checks and balances to the National Security
Act, it becomes only a matter of time before abuse and corruption occur.
The unspoken congressional philosophy of bowing to the CIA and to sweeping
problems out of the view of the American public are deeply entrenched. The
U.S. public live a busy lifestyle and unless the problems of the CIA affect
them directly, their limited time and energy will not be spent on seemingly
remote problems. The CIA has many tools to keep their problems out of the
public eye. Therefore, many political tools and congressional maneuverings
can minimize illegal behavior. A good example of this is the Iran Contra
Affair. The law was revised so that the National Security Act could not be
an excuse for covering up a crime. This was a band aid remedy in the face
of a major crisis.

American and Congress are larger in size than ever before and cynicism,
detachment and alienation are indicators that the congressional system should
be improved. Since Watergate, the U.S. public have lost confidence and trust
in the U.S. government. With democratic minded leaders, more education of
the U.S. public could reverse some of the negative trends. The media has
been used in a positive way by the intelligence committees. CNN broadcast
the extensive hearing on the Robert Gates nomination for director of the
CIA and the public was informed about the operations of the CIA
There has been little influence by clientele groups on the intelligence
committees. There was no political muscle to exert and citizen groups such
as the Committee on Law and National Security, a branch of the American Bar
Association were ineffective in promoting civil liberties in any meaningful
way. This is a critical area to change.

Congressional intelligence committees in the
1990s
A new report out on the "Roles and Capabilities of the United States Intelligence
Community" discusses how to reform the intelligence agencies now that the
cold war is over. President Clinton appointed the Brown Commission and the
report was released on March 1, 1996. The mission of the CIA since 1947 has
been to collect and analyze intelligence for the NSC and the president. Suggested
changes have included merging the CIA and FBI and a form of this has been
recommended by the commission. After the bombing of the World Trade Center
in 1993, this became a more popular view. Now there is an Intelligence-Law
Enforcement Policy Board that combines the two agencies while keeping the
agency charters separate. The Board now meets twice a week.
Other areas of debate within the commission is whether the CIA should be
active in industrial espionage. The conclusion was not in favor of this.
The CIA has been reported to have spied on Japanese negotiators in the bilateral
auto talks. The CIA has violated many laws since 1947 and with little punishment,
it is not surprising that they continue to do so.
In 1995, President Clinton also signed a classified order which outlined
the intelligence community and it’s goals. The users of CIA data outlined
what they want the CIA to provide them. This is another example of the minimal
amount of information available to the public and lack of monitoring or
uninvolved third party to ensure that the U.S. intelligence agency spends
tax dollars in legal and economically sound ways. There are political
repercussions for the congressman who rocks the boat. It can be expected
that this will continue.
Overall, new laws and legislation have not put the power in the hands of
the majority but in the hands of the powerful and rich. These trends have
continued for the last thirty years and a mechanism for correcting these
trends is needed.
Congress will likely continue to have a relatively minimal role with the
CIA. The bureaucracy will continue to reward corruption. Money and politics
continues to negatively influence the behavior of congress. And in part,
by shrewd political gameplaying, the CIA is stronger today than in the past.
Congress in the 1970s was new. Now it is established and should have improved.
It would be expected to have a better record of carrying out it’s
congressional duties. The intelligence committees are more methodical and
conduct appropriations tasks and uses the best congressional power, the power
of the purse, over the CIA. There is more oversight and accountability by
Congress but the corruption of the overburdened political process and U.S.
public cynicism and apathy have outweighed it’s progress. Overall, the
performance of the congressional intelligence committees has declined.
Unbiased oversight, more accountability and national security vs. democracy
issues need to be addressed. These should be top priorities. The congressional
system has failed to correct these major problems and this is another indication
of declining congressional behavior from the 1970s to the 1990s. Why has
a major scandal, the Iran Contra Affair happened after the 1970s committee
investigations into similar presidential and CIA abuses of power and illegal
activities? Inadequate safeguards failed and this is another indication that
the intelligence committees are not effectively performing their duties.
And as a closing and telling example of the continuing trends, congressional
and presidential committees are discussing major reforms of the CIA now that
the cold war is over. The CIA is promising that they are reforming but the
U.S. public should at least understand the political game.

The Executive branch: why there is a negative response
In the 1994 book, "The Semi-Sovereign Presidency Capitol Hill insider Charles
Tiefer, acting general counsel to the U.S. House of Representatives, wrote
about how President George Bush circumvented Congress and used National
Security Directives to create law and obscure the facts from the
public. Page 24 describes in detail this development of new national
security powers in the executive branch. This is how the democratic system
has worked in reality and in developing a strategy to stop nonconsensual
experimentation, victims must account for it or waste their limited resources.
Electromagnetic weapons are a national security issue and it is likely that
directives would govern policy on their use.
The [National Security Act of ]1947 created the National Security Council,
consisting of the president and vice president and certain Cabinet members,
with one staffer, the executive secretary. .Occasionally, the NSC staff exercised
authority through a new species of presidential directive. These directives
were called National Security Council policy papers in the Truman and Eisenhower
administrations, National Security Action Memoranda in the Nixon and Ford
Administrations, and Presidential Directives in the Carter Administration.
These directives took on the perilous role of secret law: They authorized
action and specified the limits of the action, just as a public law or a
public executive order would. This Cold War history provided the
tools used by President Bush’s NSC to manage the courtship of Saddam
Hussein in 1989 and 1990 and to hold back congressional oversight of this
courtship in 1991 and 1992.
Here is one of many examples of lack of help at the executive level of
government. Sept. 3 1997 reply from ex-CIA director R. James Woolsey, "A
quick perusal of the material you sent reveals nothing with which I am familiar."
Woolsey was referring to the 1993 Jan 11-17, Defense News article on Russian
soldiers and electromagnetic signals used to increase their fighting capabilities
and similar articles, (see Cahra website). The counterargument of course
would be, why does an ex-CIA director NOT know about these important weapons?
Woolsey continued, in response to questions of allegations of U.S. mind control
experiments, "Conspiracy theorists always seem to me to forget that we have:
9a) a First Amendment, (b) two independent branches of the federal government
outside the executive, and (c) a federal system." The counterargument would
be that this did not help radiation victims.

How the legal system operates: political influence
at the Supreme Court level.
Former CIA officer during the Vietnam war, Frank Snepp wrote the 1999 book
"Irreparable Harm" and discussed the CIA’s law suits against him for
allegedly not getting pre approval for any articles, books or speeches that
deal with intelligence activities. His case went to the Supreme Court. Again,
politics determined the negative outcome of the case. Snepps wrote a well
documented chapter on how he found out after his Supreme court case that
politics at the Supreme Court level affected the outcome of his case. He
argued convincingly that Justice Powell used his influence on other Justices
to form a majority opinion, based on Powell’s personal political views
and not the facts of the case. Snepp wrote,
" Seventeen years after the Snepp ruling, I visited the library to search
these [Justice Marshall] for insights into how and why I’d been clobbered.
.Justice Brennan gave me permission to examine his own private records of
the case. Together with the Marshall files, they provided as complete an
insider’s perspective as I could have wished for. .Far from wanting
to see my case deep-sixed, he [Powell] hoped to convince his brethren to
take another look at it and to rule against me brutally. The proof of this
is to be found in a document he circulated among them six weeks later. Bearing
the title "Mr. Justice Powell Dissenting," it calls on the Court to take
up my appeal for the sole purpose of destroying me financially. .The effect
of this Sermon on the Mount was catalytic, .bringing five the number of justices
who thought my appeal worth hearing on the most prejudicial grounds possible.
.No one in the newly forged majority had bothered to examine the raw case
files.
On page 353, Snepp then described another revealing document by Justice Powell,
which may explain Powell’s crucial role in the court decision against
Snepp. Snepp raised the question of whether Powell was "so viscerally
antagonistic toward me [Snepp] and all I stood for that he couldn’t
possibly have voted any other way".
.I happened upon an extraordinary document he’d [Powell] written
for the United States Chamber of Commerce in 1971, the year before he’d
joined the courts. .this confidential memo titled "Attack on the American
Free Enterprise System," No thoughtful person can question that the
American economic system is under broad attack," he [Powell] remarked
.He named the culprits: "the Communists, New Leftists." Among his most
hated bugbears were Ralph Nader.and the ACLU.which Powell complained had
exploited the judicial system to advance its liberal agenda
"The national television networks should be monitored in the same way
that textbooks should be kept under constant surveillance," he [Powell]
said. [Snepp] concluded "to a man of these sensibilities, the Frank Snepp
case must have seemed the payback opportunity of a lifetime.

Human rights organizations will not touch this issue:
no political will
Joel Primack and Frank von Hippel wrote the 1974 book "Advice and Dissent,
Scientists in the Political Arena". No doubt, national security policy comes
before human rights and this is the harsh reality often overlooked by victims.
Politics play a major role in the science community area also. Page 262 described
the Federation of American Scientists (FAS). Public organization officials
and government officials overlap.
The FAS had been born in the post-war scientists’ campaign for the
assignment of responsibility for atomic energy to an agency under civilian
control.) In the late 1960s at about the same time a substantial number of
high-level government science advisors began to move outside government and
work through the FAS-partly in order to bring before Congress the ABM debate.
.and by 1972 a former head of the elite Jason group of Defense Department
consultants, Marvin Goldberger, had succeeded former Director of Defense
research and Engineering Herbert York in the (unsalaried) FAS chairmanship.
.(In 1973, Jason shifted its affiliation to the Sanford Research
Institute, another think-tank largely supported by the Defense
Department.) .The AEC, NSF, and Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare (HEW) all devote several hundred million dollars annually toward
sponsorship of research in universities and federal laboratories,
.PSAC (President’s Science Advisory Committee) members also supervised
a number of scientific panels on specialized topics, consisting in all of
several hundred scientists. was to provide independent advice on technological
issues to the President .advice which could serve to check and counterbalance
the sometimes self-serving recommendations sent to the White House by the
executive-branch agencies.
Dr. John Pike of the Federation of American scientists replied to a
victim’s request for help in an email dated Aug. 1998 and 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

Chapter 7. Electromagnetic technologies
and national politics
The Cold War is over: What will the U.S. government do?
By examining a few of the many articles on nonlethal technologies, one can
see the outlook of the military and government and how the ‘crazy’
claims of victims correlate with ideas such as the new ‘war on
terrorism’ and the ‘war on crime’. The military has
found another campaign to sell their high technology to the US
public.
The experiments described by victims fit the goal of governments to
control and predict behavior. By conducting baseline studies, the
breaking point of different personality types can be predicted. And there
is a long history of psychological experimentation Just two examples is Pavlov
who discovered a fixed number of personality types of dogs to B.F Skinner
and his "control the environment and create the man," i.e. his behaviorism
model of human behavior.
From the article, "The Soft-Kill Fallacy, Bulletin of Atomic Scientist,
Sept/Oct94, p40, Steven Aftergood describes the origin of the military’s
public relations program to introduce non-lethal weapons to the public in
the 1990s. "The concept of non-lethal weapons is not new; the term
appears in heavily censored CIA documents dating from the 1960s."
This supports the chronology of victim’s claims which began as early
as 1955.
The 1978 book The National Academy of Sciences by Cochrane echoed what others
have observed; Page 343, "By December 1937, it was becoming clear that
Germany, Italy, and Russia were using the Spanish Civil War for the field
testing of modern weapons." The Americans used Viet Nam to test new
electronic weapons and this is a good research lead. Evidence of the use
of electromagnetic technologies has been found in the Vietnam war and the
Gulf war so far, (see Cahra website and progress section below.)
It is difficult to predict government policy, but it is likely that the
government believes that the formidable intelligence tool of reading
people’s thoughts, communicating directly with the brain, controlling
every nerve in the body and discovering how the brain works for military
purposes is too powerful a weapon to declassify. It’s
importance has been repeatedly compared to the atomic bomb by many experts
since the 1950s See previous citations. The United States, it would seem,
is declassifying non-lethal weapons because technology advances demand that
they do so. This could be one of many reason why there has been so much talk
of domestic tools to fight terrorism and nonlethal weapons to be used for
peace-keeping purposes. Some of the rest of the world is catching up but
the US has a major lead in technology.
A fifty year old cold war bureaucracy is controlling the use of this technology
and no one person is deciding the policy on its use. U.S. Mind control technology
was developed because the Russians were developing it too or vica versa.
The exact facts are classified. But comparisons to the cold war mentality
can help in the search for evidence and documentation. Here is an example
of an unclassified abuse of power at the top levels of government, a system
in which the democratic checks and balances are not working. The Iran Contra
Affair was approved at the highest level, the presidency. As reported in
Iran-Contra, The Final Report by Lawrence Walsh, Independent Council, 1994,
p. 201, "As CIA director, Casey and President Reagan shared similar
world views, at the center of which was their determination to roll back
communism and bring about the collapse of the Soviet Union." What
is worrisome is the unaccountability of billions of dollars in black budgets
and groups of people in government who are breaking the laws, such as in
the Iran Contra Affair. Even more disturbing, as reported in Iran-Contra,
p. 526, is that it was not "a "cabal of zealots" on the National Security
Council staff, as the congressional select committees concluded in their
majority report. Instead, it was the product of two foreign policy
directives by President Reagan which skirted the law and which were executed
by the NSC staff with the knowledge and support of high officials in the
CIA, State and Defense departments. "
Similarly, the possibility of abuse of electromagnetic and neurological weapons
is enormous. It is proving more difficult to keep mind control a secret forever,
after fifty years of the development of behavior control weapons and since
the technology is being tested covertly by so many people, on so many people,
. The control of this technology is and will be played out by the major powers
of the world. Unlike the case of biological weapons, third world countries
cannot develop this weapon and are vulnerable and powerless in the face of
this technology.

Corporate control of electromagnetic technology
Like the atomic bomb, mind control technology is or will end up in the corporate
sector but with much governmental control. It most certainly is controlled
internationally. The level of technology needed to develop this technology
is available in a limited number of countries with the requirements to
manufacture it but money can change this factor. This is important because
it creates a direction for victims to further research.
Once the technological basis of mind control are deduced, it may be productive
to investigate arms and technology export/ import reports for further evidence.
A Los Angeles Times 6-7-98 A1 article stated that as a result of the DOD
slashing weapon purchases by more than half, the arms maker industry turned
to foreign markets as part of a strategy that also included mergers and
diversification into some unlikely lines of business. "Lockheed Martin Corp.,
for example runs welfare offices in Florida and Texas." It is not difficult
to figure out how the connections between government and corporations are
overlapping. This is clearly a global issue.
Oak Ridge National Lab, which is operated by Lockheed Martin Energy Research
Corp for the US Department of Energy reported the following in an abstract
entitled "Virtual Human". A computational model of the human is being developed
to evaluate nonlethal technologies. Science & Engineering Associates,
Inc. have a website at
http://www.seabase.com/engineer.htm [now http://www.scieng.com/] with the following
statements. "We also provide support of multiple government agencies for
laser countermeasures, spectroscopic sensors and systems, high power microwave,
electromagnetic environmental effects and less than lethal weapons
technologies." Again, there is significant proof of the widespread
corporate, military overlap in the development and distribution of
electromagnetic technology. And the top arms makers such as Textron, Lockheed
Martin and General Electric make significant political contributions to influence
arms policy.
There are companies like E Systems, a corporation which develops classified
electronic surveillance technology for the US government and hires many
ex-intelligence agency personnel (Washington Post, 10-24-94, A1). Competition
is increasing and E Systems want to enlarge their market. Loyalty to the
United States takes a second seat to economic concerns. The program, 60 Minutes
aired an expose on this decades-old corporation which hires ex-intelligence
agency employees. "IBM subsidiary admits illegal exports to Russia" stated
the 8-1-98 Sacramento Bee newspaper article.
There are again many examples of the motivation of money rather than patriotism.
"Spy Director Has Ties to Firm" 10-23-95, Spotlight newspaper, p14. "While
on the faculty at MIT, Deutch apparently spent more time serving on the boards
of big corporations than in teaching or research," says a long-time Senate
oversight investigator. .In 1988-91, just before Deutch became deputy secretary
of defense, he drew hundreds of thousands of dollars as a board member of
Scientific Applications International, (SAIC), a major California defense
technology supplier. Now SAIC is under federal criminal investigation for
allegedly selling the US Air Force defective electronic cockpit instrument
designed for the F-15 jet fighter." There are many corporations and leads
to investigate.
One more example is the 12-30-98 Washington Post front page article on retiring
Air Force Lt. General Leonard Perroots who spent three year as DIA director
and is now President of the company Vector Microwave Research Corporation.
"Vector was a leading entrepreneur in a classified or ‘black’
specialty with high stakes and few rules: covertly acquiring foreign missiles,
radar, artillery and other weapons for U.S. intelligence agencies."
Federal agents are investigating the company for illegalities. Perroots has
made public comments on mind control technologies.

Military cooperation with civilian law enforcement
agencies: bureaucratic entanglement
An example of the military, civilian cooperation is the memorandum of
understanding on ‘Operations Other than War’ between Deputy Secretary
of Defense, John Deutch and Attorney General Janet Reno. ".The agencies
agreed to joint development of "advanced technologies and systems" that can
be applied to both military operations and civilian law enforcement.(
this memorandum gave rise to the program now managed in large part by the
Advanced Research Projects Agency.) This is an alliance that will expedite
the entanglement of the military in domestic law enforcement." This article
appeared in The Progressive, Jan. 1996 p22.
And another of the many examples, "FBI Gives Anti-Terrorist Aid for Local
Agencies, New department to help train for domestic attacks". This 10-17-98,San
Francisco Chronicle article discussed the new National Domestic Preparedness
Office and Janet Reno is quoted as saying, "State and local governments (will
be) a full partner in the planning effort." The overlapping jurisdictions
are occurring more often.

No political will to declassify electromagnetic
mind control technology
Those with the power have too much to lose to expose this technology to the
public. There is an industry that has built up around this technology for
over 50 years. Here are three examples. The San Francisco Chronicle on 8-28-98
p 21A headline reads "Livermore Lab to Join FBI in Fight on Terrorism.
From nuclear research, Livermore is expanding in order to survive
financially. Now they will work on international and domestic terrorism
anti-crime technology. FBI director Louis Freeh has stated "the FBI
potentially could be the most dangerous institutions in the United States"
if its "awesome powers" are not held in check.(Washington Post National Weekly
Edition Aug. 11, 1997). U.S. News and World Report July 7, 1997 reported
the following in an article on "Wonder Weapons". "Louis Slesin, editor of
the trade journal Microwave News stated "That’s because the human
body is essentially an electrochemical system, and devices
that disrupt the electrical impulses of the nervous system can affect behavior
and body functions. But these programs-particularly those involving antipersonnel
research-are so well guarded that details are scarce." "People [in the military]
go silent on this issue," says Slesin, "more than any other issue. People
just do not want to talk about this."
The money to keep the electromagnetic programs going after the cold war may
be found in war on drug and anti-terrorism programs. Here is a good example.
Star-ledger, 4-26-90 Washington Post wire service page 5 reported that
the " Air Force has put into service a costly new radar and have plans
for radar systems in Alaska, the West coast and North Dakota to help impede
drug trafficking flights. The radar’s high-powered radio energy bounce
off the ionosphere and scoop up billion of "return" signals at massive antenna
farms on the northern coast of Maine. An array of computers "surveys the
myriad returns to detect aircraft at extraordinary distances. The Air Force
budget cuts forced the transfer of the program to the Pentagon’s drug
interdiction budget. "
In fact, this type of array could track people instead of planes, again,
it is a physics problem to pick up the unique signals from each human. In
Genesis Vol8 No. 6, Dr. Richard Clark of Flinders University of South Australia
wrote that each person’s brainwave is unique to that individual, like
a finger print.
Mind control technology would be a business decision and distributed throughout
the federal bureaucracy today. According to the GAO/NSIAD-90-07BR page 8,
"Section 6163 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 is based on a study
performed by the Defense Science Board in 1987 to examine the use of innovative
technologies for the detection and neutralization of illegal drugs and terrorist
weapons." The DOD, CIA, NSA and National Laboratories are coordinating
their research and technologies which include physical/electronic surveillance
and radar to be used to curb drug abuse. This program may be a good program
but much of it is classified and there is no public accountability. After
the cold war, the need for funding is diverted to programs such as the drug
war and terrorism. Again, the bureaucracy is large and involved huge sums
of money and it can be seen how individual rights can be rationalized away
for the greater cause.
If one examines the evidence and similarities to the accounts, the
electromagnetic involuntary experimentation is a very systematic program
based on principles of torture, psychological warfare and aviation technology
which now includes space exploration. Radiation experiments have been replaced
with controlling the body and mind remotely and its applications to space
research. It is a weapons development program and the technology is
designed to achieve the politically correct objective of controlling the
enemy rather than the unpopular objective of death. Military planners
learned the Vietnam lesson well. The U.S. public does not consider war deaths
lightly and the political costs are tremendous. Therefore to keep the military
in a good light, the policy is one of promoting a perception of a deathless
war and to avoid the political costs of confrontations. Note the examples
of President Johnson’s resignation over the Viet Nam War and the Iran
Hostage failed rescue attempt during Carter’s administration and
Carter’s subsequent low standing in the opinion polls. The effect on
presidential politics is clear.

Secrecy and billions of pentagon dollars
Here is an example of the problem with secrecy. "One immediate consequence
of the excessive secrecy is a wasteful duplication of effort. Justice Department
officials who surveyed some of the ‘black budget’ programs for
possible law enforcement applications found the same technologies being developed
in as many as six independent programs. "We’ve been startled at
the number of times we’ve run into this, says David Boyd of the National
Institute of Justice. The waste results from a lack of independent oversight
of non-lethal programs, which-like other highly classified ‘special
access’ or ‘black’ programs in defense and intelligence-operate
beyond the reach of the checks and balances that US citizens take for
granted." From Bulletin of Atomic Scientist, Sept/Oct94 p 43, entitled
The Soft-Kill fallacy by Steven Aftergood.
"Spy agency leader apologize" reported the New York Times News Service on
8-11-94. This article is an example of how secrecy works, the huge sums of
money spent on surveillance technology and the unaccountability by top government
officials for over 30 years. The NRO is a multi-billion dollar fleet of spy
satellites and a new NRO office was built with money concealed by breaking
it up into different accounts in its operating budget. This was normal, they
testified in a congressional hearing, because it was a covert operation.
The NRO was a state secret until 1992, classified more secret than
top secret. Jeffrey Harris is the director and Jimmy Hill, the deputy
director. Victims have traveled all over the world and are harassed wherever
they go. The level of technology supports the allegations by victims of
electromagnetic nonconsensual experimentation.
"CIA to probe files for radiation abuse", Boston Herald, Jan. 5 1994.
"Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists, a private
research group, said earlier he believed the CIA may have destroyed many
of the relevant documents and the full extent of radiation tests, many on
people who did not give their consent, may never be known." The article
continued, "A commission led by Vice President Nelson Rockefeller reported
in 1975 the CIA had conducted radiation tests, by implication on unsuspecting
subjects, as part of a much larger CIA program to study possible means of
controlling human behavior."
Here is an example of secrecy at top levels of the government and industry
in the field of electromagnetic technologies. A foia [freedom of information
act request] reply to the information below was unclassified rather than
declassified and concerned protection of harbors from attack in war.
"In 1950, long after the end of WWII, Dr. Zacharias accepted an invitation
for the U.S. Navy to be the director of a classified summer study called
Project Hartwell. The esteem held for Professor Zacharias and the recognition
of the value of this study was evident in the list of those who agreed to
participate. It included, among others, an outstanding radio and radar authority,
Dr. Harold T Friis, .supervisor at Bell Telephone Laboratories, and the following
persons, Dr. Jerome Wiesner, President, MIT, Dr. Edward E David, Jr. President
Nixon’s Science Adivsor, Dr. James B Frisk President Bell Telephone
Labs., and Dr. Ivan Getting President Aerospace Corp. Today many would
find it surprising that a classified study, aimed at developing new avenues
for further classified research, would have received such strong support
as these names indicate."
Here is an example of excessive secrecy in which the CIA admitting that it
knowingly lied to the White House and the Pentagon. This false information
"was crucial to Washington’s perceptions of Moscow in the last seven
years of the cold war, said members of the Senate and House intelligence
committees," The threats reported in the disinformation "contributed to the
Pentagon’s decision to spend billions of dollars on weapons systems
to combat threats that might have been illusions"(New York Times News Service,
11-1-95). Victims describe the technology as extremely sophisticated and
the many attempts to monitor, block and escape from the signals used have
failed. With billions of dollars available to the Pentagon for years and
with the documented unaccountability and the motivations to develop state
of the art weapons, victims who are enduring torture today deserve a thorough
investigation.
The article in Times May ?, 199? entitled "Cold War Secrecy Shrouds Nearly
6,000 U.S. Inventions" discusses patents and national security. "Robert
E. Garrett, director of the office that oversees secrecy orders at the Patent
and Trademark Office, acknowledged that the restrictions were unusual in
that they could block the publication of information developed entirely by
private individuals. The only comparable law is the one that prohibits people
from publishing information about building atomic weapons." It is
not hard to imagine a secrecy order covering electromagnetic mind control
weapons. The article continues, "Perhaps the most surprising shift is that
a growing proportion of the inventions placed under wraps are ones in which
the Government does not hold title to the patent. Some of these inventions
have been developed in part with government funds, but the companies that
obtain the patent holds all or part of the ownership interests. "John Preston,
head of licensing for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said that
his university had received several secrecy orders over the years but that
almost all had stemmed from inventions at the Linclon Laboratory, which MIT
operates under contract for the Federal Government."
Michael Aaron Dennis, Cornell University, wrote the 1994 Isis article entitled
"Our First Line of Defense, Two University Laboratories in the Postwar American
State. He wrote about the MIT I-Lab or Instrumentation Lab and Charles Stark
Draper, director. Dennis stated, "Classification plays an important
role in the materials presented in this essay. Like so much else at each
of these laboratories, much of the archives are inaccessible. Dennis
described Draper’s work, which " took place behind the laboratory’s
locked doors, [building an airplane inertial device]"
In response to a 1958 television interview with Draper and Eric Sevareid,
veteran CBS reporter in which Draper displayed a plane outfitted with
Draper’s inertial device, the air force issued this memo to his lab.
"To again reiterate AF [air force] policy on the matter of safeguarding
classified information the following should be brought to the attention of
all personnel: 1. The fact that articles and information will be reviewed
by this HQ and DOD [Department of Defense] does not relieve each individual
of his responsibility to safeguard classified information and further will
not serve as a bar in processing violations of security regulations." Dennis
stated, "What was visible on television remained unspeakable outside
the I-Lab."
Dennis concluded, "Yet, if classification obscures our view of the
military’s role in society, especially in laboratories, then it is also
through the classification system that the civilian and the military were
connected in postwar America in novel, and still largely unexamined, ways."
It is overclassification to keep the archives classified 30 years later.
A final example, Christophe Lecuyer, Stanford U, wrote the HSPS,23:1 (1992)
article "The making of a science based technological university: Karl Compton,
James Killian, and the reform of MIT, 1930-1957.On page 177:
MIT reluctantly agreed to carry out investigations of a classified nature.
For example, the RLE [Research Lab of Electronics], which did mainly open
research during the immediate postwar years, was asked to carry out large
classified programs such as "communications systems for both combat areas
and the zone of the interior" during the Korean war. More subtly, as Paul
Forman has shown, researchers had to comply with unwritten rules. They
were expected by such agencies as the ONR to practice self-censorship and
to publish only results that would not endanger national security."
There is a strong argument for revising the national security act. There
are numerous examples of abuse and a need for limits and a democratic process
of checks and balances imposed on the national security act.

Chapter 8. Electromagnetic technologies
and international politics
It is helpful to look further into the international control of electromagnetic
technology and mind control of victims, who are coming forward from the major
countries of the world such as Japan, Germany the U.S., South America, England,
Scotland, Australia, France, Taiwan, Bulgaria, Russia and more. What countries
have this technology? International diplomatic overtures involving
electromagnetic weapons include the 1977-1996 Russian proposals to ban "new
weapons of mass destruction using new technologies. The public theatrics
of the Moscow Embassy microwave bombardment from 1953 to at least 1988 and
the public broadcast of the Russian woodpecker signal broadcast in the 1970s,
( see previous Cahra website articles) were diplomatic war games. The diplomatic
protests (see Moscow Embassy section above) masked a bigger issue below the
surface.
It is clear that this is a diplomatic form of communication. It is not clear
to the general public when viewed as separate incidents rather than a fifty
year history. The USSR was most probably protesting U.S. mind control weapons.
Both the US and Russia officially deny that they have these weapons.
The fears about development of new weapons of mass destruction has
already been reported by all of the recent Soviet leaders and yet this has
been lost in the other major problems of the world. (see Cahra website,
International article.) One example; 1986, Jan.27. Pravda Editorial on
Gorbachev's Progamme of Nuclear Disarmament. BBC Summary of World Broadcasts.
Part 1 The USSR; A.International Affairs;1. general and Western Affairs;
SU/8167/A1/1. Lexis-Nexis.
".At this point it is appropriate to draw attention to the fact that the
Soviet
programme has been drawn up with due consideration for the fact that the
currently prevailing balance of forces in the world is to be maintained at
all states of its implementation, but at an ever lower level. No threat to
anyone's security will be created at any moment of its implementation."
.They include in particular beam, radio wave, and infrasonic and genetic
weapons which, in terms of their destructive potential, could be no less
dangerous than already existing weapons of mass destruction. .As
for the USA, which is the primary addressee of the Soviet proposals, a statement
by President R. Reagan described by the Western press as 'cautious and carefully
considered' has been disseminated there. Unfortunately, there has been nothing
more than that so far."
If Gorbachev is unable to generate a response from the world about
electromagnetic weapons, it is hard to imagine who would. A war or international
incident may expose this classified secret. The break up of the Soviet Union
was a world-shaking event but only approximately twenty Russian newspaper
articles reported Russian electromagnetic weapons articles. And only a few
of those made it into U.S. mainstream press as allegations and unsubstantiated
reports.
A 1993 Defense News article contained factual earth-shattering information
and even this was not reported in U.S. newspapers. (Jan11-17, 1993 titled,
"U.S. Explores Mind-Control Technology, U.S., Russia Hope to Safeguard
Mind-Control Techniques" by Barbara Opall. Defense News is a major defense
publication. See Cahra website for full article) At the least, the lack of
reaction by the world, reveals the political nature of electromagnetic weapons.
The lack of reaction indicates that mind control is tightly controlled with
classified treaties and negotiations behind diplomatic doors.
Since the break up of the Soviet Union, there has been a few articles on
mind control in U.S. publications. The FBI was interested in using mind control
on David Koresh, (see previous Cahra article) The public hardly reacted to
a short article on Koresh and the FBI in U.S. News and World Report, Newsweek
and Time magazine.
In the early 1990s, the U.S. mainstream newspapers and journals reported
on the Pentagon’s ‘new’ electromagnetic nonlethal weapons
program. The technology that has been classified for forty years was finally
declassified (see U.S. News and World Report 7-7-97, above). The break up
of the Soviet Union and lack of a fifty year enemy, created an opportunity
for declassifying the least important electromagnetic technology.
The whole picture of a classified new weapon more powerful than the bomb
has never been presented to the public in U.S. mainstream press. National
security issues in mainstream publications are controlled by the CIA, (see
Washington Post quote under National Security section above.) and the U.S.
control of electromagnetic weapons will not reach the mainstream press. In
addition, there will probably not be another significant event like the break
up of the Soviet Union in the near future and the technology will likely
continue to be developed out of the public eye.
In brief, Russia no doubt alerted the world in the above cited instances
about electromagnetic weapons. Most governments in the world must know of
this sophisticated technology, deny it officially and are working on obtaining
it or have it. The world distribution of the atomic bomb can be used to make
an educated guess as to what is happening under national security. Did Russia
or the U.S. give this technology to their allies? There are many unanswered
questions and much research that could be done. The public is in the dark
and the use of the technology is most likely being controlled by global
agreements and arms control detente’. Once this is public knowledge,
change can take place. The technology can be used to save lives. Human rights
abuses can stop. And the experience of the atomic bomb can be applied to
electromagnetic weapon technologies.

Not one person, even the most powerful, can stop it
It is doubtful that one person such as Gorbachev or President Clinton could
stop electromagnetic weapons programs. President Clinton or any president
would arguably not have the clout to face the intelligence agencies or the
Pentagon over such a deeply entrenched program involving careers and billions
of dollars.

Missed opportunity for one world government
After fifty years, mind control technology is in the hands of many, mainly
the intelligence agencies, the pentagon, defense corporations and scientific
research centers. The 1993 Defense News article cited above stated,
"Known as acoustic psycho-correction, the capability to control minds and
alter behavior of civilians and soldiers may soon be shared with U.S. military,
medical and political officials, according to U.S. and Russian sources.
.Therefore, the Russian authors have proposed a bilateral Center for
Psycho-technologies where U.S. and Russian authorities could monitor and
restrict the emerging capabilities."
The technology itself is so highly sophisticated that like the atomic bomb,
only industrialized countries could produce it. Mind control is here to stay.
It is only a matter of when it will be declassified and how? As Dr. Robert
Becker, the two time Nobel prize nominee said, it may be too late to stop
it.

Classified electromagnetic arms race is over: U.S. won
There are no major enemies of the United States. It is doubtful that
the many countries of the world could agree and coordinate efforts against
the United States. It would seem that the United States does and will have
world control. This weapon would make it possible. There are surely
third world countries who have had mind control technology tested and used
on them. This is a great area of research for an investigative reporter.
There is no public knowledge, except for claims by Saddam Hussein. of use
of mind control weapons to cause a heart attack and more. (See Cahra website,
human rights article). The CIA’s history confirms the U.S. policy of
‘policing the world’.
It is safe to predict that the next world war will be bloodless and silent.
There may be no battles. The silent third world war will be over without
a single bullet being fired.
Other countries would be less likely to cross the United States since the
weapon is silent, unprovable and more powerful than the bomb. And if other
countries tried to talk about U.S. mind control weapons, no doubt the U.S.
could silence them, as a warning to others in the know. Nobody will talk
about it because everyone has something to lose. Any victim will tell you,
that they would not wish this weapon upon anyone. So everyone keeps silent.
Only the USSR publicly protested with electromagnetic weapons against
the United States, since the 1950s up to the 1990s.
The ‘bomb’ or electromagnetic weapon has never been dropped
publicly like the atomic bomb at Hiroshima. Does China have mind control?
They have electromagnetic weapons, (see nonlethal weapons article, Cahra
website). Perhaps an incident with China may reveal this technology. Incidents,
like the break up of the Soviet Union, even that, did not affect mind control
international policy. It is unlikely that a future incident will reveal
electromagnetic mind control weapons, based on the Russian diplomatic protests
via the Moscow signal, etc.
Contents | Top
No political hot potato: world opinion does not
significantly influence U.S.
The U.S. is in an ideal position. The public does not know about the weapon.
If it is used there is no proof tying it to the U.S. and everyone knows not
to talk about it or they may be the next victim. One of the many rumors is
that Naval Admiral Boorda, who committed suicide, tried to reveal this technology
and became a victim. (see strategy section above).
The U.S. has nothing to lose, nothing to fear. There is everything to gain
in keeping this technology classified. A large bureaucracy supports and
perpetuates its growth. There are crimes to cover up. The weapons are powerful
intelligence tools which maintain U.S. superiority. Victims can count
on a continuing strong national security law in the United States.
Government documents describe control of space, rather than
a defensive strategy, for example. See Covert Action Quarterly, Number 68,
page 35. The nonconsensual experiment and intelligence programs would be
likely to expand. The U.S. is maintaining and broadening its global position
today.

The United State’s position in the human rights community: a
powerful force
In the World Court, one country can bring charges against another, but the
US is the superpower in the international arena and no country wants the
wrath of the US against them. In the UN, the US is the superpower with the
most clout, although this complicated relationship needs further investigation.
The US has the most relative wealth and power in the world and countries
are reluctant to speak out or criticize them in a meaningful or serious way.
The proposed International Criminal Court of Justice is opposed by the United
States and supported by most other countries. It may be an avenue for
international justice in the future.

Comparisons to the atomic bomb and biological weapons:
a probable pattern of development and use
It requires a large bureaucracy to run programs involving thousands of victims,
all over the United States and the world. Because many people are involved,
it will be less important to the US government to keep this classified during
the next 50 years. Russia and the US have this technology, it can be safely
assumed, see previous Cahra articles. And the US is no doubt trying to control
Russia’s use of the technology. There would also be classified treaties
to control its use. By looking at chemical, biological and nuclear weapons,
similarities can be drawn. Sacramento Bee 10-2-99 p. A28 stated that the
Pentagon created an agency to counter the growing threat of doomsday chemical,
biological and nuclear weapons with a budget of $1.9 billion
for 1999. At least 25 countries have, or are in the process of developing
these weapons, according to Defense Secretary William Cohen. The
classified electromagnetic weapons would most probably develop in a similar
way.
Controlling the brain for military purposes is a physics problem and eventually
other countries have or will figure out how to develop it. Like the atomic
bomb, electromagnetic weapons will probably be declassified and used for
beneficial purposes as well as for military use. Nuclear power and radioactive
treatments for cancer have been some of the side benefits of the development
of the atomic bomb It is a comforting fact that the atomic bomb has been
used in war only once. The technology to read people’s thoughts, like
the technology to make an atomic bomb will probably not be available to the
general public. It seems likely that mind control electromagnetic technology
will be used for military purposes and for applications to space and/or cyborg
or robotics type research such as visual systems, motor functions and the
development of classified devices.
An article in the New Yorker, by Richard Preston entitled "The
Bioweaponeers" 3-9-98 has many parallels to the mind control and
electromagnetic weapon technologies. The article describes how the second
man in control of biological weapons in Russia in charge of 2,000 scientists
and staff, Ken Alibek. With the breakup of the Soviet Union he was
part of a Diaspora of biologists to leave Russia because they had lost their
jobs. He stated that no one knows where they went, Libya? China?
Israel? He works with the CIA and his information is classified. But it has
been reported that the information is shocking. Again, with mind control
technology, there may be parallels worth examining.
Bill Patrick is one of only two or three scientists still alive and active
in the US with a technical understanding of bioweapons. He was a UN weapon
inspector in Iraq and the Iraqi intelligence people harassed him for his
work. He went to a Pentagon meeting on anthrax on the eve of the Gulf War
and concluding that "these people didn’t know what the hell they were
talking about." Again, the parallel to mind control is that the technology
use is being controlled by people with military interests and little practical
experience. Patrick and Alibek have consulted and are friends. The article
also mentions that President George Bush and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
were briefed on Passechnik’s revelations,( the first biowarfare defector
in 1989) and they put direct personal pressure on Mikhail Gorbachev to open
up the biowarfare facilities to a team of inspectors. Similarly, top
officials would know about mind control and electromagnetic technologies
and are controlling its use. Governments are not motivated to reveal
this information and until they are caught, victims must continue to build
their case and inform the public of the horrific nonconsensual experimentation
going on today. It would be helpful if victims can find the top scientists
in mind control technology.

Electromagnetic technology, like the atomic bomb, is
controlled by the government but has close ties with corporations and private
enterprise
The top scientists and their affiliations illustrate the government corporation
connections. Jeffrey T. Richelson’s article "The Wizards of Langley:
The CIA’s Directorate of Science and Technology, 1986, Intelligence
and National Security stated the following:
Even an 800-page history of the CIA, published in 1986, included only a few
references to the Directorate of Science and Technology. Yet the history
of the directorate is a key element in the history of both the CIA and the
entire intelligence community. .It has designed and operated key intelligence
satellite systems. It is also responsible for a number of scientific advances
which have been made available for medical and other purposes. .The earliest
suggestion that the CIA needed to make a concerted effort to harness science
and technology for intelligence purposes came from the Technological Capabilities
Panel (TCP), which had been established in July 1954 by President Dwight
D. Eisenhower, in response to concerns about US vulnerability to surprise
attack. Key members of the TCP were James R. Killian Jr. President of MIT
and Edwin H. Land, President of the Polaroid Corporation. Killian chaired
the TCP., while Land headed its Project Three, charged with examining ways
of enhancing the nation’s intelligence capabilities through technology.
.The winner of the CIA’s 1996 award for the agency’s top
scientist, John Craven, received the award for his work on three
projects,.microwave technology [for computers]. A second involved .using
laser beams for communication. The work presently done by ORS falls
in three main areas. The remaining research generally has a dual-use potential,
and is now frequently provided to other elements of the government or the
medical and scientific communities. .The Directorate of Science and
Technology was established because key presidential advisors felt it was
imperative that the CIA properly harness the powers of science and technology
for the acquisition of intelligence.
The 1978 book National Academy of Sciences The First Hundred Years 1863-1963
by Rexmond C. Cochrane lists the seventeen PSAC (President’s Science
Advisory Committee members under Killian. They were top scientists
of that time and it would be highly likely that the classified electromagnetic
technology would be developed under PSAC policy. Here are some of the seventeen
scientists and their affiliations. They may be important to this issue, Lloyd
V. Berkner, President Associated Universities, Inc.; Detlev W. Bronk, President
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, James H. Doolittle, VP Shell
Oil Co.; James B. Fisk, Executive VP Bell Telephone Laboratories; Caryl P.
Haskins, President Carnegie Institution of Washington; Edward M. Purcell,
Professor of Physics, Harvard; I.I. Rabi, Paul A. Weiss, head of developmental
biology, Rockefeller Institute; Jerome B. Wiesner, Director, Research Laboratory
of Electronics, MIT Herbert York, Chief Scientist, Advanced Research Projects
Agency, DOD Herbert Scoville, Jr., Assistant Director CIA.
The 1978 book Presidential Politics and Science Policy, by James E. Katz,
page 57 stated "Killian advised the Central Intelligence Agency and represented
Massachusetts Institute of Technology." Page 149? stated "PSAC was
given a broad mandate to evaluate and produce recommendations on weapons,
strategy, and space questions by the White House. Eisenhower charged
PSAC and especially Killian with identification and organization of the goals
of the space program." Science and government were interconnected from the
1950s on and may explain the alleged space research experiments, the overlap
of radiation and electromagnetic experiments, and the alleged government-defense
corp. connection to many of the victims.
Research was influenced by political connections. Here is one example, page
161 stated "During his [President Johnson] administration, programs
on heart ailments and strokes were accelerated because it was known that
Johnson had suffered related maladies.
Page 187 stated, "Both the use of research programs and scientific
advice had been used by previous presidents, yet this at least partially
reflects the White house attitude toward the utility of research: the political
payoff is more important than the actual substance of research."
The NIH, (National Institute of Health) has been involved in illegal LSD
and Tuskegee experiments and could have easily been involved with electromagnetic
experiments. the book continued, "The combination of personality factors
which had encouraged the rise of lavish NIH funding began disintegrating
with the death of Fogarty and .[President] Johnson was able to take advantage
.to reduce the lobby’s monolithic impact." Political power exerts pressure
on science advisory committee work and decisions.

International science: the same national government
and corporation scientists make international policy
William T. Golden designed the first Presidential Science Advisory organization
for President Truman in 1950. Golden wrote the 1993 book, "Science Advice
to the President" and stated on page 2, "The American conception of a science
and technology advisory organization to the highest level of government has
radiated to more than 50 countries, including all the major countries. The
establishment of the Carnegie Group of science and technology advisers and
ministers to the heads of governments of the G-7 countries (United States
of America, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan), Russia,
and the European Community, responsive to a proposal in Worldwide Science
and Technology Advice to the Highest Levels of Governments, has been a major
coordinating event.
The Carnegie Group, sponsored by the Carnegie Commission on Science, Technology,
and Government, first came together in February 1991, with D. Allan Bromley
(Science Adviser to President Bush) and Juriy Ossipyan (Science Adviser to
President Gorbachev) jointly chairing the initial meeting. .It has now held
five meetings semi-annually in different host countries,." Sheila E.
Widnal is on the commission and is Secretary of USAF and affiliated with
MIT while Walter A. Rosenblith, MIT, is a senior consultant. (mentioned in
section below).
This is an example of the network of scientists who work on defense issues
with the government, which has ties to the international level as seen above.
Golden listed the President’s Science Advisory Committee members and
their affiliations, which are representative of corporations, universities
and industry across the country. John M. Deutch, ex-CIA director was
a member in 1985-89 and is affiliated with MIT; Simon Ramo, co-founder of
TRW, Inc., one of the world’s largest technological corporations; Gordon
J.F. MacDonald, is Vice President and Chief Scientist of The MITRE
Corp. Golden is also author of the book "Worldwide Science and

A case study: The Moscow Signal, microwave zapping
of the U.S. Embassy
The following are excerpts from news accounts by Barton Reppert Associated
Press Writer, Washington AP, entitled "Looking at the Moscow Signal, the
Zapping of an Embassy 35 years later, The Mystery Lingers". This is
an excellent example of how the government handles national security and
electromagnetic weapons.
May 21, 1988. Thirty-five years after security officers first noticed that
the Soviets were bombarding the U.S. Embassy in Moscow with microwave radiation,
the U.S. government still has not determined conclusively -or is unwilling
to reveal-the purpose behind the beams. Among the possible reasons put forward
by experts: attempts by the Soviets to trigger eavesdropping devices, to
interfere with U.S. intelligence-gathering operations or to affect
the health, minds or behavior of Americans working in the embassy.
Low-power microwave signals "continue to be detected" at the embassy, according
to the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security.
.Over the years, several studies to investigate potential effects of the
Moscow radiation led to controversial results. In some cases, the projects
were terminated over the objections of researchers. The United States has
made a series of diplomatic protests to the Kremlin over the microwave situation,
beginning at least as early as the Glassboro summit in June 1967.
The Associated Press examined 5,000 pages of declassified documents from
the State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Pentagon under
the Freedom of Information Act and interviewed dozens of current and former
U.S. officials, scientific researchers, medical specialists and attorneys.
.Nevertheless, these key facts emerge:
.The U.S. government apparently has succeeded in fighting back lawsuits and
administrative claims totaling about $250 million brought by employees who
were exposed to the Moscow radiation or their dependents.
-Some American scientists and medical specialists investigating the problem
have been seriously concerned about a possible Soviet bloc lead in research
on the use of radio-frequency and microwave radiation for "mind control"
and other weapons applications.
-The declassified documents disclose that the bombardment of the Moscow embassy
drew expressions of serious concern in the mid-1970s from two CIA
directors-William E. Colby and George Bush.
May 22nd 1988
Health problems which have been reported among personnel working with
electromagnetic pulse equipment include an unusually high incidence of brain
tumors and liver diseases.
Donald A Myers, a CIA specialist on biological and health effects of non-ionizing
radiation, prepared a memorandum which said, "Dr. Herbert Pollack, a State
Department consulting physician, has found that several members of the embassy
display symptoms that are non-specific but have been reported frequently
in patients chronically exposed to non-ionizing radiation. Such symptoms
include headaches, inability to concentrate and fatigue, as well as physiological
effects including shifts in the ratios of various blood cells. "
Richard S. Cesaro, deputy director for advanced sensors at the Pentagon’s
Advanced Research Projects Agency, in an interview prior to his death two
years ago, contended that "in our experiments we did some remarkable
things. And there was no question in my mind that you can get into the brain
with microwaves. .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,"
Nicholas H. Steneck, a U of Michigan history professor and author of a book,
"The Microwave Debate," said[the State Department’s secret genetic testing
program carried out from 1966 to 1969 under the cover name of the "Moscow
Viral Study." ] the cytogenetic testing program "was set aside on the shoddiest
and shakiest of grounds. .If nothing else, on the basis of that you do a
follow-up study- you don’t just crank it down."
Government officials .say one of the biggest lessons learned from the microwave
problem was that it was a mistake to keep the radiation secret from most
employees until February 1976. [There followed] .a series of administrative
claims and lawsuits against the U.S. government by employees and dependents
who alleged that they has suffered health injuries because of exposure to
the Moscow beams. To help defend itself against such legal actions,
the State Department in 1976-78 funded a $1 million epidemiological study
of Moscow embassy personnel, carried out under contract by the Johns Hopkins
U School of Hygiene and Public Health.
Dr. Pollack, the State Department medical consultant, said that
‘’’without that Hopkins study, State would be sitting
in the soup, because there were about $250 million in tort actions on the
books. And every one of those has been withdrawn without a penny being
paid."
.The study released in Nov. 1978’, concluded that "no convincing evidence
was discovered that would directly implicate the exposure to microwave radiation
by the employees at the Moscow embassy in the causation of any adverse health
effects as of the time of this analysis."
[Several experts on non-ionizing radiation disagree such as ] Steneck,
who cited a variety of studies that have been done over the past few years
.finding significant effects at very low radiation power levels."
Public disclosure of the Moscow embassy problem in the mid-1970s spurred
a substantial increase of interest among U.S. scientists in the controversial
area of low-level microwave biological effects. "It had an enormous impact
on the microwave research field," Said Steneck, who spent six years studying
the field for his book.
For years, most American researchers had assumed that any significant biological
effects were thermal-caused by heating of body tissues. This viewpoint is
reflected in the safety limit of 5,000 microwatts per square centimeter set
in the current U.S. voluntary guideline adopted by the American National
Standards Institute.
The Soviet Union, however, has a much lower safety limit of only 10 microwatts,
stemming from concern with subtle behavioral and physiological changes as
well as subjective symptoms which Soviet researchers have reported with chronic
exposure at low power levels.
Over the past decade more U.S. scientists have started paying serious attention
to athermal effects, particularly effects on brain tissue of low-intensity
microwaves modulated at extremely low frequencies. Since the early 1980s,
however, federal government support for non-ionizing radiation bioeffects
research has declined markedly. W. Ross Adey, a leading researcher based
at the Veteran’s Administration Medical Center in Loma Linda, Calif.,
told a House subcommittee last Oct. 6 that current levels of government funding
-now about $7 million a year- are "disastrously low."
"There is reason to believe that this situation has arisen in part
through a well-organized activity on the part of major corporate entities
from the consumer and military electronic industries to discredit all research
into athermal biological and biomedical effects," Adey said.
Louis Slesin, editor of Microwave News, a newsletter covering the non-ionizing
radiation research field, said that "what is clear is that Soviet researchers
are extremely interested in the effects of this kind of radiation."
Feb. 12, 1976: Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger tells a news conference
that "this issue is a matter of great delicacy which has many
ramifications." He declines to go into detail.
Jan 4, 1977: A notice posted at the Moscow embassy discloses that about one-third
of individuals tested have shown abnormally high white blood cell counts.
It says the cause for this lymphocytosis condition is unknown.
The lessons from this article are clear. As discussed above and for in-depth
reading, see April 1979 a Senate committee print, made at the request of
Hon. Howard W. Cannon, Chairman Committee on Commerce, Science and
Transportation. The title is "Microwave Irradiation of the U.S. Embassy in
Moscow, Review of its History and Studies to Determine Whether or not related
Health Defects were experienced by Employees Assigned in the Period 1953-1977".

Chapter 9. Electromagnetic Technology
New articles on the technology
The following evidence supports the conclusion that classified technology
to read your thoughts, and much more, has been developed.
Here is an example of how many scientists know of this technology but don’t
talk about it. It clearly shows how the public could be unaware of the
development of this technology while many top officials ignore victims charges
of human rights abuses and illegalities. US News and World Report 7-7-97
reported: "Moreover, medical researchers worry that their work on such things
as the use of electromagnetic waves to stimulate hearing in the deaf or to
halt seizures in epileptics might be used to develop weaponry. In fact, the
military routinely has approached the National Institutes of Health for research
information. "DARPA {Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency} has
come to us every few years to see if there are ways to incapacitate the central
nervous system remotely," Dr. F. Terry Hambrecht, head of the Neural
Prosthesis Program at NIH, told US News. "But nothing has ever come of it,"
he said. "that is too science fiction and far-fetched." The counter argument,
of course is, why is Darpa, a smart, hi tech government agency wasting it’s
time by asking such a dumb question? Why are medical researchers worried
that their research might be used to develop weaponry as stated above?
Social and ethical issues have also changed the course of neuroscience research.
For example, the Sacramento Bee 2-22-99 p A-1 quoted Dr. Giulio Tononi, a
neurobiologist at The Neurosciences Institute in San Diego. "Ten years
ago, it was not appropriate for a scientist to talk about consciousness because
it was considered too elevated a topic that we really couldn’t address.
.Now it’s not taboo anymore." The issues of religion are deeply
embedded in most societies and ideas such as the scientific basis of man’s
world and the origin of man and the soul and questions of God have clashed
in Galileo’s time and today.
EEGs or brainwave have been studied since the 1920s. An excellent book, History
of Neuroscience in Autobiography Vol. I, edited by Larry R. Squire 1996,
is a good research tool for understanding the history of the parallel development
of classified mind control. Page 582 described the general acceptance of
consciousness as a biophysics problem. John Z. Young, a neuroscientist stated
"One example I quoted was the evidence of Libet et al. (1983) showing
that there are electrical activities in the brain half a second before a
person makes a conscious decision to move a finger. This clearly shows that
actions of the mind depend on the brain and that is absurd to consider oneself
as two separate entities." In the autobiography section on Theodore
H. Bullock, he wrote, "I was introduced to electroencephalograph (EEG) recording
and evoked potentials by watching Warren McCulloch,.(Please see previous
Cahra articles on McCulloch)." Bullock described world wide conferences in
the 1950s with the world class neurologists at the time. In describing
brainwaves, Bullock stated, "It’s a jungle in there- a fascinating
community of diverse species and interrelations-and, according to my intuition,
the greatest reservoir of new principles yet to be discovered." ".I believe
that these compound field potentials are information-rich in ways we have
not learned how to assess."

History of the development of Russian electromagnetic
research
Here is a summary of the overall picture of Russian biophysics research from
1930s to the present and will help in understanding the next two sections.
This is excerpted in chronological order from the book, "Bioelectrodynamics
and Biocommunication" by Ho, Popp et all, 1994, unless otherwise indicated.
Please refer to my website for further information on Vernadsky, Gurvich,
Becker and Adey.
Gurvich concluded that the agent stimulating cell division was UV radiation.
.mitogenetic radiation[MR]. Subsequently the same effects were discovered
in many other plant and animal tissues.
In the 1930s, mitogenetic research had spread to other European countries
with mixed results. The physical demonstration of the existence of MR was
not possible before WWII; the 'Gurvich radiation' was therefore suspect.
There were other reasons for its unpopularity: the disastrous consequence
of Stalins science policy for biology resulting in the Lysenko affair) and
the fact that, at the time, biological science became dominated by molecular
biology, which made Gurvich's approach obsolete.
.In the Soviet Union this led to an intensification of mitogenetic research
in the 1950s. .maintain that the organism is able to act as an emitter
and receiver of a broad range of electromagnetic frequencies and use these
coherently for communication, regulation and internal structuring.
.Inyushin, who is also one of the pioneers of therapy by means of very weak
laser irradiation, postulated, in 1967, that the main source of MR was the
cell nucleus and that it was coherent-a notion that gave the field a new
dimension.
Harold Saxton Burr of Yale U School of Medicine took up biopotential research
in the 1930s.Burr and his coworkers found steady electric potential gradients
on the surface of many different organisms which were characteristic for
each species. Burr and his coworkers correlated changes of bioelectric potential
to growth, regeneration, .However the work of people like Lund and Burr was
almost completely ignored by fellow scientists. The reason was not only that
the scientific climate of the time was not very sympathetic towards this
kind of research
It was orthopedic surgeon at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Syracuse,
NY Robert O Becker that was to bring the field to the attention of a larger
community of scientists. [Body Electric, a must read, excellent overview
of military, science research of electromagnetic radiation.]
After the war many new electromagnetic technologies, originally developed
for military purposes, became available to research laboratories. Among these
were the microwave technologies that followed from the development of radar,
the photoelectric multipliers used in bioluminescence research and the electronic
transistor.
.One of the founders of biophysics, Boris Rajewsky of the U of Frankfurt
am Main held that the main task of biophysical research was to apply physical
thought and physical methods to biological phenomena and the elucidation
of physical relationships in life processes. He investigated the effects
of light and of electromagnetic fields on the intact organism and also made
a contribution to the research on ultraweak bioluminescence. He was
convinced that living tissue reacts with 'uncanny precision to all physical
influences. [See Schwan's paper with Rajewsky below.]
However the 1940s and 1950s also saw the beginnings of a number of new
developments. The next 30 years saw the accumulation of evidence for the
solid state properties of biological systems.
Russian biophysicist Alexander S. Pressman proposed the first modern
hypothesis on the biological role of EM fields. He also suggested
that informational as opposed to energetic, interactions play a significant
if not main role in electromagnetic biocommunication.
. The radar developments during the second world war were rapidly applied
to therapeutic techniques from which the interest in the dielectric
properties of biological materials had its resurgence,
1964. Dynamical Systems in Physics and Biology by Professor Norbert Weiner.
"Many other considerations which have up to the present been situated in
a somewhat shameful background, such as the study of direct communication
at a distance between nervous systems, possibly by some sort of radiative
phenomenon, are going to be subjected to a real trend in scientific
examination which will not be corrupted by the unscientific assumption that
we are dealing with phenomena with no physical correlates."
Paul Brodeur, author of " Zapping of America" mentions Vernadsky. Vernadsky
was quoted in the first chapter of the 1981 Kaznacheev book, Ultraweak Radiation
in Intercellular Interactions "on the necessity of mastering the biological
action of the entire electromagnetic spectrum."
.In a 1990 General Assembly of the International Union of Radio Science held
in Prague, Ross Adey concluded that, "It is no longer a matter of
speculation that biomolecular systems are responsive to low level, low frequency
electromagnetic fields. Not only is tissue heating not the basis of these
interactions, but the many instances of responses windowed with respect to
field, frequency and intensity set a rubric for their consideration
in physical mechanisms involving long range ordering at the atomic level."

Chapter 10. The history and scientific basis of
mind control technology: more facts to support the theory that the key to
consciousness has been discovered
Now scientists are studying the biology and physics of consciousness. Dr.
J. . Perpich at the 1998 Mental Illness Conference featuring other speakers
such as Vice President Al Gore, stated that "there are 80-100,00 genes of
which half are devoted to the nervous system. Half! .The neurosciences
are the last frontier of human biology." It would be logical to ask
why scientists have discovered the code of life but not of the brain and
it is not implausible that it could be a classified project for military
purposes. The famous scientist Albert Einstein wrote a letter to the President
of the United States telling him of new scientific discoveries that could
be used for stopping Hitler. This led to the development of the atomic bomb.
The idea of a classified mind control project is not far-fetched. Many scientists
have discussed its importance, see previous Cahra articles.
The 1954 book "The Roger Adams Symposium" by Brode et al page 5, is a good
example of the international level of science as follows. "So, when General
MacArthur asked for a six-man scientific committee to come to Japan
to advise him on the reorganization of Japanese science on a democratic
basis, Roger Adams was the man who headed it. The committee spent
a strenuous summer in Japan, visiting and studying both industries and
universities. Their report to General MacArthur was so significant that a
new committee of six, of which Roger Adams was again a member, was asked
to come to Japan in 1948 to survey and report upon the progress that the
Japanese had made."
The 1969 book, "Intellectual Migration" by Donald Fleming described the discovery
of the atomic secrets and there is surely a similar story for the discovery
of the code of the brain. It cannot be explained in one sentence but the
evidence below supports this ‘at first glance, crazy idea’. The
evidence is convincing. Page 158,
In 1934 Szilard conceived the idea of a nuclear chain reaction producing
a violent explosion and actually took out a patent on the process (partly
secret and assigned to the British government). But he had not hit upon the
right element for sustaining a reaction and everybody else learned of the
discovery of nuclear fission in uranium. Szilard, who had settled in New
York in 1937, now undertook a three-pronged campaign-to get English, French
and American scientists to clamp a tight lid of security on their research
in this field; to demonstrate that with uranium a chain reaction would really
work; and above all to impress upon the American government the importance
of getting an atomic bomb before Hitler. In this cause, he drafted
and induced Albert Einstein to sign the famous letter of August 1939 warning
Franklin D. Roosevelt of the possibility of such a bomb-the letter
that triggered the (initially very modest) efforts of the United States in
that direction. Szilard himself eventually became a member of the team
at the University of Chicago that built the atomic pile, the device for producing
a controlled chain reaction that he had envisioned from the
beginning.
Like Einstein's theory of the atom, the theory of electromagnetic radiation
began in the 1930s. I.I. Rabi, Nobel prize winner was quoted in a Washington
Post 1939 article headline, "We're all radio stations, Columbia Scientists
Report, All Atoms, in Humans or in Steel, Found to Emit and Receive Long
Waves".
"Every living thing on earth is a radio broadcasting and receiving
set unconsciously sending out and receiving long-wave wireless messages."
Professor I.I. Rabi, Dr. P Kusch and Dr. S. Millman of Columbia University
told the American Association for the Advancement of Science today that all
atoms, whether part of the heart tissue of man or a piece of steel, constantly
emit radio waves which can be detected and measured. Even death of
an animal organism does not mean the stopping of activity, they said, since
the atoms which form part of the living cell continue to emit radiation after
the organism as a whole has ceased to function. The Columbia scientists measured
these radio waves from atoms for the first time and found them similar to
the action of visible light though the waves are much shorter and can be
detected only by delicate apparatus. The method was used also in exact studies
of the nucleus of the atom. All nuclei of atoms and the particles which surround
them spin much like a toy top. The spinning is irregular, the particles of
the atoms jumping with the speed of light from one point to another. "The
radio waves which we have studied are emitted when the atoms pass from one
of these states to another." they said. In their experiments, the Columbia
scientists measured these radio waves with an accuracy 10,000 times better
than has ever before been achieved, by shooting particles of atoms at high
speed between two magnets.
Rabi was chairman of the original Science Advisory Committee from 1953 to
1957 and a member of PSAC until 1968 . He was assistant director of the MIT
radar lab and worked on classified radar research during WWII. An article
by Allan A. Needell entitled " I.I. Rabi, Lloyd V. Berkner and the American
Rehabilitation of European Science, 1945-1954"stated that "Following
the war, Rabi, with J. Robert Oppenheimer, was among the most influential
participants in the debate over the control of postwar American atomic energy
policy." The article continues,
"[Rabi was ] chairman of the "Scientific Adviser to the Policy Council" of
the Pentagon’s Joint Research and Development Board (JRDB). .Among its
duties was to advise the service secretaries (after 1948 the secretary of
defense) on issues of long-term planning as well as the implications of
scientific and technological advances for military strategy.".The advisers
assisted the founders of the Central Intelligence Group (forerunner of the
CIA) in staffing a scientific intelligence branch."
The scientists in the 1940s up to the present have been strategizing on national
security and science policy. Needell’s article continues,
"One of four specific recommendations on intelligence operations made by
the Rabi-led committee was to increase "the number of U.S. scientific personnel
overseas, either as members of formal missions under the auspices of the
Departments of National Defense or State, or through exchange agreements
worked out directly with foreign universities. .It also supported establishing
close relations between the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the so-called
London Mission for the Exchange of Industrial Technology, which, renamed
the London Science Mission in 1947, came under the jurisdiction of the U.S.
State Department."
Top US scientists from the 1940s were monitoring scientific discoveries and
no doubt knew of Russian developments of electromagnetic technology, especially
in light of the microwave bombardment of the U.S. Embassy from 1953 on, see
section below.
Needell’s article continued,
In January 1949 President Truman formally approved National Security Council
Intelligence Directive 10 (NSCID), which assigned to the Department of State
"primary responsibility for the collection abroad for all government agencies
of information in the basic sciences." Lloyd Berkner was named to direct
a detailed study of science-related organization in 1949. Berkner began a
survey of the "International Flow of Scientific Information" and enlisted
the National Academy of Sciences (to which he had recently been elected)
and its government service arm, the National Research Council. Berkner appointed
Rabi to an advisory committee. Detlev Bronk selected Rabi to serve on the
National Research Council Committee (NRC). "The NRC committee quickly
endorsed establishing and staffing science missions in major foreign embassies
throughout the world."
Needell continued,
"The Berkner Report was devoted to.advance American national security
interests. Berkner remarked in 1950 that "while the unclassified
portion [of the recent report] has been designed to stand alone, it should
be considered as a cover for the classified section. Although the
secret section to which he referred cannot be located in State Department
files, Berkner hints that science could be profitably tapped to accomplish
the political goals of the United States and that "according to his proposal,
the State Department would have a [scientifically knowledgeable]
‘staff’ or a monitoring function in relation to [our] diverse
interests. .Berkner explained, he meant that, while traveling, scientists
could be briefed prior to their departure and debriefed upon their return.
"The debriefing," he emphasized, "should be handled carefully by scientists
in such a way as not to suggest that the information is to be used merely
in the nationalistic sense."
Needell’s article concluded that
"Berkner and Rabi remained close associates on matters of national
security for years to come. Each contributed to important studies for national
security agencies. Instead, many scientists became concerned with promoting
their influence within the U.S. government and, more generally, building
an institutional framework for cooperation between government and outside
experts. .More fundamental was the deep commitment of American scientists
to working, often in secret, for the government."
Rabi is one of nine scientists for the 1996 book "The Story of MRI" from
Bar-Ilan University Press. The book jacket states, "Rabi played a key role
in propagating the "new physics" [new quantum mechanics] to his American
colleagues. His 1937 discovery of magnetic resonance in molecular beams
earned him the 1944 Nobel Prize in physics for his resonance method or
radiofrequency spectroscopy. Another of the nine scientists was Edward
M. Purcell, a nuclear physics Nobel prize winner and the book discussed his
government scientific advisory role.
A.G. Gurvich, founder of a leading Soviet school of biophysics made similar
discoveries in Russia in 1920s and 30s. Vernadsky worked with Gurvich. Vernadsky
quotes were used in Russian scientific journals. A famous Russian military
slogan based on Vernadsky's work was "He who controls the entire electromagnetic
spectrum will dominate the world". See Cahra website, EIR Special Report
1988.
To place some of these scientists who "deepened man’s comprehension
of the atom" in a hierarchy they received the votes by a Fortune magazine
poll. Seventeen Nobel laureates chose among 74 Nobel prize winners, who might
be regarded as "immortal". Rabi, Bohr and Schroedinger, mentioned in sections
of this paper were clearly the top scientists of their time.

World class scientists form 1950s biology-physics
groups:
the Jasons, the phage group, Biophysical Society, Cybernetics Group and
Teleological Society
Gregg Herken dedicated his 1992 book to "Isidor Isaac Rabi, physicist, patriot,
science adviser" This book abundantly described the politics involve in the
PSAC, a presidential advisory board. Here are a few telling excerpts.
The Jasons had their roots in a secret 1958 Pentagon-funded undertaking known
as Project 137, an attempt by the Defense Department to attract new talent
to the study of military problems. .[were] given the code name Project Sunrise.
(The moniker Jason, which the scientists themselves selected, apparently
derived from the Greek temple appearing on IDA’s (Institute for Defense
Analysis) logo.) .it was agreed that while the task force would be headed
by Army Lieutenant General Alfred Starbird, Kistiakowsky and several Jasons
would also be members. To ensure that work on the [electronic] barrier
remained, in McNamara’s words, "high-priority, top secret, and low profile,"
the task for was assigned the misleading title "Defense Communications Planning
Group."
There are numerous examples of the classified scientific defense projects
in the 1960s to the present time. Science advisors and top government officials
are using national security to classified the conferences and meetings on
what technology to develop and how to use it. Rabi continued to offer
advice and counsel to the government, including suggestions "to build bigger
satellites and a warning to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara not to use
nuclear weapons in Vietnam in 1968".
Sidney Drell, a Jason wrote the 1993 book "In the Shadow of the Bomb Physics
& Arm Control.". He wrote this in his preface, page xii,
"The bonds between JASON members and the academic communities that were our
home base were also severely tested during the Vietnam War years. On many
campuses, working for a Defense Department that was "doing all those awful
things" in Southeast Asia was de facto evidence of
evil deeds. With varying intensity, some were personally attacked-I was
confronted on several occasions, and once thrown out of a classroom in Europe-for
"supping with the devil." Many defense consultants, including JASONs
felt the strain of having to keep part of our lives secret and off limits
to discussions and questions, while working with our students and colleagues
in the very open scientific world in which we enjoy the full and open exchange
of ideas and the public scrutiny that is traditional and cherished in our
purely scientific activities."
These examples are great illustrations of the mentality of that period. Detlev
W. Bronk, on the PSAC wrote an article in Science Vol. 186, Oct. 11, 1974
and stated, "It was the beginning of 12 years during which there was
strong support of science by Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, and
Kennedy."
In the book by Herbert York, "Making Weapons, Talking Peace, A physicist's
Odyssey from Hiroshima to Geneva", York stated that the Jasons became
a division of SRI and Mitre. Jack Ruina who headed the NSA, was a
Jason in 1964 and "examined the possible impact of new technologies
on national security." "Jason pioneered work in beam weapons
of all kinds." Nicholas Christofilos was a Jason and proposed
."Sanguine", constructing a very low frequency radio system for communicating
with totally submerged submarines.
Dr. Herbert York, currently Emeritus of the Institute on global Conflict
and Cooperation was heavily involved in government consulting in ARPA, among
other government agencies. In an email to Dr. York dated 7-99, about
electromagnetic weapons as described in the 1970 UN documents authored by
the Russians (see Cahra website) and human experimentation, he replied in
part,
"There has been much work since the late ‘50s on the production of EMP
in nuclear explosions on and the effects of EMP on Computers, guidance systems
and communications systems, and there have been attempts for more that twenty
years to develop weapons using these effects against enemy missiles/aircraft.
Despite a lot of work they have not been very fruitful. To my knowledge,
there has been no serious work in the US on using EMP to "target the brain,."
But the question did not ask about EMP or electromagnetic pulse to target
the brain. Time will tell if Dr. York is using a national security answer.
It would seem so unlikely that a top science adviser would not know of a
large program to develop emr (electromagnetic radiation) weapons as indicated
by the history and large numbers of victims world wide presented in this
paper.
In 1956 the Biophysical Society formed. It was oriented toward the study
of radiation. Members included this long list of notable scientists. H. P
Schwan, Otto H. Schmitt, Claude Shannon, ("The most powerful and pervasive
development in communications in this century has been Shannon’s discovery
of information theory [in] 1948, excerpt from book, "Age of Electronics,
Lincoln Lab Decennial Lectures" by Overage, 1962.) In an interview of Shannon
by Omni Magazine, Aug. 1987, he stated, ".applying information theory
to biological systems may not be so farfetched, because in his view common
principles underlie mechanical and living things."), Kenneth Cole,
Alan Hodgkin, Norbert Weiner, MIT W. R Adey, UCLA, the James Watson and Francis
Crick (discovery of DNA), Erwin Schrodinger, (founder of quantum mechanics),
Georg Von Bekesy and other actual or potential Nobel laureates.
There was also the ‘phage’ group of physicists and
biologists who met and discussed physics and biology in the 1940s
and 50s. This group included James Watson, Leo Szilard and
Hans Delbruck. The Fleming book described how Watson had read Schrodinger’s
book "What is Life" and discussions of physics and biology included notable
scientists such as Salvador Luria, and Gunther Stendt.
Steven J. Heims wrote the book, "Cybernetics Group" and stated the following.
"Another group of physicists displayed their self-confidence after the war
by invading the traditional domain of biology, proposing to unravel the
code-script embodied in the genes as suggestion in Erwin Schrodinger's widely
read book with the enticing title What is Life? (1944). A dedicated group
of researchers who became known as the "phage group" formed around Max Delbruck
and Salvador Luria and gathered in the summers at Cold Spring Harbor on Long
Island: they were as narrowly goal-oriented as the designers of the
atom bomb had been during the war. In this group young researchers obtained
the training and orientation that
eventually led to the discovery of the structure of the DNA molecule and
creation of the new discipline of molecular biology."
This would be worth researching further as these top scientists were discussing
the ideas of the time.
Many of the same ‘phage group’ and ‘biophysical society’
scientists attended the Josiah Macy (CIA funded) conferences on neurology
in the 1940s and 50s. Some of the conferences are still classified according
to author Steve Heims. John Neuman, Norbert Weiner, William McCulloch,
neurologist, John Lilly M.D.; the connections are numerous. Dr. Lilly
was Chief, Section of Cortical Integration, Neurophysiological Laboratory,
Research Branche, National Institute of Mental Health. Lilly authored an
experiment entitled, "Experiments in Solitude, in Maximum Achievable Physical
Isolation with Water Suspension, of Intact Healthy Person," Psychophysiological
Aspects of Space Flight, New York: Columbia University Press 1961.
Dr. McCulloch described a trip to Europe for the U.S. Office of Naval Research
looking for medical discoveries and stated that Dr. Lilly was failed to show
up. See McCulloch, Warren S.(1965)."Embodiments of Mind" M.T.T. Press.
Here is an excerpt from Heims, Steven.(1991). Cybernetics Group. MIT
Preface. "The subject of this book is the series of multidisciplinary
conferences, supported by the Macy Foundation and held between 1946 and 1953,
to discuss a wide array of topics that eventually came to be called cybernetics."
Pg. 11. .included several mathematicians (Norbert Wiener, John von Neumann),
engineers (Julian Bigelow, Claude Shannon), a neuropsychiatrist (Warren
McCulloch), and a polymatic genius (Walter Pitts). Some members of
this group had proposed that their concepts useful in engineering and
biology,. For lack of a better collective name we shall refer to
this group as the cyberneticians, although they would never
have used this term themselves. ."Fremont-Smith[Josiah Macy Foundation] was
so cautious that I got the impression he was anxious to keep something private-
.Much later I learned of the CIA involvement, .(the Macy Foundation's
records have not been open for researchers). At the Macy meetings,
as the unedited transcript shows, the political conditions were discussed
explicitly from time to time. Some participants were government consultants
who worked on "classified" topics kept secret from other researchers; their
priorities were such that they skipped attendance at the conferences whenever
the government called.

MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology: a possible
classified electromagnetic weapon technology location, similar to the Manhattan
Project’s, University of Chicago football field location
One research lead is the following. MIT’s NPR (Neuropsychiatic Research)
Associates included W.Ross Adey, Brain Research Institute, UCLA, Theodore
H. Bullock, Gerald M. Edelman, Robert Galambos, David Hubel, Seymour S. Kety,
William H. Sweet (refer to experiment section above) and Paul Weiss. These
are world class scientists exchanging ideas on a global level in the 1950s
and 1960s.
And from Steven Heims, "Cybernetics Group" book, Pg. 256 ,here is a profound
statement by Gregory Bateson, a famous anthropologist once married to Margaret
Mead, (Mead also attended Macy meetings.). "I looked up Bateson in Sea Life
Park in 1968. I had written to him in connection with my interest in the
history of the Macy cybernetics meetings. His response was, "There
is certainly a piece of scientific history to be dug out of these meetings-I
believe more profound and dramatic than The Double Helix."
Pamela McCorduck wrote the 1979 book "Machine Who Think". This section increases
the likelihood of a Manhattan Project, University of Chicago, under the foot
ball field location for labs to develop the bomb, at MIT. Much more research
needs to be done, but it is plausible.
Page 68. They were all connected: Wiener, Shannon, McCulloch, Turing,
von Neumann. They were connected by friendship, by proximity, by their
fascination with the dawning possibility that tools were finally at hand
for understanding at least some aspects of human thought, which up to then
had frankly eluded anything but proof by assertion. I don’t
mean that we can declare a direct lineal descendancy from one generation
of researchers to the next. Turing, with his appreciation of the rich
possibilities of organizational and functional comparisons between human
brains and the computer-as opposed to comparisons at the cell level.
.Those concerned [with the Information Processing Model] were open-eyed
people-the Ratio Club in London, the Teleological Society, and the Macy meetings
in the United States- all devoted to the mathematical analysis of the nervous
system (and as Wiener notes, you cannot study the nervous system without
studying the mind.)
And again, from the McCorduck book is an example top scientists meeting in
groups and discussing the brain. Page 66. He [John von Neuman] had joined
in December 1944 with Howard Aiken, the Harvard-based co-inventor of the
Mark 1 computer, and with Norbert Wiener the cyberneticist, Walter Pitts,
the logician, and Warren McCulloch the neurophysiologist, to form something
called The Teleological Society, to discuss "communication engineering,
the engineering of control devices, the mathematics of time series in statistics,
and the communication and control aspects of the nervous system."
In the 1988 book Embodiments of Mind, Warren McCulloch wrote on page 3,
".in 1952, I went to the Research Laboratory of Electronics at
Massachusetts Institute of Technology to work on the circuit theory of
brains. Granted that I have never relinquished my interest in empiricism
and am chiefly interested in the condition of water in living systems-witness
the work of my collaborator, Berendsen, on nuclear magnetic resonance."
Christophe Lecuyer, Stanford University wrote in HSPS, 23:1 (1992), "The
making of a science based technological university: Karl Compton, James Killian,
and the reform of MIT, 1930-1957". On page 156 Lecuyer wrote, MIT’s
war effort brought a spectacular growth of research programs and the rise
of Federal patronage. MIT’s continued acceptance of federal sponsorship
during the postwar years, along with the technological revolution and the
general expansion in higher education at the time, accelerated reforms initiated
in the 1930s. These combined developments brought MIT to the forefront
of the elite research universities, expanded its research budget and its
graduate school, led to even greater emphasis on science in engineering
curricula, to an enlargement of its field of activities and to the development
of new science-based technologies on a grand scale. These changes
permanently eroded the boundary between MIT and industry.
Dr. Lilly was also present for the 1960s UCLA Brain Research Institute
Conferences with Dr. Ross Adey and Dr. William H. Sweet of violence studies
notoriety in Boston, Massachusetts. One conference was entitled "Conference
on Neurobiological Basis of Behavior. May 1-14 1964, UCLA Institute for Brain
Research. The book "Simulations of God, The Science of Belief" by Dr. John
C. Lilly, 1956, describes his contact with L.J. West of CIA and LSD experiments.
Dr. Karl Pribram, Stanford University Professor and author of the holography
theory of the brain collaborated with Dr. Lilly It is easy to imagine the
talk of classified brain research among those who probably had security
clearances. (See Cahra website, code of the brain article.)

A possible scientific basis for the key to consciousness
"Informational Bioelectromagnetics" by David Copson, 1982 is
an excellent book for understanding this topic. Even more importantly, the
author states the possible scientific basis for the mind control technology.
Copson noted the importance of Dr. S.J. Webb and "his ‘expose’
of exquisitely sensitive, bioelectromagnetic communication between
precisely-controlled external millimeter waves with the very machinery of
life in cells." He describes the1956 formation of the Biophysical
Society included Claude Shannon, Francis Crick who was the co-discoverer
of DNA, Erwin Schrodinger, Georg von Besky and Norbert Weiner, to name a
few, (See previous Cahra article, Code of the Brain). On page 236, Copson
quotes Arthur von Hippel in The Molecular Designing of Materials and Devices.
MIT Press,1965. Dr. von Hippel was Professor of Electrophysics at MIT,
recipient of the Presidential Certificate of Merit in 1948, fellow of the
AAAS and more. "Since nature designs everything from atoms, we should
be able to create with foresight any feasible kind of material and device
if we understood the Periodic System in all its implications." ".the
intriguing concepts of biomolecular engineering and dielectromagnetics will
be mentioned briefly. The former recognizes the possibility that
biomolecules may be combined into materials in which the characteristics
and performance are predictable from a knowledge of the molecular properties,
particularly of their constants such as the dielectric constant, the
semiconductivity, and related electrophysical properties. "
The term dielectro-magnetic engineering actually arises from the two areas
under discussion, dielectrics and electromagnetics. The dielectrics part
of this is explained by the quotation that opens this chapter and suggests
the kind of information in the Periodic System that Dr. von Hippel had in
mind-a kind of electrical or dielectrical reaction to applied forces
and processes, varying with the element. The author once observed
that with a fully classified and utilized electromagnetic spectrum, one might
select frequencies to satisfy defined requirements in a process. Then by
resorting to the device which delivers this specific energy in the form required,
one could obtain some truly sophisticated solutions to process
problems." ( Please note, this fundamental law of science could be
the basis for mind control technology. See previous Cahra papers. This
fundamental law of science has been stated by many others from 1940s through
the 1990s.)
Copson continued, "The term dielectromagnetic engineering combines aspects
of von Hippel’s enthusiasm for the Periodic System of the Elements with
the author’s respect for the electromagnetic spectrum. It is then obvious
that neither sentiment is justified fully without the other. The conclusion
for education in the future is that the study of materials and electromagnetic
energy interactions and especially of dielectric processes will need much
more emphasis. As if to connect these lines of thought we have the fact that
it was the early work in spectroscopy following Nils Bohr’s dynamic
model of the atom that established the basic physical terms of the Periodic
System of the Elements."
The 1965 book "The Molecular Designing of Materials and Devices" by Arthur
von Hippel included chapters on biology such as "Sensory Coding in the Nervous
System" by Walter A. Rosenblith, Professor of Biophysics, MIT and attendee
of the Josiah Macy conferences mentioned above. The physicists and biologists,
neurologists and medical professions were exchanging ideas including
electromagnetic radiation and brain interactions.
It be plausible that his work might have been applied to the biological
applications of a theory of the brain, similar to Einstein and the theory
of the atom applied to the atomic bomb.
Here is an email to the Bulletin Of Atomic Scientist, Frank von Hippel,
Arthur’s son in an excerpted email below asking about his father, "Maybe
you can answer a short
question. Your father was quoted by David Copson in 1982 in "Informational
Bioelectromagnetics". I am interested in researching how the government decoded
the brain in a highly classified program beginning in the 1940s, for military,
intelligence and
psyops purposes. Your father's basic theories on material science is slightly
related If you would have any information on this." On 8-21-99 Dr. von
Hippel’s son replied . Here is an excerpt. " I am unaware of this
controversy. I also doubt that my father would have been involved in any
psychological research. But if you have any information that
he was and can forward it to me, I will be happy to see what I can find out.
Frank von Hippel Center for Energy and the Environment Princeton University"
Victims cannot expect scientists to reveal national security secrets.
The book "The Cold War and American Science: The Military -Industrial-Academic
Complex at MIT and Stanford", by Stuart Leslie, 1993 stated that Arthur von
Hippel was a German refugee and there were significant documents at the
Rockefeller Foundation Archives on his work. Rockefeller Foundation was
interested in his work and MIT offered him an appointment in electrical
engineering in 1936, (page 190).
Fleming’s book discussed Niels Bohr’s interest in biology. Niels
Bohr was a Nobel prize winner. "He did not deny, he said in 1929, that
biology was a ‘fruitful’ field for the application of physics and
chemistry. Just as we do not need to distinguish, in principle, between the
current in a water pipe and the flow of blood in the vessels, no more should
we expect, beforehand, any profound fundamental difference between the
propagation of sense impressions in the nerves and the conduction of electricity
in a metal wire."

Russia & East Block say nonthermal emr biological
effects proven, U.S. says no
H.P. Schwan was a German scientist who came to the US under a military
recruitment program after the war. He has worked at the University of
Pennsylvania on numerous government contracts and was a major contributor
to the first health and safety standards for electromagnetic radiation,
established by the US government. In Physical Properties of Biological
Matter: Some History, Principles, and Applications by Herman P. Schwan, 1982.
".Rajewsky and I had published a paper on the conductivity of erythrocytes,
reporting, for the first time, dielectric measurements on biological materials
extending up to 1,000 MHz. [ See above,Russian history section for
Rajewsky]. .I mention all of these things to indicate the decisive role that
the Navy and NIH played. Navy support has been available to me, in
one form or another, ever since 1947, and NIH support since 1952.
The book continues, "While a young physics student, financial problems forced
me to interrupt my studies until I found employment as an electronics technician
at the Oswalt Institute for Physics in Medicine, now the Max Planck
Institute for Biophysicscell membranes are not likely to be affected
directly by microwaves since fields of interest can only apply potentials
across the membranes that are vanishingly small in comparison with potentials
needed to yield significant membrane responses. And significant responses
of biopolymers require field strength levels very much higher than those
causing undue heating. These arguments have not been directly challenged
so far [not true, See Adey above]. Schwan has worked extensively in the
biomedical engineering field. He has claimed up to the 1990s that the
nonthermal effects of electromagnetic radiation have not been proven. Schwan
holds this opinion to this day. His March 22, 2000 email response to the
issue of classified electromagnetic, neurological weapons stated. "I am not
aware of military antipersonnel weapons using em radiation. There was alot
of talk about it some years ago. I believe the potential for such weaponry
is small since em radiation field strength decreases inversely with the distance
square in the "distant" field."
Many scientists such as Dr. Ross Adey, who worked for years at NASA’s
Space and Biology Lab, believe otherwise and experienced the cutoff of funding
of his nonthermal electromagnetic radiation research early in his career
and in the 1980s he made this comment to a congressional hearing. From AP
May 1988 Moscow Embassy newspaper article cited under international politics
section above.
"Since the early 1980s, however, federal government support for non-ionizing
radiation bioeffects research has declined markedly. W. Ross Adey, a leading
researcher based at the Veteran’s Administration Medical Center in Loma
Linda, Calif., told a House subcommittee last Oct. 6 that current levels
of government funding -now about $7 million a year- are "disastrously low."
"There is reason to believe that this situation has arisen in part
through a well-organized activity on the part of major corporate entities
from the consumer and military electronic industries to discredit all research
into athermal biological and biomedical effects," Adey said.
Louis Slesin, editor of Microwave News, a newsletter covering the non-ionizing
radiation research field, said that "what is clear is that Soviet researchers
are extremely interested in the effects of this kind of radiation."
Schwan’s theory is still officially endorsed in safety standards by
the U.S. government. In light of lawsuits claiming cancer and other health
effects caused by electromagnetic radiation, the government policy of nonthermal
effects of electromagnetic radiation makes sense. The U.S. military is the
major funder and user of radar and electromagnetic technology. .
The scientific basis of the bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation at levels
below heating of tissue is supported by many scientists but economic and
political forces have changed the course of science and as a result the issue
of health effects of electromagnetic radiation is controversial to this day.
It can be shown that from the 1940s through the 1990s the history of
electromagnetic research is based on theoretical foundations that are standing
the test of time. (See International article, Cahra website). The 1979 excerpt
by V.L. Issraelyan, Representative of the USSR to the Committee on Disarmament
actually stated the following. "Assessments quoted in international
literature of the potential danger of the development of a new weapon of
mass destruction are based on the results of research into the so-called
"non-thermal" effects of electromagnetic radiation on biological
targets. "
Here is an example by A. S. Presman of Russia. The nonthermal effects of
electromagnetic radiation theory is accepted in east block countries. A.S.
Presman of the Department of Biophysics, Moscow University, Moscow wrote
"Electromagnetic Fields and Life" published in 1970. He began his research
on the effects of electromagnetic fields on living organisms in the 1950s.
In the forward, Presman wrote "Experimental investigations and theoretical
considerations suggest that EMFs can have a significant biological action
only when their intensity is fairly high and that such action can be due
to only one process-conversion of the electromagnetic energy to heat.
Yet there is an increasing amount of reliable experimental data which
indicate that EMFs can have nonthermal effects and that living organisms
of diverse species -.are extremely sensitive to EMFs".
Presman included a quote by V.I. Vernadskii, 1926 in the introduction.(Please
see previous Cahra articles citing Vernadskii as father of the Soviet Bomb).
Vernadskii stated: "Only a few of the invisible radiations are known
to us at presently. We have hardly begun to realize their diversity and the
scrappy nature and inadequacy of our knowledge of the radiations which surround
us and pass through us in the biosphere, and to understand their basic roles
in the processes going on around us, a role which is difficult to comprehend
by minds accustomed to other conceptions of the universe." "We are surrounded
and penetrated, at all times and in all places, by eternally changing, combining
and opposing radiations of different wavelengths-from ten millionths of a
millimeter to several kilometers."
The book "Electromagnetic Fields" by B. Blake Levitt, 1987, is good overview
of the controversy surrounding electromagnetic fields, from a health standpoint.
Levitt is listed in Who’s Who of American Women and her work most often
appeared in the New York Times before her bookwriting. Page 387 concluded
the following. "The nonionizing band of the electromagnetic spectrum
will probably turn out to be far more significant than anyone heretofore
imagined. There is a distinct possibility, for instance, that entrainment
phenomenon, resonance relationships, and other reactions to nonionizing
electromagnetic fields will prove to be a critical, but hidden, variable
in all scientific research."
This is a complex topic and the facts are becoming clearer as the same patterns
emerge. The facts are verifying the claims of victims of nonconsensual
experimentation. Another independent source to substantiate the nonthermal
theory of electromagnetic radiation is an article in Trial 8-90 page 32,
by Bruce H. DeBoskey entitled "Non-Ionizing Radiation: Hidden Hazards". It
summarizes the litigation surrounding prolonged exposure to NIEMR or non-ionizing
electromagnetic radiation. This is a good reference article and it demonstrates
the difficulty involved in court cases filed by victims. The article stated
"the potential for hazards from NIEMR has long been known to the industries
involved." " .Some industries have been funding research designed to show
the absence of harm to workers or the general public."
The EMR, (electromagnetic radiation), nonthermal controversy is being handled
by the government in the same way as the defoliant Agent Orange used in the
Vietnam war in which there were charges by veterans of the health effects
of Agent Orange for years. This is an example of the government’s use
of lack of scientific evidence to cover up the toxic effects of Agent Orange
in order to avoid lawsuits. Time 8-9-93, p51 headline read, "Reversing previous
finding, experts link Hodgkin’s disease, among other, to the Vietnam-era
defoliant." The article continued, ".A study by the Centers for Disease control
concluded in the late 1980s that the link between Agent Orange and various
cancers was too tenuous to prove. Only 1,000 of the 39,000 claims made would
be paid out. Last week, a 16-member panel of experts assembled by the National
Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine.", a link to cancer was made. It
has been an ongoing battle". It was recently reported in the Sacramento
Bee Nov. 1, 1998 p. A4 that there is proof that the U.S. military withheld
information about possible links between Agent Orange and birth defects,
and downplayed the defoliant’s link to cancer.
There are many more examples that could be given such as the history of the
radiation victims fight for justice. The government is knowingly carrying
out a policy in order to avoid compensation costs. The Vietnam veterans risked
their lives in the Vietnam war and the U.S. government should be punished
for the way that the agent orange vets were treated. The radiation victims
were treated the same way and there is a lesson for the current victims.
It is important to realize that victims must actively fight for their rights
because for many reasons there is no help for this type of problem in our
society today.

The medical community’s use of nonthermal
electromagnetic radiation effects
From Harlan Girard of the International Committee On Offensive Microwave
Weapons, here are three medical conferences featuring electromagnetic technology.
The first example has information on the website for NextMed2 is at
http://www.amainc.com/nextmed.html [old link].
It is at Boston April 9-11, 1999 and the program chair is Cdr
Shaum B Jones MD of DARPA or Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Lectures
included topics such as "The Inner Universe of the Mind, Insights from
Neurobiology and "Replacement Parts for the Brain".
The second conference is ElectroMed99 April 12-14, 1999 in Norfolk Virginia
at www.ece.odu.edu/~emed99
[old link] entitled Nonthermal Medical/Biological Treatments
Using Electromagnetic Fields and Ionized Gases. The conference description
stated in part, "Electrical pulses with duration down to less than one billionth
of a second but at voltages exceeding ten thousand volts allow us to explore
and utilize
electrical interactions with biological cells without heating the tissue.
The high frequency components in the ultrashort pulses have been shown to
provide a pathway to the interior of cells. Pulsed, high power microwave
and millimeter wave sources allow us to explore and utilize nonlinear processes
on the molecular level, with the potential to modify molecular structures,
such as DNA, selectively. Harlan Girard pointed out, E. Postow of
the National Institutes of Health was on the Program Committee of ElectroMed99.
He was also editor of a tribute to H. P. Schwan, see above, nonthermal
controversy section.
Third, NIH ( National Institute of Health) and the Air Force are represented
at a workshop on "Therapeutic Benefits of Electromagnetic
Fields". by the Bioelectromagnetics Society in Washington DC on Feb.
12, 1999. Speeches included "The Use of MW Technology for Remote
Physiological Measurements", Henry Kues, PhD., Applied Physics
Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University and "Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation in Treatment of Mood Disorders", Andrew M. Speer, MD

We're All Radio Stations,
Columbia Scientists Report
All Atoms, in Humans or in Steel, Found
to Emit and Receive Long Waves
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 29 (AP).--Every living thing on earth is a radio
broadcasting and receiving set unconsciously sending out and receiving long-wave
wireless messages.
Professor L L Rabi, Dr. P. Kusch and Dr. S. Millman of columbia University
told the American Association for the Advancement of Science today that all
atoms, whether part of the heart tissue of man or a piece of steel, constantly
emit radio waves which can be detected and measured.
Even death of an animal organism does not mean the stopping of activity,
they said, since the atoms which form part of the living cell continue to
emit radiation after the organism as a whole has ceased to function.
The Columbia scientists measured these radio waves from atoms for the first
time and found them similar to the action of visible light, though the waves
are much shorter and can be detected only by delicate apparatus.
The method was used also in exact studies of the nucleus of the atom.
All nuclei of atoms and the particles which surround them spin much like
a toy top. The spinning is irregular, the particles of the atoms jumping
with the speed of light from one point to another. "The radio waves which
we have studied are emitted when the atoms pass from one of these states
to another," they said.
In their experiments, the Columbia scientists measured these radio waves
with an accuracy 10,000 times better than has ever before been achieved,
by shooting particles of atoms at high speed between two magnets.

Beginning with the CWC or chemical weapons convention,
reported by Barbara Hatch Rosenberg in Bulletin of Atomic Scientist Sept./Oct
1994 p45, Hatch Rosenberg stated that under "The Certain Conventional Weapons
Convention (also known as the Inhumane Weapons Convention and by its full
name, "Convention on Prohibition or Restriction of the use of Certain
Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed to Be Excessively Injurious or to
Have Indiscriminate Effects", international discussions are now under way
that may lead to the development of a specific new protocols covering
electromagnetic weapons;. The current surge of interest in electromagnetic
and similar technologies makes the adoption of a protocol explicitly outlawing
the use of these dehumanizing weapons an urgent matter. "An article
on nonlethal weapons entitled, " A Fate Worse Than Death" New Scientist,

Electromagnetic Weapons Summary: by Grattan Healy, Advisor
on Energy & Research Green Group in the European Parliament: February
‘99
Electro-Magnetic (EM) weapons are one of the newest and most serious military
developments in the world today. Enormous secrecy surrounds their development,
which is helped by the fact that they rely on the complex physics of non-ionizing
radiation and on bio-electromagnetics. They can be broadly broken down into
two categories- those aimed at the environment and those aimed at living
systems, or in reality the human central nervous system. In the case of the
environment and those aimed at living systems, or in reality the human central
nervous system. In the case of the environment, very large quantities of
energy can be literally ‘broadcast’, like radio, to create certain
special environmental effects- radical changes in the ionosphere to affect
communications, and possibly even the weather, as well as reflection to earth
to perform such feats as x-raying the earth to find underground installations,
possibly large transfers of energy to power equipment, or to apply destructive
forces anywhere on earth, including EMP effects (Electro-Magnetic Pulse,
associated with nuclear explosions), and simpler tasks like submarine
communication, using very long waves. The more sinister aspect concerns
the ability to use low energy density waves of particular frequencies and
special waveforms to literally ‘tune into’ the human central nervous
system (CNS), something that has been achieved in the laboratory, according
to publicly available scientific literature. This might be done on
an individual scale, to temporarily or perhaps permanently alter psychological
states, so as to elicit certain behaviours temporarily or perhaps permanently
alter psychological states, so as to elicit certain behaviours from human
beings. It is alleged that many victims have been tested involuntarily for
decades now with this technology. It is also suggested that these weapons
have been used in some actions, most especially the Gulf War and against
the Greenham Common women in the UK. In this case they would have a mass
effect, in that they are aimed at large groups. This use is sought not only
by the military, but, alarmingly, by the police forces as well, clearly for
the purpose of controlling unruly domestic populations. Once achieved, such
a system might become irreversible, or unstoppable. The subject came to the
attention of the Green Group in 1996, and we have slowly developed a knowledge
base and large archive in this highly specialized area. Several special meetings
culminating in a Foreign Affairs Committee Parliamentary Hearing have been
help at the European Parliament as a result, and finally the Group managed
in early January ‘99, with the help of interested Members in other Groups,
to have Parliament pass a resolution referring very critically to this subject.
This subject also has very serious implications for standard setting
for non-ionizing radiation, because the levels of exposure at which one can
manipulate the human being are very low indeed, since it is the tuning and
the waveform which matter, not the levels, which is the reason that Russian
exposure standards are apparently 1000 times lower than the US
standards. Setting standards suited to the use of mobile phones and
power lines, so as to avoid the long term health effects, while very desirable
indeed, may not even be low enough to prevent the use of these weapons, and
may even legalize their use, something the Greens must be very careful of,
since we have been responsible for this subject to date in the European
Parliament (Lannoye, Belgium and Tamino, Italy). Ideally, for now, we should
exclude military sources, specifically weapons, as opposed to communications
equipment, from EU legislation on non-ionizing radiation altogether.
It is worth comparing the standard setting processes for non-ionizing and
for ionizing radiation, as they are remarkably similar. The military, via
the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), played a
major role in originally setting ionizing standards at ridiculously high
levels burying or ignoring the science, leading to the need for continuous
reductions in the acceptable exposure levels. Something similar appears to
happening with non-ionizing radiation, in that a very similar unelected
‘independent’ advisory committee (ICNIRP-International Commission
on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection) has offered advice in this area, which
is accepted blindly by the European Commission, despite the fact that, once
again, much of the science is being ignored, and the precautionary principle,
for some odd reason, seems not to apply. The fact that two of the US
representatives on ICNIRP are associated with the military has echoes of
the past, and is most suspicious. The focus of public attention so far has
been a project in Alaska called HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research
Program), which is a massive ‘array’ transmitter designed to manipulate
the ionosphere for military purposes- communications effects, earth x-rays,
and possibly weather manipulation (despite conventions banning this).
But the range of uses of this basic technology is very wide, much wider
than its predecessor, ionizing radiation (nuclear). The primary difference
is that electromagnetic waves can be ‘tuned’ so as to have certain
effects on living systems, whereas the ‘chaotic’ nature of ionizing
radiation does not facilitate this and the result of exposure to it is normally
direct damage only. As stated above, scientists have been able to
‘tune EM to facilitate remote direct communication with the central
nervous systems of living creatures, and they are of course especially interested
in using this fact to manipulate human beings. According to their own official
documentation, the military and the police themselves are planning to use
these technologies to control populations. They were used in a crude form
by the Soviets against the US Moscow embassy in the ‘60s with fatal
consequences for the ambassador himself, and it is believed that they were
used in what is called a ‘superfence’ against the Greenham Common
women, and also to demotivate the Iraqi troops during the Gulf War. The Soviets
tried in the 70s to prevent an arms race in this area by means of a Convention,
but the US rejected these efforts, and has moved ahead very rapidly, also
within NATO, into a dominant position. Unless this development is stopped,
we are entering an Orwellian ‘1984’ type scenario, which could
potentially permanently transfer enormous power to those in control of the
technology. It must also be seen in the wider context of the on-sided
arms race currently underway, where the US is re-arming, by continuing with
"Star Wars", and is aiming to be totally dominant in ‘Space Power’
by 2020. Electromagnetic weapons play a key role here, alongside ABMs, lasers
and particle beam weapons.
Group Position: We are of course totally opposed to the development and
deployment of these weapons. We regard the unsuccessful attempts in the 70s
of the former Soviet Union to have these weapons controlled by a UN Convention
as having been a major missed opportunity, which has now led to a new arms
race in this field. We have sought to renew the attempt to have a Convention
to outlaw these weapons and the research that lead to them, primarily that
concerning external manipulation of the human central nervous system. We
are alarmed that, already, the US is moving toward deployment of ABMs, in
Alaska for example, in breach of the 1972 ABM Treaty (possibly arguing that
the USSR no longer exists!), and is also developing weather modification
weapons, which would breach the 1977 UN ENMOD Convention. Adherence to these
existing Treaties is absolutely essential from our point of view.
Positions of Other Groups:
The focus for debate so far in Parliament not his issue has been provided
by a report on the environment and the military, authored by Swedish Socialist
and peace activist Maj Britt Theorin. She referred to this very sensitive
matter in a rather passing fashion in her draft report, having met, during
a Parliamentary hearing on the matter, some of the main activists on the
issue, and having also apparently met some anonymous scientist. Enormous
pressure was imposed on the rapporteur Mrs. Theorin, we believe via her
‘scientific’ advisers, and she opposed every attempt to strengthen
the resolution on this subject. At some points the PPE divided, and important
Green amendments were lost, such as our call for a convention banning the
human CNS research!. The Left (GUE/NGL) followed the Socialists, while the
Liberals were mixed, but helpful on this question to some extent. In the
end, we achieved a quite remarkable Parliament resolution on January 28th,
damning the US for not being willing to even come to discuss the matter with
the Parliament, and in particular attacking the HAARP project in Alaska,
calling for a Parliament STOA study on it, while also calling in rather vague
terms for a ban on the manipulation of human beings.
Initiatives Taken by the Group:
Being a very difficult subject, as it is (or seems) so new and very technical,
and seemingly science fiction, it has been necessary to move carefully and
not too quickly. We began in 1996 with two special Green Group meetings,
one showing an excellent BBC Horizon documentary on HAARP, and involving
experts like Dr. Rosalie Bertell from Canada, an Dr. Nick Begich from Alaska,
author of the best-selling book on HAARP, as well as MEPs like Tom Spencer
and Carlos Pimenta, to make Members aware that this was no science
fiction. That let the Parliamentary Hearing on HAARP and
‘Non-lethal’ Weapons in February last year, in the Foreign Affairs
Committee. The culmination so far was the Theorin report, and the considerable
success in adding references on this sensitive subject, by adoption of our
amendments, and some by the PPE.
Future Plans:
Not much has happened since the adoption of the Theorin report and resolution,
and changes in the Membership of the Parliament in June may bean having to
start again to some extent. However, the media have now started to take the
matter more seriously since Theorin. The STOA study should be produced in
the next year. Green Ministers will now be urged to act on the matter. The
new group will have to face this new issue after the election to decide how
to proceed.

There are steps forward and back, Dec/Jan 97/98 Nexus,
p8 stated that "On 19 November 1996 something happened in Strasbourg, France,
which could fundamentally remove many of the rights of patients. It had no
public airing beforehand, and has been little reported on ever since.
After marathon discussions, the Committee of Ministers of 39 European
Union member states adopted the Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine.
This allows for future drug use and other medical trials to be carried out
on potentially huge numbers of people, possibly without their
consent. those particularly at risk include the mentally ill who
are deemed not to be able to give their consent; those with diseases for
which there is no "known" cure(i.e., AIDS, cancer, CJD); people who are in
a coma; those needing emergency treatment; and, perhaps most worrying of
all, children. Although the convention applies only to EU member countries,
the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) simultaneously, and very quietly,
changed its rules to be almost identical to those of the Strasbourg Convention.
These new rules also mean that some groups of people may be involved in medical
research programs without their knowledge or consent. Under the guise of
individual "protection", the Convention says that in certain situations "general
interests" will take priority over those of individuals. There is even the
provision for organ removal from a living person, without consent, for transplant
purposes in "exceptional circumstances". Source: Doris Jones, What Doctors
Don’t Tell You, Sept.97).

The United Nations General Assembly has adopted this 1996
Resolution 51/37. Prohibition of the development and manufacture of new types
of weapons of mass destruction and new system of such weapons. This resolution
has interesting history that began in 1975. The Soviets first proposed this
resolution and it has been up for debate with the United States ever since
as the UN record reflects. In 1979, the Soviets specified what they meant
by "new weapons of mass destruction" The list included " (c) Infrasonic "acoustic
radiation" weapons. They would utilize harmful effects of infrasonic
oscillations on biocurrents of the brain and nervous system." and "(d)
Electromagnetic weapons operation at certain radio-frequency radiations,
which could have injurious effects on human organs. " Quote from
United Nations and Disarmament: 1945-1985 by the UN Department for Disarmament
Affairs. (1985) NY.
Here is more documentation from the UN. The next quoted four paragraphs are
from the 10 July 1979 Committee on Disarmament 1-52, V.L. Issraelyan,
Representative of the USSR to the Committee on Disarmament. "As a result
of research into the effects of electromagnetic radiation on biological targets,
the existence of harmful effects of radio-frequency radiations within
a wide range of frequencies on such vitally important organs of the human
as the heart, the brain and the central nervous system may now be regarded
as a firmly established fact. Assessments quoted in international
literature of the potential danger of the development of a new weapon of
mass destruction are based on the results of research into the so-called
"non-thermal" effects of electromagnetic radiation on biological targets.
These effects may take the form of damage to or disruption of the functioning
of the internal organs and systems of the human organism or of changes in
its functioning."
"As regards the possibility of devising technical means of generating
electromagnetic radiation, many countries already have a highly developed
technical base in the field of radio engineering and radio electronic. Powerful
high-frequency generators, radar devices and other radio engineering
installations serving various purposes have been developed and brought into
use. The development of these means reflects a common trend in that efforts
are being made to improve their characteristics, increase their efficiency
and reduce their dimensions. Data available in the scientific literature
show that the peak capacity of electromagnetic radiation generators has increased
almost a hundredfold during the past four years alone. It is expected that,
in the next five or six years, means capable of the directional transmission
of electromagnetic radiation density in excess of known safety standards
will be attainable in areas measuring dozens of square kilometres."
" It is therefore to be expected that, taking into account further
achievements in science and technology, it may be possible in time to devise
means of generating powerful electromagnetic oscillations whose parameters
could make those means suitable for use as a new type of weapons of mass
destruction."
" During the course of the discussion in the Committee on Disarmament of
the question of the prohibition of new types and systems of weapons of mass
destruction, Soviet experts as well as experts from a number of other countries
adduced concrete scientific data and facts which convincingly demonstrate
that, in view of the present level of science and technology in certain areas,
it is scientifically justified to speak of the possibility of developing
corresponding new types of weapons of mass destruction, and in particular
those listed in the annex to the expanded draft agreement. It is
practically no long possible at the present time to dispute the fact that
the possibility of developing new types and systems of weapons of mass
destruction--the consequences of whose emergence are as yet difficult
to foresee--exists, and that the problem of the comprehensive prohibition
of the development, manufacture and stockpiling of new types and systems
of such weapons is therefore a pressing one."

International Committee for the Convention Against Offensive
Microwave Weapons 1998 Civil Court Case Dismissed and Appealed to the
Inter-American Commission on Human Rights
Andrews Electromagnetic Field Litigation Reporter, Oct. 98
(www.andrewspub.com)
reported "Human Testing Claims ‘Too Vague to Confer Standing,’
U.S. Argues". The article continued, "United States government attorneys
say that a class action suit, allegedly on behalf of persons who have been
unwitting subjects of government-sponsored radiation and electric and magnetic
field exposure tests, should be dismissed because its "vague allegations
are insufficient to confer organizational standing." The government tells
U.S. District Judge Gladys Kesler of Washington, DC, that not only does the
plaintiff group appear to have only one identified member, but the allegations
contained in its complaint are too speculative to support its claims that
unauthorized testing has violated the constitutional rights of an untold
number of Americans." On page 6, the article continues with ".The International
Committee alleges that Girard, and others whom the group seeks to represent
in the suit, have "experienced symptoms which are consistent with exposure
to biological process control weapons and microwave technologies. The complaint
alleges that government agencies are compelled by a March 1997 presidential
directive to develop regulations preventing nonconsensual human testing.
The government, in reply, holds that the executive order cited by the
group does not have the force of law and, thus, does not confer a private
right of action upon the plaintiffs."
JAMA, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 277, No. 20, p. 1583,
reviewed the March 27 memorandum by President Clinton. The article stated
that "President Clinton has directed federal agencies to adopt stricter rules
for the conduct of classified research on human subjects. The directive follows
most of the recommendations made by a committee he appointed in 1994 to
investigate radiation experiments conducted on unsuspecting people by the
US government during the Cold War. In his March 27, [1997] memorandum, Clinton
directed federal agencies to propose new rules that would require scientists
conducting classified research on humans always to obtain informed consent
from potential subjects, to tell the subjects that the research is classified
and explain what classification means, and, in most cases, to disclose to
subjects the identity of the agency sponsoring the research. The rules also
should require agencies to keep permanent records of all secret research
involving humans, ." It is relevant to Girard’s court case that the
JAMA article continued with the following. "Clinton has directed federal
agencies to issue a formal report annually on the number of classified human
research projects and the number of subjects in each project." According
to the Girard court case, this was not done.
As reported in Microwave News Nov/Dec 1998, p16, ".In September, a lawsuit
brought by the International Committee for the Convention Against Offensive
Microwave Weapons (ICOMW) was dismissed in the U.S. district court in
Washington." "We were asking the court to enforce a presidential memorandum
which bans involuntary research on human subjects," "The Philadelphia-based
organization had alleged that the DOD and the CIA have conducted such experiments
in their efforts to develop weapons systems using EMFs, lasers, microwaves
and sound waves(see MWN, M/J98). The judge ruled that the group did not have
standing to bring suit because the people alleged to have suffered from such
testing were not ICOMW members. She acknowledged that Girard himself was
a member, but stated that his own complaints were "too generalized and
nonspecific to support a complaint." Girard told Microwave News that the
ICOMW could not afford an appeal. Instead, he said, the committee plans
to raise the matter with the Inter-American Commission on Human
Rights."
The above case was dismissed and it required a large sum of money, out of
the reach of most victims. It is interesting to note that the court
case cited a violation of the 4th,5th and 8th amendments to the U.S.
Constitution. It also cited "Violation of Treaties and International Law".
This included the Nuremberg Code, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
the Helsinki Declaration, the ICCPR and the Convention against
Torture. The case is US District Court for the District of Columbia,
ICOMW v US Case # 1:98CV00939.

World Organization Against Torture USA October, 1998 Report
on "Torture in the United States, The Status of Compliance by the U.S. Government
with the International Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman
or Degrading Treatment or Punishment"
This report is another milestone, thanks to the three years of lobbying efforts
by Harlan Girard of the ICOMW. This report was prepared by "The Coalition
Against Torture and Racial Discrimination, A Joint Working Group of
Non-Governmental Civil and Human Rights Groups in the U.S., Compiled and
Edited by Morton Sklar, Director, World Organization Against Torture USA
The project to organize a working group of U.S. based civil and human rights
organizations, and compile and issue a joint report on U.S. compliance under
the Convention Against Torture, was made possible through grants provided
by the Ford Foundation and the World Council of Churches". A partial list
of individuals who contributed to this report were the ABA, ACLU, AI, Meiklejohn
Civil Liberties Institute and many more. There were 11 chapters and over
99 pages. A copy can be obtained from OMCT Suite 400, 1015 18th St. NW
Washington, DC 20036 tele, (202) 861-6494 and it is posted on their website
at http://www./omct.org/woatusa/CATreport/science.htm. [moved:
http://www.woatusa.org/]
The relevant chapter is chapter 10. Involuntary Human Scientific Experimentation.
Here are the highlights.
"The 1995 Initial Report of the United States to the United Nations Human
Rights Committee acknowledges that a number of Cold War era experiments involving
the exposure of humans to radiation were conducted that would be in violation
of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. It does
not however discuss in any detail: .whether any steps have been taken to
ensure that such experimentation does not take place in the future."
The report then discussed radiation experiments and stated, ".while
high level officials were aware of the dangers and the ethical considerations
involved, there was a consistent lack of effective regulation governing
administration of the tests." This section on experimentation ends
with the following two paragraphs.
"In summary, although the U.S. government has taken important steps to
acknowledge some of the errors that occurred in the past involving improper
human experimentation, very little has been done to properly compensate those
adversely affected by these experiments, and courts have refused to hold
the government financially responsible for what has occurred in many areas
not presently covered by legislation. In addition, full disclosure of improper
experimentation still has not taken place, and the adequacy of safeguards
to guarantee that these types of unlawful practices do not occur is still
very much open to dispute."
"Similar concerns also are being raised about involuntary human experimentation
involving new forms of classified research and testing of high technology
military weaponry, including microwave and laser equipment. Groups working
on these issues cite, among other evidence of the existence of these unauthorized
testing procedures, a White house intergovernmental memorandum dated March
27,1997, establishing stronger guidelines prohibiting non-consensual testing
for classified research, but suggesting, by implication, that this type of
human subject research may, in fact, be taking place. Because of the
classified nature of these activities, it is very difficult to confirm or
disprove that they are taking place. Given the serious negative impacts on
non-consensual human subjects that classified research of this type is capable
of producing, and given the past history of secret experimentation by the
government, these allegations of continuing improprieties involving secret
government sponsored human testing should not be dismissed without more thorough,
impartial investigation."

The medical profession and the effects of weapons, Excerpts
from the Reports of the Symposium held under the auspices of the International
Committee of the Red Cross Montreux, Switzerland, 8-10 March 1996
Human rights professionals are coming up with new ideas on how to deal with
arms control. The March 8-10 -96 Montreux, Switzerland Symposium entitled
"The Medical Profession and the Effects of Weapons by the ICRC, International
Committee of the Red Cross included the following. "Mission Statement for
the Symposium. .Attempts to limit the development, design and transfer of
weapons have met with little success. It is possible that the future
will see epidemics of the effects of the weapons using acoustic beams or
electromagnetic waves. These weapons are being developed. It is not known
how their effects can be treated. .A framework for negotiation is
needed to which both military and humanitarian arguments can relate. A primary
consideration of the effects of weapons in terms of health provides just
such a framework. .Conclusions.The participants agreed that to study and
communicate the effects of weapons on health both present and future was
primarily the responsibility of the medical profession. .the global epidemic
of the effects of weapons should be viewed as a public health issue;
the effects of weapons on health provided an objective means of
communication and a common language among doctors, lawyers, scientists and
military decision-makers; weapons of the future should be assessed in terms
of their effects on health; .Recommendations of the Symposium
.2. a special meeting should be convened to establish the means whereby
the effects of weapons on health, including their psychological effects,
can be objectively assessed to facilitate a proper balance with military
utility; this meeting should also address means of assessing the effects
of future weapons."
The 3-16-96 Lancet, Vol. 347, p. 749, gave a positive review of the Montreux
conference. The article stated that "the first hurdle to overcome is the
popular misconception that the methods, means and targets of warfare are
unlimited. In fact, targeting of civilians is illegal under international
law, as is the causing of "superfluous injury" or "unnecessary suffering
to combatants." It discussed the importance of the organization WHO, World
Health Organization "with its mandate to monitor and publish international
public-health trends, is the only agency capable of mobilizing the necessary
resources". There is a need to collect epidemiological data on the
public health aspect of the effects of weapons. The article concluded that
"the time for coordinated and robust clinical involvement in prevention’s
has begun".

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 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 website for
details.

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.

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.

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."

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."
."The 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 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.

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."

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 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 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 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.

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.

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.

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 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 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 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."

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
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.

Innovation: in the end, victims must try anything that
might work and is realistic
Ed Light, founder of the Mind Control Forum is a victim. He loves computers
and applied his talents to fighting mind control. As a result of his informative
world wide web internet website, The
Mind Control Forum [archived here],
the movement has grown. Eleanor White has used her many talents to further
the cause in very creative ways. Please see her website at
www.raven1.net. Electromagnetic
weapons technology is in the hands of very fallible human beings. As a result,
victims experience the down side of technology and are the real heroes by
simply surviving.

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

Chapter 13. Conclusion: Main points
and editorial comments
World-wide, victims describe the same set of
symptoms:
say torture is hi-tech , worse than ever
Victims are coming forward from all over the world with stories
of hi tech electromagnetic torture. There are reports of nonconsensual
experimentation, counterintelligence programs, political repression and mass
population behavior control. Cahra has networked with over 500 victims since
it was formed by three victims in 1996. Russia has counterpart organizations
of thousands of victims and since the break up of the Soviet Union, mainstream
soviet press has published numerous articles. A 1998 TV program provides
a good description of Russian experiments and it matches U.S. victim allegations
Entitled "Secret Russia", the program is Geheimes Russland (TV-Tagestip,
Der Dienstag im ZDF: 22-12.98-22.15), described the following, "Since
the years of Soviet rule people have spoken furtively in Russia of
secret research and experiments, which the Army and the KGB sponsor. "In
the future are we going to be remote-controlled robots?"
Contents | Top
Technology has advanced but human behavior has not kept
pace
Briefly, electromagnetic technology works on the theory that the mind and
body are an electromagnetically mediated biophysics system and the
electromagnetic signals from outside sources can mimic the mind and body's
electromagnetic signals and therefore a weapon can be developed based on
these principles. Microwave hearing is reported by many victims and is an
intelligence tool, according to the many government documents. There has
been Soviet and American interest in this weapon as described in the following
article. The Federal Times, Dec. 13, 1976 article entitled "Microwave Weapons
Study by Soviets Cited." stated, "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."
There are numerous examples of the correlation of government documents with
victims allegations from the 1950s to the present. Just one is the following.
FOIA CIA 1959 MKULTRA, Subproject 119, "To make a critical review of literature
and scientific developments related to the recording, analysis and interpretation
of bioelectric signals from the human organism and activation of human behavior
by remote means." There is abundant evidence of victims claims but the political
will to stop this abuse is not there, just as in the case of radiation
experimentation.
The twentieth century has been called the bloodiest century in the history
of man. (See Cahra website nonlethal weapons paper). Human experimentation
reflects this trend. There are now excellent books documenting the international
history of human experimentation. Examples of the rationalization of government
scientists who conducted horrendous experiments has notably occurred in the
United States, Germany and Japan. Victims have now compiled stronger information
to document a convergence of the complaints and allegations by victims for
over 50 years, to the history of UN disarmament documentation and the development
of electromagnetic technology and neuroscience. Here is one of the best articles
on a classified electromagnetic weapons arms race. 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 stricly 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. 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."
It is highly probable that the discovery of the brain is used for military
and intelligence purposes and space exploration by the U.S. military and
other major superpowers.
Victims are organizing. Dr. Bertell and a medical doctor are conducting a
study of claims by survivors. The World Organization Against Torture, with
funding from the Ford Foundation and several human rights organizations has
stated that this issue deserves an unbiased investigation. The European Union
has passed a 1999 law on electromagnetic technology that would manipulate
human beings. Not only the numerous uncounted survivors, but several
independent professionals are putting their time and effort into this issue.
Through facts, information and hard evidence, nonconsensual experimentation
will eventually be exposed.

Human rights abuse in the United States: a fifty year
cold war secret
The U.S. government does not want to admit that human rights abuse in the
U.S. are as horrific as anywhere in the world. Political control and torture
are now hi tech and computerized. Instead of developing medical cures,
this classified scientific discovery of the electromagnetic system of the
brain and nervous system has been weaponized just as the secrets of the atom
and DNA have been used for the atomic bomb and germ warfare.
I have no hope that the U.S. government will own up to the ongoing classified
cold war abuses until they are caught red handed. The history of secret
government experimentation and survivor’s lack of response from the
government would support this conclusion. New York Times Magazine, 8-31-97,
page 38 stated: "For decades, those who claimed to be victims of
clandestine radiation experiments conducted by the United States Government
were dismissed as paranoid."
Eventually, the U.S. government will be unable to contain this issue; this
is the pattern in the past secret radiation experiments and the Moscow Embassy
microwave bombardment. When radiation experiments were exposed in 1993, the
government dodged the lawsuits and President Clinton gave a feeble public
apology knowing that current secret experiments are continuing to this day.
To appease the public, the government settled a few of victims claims. There
was a Clinton executive order regulating classified government research and
in this act the public was sold the hope that radiation type experiments
would never happen again. The hope is false. Harlan Girard’s legal complaint
alleged that "government agencies are compelled by a March 1997 presidential
directive to develop regulations preventing nonconsensual human testing.
The government, in reply, holds that the executive order cited by the
group does not have the force of law and, thus, does not confer a private
right of action upon the plaintiffs."
In comparison to the murders committed, the ruined lives, the profits of
billions of defense dollars, this is an insult to victims. The irradiation
of Moscow Embassy employees as reported in the 1988 AP article above is similar.
Dr. Pollack, the State Department medical consultant, said that
‘’’without that Hopkins study, State would be sitting in the
soup, because there were about $250 million in tort actions on the books.
And every one of those has been withdrawn without a penny being
paid." .The study released in Nov. 1978’, concluded that "no
convincing evidence was discovered that would directly implicate the exposure
to microwave radiation by the employees at the Moscow embassy in the causation
of any adverse health effects as of the time of this analysis."
[Several experts on non-ionizing radiation disagree such as Steneck,
who cited a variety of studies that have been done over the past few years
.finding significant effects at very low radiation power levels."
My hope is that victims will learn from this reprehensible behavior by U.S.
government, as seen in the Agent Orange, Vietnam vet case, radiation
experimentation and the Moscow Embassy employees and the microwave bombardment.
The U.S. government has a policy of unaccountability to others and a disregard
for the future except to exploit the rest of the world for their gain. As
history of experimentation has shown, the underdog may win small battles
but not the war. Learning from history is better than to deny this cold reality.
Victims should fight with every tool they can and use this knowledge to plan
a winning strategy.

National security law: numerous professionals say
it is used to hide crime, corruption and horrific human rights abuse
U.S. Representative Patricia Schroeder, Federation of Atomic Scientist Steven
Aftergood, University of Vermont law professor Stephen Dycus and more criticize
the antiquated and unconstitutional (according to legal scholars) national
security law. Citizen’s rights are abused and crimes are covered up
by national security law. After fifty years, this 1947 law is a cold war
relic that is in need of revision.
Victims cannot get the facts out to the public. The internet has helped slightly,
to overcome this major stumbling block. The 4-27, 5-3-92, p. 34 Washington
Post article by George Lardner, reported on a1992 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,"
This is one of the best articles for proving the existence of a highly classified
electromagnetic weapons program. A 7-7-97 US News and World Report article
on ‘Wonder Weapons’, stated: "And for a good 40 years the
U.S. military has quietly been pursuing [nonlethal electromagnetic] weapons
of this sort. Much of this work is still secret," Louis Slesin, a trade publisher
for the electromagnetic industry further stated, "People [in the military]
go silent on this issue more than any other issue. People just do not want
to talk about this."
For fifty years, electromagnetic military research has been tightly controlled
via the media, top scientists and government officials. Those who talk too
much lose government funding and there are incidents and rumors of worse
fates. For example, the unexplained deaths of 25 defense workers in England
in the 1980s was described in the Tony Collins book, "Open Verdict". He wrote,
"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."

U.S. government motive: a bloodless weapon better than
the atomic bomb, experts warn
The connection between victims of nonconsensual experimentation and the US
military philosophy is clear. The goal of avoiding politically unpopular
deaths in future wars and confrontations is met by electromagnetic and
neurological weapons which can psychologically control and break down the
enemy without leaving a trace. U.S. military objectives for psychological
warfare and weapons development match victim’s allegations of
experimentation and domestic counterintelligence programs. There are undoubtedly
programs to develop electromagnetic and neurological technology to control
brain function for counterintelligence purposes, in outer space conditions
and on the battlefield.
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."

A story of oppression: exploiting victims and billions
of dollars in profits
Experimentation on radiation victims was condoned at the highest levels of
government and the same cold war mentality has condoned electromagnetic and
mind control experimentation. There are billions of dollars and thousands
of professionals working on this technology under the national security act.
The bureaucracy that supports this technology is entrenched because of the
long-term, classified cold war development of this weapons program. Further,
because of the alleged abuses of the technology, the increasing arrogance
of the military and a US foreign policy without arms control, an escalating
hegemony is probable.
The top officials of many countries undoubtedly know about electromagnetic
and mind control technology, it is only the public that is in the dark.
Russia warned the world officially in 1979 UN disarmament documents.
There was no major protest against weapons of mass destruction
using electromagnetic radiation. Top officials of many countries
would have to know about or develop electromagnetic and mind control technology.

Decoding the Brain: Top scientists tied to government and
intelligence agencies worked on classified science
The evidence for the scientific basis of mind control technology, for the
‘code of the brain’ is supported by more examples such as described
in the book, "Computational Bioelectromagnetics" by David Copson, 1982. I.I.
Rabi Nobel prize winner, in New York Post, Dec 29th 1939 and his article
entitled "We are all Radio Receivers." is similar to the discovery
of the secrets of the atom by Einstein. Scientists discovered DNA, the code
of life; the theory of matter and the atom. There are compelling reasons
to believe that scientists have discovered the decoding of the brain and
consciousness for military purposes.
An article by Allan A. Needell entitled " I.I. Rabi, Lloyd V. Berkner and
the American Rehabilitation of European Science, 1945-1954"stated that
"Following the war, Rabi, with J. Robert Oppenheimer, was among the
most influential participants in the debate over the control of postwar American
atomic energy policy." The article continues, "[Rabi was ] chairman
of the "Scientific Adviser to the Policy Council" of the Pentagon’s
Joint Research and Development Board (JRDB). .Among its duties was
to advise the service secretaries (after 1948 the secretary of defense) on
issues of long-term planning as well as the implications of scientific and
technological advances for military strategy.".The advisers assisted the
founders of the Central Intelligence Group (forerunner of the CIA) in staffing
a scientific intelligence branch."
The public can decide if the available evidence is proof of victims claims.
Here is the 1988 AP wire story on the microwave bombardment of the U.S. Embassy
from 1953 to the present time. "Richard S. Cesaro, deputy director for advanced
sensors at the Pentagon’s Advanced Research Projects Agency, in an interview
prior to his death two years ago, contended that "in our experiments
we did some remarkable things. And there was no question in my mind that
you can get into the brain with microwaves. .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,"

A 50 year clash: The self-serving U.S. position, no proven
nonthermal electromagnetic health effects vs theRussian and East Block position,
a scientifically accepted fact
The ‘thermal effects’ of electromagnetic radiation are known. Microwave
ovens used to heat foods is an example. The ‘non-thermal’ effects
of electromagnetic radiation are very small amount of radiation and its effect
on the human body. Research on biological effects of electromagnetic radiation
is not in agreement with the long-term US policy that there are no nontheraml
electromagnetic radiation effects. There is a fifty year documentation of
US government efforts to withhold funding of nonthermal EMR research and
to discredit scientists working on this research. The 1979 Russian
UN document discussed nonthermal effects of electromagnetic radiation and
its potential use as a weapon. H.P. Schwan, A.S. Presman, Dr. Ross
Adey, B. Blake Levitt, court cases and books on electromagnetic health effects;
all discussed in detail the history of suppression of the nonthermal
electromagnetic radiation effects.
Here are examples of how the U.S. government conducts controversial national
security issues. The U.S. government handled the case of the Agent
Orange and Vietnam veteran controversy by suppressing scientific
studies. The irradiation of the Moscow Embassy and the resultant
ill embassy employees were not compensated as a result of a tainted, government
funded study. Radiation victims and Area 51 toxic court cases could not get
the classified proof of their claim. The U.S. government is using similar,
unjust and exploitative methods in the current case. The U.S. government
controls most of the funding of electromagnetic research and suppresses
scientific evidence for national security purposes. This is a major reason
for the controversy today over health effects of electromagnetic exposure
from power lines, cellular towers and cellular phones. The government
has funded research in agreement with their military interests while the
public is at risk.

Unclassified electromagnetic technology
There are examples of the intelligence and medical community’s use of
nonthermal electromagnetic radiation effects. This adds to the support for
nonthermal effects of electromagnetic radiation on human beings. There are
CIA documents, a NextMed2 Conference, an ElectroMed99 conference and an NIMH
Neuroscience Research Report.
In addition, there are numerous examples of neurological research and the
interest of intelligence agencies.
Just one example given in this book is the National Institute of Health receives
requests from intelligence agencies for ways to incapacitate the central
nervous system remotely, US News and World Report, 1997. There are
several world class scientists who have made predictions and warnings of
mind control technology over the last fifty years. One example of
the interest in neuroscience; 25,000 brain scientists attend Los Angeles,
California, 1998 conference on news ways to map the brain.
The next two articles are profound in their implications. This is what
scientists are reporting, not victims. 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 NYTimes 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 sensea negative
presence, an alien. If you interfere with the opiate pattern, people get
very irritated,"

There is documented evidence that the US government has kept this secret
for over 50 years and the US public cannot wait for the US government to
tell them; it may be too late by then. The facts, the motive and the
50 years of technological development add up and it makes sense that the
discovery of the secrets of matter by Albert Einstein and the DNA code by
Dr. Francis Crick and others are public knowledge but the research on the
secrets of the mind is a classified military secret. "We’re
All Radio Stations, .All Atoms, in Humans or in Steel, Found to Emit and
Receive Long Waves" the 1939 New York Post stated. The nobel prize winner,
I.I. Rabi proclaimed that "Every living thing on earth is a radio broadcasting
and receiving set unconsciously sending out and receiving long-wave wireless
messages." Rabi, along with Einstein was voted as one of the
‘immortal’ scientists of our time by a Fortune magazine poll of
seventeen nobel laureates. He has been a top presidential and government
advisor up to the 1970s. Like the discovery of the atomic bomb, scientists
around the world made the same discovery around the same time, in this case,
1939. In Russia, Vernadsky and others were stating ideas similar to Rabi’s
fundamental discovery.
The evidence is growing. There are numerous allegations that electromagnetic
and neurological technology is currently being used in programs of nonconsensual
human experimentation, in domestic and foreign intelligence projects and
for military action. The facts given in this book, such as 1979 UN Russian
documentation of nonthermal effects of electromagnetic radiation for weapons
use and the US ‘nonthermal effects have not been proven’ policy
coupled with suppression of government funds for nonthermal effects research,
are powerful evidence of a 50 year U.S. cold war cover story.
Here is an intriguing quote which a reporter could investigate. Steven Heims
wrote"Cybernetics Group" book, Pg. 256, about Gregory Bateson, a famous
anthropologist once married to Margaret Mead, (Mead also attended the CIA
sponsored, 1950s Joshiah Macy consciousness conferences described above).
"I looked up Bateson in Sea Life Park in 1968. I had written to him in connection
with my interest in the history of the Macy cybernetics meetings. His response
was, "There is certainly a piece of scientific history to be dug out
of these meetings-I believe more profound and dramatic than The Double
Helix." [The Double Helix refers to DNA]

The whole picture of a classified new weapon more powerful than the bomb
has never been presented to the public in U.S. mainstream press. The microwave
bombardment of the Moscow Embassy began in 1953 and it would seem likely
that this was the beginning of the electromagnetic arms race between Russia
and the U.S. The fears about development of new weapons of mass destruction
has already been reported by all of the recent Soviet leaders in foreign
publications and this has been lost in the other major problems of
the world. In addition, international diplomatic overtures involving
electromagnetic weapons include the 1977-1996 proposals to ban "new weapons
of mass destruction using new technologies by the Russians. The public protests
via the Moscow Embassy microwave bombardment from 1953 to at least 1988 and
the public display of the Russian woodpecker signal which the Russians broadcast
in the 1970s, ( see previous Cahra website articles) were diplomatic war
games. From the 1950s to the 1990s, Russians protested U.S. mind control
weapons, to no avail.
President Clinton or any president would arguably not have the clout to face
the intelligence agencies or the Pentagon over such a deeply entrenched program
involving careers and billions of dollars. After fifty years, mind control
technology is in the hands of many, mainly the intelligence agencies, the
pentagon, defense corporations and scientific research centers. The Jan.11-17,
1993 Defense News article by Barbara Opall stated,
"Known as acoustic psycho-correction, the capability to control minds and
alter behavior of civilians and soldiers may soon be shared with U.S. military,
medical and political officials, according to U.S. and Russian sources.
.Therefore, the Russian authors have proposed a bilateral Center for
Psycho-technologies where U.S. and Russian authorities could monitor and
restrict the emerging capabilitites."
Mind control is here to stay. It is only a matter of when it will be declassified
and how? As Dr. Robert Becker, the two time Nobel prize nominee said, it
may be too late to stop it.
The classified electromagnetic arms race is over, the U.S. won There are
no major enemies of the United States. It is doubtful that the many countries
of the world could agree and coordinate efforts against the United States.
It would seem that the United States does and will have world control. This
weapon would make it possible.
It is safe to predict that the next world war will be bloodless and silent.
Nobody will talk about the electromagnetic weapons or how powerful they are
because everyone has something to lose. Any victim will tell you, that they
would not wish this weapon upon their worst enemy, ( except the perpetrators).
So everyone keeps silent. Only the USSR publicly protested with
electromagnetic weapons against the United States, since the 1950s up to
the 1990s.
Incidents, like the break up of the Soviet Union, even that, did not affect
mind control international policy. It is unlikey that a future incident
will reveal electromagnetic mind control weapons, based on the Russian diplomatic
protests via the Moscow signal and the Russian woodpecker signal etc.
In addition, the U.S. would not publicly reveal the purpose of the
Moscow signal. In 1970 -90s UN disarmament documents, the Russians asked
for the control of the development of weapons using nonthermal effects of
electromagnetic radiation. They warned of powerful new electromagnetic weapons
of mass destruction while the U.S. maintained an opposite policy from the
1940s to this day , nonthermal health effects have not been proven.
Unfortunately, electromagnetic weapons are not a political hot potato because
world opinion does not significantly influence the U.S. The U.S. is in an
ideal position for expanding its power. The public does not know about the
weapon. If it is used there is no proof tying it to the U.S. and everyone
knows not to talk about it or they may be the next victim. One of the many
rumors is that Naval Admiral Boorda, who committed suicide, tried to reveal
this technology and became a victim of it. (see strategy section above).
The U.S. has nothing to lose, nothing to fear. There is everything to gain
in keeping this technology classified. There are crimes to cover up. The
weapons are powerful intelligence tools which maintain U.S. superiority.
Victims can count on the expansion of national security law.

Progress: victim’s plans for the future
There are realistic strategies and solutions for dealing with the problem
of nonconsensual experimentation using electromagnetic and neurological
technologies. Victims must organize: a fundamental step in the process. Victims
can work on projects such as codifying, (i.e. making) the Nuremberg Code
into U.S. law with punishment for illegal experimentation. National and
international laws on new technologies such as electromagnetic weapons need
to be passed.
The legal, congressional, executive, human rights groups and media; all are
more influenced by money and power than the relatively powerless victims.
None of the above listed will take on a losing battle with the U.S. government
over a current national security issue. But, victims can work on a grassroots
solution. Victims can learn from the government’s treatment of Moscow
Embassy employees who were bombarded with microwaves, Agent Orange veterans
and radiation experimentation victims. The U.S. government has a history
of suppressing scientific research that is damaging and abusing the national
security act to cover up crime. There has been progress made with newly
declassified information and a steady increase in victim’s allegations.
There is a high value placed on money and the low comparative value placed
on human lives, especially during the cold war and continuing today in the
United States, therefore victim’s allegations have been ignored. When
there is a critical mass of victims, then something will finally officially
be done about the ‘problem’. But victims should learn from the
past and plan a strategy for change. Unfortunately it is a slow process and
can hardly be called justice. Of course it is still worth the effort.

International justice: with hard work and strategic planning
It seems clear that an international solution is worth pursuing. It is an
avenue around the unethical US national security act. The United States has
a poor human rights record and is considered to have a double standard and
is losing credibility. But there is no challenge to the US and it’s
top position in the world. International human rights codes such as the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights have influenced public opinion. Under a UN world
court decision, the atomic bomb was ruled to be an illegal weapon. Even though
governments continue to develop it, the UN world court decision is progress
towards the goal of global peace.
The United States has opposed efforts to establish an international criminal
court. The United States is the superpower and has a major effect on the
world. The United States will probably continue with its current, short sighted
hegemonic behavior. Criminal charges for war crimes in Rhwanda and Bosnia
and against Pinochet under international law is encouraging. Accountability
for human rights abuses will diminish future abuses.

The political will during the cold war condoned nonconsensual experimentation
as the only feasible means to ensure the national security of the U.S. The
rationale was to sacrifice a few victims to save the country from Russian
dominance in the race to develop mind control weapons. The political will
today has shifted to an economic dominance whereby victims are still sacrificed
for progress in space exploration and better technology to ensure a military
edge. There is no end in sight for the victims of this Holocaust.
When nonconsensual experimentation first happened to me, I was sure that
I had a big court case because it violated the U.S. constitution and every
fundamental right I was entitled to as a U.S. citizen. I felt that the democratic
system worked and that in time, I would stop the nonconsensual experimentation.
But it was not that simple and I was naive. Democracy is a system with flaws
and problems. In my opinion, national security law is a cold war legal relic
that has seriously harmed the system of democracy. It is up to the public
and victims to change their government-imposed fate. The top leaders of this
era knowingly condoned, planned and used science and technology for unimaginable
evil, after the lesson of Nazi experiments and the Holocaust. The legacy
of the development of mind control will be another dark spot in human history.
The weapon has not been used in a major war and the implications of its power
has only affected the victims. But some day, the world will know the extent
of this issue. World opinion will probably decide that war has been avoided
with mind control weapons and therefore many lives were saved, These are
some of the complicated issues and harsh realities worth exploring as victims
continue to fight for their lives.
