_WAVE YOUR BRAIN GOODBYE_

Every Senator and Congressional representative has a "wavie" file.  So
do many state representatives.  Wavies have even pled their case to
private institutions such as the Christic Institute.  And
who are the wavies?  They claim to be victims of clandestine
bombardment with non-ionizing radiation -- or microwaves.  They
report sudden changes in psychological states, alteration of sleep
patterns, intracerebral voices and other sounds, and
physiological effects.  Most people never realize how many wavies there
are in this country.  I've spoken to a number of wavies myself.

The fact is that the literature on the behavioral effects of microwaves,
extra-low-frequencies (ELF) and ultra-sonics is such that we cannot
blithely dismiss ALL such claims.   For decades, American science and
industry tried to convince the population that microwaves could have no
adverse effects on human beings at sub-thermal levels -- in other words,
the attitude was, "If it can't burn you, it can't hurt you."  This
approach became increasingly difficult to defend as reports mounted of
microwave-induced physiological effects.  Technicians described
"hearing" certain radar installations; users of radar telescopes began
developing cataracts at an appallingly high rate.

The Soviets had long recognized the strange and sometimes subtle effects
of these radio frequencies, which is why their exposure standards have
always been much stricter.  Soviet microwave bombardment of the U.S.
Embassy in Moscow prompted the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency's Project PANDORA (later renamed), whose ostensible goal was to
determine whether these pulsations (reportedly 10 cycles per second,
which puts them in the alpha range) could be used for the purposes of
mind control. I suspect that the "war on Tchaikowsky Street," as I call
it, was used, at least in part, as a cover story for DARPA mind
control research, and that the stories floated in the news (via, for
example, Jack Anderson's column) about Soviet remote brainwashing served
the same propaganda purposes as did the bleatings of Edward Hunter
during the 1950s.  What can low-level microwaves do to the mind?

According to a DIA report released under the Freedom of information
Act, microwaves can induce metabolic changes, alter brain functions,
and disrupt behavior patterns. PANDORA discovered that pulsed microwaves
can create leaks in the blood/brain barrier, induce heart seizures, and
create behavioral disorganization.  In 1970, a RAND Corporation
scientist reported that microwaves could be used to promote insomnia,
fatigue, irritability, memory loss, and hallucinations.  Perhaps the
most significant work in this area has been produced by Dr. W. Ross Adey
at the University of Southern California.  He determined that behavior
and emotional states can be altered without electrodes -- simply by
placing the subject in an electromagnetic field. By directing a carrier
frequency to stimulate the brain and using amplitude modulation to
"shape" the wave into a mimicry of a desired EEG frequency, he was able
to impose a 4.5 cps theta rhythm on his subjects -- a frequency which he
previously measured in the hippocampus during avoidance learning.  Thus,
he could externally condition the mind towards an aversive reaction.
(Adey has also done extensive work on the use of electrodes in
animals.) According to another prominent microwave scientist, Allen
Frey, other frequencies could -- in D4 Monroe, METHOD OF INDUCING AND
MAINTAINING VARIOUS STAGES OF SLEEP IN THE HUMAN BEING, granted May

an audio signal is generated comprising a familiar pleasing repetitive
sound modulated by an EEG sleep pattern.

The controversial researcher Andrijah Puharich asserts that "a weak (1
mW 4 Hz magnetic sine wave will modify human brain waves in 6 to 10
seconds. The psychological effects of a 4 Hz sine magnetic wave are
negative -- causing dizzyness, nausea, headache, and can lead to
vomiting." Conversely, an 8 Hz magnetic sine wave has beneficial
effects. His claims here seem in line with the findings of
less-flamboyant experimenters.  As investigative journalist Anne
Keeler writes:  Specific frequencies at low intensities can
predictably influence sensory processes...pleasantness-unpleasantness,
strain-relaxation, and excitement-quiescence can be created
with the fields.  Negative feelings and avoidance are strong
biological phenomena and relate to survival.  Feelings are the
true basis of much "decision-making" and often occur as subthreshold
impressions...ideas including names can be synchronized with the
feelings that the fields induce.

Adey and compatriots have compiled an entire library of frequencies and
pulsation rates which can affect the mind and nervous system.  Some of
these effects can be extremely bizarre.  For example, engineer Tom
Jarski, in an attempt to replicate the seminal work of F. Cazzamali,
found that a particular frequency caused a ringing sensation in
the ears of his subjects -- who felt strangely compelled to BITE
the experimenters!.  On the other hand, the diet-conscious may be
intrigued by the finding that rats exposed to ELF waves failed
to gain weight normally.  For our present purposes, the most
significant electromagnetic research findings concern microwave
signals modulated by hypnoidal EEG frequencies. Microwaves can act
much like the "hemi-synch" device previously described-- that is,
they can entrain the brain to theta rhythms.

I need not emphasize the implications of remotely synchronizing the
brain to resonate at a frequency conducive to sleep, or to
hypnosis. Trance may be remotely induced -- but can it be directed?
Yes. Recall the intracerebral voices mentioned earlier in our
discussion of Delgado. The same effect can be produced by "the wave."
Frey demonstrated in the early 1960s that microwaves could produce
booming, hissing, buzzing, and other intracerebral static (this
phenomenon is now called "the Frey effect"); in 1973, Dr.Joseph Sharp,
of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, expanded on Frey's work
in an experiment where..........
