What the Public Should Know About Electromagnetic Frequency Weapons. The U.S. public has a right to know about a currently classified weapons program. There are many corroborating articles to confirm the existence of electromagnetic frequency (EMF) behavior or mind control weapons in the U.S. and Russian arsenals.(1) There is also evidence that there has been a secret race between the two superpowers to gain an upper edge and control the use of this revolutionary technology.(2) Like the atomic bomb, the technology will change our perception of the world. The U.S. public also has the right to determine the policy and use of this technology. They have the democratic right to express their opinion on issues that deeply affect their lives, but unfortunately mind control weapons are classified and are being developed without public input. Like nuclear war protesters who expressed their views and significantly affected arms control policy, there is a need for public debate on EMF technology. This is a very brief overview of a complicated and serious situation. The best proof of this ongoing EMF arms race would be from the U.S. government, but the technology is classified under the National Security Act. The U.S. public was told about the secret development of the atomic bomb after it was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. It is inevitable that history will repeat itself and the U.S. public will learn about the EMF arms race when the weapons are used or leaked to the press. In all likelihood, only public protest can alter this course. Behavior control and electromagnetic weapons have only been in the public eye recently. Janet Reno, the U.S. Attorney General, has discussed non-lethal weapons in newspapers such as the _Wall_ Street_Journal_.(3) The U.S. government is barely revealing the tip of the iceberg. There has been a quantum leap of technology and many articles confirm that the technology is capable of computer-brain interface and control of every nerve in the human body. The mind control technology is as mind boggling as the landing of the man on the moon. The physics and functioning of the brain is known on a biomedical level and can be highly controlled. The implications of its use as a weapon are as serious as the consequences of the use of the atomic bomb. The motive of superpowers to develop and control the use of mind control technology becomes obvious. Several major publications are discussing behavior control weapons.(4) It is described as electromagnetic technology and in little detail. Research is highly classified and scientists face prison terms and penalties for disclosing classified weapons research. But as a result of the breakup of the Soviet Union, international and Russian newspapers have published several articles on mind control technology.(5) For example, the _Moscow_ Times_ describes "debilitating high frequency radio waves, hypnotic computer-scrambled sounds and mind-bending electromagnetic fields, as well as an ultrasound gun capable of killing a cat at fifty meters..."(6) And there is evidence of the use of mind control technology on a large scale. In _Stolitsa_, a major Russian newspaper; "Victor Sedletsky, a scientist from Kiev, claims that the practical testing of a 'new kind of weapons' based on the impact of certain frequencies on the human body occurred back in 1965. Besides, the development of an entirely new radar system allowing one to control any place on the globe began in 1982. Such equipment could be used for creating a 'psychotronic field' for brain-control."(7) The existence of mind control technology is documented by numerous independent sources. These are not isolated rumors. Many articles describe scientific research on the brain. In the _Los_Angeles_Times_, March 20, 1976 by Norman Kempster entitled "Mind Reading Machine..."; "Scientists working under agency contracts at the University of Illinois, UCLA, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester, and in laboratories at other facilities have been able to determine an individual's alertness from his own brain waves...It may be only a matter of time before the machines will be able to read a person's brain waves to determine just what he is thinking." Brain research as it relates to mind control and EMF technology has been described since the 1960s and it is logical to conclude that the Former Soviet Union and the U.S. would consider the military use of this research. Books and articles discuss the history of behavior control and related areas of research by both governments. Most U.S. citizens have read about the Soviet and Chinese brainwashing scare after the Korean war. As a result the CIA conducted LSD and behavior control experiments which were described in the 1970s in executive and congressional investigations.(8) Russia has been a very closed society but psychic research programs are documented in unclassified literature. In response, the CIA conducted psychic research, according to a 1995 CIA report called Stargate.(9) And there is substantial evidence of EMF research for use as weapons but it is not general public knowledge. Some readers can remember Jack Anderson's expose' on the microwave bombardment of the U.S. embassy by Russia in 1972. As a result, the CIA developed Project Pandora to see if there were psychoactive effects from the electromagnetic radiation of the embassy. The U.S. public has no knowledge of the classified findings of this study although other sources have documented psychoactive effects from EMF. There is a tremendous amount of scientific and military literature on this topic if one knows the keywords and where to look. Many factors point to the possibility of an EMF arms race and the motivations of the superpowers. Weapon technology is advancing rapidly. Some examples are blinding lasers, pinpoint accuracy missile targeting and chemical weapons. The next weapons in the history of warfare will include the complicated EMF and behavior control technologies. The mind control arms race winner will have the capability to control the world. Therefore, if the opponent develops behavior control weapons, then the U.S. or Russian government would be negligent to its citizens if they did not also. The picture of why, how and who would develop the mind control weapons becomes clear, in spite of the National Security Act. The U.S. public should be aware of the probable misuse of EMF technology. Radiation experiments on unwitting human subjects after the development of the atomic bomb were classified and only became general public knowledge in 1994, when Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary declassified documents that verified the federal government's involvement. There is already evidence of an EMF weapon testing program involving nonconsenting human subjects. Possible solutions include the revision of the National Security law so that radiation, EMF or any experimentation on human subjects is conducted and monitored within the law. Another example of abuse was the use of microwave crowd control weapons on the Greenham Commons nuclear protesters in the 1980s. Monitoring and investigative panels are needed to prevent this pattern human rights abuse as described above. The above facts and events are part of the mounting proof of a mind control arms race between the former Soviet Union and the United States. Interested readers can explore this further on their own or they can contact the author for more information. The main point is to alert people to the consequences of a very serious issue.
