Some Aspects of Anti Personnel
Electromagnetic Weapons Source: Deep Black Lies THE MEDICAL PROFESSION AND THE EFFECTS OF WEAPONS
February 1996 ©
Background - 1940 through 1995
The background to the development of anti-personnel
electromagnetic weapons can be traced by to the early-middle 1940's
and possibly earlier. The earliest extant reference, to my knowledge,
was contained in the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey (Pacific Survey,
Military Analysis Division, Volume 63) which reviewed Japanese
research and development efforts on a "Death Ray".
Whilst not reaching the stage of practical application,
research was considered to be sufficiently promising to warrant the
expenditure of Yen 2 million during the years 1940-1945. Summarizing
the Japanese efforts allied scientists concluded that a ray apparatus
might be developed that could kill unshielded human beings at a
distance of 5 to 10 miles. Studies demonstrated that, for example,
automobile engines could be stopped by tuned waves as early as
1943.[1] It is, therefore, reasonable to suppose that this technique
has been available for a great many years? Research on living
organisms ( mice and ground hogs) revealed that waves from 2 meters to
60 centimeters in length caused hemorrhage of lungs, whereas waves
shorter than two meters destroyed brain cells.
However, experiments in behaviour modification and mind
manipulation have a grisly past. Nazi doctors at the Dachau
concentration camp conducted involuntary experiments with hypnosis and
narco-hypnosis - using the drug mescaline - on inmates. Additional
research was conducted at Aushwitz, using a range of chemicals
including various barbiturates and morphine derivatives. Many of
these experiments proved fatal. Following the conclusion of the war
the U.S. Naval Technical Mission was tasked with obtaining pertinent
industrial and scientific material that had been produced by the Third
Reich and which may be of benefit to U.S. interests. Following a
lengthy report the Navy instigated Project CHATTER in 1947. Many of
the Nazi scientists and medical doctors who conducted these and other
hideous experiments were later recruited by the U.S. Army and worked
out of Heidelberg prior to being secretly relocated to the United
States under the Project PAPERCLIP programme. Under the leadership of
Dr. Hubertus Strughold, 34 ex Nazi scientists accepted "Paperclip"
contracts, authorised by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and were put to
work at Randolph Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. By 1953 the CIA,
US Navy and the US Army Chemical Corps were conducting their own
narco-hypnosis programmes on unwilling victims that included
prisoners, mental patients, foreigners, ethic minorities and those
classified as sexual deviants.[2]
It was not until the middle or late 1970's that the
American public became aware of a series of hitherto secret programmes
that had been conducted over the preceding two decades by the military
and intelligence community.[3] Primarily focusing on narco-hypnosis
these covert programmes were extensive and were assigned project
titles: MKULTRA, MKDELTA, MKNAOMI, MKSEARCH (MK being understood to
stand for Mind Kontrol), BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE and CHATTER. The
principal aim of these and associated programmes was the development
of a reliable "programmable" assassin. Secondary aims were the
development of a method of citizen control.[4] Particularly relevant
was Dr. Jose Delgado's secret work directed towards the creation of a
"psycho-civilised" society by use of a "stimoceiver."[5] Delgado's
work was seminal and his experiments on human and animals demonstrated
that electronic stimulation can excite extreme emotions including
rage, lust, fatigue etc. In his paper "Intracerebral Radio
Stimulation and recording in Completely Free Patients" , Delgado
observed that: "Radio Stimulation on different points in the amygdala
and hippocampus in the four patients produced a variety of effect,
including pleasant sensations, elation, deep thoughtful concentration,
odd feelings, super relaxation (an essential precursor for deep
hypnosis [6]) coloured visions, and other responses." With regard to
the "coloured visions" citation, it is reasonable to conclude he was
referring to hallucinations - an effect that a number of so called
"victims" allude to.[7] As far back as 1969, Delgado predicted the
day would soon arrive when a computer would be able to establish
two-way radio communication with the brain, an event that first
occurred in 1974. Lawrence Pinneo, a neurophysiologist and electronic
engineer working for Stanford Research Institute (a leading military
contractor), "developed a computer system capable of reading a person'
s mind. It correlated brain waves on an electroencephalograph with
specific commands. Twenty years ago the computer responded with a dot
on a TV screen. Nowadays it could be the input to a stimulator (ESB)
in advanced stages using radio frequencies" [8]
In the event, narco-hypnosis was found, it is claimed,
to be less than reliable, although some writers and observers dispute
this.[9] Additional studies conducted by Dr. Ewen Cameron, and funded
by the CIA, were directed towards erasing memory and imposing new
personalities on unwilling patients. Cameron discovered that
electroshock treatment caused amnesia. He set about a programme that
he called "de-patterning" which had the effect of erasing the memory
of selected patients. Further work revealed that subjects could be
transformed into a virtual blank machine (Tabula Rasa) and then be
re-programmed with a technique which he termed "psychic driving".
Such was the bitter public outrage, once his work was revealed (as a
result of FOIA searches) that Cameron was forced to retire in
disgrace.
Of interest too is Dr. John C. Lilly[10] who was asked
by the Director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to
brief the CIA, FBI, NSA and other military intelligence services on
his work using electrodes to stimulate, directly, the pleasure and
pain centres of the brain. According to Lilly he refused. However,
as revealed in his book he continued to do "useful" work for the
national security apparatus. However, in terms of timing this is
interesting for these events took place in 1953. Another scientists,
Eldon Byrd, who worked for Naval Surface Weapons Office was
commissioned in 1981 to develop electromagnetic devices for purposes
including "riot control", clandestine operations and hostage
removal.[11] From 1965 through to 1970, Defense Advanced Projects
Research Agency (DARPA), with up to 70-80% funding provided by the
military, set in motion operation PANDORA to study the health and
psychological effects of low intensity microwaves with regard to the
so called "Moscow signal". This project appears to have been quite
extensive and included (under US Navy funding) studies demonstrating
how to: induce heart seizures, create leaks in the blood brain barrier
and production of auditory hallucinations. Despite attempts to render
the Pandora programme invisible to scrutiny, FOIA filings revealed
memoranda of Richard Cesaro, Director, DARPA, which confirmed that the
programme's initial goal was to "discover whether a carefully
controlled microwave signal could control the mind." Cesaro urged
that these studies be made "for potential weapons applications."[12]
Following immense public outcry, Congress forbade
further research and demanded that these projects be terminated across
the board, but as Victor Marchetti, a former CIA agent later revealed,
the programmes merely became more covert with a high element of
"deniability" built in to them., and that CIA claims to the contrary
are a "cover story"[13] Despite the fact that many of the
aforementioned projects revolved around the use of narcotics and
hallucogenics, projects ARTICHOKE, PANDORA and CHATTER clearly
demonstrate that "psychoelectronics" were a high priority. Indeed the
author John Marks; anonymous informant (known humorously as "Deep
Trance") stated that beginning in 1963 mind control research strongly
emphasised electronics.
An obscure District of Columbia corporation called
Mankind Research Unlimited (MRU) and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Systems Consultants Inc. (SCI) operated a number of classified
intelligence, government and Pentagon contracts, specialising in,
amongst other things: "problem solving in the areas of intelligence
electronic warfare, sensor technology and applications." [14] MRU's
"capability and experience" is divided into four fields. These
include "biophysics - Biological Effects of Magnetic Fields",
"Research in Magneto-fluid Dynamics", "Planetary
Electro-Hydro-Dynamics" and "Geo-pathic Efforts on Living Organisms".
The latter focuses on the induction of illness by altering the
magnetic nature of the geography. Also under research were
"Biocybernetics, Psychodynamic Experiments in Telepathy", "Errors in
Human Perception" , "Biologically Generated Fields" "Metapsychiatry
and the Ultraconscious Mind" (believed to refer to experiments in
telepathic mind control), "Behavioural Neuropsychiatry" "Analysis and
Measurement of Human Subjective States" and "Human Unconscious
Behavioural Patterns". Employing some old OSS, CIA and military
intelligence officers, the company also engages the services of
prominent physicians and psychologists including E. Stanton Maxey,
Stanley R. Dean Berthold Eric Schwarz plus many more. MRU lists in
its Company Capabilities "brain and mind control."[15] Despite
vehement claims by MRU's chairman that it is not a "front organisation
for any branch of the United States Government."[16] one must treat
these claims with a great deal of scepticism.
There followed an extensive hiatus in available
information during the 1980's and up to the present day. This
initially appears to have closely paralleled Ronald Reagan's
Presidency and not surprisingly flowed onwards during President Bush's
term of office[17]. As a result the once user-friendly Freedom of
Information Act became less accessible and more bureaucratic. Search
costs soared and material that had been (or scheduled to be)
de-classified was reviewed and re-classified. This phenomenon is not
an unusual occurrence in the United States, and tends to shadow the
outward face of Congress. Public outrage leads to a temporary
liberalisation, but as public memory recedes (all too quickly) the old
institutionalised covert ways quickly re-engage. We thus move to more
recent times.
During 1989 CNN aired a programme on electromagnetic
weapons and showed a US government document that outlined a
contingency plan to use EM weapons against "terrorists". Prior to the
show a DoD medical engineer sourced a story claiming that in the
context of conditioning, microwaves and other modalities had regularly
been used against Palestinians. During 1993 Defense News, the
prestigious US weekly announced that Russian government was discussing
with American counterparts the transfer of technical information and
equipment known as "Acoustic Psycho-correction". The Russians claimed
that this device involves "the transmission of specific commands via
static or white noise bands into the human subconscious without
upsetting other intellectual functions." Experts said that
demonstrations of this equipment have shown "encouraging" results
"after exposure of less than one minute," and has produced "the
ability to alter behaviour on willing and unwilling subjects." The
article goes on to explain that combined "software and hardware
associated with the (sic) psycho-correction programme could be
procured for as little as US$80,000. The Russians went on to observe
that "World opinion is not ready for dealing appropriately with the
problems coming from the possibility of direct access to the human
mind." Acoustic psycho-correction dates back to the mid 1970's and
can be used to "suppress riots, control dissidents, demoralise or
disable opposing forces and enhance the performance of friendly
special operations teams.[18]" One US concern in relation to this
device, was aired by Janet Morris of the Global Strategy Council, a
Washington based think tank established by former CIA deputy director,
Ray Cline, who noted that "Ground troops risk exposure to
bone-conducting sound that cannot be offset by earplugs or other
protective gear." In recent months I met with and discussed Russian
research efforts, with a contact who had visited Russia earlier this
year. He, in turn, met with a number of Russian scientists who are
knowledgeable in this field. I have few doubts that the Defense News
article cited earlier is fundamentally accurate.
Dr. Ross Adey, in his pioneering work determined that
that emotional states and behaviour can be remotely influenced merely
by placing a subject in an electromagnetic field. By directing a
carrier frequency to stimulate the brain and using amplitude
modulation to shape the wave to mimic a desired EEG frequency he was
able to impose a 4.5 CPS theta rhythm on his subjects. Drs Joseph
Sharp and Allen Frey experimented with microwaves seeking to transmit
spoken words directly into the audio cortex via a pulsed-microwave
analog of the speaker's sound vibration. Indeed, Frey's work in this
field, dating back to 1960 gave rise to the so called "Frey effect"
which is now more commonly referred to as "microwave hearing."[19]
Within the Pentagon this ability is now known as "Artificial
Telepathy".[20] Adey and others have compiled an entire library of
frequencies and pulsation rates which can effect the mind and nervous
system[21]
During the siege of Waco, Texas, last year, FBI agents
discussed with Russian counterparts the use of Acoustic
psycho-correction on David Koresh and the Branch Davidians. In the
event it is understood that this contingency did not proceed.
However, some unusual EM weapons were deployed at Waco. BBC World
News, and additional FBI film-footage (in the possession of this
writer) show both the Russian equipment being demonstrated, as well as
previously unseen noise generator and an unusual low frequency strobe
array in use at Waco.
Have weapons of this nature been developed and field
tested? Judged by the number of individuals and groups coming forward
with complaints of harassment the answer, appears, to be yes. Kim
Besley, of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, has compiled a
fairly extensive catalogue of effects that have resulted from low
frequency signals emanating from the US Greenham Common base, and,
apparently, targeted upon the women protesters. These include:
vertigo, retinal bleeding, burnt face (even at night), nausea, sleep
disturbances, palpitations, loss of concentration, loss of memory,
disorientation, severe headaches, temporary paralysis, faulty speech
co-ordination, irritability and a sense of panic in non-panic
situations. Identical and similar effects have been reported
elsewhere and appear to be fairly common-place amongst so called
"victims". Many of these symptoms have been associated in medical
literature with exposure to microwaves and especially through low
intensity or non thermal exposures.[22] These have been reviewed by
Dr. Robert Becker, twice nominated for the Noebel Prize, and
specialist in EM effects. His report confirms that the symptoms
mirror those he would expect to see, had Microwave weapons been
deployed.
The Scientific American dated April 1994 carried an
article entitled "Bang! You're Alive" which briefly described some of
the known arsenal of Less Than Lethal weapons presently available.
These include Laser Rifles, low frequency ""infrasound" generators
powerful enough to trigger nausea or diarrhoea. Steve Aftergood of
the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) noted that Non-Lethal
weapons have been linked to "mind control" devices and that three of
the most prominent advocates of non lethality share an interest in
psychic phenomena[23]
Current Projects include SLEEPING BEAUTY, directed
towards the battlefield use of mind-altering electromagnetic weapons.
This project is headed by Jack Verona, a highly placed Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA) officer. Dr. Michael Persinger of
Laurentian University is also employed on the project. Other sources
have revealed a project entitled MONARCH which, supposedly, is
directed towards the deliberate creation of severe multiple
personality disorder.[24]
It is now the opinion of many that these and related
programmes have been brought under the banner of Non Lethal Weapons,
otherwise known as Less Than Lethal, which are now promulgated in
connection with the doctrine of Low Intensity Conflict, a concept for
warfare in the 21st century. It is clear that many of these Pentagon
and related LTL programmes operate under high classification. Others
consider many similar or related "black" programmes are funded from
the vast resources presently available under the US counter-drug law
enforcement policy which has a FY 1995 budget of $13.2 billion.[25]
Defense Secretary, William J Perry, issued a memorandum
on Non lethal Weapons dated 21 July 1994. This was of interest in
that it outlined a tasking priority list for use of these
technologies. Second on the list was "crowd control". Coming in at a
poor fifth was "Disable or destroy weapons or weapon
development/production processes, including suspected weapons of mass
destruction." It is therefore clear that Non Lethality is
fundamentally seen as anti-personnel rather than anti-material. In
July this year, Spotlight, a rightist and widely circulated US
newspaper reported that well placed DoD sources have confirmed a
classified Pentagon contract for the development of "high-power
electromagnetic generators that interfere with human brain waves."
The article cited the memorandum of understanding dated 1994 between
Attorney General, Janet Reno, and Defense Secretary, William Perry for
transfer of LTL weapons to the law enforcement sector. A budget of
under $50 million has been made available for funding associated
"black" programmes. Dr. Emery Horvath, a professor of physics at
Harvard University has stated in connection to the generator that
interferes with human brain waves that "These electronic
'skull-zappers' are designed to invade the mind and short circuit its
synapses...in the hands of government technicians, it may be used to
disorient entire crowds, or to manipulate individuals into self
destructive acts. It's a terrifying weapon."[26]
In a 1993 US Air Command and Staff College paper
entitled "Non Lethal Technology and Air Power, authors Maj. Jonathan
W. Klaaren (USAF) and Maj. Ronald S. Mitchell (USAF) outlined selected
NLT weapons. These included "Acoustic" (pulsed/attenuated
high-intensity sound, infrasound (very low frequency) and Polysound
(high volume, distracting) as well as High-power microwaves (HPM) that
possessed the capability of "deters/incapacitates people. These and
other classified weapons are being passed to domestic law enforcement
agencies as shown by the 1995 ONDCP (Office of National Drug Control
Policy) International Technology Symposium "Counter-Drug Law
Enforcement: Applied Technology for Improved Operational
Effectiveness" that outlined the "Transition of advanced military
technologies to the civil law enforcement environment" There are
some observers who fear that the burgeoning narcotics industry is an
ideal "cover" in which to "transit" Non Lethal Technologies to
domestic political tasks. Whether this is merely a misplaced
"Orwellian" fear remains to be seen. However, organised crime is so
globally "organised" that experts now believe it is impossible to
eradicate or even effectively combat.[27]
The foregoing gives some necessary background to the
origins and timing surrounding the development of anti-personnel
electromagnetic weapons, and in particular demonstrates that the USA
have an intense and long established interest in mind control and
behaviour modification that spans five decades. As we have seen,
fragmentary information has surfaced for brief spells, only to
disappear, once more, from public scrutiny. It remains to be said
that a great many advances in the realm of electromagnetic field
technology and mind control techniques have, apparently, been made
during the sixties, seventies and eighties. In particular, veterans
of the Vietnam war are still coming forward with bizarre stories,
which collectively (if true?) point to a leap in knowledge that
largely remains hidden behind the thick curtain of security
classification.[28]
Major Edward Dames, formerly with the Pentagon's Defence
Intelligence Agency until 1992, was a long serving member of the
highly classified operation GRILL-FLAME, a programme that focused on
some of the more bizarre possibilities of intelligence gathering and
remote interrogation. Known as "remote viewers" GRILL-FLAME personnel
possessed a marked psychic ability that was put to use "penetrating"
designated targets and gathering important intelligence on significant
figures. The programme operated with two teams; one working out of
the top secret NSA facility at Fort George Meade in Maryland, and the
other at SRI. Results are said to have been exemplary. Following the
Oliver North debacle the Secretary of Defense officially terminated
GRILL-FLAME fearing bad publicity were the programme to become known
to the public. The leading members of the project - including Dames -
immediately relocated to the privately owned and newly formed
Psi-Tech, and continue their work to this day, operating under
government contract. In the course of his work, Dames was (and
remains) close to many the leading figures and proponents
Anti-Personnel Electromagnetic Weapons especially those that operate
in the neurological field. During NBC's "The Other Side" programme,
Dames stated that "The US Government has an electronic device which
could implant thoughts in people." He refused to comment further.
The programme was broadcast during April of last year (1995).
This over-view is merely a "fragmentary" glimpse of
programmes that have been, and continue to be blanketed under tight
security classification. Where information was available through FOIA
filings, a great deal of additional information (in fact the greatest
bulk) was purposely destroyed or otherwise lost. However, this writer
considers that what is available is sufficient to draw the conclusion
that ongoing research, development and deployment of EM weapon systems
that impact on the biological functions of the body, or more
importantly, interfere with the human mind, are cause for the greatest
humanitarian concern.
In an age where the threat of global warfare has
diminished as a result of the easing of tension between east and west,
it can be anticipated that some form of introspection will occur in
the developed western nations. Societies that have been
generationally and economically honed for warfare do not, on the
whole, assume "for peace" production with such vigour and ability. Why
this is so, is not the subject of this paper. Unable to so readily
project the "shadow" outwards on to another nation, the enemy without
soon distils to become the enemy within?[29] In the United
States[30], for example, there is a rapidly developing trend of
co-operation between the military and law enforcement agencies in LTL
weaponry. Whilst it is clear that this is driven to some extent by
budgetary considerations, there remain legitimate concerns regarding
the longer term effect on democracy.
The reality of an increasingly (and increasing number
of) impoverished lower class as a result of "swords to shears"
economics, is certain to result in growing civil unrest, disobedience,
strife, inner city turmoil and quite possibly much worse[31]. Rather
that seeking to resolve the underlying causes of these tensions, it is
feared that governments will increasingly resort to more durable
measures to quell domestic dissent. Western industrial nations are
especially prone to these developments for a variety of reasons[32].
Less Than Lethal Anti Personnel weapons[33] are seen in
some influential quarters as being the ideal remedy for future
domestic disturbances of this magnitude[34]. The danger with such
possibilities is that western democracy may begin to fail, or suffer
such severe set-backs in its traditional democratic forms that it will
become increasingly repressive and oligarchic.[35] Armed with
innovative technological weapons that do not necessarily kill,[36] but
which render disenfranchised segments of society physically inactive,
emotionally stupefied and incapable of meaningful thought is a goal of
those who favour a "psycho-civilised society" This is a frightening
and all too realistic scenario. Whether by design or by default such
an outcome is nothing short of a dictatorship.
This is the real fear for the future of some classes of
Non Lethal weapon developments and the use to which they have been, or
may be put to.
ADDENDUM 23 APRIL 1996
Following the preparation of this paper and prior to its
publication by Dr. Nick Begich in "Earthpulse Flashpoints," a small
number of factual errors and miscellaneous comments have been received
and are now included below for the sake of accuracy.
1) Footnote 35. Naom Chomsky, in correspondence with
this writer, advises that: ".we don't really 'argue that democracy has
already been replaced.' Rather, that its functioning depends on an
authentic free press, and that it exists only in part. That there is
a one-party state - in the sense that there are only factions of 'the
business party' is not our idea; C. Wright Mills, among others, going
way back."
2) Chomsky also refers to my caveat about the
"Spotlight" article (see footnote 26) concerning the comments
ascribed to Dr. Horvath and observers that "It's not the kind of
comment that a Harvard physicist would be likely to make." It's such
an glaring observation that I wonder why I hadn't thought of it
myself. I still haven't heard back from Dr. Horvath, if indeed such a
person exists. This citation, therefore, needs to be taken with even
greater care. On the other hand, Dr. Steve Aftergood of the
Federation of American Scientists has now written to me advising:
"Spotlight is, to my mind, a thoroughly non-credible source (as you
suggest). Without being able to verify the rest of the article,
however, the quotation ascribed to me was accurate."
3) In a lengthy telephone call, British researcher,
Armen Victorian, pointed out a number of relevant and interesting
facts: A) Maj. General Stubblebine is no longer with Psi-Tech - he was
removed in a "palace coup" engineered, Armen says, by Major Ed. Dames
and Col. John Alexander. B) In addition to his (DoD backed) Ad Hoc
advisory role on Non Lethality for NATO, Alexander has now moved to
head up multi-millionaire, R. Bigelow's, new Nevada based National
Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS). Bigelow is recruiting "top
draw" personnel to study fringe science subjects including Remote
Viewing, UFO's etc. Jacques Vallee, the renown French born UFO
researcher is also part of the team. Armen will have a more in-depth
article on these matters published in a forthcoming issue of Robin
Ramsay's LOBSTER.
4) Project Monarch: Martin Cannon has more recently
written stating that he believes this project to be fabricated.

distasteful conclusion that motion, emotion and behaviour can be
directed by electrical forces and that humans can be controlled like
robots by push buttons." (Think 32 July-August 1966). Delgado was
funded by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). It is believed he
still works as a consultant for the US government.

[9] Marks notes that the vast bulk of CIA key documents
were illegally destroyed, in 1973, at the order of the then DCI,
Richard Helms. Other writers have noted the psychological profile of
Sirhan Beshara Sirhan noting a virtually impregnable "amnesia" which
lasts to this day. In 1968 Dr. George Eastabrooks (considered by some
to be the grand-daddy of hypnosis in warfare) told a reporter at the
Providence Evening Bulletin that he had conducted extensive hypnosis
work on behalf of the CIA, FBI and military intelligence. He went on
to say that the key to creating an effective spy or assassin rests in
"creating a multiple personality, with the aid of hypnosis", a
technique which Eastabrooks considered as "child's play. He went on
to suggest that "Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby could very well have
been performing through hypnosis." Of interest in this context was a
book written by Lincoln Lawrence (a pseudonym), a former FBI agent who
revealed the existence of a 350 page CIA document that outlined a
technique termed RHIC-EDOM (Radio Hypnosis Intra -Cerebral Control -
Electronic Dissolution of Memory. Certainly many of the above cited
CIA programmes were dedicated to electronically inducing amnesia. The
case studies of Dr. Ewen Cameron in this context remain the most
notable and the most chilling. )

are, understandably, shrouded in "maybes and what ifs" but is non the
less instructive when placed in context to PANDORA and other projects.
[13] In an interview with John Marks. CIA veteran
Miles Copeland admitted to a journalist prior to his death that "The
congressional subcommittees which went into this sort of thing got
only the barest glimpse." Likewise, hypnosis expert Milton Kline, a
veteran of covert experimentation in this field confirmed in 1977,
that his work for the government continued.

[17] Despite his apparently Democratic credentials
President Clinton is not a reformer in this regard. In lock-step with
all previous administrations dating back to the 1930's, President
Clinton's administration is heavily composed of individuals who are
members of the CFR or the Trilateral Commission (or both). There is
some evidence to suggest that President Clinton had a special and
close connection to the Central Intelligence Agency during his days as
Governor of Arkansas. Terry Reed, and ex CIA agent has revealed that
Clinton was an Agency "asset" during the period he worked for the CIA.
This may not be as preposterous as it appears in view of the "Starr
Commission's" decision to investigate this aspect of the President's
past.
[18] In connection with "enhancing abilities of friendly
forces" see numerous articles and exposé's on Col. John B. Alexander.
Alexander, a former Commander of Green Berets special forces was a
member of the US "Phoenix" assassination programme in Vietnam. Until
recently he was Director of Non lethal programmes in Los Alamos
National Laboratory, but has since resigned following, it is believed,
an undue amount of negative press. He remains NATO's adviser on NLD.
Alexander wrote a book an article ( and later co-authored a book
entitled The Warrior's Edge) published in Military Review in which he
outlined a number of hitherto "fringe" subjects - including
telepathy - that should be brought in to the battery of future
weapons. Alexander is dedicated to the development of a super-human
soldier with enhanced abilities leading to an "invincible warrior."
In his book he likens such a soldier to be a JEDI KNIGHT, from the
film Star Wars (Project Jedi). He has powerful sponsors including
Vice President Al Gore. Alexander is cited as being the grand daddy
of NLD. He is known to be heavily engaged in mind control and
psychotronic projects. See Armen Victorian "Psychic Warfare and Non
lethal Weapons."
[19]In this connection the work of Dr. James Lin of
Wayne State University should be noted. Lin has written a book
entitled "Microwave Auditory Effects & Applications" in which he
states "The capability of communicating directly with humans by pulsed
microwaves is obviously not limited to the field of therapeutic
medicine."
[20] Refer to Dr. Robert Becker who has stated "Such a
device has obvious applications in covert operations designed to drive
a target crazy with "voices" or deliver undetected instructions to a
programmed assassin." In 1974 Dr J F Scapitz filed a plan to explore
the interaction of radio signals and hypnosis. He stated that "In
this investigation it will be shown that the spoken word of the
hypnotists may be conveyed by modulate electromagnetic energy directly
into the subconscious parts of the human brain - i.e. without
employing any technical devices for receiving or transcoding the
messages and without the person exposed to such influence having a
chance to control the information input consciously." Schapitz' work
was funded by the DoD. Despite FOIA filings his work has never been
made available. Also it is interesting to note the date of 1974,
which almost exactly mirror's the period when the USSR commenced its
own programme that resulted in "Acoustic Psycho-correction
technology."
[21] During October 1994 Dr. Ross Adey visited London to
address a conference on the health implications of EM fields. At that
time this writer was collaborating with a well known documentary film
maker to make a documentary on this subject. I approached the
conference organisers, given a free invite and assured that I would be
permitted to speak with Dr. Adey privately. Additionally I assured
the organiser that any meeting would be strictly confidential and off
the record if Dr. Adey would feel more comfortable with that. In the
event Dr. Adey declined to meet with me and my complimentary
invitation to attend the conference was rescinded. Dr. Adey said the
subject was "too technical?" to discuss.
[22] Much similar effects have been reported, for
instance, at the Women's Peace camp at Seneca, in New York state.
[23] Psychic phenomena studies were, in fact, part of
classified Pentagon programmes dating back over two decades. Two
separate "teams" conducted advanced experiments. One team operated
out of SRI and the other from the NSA's Fort George Meade facility in
Maryland. During that time, Major General Albert N. Stubblebine,
Director of US Army Intelligence and Security Command oversaw a
programme dedicated to "remote viewing" where operatives were tasked
with, amongst other things, tracking Soviet "Boomer" submarines.
Stubblebine is presently Chairman of the Board of Directors of
PSI-TECH a private company specialising in remote viewing and other
activities. Col. John Alexander is also on the board. The company
also employs Major Edward Dames (ex DIA), Major David Moorhouse (ex
82nd Airborne), and Ron Blackburn (former microwave scientist and
specialist, Kirkland Air Force base).. PSI-TECH operate in the private
sector and have received a number of classified government contracts.
During the Gulf war the company was approached by DoD with a request
that the company's remote viewers be tasked with tracking and locating
Iraq's Scud missiles. Col Alexander and C.B. Scott Jones (who has
previously worked for the US government on mind control technology)
both share an interest in Unidentified Flying Objects. The highly
regarded New York Times journalist Howard Blum revealed in his book
"Out There" that there is, indeed, a DoD UFO working group within the
DIA. I mention this aspect only to demonstrate that the military
and intelligence community are not averse to experimenting in and
expending prodigious amounts of tax dollars on some of the "weirder"
areas of life. The remote viewing teams were disbanded following the
Oliver North fiasco by the Secretary of Defense who was concerned at
the potential bad publicity. Thereafter, Psi-Tech was formed and the
work continues.

the American Government." Martin is an independent and objective
researcher who has spent a considerable amount of time and personal
money in researching this subject. See earlier reference to Dr.
George Eastabrooks, footnote 3.
[25] On October 24-27 1995, the Counter-Drug Technology
Assessment Center held a symposium at Nashua, New Hampshire. Subjects
discussed included the "transition of advanced military technologies
to the civil law enforcement environment. These include advanced
tracking, tagging, radio frequency and other "non-intrusive"
technologies.
[26] I have certain caveats in citing this material.
Firstly, I have written to Dr. Horvath and the two other scientists
referred to in the Spotlight article. To date none have replied
either to confirm or deny their comments? One of them, Steve
Aftergood is highly reputable and is known to me indirectly. The
other two are not known to me at all. It is also important to point
out that Spotlight is an ultra right wing publication and one must,
therefore, take these citations with due caution. On the other hand
Spotlight shares a considerable "ethos" with some far right elements
of the military and intelligence community who are in a position to
know about these developments and for their own reasons may have made
this information available.

estimated to between $500 - $800 billion a year, thus an industry

[32] The present economic reality (and that for the
foreseeable future) is that the once abundant life-style for large
segments of western citizens will continue to erode. This will
inevitably lead to dissatisfaction that will increasingly manifest
itself in civil disturbance. Economically powerless to change
direction, governments may possibly resort to authoritarian remedies,
fuelling greater unrest and a repetition of the vicious cycle. This
model is based on the clear evidence that "nations" no longer possess
the economic might to "buck" the markets. The globalisation of
finance and the internationalisation of "free markets", has led to (or
perhaps resulted from?) giant "stateless" Trans National Corporations.
Collectively, TNC's far outweigh the economic power of any one
sovereign state. Under the combined onslaught of TNC's acting in
concert, (referred to as "market trends") even G7 (in the form of
combined Central Bank intervention) is often rendered powerless.
Under this scenario the future does not bode well. TNC's will
continue to accrue to themselves an increasing proportion of the world
's wealth, whereas nation states will grow increasingly reliant upon
sovereign indebtedness to finance themselves or gradually assume
"Third World" economies . The burden of "servicing" sovereign debt is
met by a combination of fiscal measures, primarily increased domestic
taxation (direct, indirect and more hidden measures) and decreased
expenditure. Both measures impact heavily on the poorer classes and
yet generally benefit the TNC's who remain large tax recipients.
Effectively powerless, the political structure in sovereign states
will have little alternative but to present to its citizens, a facade
of being in control if it is to remain in power. Bereft of economic
muscle, old-fashioned real "muscle" (in the form of
soft-kill-technologies) are likely to become more meaningful to the
rule of law concept. It is, therefore, self evident that LTL weapons
will thus be directed at the "rebellious" poorer classes . The
Mexican "Chiapas" are an early warning sign of how these
socio-economic factors are likely to impact in the future. Mexico
today, the United States tomorrow, and thereafter ? See Noam
Chomsky's World Orders Old and New for a more comprehensive analysis
of the TNC global phenomenon.
[33] Especially some classes of EM weapons that are
viewed as having a capability to remotely modify behaviour or attack
higher functions.
[34] See Department of Defense Draft directive dated
January 1, 1995 outlining taking objectives for Non Lethal Weapons.
[35] See Noam Chomsky's and Edward Herman's
"Manufacturing Consent" (Pantheon Books, New York, 1988). The authors
exhaustingly detail the widespread role of the media to propagandise
"elitist" objectives whilst downplaying or ignoring altogether "hard
news" that doesn't fit the "propaganda model". As a result domestic
"consent" is engineered both by the absence of information that
doesn't fit the "model" and by exclusively featuring stories or hard
news that do. The impact of these techniques effectively restricts
political and economic debate, sidelining contrary viewpoints. Thus
the authors argue that democracy has already been replaced and that,
de facto, a one party state has been crafted.
[36] This so called "soft kill" ability is politically
desirable.
