Chapter
25:
IN
YOUR HEAD
The Soviets
reportedly began to
delve into the
biological effect of microwaves
as early as
1953. A number
of laboratories were set
up across the Soviet Union
and in Eastern
Europe, including one at
the Institute of
Hygiene and Occupational
Diseases, Academy of Medical
Sciences. Although the
Soviets reported on their
experiments in the
open literature, the
parameters they defined were
insufficient for duplicating
the experiments, and some
scientists in the
United States questioned
whether the whole matter was disinformation.
It was not. [1]
Early CIA
funding provided the wherewithal for
a project launched at
Honeywell, Inc. for
"a method to
penetrate inside a man's mind and control his brain waves over
long distance." At the National
Institutes of Health,
Dr. Maitland Baldwin, under CIA
supervision, bombarded the
brains of lobotomized monkeys with
radio waves. According
to researcher Alex Constantine, "His
CIA monitors noted
weird excesses: in one
experiment, Baldwin decapitated
a monkey and
transplanted its head to
the body of
another, then attempted
to restore it
to life with radar
saturation." [2]
In 1964,
CIA Director Richard Helms
sent a memo
to the Warren Commission,
mentioning "biological radio communication." Helms'
theorizing about such
methods was truly reminiscent
of Orwell's 1984.
He said, "Cybernetics [or computer
theory] can be
used in the
molding of a
child's character, the inculcation
of knowledge and
techniques, the amassing of
experience, the establishment
of social behavior patterns... all
functions which can be summarized
as control of the growth processes of the
individual." [3]
In 1977
Dr. Sam Koslov,
the scientific assistant
to the Secretary of the
Navy, was briefed
on a number
of current research projects.
One of them,
in progress at
Stanford Research Institute, was
named "ELF and
Mind Control." ELF is
the acronym for extremely low frequency
electromagnetic radiation.
Koslov didn't like
the sound of
that project and ordered
it cancelled, but
according to the
Washington Post, the funding
was merely diverted
into a different
project heading and continued to go forward. [4]
The following
report, although anonymous,
provides a detailed first
person encounter with
what may be
government electromagnetic
testing. It was published in
an underground magazine a
few years ago.
I do not
maintain that reports
such as these are
absolute proof of government
electromagnetic testing on citizenry,
but well-reasoned accounts
such as the
following must be taken into consideration:
"The large
black top of the Federal
Building in San Francisco looks like
a giant air-conditioning vent,
50 feet tall,
comprising the entire top
of the building.
It is actually
a radar, microwave, and radio
transparent shield for an
array of communications devices on
the roof of
the building. Such
"blinds" on top of
government buildings are
nothing unusual, it
isn't necessary to visually
remind everybody that
such buildings also
are likenesses of Orwell's
Ministry of Information (read, CIA). And
as such are in need of
systems of communications independent
of civilian mediums. Which, anyway,
would be purposely interrupted in
any serious case of civil unrest.
"It is
important to note
three facts at
this point, the purpose of
which will come
clear in the
end: First, the
Federal Building is located
at the base
of a broad
hill. It is
on the low
rise of this hill
where San Francisco's
'Skid Row' district,
the 'Tenderloin,' uneasily
rests. And so
the Federal Building
can be seen
from virtually any place
in the Tenderloin.
And let us
reverse this thought; virtually
any place in the Tenderloin
may be seen
from the Federal Building.
And it is
this unimpeded view which brings to
mind the second
oddly coinciding factor;
that Low Frequency Electromagnetic emissions
like television broadcasts will not
pass through earth
(hills, or the
horizon), nor do
they even pass very
well through buildings,
and so require
a fairly clear shot,
unlike higher frequency
emissions like radio.
This is why you have to put TV
antennas on the roof.
"Now fact
three; Extremely Low Frequency
transmissions, or ELFs, have
been the focus
of significant research
by the military intelligence machines of
several governments, including
our own. ELF developments
for military purposes
is based on indications that
ELFs at close
range seem to
cause aberrations in the
thought processes of
human beings, such
as hallucinations, disordered thought,
confusion, aggression, depression,
anger, hopelessness. Not unlike television, a close companion to ELFs in (he
electromagnetic spectrum. It is not
difficult to imagine the
value of such
a weapon to
our secret government,
so fond of the
disruption of societies,
the control and
subjugation of individuals, and
of war, 'the
insane death dance of
paranoid societies.'
"Now with
these three things
in mind, consider
this fourth. Since I have had the fortune to live for three years in
this ring of hell, the Tenderloin,
I have noticed
something very odd. At least
15 times I
have noticed in
the morning or
early evening a pronounced
buzzing or humming.
Very low and
hard to hear. Something like
the sound which
some can hear
of a TV
that is on in
a room, but
with the volume
off. And on
looking for the source
of this sound,
I found that
it seemed to
come from everywhere and
nowhere. In other
words it seemed
to be coming from inside
my head. I
do not mean
this figuratively. I mean
that my head
seemed to resonate with
the vibration. And I felt that
my thoughts were
disrupted. The buzzing
seemed to make thoughts
fall apart just
before forming, like
sand on a vibrating
metal plate, and
I felt vaguely angry.
On the third or fourth
occurrence of this,
I noticed that
in the wake
of the buzzing sound,
an unusual number
of fights could
be heard breaking out all
around me. From
out on the
streets, and from adjoining buildings,
and apartments, came
the shouts and threats
of people overcome
with anger. And
I thought, though
at first it seemed
horrible to consider,
'Hadn't ELF subjects reported the
feeling or sound
of buzzing in
their heads?' and 'what
better section of
the population could
be chosen on
which to conduct ELF
experiments.' A large
percentage of inner
urban dwellers are already
so close to
the edge that
he or she
is highly likely to
express any fluctuation
of mood with
a corresponding fluctuation of
activity which might
come to the
attention of the police.
In a neighborhood
where aberrant behavior
is common and expected,
slight increases of
such behavior would
go completely unnoticed, but
would be detectable
by careful observation of
incoming reports to
the police department.
It would be unlikely
in the extreme
that anyone would
associate the strange buzzing
sound with unaccountable
accompanying emotional
swings. Impossible that
someone would suspect secret agents
of systematically barraging
the politically powerless
with mood and
consciousness ELF waves
from atop the Federal Building. But even if such an
impossibilitycame to pass, and
allegations were made,
would they not
automatically be discredited by
the general perception
of the poor
(i.e. Tenderloin inhabitants) as mentally unstable, alcoholic, drug addicted, and
of the government
as an essentially
well meaning parent, who would
not really ever purposely harm her children?
"Tests of
ELF effects could
be precisely monitored by the existing police
department recording system
(at no extra
cost), all recorded on
the justice system's
networked national computer system,
containing exact times
of complaints, record of
outcome, location, identity,
profile, and criminal
history of all persons
involved. Police department
ignorance of the
tests would actually be
desirable. The entire
operation could be run
by as
few as two
people. ELF broadcast
times would simply
be correlated with any
flux of reports
to the police
department. And the exact nature of the ELF effects on human emotion
would be conveniently built
into the data
received from police
reports.
For example,
an increase of domestic violence
at 4%, and suicides
2%, perhaps one
or two extra
stabbings during your special
hour-long broadcast of the latest
ELF 'Top Ten.'
A decrease in premeditated
crimes might indicate
a breakdown of thought
process during the
time of ELF
transmission. Do you see?
A double blind
experiment (neither police
nor populace have any
idea) on a
perfectly contained and
monitored large population of
control subjects, in a typical
city, with an 'in place' monitoring system
(police reports) with
a plus or
minus accuracy allowance of
virtually 0% since
the experiment can be
performed an unlimited
number of times
over a period
of years.
Could such
malignant experiments be pulled off
in any other setting? If
your aim were to induce
murders, violence, psychosis, severe
depression, or suicide,
you couldn't really
go calling on John Hopkins University now, could you? Anyway, the very point of such a thing would
be its use on urban populations.
Listen, you
have a little
country somewhere, you
destabilize the populace with
ELFs and conventional
means and overwhelm
the local law enforcement
agencies, martial law
is declared, the democratically elected
government falls. You
install a corrupt dictator. You
say to the
American people, 'We
must send humanitarian aid.'
A hundred million
dollars is allocated
to the small country.
The corrupt dictator
steals the goods
and money, and deposits
the laundered free
and clear taxpayer
dollars in an offshore
American bank. Beginning
to get the
picture? Think of how perfectly foolproof
this is, how elegant, how appealing, how logical, how
insidious, how horrible,
how possible, and all it
costs is the suffering of thousands of people.
"Postscript; last
week the buzzing
happened again, so
loud yet so easily
dismissed against the
background of city
noise. How could I prove to myself that it was not simply just coming from my
head, could I
possibly have the
rare hearing condition, tinnitus, which
causes ringing in the ears?
I remembered a Mr. Science experiment
where the electromagnetic transparency
of various substances was
being demonstrated. A
portable radio was placed
into a wooden
box. 'Hear that?
The radio is still playing, which
means? That's right,
wood is electromagnetically transparent.' The
radio was imprisoned
in various other containers to
see what would
happen. Then finally
it was wrapped in
aluminum foil, and
fell silent. I
ran into the
kitchen and grabbed the
tin foil. Pulling
a three foot
strip of it, I wrapped
it around my head, and the buzzing stopped." [5]
One of
the strangest—and most
ominous—episodes in the history
of electromagnetic irradiation
research is the construction of
the network of
Ground Wave Emergency Network (GWEN)
towers, in the 1980s. The GWEN towers
are almost 300 feet
tall, and a 330-foot web
of copper wiring extends out
from them, broadcasting
bursts of very
low frequency (VLF) messages
at 20 minute
intervals or, from another source,
hour intervals. These towers are
spaced 200 miles apart
from each other
and describe a
straight line across America. At
this time there
are 54 operational
towers, although at least 29 more
are scheduled to be constructed.
It is
claimed that GWEN
is part of
the COG (Continuity
of Government) program of
the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, designed to
keep government functional
in the case
of disaster, including nuclear
war. Some sources
disagree that this is
the purpose of
the project, citing
the statement of Colonel Paul Hanson, GWEN Program Director
for the Air Force. Hanson has said, "The
towers will not
help wage a
nuclear war because they
would be destroyed
in any protracted
confrontation."
Others note
that since the
GWEN hardware is
transistor based, they are
particularly vulnerable to the electromagnetic pulses
of nuclear explosions. The
location of the
GWEN towers is also a
matter of public
record, meaning that
they could easily
be targeted in case of war or even terrorist threat. [6]
Robert O.
Becker, M.D., in Crosscurrents: The
Perils of Electropollution, says
of GWEN: "GWEN
is a superb
system, in combination with
cyclotron resonance, for
producing behavioral alterations
in the civilian
population. The average strength of the
steady geomagnetic field
varies from place
to place across the
United States. Therefore,
if one wished
to resonate a specific
ion in living
things in a specific locality,
one would require a
specific frequency for that location.
The spacing of GWEN transmitters
200 miles apart across the United States would allow such specific frequencies
to be 'tailored' to the geomagnetic-field strength in each GWEN area."
A similar
system is SECOM
II, composed of
five broadcasting towers in
Idaho, New Mexico,
Missouri, South Carolina,
and Maryland. These towers
were ostensibly constructed
as communication links between
a central monitoring
station and vehicles carrying
nuclear weapons and
nuclear materials. SECOM II
broadcasts in the
3-12 Mhz range,
which, coincidentally or not,
precisely blankets the
resonant frequency of the human
organism. [7]
Another group
of towers is
mentioned in an
anonymous paper titled "Mind
Control Operations/Aquarius Group
Activities," that states, "With
a general ignorance
through arrogance of most public population in the U.S. the erection
of large cellular towers being carried out under HIGH TONE and ZENO are largely
going completely unnoticed. These
projects are being
carried out in private
business capacities and
therefore in Deep
Black Operations cover. However,
public populations would be
wise to educate
themselves in the
construction of these
seemingly innocent towers in
large population areas.
The cellular 800 MHZ waves are a constant wave. Due to the
great proliferation of towers in key
population areas, they
will have a
devastating effect."
An oft-heard
allegation is that
the CIA has
developed a mind control
technology they refer
to as RHIC-EDOM.
The acronym stands for
"Radio Hypnotic Intracerebra
Control—Electronic Dissolution
of Memory," and
refers to the
ability to induce
a hypnotic state from
a remote location,
impart hypnotic commands, and
erase the memory
of the programming
and the period of
time that it
took place in.
This technology allegedly includes electromagnetic broadcasting
as well as
intramuscular implants. The erasure
of memory is
reportedly accomplished by the
electromagnetic stimulation of the chemical
acetylcholine in the brain.
The first
mention of RHIC-EDOM was
in the 1969
book Were We Controlled? by
the pseudonymous Lincoln
Lawrence. Lawrence describes RHIC-EDOM in this manner:
"It is
the ultra-sophisticated application
of post-hypnotic suggestion triggered
at will by radio transmission. It is a recurring hypnotic
state, reinduced automatically
at intervals by the
same radio control.
An individual is
brought under hypnosis. This can be done either with his knowledge—or
without it by use of
narco-hypnosis, which can
be brought into
play under many guises. He is then programmed to perform
certain actions and maintain certain attitudes upon radio signal."
Lawrence claimed
that Lee Harvey
Oswald had been manipulated through
RHIC-EDOM, but not
by the Russians
or the CIA or
its brethren. According
to Lawrence, Oswald's controllers had
been a worldwide
cabal of commodities merchants who,
through the assassination
of the president, wanted to
drive stock down
and make a
fortune. The idea
is not entirely implausible.
The only
other mention of
RHIC-EDOM claiming insider knowledge of
the technology is an article
by James L.
Moore, in a 1975
issue of Modern
People magazine. In
that article, Moore claimed
that he possessed
a 350-page manual
originating from CIA sources
on RHIC-EDOM. The
manual had supposedly been prepared by
the CIA shortly
after the murder
of John F. Kennedy.
Verifying RHIC-EDOM
are the researches
of the late
L.L. Vasiliev, professor of
physiology at the
University of Leningrad, who described
one experiment in
remote hypnosis using undefined techniques of radio control:
"As a
control of the
subject's condition, when
she was outside the
laboratory in another
set of experiments,
a radio set
was used. The results
obtained indicate that
the method of using radio
signals substantially enhances
the experimental possibilities. I.F.
Tomaschevsky [a Russian physiologist]
carried out the first
experiments with this
subject at a
distance of one or
two rooms, and
under conditions that
the participant would not
know or suspect
that she would
be experimented with.
In other cases, the
sender was not
in the same
house, and someone else
observed the subject's
behavior. Subsequent experiments
at considerable distances were
successful. One such
experiment was carried out
in the park
at a distance.
Mental suggestions to go to sleep were complied with within a
minute." [8]
Interesting in
the context of
RHIC-EDOM technology is a statement made
almost ten years
after the publication
of Were We Controlled? Dr. Sidney
Gottlieb, the MKULTRA heavyweight, during
questioning by Senator
Richard Schweicker in 1977 Senate hearings on CIA drug testing
responded as follows: SCHWEIKER:
Some of the
projects under MKULTRA
involved hypnosis, is that correct?
GOTTLIEB: Yes.
SCHWEICKER:
Did any of
these projects involve
something called radio hypnotic
intracerebral control, which
is a combination, as I understand
it, in layman's terms, of radio transmissions and hypnosis.
GOTTLIEB: My answer is "No."
SCHWEICKER: None whatsoever?
GOTTLIEB:
Well, I am
trying to be
responsive to the terms you
used. As I
remember it, there
was a current
interest, running interest, all
the time in what effects
people's standing in the
field of radio
energy have, and it
could easily have
been that somewhere in
many projects, someone
was trying to see if
you could hypnotize someone easier if he was standing in a radio beam. That would
seem like a
reasonable piece of
research to do. [9]
Another statement
was made by
J.F. Schapitz who,
working with the Department
of Defense in
1974, filed the
following research proposal:
"In this
investigation it will
be shown that
the spoken word of the hypnotist may be conveyed by
modulated electro-magnetic energy
directly into the
subconscious parts of
the human brain—i.e., without
employing any technical devicesfor receiving or
transcoding the messages
and without the
person exposed to such
influence having a
chance to control
the information input consciously."
Schapitz proposed
an experiment wherein
a subject would
be subconsciously told to
leave the laboratory,
the command triggered by
a word or
action from the
researcher. As in the
tricks played by
stage hypnotists, Schapitz
was certain that
the subject would rationalize
the otherwise irrational
desire to leave the
lab. Records of
Schapitz' research, beyond
the initial proposal, have never
been declassified. [10]
In a
way, proof of
the existence of
RHIC-EDOM does not much
matter. It is
not vitally important
if Lincoln Lawrence or James
L. Moore were
speaking from personal
knowledge, or simply speculation
that they wanted to
render more believable. "RHIC-EDOM" is
in essence just
a name that
describes a technology close
to or identical
to others that
have been demonstrated to exist.
[11]
A specific
Russian mind control
technology was outed
by the American Defense
News in 1993,
termed "acoustic psycho- correction." According
to the magazine,
"The Russian capability, demonstrated in
a series of
laboratory experiments dating
back to the mid-1970s,
could be used to
suppress riots, control dissidents, demoralize
or disable opposing
forces and enhance the
performance of friendly
special operations teams,
sources say.
"Pioneered by
the government-funded Department
of Psycho- Correction at
the Moscow Medical
Academy, acoustic psycho- correction involves
the transmission of
specific commands via static
or white noise
bands into the
human subconscious without upsetting other
intellectual functions. Experts
said that laboratory demonstrations have
shown encouraging results
after exposure of less than one minute."
Janet Morris,
science fiction author
and research director
of the U.S. Global Strategy Council, a Washington, D.C. think tank, is one
of the leading
lights in the field of
non-lethal weaponry which in
practice is a
nice euphemism that
includes techniques of mind control.
According to Tactical
Technology magazine, "While visiting
Russia in November
1991, Morris and other members of
a team sent
to investigate Russian
technologies for commercial development
were invited to
a demonstration of a mind control
technology. A volunteer
from the U.S.
team sat down in
front of a
computer screen as
innocuous words flashed across the
screen. The volunteer was
only required to
tell which words he
liked and which
words he disliked.
At the end of
the demonstration the
Russian staff started
revealing the sensitive, innermost
thoughts of the
volunteer—none of which had been
previously discussed. The
recorded message was mixed with
what appeared to be white
noise or static,
so when played back
it became undecipherable. Since
there were no more
volunteers in the
U.S. group, the
Russians volunteered to go
upstairs and let
the Americans choose
a mental patient
for a demonstration. The
Americans declined the offer.
"The Russians
told Morris of a demonstration
in which a group
of workers were
outside the hospital
working on the grounds.
The staff sent
an acoustic psycho-correction message via
their machine to
the workers telling
them to put
down their tools, knock
on the door
of the hospital
and ask if there
was anything else they
could do. The
workers did exactly
that, the Russians said.
"The Russians
admitted to using this
technology for special operations team
selection and performance
enhancement and to aid
their Olympic athletes
and an Antarctic
exploration team. Unlike lie
detectors, this machine
can determine when
the truth is spoken, according to Morris.
"Being an
infrasound, very low frequency-type
transmission, the acoustic psycho-correction message
is transmitted via
bone conduction. This means
that earplugs will
not restrict the message.
An entire body
protection system would
be required to stop reception.
The message, according to the Russians, bypasses the conscious level and is
acted on almostimmediately. The
Russians say that
the messages are
acted upon with exposure times of under one minute.
"Morris envisions
this technology will
be miniaturized into a
hand-held device. Presently,
the International Healthline
Corp. of Richmond, Va.,
is planning to
bring a Russian
team of specialists to
the U.S. in the near
future to further
demonstrate the capability. International
Healthline is a
private corporation that is
exploring Russian medical
technologies for import
to the U.S." [12]
A specific
application of electronics
in mind control
is in the direct
broadcasting of audible
sounds, including voices,
to the human brain.
In 1961, biophysicist
Allen Frey, working
for the Defense Intelligence
Agency (DIA), announced
that human beings are
capable of hearing
microwave broadcasts, in the
case of his experiments,
what he described
as buzzing or knocking sounds. Frey
suggested "stimulating the
nervous system without the damage caused by
electrodes." [13]
In 1973,
Dr. Joseph C.Sharp,
at Walter Reed
Hospital, while in a
soundproof room heard
spoken words broadcast
by "pulsed microwave audiogram." Broadcast
in a range
between 300 MHz to
3GHz, Sharp was
able to identify
words that were broadcast without any
form of electronic
translation device—by direct transmission to the brain. [14]
A 1976
Defense Intelligence Agency
report credited the Soviets
with having made
the same discovery
as Sharp and Grove,
although this was
apparently disinformation in the
interest of encouraging
Congress to appropriate
funding in order to play a pretended "catch
up" with the Russians. [15]
One electromagnetic weapon
that transmits at
the frequency of the
human nervous system
is, according to
researcher Harlan Girard, manufactured
by Loral Electro-Optical Systems
in Pasadena, California. In
substantiation, it is
reported that Loral had
previously done research
on electromagnetic weaponry
for Lt. Gen. Leonard Peroots
of the U.S.
Air Force. Peroots
is reported to have
requested a weapon
that would broadcast negative messages
directly to the
minds of the
enemy—and positive messages to the minds of friendly troops. [16]
A study
by A.W. Guy
and others, released
in 1975 by the
DIA, reported on experiments
to determine the
particulars of the phenomenon of
audible electromagnetics, and
its relation to such
things as pulse
power, pulse shape,
and frequency. Along with
a number of
details about the
nature of electromagnetic interaction with humans and
animals, Guy explained why the microwaves
were audible: microscopic
thermal expansion of brain
tissues. Guy had
even experimented with
sending Morse code via
microwaves. Also reported on
were Soviet capabilities:
"Sounds and possibly even
words which appear
to be originating intercranially can
be induced by signal modulations at very
low power densities."
Dr. Robert
O. Becker, in
The Body Electric,
commented on the technology:
"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."
As with
many other instances
of claimed mind
control, separating subjects experiencing
hallucinatory voices from
those broadcast
electronically is a
difficult task. One
possible solution is suggested
by Judy Wall,
in her article
"Synthetic
Telepathy," published in
1996. Wall proposes
that the effect
of microwave voices could be
detected with an
electroencephalograph (EEG) machine. The
main drawback to
this technique is
that if what- ever agency was broadcasting the
messages was awareof the use of
monitoring equipment, the
messages would undoubtedly
stop. As Wall states, "While it is not a perfect solution, it is
hopefully a start towards monitoring,
validating, and correcting
the problem of involuntary
mind control experimentation and
harassment of innocent victims."
