Mind Control

Link: Mind Games - washingtonpost.com. By Sharon Weinberger

Concerns about microwaves and mind control date to the 1960s, when the U.S. government discovered that its embassy in Moscow was being bombarded by low-level electromagnetic radiation. In 1965, according to declassified Defense Department documents, the Pentagon, at the behest of the White House, launched Project Pandora, top-secret research to explore the behavioral and biological effects of low-level microwaves. For approximately four years, the Pentagon conducted secret research: zapping monkeys; exposing unwitting sailors to microwave radiation; and conducting a host of other unusual experiments (a sub-project of Project Pandora was titled Project Bizarre). The results were mixed, and the program was plagued by disagreements and scientific squabbles. The "Moscow signal," as it was called, was eventually attributed to eavesdropping, not mind control, and Pandora ended in 1970. And with it, the military's research into so-called non-thermal microwave effects seemed to die out, at least in the unclassified realm.

But there are hints of ongoing research: An academic paper written for the Air Force in the mid-1990s mentions the idea of a weapon that would use sound waves to send words into a person's head. "The signal can be a 'message from God' that can warn the enemy of impending doom, or encourage the enemy to surrender," the author concluded.

In 2002, the Air Force Research Laboratory patented precisely such a technology: using microwaves to send words into someone's head.

That work is frequently cited on mind-control Web sites. Rich Garcia, a spokesman for the research laboratory's directed energy directorate, declined to discuss that patent or current or related research in the field, citing the lab's policy not to comment on its microwave work.

In response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed for this article, the Air Force released unclassified documents surrounding that 2002 patent -- records that note that the patent was based on human experimentation in October 1994 at the Air Force lab, where scientists were able to transmit phrases into the heads of human subjects, albeit with marginal intelligibility. Research appeared to continue at least through 2002. Where this work has gone since is unclear -- the research laboratory, citing classification, refused to discuss it or release other materials.

The official U.S. Air Force position is that there are no non-thermal effects of microwaves. Yet Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center, tagged microwave attacks against the human brain as part of future warfare in a 2001 presentation to the National Defense Industrial Association about "Future Strategic Issues."

...

But September 11, 2001, changed the mood in Washington, and some in the national security community are again expressing interest in mind control, particularly a younger generation of officials who weren't around for MK-ULTRA. "It's interesting, that it's coming back," Alexander observed.

While Alexander scoffs at the notion that he is somehow part of an elaborate plot to control people's minds, he acknowledges support for learning how to tap into a potential enemy's brain. He gives as an example the possible use of functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, for lie detection. "Brain mapping" with fMRI theoretically could allow interrogators to know when someone is lying by watching for activity in particular parts of the brain. For interrogating terrorists, fMRI could come in handy, Alexander suggests. But any conceivable use of the technique would fall far short of the kind of mind-reading TIs complain about.

Alexander also is intrigued by the possibility of using electronic means to modify behavior. The dilemma of the war on terrorism, he notes, is that it never ends. So what do you do with enemies, such as those at Guantanamo: keep them there forever? That's impractical. Behavior modification could be an alternative, he says.

"Maybe I can fix you, or electronically neuter you, so it's safe to release you into society, so you won't come back and kill me," Alexander says. It's only a matter of time before technology allows that scenario to come true, he continues. "We're now getting to where we can do that." He pauses for a moment to take a bite of his sandwich. "Where does that fall in the ethics spectrum? That's a really tough question."

"Where does that fall in the ethics spectrum? That's a really tough question."

It is an interesting question. My take on this is that it's a bad direction to go. Like many things of this sort, it is a half-measure which in the end will create greater problems than it temporarily solves. It is inevitable. Yet those who argue for it will undoubtedly do what people so often do; justify it in their own minds so that they can excuse their behavior 'for the benefit of .' Personally, I think we've seen quite enough of that sort of thinking since World War II, and frankly I've had enough of it.

You have an enemy that swears he intends to kill you and that nothing you can possibly say will dissuade him? Then kill him. No fuss no muss. It's what everyone else has ever done, and frankly, there's a good reason for it. It works.

Everything else is 'the slippery slope'. You get that choice.

Best wishes.

Horrible,horrific,terrible mind control experiments with the use of
the latest electropsychotronics weapons are being conducted on jewish
political refugee.People who are doing this are working like
electrical engineers,welders.They are able to solder inside of your
body,head.They have mini blowpipe,mini knife .Man-machine interface is
being created.some experiments are being conducted for the creation of
artificial intelligence.Access of oxygen is being
controled(denied).circulation of the blood is beeing controled.They
cover your skin with their skin and using electromagnetic radiation
disassemble your body bone by bone,muscle by muscle,organ by
organ.jews are being tortured by somebody who is using the latest
electropsychotronics weapons.Functions and emotions are being
controled by someone on a distance,including speech.Situation is
critical.It' 2007,not 1941.
Please,help.
