    REMOTE MIND CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

    Anna Keeler

    There had been an ongoing controversy over health effects of
    electromagnetic fields (EMF) for years (e.g., extremely low
    frequency radiation and the Navy's Project Seafarer; emissions of
    high power lines and video display terminals; radar and other
    military and industrial sources of radio frequencies and
    microwaves, such as plastic sealers and molders). Less is known
    of Department of Defense (DOD) and Central Intelligence Agency
    (CIA) interest in anti-personnel applications of the invisible
    energies. The ability of certain parameters of EMF; to cause
    health effects, including neurological and behavioral
    disturbances, has been part of the military and CIA arsenal for
    years.

    Capabilities of the energies to cause predictable and exploitable
    effects or damages can be gleaned from discussion of health
    effects from environmental exposures. Interestingly, some
    scientists funded by the DOD or CIA to research and develop
    invisible electromagnetic weapons have voiced strong concern
    (perhaps even superior knowledge or compensatory to guilt) over
    potentially serious consequences of environmental exposures.

    Eldon Byrd who worked for Naval Surface Weapons, Office of
    Non-Lethal Weapons, was commissioned in 1981 to develop
    electromagnetic devices for purposes including "riot control,"
    clandestine operations and hostage removal. In the context of a
    controversy over reproductive hazards to Video Display Terminal
    (VDT) operators, he wrote of alterations in brain function of
    animals exposed to low intensity fields. Offspring of exposed
    animals "exhibited a drastic degradation of intelligence later in
    life ... couldn't learn easy tasks ... indicating a very definite
    and irreversible damage to the central nervous system of the
    fetus." With VDT operators exposed to weak fields, there have
    been clusters of miscarriages and birth defects (With evidence of
    central nervous system damage to the fetus).

    Byrd also wrote of experiments where behavior of animals was
    controlled by exposure to weak electromagnetic fields. "At a
    certain frequency and power intensity, they could make the animal
    purr, lay down and roll over."

    Jose Delgado, advocate of a psychocivilized society through
    mind control, no longer implants electrodes in the brains of
    mental patients and prisoners; he now induces profound behavioral
    changes (hyperactivity, passivity, etc.) by exposing animals to
    precisely tuned EMFs. He has also written of genetic damage
    produced by weak EMF fields, similar to (those  emitted by VDTs.)
    Invariably, brain tissue damage and skeletal deformation was
    observed in new born chicks that had been exposed. He was
    concerned enough to check emissions from the appliances in his
    kitchen.

    Ross Adey induces calcium efflux in brain tissue with low power
    level fields (a basis for the CIA and military's "confusion
    weaponry") and has done behavioral experiments with radar
    modulated at electroencephalogram (EEG) rhythms. He is
    understandably concerned about environmental exposures within
    1 to 30 Hz (cycles per second), either as a low frequency or an
    amplitude modulation on a microwave or radio frequency, as these
    can physiologically interact with the brain even at very low
    power densities.

    Microwaves

    Microwave health effects is a juncture where Department of
    Defense and environmental concerns collide and part ways.
    Security, according to Sam Koslov of Defense Advanced Research
    Projects Agency (DARPA), first prompt of low intensity (for
    non-thermal) microwaves. At times, up 70-80% of the research
    was funded by the military. From 1965 to 1970, a study
    dubbed Project Pandora was undertaken to determine the health
    and psychological effects of low intensity microwaves, the
    so-called "Moscow signal" registered at the American Embassy in
    Moscow. Initially, there was confusion over whether the signal
    was an attempt to activate bugging devices or for some other
    purpose. There was suspicion that the microwave irradiation was
    being used as a mind control system. CIA agents asked Scientists
    involved in microwave research whether microwaves beamed at
    human beings from a distance could affect the brain and alter
    behavior.

    Dr. Milton Zaret who on undertook to analyze Soviet's literature
    on microwaves for the CIA, wrote: "For non-thermal irradiation,
    they believe the electromagnetic fields induced by the microwave
    environments affects the cell membrane, and this results in an
    increase of excitability or an increase in the level of
    excitation of nerve cells. With repeated or continued exposure,
    the increased excitability leads to a State of exhaustion of the
    cells of the cerebral cortex."

    Employees first learned of the irradiation ten years after
    Project Pandora began. Before that, information had been parceled
    out on a strict "need to know" basis, which excluded most
    employees at the compound. Due to secrecy, and probably reports
    like Dr. Zaret's, Jack Anderson speculated that the CIA was
    trying to cover up a Soviet effort at behavior modification
    through irradiation of the U.S. diplomats, and that the cover-up
    was created to protect the CIA's own mind control secrets.

    Finally, an unusually large number of illnesses were reported
    among the residents of the compound. U.S. Ambassador Walter
    Stoessel developed a rare blood disease similar to leukemia; he
    was suffering headaches and bleeding from the eyes. A source at
    the State Department informally admitted that excessive
    radiation had been leaking from his telephone; an American high
    frequency radio transmitter on the roof of the building had, when
    operating, induced high frequency signals well above the U.S.
    safety standard through the phones in the political section, as
    well as in lines to Stoessel's office. No doubt, National
    Security Agency or CIA electronic devices also contributed to
    the electromagnetic environment at the embassy, although values
    for these were never released, as they are secret. Stoessel was
    reported as telling his staff that the microwaves could cause
    leukemia, skin cancer, cataracts and various forms of emotional
    illness. White blood cell counts were estimated to be as high as
    40% above normal in one third of the staff, and serious
    chromosome damage was uncovered.

    The Soviets began research on biological effects of
    microwaves in 1953. A special laboratory was set up at the
    Institute of Hygiene and Occupational Diseases, Academy of
    Medical Sciences. Other labs were set up in the U.S.S.R. and in
    Eastern Europe that study both effects of microwaves and low
    frequency electromagnetic radiation. Years ago, in the halls of
    science, complaints could be heard that Soviet experiments
    regarding bio-effects couldn't be duplicated due to insufficient
    details in their Scientific literature, although, according to
    one DOD official, 75% of the U.S. papers on the subject carried
    insufficient parameters for duplication. Scientists even
    questioned, with McCarthy-like sentiments whether the Soviets
    were attenuating to frighten or mis-inform with false scientific
    reporting of bio-effects. It was unthinkable, according to
    cruder scientific theory, that non-thermal levels of microwaves
    could cause harm. Impetus for a study of such effect came not
    from concern for the public, but rather in the military and
    intelligence community's suspicion of the Soviets, and their
    equally strong interest in developing exploitable anti-personnel
    effects -- an interest that continues unabated today.

    The CIA and DOD "security" concerns metamorphized into
    research and development of invisible weapons capable of
    impacting on health and psychological processes. In fact, due to
    the finding of startling effects, DARPA's security became even
    tighter, and a new code name -- "Bizarre" -- was assigned to the
    project.

    Scientist Allen Frey of Randomline, Inc. was always more
    interested in low intensity microwave hazards: thermal effects
    were known. During project Pandora, the Navy funded such
    projects of his, as how to use low average power intensities,
    to: induce heart seizures; create leaks in the blood brain
    barrier, which would allow neurotoxins in the blood to cross
    and cause neurological damage or behavioral disorders; and how
    produce auditory hallucination or "microwave hearing", during
    which the person can hear tones that seem to be coming from
    within the head or from directly behind it. In 1976, the
    Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) released a report in which
    they attributed the results of Dr. Frey's, who acknowledges
    that his work was mis-attributed, he had thought up the
    projects himself. The DILLA, but not the CIA, is allowed to
    use "mirror imaging" and "net assessment" in their reports,
    i.e., respectively, the attribution of one's own motives and
    weapons capabilities to "the other side," in this case, the
    Soviets. It follows, that there is nothing to prevent them
    from releasing a report prepared in this manner, and thus
    muddy the water of decision making, pervert public opinion,
    stoke up congressional funding or enlist the support of naive
    scientists to counter "the threat." There was strong
    [criticism?] through the American press, but apparently the
    DIA, at least in some issues, can dish it up with impunity.

    The 1976 DIA report also credits the Soviets with other
    capabilities, stating, "Sounds and possibly even words which
    appear to be originating internally can be induced by signal
    modulation at very low power densities." Dr. Sharp, a Pandora
    research at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, some of
    whose work was so secret that he couldn't tell his boss,
    conducted an experiment in which the human brain has received
    a message carried to it by microwave transmission. Sharp was
    able to recognize spoken words that were modulated on a
    microwave carrier frequency by an "audiogram," an analog of
    the words' sound vibrations, and carried into his head in a
    chamber where he sat.

    Dr. James Lin of Wayne State University has written a book
    entitled "Microwave Auditory Effects and Applications." It
    explores the possible mechanisms for the phenomenon, and
    discusses possibilities for the deaf, as persons with certain
    types of hearing loss can still hear pulsed microwaves (as tones
    or clicks and buzzes, if words aren't modulated on). Lin mentions
    the Sharp experiment and comments, "The capability of
    communicating directly with humans by pulsed microwaves is
    obviously not limited to the field of therapeutic medicine."

    Dr. Robert O. Becker, twice nominated for the Noble prize for
    his health work in bio-electromagnetism, was more explicit in
    his concern over illicit government activity. He wrote of
    "obvious application in covert operations designed to drive a
    target crazy with "voices." What is frightening is that words,
    transmitted via low density microwaves or radio frequencies, or
    by other covert methods, might be used to create influence.
    For instance, according to a 1984 U.S. House of Representatives
    report, a large number of stores throughout the country use high
    frequency transmitted words (above the range of human hearing)
    to discourage shoplifting. Stealing is reported to be reduced by
    as much as 80% in some cases.

    Dr. Frey also did experiments on reduction of aggression.
    Rats who were accustomed to fighting viciously when their tails
    were pinched, accepted the pinching with relative passivity when
    irradiated with pulsed microwaves in the ultra high frequency
    range (UHF) at a power density of less than 1,000 microwatts/cm2.
    He has also done low intensity microwave experiment degrading
    motor coordination and balance. When asked about weapons
    application of his work, he answered by referring to himself as
    "just a biological theory," and his work for the Navy, "basic
    medical research."

    Lies Before Congress

    In 1976, George H. Heilmeier, director of Defense Advanced
    Research Projects Agency (DARPA) responded to a mailgram to
    President Ford from Don Johnson of Oakland, paraphrasing
    Johnson's concern, and assuring him that the DARPA sponsored
    Army/Navy Pandora experiments were "never directed at the use
    of microwaves as a surveillance tool, nor in a weapons concept."
    Don Johnson lingered in the memory of one DOD official  who
    sponsored microwave research in the 1970s. Johnson was
    enigmatically described as "brilliant.. schizophrenic was done."
    (Scientists who have disagreed with the DOD on health effects of
    microwaves and on the U.S. exposure standard, have received
    scant more respect and have had their cut.)

    The next year, Heilmeier elaborated in a written response to
    an inquiry before Congress, "... This agency [DARPA] is not
    aware of any research projects, classified or unclassified,
    conducted under the auspices of the Defense Department, now
    ongoing, or in the past, which would have probed possibilities
    of utilizing microwave radiation in a form of what is popular
    known as "mind control." We do not foresee the development by
    DARPA of weapons using microwaves and actively being directed
    toward altering nervous system function or behavior. Neither are
    we aware of any of our own forces ... developing such weapons.."

    Finally memoranda were released that rendered the goals of
    Pandora transparent. Richard Cesaro initiator of Pandora and
    director of DARPA's Advanced Sensor program, justified the
    project in that "little or no work has been done in
    investigation of the subtle behavioral changes which may be
    evolved by a low-level electromagnetic field." Researchers had
    long ago established that direct stimulus of the brain could
    alter behavior. The question raised by radio frequencies --
    microwaves or radio frequencies of the UHF or VHF band -- was
    whether the electromagnetic could have a similar effect at
    very low levels. Pandora's initial goal: to discover whether a
    carefully constructed microwave signal could control the mind.
    In the context of long term low-level effects: Cesaro felt that
    central nervous system effects could be important, and urged
    their study "for potential weapons applications." After testing
    a low-level modulated microwave signal on a chimpanzee and
    within approximately a week causing stark performance decrements
    and behavioral disorganization, Cesaro wrote "the potential of
    exerting a degree of control on human behavior by low-level
    microwaves seems to exist." On the basis of the primate study
    extensive discussions took place and plans were made to extend
    the studies to humans. According to a former DOD security
    analyst one such microwave experiment with human subjects took
    place at Lorton Prison in the early 1970s. He said that such
    research (in a weapons context) has occurred on behavioral
    effects of microwaves since 1976. He also asked "Why are you
    so concerned about then? What about now? They can call anyone
    a terrorist. Who are they using it on now?"

    Behavioral Effects

    In June 1970 a government think tank, Rand Corporation published
    a report by R.J. MacGregor, entitled "A Brief Survey of
    Literature Relating to Influence of Low Intensity Microwaves on
    Nervous Functions." After noting that the U.S. microwave
    guideline in effect in 1970 for the public, 10,000
    microwatts/cm2 (now the industrial and military "guideline") is
    proscribed from consideration of the rate that thermal effects
    are dissipated, the author, a specialist in modeling neural
    networks states that scientific studies have consistently shown
    that humans exhibit behavioral disturbances when subjected to
    non-thermal levels of microwaves well below this level. The
    symptoms that MacGregor lists for those humans exposed more or
    less regularly at work or in the living environment are insomnia,
    irritability, loss of memory, fatigue, headache, tremor,
    hallucination, autonomic disorders, and disturbed sensory
    functioning. He reports that swelling and distention of nerve
    cells have been produced at intensities as low as 1,000
    microwatts/cm2 (the current U.S. guideline for the public).

    In a Companion Rand paper June 1970 entitled "A Direct Mechanism
    for the Direct Influence of Microwave Radiation on Neuroelectric
    Function," "MacGregor" sets forth the idea that the electrical
    component of microwave radiation induces transmembrane
    potentials in nerve cells and thereby disturbs nervous function
    and behavior. Microwaves penetrate and are absorbed more deeply
    so that they can produce a direct effect on the central nervous
    system. With smaller wave lengths the principal absorption
    occurs near the body surface and causes peripheral or "lower"
    nervous system effects.

    Dr. Milton Zaret who analyzed neurological effects for the CIA
    during Project Pandora (he is now one of the few doctors willing
    to take the government on by testifying on behalf of plaintiffs
    filing claims for microwave health damage) wrote that "receptors
    of the brain are susceptible and react to extremely low
    intensities of microwave radiation if this is delivered in
    accordance with appropriate "coding." Coding is reported to be
    influenced by the character of the signal so as to be a function,
    for example, of the shape and amplitude of the pulse or waveform.

    Dr. Ross Adey, formerly of the Brain Research Center at
    University of Southern California, Los Angeles, now at Loma Linda
    University Medical School, Loma Linda, California was among the
    first of the Pandora researchers. His work is more precise in
    inducing specific behavior rather than merely causing
    disorganization or decrements in performance, that is, apart
    from his studies on inducing calcium efflux in brain tissue which
    causes interference with the function of the brain and is one
    basis of "Confusion Weaponry." More specifically, Adey's thesis
    is that if the electroencephalogram (EEG) has informational
    significance, "one can induce behavioral changes if one imposes
    environmental fields that look like EEG." During Adey's career
    he has correlated a wide variety of behavioral states with EEG
    including emotional states (e.g. stress in hostile questioning)
    increments of decision making and conditioning correct versus
    incorrect performance etc. and he has imposed electromagnetic
    fields that look like EEG which has resulted in altered EEG and
    behavior.

    In published accounts of Adey's work, he has shown that it
    is possible to apply low biologic frequencies by using a radio
    frequency carrier modulated at specific brain frequencies. He
    demonstrated that if the biological modulation on the carrier
    frequency is close to frequencies in the natural EEG of the
    subject it will reinforce or increase the number of
    manifestation of the imposed rhythms and modulate behavior.

    The Conditioning paradigm: animals were trained through aversion
    to produce specific brain wave rhythms; animals trained in a
    field with the same rhythm amplitude modulated on it, differed
    significantly from control animals in both accuracy and
    resistance to extinction (at least 50 days versus 10 in the
    controls). Then the fields were used on untrained animals
    occurrence of the applied rhythm increased in the animals' EEG.

    Dr. Adey is an accomplished scientist which lead one to believe
    the Significance of this experiment goes beyond mere
    reinforcement of the animal's brain waves. Did the rhythms that
    he chose to apply have special significance with relation to
    information processing or conditioning? The 4.5 theta rhythm
    that he applied was the natural reoccurring frequency that he
    had measured in the hippocampus during a phase of avoidance
    learning. The hippocampus as Adey wrote in an earlier paper,
    "... involves neural processes connected with consolidation of
    memory traces. It relates closely to the need for focusing
    attention and the degree to which recapitulation of past
    experience is imposed. One might add to ensure survival.
