    NON-LETHAL DEATH

    By David Guyatt

    July 1996

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    Today's "Less Than Lethal" concept of "Low Intensity Warfare"
    stomps with a crack and a fizzle around the corridors of military
    power. The Pentagon's crew-cut communication commandos will tell
    you that Non-Lethal Defence weapons won't kill you. Maybe. What
    they don't tell you is that their new-age, high-tech,
    gizmo-logical armory has been secretly honed to mind-numbing
    efficiency. Specifically, it is your mind that has been scheduled
    for numbing and, if necessary, erased altogether.

    Your future shot of non-lethal Novocain may take the form of an
    electromagnetic field that will cocoon your every thought.
    Flowing from this invisible field will be an inaudible "command"
    message -- a sort of "stealth e-mail" -- that will infiltrate
    directly into your unconscious. The whole caboodle has been
    lovingly designed to re-programme the way you think -- and even
    what you think. Alternatively, at the mere flip of a switch you
    might simply be turned off altogether.

    The fact is that thought can be controlled -- remotely. There's
    no need to attach wires or electrodes. Nowadays, the spooks of
    Langley, Fort George C. Meade and elsewhere, can hack straight
    into the grey cells of your most precious organ. To many, this
    scenario may appear to be the rabid fantasizing of an "X Files"
    fruit-cake. Not so. The truth may be out there, but so is the
    technology and the will to use it.

    Re-Experiencing an "Experience Set"

    "New World Vistas" was a major undertaking by the US Air Force
    Scientific Advisory Board, to examine future developments in
    weapons. Published in 1996, it totalled 14 volumes of studies.
    The fifteenth "ancillary" volume contained some hair-raising
    insights into the future "coupling" of man and machine. Tucked
    away on page 89 is a section dealing with "Biological Process
    Control." The author speaks of an "explosion" of knowledge in
    the field of neuroscience. He then proceeds to his main point,
    "One can envision the development of electromagnetic energy
    sources, the output of which can be pulsed, shaped and focused,
    that can couple with the human body in a fashion that will allow
    one to prevent voluntary muscular movements, control emotions
    (and thus actions), produce sleep, transmit suggestions,
    interfere with both short-term and long-term memory, produce an
    experience set and delete an experience set."[1] Translating the
    words "experience set" from military jargon into plain English,
    this simply means your entire life's "memories" can be erased
    and a new, fictitious memory implanted.

    There is a lot of debate whether these mind-weapons are already
    in "low profile" service. Arguably they are. By projecting such
    "developments" into the future, the authors of "New Vistas" may
    have hitched on to an old trick -- anesthetizing the public to
    camouflage present day abilities. In another US Military
    publication, a similar futuristic scenario was adopted. Published
    by the US Army War College in 1994, "The Revolution in Military
    Affairs and Conflict Short of War" contains many references to
    mind manipulation. Authors Steven Metz and James Kievit observe,
    for example, "Behavior modification is a key component of peace
    enforcement."[2] They go on to note that, "The advantage of
    [using] directed energy systems is deniability."[3] Savvy
    individuals the authors then ask "Against whom is such
    deniability aimed?"[4] The answer simply is "deniability must be
    aimed at the American people."[5] So much for "open government"
    in the brave new world's brave new age.

    Setting Buck Rogers to the forefront, the writers proceed to
    layout a futuristic scenario set in the year 2010, that utilizes
    "perception moulding" and "advanced psychotechnologies" to avoid
    irksome public protest. But that is just the beginning. The major
    problem they believe is that "traditional American ethics [are] a
    major hindrance." And thus, sadly, "old-fashioned notions of
    personal privacy and national sovereignty [are to be]
    changed."[6] Individual citizens unwilling to go along with the
    revolutionary changes are "identified using comprehensive
    interagency integrated database." They are then "categorized" and
    subjected to "sophisticated computerized personality simulations
    used to develop, tailor and focus psychological campaigns for
    [against] each."[7]

    Other techniques are to be used in association with these new
    mind weapons. These include "morphing" -- a present day ability
    that distorts TV images and presents them in a wholly believable
    way. In other words "computer inventions."[8] If you are one of
    those citizens lucky enough not to have their brains
    electronically scrambled -- or erased -- it won't really matter.
    The electronic media will manipulate the news especially for you,
    by presenting convincing near-real-life visual images through
    your combined TV set cum Internet interface. In this brave new
    revolutionary world, seeing will be believing, even though it is
    entirely false. The only real difference between Orwell's bleak
    vision of 1984, and the aims of today's military mandarins, is
    that you'll be watching your TV set -- it won't be watching you.
    Orwell can be forgiven for his oversight. In his day it was
    unimaginable that mankind would voluntarily submit itself to
    brain-washing.

    Whilst these new-age Da Vinci's continue to create their speckled
    visions of our future, we should be prepared to ask some hard
    questions now. Specifically, the major question to pose is whether
    this technology is really futuristic, or whether it is present
    day? To answer this we need to look at history. As we do this, we
    should bear in mind that security classification acts as a brake
    on time. What happens in the Pentagon today often takes as many
    as twenty years to filter out to the public. Technology is
    advancing at such a fantastic rate that it is redundant as soon
    as it leaves the drawing board. Computers, for example are
    doubling in power, and reducing in size by a half, every eighteen
    months.

    The Mind-Festering History of Thought Control

    As far back as WWII research was being conducted into thought
    manipulation. 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 WWII 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 2 million Yen during the years 1940-1945.
    Summarizing Japanese efforts at the war's conclusion, allied
    scientists believed 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.[9] Research on
    living organisms (mice and ground hogs) showed that waves from 2
    meters to 60 centimeters in length caused hemorrhage of lungs,
    whereas waves shorter than two meters destroyed brain cells.

    Experiments in these areas have a grisly past. Nazi doctors at
    Dachau concentration camp conducted involuntary experiments with
    hypnosis and narco-hypnosis -- using the drug mescaline -- on
    inmates. Additional research was conducted at Auschwitz, 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. Navy was tasked with obtaining
    industrial and scientific secrets that had been developed by the
    Third Reich. Following a lengthy report the Navy instigated
    Project CHATTER in 1947. Many of the Nazi scientists and medical
    doctors who conducted hideous wartime experiments were later
    recruited by the U.S. Army and worked out of Heidelberg, Germany.
    Later they were secretly relocated to the United States under the
    top secret programme "Project PAPERCLIP." Under the leadership
    of Dr. Hubertus Strughold, 34 ex-Nazi scientists accepted
    "Paperclip" contracts, authorized 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
    -- mirroring their pet Nazi's methods -- commenced their own
    narco-hypnosis experiments on involuntary victims. These included
    prisoners, mental patients, foreigners, ethnic minorities and
    those classified as sexual deviants.[10] The secrecy surrounding
    these experiments was so tight that it lasted almost thirty
    years. During the middle 1970's the US public learned, for the
    first time, of a series of secret programmes that had been
    conducted by the military and intelligence community.[11]
    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.[12]

    Particularly relevant was Dr. Jose Delgado's secret work
    directed towards the creation of a "psycho-civilized" society
    by use of a "stimoceiver."[13] 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),[14] colored
    visions, and other responses." The "colored visions" citation,
    probably referred to hallucinations -- an effect that a number
    of so called "victims" allude to.[15]

    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."[16]

    In the event,narco-hypnosis was found to be less than
    reliable, although some writers and observers dispute
    this.[17] 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[18] 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 centers 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. Lilly's work 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.[19]

    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. This project was to
    study the health and psychological effects of low intensity
    microwaves with regard to the so called "Moscow signal" -- an
    episode when the US embassy Moscow was bombarded by Soviet
    microwaves... Pandora research included (under US Navy funding)
    studies demonstrating how to: induce heart seizures, create leaks
    in the blood brain barrier, and the 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."[20]

    World Opinion is Not Ready for This

    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 secret and built-in a
    high element of "deniability."[21] Despite the fact that many of
    these projects revolved around the use of narcotics and
    hallucinogens, projects ARTICHOKE, PANDORA and CHATTER clearly
    demonstrated that "psychoelectronics" were a high priority.
    Indeed, an anonymous informer (humorously known as "Deep Trance")
    told author John Marks; that beginning in 1963 mind control
    research strongly emphasized electronics.

    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 behavior 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 $80,000 (US). 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, demoralize or disable opposing forces and
    enhance the performance of friendly special operations
    teams."[22] 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."

    Dr. Ross Adey, in his pioneering work determined that
    emotional states and behavior 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."[23] Within the Pentagon this ability is now
    known as "Artificial Telepathy."[24] Adey and others have
    compiled an entire library of frequencies and pulsation rates
    which can effect the mind and nervous system.

    During the siege of Waco, Texas, 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.

    Sleeping Beauty Meets Hidden Agenda

    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,[25] 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.[26] These have been
    reviewed by Dr. Robert Becker, twice nominated for the Nobel
    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
    diarrhea. 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.[27] 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.

    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 1995, 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."[28]

    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, organized crime is so globally
    "organized" that experts now believe it is impossible to
    eradicate or even effectively combat.[29]

    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, 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.[30] The
    programme was broadcast during April 1995.

    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 vigor and
    ability. Unable to so readily project the "shadow" outwards on to
    another nation, the enemy without soon distills to become the
    enemy within?[31] In the United States, 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.[32] 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. As we have seen in the
    years following Vietnam, dead US soldiers engaged in overseas
    "adventures" (universally hailed as "peace-keeping" when the West
    conducts such operations, but dubbed "criminal" or "terrorist"
    when other States engage in similar activities) are no longer
    politically acceptable. Paradoxically, death on the streets in a
    domestic context -- as a result of growing crime -- is
    politically OK. Political careers often rest on tough-anti-crime
    sentiments. Despite this, history clearly demonstrates that crime
    continues to spiral upwards. For example, the much publicized
    capture and death of Pablo Escobar -- Colombia's most notorious
    cocaine baron -- was immediately followed by an increase in the
    quantity and quality of cocaine shipments to the US. A mite odd
    one might conclude?

    Less-Than-Lethal Anti-Personnel weapons[33] are seen in some
    influential quarters as being the ideal remedy for future
    domestic disturbances that clearly result from poverty and
    despair.[34] The danger with this 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, 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-civilized 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.

    If, like many, you doubt that what has been portrayed above can
    or will happen, you are denying the facts and closing your eyes
    to history. In the last analysis global planners don't see you as
    a unique individual, but only as an "experience set." Worse,
    perhaps, than meekly allowing this to happen, you are also paying
    for it via the tax take. No wonder the faceless ones are
    laughing.

    the Manchurian Candidate" (Penguin Books, London 1979) and
    Walter Bowart's "Operation Mind Control" (Fontana Books, London
    1979).

    [12] Walter Bowart.

    [13] See Delgado's "Physical Control of the Mind: Towards a
    Psychocivilized Society," "Intracerebral Radio Stimulation in
    Completely Free Patients" in Schiwitgebel & Schwitzgebel (eds.).
    Speaking in 1966, Delgado asserted that his research "supported
    the distasteful conclusion that motion, emotion and behavior
    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.

    Cannon, LOBSTER 23.

    [16] See "Neural Manipulation by Radar" by Armen Victorian,
    LOBSTER 30, and also Time Magazine, July 1, 1974 "Mind Reading
    Computer."

    [17] Marks notes that the vast bulk of CIA key documents were
    illegally destroyed, in 1973, at the order of the then DCI,
    Richard Helms.

    [18] See his autobiography "The Scientist."

    [19] Anna Keeler in Full Disclosure 1989.

    [20] Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report released under
    FOIA. Also see Anna Keeler. Capt Paul E. Tyler, MC, USN paper
    entitled "The Electromagnetic Spectrum in Low Intensity
    Conflict" (CADRE 1986) is also relevant in this connection.

    [21] 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."

    [22] In connection with "enhancing abilities of friendly
    forces" see numerous articles and expose's on Col. John B.
    Alexander. See also Armen Victorian "Psychic Warfare and
    Non-lethal Weapons."

    [23] 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."

    [24] 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."

    [25] Sadly, Kim died in July 1996. She will rightly be
    remembered by many as the "grandmother" of independent
    researchers in this field.

    [26] Much similar effects have been reported, for instance,
    at the Women's Peace camp at Seneca, in New York state.

    [27] Psychic phenomena studies were, in fact, part of
    classified Pentagon programmes dating back over two decades.

    [28] I have certain caveats in citing this material. Firstly,
    I have written to two of the scientists quoted in the
    Spotlight article. To date neither replied either to confirm
    or deny their comments? Another, source quoted by Spotlight,
    Steve Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS)
    has confirmed that his comments were accurately recorded. 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.

    [29] See Brian Freemantle's "The Octopus" Orion Books Ltd,
    1995.

    [30] In a telephone conversation with this writer, researcher
    Armen Victorian urged caution when dealing with Ed Dames, who
    is considered to be "unreliable" by some.

    [31] See the Collected Works of Carl Gustav Jung for a
    background to the psychology of "projection." See also Noam
    Chomsky "World orders, Old and New (Pluto Press, London 1994),
    Page 1: "Control of the population is the major task of any
    state that is dominated by particular sectors of the domestic
    society and therefore functions primarily in their
    interest..." Chomsky clearly is pointing the finger at the
    "Elites" of western democracies in this regard. These include
    America and England (America's "proxy" in Chomsky's view).

    [32] Aggravated by narcotics related crime -- presently
    estimated to between $500 - $800 billion a year, thus an
    industry outstripping all other "business sectors" with the
    possible exception of the weapons industry. These figures
    extracted from Brian Freemantle's "The Octopus" Orion Books
    Ltd, 1995.

    [33] Especially some classes of EM weapons that are viewed as
    having a capability to remotely modify behavior or attack
    higher functions.

    [34] See Department of Defense Draft directive dated January
    1, 1995 outlining taking objectives for Non-Lethal Weapons.

    Consent" (Pantheon Books, New York, 1988).
