# Excalibur Briefing

## Lt. Col. Thomas E. Bearden

## Copyright 1978, Updated 1988

This review, like all articles on this site or emails written by "Eleanor White" is my opinion. As such it is not inherently factual, rather, these opinions are based on a 59-year-old engineer who has worked in electric power distribution, mechanical stress analysis, computer science, and has been a ham radio operator since age 12. I am not an expert in anything, but I understand enough technology to claim "informed guess" status.

beardzoh.htm is text from the "Zoh Show" in which some of Lt. Col. Bearden's theories are explained with much less jargon than the Excalibur Briefing book.

    INTRODUCTION

    Lt. Col. Thomas E. Bearden is a prolific writer and former electronic
    weapons researcher for the United States Air Force.  In 1985, he
    appered in a CNN "Special Assignment" segment discussing the then
    state of the art.  That video segment is avaliable from CNN, below:

    THE BOOK

    My copy of Excalibur Briefing, second edition, revised
    and expanded, 1988, carries ISBN # 0-914119-36-2, is published

    This review is based on reading during a 12-hour guard shift
    of about half the book's contents, with sections picked according
    to the table of contents.  The criterion to select was those
    sections which seemed to deal with the situation of involuntary
    "mind control" experimentees.

    First, as one might expect, I found this book to have three
    different aspects:

    - Negative points (my opinion)
    - Value neutral and sometimes questionable points (my opinion)
    - Positive, promising points (my opinion)

    This review then will present those three main areas here for the
    reader.  I have tried to describe the book using as little technical
    jargon as possible.

    At the very end, I try to summarize some of Bearden's main points
    as may apply to his theory and US, and remotely possibly, some of our
    own experiments.

    NEGATIVE POINTS

    1.  This book is HEAVY, slow reading at best.  If you are looking
        for something like, say, the Time-Life book series, this is
        not it.  It CANNOT stand alone as proof of anything, as assertions
        like Lt. Col. Bearden's are quite rare.  However, it can be used,
        to whatever extent Lt. Col. Bearden's qualifications will buy you,
        as a degree of backup for your experiences.

        Unfortunately, my copy does not have an "About the Author" section.

        I found most of the immediately useful stuff in the first 60 or
        so pages, and the last 60 or so pages.  The middle didn't seem
        too promising, but will be read as time allows.  (Additions will
        be made to this page and sent out by email.)

    2.  The book is rife with jargon that anyone without some heavy
        duty credentials in modern physics can fully understand.  However,
        there is enough lay-person understandable text that someone without
        a physics degree can still gain something from reading the book.

    3.  The subtitle is "Explaining Paranormal Phenomena".  From the
        text inside the actual book, it is clear that he feels SOME
        paranormal phenomena can be explained by natural but advanced
        physics.  In my opinion, he has NOT explained all paranormal
        phenomena, or UFO incidents, which are too varied and numerous
        to be explained by Lt. Col. Bearden's theories.

        As involuntary experimentees, it is urgent that we be on guard
        against sophisticated disinformation campaigns, as explained
        in an autumn 2000 email titled "Disinfo tactics predictions".
        That email outlined some really serious disinfo moves which
        our tormentors will probably use, as their exposure draws
        near:

        - "You are all suffering from geological piezo-electric or
          electromagnetic sensitivity and effects"

        - "You are all suffering from sensitivity to electric power
          lines and power wiring in your homes"

        - Rigged demonstrations, classified equipment covertly used
          to make the demos work to our discredit, such as:

          a. Exposure to 60 Hz throws us, at a demontstration, into
             convulsions and other visible effects, while non-victims
             are left untouched during the allegedly same conditions

          b. Fake demo equipment to mislead the public into thinking,
             for example, that conventional ultrasound can "see
             through walls" and that nothing more sophisticated is
             in use, while in fact, the classified viewing systems
             are driving the demo images.

        So I am not thrilled with the subtitle, "Explaining Parnormal
        Phenomena" since discreditation of our torment, and bona fide
        paranormal phenomena, could be attempted with books like this.

    VALUE NEUTRAL AND/OR QUESTIONABLE POINTS

    1.  Lt. Col. Bearden makes some extensive claims which may be true,
        but in my opinion, can overshadow the good points.  Examples:

        - That the Russians (Soviets when this book was written) have
          fully developed complex sophisticated weaponry, in the form
          of their "Woodpecker Signal" transmitters as of 1988, which
          can instantaneously

          a. Cause widespread disease in their "enemies" world wide
             including viral diseases like AIDS using electromagnetic
             signals alone

          b. Cause immunity to their own (Russian) citizens

          c. Other equally powerful anti-missile capabilities

        He may be right, but all I'm saying is that such claims may
        turn off readers to his more positive aspects.  I have trouble
        believing that viruses can be generated using electromagnetic
        signals for instance.

    POSITIVE, PROMISING POINTS

    For me, the most promising points of this book are the names of alleged
    devices which apparently tap into "hyperspace", which is a word for all
    the stuff we can't see or detect around us with our senses and unclassified
    equipment as of the year 2000.  For whatever respect Lt. Col. Bearden is
    due, this book powerfully backs up the existence of classified weapons
    which use a brand new type of physics.

    I'd like to comment though, that when I was an engineering undergrad in
    the early 60s, "hyperspace" was routinely discussed by physics majors who
    shared some of our courses, especially math courses.  It is not a new
    term.  This new "Superstring Theory" of the universe has made "hyperspace"
    a much more frequently quoted term.

    Additionally, we have one quiet, saintly gal in our group, Blanche
    Chavoustie, formerly of Aches-MC, who is both an MKULTRA institutional
    kidnap and implant victim, and continues to be dosed with advanced elec-
    tronic harassment.  Blanche has more VISIBLE phenomena that anyone else
    I've heard from.  Without going into details here, this book backs up her
    reports AND PHOTOS of 'strange lights', sometimes visible to her, sometimes
    only on camera.

    Bearden's book begins with his explanation of mysterious lights in
    Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey, which seem to behave in
    the same elusive manner as "Blanche's beams".  In the late 1970s, these
    lights were investigated by a group set up for the purpose called
    "Vestigia", P.O. Box 1183, Perth Amboy NJ 08861.  Some associated names
    are Robert E. Jones, James McGrath, and Bill Wagner.

    What is positive about Lt. Col. Bearden's detailed explanation at the
    beginning of this book is that IT LAYS THE FOUNDATION FOR THE EXISTENCE
    OF  EQUIPMENT  WHICH CAN PRODUCE EXOTIC EFFECTS.  As we all can
    appreciate, proving existence of EQUIPMENT is exactly the backup we need.
    All we have to do is guard against disinformation which simplifies the
    equipment down to "geo-electromagnetic waves" or "piezo-electric waves"
    or "power line sensitivity."  Double-edged sword, all the way.

    For me particularly, I'm very glad that this "foundation" finally brings
    "hyperspace" or, as Lt. Col. Bearden says more often, "hyperspatial"
    principles to light.  This should help the folks who are convinced the
    entire mind control issue comprises just microwave, acoustics, and
    electromagnetic implants.  The spending of life savings on shielding
    which cannot deal with the more powerful "hyperspatial" equipment is a
    tragic waste.

    Let me give you a couple of quotes to illustrate this:

    a.  I've had the "squeaky hinge" trick, in which a normally functioning
        hinge suddenly binds so tightly it can barely be moved, and does
        so with loud snaps as if the two halves are being pressed together
        with a huge force.  (Especially leaving or entering my apt.)

        Foreword:  "...we could instantly amplify the gravitational force
        between two electrons by a factor of 1,042 [!]  With such a
        gravitational force amplification factor, our altered "electrical"
        circuits could actually beome powerful electrogravitational
        circuits."

        Shades of remote object manipulation, anyone?

    b.  Foreword:  "Thus I make no bones about it; we have a new physics
        in the offing."

    c.  Page 165:  "With psychotronics, it is quite possible to extinguish
        electrical currents flowing in a circuit, or in the nervous system
        of a biological organism."

    ** DEVICES.  The book mentions some devices which, if an actual device,
    high quality documentation, or witnesses/inventors/family members could
    be found, would DRAMATICALLY move our cause ahead.  But let me explain
    that these devices are NOT described as using advanced psychotronics.

    Lt. Col. Bearden's point in including them in his book is that they
    represent "miraculous" devices that appear miraculous because they tap
    into the "hyperspace" and "scalar" realm.  Lt. Col. Bearden uses them to
    back up his own theories on how "this" worldly fields relate to "other"
    dimensional fields. Remember his entire point is to describe the "new
    physics" which his theories describe and in my opinion, are what is
    causing US so much grief:

    1.  The Moray Radiant Energy Device (start page 54):

        "In the early 1900s, Dr. T. Henry Moray of Salt Lake City produced
        his first device to tap energy from the metafrequency oscillations
        of empty space itself.  Eventually, Moray was able to produce a
        free energy device weighing sixty pounds  and producing 50,000 watts
        of electricity for several hours.  Ironically, although he demon-
        strated his device repeatedly to scientists and engineers, Moray was
        unable to obtain funding to develop the device further into a usable
        power station that would produce electrical power on a mass scale."

        [snip]

        "Once he even took the device several miles out in the country,
        away from all power lines, to prove that he was not simply tuning
        in to energy being clandestinely radiated from some other part of
        his laboratory.  Several times he allowed independent investigators
        to completely disassemble his device and reassemble it, then re-
        activate it themselves.  In all tests, he was successful in demon-
        strating that the device could produce energy output without any
        appreciable energy input.  According to exhaustive documentation,
        no one was ever able to prove that the device was fraudulent or that
        Moray had not accomplished exactly what he claimed."

        [snip]

        But in the face of all this, the U.S. Patent Office refused to grant
        Moray a patent, first, because his device used a cold cathode in the
        tubes (the patent examiner asserted it was common knowledge that a
        heated cathode was necessary to obtain electrons) and, second,
        becaue he failed to identify the source of the energy."

        [snip]

        "...nonetheless, the patent has still not been issued to this day,
        although the Morays still keep the patent application current."

        >> TIP FOR OUR INVESTIGATORS/RESEARCHERS!

    2.  The Priore Machine (start page 273):

        "The cure for cancer mentioned above is the Priore device in France,
        which has been curing cancer and other diseases for over a decade,
        much to the frustration of many members of the French Academy of
        Sciences.

        "Antoine Priore is an Italian-born inventor who escaped from the
        Germans in World War II and escaped to France."

        [snip]

        "...Priore explained consisted of an electromagnetic wave in a
        magnetic field.  Eventually the French Government spent almost three
        million dollars for the construction of a new, improved Priore
        machine, because Priore had shown he could cure cancers in labor-
        atory animals with the device.

        "In 1964 Professor Robert Courrier, renowned biologist and
        secretaire-perpetuel of the French Academy of Science, presented
        some of Priore's results to the Academy.  Forty eight cancerous
        rats had been divided into two groups of twenty four each.  One
        group was set aside without treatment as a control, and the other
        was divided into two groups of twelve each.  One of these sub-
        groups was treated by the Priore machine promptly after cancer
        grafts, and the other was treated after a lapse of several days.

        "Both subgroups were completely cured - the first quickly and
        the second after more prolonged treatment.  All the control rats
        died in twenty-two to thirty days after grafting.

        "The results created a furor and a controversy that have continued
        to the present day [1988].  Since the first presentation by Courrier,
        the machine has repeatedly cured leukemia and ohter forms of cancers
        in laboratory animals.  The controversy seems to have arisen because
        the French Academicians could not comprehend the working of the new
        machine, and because the inventor would not reveal how it worked but
        only how it was built."

        >> ANOTHER INVESTIGATIVE LEAD.

    3.  "Neutrinic wave devices" (start page 263):

        Dr. T. Henry Moray again.

        "At any rate, neutrinic longitudinally polarized waves often
        arrive at a distant point many times stronger than they were when
        they left [the transmitter].  T. Henry Moray, for example, built a
        radio and a sound detector that apparently worked by a version of
        neutrinic waves, condensed into electromagnetic waes, in his radio-
        detector apparatus.  Dr. Moray tested the radio scores of times
        between 1930 - 1933, and on several occasions received broadcasts
        from Admiral Byrd's party in the Antarctic.  Even when powerful,
        ordinary radios could receive nothing from Antarctica because of
        the severe weather conditions, Moray's little batteryless
        radio brought the broadcasts in, loud and clear, with no static.

        "Further, Moray demonstrated a sound pickup device of similar
        construction that could pick up or zoom in on SOUNDS five miles away.
        Again the sounds were loud and clear, with none of the distortions
        of weather conditions and background noise.

        "(See T. Henry Moray, The Sea of Energy in Which the Earth Floats,
        4th edition, 1960, pp 129, 133 and 143.)"

        [snip]

        "Tesla in fact patented a capacitive (E-field only) transmission
        system."

        >> ANYONE HAVE ACCESS TO THAT BOOK?

    4.  Bearden's basic points as to how this all works:

        I'm finishing up here by listing quick highlights of Bearden's main
        points:

        - The main idea is that conventional electric, magnetic, and
          electromagnetic fields CAN EASILY BE TRANSFORMED INTO FAR
          MORE EXOTIC STUFF IF YOU KNOW HOW.

        - In fact, Bearden asserts, the simple day to day process of
          modulation, like AM and FM, actually results in things
          happening in hyperspace - and that this is necessary for
          modulation to work at all.

        - You can transform conventional electromagnetic waves into
          more exotic stuff by "locking together perfectly two
          OPPOSING EM waves".

          What he is talking about is like the difference between a
          chemical COMPOUND an a MIXTURE.  In the mixture, the two
          or more components still retain their original properties.
          In a compound, the original individual properties are given
          up to yield something with entirely new properties.

          His "locking together of two opposed waves" turns electro-
          magnetic signals into "electrogravitational" signals.

          One place you see this take physical shape is web articles
          talking about "generating scalars" by simply driving a pair
          of concentrically wound coils with the same alternating
          current.  The idea is that this locks them together, generating
          a scalar.

          Remains to be shown, in my opinion.  I tried it once, and
          had the coils touching my head.  Nothing.

          But just as some chemical compounds have to be forced to
          combine using a suitable catalyst, I strongly suspect there
          is a way and we just need to find it.

        - Modulation is equivalent to taking the [calculus] derivative
          of the modulating waveform.

          To illustrate this, he gives a block diagram (not a schematic)
          of an improved "Flanagan Neurophone", in which the device
          is supposed to develop signals that use "hyperspace" to reach
          into the mind, even though the signals themselves, if simply
          played to a speaker, would sound like static.  (Shades of the
          Smirnov method of silent hypnosis?)

          Bearden claims that this is done like this:

          a.  Amplify the music or voice to a high level, then
              clip all the peaks so you have a low amplitude
              square wave with all the zero-crossings of the
              original intact.  (Very much like the Joseph
              Sharp voice to skull device.)

          b.  Pass this square wave through a stage which outputs
              the [calculus] derivative with respect to time.

              This gives zero output for the duration of the clipped
              peaks, with rapidly reversing spikes, once up, once
              down then back to zero, at each zero crossing.

          c.  (This is where, according to Bearden, you get into
              the realm of hyperspace) Then, pass this train of
              spikes through a SECOND [calculus] derivative stage.

              It is the output of this second derivative stage which
              forces signal components that make use of hyperspace
              to penetrate the mind directly.

          d.  An electrode on the skull (INSULATED since this is a
              Neurophone which uses insulated, capacitively coupled
              pads) and a second at any other point on the body
              complete the device.

    I could go on, but my purpose is only to HIGHLIGHT the book, not
    reproduce it.  I've tried staying away from jargon as much as possible.

    The book contains excellent bibliographic references, and to the extent
    you understand physics, a good glossary at the back.
