    It is not a far step from manipulating a person's emotional state to influ-
    encing bodily functions.  Indeed, much of the literature on documenting
    microwave effects on biological systems deals with precisely this phenom-
    enon.  In fact, studies of the physical effects of microwave exposure
    (including radio frequencies) generally preceeded studies of mental effects.

    A meeting sponsored by Defense & Foreign Affairs and the International
    Strategic Studies Association was held in Washington DC in 1983.  High-level
    officials from many countries met for this conference.   They discussed
    psychological strategies related to government and policymaking.  A summary
    of the agenda reads:  "The group will be discussing the essence of future
    policymaking, for it msut be increasingly clear to all that the most effec-
    tive tool of government and strategy is the mind...  If it's any consolation
    to the weapons-oriented among defense policymakers, the new technologies of
    communications -- satellites, television, radio, and mind-control
    beams -- are 'systems' which are more tangible than the more
    philosophically  based psychological strategies and operations.

    "But we should make no mistake; it will be the 'psychologically based'
    systems which determine the world's fate in coming years:  the condition of
    the minds of populations and leaders.  And we should not ignore the fact
    that the USSR [this was in 1983] is working on electronic systems to
    'beam' messages directly into the brain.  What good, then, are conventional
    systems if these types of weapons are not countered?  And, on a more basic
    level, what good is a weapon system if public opinion or political con-
    straints prohibit its deployment?" [13]

    It is obvious that they found the answer to that last question.  If the
    public does not know about a weapon system, it cannot prohibit its deploy-
    ment.  This is the situtation that applies to mind-control technology.

    MIND CONTROL AGAINST 'POTENTIAL' ENEMIES

    The US military is aware that certain actions or procedures may not be
    acceptable to the American public.  Metz and Kievit express these concerns
    in their paper, "The Revolution in Military Affairs and Short Conflict War."
    [14]  "The use of new technology may also run counter to basic American
    values.  Information age -- and in particular, information warfare  --
    technologies cause concerns about privacy...  American values also make the
    use of directed-energy weapons ... morally difficult, perhaps unacceptable.
    The advantage of directed-energy weapons over conventional ones is
    deniability.

    "Against whom is such deniability aimed? ... deniability
    must be aimed at the American people."
