    REVIEW:

    Let me state first that when I read a book on the subject of
    electronic torture/mind control/organized stalking (which
    usually accompanies electronic harassment) that I am mainly
    interested in HOW WELL THIS BOOK CAN SUPPORT ACTIVISM TO
    EXPOSE AND STOP THESE CRIMES.

    I'm a retired engineer, not a literary person.  For me, and
    for those readers who are targeted by electronic harassment,
    which includes "mind control", we need usable information.
    I don't comment on the usual literary abilities of the writer,
    and this book is definitely intended to convey information,
    not be a "literary work."

    Overall, with some exceptions, I feel the author, Steve
    Lynch, has accomplished conveying useful information quite
    well.

    Particularly useful is Lynch's ability to SHORTEN each
    subject, making sections of this book handy to show to
    naysayers - hostile family members, doctors, law enforcement,
    politicians.  He has done us a real service by putting this
    information into one handy place.

    Foreword:

    In Cheryl Welsh's foreword, she makes this statement:

      "Most people do not believe the U.S. and Russian
      governments have weapons that can remotely target
      a person anywhere in the world, read their thoughts,
      beam messages to their brain, control every nerve
      in their body and cause great pain."

    Bravo to Cheryl for mentioning a very large part of what
    today's electronic remote torture weapons can do and do
    do.

    Cheryl praises the book's thorough research and ample
    footnotes, and non-technical writing style, and she laments
    that still, this book isn't as "mainstream" as she might
    like.  Cheryl acknowledges that life doesn't always go the
    way we might like, however, and allows that maybe the "shot
    of reality" portrayed in this book can sometimes be a jolt
    that shatters preconceived notions.

    1.  Of Mice, Men and Big Brother

    In this chapter, the author describes Tempest, the remote
    PC screen reading technology, the article by Timothy L.
    Thomas titled "The Mind Has No Firewall" which appeared
    in the U.S. Army War College Quarterly, issue of Spring,
    1998.  He mentions the Malech patent, proposing a method
    for remotely monitoring and altering brainwaves.

    (Remotely monitoring, without implants, has yet to be
    demonstrated publicly.  However, remotely altering EEG
    activity has been doable for half a century, by pulsing
    radio signals, first done by an old medical device named
    the Lida machine.)

    Author Steve Lynch reports on an article from an online
    newsletter, Physics News Update, claiming remote reading
    of a person's brainwaves without the usual EEG in-scalp
    electrodes.  I couldn't get that 2002 link to display,
    however, other researchers online have found articles
    about detecting EEG signals without contact electrodes.

    Since EEG signals are only a few MICROvolts, and since
    the environment is full of even stronger competing
    signals, non-contact EEG reading, as far as I've seen
    from articles discussed on line, is strictly a very
    short range affair.  As a retired professional engineer,
    I need definitive proof before I would endorse the
    reading of microvolt signals at the distances experienced
    by targets of electronic harassment.

    It's great Steve Lynch mentions microwave "voice to skull"
    technology, by way of U.S. patent 4,858,612, however it's
    unfortunate he didn't mention the successful demonstration
    of this by Dr. Joseph Sharp, published at a joint meeting
    of faculties of psychology and engineering at the
    University of Utah in August, 1974.

    Patents don't mean the invention was actually
    demonstrated, instead, they mean the Patent Office
    considers that the invention has potential for benefitting
    society.  So reports of actual demonstrations are the most
    valuable items to be published, with the patents as
    supporting information.  Patents DO demonstrate intent,
    and demonstrating intent is also very important.

    2.  Behavioral Modification

    Chapter 2 outlines the MKULTRA era, the known programs
    taking place during the Cold War years of the 50s through
    the early 70s.

    It must impress readers who are not aware of electronic
    harassment and "mind control" that Delgado's remote
    "stimoceiver" (skull-mounted radio receiver with implants
    in the subject's brain) was successfully demonstrated;
    glad to see that included in the book.

    Steve Lynch does an excellent job of condensing into a
    clear, easily read section of chapter 2 on brainwashing,
    and milestones in the CIA brainwashing research done in
    the MKULTRA era.

    3.  Science Gone Mad

    Chapter 3 does an excellent job of reporting on the MKULTRA
    sub-project 68 crimes, the involuntary personality erasure
    experiments by "Dr." Ewen Cameron at the Allan Memorial
    (psychiatric) Institute at Montreal, Canada.  This is a
    very important crime report, as the victims eventually won
    a significant victory by suing the CIA, and although it was
    an out of court settlement, the CIA had to pay.

    Cameron's crimes prove beyond doubt that government DOES
    commit horrific crimes.  It can not be denied.

    And, Steve Lynch's talent for getting the important points
    displayed in brief, easy reading chapters is evident.

    4.  Exposure
    5.  CIA Legal Strategy

    Chapters 4 and 5 expand on the law suit by Cameron's
    Montreal victims, titled "Orlikow vs. The United States."

    Chances are if Cameron had not chosen the wife of Canadian
    Member of Parliament David Orlikow, the outcome might not
    have been successful.  It's great when the perpetrators of
    these crimes mess up!

    6.  Psychotronics

    In this book, author Lynch uses "psychotronics" as the
    Russian name for electromagnetic mind control weapons.
    Readers should keep in mind, if they should look up the
    term psychotronics on the web, that there is another,
    older meaning, which refers to practitioners which use
    NON-energized electronic components, in conjunction
    with psychic ability of the operator, to heal.

    Personally, I prefer "electronic harassment" as that has
    a specific rather than a dual meaning.  None the less,
    for conversations with the general public, psychotronics
    will do.

    Steve Lynch uses quotes from Cheryl Welsh and Lt. Col.
    Timothy L. Thomas (article, "The Mind Has No Firewall")
    to declare that "psychotronic" attack is very possible.

    7.  Political Psychiatry

    Chapter 7 presents references showing the Soviet abuse of
    psychiatry to control people and suppress dissent.  While
    many of today's adults are aware of that, having this
    chapter available gives references which an activist can
    use to counter statements that psychiatry can't be wrong
    or can't be abused.

    Electronic harassment and organized stalking targets are
    often accused of mental illness.

    This chapter also reminds us of the power, potential criminal
    power, of neuroleptic or psychotropic drugs.  Again, very
    handy to have.  Lots of good footnotes to back up the
    information.

    Introduction to Part 2

    Part 2 switches to, according to the Introduction, "... an
    account of an aggressive covert governmental operation and
    of that operation's initial target, a man who wound up on
    the receiving end of their high-tech electronic barrage."

    This story starts in 1992 in the state of Illinois.

    The author mentions a prisoner with "anti-Zionist opinions"
    as a possible motive for targeting the prisoner.  (More
    than simply an "anti-Zionist", the prisoner, quote, "had
    been a believer in National Socialism", from which the
    term Nazi had sprung.)

    I, Eleanor White, listen to many of the shortwave based
    programs of a loosely organized educate-the-public actvist
    group which are referred to as the U.S. Patriot Movement,
    or Truth Movement.  I've been a listener for four years
    now, and being retired, I've heard many of their broadcasts.

    They have guests from many professions - doctors,
    politicians, military officers, journalists, researchers,
    and activists against government and corporate crimes.

    I bring this up to explain to the reader that there are two
    groups which get fairly consistent blame for government
    and corporate crime.  One is Zionists, who are people working
    to promote the interests of the Israeli government and should
    NOT be confused with people of the Jewish faith.  The claim
    is that Zionists infiltrate governments everywhere and their
    loyalty is the government of Israel, and not the government
    where they are actually employed.

    (The other group, for background information, is the Roman
    Catholic hierarchy, and in particular the Society of Jesus,
    also known as the Jesuits.  The Jesuits have been accused
    of infiltrating all levels of government everywhere, and
    fostering or directly committing serious crimes.)

    When reading this book, "Remote Control", this background
    might explain why someone could get chosen as a target,
    especially if the allegations against the Zionists prove to
    be true.  I, Eleanor White, am not a political researcher
    and can make no authoritative statements as to the
    culpability of the Zionists.

    Author Steve Lynch alleges that government now (1992) would
    like to "take out" activists they consider a threat, but
    now have no need to, as new technology allows them to destroy
    people from the inside.

    And at the end of chapter 7, Lynch claims there is a "paper
    trail of damning documentation" which shows the existence
    of a program, which he gives his own name to, "Brainscan."

    8.  Targeted

    This chapter, and those following, report on the corruption
    in the legal system of Illinois, the setting of this story of
    "the prisoner" who is the central character.

    9.  Nightmare

    Though "the prisoner's" story takes place in a prison, as it
    unfolds, it is a mirror image of the types of harassment
    many people are now reporting as "organized stalking" and
    "electronic harassment."

    The fundamental weapon used against an organized stalking
    target is the LIE.  Lies are continuously spread among those
    who associate with the target, isolating and humiliating the
    target, depriving the target of all fundamental rights, and
    destroying the target's quality of life.

    Steve Lynch's story of organized stalking inside an Illinois
    prison illustrates organized stalking, along with electronic
    harassment perfectly.

    My regret is that the unaware public really don't care if
    prisoners are lied about, group stalked, or electronically
    harassed, and unfortunately, this may reduce the effectiveness
    of this book as an activism aid.  But that is a generalization,
    and the book is very well written and may well, as Cheryl
    Welsh suggests in her foreword, compel the attention of an
    open-minded reader.

    The title of chapter 9 is very appropriate:  The Nightmare.

    The prisoner received forced drugging of psychotropic drugs.
    That is indeed a nightmare, one which a number of targets
    of organized stalking and electronic harassment have been
    forced to endure.

    The prisoner had made the "mistake" of asserting that "the
    government" was torturing him, reading his mind, mining it
    for information about his "Nazi" associates.  That brought
    psychotropic drugs.  When you are an organized stalking
    and electronic harassment target, you DO NOT mention the
    harassment, nor do you mention whom you think is responsible,
    if you want even a shred of freedom left.

    10. The Special Treatment Center
    11. State Terror
    12. Against All Odds
    13. Triumph of the Will
    14. Bouncing Back
    15. Damage Control and Hook-up City
    16. Back on Track
    17. Changes
    18. Transfer
    19. Research
    20. Government Operatives Miscalculate and
        Drop The Ball
    21. And Then It Was Gone
    22. Wind Chill Factor
    23. Orange Crush
    24. Sovietization of the Legal System

    This short chapter describes a very noteworthy U.S. Supreme
    Court decision, Kansas v. Hendricks, which, as described by
    the author:

      "That decision gave prosecutors, nation-wide, the green
      light to use PREVENTATIVE DETENTION laws against people
      who are not mentally ill."

    Not mentally ill, but who have demonstrated a pre-disposition
    to "dangerousness."  And who decides "dangerousness?"  The
    psychiatric system, naturally.  In short, Soviet-style
    psychiatry.

    25. The Best Defense
    26. Move/Countermove
    27. The Ultimate "Manchurian Candidate"
    28. Release
    29. "Conquering the Human Mind"
    30. Big Brother Is Watching You
    31. What Are You Going To Do When They Come For You?

    All the above chapters which don't have specific comments
    largely relate the story of what it is like to be an
    electronic harassment/organized stalking target, in the
    special situation of being a prisoner.  Being
    institutionalized AND a target is NOT a happy situation,
    and the author describes what it is like to face both,
    over a period of years.

    A reader who visits web sites related to electronic
    harassment, organized stalking, and/or "mind control"
    which is part of electronic harassment, will see that
    there are many people who are heavily harassed and
    tortured with the same types of methods.

    Appendix 1 - Documents

    These documents are mainly photocopies of prison
    administrative documents relating to the prisoner's
    years of incarceration.  Kind of amazing he was able
    to produce such a collection of documents.

    Appendix 2 - A Short List of Actual Patents
                 Worth Taking a Quick Look At

    Patents are indeed helpful with activism - they show
    clearly the intent to produce devices capable of highly
    invasive manipulation of the brain and nervous system,
    involuntarily, at a distance, wirelessly.

    OVERALL:

    Overall, I would call this an interesting book, which
    provides quite a bit of well-referenced information in
    a single paperback volume.  Maybe a story book format
    has more persuasive value for some people, and the bulk
    of this book is a story.

    There is some chance it may help persuade, say, a semi-
    open-minded family member that what a target has to say
    should at the very least not be dismissed.  That is a
    very important first step.
