    In my Electromagnetic Weapons Timeline[9] I covered a period of 60
    years of interest and development in EM weapons—information
    gathered from the many articles and news clippings sent in by
    readers of Resonance. In my article on synthetic telepathy[10] I
    traced the development of the 'voice in your head' technology
    dating back to 1961, all my references coming from the open
    scientific literature.

    POWER OF THE MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

    Jan Wiesemann has written an apt description of the situation which
    now exists in the United States, about the 'forces that be' and how
    the situation came about:

    "During the Cold War the United States not only engaged in a
    relatively open nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union, but also
    engaged in a secret race developing unconventional weapons. As the
    intelligence agencies (which prior to the Second World War had
    merely played a supporting role within the government) continued to
    increase their power, so did the funds spent on developing
    techniques designed to outsmart each other.

    "And as the US intelligence community began to grow, a secret
    culture sprang about which enabled the intelligence players to
    implement the various developed techniques to cleverly circumvent
    the democratic processes and institutions...

    "Like many other democracies, the US Government is made up of two
    basic parts the elected constituency, i.e., the various governors,
    judges, congressmen and the President; and the unelected
    bureaucracies, as represented by the numerous federal agencies.

    "In a well-balanced and correctly functioning democracy, the
    elected part of the government is in charge of its unelected
    bureaucratic part, giving the people a real voice in the agenda set
    by their government.

    "While a significant part of the US Government no doubt follows
    this democratic principle, a considerable portion of the US
    Government operates in complete secrecy and follows its own
    unaccountable agenda which, unacknowledged, very often is quite
    different from the public agenda. "[11]

    Jan goes on to quote one of the United States' most popular war
    heroes: Dwight D. Eisenhower, who served as Supreme Commander of
    Allied Forces during World War II and was later elected 34th
    President of the United States. In his farewell address to the
    nation in 1961, President Eisenhower said:

                                    -71-
