    In an article entitled "Non-Lethal Weapons May Violate
    Treaties",[13] the author notes that the Certain Conventional
    Weapons Convention[14] covers many of the non-conventional
    weapons—"those that utilize infrasound or electromagnetic energy
    (including lasers, microwave or radiofrequency radiation, or
    visible light pulsed at brainwave frequency) for their effects".

    Harlan Girard, Managing Director of the International Committee
    Against Offensive Microwave Weapons, told me he believes the
    strategy behind the government's recent push for less-than-lethal
    weapons is a subterfuge. The ones that are now getting all the
    publicity are put up for scrutiny to get the public's approval. The
    electromagnetic mind-altering technologies are not mentioned, but
    would be brought in later under the umbrella of less-than- lethal
    weapons.

    These weapons were recently transferred from the Department of
    Defense over to the Department of Justice. Why? Because there are
    several international treaties that specifically limit or exclude
    weapons of this nature from being used in international warfare.

    In other words, weapons that are barred from use against our
    country's worst enemies (notwithstanding the fact that the US did
    use this weapon against Iraqi troops!) can now be used against our
    own citizens by the local police departments against such groups as
    peaceful protestors of US nuclear policies.

    TOWARDS GLOBAL MIND CONTROL

    The secrecy involved in the development of the electromagnetic
    mind-altering technology reflects the tremendous power that is
    inherent in it. To put it bluntly, whoever controls this technology
    can control the minds of men-all men.

    There is evidence that the US Government has plans to extend the
    range of this technology to envelop all peoples, all countries.
    This can be accomplished, is being accomplished, by utilising the
    nearly completed HAARP project[15,16] for overseas areas and the
    GWEN network now in place in the US. The US Government denies all
    this.

    Dr Michael Persinger is a Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience
    at Laurentian University, Ontario, Canada. You have met him before
    in the pages of Resonance where we reported on his findings that
    strong electromagnetic fields can affect a person's brain.

    "Temporal lobe stimulation," he said, "can evoke the feeling of a
    presence, disorientation, and perceptual irregularities. It can
    activate images stored in the subject's memory, including
    nightmares and monsters that are normally suppressed."[17]
