CIA and NSA MKULTRA MIND CONTROL and MIND READING TECHNOLOGIES

[NSA TORTURE TECHNOLOGY, NEWS and RESEARCH]

The capacity of the U.S. intelligence services to modify human
perception and behaviour through chemical means is enormous, given
their vast resources and intimate connections with drug trafficking
(see DEALING IN DEATH: The CIA and the Drugs Trade). In fact it was
the CIA who introduced LSD to the U.S. population in the late 1950s,
while testing its potential as a "truth serum" in universities.

However, there are many other disquieting methods of thought control
currently being explored by covert security agencies in the West.

Despite protestations by the CIA to the contrary, clandestine research
into all areas of mind control and manipulation is one of their
largest fields of development, and involves not only the CIA but
various sinister organisations and research laboratories working on
behalf of the intelligence services.

Much of what follows uses information that has only recently been
declassified under Freedom of Information Act appeals filed three
years previously....


THE CIA AND LSD

The work of various groups and individuals employed by the CIA to
research mind control through the use of drugs, mirrors the notorious
experiments by Nazi doctors at Dachau, who used mescaline as a means
of eliminating their victims' will to resist interrogation. After
World War II, a number of Nazi chemical warfare specialists went to
work for the American secret services. These scientists included Karl
Tauboeck, whose attempts to find a reliable "truth serum" for the CIA
involved ruthless human experimentation. Karl Rarh and Hans Turit also
continued their wartime experimentation with the nerve gases Tabun and
Sarin (which are closely related to the Zyklon B gas used in the Nazi
concentration camps) and other chemicals for the CIA.

In the early 1950s, the CIA embarked on a series of mind-control and
drug experiments on unwitting American and Canadian victims. Project
BLUEBIRD was established in 1950 to research mind control for the CIA.
The Agency contacted academics and other experts who specialised in
behaviour modification. Liaison was established with the research
sections of police departments and criminology laboratories. Medical
practitioners, professional hypnotists arid psychiatrists were brought
In as paid consultants, and various branches of the military provided
assistance. Often, these arrangements involved a cover to conceal the
Agency's interest in the subject.


A memo, dated July 13th 1951, described BLUEBIRD's efforts as "broad
and comprehensive, involving both domestic and overseas activities,
and taking into consideration the programmes and objectives of other
departments, principally the military services." BLUEBIRD's activities
were "designed to create an exploitable alteration of personality in
selected individuals". Specific targets included "potential agents,
defectors, refugees, POWs" and a vague category of "others." The
programme was re-christened ARTICHOKE in 1951.

When the CIA had difficulties finding the ideal truth drug, agents
were sent out around the world to gather samples of rare herbs and
botanicals. One cocaine derivative, procaine, was injected into the
frontal lobes of the brain via trephine holes drilled through the
skulls of mental patients. However, repeated failure of cocaine and
its derivatives led the Agency to look into heroin as a possible mind
control drug. According to a CIA document dated April 26th 1952,
heroin was "frequently used by police and intelligence officers on a
routine basis in interrogation." CIA operatives determined that heroin
and other habit-forming substances "can be useful in reverse because
of the stress produced when they are withdrawn from those who are
addicted to their use."

The name of the programme was changed again in 1953 to MKULTRA, which
primarily focused on the covert study of the hallucinogenic drug
lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) for military or intelligence purposes
as either a weapon or a tool for brainwashing.


The CIA funded many individuals in the private sector on LSD research.
Dr Max Rinkel, Dr Paul Hoch, Dr Joylon West, Dr Harris Isbell and Dr
Carl Pfeiffer worked as contract employees for the Agency in this
sphere. Like the Nazi doctors at Dachau, the CIA victimised groups of
people who were unable to resist: prisoners, mental patients,
foreigners, the terminally ill and ethnic minorities.

One project took place at the Addiction Research Centre of the U.S.
Public Health Service Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky. This was
ostensibly a place where heroin addicts could go to kick their habits,
but unknown to the patients, it was in fact one of fifteen penal and
mental institutions used by the CIA in its drug development programme.
To conceal its role, the Agency enlisted the aid of the Navy and the
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) which served as conduits
for channelling CIA money to Dr Harris Isbell, a research scientist
who remained on the Agency's payroll for over a decade. When the CIA
came across a new drug (usually supplied by U.S. pharmaceutical firms)
that needed testing, they sent it to Isbell at Lexington, where an
ample supply of captive human guinea pigs was available. Over 800
compounds were tested by Isbell, including LSD and a variety of
hallucinogens.


At the Georgetown University Hospital, Professor Charles Geschickter
lent his name to a CIA research front foundation, the Geschickter Fund
for Medical Research, and tested mind-control drugs on psychiatric and
terminally ill cancer patients. LSD research for MKULTRA was also
conducted at 44 colleges and universities in the United States in the
mid-1950s.


Students from Harvard and other Boston area universities were among
those who were given doses of LSD through the MKULTRA programme at the
Boston Psychopathic Hospital, now the Massachusetts Mental Health
Center. Another CIA-front organisation used for MKULTRA was the Human
Ecology Fund at Madison.

"We have no answer to the moral issue."

CIA director RICHARD HELMS, on the Agency's MKULTRA programme of
illegal experimentation with mind-controlling drugs on unwitting
victims. Helms ordered the destruction of MKULTRA records to prevent
disclosure by investigating committees.


On November 28th 1953, Frank Olson, one of the nation's top biological
warfare experts, died after falling from the 13th floor of a Manhattan
hotel, while CIA doctor Robert Lashbrook was "asleep" in the room.
Olson was a victim of MKULTRA, murdered by the CIA because he was a
security risk. Olson had told his wife that he had made a "terrible
mistake" and wanted to quit his job. Congressional hearings in 1975
revealed that nine days before his death, a CIA scientist had given
Olson an after-dinner drink of Cointreau that was laced with LSD. The
normally cheerful researcher then sank into a deep paranoid depression
and he was checked into the Statler Hilton under the supervision of
Lashbrook.


On the night of Olson's death, Lashbrook called neither an ambulance
nor police. Instead he dialled a number on Long Island. According to
the testimony of the night manager Armand Pastore, who listened in on
the conversation, Lashbrook said, "Well, he's gone." The other man
replied, "That's too bad," and both hung up.

In July 1994, Professor of Law and Forensic Science James Starrs
examined Olson's body and found evidence that he described as
"sinister." There were "so many fractures in the skull that it is not
possible that he received this type of injury simply from falling out
of a window.... it would not be possible unless he was on a
trampoline." Starrs also found no evidence of glass cuts from smashing
though the window which were reported in the original autopsy.


Frank Olson had worked closely with the U.S. Army's Chemical Corps'
Special Operations Division (SOD) at Fort Detrick in Maryland and the
surviving records show that U.S. Army Intelligence continued to carry
out LSD tests on unsuspecting victims after his death. Tests were run
simulating diplomatic cocktail parties where 30 to 35 volunteers were
served drinks containing LSD. Trained interrogators then tried to
extract classified information about the volunteers' special duties.
During the course of the "parties" the interrogators, without the
knowledge of their subjects, administered additional doses of LSD.
None of the volunteers gave their informed consent prior to receiving
the drug and there was a deliberate attempt to deny them any
information that would have permitted them to evaluate the dangers
involved. According to the testimony of one of the volunteers, Charles
Shirley Jr, in August 1975, the brief given to them was that if they
declined to participate in the tests it would put them in immediate
disfavour with their superiors.


After the first phase of experiments in November 1958, a letter from
the Chief of Clinical Division at Edgewood Arsenal Research
Laboratories (EARL) in Maryland to Commanding General Army
Intelligence Centre stated that all the initial work was completed
with rewarding results andrecommended that "actual application of the
material [LSD] be utilised in real situations." It is hard to believe
that such a recommendation could be given on a drug with such
unpredictable and potentially dangerous results after tests on only 35
volunteers.


On April 9th 1959, the Chemical Warfare Laboratory and the
Intelligence Centre proposed the use of LSD overseas on "non-volunteer
foreign nationals" to test its use as an aid to interrogation. This
continuation of the research in foreign countries was specifically in
order to do things that were forbidden by U.S. law. The U.S. Surgeon
General concurred in the plan and offered "no medical objections."
Thus began Operation Third Chance in Europe, the surreptitious
administration of LSD to the drinks of unwitting subjects in social
environments. This operation paved the way for similar experiments in
the U.S. Army Pacific and elsewhere. A favourite plan of the CIA
involved slipping P-1 (the codename for LSD when used operationally)
to socialist or left-leaning politicians so that they would "babble
incoherently and discredit themselves in public."

Despite another report in 1963 recommending the termination of testing
LSD on unwitting subjects, the CIA's Deputy Director for Plans,
Richard Helms, continued to advocate covert testing of the drug. On
the subject of moral issues in connection with these illicit human
experiments, Helms commented: "We have no answer to the moral issue."


Almost twenty years after the introduction of LSD, and dozens of
psychological casualties later, a study by the Bureau of Narcotics and
Dangerous Drugs reported that LSD's early use by the American public
began "among small groups of intellectuals at large eastern and
western coast universities. It spread to undergraduate students, then
to other campuses. Most often, users have been introduced to the drug
by persons of higher status. Teachers have influenced students;
upperclassmen have influenced lowerclassmen." Ironically, the CIA,
during its MKULTRA experimentation, initiated the 1960s' psychedelic
explosion.


This may have been unwitting but it may also have been a deliberate
effort to undermine the anti-establishment protest culture of the
time. In the late 1960s and early 70s, New York biochemist Ronald
Stark was one of the world's leading suppliers of LSD (which he
produced at his illicit laboratories in Europe); Stark was widely
suspected (as he himself claimed) of being attached to the CIA project
later to be revealed as MKULTRA.

The Brotherhood of Eternal Love, a hippie religious organisation based
in Laguna Beach, California, supplied ample quantities of LSD to the
local hippies and eventually acquired a sophisticated network of
smuggling hashish and LSD to the whole United States.


Billy Hitchcock served as banker for the Brotherhood, maintaining an
account with Castle Bank, which had been set up by the CIA as a front
for covert narcotics and money laundering operations (see DEALING IN
DEATH: The CIA and the Drugs Trade). Hitchcock also poured the sum of
$5 million into "litter stocks" which were associated with Mary Carter
Paint Company (known later as Resorts International), which was
suspected of having links to organised crime. When the company
constructed a casino in the Bahamas, the star guest on opening day was
none other than Richard Nixon, who was about to run for president.
Strange bedfellows indeed for influential figures involved in the
psychedelic movement. (In 1970 Resorts International formed a private
intelligence corporation called Intertel, which was staffed largely by
ex-CIA, NSA, Interpol and Justice Department officials. Intertel
rented its services to a wide range of corporate clients, including
ITT, McDonald's and Howard Hughes' Summa Corporation).


Ronald Stark later took over Hitchcock's position of banker for the
Brotherhood of Etemal Love and was involved in overseeing their LSD
operation. For someone who was just known as a person helping the
hippie movement, Stark kept a mysterious profile. He travelled to all
the drug factories and hippie communes across the U.S., and stayed in
rich hotels and private clubs, mingling with the rich and famous. He
also operated a cocaine ring in the Bay Area. Since Stark took over
the running of the Brotherhood, it became the single most productive
manufacturer of LSD in the United States. 50 million doses (20 kilos)
of the drug were mostly sold in the U.S.


Stark was imprisoned in Italy from 1975 to 1979, following his
involvement with a gang of drug-dealing fascist terrorists. While in
jail in Bologna, he received a vast number of visitors from the
British and American consulates. According to the judge who released
him from prison in April 1979, "an impressive series of scrupulously
enumerated proofs" showed that "from 1960 onwards, Stark belonged to
the American secret services."


Technically, MKULTRA was closed in 1964 but some of its programmes
remained active under the name of Project MKSEARCH well into the I
970s. In 1973, tipped off about forthcoming investigations, CIA
Director Richard Helms ordered the destruction of all MKULTRA records.
Three years later, in testimony to the Church Committee, Helms
confessed that the CIA had destroyed the files "so that anybody who
assisted us in the past would not be subject to follow-up questions,
embarrassment if you will."


The key researcher for the CIA-Army LSD tests was Dr Albert Kligman
from the University of Pennsylvania. In the mid-1960s, Kligman founded
the Ivy Research Laboratories (IRL), the conduit for EARL to perform
experiments on humans which were not possible even under the dubious
ethics of EARL's programmes. Records show that in 1971, the CIA
provided Kligman with $37,000 to test a classified potentially
incapacitating psycho-chemical compound known only as EA3167. Kligman
tested this on human subjects, including prisoners from Holmesburg
Prison in Pennsylvania.


Similarly, Dr Robert Heath carried out work for the CIA at the
Department of Psychiatry and Neurology at Tulane University in New
Orleans, one of several U.S. Army research centres at which 3,000
doses of LSD were given to about 1,500 subjects in secret studies.

University, 1966.


So what were the implications of LSD? The CIA sought the perfect truth
serum; unsuccessful in this, the Agency then used LSD on the basis of
how it could affect social and political awareness. One of the MKULTRA
manuals that was destroyed at the behest of Richard Helms was entitled
"Some Unpsychadelic Effects!" No-one can be sure what the CIA meant by
this, but the fact remains that the new left movement that was growing
in America in the 1960s was drastically disrupted by the widespread
use of LSD, with millions of peace-loving youths becoming somewhat
less conscious about the world around them.

OTHER MKULTRA PROJECTS


In response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by John
Marks in 1977, additional MKULTRA records were discovered in financial
files held by the Office of Technical Services which had not been
indexed under the name MKULTRA. These documents, dating back to 1963,
revealed that MKULTRA was "concerned with research and development
ofchemical, biological and radiological materials capable of
employment in clandestine operations to control human behaviour," and
that "radiation was one of the additional avenues to control human
behaviour." In an undated Memorandum for the Record in MKULTRA
Sub-project 86, Dr Wallace Chan proposed "radio-isotopes with
predetermined half-lives, selectively implanted and/or injected; and
radiologically opaque foreign bodies selectively implanted and/or
injected into predetermined sites in the human body."


The Canadian MKULTRA programme took place at the Allan Memorial
Institute (AMI), the psychiatric wing of Royal Victoria Hospital in
Montreal. AMI's director from 1943 to 1964 was Dr. Donald Ewen
Cameron, who called his experimental techniques "depatterning" and
"psychic driving." Cameron subjected his patients to heavy doses of
drugs combined with electric shock treatment, technically known as
Electro-Convulsive Therapy (ECT), but not as Cameron practised it. In
standard professional ECT, the patient is given a single dose of 110
volts lasting afraction of a second.

Cameron used a dosage twenty to forty times more intense, two to
three times a day, with the power turned up to 150V. The frequent
screams of patients that echoed through the hospital did not deter
Cameron and his associates in their attempts to "de-pattern" their
subjects completely. Sometimes Cameron would combine this treatment
with up to 35 days of prolonged sensory deprivation in a sealed
environment. This constituted the "depatterning" phase of the
treatment, at the end of which the patient's mind would be "more or
less in a childlike and unconcerned state."


Cameron would then attempt to reprogram his victims with his "psychic
driving" techniques, which consisted of messages played on tape
recorders, repeated thousands of times through headphones. Usually ten
days of "negative signals," stressing the patient's presumed
inadequacies, would be followed by ten days of "positive" messages,
encouraging the desired behaviour. Psychic driving would take place
for continuous periods of up to 16 hours per day.


The CIA invited Cameron to apply for funding from the Society for the
Investigation of Human Ecology, a CIA front. From 1957 to 1962, the
Agency supported Cameron's work with grants totally $84,820. The
"psychic driving" research was code-named MKULTRA Sub-project 38.


Cameron, the architect of these inhuman experiments which amounted to
little more than torture, was elected chairman of the American
Psychiatric Association in 1952 and later became the founding chairman
of the World Psychiatric Association. In 1966, he was awarded the
Canadian Mental Health Award for his services to the profession. Such
honours would hardly have met with the approval of the Canadian
victims of the MKULTRA experiments, some of whom recently sued the CIA
for irreparable mental damage.

A series of mind-altering drug tests and electric-shock experiments
were also carried out on inmates of the Californian prisons of
Vacaville and Atascadero during the 1960s. Some of these were
particularly directed against gay inmates, attempting to "convert"
them to heterosexuality. Blanche Wiesen Cooke, a New York history
professor, has raised the question of whether AIDS may have developed
as a result of such experiments.


Mind control research was transferred from MKULTRA to the Office of
Research and Development (ORD) in 1963, and the U.S. Army officially
terminated their LSD experiments at that time. However it has recently
been revealed that their British counterparts, the Chemical and
Biological Defence Establishment (CBDE) at Porton Down took over and
continued these experiments. In 1993, Graham Pearson, the Director of
CBDE, disclosed that they carried out LSD tests on 72 service
volunteers, on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, between 1961 and
1972. This was the first official admission that the British
government had carried out secret mind-control tests on human guinea
pigs.


In the early 1970s, one of MKULTRA's payrolled scientists, Dr Joylon
West, was involved in planning a secret camp in California for
"comparative studies.... of experimental or model programs for the
alteration of undesirable behaviour" and the "study and reduction of
violence." Proposed by then Governor Ronald Reagan, this centre would
"predict the probability of occurrences of violence" according to
ethnic population grouping. When asked how the subjects would be
obtained for the experiments, Edwin Meese, Reagan's executive
secretary at the time (later to become U.S. Attorney General),
replied: "We'll kidnap them!" (H.W. Bowart suggests that the many
cases of "alien abductions" reported [and apparently sincerely
believed] by American citizens may be evidence of psychological
programming experiments by the security services).


The camp would "test chemical castration, psychosurgery and
experimental drugs" on involuntary incarcerated people. A law would
also be passed in California that would put into effect a computer
filing system on "pre-delinquent children." The children would then be
"treated by the camp before they could harm society." This Orwellian
nightmare was stopped after the plans for the scheme leaked to the
news media.


MIND CONTROL AND BRAIN IMPLANTS


When news of the existence of MKULTRA was disclosed to the public
during the major investigations of the CIA in the 1970s, it was
discovered that in addition to mind control through the use of drugs,
other areas researched by the CIA included hypnosis, sensory
deprivation, psycho-surgery, brain implants and ESP. Mystery still
surrounds the area which seems to have most interested MKULTRA'S
successor, the Office of Research and Development (ORD)
-"psychoelectronics".


In the late 1950s, a neuroscientist named Jose Delgado developed a
"stimoceiver", a miniature depth electrode which can receive and
transmit electronic signals over FM radio waves. By stimulating a
correctly positioned stimoceiver within an individual's cranium, an
outside operator could wield a surprising degree of control over the
subject's responses. The most famous example of Delgado's work
occurred in a Madrid bull ring. Delgado "wired" a bull before stepping
into the ring entirely unprotected. The bull charged towards the
doctor, then stopped just before reaching him. Delgado had halted the
animal simply by pushing a button in a black box held in his hand.


Delgado's human experiments demonstrated that emotions and behaviour
such as rage, lust, relaxation, fear, fatigue, hallucinations etc.,
can be easily induced using radio stimulation by an outside operator
of different points in the amygdala and hippocampus regions of the
brain. The techniques could also be used to modify "unwanted" social
behaviour.


Speaking in 1966, Delgado asserted that his experiments "support the
distasteful conclusion that motion, emotion and behaviour can be
directed by electrical forces and that humans can be controlled like
robots by push buttons." He even professed a day when brain control
could be turned over to non-human operators by establishing two-way
radio communication between the implanted brain and a computer. Work
by the brothers Ralph and Robert Schwitzgebel for tracking individuals
over long ranges led to the proposal of a scheme whereby miniature
radio receivers are mounted on utility poles throughout a given city,
thereby providing a 24-hour monitoring capability.


One of the most disturbing suggestions in this area came in 1994 from
Joseph Meyer of the National Security Agency, who proposed implanting
roughly half of all Americans arrested (but not necessarily convicted
of any crime). These "subscribers" (his term) could then be monitored
continually by computer. Meyer carefully worked out the economics of
his mass-implantation system and asserted that taxpayer liability
should be reduced by forcing subscribers to "rent" the implant from
the state. Meyer argued that implants are cheaper and more efficient
than police.



REMOTE MIND CONTROL AND ELECTROMAGNETIC WARFARE


As far back as 1953, the scientist John C. Lilly was asked by the
director of the National Institute of Mental Health (a regular CIA
funding conduit) to brief the CIA, FBI, NSA and military intelligence
on his work using electrodes to stimulate the pleasure and pain
centres of the brain. Lilly refused, stating in his reply: "Dr Antoine
Redmond, using our techniques in Paris, has demonstrated that this
method of stimulation of the brain can be applied to the human without
the help of the neurosurgeon; he is doing it in his office in Paris
without neurosurgical supervision. This means that anybody with the
proper apparatus can carry this out on a person covertly, with no
external signs that electrodes have been used on that person. I feel
that if this technique got into the hands of a secret agency, they
would have total control over a human being and be able to change his
beliefs extremely quickly, leaving little evidence of what they had
done."


Unfortunately the Freedom of Information Act can only pry loose scant
information on electronic mind control and most of MKULTRA's work in
this area remains secret. The earliest reference to remotely-applied
electronic stimulation of the brain (ESB) is a 1959 document
pertaining to MKULTRA Sub-project 94 and shows that a great deal of
research was carried out in this area. A 350-page CIA manual dating
from 1963 asserted that the Agency had mastered a technology called
RHIC-EDOM (Radio Hypnotic Intracerebral Control and Electronic
Dissolution of Memory). Together, these techniques can allegedly
remotely induce hypnotic trance, deliver suggestions to the subject
and erase all memory for both instruction period and the act which the
subject is asked to perform.


During 1977 Senate hearings on CIA drug testing, Dr Sidney Gottlieb,
an important MKULTRA administrator, admitted the possibility of the
existence of Agency research involving hypnosis using radio beams and
the use of microwaves to erase memory, alter brain functions and
disrupt behaviour patterns.


Early work by microwave scientist Allan H. Frey provided evidence that
the perception of sound can be induced in normal and clinically deaf
humans by irradiation of the head with low-density, pulse-modulated
ultra-high frequency (UHF) electromagnetic radiation - a type of radio
wave. It had previously been shown that UHF wavelengths smaller than
10cm could produce a heating of the skin and even cause severe
burning. Since then, work by Frey and others has shown that this same
microwave energy is capable of producing selective tachycardia (a
speeding-up of the heart beat) and brachycardia (slowing down of the
heart beat). A U.S. State Department report by G.W. Biles in 1976
suggests that it is quite possible to induce a heart attack in a
person from a distance with radar, since radar uses the same
pulse-modulated UHF energy that Frey had used in some of his early
experiments.


In 1961, Frey showed that the effect and range of auditory response to
radio frequency (RF) energy could reach thousands of feet. Using a
pulse-modulated transmitter, all types of biological effects could be
induced on the targeted subject, including dizziness, nausea and
vomiting. Even words could be sent to the brain, independent of the
tympanic membrane of the ear. A new form of communications, with
immense implications for the military and security services, was
discovered: direct communication to the brain by radio waves. An
intelligence asset, programmed by remote hypnosis, could be activated
by RF means to carry out orders bypassing his or her consciousness.
The hypnotic command that the target obeyed would be considered their
own idea.


Such operations could be carried out on the basis of a "timed hypnotic
command" - using RF means, certain information could be made to appear
in the target's mind at a given time in the future. A similar effect
could be produced when the hypnotic suggestion is designed to be
triggered by a word, a picture or other signal. "There are also means
of blocking the target's access to retrieve information; by inducing
amnesia it is possible to disrupt, inhibit and reconnect his or her
conscious (mental) linkages at will, and thus produce contrasting
effects which are of the highest value for later hypnotic commands".


Similar research by Dr W. Ross Adey at the University of Southern
California has shown that simply by placing subjects in an
electromagnetic field, their behaviour can be altered. By directing a
carrier frequency to stimulate the brain and using amplitude
modulation to "shape" the wave into a mimicry of a desired EEG
frequency, the mind can be externally conditioned into aversive or
docile states, for example. Ideas including names can be synchronised
with the feelings that the fields induce. Such devices could also have
a role in covert operations designed to drive a target crazy with
"imaginary voices" or to deliver undetectable instructions to a
programmed assassin. Adey compiled an entire library of frequencies
and pulsation rates which could be used to affect the mind and nervous
systems.


In a rare and astonishing admission in 1963 by Dr George Estabrooks
(the man who first proposed to U.S. military intelligence the
potential uses of hypnosis in warfare back in the 1 940s), Estabrooks
revealed that he had conducted extensive hypnosis work on behalf of
the CIA, FBI and military intelligence and stated that "the key to
creating an effective spy or assassin rests in... creating a multiple
personality with the aid of hypnosis," a process which the doctor
described as "child's play." That same year (the year of President
Kennedy's assassination) Estabrooks even offered the suggestion that
Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby "could very well have been performing
through hypnosis."



Albert Einstein conferring with naval officers in his study,
Princetown, New Jersey, July 24th 1943. Einstein was involved with
secret U.S. government experiments known as the 'Rainbow Project' in
which the use of a very powerful electromagnetic field around an
object was used to divert radar waves around it, making it radar
invisible. This culminated in the test known as the 'Philadelphia
Experiment' on August 12th 1943, in which the warship USS Eldridge
reportedly achieved not only radar but also physical invisibility. The
same research team was later involved in using electromagnetic waves
for mind control experiments at Montauk Point, Long Island. Sensing
the dangers of the experiments, Congress refused further approval for
the work in 1967 and the project was abandoned.

Some months before his death, Einstein was reported to have burned
papers relating to his Unified Field Theory and its possible practical
applications on the grounds that the world wasn't ready for such
things and would be better off without them.

In 1967 the U.S. Air Force base at Montauk Point in New York's Long
Island was used for top secret experiments using a giant Sage radar
that was capable of transmitting electromagnetic waves at frequencies
of 425 to 450 Megahertz, the level at which it is possible to alter
human thought. Some of the military technicians at the base had used
the Sage radar in the 1960s and noticed how it had been possible to
change the mood of the personnel on the base by changing the frequency
and pulse duration of the radar. Thus, mood altering experiments were
begun in earnest. One of the Montauk Project leaders, Al Bielek, later
revealed that, "with no military or defence purposes to begin with,
the project was only designed for controlling the minds of the
population, in spite of Congress forbidding the project." At first,
the focus of the experiments was a person sitting inside a shielded
room. The radar reflector was angled down so that it focused on the
room. The researchers observed that certain changes in frequencies and
pulses "made a person sleep, cry, laugh, be agitated and so on."


The experiments were then expanded to include the base personnel, then
on to the townspeople in Montauk, Long Island, New Jersey, upstate New
York and then Connecticut "just to see how far it could go." A special
chair was designed using technology that could display what a person
was thinking. It would collect the electromagnetic impulses from that
person, then translate them into a understandable form. Coils, which
acted as sensors, were placed around the chair, along with three
receivers, six channels and a computer which would display the
person's thoughts digitally on a screen. Bielek claims that the
research at Montauk is still ongoing.

In 1974, J. F. Schapitz filed a plan to study the effect of inducing
hypnotic suggestions through radio frequencies. In his experiment,
subjects were implanted with the subconscious suggestion to leave the
lab and buy a particular item, the action triggered by a certain "cue"
word or action. Schapitz' work was funded by the Department of
Defence. Despite Freedom of Information requests, the results have
never been revealed.

A 1976 U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) report entitled
"Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation" notes that "the
potential for the development of a number of antipersonnel
applications is suggested by the research published in the USSR, East
Europe and the West. Sounds and possibly even words which appear to be
originating intra-cranially can be induced by signal modulation at
very low power densities."


Russian scientists recently reported the following (quote): 'With the
help of computer-processed frequency-modulated pulses, coding texts
are being introduced into human consciousness. Programming is usually
being carried out during night-time by three synchronised frequency
generators situated in a city's suburbs in the course of a week. After
this, the "patient" receives a coded message. This can be some
specific sound but more usually it is a phone call. The call is
usually made past midnight (between 12.00 p.m. and 1.00 a.m.) when
human energy defences are at their lowest point, being in restoration
phase. After receiving such a message, a person - against his/her will
and even without conscious awareness - can take a self-destructive
course of action.... In 1979, a modified generator emitter called
'Genotron' was created. The device, the size of a small saucer, is
fixed on the breast of an assassin. A left wire is connected through
the shirt sleeve with a feeder (the energy pumping cycle lasts seven
seconds) and a right wire is connected with a control system of a 20
KWT electron ray emitter, powered by a 9V source. When a "clean
elimination" of an "inconvenient" person is required, the killer walks
behind the target and with the help of the ultrasound aiming device
zeroes in on the victim's heart and "shoots." The result is heart
defibrillation and multiple ruptures of the heart tissue.


There has also been produced a car-based variety of the generator
emitter which is used on the road when it is necessary to cause an
auto accident. The hypnotic emitter blocks the functioning of the left
brain, where the centres of rational control are situated. As a
result, the driver of the tracked car loses the feeling of reality and
in the euphoric state there appears a wish to increase speed beyond
any limits. The result is a crash."

The use of mind control weapons to cause car accidents brings to mind
various incidents of people whose deaths were remarkably convenient
for the powers that be. Karen Silkwood was the young American woman
who died in most suspicious circumstances while she was en route to
going public with the lack of safety standards at the plutonium plant
at which she worked. The attempted breakout of five IRA prisoners from
Whitemoor Maximum Security Prison in September 1994 led to speculation
that the security services had set up the escape. The vital footage
from the video recordings of the prison fences (which would have shown
the prisoners receiving outside help) were mysteriously "missing." One
of the prison officers who had been in the prison control room during
the break-out, Marcia Whitehurst, died when her car plunged into a
river near Wisbech. She was driving to court to give evidence at the
trial of the prisoners and was due to be cross-examined about her
entries in a log book. The police described her death as a "tragic
accident." Another Whitemoor prison officer who was present in the
control room, Peter Curran, disappeared when he left home to play
golf. His car has never been found. His wife stated that "he was very
concerned about something before he disappeared."


There are also the curious events in Britain surrounding Mark Purdey,
the diary farmer who opposed the British agro-chemical industry,
claiming to have compelling evidence that BSE, the "mad-cow disease,"
was the result of organo-phosphate pesticide poisoning. Purdey's
experiments, conducted at the Institute of Psychiatry in south London,
confirmed that Phosmet, which contains a chemical component of the
notoriousdrug Thalidomide, can affect the "prion protein" believed to
trigger the devastating BSE brain disease. The only other countries to
use Phosmet in a similar way to Britain - pouring it along the cow's
spine - were France, Switzerland and Ireland, which were the other
countries that had BSE. Two of the people who took Purdey's side of
the argument died in mysterious circumstances. One was a solicitor,
Peter Ward, who helped Purdey In a case against the Ministry of
Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. The second was a vet, Christopher
Budge. Both died when their cars inexplicably left the road and
crashed, Ward hitting a stone wall and Budge swerving into the path of
an on-coming lorry.


(Organo-phosphates, which are chemically related to nerve gas, were
widely used by allied forces during the Gulf War. Their use has been
linked to the debilitating Gulf War syndrome suffered by the allied
troops. In March 1997 the armed forces minister Nicholas Soames
admitted misleading Parliament by denying the use and known effects of
organo-phosphates.)


Microwave weapons have been in development for decades. A report for
the U.S. Army entitled 'Analysis of Microwaves for Barrier Warfare'
released under a Freedom of Information request shows that even in the
early 1970s, the military were developing electromagnetic weapons:
"When the beam is turned on, the person will probably fall down in
pain and die in 35 seconds, If somehow he proceeds towards the
friendly forces, the intensity will continue to rise and he will die
before he reaches the 300m front of the barrier." Microwave and laser
weapons exist that can cause "exploding eyeballs" or turn people into
fireballs. A weapon that can temporarily blind or render an enemy
unconscious, can with a turn of the power dial, cut them in two or
"cook their internal organs." These so-called "Non Lethal Weapons,"
which include High Powered Microwave (HPM), infrasound, "plasma bullet
guns," Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) and radio frequency devices,
provide "a new spectrum of options" as the Army's Training and
Doctrine Command (TRADOC) puts it. The weapons are so horrific that
there was even debate in the Department of Defence about whether they
violate treaties governing humanity in war.


The CIA had a programme called Operation Pique in 1978 which included
bouncing radio or microwave signals off the ionosphere to affect the
mental functions of people in selected areas, including Eastern
European nuclear installations. A 1985 experiment at the Midwest
Research Institute in Kansas City showed that pinpoint accuracy could
be achieved with behaviour-altering microwave beams, such that an
individual in a room might be affected by an outside beam while
another person elsewhere in the room is unaffected.

The Christic Institute, a public interest law firm in the U.S., has
many files from state, Senate and Congressional representatives who
claim to be victims of clandestine bombardment with non-ionising
radiation or microwaves.


These people (nicknamed "wavies") report sudden changes in
psychological states, alteration of sleep patterns, intra-cerebral
voices and other sounds, and other unusual physiological effects. The
number and scope of the individuals reporting such claims makes it
difficult to dismiss them all out of hand as being mentally ill. The
matter has been taken up in the U.S. by the Association of National
Security Alumni (ANSC), after investigating the known Department of
Defence and CIA interests in this field. In a briefing issued on
August 19th 1992, ANSO commented on "the increasing number of persons
contacting us for assistance in ending what they believe to be
electronic harassment by elements of U.S. intelligence."

Julianne McKinney, author of a 20-page report for ANSC, "Microwave
Harassment and Mind Control Experimentation", wrote: "Four months ago,
when this project commenced, we approached these complaints of
government harassment and experimentation with a high degree of
caution. We are no longer sceptical. The growing numbers of
independent complaints and the similarities between these complaints
cannot be ignored."

There is now a victims group in the U.S. called Victims of Electronic
Assault. In the ex-Soviet Union, political dissenters are emerging
claiming to be "wavies" with the same reports as their counterparts in
the U.S.


In the summer of 1984, the women peace protesters camped around the
U.S. air base at Greenham Common were surprised to find that the
military and police personnel who had been regularly facing them
across the wire disappeared at a particular time. This coincided with
the appearance of new aerials on the base buildings and in the months
that followed, the women began to suffer a wide variety of illnesses,
with symptoms including disruption of their menstrual cycles, panic,
swollen tongues, bleeding gums, headaches, voices in the head, vertigo
and burns - even at night. Similar phenomena have more recently
plagued the women's peace camp at Seneca in the United States. The
British woman who is co-ordinating the research into this for the
Greenham women has had both her car and her house shot at. In his book
The Geller Effect, Uri Geller also noted the strange use of the back
focus of a radar dish being used to affect the Greenham Common
protesters.

In addition to these cases, more and more people are turning up
claiming to have had brain implants while they have been incarcerated
for various reasons. A Freedom of Information request produced a 1970
NASAreport on implantable biotelemetry systems, which describes the
development of precisely these kinds of devices. "�. it is therefore
possible that the biological application of radar could be used as a
weapon on an individual basis for sociological or political
purposes....."


The involvement of NASA in the CIA's mind control experiments has
sinister implications�.


The CIA's research in "evoked brain potentials" (potential is used in
the electrical sense, meaning voltage) had the goal of finding methods
to replace both polygraphs and voice stress analysis, which are
notoriously unreliable lie detectors. Evoked potential studies measure
and analyse brain wave responses that result from different stimuli.
Using computers, the CIA's aim was to develop these techniques into
methods of mind reading and eventually, mind programming or
reprogramming.

By 1974 Lawrence Pinneo, a neurophysiologist and electronic engineer
at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) had developed a computer system
capable of reading a person's mind. It correlated brain waves on an
electroencephalograph with specific commands. Twenty years ago, the
computer responded with a dot on a TV screen. Today, it can be the
input to an EBB stimulator that uses radio frequencies. The concept of
mind-reading computers is no longer science fiction.


According to Ken Lawrence's testimony before Congress in 1985 on the
issue of CIA campus activity, a revival of the MKULTRA programme
exists at the University of Florida, where CIA-funded researchers have
been carrying out "truth detector" experiments using a computer to
read brain waves. Major Edward Dames of Psi-Tech said in April 1995 on
NBC's 'The Other Side' programme: "The U.S. government has an
electronic device which could implant thoughts in people." Dames would
not comment any further.

The cooking ability of microwaves is a well-known fact of everyday
life. At power levels which have no heating effect, microwave
radiation affects biological cells in other ways. Both American and
British military security is built on a complex global system of
communications links involving the widespread use of RF microwaves,
including missile tracking radar and surveillance radar. These are
found at American bases around the world, including the UK. The
military are well aware of the adverse health effects of this and have
sought to cover up deaths resulting from microwave exposure. In 1977,
two army researchers published a paper showing that power levels of
microwaves thousands of times below safety limits damaged the brain.
This research and the debate it stimulated was stopped by the
Department of Defence. Dr. Koslov at John Hopkins University attempted
to restart work into this in 1986, but was unable to get funding. In
1981, U.S. Army pathologist Dr. Friedman published some preliminary
findings of a study into the large number of radar operators referred
to him with a rare blood disease. The army refused to publish his full
report.


The British ultra-secure communications network is completely
independent from the British Telecom network. It ensures that the
government can control the country in the event of the collapse of its
authority by war or mass strike action and is based on the use of
microwave communication links dotted around the country, with a higher
concentration in built-up areas. The centre of research for developing
this system is the Defence Research Agency's Malvern branch (formerly
the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment). Since the mid-70s, eight
scientists working there have died from brain tumours. Recent cases in
Britain of various illnesses amongst people living near overhead power
lines have added to the evidence that electromagnetic radiation is
more harmful to humans than previously thought.


During the Gulf War in 1991, Cruise missiles with Electromagnetic
Pulse (EMP) warheads were used against the Iraqis. This information
was released via the American military trade publication Defence News
in April 1992. The same year, the UK Ministry of Defence confirmed the
development of a British microwave bomb. The EMP bomb works by
"emitting a massive pulse of radio energy which would render humans
unconscious by scrambling neural paths in the brain but would not
cause lasting injury." In fact, evidence from research scientists
exposed to EMP has shown that it can cause cancers such as myclogenous
leukaemia, a fatal bone marrow disease.


In 1993, residents in the Crossmaglen area of South Armagh in Northern
Ireland voiced their concerns that British army surveillance equipment
was linked to observed clusters and increases in cancer cases in the
area. Following the deaths in 1997 of three members of the E4A
undercover surveillance unit of the Special Branch (all three died of
cancer of the colon), the RUC consulted the National Radiological
Protection Board over concerns that their deaths might be linked to
the wearing of concealed microwave equipment which is strapped to the
skin beneath clothing. The RUC press office claimed that the NRPB's
review was not just linked to the deaths but covered the use of all
microwave equipment.


SOUND WARFARE


William Arkin, a US consultant on the humanitarian impact of weapons
and warfare, revealed in the Journal Medicine in 1998 that the United
States army and airforce were developing a new generation of acoustic
weapons that rupture organs, inflict burns and create cavities in
human tissues. The research was so far advanced that deployment of the
weapons was imminent.


Such weapons can radiate a directed energy beam with an intensity
varying from a 90-120 decibel low-frequency soundwave "to provide
extreme levels of annoyance and distraction" through 140-150 decibels
for "strong physical bodily trauma and damage to tissues", up to
"shockwave" levels of over 170 decibels, producing "instantaneous
blastwave-type trauma" which could be lethal.


Abstracts from a US Department of Defense programme on the military's
acquisition of mind control technology described the use of "a system
for altering the states of human consciousness" involving "the
simultaneous application of multiple stimuli, preferably sounds,
having different frequencies and wave forms�. Researchers have devised
a variety of systems for stimulating the brain to exhibit specific
brain wave rhythms and thereby alter the state of consciousness of an
individual subject."


Dr. Oliver Lowry, who has carried out several classified projects for
the U.S. Government on what is termed by the military and intelligence
services Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS), sometimes called SQUAD,
developed and patented a system which he described as "a silent
communications system in which non-aural carriers, in the very high
audio frequency range or in the adjacent ultrasonic frequency
spectrum, are amplified or frequency modulated with the desired
intelligence and propagated acoustically or vibrationally, for
inducement into the brain. The modulated carriers may be transmitted
directly in real time or may be recorded and stored on mechanical,
magnetic or optical media for delayed or repeated transmission to the
listener."


The first known military use of the system was against Iraq during the
Gulf War. Although completely silent to the human ear, the negative
voice messages programmed by PsyOps psychologists were clearly
perceived by the subconscious minds of Iraqi soldiers: "The silent
sounds completely demoralised them and instilled a perpetual feeling
of fear and hopelessness in their minds."



PSYCHIC WARFARE


In the course of the MKULTRA projects, the CIA allocated some of the
project's budget to study the use of mediums and called for a
scientific study of the use of psychics for intelligence work. This
work was set up at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in Melano Park,
California, whose studies in parapsychology were supported by the CIA,
the Navy and the DIA. Dealing in secret high-tech defence projects,
SRI was America's second largest think-tank, with over $70 million in
government funding annually. The CIA's main contact in funding SRI's
work was Harold Chipman, who had served in Indonesia, Korea, the
Philippines, Laos and Vietnam.

Stanford Research Institute, the base for the CIA's psychic warfare
programme.


In 1952, Dr Andrija Puharich presented a paper, 'An Evaluation of the
Possible Uses of Extrasensory Perception (ESP) in Psychological
Warfare' to a secret Pentagon gathering. Puharich's psychic research
findings were in line with the CIA's current mind control work and in
1956 Puharich brought in the Israeli psychic Uri Geller to SRI. Mossad
had provided SRI with an intelligence report on Geller's abilities.
Geller underwent several weeks of exhaustive scientific tests at SRI,
under two of the institute's chief scientists, physicists Harold
Puthof and Russell Targ.


The psychic Uri Geller was employed by the CIA for over twenty years.
Here, Geller demonstrates his ability to erase computer tapes while
specialists look on.


In the early 1960s, the U.S. Air Force commissioned the American
Institute for Research (AIR) to conduct a feasibility study on the
development and use of psychological phenomena for warfare. AIR
published their findings under the title of 'Psychological Phenomena
Applicable to the Development of Psychological Weapons'.


Spurred on by heavy involvement of the Soviet Union in psychic
research (on which the Soviets were spending about 60 million roubles
per year in 1971, increased to 300 million roubles - $450 million - in
1975), the CIA embarked on intense psychic research. SRI's Harold
Puthof focused on ESP as the area most likely to give results that
could be used operationally. The phenomenon was seen as a low-cost
radar system; people possessing suitable extra-sensory powers could be
the perfect spies.


The CIA adopted a twin-track approach towards this new area of
interest. Publicly, through disinformation campaigns, they endeavoured
to dismiss and discredit psychic research. Secretly, they funded a
series of projects on which they spent over $20 million over the next
16 years. The Soviets, aware of the U.S. policy,reacted similarly.
They too publicly denied the credibility of any psychic research,
imprisoned a number of researchers (particularly those involved in
information exchange with their Western counterparts) and appeared to
close down several research institutes.


A series of 'Anomalous Mental Phenomena' programmes were carried out
at SRI from 1973 to 1989 and were continued at the Science
Applications International Corporation (SAIC) from 1992 to 1994. A
technique known as 'Sleep-Wake Hypnosis' was developed, in which a
hypnotist transferred hypnotic commands telepathically to a subject,
whether they were a few feet or even a thousand miles away. Psychics
were trained to influence foreign leaders as they spoke to the public
on the TV or radio. Some of the experiments had highly negative
effects on subjects, including sickness, nervous breakdowns and even
insanity. The 'Sleep-Wake Hypnosis' technique was recently
demonstrated on Paul McKenna's World of the Paranormal television
programme, when an Eastern European hypnotist telepathically raised
and lowered the heartbeat of a subject in another room.


Stanford Research Institute - now named SRI International - termed
their telepathy work Remote Viewing (RV), which involved a sender
transmitting messages telepathically to a receiver. Two of SRI's most
important projects were Grill Flame, a multi-million dollar psychic
research and development programme, started by the CIA in 1972 and now
primarily run by the DIA; and SCANATE (SCANning by coordinATE), which
started on May 29th 1973 and was completed in 1975. Grill Flame
produced telepathic information, later confirmed by satellite, about a
very sensitive nuclear test site at Semipalatinsk in Soviet Kazakhstan
and which led to the location of a crashed Soviet Tu-95 'Backfire'
bomber in Africa. Little else is known at present about the project.


Harold Puthof, head of the CIA's Remote Viewing programme at Stanford
Research Institute.

In his first attempt at remote viewing a site, having been given only
the geographical co-ordinates, latitude and longitude, the psychic
Ingo Swann described in considerable detail what was officially
described as a meteorological research installation (in fact a Soviet
missile-tracking base) on the remote Pacific island of Kerguelen.
Swann's descriptions included the layout of buildings and a map of the
island. It was later confirmed that these were correct in every
detail.



Ingo Swann, psychic and Remote Viewer at SRI, 1972 - 1989.



One of the most intriguing of SCANATE's experiments was Number 46,
dated April 27th 1973. The purpose of the experiment was "to try to
ascertain if long distance remote sensing could extend to a very far
distance to record the time it took before impressions began to be
given, and to compare the impressions with published scientific
feedback." The target chosen was the planet Jupiter. NASA's Pioneer
Ten satellite was already en route to the planet but too far away to
send data back to the Earth laboratories. The viewers were Ingo Swann
in California and Harold Sherman in Arkansas. With these two viewers
2,000 miles apart, the idea was to see whether their independent data
would correspond with each other - which they did. In the course of
this attempt, a ring around Jupiter was discovered by the viewers.
Swann described: "Very high in the atmosphere there are crystals, they
glitter. Maybe the stripes are like bands of crystals... Very close
within the atmosphere. I bet you they'll reflect radio waves. Is that
possible, if you had a cloud of crystals that were assaulted by
different radio waves?"


The existence of the ring was confirmed in early 1979, six years after
this experiment.


In another SCANATE experiment, psychic Pat Price was given a set of
map co-ordinates and was able to describe every detail of a satellite
eavesdropping station, including the complex of buildings and
underground storage areas, communication and computer equipment, names
on desks in the building and even code words on the labels of file
folders in a locked cabinet in one of the rooms. The CIA scientist
monitoring the test believed he had a potential Class 'A' espionage
agent who could roam psychically anywhere in the world, ferreting out
secrets undetected.


More than a hundred tests were carried out for Project SCANATE, which
ran for two years. Targets chosen by the CIA, in association with the
NSA, included a number of very sensitive military locations in the
Soviet Union. Descriptions of these provided by SCANATE subjects were
later confirmed, in some cases very precisely, by satellite
observations. Harold Puthof later confirmed that SRI's Remote Viewing
research had been successfully replicated by several other laboratory
teams, notably the Princeton University group headed by Dr Robert
Jahn. Pat Price was asked on several occasions to provide his services
to the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) as well as the NSA.


During the 1970s, when he was living in Mexico, Uri Geller was asked
by the CIA to psychically eavesdrop on the Soviet embassy. The Agency
asked Geller to describe the interior of the building, erase
thecomputer tapes there, read the numbers of a combination lock, name
the ranks and duties of visiting personnel, crack codes, predict
espionage drops and describe the papers in the diplomatic pouches.
Another of the tasks that Geller was asked to do for the Agency was to
influence the mind of incoming U.S. President Jimmy Carter at his
presidential inauguration on January 20th 1977.


By 1975, Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ reported that the development
of Remote Viewing at SRI "has evolved to the point where visiting CIA
personnel with no previous exposure to such concepts have performed
well under controlled laboratory conditions... generating target
descriptions of sufficiently high quality to permit matching of
descriptions by independent judges."


Harold Puthof with Remote Viewer Pat Price.


The Remote Viewing programme received a blow when Price died in 1975,
but Ingo Swann remained and other psychics joined SRI's ranks over the
years. After his success with SCANATE, for several years Ingo Swann
trained selected individuals with possible psychic abilities from the
military and intelligence to become psychic spies. Swann claimed that
almost anyone could demonstrate some RV ability and he developed a
training programme which "could make anyone as good as the best
natural psychic." Those admitted to the programme were military
intelligence personnel whose backgrounds might indicate natural
psychic talents: image interpreters (analysts of aerial reconnaissance
photos) were found to have a natural visualisation ability suited for
RV training; and also people with artistic ability, entrepreneurs,
risk takers and those who had reported near-death experiences from
combat injuries.


Even high ranking officers such as Major General Thompson (Assistant
Chief of Staff for Intelligence 1977-91), Major General Albert
Stubblebine (Director of U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command,
INSCOM) and Jack Verona of the DIA were indoctrinated with Remote
Viewing. The training took one year in controlled conditions. Major
General Thompson was one of the Army's most enthusiastic supporters of
RV and other paranormal phenomena, and he set up an RV unit at Fort
Meade, Maryland, under the jurisdiction of INSCOM.


Major General Stubblebine stated that Remote Viewing practitioners
tended to give more controlled readings than non-RV psychics, adding:
"I can go anywhere on this Earth. I can go into any closet, I can go
into any mind. I can access that information at any location that I
choose."

Excerpt From:
http://psychologyharass.wordpress.com/


Are terror stalking initiatives using chemical pesticides, and more,
to slowly poison their victims, targets of covert harassment. Drugs
have been covertly used to alter this victims moods, and state of
mind, to undermine the victim's psychological well being." mdjk


-----

Possible felony assaults, that may explain some of the covert
fumigations. Text is specific to the subject of gang stalking/terror
stalking:


The mental and physical effects described by most targets are achieved
by covert poisoning using more or less common neruo-interrupters
(organic phosphate pesticides), psychotomimetic agents (drugs) and
irritants.The chemicals can be administered by "flipped" coworkers,
neighbors, friends, family, local strangers and old or new
professional (paid) perps. Neuro-interrupters have a cumulative
effect. With successive poisonings there is a gradual decrease in
cognitive functioning which is what is intended.

Some psyhcotomimetic agents, usually LSD or similar will be applied to
surfaces the victim will ordinarily touch, door handles, cabinet
drawers, any place in their home, car and places at work. Daily
vitamins, coffee, shampoo or anything used or consumed on a daily
basis is a potential contamination target, especially single use
items. In the home milk is often contaminated with OP pesticide. It is
obvious if put in any clear liquid because the liquid becomes cloudy.
After they[perpetrators] believe they have compromised the victims
credibility they will become more active and aggressive with
contamination and all other aspects of the "organized assault"

-annonymous post: http://www.gangstalkingworld.com

The results of this chemical fume harassment activity, an unstable
mental state in the victim, serves to support the argument, which
is based on fiction and based on the need by some people to protect
themselves from the guilt of committing crimes, that the
victim suffers from psychosis.

The victim has been misdiagnosed with psychosis, the use of chemical
and fumigations serve not only to harass the victim, but
also undermine his psychological well being, and perhaps thus lending
much to the misdiagnosis staed above.

The overall harassment may be aimed to cause the individual to have no
credibility, regarding the harassment claims, as well as in the
general sense of the word.

Terror stalking, is highly criminal activity, possibly hired
activity, aimed at ruin an innocent person's life through slander, and
harassment, endeavors to achieve this.hereclik

PSYCHOLOGICAL HARASSMENT ( terror ) Fumigations, psychology tactics
and technology
If you have not been or are not being poisoned and/or drugged, you are
not being "gangstalked" . "Gangstalking" is described on some websites
as a bunch of people "just" following you around doing strange skits.
That would just be annoying compared to what it really is. Although it
might be possible that victims are not aware of where their "symptoms"
are coming from. I thought I was physically ill at first, but then
began to see a relationship between my "illnesses" and what can only
be described as felony assaults.................

annonymous post from www.gangstalkingworld :

" "Gangstalking" is a "catchphrase" name describing what has become a
part of traditional and new organized crime that is networking through
the United States and some other countries.

Organized crime groups and "criminal elements" from all walks of life
use or hire for pay, criminal organized stalking crews to assault
"targets" to cover up financial or other crimes.

These criminals "contract" with the covert organized assault crews:

to silence any potential witness or "trouble maker", whether real or
imagined, that could possibly effect their lives.
"contract" / "assault squad" to discredit and silence ............using their
criminal "gas-lighting" methods.
These "organized criminal crews" assault

[victim's] family, friends, neighbors and many people in community.
There is always a reason someone is targeted and most will know why
and who started it, but apparently:

some victims never know what happened to them, why it is happening or
who "triggered" the overwhelming assault.
This is probably because the "trigger event" was irrelevant and meant
nothing to the victim, but was perceived as possibly damaging by the
criminal(s) involved.

The victim

could have "upset" somebody
and now that person simply wants revenge.
I would see that as a waste of time, thought and money, but I guess
some people could be "just that way". I've seen estimates of the
number of victims of this type of crime, but nothing I consider
credible.

One victim is too many.

I wouldn't even try to guess how many career criminals participate in
this. It can't be many as compared to general populations.

This is a very lucrative criminal enterprise for many of the
perp[etrator]s.

People considered important to the success of a "hit" are offered
large "bribes" to become a perp and start "working" the victim.
Advanced communications such as the internet, cellphones and voice
over internet protocol:

have accelerated the growth and networking of these organized criminal
groups.
Their day to day stalking activities depend on these same technologies
plus:

gps and other hi-tech devices.....
electronic spy
harassment equipment.
Law enforcement agencies are aware of these criminal groups and are
gathering information on them.

I have not read about a "targeted individual" that would have believed
this could happen to anyone, had they not become a victim themselves.

These criminal stalking groups go to extreme lengths to cover every
aspect of their "covert" operations. They try to have a plausible
explanation for everything.

The crimes they commit are well planned and easy to do but easily
deniable.

A victim might see many work projects in the area, small or large,
constant maintenance all around the neighborhood involving new workers
you have never seen before. Endless traffic of all descriptions.

Mobbing activities near your home, on the highway, in stores and on
the street. These are mostly perp[etrator]s or all perps in some
cases. They will always have a ready made reason to be where they are
before they are dispatched.

If you have not been or are not being poisoned and/or drugged, you are
not being "gangstalked".

"Gangstalking" is described on some websites as a bunch of people
"just" following you around doing strange skits. That would just be
annoying compared to what it really is.

Although it might be possible that victims are not aware of where
their "symptoms" are coming from. I thought I was physically ill at
first, but then began to see a relationship between my "illnesses" and
what can only be described as felony assaults.

The mental and physical effects described by most targets are achieved
by:

covert poisoning

using more or less common neruo-interrupters (organic phosphate
pesticides),
psychotomimetic agents (drugs)
and irritants.
Some of these chemicals are mixed when needed with additives to make
them behave in desired ways.

Some are intended to absorb through the skin and others are intended
to out-gas. They are not all used in all the described ways.

Some, what I will call irritants, are sprayed on the target and act
locally on the skin or spread out slowly with various affects.

One perp[etrator]s will divert your attention while another one sprays
from a "breath spray" size can on bare skin behind or where you won't
notice. They always make a noise like clearing their throat so you
won't hear the sound. I caught them doing this too.

Some drugs are mixed with dispersant's to make them out-gas. These are
squirted at or near an isolated target using covert methods. In remote
places where possible, constant "Area gassing" is done from
neighboring houses.

The perp[etrator]s spent a couple days at my neighbors installing the
devices they use to disperse their chemicals. I'm sure they are well
hidden but I know I can find them.

These house devices have been refilled on a regular basis since they
were installed.

Passing cars/trucks with an electric squirting device are being used,
each squirting an out-gassing mixture as they pass by.

These were almost constant for several years and are still coming. On
the road perps will squirt "out gassing" mixtures from the backs or
fronts of their cars/trucks at your car/truck. When they can get away
with it perps even do this while walking past in order to gas the
target.

The chemicals will out-gas quickly or slowly depending on their
intended use.

The most dangerous assault is the direct assault from a car/truck that
has an electrically powered high pressure squirting device behind the
grill. These usually squirt pesticide that is intended to stay put and
absorb through the skin.

This attack can penetrate thick clothing and is usually done in a
parking lot or anywhere they can get close to you in a car.

Be aware of cars pausing near you or "aiming" at you in parking lots.
Individual perps on foot will work their way behind you and squirt
your lower back using various covert "rigs". This is what I first
caught one of them doing.

The chemicals can be administered by "flipped" coworkers, neighbors,
friends, family, local strangers and old or new professional (paid)
perps.

Neuro-interrupters have a cumulative effect.

With successive poisonings there is a gradual decrease in cognitive
functioning whidh is what is intended by the perps. I read an account
of one victim who had been poisoned to the point that he could no
longer speak.
A perp will always wait close by to observe the condition of the
victim after assaults.

The protection against this is waterproof or impermeable clothing or
any barrier that will block what is essentially a "high-tech squirt
gun" If the victim fails to protect themselves, they will go down as a
result of these assaults.
Some psyhcotomimetic agents,

usually LSD or similar will be applied to surfaces the victim will
ordinarily touch, door handles, cabinet drawers, any place in their
home, car and places at work.
Daily vitamins, coffee, shampoo or anything used or consumed on a
daily basis is a potential contamination target, especially single use
items.
In the home milk is often contaminated with OP pesticide.
It is obvious if put in any clear liquid because the liquid becomes
cloudy. Gloves and clothing might be turned inside out and "treated".
Time to change your cloths, don't forget to shower.

The perps will start slowly, only contaminating a single item or items
they have control over so no evidence will remain in case law
enforcement investigates. After they believe they have compromised the
victims credibility they will become more active and aggressive with
contamination and all other aspects of the "organized assault".

The following as well as this entire scam may take place over the
course of many years.

Co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, law enforcement and the
general public are told planned, consistent lies about the victim/
target.

This will start with law enforcement long before the actual assaults
begin.

They do this to "set up" the target, hoping law enforcement will
believe their lies and ignore the victim when they first report this
crime.

Perps may show a bogus "investigation" file or flash fake badges in
the community as part of the scam.

Perps might hire local lawyers and private investigators in a ruse to
"legitimize" the scam.

Later the perps will report crimes or trip alarms in the area so the
police will have to drive by the target's house. This is to make the
target believe the police are part of the stalking. They will also
pull fake fire alarms for the same purpose.

While "working" this chemical attack, the perps perform "street
theater" around the target. They hope the poisoned/drugged target will
panic, then report and try to describe these bizarre "skits" to law
enforcement.

The goal is to create poison and drug induced psychotic episodes,
paranoia, and actions that could (the perps will say) appear to be
schizophrenic (only if you are not educated about schizophrenia would
you believe this).

The perps often launch large drug assaults against a target in public.
If the target is effected enough they will report or encourage a
bystander to report the target to law enforcement, saying the target
is schizophrenic, crazy or psychotic.

Symptoms of Fungal Exposure (Mycotoxicosis)

Susan Lillard-Roberts

Mold toxicity is often the end result with constant exposure to mold
of a toxic substance. A common misconception among allergists who are
untrained in this type of toxicity levels in humans, which is
technically not their area of expertise unless they have trained
specifically in environmental medicine with their background in
immunology, is to do general allergen testing. Most tests usually
result in an unequivocal result, a 2+ or less. This induces some
physicians to order allergy shots, regardless. These shots are
absolutely worthless (and could possibly be harmful) to a person who
has been heavily exposed to these mycotoxins as they are already in a
state of toxicity. If anything, this could exacerbate the problem.
Because many doctors are not trained in this field, they may try to
"guess" at a diagnosis.

In laymen's terms, molds produce mycotoxins. These substances,
although unseen by the naked eye, are ingested and then enter the body
through the skin, mucous and airways. Once ingested, mold has the
requirements to colonize and spread. In doing this, it can compromise
the immune system and damage everyday processes of the body. Mold and
yeast are interchangeable only in their dimorphic state, which is
often a big misconception, although both are fungi. There has been a
theory of a connection between Autism Spectrum Disorder onset and
Candida Albicans in the body. New studies are being conducted during
the first quarter of 2006. Updates will follow.

Fungi, which include yeasts, moulds, smuts and mushrooms, are
responsible for causing four types of mycotic (fungal) disease:

1. Hypersensitivity - an allergic reaction to moulds and spores;

2. Mycotoxicosis - poisoning by food products contaminated by fungi

3. Mycetismus - the ingestion of preformed toxin (toadstool poisoning)

4. Infection (systemic) - (Mycotoxicosis; the subject below)

The following are a list of the most common symptoms of fungal
exposure (bear in mind, people never fit all of below criteria). Most
people with some forms of Mycotoxicosis meet at least 8 (recent
symptoms) of the following criteria:

Fibromyalgia/mps (and several correlated symptoms)
Respiratory distress, coughing, sneezing, sinusitis
Difficulty swallowing, choking, spitting up (vomiting) mucous
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Burning in the throat and lungs (similar to acid reflux and often
misdiagnosed as such)
Asthmatic signs; wheezing, shortness in breath, coughing, burning in
lungs, etc.
Irritable bowel syndrome, nausea, diarrhea, sharp abdominal pains,
stomach lesions
Bladder, liver, spleen, or kidney pain
Dark or painful urine
Dirt-like taste in mouth, coated tongue
Food allergies/leaky gut syndrome/altered immunity
Memory loss; brain fog, slurred speech, occasionally leading to
dementia
Vision problems
Swollen lymph nodes
Large boils on neck (often a sign of anaphylaxis)
Yellowing of nails, ridges, or white marks under nail
Thyroid irregularities, sometimes leading to complete dysfunction;
adrenal problems
Headaches
Anxiety/depression, heart palpitations - confusion, PTSD
Extreme blood pressure, cholesterol, or triglycerides irregularities
Ringing in ears, balance problems (very common), dizziness, loss of
hearing (aspergillus niger)
Chronic fatigue (also included under this classification directional
confusion)
Intermittent face flushing; almost always systemic, Called the Mylar
Flush (neurological))
Night head sweats, and drooling while sleeping, profuse sweating
Multiple chemical sensitivity; only upon exposure to Stachybotrys and
Chaetomium
Nose bleeds (stachybotrys)
Bruising/scarring easily; rash or hives, bloody lesions all over the
skin (Often systemic, see images; skin)
Reproductive system complications; infertility, changes in menstrual
cycles, miscarriage
Sudden weight changes (Detoxifier genotypes tend to gain weight, non-
detoxifier genotypes tend to lose weight)
Cancer
Hair loss, very brittle nails, temporary loss of fingerprints (in rare
cases)
Joint/muscle stiffness and pain
Irregular heart beat/heart attack
Seizures, inadvertent body jerking, twitching, inadvertent facial
movements or numbness in face
Hypersensitivity when re-exposed to molds, which can lead to
anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis upon re-exposure to mycotoxin producing molds
Death, in extreme cases
Note: despite inaccurate and misleading reports by theorists regarding
immuno-compromised, babies, and the elderly being more susceptible,
this is a big misconception as exposure to the T-2 mycotoxins found in
many types of current indoor molds will poison anyone in time; no one
is immune. The reason for this conflicting information is that
studies have never been conducted to prove this. If so called experts
are going to make such a broad and misleading statement, they may as
well say that this same category of people is more susceptible to
SARS, West Nile Virus, AIDS, and cancer. The T-2 mycotoxins found in
many of these molds are the exact same T-2 mycotoxins that have killed
widespread groups of innocent people with Yellow Rain, a biological
warfare agent.

Different mold species can have varying health effects, but it is
important to remember that any excessive mold growth needs to be taken
care of, regardless of the species. Any excessive mold growth can lead
to increased allergies, toxicity, and house/building structural
problems.

Aspergillus spp

Aspergillus is the most common genus of fungi in our environment with
more than 160 different species of mold. Sixteen of these species have
been documented as causing human disease. Aspergillosis is now the 2nd
most common fungal infection requiring hospitalization in the United
States. Exposure to aspergillus can often cause skin rashes and hair
loss. Many people seek relief by taking 5,000 mcg. of biotin per day
with 3,500 mgs. of MSM. Beware, many vitamins and supplements are
made with the aspergillus fermentation process or other types of fungi
that the vitamin manufacturers fail to reveal. For a healthy source
of vitamins with no fungi, please view www.mold-help.biz; the world's
first nutricutical website for providing relief from fungal exposure.
The site is in its initial stages at the moment, but by February 1, it
will be an entire source for healthier eating and nutritional
supplements related to fungal disease. Please register on the site if
you would like an update when the Mold-Help Solutions Source is ready
to assist.

Aspergillus fumigatus. The most encountered species causing infection.
It is seen abundantly in decomposing organic material, such as self-
heating compost piles, since it readily grows at temperatures up to 55
C. People who handle contaminated material often develop
hypersensitivity to the spores of Aspergillus and may suffer severe
allergic reactions upon exposure.

Aspergillus flavus. The 2nd most encountered fungi in cases of
Aspergillus infection. It is also known to produce the mycotoxin
aflatoxin, one of the most potent carcinogens known to man. In the
1960s, 100,000 turkey poults in Great Britain died from ingesting
contaminated feed. Most countries have established levels for
aflatoxin in food. However, the risks associated with airborne
exposure are not adequately studied and no exposure standards exist.

Aspergillus niger. The 3rd most common Aspergillus fungi associated
with disease and the most common of any Aspergillus species in nature
due to it's ability to grow on a wide variety of substrates. This
species may cause a "fungal ball", which is a condition where the
fungus actively proliferates in the human lung, forming a ball. It
does so without invading the lung tissue. It has also been linked to
hearing problems including tinnitus and hearing loss.

Aspergillus Versicolor. The most common species of Aspergillus. Among
skin problems and hair loss, this fungus has been linked to severe
abdominal pain, acid reflux, and vomiting.

Stachybotrys chartarum (atra) and Chaetomium globosum

This group of molds can thrive on water damaged, cellulose-rich
material in buildings such as sheet rock, paper, ceiling tiles,
insulation backing, wallpaper, etc. In the majority of cases where
Stachybotrys is found indoors, water damage has gone unnoticed or
ignored since it requires extended periods of time with increased
levels of moisture for growth to occur. Stachybotrys is usually black
and slimy in appearance. Events of water intrusion that are addressed
quickly tends to support the growth of more xerophilic fungi such as
Penicillium and Aspergillus.

Stachybotrys is another fungi that has the ability to produce
mycotoxins, ones that are extremely toxic, suspected carcinogens, and
immunosuppressive. Exposure to these mycotoxins can result through
inhalation, ingestion, and dermal exposure. Symptoms of exposure
include dermatitis, memory loss, balance issues, acid reflux, cough,
rhinitis, nose bleeds, cold and flu-like symptoms, headache, bleeding
lungs, general malaise, internal lesions, seizures, and fever. Long
term exposure has shown that Stachybotrys and Chaetomium can destroy
the myelin sheath, leading to autoimmune disease. These are the only
two fungi that can also be linked MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity).
There is much confusion about Chaetomium, as it can be worse than
Stachybotrys since it is so difficult to eradicate. Our mycologist
tells us that it is like cast iron while Stachybotrys is easier.

Cladosporium spp.

These genera of mold are pigmented dark green to black in the front,
and black on the reverse with a velvety to powdery texture. One of the
most commonly isolated from indoor and outdoor air, Cladosporium spp.
are found on decaying plants, woody plants, food, straw, soil, paint,
textiles, and the surface of fiberglass duct liner in the interior of
supply ducts.

There are over 30 species in the Cladosporium genus. The most common
are C. elatum, C. herbarum, C. sphaerospermum, and C. cladosporioides.
These fungi are the causative agents of skin lesions, keratitis, nail
fungus, sinusitis, asthma, and pulmonary infections. Acute symptoms of
exposure to Cladosporium are edema and bronchiospasms, and chronic
exposure may lead to pulmonary emphysema. More commonly, it is a more
causative factor for intrinsic asthma.

Fusarium spp.

A common soil fungus and inhabitant on a wide array of plants, this
fungi is often found in humidifiers and has been isolated from water-
damaged carpets and a variety of other building materials. Human
exposure may occur through ingestion of contaminated grains and
possibly through the inhalation of spores. Fusarium spp. are
frequently involved with eye, skin, and nail infections. More severely
it can produce hemorrhagic syndrome (alimentary toxic aleukia) in
humans which is characterized by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
dermatitis, and extensive internal bleeding.

Several species can produce the trichothecene toxins which target the
circulatory, alimentary, skin, and nervous systems. Vomitoxin is one
such tricothecene mycotoxin that has been associated with outbreaks of
acute gastrointestinal illness in humans. Zearalenone is another
mycotoxin produced by Fusarium. It is similar in structure to the
female sex hormone estrogen and targets the reproductive organs.

Penicillium spp.

These fungi are commonly found in soil, food, cellulose, grains,
paint, carpet, wallpaper, interior fiberglass duct insulation, and
decaying vegetation. Penicillium may cause hypersensitivity
pneumonitis, asthma, and allergic alveolitis in susceptible
individuals.

The genus Penicillium has several species. The most common ones
include Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium citrinum, Penicillium
janthinellum, Penicillium marneffei, and Penicillium purpurogenum.

This fungi has been isolated from patients with keratitis, ear
infections, pneumonia, endocarditis, peritonitis, and urinary tract
infections. Penicillium infections are most commonly exhibited in
immunosuppressed individuals. For example, P. marneffei is a fungus
abundant in Southeast Asia that typically infects patients with AIDS
in this area. Infection with P.marneffei is acquired via inhalation
and initially results in a pulmonary infection and then spreads to
other areas of the body (lymphatic system, liver, spleen, and bones),
and is often fatal. An indication of infection is the appearance of
papules that resemble acne on the face, trunk, and extremities.

Penicillim spp. do have the ability to produce mycotoxins. The
mycotoxin known as Ochratoxin A, which is nephrotoxic and
carcinogenic, may be produced by Penicillium verrucosum. Verrucosidin
is another mycotoxin produced by this fungus that exhibits
neurotoxity. Penicillic acid is another mycotoxin that is nephrotoxic
(causes kidney and liver damage).


Permanent problems sometimes associated with fungal exposure after
treatment:

Balance
Short term memory
Hearing
Sight
See Associated Illnesses after Fungal Exposure

Note: Many of these symptoms could also be the onset of other
illnesses, as well, and only a skilled physician is diagnosed to give
you a full and qualified diagnosis. Additionally, it is important to
know that much of these symptoms will deplete after vacating the
building. Diet, nutrition, and medical assistance are extremely
important.

Profiling the Borgias
Poisoners are sneaky. Non-confrontational. Insidious, because the
victim doesn't stand a chance.
But what else do they have in common? What personality traits
distinguish the poisoner from other types of murderers? A scientist
from Michigan is about to find the answer, undertaking what is
believed to be the first comprehensive study of the psychology of
criminal poisoners. And the study that John H. Trestrail III, author,
forensic toxicologist, and pharmacist, is about to begin will have a
strong historical focus, while using the same methodologies that the
FBI Behavioral Science Unit used to profile serial sexual killers--
namely, interviews with living specimens.
Trestrail, managing director of a regional poisoning center in Grand
Rapids, Michigan, has already authored a manual for the FBI on
investigating criminal poisonings. (He's also asked to consult with
authors and TV show producers on poisons, but says he doesn't feel
comfortable broadcasting detailed knowledge on the subject of how it's
done; there are real poisoners out there, he says, who might think to
themselves, "Hey, I have some of that in my garage....")
His manual, Criminal Poisoning: An Investigational Guide for Law
Enforcement, Toxicologists, Forensic Scientists, and Attorneys
examines all that is known about the use of poison as a weapon in
murder and reaches quite far back. Trestrail drew on his own
collection of 1,000 books going back 300 years to review the various
poisons that murderers have used over the generations.
With such a vast body of historical, scientific, and anecdotal
knowledge, Trestrail will approach his study of the psychology of
poisoners with some hypotheses. For one thing, he believes that love
and money are the principal motivators for poisonings. Although most
known poisoners are men, he thinks that most criminal poisoners are
actually female - they're just better at getting away with it. It is
women who caretake the sick, make the meals, clean the house... and when
they end lives with poisons, they are not as often caught. Trestrail
also notes that almost half (!) of the poisoners who have been caught
had more than one victim.
Trestrail's earlier book explained how poisoners accomplish their foul
deeds. This new work-in-progress will explain who. That ought to
fascinate armchair criminal psychologists everywhere. I can't wait to
read that book.
