The information which you are finding that
supports your delusions is either deeply flawed
and not scientific, or you are so desperate to
prove your point that you are taking weak
information that you may not realize is flawed or fraudulent.
I would recommend that list subscribers read the
following article:
http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/348-gnome-hunters.html
If you need to find gnomes to prove to other that
you are not suffering from mental health issue
then it is very easy to consider that even the
weakest of information, or unscientific methods supports gnomes being found.
You need to find some better information.

Gnome Hunters

GNOME HUNTERS: A Demonstration
I was recently asked to write an article for a
group of paranormal investigators about how
skeptics view believers. I pointed out that, not
being psychic, I cannot possibly know what all
skeptics think of all believers. But I did come
up with the following example, which I think
helps demonstrate the skeptical position.
Skeptics, you might find this example eerily
familiar. I hope that you enjoy it, and that if
you come across any Gnome Hunters in the future,
you might be able to use it to illustrate why
certain claims are difficult to believe.
One day, you are hanging out in a book store. You
bump into a man who is buying some books, and
wind up talking to him for a while. You find out
that the man has a hobby – every time he visits a
new place, he scans the area with a special Gnome
Finder that he has designed himself. In reality,
the Gnome Finder is a calculator. When the man
finds out about a place that is rumored to be
full of gnomes (which are, of course, invisible),
the man takes his calculator/Gnome Finder to the
location and puts in a simple math problem; like
2+2. Every time the man gets a wrong answer, he
knows that gnomes are around because gnomes hate
math and they block all right answers to illustrate that fact.
The man ignores all other possible explanations
for the wrong answer; like perhaps his finger
slipped on the button or the batteries in the
calculator were low. He knows there are gnomes
because texts dating back to ancient times have
reports of them, and because there are so many
reports still. He even, when he was a child, saw
a gnome, and that experience has stayed with him ever since.
You abruptly begin backing away because the man is clearly insane.
Let's examine this example a little more closely.
The man believes in something you have never
personally seen, and for which there is no
scientific evidence. The man uses equipment to
gauge whether or not this thing you have never
seen is present in a location even though it is
not designed for the purpose, is not accurate,
and has never been shown to do anything beyond
one particular thing, which is not searching for
gnomes. The man does not account for other
possibilities for his anomalous readings. The man
depends upon the mythology of a civilization for
proof. The man also depends on a memory from when
he was a young child, despite evidence that childhood memories are unreliable.
Let me know when that sounds familiar.
Assume you keep talking to this man because you
have no regard for your own safety.
You bring up the points in the above paragraph.
To each of these points, the man has a response.
He says that it doesn't matter if you personally
have not seen gnomes. He has. And yes, it was
when he was a child, but obviously that just
means children are more open to the possibility
that gnomes exist, and that the rules that are
hammered into us in school have made adults blind
to the presence of gnomes. The man says that it
doesn't matter what the calculator was designed
to do – he has evidence, from his many gnome
hunting expeditions, that there is a correlation
between wrong readings and reports of gnome
activity. And the man insists that he does
account for other possibilities for the readings
because he changes his batteries often and is
very careful when putting in the numbers. And
anyway, the man can prove it. He has photos.
You ask to see the photos of the gnomes. The man
presents you with a series of photographs from
different locations. Some of the photos look like
smoke. Some look like lens flares. Some look like
motion blurs. Some look like bugs caught in the flash of the camera.
You point this out, and the man tells you that he
is sure no one in the photos was ever smoking. He
knows how to photograph things because he has
taken a photography course, so they aren't lens
flares. He would know what those looked like. No
one in the photos was in motion, and neither was
the camera. There were no bugs out that night because it was winter.
And anyway, that's alright, he has audio too.
You ask to hear the audio, and the man pulls a
voice recorder from his pocket. He plays you an
audio clip. It is full of static. You hear
something that might be a voice, but you aren't
really sure because the quality is kind of poor,
and there is no context for the clip – it starts
up right in the middle of what the man refers to
as Gnome Voice Phenomenon, or GVP. If you think
about it, it does sort of sound like a voice in
the same way that if you drag a chair across the
floor it might sound similar to a human voice if
it was played back through a voice recorder,
which is designed to filter audio in search of
patterns like human voices. If you think about
it, the sound could almost practically be saying
“Paul is dead,” or “Cranberry sauce,” or “Toaster pastry.”
The man tells you it says “I am Gnome.”
You ask to hear the recording again, and he plays
it back to you, this time with you listening
specifically for a sound that is close to “I am
Gnome.” And, after he plays it again, you can
sort of hear it that way. You know, however, that
humans search for patterns in noise, and that if
someone tells you specifically what pattern to
look for, you'll be able to find it. In fact, you
have tested this phenomenon at home by recording
the sound of a glass being scooted across the
surface of a table and later telling your good
friend that it was a secret special recording of
Marilyn Monroe, and he could swear he heard part
of the happy birthday song in it. And even if it
really is a voice, and even if it really is
saying “I am Gnome” in some of the most garbled
language you've ever heard, you can't see
anything. Audio is only audio. Even if the voice
was perfectly clear, there could be a human being
standing right next to the recorder saying it.
You point this out, and the man tells you there
absolutely was not anyone doing any such thing.
In fact, he has a television show on the Sci-Fi
Network on Wednesdays at 9/8 Central with the
rest of his group, called GAPS (Gnome Activity
Pursuing Society). You go home, glad to be rid of
the man in the bookstore. Luckily, it is
Wednesday, so you sit down and turn on the Sci-Fi channel and watch the show.
The show contains everything you feared. A group
of individuals walking around, searching for
gnomes with equipment that doesn't actually prove
anything about gnomes. A series of anomalous
calculator readings that don't illustrate
anything at all. The group says that they are
skeptical, but they sure as heck aren't called
“We Are Going To Go Figure Out Whether Or Not
There Is Something Society.” They are GAPS. They even have t-shirts.
At one point in the show, something passes in
front of the camera. It looks like it might be
mist. The GAPS team is very excited about this,
as gnomes are known to appear in a mist-like
form. They run around for a few minutes, trying
to capture more mist. They also try to replicate
the mist. They cannot replicate the mist. It must
be real Gnome-Mist. Of course, you realize from
your seat at home that this means nothing except
that there is no more mist around, but GAPS disagrees.
They never actually call the location “Gnomed,”
but many of the members argue about whether or
not it is. There is one, who you assume is always
the hard-sell, who is very against using the word
“Gnomed” at all. He prefers the term “anomalous
activity.” Then he calls himself a skeptic, even
though the logo on his web site contains, you
guessed it, a gnome, and his show is called Gnome Hunters (GH for short).
You still aren't really sure what the mist was,
so you get online on your computer. You discover two things:
GAPS has a giant fanbase.
There are groups out there that have replicated
the mist you saw in the episode.
After all this, do you believe in gnomes?

Jim,
In reference to Ted: I agree with what your saying about some individuals who ignore the obvious facts, because they contradict what they want to be the truth, when in reality, it is not. Reality being the key word.
It would take a smarter person then myself to rationalize why Ted won't face the evidence, but, as you know, there are not too many people who think they are wrong. All of us think that we are right when we make decisions. Not too many of us, sitting here saying, "Hey, today, I am going to buy 5000 shares of Fannie Mae Stock", when the rest of us know that it is worthless. I don't think that person says, I know it is worthless, so let me waste my money on it. I believe they think they are making a wise decision, even though they are wrong and everyone tells them they will loose their money --- they still think they are right [and everyone else is wrong].
Ted, maybe it is just a simple matter that you think your right and everyone else is wrong. But in reality, can you be the only one right or should you go with the numbers, that maybe your the common denominator, not the rest of us. It's hard to admit your wrong, sometimes, maybe you need to step back and look at the bigger picture. As Jim said, you can't ignore the Scientific evidence or your opinion/conclusion becomes invalid. No one on this list would ever steer you wrong - isn't that the reason you came here in the first place, to get valid and reliable information. Well now it is time to rely on the info, eventhough you don't like the answer.
Have a great Holiday.

US PATENT 4,877,027--HEARING SYSTEM --
Sound is induced in the head of a person by radiating the head with
microwaves in the range of 100 megahertz to 10,000 megahertz that
are modulated with a particular waveform. The waveform consists of
frequency modulated bursts. Each burst is made up of ten to twenty
uniformly spaced pulses grouped tightly together. The burst width is
between 500 nanoseconds and 100 microseconds. The pulse width is in
the range of 10 nanoseconds to 1 microsecond. The bursts are
frequency modulated by the audio input to create the sensation of
hearing in the person whose head is irradiated.
US PATENT 6,011,991--COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD INCLUDING BRAIN
WAVE ANALYSIS AND/OR USE OF BRAIN ACTIVITY --
A system and method for enabling human beings to communicate by way
of their monitored brain activity. The brain activity of an
individual is monitored and transmitted to a remote location (e.g.
by satellite). At the remote location, the monitored brain activity
is compared with pre-recorded normalized brain activity curves,
waveforms, or patterns to determine if a match or substantial match
is found. If such a match is found, then the computer at the remote
location determines that the individual was attempting to
communicate the word, phrase, or thought corresponding to the
matched stored normalized signal.
US PATENT 4,858,612 - HEARING DEVICE --
A method and apparatus for simulation of hearing in mammals by
introduction of a plurality of microwaves into the region of the
auditory cortex is shown and described. A microphone is used to
transform sound signals into electrical signals which are in turn
analyzed and processed to provide controls for generating a
plurality of microwave signals at different frequencies. The
multifrequency microwaves are then applied to the brain in the
region of the auditory cortex. By this method sounds are perceived
by the mammal which are representative of the original sound
received by the microphone.
US PATENT 3,951,134 - APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REMOTELY MONITORING
AND ALTERING BRAIN WAVES --
Apparatus for and method of sensing brain waves at a position remote
from a subject whereby electromagnetic signals of different
frequencies are simultaneously transmitted to the brain of the
subject in which the signals interfere with one another to yield a
waveform which is modulated by the subject's brain waves. The
interference waveform which is representative of the brain wave
activity is re-transmitted by the brain to a receiver where it is
demodulated and amplified. The demodulated waveform is then
displayed for visual viewing and routed to a computer for further
processing and analysis. The demodulated waveform also can be used
to produce a compensating signal which is transmitted back to the
brain to effect a desired change in electrical activity therein.
US PATENT 5,159,703 - SILENT SUBLIMINAL PRESENTATION SYSTEM --
A silent communications system in which nonaural carriers, in the
very low or very high audio frequency range or in the adjacent
ultrasonic frequency spectrum, are amplitude or frequency modulated
with the desired intelligence and propagated acoustically or
vibrationally, for inducement into the brain, typically through the
use of loudspeakers, earphones or piezoelectric transducers.

COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM --
A wireless communication system undetectable by radio frequency
methods for converting audio signals, including human voice, to
electronic signals in the ultrasonic frequency range, transmitting
the ultrasonic signal by way of acoustical pressure waves across a
carrier medium, including gases, liquids, or solids, and
reconverting the ultrasonic acoustical pressure waves back to the
original audio signal. The ultrasonic speech translator and
communication system (20) includes an ultrasonic transmitting device
(100) and an ultrasonic receiving device (200). The ultrasonic
transmitting device (100) accepts as input (115) an audio signal
such as human voice input from a microphone (114) or tape deck.
US PATENT 5,629,678 - PERSONAL TRACKING AND RECOVERY SYSTEM --
Apparatus for tracking and recovering humans utilizes an implantable
transceiver incorporating a power supply and actuation system
allowing the unit to remain implanted and functional for years
without maintenance. The implanted transmitter may be remotely
actuated, or actuated by the implantee. Power for the remote-
activated receiver is generated electromechanically through the
movement of body muscle. The device is small enough to be implanted
in a child, facilitating use as a safeguard against kidnapping, and
has a transmission range which also makes it suitable for wilderness
sporting activities. A novel biological monitoring feature allows
the device to be used to facilitate prompt medical dispatch in the
event of heart attack or similar medical emergency. A novel
sensation- feedback feature allows the implantee to control and
actuate the device with certainty.

--
Tamper resistant body-worn tracking device to be worn by offenders
or
potential victims for use in a wireless communication system
receiving signals from a global positioning system (GPS).
US PATENT 6,017,302 - SUBLIMINAL ACOUSTIC MANIPULATION OF NERVOUS
SYSTEMS --
In human subjects, sensory resonances can be excited by subliminal
atmospheric acoustic pulses that are tuned to the resonance
frequency. The 1/2 Hz sensory resonance affects the autonomic
nervous system and may cause relaxation, drowsiness, or sexual
excitement, depending on the precise acoustic frequency near 1/2 Hz
used. The effects of the 2.5 Hz resonance include slowing of certain
cortical processes, sleepiness, and disorientation. For these
effects to occur, the acoustic intensity must lie in a certain
deeply subliminal range. Suitable apparatus consists of a portable
battery- powered source of weak subaudio acoustic radiation. The
method and apparatus can be used by the general public as an aid to
relaxation, sleep, or sexual arousal, and clinically for the control
and perhaps treatment of insomnia, tremors, epileptic seizures, and
anxiety disorders. There is further application as a nonlethal
weapon that can be used in law enforcement standoff situations, for
causing drowsiness and disorientation in targeted subjects. It is
then preferable to use venting acoustic monopoles in the form of a
device that inhales and exhales air with subaudio frequency.
US PATENT 6,051,594 - METHODS AND FORMULATIONS FOR MODULATING THE
HUMAN SEXUAL RESPONSE --
The invention is directed to improved methods for modulating the
human sexual response by orally administering a formulation of the
vasodilator phentolamine to the blood circulation and thereby
modulating the sexual response on demand.
US PATENT 6,052,336 - APPARATUS AND METHOD OF BROADCASTING AUDIBLE
SOUND USING ULTRASONIC SOUND AS A CARRIER --
An ultrasonic sound source broadcasts an ultrasonic signal which is
amplitude and/or frequency modulated with an information input
signal originating from an information input source. If the signals
are amplitude modulated, a square root function of the information
input signal is produced prior to modulation. The modulated signal,
which may be amplified, is then broadcast via a projector unit,
whereupon an individual or group of individuals located in the
broadcast region detect the audible sound.

Dear Friends,
My following comment relates to a recent comment by a member on sensing
conversations through glass, mirrors, or windows:
Windows and the like may be used as acousto-optical modulators (i.e.,
membranes) and the movements of the modulators (membranes) may be sensed by
various means, somewhat like the membrane of the eardrum or a drum for that
matter. It may be sensed by active means, such as by laser or a
satellite-based laser, or by passive means, by sensing an optical glint on
the glass or modulator (membrane). Once sensed, it may travel via an
optical channel to the receiver and then amplified, filtered (particularly
of atmospheric turbulence), recorded, and analysed. This may sound
rather amazing, but I have seen and heard such devices tested and they do
work, and at great distances. And, this may sound very new and high
tech, but the primordial technology dates back about 130 years, with the
earliest patents awarded to Alexander Graham Bell in 1880 and 1881 for very
primitive but working versions of this technology, which he called the
"photophone" because it used an optical channel.
A countermeasure used in some sensitive buildings is to have oscillators
built into the windows and other modulators nearby, to add sufficient and
seemingly meaningful signal noise than may not be easily subtracted from
the signal.
Attached find a few of Bell's earliest patents on this technique of remote
communication over an optical channel. In my 30 years registered to
practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, I have prepared and
prosecuted one such patent application (still pending) involving this
technology, and they typically go through high levels of security checks
(e.g., to Level Three) with various government agencies, presumably
including the CIA, the NSA and the NRO. This would indicate that the
government is following these technologies with great interest.
Best regards,
Robert Schlesinger

What you are describing in your posts is not a technical problem, but
rather a serious medical problem that you really should be discussing
with your doctor.
I realize that you are desperately trying to rationalize your thought
disorders, but the more you do this the more you are harming
yourself, and the longer it is going to take for you to get better.
Please seek immediate medical help, you are a danger to yourself, and
no I am not kidding or playing games.
Please talk to a medical doctor (one that has an M.D. after their
name), and preferably a psychiatrist who can handle cognitive disorders.

Dr. out of Ohio.do we have an identity on this doctor?
Bill I am quite certain that the vast majority of individuals who are in fact targets of 'electronic harassment' would be diagnosed as mentally ill, this for several reasons. Firstly, the truthful reporting of the experiences to a 'trained medical professional' would in itself result in a diagnosis of mental illness (make that misdiagnosis, of which I am certain there are many), as the symptoms are textbook, the reasons for this obvious from my point of view. Secondly, the unique and individual experience of such 'harassment' would, as Dr. Kelley pointed out in her paper (which I will repost below) cause destabilization of anyone's mental state and thirdly, the misinformation that is delibertly circulated on the subject, (call it dysinformation) is designed to further label targeted individuals as 'kooks' (at least) who believe in fantastic technologies that are beyond the accepted realities of science and technology. As you seem particularily interested in the psychiatric aspect of the phenomena, I would refer you to the book by the psychiatrist Dr. Colin A. Ross (The CIA Doctors: Human Rights Violations by American Psychiatrists) which documents by use of the Freedom of Information Act the use of human beings for horrific mind experimentation by the profession, this for politically based purposes. While no one is able to evaluate a specific case based on email presentation of the problem, I am quite certain that the probability that a good percentage of individuals who report being victims of 'electronic harassment' are in fact victims of destabilization from an external source. The ultimate question on this matter lies with those who allow such actions in a society such as ours supposedly based on freedoms and individual rights as expressed in our Constitution. The former Soviet Union utilized psychiatry for political purposes, apparently a model for social control techniques now in this country. I am curious Bill, why is someone with 20 years experience working with the 'criminally insane' is now interested in a TSCM list? Is there something about advanced covert electronic technologies and the criminally insane that you find of interest? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The article attributed to Dr. Kelley, the basis of which confirmed by articles in the local newspaper at the time. Once again, I see inaccuracies. Case Studies of Destabilization and Delusions Described as Radio-wave Transmitted: Behavioral Implications Kathryn Kelley Department of Psychology, University of Albany, State University of New York Albany, New York 12222, United States of America ABSTRACT The topic of the case studies involved in the research paradigm to be described here is the use of devices which have been labeled in various ways. Informal names for them have included: radio-wave hearing implants; electromagnetic auditory devices; internal, auditory, connecting devices; and radio-wave, auditory, assaultive. transmitting (RAAT) implants. They refer to the use of a miniature device attached to the human auditory canal, near the tympanic membrane. The goals of this research as a technique for presenting scenarios of experimental, composite case studies of this phenomena are stated. RAAT implants are described, as well as their implantation and detection; the transduction system; their physical, emotional, and cognitive effects; and societal implications including a brief exploration of the technological involvement. I. GOALS OF THIS RESEARCH The purpose of these implants is the use of electromagnetism in a communication device which can act as a transducer. The input typically ranges from two to seven megahertz (MHz) at low intensity. According to reports about individuals who have described them, the input is described as sound resembling that which a commercial radio might provide. Other descriptions of these experiences have also been included in the case studies which will be summarized. According to the summaries, behavioral functions of RAAT implants can encompass internal, auditory surveillance of the individual's experiences, pain delivery to that person, and transmissions of conversations as any sound heard by the individual. Examples of these functions will be part of this description. The psychological implications of using RAAT implants are broad, not the least of which is the concern that any person reporting the existence of them in one's ears, or the experience of "hearing voices' not observed by those present, may be labeled delusional as a symptom of severe psychological disturbance. Current psychiatric diagnosis would lead to the possibility that these behavioral signs support a conclusion of paranoia as part of psychosis or more narrowly, schizophrenia. Thus this research paradigm will investigate the effects of individuals' claiming these exist or happen. Why would a behavioral researcher undertake the study of hypotheses related to such a paradigm? For one important reason, the experiences related to RAAT implantation have, as already pointed out, a crucial role in the diagnosis of mental disturbance. To date, no known studies have investigated the role of this phenomena in the individual's perception, behavior, or well-being. According to a search of the literature on psychopathology, no empirical knowledge exists about these aspects of RAAT implantation as studied here, despite its contribution to the diagnostic process in such publications as the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV of the American Psychiatric Association (1). Second, the author as a social and personality psychologist works in a field which has historically initiated research in areas of social behavior by isolating a focal variable and systematically examining it from many different angles. This unstudied phenomena resembles other social behaviors subjected to close, scientific analysis using methodological variations that can lead to reliable, valid conclusions. Third, the range of analyses in the author's field extends from abstract, basic research to direct application. this paradigm brings a social behavior into the settings of basic research in order to uncover new knowledge about how this phenomenon works. The paradigm or model of research involves the use of experimental case studies to examine one factor of reported use of RAAT implants among various categories of adults. These cases are experimental in the sense that the participants were not in clinical populations; they were not being treated for mental disturbance as a part of this study. The first step in this paradigm is to conceptualize the types of cases that could reveal how the implants effect the individual. This paper described the reports of individuals represented by these cases, and integrates several aspects of the ímplanted person's experience. What to do with these accounts formed the second step in the paradigm. The technique selected for this research was to study the perceptions and attitudes of college students about the case study experiences, and the results of the initial findings have been reported at another conference. The third step for this research could broaden its implications for application; one use would be to increase awareness about the phenomena and its importance for everyday, as well as specialized, aspects of one's experience. In the next section, the case study method will be described briefly in order to distinguish it from other methods and to indicate its utility. Following sections will summarize: the RAAT implants themselves; description of the devices; conditions of implanting; the transduction system; effects on physical health; emotional and cognitive effects; and society's involvement with this phenomenon including effects on antisocial behavior and implications for the condition of a society faced with it, for medicine, law and its enforcement, and technology. II. HOW CASE STUDIES CAN BE INTERPRETED In the prologue to Paul Abramson's (1984) book, Sarah: A Sexual Biography, the defining elements of the case study as a scientific method are outlined. Abramson uses the term "slice of life" to embody the meaning of this method, tracing it to its clinical and medical roots (2). It is an account of individual human behavior that fits within a pattern that is presented stylistically. Data from a response sheet, observations of the individual by the researcher and other reporters, and past histories combine into a story that characterizes the experiences sampled for inclusion. Behavioral case studies' content can reach into endless areas of peoples' lives. Some areas may appear unrelated at the outset of cataloging, only to become interrelated as the process of storytelling unfolds. he scattered pieces reemerge at times into a sensible whole that can lead to a compelling study of individuals dealing with the challenges of a lifetime. Case studies as a method tie together subjectivity with intended objectivity. Inaccurate memory, distortion, and denial can result from projective methods; of course all self-report methods including apparently objective ones like surveys have received criticism due to their basic subjectivity. The richness from interweaving the two loose ends has also been praised as an alternative method for gaining insight into areas that can give us a "...penetrating view of a set of circumstances that are more horrendous and more involving than the content of even the most vivid fiction," as Abramson (p.5) describes a subject with an unusual history. Besides describing the apparent experiences of these five functional adults who reported presence of RAAT implants, the observations are extended into implications for macro levels of societal trends. In the field of Social and Personality Psychology, a technique for presenting this kind of information is the scenario. Once the observations about composite cases have been described, several scenarios are developed as outcomes explaining the effects on some societal trends. Not every variable that can be conceptualized is related to either the individuals' accounts or to the scenarios. Therefore, only certain phenomena are mentioned because of the relevance to the outcomes. III. DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICES In this composite of experimental studies, the term RAAT implants will refer to miniaturized transducers operating via low-frequency electromagnetism consistently with accounts of individuals who report awareness of their presence. Besides communication and pain delivery, the individuals may also describe functions of surveillance, tracking of their locations, and direction of their behavior by remote influence. Some devices currently available involve some of these functions, including implants in animals for tracking and identification, and similar purposes among prisoners. The latter may have, for example, cuffs secured to their ankles for ensuring limits on their mobility via notification to a remote location of their whereabouts. The accounts by case study subjects imply certain characteristics of the RAAT implants that involve their location, probable operation, structure and materials. The device would be invisible by an observer, given that the cases have not revealed others' mentioning that they noticed them. Because the persons have not had implantation via invasive surgery, their implied location would be internal but easily reachable. Their function would indicate placement in the ear canal, near the tympanic membrane or ear drum. Transmission of electromagnetism would be two-way, meaning that the transducers act as both receivers and transmitters. The material used for this purpose would involve some sort of metal because of their conductiveness, although the precise content is not known to these case study subjects. Some hearing assistive devices have become commercially available that resemble them in some ways, although the aids are removable by the patients and are not implanted. Some assistive devices have used electromagnetism that is programmed by a computer to a useful frequency range. Also cochlear implants can be implanted for conductive hearing loss due to nerve damage, although this type of implant involves extensive surgery and follow-up. As far as RAAT implants are concerned, the USA's Food and Drug Administration regards the next phase of them as devices and not implants. The distinction is relevant and deserves explanation. Because they are not placed within tissue, they qualify as nonimplants and therefore are subjected to less stringent tests of safety, side effects, and toxicity. IV. CONDITIONS OF IMPLANTING The conditions under which RAAT implants are placed in someone's ears are described as follows. Because most implantation seems to occur without the victim's awareness, this information has been provided by radio operators. The accounts seem consistent in describing the typical conditions for implanting as involving general anesthesia during surgery for another purpose. The more general status of the victim is to be under the care of a medical professional while unconscious. However, there is some indication that even newborns may have a different version of RAAT deposited in their ears. The adult version has been sewed into a stabilized position near the tympanic membrane or eardrum. Implanted people have been found in all professions and strata of society. Detection of these devices can involve two major methods. The first is to use an inexpensive otoscope that has a lighted funnel for viewing the auditory canal near the eardrum. In adults the usual appearance would be darkened areas that diverge significantly from the textbook appearance of the auditory canal. There may be tiny stitches visable in this area, which secure the devices in a section of the canal. Multiple pairs of implants in each ear can be forced upon the anesthetized victim when additional surgery occurs in the future. The original view was that the instruments for RAAT implanting are too large for newborns and infants up to the age of 1.5 years, but some visibility of an obstruction in the auditory canal of children who have not had anesthesia and some indication of short-distance transmission with their implanted parents has led to a revision of this view. Case study subjects and radio operators have reported that no doctor has admitted to viewing this abnormal appearance to victims of any age, including their own families. A second method involves the use of a device known as a bug detector, which is available through some mail order catalogs specializing in surveillance equipment. The appropriate detector will have enough sensitivity to signal the presence of electromagnetic waves below 5 MHz. It is simply pointed into the ear canal, where transmissions can be detected depending on the strength of radio-wave activity currently directed in that area by radio-operators antennas. What would motivate professionals to perform malpractice on such a large and invasive scale? Some accounts have described financial gain for the implanters themselves. But the daily denial by medical professionals about the visibility of RAAT implants would be very puzzling. Descriptions of an experience among physicians applying for a medical license might provide a partial explanation. According to the results of surveillance of closed, pre-licensing sessions by radio operators, these physicians are exposed to an account of the scandal and its cover-up as it relates to the malpractice connected with RAAT implanting. As a condition of receiving and maintaining their license, these physicians are described as agreeing not to reveal this information. Tactics such as threatening or psychotropically drugging patients who claim implantation have been developed. Additionally, a similar technique of maintaining denial about severely widespread malpractice has reportedly arisen among attorneys with respect to licensing and continuing in the profession. Imagine the scene of a prospective plaintiff approaching two attorneys to request that a personal injury case be undertaken, concerning the person's RAAT implantation and severe injury resulting from it. When the victim produces a bug detector and the attorneys use it to demonstrate their own implantation, while the detector buzzes away and lights up in their own ears, they amazingly reject the case anyway. V. THE TRANSDUCTION SYSTEM In the system of transmitting electromagnetism to and from RAAT implants, several factors and techniques are involved. Only the basics will be summarized here, although according to case study subjects other elements involve the use of computers, communication satellites, and organizations such as the National Security Agency. A claim like this would appear delusional in current diagnostic systems, so the description here will be limited to how people and their transceivers use RAAT implants. The operator of a transceiver as a hobbyist is termed a short-wave or ham radio operator, and operators of citizens band (CB) radios installed in vehicles can also become involved. SW radio operators can send and receive electromagnetic signals at a wide range of frequencies and across long distances. Communications with aircraft and submarines have involved these parameters. The nonprofessional is required to have a license from the Federal Communications Commission, but operators have described themselves as generally unlicensed. The cost of equipment can exceed several thousand dollars, and includes a tall antenna which can serve as a sign for locating SW radio operation. A televised news report, however, revealed that the 20 to 100 foot towers can be camouflaged by surprising structures like a church steeple, fake trees which might lead to a bird house, a flag pole, or a grain silo. When SW operators transit to or scan RAAT implants in victims, they can talk to the victims remotely and anonymously, and hear the victims speech and thoughts. They can also transmit unusual noises such as loud bangs, sirens, and telephone ringing, that might worry a victim, whether another person can hear these noises or not. RAAT implants somehow transmit and receive signals at particular frequency within the low range of 2 to 7 MHz as noted before. Thus, multiple implanted people at the same location could receive a frequency such as 4.5 MHz. They would also transmit the sounds they make or hear in this frequency range. This apparently includes bodily noises such as chewing, digestion, and elimination. A later section will summarize psychological effects that would be expected from the severe invasiveness due to this extreme internal surveillance, once the victim becomes aware of it. Most implanted persons may not become aware of their condition either because they receive few transmissions or operators do not inform them. SW radio operators at times have partially confronted the implications of their transmissions with implanted persons, and some might agree with the description of them as "hobbyists who took a wrong turn". A more typical attitude regards their torture of these victims as fun to transmit and broadcast the private lives of victims in their "cool sport". No other technology has achieved this method of torture, after all. These illegal implants could have been the source of fundamental knowledge about how the human mind operates with self-control and foresight if they were safe to use. However, the National Institutes of Health have denied any governmental role in research about them. A type of message to an implanted person that radio operators might particularly enjoy is called a ruse. This practice is aimed at degradation through some form of abuse, in this case as a stratagem or trick. According to literature from the Center for Victims of Torture in Minneapolis-St. Paul, the purpose of abuse which involves degradation gives torture its defining features. Radio operators gain a sense of achievement by accomplishing the ruse and by impressing other SW hobbyists. In the literature of psychopathology this message could be characterized as a delusion, or a false belief that can form a belief system. If the belief system persists in a disorganized state, then psychosis is implied; the circularity of this relationship between delusion and psychosis deserves attention, particularly in the context of examining the claims of some paranoid schizophrenics about the origins of their delusions. An example of a story of this type, the largest and wealthiest corporation in the world Shell Oil Company, brought these devices to a post-World War II population out of its Nazi past among its founders or heads. The implanted person would describe the ruse as including a former friend of decades ago as an heir to this wealth, who would help the person if cooperation with operators' directions occurred. The story further implied complicity in the cover-up by the Federal Government of a scandal of immense proportions regarding RA AT implants. For example, the Department of Defense would help the person to have the torturous implants removed once a targeted act had been performed. The act tended to be impossible to accomplish, in this case focusing on securing a personal injury lawyer to rectify the situation within the legal system. This story has elements in common with belief systems found in cases of paranoid, schizophrenic psychopathology that could result in that diagnosis. VI. PHYSICAL HEALTH EFFECTS In an implanted person who has received numerous transmissions, a bug detector can indicate he presence of electromagnetism from the head downward to the bottom of the spine, and outward toward the fingertips. The invisibility of the implants without an otoscope implies that they do not have batteries or other external power source. They would need to draw power from the person's own life systems including the neurological system. How this energy source works has puzzled the case study subjects, but the ruses have suggested such outlandish mechanisms as power directed from Defense Department satellites enabling the use of implants as emitters for spying purposes. Perhaps better specifications about the implants will become available if they can become empirically documented, but radio operators have so far refused to provide evidence about the transmissions or their methods despite direct requests from their victims. Effects of electromagnetism on human health have been widely documented, in frequency ranges above and below that of RAAT implants. Findings include cancer, muscular and nerve disorders, tissue damage and other serious ailments. Some of this medical literature is controversial, and the frequent use of radio waves for many purposes across fields such as law enforcement, medicine, and communications undoubtedly has contributed to the disputes. If one considers that the human auditory system works below one MHz while the SW transmissions extend into the millions of MHz, the need for study and concern of potential effects can be concluded. Among the physical effects of electromagnetism due to RAAT implantation and transmissions would be symptoms reported by their victims. These can encompass pain, swelling, and tissue damage mentioned earlier. The technique used by radio operators to produce these symptoms involves manipulating the intensity of their transmissions, repeatedly between precise levels. For example, chest pain could be caused by changing the intensity of the implanted person's dominant frequency between specific degrees on a 1 to 10 scale. A particularly troubling admission by some operators involves seizures, in which similar manipulations produces sudden convulsions. Such effects on the health of implanted persons would be consistent with symptoms documented in cases of persons described as mentally disturbed, who have reported health problems that initially do not match known syndromes or which can be difficult to assess empirically. The term that can be invoked to characterize ambiguous symptomology connected with emotionality is somaticizing. The severity of the symptoms can depend on the degree to which the implants have been activated, the frequency and severity of transmission to them by multiple operators, and their relative knowledge about producing this aspect of torture. VII. EMOTIONAL AND COGNITIVE HEALTH EFFECTS Two aspects of transmission to RAAT implants interfere with the person's functioning on a psychological level. One is the toxicity of radio waves used in this method. The other is the psychological torture directed toward the victim, which can take the form of constant, verbal abuse. The verbal assault includes insults, substituting the operators' guidance for the victim in directing his or her behavior, and simply occupying the internal space known as the self through external transmission. Radio operators have also been described as conducting conversations with each other in implanted person's head. The victim would of course be helpless in controlling such torture, given that the problem is unrecognized except as a symptom of severe disturbance. Psychological effects of the transduction system outlined here probably center on four issues: cognition, emotion, stress, and destabilization of the self. As for cognition, formation of thought, planning, and intent, deterioration of long- and short-term memory, and uncharacteristic withdrawal from external stimulation in an autistic fashion can occur. Emotional changes can consist of a range from panic to depression, including fugue and, alternatively, suicidal states. The condition can be one of extreme, ongoing stress, due to the interference with recovery that treatments of post-traumatic stress disorder can reach. An analogy could be the experiences of abducted hostages or prisoners of war during their confinement. The most severe reactions can occur among victims who have been transmitted to operators. Treatment prospects are particularly bleak for the victim. The medical community has supplied drugs with psychotropic properties that cannot repel transmissions. However, the chemicals have purportedly doped or partially sedated the victims in an unsuccessful attempt to control responsiveness to them. Removal of the stitches securing the RAAT implants would be much preferred as the only effective, ethical corrective for the malpractice. VIII. SOCIETAL IMPLICATIONS In the scenario of composite case studies, application to the larger society may occur as well as to the individual. Not all aspects of society will be touched by the effects of having RAAT implants among us. Possible areas of concern can be summarized here. 1. The more general use of implants, the higher would health care costs soar due to side effects of this device, 2. Crime rates would reflect the interference by perpetrators with the individual's self-control and formation of intent to plan and reason. A high crime rate could be predicted. 3. Law enforcement and the legal system would not be immune to negative effects; rates of incarceration would rise. In all three cases, demographic statistics in the United States have risen to puzzling levels, given the high nutritional status, advanced health care, educational level, and funding of law enforcement. Why this country would have one of the highest health care costs and rates of violent crimes, and a prison industry as the largest among businesses, have not been explained by other sets of factors either. Some accounts have also suggested that computers have become involved in the surveillance of implanted persons by radio operators. It might be possible to observe and revise the codes and inputs for computer use, thus making industrial espionage another possible concern about the effects of having RAAT implants. REFERENCES 1.
