"We have failed to comprehend that the result
of the technology that originated in the years of the arms race between the Soviet Union
and the West, has resulted in using satellite technology not only for surveillance and
communication systems but also to lock on to human beings, manipulating brain frequencies
by directing laser beams, neural-particle beams, electro-magnetic radiation, sonar waves,
radiofrequency radiation (RFR), soliton waves, torsion fields and by use of these or other
energy fields which form the areas of study for astro-physics.

[Excerpt]
For those of us who were trained in a psychoanalytical
approach to the patient which was characterised as patient centred, and which acknowledged
that the effort to understand the world of the other person entailed an awareness that the
treatment was essentially one of mutuality and trust, the American Psychiatry Association’s
Diagnostic Criteria for Schizotypal personality was always a cause for alarm.
The Third Edition (1987) of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)
required that there be at least four of the characteristics set out for a diagnosis of
schizophrenia, and an approved selection of four could be: magical thinking, telepathy or
sixth sense; limited social contact; odd speech; and over-sensitivity to criticism.
By 1994, the required number of qualifying characteristics were reduced to two or more,
including, say, hallucinations and ‘negative ‘ symptoms such as affective
flattening, or disorganised or incoherent speech – or only one if the delusions were
bizarre or the hallucination consisted of a voice keeping up a running commentary on the
person’s behaviour or thoughts. The next edition of the DSM is not due until the year
2010.
In place of a process of a labelling which brought alienation and often
detention, sectioning, and mind altering anti-psychotic medication, many psychoanalysts
and psychotherapists felt that even in severe cases of schizoid withdrawal we were not
necessarily wasting our time in attempting to restore health by the difficult work of
unravelling experiences in order to make sense of an illness. In this way, psychoanalysis
has been, in its most radical form, a critic of a society, which failed to exercise
imaginative empathy when passing judgement on people.
The work of Harry Stack Sullivan, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, Harold
Searles or R.D. Laing - all trained as psychiatrists and all of them rebels against the
standard procedures – provided a way of working with people very different from the
psychiatric model, which seemed to encourage a society to repress its sickness by making a
clearly split off group the carriers of it.
A psychiatrist in a mental hospital once joked to me, with some truth,
when I commented on the number of carrier bags carried by many of the medicated patients
around the hospital grounds, that they assessed the progress of the patient in terms of
the reduction of the number of carrier bags. It is too often difficult to believe,
however, when hearing the history of a life, that the “schizophrenic” was not
suffering the effects of having been made, consciously and unconsciously, the carefully
concealed carrier of the ills of the family.
For someone who felt his mind was going to pieces, to be put into the
stressful situation of the psychiatric examination, even when the psychiatrist acquitted
himself with kindness, the situation of the assessment procedure itself, can be ‘an
effective way to drive someone crazy, or more crazy.’ (Laing, 1985, p 17).
But if the accounting of bizarre experiences more or less guaranteed
you a new label or a trip to the psychiatric ward, there is even more reason for a new
group of people to be outraged about how their symptoms are being diagnosed. A
doubly cruel sentence is being imposed on people who are the victims of the most appalling
abuse by scientific-military experiments, and a totally uncomprehending society is
indifferent to their evidence.
For the development of a new class of weaponry now has the
capability of entering the brain and mind and body of another person by technological
means.
Harnessing neuroscience to military capability, this technology is the
result of decades of research and experimentation, most particularly in the Soviet Union
and the United States. (Welsh, 1997, 2000) We have failed to comprehend that the result of
the technology that originated in the years of the arms race between the Soviet Union and
the West, has resulted in using satellite technology not only for surveillance and
communication systems but also to lock on to human beings, manipulating brain frequencies
by directing laser beams, neural-particle beams, electro-magnetic radiation, sonar waves,
radiofrequency radiation (RFR), soliton waves, torsion fields and by use of these or other
energy fields which form the areas of study for astro-physics.
Since the operations are characterised by secrecy, it seems inevitable
that the methods that we do know about, that is, the exploitation of the ionosphere, our
natural shield, are already outdated as we begin to grasp the implications of their use.
The patents deriving from Bernard J. Eastlund’s work provide the
ability to put unprecedented amounts of power in the Earth’s atmosphere at strategic
locations and to maintain the power injection level, particularly if random pulsing is
employed, in a manner far more precise and better controlled than accomplished by the
prior art, the detonation of nuclear devices at various yields and various altitudes. (ref
High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project, HAARP).
Some patents, now owned by Raytheon, describe how to make “nuclear
sized explosions without radiation” and describe power beam systems, electromagnetic
pulses and over-the-horizon detection systems. A more disturbing use is the system
developed for manipulating and disturbing the human mental process using pulsed radio
frequency radiation (RFR), and their use as a device for causing negative effects on human
health and thinking.
The victim, the innocent civilian target is locked on to, and
unable to evade the menace by moving around. The beam is administered from space.
The Haarp facility as military technology could be used to
broadcast global mind-control, as a system for manipulating and disturbing the
human mental process using pulsed radio frequency (RFR). The super-powerful radio waves
are beamed to the ionosphere, heating those areas, thereby lifting them. The
electromagnetic waves bounce back to the earth and penetrate human tissue.
Dr Igor Smirnov, of the Institute of Psycho-Correction in Moscow, says:
“It is easily conceivable that some Russian ‘Satan’, or let’s say
Iranian – or any other ‘Satan’, as long as he owns the appropriate means
and finances, can inject himself into every conceivable computer network, into every
conceivable radio or television broadcast, with relative technological ease, even without
disconnecting cables…and intercept the radio waves in the ether and modulate every
conceivable suggestion into it. This is why such technology is rightfully feared.”(German
TV documentary, 1998).
If we were concerned before about diagnostic criteria being imposed
according to the classification of recognizable symptoms, we have reason now to
submit them to even harsher scrutiny. The development over the last decades since the Cold
War arms race has included as a major strategic category, psycho-electronic weaponry, the
ultimate aim of which is to enter the brain and mind. Unannounced, undebated and largely
unacknowledged by scientists or by the governments who employ them – technology to
enter and control minds from a distance has been unleashed upon us.
The only witnesses who are speaking about this terrible
technology with its appalling implications for the future, are the victims themselves and
those who are given the task of diagnosing mental illness are attempting to silence them
by classifying their evidence and accounts as the symptoms of schizophrenia, while the
dispensers of psychic mutilation and programmed pain continue with their work, aided and
unopposed.
If it was always crucial, under the threat of psychiatric sectioning,
to carefully screen out any sign of confused speech, negativity, coldness, suspicion,
bizarre thoughts, sixth sense, telepathy, premonitions, but above all the sense that
“others can feel my feelings, and that someone seemed to be keeping up a running
commentary on your thoughts and behaviour,” then reporting these to a psychiatrist,
or anyone else for that matter who was not of a mind to believe that such things as
mind-control could exist, would be the end of your claim to sanity and probably your
freedom.
For one of the salient characteristics of mind-control is the running
commentary, which replicates so exactly, and surely not without design, the symptoms of
schizophrenia. Part of the effort is to remind the victim that they are constantly under
control or surveillance. Programmes vary, but common forms of reminders are electronic
prods and nudges, body noises, twinges and cramps to all parts of the body, increasing
heart beats, applying pressures to internal organs – all with a personally codified
system of comments on thoughts and events, designed to create stress, panic and
desperation. This is mind control at its most benign. There is reason to fear the use of
beamed energy to deliver lethal assaults on humans, including cardiac arrest, and bleeding
in the brain.
It is the government system of secrecy, which has facilitated this
appalling prospect. There have been warning voices. “…the government secrecy
system as a whole is among the most poisonous legacies of the Cold War …the Cold War
secrecy (which) also mandate(s) Active Deception…a security manual for special access
programs authorizing contractors to employ ‘cover stories to disguise their
activities. The only condition is that cover stories must be believable.”
(Aftergood & Rosenberg, 1994; Bulletin of Atomic Scientist). Paranoia has been aided
and abetted by government intelligence agencies.
In the United Kingdom the fortifications against any disturbing glimmer
of awareness of such actual or potential outrages against human rights and social and
political abuses seem to be cast in concrete. Complete with crenellations, ramparts
and parapets, the stronghold of nescience reigns supreme. To borrow Her Majesty the
Queen’s recent observation: “There are forces at work of which we are not aware.”
One cannot say that there is no British Intelligence on the matter, as it is quite
unfeasible that the existence of the technology is not classified information.
Indeed it is a widely held belief that the women protesting against the
presence of cruise missiles at Greenham Common were victims of electro-magnetic radiation
at gigahertz frequency by directed energy weapons, and that their symptoms, including
cancer, were consistent with such radiation effects as reported by Dr Robert Becker who
has been a constantly warning voice against the perils of electro-magnetic radiation. The
work of Allen Frey suggests that we should consider radiation effects as a grave hazard
producing increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier, and weakening crucial
defenses of the central nervous system against toxins. (Becker, 1985, p. 286).
Dr Becker has written about nuclear magnetic resonance as a familiar
tool in medecine known as magnetic resonance imaging or MRI. Calcium efflux is the result
of cyclotronic resonance which latter can be explained thus: If a charged particle
or ion is exposed to a steady magnetic field in space, it will begin to go into a circular
or orbital, motion at right angles to the applied magnetic field.The speed with which it
orbits will be determined by the ratio between the charge and the mass of the particle and
by the strength of the magnetic field. (Becker, 1990,p.235) The implications of this for
wide scale aggression by using a combination of radar based energy and the use of nuclear
resonating are beyond the scope of the writer, but appear to be worth the very serious
consideration of physicists in assessing how they might be used against human
beings.
Amongst medical circles, however, it has so far not been possible for
the writer to find a neuroscientist, neurologist or a psychiatrist, nor for that matter, a
general medical practitioner, who acknowledges even the potential for technological
manipulation of the nervous system as a problem requiring their professional interest.
There has been exactly this response from some of England’s most eminent
practitioners of the legal profession, not surprisingly, because the information about
such technology is not made available to them. They would refer anyone attempting to
communicate mind- harassment as a psychiatric problem, ignoring the crime that is being
committed.
The aim here is not to attempt a comprehensive history and development
of the technology of mind control. These very considerable tasks - which have to be done
under circumstances of the most extreme difficulty - have been addressed with clarity and
courage by others, who live with constant harm and threats, not least of all contemptuous
labelling.
Their work can be readily accessed on the internet references given at
the end of this paper. For a well-researched outline of the historical development of
electro-magnetic technology the reader should refer to the timeline of dates and
electromagnetic weapon development by Cheryl Welsh, president of Citizens against Human
Rights Abuse. (Welsh 1997; 2001). There are at least one and a half thousand people
worldwide who state they are being targeted. Mojmir Babacek, now domiciled in his native
Czech Republic, after eight years of residence in the United States in the eighties, has
made a painstakingly meticulous review of the technology, and continues his
research. (Babacek 1998, 2002)
We are concerned here with reinforcing in the strongest possible terms:
i) The need for such abuses to human rights and the threats to
democracy to be called to consciousness, and without further delay.
ii) To analyse the reasons why people might defend themselves from
becoming conscious of the existence of such threats.
iii) To address the urgent need for intelligence, imagination, and
information - not to mention compassion - in dealing with the victims of
persecution from this technology, and
iv) To alert a sleeping society, to the imminent threats to their
freedom from the threat from fascist and covert operations who have in all probability
gained control of potentially lethal weaponry of the type we are describing.
It is necessary to emphasise that at present there is not even the
means for victims to gain medical attention for the effects of radiation from this
targeting. Denied the respect of credulity of being used as human guinea pigs, driven to
suicide by the breakdown of their lives, they are treated as insane – at best
regarded as ‘sad cases’. Since the presence of a permanent ‘other’
in one’s mind and body is by definition an act of the most intolerable cruelty,
people who are forced to bear it but who refuse to be broken by it, have no other option
than to turn themselves into activists, their lives consumed by the battle against such
atrocities, their energies directed to alerting and informing the public of things they
don’t want to hear or understand about evil forces at work in their society.
It is necessary, at this point, to briefly outline a few – one might say the precious
few – attempts by public servants to verify the existence and dangers inherent in
this field:
- In January 1998, an annual public meeting of the French National Bioethics
Committee was held in Paris. Its chairman, Jean-Pierre Changeux, a neuroscientist at the
Institut Pasteur in Paris, told the meeting that “advances in cerebral imaging make
the scope for invasion of privacy immense. Although the equipment needed is still highly
specialized, it will become commonplace and capable of being used at a distance. That will
open the way for abuses such as invasion of personal liberty, control of behaviour and
brainwashing. These are far from being science-fiction concerns…and constitute “a
serious risk to society.” (“Nature.” Vol 391, 1998.
- In January 1999, the European Parliament passed a resolution where it calls “
for an international convention introducing a global ban on all development and deployment
of weapons which might enable any form of manipulation of human beings. It is our
conviction that this ban can not be implemented without the global pressure of the
informed general public on the governments. Our major objective is to get across to the
general public the real threat which these weapons represent for human rights and
democracy and to apply pressure on the governments and parliaments around the world to
enact legislature which would prohibit the use of these devices to both government and
private organisations as well as individuals.” (Plenary
sessions/Europarliament, 1999)
- In October 2001, Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich introduced a bill to the House of
Representatives which, it was hoped would be extremely important in the fight to expose
and stop psycho-electronic mind control experimentation on involuntary, non-consensual
citizens. The Bill was referred to the Committee on Science, and in addition to the
Committee on Armed Services and International Relations. In the original bill a ban was
sought on ‘exotic weapons’ including electronic, psychotronic or information
weapons, chemtrails, particle beams, plasmas, electromagnetic radiation, extremely low
frequency (ELF) or ultra low frequency (ULF) energy radiation, or mind control
technologies. Despite the inclusion of a prohibition of the basing of weapons in space,
and the use of weapons to destroy objects or damage objects in space, there is no mention
in the revised bill of any of the aforementioned mind-invasive weaponry, nor of the use of
satellite or radar or other energy based technology for deploying or developing technology
designed for deployment against the minds of human beings. (Space Preservation Act, 2002)
In reviewing the development of the art of mind-invasive technology–
there are a few outstanding achievements to note:
In 1969 Dr Jose Delgado, a Yale psychologist, published a book: “Physical
Control of the Mind: Towards a Psychocivilized Society”. In essence, he displayed in
practical demonstrations how, by means of electrical stimulation of the brain which had
been mapped out in its relations between different points and activities, functions and
sensations, - by means of electrical stimulation, how the rhythm of breathing and
heartbeat could be changed, as well as the function of most of the viscera, and gall
bladder secretion. Frowning, opening and closing of eyes and mouth, chewing, yawning,
sleep, dizziness, epileptic seizures in healthy persons were induced. The intensity of
feelings could be controlled by turning the knob, which controlled the intensity of the
electric current. He states at the end of his book the hope that the new power will remain
limited to scientists or some charitable elite for the benefit of a “psychocivilized
society.”
In the 1980’s the neuromagnetometer was developed which functions
as an antenna and could monitor the patterns emerging from the brain. (In the seventies
the scientists had discovered that electromagnetic pulses enabled the brain to be
stimulated through the skull and other tissues, so there was no more need to implant
electrodes in the brain). The antenna, combined with the computer, could localize the
points in the brain where the brain events occur. The whole product is called the
magnetoencephalograph.
In January 2000 the Lockheed Martin neuroengineer Dr John D. Norseen,
was quoted (US News and World Report, 2000) as hoping to turn the
electrohypnomentalaphone, a mind reading machine, into science fact. Dr Norseen, a former
Navy pilot, claims his interest in the brain stemmed from reading a Soviet book in the
1980’s claiming that research on the mind would revolutionize the military and
society at large. By a process of deciphering the brain’s electrical activity,
electromagnetic pulsations would trigger the release of the brain’s own transmitters
to fight off disease, enhance learning, or alter the mind’s visual images, creating a
‘synthetic reality’.
By this process of BioFusion, (Lockheed Martin, 2000) information is
placed in a database, and a composite model of the brain is created. By viewing a brain
scan recorded by (functional) magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) machine, scientists can
tell what the person was doing at the time of recording – say reading or writing, or
recognise emotions from love to hate.
“If this research pans out”, says Norseen, “you can
begin to manipulate what someone is thinking even before they know it.” But Norseen
says he is ‘agnostic’ on the moral ramifications, that he’s not a mad
scientist – just a dedicated one. “The ethics don’t concern me,” he
says, “but they should concern someone else.”
The next big thing looks like being something which we might refer to
as a neurocomputer but it need not resemble a laptop – it may be reducible to
whatever size is convenient for use, such as a small mobile phone. Arising from a
break-through and exploitation of PSI-phenomena, it may be modelled on the nervous-psychic
activity of the brain – that is, as an unbalanced, unstable system of
neurotransmitters and interacting neurones, the work having been derived from the creation
of a copy of a living brain – accessed by chance, and ESP and worked on by
design.
On receiving a communication from the writer on the feasibility of a
machine being on the horizon which, based on the project of collecting electromagnetic
waves emanating from the brain and transmitting them into another brain that would read a
person’s thoughts, or using the same procedure in order to impose somebody else’s
thoughts on another brain and in this way direct his actions – there was an
unequivocal answer from IBM at executive level that there was no existing technology to
create such a computer in the foreseeable future. This is at some variance with the
locating of a patent numbered 03951134 on the Internet pages of IBM Intellectual Property
Network for a device, described in the patent, as capable of picking up at a distance the
brain waves of a person, process them by computer and emit correcting waves which will
change the original brain waves. Similar letters addressed to each of the four top
executives of Apple Inc., in four individual letters marked for their personal attention,
produced absolutely no response. This included the ex- Vice President of the United
States, Mr Al Gore, newly elected to the Board of Directors of Apple.
Enough people have been sufficiently concerned by the reports of
victims of mind control abuse to organise The Geneva Forum, in 2002, held as a joint
initiative of the Quaker United Nations Office, Geneva; the United Nations Institute for
Disarmament Research; the International Committee of the Red cross, and the Human Rights
Watch (USA), and Citizens against Human Rights Abuses (CAHRA); and the Programme for
Strategic and International Security Studies, which was represented by the Professor and
Senior Lecturer from the Department of Peace Studies at the University of Bradford.
In England, on May 25, 1995, the Guardian newspaper in the U.K. carried
an article based on a report by Nic Lewer, the peace researcher from Bradford University,
which listed “more than 30 different lines of research into ‘new age weapons’…”some
of the research sounds even less rational. There are, according to Lewer, plans for ‘pulsed
microwave beams’ to destroy enemy electronics, and separate plans for
very-low-frequency sound beams to induce vomiting, bowel spasm, epileptic seizures and
also crumble masonry.” Further, the article states, “There are plans for ‘mind
control’ with the use of 'psycho-correction messages’ transmitted by subliminal
audio and visual stimuli. There is also a plan for ‘psychotronic weapons’ –
apparently the projection of consciousness to other locations – and another to use
holographic projection to disseminate propaganda and misinformation.” (Welsh,
Timeline). Apart from this notable exception it is difficult to locate any public
statement of the problem in the United Kingdom.
Unfortunately, the problem of credulity does not necessarily cease with
frequent mention, as in the United States, in spite of the number of reported cases, there
is still not sufficient public will to make strenuous protest against what is not only
already happening, but against what will develop if left unchecked. It appears that the
administration believes that it is necessary and justifiable, in the interests of national
security, to make experimental human sacrifices, to have regrettable casualties, for there
to be collateral damage, to suffer losses in place of strife or war. This is, of
course, totally incompatible with any claims to be a democratic nation which respects the
values of human life and democracy, and such an administration which tutors its servants
in the ways of such barbaric tortures must be completely condemned as uncivilised and
hypocritical.
Disbelief as a Defence Mechanism
In the face of widespread disbelief about mind-control, it seems worth
analysing the basis of the mechanisms employed to maintain disbelief:
i) In the sixties, Soviet dissidents received a significant measure of
sympathy and indignant protest from western democracies on account of their treatment,
most notedly the abuse of psychiatric methods of torture to which they were subjected. It
is noteworthy that we seem to be able to access credulity, express feelings of indignant
support when we can identify with victims, who share and support our own value system, and
who, in this particular historical case, reinforced our own values, since they were
protesting against a political system which also threatened us at that time.
Psychologically, it is equally important to observe that support from a safe distance, and
the benefits to the psyche of attacking a split-off ‘bad father’, the
soviet authorities in this case, presents no threat to one’s internal system; indeed
it relieves internal pressures. On the other hand, recognizing and denouncing a
similar offence makes very much greater psychic demands of us when it brings us into
conflict with our own environment, our own security, our own reality. The defence
against disillusion serves to suppress paranoia that our father figure, the president, the
prime minister, our governments - might not be what they would like to be seen to be.
ii) The need to deposit destructive envy and bad feelings elsewhere, on
account of the inability of the ego to acknowledge ownership of them - reinforces the
usefulness of persons or groups, which will serve to contain those, disowned, projected
feelings which arouse paranoid anxieties. The concepts of mind-invasion strike at the very
heart of paranoid anxiety, causing considerable efforts to dislodge them from the psyche.
The unconscious identification of madness with dirt or excrement is an important aspect of
anal aggression, triggering projective identification as a defence.
iii) To lay oneself open to believing that a person is undergoing the
experience of being invaded mentally and physically by an unseen manipulator requires very
great efforts in the self to manage dread.
iv) The defence against the unknown finds expression in the split
between theory and practice; between the scientist as innovator and the society who can
make the moral decisions about his inventions; between fact and science fiction, the
latter of which can present preposterous challenges to the imagination without undue
threat, because it serves to reinforce a separation from the real.
v) Identification with the aggressor. Sadistic fantasies, unconscious
and conscious, being transferred on to the aggressor and identified with, aid the
repression of fear of passivity, or a dread of punishment. This mechanism acts to deny
credulity to the victim who represents weakness. This is a common feature of satanic
sects.
vi) The liberal humanist tradition which denies the worst destructive
capacities of man in the effort to sustain the belief in the great continuity of cultural
and scientific tradition; the fear, in one’s own past development, of not being
‘ongoing’, can produce the psychic effect of reversal into the opposite to
shield against aggressive feelings. This becomes then the exaggerated celebration of the
‘new’ as the affirmation of human genius which will ultimately be for the good
of mankind, and which opposes warning voices about scientific advances as being
pessimistic, unenlightened, unprogressive and Luddite. Strict adherence to this
liberal position can act as overcompensation for a fear of envious spoiling of good
possessions, i.e. cultural and intellectual goods.
vii) Denial by displacement is also employed to ignore the harmful
aspects of technology. What may be harmful for the freedom and good of society can be
masked and concealed by the distribution of new and entertaining novelties. The
technology, which puts a camera down your gut for medical purposes, is also used to limit
your freedom by surveillance. The purveyors of innovative technology come up with all
sorts of new gadgets, which divert, entertain and feed the acquisitive needs of insatiable
shoppers, and bolster the economy. The theme of “Everything’s up to date
in Kansas City” only takes on a downside when individual experience – exploding
breast implants, say – takes the gilt off the gingerbread. Out of every innovation
for evil (i.e. designed for harming and destroying) some ‘good’ (i.e.
public diversion or entertainment) can be promoted for profit or crowd-pleasing.
viii) Nasa is sending a spacecraft to Mars, or so we are told.
They plan to trundle across the Martian surface searching for signs of water and
life. We do not hear dissenting voices about its feasibility.
Why is it that, when a person accounts that their mind is being
disrupted and they are being persecuted by an unseen method of invasive technology, that
we cannot bring ourselves to believe them? Could it be that the horror involved in
the empathic identification required brings the shutters down? Conversely, the shared
experience of the blasting of objects into space brings with it the possibilities of
shared potency or the relief that resonates in the unconscious of a massive
projection or evacuation – a shared experience which is blessed in the name of man’s
scientific genius.
ix) The desire ‘not to be taken in’, not to be taken for a
fool, provides one of the most powerful and common defence mechanism against credulity.
Power, Paranoia and Unhealthy Governments
The ability to be the bearer and container of great power without
succumbing to the pressures of latent narcissistic psychoses is an important matter too
little considered. The effect of holding power and the expectation and the need to be seen
as capable of sustaining it, if not exercising it, encourages omnipotence of thought. In
the wake of this, a narcissistic overevaluation of the subject’s own mental processes
may set in. In the effort to hold himself together as the possessor, container and
executor of power, he (or indeed, she) may also, undergo a process of splitting which
allows him, along with others, to bear enthralled witness of himself in this illustrious
role. This may mean that the seat of authority is vacated, at least at times. The
splitting process between the experiencing ego and the perceiving ego allows the powerful
leader to alternate his perception of himself inside and outside, sometimes beside,
himself. With the reinforcement of himself from others as his own narcissistic object,
reality testing is constrained. In this last respect, he has much in common with the
other powerful figure of the age, the movie star. or by those, in Freud’s words, who
are “ruined by success.”
In a world, which is facing increasing disillusion about the gulf
between the public platforms on which governments are elected, and the contingencies and
pragmatics of retaining defence strategies and economic investments, the role of military
and intelligence departments, with their respective tools of domination and covert
infiltration, is increasingly alarming. Unaccountable to the public, protected from
exposure and prosecution by their immunity, licensed to lie as well as to kill, it is in
the hands of these agents that very grave threats to human rights and freedom lies.
Empowered to carry out aggression through classified weapon experimentation which is
undetectable, these men and women are also open to corruption from lucrative offers of
financial reward from powerful and sinister groups who can utilize their skills,
privileged knowledge and expertise for frankly criminal and fascist purposes.
Our information about the psychological profiles of those who are
employed to practice surveillance on others is limited, but it is not difficult to imagine
the effects on the personality that would ensue with the persistent practice of such an
occupation, so constantly exposed to the perversions. One gains little snatches of insight
here and there. In his book on CIA mind control research (Marks, 1988), John Marks quotes
a CIA colleague’s joke (always revealing for personality characteristics): “If
you could find the natural radio frequency of a person’s sphincter, you could make
him run out of the room real fast.” (One wonders if the same amusement is derived
from the ability to apply, say infra-sound above 130 decibels, which is said to cause
stoppage of the heart, according to one victim/activist from his readings of a report for
the Russian Parliament.)
Left to themselves, these servants of the state may well feel exempt
from the process of moral self-scrutiny, but the work must be dehumanising for the
predator as well as the prey. It is probably true that the need to control their agents in
the field was an incentive to develop the methods in use today. It is also an
effectively brutalising training for persecuting others. Meanwhile the object, the prey,
in a bid for not only for survival but also in a desperate effort to warn his or her
fellows about what is going on, attempts to turn himself into a quantum physicist, a
political researcher, a legal sleuth, an activist, a neurologist, a psychologist, a
physiologist – his own doctor, since he cannot know what effects this freakish
treatment might have on his body, let alone his mind. There are always new methods to try
out which might prove useful in the search to find ways of disabling and destroying
opponents – air injected into brains and lungs, lasers to strike down or blind,
particle beams, sonar waves, or whatever combination of energies to direct, or destabilise
or control.
Science and Skepticism
Scientists can be bought, not just by governments, but also by sinister
and secret societies. Universities can be funded by governments to develop
technology for unacceptably inhumane uses. The same people who deliver the weapons -
perhaps respected scientists and academics - may cite the acceptable side of scientific
discoveries, which have been developed by experimenting on unacknowledged, unfortunate
people. In a cleaned up form, they are then possibly celebrated as a break-through in the
understanding of the natural laws of the universe. It is not implausible that having
delivered the technical means for destruction, the innovator and thinker goes on, wearing
a different hat, to receive his (or her) Nobel Prize. There are scientists who have
refused to continue to do work when they were approached by CIA and Soviet
representatives. These are the real heroes of science.
In the power struggle, much lies at stake in being the first to gain
control of ultimate mind-reading and mind-controlling technology. Like the nuclear bomb,
common ownership would seem by any sane calculations to cancel out the advantage of
possession, but there is always a race to be the first to possess the latest ultimate
means of mass destruction. The most desirable form is one that can be directed at
others without contaminating oneself in the process - one that can be undetected and
neatly, economically and strategically delivered. We should be foolish to rule out secret
organisations, seeing threat only from undemocratic countries and known terrorist groups.
As consumers in a world which is increasingly one in which shopping is
the main leisure activity, we should concern ourselves to becoming alert to the ways in
which human welfare may have been sacrificed to produce an awesome new gadget. It may be
the cause for celebration for the ‘innovator’, but brought about as the result
of plugging in or dialling up the living neuronal processes of an enforced experimentee.
If we are concerned not to eat boiled eggs laid by battery hens, we might not
regard it morally irrelevant to scrutinise the large corporations producing electronically
innovative ‘software.’ We might also be wary about the origins of the sort
of bland enticements of dating agencies who propose finding your ideal partner by matching
up brain frequencies and ‘bio-rhythms’.
We do not know enough about the background of such technology,
nor how to evaluate it ethically. We do not know about its effects on the future, because
we are not properly informed. If governments persist in concealing the extent of their
weapon capability in the interests of defence, they are also leaving their citizens
disempowered of the right to protest against their deployment. More alarmingly, they are
leaving their citizens exposed to their deployment by ruthless organisations whose
concerns are exactly the opposite of democracy and human rights.
Back in the United Kingdom
Meanwhile, back in England, the Director of the Oxford Centre for
Cognitive Neuroscience, Professor Colin Blakemore, also the elective Chief Executive of
the Medical Research Council writes to the author that he “... knows of no technology
(not even in the wildest speculations of neuroscientists) for scanning and
collecting ‘neuronal data’ at a distance.” (Blakemore, 2003, ) This
certitude is at distinct variance with the fears of other scientists in Russia and the
United States, and not least of all with the fears of the French neuroscientist,
Jean-Pierre Changeux of the French National Bioethics Committee already quoted (see page
5). It is also very much at odds with the writing of Dr Michael Persinger from the
Behavioural Neuroscience Laboratory at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.
His article “On the Possibility of Directly Accessing Every Human Brain by
Electromagnetic Induction of Algorithms” (1995), he describes the ways that
individual differences among human brains can be overcome and comes to a conclusion about
the technological possibilities of influencing a major part of the approximately six
billion people on this planet without mediation through classical sensory modalities but
by generating electromagnetic induction of fundamental algorithms in the atmosphere. Dr
Persinger’s work is referred to by Captain John Tyler whose work for the American Air
Force and Aerospace programmes likens the human nervous system to a radio receiver. (1990)
Very recently the leading weekly cultural BBC radio review had as one
of its guests, the eminent astro-physicist and astronomer royal, Sir Martin Rees, who has
recently published a book, “Our Final Century”, in which he makes a sober and
reasoned case for the fifty-fifty chance that millions of people, probably in a ‘third-world
country’ could be wiped out in the near future through biotechnology and
bio-terrorism – “by error or malign release.” He spoke of this devastation
as possibly coming from small groups or cults, based in the United States. “…few
individuals with the right technology to cause absolute mayhem.” He also said
that in this century, human nature is no longer a fixed commodity, that perhaps we should
contemplate the possibility that humans would even have implants in the brain.
The other guests on this programme were both concerned with
Shakespeare, one a theatre producer and the other a writer on Shakespeare, while his
remaining guest was a young woman who had a website called “Spiked”, the current
theme of which was Panic Attack, that is to say, Attack on Panic. This guest vigorously
opposed what she felt was the pessimism of Sir Martin, regarding his ideas as essentially
eroding trust, and inducing panic. This reaction seems to typify one way of dealing with
threat and anxiety, and demonstrates the difficulty that a warning voice, even from
a man of the academic distinction of Martin Rees, has in alerting people to that
which they do not want to hear. This flight reaction was reinforced by the presenter who
summed up the morning’s discussion at the end of the programme with the words:
“We have a moral! Less panic, more Shakespeare!”
The New Barbarism
Since access to a mind-reading machine will enable the operator to
access the ideas of another person, we should prepare ourselves for a new world order in
which ideas will be, as it were, up for grabs. We need not doubt that the contents
of another’s mind will be scooped up, scooped out, sorted through as if the event was
a jumble sale. The legal profession would therefore be well advised to consider the laws
on Intellectual Property very judiciously in order to acquit themselves with any degree of
authenticity. We should accustom ourselves to the prospect of recognizing our work coming
out of the mouth of another. The prospect of wide-scale fraud, and someone posturing in
your stolen clothes will not be a pretty sight. The term “personal mind
enhancement” is slipping in through the back door, to borrow a term used by the
Co-Director of the Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics, and it is being done through
technologically-induced mental co-ercion – mind raping and looting. In place
of, or in addition to, cocaine, we may expect to see ‘mind-enhanced’
performances on “live” television.
The brave new science of neuropsychiatry and brain mapping hopes to
find very soon, with the fMRI scanner - this “brand new toy that scientists have got
their hands on” - “the blob for love” and “the blob for guilt”,
(BBC Radio 4: All in the Mind, 5 March, 2003). Soon we will be able to order a brain scan
for anyone whose behaviour strikes us as odd or bizarre, and the vicissitudes of a life
need no longer trouble us in our diagnostic assessments. In his recent Reith Lectures for
the BBC (2003), Professor Ramachandran, the celebrated neuroscientist from the La Hoya
Institute in San Diego, California, has demonstrated for us many fascinating things that
the brain can do. He has talked to us about personality disorders and shown that some
patients, who have suffered brain damage from head injury, do not have the capacity to
recognise their mothers. Others feel that they are dead. And indeed he has found brain
lesions in these people. In what seems to be an enormous but effortless leap, the
self-styled “kid in a candy store” is now hoping to prove that all
schizophrenics, have damage to the right hemisphere of the brain, which results in the
inability to distinguish between fantasy (sic) and reality. Since Professor
Ramachandran speaks of schizophrenia in the same breath as denial of illness, or agnosia,
it is not clear, and it would be interesting to know, whether the person with the head
injury has been aware or unaware of the head injury. Also does the patient derive comfort
and a better chance at reality testing when he is told of the lesion? Does he feel
better when he has received the diagnosis? And what should the psychoanalysts – and
the psychiatrists, - feel about all those years of treating people of whose head injuries
they were absolutely unaware? Was this gross negligence? Were we absolutely deluded in
perceiving recovery in a sizeable number of them?
It is, however, lamentable that a neuroscientist with a professed
interest in understanding schizophrenia should seek to provide light relief to his
audience by making jokes about schizophrenics being people who are “convinced that
the CIA has implanted devices in their brain to control their thoughts and actions, or
that aliens are controlling them.” (Reith Lecture, No 5, 2003).
There is a new desire for concretisation. The search for meaning has
been replaced by the need for hard proof. If it doesn’t light up or add up it doesn’t
have validity. The physician of the mind has become a surgeon. “He found a lump as
big as a grapefruit!”
Facing up to the Dread and Fear of the Uncanny
Freud believed that an exploration of the uncanny would be a major
direction of exploration of the mind in this century. The fear of the uncanny has been
with us for a very long time. The evil eye, or the terrifying double, or intruder, is a
familiar theme in literature, notably of Joseph Conrad in The Secret Sharer, and
Maupassant’s short story, Le Horla. Freud’s analysis of the uncanny led him back
to the old animistic conception of the universe: “…it seems as if each one of us
has been through a phase of individual development corresponding to the animistic phase in
primitive men, that none of us has passed through it without preserving certain residues
and traces of it which are still capable of manifesting themselves, and that everything
which now strikes us as ‘uncanny’ fulfils the condition of touching those
residues of animistic mental activity within us and bringing them to expression.”
(Freud: 1919. p.362)
The separation of birth, and the childhood fear of ‘spooks in the
night’, also leave their traces in each and every one of us. The individual
experience of being alone in one’s mind – the solitary fate of man which has
never been questioned before, and upon which the whole history of civilised nurture is
based - is now assaulted head-on. Since growing up is largely synonymous with
acceptance of one’s aloneness, the effort to assuage it is the basis for compassion
and protection of others; it is the matrix for the greatest good, that of ordinary human
kindness, and is at the heart of the communicating power of great art. Even if we must all
live and die alone, we can at least share this knowledge in acts of tenderness which atone
for our lonely state. In times of loss and mental breakdown, the starkness of this
aloneness is all too clear. The best of social and group constructiveness is an
effort to allay the psychotic anxieties that lie at the base of every one of us, and which
may be provoked under extreme enough conditions.
The calculated and technological entry into another person’s mind
is an act of monumental barbarism which obliterates– perhaps with the twiddling of a
dial – the history and civilisation of man’s mental development. It is more than
an abuse of human rights, it is the destruction of meaning. For any one who is forced into
the hell of living with an unseen mental rapist, the effort to stay sane is beyond the
scope of tolerable endurance. The imaginative capacity of the ordinary mind cannot
encompass the horror of it. We have attempted to come to terms with the experiments
of the Nazis in concentration camps. We now have the prospect of systematic control
authorised by men who issue instructions through satellite communications for the
destruction of societies while they are driving new Jaguars and Mercedes, and going to the
opera.
This is essentially about humiliation, and disempowerment. It is a
manifestation of rage acted out by those who fear impotence with such dread, that their
whole effort is directed into the emasculation and destruction of the terrifying rival of
their unconscious fantasies. In this apocalypse of the mind the punitive figure wells up
as if out of the bowels of the opera stage, and this phantasmagoria is acted out on
a global scale. These men may be mad enough to believe they are creating a ‘psychocivilised
world order”. For anyone who has studied damaged children, it is more resonant of the
re-enactment from the unconscious, reinforced by a life devoid of the capacity for
empathic identification, of the obscenities of the abused and abusing child in the savage
nursery. Other people -which were to them like Action Man toys to be dismembered, or
Barbie Dolls to be obscenely defiled - become as meaningless in their humanity as
pixillated dots on a screen.
Although forced entry into a mind is by definition obscene, an
abbreviated assessment of the effects that mind-invaded people describe
testifies to the perverted nature of the experiments. Bizarre noises are
emitted from the body, a body known well enough by its owner to recognise the noises as
extrinsic; air is pumped in and out of orifices as if by a bicycle pump. Gradually the
repertoire is augmented - twinges and spasms to the eyes, nose, lips, strange tics, pains
in the head, ringing in the ears, obstructions in the throat, pressure on the bowel and
bladder causing incontinence; tingling in the fingers, feet, pressures on the heart, on
breathing, dizziness, eye problems leading to cataracts; running eyes, running nose;
speeding up of heart beats and the raising of pressure in the heart and chest; breathing
and chest complaints leading to bronchitis and deterioration of the lungs; agonizing
migraines; being woken up at night, sometimes with terrifying jolts ; insomnia;
intolerable levels of stress from the loss of one’s privacy. This collection of
assorted symptoms is a challenge to any medical practitioner to diagnose.
There are, more seriously, if the afore-going is characterised as
non-lethal, the potential lethal effects since the capability of ultrasound and
infra-sound to cause cardiac arrest, and brain lesions, paralysis and blindness, as well
as blinding by laser beam, or inducing asphyxia by altering the frequencies which control
breathing in the brain, epileptic seizure – all these and others may be at the
fingertips of those who are developing them. And those who do choose to use them may be
sitting with the weapon, which resembles, say, a compact mobile telephone, on the
restaurant table next to the bottle of wine, or beside them at the swimming pool.
Finally – if the victims at this point in the new history of this
mind-control, cannot yet prove their abuse, it must be asserted that, faced with the
available information about technological development – it is certainly not possible
for those seeking to evade such claims – to disprove them. To wait until the effects
become widespread will be too late.
- For these and other reasons which this paper has attempted to address, we would call for
an acknowledgement of such technology at a national and international level. Politicians,
scientists and neurologists, neuroscientists, physicists and the legal profession should,
without further delay, demand public debate on the existence and deployment of
psychotronic technology; and for the declassification of information about such devices
which abuse helpless people, and threaten democratic freedom.
- Victims’ accounts of abuse should be admitted to public account, and the use of
psycho-electronic weapons should be made illegal and criminal,
- The medical profession should be helped to recognise the symptoms of mind-control and
psychotronic abuse, and intelligence about their deployment should be declassified so that
this abuse can be seen to be what it is, and not interpreted automatically as an
indication of mental illness.
If, in the present confusion and insecurity about the search for evidence of weapons of
mass destruction, we conclude that failure to locate them - whatever the truth of the
matter –encourages us to be generally complacent, then we shall be colluding with
very dark forces at work if we conclude that a course of extreme vigilance signifies
paranoia. For there may well be other weapons of mass destruction being developed and not
so far from home; weapons which, being even more difficult to locate, are developed
invisibly, unobstructed, unheeded in our midst, using human beings as test-beds. Like ESP,
the methods being used on humans have not been detectable using conventional detection
equipment. It is likely that the signals being used are part of a physics not known to
scientists without the highest level of security clearance. To ignore the evidence of
victims is to deny, perhaps with catastrophic results, the only evidence which might
otherwise lead the defenders of freedom to becoming alert to the development of a fearful
new methods of destruction. Manipulating terrorist groups and governments alike, these
sinister and covert forces may well be very thankful for the professional derision of the
victims, and for public ignorance.
