The ultimate weapon


Electromagnetic weapons
operate at the speed of light; they can kill, torture and enslave; but the
public are largely unaware that they exist, because these weapons operate by
stealth and leave no physical evidence. Electromagnetic weapons have been tested
on human beings since 1976. By widely dispersing the involuntary human
test-subjects, and vehemently attacking their credibility, it has been possible
for the United States to proceed with these human experiments unhindered by
discussions or criticisms, let alone opposition.


This ultimate weapon system is
currently being deployed in Iraq. The US Air Force and the Marine Corps refer
to it as “active denial technology”, as if it were used purely for defense, but
it is not (see Box 1).




Box 1

The truth about “active
denial technology”

There is only one
electromagnetic spectrum.  Nuclear weapons release a great deal of
ionizing radiation in the high frequency range above visible light, where the
energy of the radiation is capable of breaking chemical bonds. Ionizing
radiation is generally acknowledged to cause cancer. 

The US military has
weaponized the non-ionizing radiation below the visible range, the microwaves
and radio waves that are used in mobile phones and telecommunications. 
The US government has strenuously denied that there could be health hazards
from non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, both as a defence of the
involuntary human research it has been conducting for many years but has not
yet acknowledged, and to dissuade other countries from developing similar
weapons. 

The only biological effect
of non-ionizing radiation that the US government has acknowledged for many
years is heating, and accordingly, it characterizes “active denial
technology” as that which produces pain from sudden heating of the skin; but
this is not how it really works.


Reading brain waves and mind
control


In 1959, Saul B. Sells, a
professor of social psychology at a minor US university submitted a proposal to
the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to build for them the most sophisticated
electroencephalography machine that would have an integral computational
capacity to analyze and, hopefully, make sense of the brain waves it
recorded.  In other words, the professor proposed to make a machine that
could tell the CIA what a person was thinking, whether or not the person wished
to disclose that information.


The CIA approved the project
in 1960, adding some library research with five objectives. The fifth objective
of the research was, “Techniques for Activating the Human Organism by Remote
Electronic Means”.  The entire assignment was thereafter known as MKULTRA
subproject 119, MKULTRA being the CIA’s notorious mind control programme. 
It was based on the erroneous notion that the Soviets already possessed the means
to control minds and the US had to catch up as rapidly as possible. 


The documents pertaining to
MKULTRA subproject 119 are now held in the National Security Archives (a
non-governmental organization) at George Washington University in Washington,
D.C. [1]. John Marks, author of The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: The
CIA and Mind Control
, (Times Books, New York, 1979) donated the MKULTRA
documents; his book was republished by W.W. Norton & Company, Inc., New
York, 1991 and is still in print.


Project Bizarre followed
MKULTRA subproject 119 in 1965.  The purpose of Bizarre was to record and
analyze the complex microwave signal allegedly being beamed at the American
Embassy in Moscow by the Soviets from a building across the street.  The
interesting thing about Project Bizarre is that while the United States has
denied to this very day that there could be adverse health effects from
microwave radiation, it immediately suspected that “the Moscow signal” was
producing a variety of health effects in Embassy personnel, particularly in the
successive ambassadors at whose office it was claimed the signal was being
beamed.  At the same time that the State Department was testing embassy
personnel for DNA breaks produced by the Moscow signal, it felt constrained
from complaining to the Soviets because the power of their signal was a tiny
fraction of what the US said was a safe, human exposure level. Journalist
Barton Reppert has written the most authoritative account of the Moscow signal
[2]. (Editor’s note: DNA breaks from exposure to mobile phones have been
confirmed in recent lab research [3, 4] (Science in Society 24).)


Converting sound to microwaves


In 1973, Joseph C. Sharp, an
experimental psychologist at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research performed
an experiment that was pivotal to the development of the torture equipment
being shipped to Iraq today.  He had James Lin set up equipment in his
laboratory which converted the shape of sound waves into microwave radiation
that enabled him to hear himself vocalize the names of the numbers from one to
ten in his head, by-passing the mechanism of his own ears.  This
particular experiment was never published but is mentioned in Lin’s book, Microwave
Auditory Effects and Applications
, published in 1978 [5].


The experiment has been
confirmed in US Patent 6 587 729, “Apparatus for Audibly Communicating Speech
Using the Radio Frequency Hearing Effect” [6]. This patent is for an improved
version of the apparatus used in the 1973 laboratory experiment, issued on July
1, 2003 and assigned to the Secretary of the Air Force. It provides scientific
evidence that it is possible to hear threatening voices in one’s head without
suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.


Why has this patent been
published openly at a time when the US Government is practicing a degree of
secrecy that rivals Stalin’s Kremlin?  I have no satisfactory answer,
except to say that the apparatus in the patent has already been superseded by
equipment that achieves the same effect by far more sophisticated means. 
It blocks the normal processes of memory and thought by remote electronic
means, while at the same time supplying false, distorted and/or unpleasant
memories and suggestions by means of a process called “synthetic
telepathy”.  The equipment that produces synthetic telepathy is sometimes
referred to as “influence technology”. 


While voices and visions,
daydreams and nightmares are the most astonishing manifestations of this weapon
system, it is also capable of crippling the human subject by limiting his/her
normal range of movement, causing acute pain the equivalent of major organ
failure or even death, and interfering with normal functioning of any of the
human senses.  In other words, any of the tortures with which the words
Guantanamo Bay have become synonymous can be achieved by remote, electronic
means.


Instruments of torture


Influence technology is also
capable of persuading the subjects that their mind is being read, that their
intellectual property is being plundered, and can even motivate suicide or the
murder of family, friends, and co-workers. During the years of the so-called
“War on Drugs” (which preceded the “War on Terrorism”), letters that the
involuntary human subjects had written or were about to receive regularly
vanished from the mail, as though the government had a huge covert operation
through post offices across the country.  When George Herbert Walker Bush
became president (in1989), the incidence of co-worker killings in the post
offices became so great that the expression “going postal” began to replace the
commonly used expression of “going crazy”.  The killing of co-workers in
other workplaces began to command more media attention too [7].


I estimate that the cost of
imprisoning a human being in his/her own body and applying unremitting torture
is US$5 000 000 to $10 000 000 a year (see below).


By “unremitting torture” I
mean exactly that. Because there is no visible evidence left by this new
torture equipment such as damage to the skin, it is possible to torture the
involuntary human subjects for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  This can
be done and is being done even on Christmas and Easter [8].


I arrived at my estimate on
the cost of testing/using electromagnetic weapons on a human subject by
visiting a cable TV channel that specializes in the sale of goods over the air
24 hours a day.  I questioned the number of technical staff required,
their working hours and salary range; also the number of back-up personnel
required to prepare the programming for broadcast.  I did not inquire
about the cost of electronics and the schedule by which it is depreciated. 
I have estimated a cost for depreciation that is included in my estimate of the
cost of torturing one involuntary human subject for one year.


Torture is a labor-intensive
business. What objective would justify this investment?  Could it be
something as insane as to rule the world by enslaving the democratic
governments of the more populous countries?  This objective is certainly
consistent with the United States’ disdain for, and hostility toward, the
United Nations, the international conventions and covenants it has ratified in
the past and customary international law [9]. 


On 1 March 2001, the Marine
Corps announced a new non-lethal weapon, “active denial technology”.  It
produces enormous pain by allegedly boiling the molecules of water in the human
skin without damaging the skin itself.  As described in an article
published in New Scientist, it employs pulsed electromagnetic radiation
at a frequency of 95 GHz with a range of about 600 meters [10]. There have been
several new reports in the magazine in 2005, including one published in July
[11], describing volunteers taking part in tests to determine how safe the
Active Denial System (ADS) weapon would be if used in real crowd-control. The
ADS weapon’s beam was reported to cause pain within 2 to 3 seconds, and becomes
“intolerable after less than 5 seconds”. 


Active denial technology is
the cornerstone of the system employed to torture 2 000 persons in the privacy
of their own homes, not only in the United States but around the world,
wherever countries have signed Status of Forces Agreements with the United
States [12]. Allegations of torture were first received from countries with
which the United States has a special intelligence-sharing relationship i.e.
the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.  Then reports began
to arrive from the conquered countries where the United States still has large
numbers of troops stationed, i.e. Germany and Japan.  When France rejoined
the military arm of NATO in the late 90s, we began to receive allegations of torture
in France.  Very recently we have begun to receive allegations of torture
from India, where American companies have begun to outsource, not only help
lines, but also programming [13].


And then there is the case of
Russia, where the involuntary, human subjects of torture experiments appear to
be both numerous and well organized.  I have been told reliably that every
Russian scientist who could speak English has now found a home in an American
university or government laboratory.  This is plausible, considering the
frequently voiced American worry that Soviet era experts in nuclear weaponry
and biological warfare might find employment in Iran.  It is a fact that
at the end of World War II the US Army swept through Germany in an operation
called Project Paperclip, recruiting, in particular, Nazi rocket scientists and
experts in aerospace medicine.  Some other scientists were recruited
simply to deprive the Soviet Union of this resource.  So what has become
of the Soviet scientists who didn’t speak English?  In time we will find
out for certain, but for now it is a safe guess that at least some of them have
been employed to study the Russian value system and decision making processes
by torturing other Russians with American “influence technology” [14].


Two interesting and important
articles on bioelectromagnetic weapons have recently appeared in the New
Scientist
:  “Maximum pain is aim of new U.S. weapon” and “Police toy
with ‘less lethal’ weapons”, both written by David Hambling [15]. See also US.
Patent 6 536 440 of March 25, 2003  [16].


Since completing this article
in mid-June 2005, it has come to my attention that the Israelis are deploying a
device called “The Scream”, which sends out bursts of audible, but not loud
sound at intervals of about 10 seconds.  A photographer at the scene of a
demonstration said that he continued to hear the sound ringing in his head even
after he covered his ears.  This suggests to me that the active agent is
electromagnetic rather than acoustic.  In other words, the Israelis have
come up with a device that is far cleverer than our “active denial
technology”.  It not only deters rioters, but also issues an audible
warning that it has been turned on, which the US device does not, leaving it
entirely to the enlisted men operating it to determine how much burning pain
their adversaries receive.  The margin for error with the US device is
unconscionable.  It may as well be called a lethal weapon because in
practice it very frequently will be [17].
