Chapter 10

   Recently, through TV and the news media, there has been an
effort toward making parapsychology respectable.  A university in
Great Britain gives a Ph.D in the subject.  The CIA has a program
of "disinformation" which may be a convenient cover for scientists
working on programs which seem to the uninformed to border on the
occult, such as bioplasma research and Kirlian photography.
Children are being trained to see auras when exposed to a box
containing electrodes.  As the voltage increases they see auras not
generally visible to less sensitive adults.  The auras can be
photographed using Kirlian photography.  Kirlian photography
reveals electrochemiluminesence which surrounds all living matter.
It is named for the Russian electrical engineer, Seymon Kirlian,
who passed his hand through a high energy, high frequency
electromagnetic field and saw an aura around it.  Kirlian produced
the first high energy cameras that could photograph these auras.
British biologist, Harvey Oldfield, has produced a radio device
that displays the phenomena on a screen.  British researchers are
reported to be using high energy, high frequency beam of radio
signals to monitor organic diseases.  Hearts respond with radio
signals in harmonic resonance which are picked up by the Kirlian
"gun" and displayed on an oscilloscope screen.  This instrument-
ation transposed to space could read vital signs at a distance.
The U.S. government had information on this process in 1950 and
released it to the CIA, Rand, the Air Force and other government
agencies.
   The CIA has advertised for people in psychological services and
they are known to do other things besides prepare statistics.  The
combination of psychology, the basis for brainwashing, and human
behavior modification, known as conditioning, and electric shock
has long been a treatment for experimental animals and the mentally
ill humans.
   Various branches of the U.S. government are spending million of
dollars to finance Mankind Research Unlimited, Inc. (MRU).  The
goal of this corporation is mind control.  MRU has done invest-
igations of high frequency Kirlian effect photography, thought-
controlled devices and psycho-kinetic switches.  This is the device
which permits a pilot to fire a missile by simply thinking "fire."
Computers can be linked to the brain to recognize electrical
patterns in the cortex word for word.
   MRU has a brochure describing its interests in the fields of
biophysics including "Geo-pathic Efforts on Living Organisms" which
are attempts to induce illness by changing the magnetic nature of
animal magnetic field geography.  Another MRU field of interest is
behavioral science which includes the analysis and measurement of
human subjective states by computer analyzed EEGs and biofeedback.
MRU's pioneering use of computer analyzed EEG probably led to CIA-
sponsored Brain Research Labs at San Diego Hospital, Columbia,
Stanford and New York Universities.
   MRU has investigated the computer analysis of psychophysical
recordings including data obtained from EKG, EEG, GSR (galvanic
skin response) and the plethysmography used to measure blood volume
changes in the capillaries of fingers.  These measurements would be
supplemented with a recently developed apparatus for measuring
electric field radiations from living bodies (System Research Lab-
oratories of Dayton, Ohio, patent No. 3,555,529 12 January 71).
   MRU facilities are located in seven states.  In Mountain View of
Los Altos, California, MRU scientists have tested psychoacoustical
transmitters that produce sound patterns termed "infra and ultra-
sonic" that interact with brain cells and erase information.
Studies have been done to develop software systems to record and
evaluate biological effects of special environmental factors on
plants, animals and humans.
   Extensive studies have been conducted in sleep research of human
unconscious behavior patterns whit sensors to determine the effects
of external phenomena on dreams.  Interesting features of this
research are the use of electromagnetic recordings of EEGs, ultra-
violet and infra-red sensors, precise weight analysis, and the
correlation of these technical factors with electromagnetic field,
moon and planetary positions, and barometric changes.
   C.G. Jung connected depth psychology  with theoretical physics
and the natural sciences.  An examination of what he and others
have had to say about synchronicity leads the scientifically
trained mind to the conclusion that synchronicity is a trickster.
The clown theme appears in the folklore of many cultures and is
generally connected to a belief in the occult or supernatural
forces.
   UFO activity, analyzed by computer, seems to be some kind of
scheduled reinforcement. If it is scheduled reinforcement who is
causing it?  Such reinforcement may have been the purpose of the
odd aircraft activity which I observed or it may have been to make
me sure that humans only were involved.  Most likely they were
relay stations which have to get close enough to read the electro-
magnetic field given off by the human brain and body.  When the CIA
says that they cannot read Russian minds, it may be because they
can't get near enough to do so.  UFOs may act as relay stations
getting close enough to position the subject, read signals and
transmit them.
   Left to himself, an individual may truly be said to be free
except for his early childhood conditioning, and the values of his
own which he has developed through trial and error which either
negatively or positively reinforce his beliefs and behavior.  Panic
or emotionally upsetting conflicts can be evoked by stimulating
conflicting drives.  Under ordinary conditions, when two drives are
unequal, the stronger suppresses the weaker.  The manipulation of
living creatures becomes possible when the means exists to activate
and combine two different drives or cause confusion.  Ordinary
stimuli might be music and alcohol, and the added artificially-
induced drive might be sexual stimulation with high frequency
microwave energy.  The automobile and the home can be invaded with
messages from phone or satellite.  Traffic control by aircraft is
common.  Why not mind control or directed thinking?
   Laser-projected Voices tell me, "You are doing what you want to
do," but I am never free of their broadcast stimuli which I can
feel, and microwave or ultrasonic frequencies of which I may be
totally unaware.  I cannot be sure that I am not really in pain due
to natural causes.  I only feel unaccountable changes in mood such
a depression, euphoria or relief.
   As long as I was unaware of what was going on, I could delude
myself that my spontaneous activity was the result of the continual
shifting and interplay of forces and ideas in my central nervous
system.  When I became aware that my environment was partially
controlled, there were a whole new set of variables with which to
cope.  For me the price has been a complete turn-off of sexual
fantasy affecting my sex life, and heightened, unpleasant nervous
tension.  I cannot pray, dream or aspire privately.  There is no
escape from the mundane, continuously present flat line of con-
trolled or directed thinking.  It gives me present and unpleasant,
nightmarish, repellent, at times falsely seductive, intimate,
existentialist quality.  One is traveling mentally from nowhere to
nowhere.  You exist in a funnyhouse world with distorting mirrors.
The reflections are partly real, partly exaggerated and partly
transitional.  My greatest strength has been a sense of humor and
proportion.  To fall below the flat line of directed thinking
results in depression.
   The physical pain which can be inflicted, and the depression
evoked are the greatest strengths of the operators at the other end
of the beam.  I cannot quite imagine how they measure the dis-
tortion they cause except from a reading of verbal thought, spoken
words and unusual physical actions.  At the very least they can
immobilize or neutralize to the point of death through the inhib-
ition of natural physical processes, the use of pain, and dis-
ruption of mental activity.  The amount of mental activity blocked
by depression is hard to gage.  Since the process began I have not
often had a free choice about what I wanted to think and even when
I did, I was aware that someone was reading my thoughts either
directly through computer printout or indirectly at a later time
and doing programmed bugging.  In any case, the human urge to
think, dream, love and create have been frustrated.
   One of the beauties of the situation for the perpetrators is
that the victim has no records, tapes or pictures except those
subjectively stored, written or spoken.  The subject is in a
classical neurotic, no-win situation.  There are few dates, people
or facts to report.  Only a limited number of people in elec-
tronics, and our Federal government, can fit the fragments of
circumstantial evidence together.  Those who monitor equipment,
simply monitor equipment.  The blips, numbers, tapes and film clips
that might result, are too removed from the flesh and blood, and
transmitted over too great a distance to have any emotional meaning
for the operators.  They may not even know what they are trans-
mitting.  The only individuals to whom the object might be at all
human would be a psychological behavioral results.
   If my premises are true, the United States government is in-
volved in a program to control behavior through biophysics and
electrochemical control.  In July 1977, The New York Times reported
a fourteen-year program by the CIA intelligence services to control
human behavior with drugs, electric shock, radiation, ultrasonics,
psychology and psychosurgery.  As reported in Time, August 17,
1977, Admiral Stanfield Turner, testifying on CIA activity said
that there had been no drug testing since 1973.  He did not say
that the use of ultrasonics, microwave and electrochemical energy
had been discontinued.  It never will be because it is the
technology of both now and the future.
   It is encouraging that there were difficulties finding psy-
chiatrists to conduct experiments for the CIA.  One memorandum
reported that a particular psychiatrist might not care to corporate
in certain more "revolutionary" phases of the project.  Another
psychiatrist was described as having no ethical compunctions about
being completely corporative in the program regardless of how
bizarre it might be.
   The CIA investigated bioplasma fields or weak electromagnetic
fields surrounding both human and inanimate objects and monitored
the bioplasma fields of agents, according to The New York Times.
I am inclined to think that they were training agents in receiving
laser messages and trying out the reading of unspoken thoughts
formulated into words mentally.  They also worked with trained
seals and otters in the well-researched field of ultrasonics.
Humans hear in a range of 15-20,000 cycles per second of hertz.
Any frequency higher than this is ultrasonic, and cannot be
consciously perceived.
   Newspaper accounts based on actual occurrences or unethical
experiments show a procession of unpalatable events exposed due to
the persistence of individuals in freedom-loving organizations.
Attempts have been made to present human experiments in a favorable
light.  Our scientific journals are replete with limited, but
existing tales of experiments in which the individual was too in-
competent due to mental capacity or age to protest being used as a
human guinea pig.  The fact is that there are people in this coun-
try who have been subjected to experimentation both willingly and
inadvertently.
   In 1950, Army reports show that a cloud of bacteria was sprayed
over the San Francisco Bay area resulting in cases of pneumonia.
In 1956, the CIA and the Army sprayed an unknown substance in New
York City streets and the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels as part of
their MK-Ultra program.  Between 1949 and 1969, a period of twenty
years, test were carried out with simulated bacteriological sub-
stances in the United States, Alaska and Hawaii.  These are facts,
not fiction involving Dr. Strangelove.
   Under the Freedom of Information Act, a Church of Scientology
group uncovered documents released by the CIA which showed that
someone in this agency signed out a specimen of whooping-cough
bacteria, Hemophilus pertussis, from the Army's biological warfare
center in Fort Deterick, Maryland, on January 26, 1955 for testing.
Florida state medical records show that the whooping cough outbreak
killed twelve persons in the mid-1950's.  The whooping cough bac-
teria was used in tests in Tampa Bay and near Sebring, Florida.
Records show that whooping cough cases jumped in 1954 from 339 with
one death, to 1080 and twelve deaths in 1955, an increase of over
two hundred percent.  Tampa Bay was one of the three places that
showed a sharp increase.  The CIA now says that most of its chem-
ical and biological files were destroyed in 1973 by order of
Director Richard Helms.
   In December, 1980, the wife of a member of the Canadian
Parliament and four other Canadians sued the U.S. government for
five million dollars in U.S. District Court charging that a
Montreal psychiatrist conducted CIA-financed brainwashing experi-
ments on them between 1957 and 1963.  During this time they were
given LSD and massive electroshock treatments to wipe out past
behavior patterns.  (The government track record on LSD is well-
known through the publicized suicide of a U.S. government scientist
and the ensuing, successful suit of his family twenty years later.)
The Canadians were subjected to continuously played tape messages
to induce new brain patterns.  The plaintiffs contended that their
mental health remains impaired as a result.
   During Project Dork, the Army released a powerful hallucinogenic
drug, BZ, ten to one hundred times more potent than LSD, in clouds
during tests in Utah in 1964.  Between 1960 and 1969, 362 people
were involved.  The tests were supposed to prove that enemy
soldiers could be incapacitated by inducing delirium.  The effects
were measured at a distance of a thousand yards.  The volunteer
subjects experienced an increase in heart rate and blood pressure,
increased blood flow or flushing, dry mouth and loss of appetite,
hyperactive peristaltic sounds, weakness or tightness in legs, per-
sistent blurred vision and urinary frequency.  Except for the
visual difficulties, the other symptoms were at least found to be
reversible with adequate physostigmine treatment.  Three dozen
individuals who underwent the tests still complain of aftereffects
including the birth of abnormal children who are mentally de-
ficient.  The volunteers themselves suffer memory lapses,
hallucinations and, not surprisingly, emotional problems.
   Federal snoops have used one-way mirrors to investigate and
record sexual activity in San Francisco.  Both the FBI and the CIA
have been used in covering up and disseminating false information.
   Functions of the FBI or the local police who are responsible for
protecting all Federal installations have been performed by the
CIA, a violation of their CIA charter and resulting in actions
against American citizens.  CIA directors have always worn two hats
as heads of the intelligence community and as heads of their own
agency.  The supra-directorship of the American Intelligence Comm-
unity was enhanced by President Ford on paper when he made the CIA
Director overall head of the intelligence community.  At that time
the Director would tell the Secretary of Defense what to do with
his intelligence agencies.  Military intelligence, including the
Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency and the
intelligence arms of the three services have more than five times
as many people, and more than ten times the budget of the CIA and
State Department intelligence service combined.
   You should not delude yourself that Cabinet Officers appointed
by the President have any real power.  Commenting on his official
title as Assistant Secretary for Defense for Public Affairs, Thomas
B. Ross said, "I'm in charge of 300-plus people inside the building
(Pentagon) and 3000 public information people worldwide and a
budget of $50 million, yet I can fire exactly two people, my
civilian deputy and my secretary."  What we get for $50 million is
debatable.
   The CIA's Science and Technology Directorate's annual budget was
one hundred million dollars per year.  The Directorate of Science
and Technology of the CIA includes the Office of Electronics, the
Office of Special Projects and the Office of Computer Services.
Overruns are funded largely by the Air Force which underwrites the
national overhead reconnaissance effort for the entire U.S. intell-
igence community.  The projected FY 81 budget included a research
and development figure for the Department of Defense of $16.565
billion, forty-six percent of the total national Research and De-
velopment budget.  Obviously with this kind of funding, many
universities and industrial scientists work for the Department of
Defense.  Many of our officer cadre have Ph.D.'s.  They represent
a technological-military elite and work with the university, in-
dustry and think tank personnel, many of them who have security
clearance and are not allowed to talk to you or me.  Our armed
services have sufficient money and instrumentation for national
defense, and unlimited snooping, at home and abroad.
   Several hundred satellites in space give us most of our early-
warning detection of an enemy attack.  Much of our communications
intercept capabilities, our ability to intercept exotic new radars
in space are also relayed by satellite.  A hundred percent of our
ability to predict the weather is now in space.  Most of our
ability to navigate submarines and ships and aircraft will soon be
based there.  Theoretically the satellites make it almost imposs-
ible for secret war preparations and thus keep the peace.  This
lack of privacy between nations extends to individuals.
   The U.S. has more than a dozen satellites watching the Soviet
activities, taking high resolution pictures, collecting comm-
unications signals and penetrating darkness and camouflage sensing
heat and color variations.  A world-wide network of antennae eaves-
drops on Russian communications ranging from telephone calls to
sensitive military radio messages.  Giant radars follow test
flights of missiles and photograph reentry vehicles as they land in
the Pacific or on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
   It has become difficult to know weather national defense is a
defense or an offense.  The National Reconnaissance Office, one of
our country's most expensive and sensitive intelligence organ-
izations is likely to be reviewed by the Reagan administration.
NRO is known as a black organization; that is, none of its work is
subject to public scrutiny.
   Despite a program lasting many years, U.S. intelligence com-
plains that the Soviet Union might be ahead technologically and
that the Soviets already have land-based laser capable of shooting
down low-orbiting U.S. spy satellites.  They fear that if the
Soviets get their projected 11-ton space station aloft that they
could put such a weapon in space.
   As a result of this the Defense Department awarded a $58.7
million contract for its own ASAT program to Vought Corporation of
Dallas.  The U.S. plan was not to use anything so crude as radar or
infra-red, but to put into space hunter-killer satellites by the
mid-1980s armed with lasers that could vaporize metal in twenty
billionths of a second.
   Navstar Global Positioning Systems (GPS) will tell anyone who
tunes in exactly where he is anywhere in the world.  It has been
speculated that GPS can eventually be used on anything that floats,
flies, runs, walks, crawls, or slithers.  This is a method which
could be used now by any intelligence agency to bug an individual.
   Another method of person-to-person communications through space
without any intervening wires became possible when Elliot Gruenberg
at IBM came up with a retro-directive oscillating loop for comm-
unications instead of a conventional transmitter receiver.  Called
Synapz and manufactured by Broad-Com, Inc. of Cos Cob, Connecticut,
its electronic mirrors in the form of antennas send a microwave
signal back where it came from and leads to two-way TV without
cable.  Retro-directive arrays across the country would use
atmospheric electronic noise to maintain a radio link with each
other and to send messages from any point in the system to any
other.  Such a system, fixed on a human MEG could account for
automatic feedback, plus visualization of any kind.  Engineers
reviewing Synapz for NASA say that it appears promising, and claim
that even the experts are not entirely sure how it works.  It was
demonstrated to the Department of Defense and is to be used as a
space link and alternative to the technology proposed by the Bell
System to expand use of mobile telephone service nationwide.  Some-
body evidently understands very well how it works.
   At one time radiotelescopes and optical telescopes were not the
same thing.  Now we have optical interferometers using laser which
combine listening and optical ability, plus lenses that see any
wave length of the electromagnetic spectrum including infrared for
night vision and smog, gamma rays, ultra-violet, etc.
   Honeywell advertises their manufacture of everything form
thermographic (meaning heat sensitive) body scanners to optical
interferometers.  The use of halogen compounds which have broad
transmission capabilities for all types of things from satellite
weather monitoring to infrared night-vision systems through laser-
assisted nuclear fusion for the conversion of energy.  Honeywell's
research is partially funded by the Department of Energy and the
Department of Defense.  Honeywell advertises that their scientists
worked with both university and commercial instrumentation experts
to develop a holographic and shearing interferometer system.  They
say that combined with their previously developed video digiti-
zation/fringe analysis system this new interferometer provides a
unique system for non-contact optical evaluation.
   Using an electronically powered radiotelescope you have a
machine optimized to detect extremely weak signals.  Recently
GEODSS (ground based electro-optical deep space surveillance) was
completed two years ahead of schedule.  GEODSS uses three powerful,
miniaturized telescopes to scan the skies.  The images they convey
are focused onto sensitive photoimaging tubes rather than film.
Using an outgrowth of military night-vision devices, these tubes
convert the faintest flickers of light into electronic impulses fed
into computers.  GEODSS photographs rapidly several electronic
snapshots.  Moving objects between exposures are recorder by
computer.  Images that remain the same are erased.  The information
can be relayed by microwave and satellite to NORAD's master com-
puters.  GEODSS is an optical digital computer using laser, not
integrated circuits to carry and process signals.  It preforms in
microseconds tasks that occupied photogrammetricians for hours, and
can spot a soccer ball 25,000 miles up.
   Magnetic observations by the Stanford Solar Observatory can
detect magnetic intensities to a few hundredths of a gauss.  The
MEG (magnetoencephalogram) which records the magnetic field
surrounding the human head is measured in gauss.  It is not to hard
to imagine that somewhere there exists a holographic interferometer
specially developed to read the magnetic waves of the human brain
at a distance.
   Since 1973, the Advanced Research Project Agency of the Defense
Department has utilized the combined efforts of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, New York University, the University of
California at Los Angeles and the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, Ames Research Center at Moffett Field in California
to read minds at a distance by deciphering the brain's magnetic
waves.  The Pentagon denied the project was secret although a
reporter was ousted from a meeting on the subject by someone
identified as a member of the CIA.
   The MEG (megnetoencephalogram) is many times more sensitive than
EEG (electroencephalogram).  MEG was originally reported in 1968.
A computer search of the current literature reveals little pub-
lished on MEG because it is undoubtedly classified in ARPA's
(Advanced Research Projects Agency) computer network.  ARPA
controls and funds a computer network, ARPANET, which connects
various educational and research institutions across the country.
In 1972, twenty-seven institutions were joined by leased lines
capable of handling data at a rate of fifty kilobits a second.
   Searching for help and information, I approached an acquaintance
who unknown to me had been a former member of RAND and a designer
of ARPANET.  He represented to me that ARPANET was a benign
activity.  He even has a computer terminal in his house connected
to it.  ARPA research information is stored in this "locked com-
puter" and unavailable.  Access to "Host" computers is controlled
by an IMP (interface message processor).  ARPANET is also linked to
NORSAR (Norwegian Seismic Array) and SDAC (Seismic Data Analysis
Center) in Alexandria, Virginia.  A satellite link transmits
NORSTAR real-time data to SDAC.  There it is combined and
correlated with data from other non-secret global arrays to achieve
a composite picture and made available to selected ARPANET users
including the NSA (National Security Agency) with whom it maintains
a direct link.  Somehow "benign" is not a word I would use to des-
cribe the activity of this computer network.
   All graduations of feeling and action of which we are capable
are provided by variations in the frequency of nerve impulses and
by the number of nerve cells stimulated.  The brain signal is even
simpler than Morse code because it uses only dots.  All information
can be translated by the number of dots, and the manner in which
they are grouped.  Communications engineers call this system pulse
frequency modulation.  The cerebral cortex is a resonator that en-
codes frequencies.  To convert measurable brain signals or nerve
signals to digital code for computer is extremely easy.
   The computer can recognize approximately sixty-four phonemes
into which the English language has been divided.  It is reasonable
to deduce that the computer is capable of recognizing the patterns
these phonemes produced in any human brain.
   Unlike the EEG, the MEG records signals primarily from a small
area of the cortex free of the smearing effects of bone.  This
helps scientists pinpoint the source of electrical signals from the
brain and to study the activities of the cortex.  The MEG reads
only the magnetic fields produced by nerve fibers close to the
skull which are in the cortex.  Any difference between EEG and MEG
signals mean that the source is deep in the brain and not cortical
in nature.  Both are necessary for the interpretation of thought
and action of the human being.  The MEG provides a map of the
sensory homunculus or Broadmann's cortical areas through which the
human anatomy can be targeted.  All parts of the face, hands, legs,
foot, trunk, shoulder, mouth and intra-abdominal area can be stimu-
lated by electrical contact with the cortex.
   Under ordinary conditions nobody around you is able to hear or
understand your thoughts, but unbeknownst to you, every action,
thought, and emotion, can result in the driving of the muscles
involved in vocalization.  The nerve impulses that activate them
produce paths of electric potentials in the brain and muscles.  The
nerve impulse or electric potential is a miniature electrochemical
explosion that travels along outside the nerve fiber as a vortex
ring of negative ions.
   The Departments of Neurometrics at Stanford and New York
University have brought the EEG to a new degree of sophistication
by using computers to remove artifacts such as sixty cycle hum, and
eye and body movements to compute the wave shape of the AER
(average evoked response) to a particular stimulus.
   Brain waves of volunteers have been analyzed as they look at
photographs and are presented with true or false questions.  The
computer attempts to determine in the volunteer recognizes a
specific photograph or is thinking true or false.  Researchers
claim they can determine when a volunteer recognizes another face
by analyzing that volunteer's brainwaves.
   At Stanford scientists are attempting to reverse this process
and are attempting to transmit thoughts and instructions by playing
previously recorded brain waves; thus, "You are programming your-
self."  The human brain and eye are also being studied with com-
puters so that photographic process can be understood.  "We are
seeing through your eyes."
   The difficulties involved in reading these microwaves became
surmountable with the deployment of SQUID (super conducting quantum
interference device) which uses niobium coils in liquid helium.  It
is a circuit capable of measuring minute quantities of magnetic
field or flux, quantum by quantum.  It makes possible the measure-
ment of the smallest magnetic fields.  With modern electronic
techniques, environmental magnetic noise is almost completely
eliminated.  By using a holographic interferometer (acoustic
telescope) optimized to detect weak signals it would be possible to
read the microwave print of any human brain, since brain prints are
as distinctive as fingerprints.  Each individual has his own
characteristic pattern of shifts in frequency and size.  Thus
brainwaves of one individual can be distinguished from those of
another.
   Electronic devices use ultrasonic waves to store and recognize
electronic signals for use at a later time, perform operations that
usually requires a computer, and separate one signal from another.
They also amplify weak electrical signals using ultrasonic waves.
It is possible to do things with acoustic surface waves that are
difficult to do with simple electronic components, i.e. recognize
a signal of known form.  Laser is so sensitive that it can actually
"hear" and record the electrical potentials or nerves as they are
transmitted.
   The interdigital transducer converts the electrical signal into
an acoustic surface wave and reconverts the acoustic wave back into
an electrical signal.  Acoustic surface wave devices can be made
precisely and uniformly by photolithographic reproduction tech-
niques and are programmable.  Such a device recognizes any desired
code or signal from among other digital codes even in the presence
of considerable "noise" responding strongly to the programmed
signal and weakly to all others.  This kind of device is used in
radar technology enabling air-traffic controllers to accurately
pick out the unique identification signal of each aircraft as it
comes within range.
   Another silicon chip, IOSA (integrated optic spectrum analyzer)
uses surface acoustic waves to convert processed radar signals into
sound waves.  The sound waves interact with light from a tiny solid
state laser and cause the beam to bend toward a detector array made
of charge couple devices.  This amount of deflection indicates the
frequency of the radar signal.  This device is part of a telemetry
or remote measuring system which involves picking up signals,
transmitting them to a distant location for conversation into
displays, recordings or comparisons with other data.  Automated
reaction to information received directly or indirectly may be
programmed.
   Wave analyzers deal with the complex oscillations of the brain
in somewhat the same way that a prism separates the colors of a
beam of light.  The components of this complex wave are isolated by
electronic circuits tuned to several frequencies.  A statistical
average can be determined from many readings.  From this infor-
mation, the versatility of the brain under investigation can be
assessed, as well as its repertoire of adaptive strategems.
   If mind reading is to take place, this technique must be applied
to all parts of the brain at once involving many analyzers.
Problems for researchers used to be found in the fact that
frequency analysis of tactics might come too late to be of
immediate value.  In the past, frequency analysis did not give
information on how rapidly changing signals from different parts of
the brain related, or which of suggested meanings would be the
correct choice.  Now, via computer, all this can be instantly
known.
   Suppose it is true, as some officials insist, that the MEG
cannot really be read at a distance.  What would make one believe
that one's mind was read?  Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been
developing over a period of at least twenty years.  Many scientist
have been engaged in making it seem that the computer can think.
At a 1980 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement
of Science, Robert Wilensky of the University of California at
Berkeley was asked if his program, PAM, had intelligence.  PAM
incorporates a sense of how people analyze and reason.
   Does the computer augment human intelligence instead of inter-
preting and repeating it?  To do this the computer must deal with
a massive volume of data and requires selectivity or the ability to
decide what is or is not relevant.  To the group of programmers at
the meeting, the human brain is theoretically existent proof
against computers.  Perhaps they do not talk to bioengineers.
   The Cray, a large computer, has twenty to one hundred times the
capacity of the smaller ones.  It is different from machines that
simply keep track of facts.  It is specially designed for problem
solving and can carry out biomedical experiments with the computer
simulating the human effects.  The Cray does one hundred million
calculations a second.  The human brain can only process five
thousand bits of information per second.  What kind of match for
the Cray would you be?
   The computer works by using an acoustic processor to sample the
wave patterns of the speaker's voice at least 20,000 times a
second.  The information in the sample is digitized.  A thousand
samples are collected at a time and put through the procedure
called discrete Fourier transform which involves adding, sub-
tracting and integrating waveforms to produce a useful synthesis of
the information over time.  This yields characteristic patterns
known as spectral time samples, one hundred of them every second.
The computer compares these with prototypes stored in the
processor's memory.  The processor classifies the time samples
according to the sounds of the original word.  As the acoustic
processor puts them out, a linguistic decoder matches the sound
patterns to the most probable sentence pattern they seem to fit.
   Current "injection logic" circuits, (Josephson junctions)
operate at temperatures so low that metal loses resistance to
electric current.  The less resistance, the faster the current
flows and the faster the computer works.  Invented by Tushar
Gheewals at IBM, the circuits operate in as little as 13 pico-
seconds, or trillionth of a second.  Roughly, a picosecond is to a
second what a second is to thirty years.  This is about the same as
the speed of light.
   Suppose you are observed over a long enough period of time for
analysis of your thoughts, speech, prejudices, view-points, sexual
peculiarities, and likes or dislikes of both people and things.
What kinds of words would make you happy or unhappy if they were
programmed by an artificial intelligence expert with the help of a
psychologist or physiatrist? "Bizarre," you say.  "Possible," I
say, psychological analysis has been a hobby for a long time.
   Let's take it a little further, and let's assume the computer
program is out to make you as uncomfortable as possible in the
privacy of your own home or anyplace else.  "Really, impossible,"
you say.  Stop and think a while.  It takes a little getting used
to.  There will be many things in your life that upset you or make
you unhappy.  You may have expressed yourself aloud to close
friends in person or on the phone.  You may have blown your stack
at work or been talked about.  In our society the walls literally
have ears.  Anything that vibrates can be read at a distance, even
your vocal cords.  Assume that for some reason you come to the
attention of someone in security, either national or international.
You could do this very easily by making an overseas phone call or
a trip, or you could have a relative who is involved with someone
in whom the U.S. government is interested.
   Originally, when harassment began, I wondered if the repetition
of my thoughts were bounced back by a tape recorder.  Later I
realized that only a fast computer could transmit them back, and
that no human could read back so quickly over space.  Human
comment, however, might be inserted by an observer reading some
kind of visual display if he was close enough.
   Properly programmed, the Cray can project to you in any voice
selection on the basis of the structure of your sentenced thought,
which will reach it before you have really formulated it, and
select either a suitable programmed answer or read back to you what
you have been thinking.  Thus, you may really be programming
yourself.  It may even seem to anticipate your answers.
   What I am saying is that you have to transform the thoughts in
your mind verbally but silently.  Although they are unspoken, the
muscles that drive speech formulate the words in advance, and can
form an electric potential track in your brain that can be read at
a distance by telemetry.  Each nerve impulse causes a sound im-
perceptible to the human ear which can be picked up by laser.
   A trained observer or observers can insert speech if they read
what you are about to think or say.  There is a lag time between
the formation of the words in your brain and the formed thought
which gives the computer time to read part or all, or guess to a
fair degree of accuracy what you think and return an appropriate or
inappropriate answer depending upon how you feel about it.  At
times they may even seem funny.  Your electric potentials will
always anticipate you a little.
   The feeling that your mind is being read can be produced by a
thought being verbally introduced at a subliminal level.  At that
threshold you are not aware that it is presented, but because your
brain resonates, the thought is received and you become "conscious"
of it.  It is designed to be intense enough to influence the mental
processes of behavior of the individual.  It literally "crosses
your mind."  Next, at a higher sound level a Voice repeats the
thought you just received without knowing it, thus consciously
producing the sensation of mind-reading in the receiver.  You
think, "they must be reading my mind!"  What they are really doing
is presenting an acceptable idea in your phraseology that you are
most likely to be thinking while you are involved in a particular
kind of activity.
   Subliminal aural suggestion presented in a manner typical of
your habits of thought and speech is hard for the receiver to
distinguish from the original thought - original in that it really
started in the mind of the receiver and wasn't suggested to him.
Just how hard is it to differentiate between the two, the original
idea and the suggested idea, is hard to estimate.  You really have
to be paying strict attention to yourself and what you are doing.
You still might not be certain, because the presented idea might by
typical of your mind set so that you could accept or go along with
it.  Should the idea just "pop" into your head and not be part of
a train thought you might be suspicious.  Unfortunately, with this
kind of thing, an idea can be "slipped" in.  If it seems logical or
fits your mood or mode of thought, you would not question it.
Often it would not matter but while using machinery, driving a car,
or piloting a plane it could become fatal.
   Suppose you forget something and suddenly were reminded at a
subliminal level.  You could not be sure that you yourself rem-
embered or whether it was called to your attention by an outside
mind keeping track of your activity.  You could be writing some-
thing and thinking as you wrote and suddenly write the wrong word.
On rereading you would realize that as you wrote it, it was "intro-
duced."  You might misdial a phone number and not be sure whether
you made a natural mistake or that one that was inflicted at a
subliminal level.
   When you finally realize what is really going on you are
certainly going to be upset, at the very least.  High verbals are
natural prey for this kind of situation especially if they can be
observed.  They express themselves well, often aloud in writing.
Their thought patterns and methods of arriving at conclusions or
solutions, their modi operandi, can be predicted if they are ob-
served over time.
   It is extremely delibitating, nightmarish situation to be in.
For instance, during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep when you are
dreaming, ideas are verbally suggested to you at a subliminal level
thus controlling or influencing your dream content.  With a com-
bination of subliminal, aural presentation of ideas plus the
introduction or infliction of bizarre physical effects, real
hallucinatory images and effects could be produced.  The more
emotionally upset you are, the more effective this kind of
psychological technique is likely to be.
   We used to worry about just being observed in our homes.  In
George Orwell's 1984, every home had a watching monitor.  It is now
only 1981.  The monitor has been around since the fifties in one
form or another. The ultimate in mind control has become possible.
We have the technology, the psychological techniques and the people
willing to use them.  It is not preventable at present.
Fortunately we still have time to protect ourselves from government
experimentation if we are aware of it because only the U.S. govern-
ment has the technology, manpower and material to mount such an
effort.
   Once you are a victim you become aware of the possibility of
suggestions to people you meet casually, your friends, relatives
your immediate family.  There is no one who cannot be reached in
this way.  You are never absolutely positive that what they say or
do is suggested, but you may have strong suspicions when something
they do seems atypical or out of context or something you have been
forced to listen to before involuntarily.
   In the future we may all have to go around wearing some protect-
ive device on our heads to prevent our resonating cortexes from
receiving unwanted messages.  My brother's suggestion of putting a
bucket over my head was not too far off.  The only problem with his
suggestion was that a bucket is not sophisticated enough.
   You know your cortical signals are read because you receive
obnoxious stimuli to various parts of your anatomy through the
electrical stimulation of the cortical layer or your brain.  The
cortex has been mapped and stimulation of the proper section of
cortex will make you salivate, sneeze or jump with muscle spasm,
twitch or jerk.  This sounds like a grade B movie, but the script
is programmed by the U.S. intelligence service with your tax money.
   Cray II was in the works in early 1979, and the prediction was
that it would do 500 million calculations a second, not just 100
million.  A third, even faster computer, was taking shape in
Seymour Cray's mind beyond this.  At Livermore's fusion computer
center a scientist said, "There's no machine that Seymour Cray can
conceive that would be too fast for us."  When it comes through his
bedroom door some night he may change his mind.  Perhaps with his
security clearance he won't have to worry, and will be able to ask
it to leave, with the people who are operating it.
   Now, I know from talking to others that you are going to say,
"But it would take an awful lot of money and manpower to mount such
an effort.  Who would be interested in you, or me or anyone?"  The
other very human reaction is "Who would be so mean that they would
do such a thing to you?"
   Both of these arguments ignore the facts.  We have unlimited
material and manpower on duty twenty-four hours a day.  The second
response about mean people is the most naive.  Read the newspapers
about what we still do to our Blacks, the reactions of Blacks and
Chicanos to unresponsive government, or the treatment of women by
the military when they have the temerity to enlist.  You can still
read about WW II concentration camp victims and operators.  Current
European court cases are testimony forty years later to just how
"mean" man can be.
   You should not be optimistic about civil liberties in an age
when you are carefully examined by the Department of Education, the
Social Security Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, the
Department of Motor Vehicles, labor unions, medical insurance com-
panies, credit companies, banks, employers, and all these facts are
carefully stored in some computer to be regurgitated either by
accident, or on purpose, when you least expect it and for the
flimsiest of excuses.  Add to this money from the LEAA (Law En-
forcement Assistance Administration) for the police enforcement,
intelligence and so-called crime fighting, and you will find that
it is only a short step from your police department to your bedroom
if some nosy Nellie of either sex decides to make life hot for you.
Our society isn't open, it is wide open.  If anything else is to be
done about harassment and the preservation of privacy, then people
must be made aware of what is possible now, incredible though the
facts may seem.
   Among acknowledged gadgets are a police crowd control device
consisting of a high frequency sound generator which produces about
twenty-five to thirty-five hertz coupled to a high efficiency
tweeter and some concentrating baffles.  This machine is something
like a bull horn.  The beam produces severe nausea, pain, the
desire to urinate and defecate, but more especially to get out of
range.  There is no reason why these symptoms cannot be produced
from space.
   In the home sonic cushions that contain transducers which emit
low frequency musical vibrations directly into the body of the
person sitting against them are becoming familiar.  The cushion has
a separate power amplifier that hooks to any music system. Recently
a popular magazine suggested that sitting upon such a cushion
produced pleasurable sexual sensations.  Teddy bears similarly
equipped are used to lull babies to sleep.
   Hearing aids are available which fit the eyeglass frames to send
vibrating waves through the bone structure at the back of the ear
so that the deaf may hear.  This hearing aid is the result of
miniaturization involving an ultra-small microphone and amplifier.
It contains transducers that transmit vibrations directly into the
body of the person in contact with it.  The whole device fits into
the stem of the eyeglass frame.
   Such microminiaturization in which a microscope has to be used
to etch or photograph a circuit on a silicon chip is relatively
easy for the layperson to grasp.  Not so easy is micromeasurement
and sensing.  One type of light sensor or photosensitive matrix is
a composite of 10,000 minute silicon light sensors on a chip about
a quarter of an inch square.  Reflected light is focused onto the
matrix.  The result pattern of lighted and unlighted sensors is fed
into circuitry for conversion into measurements of area, height,
width, etc., which in turn are converted into a seven digit code.
Field effect transistors calibrate to infinitesimal accuracy.
Small built-in computers convert data into an audio signal or
print.  Recorded data can then be transmitted over ordinary
telephone lines to a computer bank.  Some TVs are equipped with a
decoder to convert sound to print for the deaf.
   Much of the technology that we are now using has been under
development over a long period of time.  The prototype of the
modern mindreader was developed in 1947 and called the Toposcope.
It was similar to twenty-two small television or radar sets.
   Research on the human brain has been made possible by some of
the newer machines.  The Sono Chromoscope is currently being
evaluated at the National Institutes of Health to identify tumors
and abnormalities.  Cheaper than X-ray, it is absolutely safe and
permits continuous recording of tissue at work.  Computer tech-
nology converts one kind of signal into another to produce an
accurate diagnostic color picture of the human interior.  High
frequency sonar is transmitted in blue, while low frequency may be
a red dot.
   NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) tomography can map the progress
of chemicals injected into the brain.  The Gamma Ray camera, con-
sisting of 254 scintillation detectors, each collimated to scan
approximately one square centimeter of brain cortex is connected to
a small digital computer.  This, in turn, is connected to TV where
the blood flow level is shown in specific colors indicating what
areas of the brain are active.
   The whole body can be placed in a magnetic field of 450 gauss
exciting body atoms with radio waves.  Subsequent measurement of
the intensity of the waves emitted over time gives information
about the chemical composition of the subject's tissues.  The time
it takes for the atoms to "relax" after radio wave bombardment
gives some indication of the cell's general nature.  NMR employs no
ionizing radiation and therefore seems safer that conventional
techniques like x-ray.
   The PETT (position electron tracking tomogram) tracks radio-
active chemicals and forms a computerized image, providing the
first direct glimpse of the brain at work, plus a more superior
estimate of its condition than CAT (computer assisted tomography).
The computer reconstructs abstract measurements into images played
out in color on a TV screen.  PETT scan can be photographed or
videotaped while an individual is walking, talking, reading or
thinking.
   FOCUS (flexible optical control unit simulator) projects
hallucinatory images directly on the retina of the eye.  When the
images are projected the subjects show the same bodily responses
that they would by taking a drug.  The subjects cannot tell the
machine images from reality.  FOCUS was developed at UCLA's Neuro-
psychiatric Institute by Ron Siegel, an experimental psychologist,
who eventually hopes to control retrieval of imagery information at
will including that of daydreams, sleep and hallucinations.
   There is a common wiring and a correspondence of chemical and
electrical properties in the human brain.  Fever, delirium,
epilepsy, syphilis, photostimulation, sensory deprivation, extreme
hunger, cold, thirst, crystal gazing, swinging in the witch's
cradle, hypoglycemia and a variety of drug intoxications make the
brain respond in patterns that are definable, predictable and
explainable in terms of where they come from and how they were
produced.  This universal experience is probably what Jung meant by
the collective unconscious and typified by symbols like the
mandala.
   Body functions tend to synchronize around stimuli that match
them in frequency.  Baselines from normal individuals have been
established through measurements with the EEG (electroencephalo-
gram).  The EEG shows brain waves in both periodic and pulse mode.
At normal frequencies, eight to twelve alpha waves occur per
second.  Breathing, heart rate and the rhythm of alpha waves can be
controlled to some extent both by the individual himself and the
external stimuli such as lights and microwaves.
   Radio-scientist Anthony Fraser-Smith has shown that the third
rail of San Francisco's Bay Area Rapid Transit and Washington
D.C.'s Metro expose people up to 160 kilometers away to broadcasts
of ultra-low frequency radiation from ten hertz to .001 hertz.
Studies have shown that human reaction time increases at 0.2 hertz.
These frequencies make people feel drowsy and produce changes in
their blood.
   With this in mind it is easier to comprehend that brain control
by electronic stimulation is possible in much the same way that a
heart pacer is used to regulate the heart beat.  Both seen and
unseen, heard and unheard wave frequencies can affect the brain and
nervous system.
   Some researchers show that theta waves predominate when an
individual is involved in memory storage and learning.  They also
seem to occur in times of reverie, annoyance or anxiety.  Animals
which retain training best, show the highest levels of theta waves
during training.  Ross Adey, however, has shown that he can in-
crease the rate of learning and memory retention in primates and
cats by using a frequency range similar to the alpha and beta waves
of the brain.
   During hypnotism, synchronization of breathing, heartbeat and
alpha waves takes about ten minutes in a willing subject, and is
associated with feelings of well-being.  A simple gadget like a
hypnotism wheel with a special strobe pattern produces a falling
illusion and produces a so-called trance states.  These can also be
produced by sound waves.  Frequency rates of these biological
signals are reduced during a trance-inducing procedure.  As the
mind becomes fixed it becomes more susceptible to suggestion.
Relaxation, resting and sleep are also helpful in inducing a
hypnotic trance.  While hypnosis can be a helpful technique, it is
also part of mind control.
   Other brain waves have individual, identifiable frequencies.
Beta, delta and theta brain waves can be separated in any brain
reading because they all have different frequencies.  Recently an
N400 wave has been identified, so named because it occurs 400
milliseconds after a sentence had been heard in which there is a
high level of expectancy about its completion, and this expectancy
is violated.  The P300 wave occurs in response to a sudden alarm or
flashing light and occurs 300 milliseconds after the stimulus.  A
P300 wave comes not from the cortex, but from the limbic system
where feelings originate and occurs only as an emotional response.
   It is my belief that all these brain waves or electrical signals
can be read at a distance, and that the human brain can be both a
resonating transmitter and receiver.  Further I am saying that I am
being harassed by unknown parties with whom I have been in constant
contact for about three years consciously, and I am not sure how
long before that, while base lines of various kinds were being
established.
   I have chosen a time in our national history to protest that the
National Security Agency is undoubtedly experimenting with some of
its more exotic toys on an unsuspecting civilian population, when
we are in the process of giving back to the CIA and similar agen-
cies some of the powers that had temporarily been taken away from
them due to Watergate.  Our Congress is in disarray, revealed by
the FBI to be both gullible and venal.  Our country's petro-
chemical supply is being threatened by communist, and in the mist
of all this, I come up with the idea that civil liberties and
individual privacy are at stake in ways that seem inconceivable.
Even in the best of times I would have difficulty getting a hearing
for this kind of story.
   Our present electronic laws are constructed to prosecute after
the fact.  There seems to be no successful method of proving
harassment with this type of technology because there is no hard
evidence.  One of the reasons that it is impossible at present to
prove that no one will admit publicly that the possibility exists.
Despite the fact that William Colby mentions it on a TV show and
that a newspaper reporter was thrown out of a meeting in which well
known Ph.D.s from UCLA, MIT, NYU, NASA and ARPA was specifically
discussing a machine to read minds from a distance by deciphering
the brain's magnetic waves and the specific goal of which is to
exercise control over the brain, nobody will admit that it can be
done.  The so-called experts have their jobs and families to
protect.  Security agency employees are bound by secrecy oaths as
are many academicians.  The professors say, "That's an area outside
my expertise."  Paul said, "I am not into lasers."  Very few people
have the kind of education necessary to understand the innate
possibilities and dangers of current technology.
   Anonymous phone calls are something for which we are beginning
to find a cure.  Anonymous broadcasts are something else, espec-
ially if only one person can hear.  This is possible via laser.  It
is so precise that a whole new body of measurement is mandatory and
possible.
   Your most private and intimate bodily routines become forced
performances and are commented on as they unfold.  Your mentally
verbalized fantasies become public property.  You can be questioned
at the subliminal level and started on a whole new train of
thought.  Thus the inserter of the question would have a very good
clue as to what you were thinking about.  You could also be made to
change or modify your course of action, in other words "your mind."
   The worst element in all this is subliminal suggestion with its
inherent capability of conditioning and direct thinking, and
through this control or direction of individual behavior both now
and in the future.  Young and unformed minds are going to be most
susceptible.  The emotionally upset and unstable will be next.
Americans need education and information to defend against this
kind of technocracy.  Most of all they need to be told the truth.
   I can keep silent and avoid embarrassment, ridicule and dis-
belief.  A policeman told me to ignore it.  A security man told me
that my life could be made hell on earth.  The main inventor, a
physicist, told me it was impossible.  The whole thing may be
simply a combination of laser communication and AI, which I doubt.
Regardless of what it is, all Americans can be reached anywhere at
anytime doing anything without attachments and wires.  Communi-
cations have come at least that far.
   Currently on planet Earth stone-age man and spaceman coexist.
We have been coming out of an ancient jungle and have stumbled into
a technological battle zone.  What man imagines he will develop and
continue to develop.
   Although you cannot see them, only sense them, the largest
unseen monsters are unchanged.  They are ignorance, fear and
superstition.  The biggest question for our time is:  How do we
best adapt to this recent step in communications, and at the same
time preserve the values we cherish?
