MIND-CONTROL EXPERIMENTATION

Whither the KGB?


In February 1974, Georgetown University's Center for Strategic and
International Studies (CSIS) hosted discussions on the plight of
dissenters in the Soviet Union, and on a means by which the U.S.
Government might most effectively intervene. highlights of these
discussions are reported in "Understanding the Solzhenitzyn Affair:
Dissent and its Control in the USSR," (CSIS, 1974).

KGB strategies were addressed in some detail during these
discussions. It was noted that the KGB's success depended on the
extensive use of informant networks and agent provocateurs; and,
following Brezhnev's rise to power, on the use of drugs and
psychiatrists for further purpose of manipulation and control.
Shadowing, bugging, slandering, blacklisting and other related
tactics were also cited as serving KGB purpose. Participants in
the conference agreed that the KGB's obvious intent was to divide
and isolate the populace, to spread fear, and to silent dissenters.

Agencies of our own government are on record as having employed
precisely these same tactics on a recurrent basis. The Church and
Rockefeller Committee Hearings in the mid-70's purportedly put an
end to these practices. Based on recent developments, it would
appear that the CIA's and FBI's Operations MKULTRA, MHCHAOS and
COINTELPRO (the focus of these Senate Committee and Vice-President-
level Hearings) were instead merely driven underground. We are now
in contact with a total of 25 individuals, scattered throughout the
United states, who firmly believe they are being harassed by
agencies of the U.S. Government. Others have been brought to our
attention whom we will be contacting in the future. The majority
of these individuals claim that their harassment and surveillance
began in 1989.

The methods reportedly employed in these harassment campaigns bear
a striking resemblance to those attributed to the CIA and FBI
during Operations MKULTRA, MHCHAOS and COINTELPRO. The only
difference now is that electronic harassment and experimentation
also appear to be (more blatantly) involved.

The Berlin Wall is down, Communism is in the midst of a death
rattle, and the KGB no longer poses the threat which purportedly
served to justify the U.S. Government's resort to such operations
as MKULTRA, MHCHAOS and COINTELPRO. The KGB, since 1989, has been
reduced to an increasingly distant memory.

Reactivation of surveillance/harassment/mind-control operations in
this country suggest that the KGB, as an institution, was never the
real threat. A KGB "mentality," which is underlying pragmatic
contempt for civil liberties, appears, instead, to have been the
driving force behind MKULTRA, MHCHAOS and COINTELPRO, and the
operations now being reported to us.

The KGB "mentality" is a matter of personal predilection, not
ideology. Its objective is power and control, regardless of human
cost. It is a corrupting, cancerous influence, which feeds on
fear, conformity and government funding.

Four months ago, when this Project commenced, we approached these
complaints of government harassment and experimentation with an
admitted "high degree of caution." We are no longer skeptical.
The growing numbers of independent complaints and the similarities
between those complaints cannot be ignored. Under the
circumstances, the KGB should be proud of itself. As a
"mentality," the KGB appears to be accomplishing more in "burying
this country" from within, than it could ever have hoped to have
achieved as an institution. It would appear that this country has
a serious problem on its hands which needs to be resolved.

Part I of this report, which is reprinted from the June-July
edition of the association's publication, Unclassified,
preliminarily addresses the complaints brought to our attention as
of July 1992. Our objective, as noted, was to weigh the legitimacy
of those complaints in terms of the directed-energy technologies
reportedly involved. Part II discusses the overt and covert
patterns of harassment identified as a result of our
investigations, to date. A part of our objective, here, is to
limit the success of such operations in the future, by according
them widespread publicity.

In Part II, we do not identify individuals by name, both to honor
their privacy and because our investigations have not been
completed. Part II, like Part I, is a preliminary finding. Our
focus is on the similarities of the complaints being received --
similarities which Federal and State legislators, the courts, the
FBI, local law enforcement agencies, the medical and psychiatric
professions, and organizations such as the ACLU and Amnesty
International have so far chosen to ignore.

We frankly find it curious that more attention and creditability is
being accorded purported victims of UFO experiences and spectral
visitations, than to persons who complain of systematic harassment
and experimentation by the U.S. Government, involving technologies
which the U.S. Government is only now grudgingly admitting to
possess. These complaints require investigation. In due course
(and provided financial support is obtained), we hope to be able to
acquire the technology and supportive medical expertise to
substantiate the claims being made. We also hope to alter the
institutional mindset that U.S. Intelligence can be trusted.
History, repeatedly, has proven otherwise.

PART 1 - THE PROBLEM SURFACES

[Reprinted from the June-July 1992 edition of UNCLASSIFIED (Vol.
IV, No. 3), published by The Association of National Security
Alumni, Washington, D.C.]

The August-September 1991 issue of UNCLASSIFIED reviewed Hamline
University's "Public Administration" report on the resolution of
MKULTRA cases in 1988. Although the shocking details of medical
ethics abuses by the U.S. and Canadian governments were amply
detailed, Washington and Ottawa -- citing national security and
government privilege -- stalled for so long that cases never came
to trial. the surviving victims settled for a pittance in an out-
of-court settlement.

Since no individuals or agencies were held legally accountable, the
door was left open for possible resumption of similar "mind-
control" activities.

In the context of that article, we mentioned briefly that some
half-dozen people had contacted us with appeals for assistance in
ending what they believe to be electronic harassment and mind-
control experimentation, possibly involving the CIA. We decided to
take a closer look at the situation.

We are now in touch with approximately a dozen individuals
throughout the United States who appear to be targets of harassment
and mind-control experimentation involving directed-energy
technologies. [By mid-November 1992, the number had increased to
25.]

Typically, persons who complain of being "zapped by radio waves"
and of "hearing voices" are stigmatized as psychotic, delusional or
schizophrenic. Being mindful of this, as well as aware of the
treatment accorded UFO and psychic phenomena "freaks," we approach
this subject with a high degree of caution. Based on our
preliminary investigation, including interviews with the affected
individuals, we conclude that the matter is serious and should be
pursued further.

??

??

The Existing Directed-Energy Arsenal

Our first step was to determine what, if any technology exists
which might be used for electronic harassment. The information was
found in a "white paper" published in 1991 by the U.S. Global
Strategy Council -- a Washington-based organization, under the
chairmanship of Ray Cline, former Deputy Director of the CIA, who
maintains very close ties with the U.S. Intelligence community.
The "white paper" describes the foreign and domestic uses foreseen
for laser weapons, isotropic radiators, infrasound, non-nuclear
electromagnetic pulse generators, and high-powered microwave
emitters.

The term, "non-lethal," used to describe this technology is
misleading. the energy emitted from all of these weapons can kill
people when appropriately amplified. At lower levels of amplified,
they can cause extreme forms of physical discomfort and
debilitation.

The Department of the Army (DA) identifies these same weapons as
"non-conventional." They were so identified in an exhibit at a DA-
sponsored symposium on "The Soldier As A System," in Crystal City,
VA, on June 30, 1992. Beta wave incapacitators were separately
mentioned during the symposium as being particular interested to
the U.S. Marine Corps.

We discussed these "non-conventional" directed-energy weapons with
Mr. Vernon Shisler, manager of the exhibit and the Army's delegate
to NATO in matters pertaining to "The Soldier As A System." Mr.
Shisler acknowledged not only that directed-energy weapons are in
the Dod's arsenal, but also that the American soldier will remain
vulnerable to their effects, should they be employed in the
battlefield.

The U.S. Global Strategy Council recognizes the issue of
vulnerability, as well, and urges ongoing research into effective
countermeasures.

Interested readers may want to send for the U.S. Global Strategy
Council's complete project proposal on this subject: (Title:
Nonlethality: Development of a National Policy and Employing
Nonlethal Means in a New Strategic Era, prepared by Janet Morris).
A number of references in this Proposal to unidentified, elusive
"enemies" of the U.S. Government and the potential domestic
applications of this "non-lethal" technology invite serious
consideration by the public at large.

The Council's address is 1800 K Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
20006, (202) 466-6029.

BIOEFFECTS OF MICROWAVE RADIATION

Research into biological and psychological effects of exposure to
microwave radiation is voluminous. The U.S. public has been led to
believe that the former Soviet Union leads in this research. The
fact is, the CIA and DoD [Department of Defense] have jointly
pursued precisely the same research since commencement of Project
Pandora in the 1950's. The current primary users of this research
appear to be the CIA, DoD, the National Security Agency (NSA) and
the Department of Energy (DoE).

The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) has participated
in this research since Project Pandora. In 1973, WRAIR discovered
that externally-induced auditory input could be achieved by means
of pulsed microwave audiograms, or analogs of spoken words' sounds.
The effect on the receiving end is the (schizophrenic) sensation of
"hearing voices" which are no part of the recipients' own thought
processes.

The experiment prompted the following comment in "The Body
Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life," by Robert
O. Becker, M.D., and Gary Selden (Wm. Morrow & Company, NY, 1985):
"Such a device has obvious applications in covert operations
designed to drive a target crazy with 'voices' or deliver
undetected instructions to a programmed assassin."

This research has continued, and the results are published in
various publicly available scientific and technical journals.
Interested readers might consult, for example: Lin, James C.,
Electromagnetic Interaction With Biological Systems (Plenum Press,
NY, 1989). Professor Lin, then with the Department of
Bioengineering, University of Illinois, Chicago, has published a
number of books and articles on this subject. [He has more recently
informed us that he had designed the experiment referred above in
Dr. Becker's book.]

WRAIR has more recently been studying the biological effects of
exposure to high power microwave radiation. WRAIR presented a
paper on this subject to a DoD-sponsored symposium on "MW
[microwave] Weapons" at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey,
CA, in mid-1989.

A matter of interest to us is why WRAIR should be experimenting
with auditory effects of pulsed microwave audiograms. Also, recent
statements by an Army psychiatrist assigned to the Walter Reed Army
Medical Center (WRAMC) suggest that WRAIR may be experimenting upon
select psychiatric inpatients with microwaves. This, too, is a
matter to us.

CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT

The Government's past record of abuses in the area of civil rights
is well documented. Within the past 30 years alone, we have
witnessed the effects of Operations MKULTRA, MHCHAOS and
COINTELPRO.

Primarily because of MKULTRA, MHCHAOS and COINTELPRO, Executive
Orders and implementing regulations were published which prohibited
military and CIA domestic covert intelligence operations.
Experiments on involuntary human subjects, and the surveillance
of/collection of personal information on U.S. citizens, except
under strictly regulated conditions were also prohibited.

Congressional committees were created to oversee compliance with
these (quasi-) legal prohibitions. We have evidence that this is
not being done. Moreover, where there are laws and, in this case,
no laws enacted, there are loopholes, as well as individual and
institutions who deliberately capitalize upon the existence of
loopholes. Iran-Contra is one of the more blatant recent examples.
Loopholes are also found in government resort to "black"
intelligence and weapons programs, in the use of contractors, and in
the absence of clear definitions of such terms as "national
security" and "national security risk."

Executive Orders and regulations which currently limit U.S.
Intelligence activities do not extend to non-intelligence
government agencies or to their contractors. If fact, Executive
Order 12333 specifies that government contractors do not need to
know that their services support U.S. Intelligence objectives.

In its report of July 8, 1992, the Senate Subcommittee on Oversight
of Government Management addresses the problem of tracking funds
granted to government-contracted research and development (R&D)
centers. The report notes that the problem is compounded by DoD's
penchant for creating hard-to-monitor "shell" contractors as
disbursement centers for funding programs.

Neither shell contractors nor their subcontractors are directly
accountable to Congress. Being beyond Congressional oversight,
they have the license to operate as Government surrogates in
intelligence operations about which, "officially" they know
nothing.

In this context, a publication disseminated at DA's "The Soldier As
A System" symposium noted that the Army's Research and Technology
Program sponsors 42 laboratories and R & D centers, employing
approximately 10,000 scientists and engineers. The annual budget
of $1.3 billion is only a small part of overall DoD research
spending.

Weapons research, which includes the development and testing of
"non-lethal" weapons, is not governed by laws restricting the
activities of U.S. Intelligence agencies, though it may be presumed
that these agencies contribute to and benefit from such research.

??

??

PRELIMINARY FINDINGS


1. The technology exists for the types of harassment and
experimentation reported to us.

2. About a dozen U.S. citizens have informed us of continuing
experiments with effects which directed-energy weapons are
designed to produce.

3. U.S. Government-sponsored research into the bioeffects of
exposure to microwave radiation is extensive and
continuing.

4. The U.S. Government has a past record of having engaged in
mind-control experimentation; and various agencies of the
Government have a record of circumventing legal
restrictions upon their activities.

5. Neither Congress nor the courts appear willing to look
closely into "black" intelligence and weapons procurement
programs.

6. A number of U.S. Government agencies might have interest
in testing directed-energy technologies on U.S. citizens
under non-clinical/non-controlled circumstances -- DoD, to
test ranges and degrees of "non-lethality"; DoE, to
explore "safety" limits; CIA, to test "mind-control"
capabilities, and NSA, for technological refinement.

PART II -- OVERT AND COVERT HARASSMENT

Since publication of the preceding article less than four months
ago, the association of National Security Alumni/Electronic
Surveillance Project has heard from an additional 13 individuals
who report both overt harassment and a range of symptoms which
coincide with the known effects of exposure to microwaves,
electromagnetic/radio frequency (RF) radiation and/or infrasound.

The similarity of these symptoms will be addressed in greater
detail in future Project reports. Suffice it to say, at this point,
that the physical and psychological symptoms being reported to us
are consistent with the effects which directed-energy weapons are
designed to produce. Indeed, the numerous afflictions (or
"inflictions") being reported appear to parallel standard torture
"sequelae,"(1) (aftereffects).

??

??

OVERT HARASSMENT

Overt Harassment -- which obviously is meant to be observed -- may
be intended to "precondition" individuals for eventual long-term
electronic harassment. Persons terrified by unexplained overt
harassment are not likely to cope with the sudden onset of
electronic harassment in any more reasoned fashion. This phased
pattern of harassment is apparent in all of the cases now being
investigated. The fact that the overt harassment continues in
these cases even after the electronic targeting commences suggest
that the objective is to maintain long-term extremes of stress.

Many of the overt harassment tactics discussed below are surfacing
in cases which (so far) have not involved discernible forms of
electronic harassment. These are cases involving so-called
"whistleblowers" who, because of their inside knowledge of certain
potentially newsworthy events, pose particular threats of
embarrassment to the Government or to government-affiliated
employers. We have noticed that electronic harassment is beginning
to surface as a form of retaliation against persons who try to
assist electronic "harassees." Retaliation suggest loss of
control. Under these circumstances, we are not entirely confident
that "whistleblowers" will continue to be exempted from this type
of harassment in the long term.

The individuals now in touch with the Project describe their
circumstances as involving most, if not all, of the following overt
forms of harassment:

* Sudden, bizarrely-rude treatment, isolation and acts of
harassment and vandalism by formerly friendly neighbors.

* Harassing telephone calls, which continue even after the
targeted individual obtains new, unlisted telephone
numbers.

* Mail interception, theft and tampering.

* Noise campaigns.

While unrelenting harassing telephone calls might be considered in
this context, other tactics are employed. Blaring horns, whistles,
sirens, garbage disposal (run concurrently in apartment settings,
for excessively prolonged periods of time), and amplified
transmissions of recorded "general racket" have been used on a
recurrent basis under circumstances intended to persuade the
individual that he or she is under surveillance.

In all of these cases, the individuals' neighbors apparently
pretend to be oblivious and/or indifferent to these sudden,
continuous explosions of noise.

Door slamming is also a popular pastime, particularly in apartment
buildings. One individual reported that, during a peak period of
harassment, the neighbor across the hall began entering and leaving
his apartment every 10 minutes, slamming his door loudly on each
occasion. This was a daily occurrence, encompassing periods of
several hours, over a period of several months. It is apparently
served to trigger a door-slamming "chain reaction" on the part of
neighbors both on that floor and on the floors immediately above
and below. When our contact politely asked her immediate neighbor
to close her door more quietly, he slammed the door in her face.
Prior to commencement of this harassment, the neighbor had
apparently been quite friendly and courteous.

In another case, the primary door-slammer is an employee of Radix
Systems, Inc., Rockville, MD, a DoD contractor engaged in the
"super-secret" research and development of some type of electronic
equipment.

Several individuals reported recurrent, loud, strange noises in
their ventilation systems during the preliminary stages of their
harassment. One individual complained of being recurrently
awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of wires being fed
into his (independent) ventilation system. On checking further, he
found that a tubular construction had been built into his vent
system which appears to lead to the apartment upstairs. His
upstairs neighbor is employed by the Department of Justice.

A number of individuals report that occupants of upstairs and
downstairs apartments appear to follow them from room to room,
tapping on the floor or engaging in other activities which appear
intended to advertise an ongoing surveillance.

The Justice Department employee mentioned above went as far as to
offer an unsolicited apology to her downstairs neighbor for an all-
night "pacing about" in her bedroom (in the event he had happened
to notice it). She claimed to be an insomniac. The pacing-about
continued during her recent 36-hour absence from the area. When
her contact politely alerted her to the fact that her apartment had
apparently been entered during her absence, she told him, in
effect, to mind his own business and then immediately complained to
the building manager that he was stalking her.

She conveniently forgot to inform the building manager that she had
assiduously "courted" this individual for several months, without
success; and that she had been stealing his newspapers on a regular
basis. (On one occasion, she handed him a week's accumulation of
those papers, claiming that they had been left outside the door of
another apartment. Her reason for collecting and saving the
newspapers which had not been delivered to her directly is
unknown.)

* Recurrent confrontations by unusually hostile strangers;
and comments by strangers which appear intended to evoke
"paranoid" reactions.

In this context, we note that several individuals have reported
confrontations with "homeless" people who, on closer examination,
were found to be fastidiously clean, though garbed in offbeat
fashion (wigs included). The same "eccentric" confronted two of
the individuals in contact with us, at separate distant locations.
He is reported as having feigned mental illness on both occasions,
and as having apparently enjoyed creating a public scene.

* Entries into the individual's residence, during late-night
hours while he/she is sleeping, and/or during the day when
the individual is elsewhere.

In virtually all such cases, the burglars leave evidence of their
visits, such as relocating objects, or by committing petty and not-
so=petty acts of vandalism. In two cases, the burglar's "calling
card" was to slaughter caged pets, leaving the mangled carcasses
inside their locked cages.

In one case, the burglar stole several pieces of correspondence and
left a packet of crack cocaine behind as a "calling card." Our
contact in this case -- an individual who has no criminal record
and no history of experimentation with drugs -- is also being
harassed (stalked) by a police officer of her community. One of
his recent acts was to "frame" her with a drug possession charge.
After pulling her off the road (a frequent pastime) and subjecting
her to an illegal search (done, twice, so far), he conveniently
managed to find a glassine packet of cocaine eight feet away, in
front of his squad car. He retrieved the packet with his fingers
and then charged her with Possession. Our contact found the packet
of crack cocaine in her apartment shortly after this investigator
reminded the attorney handling her case that the police officer had
smudged his only piece of evidence with his own fingerprints. It
would appear that someone is interested in correcting that police
officer's oversight.

In another case, the individual reports that a tremendous amount of
money has been stolen from a hiding place in her apartment, within
hours after she had withdrawn the money from her bank. There was
no obvious signs of entry into her apartment. The police conducted
a cursory inquiry which failed to produce evidence of a crime
worthy of investigation. (This case is an anomaly. Money is
usually not stolen. Documents appear to be the preferred objects
of theft, when theft occur.)

In another case, the burglars replaced installed lightbulbs with
"exploding" bulbs, many of which were 'Made in Hungary.' The
lightbulbs are now in our possession.

* Rapidly deteriorating health, generally of a digestive
nature.

In two cases of the cases reported, massive rectal bleeding
accompanied the sudden onset of sever gastrointestinal
disturbances. One of these individuals abruptly terminated the
deteriorative process simply by changing the locks on her door.

* Sleep disruption/deprivation

This is achieved by means of overt and electronic harassment.
Sleep deprivation, as a tactic, invariably surfaces when the
targeted individual begins exhibiting a strong emotional and
irrational response to the other forms of harassment.

* Vandalism of privately-owned vehicles

Vehicles invite peculiarly ferocious attacks in these harassment
campaigns -- slashed tires, smashed windows, oil drainage, oil
contamination, destruction of electronic components and batteries
(frequently involving wildly fluctuating, grounded fuel gages,
often within range of weapons research facilities and/or other
microwave emitters); and suddenly failed brakes and clutches
(possible involving anti-traction polymers, which are also in DoD's
"non-lethal" weapons arsenal). Recurrent auto thefts have also
been reported.

Two individuals reported finding their oil contaminated immediately
after having the oil changed by reputable mechanics. In one of
these cases, the oil viscosified (thickened) while the individual
was driving through a remote rural area. Her car ground to a halt.
Getting the "gunk" cleaned out of her engine proved to be an
expensive ordeal. (Viscosification agents are also lauded by the
U.S. Global Strategy Council as serving "non-lethal" strategic
purposes -- a topic discussed in Part I of this publication. Had
this woman been assaulted while awaiting help in the said isolated
area, the "non-lethal" attributes of viscosfication agents might
have required redefinition.)

Most of those who have experienced these attacks on a recurring
basis have abandoned driving all together -- an objective
apparently sought by their tormentors as a means of increasing
their isolation.

* Staged accidents. (In kgb lingo: Street Theatre--recruited at
churches--bikers---b.)

The majority of those in touch with us have reported these types of
experiences. One individual, for example, was tailgated at a high
rate of speed by two vehicles, while concurrently being threatened
with a gun by one of the vehicles' occupants. Two others narrowly
avoided what happened to be deliberately attempted collisions by
drivers who quickly sped away from the scene. One avoided three
attempts in four days at being run off the road. One survived by
being run off the road in two incidents within a one-week period,
which resulted in "totaling" of her two vehicles. Another narrowly
avoided being crushed into an expressway retaining wall, on four
occasions, by an off-duty metro bus, as well as, within the same
time frame, being "fried" by two suddenly-malfunctioned household
appliances which subsequently repaired themselves. It should be
noted that, in some of these cases, "accidental" deaths do occur.
One individual in contact with us reported that his mother drove
off a cliff to her death, during a period when he was researching
evidence that a still-respected, high level State Department
official had passed A-bomb secrets to the Soviet Government during
World War II. The accident occurred shortly after her car had
undergone routine maintenance. She was returning from a dental
appointment when the accident occurred. Witnesses state that it
appeared that she had suddenly stepped on the accelerator before
running off the road. The accident served to terminate this
person's research project.

We also look into the recent death of a woman in Lexington, MO, who
was killed when the brakes on her tractor failed. We are informed
that she had been collecting affidavits from persons who believe
they are the targets of government harassment and experimentation
when her "accident" occurred. We are also informed that these
affidavits have disappeared.

Suicides might also qualify as "staged accidents,"particularly
where "plausibly deniable" government involvement has been
surfaced. We are currently looking into the recent suicide of a
man in Trappe, PA, who, as early as 1981, had asked the FBI and CIA
to intervene in his case. We have copies of that early
correspondence. The man, a former U.S. Army radar technician, had
a highly technical and -- given date of his correspondence --
"precocious" grasp of the experimental objectives apparently being
sought in his case. It is apparent from his correspondence that he
had wanted to believe that the Soviets were conducting these
experiments. The FBI and CIA, of course, did not intervene. We
are informed that members of his family have also been targets of
this experimentation.

* Isolation of the individual from members of his/her family
-- virtually assured when highly focused forms of
electronic harassment commence.

The exception to this is when elderly parents and young children in
the family become targets for apparent purposes of intimidation.
This situation has been reported in eight of our cases, to date.

One individual (driven to extremes of stress by ongoing electronic
harassment focusing on her children) killed one child in an effort
to protect her from further pain.(2) It appears that lasers were
being used in this individual's case. The targeting intensified
after she called the Soviet Embassy to report the harassment, which
she believed to be U.S. Government-sponsored. It became even more
deadly when, in a further show of defiance, she then called the
representative of the Iraqi Government to portray the U.S.
Government's war in the Middle East as "hypocritical." She is now
hospitalized in a midwestern facility, where, apparently, the
experimentation is now continuing.

(That psychiatric facility is in a State where a disproportionate
number of complaints of electronic harassment...
