The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by
federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is
ever present—and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding
scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must
also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy
could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

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 agents
provocateurs; and, following Brezhnev’s rise to power, on the use of
drugs and psychiatrists for further purposes of manipulation and control.
Shadowing, bugging, slandering, blacklisting and other related tactics were
also cited as serving KGB purposes. Participants in the conference agreed that
the KGB’s obvious intent was to divide and isolate the populace, to spread
fear, and to silence 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-1970’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-Presidential-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 suggests that
the KGB, as an institution, was never the real threat. A KGB “mentality,”
with its 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 1992 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 credibility 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.
[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 the 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 this situation.
We are now in touch with approximately a
dozen individuals located throughout the United States who appear to be
targets of harassment and mind-control experimentation involving
directed-energy technologies. [By mid-November 1992, that 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.
Our first step was to determine what, if any technology exists which
might be used for electronic harassment. That 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-power microwave
emitters.
The term, “non-lethal,” used to describe
this technology is misleading. The energy emitted from all of these weapons
can kill when appropriately amplified. At lower levels of amplification, they
can cause extreme forms of physical discomfort and debilitation.
The Department of 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 of particular interest 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 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 to 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.
Research into the 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 not 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 undetectable 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 referenced 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 of
interest to us.
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 official U.S. Intelligence activities do not extend to
non-intelligence government agencies or to their contractors. In 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 experiences 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. |
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—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 suggests 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 suggests loss of control. Under the 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 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 his door more quietly, he slammed the door in
her face. Prior to commencement of this harassment, that 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 so far as to offer an unsolicited apology to her downstairs
neighbor for the all-night “pacing about” in her bedroom (in the event he
had happened to notice it). She claimed to be an insomniac. That pacing-about
continued during her recent 36-hour absence from the area. When our 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 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 by 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 in 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 had been stolen from a hiding place in her
apartment, within hours after she had withdrawn the money from her bank. There
were 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 not usually stolen.
Documents appear to be the preferred objects of theft, when thefts 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 severe 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 both 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 (possibly 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 viscosification 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.
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 appeared 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 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 are also currently looking 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
those 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
the 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 immediate 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 psychiatric facility, where, apparently, the experimentation is now
continuing.
(That psychiatric facility is in a State
where a disproportionate number of complaints of electronic harassment are
beginning to surface. It is also within range of a U.S. Air Force base which
houses a “super secret” research facility. We are currently looking into
information that spouses and children of persons employed on that USAF base
may be the targets of involuntary experimentation involving directed-energy
weapons technologies.)
Another individual, during a telephone
conversation, was told by an employee of a local power company that, if she
valued the lives of her children, she would drop her public opposition to the
company’s installation of high power lines. Since receiving that threat, the
individual’s 11-year-old daughter has been reduced to extremes of pain,
resulting in her recurrent hospitalization for treatment of illnesses which
cannot be diagnosed. It is now also apparent to this individual that her
three-year-old son is on the receiving end of externally-induced auditory
input. (DoE figures prominently in this case.)
·
Progressive financial
impoverishment, brought on by termination of the individual’s employment,
and compounded by expenses associated with the harassment.
The majority of those now in contact with the Project—educated,
white-collar professionals—have lost their jobs. Termination of employment
in many of these cases involved prefatory harassment by the employer and
co-workers, which coincided with the other overt forms of harassment discussed
above.
The overt harassment tactics are being
described as recurrent, non-sequential and overlapping. As noted above, the
overt harassment continues even after the electronic harassment commences.
Those individuals who have tried to resolve their respective situations
through resort to “establishment” channels have invariably encountered the
following:
·
Apathy, indifference
and/or professed helplessness on the part of members of Congress and state
legislators.
·
Dismissal and/or
attempted discrediting by psychiatrists who refuse to include the terms,
“government harassment,” “mind-control experimentation” and
“torture” in their vocabulary.
Several individuals, thinking that psychiatrists might help to
alleviate the extreme stress associated with their harassment, were accorded
“treatment” which clearly pointed to cooperation between their
psychiatrists and members of the U.S. Intelligence community. One such
psychiatrist, in fact, bragged about being a member of the U.S. Intelligence
“inner circle,” informing our contact that her harassment was a
“Pavlovian Experiment,” intended to “break” her.
·
Lack of interest,
courage and/or competency in legal circles.
Few of those in contact with us have been able to acquire legal
assistance—not helped by their straitened financial circumstances. Most have
found that few attorneys are willing to risk their careers by pursuing cases
involving what is believed to be government-sponsored harassment and
experimentation.
A few attorneys reportedly engaged in
egregious violations of codes of professional conduct, in what appear to have
been deliberate efforts at sabotaging our contacts’ cases. Subsequent
attempts by two individuals at obtaining legal redress were met with
stonewalling, obstruction, and high-level denials of wrongdoing.
·
Refusal of the mass
media to address this topic, except in those cases where suspected
experimentees have been driven to the
point of committing murder or suicide.
Such cases (particularly where an individual has claimed to be the
victim of CIA-directed mind-control involving auditory input) are treated by
the press as “curiosities.” An example of this is the individual who shot
a Navy officer outside the Pentagon in mid-1991.[3]
He claimed to be a victim of CIA mind control, involving auditory input.
According to the press, “he worried ‘about being run over by
trains’...” (ref. incident described in following paragraph). He is now
permanently residing in a psychiatric facility. He, being institutionalized,
and others in the preliminary stages of his predicament are no longer of
interest to the media.
Another recent case which received
short-lived press attention[4]
involved a woman diagnosed as having “suffered from periods of confusion”
who climbed over a fence onto a railroad track and walked into an oncoming
train. Because the incident occurred in a community in which an unusually
large number of these mind-control experiments have been reported, we are
looking into the situation. The woman was reportedly “under a physician’s
care” because of her “periods of confusion.” A family member described
the physician to this investigator as “a psychiatrist.” We find that the
alleged “psychiatrist” is a General Practitioner, otherwise
non-accredited, practicing out of his home. We find also that the suicide may
have been witnessed under peculiarly-timed circumstances by an alleged
“homeless” person who has since disappeared. Needless to say, our interest
has been whetted.
·
Refusal and/or
inability of local police to intervene.
The tendency of local police is to dismiss an individual’s complaints
of government harassment as the ravings of a “fruitcake.” In one case,
discussed above, it is apparent that one police officer is actively
cooperating in the harassment. Some police agencies, while acknowledging the
reality of the situation, hesitate to intervene in cases involving what they
believe to be U.S. Intelligence. On a few occasions, certain police officials
did attempt to intervene, based on what they perceived to be evidence of a
systematic harassment/illegal surveillance campaign. Absent a clear mandate to
prosecute “stalkers” acting under the aegis of U.S. Intelligence, the
police obviously had their hands tied.
·
Refusal of the FBI to
intervene in any of the cases brought to our attention thus far.
FBI spokesmen do acknowledge that they have received a large number of
requests for assistance from “mentally disturbed persons” who believe that
they are being “zapped by radio waves” and/or “are hearing voices...”
“from Mars, that is.”
In one case, an FBI spokesman reacted in an
angry, defensive and bizarre fashion when our contact briefly alluded to
PROJECT SLAMMER as possibly being related to her surveillance. (PROJECT
SLAMMER is a CIA-funded study, managed by CIA and FBI behavioral scientist,
which explores the “mental make-up” of alleged security risks, along with
their family members and close associates. Participants in PROJECT SLAMMER
include NSA, DIA, and Army, Navy and Air Force Intelligence.)
Until PROJECT SLAMMER was mentioned, the FBI
spokesman’s approach in this case was to politely and redundantly explain
that the law, as currently constructed, prevents the FBI’s intervening in
this individual’s case. When she briefly pointed out that the surveillance
activities might fall under the purview of PROJECT SLAMMER, the spokesman’s
response was to abruptly and angrily declaim, “You
don’t know who is conducting that surveillance! You
don’t know if that is a state police surveillance! ...or a local police
surveillance! It could be a totally unrelated operation! You
don’t know who is conducting that surveillance! [etc., etc.]!”
It was apparent from this response that the
FBI was at least acknowledging the existence of a surveillance, if in somewhat
emotional fashion. The individual in question subsequently furnished acquired
evidence to the local police, who made it clear that they are not participants
in the surveillance which, based on the evidence, pointedly suggest that our
contact is the target.
·
Refusal or inability of
the ACLU and Amnesty International to intervene.
Both organizations acknowledge receiving many complaints from persons
claiming to be the targets of some type of electronic harassment. An ACLU
spokes-woman characterized the complaints as appearing to be rational, except
in a few cases. The complaints are not being investigated, she said, because
of “limited resources.” We have to wonder, of course, why the ACLU could
recently find resources to defend the rights of prostitutes and the Ku Klux
Klan, yet remains incapable of intervening in cases such as we are now
pursuing.
Amnesty International recently informed one
of our contacts that they could not intervene in her case because their focus
is on the U.S. Government’s treatment of prison inmates. While incarceration
does appear to be one sought-for objective in these harassment/mind control
experiments, we would like to think that protections by such organizations as
Amnesty International can be achieved beforehand.
The persons engaged in this harassment tend to become careless,
possibly the result of arrogance born of an assumption that nobody can stop
them. “Harassees” who have noted this carelessness have furnished us with
the following insights into the covert side of these harassment activities.
·
Impersonation of
military officers.
One individual found that her next-door neighbor had claimed to be a
military intelligence officer, assigned to a space technology unit in
California, on year-long “TDY” (temporary duty) in the individual’s
apartment building. It was subsequently determined that this alleged officer
is not in fact a member of the U.S. Armed Forces; and that he had used this
bogus status to acquire information from a major defense contractor. Our
contact is certain that this person’s apartment was used as a base of
harassment operations.
·
Use of concealment
devices, and emitters detected to date.
Several individuals and supportive associates report having seen some
of the electronic devices being used in these harassment campaigns.
One saw electronic equipment concealed inside
a false-front upright piano being moved out of her apartment building. She had
previously noted that all of her surrounding neighbors had identical upright
pianos in their apartments, not one of which was ever played.
Other suspected participants in the
harassment may be concealing devices in oversized stereo speakers, measuring
approximately 5' in height x 3' x 3'. Several of our contacts have noted the
presence of such speakers in adjacent dwellings.
One individual was told by a resident of her
building that her upstairs neighbor has “microwave ovens” in his bedroom
and livingroom, but none in the kitchen.
Another individual, while standing outside,
looked into her neighbor’s window to find that her bedroom appeared to be
the target of a gray-colored, elongated box-like device, measuring
approximately 1' in length x 5" in height (side view). A large,
black-framed lens protruded from the end facing her window. The electrical
cord, if any, was not visible from that vantage point. The equipment was being
operated by a stranger in a three-piece suit, who appeared to be quite
startled to find that he was being observed.
Another was given strong reason to believe
that portable emitters are being concealed in oversized, extremely heavy,
sometimes expandable “briefcases” for use in places of public assembly,
such as meeting halls, auditoriums and restaurants. Smaller varieties are
apparently being used on aircraft.
On one 3-hour flight, our contact noticed
that the man sitting next to her seemed peculiarly intent on keeping the
attaché case on his lap propped open with his fingertips, while he gazed
“blankly” into the distance during the entire flight. She believed that
she was being electronically harassed while on the flight (a common complaint,
in most of the cases now being investigated).
Our contact reports that, when they prepared
to land, the man opened his attaché case to hastily check its contents, thus
disclosing the presence of a raised, built-in “concealment device”
covering the entire bottom surface of the attaché case. The low-slung,
lift-off cover did not appear to be capable of concealing a laptop computer.
At one point during the flight —apparently aware that his “reverie” was
inviting attention, —the man devoted approximately ten minutes to scribbling
assorted entries on a sheet of lined paper, which he had placed on top of his
briefcase two hours previously. He devoted roughly ten minutes to the effort
(obviously preferring a pen to a laptop computer). His attaché case remained
ajar during this process.[5]
One individual reports that mobile emitters
may be installed in certain oversized, non-attributable medical emergency
vehicles, possibly for eventual use in civil disturbances. Her unsuccessful
attempts at following the “medical emergency” vehicle which had surfaced
in her case ended with a high-speed chase.
The phony military intelligence officer, when
recently moving out of our contact’s apartment building, was found to
possess a device which resembles an oversized microwave oven, measuring
approximately 4' in width x 2' in height x 2 1/2' in depth. A subsequent
examination of his apartment revealed that he had tapped numerous additional
lines into existing, in-house telephone and TV cables; and that he had gone to
great pains to conceal a major excavation into one wall abutting the
“harassee’s.” Judging from photographs taken immediately after this
person’s departure, the wiring suggests that he was hooked by modem into a
computer network, and that at least some of his electronic equipment was
situated in a large walk-in closet, again abutting the “harassee’s.”
When the alleged officer moved out, his
equipment (except for the oversized “microwave oven”) was packaged in
boxes identifying the contents only as stereo components. During his year-long
residency in this building, no sounds emanated from his apartment to indicate
use of this “stereo” equipment.
·
Use of modified license
plates and vehicle look-alikes.
Some individuals have noted that their neighbors’ vehicles are
periodically replaced (during peak periods of harassment) by others which
qualify as “rough look-alikes.” The tags on these latter closely resemble
those on the homeowners’ vehicles, with a difference being noted in only one
digit or one letter. These modified plates appear to have been acquired
through State DMV channels, thus suggesting government/intelligence agency
involvement.
In one case, where the individual has
obtained police assistance, tracking of one plate surfaced evidence of a drug
connection. That plate rapidly disappeared from the vehicle in question, to be
replaced by another, again bearing a one-letter modification.
·
Use of neighbors’
residences as bases of operation and training.
One individual recently saw a team of “technicians” in the house
behind hers—a consequence of the team’s failure to close the curtains
and/or dim lighting when puttering around in the kitchen at 5:00 in the
morning. The three men (strangers to this individual, all stripped down to
their T-shirts) behaved as if they were unaware that they were being watched.
Their observer had long suspected that this house was being used as a base of
electronic harassment operations. The harassment had been ongoing throughout
the night.
To provoke a response from these men, the
individual eventually commented aloud on their activities. They responded
immediately by turning the lights off and switching to the use of flashlights.
Why they failed to close the curtains is unknown.
This individual is working with the police in
an effort at ending this surveillance and harassment, with mixed results.
*
* *
Another individual, paying a surprise visit to the apartment upstairs,
overheard one of her own telephone conversations being played on a tape
recorder inside that apartment. Lacking both a legitimate pretext to enter the
apartment and the support of the building’s management personnel and/or the
police, she was prevented from pursuing this further. Her upstairs neighbor is
purportedly employed by Stanford University Hospital, in Stanford, CA.
The target of surveillance and harassment in
this case is still also trying to
recover from the effects of exposure to potentially lethal doses of radiation,
administered in the 1970’s by a dangerously “incompetent” dentist. This
might explain the involvement of alleged Stanford University Hospital
personnel in her situation.
The government is on record as having
experimented on unwitting U.S. citizens with radioactive materials during the
1970’s (and earlier).[6]
The House Subcommittee on Energy and Commerce based their investigation into
this matter on a 30-year accumulation of documents maintained by the
Department of Energy. Under the circumstances, it will come as no surprise if
it is ultimately found that DoE has been involved in this woman’s
surveillance and harassment.
*
* *
Another individual paid a surprise visit to the apartment immediately
beneath hers, in an attempt to identify the source of a tremendous racket in
her ventilation system. Standing outside the door, she could hear an
individual moving around, a short distance from the door. She also heard the
sound of rustling paper and the steady, sonar-like “pinging” of some type
of electronic device. In response to her repeated knockings on the door, the
person inside simply stopped moving about. The sound of rustling paper
(perhaps a printout of some type) and the steady “...pin-ng! ...pin-ng!”
sound continued. The occupant of this apartment resumed moving about only
after it was (incorrectly) believed that our contact had departed the area.
Typically, this situation could not be pursued further.
*
* *
All of those who live in apartment buildings report unusual patterns of
occupancy in the apartments surrounding their own; i.e., upstairs, downstairs
and on all sides. They have become quite convinced—if only because of the
highly focused nature of the symptoms being experienced—that these
surrounding apartments are being used as bases of operation. Perhaps this
encirclement facilitates studies of holographic human telemetries; or perhaps
it is intended to increase the prospect of brain entrainment by electronic
means (“entrainment” being one published objective sought in mind control
experiments).[7]
In examining this situation more closely, a
number of individuals have found that surrounding apartments are either
permanently vacant, for unknown reasons, or that they have been “sub-let”
by the original occupants to persons who are purportedly unknown to the
buildings’ management personnel. In one case, the surrounding renters all
list two residences in the local telephone book. Not one lives in the
apartment building in question, though the address is identified as one of the
renters’ places of residence. One individual suspects that the original
occupants of apartments surrounding hers have simply been relocated to other
apartments in the same (large) building. Another suspects that an adjacent
apartment, which has been permanently rented to the U.S. Government for use by
“visitors” is also being used as a base of operations.
One individual found that an immediate
neighbor’s housemate has the same (unusual) name of a university professor
who has engaged in extensive research on behalf of the government, studying
the bioeffects of exposure to microwave radiation.
·
Use of informants/agents
provocateurs, frequently members of the opposite sex.
As noted in the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Interior and
Insular Affair’s draft report, Alyeska
Pipeline Service Company Covert Operation (July 1992), the Wackenhut
Corporation’s Special Investigations Division adopted this tactic when
pursuing Alyeska’s critics.
A number of individuals in touch with us
report a range of experiences with new “friends” who—apparently posing
as confidants—used acquired personalia to abruptly end these
“friendships” under deliberately degrading and humiliating circumstances.
When taken in the context of the ongoing surveillances and harassment, these
exercises appear intended to heighten emotional trauma, perhaps to provoke an
uncontrolled response and/or to enforce isolation.
·
Misuse of covert
intelligence personnel (possible former case officers).
One individual, while under contract to the U.S. Government, properly
reported what he believed to be an approach by a hostile intelligence service.
Within a few weeks, alleged U.S. Intelligence officers contacted this
individual. In addition to questioning him about his background, these alleged
intelligence officers asked that he keep in constant touch with them,
particularly when planning to travel.
It soon became apparent that the alleged
intelligence officers were intent only on forcing this individual to report to
them as directed, and to account for his activities. He was not asked to
assist the U.S. Government in any form of intelligence operation; he was not
asked to execute any form of secrecy affirmation statement acknowledging the
classified nature of these meetings; nor was he told why these
meetings—involving a total of seven alleged case officers—were necessary.
When he began to balk at a continuation of
this process, one of his “handlers” conveyed a threat, suggesting that his
continued compliance might be “enforced.” Finally, when this individual
adamantly refused to cooperate further, massive overt harassment commenced and
is currently ongoing.
The operation (clearly intended to bully this
individual into submissive compliance for purposes which are still unknown)
involved crude tactics formerly prized by the KGB.
Whether or not legitimate U.S. Intelligence
case officers were involved in this activity remains to be determined. Some
private firms retain former U.S. Intelligence case officers for contracting
out as “security specialist.” The founder and CEO of one such firm (Gerald
P. Burke, The Parvus Company, Silver Spring, MD) has informed us that the
activities of contract case officers are neither monitored nor subject to
formal restraint.
·
Use of psychotropic
drugs by cooperative physicians.
Shortly after resigning from the CIA, one of our contacts underwent a
range of experiences which suggested that she had been massively drugged. One
of the alleged perpetrators, whom we have met, alternately claims to be
employed by NASA and/or by a firm in Miami, handling, “microwave
equipment.” NASA has no record of this person under the name furnished.
The “experimentee” ultimately sought the
assistance of a psychiatrist, whom her parents had located as a referral. The
psychiatrist treated her reported “flashbacks” by immediately placing her
on a regimen of Stelazine, which quickly aggravated her condition. He also
made comments to this individual which suggested that he had a foreknowledge
of her situation, and that he was cooperating with U.S. Intelligence. On one
occasion the psychiatrist intimated that our contact might be employable as an
assassin; and he repeatedly urged her to move to Great Britain where, he said,
she would be put in touch with an unidentified Member of Parliament.
Interestingly, he had a tremendous computer
system in his office suite, which he explained as being connected by modem
into a national level system which, in turn, connected into private
residences. When showing her this equipment, this psychiatrist informed our
contact that she had been “CAT scanned,” pointing out that she was the
subject of the vast series of “A’s” and “B’s” being printed out by
one of the many terminals at his disposal.
Our contact also found that this psychiatrist
kept a military uniform in his closet which bore the rank and insignia of a
three-star general.
The individual ultimately sought psychiatric
support elsewhere. Her new psychiatrist, formerly employed by DoD, immediately
put her on a regimen of Haldol Decanoate, Klonopin and Benzatropine. The
combined effect of these drugs was loss of memory and a state of mind which,
under other circumstances, might be diagnosed as Depersonalization or
Dissociative Disorder. All three drugs proved to be highly addictive. Our
contact, since severing contact with this psychiatrist as well, has finally
successfully overcome the addiction.
*
* *
Another individual—the one whose psychiatrist had informed her of her
role in a “Pavlovian Experiment”—was subjected to attempted drugging by
Trazodone, one of the strongest sedatives on the market. The psychiatrist in
question kept no record of the individual’s outpatient visits, nor of her
Trazodone prescriptions. Being unaware that the individual was not adhering to
his regimen, the psychiatrist urged her to rapidly increase her dosage,
renewing her 30-day prescription after a period of only 11 days.
Though aware of her heart condition, he
failed to monitor her condition, dismissing her complaints of
(electronically-induced) pains in her heart as inconsequential. Trazodone is
known to aggravate heart conditions. Perhaps the intent was to have this
individual succumb to a “heart attack” as the result of “imagined”
government harassment. Neither the appropriate psychiatric society nor the FBI
would touch this case.
*
* *
Another individual (a clear target of retaliation) sought medical
assistance to counter sudden massive headaches and recurrent attacks of
vomiting—effects which can be produced by infrasound. The physician to whom
she was referred (an alleged specialist in Internal Medicine) placed her on a
combination of Compazine and Xanax, prescribing dosages which the
Physicians’ Desk Reference warns against.
Compazine, in addition to being an
anti-emetic, is used in the treatment of psychotic disorders. It can also
cause tardive dyskinesia, an irreversible syndrome involving loss of motor
control. Xanax is known to induce vomiting. Both drugs can lead to dependency
and a worsening of the patient’s condition. The effects of all such drugs,
in fact, can be mutated in high-energy fields, thus increasing the likelihood
of adverse reactions.
We have recently found that this prescribing
“physician” is not licensed to practice medicine in the State in which she
has been practicing since at least 1989.
Our contact, being concerned about the
long-term effects of Xanax and Compazine, consulted another physician in that
same office. This physician immediately prescribed Prozac, failing to
concurrently recommend that her patient discontinue the Xanax and Compazine
prescriptions. When our contact refused to take any psychotropic drugs, the
doctor became upset and asked, “Don’t you want to get well?”
This second physician is a licensed
practitioner in Internal Medicine, with no background in Psychiatry. We have
also found that she apparently refers her patients to yet a third physician in
the office who claims to be a psychiatrist. She, too, is licensed to practice
Internal Medicine, only. Her receptionist described this third physician as
having a psychiatric “sub-specialty,” ... “as an internist.” The
receptionist also informed us that this internist “is treating a number of
psychiatric patients.”
On pursuing this further, we find that these
physicians are in a small “medical group” which is not listed by specialty
in standard regional telephone directories. The group bears the same name as
one of the CIA’s most infamous recruited physicians (perhaps best described
as “the Mengele of MKULTRA”).
The doctor’s offices are located in a bank
building, which, we have found, is a favored hiding place for
security-oriented businesses and government agencies. Two computer firms,
co-located with an attorney who represents “Island Resort Development,
Ltd.,” are situated immediately beneath the doctors’ offices. The prospect
of our finding island resort developments within 500 miles of this
attorney’s office is limited.
Our contact, being apprised of these
findings, is seeking medical help elsewhere.
*
* *
In two of our cases, urologists took it upon themselves to play the
role of “psychiatrist”; i.e., they rendered psychiatric diagnoses and
prescribed psychotropic drugs. One of these urologists, employed by The Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, MN, prescribed Haldol, informing our contact that he
perceived her to be “psychotic.” His efforts at getting a Clinic
psychiatrist to confirm this diagnosis were unsuccessful. The psychiatrist,
apparently a rare individual who subscribes to codes of medical ethics, found
nothing wrong with this woman, even given the nature of her complaints. The
urologist’s response to this was to issue his own Haldol prescription.
Sensing that something was amiss, the woman refused to have the prescription
filled.
*
* *
Yet another individual ended up in the hands of a psychiatrist who, as
a purported means of ending the stress associated with her harassment, offered
to put her under hypnosis. She described the hypnotic state as “equivalent
to floating” and (based on her overall experiences with this physician) has
not ruled out the possibility that drugs may have been surreptitiously
administered. The psychiatrist claimed to be interested in psychic phenomena
and demonstrated an apparently remarkable ability to read this individual’s
mind.
While in her “hypnotic state, the
individual felt a sharp, painful pressure inside her nose, as if something
were being shoved up her nostrils to the sinus cavities. She awoke to find
blood pouring out of her nostrils. The psychiatrist casually dismissed this as
owing to a probable cold.
Shortly after that experience, the individual
began to hear loud tones in her head, followed in due coarse by auditory
input. Brain scans have failed to yield evidence of an implanted device. (We
have recommended that she undergo a scan by means of a suitably adapted
non-linear junction detector, as a preliminary.) Suffice it to say, this
individual has severed contact with the psychiatrist and is continuing to cope
with ongoing overt and electronic harassment by other non-medical means.
·
Use of medical implant
devices.
The situation just described is not our first encounter with the
apparent use of medical implant devices in these harassment/mind-control
cases. Another of our contacts began receiving auditory input roughly 15 years
after she had 4 mm. cochlear implants placed in her ears. The “voices”
claimed to be affiliated with the CIA and, among other things, expressed
intentions of running this woman as an agent in denied areas by
“piggybacking” their audio transmissions onto standard FM frequencies to
avoid detection.
We have been unable to locate the surgeon who
implanted these devices, though we do have a copy of his operative reports. A
recent CAT scan of this individual failed to disclose the presence of the
cochlear implants.
Several years ago, the individual (now a
psychologist) applied for a position with the CIA. She was interviewed by four
Langley-based, purported psychologist, who allegedly informed her that her job
would involve the assessment of certain criminals for purposes of weighing
their prospects for loyalty to this agency.
During these interviews, she was told to read
several books by such persons as Philip Agee, Stansfield Turner and Ralph
McGehee, all of whom were unknown to her. The alleged psychologist claimed
that these authors had described the CIA “as it really is.” Our contact
was not asked to execute a secrecy affirmation statement acknowledging the
classified nature of these proceedings.
The unconventional manner of this interview
process suggests that this individual was being toyed with, for reasons which
remain to be determined. She did not get the job and in fact more recently
lost her job with a state penitentiary. She was fired on the recommendation of
the prison’s psychiatrist, because of her insistence that she is receiving
auditory input from CIA personnel who persist in feeding her classified
information.
Interestingly, though this individual was
deemed unfit to function as a psychologist in the penitentiary system, the
State has rehired her, assigning her to a mental health facility where,
apparently, she is to develop a behavioral modification program for retarded
adults with diagnosed mental illnesses.
This individual claimed to be receiving and
responding to externally-induced auditory “advice” while working with
prison inmates. It may be presumed that the process will continue. Under the
circumstances, we have to wonder if this case qualifies as a benchmark in
mind-control experimentation; i.e., employment of a mind-controlled
psychologist to run the equivalent of mind-control experiments on mentally-ill
retarded adults. We will continue to monitor the situation.
*
* *
The individual whom we previously identified as having challenged a
local power company also appears to have been “tagged” by some type of
implant device. During a recent symposium, she was approached by a man whose
business card identifies him as “Program Manager, Electromagnetic Radiation
Division,” DoE. His approach was suitably sympathetic. Our contact
ultimately accepted the man’s invitation to continue discussing their common
ranges of interest in his hotel room. During this meeting, she accepted the
offer of a drink, blacked out after consuming it, and awoke four hours later,
still in this man’s hotel room, to find that the back of her ear had been
punctured and was bleeding. There was no evidence of a sexual assault. The man
glibly evaded this woman’s requests for an explanation. She has since found
two adjacent puncture marks behind her ear, which are not healing properly,
and between which she can feel the presence of a “wire” measuring
approximately 1/4" in length. We are pursuing this further.
The said DoE Project Manager has more
recently initiated contact with yet another activist in touch with this
Association. His call was unsolicited. He apparently wanted to know if this
woman would be attending an upcoming conference. We have warned the individual
to avoid any form of private meeting with the said Project Manager.
*
* *
To date, we are aware of three cases involving clandestine behavior on
the part of alleged DoE employees. The CIA figures prominently (if peculiarly)
in the majority of our other cases. Two of those have been discussed above.
In another, also involving auditory input,
the individual is certain that the current Director of Central Intelligence
(DCI) participated in the “voice transmission” process on at least one
occasion. She claims to have recognized his voice. When she commented aloud on
the DCI’s perceived involvement in this experimentation, the “voice”
responded with stuttered and stammered denials. We are told that this
particular “voice” has not been heard from since.
*
* *
In yet another case involving auditory input, the individual has
allegedly been informed by her “voices” that the technologies being used
against her were stolen from the CIA by a maverick employee, whose group is
now targeting her from a distance of 2,000 miles. She reported this to the
DCI’s office and was allegedly informed by the Deputy DCI that she will be
awarded millions of dollars if she can produce the equipment and any of the
personnel involved in her harassment.
One unusually-candid CIA spokesman also
allegedly informed this individual that, “while the CIA does not deny having
this equipment,” they “do not use it in this country.” Perhaps this
explains why a number of our contacts have also been electronically harassed
while traveling overseas.
This woman has also been repeatedly assured
by CIA DDS (security) personnel of the Agency’s sincere concern for her
welfare. During a recent telephone conversation with that Office, we confirmed
that she is indeed known to the CIA. Based on this, we asked that the Agency
“put its money where its mouth is,” so to speak, by conducting a long-term
electronic sweep of this individual’s premises. That was two months ago. No
sweep has been conducted, though CIA spokesmen continue to “sympathize”
with her predicament.
*
* *
Another individual, a target of harassment and experimentation since
1952 (apparently singled out because of his student activism while at Penn
State University) began hearing “voices” after having most of his teeth
capped. He has more recently been informed by his “handlers” that
implanted devices are no longer used for purposes of inducing auditory input.
No explanation was offered. He was quite visibly surprised when informed by
this investigator that auditory input can be achieved solely by means of
pulsed microwave audiograms (discussed in Part I of this report).
This individual’s “handlers” allegedly
have also stated that their experiments on U.S. citizens are in pursuit of a
variety of objectives; viz.,
(1) develop an effective means for creating a perfect, “robotized” soldier;
(2) alter individual sexual preferences, such as by turning heterosexuals into homosexuals (they allegedly claim to be having “difficulties” reversing the process): and
(3) enhance or destroy levels of academic achievement, at will, such as by degrading the performance of otherwise brilliant students, and by drastically improving the performance of poor students.
Given the technology at the government’s disposal and a
predisposition on the part of certain governmental agencies to “play God”
in experimental fashion with citizens’ lives, these purported projects do
not come across as being totally far-fetched.
*
* *
Another case involves a woman whose experiences suggest that she, too,
is an MKULTRA experimentee being kept on the books, so to speak. The woman,
apparently a “pet” experimentee, found herself being introduced to a wide
array of prominent individuals whose connections with the CIA she believed to
be quite apparent. One of those she states, was Robert Jay Lifton, a
well-known author and expert on brainwashing, whose books include The
Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide (Basic Books,
1986).
Her experiences included a voluntary
(“referral”) admission to Hollywood Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada, in 1973, during an era when MKULTRA experiments at the Alan Memorial
Institute, McGill University, Montreal, Canada, were only beginning to capture
the attention of the U.S. Senate.[8]
More recently, in 1990, she was transported
to New York University’s Cameron Medical Center, in Westchester, NY (under
circumstances which qualify as an abduction), where she was forcibly wrestled
to the ground by approximately six Center staffers and forcibly confined for a
period of approximately three weeks. She was neither psychiatrically counseled
nor formally tested while in that facility. The psychiatrists assigned to her
case appeared more intent on forcing her to take a combination of neuroleptic
drugs, to include Haldol, Navane, and Cogentin. (Haldol and Navane can cause
tardive dyskinesia.) She resisted those attempts.
A court ultimately ordered this woman
released from the Center, stipulating that she was not to be administered
drugs. On subsequently acquiring her medical records, under conditions which
prevented censoring or doctoring of those records, she found that her
psychiatrists had planned to inject her with drugs (in defiance of the court
order) on the day of her release. As luck would have it, she was released a
day early.
This woman states also that she has met Budd
Hopkins, of the Intruders Foundation, and that she had a long-term, confiding
relationship with John E. Mack, Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical
School, and founding Director of the Center for Psychological Studies in the
Nuclear Age (previously named, Research Program for the Study of Human
Continuity; and, still previously, rumored to have cooperated with the CIA in
studies of “human ecology”).
At one point in their relationship, Professor
Mack apparently accompanied this woman to a “support group” meeting of UFO
abductees, who, she observed bemusedly, “spent their time comparing
[extraterrestrially] implanted devices.” Professor Mack is on record as
promoting the perception that UFO abductions are legitimate.[9]
We frankly doubt that extraterrestrials who
have a means to commute intergalactically would stoop to implanting
comparatively primitive devices in human beings. However, should it be proved
that the psychiatrist, surgeon and DoE Project Manager discussed above are
extraterrestrials posing as humans, we will be happy to weigh that
information. If it is similarly established that the vehicular “abduction”
of the woman discussed above was the work of an extraterrestrial named Kaplan,
who is posing as a human with Cornell Medical Center connections, we will be
happy to ponder that as well.
In the meantime, it would seem reasonable
that the government would want the public to believe that extraterrestrial
visitations are on the upswing. Mind-altering drugs, externally-induced
auditory input, holographic projections (also a DoD capability),[10]
appropriately focused directed-energy targeting, device implantations, special
effects and abductions are all within this government’s capabilities and can
be used for purposes of creating illusions of UFO experiences. Persons not
cognizant of this might be more inclined to fall for the UFO mythologies now
being officially “legitimized.”
*
* *
Other cases, possibly involving U.S. Navy Intelligence, NSA, the Drug
Enforcement Agency (DEA) and, peripherally, members of former Soviet Bloc
intelligence services will be discussed in future reports.
In his book, Psychiatry and the
CIA: Victims of Mind Control, Dr. Harvey Weinstein quotes the following
passage from a book entitled, Battle
for the Mind: A Physiology of Conversion and Brainwashing, by William
Sargant (Greenwood Press, Westport, CT, 1957):
“By increasing or prolonging stresses in
various ways, or inducing physical debilitation, a more thorough alteration of
the person’s thinking processes may be achieved. ...If the stress or the
physical debilitation, or both, are carried one stage further, it may happen
that patterns of thought and behavior, especially those of recent acquisition,
become disrupted. New patterns can then be substituted, or suppressed patterns
allowed to reassert themselves; or the subject may begin to think or act in
ways that precisely contradict his former ones.
“‘...If a complete sudden collapse can be
produced by prolonging or intensifying emotional stress, the cortical slate
may be wiped clean temporarily of its more recently implanted patterns of
behavior, perhaps allowing others to be substituted more easily.’”
Dr. Weinstein then comments: “The parallel
with [Dr. Ewen] Cameron’s theory of differential amnesia is striking, and
the relationship to brainwashing is abundantly clear.”[11]
Dr. Cameron, employed by McGill University’s Allan Memorial Institute in
Montreal, Quebec, Canada, between 1943 and 1964, conducted brainwashing
experiments upon select, non-volunteer psychiatric patients on behalf of the
CIA. Dr. Weinstein’s father was one of Cameron’s victims.
Sargant’s theorems and Cameron’s
associated experimental findings appear to be the driving force behind the
harassment and experimentation now being reported to this Association. All of
these individuals are being subjected to a series of overlapping circumstances
which apparently are meant to induce and sustain long-term extremes of stress.
All of these individuals have been effectively isolated. Unethical
psychiatrists and physicians are involved in the majority of these cases.
Mind-altering prescription drugs are being used for clearly non-therapeutic
purposes. Evidence of LSD use is also beginning to surface (one of Cameron’s
favored mind-altering substances). And “psychic driving”
techniques—Cameron’s pet brainwashing method—are involved in all these
cases, to a much greater and more potentially effective degree where auditory
input is involved.
The long-term objectives of these harassment
and experimentation campaigns appear to be quite fundamental; viz.,
(1) induce a sense of perverted “loyalty” toward the very
agencies engaged in the individual’s harassment, to confuse his or her
priorities where the possibility of obtaining legal redress might be
concerned;
(2) redirect the targeted individual’s feelings of hopelessness,
anger and frustration toward racial and ethnic groups, and toward select,
prominent political figures, to include the President of the United States;
and
(3) force the individual to commit an act of violence, whether suicide
or murder, under conditions which can be plausibly denied by the government.
An operation’s ultimate success apparently hangs on this latter
objective. We have successfully obstructed this process in a number of cases
now being investigated.
In recent weeks, considerable publicity has been given the trauma
suffered by victims of “stalkers” (persons who obsessively surveil, harass
and, in some cases, kill targeted individuals for assorted, unfathomable
reasons). Movie stars who have been stalked recurrently make the news.
Stalking, as a problem, is in fact becoming widespread, to the point where, in
some States, the activity has finally been specifically proscribed by law.
The individuals in contact with our
Association are reporting the same terrifying ranges of experiences as are now
being reported in the press on behalf of other victims of stalkers. The only
difference in the cases reported to us is that the stalkers operate in groups
over extremely prolong periods of time, and (it would appear) with the
blessing of certain agencies of the U.S. Government. The laws being passed to
protect victims of stalkers are clearly being selectively applied. We hope to
put an end to this situation; that is, in addition to achieving the objectives
discussed above.
It should be noted that the FBI, though
unwilling to intervene in the cases described above recently intervened on a
massive scale to protect Joy Silverman, a Bush-appointed trustee of the J.F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, from the ardent “stalkings” of her
estranged paramour, Sol Wachtler, Chief Justice, Court of Appeals for the
State of New York.[12]
Wachtler had apparently threatened to kidnap
Silverman’s daughter if not paid $20,000. Since no kidnapping had occurred,
and the case qualified merely as an attempted extortion, a question arises as
to why the New York State Police could not have handled this investigation.
Mrs. Silverman resides in New York.
It would appear that the FBI devoted more
than 100 agents and technicians to the effort, resolving the case within
approximately 30 days. On November 7, 1992, the day of his arrest, Wachtler
ran a gauntlet of 80 FBI special agents on the Long Island Expressway.
Apparently the FBI does not have enough to do, if staking out a lone stalker
is their top priority. We have to wonder, of course, if the FBI’s massive
response was prompted by what was perceived to be Wachtler’s usurpation of
governmental stalking prerogatives.
Mrs. Silverman’s $300,000 donations to
Republican Party causes could be considered a basis for the FBI’s solicitous
concern for her welfare. It would appear, under the circumstances, that the
“stalking victims” discussed above—being by now quite
poverty-stricken—should abandon all hope of FBI intervention in their
respective situations. FBI protection appears to have a price tag, which not
one of our contacts can afford.
There
can never be any justification for torture. It creates an escalation
of violence
in the internal affairs of states. It spreads like a contagious
disease from country to country. It has lasting effects on the
mental and physical health of the victim and brutalizes the
torturer. It is our fundamental duty as human beings to express what
is surely the conscience of humanity and to eradicate this evil.

According to a Vancouver
Sun archivist, Hollywood Hospital, Ltd. (a privately-owned institution),
went out of business in 1975, two years after this woman’s hospitalization
and after approximately 30 years of doing business. The event coincided with
findings by the U.S. Senate Church Committee concerning the CIA’s
brainwashing experiments under MKULTRA. Our contact also identified the
Director of Hollywood Hospital as Dr. Ross MacLean—information also
confirmed by the Vancouver Sun.
Nothing in these records, copies of which are being obtained, points to CIA
involvement with the hospital. Perhaps a portion of history has been
overlooked. Cornell Medical Center’s role in MKULTRA is a matter of public
record. (See, for example, Thomas, Gordon, Journey
