An excerpt:

Reading brain waves and mind control
In 1959, Saul B. Sells, a professor of social psychology at a minor US university submitted a proposal to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to build for them the most sophisticated electroencephalography machine that would have an integral computational capacity to analyze and, hopefully, make sense of the brain waves it recorded. In other words, the professor proposed to make a machine that could tell the CIA what a person was thinking, whether or not the person wished to disclose that information.
The CIA approved the project in 1960, adding some library research with five objectives. The fifth objective of the research was, "Techniques for Activating the Human Organism by Remote Electronic Means". The entire assignment was thereafter known as MKULTRA subproject 119, MKULTRA being the CIA's notorious mind control programme. It was based on the erroneous notion that the Soviets already possessed the means to control minds and the US had to catch up as rapidly as possible.
The documents pertaining to MKULTRA subproject 119 are now held in the National Security Archives (a non-governmental organization) at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. [1]. John Marks, author of The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: The CIA and Mind Control, (Times Books, New York, 1979) donated the MKULTRA documents; his book was republished by W.W. Norton & Company, Inc., New York, 1991 and is still in print.
Project Bizarre followed MKULTRA subproject 119 in 1965. The purpose of Bizarre was to record and analyze the complex microwave signal allegedly being beamed at the American Embassy in Moscow by the Soviets from a building across the street. The interesting thing about Project Bizarre is that while the United States has denied to this very day that there could be adverse health effects from microwave radiation, it immediately suspected that "the Moscow signal" was producing a variety of health effects in Embassy personnel, particularly in the successive ambassadors at whose office it was claimed the signal was being beamed. At the same time that the State Department was testing embassy personnel for DNA breaks produced by the Moscow signal, it felt constrained from complaining to the Soviets because the power of their signal was a tiny fraction of what the US said was a safe, human exposure level. Journalist Barton Reppert has written the most authoritative account of the Moscow signal [2]. (Editor's note: DNA breaks from exposure to mobile phones have been confirmed in recent lab research [3, 4] (Science in Society 24).)
Converting sound to microwaves

In 1973, Joseph C. Sharp, an experimental psychologist at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research performed an experiment that was pivotal to the development of the torture equipment being shipped to Iraq today. He had James Lin set up equipment in his laboratory which converted the shape of sound waves into microwave radiation that enabled him to hear himself vocalize the names of the numbers from one to ten in his head, by-passing the mechanism of his own ears. This particular experiment was never published but is mentioned in Lin's book, Microwave Auditory Effects and Applications, published in 1978 [5].
The experiment has been confirmed in US Patent 6 587 729, "Apparatus for Audibly Communicating Speech Using the Radio Frequency Hearing Effect" [6]. This patent is for an improved version of the apparatus used in the 1973 laboratory experiment, issued on July 1, 2003 and assigned to the Secretary of the Air Force. It provides scientific evidence that it is possible to hear threatening voices in one's head without suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
Why has this patent been published openly at a time when the US Government is practicing a degree of secrecy that rivals Stalin's Kremlin? I have no satisfactory answer, except to say that the apparatus in the patent has already been superseded by equipment that achieves the same effect by far more sophisticated means. It blocks the normal processes of memory and thought by remote electronic means, while at the same time supplying false, distorted and/or unpleasant memories and suggestions by means of a process called "synthetic telepathy". The equipment that produces synthetic telepathy is sometimes referred to as "influence technology".
While voices and visions, daydreams and nightmares are the most astonishing manifestations of this weapon system, it is also capable of crippling the human subject by limiting his/her normal range of movement, causing acute pain the equivalent of major organ failure or even death, and interfering with normal functioning of any of the human senses. In other words, any of the tortures with which the words Guantanamo Bay have become synonymous can be achieved by remote, electronic means.
Instruments of torture

Influence technology is also capable of persuading the subjects that their mind is being read, that their intellectual property is being plundered, and can even motivate suicide or the murder of family, friends, and co-workers. During the years of the so-called "War on Drugs" (which preceded the "War on Terrorism"), letters that the involuntary human subjects had written or were about to receive regularly vanished from the mail, as though the government had a huge covert operation through post offices across the country. When George Herbert Walker Bush became president (in1989), the incidence of co-worker killings in the post offices became so great that the expression "going postal" began to replace the commonly used expression of "going crazy". The killing of co-workers in other workplaces began to command more media attention too [7].
I estimate that the cost of imprisoning a human being in his/her own body and applying unremitting torture is US$5 000 000 to $10 000 000 a year (see below).
By "unremitting torture" I mean exactly that. Because there is no visible evidence left by this new torture equipment such as damage to the skin, it is possible to torture the involuntary human subjects for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This can be done and is being done even on Christmas and Easter [8].
I arrived at my estimate on the cost of testing/using electromagnetic weapons on a human subject by visiting a cable TV channel that specializes in the sale of goods over the air 24 hours a day. I questioned the number of technical staff required, their working hours and salary range; also the number of back-up personnel required to prepare the programming for broadcast. I did not inquire about the cost of electronics and the schedule by which it is depreciated. I have estimated a cost for depreciation that is included in my estimate of the cost of torturing one involuntary human subject for one year.
Torture is a labor-intensive business. What objective would justify this investment? Could it be something as insane as to rule the world by enslaving the democratic governments of the more populous countries? This objective is certainly consistent with the United States' disdain for, and hostility toward, the United Nations, the international conventions and covenants it has ratified in the past and customary international law [9].
On 1 March 2001, the Marine Corps announced a new non-lethal weapon, "active denial technology". It produces enormous pain by allegedly boiling the molecules of water in the human skin without damaging the skin itself. As described in an article published in New Scientist, it employs pulsed electromagnetic radiation at a frequency of 95 GHz with a range of about 600 meters [10]. There have been several new reports in the magazine in 2005, including one published in July [11], describing volunteers taking part in tests to determine how safe the Active Denial System (ADS) weapon would be if used in real crowd-control. The ADS weapon's beam was reported to cause pain within 2 to 3 seconds, and becomes "intolerable after less than 5 seconds".
Active denial technology is the cornerstone of the system employed to torture 2 000 persons in the privacy of their own homes, not only in the United States but around the world, wherever countries have signed Status of Forces Agreements with the United States [12]. Allegations of torture were first received from countries with which the United States has a special intelligence-sharing relationship i.e. the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Then reports began to arrive from the conquered countries where the United States still has large numbers of troops stationed, i.e. Germany and Japan. When France rejoined the military arm of NATO in the late 90s, we began to receive allegations of torture in France. Very recently we have begun to receive allegations of torture from India, where American companies have begun to outsource, not only help lines, but also programming [13].
And then there is the case of Russia, where the involuntary, human subjects of torture experiments appear to be both numerous and well organized. I have been told reliably that every Russian scientist who could speak English has now found a home in an American university or government laboratory. This is plausible, considering the frequently voiced American worry that Soviet era experts in nuclear weaponry and biological warfare might find employment in Iran. It is a fact that at the end of World War II the US Army swept through Germany in an operation called Project Paperclip, recruiting, in particular, Nazi rocket scientists and experts in aerospace medicine. Some other scientists were recruited simply to deprive the Soviet Union of this resource. So what has become of the Soviet scientists who didn't speak English? In time we will find out for certain, but for now it is a safe guess that at least some of them have been employed to study the Russian value system and decision making processes by torturing other Russians with American "influence technology" [14].
Two interesting and important articles on bioelectromagnetic weapons have recently appeared in the New Scientist: "Maximum pain is aim of new U.S. weapon" and "Police toy with less lethal' weapons", both written by David Hambling [15]. See also US. Patent 6 536 440 of March 25, 2003 [16].
Since completing this article in mid-June 2005, it has come to my attention that the Israelis are deploying a device called "The Scream", which sends out bursts of audible, but not loud sound at intervals of about 10 seconds. A photographer at the scene of a demonstration said that he continued to hear the sound ringing in his head even after he covered his ears. This suggests to me that the active agent is electromagnetic rather than acoustic. In other words, the Israelis have come up with a device that is far cleverer than our "active denial technology". It not only deters rioters, but also issues an audible warning that it has been turned on, which the US device does not, leaving it entirely to the enlisted men operating it to determine how much burning pain their adversaries receive. The margin for error with the US device is unconscionable. It may as well be called a lethal weapon because in practice it very frequently will be [17].

The thesis offered within those links is that the bath salts story is a psy-op used to cover further testing of technologies in the broad arena of "remote behavioral influence".

Kindly show all the passages relating to bath salts and Ruby Eugene in your links.

The thesis offered within those links is that the bath salts story is a psy-op used to cover further testing of technologies in the broad arena of "remote behavioral influence".

Kindly show all the passages relating to bath salts and Ruby Eugene in your links.

Are you:

a) serious?;
b) lazy?;
c) incapable of reading English?

From the very first link:

The second paragraph sets the theme:

"The problem of those pesky cannibalistic zombies...seems like the wet dream of a psychopath come true."

"In a previous post we examined the link between the Zombie attack and the use of a weaponised mutated rabies virus, and the delivery of such.

We have discounted the used of synthetic drugs as cause of "zombie" like behaviour, especially from the toxicology results back from the lab, of Rudy Eugene.On the Subject of Rudy Eugene, I feel he was a TI (targeted individual) because of his past, he was known to the authorities, he was the first person to be "tazered" in his area, and other strange altercations that he was involved in...also......"

From the link inside that article, a clue as to my initial early awareness of the "zombie" issue (about which I inquired and researched):

"What the hell is going on? Why the meme creation? Is a narrative being created for some kind of biological warfare? Of course, I don't know. The continuous news such as this, Bangor Maine drills for Zombie Apocalypse has got my suspicions aroused....."

If you recall, I spent years in the field of emergency medical services response, disaster management, mass casualty incident management, emergency management, exercise design, first responder training. EMT training, and simulation-based training systems including those to train civilian teams in pathogenic illness tracing and tracking.

The recent terrifying spate of 'cannibal attacks' seems to have spread to China, as a drunk bus driver was caught on camera gnawing at a woman's face in a horrific random attack.
The unfortunate woman will apparently require plastic surgery to repair the damage done by her crazed attacker.

Ed - as usual, your inability to think critically is all that is on display here.

You confuse two different ontological spaces, and then hide behind a torrent of often poor source material, of wildly varying relevance to the "bath salts" and "human face eating" of this thread.

It is entirely legitimate to ask whether a new biological weapon, an airborne rabies varies, has been created and unleashed. This is worthy of further research.

However, "Zombieism" is a cultural meme. Indeed, a postmodern cultural meme.

I made a film almost two decades ago which had a 10-minute section on Clairvius Narcisse.

To respond to one of your earlier ignorances, I first read Apocalypse Culture in 1988 - the year of its publication.

I've interviewed Persinger, and I know all about Smirnov.

I spelt it out for you above.

Here it is again:

Now, in the traditional fashion, the ouroboros swallows its tail....

The meme becomes flesh....

Volkand Security mobilizes against Zombies....

The psyop eats All.

I know you will fail to understand.. again.

Please elucidate, sensei, on how I confuse two different ontological spaces.

You suggest I hide behind a torrent of poor source material [despite repeated efforts on my part to get you and everyone else here to have a serious and detailed conversation, perhaps even the construction of a working database, on the differentiation of source material] while you hide behind references I don't "grok" )(and wonder how many readers do) about obscure sources, your work ten years old, people you once interviewed (holy shit, I once interviewed Paul Simon, does that make me insightful about his role in pop music?), and a book that is a quarter-century old.

Perhaps you can "school" everyone in greater depth, professor, while you profess.

[Dawn Meredith]

What has any of that got to do with legal highs or bath salts, Ed?

I see that Klimkowski has taken over my identity and answered your question.

As Klimkowski has taken it upon himself to attack me again and again, I don't feel compelled to answer or respond to his interpretation except to point out the fact that he has zeroed in on one publishing house as the lever for his explanation.

Geez:
"Paranoia striks deep".

Much is made, and rightfully so, about the backdoors that get inserted into software, whether it be operating systems, database systems, trojan horses, etc., for surveillance, subterfuge, sabotage, or computer/finance/theft. Everyone has to be very careful about what they import into their computers. What seems eminently clear, especially if you have read "Thresholds of the Mind" and understand the science behind the power of auto-suggestion, binaural-beat-driven brain-wave neuroplasticity, etc., is that people have discovered the back door into your own mind, past the "sentinel" that guards the locked file drawer of your awareness and beliefs, the operating system of your mind. Some use that to improve their own mental performance; some apparently use it or engineer technologies that can furtively take control of your mind and its distributed psychoneuroimmunologic network of peptides, hormones and neurons to make you do things you might not otherwise do.

The primary reference is to an article by Gerald Oster in an article in the Oct. 1973 issue of Scientific American and its fancy graphic; see p. 137 of "Thresholds".

[What is curiously interesting is that, in replacing my copy (given away to someone else), I got a used copy whose bookmark was a business card of someone in "change management" at Boeing. ]

I've been reading about this stuff since about 1986; my list of sources is published.

What is evident, based on several sources, is this knowledge is widely available and used within the security states apparati and easily accessed if one has massed surveillance software set on permanent search for intellectual property. There is ample evidence it has been used in the development of "products" created for and by identifiable intelligence agency "cut-out" companies (one is specifically identified in WMR's book about the insertion of Obama into the Presidency, and that one is active in a variety of ways).

Fear and paranoia can and are often seen by others as a sign of mental deficiency and, indeed, a great deal of research into these topical areas has already been conducted by the London-based Tavistock Institute, itself an outgrowth of ... well, do your own homework. That TPTB have used their knowledge of fear to engineer control is well understood. For your own edification, a good read might be "Deep Survival" by Laurence Gonzalez.

[Ed Jewett]

It puts a new wrinkle on the phrase "cognitive infiltration", doesn't it?

Dr. William J. Tyler is an Assistant Professor in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University, is a co-founder and the CSO of SynSonix, Inc., and a member of the 2010 DARPA Young Faculty Award class.Every single aspect of human sensation, perception, emotion, and behavior is regulated by brain activity. Thus, having the ability to stimulate brain function is a powerful technology.Recent advances in neurotechnology have shown that brain stimulation is capable of treating neurological diseases and brain injury, as well as serving platforms around which brain-computer interfaces can be built for various purposes. Several limitations however still pose significant challenges to implementing traditional brain stimulation methods for treating diseases and controlling information processing in brain circuits.For example, deep-brain stimulating (DBS) electrodes used to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease require neurosurgery in order to implant electrodes and batteries into patients. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) used to treat drug-resistant depression and other disorders do not require surgery, but have a low spatial resolution of approximately one centimeter and cannot stimulate deep brain circuits where many diseased circuits reside.

These illustrations show the surgical invasiveness of deep-brain stimulating electrodes (left) and depict the low spatial resolutions conferred by transcranial magnetic stimulation (right). (Image: Tyler Lab)

To overcome the above limitations, my laboratory has engineered a novel technology which implements transcranial pulsed ultrasound to remotely and directly stimulate brain circuits without requiring surgery. Further, we have shown this ultrasonic neuromodulation approach confers a spatial resolution approximately five times greater than TMS and can exert its effects upon subcortical brain circuits deep within the brain.A portion of our initial work has been supported by the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) Army Research Laboratory (ARL) where we have been working to develop methods for encoding sensory data onto the cortex using pulsed ultrasound.Through a recent grant made by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)Young Faculty Award Program, our research will begin undergoing the next phases of research and development aimed towards engineering future applications using this neurotechnology for our country's warfighters. Here, we will continue exploring the influence of ultrasound on brain function and begin using transducer phased arrays to examine the influence of focused ultrasound on intact brain circuits. We will also be investigating the use of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) for use in brain stimulation. Finally, to improve upon spatial resolution, we will examine the use of acoustic metamaterials and hyperlenses to study how subdiffraction limited ultrasound influences brain wave activity patterns.How can this technology be used to provide our nation's Warfighters with strategic advantages? We have developed working and conceptual prototypes in which ballistic helmets can be fitted with ultrasound transducers and microcontroller devices to illustrate potential applications as shown below. We look forward to developing a close working relationship with DARPA and otherDepartment of Defense and U.S. Intelligence Communities to bring some of these applications to fruition over the coming years depending on the most pressing needs of our country's defense industries.

Above illustrations show a ballistic helmet fitted with four ultrasound transducers (left) and another functional prototype for achieving human brain stimulation using a single element transducer (bottom-right), as well as a list of potential applications relevant to the defense industry.
