Washington Post Reveals Gov't Mind Control Horrors: talks tin foil hats
Edited on Tue Jan-23-07 02:09 PM by Luckyduck
http://wonkette.com/politics/dick-cheney/now-whos-crazy-washington-post-reveals-govt-mind-control-horrors-230492.php

But the Post’s twisted feature goes the extra step and says that while some of these Victims might just be crazy, the Pentagon and CIA have developed all sorts of monstrous remote-brain-torture machines and have a long history of trying such wicked devices on unwitting citizens and soldiers. Read the startling Main Stream Media evidence, after the jump.

* In 1965, the White House ordered “Project Pandora” from the Pentagon, due to mysterious microwave attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
* That project — and its companion, Project Bizarre — involved “zapping monkeys; exposing unwitting sailors to microwave radiation; and conducting a host of other unusual experiments.”
* Air Force research in the mid 1990s focused on mind-control weapons that could broadcast words to people’s brains.
* Actual quote from USAF study: “The signal can be a ‘message from God’ that can warn the enemy of impending doom, or encourage the enemy to surrender.”
* In 2002, the Air Force Research Laboratory patented its technology for beaming words to people’s brains.
* “Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at NASA’s Langley Research Center, tagged microwave attacks against the human brain as part of future warfare in a 2001 presentation to the National Defense Industrial Association about Future Strategic Issues.”
* Bushnell says the “exceedingly sensitive” work won’t be reported in unclassified studies.
* The Pentagon’s “Pain Ray” has been public knowledge since 2001 and is probably already used on crowds in Iraq … and Los Angeles.
* “During the Cold War, the government conducted radiation experiments on scores of unwitting victims, essentially using them as human guinea pigs.”
* The Pentagon’s “exotic weapons” specialist, Col. John Alexander, tells the Post that Washington needs mind-control weapons, and thanks to 9/11 it’s all allowed again!
* Dennis Kucinich introduced legislation to ban “psychotronic weapons” in 2001, but the neocons made a joke of it and he dropped the language from his bill.
* According to an MIT study, “Tinfoil hats may actually amplify radio frequency signals.”

more from the original article

In response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed for this article, the Air Force released unclassified documents surrounding that 2002 patent — records that note that the patent was based on human experimentation in October 1994 at the Air Force lab, where scientists were able to transmit phrases into the heads of human subjects, albeit with marginal intelligibility. Research appeared to continue at least through 2002. Where this work has gone since is unclear…

Meanwhile, the military’s use of weapons that employ electromagnetic radiation to create pain is well-known, as are some of the limitations of such weapons. In 2001, the Pentagon declassified one element of this research: the Active Denial System, a weapon that uses electromagnetic radiation to heat skin and create an intense burning sensation….

…given the history of America’s clandestine research, it’s reasonable to assume that if the defense establishment could develop mind-control or long-distance ray weapons, it almost certainly would. And, once developed, the possibility that they might be tested on innocent civilians could not be categorically dismissed.

1. one hastens to point out things like the "automatic writing" in Sirhan's
notebook, after the RFK assassination -- and the fact that the personality type of each of the "lone nuts" was someone who was easily vulnerable to suggestion, hypnosis, etc.

13. well, i thought it was a reference to both..
I thought Sirhan had said there was a red dressed woman, I ad never heard of the polka dots.
I might be mixing the movie with reality though.

14. well, "reality" has been tampered with a lot
so what the heck. Yeah, a polka-dot dress. Woman ran out shouting "We got him!," or "We shot him," after Sirhan -- and/or the "security" guard who was there -- finished firing their bullets...

The LAPD, of course, never really followed up in their "investigation," but then, like the Dallas PD, they weren't really supposed to.

3. LOL!
Here's something interesting from the WaPo article:

The biggest hurdle for TIs is getting people to take their concerns seriously. A proposal made in 2001 by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) to ban "psychotronic weapons" (another common term for mind-control technology) was hailed by TIs as a great step forward. But the bill was widely derided by bloggers and columnists and quickly dropped.

Doug Gordon, Kucinich's spokesman, would not discuss mind control other than to say the proposal was part of broader legislation outlawing weapons in space. The bill was later reintroduced, minus the mind control. "It was not the concentration of the legislation, which is why it was tightened up and redrafted," was all Gordon would say.

4. If I ever found the magic lamp, I'd ask the genie to make the entire US Pentagon go 'poof'!
Back during Viet Nam, there was a poster that read: It will be a great day when the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber. I've been against the militarization of the USA since the 1960's.

8. Scientists were able to transmit phrases into the heads of human subjects

Does anyone else find this frightening? I'm sure they have not given up,only perfected it.

9. reminds me of this story...
The Sunday Times - Scotland
The Sunday Times October 17, 2004

Brainwash victims win cash claims
Karin Goodwin
HUNDREDS of mentally ill patients who were subjected to barbaric CIA-funded brainwashing experiments by a Scottish doctor could be entitled to compensation following a landmark court ruling.
Doctor Ewan Cameron, who became one of the world’s leading psychiatrists, developed techniques used by Nazi scientists to wipe out the existing personalities of people in his care.
Cameron, who graduated from Glasgow University, was recruited by the CIA during the cold war while working at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
He carried out mind-control experiments using drugs such as LSD on hundreds of patients, but only 77 of them were awarded compensation.

10. Project Stargate at Ft Meade. Psychonaughts tried to invade the astral plain.
Just like last time. Welcome to Babel. You towers are cast down and you are hopelessly lost in the confussion.

12. more from the WaPo
Concerns about microwaves and mind control date to the 1960s, when the U.S. government discovered that its embassy in Moscow was being bombarded by low-level electromagnetic radiation. In 1965, according to declassified Defense Department documents, the Pentagon, at the behest of the White House, launched Project Pandora, top-secret research to explore the behavioral and biological effects of low-level microwaves. For approximately four years, the Pentagon conducted secret research: zapping monkeys; exposing unwitting sailors to microwave radiation; and conducting a host of other unusual experiments (a sub-project of Project Pandora was titled Project Bizarre). The results were mixed, and the program was plagued by disagreements and scientific squabbles. The "Moscow signal," as it was called, was eventually attributed to eavesdropping, not mind control, and Pandora ended in 1970. And with it, the military's research into so-called non-thermal microwave effects seemed to die out, at least in the unclassified realm.

But there are hints of ongoing research: An academic paper written for the Air Force in the mid-1990s mentions the idea of a weapon that would use sound waves to send words into a person's head. "The signal can be a 'message from God' that can warn the enemy of impending doom, or encourage the enemy to surrender," the author concluded.

In 2002, the Air Force Research Laboratory patented precisely such a technology: using microwaves to send words into someone's head. That work is frequently cited on mind-control Web sites. Rich Garcia, a spokesman for the research laboratory's directed energy directorate, declined to discuss that patent or current or related research in the field, citing the lab's policy not to comment on its microwave work.

In response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed for this article, the Air Force released unclassified documents surrounding that 2002 patent -- records that note that the patent was based on human experimentation in October 1994 at the Air Force lab, where scientists were able to transmit phrases into the heads of human subjects, albeit with marginal intelligibility. Research appeared to continue at least through 2002. Where this work has gone since is unclear -- the research laboratory, citing classification, refused to discuss it or release other materials.

The official U.S. Air Force position is that there are no non-thermal effects of microwaves. Yet Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center, tagged microwave attacks against the human brain as part of future warfare in a 2001 presentation to the National Defense Industrial Association about "Future Strategic Issues."

"That work is exceedingly sensitive" and unlikely to be reported in any unclassified documents, he says.

Mind Games
New on the Internet: a community of people who believe the government is beaming voices into their minds. They may be crazy, but the Pentagon has pursued a weapon that can do just that.
