NEURAL MANIPULATION
BY REMOTE RADAR
Extract from: Lobster Magazine.
This essay has been written using recently declassified
records on Project Pandora released on 19 December 1994 to the author after
a Freedom of Information Act appeal filed three years ago. The aim of Project
Pandora was to study the microwave frequencies targeted on the US Embassy in
Moscow by the Soviets during the 1960s and 70s. All the sources quoted in this
paper were included in the Project Pandora papers released to me.
Abstract: In 1961 Allan H. Frey provided evidence that the perception of
sound can be induced in normal and deaf humans by irradiation of the head with
low-power density, pulse-modulated, UHF (ultra high frequency) electromagentic
energy: a type of radio wave. It had previously been shown that the UHF energy
of wavelengths smaller than 10 cm. could produce a heating of the skin up to
severe burning. Since then, work by Frey and other has shown that this same
microwave energy is capable of producing selective tachycardia (a speeding up
of the heart beat) and brachycardia (a slowing down of the heart beat). In 1973
S. M. Bawin et al provided further evidence that brain waves can be inhibited
or enhanced by low power VHF energy. The ability to modify behaviour with auditory-cortext
stimuli, peripheral heating, brain rhythm modification and many other biological
applications of microwaves has been repeatedly shown since the 1950s. The energy
in question is used in radar. In view of the fact that radar is capable of detecting
a single insect at a distance of over 1 kilometre and at an altitude of 600
metres, it is therefore possible that the biological application of radar could
be used as a weapon on an individual or mass basis for sociological or political
purposes.
Electromagnetic energy in bio-sciences
Although the use of electromagentic (EM) energy in bio-sciences is considered
to be a relatively recent development, bio-electric research dates back at least
as far as 1786 when Galvani and Volta were arguing about electricity and frogs'
legs. It was not until 1908 that the term diathermy for the heating of body
tissues by high frequency current was coined by Von Zeyneck, the pioneer in
the use of direct electrodes. But the real progress was made in the 1920 when
F. Cazzamali, an Italian physician, discovered that he could induce hallucinations
in the minds of highly suggestible individuals, and claimed to have detected
radiation from the mind.
His work, Radiating Brain, was translated in 1965 by the Foreign Technology
Division of the Wright Patterson Air Force in the United States. The Dutch physician,
W. A. G. van Everdingen made further progress during 1938-43. He observed that
microwave irradiation affected the heart action of the chicken embryo in relation
to its glycogen level. In 1946 J. E. Nyrop recorded specific effects on bacteria,
viruses and tissue cultures of exposure to short-pulsed EM radiation with the
heating effect deleted. These early pioneers in biological manipulation with
EM energy paved the way for a ne w era of more detailed research. It was not
until 1961 that the work of Dr. Alan H. Frey convinced the scientific community
that radio-frequency (RF) energy could indeed do more than heat a tissue culture.
Biological response to EM energy
Direct electrodes stimulation: it has long been known that direct stimulation
of the brain with electrodes will produce artifical reactions dependent upon
the region stimulated. Walter Hess, a Swiss physiologist and Nobel Prize winner,
was the first to pioneer the implantation of electric wires in animal brains
in order to record electrical activities. He found that the hypothalamus and
associated neural structures located in the rim of the brain stem, the limbic
system, controlled emotional and aggressive behaviour. It was also the site
of appetite, the focal point of sexual behaviour and was tied to the sense of
smell.
W. Penfield, a neuro-surgeon, took Hess' findings one step further. He used
electric currents to stimulate the cortex of his patients' brains while the
brains were exposed during surgery. The results were astounding. Epileptic patients
would experience complete episodes from their pasts, so real that it was as
if they were literally reliving them. If the same spot was stimulated twice,
the entire sequence would repeat itself from the beginning.
In 1960 Neider and Neff used direct electrical stimulation of the brain (ESB)
to produce auditory sensations in cats for the purposes of conditioning. They
pointed out that sounds are produced by direct stimulation of the b Ÿrain (ESB),
that sounds are a proven behavioural conditioning stimulus, and that the quality
of the sound improves in proportion to the depth of the electrical stimulus
in the cerebral cortex.
Radiesthesia is a term for the ability of humans to detect electromagnetic
energy. James Beal of NASA's Space Flight Centre, who studies the phenomenon,
believes that we are all tuned in. He believes that external energy may have
profound effects due to the fact that each cell, or neurone, is a tiny complex
electrical system. Robert O. Becker, a research orthopaedic surgeon at the State
University of New York, suggests that each neurone has the characteristics of
a semi-conductor, behaving as a transistor or solar cell. He believes that
the gial cells of the nervous system may actually act as liquid crystal in resonance
with surrounding energy fields. If this is true, the nervous system is capable
of magnifying electrical effects over a million times in amplititude. Becker
is convinced that the brain contains a middle structure with a stronger direct-current
field than the rest of the nervous system The intensity and perhaps the polarity
of this current directly influences consciousness. Animals' brainwave patterns
went from waking to comatose when Becker placed a magnetic field at the right
angle to the brain-stem. He then reversed the process. Becker applied direct
current to the frontal region of the brain and awoke chemically anaesthesised
animals.
Auditory response to RF energy
Allan H. Frey made the following astonishing announcement on April
24 1961 at the Aerospace Medical Association Meeting in Chicago: 'Our data to
date indicate that the human auditory system can respond to electromagentic
energy in at least a portion of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum. Futhermore,
this response is instantaneous and occurs at low power densities. Densities
which are well below that necessary for biological damage.'
Frey placed his subjects over 100 feet from a sweep antenna which they could
not see. There was no sound from the antenna. Yet they reported hearing a buzzing,
knocking sound each time the RF beam swept past them. The noise level was estimated
at 70 to 80 decibels (db), and ear-plugs allowed the subjects to hear the sound
more clearly. The sounds were the same in all cases, and always seemed to indicate
a noise just behind the head. Shielding studies showed that the temple areas
were criticial to RF sounds. When the temples were shielded the RF sound was
gone. There was no doubt that the responses were independent of the tympanic
membrane of the ear. A new form of communications, with immense implications
for the military, was discovered: direct communication to the brain by radio
waves. By 1961 experiments had proved that the effect and range of auditory
response to RF energy could reach thousands of feet. With appropriate modulation
of the carrier transmitter the RF energy could create all types of biological
effects on the targeted subject, including 'pins and needles' dizziness, nausea,
and vomiting.
The path had been cleared to replace the electrical stimulation of the brain
(ESB) using electrodes with RF energy. It was now possible to achieve results
similar to those achieved with ESB using radio waves.
The man from Manchuria
This discovery makes the creation of a Manchurian Candidate a reality.
For the pulse-modulated transmitters could also carry information placed on
the signal: it could be modulated to send words to the brain. An expendable
intelligence asset, programmed by remote hypnosis, in a post-hypnotic state,
could be activated by these means, to carry out orders directed to him or her
by-passing his or her consciousness. The hypnotic command the target obeyed
would be considered the target's own idea, originating within the target's self.
Such operations could be carried out on the basis of a 'timed hypnotic command'.
A hypnotist could order certain information to appear using RF means in the
hypnotised target's mind at a given time in the future. A similar effect could
be obtained when a hypnotic suggestion is made to be triggered by a word, a
picture or other signal.
Today it is known that brain waves carry data for the processing of information
in the brain. W. R. Adey believes that this data is digital coding imposed by
frequency modulation of the wave. There should be no fundamental difficulties
in transmitting brain waves into the brain of another person. For example, in
infrared transmission a highly concentrated beam is used for information transmission.
Information conveyed into the brain of a person in any of the above ways has
the effect of a sugg Bestion when the input takes place in a hypnotised state.
There are also means of blocking access to retrieve any such information. By
inducing amnesia in a person it is possible to disrupt, block, inhibit and reconnect
his or her conscious (mental) concatentations at will, and thus produce contrasting
effects which are of the highest value for later hypnotic commands.
Social and political implications
The radio wave energy used in most of the experiments is pulse-modulated
or CW microwave energy. It is the same type of RF used in radar techniques:
radar equipment is used in almost all of these experiments. J. H. Richter et
al explained that if a radar can detect a house-fly at 1km, it can detect a
man too. Radar range at 10cm wave-length - the type used in most of the lab
experiments - is over 25 miles. Ther Xefore it would be quite possible to trace
and target an individual's movements, within the radius of 25 miles. The same
technique could be applied to the same target using EM irradiation. Clearly
pronounced symptoms of microwave irradition are extreme fatigue; constant or
periodic headaches; irritabiity; sleep disruption; memory difficulties; pains
in the region of the heart intensifying after physical stress; laboured respiration;
decreased appetite; enlargement of the heart; and other heart problems. A US
State Department report by G. W. Biles suggests it is quite possible to induce
a heart attack in a person from a distance with radar, since radar uses the
same pulse-modulated UHF energy that Frey had used in some of his previous experiments
on isolated frog hearts.
Comment: What could happen
By 1974 Lawrence Pinneo, a neuro physiologist and electronic engineer
at Stanford Research Institute in Melano Park, California, had developed a computer
system capable of reading a person's mind. It correlated brain waves on an eletro-encephelograph
with specific commands. Twenty years ago the computer responded with a dot on
a TV screen. Nowadays it could be the input to a stimulator (ESB) in advanced
stages, using radio frequencies.
The concept of mind-reading computers is no longer science fiction.
Neither is their use by Big Brotherly governments. Major Edward Dames of Psi-Tech
said in April this year (1995) on NBC's 'The Other Side' programme: 'The US
Government has an electronic device which could implant thoughts in people'.
Dames would not comment any further.

stimulation of areas of the cerebral cortex has been successfully used as the
condition stimuli.'

Schapitz suggested the following experiment. 'Brain waves that have been produced
by drugs of known psychic effect are going to be registered on magnetic tape.
The recorded rhythms will then be modulated onto a microwave (or several beams
if there have been multiple tracings) and will thus be transmitted into the
brain of non-drugged subjects. Their state of mind will subsequently be investigated
by interview, psychological tests and by polygraph recordings. Thus it will
be determined whether non-drugged subjects are in the same state of mind as
the drugged subjects.' He even proposed to use similar microwave transmission
methods in transmitting the muscle movements of an individual to another targetted
