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.

I want to also comment that the existence and application of the Voice to skull projected sound technology requires revision to the DSMIV Psychiatric diagnostic coding manual. Presently, there is no provision for those subjected to artificially injected input that resembles forms of purely psychiatric/neurologically based symptomotologies. Within some areas of the mental health communities, there is an awareness that a new criteria needs to be defined to cover Voice to skull effects. This realization has been perculating through various therapists for some time now. I hope the revelations contained in this article prompts this action in the near future. I also hope that a mechanism for stopping this undesired input is also discovered for those who suffer from it. RBR, USA

Second, one has to consider the time and expense involved. Even if a government agency had developed a means of taunting individuals and eavesdropping on their thoughts, the sheer expense involved is mind boggling. Consider what youd have to do to harrass a single V2K sufferer. First, youd have to get the technology in place and within range of the subject assuming its even portable. Then, youd have to locate the individual spatially, in three dimensions, and probably at great distance. Then, youd have to maintain that lock on them while they moved around, and possibly while they drove long distances. Finally, youd have to have them under constant surveillance to ensure that it was working. Consider the maintainance costs for equipment, the manpower and time costs for surveillance, monitoring, and maintainance personnel. It costs millions of dollars a year to keep a simple army research lab with a couple of employees running for a year. Imagine the per-subject cost of maintaining that kind of apparatus for years or decades. It would be utterly unfeasable. Ultimately, it is far more likely that this represents either a previously-undiagnosed form of mental illness, or a variation on a documented one. The previous posters suggestion to perform more research on this phenomenon and amend the DSM-IV if necessary sounds reasonable, but given the numbers of people involved, it seems unlikely to happen.

RBR, yes it is unimaginable the per subject cost of maintaining this kind of abuse even as a TI its hard to conceive the expense, man power and willingness to do such a thing.every fiber of my being tries to rationalize a irrational thing,i find myself asking the question why me? dont you have familys or anything better to do than to mess with me? the answer would be no,atleast to the last part. let me say it does happen and has been happening to me for 12 years now. also your insight except for the previously-undiagnosed form of mental illness is pretty much on point. thank you for your open mind and your post. let me thank Sharon for the article too, the article had things i liked and some i didnt. all in all that would make it a success in my book. i might have mentioned that Joseph Sharp successfully demonstrated V2K decades ago. thank you again Sharon, were making steps in the right direction to exposing and freeing targets of this abuse. anyone wanting more information about this topic please feel free to visit , youll find plenty of info. and a number to the sat. night conference call. all who are interested are welcome to call in. or you can reach me at bobby16b416@hotmail.com RobertR.

Thank you for perhaps the only mainstream story in recent years that hasnt automatically ridiculed this subject, or the alleged victims. I feel victims of mind control are like victims of rape. Not all who claim to be victims are. But many are, and are not believed. They are the only ones who know it, and proving it is next to impossible. It is equally invasive and traumatic. So rather than laugh or deride these people or assume that they are crazy, I think a heavy dose of compassion is in order. It’s especially sad that the psychiatric profession teaches that voices in the head automatically signals craziness, when there is evidence that such technology is at least possible. Thank you for the work and the sense of respect you gave to these people. Whatever their problems, thank you for not making them worse, and hopefully opening a door for others to investigate.

Where is the comment that I posted about an hour ago? Julianne McKinney

By juliannemckinney | Jan 13, 2007 5:04:23 PM | Request Removal

Surely the Washington Post is not engaged in censorship. The comment that I posted well over an hour ago was 3,790 words in length spaces included, which was considerably less than 5,000-word limit imposed. Also, I employed no profanity and kept it entirely professional, as is my wont. What SEEMS to be the problem? Julianne McKinney

Since well over two hours have elapsed since I posted my Comment, and it is still not published, I will do it one or two paragraphs at a time. My first two paragraph follow: It is not so difficult to mount such surveillances, gaijinsamurai. These operations have been evolving for AT LEAST the past 45-50 years probably a variant of COINTELPRO in the United States, which never ended. All it takes is co-option of at least 20 percent of the population at ALL levels of society to facilitate these operations, which is standard procedure in any blossoming dictatorship. Given the 45-50 years that have elapsed, that in fact has been accomplished. Everything is tidily centralized now. Please see the next Comment for a continuation of this posting. Julianne McKinney

The next couple of paragraphs in my initial Comment are noted below, as a follow-up to the 6:56:46 PM posting: These are in fact global operations, as noted in Ms. Weinbergers article, so, the United States is not the only country involved. Contrary to what you might think, gaijinsamurai, portability has been achieved. DoD gives us a peek, from time to time, at some of their bulkier, battlefield variants of these technologies, so, its understandable that such conclusions might be drawn. What nobody seems to want to recognize is that industry and research-academia, as a minimum, have been given a free hand in fine-tuning these technologies for many decades, now.

The next couple of paragraphs in my initial Comment are noted below, as a follow-u7p to the 6:59:19 PM posting: The weapons are portable. They are linked to advanced computer systems and to a massive surveillance system that has been installed under your very noses without your even being aware of it. The weapons draw their power from existing power grids. Advanced physics are employed, and the current range of micro- and nano-technologies have been fully exploited. Check the Strom v. Boeing case for evidence of a successful tort claim against Boeing. Strom was being experimented on with electronic weapons while employed by Boeing, back in the late 80s.

At this point, it would appear that I am being censored, since I am commenting on just who appears to be behind these operations. I am not being allowed to post my brief entries. Julianne McKinney

One paragraph repeatedly redacted in determined fashion by the Washington Post, so far, so Ill skip it and move one. The following is a continuation from the preceding: Helpless, passive acquiescence is probably the extent of the governments involvement in these operations, unless you want to take token government funding into account. The government is entirely dependent upon industry and research-academia for the design, development, field testing and deployment of these systems. As to V2K otherwise referred to as microwave-induced auditory input, I appreciate Ms. Weinbergers noting that the abbreviation, V2K, is a DoD term, meaning voice to skull. If the technology didnt exist, one might ask, why did DoD bother to identify it as an existing technology with the term, V2K - voice-to-skull? Please see the following Comment for a continuation of this posting. Julianne McKinney

The following is a continuation of the foregoing Comment, ending so far with the 7:17:13 PM posting: The fact is, V2K is a very real technology. Its been around for at least the past 30 years. Check the early research done on this by Joseph Sharp and James C. Lin. I experienced it several years ago and found that it could be obstructed. Others havent been so fortunate. Thank you Ms. Weinberger for taking this major step in the right direction. We sincerely hope that, with your strong background in defense systems, as editor-in-chief of Defense Technology International, you will move beyond the personal-interest aspect of this very serious problem and begin an actual exploration of the technologies employed. I might add that, although this is for the most part a personal-interest article, the Washington Post has a tremendously-wide, global readership. Perhaps, as a result of the article, many thousands of your readers will recognize that what is addressed bears a remarkable similarity to what they, themselves, are experiencing. You may have saved some lives as a result. Thank you. Julianne McKinney

To bypass what I suspect is someones opposition to there being a link between these operations and practices at DoDs, um, interview centers overseas, I will edit the redacted paragraph, which follows the 7:01:11 PM posting: I personally have doubts that governments are in fact running these operations. DoD cant even properly manage and track its specialized contingent of contract, um, interviewers at, um, the aforementioned overseas interview centers. I frankly suspect that multinational corporations have been running these operations independently of any form of government control. After all, multinational corporations could buy out most national governments with petty cash, so, why SHOULD they be controlled? Julianne McKinney

The preceding is an example of how to bypass automated censorship. Julianne McKinney

To the Washington Post automated censor: So, do you think that mind control and electronic harassment are being employed at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo? What would be the objective? Turning alleged Al Quaida types into Candy Joneses? Using V2K to persuade these alleged terrorists of the reasons why they should shoot up Amish school girls? I will bet that these alleged terrorists are being subjected to electronic rape 24 hours per day, around the clock. What do you think? Julianne McKinney

Ms. Weinberger: Some months ago, I provided you with very explicit and VERIFIABLE information email and telephone showing without doubt that: - Dr. Joseph Sharps voice to skull has been in the public domain since 1974 or 1975, depending on whether you consider the University of Utah seminar in 1974 or the article in the March 1975 issue of the American Psychologist journal as the date on which the technology became available to the public - I gave you the link to the American Psychologist article: raven1 dot net/v2succes dot htm - I explained that the article shows in detail how voice to skull works, and that it is conceptually simple, being just a primitive version of digital audio - That the principle can be demonstrated with a common, inexpensive 555 timer chip on a workbench by anyone familiar with basic electronic technology - That anyone with an upper middle class income can acquire through the wall microwave voice to skull technology with relative ease My question is, why did you ignore that solid, independently verifiable information and instead, talk only about U.S. Air Force predictions? When the technology has been around for over three decades now? Dont you think this would have been a much fairer and more balanced presentation to the readers? Dont you think this would help those of us afflicted with electronic harassment not necessarily government harassment better than making it sound as if voice to skull technology is just some discovery that may or may not come about? Im sure, if not the readers, then the thousands of targets of this non-stop electronic harassment would appreciate your explanation. Eleanor White, P.Eng.

Since the technology involved against the TIs Targeted Individuals are invisible and mimic some symptoms of psychosis, its sometimes difficult to distinguish what individuals are really being targeted by the Perpetrators. I know for a fact though that I am a TI and that the electromagnetic technology that I am experiencing have been in full deployment for many years now. From my own experience, this is what the Perps are capable of:They can track you and zap your head brain with electromagnetic invisible, penetrating beams and control head movement, eye movement, disrupt speech, induce thoughts, induce voice-to-skull communication, induce words into your talking, make you sleepy, keep you awake, make you hungry, suppress your appetite, cause you to become confused and disorientated, make you dizzy, disrupt movement of your extremities, control sex, sexual appetite, orgasms, etc. They can track you and zap you with electromagnetic invisible, penetrating beams and cause you to itch or burn or feel pain, disrupt the normal function in organs, cause changes in growing fetuses, retard normal growth in children, make changes to how a person looks and feels, etc. They can use satellites see into and through any building from space and follow you anywhere you go. Many people find this hard to believe but its their bread-and-butter operation and its why I cant get away from them and hide. This capability, combined with the capability to track and zap you with space-to-ground electromagnetic, invisible, penetrating beams, makes them almost invincible to an outside attack. This is why they are so arrogant. Also, they can be thousands of mile away and still attack you anywhere on the planet. Because of the delay and response times and because they have tracked me in different countries, I believe the satellites are low orbiting and cover the entire globe. The global positioning satellites may house these weapons.
