The Abstract episode 39 “A History of Psychotronic Weaponry”

By Peter A. Kirby

The remote, physical manipulation of humans is another scientific area that holds tremendous potential (good or bad) for life on this planet, but is recognized little and understood even less. It should be recognized and understood though because devices that can control our moods, thoughts and bodily functions remotely are within striking distance of every one of us all day every day. These devices are known as ‘psychotronic weapons.’ The most common devices capable of being used as psychotronic weapons today are your cellular phone as well as any wireless, Internet-connected device, but these types of signals can also hit their targets from thousands of miles away. This article seeks to enlighten the public as it documents the undeniable reality of psychotronic weaponry as evidenced by its long, detailed history.

Experiments in this area have always started with animals. As far back as 1791 Luigi Galvani (1737-1798) caused the leg muscle of a frog to contract when stimulated by electricity. In 1870 Gustav Fritsch (1838-1927) and Eduard Hitzig (1838-1907) caused localized body and limb movements in a dog with electrical stimulation of the brain.

The first momentous development pertaining to humans was the invention of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in 1924. With foundational support from many others, it was finally invented by the German scientist Hans Berger (1873-1941).

In 1932 the Swiss psychologist W.R. Hess (1881-1973) evoked well organized motor effects and emotional reactions in cats by stimulation of their diencephalon (a region of the brain). To accomplish this, very fine wires were implanted in the cats’ brains.

Around 1953 Dr. John Lilly (1915-2001) was using something known as electronic brain stimulation (ESB) to map monkeys’ brains. Let’s reference a passage from the classic The Search for the “Manchurian Candidate” by John Marks:

“In 1953 [Dr. John] Lilly worked at the National Institutes of Health, outside Washington, doing experimental studies in an effort to ‘map’ the body functions controlled from various locations in the brain. He devised a method of pounding up to 600 tiny sections of hypodermic tubing into the skulls of monkeys, through which he could insert electrodes ‘into the brain to any desired distance and at any desired location from the cortex down to the bottom of the skull,’ he later wrote. Using electric stimulation, Lilly discovered precise centers of the monkey’s brains that caused pain, fear, anxiety and anger. He also discovered precise, separate parts of the brain that controlled erection, ejaculation and orgasm in male monkeys.”

By 1954 neurophysicist Jose Delgado (1915-2011) was part of a group of scientists causing learning, conditioning, instrumental responses, pain and pleasure to be either evoked or inhibited by electrical stimulation of the brain in rats, cats and monkeys. This was again accomplished by wires physically implanted in the brain and directly connected to the source of the impulses.

By the next year Delgado was evoking, modifying and inhibiting aggression, dominance, mounting and other social interactions among cats and monkeys with radio stimulation of specific areas of the brain. The subjects’ brains were implanted with electrodes, but these electrodes were not directly connected to the source of the electrical impulses. The electrical impulses were sent through the air from the source to a transceiver mounted on the subject’s skull which in turn sent electrical impulses into the subject’s brain.

In the mid-1960s, UCLA’s Brain Research Institute was studying the effects of electromagnetic fields upon human behavior. Referencing this research, the eminent University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) geophysicist Gordon J.F. MacDonald (1929-2002) wrote that, “…one could develop a system that would seriously impair brain performance in very large populations in selected regions over an extended period.”

In 1968, as part of the Central Intelligence Agency’s MKSEARCH (the successor to MKULTRA), electrodes were implanted in the brains of Vietnamese prisoners of war. The electrical impulses sent to their brains were designed to make them attack each other.

In 1969 the book Physical Control of the Mind: Toward a Psychocivilized Society by José Delgado is published. In this book the author writes of electrically stimulating humans’ brains by implanted electrodes. This induced pleasure, aggression, rage, anxiety, fear, relief, obsessive/compulsive behavior, friendliness, relaxation, euphoria, sadness, depression, emotional outbursts, inhibition, willingness, sleepiness, pleasant dreams, an inability to speak, laughter, complex hallucinations, recollections, illusions, déjà vu, increased conversation – all kinds of stuff. Delgado’s work in this area, as we can see from this timeline, actually started in the early 1950s.

The late 1960s was an important time in the development of wireless psychotronic weaponry. Let us quote from Walter Bowart’s classic Operation Mind Control:

“By the late 1960s, the ‘remote control’ of the human brain – accomplished without the implantation of electrodes – was well on its way to being realized.

“A research and development team at the Space and Biology Laboratory of the University of California at the Los Angeles Brain Research Institute found a way to stimulate the brain by creating an electrical field completely outside the head. Dr. W. Ross Adey stimulated the brain with electric pulse levels which were far below those thought to be effectual in the old implanting technique.”

In 1974 the book ELF and VLF Electromagnetic Field Effects edited by Dr. Michael Persinger (1945-2018) was published. This book references and details many studies conducted with animals and humans pertaining to physiological and biochemical changes associated with electromagnetic (EM) fields in the extremely low frequency (ELF) and very low frequency (VLF) ranges. Dr. Persinger writes that ELF signals are preferable because they, “…have the capacity to penetrate structures which house living organisms.” He’s writing about hitting people inside of buildings with psychotronic weapons!

In 1974 electronic brain stimulation (ESB) was being used on humans experimentally in order to treat Parkinson’s disease. Let us quote again from Bowart’s Operation Mind Control:

“In 1974, the first victim of Parkinson’s disease treated by ESB walked gracefully out of a San Francisco hospital under his own power, thanks to portable ESB. He had a ‘stimoceiver’ implanted in his brain which he could activate from a battery-powered device in his belt. The ‘stimoceiver,’ which weighed only a few grams and was small enough to implant under his scalp, permitted both remote stimulation of his brain and the instantaneous telemetric recording of his brain waves.”

By the next year, 1975, scientists at the Stanford Research Institute were developing a ‘mind-reading machine.’ We reference Operation Mind Control once again:

“In 1975 a primitive ‘mind-reading machine’ was tested at the Stanford Research Institute. The machine is a computer which can recognize a limited amount of words by monitoring a person’s silent thoughts. This technique relies upon the discovery that brain wave tracings taken with an electroencephalograph (EEG) show distinctive patterns that correlate with individual words – whether the words are spoken aloud or merely subvocalized (thought of).

“The computer initially used audio equipment to listen to the words the subject spoke. (At first the vocabulary was limited to ‘up,’ ‘down,’ ‘left,’ and ‘right.’) At the same time the computer heard the words, it monitored the EEG impulses coming from electrodes pasted to the subject’s head and responded by turning a camera in the direction indicated. After a few repetitions of the procedure, the computer’s hearing was turned off and it responded solely to the EEG ‘thoughts.’ It moved a television camera in the directions ordered by the subject’s thoughts alone!

“This ‘mind-reading machine’ was the creation of psychologist Lawrence Pinneo and computer experts Daniel Wolf and David Hall. Their stated goal was eventually to put a highly skilled computer programmer into direct communication with the computer.”

In 1976 U.S. patent #3,951,134 “Apparatus and Method for Remotely Monitoring and Altering Brain Waves” was granted. This patent speaks to a method and apparatus which remotely entrains human brains. Brain entrainment is a process by which the targeted individual’s brain waves are firstly scanned to determine the frequency of the EM his or her brain is currently producing. Then that same frequency produced by the targeted individual’s brain is produced by the psychotronic weapon and directed at the targeted individual. Once the targeted individual’s brain waves have been synchronized with the EM produced by the psychotronic weapon, the frequency produced by the psychotronic weapon is then gradually altered. Due to the established synchronization, as the EM produced by the psychotronic weapon is gradually altered, the targeted individual’s brain waves will follow. In this process the targeted individual’s brain activity is altered to a desired state.

Brain entrainment is a process fundamental to achieving psychotronic mind control. The other most common method is to simply hammer a targeted individual with overwhelmingly powerful mind control signals.

In 1978 a book titled Microwave Auditory Effects and Applications by James C. Lin was published. This book revealed the method of what is known as ‘voice-to-skull’ technology. ‘Voice-to-skull’ refers to a device which can transmit an electronic signal directly into a subject’s brain that causes the individual to hear things that no one else can hear. Most commonly voice-to-skull signals cause individuals to hear human voices, thus the name.

Extremely relevant to our discussion here is the CIA’s Operation PIQUE. As noted in the book Controlling the Human Mind by Dr. Nick Begich, by 1978 the CIA had developed a psychotronic weapon that was capable of bouncing, “high powered radio signals off the ionosphere to affect the mental functions of people in selected areas, including Eastern European nuclear installations.”

In 1980 the aforementioned Dr. Michael Persinger’s book The Weather Matrix and Human Behavior was published. Describing humans as ‘a large antenna’ and noting that ELF fields have ‘a 99 percent capacity to penetrate most surface dwellings,’ Persinger writes about the ability to effectively apply ELF fields from ‘hundreds of kilometers’ away. He then proceeds to write about the effect of ELF fields upon specific organs and human bodily systems such as: the hypothalamus region of the brain, the blood, the bones, the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and cell membranes. Persinger describes the Human body as a ‘biological homeostat’ that has predictable responses to different inputs.

In a 1981 paper titled “ELF Electric Field Coupling to Dielectric Spheroidal Models of Biological Objects” researchers wrote of coupling ELF electrical fields with the human body. They mention that the Navy’s Seafarer antenna at Clam Lake would be suitable for this purpose.

1989’s U.S. patent #4,877,027 “Hearing System” further defined voice-to-skull technology. Many other patents, papers and reports have made voice-to-skull (also known as the ‘Frey effect’) a well known method of psychotronic mind control. Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have more recently announced that they can transmit audible messages to individuals with the use of lasers.

A United States patent granted in 1990 titled “Cryogenic Remote Sensing Physiograph” further detailed an apparatus and method for remotely scanning people’s brain waves. This is significant because, as noted earlier, the process of brain entrainment (a fundamental process of psychotronic assault) begins with remotely reading the brain waves of a targeted individual.

A U.S. patent granted in 1998 titled “Thermal Excitation of Sensory Resonances” describes a method and apparatus for using directed microwave radiation or a laser beam to produce certain effects in humans. The patent explains that, “sleepiness, drowsiness, relaxation, a tonic smile, ptosis of the eyelids, the feeling of a ‘knot’ in the stomach, sudden loose stool, and sexual excitement” can all be artificially induced in humans using this technique.

The 2000 U.S. patent “Subliminal Acoustic Manipulation of Nervous Systems” describes how subliminal audio signals (rather than EM signals) can be used in the context of psychotronic weaponry. The inventor describes how subliminal audio signals can cause a person to feel relaxed, drowsy, sexually excited, or disoriented. The inventor writes that these subliminal audio signals can be produced by a portable, battery-powered device. The inventor also writes that a device generating these signals is, “a nonlethal weapon that can be used in law enforcement standoff situations, for causing drowsiness and disorientation in targeted subjects.”

The 2003 U.S. patent “Nervous System Manipulation by Electromagnetic Fields from Monitors” describes how computer monitors and television sets can produce weak fields of electromagnetic energy that subliminally affect a person’s nervous system. The inventor writes that, “The observed effects include ptosis of the eyelids, relaxation, drowsiness, the feeling of pressure at a centered spot on the lower edge of the brow, seeing moving patterns of dark purple and greenish yellow with the eyes closed, a tonic smile, a tense feeling in the stomach, sudden loose stool, and sexual excitement, depending on the precise frequency used, and the skin area to which the field is applied.”

“Nervous System Manipulation by Electromagnetic Fields from Monitors” makes what Dr. Michael Aquino wrote in his 2013 book Mind War all the more interesting. Mind War details how we can be mind controlled by all Internet connected devices. He writes, “BWR [mind control frequencies] can, for instance, be inserted into the Internet to be passively and indetectably (absent such sensors) received and radiated by any accessing device, from television station to desktop computer or cellular telephone.” Dr. Michael Aquino should know. Although he is now retired, he was a Lt. Colonel, Psychological Operations, First Special Forces Regiment in the U.S. Army.

Some mainstream media articles have more recently confirmed the reality of psychotronic weaponry. In October of 2019, The Guardian published an article about how individuals’ minds can be read electronically. Also, in late 2018, in many articles, the use of psychotronic weapons was suspected in a series of attacks upon the United States Embassy in Cuba.

This is just a preliminary investigation. Your author hasn’t dug deeper into the archival documents yet. Rest assured that there is much more searching and compiling to be done. The end product will be a forthcoming book tentatively titled Physical Control: Psychotronic Weapons Used Routinely Against Americans. Physical Control will be a more comprehensive examination of the subject including expositions of delivery systems, targeted individuals and much more. Physical Control will most probably be available in the first half of next year (2025). Please stay tuned.
