MEDIA GROUP, Plaintiff's, appearing pro se, and In Forma Pauperis, do hereby file a Preliminary
Emergency Injunction for Relief according to Pa. R. Civ. P. 1531(a) on this 17th day of August
2015.
In determining whether a preliminary or special injunction should be granted and whether
notice or a hearing should be required, the court may act on the basis of the averments of the
pleadings or petition and may consider affidavits of parties or third persons or any other proof
which the court may require. Pa. R. Civ. P. 1531(a). The decision whether or not to grant a hearing
on an emergency injunction is therefore left to the sound discretion of the court; the mere filing of
a motion by the plaintiff does not automatically entitle him to a hearing.

Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 126 Liberal Construction and Application of Rules, which states "the
rules shall be liberally construed to secure the just, speedy and inexpensive determination of every
action or proceeding to which they are applicable. The court at every stage of any such action or
proceeding may disregard any error or defect of procedure which does not affect the substantial
rights of the parties.

Surveillance, FFCHS in 2009, and in cited in various state and federal court cases over the past
several years.
Attacks causing severe artificial pain most likely from Directed Energy Devices
synchronized with telepathic harassment and organized stalking and harassment have been
logged and reported to law enforcement and medical professionals since 2008.
Prior to 2008
the attacks were experienced and reported to medical professionals but the sources were not

concerning a wealth of subjects including ISC/CIA Knowledge.
continuous conversations at all times with one female person. The handlers know everything I
know and experience in real time. During 2006 and 2007 have been telepathic with some 10 or
more persons, both male and female for short durations. Can recall most conversations and
subject matter with identities of who they said they were. Interrogation type harassment is still
being used telepathically to harass and for some sleep deprivation. Made first complaints to
DARPA, the FBI, and U.S. Senator Arlen Specter in 2007. Some conversations by the persons
that are telepathic with me elude to some program similar to the DARPA datalog program
where they record your entire life.

mobbing. Complaints have been filed in 1987; 1992;1998 and 2005 to 2010. Complaints were
made to various public officials and local, state, and federal agencies as mental duress. The
terms organized stalking, gang stalking, targeted individual, etc., was not learned until a few
years ago. The organized stalking and harassment followed in several states, some while
traveling from Lancaster, Pennsylvania to California. Tracking technologies may have been used
and most likely are still being used. Police were involved in most places.

charges dismissed and again for some 60 days in 2006 with all charges dismissed. The 60 Days
of imprisonment of 2006 was triggered with a false report of missing a bail supervision meeting,
which was confirmed to be false in court; however bail was maliciously and purposefully
reinstated as secured instead of unsecured. The appropriate appeal was filed which secured my
release after some 60 days of false imprisonment. There were no charges that resulted in any
convictions.

EXHIBITS
AFFIDAVIT
I, Stanley J. Caterbone, Targeted Individual or TI, residing at: 1250 Fremont Street,
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 17603, do hereby state that I am at least 18 years of age, that I am
a citizen or a legal resident of the United States of America, that I am of sound mind, and that I
am the person whose signature follows on this Affidavit. The purpose of this document is (1) to
advise Congress as well as state and local officials of organized stalking and electronic and mind
manipulation torture being committed against me and (2) to request a state, local, or
Congressional investigation and hearing on the use of remotely-operated directed energy attacks
and mind control technologies on Americans in this country.
Our Government is responsible for protecting its citizens from elements that
covertly harass, torment, murder, and cause victims to commit suicide through
organized stalking and remote electronic torture. Yet, unbiased research indicates that
certain elements of Government either engage in these activities or protect those who perform
them. I seek the complete dismantling of any officially-sanctioned covert Government torture
programs, the passage of legislation specifically outlawing that high-tech torture, and the full
prosecution of any person, regardless of his rank or position, who has violated my civil rights and
my most basic human rights. The assaults on my mind and body have been occurring for 24
year(s) and include, but are not limited to the following victimization's:
1.
2.
Invading my thoughts via remote sensing technologies. Was sent an autonomous
email in 1998 introducing the term remote viewing. Various technologies and tactics are being
used to create emotional signatures that induce various emotional states; a systematic complete
hacking of my mind.
3.
Making me mentally hear others' voices through the microwave hearing effect.
Synthetic and/or Mental Telepathy. First started to experience telepathy/synthetic telepathy
in 2005 with full-time 24/7 connection during the same time to present. When full-time telepathy
started a male conducted interrogations lasting several hours at a time concerning a wealth of
subjects including ISC/CIA Knowledge. Cannot disconnect from continuous conversations at all
times with one female person. The handlers know everything I know and experience in real time.
During 2006 and 2007 have been telepathic with some 10 or more persons, both male and female
for short durations. Can recall most conversations and subject matter with identities of who they
said they were. Interrogation type harassment is still being used telepathically to harass and for
some sleep deprivation. Made first complaints to DARPA, the FBI, and U.S. Senator Arlen Specter
in 2007. Some conversations by the persons that are telepathic with me elude to some program
similar to the DARPA datalog program where they record your entire life. Everything that you try
to do on a daily basis is subject matter for conversation and harassment. Interference with
thought, harassment, and interrogation is used often times with electromagnetic weapon attacks
to the brain or body.
4.
Depriving me of sleep due to neurological intervention. Mostly Experienced Sleep
Deprivation Techniques during periods of time in 2008 to 2010. Mostly with attacks of pain from
Directed Energy Weapons to back, neck, head (brain); and heart on a few occasions; and with
harassment from telepathy.
5.
Introducing poisonous gas and radiation toxins into my home. First experienced
toxic gases (Chloroform?) in heavy doses in 2006-2007. Made complaints to the Lancaster City
Police Department and the Southern Regional Police. Experienced attacks that would cause
dizziness at home, in automobile and in public. Was informed it was being released through a
distribution system the size of fishing line. To counter attacks used cotton in nostrils and gas
mask. In 2009 experienced attacks of what is said to be sleeping gas, when attacked could not
open eyes. Took Pictures during some attacks.
6.
Having me stalked en masse on foot and in vehicles. vandalizing my home and/or
car. Gang Stalking or Organized Stalking began in 1987 and continues today. It includes
strangers using gestures such as finger under eye; various forms of harassment; and public
mobbing. Complaints have been filed in 1987; 1992;1998 and 2005 to 2010. Complaints were
made to various public officials and local, state, and federal agencies as mental duress. The terms
organized stalking, gang stalking, targeted individual, etc., was not learned until a few years ago.
The organized stalking and harassment followed in several states, some while traveling from
Lancaster, Pennsylvania to California. Tracking technologies may have been used and most likely
are still being used. Police were involved in most places.
7.
8.
Blacklisting me in the labor market. Filed complains of employment discrimination with
the Pennsylvania Attorney General in 2006 and the Lancaster County Human Relations
Commission in 2008.
9.
10. Public Mobbing. Public type mobbing and organized stalking and harassment was
perpetrated heavily in the years 2005 to 2010 in the following places: The Lancaster County
Courthouse, The Lancaster County Public Library, the Pennsylvania Career Link, and the Millersville
University Library and University Offices. I was given suspicious and illegal No Trespass Notices
in some 18 public places in Lancaster County in the years 2005 to 2009 without just cause. I was
complaining of stalking and harassing in most all of those public places. The Lancaster County
Public Library and the Millersville University took away my access to a computer after my personal
computers were vandalized and/or hacked inoperable. Fulton Bank took away my safe deposit
box. Others included my church of worship, various bars and restaurants and one attorneys office.
Complaints have been filed regarding the same in courts and with various authorities.

Illegal Entries of Home/Properties. First in 1987 in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, then
again in 1991; 1997-1998; and most serious in 2005 to 2010. Filed Police Reports and insurance
claims, most with the Southern Regional Police Department of Conestoga, Pennsylvania , State

1991 and 2008.
30.
Manipulation and Theft of Documents. Numerous thefts and manipulation of all legal
and business documents both in paper and in electronic format have occurred since 1987.
Microfiche/Microfilming began in 1987 and other measures to secure documents have been
ongoing to present. Numerous complaints have been filed with law enforcement since 1987.
Statement: I have been a Targeted Individual, TI, and Victim since 1987. In 1987 I blew the
whistle (public Allegations and Complaints to State and Federal Authorities of Fraud during merger
negotiations with British Defense Contractor Ferranti International) on an international defense
contractor named International Signal & Control, or ISC, who was selling arms (Everything from
Telemetry Systems to Cluster Bombs) to Iraq via South Africa and was convicted of a $1 Billion
dollar Fraud in 1992 by the United States Attorney and several other federal agencies. See
ABC/News 20/20 and Nightline in 1991. They were founded and headquartered in my hometown
of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I was a shareholder and was solicited by a top ISC Executives

through an affiliate called United Chem Con. ISC was a Department of Defense (DOD) Contractor
and a partner with United States Intelligence Agencies since it's beginnings in the early 1970's.
One of it's first contracts was Project X with the National Security Agency or NSA of Ft. Meade,
Maryland. Former Secretary of the Navy, Bobby Ray Inman was on the Board of Directors of ISC
and was also on the Board of Directors of Science Applications International Corporation, or SAIC.
SAIC was a huge defense contractor that was the recipient of the Defense Intelligence Agency, or
DIA, program on Remote Viewing, which SAIC named Project Stargate. It was reported that
Bobby Ray Inman declined the nomination for Secretary of Defense under the first Clinton
Administration because of the ISC and Trecor scandals. In the early 1990's I was a subcontractor
on a project for the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, or DARPA, with the National
Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST called TIMIT.
The project developed speech
corpora for the development of computer based speech recognition systems. I was also involved
in the bidding of other Department of Defense contracts dealing with information technologies. In
1998 I was stalked and approached by an employee of the National Security Agency, or NSA in
York, Pennsylvania who said my problems were not with the NSA, but the good ole boys. In
2005 I was detained by 2 Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA officers in a museum on a military
base in Austin, Texas and was questioned and interviewed regarding my civil actions filed in
federal court for several hours. I was released and told to stay off of all military bases. My
brother, a Family Physician in Austin Texas had to verify my travel plans and the fact that I was
staying with him prior to my release.
My father alleged he was part of U.S. Navy experiments in the 1940's and experienced
synthetic telepathy in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's as outlined in memos and documents he had
authored; and from my personal conversations with him prior to his death. Ms. Amy Fuchs of the
Disclosure Project confirmed that he was most likely given an ET experience via synthetic
telepathy. He died in 2001 in New York City of cancer. My brother was in the U.S. Air Force in the
late 1960's and I allege was a victim of the LSD experiments relating to MKULTRA in the late
1960's and a victim of murder (Suspicious Suicide with tainted medical reports) in Santa Barbara
California in 1984; Notarized Complaints were filed to the California Attorney General in 1991. He
made a declaration type statement prior to his death that he got bad LSD while in the U.S. Air
Force.
Organized stalking and harassment began in 1987 following the public allegations of fraud
within ISC. As far back as the late 1980's I thought that my mind was being read, or "remotely
viewed". During the times that legal Counsel and attorneys were solicited in 1987, 1991, and
1997 Organized Stalking and Harassment and other forms of attacks experienced by Targeted
Individuals were severely increased. In 2005 the U.S. sponsored mind control turned into an allout assault of mental telepathy; synthetic telepathy; and pain and torture through the use of
directed energy devices and/or electromagnetic weapons. This assault was no coincidence in that
it began simultaneously with the filing of the federal action in U.S. District Court, of CATERBONE v.
Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or 05-cv-2288.
This targeting has ruined every aspect of my life.
Some Perspectives
The calculated and technological entry into another persons mind is an act of monumental barbarism which obliterates perhaps with the twiddling of a dial the history and civilization of
mans mental development. It is more than an abuse of human rights, it is the destruction of
meaning. For anyone who is forced into the hell of living with an unseen mental rapist, the effort
to stay sane is beyond the scope of tolerable endurance. The imaginative capacity of the ordinary
mind cannot encompass the horror of it. We have attempted to come to terms with the experiments of the Nazis in concentration camps. We now have the prospect of systematic control authorized by men who issue instructions through satellite communications for the destruction of
societies while they are driving new Jaguars and Mercedes, and going to the opera.
"On the Need for New Criteria of Diagnosis of Psychosis in the Light of Mind Invasive
Technology"by Carole Smith
Global Research, October 18, 2007; Journal of Psycho-Social Studies, 2003.
People have no comprehension of how lethal only one aspect (aside from the obvious of driving
the victim completely insane) of telepathy technology can be in disrupting and ruining an individual's life through the sabotaging of his/her daily activities. Everything an individual does begins
with a momentary thought. From the split second that thought is learned by the person on the
other end (telepathically) - the individual's right to privacy is not the real threat or loss. The real
lethal weapon is the advantage in disrupting or preventing the individual from accomplishing
whatever he/she is going to do before they actually do it. With a simple cell phone call or instant
message, the Advanced Team is in place to subvert; sabotage; manipulate; propagandize;
smear; disrupt; or even prevent the task or activity from being accomplished in any successful
manner. The perps are skilled at creating scenarios that are covertly arranged to simulate everyday occurrences to make the victim at fault for the loss or failure. Imagine the consequences
when these activities have legal and financial implications. With telepathy technology the need for
tracking and surveillance technology is greatly diminished and may even become obsolete. This is
not merely Mind Invasive Technology, as Carole Smith so eloquently wrote this is LIFE Invasive Technology. Say Goodbye to any true sense of capitalism and free enterprise in the not to
distant future unless of course someone stops these illegal and disastrous technology transfers
and leaks.

Organized or Gang Stalking
A system of organized psychological terror tactics used against a person who has become an enemy of an individual or a government. Subtle but effective techniques of stalking by multiple individuals and psychological intimidation and manipulation are used to slowly but surely drive the
target to make complaints to authorities who will see the complaints as bogus because of the
methods used against the target. As a result, the target gets labeled as mentally ill.
There are as many stalking tactics as there are targets as the multistalkers will tailor the stalking
to the individuals habits and individual personality. Some common examples or organized stalking
are: following the target on foot, by car and public transportation, crowding the target's space in a
public place, murmuring insults under the breath so only the target can hear, sitting in the car
outside the target's residence, starting "fights" in public with the target, doing "skits" on the
street which involves information only the target should know but has been found out via surveillance of the target, stealing and vandalism of the target's possessions.
Organized Stalking Website
Organized Stalking is a form of terrorism used against an individual in a malicious attempt to
reduce the quality of a persons life so they will: have a nervous break-down, become incarcerated, institutionalized, experience constant mental, emotional, or physical pain, become homeless, and/or commit suicide. This is done using well-orchestrated accusations, lies, rumors, bogus
investigations, setups, framings, intimidation, overt or covert threats, vandalism, thefts, sabotage, torture, humiliation, emotional terror and general harassment. It is a ganging up by members of the community who follow an organizer and participate in a systematic terrorizing of an
individual. Mark M. Rich

Important Matters
Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) due to their relationships with
ISC, and of course my very public condemnation of the fraud. I dont know if any of your
agents have any experience with this type of situation, but there are definitely National Security
issues that may need to be addressed. There are persons that can actually eaves drop on this
type of communication, and I am constantly being question on matters related to ISC, and other
foreign affairs. My knowledge of the Middle East is quite extensive, and there is always the
possibility for someone to glean information for illegitimate reasons.
In the past few weeks I have downloaded a declassified document dump from the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA) that contained hundreds of bibliographies from the Soviet Union
dating as far back as the 1930s regarding this subject. It appears that they have more
knowledge and expertise than the United States. This brings me to a disclosure that may or
may not be concerning. Over the past several months I have had two contacts and intimate
conversation with an 80-year-old Russian immigrant regarding my problem. She seemed to be
knowledgeable of the subject matter and made several disclosures, which may or not be true.
She said that she was a Psychologist with a Doctorate degree and a former employee of the
Pennsylvania State University System. She also disclosed that her former husband was
imprisoned and tortured by the KGB.
I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,

PRESS RELEASE
Saturday, July 4, 2015
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Advanced Media Group and Stan J. Caterbone Proposed ORGANIZED
STALKING AND DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS HARASSMENT BILL to Pennsylvania House of
Representative Mike Sturla (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) and City of Lancaster Mayor Richard Gray.
The draft legislation is the work of Missouri House of Representative Jim Guest, who has been
working on helping victims of these horrendous crimes for years. The bill will provide protections to
individuals who are being harassed, stalked, harmed by surveillance, and assaulted; as well as
protections to keep individuals from becoming human research subjects, tortured, and killed by
electronic frequency devices, directed energy devices, implants, and directed energy weapons.
Stan J. Caterbone has been a victim of organized stalking since 1987 and a victim of electronic and
direct energy weapons since 2005. He has also been telepathic since 2005. Stan J. Caterbone will
help introduce measures that also pertain to remote viewing; mental telepathy and synthetic
telepathy in more detail. Personal accounts of his pain and torture are also filed in various United
States federal and state courts.
We are urging you to contact your local representatives and support our efforts to pass this
legislation. Below you will find the listings of Pennsylvania State Representatives.

_________________________________________________
The draft of the legislation can be found on the following page:
Page 1
Section 1. Short Title This bill may be cited as the Organized Stalking and Directed Energy Devices and Weapons
Bill
Section 2. Findings and Purpose
A) Findings
1) The constitution guarantees the right of the people to be secure in their person. The Declaration
of Independence asserts as self-evident that all men have certain inalienable rights and that among
these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
2) As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis wrote in 1928, the framers of the Constitution sought
"to protect Americans in their beliefs, their thoughts, their emotions, and their sensations." It is for
this reason that they established, as against the government, the right to be let alone as "the most
comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men.
3) The first principle of the Nuremberg Code states that with respect to human research, the
voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. The Nuremberg Code further
asserts that such consent must be competent, informed, and comprehending.
4)There are current regulations implementing the obligations of the United States to adhere to
Article 3 of the United Nations Convention Against Torture and other Forms of Cruel, Inhumane or
Degrading Treatment including all terms that are Subject to any reservations, understandings,
declarations, and provisions contained in the United States Senate resolution of ratification of the
Convention.
B) Purpose
To establish regulations and penalties for those who use any type of electronic frequency devices,
directed energy devices, implants, surveillance technology, and directed energy weapon to
purposefully cause any of the following: stalking, harassing, mental or physical harm, injury,
harmful surveillance, torture, diseases, and death to any United States citizen.
Section 3. Organized Stalking
If two or more persons willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly follow or willfully and maliciously
harass another person and who make a credible threat with the intent to place that person in
reasonable fear for his or her safety, or the safety of his or her immediate family, they are guilty of
the crime of organized stalking, punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one
year, or by not more than one thousand dollars ($ 1,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment,
or by imprisonment in a federal prison.
If two or more persons violate subdivision (a) when there is a temporary restraining order,
injunction, or any other court order in effect prohibiting the behavior described in subdivision (a)
against the same party, they shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three,
or four years.
For the purposes of this section, "harass" means engages in a knowing and willful course of
conduct directed at a specific person that seriously alarms, annoys, torments, or terrorizes the
person, or damages his personal property or possessions and that serves no legitimate purpose. *
**
Page 2
For the purposes of this section, "course of conduct" means two or more acts occurring over a
period of time, however short, evidencing a continuity of purpose. Constitutionally protected
activity is not included within the meaning of "course of conduct."
For the purposes of this section, "credible threat" means a verbal or written threat, including that
performed through the use of an electronic communication device, or a threat implied by a pattern
of conduct or a combination of verbal, written, or electronically communicated statements and
conduct, made with the intent to place the person that is the target of the threat in reasonable fear
for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family, or personal property or possessions and
made with the apparent ability to carry out the threat so as to cause the person who is the target
of the threat to reasonably fear for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family or personal
property or possessions. It is not necessary to prove that the defendant had the intent to actually
carry out the threat. The present incarceration of a person making the threat shall not be a bar to
prosecution under this section. Constitutionally protected activity is not included within the
meaning of "credible threat."
For purposes of this section, the term "electronic communication device" includes, but is not limited
to, telephones, cellular phones, computers, video recorders, fax machines, pagers or synthetic
telepathy devices.
The sentencing court also shall consider issuing an order restraining the defendant from any
contact with the victim, that may be valid for up to 10 years, as determined by the court. It is the
intent of the Legislature that the length of any restraining order be based upon the seriousness of
the facts before the court, the probability of future violations, and the safety of the victim and his
or her immediate family.
For purposes of this section, "immediate family" means any spouse, parent, child, any person
related by consanguinity or affinity within the second degree, or any other person who regularly
resides in the household, or who, within the prior six months, regularly resided in the household.
Section 4. Punishment for threats
Any person or persons who willfully threatens to commit a crime which will result in death or great
bodily injury to another person, with the specific intent that the statement, made verbally, in
writing, or by means of an electronic communication device, is to be taken as a threat, even if
there is no intent of actually carrying it out, which, on its face and under the circumstances in
which it is made, is so unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific as to convey to the
person threatened, a gravity of purpose and an immediate prospect of execution of the threat, and
thereby causes that person reasonably to be in sustained fear for his or her own safety or for his or
her immediate family's safety, shall be punished by imprisonment in a federal prison not to exceed
one year..
For the purposes of this section, "immediate family" means any spouse, whether by marriage or
not, parent, child, any person related by consanguinity or affinity within the second degree, or any
other person who regularly resides in the household, or who, within the prior six months, regularly
resided in the household.
"Electronic communication device" includes, but is not limited to, telephones, cellular telephones,
computers, video recorders, fax machines, pagers or synthetic telepathy devices
Obscene, threatening or annoying communication

Project MKUltra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
concerned with "the research and development of chemical, biological, and radiological materials capable of employment in clandestine operations
to control human behavior." The program consisted of some 149 subprojects which the Agency contracted out to various universities, research
foundations, and similar institutions. At least 80 institutions and 185 private researchers participated. Because the Agency funded MKULTRA
indirectly, many of the participating individuals were unaware that they were dealing with the Agency.[12]
Project MKUltra was first brought to public attention in 1975 by the Church Committee of the U.S. Congress, and a Gerald Ford commission to investigate CIA
activities within the United States. Investigative efforts were hampered by the fact that CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MKUltra files destroyed in
1973; the Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission investigations relied on the sworn testimony of direct participants and on the relatively small number
of documents that survived Helms' destruction order.[13]
In 1977, a Freedom of Information Act request uncovered a cache of 20,000 documents relating to project MKUltra, which led to Senate hearings later that
same year.[3][14] In July 2001, some surviving information regarding MKUltra was officially declassified.

Background
Precursor experiments
In 1945 the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency was established and given direct responsibility for Operation Paperclip.
The program recruited former Nazi scientists,[15] some of whom had been identified and prosecuted as war criminals
during the Nuremberg Trials.[16]
Several secret U.S. government projects grew out of Operation Paperclip. These projects included Project CHATTER
(established 1947), and Project BLUEBIRD (established 1950), which was renamed Project ARTICHOKE in 1951.
Their purpose was to study mind control, interrogation, behavior modification and related topics.
MKUltra
The project's intentionally oblique CIA cryptonym is made up of the digraph MK, meaning that the project was
sponsored by the agency's Technical Services Staff, followed by the word Ultra (which had previously been used to
designate the most secret classification of World War II intelligence). Other related cryptonyms include Project
MKNAOMI and Project MKDELTA.
Dr. Sidney Gottlieb approved of an
Headed by Sidney Gottlieb, the MKUltra project was started on the order of CIA director Allen Welsh Dulles on April
MKUltra subproject on LSD in this
13, 1953.[17] Its aim was to develop mind-controlling drugs for use against the Soviet bloc, largely in response to alleged
[18]
June 9, 1953 letter.
Soviet, Chinese, and North Korean use of mind control techniques on U.S. prisoners of war in Korea.
The CIA
wanted to use similar methods on their own captives. The CIA was also interested in being able to manipulate foreign
leaders with such techniques,[19] and would later invent several schemes to drug Fidel Castro. Experiments were often conducted without the subjects'
knowledge or consent.[20] In some cases, academic researchers being funded through grants from CIA front organizations were unaware that their work was
being used for these purposes.[21]
In 1964, the project was renamed MKSEARCH. The project attempted to produce a perfect truth drug for use in interrogating suspected Soviet spies during the
Cold War, and generally to explore any other possibilities of mind control. Another MKUltra effort, Subproject 54, was the Navy's top secret "Perfect
Concussion" program, which was supposed to use sub-aural frequency blasts to erase memory. However, the program was never carried out.[22]
Because most MKUltra records were deliberately destroyed in 1973 by order of then CIA director Richard Helms, it has been difficult, if not impossible, for
investigators to gain a complete understanding of the more than 150 individually funded research sub-projects sponsored by MKUltra and related CIA
programs.[23]
The project began during a period of what Rupert Cornwell described as "paranoia" at the CIA, when America had lost its nuclear monopoly, and fear of
Communism was at its height.[24] James Jesus Angleton, head of CIA counter-intelligence, believed that the organization had been penetrated by a mole at the
highest levels.[24]
Goals
The Agency poured millions of dollars into studies examining methods of influencing and controlling the mind, and of enhancing their ability to extract
information from resistant subjects during interrogation.[25][26]
Some historians have asserted that creating a "Manchurian Candidate" subject through "mind control" techniques was a goal of MKUltra and related CIA
projects.[27] Alfred McCoy has claimed that the CIA attempted to focus media attention on these sorts of "ridiculous" programs, so that the public would not
look at the primary goal of the research, which was developing effective methods of torture and interrogation. Such authors cite as one example that the CIA's
KUBARK interrogation manual refers to "studies at McGill University", and that most of the techniques recommended in KUBARK are exactly those that
researcher Donald Ewen Cameron used on his test subjects (sensory deprivation, drugs, isolation, etc.).[25]
One 1955 MKUltra document gives an indication of the size and range of the effort; this document refers to the study of an assortment of mind-altering
substances described as follows:[28]
1. Substances which will promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the recipient would be discredited in public.
2. Substances which increase the efficiency of mentation and perception.
3. Materials which will cause the victim to age faster/slower in maturity.
4. Materials which will promote the intoxicating effect of alcohol.
5. Materials which will produce the signs and symptoms of recognized diseases in a reversible way so that they may be used for malingering,
etc.
6. Materials which will cause temporary/permanent brain damage and loss of memory.
7. Substances which will enhance the ability of individuals to withstand privation, torture and coercion during interrogation and so-called
"brain-washing".
8. Materials and physical methods which will produce amnesia for events preceding and during their use.

9. Physical methods of producing shock and confusion over extended periods of time and capable of surreptitious use.
10. Substances which produce physical disablement such as paralysis of the legs, acute anemia, etc.
11. Substances which will produce a chemical that can cause blisters.
12. Substances which alter personality structure in such a way that the tendency of the recipient to become dependent upon another person is
enhanced.
13. A material which will cause mental confusion of such a type that the individual under its influence will find it difficult to maintain a
fabrication under questioning.
14. Substances which will lower the ambition and general working efficiency of men when administered in undetectable amounts.
15. Substances which promote weakness or distortion of the eyesight or hearing faculties, preferably without permanent effects.
16. A knockout pill which can surreptitiously be administered in drinks, food, cigarettes, as an aerosol, etc., which will be safe to use, provide a
maximum of amnesia, and be suitable for use by agent types on an ad hoc basis.
17. A material which can be surreptitiously administered by the above routes and which in very small amounts will make it impossible for a
person to perform physical activity.
Experiments
CIA documents suggest that "chemical, biological and radiological" means were investigated for the purpose of mind control as part of MKUltra.[29] A secret
memorandum granted the MKUltra director up to six percent of the CIA research budget in fiscal year 1953, without oversight or accounting.[30] An estimated
$10 million USD (roughly $87.5 million adjusted for inflation) or more was spent.[31]
Drugs
LSD
Early CIA efforts focused on LSD, which later came to dominate many of MKUltra's programs. Technical Services Staff
officials understood that LSD distorted a person's sense of reality, and they felt compelled to learn whether it could alter
someone's basic loyalties.[32] The CIA wanted to know if they could make Russian spies defect against their will and
whether the Russians could do the same to their own operatives.[32]
Once Project MKUltra officially got underway in April, 1953, experiments included administering LSD to mental
patients, prisoners, drug addicts and prostitutes, "people who could not fight back," as one agency officer put it.[33] In
one case LSD was administered to a mental patient in Kentucky for 174 days.[33] LSD was also administered to CIA
employees, military personnel, doctors, other government agents, and members of the general public in order to study
their reactions. LSD and other drugs were usually administered without the subject's knowledge or informed consent, a
violation of the Nuremberg Code that the U.S. agreed to follow after World War II. The aim of this was to find drugs
which would irresistibly bring out deep confessions or wipe a subject's mind clean and program him or her as "a robot
agent."[34]
In Operation Midnight Climax, the CIA set up several brothels in San Francisco, California to obtain a selection of men
1953 experiment record
who would be too embarrassed to talk about the events. The men were dosed with LSD, the brothels were equipped with
one-way mirrors, and the sessions were filmed for later viewing and study.[35] In other experiments where people were
given LSD without their knowledge, they were interrogated under bright lights with doctors in the background taking notes. The subjects were told that their
"trips" would be extended indefinitely if they refused to reveal their secrets. The people being interrogated this way were CIA employees, U.S. military
personnel, and agents suspected of working for the other side in the Cold War. Long-term debilitation and several deaths resulted from this.[34] Heroin addicts
were bribed into taking LSD with offers of more heroin.[11]
The office of Security used LSD in interrogations but Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, the chemist who directed MKUltra, had other ideas: he thought it could be used in
covert operations. Since its effects were temporary, he believed it could be given to high officials and in this way affect the course of important meetings,
speeches etc. Since he realized there was a difference in testing the drug in a laboratory and using it in clandestine operations, he initiated a series of
experiments where LSD was given to people in "normal" settings without warning. At first, everyone in Technical Services tried it; a typical experiment
involved two people in a room where they observed each other for hours and took notes. As the experimentation progressed, a point was reached where
outsiders were drugged with no explanation whatsoever and surprise acid trips became something of an occupational hazard among CIA operatives. Adverse
reactions often occurred, for example an operative who had received the drug in his morning coffee, became psychotic and ran across Washington, seeing a
monster in every car that passed him. The experiments continued even after Dr. Frank Olson, an Army scientist who had not taken LSD before, went into deep
depression after a surprise trip and later fell from a thirteenth story window (it is unclear whether he committed suicide or was murdered).[36]
Some subjects' participation was consensual, and in these cases they appeared to be singled out for even more extreme experiments. In one case, seven
volunteers in Kentucky were given LSD for 77 consecutive days.[37]
LSD was eventually dismissed by MKUltra's researchers as too unpredictable in its results.[38] They had given up on the notion that LSD was "the secret that
was going to unlock the universe," but it still had a place in the cloak-and-dagger arsenal. However, by 1962 the CIA and the army had developed a series of
superhallucinogens such as the highly touted BZ, which was thought to hold greater promise as a mind control weapon. This resulted in the withdrawal of
support by many academics and private researchers, and LSD research became less of a priority altogether.[36]
Other drugs
Another technique investigated was connecting a barbiturate IV into one arm and an amphetamine IV into the other.[39] The barbiturates were released into the

person first, and as soon as the person began to fall asleep, the amphetamines were released. The person would then begin babbling incoherently, and it was
sometimes possible to ask questions and get useful answers.
Other experiments involved heroin, morphine, temazepam (used under code name MKSEARCH), mescaline, psilocybin, scopolamine, marijuana, alcohol, and
sodium pentothal.[40]
Electronics
At least one subproject of the MK Ultra project was about the electronic control of human behaviour (subproject 119). Subproject 119 had the purpose to
provide funds for a study to make a critical review of the literature and scientific developments related to the recording, analysis and interpretation of
bio-electric signals from the human organism, and activation of the human behaviour by remote means. The survey encompassed five main areas: techniques of
activation of the human organism by remote electronic means, bio-electric sensors, recording, analysis and standardization of data.
Hypnosis
Declassified MKUltra documents indicate hypnosis was studied in the early 1950s. Experimental goals included: the creation of "hypnotically induced
anxieties," "hypnotically increasing ability to learn and recall complex written matter," studying hypnosis and polygraph examinations, "hypnotically increasing
ability to observe and recall complex arrangements of physical objects," and studying "relationship of personality to susceptibility to hypnosis."[41] Experiments
were conducted with drug induced hypnosis and with anterograde and retrograde amnesia while under the influence of such drugs.
Canadian experiments
The experiments were exported to Canada when the CIA recruited Scottish psychiatrist Donald Ewen Cameron, creator of the
"psychic driving" concept, which the CIA found particularly interesting. Cameron had been hoping to correct schizophrenia by
erasing existing memories and reprogramming the psyche. He commuted from Albany, New York, to Montreal every week to
work at the Allan Memorial Institute of McGill University and was paid $69,000 from 1957 to 1964 to carry out MKUltra
experiments there. These research funds were sent to Dr. Cameron by a CIA front organization, the Society for the Investigation
of Human Ecology, and as shown in internal CIA documents, Dr. Cameron did not know that the money originated from the
CIA.[42] In addition to LSD, Cameron also experimented with various paralytic drugs as well as electroconvulsive therapy at
thirty to forty times the normal power. His "driving" experiments consisted of putting subjects into drug-induced coma for weeks
at a time (up to three months in one case) while playing tape loops of noise or simple repetitive statements. His experiments
were typically carried out on patients who had entered the institute for minor problems such as anxiety disorders and postpartum
depression, many of whom suffered permanently from his actions.[43] His treatments resulted in victims' incontinence, amnesia,
forgetting how to talk, forgetting their parents, and thinking their interrogators were their parents.[44] His work was inspired and
paralleled by the British psychiatrist William Sargant at St Thomas' Hospital, London, and Belmont Hospital, Surrey, who was
also involved in the Intelligence Services and who experimented extensively on his patients without their consent, causing
similar long-term damage.[45]
It was during this era that Cameron became known worldwide as the first chairman of the World Psychiatric Association as well
as president of the American and Canadian psychiatric associations. Cameron had also been a member of the Nuremberg medical tribunal in 194647.[46]
Naomi Klein argues in her book The Shock Doctrine that Cameron's research and his contribution to the MKUltra project was actually not about mind control
and brainwashing, but about designing "a scientifically based system for extracting information from 'resistant sources.' In other words, torture."[47] Alfred W.
McCoy writes that "Stripped of its bizarre excesses, Dr. Cameron's experiments, building upon Donald O. Hebb's earlier breakthrough, laid the scientific
foundation for the CIA's two-stage psychological torture method," which refers to first creating a state of disorientation in the subject, and then second creating
a situation of "self-inflicted" discomfort in which the disoriented subject can alleviate their pain by capitulating.[48]
Revelation
In 1973, with the government-wide panic caused by Watergate, the CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MKUltra files
destroyed.[49] Pursuant to this order, most CIA documents regarding the project were destroyed, making a full investigation of
MKUltra impossible. A cache of some 20,000 documents survived Helms' purge, as they had been incorrectly stored in a
financial records building and were discovered following a FOIA request in 1977. These documents were fully investigated
during the Senate Hearings of 1977.[3]
In December 1974, The New York Times alleged that the CIA had conducted illegal domestic activities, including experiments on
U.S. citizens, during the 1960s. That report prompted investigations by the U.S. Congress, in the form of the Church Committee,
and by a presidential commission known as the Rockefeller Commission that looked into domestic activities of the CIA, the FBI,
and intelligence-related agencies of the military.
In the summer of 1975, congressional Church Committee reports and the presidential Rockefeller Commission report revealed to
the public for the first time that the CIA and the Department of Defense had conducted experiments on both unwitting and
cognizant human subjects as part of an extensive program to influence and control human behavior through the use of
psychoactive drugs such as LSD and mescaline and other chemical, biological, and psychological means. They also revealed that
at least one subject had died after administration of LSD. Much of what the Church Committee and the Rockefeller Commission
learned about MKUltra was contained in a report, prepared by the Inspector General's office in 1963, that had survived the
destruction of records ordered in 1973.[50] However, it contained little detail. Sidney Gottlieb, who had retired from the CIA two
years previously, was interviewed by the committee but claimed to have very little recollection of the activities of MKUltra.[10]

The congressional committee investigating the CIA research, chaired by Senator Frank Church, concluded that "[p]rior consent was obviously not obtained
from any of the subjects". The committee noted that the "experiments sponsored by these researchers ... call into question the decision by the agencies not to fix
guidelines for experiments."
Following the recommendations of the Church Committee, President Gerald Ford in 1976 issued the first Executive Order on Intelligence Activities which,
among other things, prohibited "experimentation with drugs on human subjects, except with the informed consent, in writing and witnessed by a disinterested
party, of each such human subject" and in accordance with the guidelines issued by the National Commission. Subsequent orders by Presidents Carter and
Reagan expanded the directive to apply to any human experimentation.
In 1977, during a hearing held by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, to look further into MKUltra, Admiral
Stansfield Turner, then Director of Central Intelligence, revealed that the CIA had found a set of records, consisting of
about 20,000 pages, that had survived the 1973 destruction orders because they had been stored at a records center not
usually used for such documents.[50] These files dealt with the financing of MKUltra projects and contained few project
details, however much more was learned from them than from the Inspector General's 1963 report.
On the Senate floor in 1977, Senator Ted Kennedy said:
The Deputy Director of the CIA revealed that over thirty universities and institutions were involved in an
"extensive testing and experimentation" program which included covert drug tests on unwitting citizens "at all
social levels, high and low, native Americans and foreign." Several of these tests involved the administration of
LSD to "unwitting subjects in social situations." At least one death, that of Dr. Olson, resulted from these
activities. The Agency itself acknowledged that these tests made little scientific sense. The agents doing the
monitoring were not qualified scientific observers.[51]
1977 United States Senate report on
In Canada, the issue took much longer to surface, becoming widely known in 1984 on a CBC news show, The Fifth
MKUltra
Estate. It was learned that not only had the CIA funded Dr. Cameron's efforts, but perhaps even more shockingly, the
Canadian government was fully aware of this, and had later provided another $500,000 in funding to continue the
experiments. This revelation largely derailed efforts by the victims to sue the CIA as their U.S. counterparts had, and the Canadian government eventually
settled out of court for $100,000 to each of the 127 victims. None of Dr. Cameron's personal records of his involvement with MKUltra survived, since his
family destroyed them after his death from a heart attack while mountain climbing in 1967.[52]
Deaths
Given the CIA's purposeful destruction of most records, its failure to follow informed consent protocols with thousands of participants, the uncontrolled nature
of the experiments, and the lack of follow-up data, the full impact of MKUltra experiments, including deaths, will never be known.[23][28][53][54]
Several known deaths have been associated with Project MKUltra, most notably that of Frank Olson. Olson, a United States Army biochemist and biological
weapons researcher, was given LSD without his knowledge or consent in November, 1953, as part of a CIA experiment and died under suspicious
circumstances a week later. A CIA doctor assigned to monitor Olson claimed to have been asleep in another bed in a New York City hotel room when Olson
exited the window and fell thirteen stories to his death. In 1953, Olson's death was described as a suicide that had occurred during a severe psychotic episode.
The CIA's own internal investigation concluded that the head of MK ULTRA, CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb, had conducted the LSD experiment with Olson's
prior knowledge, although neither Olson nor the other men taking part in the experiment were informed as to the exact nature of the drug until some 20 minutes
after its ingestion. The report further suggested that Gottlieb was nonetheless due a reprimand, as he had failed to take into account Olson's already-diagnosed
suicidal tendencies, which might have been exacerbated by the LSD.[55]
The Olson family disputes the official version of events. They maintain that Frank Olson was murdered because, especially in the aftermath of his LSD
experience, he had become a security risk who might divulge state secrets associated with highly classified CIA programs, about many of which he had direct
personal knowledge.[56] A few days before his death, Frank Olson quit his position as acting chief of the Special Operations Division at Detrick, Maryland
(later Fort Detrick) because of a severe moral crisis concerning the nature of his biological weapons research. Among Olson's concerns were the development of
assassination materials used by the CIA, the CIA's use of biological warfare materials in covert operations, experimentation with biological weapons in
populated areas, collaboration with former Nazi scientists under Operation Paperclip, LSD mind-control research, and the use of psychoactive drugs during
"terminal" interrogations under a program code-named Project ARTICHOKE.[57] Later forensic evidence conflicted with the official version of events; when
Olson's body was exhumed in 1994, cranial injuries indicated that Olson had been knocked unconscious before he exited the window.[55] The medical examiner
termed Olson's death a "homicide".[58] In 1975, Olson's family received a $750,000 settlement from the U.S. government and formal apologies from President
8/17/2015 2:59 AM
6 of 11
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra
Gerald Ford and CIA Director William Colby, though their apologies were limited to informed consent issues concerning Olson's ingestion of LSD.[54][59] On
28 November 2012, the Olson family filed suit against the U.S. federal government for the wrongful death of Frank Olson.[60]
In his 2009 book, A Terrible Mistake, researcher H. P. Albarelli Jr. concurs with the Olson family and concludes that Frank Olson was murdered because a
personal crisis of conscience made it likely he would divulge state secrets concerning several CIA programs, chief among them Project ARTICHOKE and an
MKDELTA project code-named Project SPAN. Albarelli theorizes that Project SPAN involved the contamination of food supplies and the aerosolized spraying
of a potent LSD mixture in the village of Pont-Saint-Esprit, France in August, 1951. The 1951 Pont-Saint-Esprit mass poisoning resulted in mass psychosis, 32
commitments to mental institutions, and at least seven deaths. Albarelli writes that Olson was involved in the development of aerosolized delivery systems and
had been present at Pont-Saint-Esprit in August, 1951. According to Albarelli, several months before resigning his position Olsen had witnessed a terminal
interrogation conducted in Germany under Project ARTICHOKE. While most academic sources accept ergot poisoning, poisoning by mercury, mycotoxins, or
nitrogen trichloride, as the cause of the Pont-Saint-Esprit epidemic,[61][62][63][64][65] others like paranormal author John Grant Fuller in The Day of Saint
Anthony's Fire have reached conclusions similar to Albarelli's.[54][66]
On April 26, 1976, the Church Committee of the United States Senate issued a report, "Final Report of the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operation
with Respect to Intelligence Activities",[67] In Book I, Chapter XVII, p 389 this report states:
LSD was one of the materials tested in the MKUltra program. The final phase of LSD testing involved surreptitious administration to unwitting
non-volunteer subjects in normal life settings by undercover officers of the Bureau of Narcotics acting for the CIA.
A special procedure, designated MKDELTA, was established to govern the use of MKUltra materials abroad. Such materials were used on a number of
occasions. Because MKUltra records were destroyed, it is impossible to reconstruct the operational use of MKUltra materials by the CIA overseas; it has
been determined that the use of these materials abroad began in 1953, and possibly as early as 1950.[68][69][70][71][72]
Drugs were used primarily as an aid to interrogations, but MKUltra/MKDelta materials were also used for harassment, discrediting, or disabling purposes.
[68][69][70][71][72]
Extent of participation
Forty-four American colleges or universities, 15 research foundations or chemical or pharmaceutical companies including Sandoz (now Novartis) and Eli Lilly
and Company, 12 hospitals or clinics (in addition to those associated with universities), and three prisons are known to have participated in MKUltra.[75][76]

Notable subjects
Merry Prankster Ken Kesey, author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, volunteered for MKUltra experiments involving LSD and other psychedelic
drugs at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Menlo Park while he was a student at nearby Stanford University. Kesey's experiences while under the
influence of LSD inspired him to promote the drug outside the context of the MKUltra experiments, which influenced the early development of hippie
culture.[77][78]
Robert Hunter is an American lyricist, singer-songwriter, translator, and poet, best known for his association with Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead.
Along with Ken Kesey, Hunter was an early volunteer MKUltra test subject at Stanford University. Stanford test subjects were paid to take LSD,
psilocybin, and mescaline, then report on their experiences. These experiences were creatively formative for Hunter:
Sit back picture yourself swooping up a shell of purple with foam crests of crystal drops soft nigh they fall unto the sea of morning creepvery-softly mist... and then sort of cascade tinkley-bell-like (must I take you by the hand, every so slowly type) and then conglomerate
suddenly into a peal of silver vibrant uncomprehendingly, blood singingly, joyously resounding bells... By my faith if this be insanity, then
for the love of God permit me to remain insane.[79]
Cathy O'Brien, author, claims to have been subjected to the program since childhood. She names several prominent government participants in her book
Trance Formation of America
Candy Jones, American fashion model and radio host, claimed to have been a victim of mind control in the 1960s.[80]
Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger volunteered for testing while in prison at USP Leavenworth in 1963.[81]
Conspiracy theories
MKUltra plays a part in many conspiracy theories due to its nature and the destruction of most records.[82]
Lawrence Teeter, attorney for convicted assassin Sirhan Sirhan, believed Sirhan was under the influence of hypnosis when he fired his weapon at Robert F.
Kennedy in 1968. Teeter linked the CIA's MKUltra program to mind control techniques that he claimed were used to control Sirhan.[83][84]
Aftermath
At his retirement in 1972, Gottlieb dismissed his entire effort for the CIA's MKUltra program as useless.[24][85]
Although the CIA insists that MKUltra-type experiments have been abandoned, some CIA observers say there is little reason to believe it does not continue
today under a different set of acronyms.[49] Victor Marchetti, author and 14-year CIA veteran, stated in various interviews that the CIA routinely conducted
disinformation campaigns and that CIA mind control research continued. In a 1977 interview, Marchetti specifically called the CIA claim that MKUltra was
abandoned a "cover story."[86][87]
In popular culture

of nanotechnology. When those efforts were frustrated by congressional budget cuts, the research was handed off to the Armstrong Fancy Gifts
Corporation and their weapons division. All records of AFGC's involvement have been expunged. A number of individuals involved have died under
suspicious circumstances."[88]

Introduction
After the horrific pictures of prisoners being tortured at Abu Ghraib were displayed in front pages of
newspapers around the world, the United States maintained that the U.S. government does not
torture; Abu Ghraib was about a few bad officers. Evidence now proves that CIA no touch torture
and worse were ordered by the executive branch and approved by top military officers. Surprisingly
this scandal has much in common with another national security issue, neuroweapons, commonly
referred to as mind control.
The field of neuroethics should begin now, according to bioethicist Dr. Jonathan Moreno in his 2006
book Mind Wars, Brain Research and National Defense. The influential book was reviewed in
Nature and JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association). Most neuroscientists agree that
advanced neuroweapons are over a half century away but the ethics of the new weapons need more
planning than occurred for the atomic bomb. Moreno began the first chapter of his book describing
the growing numbers of allegations of illegal government mind control targeting. He immediately
dismissed them as conspiracy theory nut cases. A 2007 Washington Post Magazine article,
Thought Wars followed suit. So why should anyone read further given these credible and highly
respected expert opinions?
Much of what the public should know about the issue has gone unreported or uninvestigated. For
example, after over a half century of classified research, not one publicly known neurological weapon
has been deployed. This raises more questions than it answers. Putting aside the major and
undebated points of the consensus position, the mind control allegations do sound crazy and on this
singular point, most people, including experts and news reporters refuse any closer examination.
Clearly, understanding why the mind control allegations sound so crazy would have significant
consequences.
Two analogies help clarify the major problems for the mind control issue, secrecy and the lack of a
thorough, impartial investigation;
Excerpt of a 1970s congressional hearing uncovering illegal CIA activities; [Senator Frank]
Church, ... persisted in blaming the plots [assassinations] on the CIA. The agency, he said, was
a rogue elephant on a rampage. For proof, he pointed to the lack of documentary evidence
that any president had ever approved an assassination. Former CIA director Richard Helms
countered that it was absurd to expect to find such evidence. I cant imagine anybody wanting
something in writing saying I have just charged Mr. Jones to go out and shoot Mr. Smith, he
testified. The Agency, he insisted, had simply carried out the wishes of the executive.
Even today, experts dont understand how the U.S. secrecy system works. Similar to the torture
scandal, until there is a national security scandal about neuroscience weapons, the public will
remain uninformed about a serious public issue.
During a dairymans strike in 19th century New England, when there was suspicion of milk
being watered down, Henry David Thoreau wrote; Sometimes circumstantial evidence can be
quite convincing; like when you find a trout in the milk. Mind Wars and the Washington Post
Magazine article examined the growing numbers of crazy sounding mind control allegations.
3
But unlike Thoreaus account, the publications only reported the convincing circumstantial
evidence of finding a trout in the milk and dismissed the suspicions without a fair or
impartial investigation. As a result, the mind control allegations made no sense.
Update: In the 2008 book The Commission, the Uncensored History of the 9-11 Investigation,
Philip Shenon explained that explicit, very classified kill orders are now put in writing. On page
254 Shenon wrote: MONs [memorandum of notification] were top-secret orders prepared by the
White House to authorize covert operations abroad by the CIA. ... there was an explicit, if highly
secret, order given by Clinton to the CIA in late 1998 to kill bin Laden.
The UCDavis Center for the Study of Human Rights in the Americas (CSHRA) and the UCDavis
Center for Mind and Brain (CMB) further explain what psychological torture is and its effects on
torture victims.
[CSHRA and CMB] have initiated a collaboration to investigate theneurobiology of
psychological torture. ...Psychological torture (henceforthPT) is a set of practices that are
used worldwide to inflict pain or suffering without resorting to direct physical violence.
PT includes the use of sleep deprivation, sensory disorientation, forced self-induced pain,
solitary confinement, mock execution, severe humiliation, mind-altering drugs and
threats of violenceas well as the exploitation of personal or cultural phobias.
The psychiatric sequelae of PT are severe. They include delirium, psychosis, regression,
self-mutilation, cognitive impairment, and anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic
stress disorder. Neuroscience research on these and related mental disorders continues
to establish their neurobiological underpinnings, thus challenging the popular view that
PT is not physical, not serious, and perhaps not even torture at all.
The CSHRA and the CMB launched their collaborative efforts by holding The First
UCDavis Workshop on the Neurobiology of Psychological Torture. The goal of this
workshop was to bring together researchers and practitioners from different specialties
and research groups in order to set off a unified, long-term, research program on the
ways in which PT affects the human central nervous system in an effort to understand it
in relation to the more traditional forms of physical torture, and to establish clearly
articulated ethical, legal, and medical descriptions of this set of practices. It is expected
that these descriptions will help treat, document, and deter PT.
Supplemented by studies on the social, historical, and ethical ramifications of PT, the
presentations made at The First UCDavis Workshop on the Neurobiology of
Psychological Torture have been bound into The Trauma of Psychological Torture, a
volume to be published by Praeger on June 30, 2008.
Please note that numerous torture experts, including CSHRA and CMB have completely shunned
suggestions to investigate mind control allegations or to consider the issue. But this information may
be helpful to the therapists of TIs (targeted individuals of mind control) who are coping with mind
control targeting.

The book Torture, also included a description of counterinsurgency warfare, in which torture was a
principal weapon and was developed during the French experience in Indochina and Algeria.
[The] genesis of this new kind of warfare is the idea that the enemy takes the form of an
invisible political organization hidden among the civilian population. One can know its
leaders and its structure only by waging a war of information: by arresting masses of
civilian suspects, interrogating them, and, if necessary, torturing them. ... In the modern
era, ... the science of torture and similar abusive treatment has developed to break the
physical and mental resistance of subjects before they expire or go mad and thus become
useless as sources of information. ... Torture is still about domination.

town. A December 13, 1976, Federal Times article, Microwave Weapons Study by Soviets
Cited described the alleged Russian capability of microwave hearing;
The Defense Intelligence Agency has released a report on heavy Communist
research on microwaves, including their use as weapons. Microwaves are used in
radar, television and microwave ovens. They can cause disorientation and possibly
heart attacks in humans. Another biological effect with possible anti-personnel uses
is microwave hearing. Sounds and possibly even words which appear to be
originating intracranially (within the head) can be induced by signal modulation at
very low average power densities, the report said. According to the study,
Communist work in this area has great potential for development into a system for
disorienting or disrupting the behavior patterns of military or diplomatic
personnel.
3. Jon Ronson, author of the New York Times reviewed book, The Men Who Stare at Goats
wrote about alleged mind control experiments on Iraqi detainees. In an interview on April 14,
2005 at the Politics and Prose book store in Washington DC., Ronson discussed his book.
(Tape available from Cspan, Book TV at www.booktv.org. Videotape # 186334)
And from the former detainees from Guantanamo Bay that Ive interviewed it
seems exactly the same things are going on there. I said to a man called Jamal alHarith how do you feel, you know how did you feel at Guantanamo Bay and he said
felt like a laboratory rat. And he said, I felt they were trying stuff out on me. ...
And one example is with Barney the purple dinosaur. When it was announced a
year ago that they were rounding up prisoners of war in Iraq and blasting them
with Barney the purple dinosaur, it was treated as a funny story, because, by all the
major news networks in America, you know... the torture wasnt that bad. ... It was
disseminated as funny because who wants to replace a funny story with, as Eric
[Olson] once said to me, with one thats not fun. ...
I was given seven photographs of a detainee who had just been given the Barney
treatment as they called it. It was 48 hours of Barney with flashing strobe lights
inside a shipping container in the desert heat. ...
... The current chief of staff of the Army is a man called General Pete Shoemaker. ...
Hes well known to have an interest in these paranormal esoteric military pursuits.
... So now is the time when I know that these ideas go to the very top [levels of the
military].
One of the things you spoke of, the one that I have knowledge of is the frequencies.
You can follow a trail of patents like footprints in the snow and the patents
sometimes vanish into the world of military classification. And theres many
patents bought up by a man called Dr. Oliver Lowry. ...
14
So we know that these patents have been bought up by the military. ... And the
detainees of Guantanamo Ive spoken to speak of being blasted withfrequencies, put
inside music, high and low frequencies, masked with music.
...I think theres no doubt theyre experimenting with this stuff. To add to that
controversial suggestion. I think theres a good chance that even though theyre
trying this stuff out, its not necessarily true that it works. A lot of this stuff doesnt
work. This may or may not work. I dont know.

phenomenon they call street theater. For example, people around the victim have
repeated verbatim, the victims immediate thoughts, or harassive and personalized
statements are repeated by strangers wherever the victim may go.
Emotions can be manipulated. Microwave hearing, known to be an unclassified military
capability of creating voices in the head, is regularly reported. Implanted thoughts and
visions are common, with repetitive themes that can include pedophilia, homophobia
and degradation. Victims say it is like having a radio or TV in your head. Less frequently,
remote and abusive sexual manipulation is reported. Almost all victims say repetitive
behavior control techniques are used and include negative, stimulus-response or
feedback loops.
The counterintuitive and bizarre torture techniques are discernible within the mind control
allegations. The mind control techniques seem to be psychological techniques to disorient the victim
and cause him to feel completely controlled, dependent and at the mercy of his torturers. Similar to
the kind of total theater for torture, street theater is almost certainly a part of the process of
breaking ones personality to gain behavior control over that person.
an asymmetry of power;
the anonymity of the torturer to the victim;
the double bind of either enduring or betraying others;
the systematic falsehood of trumped-up charges, artificial lighting, cunning
deceptions, and mock executions;
5. confinement in distinctive spaces signifying displacement, trapping, narrowness
and destruction; and
6. a temporality characterized by some unpredictability and much circularity, having
no end. ...
Thus, much of the pain from all forms of torture is psychological, not physical, based
upon denying victims any power over their lives. In sum, the torturer strives through
insult and disqualification, by means of threats ... to break all the victims possible
existential platforms. Through this asymmetry, the torturer eventually achieves
complete power and reduces the victims to a condition of total or near total
defenselessness. (Question of Torture, 10-11)
In torture, a torture situation is created according to Doerr-Zegers. In mind control allegations,
there is a similar phenomenology of a mind control situation. TIs describe this as an electronic
prison. Doerr-Zegers described the torture technique, 1) an asymmetry of power. In torture, the
torturer has complete power and the victim is completely powerless. Similarly, TIs are targeted
19
remotely and are completely powerless to stop the targeting. Doerr-Zegers described the torture
technique, 2) the anonymity of the torturer to the victim. Torture victims do not know their torturer
and similarly, there is the anonymity of the remote targeting in the mind control situation.
Most TIs described street theater or seemingly staged events which matches 3), 4) and 6). DoerrZegers described torture technique, 5) confinement in distinctive spaces signifying displacement,
trapping, narrowness and destruction. Although TIs are not physically imprisoned, most victims
describe the experience as very debilitating and compare it to mental rape, an electronic prison, or
total destruction of the quality of their lives. Mind control poses a severe restriction on their former
lives. Doerr-Zegers technique 6) a temporality characterized by some unpredictability and much
circularity, having no end is also similar to sensory deprivation in mind control allegations. TIs
routinely report the simple but extremely repetitive and negative, stimulus-response and feedback
loops of their environment.

McCoy described the photos of the hooded detainee with the arms extended for self-inflicted pain.
The torturer forces the prisoner to stand with arms extended and the prisoner has no control over
his situation. The prisoner still has a sense of guilt at causing his own pain by his extended arms.
This intended effect of self inflicted pain for torture seems to be similar to mind control. TIs who are
remotely targeted with physical pain cannot escape. Although TIs go to extremes in trying to escape
the physical targeting, they are unsuccessful. The psychological trauma is inflicted by the sense of
causing ones own pain. Many TIs report that the targeting causes TIs to become isolated from
friends, families and in many cases TIs are unable to work. This common reaction to targeting seems
to be a type of self-inflicted psychological pain.
Carole Sterlings description of targeting is also found in the addendum of Naylors book and seems
to illustrate the techniques of sensory disorientation and self-inflicted pain. It is a typical TI
description;
In 1997, Carole Sterling wrote a letter to the editor of the Star Beacon. She described her
alleged targeting with EMR weapons technologies that within months, led to her suicide.
Dear Star Beacon, I am writing about something that happened to me which goes back to
December 1995. I went to a conference in Nevada. The day following the last night at the
conference, I noticed that I had an injection mark on the base of my spine which was
sore. Then the nightmare started three days after my return to Washington, D.C. ... It
totally scrambled my brain, leaving me unable to think properly, simply functioning on
sheer shock and horror, with total incomprehension of what was going on. It actually was
debilitating. The room felt like a torture chamber. This forced me out of my home. I
believe that the technology used, be it some type of a frequency assault, some sort of
directed energy, in addition to whatever was injected in me, has caused damage to my
brain. [I have] been living with this debilitating and excruciating pain for the last eight
months so far.
TIs describe both psychological and physical targeting similar to torture. It seems logical to surmise
that the successful psychological theories of no touch torture would cross over to more technically
based remote, advanced mind control programs. This becomes a significant step forward in
understanding the mind control issue. The mind control allegations are the secret in plain sight.

The nightmarish scenes of the week that began on the 17th of August 1951 were described as
follows:
A French newspaper at the time of the bizarre incident wrote, "It is neither
Shakespeare nor Edgar [Allen] Poe. It is, alas, the sad reality all around Pont-St.Esprit and its environs, where terrifying scenes of hallucinations are taking place.
They are scenes straight out of the Middle Ages, scenes of horror and pathos, full of
sinister shadows." A brief article in TIME magazine, then a major U.S. news journal,
with extremely close ties to the CIA, stated, "Among the stricken, delirium rose:

Olson asked formally to be dismissed from the biowarfare program a week after the Deep
Creek Lake retreat. Instead, the CIA asked him to see a doctor in New York City as he was
suffering a nervous breakdown. The doctor, Harold Abramson, was in fact an allergist, who
recommended having Olson interned in a mental institution. It was on his last night in the city
that he "jumped" from the window of the Hotel Statler, apparently crashing through it, as it was
closed. Adding to this bizarre detail, on entering Olson's room, the night manager of the hotel
and the police found none other than Robert Lashbrook sitting on the toilet with his head in his
hands.
Armand Pastore, the hotel manager, asked the telephone operator at the reception whether she
had overheard any calls from that room.
Two, she said. In one, a voice had said, "He's gone." The voice on the other end
replied, "That's too bad." Lashbrook admitted making two calls but has denied
saying anything of the sort.
This was a strangely casual dialogue about the supposedly unexpected and shocking suicide of
a colleague.
In 1994, Frank's son, Eric, had his father's body exhumed. A second autopsy was performed,
which discovered a large hematoma on the left side of Olson's forehead and a large injury on
his chest. Most of the team that performed the autopsy concluded that these injuries did not
occur during the fall, but beforehand in the room. This appears to be consistent with Pastore's
testimony about finding Olson on the pavement, still alive, his body facing up.
House of Horrors
From Pont Saint Esprit to LSD, Albert Hofmann and
Frank Olson, to the CIA, Sidney Gottlieb and MK-ULTRA.
In 1974, the New York Times revealed that MK-Ultra was
a CIA mind control program. In reaction to this news, the
US Congress established a commission to investigate
the activities of the CIA, but by that time the agency had
already destroyed most of the public documentation on
the program with the bulk of it remaining classified. We
do know, however, that Mk-Ultra techniques included the
use of drugs, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, verbal and
sexual abuse and torture. MK-ULTRA was officially
closed down in 1973, although similar programs have
evidently continued in secrecy, as we can deduce from
the so-called "enhanced interrogation techniques" that
have been used more recently in the context of the war
on terror. In his interview with RT, Albarelli, mentions both
Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld as being part of the
cover-up of the Olson case.
To illustrate what mind control research is about, lets consider MK-ULTRA sub-project 68.

During the 1950's and 60's, the CIA funded Dr Donald Ewen Cameron, director of the Allan
Memorial Institute in the Royal Victoria Hospital at McGill University in Montreal. Ostensibly, Dr
Cameron was engaged in an effort to 'cure' mental illnesses by 're-patterning' abnormal
behavior. In reality, the CIA was not interested in curing anything. They understood well that Dr
Cameron's methods could prove useful in disintegrating and reshaping the personality of a
subject. To be fair, Dr Cameron did not seem very interested in the recovery of his patients
either. This veritable mad scientist was described as "ruthless, determined, aggressive, and
domineering ... He seemed not to have the ability to deeply empathize with their
[patients] problems or their situation."
His 'therapy' consisted in techniques that amounted to torture:
Step 1: To prepare them for the de-patterning treatment, patients would be put into a
state of prolonged sleep for about ten days using various drugs, after which
they experienced an invasive electroshock therapy that lasted for about 15
days. But patients were not always prepared for re-patterning and sometimes
Cameron used extreme forms of sensory deprivation as well.
Cameron described the experience: "there is not only a loss of the space-time
image but a loss of all feeling that should be present...in more advanced forms
[the patient] may be unable to walk without support, to feed himself, and he
may show double incontinence."
Step 2: Following the preparation period and the de-patterning came the process of
"psychic driving" or re-patterning, in which Cameron would play messages on
tape recorders to his patients. He alternated negative messages about the
patients' lives and personalities with positive ones; these messages could be
repeated up to half a million times.
In 1963, the CIA compiled Dr Cameron's work into the Kubark Counterintelligence Interrogation
Handbook - a torture manual. Is it a coincidence that during the occupation of Iraq, Iraqis in US
prisons and in Guantnamo Bay were broken down by loud or annoying music (such as Barney
the Purple Dinosaur's 'I love you' or Metallica's 'Enter Sandman') played repeatedly for several
hours?
Equally chilling is the work of Dr Jose Delgado. Delgado was financed by grants from the Office
of Naval Research, the Air Force Aero-Medical Research Laboratory, and the Public Health
Foundation of Boston. Just a quick glance at the ideas that motivated this monster is horrifying:
Doctor Jose Delgado: "Man does not have the right to develop his own mind."
(Congressional Record, New York Times)
"We need a program of psychosurgery for political control of our society. The
purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviates from the
given norm can be surgically mutilated.
"The individual may think that the most important reality is his own existence, but
this is only his personal point of view. This lacks historical perspective.

"Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberal
orientation has great appeal. We must electrically control the brain. Some day
armies and generals will be controlled by electric stimulation of the brain."
These were the remarks of Dr. Jose Delgado as they appeared in the February 24,
1974 edition of the Congressional Record, No. 262E, Vol. 118.
As crazy as it sounds, Delgado made real progress towards achieving his goal. In the following
video we see a charging bull stopped on his tracks at the push of a button on a remote control
device:
Other programs related to MK-ULTRA include Project Paperclip which was designed to
'smuggle' Nazi scientists (some of whom were conducting human experiments in concentration
camps) into the US, to let them continue their research undisturbed, under the auspices of a
new boss.
Project Artichoke, previously known as Project Bluebird, sought to "get control of an individual
to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against fundamental laws of
nature, such as self-preservation" aka a "Manchurian Candidate" or mind-controlled assassin. It
has been alleged that such CIA projects were the work of 'a few bad apples' and that they were
never successful in creating such mind-controlled slaves. There is evidence, however, to
suggest otherwise. For example, Sirhan Sirhan, the killer of Robert F. Kennedy, claims that to
this day he cannot remember what he did, and according to professionals who have examined
him, he is sincere. (For an amusing take on the apparent reality (and ease) of mind control, I
recommend popular British hypnotist Derren Brown's 'experiment' on hypnotizing someone into
becoming an assassin. Unless you conclude Brown's subject is a paid actor, the technique
works and with relative ease!
Of course, human experimentation was not exclusive to the CIA. US Army Colonel and
psychiatrist James S. Ketchum worked for the army at Edgewood Arsenal on the Chesapeake
Bay between 1956 and 1976. His area of research was psychochemical warfare; the objective,
in the words of a ranking officer, was to produce a "selective malfunctioning of the human
machine." He tested drugs on hundreds of military "volunteers" - if they can be called such
given that they were routinely misinformed about the risks involved.
Other experiments included those conducted on unsuspecting civilian targets. The list is long

A secret medical research of the government of the United States on the inhabitants
of the Marshall Islands - 'Project 4.1 is also well known: during the experiment
people were exposed to radiation after the nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll on March
1, 1954. As a result of radioactive contamination, among women in the first five
years after the tests the number of miscarriages and stillbirths doubled, and many of
the newborns who survived soon developed cancer.
Another, possibly most infamous biomedical experiment on the residents of the
United States in American history could be the study of syphilis in the city of
Tuskegee, Alabama, which lasted from 1932 to 1972 and was conducted under the
auspices of the US Public Health Service and was designed to investigate all stages
of syphilis in African-Americans. During this 'study' American scientists hid the
existence of penicillin from the subjects, and continued testing experimental
materials, ostensibly in search medicine. As a result, many people were affected,
some died of syphilis and infected their wives and children.
Recently, the US government was forced to apologize for a 1946-1948 "research study" in
which people in Guatemala were intentionally infected with sexually transmitted diseases by the
US Public Health Service:
One wonders what other apologies the public might receive in sixty or seventy years when no
one cares anymore.
A note on debunking
In looking into the background on the France 3 documentary about Pont Saint Espirt, I came
across a web site that claimed to "debunk" the claim that the CIA deliberately spread whooping
cough in Florida in 1955. The author of the page is unhappy that a Wikipedia entry on human
experimentation offers three references for the alleged incident in Tampa Bay, and that two of
them repeat the claim without specifying a further source, while the third refers to the following
1979 article:

For anyone seeking to learn the truth, this evidence and dot-connecting makes CIA criminality
probable enough to make us want to get to the bottom of it, to find confirmation if possible, or to
explore similar cases that will help us understand the bigger picture. Had our erstwhile
"debunker" been interested in the truth or possessed of an unbiased perspective, he would
have admitted that the whooping cough case, while not proven as far as the UPI article goes, is
indeed possible and even probable given the larger context. He could have also sought to
clarify why the other two references did not seem to offer a proper source, either by examining
the texts or by contacting their authors, or he could have consulted alternative sources of his
own.
The problem with debunkers is that they are not really interested in getting to the bottom of
things. Their objective is only to "debunk" and they make no secret of it (notice the name of the
site: Metabunk.org), so they satisfy themselves with picking single, isolated cases and claiming
that there is no 'smoking gun', therefore 'winning the argument' and implying that the whole
topic is merely paranoid thinking. In doing so, they ignore the cumulative evidence of hundreds
of cases and the fact that the object of study, by its very nature, makes it unlikely that any
'smoking gun' evidence will be found - although such evidence does appear from time to time.
Remember, the CIA works in secret and is highly motivated to keep things that way. For this
reason, the fact that so much material has already come to light should give us a hint about
what really happens behind the scenes.

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.

Until recently, people who believe the government is beaming voices into their heads would have added social
isolation to their catalogue of woes. But now, many have discovered hundreds, possibly thousands, of others
just like them all over the world. Web sites dedicated to electronic harassment and gang stalking have popped
up in India, China, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Russia and elsewhere. Victims have begun to
host support meetings in major cities, including Washington. Favorite topics at the meetings include lessons
on how to build shields (the proverbial tinfoil hats), media and PR training, and possible legal strategies for
outlawing mind control.
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.
Unable to garner much support from their elected representatives, TIs have started their own PR campaign.
And so, last spring, the Saturday conference calls centered on plans to hold a rally in Washington. A 2005
attempt at a rally drew a few dozen people and was ultimately rained out; the TIs were determined to make
another go of it. Conversations focused around designing T-shirts, setting up congressional appointments,
fundraising, creating a new Web site and formalizing a slogan. After some debate over whether to focus on
gang stalking or mind control, the group came up with a compromise slogan that covered both: "Freedom
From Covert Surveillance and Electronic Harassment."
Conference call moderator Robinson, who says his gang stalking began when he worked at the National
Security Agency in the 1980s, offers his assessment of the group's prospects: Maybe this rally wouldn't
produce much press, but it's a first step. "I see this as a movement," he says. "We're picking up people all the
time."
HARLAN GIRARD SAYS HIS PROBLEMS BEGAN IN 1983, while he was a real estate developer in Los
Angeles. The harassment was subtle at first: One day a woman pulled up in a car, wagged her finger at him,
then sped away; he saw people running underneath his window at night; he noticed some of his neighbors
seemed to be watching him; he heard someone moving in the crawl space under his apartment at night.
Girard sought advice from this then-girlfriend, a practicing psychologist, whom he declines to identify. He
says she told him, "Nobody can become psychotic in their late 40s." She said he didn't seem to manifest other
symptoms of psychotic behavior -- he dressed well, paid his bills -- and, besides his claims of surveillance,
which sounded paranoid, he behaved normally. "People who are psychotic are socially isolated," he recalls
her saying.
After a few months, Girard says, the harassment abruptly stopped. But the respite didn't last. In 1984,
appropriately enough, things got seriously weird. He'd left his real estate career to return to school at the
University of Pennsylvania, where he was studying for a master's degree in landscape architecture. He
harbored dreams of designing parks and public spaces. Then, he says, he began to hear voices. Girard could
distinguish several different male voices, which came complete with a mental image of how the voices were
being generated: from a recording studio, with "four slops sitting around a card table drinking beer," he says.
The voices were crass but also strangely courteous, addressing him as "Mr. Girard."
They taunted him. They asked him if he thought he was normal; they suggested he was going crazy. They

insulted his classmates: When an overweight student showed up for a field trip in a white raincoat, they said,
"Hey, Mr. Girard, doesn't she look like a refrigerator?"
Six months after the voices began, they had another question for him: "Mr. Girard, Mr. Girard. Why aren't
you dead yet?" At first, he recalls, the voices would speak just two or three times a day, but it escalated into a
near-constant cacophony, often accompanied by severe pain all over his body -- which Girard now attributes
to directed-energy weapons that can shoot invisible beams.
The voices even suggested how he could figure out what was happening to him. He says they told him to go to
the electrical engineering department to "tell them you're writing science fiction and you don't want to write
anything inconsistent with physical reality. Then tell them exactly what has happened."
Girard went and got some rudimentary explanations of how technology could explain some of the things he
was describing.
"Finally, I said: 'Look, I must come to the point, because I need answers. This is happening to me; it's not
science fiction.'" They laughed.
He got the same response from friends, he says. "They regarded me as crazy, which is a humiliating
experience."
When asked why he didn't consult a doctor about the voices and the pain, he says, "I don't dare start talking
to people because of the potential stigma of it all. I don't want to be treated differently. Here I was in
Philadelphia. Something was going on, I don't know any doctors . . . I know somebody's doing something to
me."
It was a struggle to graduate, he says, but he was determined, and he persevered. In 1988, the same year he
finished his degree, his father died, leaving Girard an inheritance large enough that he did not have to work.
So, instead of becoming a landscape architect, Girard began a full-time investigation of what was happening
to him, often traveling to Washington in pursuit of government documents relating to mind control. He put an
ad in a magazine seeking other victims. Only a few people responded. But over the years, as he met more and
more people like himself, he grew convinced that he was part of what he calls an "electronic concentration
camp."
What he was finding on his research trips also buttressed his belief: Girard learned that in the 1950s, the CIA
had drugged unwitting victims with LSD as part of a rogue mind-control experiment called MK-ULTRA. He
came across references to the CIA seeking to influence the mind with electromagnetic fields. Then he found
references in an academic research book to work that military researchers at Walter Reed Army Institute of
Research had done in the 1970s with pulsed microwaves to transmit words that a subject would hear in his
head. Elsewhere, he came across references to attempts to use electromagnetic energy, sound waves or
microwave beams to cause non-lethal pain to the body. For every symptom he experienced, he believed he
found references to a weapon that could cause it.
How much of the research Girard cites checks out?
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.
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. So, yes, there is technology designed to beam painful invisible rays at humans, but
the weapon seems to fall far short of what could account for many of the TIs' symptoms. While its exact
range is classified, Doug Beason, an expert in directed-energy weapons, puts it at about 700 meters, and the
beam cannot penetrate a number of materials, such as aluminum. Considering the size of the full-scale
weapon, which resembles a satellite dish, and its operational limitations, the ability of the government or
anyone else to shoot beams at hundreds of people -- on city streets, into their homes and while they travel in
cars and planes -- is beyond improbable.
But, 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.
Girard, for his part, believes these weapons were not only developed but were also tested on him more than
20 years ago.
What would the government gain by torturing him? Again, Girard found what he believed to be an
explanation, or at least a precedent: During the Cold War, the government conducted radiation experiments
on scores of unwitting victims, essentially using them as human guinea pigs. Girard came to believe that he,
too, was a walking experiment.
Not that Girard thinks his selection was totally random: He believes he was targeted because of a disparaging

remark he made to a Republican fundraiser about George H.W. Bush in the early 1980s. Later, Girard says,
the voices confirmed his suspicion.
"One night I was going to bed; the usual drivel was going on," he says. "The constant stream of drivel. I was
just about to go to bed, and a voice says: 'Mr. Girard, do you know who was in our studio with us? That was
George Bush, vice president of the United States.'"
GIRARD'S STORY, HOWEVER STRANGE, reflects what TIs around the world report: a chance encounter
with a government agency or official, followed by surveillance and gang stalking, and then, in many cases,
voices, and pain similar to electric shocks. Some in the community have taken it upon themselves to
document as many cases as possible. One TI from California conducted about 50 interviews, narrowing the
symptoms down to several major areas: "ringing in the ears," "manipulation of body parts," "hearing voices,"
"piercing sensation on skin," "sinus problems" and "sexual attacks." In fact, the TI continued, "many report
the sensation of having their genitalia manipulated."
Both male and female TIs report a variety of "attacks" to their sexual organs. "My testicles became so sore I
could barely walk," Girard says of his early experiences. Others, however, report the attacks in the form of
sexual stimulation, including one TI who claims he dropped out of the seminary after constant sexual
stimulation by directed-energy weapons. Susan Sayler, a TI in San Diego, says many women among the TIs
suffer from attacks to their sexual organs but are often embarrassed to talk about it with outsiders.
"It's sporadic, you just never know when it will happen," she says. "A lot of the women say it's as soon as you
lay down in bed -- that's when you would get hit the worst. It happened to me as I was driving, at odd times."
What made her think it was an electronic attack and not just in her head? "There was no sexual attraction to a
man when it would happen. That's what was wrong. It did not feel like a muscle spasm or whatever," she says.
"It's so . . . electronic."
Gloria Naylor, a renowned African American writer, seems to defy many of the stereotypes of someone who
believes in mind control. A winner of the National Book Award, Naylor is best known for her acclaimed
novel, The Women of Brewster Place, which described a group of women living in a poor urban
neighborhood and was later made into a miniseries by Oprah Winfrey.
But in 2005, she published a lesser-known work, 1996, a semi-autobiographical book describing her
experience as a TI. "I didn't want to tell this story. It's going to take courage. Perhaps more courage than I
possess, but they've left me no alternatives," Naylor writes at the beginning of her book. "I am in a battle for
my mind. If I stop now, they'll have won, and I will lose myself." The book is coherent, if hard to believe. It's
also marked by disturbing passages describing how Jewish American agents were responsible for Naylor's
surveillance. "Of the many cars that kept coming and going down my road, most were driven by Jews," she
writes in the book. When asked about that passage in a recent interview, she defended her logic: Being from
New York, she claimed, she can recognize Jews.
Naylor lives on a quiet street in Brooklyn in a majestic brownstone with an interior featuring intricate
woodwork and tasteful decorations that attest to a successful literary career. She speaks about her situation
calmly, occasionally laughing at her own predicament and her struggle with what she originally thought was
mental illness. "I would observe myself," she explains. "I would lie in bed while the conversations were going
on, and I'd ask: Maybe it is schizophrenia?"
Like Girard, Naylor describes what she calls "street theater" -- incidents that might be dismissed by others as
coincidental, but which Naylor believes were set up. She noticed suspicious cars driving by her isolated
vacation home. On an airplane, fellow passengers mimicked her every movement -- like mimes on a street.

Voices similar to those in Girard's case followed -- taunting voices cursing her, telling her she was stupid, that
she couldn't write. Expletive-laced language filled her head. Naylor sought help from a psychiatrist and
received a prescription for an antipsychotic drug. But the medication failed to stop the voices, she says, which
only added to her conviction that the harassment was real.
For almost four years, Naylor says, the voices prevented her from writing. In 2000, she says, around the time
she discovered the mind-control forums, the voices stopped and the surveillance tapered off. It was then that
she began writing 1996 as a "catharsis."
Colleagues urged Naylor not to publish the book, saying she would destroy her reputation. But she did
publish, albeit with a small publishing house. The book was generally ignored by critics but embraced by TIs.
Naylor is not the first writer to describe such a personal descent. Evelyn Waugh, one of the great novelists of
the 20th century, details similar experiences in The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold. Waugh's book, published in
1957, has eerie similarities to Naylor's.
Embarking on a recuperative cruise, Pinfold begins to hear voices on the ship that he believes are part of a
wireless system capable of broadcasting into his head; he believes the instigator recruited fellow passengers to
act as operatives; and he describes "performances" put on by passengers directed at him yet meant to look
innocuous to others.
Waugh wrote his book several years after recovering from a similar episode and realizing that the voices and
paranoia were the result of drug-induced hallucinations.
Naylor, who hasn't written a book since 1996, is now back at work on an historical novel she hopes will return
her to the literary mainstream. She remains convinced that she was targeted by mind control. The many
echoes of her ordeal she sees on the mind-control forums reassure her she's not crazy, she says.
Of course, some of the things she sees on the forum do strike her as crazy. "But who I am to say?" she says.
"Maybe I sound crazy to somebody else."
SOME TIS, SUCH AS ED MOORE, A YOUNG MEDICAL DOCTOR, take a slightly more skeptical
approach. He criticizes what he calls the "wacky claims" of TIs who blame various government agencies or
groups of people without any proof. "I have yet to see a claim of who is behind this that has any data to
support it," he writes.
Nonetheless, Moore still believes the voices in his head are the result of mind control and that the U.S.
government is the most likely culprit. Moore started hearing voices in 2003, just as he completed his medical
residency in anesthesiology; he was pulling an all-nighter studying for board exams when he heard voices
coming from a nearby house commenting on him, on his abilities as a doctor, on his sanity. At first, he thought
he was simply overhearing conversations through walls (much as Waugh's fictional alter ego first thought),
but when no one else could hear the voices, he realized they were in his head. Moore went through a
traumatic two years, including hospitalization for depression with auditory hallucinations.
"One tries to convince friends and family that you are being electronically harassed with voices that only you
can hear," he writes in an e-mail. "You learn to stop doing that. They don't believe you, and they become sad
and concerned, and it amplifies your own depression when you have voices screaming at you and your friends
and family looking at you as a helpless, sick, mentally unbalanced wreck."
He says he grew frustrated with anti-psychotic medications meant to stop the voices, both because the
treatments didn't work and because psychiatrists showed no interest in what the voices were telling him. He
began to look for some other way to cope.

"In March of 2005, I started looking up support groups on the Internet," he wrote. "My wife would cry when
she would see these sites, knowing I still heard voices, but I did not know what else to do." In 2006, he says,
his wife, who had stood by him for three years, filed for divorce.
Moore, like other TIs, is cautious about sharing details of his life. He worries about looking foolish to friends
and colleagues -- but he says that risk is ultimately worthwhile if he can bring attention to the issue.
With his father's financial help, Moore is now studying for an electrical engineering degree at the University
of Texas at San Antonio, hoping to prove that V2K, the technology to send voices into people's heads, is real.
Being in school, around other people, helps him cope, he writes, but the voices continue to taunt him.
Recently, he says, they told him: "We'll never stop [messing] with you."
A WEEK BEFORE THE TIS RALLY ON THE NATIONAL MALL, John Alexander, one of the people
whom Harlan Girard holds personally responsible for the voices in his head, is at a Chili's restaurant in Crystal
City explaining over a Philly cheese steak and fries why the United States needs mind-control weapons.
A former Green Beret who served in Vietnam, Alexander went on to a number of national security jobs, and
rubbed shoulders with prominent military and political leaders. Long known for taking an interest in exotic
weapons, his 1980 article, "The New Mental Battlefield," published in the Army journal Military Review, is
cited by self-described victims as proof of his complicity in mind control. Now retired from the government
and living in Las Vegas, Alexander continues to advise the military. He is in the Washington area that day for
an official meeting.
Beneath a shock of white hair is the mind of a self-styled military thinker. Alexander belongs to a particular
set of Pentagon advisers who consider themselves defense intellectuals, focusing on big-picture issues, future
threats and new capabilities. Alexander's career led him from work on sticky foam that would stop an enemy
in his or her tracks to dalliances in paranormal studies and psychics, which he still defends as operationally
useful.
In an earlier phone conversation, Alexander said that in the 1990s, when he took part in briefings at the CIA,
there was never any talk of "mind control, or mind-altering drugs or technologies, or anything like that."
According to Alexander, the military and intelligence agencies were still scared by the excesses of
MK-ULTRA, the infamous CIA program that involved, in part, slipping LSD to unsuspecting victims. "Until
recently, anything that smacked of [mind control] was extremely dangerous" because Congress would simply
take the money away, he said.
Alexander acknowledged that "there were some abuses that took place," but added that, on the whole, "I
would argue we threw the baby out with the bath water."
But September 11, 2001, changed the mood in Washington, and some in the national security community are
again expressing interest in mind control, particularly a younger generation of officials who weren't around for
MK-ULTRA. "It's interesting, that it's coming back," Alexander observed.
While Alexander scoffs at the notion that he is somehow part of an elaborate plot to control people's minds,
he acknowledges support for learning how to tap into a potential enemy's brain. He gives as an example the
possible use of functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, for lie detection. "Brain mapping" with fMRI
theoretically could allow interrogators to know when someone is lying by watching for activity in particular
parts of the brain. For interrogating terrorists, fMRI could come in handy, Alexander suggests. But any
conceivable use of the technique would fall far short of the kind of mind-reading TIs complain about.
Alexander also is intrigued by the possibility of using electronic means to modify behavior. The dilemma of

the war on terrorism, he notes, is that it never ends. So what do you do with enemies, such as those at
Guantanamo: keep them there forever? That's impractical. Behavior modification could be an alternative, he
says.
"Maybe I can fix you, or electronically neuter you, so it's safe to release you into society, so you won't come
back and kill me," Alexander says. It's only a matter of time before technology allows that scenario to come
true, he continues. "We're now getting to where we can do that." He pauses for a moment to take a bite of his
sandwich. "Where does that fall in the ethics spectrum? That's a really tough question."
When Alexander encounters a query he doesn't want to answer, such as one about the ethics of mind control,
he smiles and raises his hands level to his chest, as if balancing two imaginary weights. In one hand is mind
control and the sanctity of free thought -- and in the other hand, a tad higher -- is the war on terrorism.
But none of this has anything to do with the TIs, he says. "Just because things are secret, people tend to
extrapolate. Common sense does not prevail, and even when you point out huge leaps in logic that just cannot
be true, they are not dissuaded."
WHAT IS IT THAT BRINGS SOMEONE, EVEN AN INTELLIGENT PERSON, to ascribe the experience of
hearing disembodied voices to government weapons?
In her book, Abducted, Harvard psychologist Susan Clancy examines a group that has striking parallels to the
TIs: people who believe they've been kidnapped by aliens. The similarities are often uncanny: Would-be
abductees describe strange pains, and feelings of being watched or targeted. And although the alleged
abductees don't generally have auditory hallucinations, they do sometimes believe that their thoughts are
controlled by aliens, or that they've been implanted with advanced technology.
(On the online forum, some TIs posted vociferous objections to the parallel, concerned that the public finds
UFOs even weirder than mind control. "It will keep us all marginalized and discredited," one griped.)
Clancy argues that the main reason people believe they've been abducted by aliens is that it provides them
with a compelling narrative to explain their perception that strange things have happened to them, such as
marks on their bodies (marks others would simply dismiss as bruises), stimulation to their sexual organs (as
the TIs describe) or feelings of paranoia. "It's not just an explanation for your problems; it's a source of
meaning for your life," Clancy says.
In the case of TIs, mind-control weapons are an explanation for the voices they hear in their head. Socrates
heard a voice and thought it was a demon; Joan of Arc heard voices from God. As one TI noted in an e-mail:
"Each person undergoing this harassment is looking for the solution to the problem. Each person analyzes it
through his or her own particular spectrum of beliefs. If you are a scientific-minded person, then you will
probably analyze the situation from that perspective and conclude it must be done with some kind of
electronic devices. If you are a religious person, you will see it as a struggle between the elements of
whatever religion you believe in. If you are maybe, perhaps more eccentric, you may think that it is alien in
nature."
Or, if you happen to live in the United States in the early 21st century, you may fear the growing power of the
NSA, CIA and FBI.
Being a victim of government surveillance is also, arguably, better than being insane. In Waugh's novella
based on his own painful experience, when Pinfold concludes that hidden technology is being used to
infiltrate his brain, he "felt nothing but gratitude in his discovery." Why? "He might be unpopular; he might be
ridiculous; but he was not mad."
Ralph Hoffman, a professor of psychiatry at Yale who has studied auditory hallucinations, regularly sees

people who believe the voices are a part of government harassment (others believe they are God, dead
relatives or even ex-girlfriends). Not all people who hear voices are schizophrenic, he says, noting that people
can hear voices episodically in highly emotional states. What exactly causes these voices is still unknown, but
one thing is certain: People who think the voices are caused by some external force are rarely dissuaded from
their delusional belief, he says. "These are highly emotional and gripping experiences that are so compelling
for them that ordinary reality seems bland."
Perhaps because the experience is so vivid, he says, even some of those who improve through treatment
merely decide the medical regimen somehow helped protect their brain from government weapons.
Scott Temple, a professor of psychiatry at Penn State University who has been involved in two recent studies
of auditory hallucinations, notes that those who suffer such hallucinations frequently lack insight into their
illness. Even among those who do understand they are sick, "that awareness comes and goes," he says.
"People feel overwhelmed, and the delusional interpretations return."
BACK AT THE PHILADELPHIA TRAIN STATION, Girard seems more agitated. In a meeting the week
before, his "handlers" had spoken to him only briefly -- they weren't in the right position to attack him, Girard
surmises, based on the lack of voices. Today, his conversation jumps more rapidly from one subject to the
next: victims of radiation experiments, his hatred of George H.W. Bush, MK-ULTRA, his personal
experiences.
Asked about his studies at Penn, he replies by talking about his problems with reading: "I told you, everything
I write they dictate to me," he says, referring again to the voices. "When I read, they're reading to me. My
eyes go across; they're moving my eyes down the line. They're reading it to me. When I close the book, I can't
remember a thing I read. That's why they do it."
The week before, Girard had pointed to only one person who appeared suspicious to him -- a young African
American man reading a book; this time, however, he hears more voices, which leads him to believe the
station is crawling with agents.
"Let's change our location," Girard says after a while. "I'm sure they have 40 or 50 people in here today. I
escaped their surveillance last time -- they won't let that happen again."
Asked to explain the connection between mind control and the University of Pennsylvania, which Girard
alleges is involved in the conspiracy, he begins to talk about defense contractors located near the Philadelphia
campus: "General Electric was right next to the parking garage; General Electric Space Systems occupies a
huge building right over there. From that building, you could see into the studio where I was doing my work
most of the time. I asked somebody what they were doing there. You know, it had to do with computers. GE
Space Systems. They were supposed to be tracking missile debris from this location . . . pardon me. What was
your question again?"
Yet many parts of Girard's life seem to reflect that of any affluent 70-year-old bachelor. He travels frequently
to France for extended vacations and takes part in French cultural activities in Philadelphia. He has set up a
travel scholarship at the Cleveland Institute of Art in the name of his late mother, who attended school there
(he changed his last name 27 years ago for "personal reasons"), and he travels to meet the students who
benefit from the fund. And while the bulk of his time is spent on his research and writing about mind control,
he has other interests. He follows politics and describes outings with friends and family members with whom
he doesn't talk about mind control, knowing they would view it skeptically.
Girard acknowledges that some of his experiences mirror symptoms of schizophrenia, but asked if he ever
worried that the voices might in fact be caused by mental illness, he answers sharply with one word: "No."

Wearing a monogrammed dress shirt and tie, he looks, as always, serious and professional.
Girard declines to mention whom on Capitol Hill he'd met with, other than to say it was a congressional
staffer. Embarrassment is likely a factor: Girard readily acknowledges that most people he meets with,
ranging from scholars to politicians, ignore his entreaties or dismiss him as a lunatic.
Lately, his focus is on his Web site, which he sees as the culmination of nearly a quarter-century of research.
When completed, it will contain more than 300 pages of documents. What next? Maybe he'll move to France
(there are victims there, too), or maybe the U.S. government will finally just kill him, he says.
Meanwhile, he is always searching for absolute proof that the government has decoded the brain. His latest
interest is LifeLog, a project once funded by the Pentagon that he read about in Wired News. The article
described it this way: "The embryonic LifeLog program would dump everything an individual does into a
giant database: every e-mail sent or received, every picture taken, every Web page surfed, every phone call
made, every TV show watched, every magazine read. All of this -- and more -- would combine with
information gleaned from a variety of sources: a GPS transmitter to keep tabs on where that person went,
audiovisual sensors to capture what he or she sees or says, and biomedical monitors to keep track of the
individual's health."
Girard suggests that the government, using similar technology, has "catalogued" his life over the past two
years -- every sight and sound (Evelyn Waugh, in his mind-control book, writes about his character's similar
fear that his harassers were creating a file of his entire life).
Girard thinks the government can control his movements, inject thoughts into his head, cause him pain day
and night. He believes that he will die a victim of mind control.
Is there any reason for optimism?
Girard hesitates, then asks a rhetorical question.
"Why, despite all this, why am I the same person? Why am I Harlan Girard?"
For all his anguish, be it the result of mental illness or, as Girard contends, government mind control, the
voices haven't managed to conquer the thing that makes him who he is: Call it his consciousness, his intellect
or, perhaps, his soul.
"That's what they don't yet have," he says. After 22 years, "I'm still me."
