Self-contradiction of Mind Control

医学の恐ろしさ

　第二次世界大戦当時、旧日本軍、とりわけ７３１部隊は､中国大陸で恐ろしいことを行った。しかも、その７３１部隊の構成員だった者が､終戦後に国内に戻り､どうしたわけか社会的に重要な地位についてしまったのである。大学教授や研究機関の所長、中には学長になったものもいる。これは、後世に禍根を残すことになった。日本語に“薫陶”という言葉がある。この言葉は普通、良い意味で使われる。師の人格、生き方や考え方が、弟子の人格に知らず知らずのうちに影響を及ぼす､という意味である。しかし、逆に考えれば､師がもしも非人間的で恐ろしい人格の持ち主であったならば､その弟子も知らず知らずのうちに非人間的な恐ろしい人格の持ち主になってしまう､ということになるではないか。７３１部隊の構成員であった者が､大学教授（中には学長になったものもいる）になって多くの医学生の教育指導を行っていたのである。恐ろしい非人間的な教授の人格が､たくさんの弟子達に受け継がれていったのである。その弟子たちも､医学界のエリートになっていたことだろう。医学の研究者や高名な医師になっていたに違いない。弟子達の多くも、やはりたくさんの学生たちを教育指導すべき地位についていたに違いない。ここでもまた“薫陶”（悪い意味での､恐ろしい意味での）が起こる。現代の医学がいかに恐ろしいものになっているか了解できるのではないか（特に､医師の中でも研究者、つまり大学の医学部教授の恐ろしさは測り知れない）。人間を実験材料としか見ないような、７３１部隊の後裔たちである。
　仮に病気にかかって､医師の治療によって治癒したとしよう。その治療方法が､おぞましい人体実験によって開発されたものであったとしたら､そのような治癒に満足できるだろうか。肉体的な病気は平癒したとしても､精神的な深い負い目､恐ろしい傷跡を背負い込まねばならない。そんな治療なんか拒否したほうがよいのではないだろうか。医学の発達の基礎に、忌まわしいものがあるとすれば､そんな医学の知見なんか､いったん捨て去ってしまったほうが良いのではないだろうか。なお、神経科学は、医学の一部門であろう。
　それでは、アメリカの場合はどうだろうか。アメリカは、７３１部隊の関係者を免責するのと引き換えに、人体実験によって得られた資料を受け取った。その後のアメリカの医学の進歩の基礎に、日本と同様、忌まわしいことを行って得られた知見がある。それによって、アメリカもやはり悪魔の仲間入りをしてしまったのである。
　大変なことであるけれども､第二次大戦後に得られた医学の進歩を御破算にしてしまおう。でないと、人間が､人類が自滅してしまう。

Greenhouse cultivation

Greenhouse vegetables are considerably poor in nutritive elements compared with vegetables grown outdoors. Spinach, for example, grows in winter. Spinach in summer is raised in a plastic greenhouse. Spinach in summer is about one-third the vitamin C content of that in winter. So Popeye could not beat Bruto. It means that a living thing which was raised in a artificial environment or in an environment against nature is unhealthy. And it loses its life force. Human being is also a living thing. Even if they try to enhance their mental abilities artificially and mechanically, they will be unhealthy physically and mentally in exchange. And they will lose their life forces. The human species will be weakened and be in danger of extinction.
The perpetrators ought to discern that. If they do not discern that, they are complete fool. For all their discerning that, they do the damnedest silly things. Do they have the intention of exterminating the human race in earnest? They are enemies to mankind. (August 8, 2010)

Japanese version
ハウス栽培の野菜は､露地物に比べて栄養素が激減する。例えば、ほうれん草は冬の野菜であるから､夏に売られているほうれん草は､当然ハウスで栽培されたものである。夏のほうれん草は､冬のほうれん草に比べてビタミンCが3分の１しかない。これではポパイはブルートをやっつけることができなくなるかもしれない。つまり、これは人工的な環境､自然に逆らった不自然な状況で育てられた生き物は､どうしても不健康になり､生命力が衰えるということを意味している。生物である人間も､当然同じである。人工的・機械的にいくら精神的能力を増進しようとしても､それと引き換えに肉体的・精神的に不健康になってしまう。その人の生命力そのものが減退し､弱弱しいものになってしまうのである。人類という種自体が衰えていき､滅びに向かって突き進んでいくかもしれない。
　犯人どもは､このことに気がついているはずだ。気がつかなければ､とんでもない馬鹿である。気がついておりながら､馬鹿気たことを続けるのは､本当に人類を滅ぼすつもりなのか。まさに人類の敵である。（2010年8月８日）

I could not upload new contents "Whose doing is this?" to this site. But afterward it showed up by itself. What happened?
An occurrence like the following might have happened. The person in charge of the access provider was checking the system. He found the letters which I wrote. I wrote that I could not upload it. So he tracked down and eliminated a bug.
But I am not sure. Did rascally fellows hack into my personal computer, the access provider or Internet?

Whose doing is this?

In case of determination of identities of perpetrators, we will be able to know their purposes. In case we establish motives for the disgraceful deeds, we will be able to determine the perpetrators. But we cannot establish the motive and determine them.
Does it occur that a group tries to carry out a takeover of a government agency? Let us suppose that some people who have a certain type of belief (or thought) increase and get a majority in the hub of the government agency with the years. That is equivalent to the takeover of the agency. The group will seize great power. The people who belong to the group will look like behind-the-scenes men of power. I cannot understand the conspiracy theory. I have some doubts about it. But assuming that is the case in the government agency, the phenomenon that is emerging in the government agency is similar to the phenomenon that the conspiracy theorists advocate.
By the way, ancient Greece laid the foundations of Western civilization. I am sure the ancient Greeks were superior. But the Romaic (the modern Greeks) and the ancient Greeks are not ethnically the same people. A possible cause is that Greece was governed by the Roman Empire and Turkish Empire. At any rate, the ancient Greeks got scattered over the world. A historical theory has been proposed to explain that. The theory says as follows. The ancient Greeks were considerably superior. They discussed democracy and philosophical question between themselves while they were taking a walk. But they did not have to work for their living. They were sustained by labors of slave. The factor in their decline is their attitudes that they neglected some people’s rights and dignity and they did not cast a skeptical eye upon their attitudes. At any rate, however comfortably they live, the prosperity of the people who treat others as though others were worms does not continue. Their destinies will change.
Most probably the perpetrators are possessed by a devil. They are human beings in shape. Since human beings had experiences of a people’s revolution, democracy, the principle of equality, liberalism and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, the moderns are different from the ancient Greeks. Because we became conscious of the importance of the fundamental human rights, a man who does not treat others like a person will lose his own humanity.
If all the more human portion of the perpetrators do not have left them, they must carry a painful burden of guilt. They must be gone. So they may possibly need something to go by in life. Because they lost their humanities and are no better than devils, it may be devil worship. But if it is a primitive and perverse religion (devil worship), they might feel their pride wounded, since they make free use of a frontier science. Such a religion is wretched and shameful. Then what is it?
It may be science in appearance. Many people regard it as science. But it is not science in substance. The true nature of it is no better than devil worship. Is that science in existence? There is but one science. It hides under a cloak of psychology though it is devil worship essentially. It is Jungian psychology. People in general may think that it cannot be. But see the following web site concerning Jungian psychology as it really is. “Criticism against Jungian Psychology” http://www.k2.dion.ne.jp/~gorom/index.html
I do not affirm that Jungian psychologists are the perpetrators. I want to call your attention to that point. There is no evidence of that. But I assert as follows. There may be many adherents of Jungian psychology among the perpetrators. Their purposes are to free themselves from guilt. But they will be nothing but devils. Carl Gustav Jung had a connection with the Nazis. Some say that he was a collaborator of Hitler. That psychology is vicious and terrible one. It is secretive. And it is a suitable psychology for inhuman and coldhearted people. The adherents of Jungian psychology are snakes in human being’s bosom.
In case that Jungians are not perpetrators, it is certain that they are victims. There is something strange about their behaviors. Their behaviors are similar to those of adherents of a fanatical cult. In that case, the perpetrators must be primitive diabolists. What pathetic people they are! (June 12, 2010)

加害者について
　もしも犯人を特定できれば､その目的はおおよそ見当がつくだろう。もしもその目的を特定できたならば､犯人はかなり絞り込むことができると言ってよい。ところが、われわれは、その両方をいまだに明確に特定することができずにいる。これはかなり苦しいのだ。
　ある政府機関が特定のグループに乗っ取られてしまう､ということがあるだろうか。その機関の中枢部において､ある信念（思想）を信奉するグループの構成員が長い時間（年月）をかけて次第に多くなり､やがて多数派になったとすれば､｢乗っ取り｣と同じような状況に立ち至るであろう。その信念を信奉するグループは､あたかも陰の権力者ででもあるかのように､絶大な権力を振るってでもいるかのような状況になるであろう。僕は陰謀論はよく分からない。疑問を感じる点もたくさんある。しかし､政府機関において､そのような状況が現われたとしたならば､これは陰謀論者の説くところとまさに同一の現象が現出してくるのである。
　話が変わるが､古代ギリシャは、西洋文明の礎となった。古代ギリシャ人はきっと極めて優秀な民族であったにちがいない､というのがわれわれが抱く印象であろう。ところが、古代ギリシャ人と現代ギリシャ人とは全く別の民族なのである。これは、古代ローマやトルコ帝国の支配を受けていたからだろう。とにかく、古代のギリシャ人は、現在では世界各地に散り散りになってしまっているのである。この原因について､歴史学では次のように考える説がある。古代ギリシャ人は、確かにとびぬけて優秀な人々であった。しかし､彼らが､毎日､民主主義について議論し､逍遥しながら哲学について論じ合うような優雅な生活を支えていたのは､彼ら自身の労働ではない。それを支えていたのは､奴隷の労働であったのである。人間を人間としてみない考え方､それを当然のように生活の基本とした態度､それが彼らを衰退・没落へと追いやったのである。これが歴史学の一つの説である。とにかく、自分を他の人間よりも一段上の人間とみなしたとき､次の瞬間にその反転がやってくる。
　犯人どもは悪魔に魂を売り渡してしまったのだろう。もう人間であることをやめている。人類は､ひとたび市民革命や人権宣言を経験して人権の大切さを自覚し､それから民主主義､自由主義､平等主義を経験したのだから､古代ギリシア人とは違う。他の人間を､人間以下のように扱ったりしたら､それは自分自身に跳ね返ってくることに気がついた。他人を人間以下のように扱う者自身の精神が人間以下のものになってしまう。それは古代ギリシャ人の場合よりも､確実で､はるかに度合いが大きい。
　しかし､犯人どもに人間らしい心のひとかけらでも残っていたならば､このような悪行に耐えられるものではない。身がもたないであろう。それで､やつらの精神は駄目になるはずだ。そのとき、犯人どもは何か心の拠り所を求める可能性があるのではないだろうか。犯人どもは人間性を失って､すでに悪魔同然になっているから､それは悪魔崇拝であるかもしれない。しかし､原始的な邪教の悪魔崇拝では､最先端の科学技術を駆使しているらしいやつらとしては､いささか自尊心を傷つけられるのではないだろうか。それではあまりにも情けないではないか。それでは､それは何なのだろう。
それは、科学の衣をまとったものであるかもしれない。表面的には､多くの人が､それは科学だろうと考えている。ところが､実質的には悪魔崇拝と同じであるもの､そんなものがあるだろうか。実は､たったひとつだけ存在するのである。看板は確かに心理学をかかげている。しかし､本質的には悪魔崇拝にすぎないもの､それこそユング心理学である。おおかたの人は､まさかそんなはずはない､と考えるかもしれない。だが､ユング心理学の恐ろしい真の姿については､次のWebサイトを参照していただきたい。｢ユング心理学批判｣http://www.k2.dion.ne.jp/~gorom/index.html
　日本ではユング派が勢力を増してきているではないか。日本の大学でこのうさんくさい心理学の講座が多くなってきている。今は死んでしまったが､この心理学の大物で、すさまじい俗物は､文化庁長官になっていたではないか。多くの被害者達が､加害組織であると主張する創価学会は､このいかがわしい心理学にいかれているではないか（ぼくは、創価学会は加害者ではないと思う。この教団は､幼稚であまりにもレベルが低すぎる）。けれども、ユング派の心理学者が犯人だといっているわけではない。この点は注意してほしい。その証拠はない。ただ､犯人の中にユングの心理学を崇拝している者が多々いる可能性があるといっているのである。彼らの罪責感情を減らすためである。ところが、実際には単に悪魔になるにすぎないのである。ユングはナチスに通じている。ユングはヒトラーの協力者であったという説もある。まさに非人間的な者たちにとっては､うってつけの心理学ではないか。しかも秘密主義である。人類にとって獅子身中の虫なのである。
　ユング派の心理学者が犯人でないとすれば､彼らは被害者であろう。彼らの行動のしかたはあまりにも奇妙である。狂信的なカルト信者の行動によく似ている。この場合は､犯人は原始的な悪魔主義者であろう。情けない話である。（2010年6月1２日）

Do they carry out it for national security?

Carrying out mind control causes destruction of spirit or soul of a victim. And what is more it causes bankruptcy of spirit or soul of the perpetrator. What it comes down to is that both sides go down together. That must be a difficult experience for the perpetrators. If they carry out mind control for the purpose of the national security, it is possible that “nation” have lost the reason for the existence of itself in our globalized world. Many conflicts occur, many innocent people are killed and human rights are violated, for “nations” exist. It is better to establish the World Federation of Nations. The perpetrators and victims will not lose their humanities by doing this. But I do not consider it should be eerie federation as conspiracy theorists say, although I remain unconvinced of the truth of the conspiracy theory.

Japanese version
目的は安全保障？
　マインドコントロールは被害者の精神をつぶしてしまうものであるし、それと同時に加害者の精神もつぶしてしまうものである。要するに共倒れなのだ。加害者もつらかろう。これが国家安全保障を目的として行われているとしたら、このグローバル化した世界においては、“国家”という枠組みはもう既に意味がなくなってしまっているのではないだろうか。むしろ、国家があるからこそ、世界中至る所で紛争が生じ、無辜の市民が殺害され、人権の蹂躙が起きているのではないか。もう世界連邦を樹立するしかないのではないだろうか。そうすれば、マインドコントロール実行者も被害者もその人間性を喪失する原因を除去できる。ただし、その世界連邦が、いわゆる陰謀論者の言うが如きおどろおどろしいものになってはいけない。陰謀論については、よく分からない点が多いけれども。

Pretending
I pretend to be a devil. Although I do devilish things, I am not a devil, because I am tenderhearted by nature. That way of thinking does not make sense. If a person pretends to be a devil, the person is the very devil.
“Essays in Idleness” which is a Japanese classic work has similar kind of expression. “If a person runs a main street aping a lunatic, the person is a lunatic. If a person kills someone saying, ‘I am imitating a wicked person’, the person is a wicked person. If there is a horse that tries to follow a fine horse, it is a fine horse. If a son of Heaven tries to follow the example of Shun who is an ancient China’s emperor and enlightened monarch, the son of Heaven is an enlightened monarch. Wisdom is the will to learn from the wisdom of a wise person, even though one does that perfunctorily.” (Paragraph 85. Translated by skan.)

John Alexander is unwise. He said, according to “Mind Games”, that behavior modification using electronic means could be an alternative against terrorists. If a Guantanamo prisoner is a real terrorist, it might be better to send the terrorist to the scaffold. They probably know by use of electronic means whether the prisoner is a real terrorist or not. Although I do not want to pity the terrorist, behavior modification using electronic means is more inhumane than the death penalty. Behavior modification using electronic means is not behavior modification but destruction of human spirit or soul. It is the cruelest way. Let us assume that a boy has caught an insect. He plucked the insect’s limbs and observed the struggling insect. That is crueler and more inhumane than to kill it instantly. John Alexander is similar to the cruel boy. Is he imitating the cruel boy? Is he pretending a lunatic or devil? He had lost the human heart. He is the very real terrorist against human beings. He had become the very terrible devil. He was eating a sandwich in “Mind Games”. The sandwich was made by human beings. He must not eat that. He is not entitled to eat that, because he is not a member of human beings. And he must not wear clothes made by human beings, must not ride in a car made by human beings and must not read books and newspapers written by human beings. (But his only good point is that he is avowing openly his hideous thought. Other executors of mind control hide their face and carry on their gruesome deeds on the sly. They are the most disgusting terrorists against human beings.)

Japanese version
ふりをすること
　悪魔のようなことをしているけれども、オレは悪魔ではない。オレは本来優しくて思いやりが深い。このような論理は成り立たない。悪魔のまねをすれば、まさしく悪魔そのものである。
　『徒然草』に似たような表現がある。「狂人の真似とて大路を走らば、即ち狂人なり。悪人の真似とて人を殺さば、悪人なり。驥を学ぶは驥の類ひ、舜を学ぶは舜の徒なり。偽りても賢を学ばんを、賢といふべし。」（第85段）

　ジョン・アレクサンダーは浅はかである。『マインド・ゲーム』で、テロリストには電子的な手段による行動修正が取り得る方法だと述べている。グアンタナモの囚人が、もしも本物のテロリストならば、処刑するほうがよい。本物かどうかは、電子的な手段を用いれば分かっているはずだ。テロリストを憐れむつもりはないが、電子的な手段による行動修正は、処刑よりももっと非人間的である。電子的な手段による行動修正は行動の修正ではない。精神の破壊である。例えば、虫を捕まえた子どもがいたとする。その子どもが、虫の手足をもぎ取って虫がじたばたともがくのを眺めているのと、一思いに殺してしまうのとどちらが残酷だろうか。前者のほうが、残酷で恐ろしい。ジョン・アレクサンダーは、この残酷な子どもに似ている。アレクサンダーは、その子の真似をしているのか。狂人を装っているのか。悪魔のふりをしているのか。アレクサンダーは人間の心をなくしてしまった。アレクサンダーこそ人類に対する本物のテロリストである。どうやらアレクサンダーは、正真正銘の悪魔になってしまったようである。“マインド・ゲーム”でアレクサンダーはサンドイッチを食べていた。サンドイッチは人間が作ったものである。アレクサンダーは、そのサンドイッチを食べてはならぬ。アレクサンダーは、それを食べる資格がない。人類の一員ではないからである。そして、人間が作った服を着てはならぬし、車に乗ってもいけない。人間が書いた書物や新聞を読んでもならぬ。（だが、アレクサンダーの唯一の取り柄は、彼のおぞましい考えを公言しているところである。他のやつらを見てみよ。社会の陰に隠れて、顔を表わそうともせず、おぞましい悪事を行っている。コソコソして顔を見せないマインド・コントロールの実行者達こそ最も忌まわしい人間に対するテロリストである。）

国家安全保障が目的？

もしもこの技術（マインドコントロール技術）の開発の目的が国家安全保障であるとしたならば、各国がその開発に性根が失せているのは、他国がいつこの技術において飛躍的な技術革新を秘密裏に成し遂げるか分からない、という不安・恐怖によるからである。そのような技術革新を成し遂げた国こそが世界の覇権国家となる。その国は、他国のマインドコントロール技術の開発に関係している政治指導者や政府機関の役人や科学者・研究者たちをマインドコントロールして監視し、支配下に置くだろう｡古代ローマ帝国の再現だ｡他の国々はローマ帝国の属州となる｡
以上のことを考慮すると、古代ローマ帝国の継承者（覇権国家）は、もう既に出現しているのではないか、という危惧がある｡現在この技術の分野において最先端を走っている国が、その技術的な優位性を利用して既に他の国のマインドコントロール技術の開発者をコントロール下に置いているのではないだろうか｡国家安全保障という観点から見ると、その最先端の国にとって、こうすることが最も理に適うことだろう｡
それならば、この技術を国家安全保障以外の目的のために使用するとすればどうだろうか。この場合、その目的は“完全に”国家安全保障とは切り離されたものでなければならない｡少しでも国家安全保障の目的の影が忍び込んでいたりすると、それはやはり国家安全保障のためのものなのだ。だから、純然と国家安全保障とは別個の目的でなければならない｡それは、無辜の一般市民にいやがらせして楽しんだり、犯罪者に仕立て上げたりといったレベルの話ではない（被害者本人にとっては大変なことだが）｡もっと大きなすさまじい目標であるはずだ｡でなければ、このような恐ろしいことができるはずがない｡いや、どんなに大きな目標があるにしても許されることではない｡実行者（加害者）は、このようなことを行うことによって、その精神は人間の世界から飛び出してしまっている｡彼らは、もう人を信じることも、愛することも、慈しむこともできない｡はるかな宇宙の果ての極寒の世界に住んでいる｡それなのに、彼らは相変わらず非人間的な行為にうつつを抜かしている｡その目標とは何なのだろう｡
その目標は不明である｡しかし、一つの可能性として次のような状況を想像してみよう｡各国の研究者たちが、それぞれ協力して各自の専門分野について共同研究することにしたとする｡その研究者とは、神経科学・脳科学・精神医学・心理学などの分野の研究者である。マインドコントロールから得られた知見を利用してやろうというわけだ｡彼らは、自分達の行う研究は国家安全保障とは全く別のもので関係がないと信じ込んでいる｡何しろ外国の研究者と協力するのだから、そこに国家安全保障の要素が入り込む余地はないと思い込んでいる｡このような趣旨のことを説明して、この技術を開発した軍か諜報機関からデバイスを借用してきた｡軍または諜報機関は、国家安全保障と関係のない目的に限って使用を許可してくれた｡このようにして、この研究者たちはマインドコントロール実験を行っているとすると、一方の軍または諜報機関は、この研究者たちを放置して好き勝手にさせておくだろうか｡開発者である軍または諜報機関がほうっておくはずがないのではないだろうか｡軍または諜報機関は、必ずこれらの研究者たちをひそかに監視し、コントロールしようとするに違いない｡そうして、このようなコントロールを行っている国は、この技術分野で現在最先端にある一国をおいてほかにない｡
こうしてみると、“完全に”国家安全保障とは切り離された目標ということはないのではないだろうか（いや、ひとつのケースにおいてのみ、これに当てはまると思うが）｡外見上、関係ないかに見えたとしても、必ず国家安全保障の影が忍び込んでくる｡実行者（加害者）も、マインドコントロールされているはずだ｡(2008.4.28)

　どうしても国家安全保障の目的の影は忍び込んでくる。どこかの国がこの技術において飛躍的な技術革新を達成すれば、その国が世界制覇することになる。その他の国の政治的指導者や役人や科学者をコントロールすればよいわけである。ということは、現時点においてこの技術分野において最先端を走っている国は、その優位性を最大限に利用することだろう。その国とは、“A”という国であると思われる。“R”や“C”も少し気になるところではあるが、やはり“A”とみるのが妥当なところだろう。Aは、自国以外の国がこの技術分野において内密に飛躍的な技術革新を行うことを恐れているはずである。従って、現在の優越的な立場を利用して、他の主要国のこの技術分野における開発に関係している政治家・政府機関の職員・科学者・研究者達を監視しコントロールするであろう。つまり、A国以外の国のこの技術の実行に携わる者はすべて、A国のマインドコントロール下にあると考えなければならない。非人間的な行為に手を染め、実行者自身の人間性を破壊せしめて、やっとのことで手に入れた成果・知見をA国にただで献上しているのである。(2008.5.10)

Who are they?

The fiendish brutalities toward human beings, by human beings, caused by scorn to human beings, are still carrying out without relinquishing the project. The threat of this technology is not less serious than the threat of nuclear weapon. People are from day to day exposed to the threat of this technology.
There are some cases where a purpose other than the original one originates, while carrying out some project into execution. The executors may be attracted to that more than original purpose. (June 3, 2007)
The original purpose of this project was probably national security. Then what is the secondary purpose? In “Mind Games” that appeared in Washington Post Magazine, the reporter wrote as follows:

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." (End quote.)

“Behavior modification” must be psychological behavior modification using the technology of mind control. The psychology is not traditional that. It is imitation psychology. (June 5, 2007)
I think in order to modify someone else’s behavior, the following method would be adopted. That is they try to replace part of human’s mind with other part of human’s mind as if they replaced parts of machine. For instance, they try to replace terrorist’s aggressive emotion with more peaceful emotion. It is not only terrorist who are targeted. All sorts of people can be targeted. Without willpower people may be replaced part of their will with other will. A person who is always sad may be replaced his or her feeling with other feeling. The executors of mind control must be attracted to this imitation psychology. Igor Smirnov, Russian psychologist or psychiatrist, also described a story like that. Perhaps Igor Smirnov is one of founders of mind control in Russia. I think the specific method is transmission of patterns of electrical brain waves to people’s brain. They are collecting the patterns of electrical brain waves of many people. And they compile them in a database, classifying into groups. And then they transmit one of them (including other people’s patterns) to a targeted individual. They probably think that this technology will contribute to welfare of human beings and to extension of personality or human spirit. Viewed from this angle, they attempt to appease their repressed guilty consciences. Certainly, there are instances where personalities of some people seem to have been changed greatly, but the changes are results of their own extra special efforts and of interactions of the individuals and their environments. In this case, there is the continuity of personality. The individual has achieved improvement of his or her personality. But in the case of change of personality using of this technology, the continuity of personality is interrupted. Consequently such individuals have become different beings. Who are they? What sort of animate beings are they? It is impossible to improve personality without interaction between human being and his or her environment.　That will eat human spirit.
What do the executors plan? Igor Smirnov seems to cooperate with Americans. When looked at this angle, it seems that the purpose of national security looks small.
For example, let us assume that a man (hereinafter called “A”) is not in love with a woman (“B”). The other man (“C”) is deeply in love with B. The executors could transmit C’s pattern of electrical brain to A’s brain. In this case, A would fall in love with B. The executors would have the authority to decide people’s spouses, occupations and everything else. (June 7, 2007)

This is a countermeasure against electromagnetic attack of this kind. When something is transmitted to you, I suggest you change or transform it for your own convenience. In other words, you can replace something transmitted with the other thing. If a word or something is transmitted to you, you change or transform it into the other word. If “3” is transmitted to you, you can change or transform it into “8” and so on. If the word “devil” is transmitted to you, you can change or transform it into “deliver”, “divine”, “vile deed”, “venders list” or the like. The words devoid of sense will do, too. If some feeling, emotion, perception or thinking is transmitted to you, you change or transform it into the other one. I think there is no need to change or transform perfectly. Even partial or imperfect change or transformation must be effective. You can protect yourself. (June 7, 2007)
The specific method of countermeasure is as follows: It is to cover something transmitted with the other one, as if you covered it with a colored translucence paper or you added one color to another. If an image is transmitted to you, you can superimpose the other image on the transmitted image. (June 8, 2007)

The execution of mind control is divided into two stages. The first stage is to read mind or thinking of targeted individual and to collect the patterns of electrical brain waves of targeted individual. The second stage is to transmit the patterns of electrical brain waves to targeted individual and to seek to replace part of targeted individual’s mind with other part of human’s mind. If the executors carry the mind control out wholly in the first stage, it is difficult that the targeted individuals find themselves the targets of mind control. In the second stage, if electromagnetic manipulation is performed temporarily or for a brief period, it is also difficult that the targeted individuals find themselves the targets of mind control.
There is a phenomenon called “gang stalking”. The following is a quotation from “Mind Games”.

In their esoteric lexicon, "gang stalking" refers to the belief that they are being followed and harassed: by neighbors, strangers or colleagues who are agents for the government. (End quote.)

Many people who file complaints about electronic harassments complain of gang stalking activities. It seems unlikely that people try to annoy an individual intentionally, systematically, coordinatedly, in an organized way and for a long time. That is a worthless action. But there is such a phenomenon. What do you think of this? I see that this way. Although they may not be seeing things, interpretation of the things that are happening is illusion. People who seem the perpetrators are not the perpetrators. They are also the victims. I think they are under electromagnetic attack temporarily or for a brief period. So they have little awareness of their harms. I should say our society or the world is deeply and widely permeated with a threat of this technology. (June 12, 2007)
The following is quoting from “Philosophy, et cetera”.

I went to a fascinating talk yesterday from Neil Levy, on the ethical implications of the extended mind thesis.

A large part of the talk was concerned with motivating the thesis itself, drawing on fascinating research in cognitive psychology (e.g. change-blindness) suggesting that our internal representations are far less complete than we typically realize. (It vaguely reminds me of the Dennettian ideas discussed here.) Instead of wasting mental effort creating detailed internal representations, we typically just let the world represent itself. If we need more detail, we can focus attention on the appropriate part of the world, accessing the external information much as we might access our internal memories or information stores. Levy also mentioned typical examples like using pen and paper to do arithmetic calculations, etc. This all adds up to an understanding of the brain as no mere thinking organ, but rather a tool or interface which enables us to think with the external world. (Levy didn't put it quite like that. But I rather like the idea.)

I suppose one might embrace the same insight in more conservative terms by speaking of "cognitive scaffolding", or the idea that our environment can amplify or augment our cognitive capacities. One might insist that, strictly speaking, all the real thinking goes on in the head, with the external parts merely "assisting" or "enabling" this process. But this may be a mere terminological quibble. In any case, I think the insight is more vividly captured by the idea that we actually offload cognitive work on to the external world, so that not all cognition occurs in the head.

Neil went on to point out how silly it is for people to get so much more upset about "internal" manipulations than "external" ones. He cited the example of moral panic over students using Ritalin to get a slight boost in grades, when the indirect effects from disparities in nutrition, socio-economic status, cultural capital, etc., are so much greater. Or people get worried about brain scans "reading their mind", when all the scans do is identify neural correlates of already observable behaviour (that would come out in, say, cognitive psychological tests). Or they worry about neuroscientists coming up with mind-control devices, and ignore the far more advanced research into manipulation conducted by marketers and social psychologists. (End quote.)

The opinion of the author of this writing may be different from that of Neil Levy. In this case, let us pay attention to the opinion of Neil Levy. We are surrounded by a large number of advertisements. Some of them may include subliminal advertising. They cannot be good for people’s spirits. They must have harmful effect upon the minds of people. Are they mind controls? Yes, they are. They are “external” manipulations of people’s minds. In spite of an evil influence, “external” manipulation is less unsatisfactory than “internal” one.
There are cherry blossoms up on the screen (hereinfter called “Picture A”). They are strikingly beautiful. But cherry blossoms in front of me (“Picture B”) are far more beautiful than those on the screen. “Picture B” is for me far more important and precious than “Picture A”. That is a result of a difference in degree of the connection between human being and the environment. In the case of “Picture B”, there is a meaningful and working connection between human being and the environment. But in the case of “Picture A”, there is a mere tenuous or chilly connection between them. “Picture A” cannot compare with “Picture B”.
Furthermore, there is an another variation of picture of cherry blossoms (“Picture C”). “Picture C” is generated by “internal” manipulation of mind. In the case of “Picture B”, and “internal” manipulation of the person’s mind is performed at that moment, the “Picture B” must be changed into “Picture C” (See “Deprivation of the environment”.). “Picture C” might be also beautiful, but it is a forgery. It is not even a figment of the person’s imagination. Although it seems to be in the mind, it is a foreign body and a stranger in the mind. “Picture C” is generated without the connection between human being and the environment. Consequently it is worthless or bad for the spirit. It cannot bear comparison with even “Picture A”. “Internal” manipulation is more terrible and inhuman than “external” manipulation. (June 23, 2007)
“Picture C” is a picture lacking in substance. If “Picture B” is converted into “Picture C” by “internal” manipulation that replaces “Picture B” with “Picture C”, the “Picture B” is transformed from precious experience into worthless or harmful one. On this occasion, the flowers suddenly fade and lose their looks. The person who looks at the flowers travels for a moment from the world in which the flowers are out and the birds are warbling to the world (such as the south pole region) in which he or she can see nothing but ice. That place is the empire of death. There is enough connection between a person and his or her environment in the case of the “Picture B”. But in the case of the “Picture C”, a person gets divorced from his or her environment.
“Philosophy, et cetera” that I found on the occasion of the last upload is an interesting site. I want to read it more. But it takes time for me to read English, and the site deals with philosophy as well.
To give consideration to the problem of mind control may call for philosophical attainment. I am somewhat dispirited. I have failed a credit for a philosophical course in my school days. That almost compromised my promotion. That’s why I have an awareness that I will be hard to deal with philosophy. If someone tries to remove my sense of inferiority about knowledge of philosophy through “internal” manipulation, this will be outrageous attempt. That will be a frightful calamity for me. I may lose my equilibrium and walk on air. I may say, “I am a reincarnation of Socrates.” or “Immanuel Kant is my disciple.” And then I may challenge all persons indiscriminately to a debate on philosophy, as a result of which I may invite frowns of disgust from people. If I want to dissolve an inferiority complex about my knowledge of philosophy, I should study and practice hard. If my inferiority complex does not dissolve for all my effort, I should endure philosophically. I have no alternative but get along somehow having my inferiority complex. (July 2, 2007)
If there is a man (“X”) who does not resign himself to the inevitable, X may choose the easy way (or inhuman way) to dissolve his inferiority complex. X threatens to fail a credit for some course and compromise his promotion. So he has made up his mind to manipulate internally mind of his faculty adviser. He achieves excellent results and moves up to the next grade. Doesn’t he have an inferiority complex about his knowledge of that course? No, he does not have it on the surface. But he has an overwhelming inferiority complex below the surface. The hidden complex continues to affect him insidiously. When it comes to the surface, it assumes the shape of an overwhelming superiority complex (Alfred Adler’s theory). He thinks that he is one of a small number of spiritual elites and has authority to control many others psychologically and physically. He is walking on air. He considers himself a savior of human beings. There is a tendency for people who work evil in secret to walk in air. He does not keep his feet on the ground. He is not an inhabitant of the real world of people but that of a different world.
X finds employment with some organization after graduation. His job is to control people’s mind. There is an essential lack of humane or interpersonal communication between X and other people. He operates the device at work, and does not treat someone on the other end of the device as a human being. The words that he transmits to a victim are not human language. He is deluded that all the other party he is speaking to in daily life is not a human being but a machine or something of the sort. When he comes home from work, can he transform into a human being? That is impossible. A person who is inhumane on a certain occasion cannot be humane or affectionate on a different occasion. He may be able to act the loving father and husband. Because he can act realistically, people have no doubt that he is a gentleman. But he does not regain his humanity. Once a use, forever a custom.
When children get started on a dangerous play, an adult who is at their side may scold them vehemently. The children are sharing the same feeling with the adult at that time. The feeling is a dread of a tragic accident that only the adult can foresee. Thus the adult’s mind (including wisdom and foresight) or heart is transmitted to the children without realizing it. I think that is the basics of education. But X has nothing to transmit to his children and grandchildren but his inhumanity. If he is a professor, his inhumanity transmits unintentionally to his students in the same way as to his child. If he is a doctor, it transmits unintentionally to his patients. Thus he disseminates his inhumanity to the entire society. Although terrorist is dangerous, a person such as X is more dangerous than a terrorist. X harbors unconsciously aggressive emotion against the entire human race. Furthermore, he considers himself a spiritual elite; therefore, he is even wickeder. (July 9, 2007)
Even though I am telling the story in the wrong order, let us examine the relation between the technology of mind control and national security.
It was important for a nation to become more advanced than its potential adversary in military technology during cold war era. But the principle of the technology of mind control is very simple. The developed countries in industrial technology to some degree must have it relatively easy. Therefore, unlike in the case of cold war era, it is now pointless to develop this technology.
John Alexander who appeared in “Mind Games” said, “The dilemma of the war on terrorism, he notes, is that it never ends.” I think that means as follows. Let us suppose that the appearance rate of terrorist is ten in million in a specific population. They catch the ten terrorists and marginalize the terrorists socially and psychologically by means of the “behavior modification”. But after some time, ten new terrorists appear from the rest of the million people. It is little wonder that the population of the rest has increased by ten after some time. They catch the terrorists again and marginalize them in the same way as before. And then after some time, the same thing happens again. It becomes a vicious circle. No matter how many times they remove the terrorists, new terrorists appear from the rest of the population at a constant rate. Therefore, the war on terrorism never ends as John Alexander said. All the efforts to manipulate the terrorists by means of “behavior modification” will prove fruitless. They simply treat the terrorists and other people with cruelty. As a result, that dehumanizes the executors of mind control and the executors disseminate their inhumanities to the society or nation. There is only one means for eliminating terrorism. What it comes down to is that wise and competent statesmen should resolve the problem through politics. The executors of mind control who have lost their humanities have no part to play. (July 15, 2007)
Let us suppose that there is a man (hereinafter called “Z”) who runs for the presidency. When Z produces negative campaign ads, he uses subliminal messages. He ought to have lost the election, but he wins by a small majority through fraud. He has a sense of being the charlatan　and “imitation president”. Sitting in his chair when he is in an office of president, he is thinking, “It is unfair for me to sit in this chair, because I am a dubious character”. That sense causes his disgust for the chair, the duties of a president and himself. His disgust is undermining his capacity for work and affecting his daily life in all respects. He cannot field questions from reporters during the press conference. He sometimes stammers when he makes a speech. A rumor is going around that he has fallen off the wagon. His being inaugurated as president by fraud has beckoned his emotional unhappiness. His disgust is probably not unconscious. If Z is a person who has a delicate sensibility, he must find himself having the disgust. But the function of his disgust is undoubtedly unconscious. It makes Z and the people unhappy without their realizing that. Z is on the verge of spiritual bankruptcy.
Such a thing must happen not only to an individual but also to a group or a certain technology including the people who use it and the people to whom it applies (hereinafter called “the technology as a whole”). If “the technology as a whole” has been developed through dishonest or inhumane means, the people involved must feel disgust at the use of it. The disgust has a relation to a sense that “the technology as a whole” is dubious, no matter how good it seems to be. The use of “the technology as a whole” becomes intolerable. The people’s disgust may be unconscious (or unconscious collectively). Some of the people must realize their own disgust, and yet the function of their disgust is unconscious. That makes people unhappy without their realizing that, and sometimes it causes misfortunes to people.
A man (“D”) is drowning at the beach. D robs a person (“E”) who is swimming close to him of E’s life buoy. Then D hits E and sinks E. D is swimming with the life buoy now. Is he happy? If he is happy, he is a nonhuman being. He is bound to feel disgust at the life buoy dripping with invisible blood. His disgust is probably not unconscious. But the function of his disgust is undoubtedly unconscious. If he rescues a drowning person by use of the life buoy, the unconscious function of the disgust for the life buoy blocks them from savoring feeling of satisfaction. The use of the life buoy becomes intolerable. They despise themselves for their using the life buoy. And the function will cause errors, wrongs or unforeseen occurrences or tragedies. That will have people fall to the depths of misfortune. (August 1, 2007)

It is dangerous and terrible to attempt to enhance the human faculties or to change people’s personalities by electrical stimulation of brain. It is similar to inducing euphoria by drugs or stimulants. Because the mental change does not occur naturally and spontaneously. The person (victim) will one day decay spiritually. The drug or stimulant use is prohibited by law, since it will cause mental decay sooner or later. The same is true of the use of electrical stimulation. Besides, the victim is physically damaged by being enveloped in electromagnetic fields for a long time. Such an act is inflicting injury upon the person bodily and killing him or her mentally.
In Japan, vegetables that are equal in size and shape are going on the supermarket shelves. Cucumbers are straight and regular. Cucumber, by nature, is bent and of various shape. Sometimes worms get into that. A bent cucumber has more vitality than a straight one. Though the latter cucumber looks good and is convenient to handle, it is not healthy as a cucumber. It is similar to enhanced human being using technology. Do the mind controllers intend to damage the health of human being and sap human being of his or her vitality?
Trying to enhance the human faculties or to change people’s personalities by electrical stimulation of brain is to kill human beings and change them into some other living things. Even if they put people in euphoria, the psychological condition of people is nothing but borrowed plumes. It is suicidal for human beings to try to enhance the human faculties or to change people’s personalities by electrical stimulation of brain. Are the perpetrators of mind control the vanguard of designer of annihilation of human beings? They are cancers in the world of mortals. It is disgraceful that they work evil on the sly. (September 12, 2008)
The word “straight cucumber” means a cucumber which was straighten compulsorily using agricultural techniques and cultivated by use of lots of chemical fertilizers and agricultural chemicals. (September 13, 2008)
It saddens me to look at straight cucumbers. Are they cucumbers? Is that the evolution of cucumber? No, it is not. The straight cucumbers are the shells of cucumbers (the word “shell of cucumber” means a cucumber which has lost its vitality and health). Who (or What) are they? What sort of plants are they? Probably simpleminded men prefer a straight one to a bent one. (September 20, 2008)
If a sparrow changes his wings for an eagle’s wings using technology, can he fly faster, higher and farther? No, he cannot. He will give way under the weight of his own wings.
The same goes for human mind, too. Human mind is something like an organism. (September 23, 2008)

I do not know whether the executors of mind control convince themselves of contributing their shares to human welfare or they are aware that they are carrying out it with malicious intent. In case of the former, do they (neuroscientists, psychologists, engineers and so on) intend to be proud of the results of their research as their remarkable achievements?
If they convince themselves of doing what is right, they ought to state their opinions boldly. But they are executing a secret plan furtively. That means they are conscious what evil deeds they do. That will bring significant psychological problems.
Let us suppose that some Olympic contender won a gold medal by furtive drug use. Is he or she happy? When he or she looks at the medal, he or she has a bitter feeling. The medal is not a symbol of his or her honor and power but that of his or her dishonor and meanness. Such a bitter feeling spreads throughout his or her daily living. Supposing that he or she thinks he or she is going to enjoy watching a movie. But he or she cannot enjoy that. When he or she tries to enjoy that, someone (or something) puts psychological brake on his or her inclination to do so (the word “psychological brake” means inhibition). If he or she eats something delicious such as caviar or foie gras, its taste does not reach his or her heart. If he or she spends his or her vacation in a southern island, the beauty of the blue sea and sky does not reach his or her soul. His or her bitter feeling toward his or her false gold medal has altered his or her state of consciousness. That brings “hollowing of life” upon him or her. The false gold medal brings “shell of life” upon him or her. At the time when the contender won unfairly a gold medal, his or her spirit has died. The achievement of the executors of mind control is nothing less than the false gold medal. (September 29, 2008)

He was thinking about “that” night and day. He could not think about anything except “that”. He thought that an extraordinary person is allowed to break through all obstacles which stand in his way and to ignore ordinary people. He considered himself to be an elite within an elite. At last, he concluded that “the end justifies the means” and he took decisive action. One day, he killed the old woman pawnbroker and her sister, and stole her money. His name is Raskolnikov. He is a main character of “Crime and Punishment” written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
But unexpected events happened. He walked around like a somnambulist. He could not spend stolen money. When he happened to be a police station and he accidentally overheard snatches of conversation about the murder case, he fell to the floor in a swoon. Although he wanted to say something kind to his dearly loved family, he was suddenly much annoyed with his dearest mother and sister. He wished that they disappeared from his sight. He suffered especially for the latest one. An invisible barrier has built between him and reality, or the reality has receded into the distance. When he brought himself back to reality, someone malicious, who lives in his heart or soul, put psychological brake on his inclination to do so. The end did not justify the means. He considered himself as an elite. What is wrong with an extraordinary person, no less? His spirit was faced with the threat of bankruptcy. (“Crime and Punishment”, however, is not an account of spiritual bankruptcy. It gives a hint as to his conversion from spiritual bankruptcy to rehabilitation.)
It is wrong to assume that the executors of mind control consider themselves to be far superior to other people and to be God. Even if they believe firmly that, someone who lives in their inner universes of spirit launches an insurgency. It is impossible that the person who treats secretly other people inhumanly is human. Can he or she turn quickly into a humane person in his or her private life? It is impossible. The person cannot be tender to his or her dearly loved family. When he or she does that, suddenly his or her beloved family makes him or her feel unpleasant. When he or she tries to be in personal touch with a flesh-and-blood person, someone who lives in his or her heart or soul puts psychological brake on his or her inclination to do so. He or she cannot come in contact with other people in a normal way. They can associate only with machines. The executors of mind control are not human beings. Who are they? What sort of animate beings are they?
To begin with, it is wrong to read secretly other people’s mind. Human being has developed mentally through the use of the human being’s imagination and surmise. In order to develop mentally, it is necessary to imagine what he is thinking or how she feels while taking consideration of the situation and the person’s own experience. If the person does not carry out such a troublesome steps, human mental growth is checked. If the person tries to read secretly other people’s mind using a device, his or her mind or spirit degenerates.
The minds of the executors of mind control are not functioning. It is impossible that a doer of secret evil deeds is normal mentally. Their mental illnesses are more serious than any other psychoses. Furthermore, they are specialists in the science of mind and so on. It is contradictory that spiritual bankrupts control other people’s mind. That is terrible and catastrophic. It is like putting a sword into the hands of a child. That is a fatal disease for the entire human race. The executors of mind control are probably elites of society. As a result, a nation has monster elites. A nation and society will be in ruin. (October 18, 2008)

That is the end of “Who are they?”

Japanese version
果たして何者なのか

　長い間行われてきた人間自身による人類に対する、人間に対する侮蔑に根ざした、恐ろしい行為が破綻することもなく続いている。これは確かに核兵器の開発にも匹敵する。しかし、ある意味では、その恐ろしさは核兵器に勝るとも劣らない。核兵器は、戦争において実際に使ってみないとその恐ろしさを実現化させはしない。事故や環境への影響を度外視すればの話であるけれども。それに対して、この技術は、人間に対して日常そのものを脅威に変える。人は四六時中その脅威にさらされる。
　あるプロジェクトを遂行しているうちに、本来の目的とは質的に異なる別の目的が派生してくることがあるものだ。遂行者が、そのプロジェクト本来の目的よりも、後から浮かび上がってきた目的のほうにより魅力を感じて、むしろそちらのほうに夢中になってしまうこともあるかもしれない。(2007.6.3)
最初は国家安全保障のために始められたのだろう。しかし、そのうちに生じてきた新たな目的とは何なのだろうか。ワシントンポストマガジンに掲載された “マインド･ゲーム”において次のように述べられている。　

アレクサンダーもまた電子的方法を用いて行動を修正することができるかどうか、関心をもって見ている。「テロとの戦いのディレンマは、終わりがないということだ」と彼は言う。そして、｢グアンタナモにいるようなやつらをどうする？永久にあそこに放り込んでおくのかね。ばかばかしい。行動修正こそいちばんではないのかね｣と続けた。｢おそらく、君をも変えられると思うなあ。そうして君の牙を引き抜くのだ。そうした上で、君を社会に戻す。そうすれば君は、私を殺そうとすることは二度としなくなるだろう。｣技術がそれを可能にするのは目前に来ている。アレクサンダーは続けた。「われわれは、もう取りかかっている。」彼は、ちょっと間をおいてサンドイッチをほおばった。「厄介なのは、どこで倫理的な問題と折り合いをつけるかだ。」(日本語訳skan。ジョン･アレクサンダーは国防総省関係者。顧問のような職ではないかと思う。)

文中の｢行動修正｣とは、この技術を用いた心理学的な行動修正のことだろう。心理学と言っても伝統的な心理学のことではない。いわば、心理学もどきである。 (2007.6.5)
これは、例えばテロリストなら、その攻撃的な感情を他の感情に置き換えることを意味しているのだろう。もっと平和的な感情に。これはなにもテロリストだけに限らないようだ。テロリスト以外の一般人もターゲットにされうる。例えば、Aさんが意欲をなくしているのなら、もっと意欲的な気分に置き換える。Bさんが悲しみに沈みきっているなら、もっと晴れやかな気分に置き換える。まるで機械の部品を交換するように。そう言えば、ロシアのイーゴリ･スミルノフ(心理学者か精神科医。ロシアのマインドコントロールの草分け的存在ではないかと思う)も似たようなことを言っていた。具体的方法は次のようなものと考えられる。できるだけ多くの人の脳波のパターンを収集して、分類した上でデータベースに保存する。そして、その脳波のパターンから選んでターゲットの脳に送り込むのである。これは、他人の脳波のパターンである場合もありうる。彼ら実行者は、この技術が人類の福祉に貢献するとみなしているのかもしれない。人間の精神の拡張(拡大)をもたらすと誤って考えているのかもしれない。このように考えて、今なお咆哮し続けている心の中の深い海に閉じ込めた良心をなだめすかそうとしているのである。確かに人格が一変したかのように見える人はいるものである。よい意味の場合である。しかし、それはその人のたゆまぬ精進と、その環境との相互作用を前提としてもたらされたものである。環境との相互作用なしに(環境を遮断して)人格を成長させることなど不可能である。ところが、このマインドコントロール技術を使った場合においては、環境との相互作用をシャットアウトして人格を変容させようとするのである。これでは、人格の連続性が断ち切られるではないか。そうすると、それ以後の人格の持ち主は、いったい何者になるのか。どんな種類の生き物になるのだろうか。これは人格の、人間の精神の向上ではない。精神の破壊である。
　彼ら実行者は、いったい何をたくらんでいるのだろうか。イーゴリ･スミルノフはアメリカ人とも協力しているようである。こうしてみると、国家安全保障という目的も影が薄くなったように見えてくる。
　たとえば、こんな例を考えてみよう。Aという男性は、Bという女性のことを何とも思っていない。男性Cは、Bに首ったけである。そこで、Aの脳にCの脳波のパターンを送り込む。すると、AはたちまちのうちにBが好きになってしまうかもしれない。つまり、この技術の実行者は、人々の配偶者選択、職業選択などあらゆることの決定権を握ってしまうのである。(2007.6.7)

次に述べるのは、実行者による送信に対する対抗策です。実行者が何かを送信してきたら、それを勝手に変換してしまうのです。つまり、実行者がやっている精神の一部の置き換えと同じようなことを自分で行って対抗するのです。例えば、ある言葉を送信してきたら、それを別の言葉に置き換えてしまう。数字の“３”だったら、例えば“８”に置き換えてしまう。感情･感覚･思考なども別のものに自分で変換してしまう。完全でなくても構いません。一部でも変換すれば、十分に自分を防衛できます。(2007.6.7)
対抗手段の具体的方法は、送信されてきたものに、色のついた半透明な紙をかぶせたり色を重ね合わせたりするように、別のものを重ねることです。映像ならば、別の映像をオーバーラップさせるのです。(2007.6.8)

マインドコントロールには二つの段階(局面)がある。第一段階は、思考(内心)をリーディングすることである。つまり、ターゲットの脳波のパターンを収集する。第二段階は、ターゲットの人格の一部を他のものに置き換えることである。つまり、ターゲットに対して、脳波のパターンを送信する。もしも第一段階の操作だけが行われていたのなら、ターゲットは自分がターゲットになっていることに気がつかないだろう。第二段階においても、その操作が一時的で短期間のものだったら、ターゲットはやはり気がつかないかもしれない。
　｢ギャング・ストーキング｣(日本語では、｢集団ストーカー行為｣が相当すると思う)という現象がある。以下は、再び“マインド･ゲーム”からの引用である。

彼ら(被害者たち)は、政府と関係する隣人・見知らぬ人物･同僚などにつきまとわれ、いやがらせを受けていると信じているが、このことを｢ギャング・ストーキング｣と呼んでいる。(日本語訳skan)

電子的なハラスメントを受けていると主張する人で、このギャング・ストーキング(集団ストーカー)の被害も同時に受けていると訴える人があまりにも多い。けれども、たった一人のために組織的･計画的に長期間に渡って沢山の人が、ただいやがらせのために付きまとうことは、ちょっと考えにくい。馬鹿馬鹿しくてやっておれないではないか。それにもかかわらずこのような現象が存在する。これをいったいどう考えればよいのだろうか。これについての説明は、たった一つしかないと思う。すなわち、見ている事実そのものは幻ではないにせよ、その解釈は幻である、ということである。加害者のように見えている人々は加害者なのではない。彼らも被害者である。電磁的な操作が短期間だけ、一時的に行われておれば、ターゲットは自分がターゲットになっていることを自覚できないだろう。加害者のように見える人々は、そのようないわば低レベルのマインドコントロールのターゲットなのではないだろうか。こうしてみると、この技術の脅威は、社会に、いや全世界に広く深く浸透しているように思えてしかたがない。(2007.6.12)
以下は、“Philosophy, et cetera”
からの引用である。

昨日、ニール･リービ(Neil Levy)とマインドに関する広範な問題の倫理的側面について語り合った。
話の重点は、論点を活性化させることにあった。人間の内的な想像力は、人間が一般的に認識（理解）しているよりもずっと不完全である、ということを前提にして認知心理学(例えば、change-blindness<訳注：この語は不明。無分別を矯正することというような意味か？>)の興味深い研究を引き合いに出していた。(これは、ぼんやりとここで議論したDennettianの考えを髣髴とさせる。)　微に入り細を穿った内的な表象を作り上げることをしないで、人間は世界が現前させるありのままの姿を受け入れる。さらに詳細を知る必要があれば、記憶に蓄積された情報にアクセスするようにして外的な情報にアクセスしながら、現前する世界の中で最もそれにふさわしい部分に注意を集中する。リービ(Levy)もまたペンと紙を使った算術計算のような典型例を挙げている。これはつまり脳は単に思考するための器官であるだけではなく、外的世界を考えるための手段であり架け橋の役を務めるものなのである。(リービは、はっきりとこう言ったわけではないけれども、私はこう考えている。)　
人は、“認知に関する手がかり”をもっと穏健な用語によって云々することにより同様の洞察を受け入れるのではないだろうか。また、われわれの環境は人間の認知的能力を拡大･増強することができるという考えを受け入れるのではないだろうか。厳密には、すべて思考というものは頭脳の中で行われるのであって、外的な要素はその過程を手助けしたり手段を付与したりするにすぎない、と人は主張するだろう。しかし、これは用語上のごまかしにすぎない。ともかく、実際に人間は、認知的な作業を外的世界に委ねているという認識によって、洞察というものがより生き生きと（明確に）捉えられるのだと思う。だから、すべての認知作用が生じるわけではないのである。
ニールは、人々が“外的な”操作よりも“内的な”操作に、より動転し惑乱することが愚かで馬鹿げていると主張し続けている。ニールは、成績評価を上げるためにリタリン（訳注：中枢神経興奮剤）を使用した学生の精神的なパニックの例を引き合いに出している。この場合、栄養摂取、社会・経済的地位、文化的背景などの違いによる間接的影響があまりにも大きかった。また、人々は“心を読み取る” 脳スキャンのことを心配している。その際、すべてのスキャンは観察可能な（既に観られる）行動に対応する神経系を特定するのである(これは、もしかしたら認知心理検査として出回るかもしれない)。また、人々は神経科学者がマインドコントロールのデバイスを考案するかもしれないと気をもんでいる。そして、マーケティング担当者や社会心理学者が行っているようなもっと進歩した操作については一顧だにしないのである。(日本語訳skan)

この文章の筆者は、ニール･リービ(Neil Levy)という人物とは意見を異にしていると思われるが、ここでは、ニール･リービの考え方に着目してみたい。われわれの周りには商業広告が氾濫している。その中にはサブリミナル効果を狙ったものもあるかもしれない。広告はマインドコントロールだろうか。無論、そうである。人の心を“外部から”操作するマインドコントロールである。それが、人間精神にとってよいわけがない。人の精神に重大な害を及ぼしていることだろう。しかし、それにもかかわらず、そのような“外部的”操作は“内部から”の操作に比べればはるかにましである。
　桜の花がスクリーン上に映し出されているとする（“画像A”）。それは、この上なく美しい。しかし、今、目の前で桜の花の実物を見るほうが、それよりも比較できないくらいに美しい（“画像B”）。これは環境との関わりの濃淡の差によって生じたものと思われる。つまり、“画像B”の場合は“画像A”に比べて環境との接触の密度がはるかに濃密なのである。いや、むしろ“画像B”の場合、環境との接触は全き姿をとっているといえよう。環境との十分な接触が維持されているのである。したがって、“画像B”の経験は私にとってかけがえのない一回きりの大切な経験になる。それに対して、“画像A”の場合では、桜は確かに美しいのだけれども、その美しさ、その経験自体の意味は“画像B”の足元にも及ばない。
　そしてさらにもう一種の画像がある（“画像C”）。これは、人の心を“内的に”操作することによって生じせしめられたものである。“画像B”の場合であっても、実際に桜を見ている時に、同時に“内的”操作が加えられていれば、“画像C”に転化してしまう。それは、環境との接触が遮断されることによって生じたものである。“画像B”から“画像C”に転化した場合、その時、その人の環境はたちまちのうちにはるかかなたの手の届かない所へと遠のいてしまう（｢環境の剥奪｣参照）。“画像C”は虚構ですらなく、イマジネーションの産物でもない。人の心の中にあるかのように見えて、実はその人の心とは異質のものである。それは心の中の他人であり、異物である。環境との接点を完全に失っているからである。環境から完全に切り離されているからである。まだ、“外的な”操作による心の何らかの変化の場合は、不完全な面や疑問を感じる点があるとはいえ、まがりなりにも環境との関わり合いはかろうじて維持されていると言えなくもない。したがって、“内的な”操作は“外的な”操作に比べてもはるかに恐ろしく非人間的である。(2007.6.23)
“画像B”が“画像C”に転化した場合、つまり“内的な”操作により、人の心の中の“画像B”が“画像C”に置き換えられた場合、“画像B”は私にとって最も大切なものから、ただのガラクタへと一気に変じてしまう。もっと正確に言えば、心の中の有害物質に変化してしまう。今、見ている花は、たちまちのうちに色褪せ、その美を失う。これは、花が咲き鳥の歌う世界が一瞬のうちに南極のような氷だけの世界へと変貌したようなものである。そこは死の世界である。“画像B”では人と環境との接触は十分に保たれているが、“画像C”においては、人は環境から切り離される。
　前回のアップ時に見つけた“Philosophy, et cetera”というサイトは、興味のあるサイトである。もっと読んでみたいが、英文を読むには時間がかかるし、何しろ哲学に関するサイトであるようだ。
　マインドコントロールの問題を考えるにあたっては、哲学的考察も必要になってくるのだろうか。気の重い話である。僕は学生時代に哲学の単位を落として、進級が危うくなりかけたことがあった。それ以来、哲学に対する苦手意識が染み着いてしまった。かと言って、万が一哲学に対する劣等感を“内的な”操作によって解消せしめられたとしたら、それはとんでもないことである。これは僕にとっては大災難だ。僕は精神全体のバランスを崩してしまうことになってしまうだろう。すっかり舞い上がって、｢俺はソクラテスの生まれ変わりだ｣とか｢カントというやつは俺の弟子だ｣と口走り、誰彼構わず哲学談義を吹っかけては、周囲の人から顰蹙を買うのではなかろうか。本当に哲学への劣等感を解消したいのなら、一生懸命勉強し練習を積むことによってなされるべきものなのである。それでも駄目ならあきらめる(哲学的に諦観する)しかない。哲学への劣等感を抱えながら何とかやっていく以外にない。(2007.7.2)
もしもあきらめきれずに、自己の劣等感の解消にあくまでもこだわり、安易な(場合によっては、非人道的な)手段によって解消しようとする者がいたらどうなるだろうか。Xは、ある科目の単位を落としそうになって、進級が危うくなっている。そこで、指導教授を内的にマインド操作して危機を脱することにした。Xは優秀な成績をおさめて、無事進級する。この場合、Xのその科目に関する劣等感はなくなったのだろうか。確かに解消されたのである。少なくとも表面上は。けれども、Xの心の底にはすさまじいばかりの劣等感が渦巻いている。この劣等感は、見えないところで常に影響を及ぼしている。そして、表面(意識)に上ってくる時には、とてつもない優越感情となって現われる(アルフレッド･アドラーの説)。Xは、自分は少数の精神的なエリートのひとりだとして舞い上がる。そして、その他大勢の人を精神的･物質的に支配できると思い込む。自分を人類の救済者だとみなす。えてして、こそこそと悪事を働いている者はこのように舞い上がるものである。足を地面に着けていない。人間の世界ではなく別の世界に住んでいる。
　卒業してXは、ある組織に職を得た。Xの仕事は人々をマインドコントロールすることである。Xには、人とコミュニケーションをもつにあたって、本質的な点において欠けているものがある。仕事で機械を操作しているが、その背後にいる人を人間とは思っていないのである。被害者に送信する言葉は、人間の言葉ではない。機械のみと話しているのであって、人間は消えていなくなる。生活のあらゆる場面で、Xの話す相手のすべては人間ではなくなり、機械のようなものになってしまう。Xが仕事を終えて帰宅したら、すぐに人間に変身できるのだろうか。それは不可能である。ある場面で非人間的な者が、別の場面では人間的になることはありえない。情愛の深さを演じることはできるだろう。その演技が真に迫っているために、周りの人はXを立派な人物と勘違いするかもしれないけれども、Xに人間性が戻ってくることはない。習い性となるのである。
　子どもが危険な遊びを始めたら、傍にいる大人がこっぴどく叱りつけるかもしれない｡その時、子どもはある感情を大人と共有していると言えよう｡それは、悲惨さを予見することから来るその大人のある種の恐怖の感情である｡このようにして大人の心(予見する力･洞察力とともに)が、子どもに受け継がれていく｡これは、教育の基本だと思う｡ところが、Xには彼の子どもや孫に伝えるべき何物もない｡いや、非人間性しか伝えるべき物がない｡Xが大学教授なら、彼の学生も彼の子どもと同様、彼の非人間性の感染を受けやすい｡医者なら、彼の患者が受けやすい｡こうして、Xは社会全体に彼の非人間性を、それと意識することなくばら撒いているのである｡テロリストは確かに危険で恐ろしい｡しかし、Xはそれ以上に危険である｡Xは、全人類に対してすさまじいばかりの無意識的攻撃感情をいだいている。しかも、自分を精神的エリートとみなしているのだから、余計にたちが悪い｡(2007.7.9)
　話が前後するかもしれないが、マインドコントロール技術と国家安全保障との関係について考えてみたい｡
　この技術の原理自体はいたって単純である｡ある程度産業技術の発達した国なら、どこでも保有できるだろう｡従って、冷戦時代のように仮想敵国よりも優れた軍事技術を保有する、という意味においてなら、国家安全保障の目的のためにこの技術を開発することは無意味である
　それならば、テロ対策のためにこの技術を開発することはどうだろうか｡先に引用した“マインド･ゲーム”に登場していたジョン･アレクサンダーは、｢テロリズムとの戦いには終わりがない｣と述べている｡｢終わりがない｣というのは、こういうことではないだろうか。例えば、ある100万人の集団の中から、確率的に10人のテロリストが出現してくると仮定する｡その10人を捕らえて“行動修正”を行い、無力化して精神的に抹殺する。すると、その後しばらくすると残りの100万人(しばらく経つうちに人口が10人ぐらい増加したところでちっともおかしくない)の中から、また10人のテロリストが現われてくる｡これも前と同様に、精神的に抹殺する｡そうして、それからしばらくすると、またまた残りの100万人の中から10人のテロリストが出現してくるのである｡つまり、完全にいたちごっこなのである｡いくらテロリストを排除しても常にほぼ同じ確率で新たにテロリストが出現してくるのではないだろうか｡だから、テロとの戦いに終わりがないのではないだろうか｡ということは、テロ対策のためにマインドコントロール技術を開発したところで徒労にすぎない、ということになる。｢骨折り損のくたびれもうけ｣、どころか｢骨折り損の苦しみもうけ｣になってしまう。ただ、いたずらにテロリストとその他の人々を苦しめ虐待し、その挙句にはマインドコントロール実行者たちを非人間化し(人間性を喪失せしめ)、その非人間性を社会に拡散させる、という結果しか生まないのではないか｡やはり、テロリズムを根絶する道はひとつしかない｡有能で叡智のある政治家が政治的な解決を図る以外に方法はない｡人間性を失ったマインドコントローラーが出る幕ではない。(2007.7.15)
　Zという男が大統領選に立候補したとする｡Zは、対立候補のネガティブキャンペーンを行う際に、サブリミナルメッセージを紛れ込ませた選挙広告を作成した｡それによって、本来ならば破れていたはずの選挙に僅差で勝利し、大統領に就任した｡Zは、果たして幸福だろうか｡常に偽者意識に苦しめられているのではないだろうか｡執務室で大統領の椅子に座りながら、｢自分はこの椅子に座るべき人物ではない。俺は偽物の大統領だ｣と、知らず知らずのうちに考えている｡そしてこの偽者意識は、大統領の椅子や職務や自分自身に対する嫌悪感の原因となる｡これは、もしかしたら無意識ではないかもしれない｡Zが、少しばかり感受性のある人物ならば、そのような偽者意識や嫌悪感に気がつくはずである｡それにもかかわらず、この偽者意識や嫌悪感の機能（働き）は、紛れもなく無意識である｡それは、Zの生活の精神面を苦境に陥れる｡Zは、記者会見において、原稿を見ないで答弁するとき、あまりにもお粗末な答弁しかできなくなる｡演説のときには、Zは多少どもるようになる｡また、一時おさまっていた飲酒癖が復活したのではないかという噂が流されたりもする｡Zは、不正な手段を使って大統領になることによって、自らの不幸を招き寄せたのである｡Zは、精神の崩壊の危機に瀕している。
　以上のことは、個人だけではなく、集団やある科学技術（科学技術に携わる人や、この技術が適用される人をも含む。以下“総体としての技術”という）についても当てはまるだろう｡“総体としての技術”が不正で反人道的な手段によって開発されたものならば、この技術に関与する人は必然的にこの技術に対する嫌悪感を（多くは無意識的に）感じることになる｡それは、たとえどんなに素晴らしいものに見えたとしても、この“総体としての技術”は偽物ではないか、という意識と関係がある｡感受性の強い人ならば、このような意識に気がつくはずである｡しかし、それでもこの意識･嫌悪感の働きは無意識（場合によっては、集合的に無意識）である｡この無意識の嫌悪感は、知らず知らずのうちに人を不幸にし、思いがけない災厄をもたらす｡
　海で溺れかけている人がいるとしよう（以下“D”という）｡Dは、近くを泳いでいたEに殴りかかって、その浮き輪を奪い水中に沈めて死に至らせた｡浮き輪を使って泳ぎながらDは、幸福になれるだろうか｡その浮き輪、目には見えないが血糊のついた浮き輪、に対してDは抑えきれない嫌悪感を抱くはずである｡この嫌悪感を感じるのでないならば、Dは人間ではないと言えよう｡Dは、自分は人間として偽者であるという意識にさいなまれることになる｡たとえ、この浮き輪でもって、誰か別の人を救助したとしたら、Dとともに、その救助された人もDと同じ嫌悪感を感じることになる｡嫌悪感自体は無意識ではないかもしれないが、やはりその働きはどうしても無意識になる｡嫌悪感は、日々の満足感を遠ざけ、その浮き輪を使うたびに耐えがたい気持ちを呼びおこす｡そして間違いや思いがけない出来事・災厄をもたらす｡(2007.8.1)

　脳への電気的な刺激によって人間の精神能力を向上させようとしたり、パーソナリティを変更しようとすることは、危険で恐ろしいことである。それは、麻薬や覚醒剤によって精神的な高揚感を得ようとすることに似ている。自然に生じることではないからである。被害者の精神は、そのうちに荒廃してしまうだろう。麻薬や覚醒剤が法律で禁じられているのは、その使用がやがて使用者の精神を駄目にしてしまうからである。同じことが電気的な刺激による精神の改変についても言うことができる。その上、被害者は長期間電磁波にさらされることによって、肉体的にもダメージを受ける。身体を傷つけ、精神を殺してしまう行為である。
　日本では、形も大きさも同じ野菜がスーパーなどに並んでいる。例えば、きうりは、まっすぐできれいな形をしている。本来、きうりは曲がっていたり不ぞろいなものである。虫が入っていることもある。まっすぐなきうりは、見栄えもよく取り扱いに便利だが、曲がったきうりに比べて不健康で生命力がない。このことは、テクノロジーを使って人間精神を改変しようとすることと共通点がある。マインドコントローラー達は、人間を不健康にし、生命力を奪おうとしているのか？
　人間の精神能力を向上させることは、人間を殺し別の生き物にしてしまうことである。それによって、たとえ気分が高揚したとしても、それは借り物にすぎず、本物ではない。その個人の真の経験ではない。これは人類を殺すことである。加害者たちは、人類を滅亡させるための尖兵なのか。人類の自殺行為の先駆けなのか。彼らは人類の中の癌細胞である。何をコソコソ隠れてよからぬことをやっているのか。(2008.9.12)
　ストレート・キューカンバー（まっすぐなきうり）とは、農業技術によって無理やりまっすぐにされ、また、化学肥料や農薬を大量投入して栽培されたきうりのことである。(2008.9.13)
ストレート・キューカンバーを見ると悲しくなる。果たしてこれはきうりなのか。進化したきうりなのか。いや、そうではない。きうりの抜け殻なのだろう（“きうりの抜け殻”とは、生気を失い、健康でなくなったきうりのこと）。一体何者（何物）なのか。どんな種類の植物なのか。きっと愚かな人間どもが曲がったものよりもまっすぐなもののほうが好きなのだろう。
(2008.9.20)
　雀がテクノロジーによって翼を鷲の翼と取り換えたら、より速く、より高く、そしてより遠くへと飛べるだろうか。冗談ではない。雀は自分の翼の重みに耐え切れず押しつぶされてしまうだろう。
　これは人間の精神も同様である。精神も有機体のようなものだからである。(2008.9.23)

　マインドコントロールの実行者達が自分達の行っていることが人類の福利に貢献すると確信して行っているのか、それとも、ただ卑劣な悪事をなしているにすぎないと自覚しながら行っているのかは分からない。前者の場合だとすれば、彼ら実行者の中の神経学者、心理学者や技術者等は、こそこそ人に隠れて行ったことによって得た成果を、己れのめざましい業績にしたいのだろうか。
　自分達のやっていることが正しいと信じているのなら、堂々とそれを公にすればよい。それができないのなら、つまりこそこそ秘密に行っているのなら、やはり、悪事を行っているという自覚はあるのかもしれない。このことは実行者に深刻な心理的問題を突きつけてくる。
　あるオリンピック選手が、秘密に薬物を使用して金メダルを獲得したとしよう。その選手は幸福だろうか。それどころか金メダルを見るたびに苦い思いが胸にこみ上げてくるだろう。金メダルは、その選手の名誉と能力の象徴ではなく、不名誉と卑劣さの象徴である。その苦い思いは、日常生活のすべてに拡散していく。例えば、その選手が映画を観るとしよう。映画を楽しもうとした時に、その苦い思いが邪魔をする。その選手は映画を楽しむことができない。何者（何物）かが、楽しもうとした時にブレーキをかけるのである（“心のブレーキ”とは、制止のこと）。何かおいしい物を食べようとしても（キャビアとかフォアグラとか）、そのおいしさはその選手の心（魂）に至らない。南の島にバカンスに行ったとしても、真っ青な海や青空の美しさはその胸に響かない。偽りの金メダルへの苦々しい思いがその選手の意識状態を変化させてしまったのである。それは、“生の空洞化”をもたらす。また、“抜け殻の生”にしてしまう。不正な手段によって金メダルを獲得した時に、その選手の精神は死んでしまった。マインドコントロールの実行者の業績なるものは、この偽りの金メダルである。(2008.9.29)

　彼は、ずっとそのことばかり考えていた。凡人にあらざる者は、自分の前に横たわる障害を除去することができる、凡人のひとりやふたり踏み潰しても構わない、と考えた。自分をそのような優れた人間と看做し、目的は手段を正当化すると考えた。そうして、ある日、彼は金貸しの老婆とその妹を殺害し、金銭を奪った。彼の名はラスコーリニコフ、ドストエフスキーの『罪と罰』の主人公である。
　ところが、事態は思いもかけぬものになってしまう。彼は、まるで熱に浮かされたように歩き回る。折角盗んだ金を使うこともできない。たまたま警察署で例の殺人事件の話を小耳にはさんで、気を失ってぶっ倒れる。そして何よりも苦しめたのは、最愛の母や妹に優しい言葉をかけようとしても、不意に彼らが疎ましくなる。どこかに消えてほしいと願いさえする。凡人にあらざる者ともあろう者が、一体どうしたことだろうか。彼と現実との間には目に見えない壁が出来上がってしまったようである。現実とかかわりをもとうとすると意地悪な誰か（心の中に住んでいる）がブレーキを踏む。目的は手段を正当化しなかったのである。彼の精神は崩壊に瀕している。（ただ、『罪と罰』自体は精神崩壊の物語ではない。それからの転換の予兆を示す物語である。）
　マインドコントロールの実行者が、自分達を優れている者とか、まるで神であるかのように考えるのは間違っている。たとえ彼らがそう信じていたとしても、彼らの心の中に住む誰かが思いもよらぬ反乱をおこすだろう。こそこそと秘密に人々を非人間的に扱う者が、人間であることは不可能である。日常生活に戻れば、突如として人間的に早変わりすることができるだろうか。最愛の者に優しくしようとしても、俄かにその最愛の者達が疎ましくなる。心の中に住む誰かが、その時ブレーキをかけるのである。彼らは生きた人間と正常な関係を持つことができない。機械としか付き合うことができない。彼らは人間ではない。彼らは何者なのか。一体どんな種類の生き物なのか。
　そもそもデバイスによって他人の心を覗き込もうとすること自体が間違っている。｢あいつはどうしてあんなことを言ったのだろう｣とか｢彼女はどう感じているのだろう｣とかというように、周囲の状況や自分の経験を考慮しながら他人の心を推し量り想像することによって、人間は精神を発達させることができる。それが面倒だからといって、その手続を放棄してしまえば、人間精神の発達は阻害され、むしろ退化することになる。
　マインドコントロールの実行者達の精神は機能していない。人に隠れて悪事をなすものの精神が正常であるはずがない。彼らの精神の病はどんな精神病よりも重篤で恐ろしい。しかも、彼らは精神に関する科学などのエキスパートであろう。精神の崩壊したそのような者が人々の精神を操作するとはなんという矛盾であろうか。あまりにも恐ろしく破局的である。まさに気違いに刃物である。人類にとっての悲劇である。その上、彼らはエリートであるに違いない。ということは、国家がモンスターのエリートを抱え込むことになってしまう。国や社会は荒廃し滅亡するだろう。(2008.10.18)

Deprivation of the environment

If you eat an apple, it tastes like an apple. This is quite in the natural order of things. But if you receive an electromagnetic attack at that time, although it certainly tastes like an apple, it does not have a flavor of the apple. In other words, the concrete thing has vanished into nothing. It is possible that electromagnetic manipulation can change your perception. If your perception changes by electromagnetic manipulation, you are distant from the concrete thing (the apple which you are eating now, for example). You are separated from all things that you see, you hear and you touch. And you are also separated from people, including your dearly loved family, your best friends, your colleagues and your neighbors. This event occurs not only in perception but also in feeling and thinking. That deprives you of the environment. You are crouching in the darkness and getting chilled to the bone. Environment is indispensable for a human being. The interaction of a human being and his or her environment is vital to his or her growth and health. When there is no interaction between them, the human being is confronted by spiritual death. Which is more sinful, killing someone else (putting an end to someone else’s life) or killing someone else’ spirit (putting an end to someone else’s spirit)? This question is similar to the following one. Which is crueler, killing a person instantaneously or killing a person gradually while abusing the person?
The executor of mind control treats a person like a character in a computer game. The executor looks as if he or she is not able to distinguish a fact of life from a world of a computer game. If you try to understand the feelings of other people, you should surmise them. The interaction of a human being and his or her environment (especially other people) is not broken, only when you do so. Human mental improvement is achieved by surmising from other people’s looks and attitudes while taking consideration of the situation of the time. When you don’t carry out such a troublesome steps, you cannot improve your mentality. No; you will undergo a degradation of your spirit. You must not peep into the hearts of other people by the use of device. If you did so, you would degrade your own mentality or spirit. In addition, you are separated from other people (the social environment), because you do not treat them as human beings. Your inhuman treatment will eventually come back on you. That will dehumanize you. So that’s it. It is the executor of mind control who deprives himself or herself of his or her environment. The executors of mind control have departed for a remote wasteland, saying farewell to their environments. Their spirit will, sooner or later, go into bankruptcy.

環境の剥奪

　りんごを食べれば当然のことながらりんごの味がする。しかし、もしもその時に電磁的な攻撃を受けていたなら、確かにりんごらしき味はするのだけど、それは、今食べているりんご(個別のりんご)の味ではない。つまり、具体(具体的なもの、具体性)が、どこかに行ってしまったのである。電磁的な操作では、人の知覚をも変えてしまうことが可能になったようだ。知覚を少しでも変化させれば、それは本来の知覚ではない。まったく別のものに変質してしまったのだと言わねばならない。このように知覚が変質するということは、例えば今食べているりんごとその人自身との間に見えない壁が築かれているのと同じことになる。電磁的な攻撃を受けていれば、このようなことは知覚に限らず感情や思考においても起きる。こうして、人はあらゆる物、あらゆる人々から切り離されてしまったのと同じことになる。これはつまり、環境からの遮断―環境の剥奪―である。人はひとり暗黒の世界にうずくまり、寒さに震えている。環境は人が成長し、健全さを保つために絶対不可欠のものである。その環境を奪われてしまったら、その人の精神は死んでしまう。人を殺す(命を奪う)のと、人の精神を殺す(精神を踏みつぶす)のと、どちらが罪深いのだろうか。この問いかけは、次のような問いかけと一脈通じるものがある。人を一発で殺す(即死させる)のと、人を長い時間をかけてゆっくりといたぶりながら殺すのと、一体どちらが残酷なのだろうか。
　マインドコントロールの実行者は、人をまるでコンピュータ･ゲームのキャラクターか何かのように扱う。彼らには現実とコンピュータ･ゲームの区別がついていないらしい。人の心を理解しようとするなら、人の心を“忖度”することで理解しなければならない。人の顔色や態度を、状況をも考慮に入れながら推察することによってしか人は精神的成長を図ることはできない。この面倒な手順を踏まずに済ませようとすれば、精神は停滞する。いや、それどころか退化するかもしれない。環境(この場合、社会的環境、他者)との相互交流とは、例えば隣にいる人の心の中を“推察”することなのである。間違っても他者の心の中を“装置でもって覗いてみよう”などとしてはならぬ。それは、他者を人間として扱っていないということである。それは、自分自身に跳ね返ってきて、“装置でもって覗いてみよう”とした者自身が人間ではなくなる。そうして、自己と環境との関係を自らの手で遮断したことになる。自己の環境に別れを告げて、はるかかなたの不毛の世界へと旅立って行ってしまったのは、マインドコントロール実行者たち自身だったのである。彼らは、環境の剥奪―環境との絶縁―を自分自身で選び取った。遅かれ早かれ、彼らに精神の崩壊が訪れることだろう。

Comment on “Mind Games” that appeared in Washington Post Magazine

“Washington Post Magazine” published ‘Mind Games’ written by Sharon Weinberger. The following is my comment on this article.

John Alexander hinted that National Security is more important than mind control and the sanctity of free thought. But stealthy execution of mind control will dehumanize the executors. If you committed an outrage against humanity, you would lose your own humanity. If you trampled on others, you could never love your beloved, could never trust your best friends and could never accept yourself as a member of mankind. It may be unconscious feeling. Anyway, there is no doubt that personalities of the executors of mind control have changed. It is impossible for them to lead a human style of life, because they are engaged in inhuman atrocities like invasion of someone else's mind or soul. Are they human beings? But the executors of mind control are probably leaders of society and may have a strong influence over the society. Their impersonality slowly spreads, and then corrupt society or country. That’s a terrible society or country. The wrongs will be done without qualm. I don't think I would want to live such a society or country.

ワシントンポストマガジン誌に掲載された“マインドゲーム”に対するコメント


ジョン・アレクサンダー(John Alexander)は、マインドコントロールよりも、また内心の自由を尊重することよりも国家安全保障のほうが重要視されるべきだとほのめかしている。しかし、マインドコントロールの実行者たちがコソコソと人に隠れて悪事をなすことによって、実行者の人間性そのものが壊れてしまうのである。人が他者の人間性を踏みにじれば、その加害者の人間性が無事でいられるわけがない。人が人の心を踏みつけにすれば、踏みつけにした者は、もはや最愛の人を愛することができなくなる。親友を信じることができなくなる。そして、自身を人類の一員として認めることができなくなる。それは、無意識的であるかもしれないが、とにかく、実行者のパーソナリティそのものが変化してしまっているのである。こうして実行者が人間的な生活を送ることさえもできなくなる。他人の人格の中にずかずかと土足で踏み入り、他人の人格を踏みつぶしているからである。それでも彼らは人間なのだろうか。けれども実行者たちは、社会では指導的な地位についているかもしれないし、社会に対して大きな影響力を持っているかもしれない。そんな彼らの非人間性は、じわりと社会全体・国全体に広がっていくだろう。そして、社会・国を内から腐らせていくことだろう。それはおそろしい社会（国）だ。誰もが平気で悪事をなすだろう。そんな社会や国にどうして住みたいと思うだろうか。

The most attractive target for mind control

Who is the most attractive target for the executors of mind control? There is no doubt that their bosses are. Probably, the persons who are above the perpetrators in rank in security agencies don’t deal with practical affairs of mind control. The perpetrators’ bosses do nothing but command. So they don't know the details about practical affairs of mind control. They may become targets easily. If the perpetrators make their bosses targets, the perpetrators never receive a rebuke for a mistake in the execution of mind control. In addition, they could dominate the government agencies such as CIA and DARPA. What attractive targets they are! But that is a terrible event. In what way should their bosses defend themselves against threat of mind control?

最も魅力的なターゲット

マインドコントロールのターゲットとして、コントローラーにとって最も魅力的な者は誰だろうか。それは、マインドコントロールを行っている組織の中で、コントローラーよりも上のほうにいる者であるにちがいない。彼らは、コントローラーに指示や命令はするけれども、マインドコントロールの実務には従事していないので詳しいことは分からないだろう。もしもマインドコントローラーがその上司をターゲットにしてしまえば、どんな重大な失敗をしたとしても厳しく譴責されて責任を問われることはなくなる。まさに魅力的なターゲットというわけだ。しかも、大変な国家機関(諜報機関か軍関係の機関)を、掌中に納めてしまうことができるのだ。彼らには人間としての信義も誠実も何もない。コントローラーの上司が不安になってマインドコントロールされていないかどうか検査してくれと言ったとしても、検査を装ってそれらしい機器を操作してみせて、何も問題はないと嘘の報告をすることだろう。マインドコントローラーの上司たちは、どうやって自己防衛するのだろうか。

Repressed conscience

The executors of mind control are disloyal and insincere. Their own sinful deeds bring them to spiritual crises. The execution of mind control inflicts spiritual wounds upon the perpetrators as well as the victims. The perpetrators’ spiritual crises are closely bound up with their guilty consciences. Invasion of and violation of someone else's spirit is an awful and sinful act. But their guilty consciences had been repressed intentionally by having national security as an object. Their guilty consciences certainly lie in their spirits, but they seem to be in hiding. Their guilty consciences are not unconscious, but their functions are unconscious. They influence upon the persons themselves and those around them. Are the perpetrators professors, doctors, scientists, or engineers? They are elites of society in any case. They have strong influences over the society. The invisible and unconscious workings of their repressed guilty consciences are slowly ruining the spirits of the persons themselves, of their students, of their followers, of their colleagues, of their families and of their friends, and society and nation. And then their guilty consciences attack the perpetrators at a crucial moment. In “The black cat” written by Edgar Allan Poe, the black cat is a repressed guilty conscience of the main character. He (the cat) seemed to have disappeared after the main character’s crime. But at a crucial moment, suddenly he cries, revealing the main character’s crime and realizing spiritual bankruptcy of the main character. A literary work is a made-up story, but it is an internal reality of people.
The mind control has given rise to self-contradictions from the start. Those who are faced with the threats of spiritual bankruptcies control other people’s spirits. How wretched that is!

閉じ込められた良心

マインドコントロール実行者には人間としての信義も誠実さもない。他者の人格に土足で侵入して、踏みにじるという悪行をなすことによって、被害者だけでなく加害者自身も深刻な精神の危機に陥らねばならない。それは加害者の場合、彼らの抑圧した良心(あるいは罪責)に由来する。国家安全保障のためという名目のもとに、彼らの良心は心の中の深い海の底に閉じ込められる。彼らの良心は確かにそこにあるのだが、一見、どこにもないかのように見える。良心自体は無意識ではないのかもしれないが、“良心の働き”は無意識である。抑圧された良心は、知らないうちに当人自身に働きかけ、そして周りの人に対して“感化”を及ぼしていく。“感化”とは、もちろんよい意味の感化ではない。加害者は、大学教授なのだろうか。それとも科学者か研究者なのだろうか。またはエンジニアなのだろうか。いずれにせよ社会のエリートであることに違いはない。彼らは社会に対して大きな影響力を持っている。加害者が心の中で抱えている病巣(抑圧された良心)は、友人知人や家族や同僚を通じて徐々に社会全体に広がっていくだろう。そして、やがて社会を、国家を内面から腐食させる。まるでシロアリにたかられた木造の家屋のように。抑圧された良心は、一見したところその存在を認めることはできないかもしれないが、常に見えないところで活動を続け当の本人自身や周囲の人々を蝕み続けて、隙を見て襲いかかる。エドガー･アラン･ポーの『黒猫』では、黒猫は主人公の抑圧された良心を表わしている。主人公が犯罪を犯してから、黒猫はどこかにいなくなってしまったようだった。しかし、ここぞという局面において黒猫は、不意に鳴き声を上げる。そして、主人公の犯罪を白日のもとにさらす。主人公の精神の崩壊を誘発しながら。文学作品は確かに虚構である。しかし、人間の内的世界の現実を映し出している。
　マインドコントロールは、そもそもの出発点から自己矛盾を抱えている。精神的崩壊に瀕している者が、他人の精神に分け入って操作しようとは。これはなんという凄惨で恐ろしいことだろうか。

冷戦の収束、冷戦後の政府の神経科学リサーチプログラムに関するマインドコントロールおよび電磁兵器の沿革
By　チェリル・ウェルシュ(Cheryl Welsh)

１．序文
ほとんどの人は神経科学の新しい発展と非殺傷的な電磁兵器プログラムとの間に関係があるとは考えてはいないのではないだろうか。脳の働きは21世紀には解読されるだろうという神経科学の予言と、非殺傷的な電磁兵器は原爆よりもっと強烈だと人権活動の専門家が警告することとの間の関連性ははっきりしていない。だが、いくつかの事実によって、それらは関連していることが明らかになってきた。

2004年10月のDiscover誌のMind Controlという記事でJohn Horganは、現在のテクノロジーでは脳は、遺伝暗号の場合のようにはきちんと解読できない、と科学者が認めたことを報告している。しかし、大きな進展があるのだ。ほとんどの人は、脳や身体をターゲットにした非殺傷的な電磁兵器の開発プログラムが冷戦後に拡大されたことを知らない。電磁放射の生体効果は、電子レンジのように単に加熱する以上の効果があり、脳の重要な機能に測り知れない影響を及ぼす。熱によらない生体効果は、脳の働きを解読するための一つの仮説(原理)ではないが、最新の神経科学や兵器開発プログラムは、熱によらない効果の研究のために資金供与を受けている。

ここで述べる神経科学と兵器の開発の収束の沿革は目を奪うものがあり、原爆以上の深刻な結果を招くことを明らかにしている。DARPA(国防総省国防高等研究事業局)の科学者が、この問題について説明している。

1988年5月22日付けのワシントンAP通信のBartonによる報告(タイトルは、｢大使館に対する電磁攻撃から35年、モスクワシグナルを調査しても疑問は残る｣)によれば、

[Richard S.] Cesaro(国防総省高等研究プロジェクト局の高等感知装置の部門の副長官)は、1960年代の秘密プロジェクトであるパンドラ計画に携わった。その計画では、ウォータリード陸軍研究所の実験室でサルに合成されたモスクワシグナルを被爆させた。Cesaroは、死ぬ2年前にインタビューに応じ次のように述べた。｢実験では驚くべきことを行った。君の脳にはマイクロ波が入り込んでいるかもしれない、ということに疑いはない。｣

旧ソビエト圏の資金の投入について論じ、非イオン化放射線の生体効果に関する研究においては、人員においても実験施設においても旧ソビエト圏は西側諸国よりも勝っているとして、さらに、｢それはいまだに米国に対する重大で深刻な穏やかならぬ脅威だと思う。・・・・もしもこの状況を何とかしたいならば、これまでに作られた爆弾よりも強力なものを持たねばならない。最終的な決断を下す場合、どうしても人々のマインドをコントロールすることを考慮に入れねばならないからだ。｣

秘密のマインドコントロールに関する情報によって、CIAは中止したと表明しているにもかかわらず、それが中止されたのではないことが明らかになった。1979年1月29日付けワシントン・ポストの記事によると、マインドコントロールについてCIA長官に異議を唱える書物の中では、それは1970年代にも続けられていた、と著者は述べている。次はBill Richardsによるレポート、

CIA長官Stansfield Turnerが昨年、CIAによるマインドコントロール・プログラムは10年以上前に終了したとはっきりと表明したにもかかわらず、それが1970年代にも続けられていたことを示す新しい文書をCIAは提出した、と新しく刊行された本で述べられている。その本の著者John Marksは、CIAのマインドコントロール研究者は公になったMK-ULTRAドラッグ・テストプログラムを表向きには中止したが、研究開発局で極秘の別の行動コントロールプロジェクトに引き継がれたと述べている。

Marks の本によると、ORDプロジェクトは、1960年代にボストン以外の地に設立され、ポラロイドの創設者Dr. Edwin Landを名目上の長とする見かけ上の組織を使っていた、という。そして、そのプロジェクトでは、遺伝子工学・細菌の新種の開発・マインドコントロールの研究を行っていた。

このプログラムに関する情報公開法に基づく開示請求は棄却された。

電磁放射の生体に対する非熱効果の50年の沿革と、神経科学と非殺傷兵器に関して増大するその非熱効果の重要性は、マインドコントロール兵器の証拠を明るみに出すための重要な要因となる。最新の公文書によれば、今日、電磁放射の生体に対する非熱効果は、極めて重要な神経学・生物学上のプロセスにとっての基本的事項である。また、科学者によると、生体に対する非熱効果理論は、極めて強力なマインドコントロール兵器にとっての基本的事項でもある。

次のことを強調しておくことは重要なことだ。冷戦中の電磁放射の生体に対する非熱効果についてのアメリカ政府の公式の方針は、電磁放射の生体に対する非熱効果に関する証拠は存在しない、というものであった。ソビエト連邦崩壊後、アメリカ政府はその方針を180度転換し、冷戦後の新しい戦争、生体に対する非熱効果に基づく神経科学研究プログラムと電磁兵器プログラムが始まった。それについては次の資料に記載されている。

以下の資金供与に関する政府のレポート
(1)　アポロ計画に類する３つの新しい政府の神経科学研究プロジェクト　(2)　冷戦、秘密の非殺傷電磁兵器プログラム　(3)　３つの主要な冷戦後の国防に関するレポート（これら3つのレポートは、それぞれ無関係のもの）に記載された電磁兵器のための資金供与の拡大

　生体に対する非熱効果研究の隠蔽や秘密指定の証拠、(1)二人の科学者による表明。その科学者の電磁放射の生体に対する非熱効果についての先駆的な研究は時の試練に耐え、生体に対する非熱効果を否定するアメリカ政府の公式の冷戦についての方針にもかかわらず存在すると述べている。(2)科学者のひとりは、冷戦後にアメリカ政府から資金提供を受けていたが、上記の表明をしたために数年間資金提供を打ち切られた。

　現在の秘密の電磁気的マインドコントロール技術に対する資金提供の証拠。(1) ロッキード・マーティン社の科学者が電磁的なマインドコントロール技術について明らかにしたが、その科学者の研究は一部秘密指定されている。

　政府の秘密に関する方針、公開すべき情報の統制、神経科学や電磁放射の生体に対する非熱効果や非殺傷兵器プロジェクトに関する研究資金提供の管理

　著名なロシアの国会議員V.N. Lopatinによるロシアにおけるマインドコントロールを禁止する立法および電磁的なロシアのマインドコントロールプログラムが拡大しているという冷戦後の軍事アナリストの政府レポート。

　ここに記す新しい情報はめったに主要メディアで報じられないが、マインドコントロールや非殺傷的な電磁兵器に関する錯綜する情報を明らかにしてくれる。そして、脳や身体に向けられた秘密の兵器の開発が、冷戦中に着手され現在まで拡大しつつ続けられているという事実を実証する。時間の経過と新しい情報によって、この兵器がどんなに進化しているかが明らかになるだろう。


2.　神経科学におけるアポロ計画に類する新プロジェクトと国家安全保障との関係

　今日の神経科学は、20年前の遺伝学研究に匹敵する。多くの科学者によると、せいぜい数年か数十年で脳の働きは解明されるだろう、ということである。国防総省国防高等研究事業局の科学者John Chapinは、Discover Magazine誌の2004年10月号の｢マインドコントロール｣という記事で引用された。「神経コードは、宇宙の起源や地球上の生命の起源とともに、大きな科学上のなぞの一つである。そのうち神経コードが最も重要だといってよいだろう。」ただ、記事ではそれに続けて、｢神経コードは解明するのが最も困難である｣としている。この記事の主眼は、国家安全保障のための神経科学研究に関するものだ。

　ニューロサイエンス誌2003年2月号の記事｢マインド・ウォ―ズ｣で倫理学者Jonathan D. Morenoは次のように報告している。｢1940年代から50年代の間、心理学研究の大部分は冷戦時に有利な立場に立とうとする国の安全保障を扱う機関によって行われた｣。D. Morenoは、CIAのリサーチについても触れている。すなわち、悪名高いMkultra計画である。そこでは、LSDの人への効果や動物や人をコントロールするための電磁放射の効果についての研究が行われた。これは、法学教授Allen Scheflinが1978年に出した調べの行き届いた著書“The Mind Manipulators精神の操作者”でも記されている。

　21世紀の初めに脳とそのなぞを解明し、人の神経系を操作する技術を見つけるための科学的大プロジェクトへのおびただしい資金提供が行われた。以下、その3つの例である。

　第一に、2002年6月の400ページにおよぶ商務省のレポート。タイトルは、｢人間行動を改変するためにテクノロジーをひとつにまとめること―ヒューマン・コグノーム(cognome)・プロジェクトの提言―｣(http://www.wtec.org/ConvergingTechnologies/)。ロンドンタイムズ2003年4月29日付記事｢極小世界へようこそ｣では、政府はこれをNBIC (Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno)、アポロ計画に類するプログラムと呼んでいる。その指導者で全米科学財団のMihail Rocoは宇宙計画以来のアメリカ政府の最も重大な関与を確実にした、という。それは、軍とNASAと主要なハイテク関連企業と全米科学財団とを一つの構想の下に結び付け、バイオテクノロジーとの結合をも目指すものである。IBMのチーフ・テクノロジー幹事Jim Spohrerは、このプログラムのことを｢知識、物体、精神、生命のコントロールを神のようなレベルにまで可能にした｣と述べている。

　2002年のテクノロジーの集中に関するレポート85-86頁
　｢ナノテクノロジー、バイオテクノロジー、情報技術および認知科学をひとつにまとめることは、新しい科学的方法論、工学技術の理論的枠組、工業製品を創出するだろう。・・・・これらの分野を統合することで科学は、人間の精神の構造や機能を理解するためのプログラムを迅速に作成することができる。すなわちヒューマン・コグノーム(cognome)・プロジェクトである。実際、精神は最後の未知の領域であり、そのなぞを解明することはおびただしい実益をもたらすだろう。・・・・
人間精神の構造や機能の地図を作成するヒューマン・コグノーム(cognome)・プロジェクトに取り掛かる時である。それは、成功したヒトゲノム解析計画に匹敵する。科学や工学技術の進歩にとって、このプロジェクトほど基本になるものはなく、NBICサイエンスの完全な統合ほど必要なものはない。その調査研究は、脳における結合の完全な地図を作るが、神経科学よりもはるかに広範囲にわたる。認知やコミュニケーションのワーキング・グループに参加した人には、コンピュータやロボットに個人のパーソナリティの性質を転送する持続的な能力に心を動かされる人もいる。それによって人間の経験や行動や寿命を拡張するのである。｣

　ナショナル・セキュリティ287頁、テーマの概要
　｢ナノテクノロジー、バイオテクノロジー、情報技術および認知科学の統合[NBIC]に資金を投入することは、多くの紛争地域や平和維持のやり方を根本的に変えるような革新的なテクノロジーの確立につながるだろう。・・・・元国防長官William J. Perryが強調したように、『戦争の様相や戦争の準備をどうするかを変える』テクノロジーの飛躍的な発展があるのである。この目標のためのたくさんの特別プログラム、報告、発表がある。国防総省は、ナノサイエンスを目標達成のための戦略的研究分野に指定した。(1999年Murday<訳注：この単語は不明>)

　脳と機械をつなぐ装置の利用。NBICの4つの分野を統合することにより、戦闘員は、考える前に(認知する前に)制御動作(刺激)を送信することによって、ややこしい相手(敵？)をコントロールすることができるようになる。その意図は、脳の信号を受信すること(感度の増大や不侵入的な信号探知を行うためのナノテクノロジー)、その信号をコントロールするために使用すること(情報技術)、そしてフィードバック信号の感覚を脳に戻すこと(バイオテクノロジー)である。

　政府による神経科学に関するプロジェクトの第二の例としては、2002年から2年間、2千4百万ドルを投入したDARPA(国防総省国防高等研究事業局)によるものである。それは、政府が主導して｢脳とコンピュータを接続する方法を探り、また、ある個人の脳を他の人の脳と無線で連絡できる装置を開発する｣神経の研究に資金供与するものである。2003年3月号のテクノロジー・レビュー誌の｢マインドマシーンの融合｣と題された記事で、科学者たちは不侵入的な脳の信号探知技術の必要性を論じ、彼らの仕事は不確かではあるけれども、｢無線で他人の脳と連絡し、機械を動かすのに思考そのものを使用するために思考をグレードアップすることは、もはや夢物語ではない｣と記されている。

　3番目の政府による神経科学プロジェクトは、7億ドルの資金をつぎ込んだナノテクノロジー構想であり、これは2000年の政府によるプログラムである。そのプロジェクトの内容は、非侵入的に神経を精査しモニタし、脳とコンピュータとを直接接続する方法の研究のための計画と資金提供である。連邦政府の10機関が資金を提供している。例えば、米国立保健研究所や国防総省である。ガバーンメント・エグゼクティブ誌2003年2月号の記事によると、その構想では次のように述べられている。

Bill Joy（サン・マイクロシステムズ社の共同創立者）は、Wired Magazine2000年4月号に次のように書いている｡｢不幸なことだが、核技術と同様、ナノテクノロジーを破壊的に使うことは建設的に使うことよりもはるかに容易だ｡軍やテロリストは、疑いなくナノテクノロジーを使っている｡｣しかし、Richard Russell（ホワイトハウス科学技術政策のテクノロジー部門の共同責任者）は、次のように言った｡｢われわれが話題にしている研究は、経済と健康の両方に役立つ種類のものだ。・・・・人類の利益になりうるものだ｣。

政府報告書は、ふつう公開することを前提にしているわけではない｡新しい3つの政府による神経科学プロジェクトは広範なものであり、軍の新しい神経科学に関するニュース記事には、詳細にというわけではないけれども突飛な野望が記されている｡情報の多くは、最低限の科学的な証拠や詳細さえも欠けている｡リサーチ（秘密扱いになっているものもある）の目的は、軍の資金供与によって影響を受けている｡記事は一般的・倫理的な問題に限られる｡記事は人々に偏った見方を与え、政府の主張を評価するための確実な情報が欠如している｡

2005 update:
The convergence of the cold war
history of mind control and electromagnetic weapons
with new post cold war government
neuroscience research programs
by Cheryl Welsh
Director, Mind Justice
January, 2005

1. Introduction

Few people would connect the new growth of neuroscience research with nonlethal electromagnetic weapons programs. The nexus between neuroscience predictions that the brain will be decoded in the 21st century and human rights experts warnings that nonlethal electromagnetic weapons are more powerful than the atomic bomb, is not obvious. But with a few more facts, the significance of the connection becomes very obvious and relevant.

As John Horgan reported in the October, 2004 Discover article entitled Mind Control, scientists agree that the brain cannot be decoded with any sophistication, like the genetic code, with current technology. But major advances are in the works. Few people are aware of the post cold war expansion of programs for nonlethal electromagnetic weapons which target the brain and body. The nonthermal bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation are any effect other than heating, as in a microwave oven and are the basis of important brain functions. Nonthermal bioeffects would not be the single theory to decode the brain but new neuroscience and weapons programs are receiving significant funding for nonthermal effects research.

The history of the convergence of neuroscience and weapons development presented here is fascinating and reveals serious consequences beyond the atomic bomb. This quote by a Darpa (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) scientist illustrates the issue in everyday terms.

Washington AP, May 22, 1988 by Barton Reppert, entitled, Looking at the Moscow Signal, the Zapping of an Embassy 35 years later, The Mystery Lingers,

[Richard S.] Cesaro, [deputy director for advanced sensors at the Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency] helped run the classified [1960s] Project Pandora, in which monkeys were exposed to a 'synthetic Moscow signal' in a laboratory at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. ...Cesaro, in an interview prior to his death two years ago, contended that "in our experiments we did some remarkable things. And there was no question in my mind that you can get into the brain with microwaves."

Arguing that the Soviet bloc's investment of funds, personnel and laboratory facilities in research on non-ionizing radiation bioeffects has far outstripped the West's, he said, "I look at it as still a major, serious, unsettled threat to the security of the United States, ...If you really make the breakthrough, you've got something better than any bomb ever built, because when you finally come down the line you're talking about controlling people's minds,"

Information on classified mind control programs reveals that they did not stop, despite claims by the CIA. The January 29th, 1979, Washington Post article, Book Disputes CIA Chief on Mind-Control Efforts; Work Went On Into 1970s, Author Says, by Bill Richards reported,

Despite assurances last year from Central Intelligence Director Stansfield Turner that the CIA's mind-control program was phased out over a decade ago, the intelligence agency has come up with new documents indicating that the work went on into the 1970s, according to a new book. ... John Marks, the author of the book, said the CIA mind-control researchers did apparently drop their much publicized MK-ULTRA drug-testing program. But they replaced it, according to Marks, with another supersecret behavioral-control project under the agency's Office of Research and Development.

The ORD program used a cover organization set up in the 1960s outside Boston headed by Dr. Edwin Land, the founder of Polaroid, who acted as a "figurehead," said Marks in his book. The project investigated such research as genetic engineering, development of new strains of bacteria, and mind control.

A freedom of information act request for program details was denied.

The fifty year history of nonthermal bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation and it's growing significance for neuroscience and nonlethal weapons is a key factor for uncovering evidence of mind control weapons. Today, nonthermal bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation are the basis for very important neurological and biological processes, according to new government documents. The nonthermal bioeffects theory is the basis for very powerful mind control weapons, according to scientists.

It is important to note; the US government's official policy on the nonthermal bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation during the cold war was; there is no proof of nonthermal bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation. After the breakup of the Soviet Union, the US government's official policy took an about-face and new post cold war neuroscience research programs and electromagnetic weapons programs based on the nonthermal bioeffects have begun. This paper will include;

Government reports on funding of 1)three new Apollo-like government neuroscience research projects, 2)cold war, very classified nonlethal electromagnetic weapons programs and 3)expansion of funding for electromagnetic weapons as described in three unrelated, major post cold war defense reports,

Evidence of suppression/secrecy classification of nonthermal bioeffects research,1) statements by two scientists whose pioneering research on nonthermal bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation have withstood the test of time and who spoke out in spite of the US government's official cold war policy denying that nonthermal bioeffects exist, and 2) the recent post cold war government funding of one of the scientist's research, years after losing cold war government funding for speaking out,

Evidence of current funding of classified 'mind control' electromagnetic technology; 1) Lockheed Martin scientist who demonstrated electromagnetic mind control technology and whose work is classified in part,

Government secrecy policies and control of information available to the public and control of research funding for neuroscience, electromagnetic radiation bioeffects and nonlethal weapons programs,

Legislation to ban russian mind control by the prominent Duma member V.N. Lopatin and post cold war military analyst's government reports on expanding electromagnetic and russian mind control programs,

New information presented here and rarely reported in mainstream media, clarifies conflicting information available on mind control and nonlethal electromagnetic weapons and documents the fact that classified weapons to target the brain and body began during the cold war and continue to expand, to the present time. The passage of time and new information has revealed how advanced the weapons probably are.

2. Apollo-like new programs in neuroscience and the connection to national security

Neuroscience today is comparable to genetics research twenty years ago. According to many scientists, it is a matter of years or decades before scientists will understand how the brain works. Defense Advanced Research Projects scientist John Chapin was quoted in the October, 2004 Discover Magazine article entitled, Mind Control. "The neural code [is] right up there with two other great scientific mysteries: the origin of the universe and of life on earth. The neural code is arguably the most consequential of the three." But the article continues, "...the neural code may be the hardest to solve." The focus of this paper is on neuroscience research for national security purposes.

"During the 1940s and 50s, the bulk of psychological research was provided by national security agencies that were interested in gaining an advantage during the cold war", reported ethicist Jonathan D. Moreno in a February, 2003 Neuroscience article entitled, Mind Wars. Dr. Moreno is referring in part to research by the CIA, the infamous Mkultra program which included research on the human effects of LSD and the effects of electromagnetic radiation for control of animals and humans, as described in a well-documented 1978 book by law professor Allen Scheflin, The Mind Manipulators.

Beginning with the 21st century, there has been enormous government funding of big science projects to decode the brain and its mysteries and to find megatechnologies to manipulate the neurology of humans. Here are three examples.

First, the Department of Commerce, June, 2002, four-hundred page report entitled, Converging Technologies For Improving Human Performance (http://www.wtec.org/ConvergingTechnologies/) recommends a 'human cognome project'. A London Times April 29, 2003 article, Welcome to the Nanostate reported that the government calls this effort 'NBIC (Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno)', an Apollo-like program, and its director, Mihail Roco of the National Science Foundation has secured the US's biggest government commitment to technological research since the space programme, uniting the military, NASA, leading high-tech companies and the NSF(National Science Foundation) in a single vision with the goal of wiring together biotechnology. Jim Spohrer, chief technology officer at IBM described this program as "enabling a godlike level of control over knowledge, matter, mind and life."

Page 85-86, 2002 Converging Technologies Report;

...The convergence of nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and cognitive science could create new scientific methodologies, engineering paradigms, and industrial products... By uniting these disciplines, science would become ready to succeed in a rapid program to understand the structure and functions of the human mind, The Human Cognome Project. Truly, the mind is the final frontier, and unraveling its mysteries will have tremendous practical benefits. ...

The Human Cognome Project It is time to launch a Human Cognome Project, comparable to the successful Human Genome Project, to chart the structure and functions of the human mind. No project would be more fundamental to progress throughout science and engineering, or would require a more complete unification of NBIC sciences. ...While the research would include a complete mapping of the connections in the human brain, it would be far more extensive than neuroscience. ...Some participants in the human cognition and communication working group were impressed by the long-term potential for uploading aspects of individual personality to computers and robots, thereby expanding the scope of human experience, action, and longevity.

Page 287 National Security, Theme Summary

Investment in convergent nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive science [NBIC] is expected to result in innovative technologies that revolutionize many domains of conflict and peacekeeping. ...As former Defense Secretary William J. Perry has noted, these are the technological breakthroughs that are "changing the face of war and how we prepare for war." There are numerous special programs, reports and presentations that address these goals. The Department of Defense has designated nanoscience as a strategic research area in order to accelerate the expected benefits (Murday 1999). ...

Applications of brain-machine interface. The convergence of all four NBIC fields will give warfighters the ability to control complex entities by sending control actions prior to thoughts (cognition) being fully formed. The intent is to take brain signals (nanotechnology for augmented sensitivity and nonintrusive signal detection) and use them in a control strategy (information technology), and then impart back into the brain the sensations of feedback signals (biotechnology).

The second major government neuroscience project is the 2002, two year, $24 million, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), government initiative which is actively funding neural research "to explore brain-computer interfacing and to create devices that allow one person's brain to communicate wirelessly with another's." In a Technology Review, May, 2003 article entitled, Mind-machine Merger, scientists discuss the need for a noninvasive brain signal detection technology, admit their work is speculative but "no longer view them [communicating wirelessly with another and upgrading thoughts, using thoughts to power machines...etc.] as pure fantasy."

The third major government neuroscience project is the $700 million Nanotechnology Initiative, a 2000 government-run program, which includes the proposal and funding of research for methods of noninvasive neural probes and monitors, and direct brain to computer communication. Ten federal agencies fund the initiative including National Institute of Health and the Defense Department. Government Executive February, 2003 article on the Initiative stated;

"Bill Joy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems wrote in the April 2000 Wired Magazine that "Unfortunately, as with nuclear technology, it is far easier to create destructive uses for nanotechnology than constructive ones. Nanotechnology has clear military and terrorist uses." But Richard Russell, Associate Director for Technology at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, stated, "the kind of research that we're talking about is in areas that are directly helpful to both our economy and things like human health. ...It's research that's going to be beneficial to the human race."

Government reports are generally not designed with the public in mind. The three new government neuroscience projects are far reaching and the many news articles on the new neuroscience military research describe very futuristic high hopes with few details. Most of the information lacks even a minimum of scientific evidence and detail. The direction of research, some of which is classified, is influenced by military funding. The reports are limited to generalized ethical concerns. The reports present the public with a biased view and a lack of solid information in which to evaluate the government claims.

3. The link between the explosion of government neuroscience research and classified cold war/post cold war weapons programs

The new neuroethics conferences have not included military research in their discussions and yet many articles describe weapons which target the nervous system and brain. This summary of 2004 developments, includes the long-term military interest in nonlethal, electromagnetic weapons and human rights expert's comments on the continuing problem of excessive secrecy. The excessive secrecy prevents evaluation of the new weapons by human rights groups. The Reuters World Service, May 30, 1996, Microwave and acoustic weapons pose new threats, Jim Della-Giacoma reported;

"...There are indications that [electromagnetic weapons] may have adverse affects on the brain," she [Louise Doswald-Beck, Deputy Head of the legal division of the Geneva-based ICRC(International Committee for the Red Cross)] ...Doswald-Beck said all developed countries were doing research on microwave and acoustic weapons. "The U.S. makes a lot of mention of it in its specialised literature but then they say it's classified. The same goes with some European countries. The West assumes that Russia's doing it, but it is kept under wraps," she said. Doswald-Beck said the ICRC was unable to do the early research on banning microwave and acoustic weapons because they were shrouded in secrecy.

The comparable cold war russian electromagnetic weapons programs indicates the importance of the weapons and a cold war competition with the US. Evidence of weapons programs in US and Russia can be found in UN documents. Certainly the conclusion can be made that if one super power were developing new weapons, the other would have to follow suit. US officials knew of possible electromagnetic weapons in 1977 and the official response was reported in the New York Times, August 12, 1977, page 7,

US rejects Soviet proposals at Geneva Disarmament Conference for comprehensive international treaty banning new weapons of mass destruction. US representative Adrian Fisher says US believes best approach is to work out separate agreements outlawing specific weapons, once they become public knowledge. Soviet delegate Viktor I. Likhachev says that 'important component' of revised version is list of types of armaments to be prohibited. Proposed list covers non-explosive radioactive weapons, infrasonic and electromagnetic radiation weapons.

First, an overview of electromagnetic nonlethal weapons from Bulletin of Atomic Scientist, September, 1994 article entitled, Softkill Fallacy by Steve Aftergood. Barbara Hatch Rosenberg writes;

Many of the non-lethal weapons under consideration utilize infrasound or electromagnetic energy (including lasers, microwave or radio-frequency radiation, or visible light pulsed at brain-wave frequency) for their effects. These weapons are said to cause temporary or permanent blinding, interference with mental processes, modification of behavior and emotional response, seizures, severe pain, dizziness, nausea and diarrhea, or disruption of internal organ functions in various other ways.

Bradford Non-Lethal Weapons Research Project(BNLWRP) Research Report No. 5 by Neil Davison and Nick Lewer, May, 2004 reported the following new information and issues concerning weapons which target the brain. Report posted at; http://www.bradford.ac.uk/acad/nlw/research_reports/

Page 36;

Robin M. Coupland FRCS, Medical Adviser, Legal Division, International Committee of the Red Cross, ...But what about an eye-attack laser, or a foam which sticks the people to the ground and to each other or, as is apparently being researched, the means to alter brain function with electromagnetic waves. The precise effects of such weapons - when used for real - in terms of mortality and residual disability or civilian deaths and injuries are not known with any certainty. But in contrast to weapons which injure by missile or explosive force, few medical people would recognize, let alone be able to treat such unusual effects.

Page 15 of the 2004 Bradford report;

Strategic Use of NLWs; Defense Science Board

The Defense Science Board, an advisory committee to the DOD [Department of Defense], published a report in February, 2004 entitled 'Defense Science Board Task Force on Future Strategic Strike Forces'. One of their conclusions advocated non-lethal weapons for strategic use;

Non-lethal effects directed at the physiological or psychological functions of specific individuals or the populace. Applications of biological, chemical, or electromagnetic radiation effects on humans should be pursued. R&D into sophisticated psychological operations designed to change the minds of individuals or the populace is needed. Techniques could include projection of sounds and images to specific points in space. The Joint Non-lethal Weapons Program Directorate should broaden its tactical and operational focus to consider the strategic applications and associated treaty issues of non-lethal weapons.73

73 Defense Science Board (2004) Defense Science Board Task Force on Future Strategic Strike Forces. Office of the Under Secretary of Defense For Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics: Washington DC

The Defense Science Board excerpt describes recommendations for future research and are based in part on nonthermal effects of electromagnetic radiation. This illustrates the change in US cold war policy of denial of nonthermal effects. The weapons are for military, rather than intelligence mind control weapons like the CIA's Mkultra program and include psychological weapons for targeting individuals and the populace. Few people are aware that a significant amount of neuroscience research is conducted by the military.

4. Cold war classified, large weapons programs include mind control

The 1999 Council on Foreign Relations, (CFR) report entitled, Non-Lethal Technologies: Progress and Prospects illustrates the already developed and very large classified programs which include neuroscience and nonlethal weapons. The subsequent 2004 Council on Foreign Relations report is also included below to demonstrate the ongoing interservice conflicts and lack of accountability. The 1999 report is available on the CFR website at http://www.cfr.org/ Thanks to Harlan Girard of International Offensive Against Microwave Weapons for this information. First, the 1999 CFR report excerpt;

Once developed, these weapons [NLW or nonlethal weapons] must be deployed coherently, in synergistic coordination with information/psychological warfare technologies and conventional weaponry. Finally, various NLW programs dispersed throughout the individual services should be coordinated by the existing Joint Nonlethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD). ...

And until January 1999, the directorate essentially had no access to joint programs in information warfare or psychological warfare. Nor did its brief extend to Air Force and Navy programs in nonlethal weapons. To reduce barriers between the Joint Nonlethal Weapons Directorate and what are said to be 'large programs' in psychological warfare, information warfare, and nonlethal weapons with strategic potential, a so-called insight program was established. As a result, a few individuals in the directorate now have an overview of these programs. ...

Recommendations ...5. Department of Defense policy for nonlethal weapons is inadequate in practice. The substantial barriers that exist between the Joint Nonlethal Weapons Directorate, with its focus on research and development for tactical applications, and the apparently larger Air Force and Navy classified programs constitute an impediment to the desired single, optimum nonlethal weapons program that is required to exploit the full potential of these weapons and that is mandated by Congress. ...

In a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) adopted June 23, 1999, the services agreed to "coordinate and integrate the development of all nonlethal weapon programs and activities through the DOD nonlethal weapons Executive Agent." While this seems to be progress, the new MOA codifies restrictions-e.g., "insight, not financial oversight"-and limits access-e.g., "monitor status of service-unique programs through annual status briefings from the responsible service.

The 2004 Council of Foreign Relations report, Nonlethal Weapons and Capabilities is posted here; http://www.cfr.org/

Page 19 of the 2004 Report of an Independent Task Force Sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations, entitled Nonlethal Weapons and Capabilities recommended that skilled engineers and scientists work on directed energy, electromagnetic coupling, modeling and physiology. Page 21 described the lack of access to classified programs such as cyber warfare, electronic and communications warfare, although the legislative mandate required access. Page 25 discussed already existing and much larger classified programs in the individual services that were not accessible to current nonlethal weapons development programs. Page 36 described the recommendation that more access to classified programs be made available so that coordination can take place and redundancy can be avoided.

How advanced the weapons are, cannot be determined from government reports. Most articles and government reports describe nonlethal electromagnetic weapons as heavily classified and little more. The military has not publicly used these weapons and there is no official reason given for the long-term heavy classification. One possible explanation, as many experts have stated; electromagnetic weapons and mind control weapons as powerful as the atomic bomb in their effects. For example;

1986 Press Conference on Gorbachev's Nuclear Arms Elimination Proposals. BBC "Weapons based on new physical principles would include, ... beam, radio-wave, infrasonic, geophysical and genetic weapons. In their strike characteristics these types of weapons might be no less dangerous than mass strike weapons. The Soviet Union considers it necessary to establish a ban on the development of arms of this kind."

Although not well-known, clearly, nonlethal weapons directly involve neuroscience research. For example from Scotland on Sunday, August 3, 1997, It's war, Jim, but not as we know it, by Jimie Dettmer;

The Pentagon's exotic weapons programme, led by the Air Force, is cloaked in ultra-secrecy which forbids any public comment by scientists. ...The US Marine Corps has done research at its lab in Maryland on electromagnetic weapons,... "We were looking at electrical acivity in the brain and how to influence it," scientist Eldon Byrd said recently. Electromagnetic radiation-basically waves below radio frequencies- was found to prompt human or animal brains to release chemicals that affect behaviour.

The military interest in nonlethal electromagnetic weapons continues to grow. Aerospace Daily February 27, 2004, Task force calls for major push in nonlethal weapons by Jefferson Morris reported;

An independent task force sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations is recommending that the Department of Defense greatly increase funding for nonlethal weapons (NLW) and promote their use by the armed services. "We're serious about this," task force co-chair and former Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Paul Kelley (ret.) said at a press conference in Washington Feb. 26. "This probably is one of the most important additions ... to the military capabilities that I have seen in well over several decades."

The Navy Times, February 16, 2004, Nonlethal weapons gain favor, by Christian Lowe reported the Joint Nonlethal Weapons Directorate budget had nearly doubled in fiscal 2004, to $44 million, for development and testing of nonlethal weapons. The Defense AT & L July 1, 2004 reported; The Defense Department's Director of Force Transformation, retired Vice Adm. Arthur K. Cebrowski, said, "...the United States must accelerate and expand its work in nonlethal weapons, directed and redirected energy, and biomedical response."

5. Dr. Robert O. Becker, pioneer bioelectromagnetics researcher

As reported in the London Guardian Newspaper, February 2, 1991, War in the desert by Simon North, Dr. Robert O. Becker has twice been nominated for a Nobel prize for his work in bio-electromagnetism and had been the recipient of a prestigious US award for his medical research. Dr. Becker's cold war era research on the nonthermal bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation has withstood the test of time. While the military denied nonthermal bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation during the cold war, Dr. Robert O. Becker disagreed and described his 1970s loss of government funding for nonthermal electromagnetic bioeffect research in his 1990 book entitled, Crosscurrents, Perils of Electropollution. Now weapons and neuroscience research government reports are building on and reporting funding of research very similar to his thirty year old nonthermal bioeffects research.

6. New neuroscience research includes nonthermal bioeffects

The 2002 Converging Technologies for Improving Human Performance, has elaborated on Dr. Becker's research as described in his 1985 book, The Body Electric; Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life. One example of Dr. Becker's research, page 238 of Body Electric;

We also found that we could work backward, using the [brain] currents to produce anesthesia. A strong enough magnetic field oriented at right angles to a current magnetically 'clamped' it, stopping the flow. By placing frogs and salamanders between poles of an electromagnet so that the back to front current in their heads was perpendicular to the magnetic lines of force, we could anesthetize the animals just as well as we could with chemicals, and EEG recordings of magnetic and chemical anesthesia were identical. We got the same effect by passing a current through the brain from front to back, canceling out the normal current of waking consciousness, as in electrosleep.

The 2002 Converging Technologies Report is now proposing similar research thirty years later. Page 355-6 of the report;

Non-drug Treatments for Enhancement of Human Performance, Robert Asher, Sandia Laboratories

Drug companies spend an average of $800 million to develop new drugs that may have negative side effects. An alternative is to develop non-drug approaches to human performance enhancement. ...Consider the use of externally applied, non-dangerous electromagnetic fields ...that enhance human performance.

...What other changes can be engineered by a specifically shaped electromagnetic pulse that might enhance human performance without pharmaceuticals? ...This investigation may spawn a new industry in which the human is enhanced by externally applied electromagnetic pulses so shaped as to enhance specific biochemical changes within the body without drugs...

Fund work towards the goal of understanding in detail the effects of electromagnetics on cellular systems and on cognition.

Consider cellular electrochemical and structural changes and actions imposed by electromagnetics.

Fund work towards electromagnetic and biochemical dynamical modeling of cellular systems in order to both understand electromagnetic and biochemical aspects, as well as to optimize the shape of electromagnetic pulses to impose desired cell changes without inducing side effects.

Nonthermal bioeffects research was rarely openly discussed by the US government during the cold war. Not so, thiry years later; now government funding of research similar to Dr. Becker's animal experiments and recommendations for futher exploration of nonthermal bioeffects are plainly evident. The actual funding of electromagnetic technologies for keeping soldiers and pilots awake and alert for up to five days at a time by 'zapping' their brain with electromagnetic energy was reported by The Telegraph, January 6, 2003, Scientists seek 'super-soldiers' formula. The article quoted Jan Walker, spokesman for Darpa, (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), who confirmed funding of this research at Columbia University, New York, Neurological Science Department.

7. Weapons research based on nonthermal bioeffects

The US government has long funded classified research in the basic theory of nonthermal bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation. The 1990 description of weapons, below, is similar to the description in the 2002 Converging Technologies report above and also very similar to Dr. Becker's basic research on animals in the 1960s and 1970s. The 1992 International Review of the Red Cross, November 1, 1990, Development of New Antipersonnel Weapons by Doswald-Beck and Caderay described directed energy weapons as follows;

Research work in this field has been carried out in almost all industrialized countries,... In spite of the rarity of publications on this subject, and the fact that it is usually strictly classified information, research undertaken in this field seems to have demonstrated that very small amounts of electromagnetic radiation could appreciably alter the functions of living cells.

Research work has also revealed that pathological effects close to those induced by highly toxic substances could be produced by electromagnetic radiation even at very low power, especially those using a pulse shape containing a large number of different frequencies.

...Some research seems to have confirmed that low-level electromagnetic fields, modulated to be similar to normal brainwaves, could seriously affect brain function. Experiments with pulsed magnetic fields carried out in animals have reportedly produced specific effects such as inducing sleep and triggering anxiety or aggressiveness, depending on the modulation of the frequency used.

...It is, on the other hand, well known that lethal effects can also be produced using higher power levels than those used for the experiments on behaviour modification. An anti-personnel weapons based on such biophysical principles could produce similar effects to those of a nerve gas, but would have no secondary effects and leave no lasting trace.

This illustrates how the government can control neuroscience research by funding and classifying the research. The US government has a long-term interest in electromagnetic radiation bioeffects, the research is very classified and no weapons have been publicly used; all indicators of a powerful technology and national security issue.

The long-term military interest in the psychological effects of electromagnetic radiation is also relevant, as reported in the television documentary, Opening Pandora's Box, 1984, produced by David Jones for Fulcrum Central Productions, which aired on BBC Channel 4. On the BBC program, Dr. Becker stated that he was asked by the CIA in early 60s to determine whether pilots shot down and captured by Soviets in the 1960s could possibly have been exposed to electromagnetic radiation without them realizing it and would that have caused personality change. The pilots were tested psychologically before and when they came home.

A dramatic change in test results was found. The question posed by the CIA was; Can you change, entrain brainwaves with an external source? "Pilots did not report bad treatment and were not aware of any emr exposure by Soviets during debriefing sessions." They were interned by the Soviets for two to six weeks and returned with "considerable personality alterations".

The CIA wanted to know if there was a relationship between the Moscow Embassy and flight crews that would cause personality alteration? Dr. Becker stated "yes, there is a distinct possibility, we don't know at this time for sure."

8. The nonthermal bioeffects controversy

The basic controversy over nonthermal effects of electromagnetic radiation was firmly established by the military's heavy dependence on electromagnetic technologies for radars, electronic systems, antennas, etc. If nonthermal bioeffects were found to affect the health of military personnel, lawsuits and costly preventive measures would be required, therefore the standard for exposure to electromagnetic radiation was set above the nonthermal bioeffects level.

The 1984 BBC TV documentary, Opening Pandora's Box, explained;

The safety standards for electromagnetic radiation, emr, were set higher in the 1950s to allow the military to have unlimited use of emr technology. At the time, American science reports suggesting emr health effects of brain tumors, heart conditions, leukemia, cataracts and more, were ignored. The military was a major source of funding and reports were not followed up. The government safety levels for emr were challenged in courts all around the world.

Microwave News, a journal on nonionizing radiation, for example, reported that radar men opposed microwave tower emr health dangers. Air traffic controllers and police officers filed complaints. These court cases revolved around the validity of the safety standard. Dr. Milton Zaret, another Pandora scientist explained that most government committees who set the safety standards around the world were set up the in the same way as in the U.S. Members of the committee did not want to impede or put restraints on progress by tightening the safety standards for emr.

Dr. Becker explained the how the government suppressed nonthermal bioeffects research in his 1990 book, Crosscurrents, The Perils of Electropollution.

The chapter entitled, The Hidden Hand on the Switch: Military Uses of the Electromagnetic Spectrum, page 297;

The military organism was designed on the 10 mW standard and, once in place, it had to be defended against the possibility of nonthermal bioeffects. The recognition and validation of these effects would mean the collapse of the total organism and the death of C3I,(for command, control, communications, and intelligence). ...evidence for nonthermal effects was viewed as a threat to national security.

Control over the scientific establishment was maintained by allocating research funds in such a way as to ensure that only 'approved' projects -- that is projects that would not challenge the thermal-effect standard -- would be undertaken. ...In some instances, scientists were told that nonthermal effects did occur, but that national security objectives required that they be exceptionally well established before they became public knowledge.

All of these reports shared certain characteristics. Scientific data indicating nonthermal bioeffects were either ignored or subjected to extensive and destructive review. ...while a statement such as 'There is no evidence for any effects of pulsed magnetic fields on humans' would have been literally true, it would have ignored the many reports of such effects on laboratory animals and the fact that no actual tests had been conducted on humans.

Scientists who persisted in publicly raising the issue of harmful effects from any portion of the electromagnetic spectrum were discredited, and their research grants were taken away.

Deployment of powerful and exotic electromagnetic systems continues, with little, if any, consideration given to the potential impact of these systems on the health and safety of the public.

9. Denial of nonthermal bioeffects is a cover story for US weapons program

On the 1984 BBC documentary, Dr. Becker stated; "the best cover story [for a large, classified electromagnetic weapons program] is that, based on best American scientist's [opinions], the [US] nation has discarded [the theory of athermal] health effects from emr [electromagnetic radiation], entirely." In fact, this was the official US position. Post cold war articles prove that Dr. Becker was right. One of the many articles discussing post cold war funding of electromagnetic weapons includes the July, 7, 1997 US News and World Report, Wonder Weapons, by Douglas Pasternak; "For hundreds of years, sci-fi writers have imagined weapons that might use energy waves or pulses to know out, knock down, or otherwise disable enemies-without necessarily killing them. And for a good 40 years the U.S. military has quietly been pursuing weapons of this sort. Much of this work is still secret, and it has yet to produce a usable 'nonlethal' weapon. ...Scores of new contracts have been let, and scientists, aided by government research on the 'bioeffects' of beamed energy, are searching the electromagnetic and sonic spectrums for wavelengths that can affect human behavior."

10. Dr. Ross Adey, bioelectromagnetics researcher dies

Dr. Adey was an outspoken advocate, for example, at a 1987 congressional hearing about the lack of research on nonthermal bioeffects. Dr. Adey put the blame on military and corporate interests. As reported in Microwave News, May, 2004, http://www.microwavenews.com/may_04.html#may20;

Ross Adey died on May 20th at the age of 82 after a long battle against a series of bronchial infections. Adey, a medical doctor, was a towering figure in the EMF community, who was equally at ease talking about the most recent papers in the biological and medical literature or dissecting the arcane engineering details of an experimental setup. He is perhaps best known for discovering, with Suzanne Baldwin, the first non-thermal effect of electromagnetic radiation during the 1970s: They showed how ELF-modulated RF signals can lead to the release of calcium ions from cells.

While at the Brain Research Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles, he worked with the Department of Defense on Project Pandora, the super-secret program that sought a way to use electromagnetic radiation for mind control.

In the late 1970s, Adey set up a new lab at the VA Hospital in Loma Linda, CA, where he carried out studies on the role of power frequency EMFs in the promotion of cancer and later, on the potential cancer risks following exposure to cell phone radiation. As the chair of a committee of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) investigating ELF health effects, Adey made waves by recommending strong action to curb public exposures. He endorsed a 2 mG exposure standard for 50/60 Hz EMFs (see MWN, J/A95). This was too radical for the NCRP leadership and today, close to ten years later, the council continues to refuse to release his report.

Adey prompted another stir when his studies of long-term exposure to cell phone radiation pointed to what appeared to be a protective effect -that is, exposed mice developed fewer tumors (see MWN, M/J96, J/A96 and S/O99). Motorola, which paid for Adey's experiments, repudiated this finding and soon afterwards stopped supporting his lab. It closed down a short time later. In an interview with Fortune magazine in October 2000, Adey urged that research continue: "There is a big task ahead to define what the lowest level of safe exposure could be," he said, predicting that, "Wherever we go we will be immersed in a sea of low-level pulsed microwave signals." A memorial service will be held in a few weeks in the Los Angeles area.

11. Project Pandora findings; denial of nonthermal bioeffects

As mentioned in the Microwave News article, Dr. Adey conducted research on Project Pandora. The 1984 BBC TV documentary, Opening Pandora's Box explained the history of this 1960s US project.

The Soviets started bombarding the American Embassy in Moscow with a directional microwave beam with a mix of frequencies ranging from 2.5-4.1 GHz (gigahertz) in 1953 and the US government funded Project Pandora to find out why. Project Pandora was "a top secret multimillion dollar program". Top scientific experts were consulted by the American Government "about the meaning of microwaving" of the Moscow Embassy. "Five presidents kept it secret". President Johnson complained to the Soviet Premier Kosygin who claimed that he was unaware of the signal and would be sure that it was turned off.

Officially the Soviets did not admit that they were microwaving the Embassy. But the bombardment of the Moscow Embassy continued. It began in 1953 and in 1975 the signals changed with lower power signals.

A May 22, 1988 AP article entitled, The Zapping of an Embassy: 35 Years Later, The Mystery Lingers by Barton Reppert reported; "In 1976 Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger tells a news conference that "this issue is a matter of great delicacy which has many ramifications." He declines to go into detail. ...In 1988, microwave signals in the 5-11 GHz range continue to be detected at the Moscow embassy... the State department reported."

David Jones, producer of 1984 BBC documentary, Opening Pandora's Box, asked Dr. Koslov, director of Project Pandora; "In terms of science there seems to be two possibilities, one is that behavior and health are affected by emr and the second is the creation of a new genre of weapons and that its conceivable that it is a totally black area of research. Dr. Koslov replied that back in 1965, there was alot of conjecture and hypothesis about that. That's why it led to Project Pandora. Since then, I don't think there is very much possibility, that there is, at this point in time, there doesn't seem to be.

Dr. Sam Koslov,... continued, "[We] thought about it, don't get me wrong,... but nothing was found, it doesn't look like [there is]...militarily at this time, there is no emr weapons potential. There is nothing to the biological effects claim. There is an amount of power problem."

David Jones asked Dr. Koslov why he thought that the Soviets were microwaving the Embassy. Dr. Koslov replied that "I would rather not discuss it [because] it would get into security areas."

12. Dr. Adey asks, "How stupid does the US Air Force think the public is?"

Dr. Adey wrote a 2002 letter lambasting the post cold war about-face, US Air Force policy on nonthermal bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation and the hypocrisy of the USAF Research Lab's, hosting of the Third International Symposium on Nonthermal Medical/Biological Treatments Using Electromagnetic Fields and Ionized Gases. Dr. Adey asked the question, "How stupid does the USAF think the public is?" A copy of the letter with documented details of the USAF's entrenched and long standing nonthermal bioeffects policy is posted at: http://www.emrnetwork.org/position/adey_jostes_nas_panel.pdf. Dr. Adey's research and advocacy will be greatly missed.

The 2004 book, Bioelectromagnetic Medicine edited by Dr. Paul J. Rosch and Dr. Marko S. Markov can be found in the UC Davis Medical library. Dr. Rosch wrote the following excerpt on the few trailblazers in the field of bioelectromagnetic medicine, including Dr. Adey and Dr. Becker.

In the decade to come, it is safe to predict, bioelectromagnetics will assume a therapeutic importance equal to, or greater than, that of pharmacology and surgery today. With proper interdisciplinary effort, significant inroads can be made in controlling the ravages of cancer, some forms of heart disease, arthritis, hormonal disorders, and neurological scrounges such as Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis. This prediction is not pie-in-the-sky. Pilot studies and biological mechanisms already described in primordial terms, form a rational basis for such a statement- J. Andrew L. Bassett, 1992

Andy Bassett was one of the early advocates of the use of electromagnetic fields for uniting fractures that refused to heal. Unfortunately, he died before he could see that his prophecy would come true well ahead of schedule. In many respects this book is a tribute to him and other pioneers such as Bob Becker, Abe Liboff, Bjorn Nordenstrom, and Ross Adey who recognized the vast potential of bioelectromagnetic medicine and have helped to put it on a solid scientific footing.

13. John Norseen's national security mind control research

Most people are unaware of the extent of government control in national security matters of, 1) research funding and 2) available public information. This is true for mind control research. In 2001, John Norseen, a Lockheed Martin neuroscientist, demonstrated promising mind control research, according to US News, which was subsequently described as promising future defense research in a 2002 major government report and after 2002 just disappeared. Norseen's research is a rare glimpse into government neuroscience/mind control research and the process of government funding and secrecy.

Research on human mind control for national security is seldom addressed by neuroscientists and unclassified scientific literature on military mind control is scarce. Most neuroscientists describe mind control as futuristic. The following articles report that Norseen's research is funded by the Pentagon, is classified in part, has actually been demonstrated and is recommended for future research by major government defense agencies.

US News & World Report January 3-10, 2000, John Norseen Reading your mind-and injecting smart thoughts, Douglas Pasternak described Norseen's work; "The key is finding 'brain prints'." "Think of your hand touching a mirror," explains Norseen. "It leaves a fingerprint." BioFusion would reveal the fingerprints of the brain by using mathematical models. "Just like you can find one person in a million through fingerprints," he says, "you can find one thought in a million."

Signal Magazine, Decoding Minds, October, 2001 by Dr. John D. Norseen of Lockheed Martin reported; "We are at the point where this database has been developed enough that we can use a single electrode or something like an airport security system where there is a dome above our head to get enough information that we can know the number you're thinking,"

14. Dr. Norseen's demonstration of mind reading.

In the New York Times December 9, 2001, The Year in Ideas: A TO Z.; The Lie Detector That Scans Your Brain, Clive Thompson reported; "John Norseen, a scientist with Lockheed Martin, is often able to discern when subjects are thinking of particular numbers. He predicts that by 2005, brain mappers will be able to automatically scan the skulls of everyone going through airports to search for potential hijackers. ...But after the Sept. 11 attacks, the FBI and CIA are taking a closer look at brain mapping. And the Department of Defense is helping finance Norseen's research."

The Washington Times, August 17, 2002, NASA plans to read terrorist's minds at airport by Frank J. Murray;

Airport security screeners may soon try to read the minds of travelers to identify terrorists. Officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration have told Northwest Airlines security specialists that the agency is developing brain-monitoring devices in cooperation with a commercial firm, which it did not identify. Space technology would be adapted to receive and analyze brain-wave and heartbeat patterns, then feed that data into computerized programs 'to detect passengers who potentially might pose a threat,' according to briefing documents obtained by The Washington Times.

NASA wants to use 'noninvasive neuro-electric sensors,' imbedded in gates, to collect tiny electric signals that all brains and hearts transmit. Computers would apply statistical algorithms to correlate physiologic patterns with computerized data on travel routines, criminal background and credit information from 'hundreds to thousands of data sources,' NASA documents say.

The 2002 NSF Converging Technologies report included a description matching Norseen's research. Dr. Robert Asher of federal government Sandia Laboratories endorsed funding of nonthermal effects research and the last lines of the description below sounds very similar to Dr. Norseen's research. Page 356-8;

Develop a program that will explore the use of electromagnetics for enhancement of human performance. This program will be multidisciplinary in orientation, utilizing, ...

information technology in that the pulses need to be so shaped as to cause desired interconnected cell electromagnetic responses of cognition by external fields. ...

Nano. The brain-machine effort will require nanotechnologies in order to make the required experimental measurements and to implement the devices for both receiving brain electromagnetic signals and transmitting signals back into the brain. ...

Bio. This is a highly biological, neuroscience effort, which requires detailed understanding and measurements of the brain's electromagnetic activity. It requires a significant measurement protocol. ...

Cogno. This effort by its very nature will directly affect the cognitive aspects of the individual by externally applied electromagnetic fields by implanting information for the individual. Thus, this effort can lead to increased learning and other cognitive results.

Like most government reports on subjects involving classified research or weapons, there is seldom hard evidence. Dr. Asher likewise describes future military research with no citations. No further information on Norseen's research has been reported in the news after the 2002 article. The NASA public affairs office has subsequently reported they do not have plans to pursue airport neurosensing technologies and do not have mind reading capabilities. Norseen's research was described as futuristic and promising, according to the US News account. For the research to just disappear after 2002 is an indication that Norseen's mind reading and electromagnetic radiation bioeffects research went 'black' or became classified. In this way, the government keeps national security-related mind control research almost completely out of the public eye.

15. A serious cold war/post cold war problem of excessive secrecy

Understanding how the US secrecy system works is key to understanding the mind control issue. Government secrecy policy is only occasionally in the news and experts across a wide spectrum say there is too much secrecy. The several examples below include, lifelong censorship agreements, government secrecy reforms never adopted, cover stories used by defense contractors and voluntary media censorship of stories with national security implications.

The UPI July 27, 1987 article 'Black budget' thrives under Reagan; Pentagon's secret spending reaches $25 billion, by John Hanrahan reported;

"The General Accounting Office reports that under the Reagan administration 223,855 present and former Defense Department officials with high-level security clearances have signed lifelong censorship agreements to submit for advance review written materials, including speeches, testimony and articles to be published."

Former Senator Daniel Moynihan, chairman of the 1997 Secrecy, Report of the Commission on Protecting and Reducing Government Secrecy conducted a review of US secrecy rules and called for major reforms which were never adopted.

A US News & World Report, March 22, 1993, Keeping research under wraps, by Stephen Budiansky, described cover stories used by contractors.

Aftergood [Federation of American Scientist, Secrecy Bulletin editor] and many other critics -- including H-bomb co-inventor Edward Teller -- are pushing for automatic declassification after a set period of time, a policy introduced by President Nixon but reversed under President Reagan. Another proposal would eliminate special access programs, or at least 'black' programs -- SAPs whose very existence is a secret. (A guide to contractors says that cover stories may be established to hide such programs but cautions that they ''must be believable.)

Intelligence agencies have asked the media to suppress stories, as reported by Jeffrey Richelson in the 2001 book, Wizards of Langley. The book is about the Directorate of Science and Technology at CIA, based on declassified documents. Richelson reported that "in 1972, New York Times investigative reporter Seymour Hersh had learned of the Glomar Explorer's true mission but had agreed to withhold exposing it at the request of DCI [Director of Central Intelligence] William Colby and the cover story had held." It was subsequently reported in a 1975 Los Angeles Times article that the Glomar Explorer was actually excavating a soviet submarine from it's ocean grave.

Richelson explained; "On February 7, 1975, a Los Angeles Times story, ...revealed the project, although the story was pushed onto page eighteen at Colby's request. Similarly, the New York times buried the story on page thirty. Jack Anderson discussed the issue on national television and Colby later wrote, "There was not a chance that we could send the Glomar out again on an intelligence project without risking the lives of our crew and inciting a major national incident."

Jeffrey Richelson's example of withholding a story for national security is not an isolated incident. The May 3, 1992, Washington Post article entitled, Playing I Spy with that Alleged New openness at the CIA, by George Lardner Jr.,

PAO [Public Affairs Office, CIA] now has relationships with reporters from every major wire service, newspaper, news weekly and television network in the nation," the report said. "This has helped us turn some 'intelligence failure' stories into 'intelligence success' stories, and it has contributed to the accuracy of countless others. "In many instances" the report continued "we have persuaded reporters to postpone, change, hold or even scrap stories that could have adversely affected national security interests or jeopardized sources and methods."

These powerful government secrecy tools allow classified mind control programs to be conducted out of the public eye. The classification of electromagnetic weapons for over forty years as discussed in the Council of Foreign Relations reports and other sources illustrates how a cold war/post cold war Manhattan-type program could escape public scrutiny. The 1984 BBC TV documentary with Project Pandora director, Dr. Koslov's denial of nonthermal bioeffects and Dr. Becker's comments on a perfect cover story for a large classified electromagnetic weapons program coupled with the subsequent post cold war government funding of nonthermal bioeffects research completely revealed the government's extensive disinformation efforts, the nonthermal bioeffects cover story. On the issue of mind control, the public can expect little or no information to be available and to be presented with confusing disinformation by government experts and scientists. The public will have the difficult job of determining what is true.

16. Post cold war soviet developments; former Duma member Yuriy Lopatin

No new information has surpassed the work of russian lawyer and Duma member, V.N. Lopatin. Below is a brief summary of his dedicated ten years of russian legislative work on banning mind control weapons. Further information is available at www.mindjustice.org under Russian Translation Project.

For over ten years, V.N. Lopatin has been prominent and influential in the Russian government. He has advocated the banning of Russian mind control weapons and has taken this cause to the UN. Mr. Lopatin has a law degree, was a member of the state Duma of Russia and is currently a Russian government representative to Japan. His 1999 book, Psychotronic Weapons and the Security of Russia includes an outline of the threat of psychotronic weapons and war and the importance of public relations concerning this global threat. Psychotronic weapons include electromagnetic weapons which target the brain and nervous system. He writes of the proposed Russian federal law 'Informational-psychological safety' concerning the protection and defense of rights and lawful interests of citizens and society.

Mr. Lopatin, is mentioned in two unclassified government documents excerpted below, received under a freedom of information act request. A Moscow Russian Public Television program on Oct 6, 1995 entitled Man and Law, Scientists Discuss Mind Control Technology included an interview of Lopatin.

State Duma expert Yuriy Lopatin calling for legislation banning illegal development and sale of mind-control devices.

...A State Duma expert, Yuriy Lopatin says: "Psychotronic Technology is spreading illegally. A law banning the illegal development, production, retailing, and spreading of psychotronic devices which influence the minds and behavior of citizens is badly needed." He goes on to say: "The use of the mass media for psychological experiments should be banned and all the state-ordered research in human genetic experiments should be strictly registered." This was approved by Georgiy Georgiyevich Rogozin, first Deputy Head of the Presidential Security Service.

The following russian article excerpt discusses Lopatin's ten year work to ban mind control weapons. February 11, 2000, Segodnya, The Riders of the "Psychotropic" Apocalypse by Andrei Soldatov;

The Russian deputies intend to discuss the draft law on information security in the country. This decision arose from the fact that the US allegedly created alot of devices, which can destroy information systems in Russia and influence the population.

According to Segodnya, currently the Duma is actively discussing the draft law on the information-psychological security submitted by Vladimir Lopatin. It is possible that the fruit of ten years of work (the works on the draft law began in 1990) will be discussed in the first reading in April.

...Such laws have never been discussed in any country. But this fact does not embarrass the deputies because they discovered that the enemy, which threatens Russia in this sphere, is dreadful and powerful. Secret methods of information-psychological influence can not only harm a person's health, but also lead to "the loss of people's freedom on the unconscious level, the loss of capability of political, cultural and other self-identification, manipulations with social consciousness" and even "the destruction of a common informational and spiritual integrity of the Russian Federation".

This final article describes Lopatin's visit with US Defense Secretary Richard Cheney and Lopatin's press conference at the National Press Club. See also Bulletin of Atomic Scientist, Jan/Feb. 1991 Renegade Russians Grab For Military Control by Jennifer Scheck Lee which reported, "...Yeltsin's September 1990 choice of Lopatin, a former navy officer equivalent to major, to head the republic's new State Committee on Public Security..."

The Xinhua General Overseas News Service;

Xinhua News Agency, October 11, 1990, US defense secretary to visit Moscow

Cheney will stop over in London on his way to Moscow and in Paris on the way back. William's also disclosed today that yesterday, Cheney met with a young soviet military 'reformer', Major Vladimir Lopatin, and had a 'private conversation' with him. He declined to reveal the contents of the conversation. Lopatin, who addressed a press conference at the national press club here today, is in the United States on a visit hosted by 'Global Outlook,' a research institute.

Mr. Lopatin is by far, the most powerful and prominent public figure in the world to advocate a ban on mind control weapons.

17. Post cold war developments; US Foreign Military Studies Office

Mr. Timothy L. Thomas is a military analyst at the US Army, Department of Defense, Foreign Military Studies Office, (FMSO), Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Here is an excerpt from Military Review, September-October 1999, Human Network Attacks by Mr. Timothy L. Thomas, posted on the FMSO website at; http://fmso.leavenworth.army.mil/

China and Russia, in addition to studying hardware technology, data processing equipment, computer networks and 'system of systems' developments, have focused [on] 'new-concept weapons,' such as infrasound weapons, lasers, microwave and particle-beam weapons and incoherent light sources. ...The Chinese military apparently believes these devices will be used in future war since its doctors are investigating treatment for injuries caused by special types of high-tech or new-concept weapons.

In the past half century the potential for working on the consciousness, psyche or morale of a person, society or the composition of an armed force has grown dramatically. One of the main reasons is the considerable success achieved by many countries in their systematic research in the areas of psychology, psychotronics, parapsychology, other new psychophysical phenomenon, bioenergy, biology and psy-choenergy in the fields of security and defense.

...In fact, the information-psychological factor is so important to the Russian military that it considers the information-psychological operation as an independent form of military activity.

Psychotronics is defined as 'an inter-disciplinary area of scientific knowledge, which, mediated by consciousness and by perceptual processes, investigates distant (noncontiguous) interactions among living organisms and the environment. It studies the energy and information phenomena of such interactions.' See V.D. Tsgankov and V.N. Lopatin, Psikhotronnoe Oruzhie i Bezopasnost' Rossii, Moscow 1999.

A psycho-physical (psychotronic) weapon is defined as 'a technically generated means designed to exert an information and/or energy influence on the functions of the human psyche and on the physiological functioning of human organs and systems. It belongs to the category of non-lethal weapons.' See M.I. Abdurakhmanov, V.A. Barishpolets, V.L. Manilov, V.S. Pirumov, Geopolitika I Natsional'naya Bezopasnost', Moscow, 1998

Mr. Thomas' work was cited as an explanation for claims of mind control victims in July/August 1998, Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, All in the (Russian) mind? by Linda Rothstein;

From time to time, the Bulletin gets letters from people claiming to need help because the FBI is controlling their minds through radio waves. Some say their troubles started when they were secretly operated on; others claim that agents inhabit the apartment above, below, or across the street--from which are directed subliminal messages that cause the letter writer much grief.

Mr. Timothy L. Thomas, an analyst at the Foreign Military Studies Office at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, has a term for such assaults on targeted individuals- "psychotronic warfare." And when it comes to developing the tools to succeed in this apparently burgeoning area, he says, the Russians are way ahead. "Information warfare," Thomas explains in the Spring 1998 issue of Parameters, is usually aimed at disrupting modes of communication--telephones, satellites, computers, and so on. But what many US advocates of information warfare have not realized is the importance of targeting the human body, the weakest link in the information chain.

18. Post cold war soviet developments; Darpa reports by Hudson Institute

Mary C. Fitzgerald is a research fellow at Hudson Institute, a Washington based public policy think tank. Her areas of expertise are defense and national security issues, Russian, Eastern European, and Eurasian studies, Russian military and US military. As reported on the Hudson Institute website at http://www.hudson.org/;

Since 1977, Mary C. Fitzgerald has analyzed Soviet/Russian military writings for the DOD [Department of Defense] with a view to defining central concepts in strategy, operational art, and tactics. In addition, she has published the following reports for the US Department of Defense: Russian Views on Electronic and Information Warfare (Volumes I and II), Winter 1996; Russian MOEs for Electronic and Information Warfare, Fall 1997; Impact of the RMA on Russian Military Affairs (Volumes I and II), Spring 1998; and Impact of the RMA on Russian Military Affairs: Addendum, Fall 1998.

Mary Fitzgerald has written an annual report for Darpa (Defense Advanced Research Agency) since 1996 which includes a considerable section on psychotronic weapons. The report is listed above as a US Department of Defense report. Dr. Fitzgerald travels to Russia, attends meetings and conferences with military officials and compiles the annual Darpa report on russian weapons. A freedom of information request to Darpa for the 1997 Darpa report entitled, Russian Views on Electronic and Information Warfare is still pending after almost two years. Many thanks to Tessa Puglia who found an outline of the 1997 report;

Russian Views on Electronic and Information Warfare

September 1997
For official use only
Thesis

Russian military scientists predict that the new RMA will drive future war toward exploitation of new physical principles, info warfare...

Future war will liberate man from the battlefield and be less physically destructive because its main objectives are to affect the opponent's infrastructure and psychology. Victory will go to the side best able to execute the emerging "Sixth Generation" of warfare.

Overview

I. New Physical Principles

Geophysical/ecological weapons
High-frequency radio/electromagnetic wave weapons, infrasonic weapons
Ethnic weapons
Directed-energy weapons
Psychotronic weapons
Plasma weapons
Non-lethal weapons
Cost-effective
Secrecy/surprise...
IV. New Physical Principles

High-frequency wave weapons (infrasonic weapons)

Attack all life-sustaining physiological functions (circulatory and nervous systems, internal organs, etc.)
Alarm, desperation, horror
Mass onset of epilepsy, heart attacks, death
Penetration of concrete, metal structures...
Detect, monitor, protect against bio-emissions
IX. New Physical Principles

Directed, non-contact EM fields in SHF/EHF bands
More dangerous than atomic, etc.
Suppress willpower/impose "criminal will"
Radio waves disrupt brain, central nervous systems
Infrasonic waves = fear, panic, etc.
Directed irradiation = EM fields from electronic equipment
Changes behavior, reactions to events
Disrupts functional systems
Causes morphological changes in cell tissue
Penetrates brick, wood, concrete
X. New Physical Principles

..."Holographic laser"
Radiation generator, receiver, device to transform reflected signals...
Current phase based on artificial intelligence, expert systems, neural networks, transputers using "acquired" knowledge
"Most important objective may be affecting enemy's psychology"

Individual, collective, mass
Direct or indirect
Destroy institutions, create mass disorder, etc.
"Psychological weapons": psychotronic, psychotropic, infrasonic, electromagnetic...
III. Conclusions

New operations: "Supersystems" = jointness

...New Military-Technical Policy: "technological deterrence" = shift from material - to science-intensive
Space-based C3I/EW = "supersystems"
Reliable information on russian mind control weapons is difficult to find. Mr. Lopatin, like Dr. Adey and Dr. Becker, is one of the few who have spoken out. With the breakup of the Soviet Union much more information on russian mind control weapons became available. While the long-term US/Russian interest in the weapons continues, less information is publicly available as seen in the very few military analysts who are writing about China and Russian electromagnetic weapons and mind control. This combination of factors is an indication of the very heavy classification and importance of the weapons.

19. Final analysis; how advanced are US/Russian mind control weapons?

The seriousness of the issue of mind control becomes apparent in the comparison to the atomic bomb. The atomic bomb was public information almost from the start. Nuclear protesters and the general public could express their views on the atomic bomb, international arms control treaties are in place. Mind control and electromagnetic weapons have been heavily classified for over forty years and never publicly used, while being described as powerful as the atomic bomb by many experts. The classified electromagnetic weapons are completely lacking in any evaluation by human rights groups for international treaty compliance and lack any public input or scrutiny.

Advances in neuroscience

The US government today is very interested in decoding the brain, as seen in the proposed human cognome project and funding of neuroscience research for military purposes described in the three new government programs. Government funding and interest in neuroscience and weapons which target the brain and nervous system began during the cold war. After the break up of the Soviet Union, nonthermal bioeffects research funding has expanded significantly and now many of the 2004 government reports strongly recommends and/or is funding further research, in large part for military purposes.

For decades, few breakthroughs for electromagnetic weapons or mind control have been reported and promising research seems to go 'black'. Accidental rare glimpses of classified mind control research have occurred, such as the scandal of 1950s and 60s CIA Mkultra mind control programs exposed in 1970s congressional hearings. The CIA mind control programs have continued in another 1970s supersecret program, according to the Washington Post. One can conclude that Mkultra was successful since experiments continued, despite CIA's half truths that MKultra had ended.

The 1970s Darpa's Richard Cesaro's public claims of success with microwave radiation mind control on monkeys for Project Pandora were never followed up and contradicted the Project Pandora official findings of no nonthermal bioeffects. Lockheed Martin's John Norseen and his 1990s electromagnetic brain signals demonstrations for airport terrorist mind-reading with no follow up research by NASA also illustrate how successful mind control research for national security is moving into classified or 'black' government programs. This long-term government involvement and mind control research going 'black' points to an extensive mind control program, and indicates mind control is one of the deepest secrets of the nation.

Nonthermal bioeffects controversy

Dr. Robert Becker and Dr. Ross Adey's careers in bioelectromagnetism have been exemplary. At a time when few challenged government policies on nonthermal effects of electromagnetic radiation, they publicly spoke out over the years. Dr. Becker lost government funding as a result, while Dr. Adey conducted classified electromagnetic mind control government research. Dr. Becker's books document the long history of the nonthermal bioeffects controversy. Dr. Adey's congressional speech, papers, books and public comments directly challenged military and corporate interests so that a factual record is available.

Avoiding lawsuits would not explain the manner and extent that the US government denied nonthermal effects during the cold war as explained by Dr. Becker and Dr. Adey, especially given the post cold war expansion of development of US weapons based on nonthermal effects. Dr. Becker was right, the denial of nonthermal bioeffects was a perfect cover story for a large, classified electromagnetic weapons program as seen in post cold war government documents. Dr. Adey's question, "How stupid does the US Air Force think the public is?" illustrates how effective the government's suppression of information is. Most people have never heard of the nonthermal bioeffects controversy or that it was a cover story for cold war classified electromagnetic weapons programs.

This post cold war government record clearly illustrates that the nonthermal bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation are the nexus between electromagnetic weapons and some government neuroscience research. The research programs were interconnected throughout the cold war as a result of nonthermal bioeffects; the basis for some electromagnetic radiation neuroscience research and electromagnetic weapons. Now post cold war analysis gives new meaning to the cold war historical record, that mind control and nonthermal bioeffects weapons research were and are extremely important to national security. New neuroscience research is funded in 'Apollo-like' programs by the military, also indicating just how consequential neuroscience breakthroughs are to national security.

Russian mind control

Like Dr. Becker, the former russian Duma member, V.N. Lopatin warned the public about new weapons in his 1999 book. The very few advocates for control of the new weapons and the very few unclassified sources of information on russian mind control weapons, such as the US Foreign Military Studies Office articles and the Hudson Institute reports for Darpa, (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), is another in a list of indications that mind control is a substantial national security issue.

With a closer look and new post cold war russian information, evidence of a mind control arms race emerges. The historical evidence of the long-term russian interest in electromagnetic weapons as seen in 1970s UN documents and the long history of the nonthermal bioeffects controversy, a prominent russian spokesman proposing legislation to ban russian mind control weapons and the post cold war russian interest in mind control weapons, all surrounded by much secrecy, is considerable evidence of major mind control weapons programs in both Russia and the US. The long-term demonstrated importance of mind control to national security indicates a continuing cold war/post cold war mind control arms race.

Government secrecy

Most people are unaware of the extent of government secrecy. Any research related to mind control and electromagnetic weapons or technologies has been promptly classified and has resulted in a lack of publicly available and reliable information on the issue. In fact, government disinformation is created by government control of research funding, influencing of media information and scientists' use of cover stories for national security issues. Two of the same examples illustrating mind control programs that went 'black' are also illustrative of government disinformation surrounding mind control. The CIA's half-truth about the Mkultra research stopping when in fact it was transferred to a supersecret research project is a clear example of government lying and misinformation. The government's cover story and denial of nonthermal bioeffects for fifty years and Project Pandora's official findings of no nonthermal bioeffects, in light of post cold war government funding of nonthermal bioeffects is clear evidence of government disinformation and also devastating to fifty years of scientific research of public health effects caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields, as few of the epidemiology studies needed have been undertaken.

The public is left to ponder a complex and controversial issue with little hard evidence. And further, there obviously can be no public trust in government concerning mind control when scientists and government officials are on the record for repeatedly using cover stories, lying about mind control research and suppressing unclassified nonthermal bioeffects and mind control research while heavily funding similar classified research.

The goal of the government secrecy system is to keep weapons program and capabilities, plausibly deniable and out of the public's view. With prolonged and extensive US government efforts, that goal has clearly been met for mind control and electromagnetic weapons. Today, the alleged government cover story is that victims are simply mentally ill and there is no need to investigate further. Mainstream press repeatedly dismiss the claims as conspiracy theories. Everyone can agree national security is vital but excessive secrecy that allows MKultra mind control experiments, radiation experiments and now allegations of illegal government mind control experiments without further investigation is especially egregious.

20. Conclusion

Are nonlethal electromagnetic weapons fully developed mind control weapons? Most people do not believe the US and Russian governments have weapons that can remotely target a person anywhere in the world, read their thoughts, beam messages to their brain, control every nerve in the body and cause great pain. But most people are unaware of new post cold war government funding of mind control programs, the long US/Russian cold war/post cold war history of nonthermal bioeffects weapons and neuroscience developments, and government secrecy surrounding mind control research; information essential in the evaluation of allegations of illegal government mind control experiments. The numerous facts over an extensive time period add up to an emerging picture. The information presented here does provide direct evidence of the development of classified weapons to target the brain and body by major nations, but to what extent is not publicly known.

While there is no direct proof, it is likely that mind control weapons are highly advanced. There is evidence to support the cold war development of a group of electromagnetic mind control weapons more powerful than the atomic bomb but details are scarce. A Manhattan-type program is no longer science fiction according to scientists who authored the NSF's 2002 Converging Technologies report; "With the convergence of new science technologies, science would become ready to succeed in a rapid program to understand the structure and functions of the human mind, The Human Cognome Project." (underline added.) At the least, post cold war programs are expanding, therefore advanced mind control weapons seem certain in the near future.

21. Mind Justice's position

Mind Justice has gathered victim allegations and evidence that nonthermal bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation and government mind control research have been developed and are being tested on citizens around the world without their consent. Over 2,000 alleged victims from around the world have contacted Mind Justice since 1996. The information in this paper refutes the cover story of mental illness and conspiracy and a thorough, impartial investigation is warranted.

A brief summary;

over forty years of classified cold war electromagnetic weapons research in Russia and the US, with experts citing excessive secrecy surrounding the weapons,

the long cold war/post cold war history of nonthermal bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation in Russia/US, as a US cold war cover story and a post cold war about-face of US scientific policy for nonthermal bioeffects,

nonthermal bioeffects of radiation is the scientific basis for developing a group of weapons more powerful than the atomic bomb, experts say,

new neuroscience research and electromagnetic weapons funding by the US government after the break up of the Soviet Union,

only a handful of advocates who have spoken out about classified government electromagnetic weapons development in US and Russia,

the national security motive and extreme measures used to protect the US,

billions of national defense dollars available for weapons involving national security,

an all-encompassing government secrecy system, control of scientific research funding, control of flow of media information, cover stories/disinformation by scientists and government officials,

history has shown that national security and federal law favors weapons development with a total disregard for human subjects of classified experiments,

the history of CIA mind control and wide-scale government radiation experiments went unpunished and no new protections for human subjects of secret experiments were passed after the 1990s expose of radiation experiments related to the development of the atomic bomb,

the allegations of mind control experiments is growing worldwide, the alleged cluster of symptoms matches the capabilities of neuroscience and weapons research; numerous experts are calling for an investigation,

the advanced mind control technology is way beyond the resources of a person to document, both technically and financially and while a few victims have detected signals and some have documented evidence there is no evidence tied to the government perpetrators and,

inadequate government whistleblower laws are now in place so that government abuse is highly unlikely to be exposed, according to Government Accountability Project, www.whistleblower.org.

22. A successful model for overcoming excessive government secrecy

As described in the 2001 book, Secrecy Wars by Professor Philip H. Melanson, the model of the Assassination Records Review Board was a "highly successful and novel experiment in public disclosure". A citizen panel appointed by the president was given full legal access to all agency records relating to the assassination of President Kennedy and 4.5 million documents were released. Professor Melanson recommends this model for areas in which;

There is a historic, long-running subject encompassing both old and new records over a period of many years or decades.
The topic is politically sensitive or contentious.
There is a large volume of records.
The regular disclosure process is not working, in terms of timeframe, reasonable release, or both(that is, too slow, too much secrecy).
Professor Melanson stated that this model could include the radiation exposure of US troops during atomic testing and experimental testing of unwitting human subjects by US military and intelligence agencies. His book describes the process in detail, including that the boards should have a fixed, four-year term and need a staff component of lawyers who are expert regarding disclosure laws and the secrecy system. Professor Melanson's model is tailor-made for an investigation of alleged illegal government mind control experiments.

マインドコントロールの実行者の精神そのものが崩壊してしまっている。非人間的なことを行っている者が、その精神の健全性を維持することは不可能ではないか。しかも、人に隠れてコソコソとやっているのだ。もしも、自分達のやっていることに正当な理由があると信じているのなら、正々堂々と公表すればよい。それができないのは、やはり心の中で後ろめたさがあるのだろう。他人の人格を踏みにじり、他人の人生を台無しにしてしまっているという後ろめたさは、無理に否定しようにも否定できはしない。これは殺人に匹敵する。人を傷つけたり殺したりすれば、当然罪責の感情を持つことになる。これは、人類の長い歴史において、次第に人類の心の中で形成されてきたものなのだろう。人を傷つけておきながら、平気でいる者がいたとすれば、そしてそのような者が増えていけば、人類自身の生存・安全が危うくなるのだ。したがって、人を傷つければ、傷つけた者自身も心に大きな痛手をこうむることになる。罪責感は、人間に普遍的なものだ。一見、良心がないように見える者もいるかもしれないが、それは良心が無意識に沈んでいるからにすぎないだろう。つまり、表向きは良心がなくなっているかのように見えるだけである。そのような無意識的な良心は、かえって当人に測りしれない大きな影響を及ぼす。本人が気づかぬうちに、あらゆる幸福から遠ざけられていく。本人がそれと自覚できないながら、精神がすさんでいく。マインドコントロールの実行者たちは、まさにこのような道をたどっているのではないか。精神が崩れている者が、他人の人格・精神をもてあそぶ。これは、一体どういうことだろうか。

加害者の最大の精神的弱みは、悪事をコソコソと行っていて自分たちがやっていることを堂々と世間に向かって公表できないということです。眠れない夜もあるのでしょう。眠りに落ちたとしても恐ろしい悪夢で夜中に目が覚めてしまうのでしょう。奴ら加害者の目的が何なのか、判然としない面もありますが、加害者が世間に隠れて非人間的なことを行うことによって、加害者自身が人間の社会でまともに生きていくことができない精神的な破綻者への道をまっしぐらに突き進んでいるのです。人はその行いによって形作られていく面もあります。非人間的な行為をいつも行っている者は、人間性が次第に失われていきます。人間ではなくなっていきます。コソコソと人に隠れて悪事を働いているものが精神的健康を維持することは不可能です。遅かれ早かれ、その代償は加害者自身が払わなければなりません。精神異常者への最短距離にいるのはこの加害者の連中です。
