Defending Freedom of Consciousness

The CIA launched Project BLUEBIRD to study mind control and interrogation techniques, later renamed Project ARTICHOKE in 1951 with an expanded focus on inducing involuntary actions, including assassination attempts... MKULTRA began not long after in 1953.

DARPA initiated Project Pandora to investigate the effects of low-level microwaves on human behavior, spurred by concerns over Soviet microwave exposure at the U.S. embassy in Moscow. Experiments on monkeys and unwitting human subjects aimed to determine if microwaves could induce psychological changes or enable mind control. While results were officially deemed inconclusive, the project established foundational understanding of electromagnetic interactions with neural activity.

On July 16, a patent (US 3393279) was published for technology capable of remotely causing an individual to hear voices via electromagnetic waves imperceptible to anyone else. Later that year on August 29, another patent (US 3566347 A) was filed for a system producing aural psychological disturbances and partial deafness in targeted individuals, representing significant advances in directed sound technology.

March 7, 1972 saw the publication of a patent (US 3647970 A) for remotely causing individuals to hear voices via electromagnetic waves. By August 5, 1974, technology had advanced to the filing of a patent (US 3951134) for an apparatus capable of remotely monitoring and altering a target's brain waves and central nervous system, demonstrating rapid technological progression in neural interference capabilities.

The Church Commission and Rockefeller Commission investigations brought MKUltra to public attention, revealing the extent of CIA mind control experiments. It was revealed that the operation had been going on since 1953 and began in response to alleged Soviet, Chinese, and North Korean mind control techniques used on U.S. prisoners of war. It encompassed over 150 subprojects testing LSD, electroshocks, sexual abuse, and torture on unwitting subjects, including U.S. citizens. The program's scope and ethical violations are still not fully known due to destroyed documents and represent a watershed moment in the history of neuropsychological experimentation.

US Patent 4,345,220A is granted to the United States Air Force. Filed on February 12, 1980, by inventor Donald J. Sullivan, this patent details a high power microwave generator that utilizes a relativistic electron beam in a waveguide drift tube to generate coherent microwave radiation. This Air Force-developed technology represents early directed energy weapon research and relates to later developments in microwave weapons systems.

This period saw an explosion of patents related to neurological manipulation, including technologies for controlling mental states via subliminal messaging (US 4395600 A, 1983), transmitting sound directly to the auditory cortex via microwave signals (US 4858612 A, 1989), and inducing specific emotional states through remote electromagnetic fields (US 5123899 A, 1991). This technological acceleration suggests continued research and development in neuropsychological influence capabilities.

December 13, 1996 marked the filing of a patent (US 6470214 B1) for remotely transmitting intelligible subjective sound into target consciousness, commonly known as "Voice to Skull" technology. This was followed by patents for controlling emotional states via remote EMFs (US 6017302 A, 1997) and for pulsative manipulation of the central nervous system (US 6091994 A, 1998), representing significant advances in directed neurological influence capabilities.

On June 27, a patent (US 6081744 A) for manipulating the nervous system through remotely applied electric fields was published. By September, another patent (US 6490480 B1) was filed for monitoring neurological conditions via EMFs remotely aimed at the skin, demonstrating continued advancement in both monitoring and manipulation capabilities with increasing sophistication and precision.

Reports of mysterious neurological symptoms affecting U.S. diplomats and intelligence officers worldwide, suggesting the continued development and deployment of neuropsychological warfare technologies.
