Defending Freedom of Consciousness

Project Bluebird is formally approved by CIA Director, marking the agency's first systematic venture into mind control research. The project aimed to develop "highly qualified and technical personnel to perform all aspects of interrogation for all areas of the Agency"

Successor to Bluebird, Project Artichoke launched on August 20, 1951, with a focus on inducing involuntary actions. The program's primary goal was determining "whether a person could be involuntarily made to perform an act of attempted assassination". Methods included LSD, cocaine, heroin, hypnosis,sensory deprivation, and prolonged isolation as tools of psychological manipulation, with one CIA agent kept on LSD for 77 days

Project MKUltra begins under CIA Director Allen Dulles and is headed by Sidney Gottlieb. This becomes the most extensive mind control research program in history, encompassing over 150 subprojects. Operation Midnight Climax was a sub-project where the CIA employed prostitutes to lure unwitting subjects who were then dosed with LSD and monitored behind a one-way mirror.

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, 1968, patent US3393279A was published for Patrick Flanagan's "Nervous system excitation device," filed March 13, 1966. This was followed by Andrew E. Flanders' patent US3566347A for a "Psycho-acoustic projector," filed August 29, 1968 and published March 2, 1971. The latter patent described a system for "producing aural psychological disturbances and partial deafness of the enemy during combat situations" using high directional acoustic beams modulated by noise, code, or speech signals.

February 23, 1972 saw the publication of Robert J. Anderson's patent US3647970A for a "Method and system for simplifying speech waveforms," filed March 7, 1970, which converted speech to constant amplitude square waves for secure transmission. More significantly, April 20, 1976 marked the publication of Robert G. Malech's patent US3951134A for "Apparatus and method for remotely monitoring and altering brain waves," filed August 5, 1974. This patent described technology capable of sensing brain waves remotely using electromagnetic interference patterns and transmitting compensating signals back to the brain to effect desired changes in electrical activity.

The Church Commission and Rockefeller Commission investigations brought MKUltra as well as the FBI's COINTELPRO (government gangstalking program that targeted MLK and other civil rights leaders) 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.
