"We need a program of psychosurgery and political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated. "The individual may think that the most important reality is his own existence, but this is only his personal point of view. This lacks historical perspective. "Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. We must electrically control the brain. Some day armies and generals will be controlled by electrical stimulation of the brain."
Th€ phenomenon is tunable in that the characteristic sounds and intansities ofthose sounds depend on the characteristics ofthe RF energy as delivered. Because the ftequency ofthe sound heard is dep€ndent on the pulse chamcteristics ofthe RF energy, it seems possible that this technology could be developed to the point where words could be hansmitted to be heard like the spoken wod, excepthat it could only bo heard within a person's head. In one experiment, communication ofthe words from one to ten using "speech modulated" microwave energy was successfully demonstrated. Microphones next to the p€rson experiencing the voice could not pick up the sound. Additional develonncnt ofthis would open up a wide range ofpossibilities.
Microwave hearing is a phenomenon, descdbed by human observem. as. the sensations of buzzing, ticking, hissing, or knocking sounds that originate within or imrnediately behind the head. There is no sound propagatilg through the air like nomal sound. This technology in its crudes! form could be used to distract ildividuals: ifrefined. it could also be used to communicate with hostages or hostage takeN directly by Morse code or other message systems, possibly €ven by voiae commudcation
The objectives for neuroweapons in a traditional defense context (e.g., combat) may be achieved by altering (i.e., either augmenting or degrading) functions of the nervous system, so as to affect cognitive, emotional and/or motor activity and capability (e.g., perception, judgment, morale, pain tolerance, or physical abilities and stamina). Many technologies (e.g., neurotropic drugs; interventional neurostimulatory devices) can be employed to produce these effects
Evidently, these considerations prompt ethical and legal concerns that must be addressed – and resolved – through the formulation of guidelines and policies. A complete discussion of the ethico-legal and social issues arising from the use of neuroscience and technology in national security and defense agendas is beyond the scope of this essay (for a more detailed review of this topic, see the American Journal of Bioethics-Neuroscience, April-June 2010, volume 1, number 2). Suffice it to state that any and all use of neuroscience and neurotechnology in this regard mandates rigorous ethical analysis and discourse that is inclusive of the research, academic, political and public communities.

It's horrid...
Mysterious "sonic weapons" have been blamed for symptoms affecting American and Canadian diplomats in Cuba.Victims reported hearing loss, mild traumatic brain injury, nervous system damage, and balance issues.Sound-based weapons exist, but experts aren't sure whether any were actually used in this case.
More than 10 US diplomats and their family members in Cuba have experienced strange symptoms including hearing loss, mild traumatic brain injury, and central nervous system damage after being exposed to some kind of mysterious sonic weapon, according to a review of medical records by CBS News.
The Associated Press reported: "After months of investigation, U.S. officials concluded that the diplomats had been exposed to an advanced device that operated outside the range of audible sound and had been deployed either inside or outside their residences. It was not immediately clear if the device was a weapon used in a deliberate attack, or had some other purpose."
But a number of experts aren't sure whether such a device exists.
Seth Horowitz, a neuroscientist and author of the book "The Universal Sense: How Hearing Shapes the Mind," told Business Insider via email.
Horowitz explained that no known inaudible - and seemingly undetectable - device could have the properties attributed to these strange sonic weapons.

People liking vegimite is proof these weapons exist!

I actually want to try this concoction...mkultra or not. It sounds so intriguing, and every other American I know who has tried it hates it...but they can't describe the flavor other than its nasty.

Oh no!
I've definitely been zapped with some waves, then, cos I love Vegemite .... And Marmite, as us Brits call it.
Better get a new roll of tin foil!

Is this like when the yanks stole our vegimite (although never met a yank to like it) from us (sold under Kraft)...... then to only send (sell) it back to us years later.....
It's different now, has a slight 'twang' that it never use too, plus it gets you high, higher than it used too.
There's Neuroweapons right there......
Hmm, there has been a Stroke epidemic here in Australia as of late.
