I especially enjoyed the part when Begich conned Ventura into believing that he was beaming music directly to his brain with radio waves.
I guess Jesse has never hear of bone conduction headphones. He certainly has the head for it.
Experimental and theoretical studies have shown that the microwave auditory phenomenon does not arise from an interaction of microwave pulses directly with the auditory nerves or neurons along the auditory neurophysiological pathways of the central nervous system. Instead, the microwave pulse, upon absorption by soft tissues in the head, launches a thermoelastic wave of acoustic pressure that travels by bone conduction to the inner ear.

Don't ask, answer or relate to things that should be left alone.
How about when things that should be left alone, are not being left alone?
It seems that warning others would be the responsible thing to do.

In this "hypothetical scenario" the "others" are us right?
What help would be gained from "warning others"?
Research is being done. For the eventual benefit of the masses.
Sacrifice the few, for the benefit of the many.

I sure hope your right, there is proper oversight involved, and this tech isn't being abused, because it's ripe for it.
Considering that the government tends to research weapons of war before anything else, and has a tendency to favor their own interests, and conservation of power, over the interests of Americans, I'm not as confident as you are that everything is being done for the eventual benefit of the masses.
Do you have any supporting evidence for this "eventual benefit of the masses" theory of yours, or should we just hold our breath?

It informs them for starters. A person who is informed about this technology likely has better chance of survival, if they are ever targeted by this and other technologies. They will also likely be less likely to harm themselves or others.
Informing the population could spark demand for greater oversight and help expose existing abuses.
Informing the general populace about military capability and intent is generally a bad thing.

I can't help but think that a slow, soft leak, about mind control tech is in everyone's best interest at this point
To what purpose? What can the average person at home do about this? Having knowledge of this will only cause panic and discord.

I could say that the average person, wouldn't care or have much time to even pay attention to this information, let alone to do any additional research on their own. Some won't believe it and some won't be able to accept it. A lot of this information is already out there and is being ignored.
This much is true. People are engaged in their own lives and don't much care for what's happening around them.
People that care to be informed, should be informed. It's the above average people that can benefit the most from this information, and they are the ones who are most likely to help steer things in positive directions and help others. We have to be given the full and honest truth though, it does us no benefit if the information can't be trusted or verified.
Agreed. The problem here is in choosing/determining who is "above average". Who makes that determination?
I see your point with some regards though. Apparently this tech can also stimulate pleasure centers in the brain, which can become addicting. And of course, powerful tools can to great good or harm, so they should be handled with great care and responsibility. We don't want just anyone running around and using this technology, I don't even like the fact that the government could be using it.
Not sure what this is in reference to? Kindly elaborate please?
Where are you located, if you don't mind me asking?
I don't mind at all. I am currently in Sweden, though I am not native to this country.
