Grand château de carabiniers de Rosario Titre de chef d'état-major mixte Institut (t. ISSMI) et ses réflexions sur l'utilisation des armes non létales (létale)

1. introduction

Lorsque deux mille ans, Sun Tzu, ont déclaré que pour anéantir l'ennemi n'était pas nécessaires de le détruire physiquement, mais en anéantir la volonté de gagner, peut-être même pas imaginé la possibilité d'utiliser une arme non létale. Le fait est qu'aujourd'hui, avec la mise en place progressive des opérations autres que la guerre (opérations militaires autres que la guerre) comme moyen de résolution des crises internationales, l'utilisation d'armes létales dites est d'avoir un moment de réflexion. Il est entendu que, pour atteindre l'objectif juste convaincre l'autre partie aille plier sans nécessairement détruire ses forces, à l'aide des méthodes diplomatiques ou des armes non létales ou invalidantes (létales) et la nécessité pour les chefs militaires et responsables pour faire avancer ce genre d'armes non létales dites provient essentiellement de deux facteurs: -l'absence de l'opinion publique internationale, qui contribue à la « Guerre de Cnn », à tolérer les victimes à la fois chez les hommes de leurs contingents et entre civils de la population locale ; -la nécessité de résoudre le dilemme de choisir entre l'utilisation de la force armée et l'inaction face à une menace, le dilemme dans lequel ils se sentent plus en plus pris au piège des militaires des armées occidentales modernes au cours des missions de maintien de la paix internationale, freinées, entre autres, par les règles d'engagement extrêmement restrictives. À ce stade, les questions se posent : quelle est la valeur technologique de ces instruments . Quels sont les avantages et les inconvénients liés à leur utilisation ? Quel est l'impact de ces ressources sur la tâche de planification pour une opération de paix (PSO) ? Dans les paragraphes qui suivent, les arguments sont recueillies en réponse à ces questions, afin de fournir une vue d'ensemble du sujet avec une référence particulière à l'OSP (Peace Support Opérations) et à la protection de l'ordre public.

2. Non-léthales armes :

la technique, l'applicabilité, les avantages et les inconvénients avant de plonger dans la discussion, il est jugé approprié de donner une définition d'arme non létale ».La meilleure façon est d'utiliser une approche fonctionnelle, en identifiant notamment le caractère définitif. Ces armes sont celles explicitement conçues et utilisées dans le but primaire de désactiver les gens, les moyens et les matériaux, faisant au moins une chance de leur causer des dommages. Ce qui importe, en d'autres termes, vous réduisez les dégâts infligés à la partie adverse, tout en atteignant des objectifs militaires et politiques. À cet effet, il existe ce que nombreuses définitions ont été formulées. Considérant leur importance presque égale, ne mentionne pas un en particulier, mais toutes ces collections seront présentées (voir annexe A). Pour être complet, il estime utiles de mentionner qu'aussi le débat a surgi entre les partisans de la terminologie « létal weapon » et pas ceux en faveur de l'expression "moins de létal weapon". Les arguments en faveur de tous les deux de l'autre thèse conduiraient loin. Par souci de concision, nous supposons pour faire face à des armes non létales par le terme « neutraliser les armes ». Ce qu'on croit que l'adjectif se trouve est ce que la plupart des autres expriment de manière efficace l'usage de ces armes, temps d'empêcher le bon fonctionnement des médias et la mobilité des hommes, en limitant au maximum, sans pour autant exclure deux dommages collatéraux ; le terme apparaît également totalement inapte encombré par une fausse idée de « bonnes armes » en mesure d'éviter toujours et en vertu de toute effusion de sang inutile de conditions et de la destruction.

a.Technologie.

Investissements dans le domaine de la recherche et de développement technologique, mis en œuvre principalement par les pays de l'OTAN au cours de la période de la guerre froide, ont produit des résultats significatifs qui, aujourd'hui, peuvent être exploités industriellement, tant sur le plan technologique pour la désactivation des armes. Les techniques utilisées sont essentiellement basées sur l'électronique/optoélectronique, chimique ou biologique, acoustique, mécanique et médicale. La maturité de ces disciplines est capable de produire une grande variété de produits qui donnent lieu à des effets neutralisants contre des ressources, des personnes et des matières. Pour ce qui précède, désactivation des armes peut être divisée en cinq zones principales technologies : zone de - opto - électronique : cette catégorie comprend les lasers multi spectrales de fumée, faible consommation d'énergie, des impulsions électromagnétiques non nucléaires provoquent la modification des circuits logiques et le contenu de la mémoire de l'ordinateur. Concernant le débat d'armes laser aveuglantes s'ils peuvent être considérés comme des armes non létales, car on prétend qu'ils ont de fortes chances d'infliger des dommages permanents particulièrement inhumaines. -zone acoustique : cette catégorie comprend les générateurs ultrasoniques, c'est-à-dire doux sons fréquence que si dirigée contre une personne cause désorientation, le vomissement, l'etc. ; -domaine chimique et bactériologique : il s'agit d'une catégorie très vaste qui comprend les agents sédatifs, des agents biologiques et antiadhérents supercolle. Il y a les mousses, le Super-Caustici et la modification des techniques de combustion. Paradoxalement, bien que conçut pour réduire les souffrances et le nombre de décès, plusieurs de ces techniques sont susceptibles de tomber dans les catégories qui sont interdites par la Convention sur l'interdiction des armes chimiques ou pour l'interdiction des armes bactériologiques; par exemple, l'utilisation de supercolle, qui ont été fournies aux troupes américaines en Somalie, pourrait être limitée, car l'un de leurs produits chimiques serait interdits de certains accords internationaux pour la protection de l'environnement ratifiés par les États-Unis ; -informatique : virus informatiques sont le seul type de désactivation d'arme qui tombe dans cette catégorie et qui visent à endommager définitivement ou temporairement pour un système informatique. Ils sont extrêmement efficaces comme s'unissent pour une capacité de pénétration élevée et les réseaux dans les systèmes de l'adversaire, un haut degré d'anonymat ; en d'autres termes, il est difficile d'attribuer la responsabilité de cet attentat, parce que pour reprendre à voir un seul hacher, une organisation ou un État ; -Zone kinetic : cette catégorie comprend l'ensemble de la désactivation des techniques basés sur l'énergie cinétique (l'impact). Les exemples incluent les balles en caoutchouc (balle en caoutchouc) ou bois, les canons à eau (Canon à eau), grenades du type spongieux, lancé par des lance-grenades classiques et formé d'une balle en plastique à haute densité, qui est le matériau spongieux capable d'amortir le choc. Malgré n'étant pas ne par un secteur de haute technologie, ont eu beaucoup d'applications et développements dans ce domaine, bien que l'expérience montre malheureusement que ces techniques ne restent pas toujours sous le seuil létal (l'un des facteurs de risque plus importants pour la distance de l'individu touché par ceux qui tirent).

b. Applicabilité.

Dans la conduite des impératifs politiques, PSO qui sont dominants, et qui doivent traduire dans les cibles militaires cohérentes, les deux planifications et influer sur le déroulement de ces opérations. Cela est démontré par le fait que, dans telles tactiques d'opérations des événements importants, tels que le meurtre accidentel de civils, peut remettre en cause la poursuite de la mission. Que les de pourquoi vous vous sentez un fort besoin de développer et puis employer, une catégorie d'armes capables d'action dissuasives, évitant le recours à l'utilisation de systèmes d'armes traditionnelles réputées, à l'occasion, non-membres afin que la létalité et impact psychologique. En plus d'assurer la sécurité de ses hommes besoin d'une doctrine et technologies extrêmement flexibles. En ce sens les armes neutralisantes peuvent avoir un rôle fondamental en se faisant une « réponse graduée » comme pour répondre au besoin de l'intervention armée de la dose et ont un moyen de dissuasion souple capable de prévenir la menace vous jetez directement à l'usage de la force meurtrière. L'un des principaux problèmes opérationnels, comme chacun sait, est apparu dans le cadre du PSO, est de prendre le contrôle des manifestations plus ou moins spontanées, dans lequel des civils non armés, armés des éléments s'entremêlent et fauteurs de troubles (ce qu'on appelle « crows contrôle » et « anti-émeute »).

c. Inconvénients et avantages.

Les avantages et les inconvénients de l'utilisation d'incapacitant amour sont nombreux. Dans le présent travail a été limité à citer que ceux jugés plus adhérents aux fins de l'étude en question. (1) les prestations. L'utilisation de neutraliser les armes, dans le cadre de la gamme des utilisations possibles, peut: permettre le respect du principe de proportionnalité et de Conventions juridiques internationales (voir l'annexe B) tant du point de vue humanitaire, depuis les deux socioculturels ; permettre, en particulier dans les conflits de faible intensité, à désarmer, de frustrer, de retarder ou d'empêcher la mobilisation où des actes hostiles de l'adversaire, ce qui rend disponible plus de temps pour les actions diplomatiques ou le déploiement de renforts amis et alliés ; permettre des attaques très sélectives contre les objectifs fixés à proximité d'importants produits non militaires (symboles culturels, religieux et historiens) qui ne doivent pas être endommagés de quelque façon ; accroître la crédibilité des forces de maintien de la paix fournissant des commandants militaires davantage d'options pour la gradation de la réponse sous le seuil de détermination de la létalité ; permettre les soldats ne pas apparaître comme une force d'occupation qui contribue à l'image positive de leur pays et/ou de la coalition internationale envers la population locale, les factions adverses et les opérateurs de l'information ; renforcer la dissuasion, rendant l'adversaire conscient que nos forces militaires peuvent intervenir rapidement et efficacement pour atteindre les objectifs humanitaires ou autres, sans les coûts politiques, Militaires et prohibitifs économiques ; être, généralement, nettement moins cher que des armes létales, due principalement à abaisser les coûts de développement, de production, de logistique et de l'utilisation opérationnelle ; susciter des réactions positives de l'environnement politique, à l'échelle nationale et internationale et de l'opinion publique, en conséquence de moins susceptibles de subir des pertes et dommages aux personnes, les biens ou l'environnement ; pour cela, nous ajoutons le coût mineur de reconstruction d'après-guerre. (2) inconvénients. Les armes non létales: impliquer le danger de prolifération à sa diffusion comme un outil très efficace pour une utilisation interne par les gouvernements ou un moyen pour des activités criminelles ; comporte le risque de provoquer une escalade de la réaction de l'adversaire contre les dégâts modestes et la nuisance de porté de neutraliser les armes ; nécessite une approche doctrinaire et opérationnelle à nouveau dans l'usage de la force ; exiger une formation adéquate pour être correctement et efficacement utilisés seuls ou en combinaison avec des armes mortelles ; exiger l'évaluation de l'impact psychologique et la moralité de leur utilisation comme armes neutralisantes peuvent s'avérer plus « détestable » représailles ou une décimation (pensez par exemple à briser un tympan, en raison de l'utilisation d'armes non létales, qui pourrait être mortel dans un pays tiers) ; nécessitent, en général, des renseignements plus précis, comme bien que plus proche de coordination, de commandement et de contrôle ; respecter les traités et normes nationales et internationales et leur utilisation pourraient ouvrir de toute une série de questions juridiques nouvelles ; pourrait être perçue comme armes de peu d'effet, sauf si elles ont été explicitement et immédiatement efficaces, ou comme une forme de faiblesse, car il ne détruit pas l'adversaire, mais réduire la volonté et la capacité de combat et de la cohésion ; pourrait conduire à la capture de nombreux prisonniers, s'ils sont largement utilisés non seulement dans l'objet PSO mais aussi au sein des conflits conventionnels.

3. l'effet médiatique

Sur la base d'une plus forte ont besoin de notre société, où chaque événement est présenté dans les maisons des citoyens de sens réel, il devient plus en plus difficile pour une armée de soutien des opinions publiques nationale face à la mort ou des blessures, même accidentelle, des innocents. Sans ce soutien, les résultats de la mission, indépendamment du succès militaire, sont en danger. C'est pourquoi les armes sélectives et limitées, le degré de létalité puissent certainement permettre de réduire ce risque très grave en aidant à gagner ceux qui maintenant constituent une dimension fondamentale de toute opération militaire : l'effet CNN. L'effet psychologique est correctement matières utilisables sur une grande échelle de ces nouvelles armes pourrait, par conséquent, être important en taille, surtout si placé à l'intérieur de deux étapes essentielles d'un objet PSO : consensus et la proportionnalité de l'emploi de la force.

4. les possibilités d'utilisation d'armes non létales dans des opérations d'ordre public

La dégénérescence des affrontements de piazza dans des manifestations de toutes sortes d'occasions a mis en évidence les limites d'application de la loi dans la gestion de grands groupes de manifestants violents avec des instruments classiques fournis à la police, n'est plus en mesure de répondre aux exigences modernes de politiques publiques qui reposent sur la nécessité d'éviter la confrontation et d'endommager le moins possible aux gens des outils en identifiant et en isolant les fauteurs de troubles. Même en Italie, les policiers ont traité, dans certains cas, intenses affrontements semblables à ceux qui déjà ont touché des autorités policières aux États-Unis (révolte des quartiers entiers de Los Angeles), en Israël (intifada) et Grande-Bretagne (émeutes raciales et démonstrations en Ulster), ces pays qui ont d'abord été développé la recherche technologique dans le domaine des armes non létales, dont certains, déjà testés, sont adaptés aux tâches de la tenue des foules d'émeutiers. Vous pensez à balles en caoutchouc et des grenades flashbang, aveuglant, bruit-c'est-à-dire alors que nous étudions d'autres outils tels que des adhésifs ou des substances glissantes de bloquer ou de gêner le passage le long des frontières des "zones rouges", canons spéciaux pour lancer contre la plus agressive odeur groupes adhésifs de mousses ou mélanges qui, au contact de l'air, solidifient blocage fauteurs de troubles ou de créer des barrières infranchissables même à une foule en colère si correctement corrigée avec des répulsifs ou irritant.Je suis également étudiant des munitions spéciales chargées en peinture qui en ferait des manifestants facilement reconnaissables comme fauteurs de troubles que pacifiques. Tous ces systèmes sont déjà fournis départements militaires américains expérimentaux et même les ministères d'émeute de nombreuses forces policières en Amérique, alors qu'ils sont développés autres armes non létales, tels que les ultrasons émetteurs sonores avec une fréquence très basse peuvent provoquer des nausées et des étourdissements et puis rendre inoffensifs les agresseurs (utilisés depuis le ' 80 par les Soviétiques pour tenir les curieux des périmètres des bases militaires et des polygones et des Britanniques en Ulster) et armes émettant des impulsions de lumière et de feux à éclats haute intensité (également connu sous le nom de Dream Machine), qui pourraient affecter temporairement la fréquence des ondes cérébrales humaines, causant des étourdissements, de désorientation et de nausées.

5. nature et cadre juridique d'armes non meurtrières neutralisantes

Le premier problème épineux dans l'étude des armes non létales consiste à déterminer si elles relèvent de la catégorie des armes, mais avec des effets spéciaux, ou si elles sont quelque chose de différent. Si elles n'étaient pas des armes conventionnelles, il devrait en effet se demander ce qu'ils sont et quel est leur statut juridique. Selon Alhadeff, est invalidante technologie les deux armes meurtrières ont le même objectif (c'est-à-dire les personnes ou les choses), mais les différentes formes d'efficacité : les premiers ont des effets destructeurs et ont été conçus dans ce but, ce dernier conçu d'affecter autant que possible réversible. Par conséquent, le concept d'arme non létale, que vous devez exclure tout ce qui n'est pas directement face la désactivation n'y est conçu comme tel. Sont exclus les gilets pare-balles et des systèmes de surveillance des domaines tels que les réseaux à satellite, parce qu'ils ont été conçus avec l'intention de causer des dommages à des hommes et des moyens non létaux. Sont également exclus des systèmes d'armes à Low-Tech, comme bois de bâtons ou matraques, "pourquoi pas significatif", ainsi que tous les périphériques liés à la guerre psychologique, électronique et information et les armes létales de précision parce qu'elles ont été conçues dans le but de minimiser les dommages aux personnes ou aux choses. Penché sur la question du point de vue de l'ordre juridique interne, la solution ne peut pas être celui-là : armes non létales sont armes toute Cour. Actuellement, « the effets of criminel Law » sont une arme pour l'application du paragraphe 2 de l'art. Criminal Code 585, dont la cible est l'offense d'une personne physique, et, au paragraphe 3 du même article indique que c'est aussi une arme, un instrument capable d'incriminer de personnes ou de choses qui sont par la loi interdit absolument ports — sans une raison valable. Voici la notion juridique d'armes qui est soumis à la discipline du Code pénal: l'arme non létale, comme un instrument capable de fautif, peut seulement être une arme dans notre tri, donnant le résultat de l'infraction aucune blessure (physiques, un empêchement, un handicap de choses ou personnes) qui sont un désavantage. Depuis lors, arme à la sens conventionnel, bien que non mortelle, doivent être soumis aux mêmes restrictions qui ont régi les armes meurtrières. En matière de droit international, la justification légale pour cédérom "armes non létales", situé dans la base de principes coutumiers des conflits armés (les principes de nécessité militaire, l'humanité et de la proportionnalité entre le préjudice et l'action militaire), en principe des blessures superflues ou nécessaires souffrantes, dans le principe de la discrimination définie. Ces principes sont dérivés, en particulier, les articles. 35, 36, 51 du protocole additionnel à la Convention de Genève du 12 août 1977. Selon l'art. 36, chaque partie contractante est tenue de garantir la légalité de toute arme ou d'autres instruments internationaux, à la lumière des prévisions du même protocole. Art. 35 interdits expressément les « armes » qui provoque des offenses inutiles ou des souffrances inutiles. Il s'agit d'un corollaire à la règle prévu à l'art. 22 de la Hague Convention II du 29 juillet 1899, ratifiée par l'Italie le 4 septembre 1900, pour qui "le droit des belligérants à adopter des formes d'offense envers l'ennemi n'est pas illimité". L'article 51, enfin, interdit les armes qui frappent. C'est une règle fondamentale qui interdit l'action agressive vers des buts qui ne sont pas de nature militaire ou sont des civils et des militaires pour un temps — seulement les civils sans distinction. Toutefois, il estime que la meilleure façon de statuer sur la légalité des armes non létales est d'étudier, de temps à autre, les effets de chaque nouvelle technologie sur les hommes et des moyens.

6. conclusions

La discrimination de l'usage de la force militaire est un facteur essentiel dans la conduite des opérations autres que la guerre, en particulier du PSO. L'influence des facteurs politiques, dominantes dans ce cas que l'autre, implique la nécessité de disposer des ressources et des outils pour aider la taille l'utilisation des forces et atteindre l'état final de la mission tout en minimisant les effets sur l'autre partie et ses propres troupes. Dans ce domaine spécifique de la technique. Il permet, en effet, ont sophistiqué des armes, des effets facilement employables, progressives et réglables. Face, cependant, l'innovation forte et qu'il respecte les besoins de scénarios d'aujourd'hui, il y avait une mentalité pas encore prête à accepter ce type d'évolution. Cela se reflète dans l'absence résultant d'un soutien juridique et réglementaire adéquat qui facilite son utilisation. Enfin, il reste la réponse à la troisième question posée dans l'introduction. Le poids de ces moyens dans l'étape de planification est sans aucun doute remarquable. Dispose où supprimez par impliquer différentes manières d'intérimaire, différent "ligne de conduite" sur lequel le commandant devra décider, de composition différente et l'articulation des forces pour les différentes tâches qui seront confiées. Personne, pas même dans l'industrie, n'est facile de comprendre que plus la disponibilité des ressources, plus la discrétion du commandant dans le choix des lignes d'action. À ce stade, pour donner un sens concret à l'expression, vous pouvez essayer d'imaginer la structure d'un département étant équipé d'armes conventionnelles et des armes non létales. Nous pourrions facilement parler d'équipes ou pelotons dans les entreprises d'exploitation des unités où entreprises même ad hoc composent d'équipes spécialisées sur divers systèmes invalidants.Mais en fait, ce qui est pensé pour être payé, vos tecnicologistico soutient et formation du personnel. En conclusion, compte tenu de la pertinence de ce que Sun Tzu a écrit il y a 2000 ans (1), il est intéressant de signaler la citation suivante: «... » Malgré les nombreux problèmes qu'elles soulèvent, les armes non létales restent le seul instrument capable de donner une efficacité pour effectuer les nouvelles tâches confiées aux forces armées que le PSO est la Reine du moment... "(2).

Hi I have been a victim of electronic harrassment every since I lived with my ex-boyfriend Charles in 2009 when he had drugged me and put me and  implanted the microchip in the leftside of my brain without my consent and when  I woke up I felt alot of pain on the leftside of my head so asked him if I should go to the hospital then he said no you probably just bumped your head you will probably be ok. I also have a copy of my 2012 mri of the brain that shows the microchip in the left side of my brain along with copy of my 2008 brain mri photo that shows no microchip in my brain in 2008. I believe that my ex-boyfriend Charles or his mother Lillian paid these people by the names of Mykelle and Mark and that Marks brother also got involved when he would visit them upstairs from me when they used to live there. I also think that Mykelle and Mark's brother still visit the apartment complex where I live at because I see his brothers motorcycle parked across the parking lot from me on a regular basis. I think the reason that my ex-boyfriend Charles or his mother Lillian paid these people kill me in 2012  to try and keep the microchip that was implanted in me without my consent from being found out about. I also believe Mykelle and Mark that used to live at 1504 Steelwood Ln apt 2 Reno,NV had got my next store neighbors involved that live at 1504 Steelwood Ln apt 3 Reno,Nv 89512 when Mykelle and Mark used to live upstairs from me because they needed more help from other people so that they could switch computors to keep it from being found out about while they used cybernetics on me through a microchip in me . My internet was hacked by my nextstore neighbors for two years I did not know I didn't find out about this until my computor screen locked up and I reviewed my netgear logs and noticed that there was a foreign ip addresses that was not mine, so I decided to unplug my modem for awhile and eventually bought a new modem from att that is harder for them to hack. I also no longer make up my own passwords because these people are able to read my thoughts through a microchip code that goes to the microchip in my brain on their computor screen. I think they have put sonic ear on me a hearing device for elderly without my permission this reason that I believe this is I have had popping and pressure in my ears they also send loud voices to my ears I have even recorded them going through my ear on my computor through a microphone. I  also wear doc ear plugs and sonic ear plugs to block out the sound waves being sent to my ears 24 hours a day. I also think they have used microwave oven radio frequency waves on me or electronic guns that they have made up either through microwave ovens or some type of electronic device because I feel alot of electricity go through my body it makes me have headaches and I throw up and leaves me  feeling weak and dizzy. I have done everything I can do to protect myself  I have filled out  online police reports and a FBI report on these people and I have also typed out a letter to the City Mayor along with writing to the President of The United States through email and mail and have not recieved a response back from either of these places. There is one good thing going for me I wrote a member of congress Mark Amodei about stop electronic weapons that are being used against me and many others and when he wrote me back I was surprised when he said that he would be glad to represent me and my family members. Other then that so far I have been ignored by doctors who have done nothing but misdiagnose me with having a mental problem, such as bipolar disorder scizophrenia the day after my brother died when I was in depressed about my brother dying from pre-leukemia. Which I know I don't have a mental problem such as bipolar or scizophrenia  because I am not a violent person my thoughts don't change back and forth and I  have taken a class on medical terminology and I know that scizophrenia is diagnosed at a young age not at the age of 41 when I was misdiagnosed with it. But I guess that it is so easy for the doctor at the  mental institute to  misdiagnose me with a mental problem because he did not realize that I had just lost my brother and was depressed in 2012 when he diagnosed me and he also didn't know that electronic weapons was being used on by others through a microchip in my body to mind control,torture and kill me. I have also bought a trail gps tracking device to gather more evidence and have caught all the signals that was being sent out from my nextstore neighbors apt at 1504 Steelwood Ln #3 Reno,Nv 89512 into my apartment at 1504 Steelwood Ln apt 1 Reno,Nv 89512 along many others signals that was coming into my apt that I caught on my tracking device coming from other apts. These people need to be stopped that do this to me and others out there with electronic weapons and through microchips that have been placed in our bodys without our consent before it is to late because this is becoming a worldwide problem this is being used  not only to kill me  but also on  woman,men and children out there. I also had a MRI done on my brain at Reno Diagnostic in December 2011 during the mri I got red in the face after I came out of the mri my face and chest was red and that only happens when there is a metal object in the body and the tech made sure there was nothing on me that was metal on the outside of my body or inside to cause that to happen before I went into the mri machine. I would have to say that Renown Hospital here in Reno,Nv has done nothing but lie to me about the microchip that is seen on the mri photo in my brain through the ex-ray and mri department because they told me I had a normal brain mri and ex-ray with not foreign objects seen but I would guess that a microchip is so tiny that it is almost invisible to the human eye unless the mri is blowen up it would be hard to see so I can't really blame them. I know this because I have reviewed the brain mri photos for 2008 and 2012 and I have seen the microchip in my brain on the 2012 mri photo of the brain when I blew the photo up. I have tried to show my own doctor the 2012 mri photo and he told me that it was a airpocket in the skull of my brain on my  2012 mri. So I decided to get a second opinion from my sons wife a certified mri tech while she was visiting my apt I asked her take a look at the mri of my brain for 2012 to see if she could see anything on  the mri of my brain then she told me that she seen a foreign object in the leftside of my skull on my 2012 mri photo and that I should have it surgically removed I later reviewed my mri photo of my brain for 2012 and found a photo that looks like there is a microchip in the leftside of my brain. I also bought a RF bug detector for more evidence and took it outside and all the lights lite up on it and when I held it close to me I  a video of it by me. I am a woman on disability and I have been diagnosed with enviromental pre-leukemia that could have been caused from the electronic weapons that have been used on me through the microchip along with whatever kind of electronic guns they have used on me through microwave ovens etc. I wanted a second opinion from a doctor that I paid online and he told me that my 2012 mri of the brain done by Renown Medical Center looks like I have frontal antrophoy of the brain but Renown medical Center lied to me failed to tell me that. I have been physically and mentally tortured and sexually raped by these people through this microchip in my brain from a microchip code that they have typed in on their cell phone or computors with internet connection. They have caused me alot of health problems through Physco cybernetics or some other cybernetic programs that they have used on me without my permission through this microchip in the leftside of my brain or skull. Not only have these people ruined my life these people have threatened to kill me, my children and family members. My hope is that these people will be stopped so that they can't do this to other people out there through electronic weapons and microchips, and so that they can't do this to me anymore or to my family members later on. If you can help me in the fight against preventing me and others from being electronically mentally,sexually tortured,gang stalked, and eventually killed off from electronic weapons and microchips this would help me and many others. I also believe that the microchip is the worst thing that the President Obama Of The United States  approved because it causes cancers in humans and animals and allows other people to implant the microchip in a persons body without the consent of the other person and this is the  reason why I decided to start this petition. I not only started this petition to help me but others out there that go through the same thing. You may ask how do they do that? Not only do these people get paid to kill people through electronic weapons  but if a microchip is implanted in a persons body without the persons knowledge all they have to do is  send out a signal from a computor or cell phone with a microchip code that they have typed in and that signal automatically  sends out a signal to the microchip that is that persons bodys and from then on they can mind control us,read our thoughts, watch us on camera inside and outside our home ,torture us by causing pain throughout our body and rape us by causing orgasms to happen in our bodys as long as they want too through the microchip. They can also steal our Dna to use it for what ever they want to through the microchip implant . Then they eventually kill us by causing us so many health problems through the microchip and electronic weapons that they have used against us just because someone paid them to  murder someone.  They even make more money off the person they have killed and make it look like nothing happened because they caused health problems to me and everyone else through electronic weapons and microchips that was implanted in me and other, so after the person died it looks like we died from a natural health problem not a microchip because it is so tiny even a autopsy doctor would not even notice it most of the time unless their was evidence  from the deceased left behind such as mri photos,abnormal medical records etc. that would prove that the person died from a microchip and electronic weapons that someone used on me and them to kill. They are also able to steal the Identity of the person and any passwords through the microchip that is implanted in me and others because they are able to read our thoughts on a computor and cell phone ,so when they have killed me or other people they can collect what ever is left over in my bank account and other peoples bank accts if they are not closed out along with any insurance policys that was left behind from the deceased person. Simply by creating a fake Id card and using the social security number of the deceased person that they have killed. I need your help to put a stop to electronic weapons and microchips this not only kills people like me and other but it invades in the privacy rights of me and others. If you would please sign my petition it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Sincerly Dina Hamby  less

6/26/2014 - GOOD EVENING LADIES AND FAGOTS, HOW ARE YOU DOING? I HAVE LOST YOUR CONTACT, IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND DIDNT EXPECTED IT WILL GET THIS FAR, PLUS SYNTHETIC TELEPATHY IS NON FUNCTIONAL SO I HAD TO WRITE YOU LIKE THIS. YOUR PROJECT HAVE BEEN SAFE AND WELL COVERED SO FAR BUT I THINK ITS TIME TO SHUT IT DOWN AND LEAVE THIS HOUSEHOLD / NEIGHBOURHOOD ALONE, THE OTHERS CONNECTED TO IT AS WELL, QUITE A BIG NUMBER. IT CAUSES TOO MUCH HEADACHES AND VERY BAD NEURAL INTERFERENCE TO EVERYONE, ALSO HAS CAUSED MAJOR PARANOIA, PANIC ATTACKS AND PSYCHOSYS TO MANY PEOPLE, YOU DONT WANT TO MAKE A BIG LIST OF PEOPLE REGISTERED AT THE DOCTORS OFFICE, IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL SO FAR, MANY NAMES CAN BE CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER INCLUDING MEDICAL RECORDS. THEY HAVE FAMILYES AND YOU ARE RUINING THEIR LIFES, IT WENT QUITE FAR SO FAR. WHY WOULD YOU INDUCE PSYCHOSYS TO A FINE CANADIAN WORKING FAMILY MEMBERS TO SPEND MONEY ON DOCTORS AND USELESS MEDICATIONS? MAKE PROFIT ELSE WHERE. ALSO I DONT KNOW WHAT MAKE YOU THINK THAT ITS HARMLES TO PLAY IT ON KIDS, ARE YOU THAT SICK? DEFINTELY NO FUNNY. AND ME, IM DOING VERY FINE, LUCKYLY IM NOT VERY AFECTED BY IT, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFO YOU HAVE GIVEN TO ME, IN SAME TIME I HOPE, AND IM QUITE SURE YOU GOT LOADED WITH PLENTY OF CRAP AND I JUST HOPE I OR SOMEONE RELATED TO ME DONT GET REMOTE CANCER OR SOME KING OF LIFE THRETHENING ACCIDENT, BESIDES THE ATTEMPT FOR NEURAL INFLUENCE FROM YOU. YOU CAN TAKE IT TO YOUR HOME AND YOUR FAMILY, YOU WILL HAVE MUCH BETTER FEEDBACK IN REAL TIME, AND HOPEFULLY SUCCESSFULL EXPERIMENT SINCE THIS IS NOT WORKING, YOU ARE DOING SAME SCHEME FOR YEARS AND HAVENT WENT NOWHERE, ARE YOU RETARDED? IM VERY AWARE WHO IM DEALING WITH, YOU WILL SUCCEED IN COVERING IT FOR A WHILE, BUT STILL, DONT UNDERESTIMATE THE TRACEABLE RECORDS, MOST OF THE THINGS TIME WONT ERASE, AND IM NOT TALKING WITH OR ABOUT DELUSIONS. I HOPE I HAVE SPENT LOTS OF YOURS FUNDINGS AND TIME, I TRIED MY BEST. PS: PUT A FINGER IN YOUR ASS TO COMPENSATE AND FEEL BETTER. :))

+ FOR THOSE THAT SPONSOR AND SUPPORT THIS TYPE OF PROJECTS: ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS, IT WILL NEVER BE.

TARGETED INDIVIDUAL and a member of THE WORLDWIDE CAMPAIGN AGAINST ELECTRONIC TORTURE, ABUSE AND EXPERIMENTATION

I suppose it is time to introduce myself.  I am DeepThought, the author behind the wonderful Modern Warfare Series which developed out of the 'Can A Satellite Read Your Thoughts?' series of investigations.

This is a very interesting support group that you guys have here, but I do get the impression that this is a CIA front operation designed to sedate those that are being attacked.  This talk of stalkers, TIs, perps and harassment is CIA language used to downplay the seriousness of the situation and feed into neural damage caused by integration with an AI over radio. 

What's with all the pink and flowers???  It feels like a mental hospital.

Does that seem harsh?  Let's look at this situation objectively, you and your families are under attack and most likely you will die on this program, one way or another.  I don't know about the rest of you, but I am from the SAS school of modern combat, I take the fight to people.  You should too.  Make no mistake about it, you are on the front lines of WWIII.  It may not be official yet, but I'm sure you are not stupid.

I've just set up on Twitter, so if you want to chat, just follow me.

A review and update of a controversial 20-year-old theory of consciousness published in Physics of Life Reviews claims that consciousness derives from deeper level, finer scale activities inside brain neurons. The recent discovery of quantum vibrations in "microtubules" inside brain neurons corroborates this theory, according to review authors Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose. They suggest that EEG rhythms (brain waves) also derive from deeper level microtubule vibrations, and that from a practical standpoint, treating brain microtubule vibrations could benefit a host of mental, neurological, and cognitive conditions.

The theory, called "orchestrated objective reduction" ('Orch OR'), was first put forward in the mid-1990s by eminent mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose, FRS, Mathematical Institute and Wadham College, University of Oxford, and prominent anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff, MD, Anesthesiology, Psychology and Center for Consciousness Studies, The University of Arizona, Tucson. They suggested that quantum vibrational computations in microtubules were "orchestrated" ("Orch") by synaptic inputs and memory stored in microtubules, and terminated by Penrose "objective reduction" ('OR'), hence "Orch OR." Microtubules are major components of the cell structural skeleton.
Orch OR was harshly criticized from its inception, as the brain was considered too "warm, wet, and noisy" for seemingly delicate quantum processes.. However, evidence has now shown warm quantum coherence in plant photosynthesis, bird brain navigation, our sense of smell, and brain microtubules. The recent discovery of warm temperature quantum vibrations in microtubules inside brain neurons by the research group led by Anirban Bandyopadhyay, PhD, at the National Institute of Material Sciences in Tsukuba, Japan (and now at MIT), corroborates the pair's theory and suggests that EEG rhythms also derive from deeper level microtubule vibrations. In addition, work from the laboratory of Roderick G. Eckenhoff, MD, at the University of Pennsylvania, suggests that anesthesia, which selectively erases consciousness while sparing non-conscious brain activities, acts via microtubules in brain neurons.
"The origin of consciousness reflects our place in the universe, the nature of our existence. Did consciousness evolve from complex computations among brain neurons, as most scientists assert? Or has consciousness, in some sense, been here all along, as spiritual approaches maintain?" ask Hameroff and Penrose in the current review. "This opens a potential Pandora's Box, but our theory accommodates both these views, suggesting consciousness derives from quantum vibrations in microtubules, protein polymers inside brain neurons, which both govern neuronal and synaptic function, and connect brain processes to self-organizing processes in the fine scale, 'proto-conscious' quantum structure of reality."
After 20 years of skeptical criticism, "the evidence now clearly supports Orch OR," continue Hameroff and Penrose. "Our new paper updates the evidence, clarifies Orch OR quantum bits, or "qubits," as helical pathways in microtubule lattices, rebuts critics, and reviews 20 testable predictions of Orch OR published in 1998 -- of these, six are confirmed and none refuted."
An important new facet of the theory is introduced. Microtubule quantum vibrations (e.g. in megahertz) appear to interfere and produce much slower EEG "beat frequencies." Despite a century of clinical use, the underlying origins of EEG rhythms have remained a mystery. Clinical trials of brief brain stimulation aimed at microtubule resonances with megahertz mechanical vibrations using transcranial ultrasound have shown reported improvements in mood, and may prove useful against Alzheimer's disease and brain injury in the future.
Lead author Stuart Hameroff concludes, "Orch OR is the most rigorous, comprehensive and successfully-tested theory of consciousness ever put forth. From a practical standpoint, treating brain microtubule vibrations could benefit a host of mental, neurological, and cognitive conditions."
The review is accompanied by eight commentaries from outside authorities, including an Australian group of Orch OR arch-skeptics. To all, Hameroff and Penrose respond robustly.
Penrose, Hameroff and Bandyopadhyay will explore their theories during a session on "Microtubules and the Big Consciousness Debate" at the Brainstorm Sessions, a public three-day event at the Brakke Grond in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, January 16-18, 2014. They will engage skeptics in a debate on the nature of consciousness, and Bandyopadhyay and his team will couple microtubule vibrations from active neurons to play Indian musical instruments. "Consciousness depends on anharmonic vibrations of microtubules inside neurons, similar to certain kinds of Indian music, but unlike Western music which is harmonic," Hameroff explains

Isnt this cool! Its a representation of of brain waves made by reading the brain, no implants needed.

Hello fellow complaint'm Silvia Miras of Barcelona (Spain). I received a message from an individual targeted, he told me it would be better to stop belonging to this group of complaint. It is contrapruducente for this well established group. Say I talk like crazy. He says the things I say do not have the profile of victims of mind control. And it's best not to harm the set I go somewhere else. I think too much disagreement with the personal interests of the group. The things I'm commenting on the space engineering on the nuva technology of creating free energies, and the things I mention discredit the personality of the group. From my point of view if you want to kill the victim has to report: Alternative therapies that are based on the aura, which is somewhat artificial, to create jobs and the economy mober. And this in my country is generating a lot of hatred against me therefore say that hurts the group. I'm talking about how bad the Cern and the whole system of research on particle physics, and that hurts people linked to that world that are benefiting from it. I'm talking about the psychological profile of the woman who gives this macanica to increase your mind, not being a mature woman psychologically and creating collateral problems (PRIMER PSYCHIC) and this creates problems in couples individually targeted .. Apparently I'm a nuisance to the group, instead of continuing the policy of this group, "basic". I have marginalized. And I suffer a lot of hate.

Have you ever heard the Hum? This artilce explains what it is,  but what causes it is less certain.

A Mysterious Sound Is Driving People Insane — And Nobody Knows What's Causing It

Dr. Glen MacPherson doesn't remember the first time he heard the sound. It may have started at the beginning of 2012, a dull, steady droning like that of a diesel engine idling down the street from his house in the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. A lecturer at the University of British Columbia and high school teacher of physics, mathematics and biology, months passed before MacPherson realized that the noise, which he'd previously dismissed as some background nuisance like car traffic or an airplane passing overhead, was something abnormal.

"Once I realized that this wasn't simply the ambient noise of living in my little corner of the world, I went through the typical stages and steps to try to isolate the sources," MacPherson told Mic. "I assumed it may be an electrical problem, so I shut off the mains to the entire house. It got louder. I went driving around my neighborhood looking for the source, and I noticed it was louder at night."

Exasperated, MacPherson turned his focus to scientific literature and pored over reports of the mysterious noise before coming across an article by University of Oklahoma geophysicist David Deming in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, a peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to exploring topics outside of mainstream science. "I almost dropped my laptop," says MacPherson. "I was sure that I was hearing the Hum."

"The Hum" refers to a mysterious sound heard in places around the world by a small fraction of a local population. It's characterized by a persistent and invasive low-frequency rumbling or droning noise often accompanied by vibrations. While reports of "unidentified humming sounds" pop up in scientific literature dating back to the 1830s, modern manifestations of the contemporary hum have been widely reported by national media in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia since the early 1970s. 

Regional experiences of the phenomenon vary, and the Hum is often prefixed with the region where the problem centers, like the "Windsor Hum" in Ontario, Canada, the "Taos Hum" in New Mexico, or the "Auckland Hum" for Auckland, New Zealand. Somewhere between 2 and 10% of people can hear the Hum, and inside isolation is no escape. Most sufferers find the noise to be more disturbing indoors and at night. Much to their dismay, the source of the mysterious humming is virtually untraceable.

While the uneven experience of the Hum in local populations has led some researchers to dismiss it as a "mass delusion," the nuisance and pain associated with the phenomenon make delusion a dissatisfying hypothesis. Intrigued by the mysterious noise, MacPherson launched The World Hum Map and Databasein December 2012 to collect testimonies of other Hum sufferers and track its global impact (he now also moderates a decade-old Yahoo forum along with Deming). 

MacPherson quickly discovered that what to him was a strange rumbling was actually having pernicious effects on hundreds of people, from headaches to irritability to sleep deprivation. There are reports that weeks of insomnia caused by the Bristol Hum drove at least three U.K. residents to suicide. "It completely drains energy, causing stress and loss of sleep," a sufferer told a British newspaper in 1992. "I have been on tranquilizers and have lost count of the number of nights I have spent holding my head in my hands, crying and crying." Thousands of people around the world have shared similar experiences of the Hum; some, like MacPherson, are devoting their time to finally uncovering its source.



Above: Self-reported experiences of the Hum, recorded as part of The World Hum Map and Database by Glen MacPhearson, British Columbia.

Tom Moir, a professor at the Auckland University of Technology and Hum investigator, first started looking into the Hum after an Auckland resident called Moir's office at Massey University in 2002. Moir, a professor of control engineering, placed an ad in the local paper after receiving a visit from a Hum sufferer who desperately wanted to find the source of the racket. He received dozens of responses within days, all describing a mysterious droning noise matching the one described in Deming's landmark paper. Residents of Auckland's northern shore claimed that the Hum was so intense that it was preventing them from sleeping or concentrating. "When it's loud, it's like there's vibrations between your ears, that your brain is vibrating," one resident told local TV in 2011. Another Auckland resident said that the noise had been so disruptive to his life that he'd deafened himself in one ear with a chainsaw so he could sleep through the night. Many had lived a life of vibroacoustic agony, unsure if what they were hearing was real or not.

"For my entire life, I was a perfect sleeper," says Steve Kohlhase, 60, who first started to experience the Hum at night in his Brookfield, Connecticut home in September 2009. A mechanical engineer in the chemical industry, Kohlhase, like so many other Hum sufferers, has devoted his free time to searching for the source of the noise. "I immediately felt the effects in my head: It feels like your fingers are in your ears. Other people have different experiences: Sometimes the floorboards in the house have a distinct vibration to them, or they they feel it in their feet in their bedsprings. Many people find their ears ringing."



Above: "The Torment of the Hum" by Rosemarie Mann (2004).

So what's behind the Hum? After nearly four decades, Hum investigators may finally have some idea. The general consensus among sufferers is that the Hum is comprised of very low frequency (or 'VLF', in the range of 3 kHz to 30 kHz and wavelengths from 10 to 100 kilometers) or extremely low frequency (or 'ELF', in the range of 3 to 30 Hz, and corresponding wavelengths from 100,000 to 10,000 kilometers) radio waves, which can penetrate buildings and travel over tremendous distances.

Both ELF and VLF waves have been shown to have potentially adverse affects on the human body. While the common refrain about ELF radiation in popular culture normally involves your cell phone giving you cancer, research by the World Health Organization and the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers has shown that external ELF magnetic fields can induce currents in the body which, at very high field strengths, cause nerve and muscle stimulation and changes in nerve cell excitability in the central nervous system. And VLF waves, like other low-frequency electromagnetic radiation, have also been shown to have a direct impact on biological functions

Finally, there's a body of empirical evidence that makes this theory more appealing. A study funded by the Canadian government and led by University of Windsor mechanical engineering professor Dr. Colin Novak spent the last year listening to the "Windsor Hum" that's been torturing residents in the Windsor area of Ontario since 2011. A previous study had confirmed the existence of the low frequency noise in the vicinity of Zug Island, a highly industrialized island located on Michigan side of the Detroit River. The researchers used specialized equipment to capture and develop a sonic "fingerprint" of the mysterious sound. The study concluded that not only does the Windsor Hum actually exist, but its likely source was a blast furnace at the U.S. Steel plant on Zug Island, which reportedly generates a high volume of VLF waves during its hours of operation. "It sounds like a large truck or a train locomotive is parked outside your house, buzzing away, causing the windows to shake," Novak, himself a Hum sufferer, told Canada's CTV News. "It can be quite uncomfortable at times."

"I have been on tranquilizers and have lost count of the number of nights I have spent holding my head in my hands, crying and crying."

Dr. Novak's study caps off decades of Hum theories, but given the inconsistent experience of the phenomenon around the world, cataloguers of the Hum still aren't quite sure if it has a single, definitive source. While ELF and VLF waves may cause people to experience the incessant droning, not every local Hum appears to have an easily traceable source. What about the Aukland and Taos Hums? And why does the Hum seem to appear and disappear for months at a time? 

Some Hum investigators suspect that there's a global source responsible for the Hum worldwide. Deming's research, considered close to authoritative in the Hum community, suggests that evidence of the Hum corresponds with an accidental, biological consequence of the "Take Charge and Move Out" (TACAMO) system adopted by the US Navy in the 1960s as a way for military leaders to maintain communications with the nation's ballistic missile submarines, land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, and long-range bombers during a nuclear war. As part of TACAMO, military aircraft use VLF radio waves to send instructions to submarines: Because of their large wavelengths, VLF can diffract around large obstacles like mountains and buildings, propagate around the globe using the Earth's ionosphere and penetrate seawater to a depth of almost 40 meters, making them ideal for one-way communication with subs. And VLF, like other low-frequency electromagnetic waves, have been shown to have a direct impact on biological functions. (Strategic Communications Wing One at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, which is responsible for the manning, training and equipping of aircraft utilized as part of the TACAMO system, did not respond to requests for comment.)

And there are other theories. While Moir agrees with MacPherson that the disturbance is occurring at a very low frequency, he's convinced that the source of the Auckland Hum is primarily acoustic rather than electromagnetic, partially because he claims his research team has managed to capture a recording of the Hum.

Listen: An alleged recording of the Auckland Hum by Prof. Tom Moir. Plug in your headphones or increase the volume of your speaker system to maximum to hear.

Listen: A simulation of the Auckland Hum created by a research team lead by Prof. Tom Moir. 

"It's a very, very low wavelength noise, perhaps between 50 or 56 Hz," Moir told Mic. "And it's extremely difficult to stop infrasound because it can have a wavelength of up to 10 meters, and you'd need around 2.5 meter thick walls, built with normal materials, to keep it out. It gets into our wooden houses very easily. And part of the reason people have so much trouble identifying the source of it is because of how low frequency the Hum is: It literally moves right through your head before you can figure out which ear picked it up first."

This isn't to say that an electromagnetic explanation is impossible: There could be both electromagnetic or acoustic sources that complement each other. The real difficulty is separating the two hypotheses through testing. "There haven't been tests done were you subject people to these frequencies and put them in an anechoic chamber," says Moir, referring to rooms designed to completely absorb reflections of either sound or electromagnetic waves. "But until you can actually prove that by doing tests, there's no way to firmly come to that conclusion."

These tests can't come soon enough for Steve Kohlhase, the mechanical engineer hunting for the Hum in Connecticut. Kohlhase, like Dr. Novak and the researchers who traced the Windsor Hum to Zug Island, hypothesizes that the source of the Connecticut Hum is industrial rather than military, generated by a network of nearby high volume gas pipelines. The arrival of the Hum, Kohlhase argues, coincided withincreased development of natural gas pipelines in northern Fairfield County, and the increased hydraulic pressure used by the Iroquois and Algonquin interstate pipelines that run through his corner of Connecticut could result in the non-directional, extremely low frequency (ELF) humming noise previously unheard in the region.

This a pressing public health issue. It is not just some casual annoyance, claims Kohlhase. The resulting infrasonic sounds blanketing the region could result in widespread vibroacoustic disease — an occupational disease occurring from long-term exposure to large pressure amplitude and low frequency noise — the symptoms of which include those often described by Hum suffers: depression, mood swings, insomnia and other stress-induced pathologies.

The Hum may transition from unexplained mystery to unfortunate byproduct of modernity, a fixture of human geography like light pollution.

State and local governments may finally be paying attention. Worried about the potential behavioral effects of the Connecticut Hum, Kohlhase dispatched concerned emails to state and local health officials laying out his research. Kohlhase was so persistent that he contacted Connecticut State Police investigators almost six weeks after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, insisting that the Hum allegedly produced by nearby gas pipelines could have had something to do with Adam Lanza's behavior leading up to the shooting. While law enforcement officials field a flood of calls from conspiracy theorists and pranksters following any major incident, investigators deemed the information Kohlhase provided "appropriate" for inclusion in the 7,000 images, audio files, videos and documents released to the public.

"The reason that it could've affected Lanza is that sound and vibrations can have extremely subtle, detrimental affects on someone who's fragile minded," explains Kohlhase. "Imagine if you're mentally ill or have a brain tumor or are just, well, fragile of mind. I am absolutely not an expert, but if sound sensitivity is such a serious issue to those on the autism spectrum, perhaps extremely low frequency sounds can result in a pernicious effect." Kohlhase points to Aaron Alexis, the defense subcontractor who battled mental health issues and scrawled "My ELF Weapon" into the stock of his shotgun before killing 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard in 2013. "He told his psychiatrist he'd been chased by vibrations. Look at a map of instances like this, in Washington, or the Gabby Giffords shooting in Arizona, and I bet you'll see that each place coincides with a Hum cluster."

Here is the fundamental problem facing Hum sufferers around the world: believability. Scientific data and anecdotal experiences of the Hum vary so much from region the world that it's still unclear whether VLF and ELF waves are the source of it, let alone a catalyst for mass murder. The idea of a mysterious noise driving people to suicide has given birth to all kinds of pseudoscientific conjecture, making the phenomenon a favorite for conspiracy junkies who suspect foul play by some malicious government scheme (or UFOs, obviously). The World Hum, a site devoted to exploring the "mysterious phenomenon being heard by thousands around the world," is riddled with byzantine entries about UFOs crashing in Siberia.

MacPherson knows how insane it sounds. "There's a terrible irony to the vision of a conspiracy nut in a tinfoil hat, trying to keep the government from beaming thoughts into their heads," laughs MacPhearson, "since aluminum does protect against some electromagnetic radiation. This is why you don't put that stuff in the microwave." 

The federally funded investigation into the Windsor Hum and the serious examination of Kohlhase's research by Connecticut authorities may serve as a beacon of hope for Hum investigators like MacPherson, Moir, Novak and Kohlhase. State-funded tests on Hum-affected regions may yield data that could lead to a real-world solution, rather than conspiracy theories. Until then, developing a unified picture of the Hum is exactly what MacPherson wants to accomplish in British Columbia. By providing one destination for Hum data and testimony, he's hoping that professional and independent researchers will use the collected data to help develop and execute experiments that could help identify the source of their local Hum.

But until someone funds and conducts rigorous tests in an affected region, says Moir, people will continue to use the Hum as an excuse to blame modern technology, from mobile phones to telecom towers to the digital radio bands used by law enforcement. And that aura of pseudoscientific insanity surrounding the Hum has made the job of independent researchers more challenging. "In the past, I've contacted my representatives, I've contacted my governor," says Kohlhase. "There's willful ignorance going on about this problem and the real consequences it has." 

But should researchers like MacPherson and Moir finally pinpoint the local sources of the pain-inducing phenomenon, the Hum may transition from unexplained mystery to unfortunate byproduct of modernity, a fixture of human geography like light pollution. In the meantime, many just want to identify some relief. 

"A lot of serious researchers don't want to have their name attached to that, but I'm not a formal academic researcher, and I'm quite willing to lend some credibility to this idea if I can," says MacPherson. "This phenomenon is real and many people are suffering: I'm just trying to do the best I can to help

There are reports that weeks of insomnia caused by the Bristol Hum drove at least three U.K. residents to suicide. "It completely drains energy, causing stress and loss of sleep," a sufferer told a British newspaper in 1992. "I have been on tranquilizers and have lost count of the number of nights I have spent holding my head in my hands, crying and crying." Thousands of people around the world have shared similar experiences of the Hum; some, like MacPherson, are devoting their time to finally uncovering its source.



Above: Self-reported experiences of the Hum, recorded as part of The World Hum Map and Database by Glen MacPhearson, British Columbia.

Tom Moir, a professor at the Auckland University of Technology and Hum investigator, first started looking into the Hum after an Auckland resident called Moir's office at Massey University in 2002. Moir, a professor of control engineering, placed an ad in the local paper after receiving a visit from a Hum sufferer who desperately wanted to find the source of the racket. He received dozens of responses within days, all describing a mysterious droning noise matching the one described in Deming's landmark paper. Residents of Auckland's northern shore claimed that the Hum was so intense that it was preventing them from sleeping or concentrating. "When it's loud, it's like there's vibrations between your ears, that your brain is vibrating," one resident told local TV in 2011. Another Auckland resident said that the noise had been so disruptive to his life that he'd deafened himself in one ear with a chainsaw so he could sleep through the night. Many had lived a life of vibroacoustic agony, unsure if what they were hearing was real or not.

"For my entire life, I was a perfect sleeper," says Steve Kohlhase, 60, who first started to experience the Hum at night in his Brookfield, Connecticut home in September 2009. A mechanical engineer in the chemical industry, Kohlhase, like so many other Hum sufferers, has devoted his free time to searching for the source of the noise. "I immediately felt the effects in my head: It feels like your fingers are in your ears. Other people have different experiences: Sometimes the floorboards in the house have a distinct vibration to them, or they they feel it in their feet in their bedsprings. Many people find their ears ringing."

So what's behind the Hum? After nearly four decades, Hum investigators may finally have some idea. The general consensus among sufferers is that the Hum is comprised of very low frequency (or 'VLF', in the range of 3 kHz to 30 kHz and wavelengths from 10 to 100 kilometers) or extremely low frequency (or 'ELF', in the range of 3 to 30 Hz, and corresponding wavelengths from 100,000 to 10,000 kilometers) radio waves, which can penetrate buildings and travel over tremendous distances.

Both ELF and VLF waves have been shown to have potentially adverse affects on the human body. While the common refrain about ELF radiation in popular culture normally involves your cell phone giving you cancer, research by the World Health Organization and the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers has shown that external ELF magnetic fields can induce currents in the body which, at very high field strengths, cause nerve and muscle stimulation and changes in nerve cell excitability in the central nervous system. And VLF waves, like other low-frequency electromagnetic radiation, have also been shown to have a direct impact on biological functions

Finally, there's a body of empirical evidence that makes this theory more appealing. A study funded by the Canadian government and led by University of Windsor mechanical engineering professor Dr. Colin Novak spent the last year listening to the "Windsor Hum" that's been torturing residents in the Windsor area of Ontario since 2011. A previous study had confirmed the existence of the low frequency noise in the vicinity of Zug Island, a highly industrialized island located on Michigan side of the Detroit River. The researchers used specialized equipment to capture and develop a sonic "fingerprint" of the mysterious sound. The study concluded that not only does the Windsor Hum actually exist, but its likely source was a blast furnace at the U.S. Steel plant on Zug Island, which reportedly generates a high volume of VLF waves during its hours of operation. "It sounds like a large truck or a train locomotive is parked outside your house, buzzing away, causing the windows to shake," Novak, himself a Hum sufferer, told Canada's CTV News. "It can be quite uncomfortable at times."

"I have been on tranquilizers and have lost count of the number of nights I have spent holding my head in my hands, crying and crying."

Dr. Novak's study caps off decades of Hum theories, but given the inconsistent experience of the phenomenon around the world, cataloguers of the Hum still aren't quite sure if it has a single, definitive source. While ELF and VLF waves may cause people to experience the incessant droning, not every local Hum appears to have an easily traceable source. What about the Aukland and Taos Hums? And why does the Hum seem to appear and disappear for months at a time? 

Some Hum investigators suspect that there's a global source responsible for the Hum worldwide. Deming's research, considered close to authoritative in the Hum community, suggests that evidence of the Hum corresponds with an accidental, biological consequence of the "Take Charge and Move Out" (TACAMO) system adopted by the US Navy in the 1960s as a way for military leaders to maintain communications with the nation's ballistic missile submarines, land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, and long-range bombers during a nuclear war. As part of TACAMO, military aircraft use VLF radio waves to send instructions to submarines: Because of their large wavelengths, VLF can diffract around large obstacles like mountains and buildings, propagate around the globe using the Earth's ionosphere and penetrate seawater to a depth of almost 40 meters, making them ideal for one-way communication with subs. And VLF, like other low-frequency electromagnetic waves, have been shown to have a direct impact on biological functions. (Strategic Communications Wing One at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, which is responsible for the manning, training and equipping of aircraft utilized as part of the TACAMO system, did not respond to requests for comment.)

And there are other theories. While Moir agrees with MacPherson that the disturbance is occurring at a very low frequency, he's convinced that the source of the Auckland Hum is primarily acoustic rather than electromagnetic, partially because he claims his research team has managed to capture a recording of the Hum.

Listen: An alleged recording of the Auckland Hum by Prof. Tom Moir. Plug in your headphones or increase the volume of your speaker system to maximum to hear.

Listen: A simulation of the Auckland Hum created by a research team lead by Prof. Tom Moir. 

"It's a very, very low wavelength noise, perhaps between 50 or 56 Hz," Moir told Mic. "And it's extremely difficult to stop infrasound because it can have a wavelength of up to 10 meters, and you'd need around 2.5 meter thick walls, built with normal materials, to keep it out. It gets into our wooden houses very easily. And part of the reason people have so much trouble identifying the source of it is because of how low frequency the Hum is: It literally moves right through your head before you can figure out which ear picked it up first."

This isn't to say that an electromagnetic explanation is impossible: There could be both electromagnetic or acoustic sources that complement each other. The real difficulty is separating the two hypotheses through testing. "There haven't been tests done were you subject people to these frequencies and put them in an anechoic chamber," says Moir, referring to rooms designed to completely absorb reflections of either sound or electromagnetic waves. "But until you can actually prove that by doing tests, there's no way to firmly come to that conclusion."

These tests can't come soon enough for Steve Kohlhase, the mechanical engineer hunting for the Hum in Connecticut. Kohlhase, like Dr. Novak and the researchers who traced the Windsor Hum to Zug Island, hypothesizes that the source of the Connecticut Hum is industrial rather than military, generated by a network of nearby high volume gas pipelines. The arrival of the Hum, Kohlhase argues, coincided withincreased development of natural gas pipelines in northern Fairfield County, and the increased hydraulic pressure used by the Iroquois and Algonquin interstate pipelines that run through his corner of Connecticut could result in the non-directional, extremely low frequency (ELF) humming noise previously unheard in the region.

This a pressing public health issue. It is not just some casual annoyance, claims Kohlhase. The resulting infrasonic sounds blanketing the region could result in widespread vibroacoustic disease — an occupational disease occurring from long-term exposure to large pressure amplitude and low frequency noise — the symptoms of which include those often described by Hum suffers: depression, mood swings, insomnia and other stress-induced pathologies.

The Hum may transition from unexplained mystery to unfortunate byproduct of modernity, a fixture of human geography like light pollution.

State and local governments may finally be paying attention. Worried about the potential behavioral effects of the Connecticut Hum, Kohlhase dispatched concerned emails to state and local health officials laying out his research. Kohlhase was so persistent that he contacted Connecticut State Police investigators almost six weeks after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, insisting that the Hum allegedly produced by nearby gas pipelines could have had something to do with Adam Lanza's behavior leading up to the shooting. While law enforcement officials field a flood of calls from conspiracy theorists and pranksters following any major incident, investigators deemed the information Kohlhase provided "appropriate" for inclusion in the 7,000 images, audio files, videos and documents released to the public.

"The reason that it could've affected Lanza is that sound and vibrations can have extremely subtle, detrimental affects on someone who's fragile minded," explains Kohlhase. "Imagine if you're mentally ill or have a brain tumor or are just, well, fragile of mind. I am absolutely not an expert, but if sound sensitivity is such a serious issue to those on the autism spectrum, perhaps extremely low frequency sounds can result in a pernicious effect." Kohlhase points to Aaron Alexis, the defense subcontractor who battled mental health issues and scrawled "My ELF Weapon" into the stock of his shotgun before killing 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard in 2013. "He told his psychiatrist he'd been chased by vibrations. Look at a map of instances like this, in Washington, or the Gabby Giffords shooting in Arizona, and I bet you'll see that each place coincides with a Hum cluster."

Here is the fundamental problem facing Hum sufferers around the world: believability. Scientific data and anecdotal experiences of the Hum vary so much from region the world that it's still unclear whether VLF and ELF waves are the source of it, let alone a catalyst for mass murder. The idea of a mysterious noise driving people to suicide has given birth to all kinds of pseudoscientific conjecture, making the phenomenon a favorite for conspiracy junkies who suspect foul play by some malicious government scheme (or UFOs, obviously). The World Hum, a site devoted to exploring the "mysterious phenomenon being heard by thousands around the world," is riddled with byzantine entries about UFOs crashing in Siberia.

MacPherson knows how insane it sounds. "There's a terrible irony to the vision of a conspiracy nut in a tinfoil hat, trying to keep the government from beaming thoughts into their heads," laughs MacPhearson, "since aluminum does protect against some electromagnetic radiation. This is why you don't put that stuff in the microwave." 

The federally funded investigation into the Windsor Hum and the serious examination of Kohlhase's research by Connecticut authorities may serve as a beacon of hope for Hum investigators like MacPherson, Moir, Novak and Kohlhase. State-funded tests on Hum-affected regions may yield data that could lead to a real-world solution, rather than conspiracy theories. Until then, developing a unified picture of the Hum is exactly what MacPherson wants to accomplish in British Columbia. By providing one destination for Hum data and testimony, he's hoping that professional and independent researchers will use the collected data to help develop and execute experiments that could help identify the source of their local Hum.

But until someone funds and conducts rigorous tests in an affected region, says Moir, people will continue to use the Hum as an excuse to blame modern technology, from mobile phones to telecom towers to the digital radio bands used by law enforcement. And that aura of pseudoscientific insanity surrounding the Hum has made the job of independent researchers more challenging. "In the past, I've contacted my representatives, I've contacted my governor," says Kohlhase. "There's willful ignorance going on about this problem and the real consequences it has." 

But should researchers like MacPherson and Moir finally pinpoint the local sources of the pain-inducing phenomenon, the Hum may transition from unexplained mystery to unfortunate byproduct of modernity, a fixture of human geography like light pollution. In the meantime, many just want to identify some relief. 

"A lot of serious researchers don't want to have their name attached to that, but I'm not a formal academic researcher, and I'm quite willing to lend some credibility to this idea if I can," says MacPherson. "This phenomenon is real and many people are suffering: I'm just trying to do the best I can to help

Thus article has interesting information for two reasons. It talks about free will. The neural monitoring again is done with an EEG. They afe finding that thoughts concerning are up to a second before the conscious is aware of it. From my experience, the perps can almost read 3 seconds ahead. This is interesting because the tech used may be similar to n EEG. Its all noninvasive tech only.

Free Will May Just Be the Brain's 'Background Noise,' Scientists Say
By Tia Ghose, Staff Writer
Date: 19 June 2014 Time: 12:30 PM ET

It's a question that has plagued philosophers and scientists for thousands of years: Is free will an illusion?
Now, a new study suggests that free will may arise from a hidden signal buried in the "background noise" of chaotic electrical activity in the brain, and that this activity occurs almost a second before people consciously decide to do something.
Though "purposeful intentions, desires and goals drive our decisions in a linear cause-and-effect kind of way, our finding shows that our decisions are also influenced by neural noise within any given moment," study co-author Jesse Bengson, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Davis, wrote in an email to Live Science. "This random firing, or noise, may even be the carrier upon which our consciousness rides, in the same way that radio static is used to carry a radio station."

This background noise may allow people to respond creatively to novel situations, and it may even give human behavior the "flavor of free will," Bengson said. [The 10 Greatest Mysteries of the Mind]
Predetermined or random
Sir Isaac Newton's laws of classical mechanics suggested the universe was deterministic, with an inevitable effect for every cause. By Newtonian logic, a "freely" made decision is completely predetermined by the actions that precede it.
But quantum physics revealed that subatomic particles' behavior is inherently unpredictable. As a result, physical forces like gravity and electromagnetism can't completely dictate the future based on past events, thus leaving a tiny window for free will to operate through the random behavior of subatomic particles.
Still, many philosophers doubted that the random behavior of miniscule particles could translate to free will, because quantum effects don't hold much sway at larger scales.
Experiments performed in the 1970s also raised doubts about human volition. Those studies, conducted by the late neuroscientist Benjamin Libet, revealed that the region of the brain that plans and executes movement, called the motor cortex, fired prior to people's decision to press a button, suggesting this part of the brain "makes up its mind" before peoples' conscious decision making kicks in.
Hidden signal?
To understand more about conscious decision making, Bengson's team used electroencephalography (EEG) to measure the brain waves of 19 undergraduates as they looked at a screen and were cued to make a random decision about whether to look right or left. [10 Surprising Facts About the Human Brain]
When people made their decision, a characteristic signal registered that choice as a wave of electrical activity that spread across specific brain regions.
But in a fascinating twist, other electrical activity emanating from the back of the head predicted people's decisions up to 800 milliseconds before the signature of conscious decision making emerged.
This brain activity wasn't strictly a signal at all — it was "noise," part of the brain's omnipresent and seemingly random electrical firing. In fact, neuroscientists usually consider this background noise meaningless and subtract it when trying to figure out the brain response to a specific task, said Rick Addante, a neuroscientist at the University of Texas at Dallas who was not involved in the research.
In other words, some hidden signal in the background noise of the brain seemed to determine people's conscious decisions before they made them.
"That's what's wild about it; it's not all noise," Addante told Live Science. "The question then becomes, what is it, and what is the information that it contains?"
Open question
The new study doesn't prove or disprove free will, Addante said.
"If there's something else occurring before our conscious awareness that's contributing to our decision, that raises the question about the extent of our free will," Addante said. On the other hand, the findings might open the door to free will by suggesting it rides on, but isn't quite the same as, the random background noise in our brains, he said.
But Ali Mazaheri, a neuroscientist at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, sees the results as a blow to true free will.
The findings suggest that previous biases in the firing of the brain's sensory processing systems add up, leading people to decisions that the conscious brain later follows, said Mazaheri, who was not involved in the study.
Useful illusion?
But if free will is an illusion, why does it feel so real?
Though that's still a mystery, one theory is that life would be too depressing without the illusion of choice, making it hard for humans to survive and reproduce.
"The idea is that you have the illusion of free will as an artifact to be able to get through life," Mazaheri told Live Science.
The new findings were published in April in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience.

Dear Mr Finch

Thank you for contacting the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon. As you may know, the ACLU of Oregon is a small, private, non-profit organization funded entirely by private donations. Typically, the cases we accept are handled by lawyers in private practice who donate their time. As a result, we offer legal assistance in only a small number of cases each year.

Consequently, we must choose cases that most clearly invoke significant civil rights and civil liberties issues. We focus on protecting the rights of individuals to be free from excessive government intrusion and the right to receive equal protection under the law. These liberties include the rights of freedom of speech, press and religion, the right to be treated equally and without discrimination on the basis of race and sex, and the right to be free of abusive police conduct. Among these cases, we are forced to limit our representation to “impact cases” i.e., those that present new legal issues or affect large numbers of people.

We cannot assist in cases that depend on establishing facts. We are generally unable to get involved in disputes between private parties, with private employers, or private organizations. We also cannot intervene in a situation where an attorney has already been retained unless the attorney personally requests assistance, and even then, all the other criteria are still in place.

Based on the above criteria, we have concluded the ACLU is unable to provide you assistance. Please be assured, however, that this does not reflect on the worthiness of your case.

I have enclosed the ACLU of Oregon’s Referral and Information sheet. One of the organizations listed may be able to assist you. I regret we are unable to help you further.

Sincerely
(signature)
