There could be conflict between the personal freedom to use one‘s economic resources to get an implant that will enhance one‘s physical capabilities and what society at large considers desirable or ethically acceptable.“

How threatening for mankind is an Artificial Brain ?

First let me state that at this moment the biggest threat for mankind is the human specie ! ABC-weapons in wrong hands can result in extreme damaging behavior.

25-04-2010. MINDTECH seeks to establish a network of laymen and media. This group will be dealing with the social and ethical sides to research, development and the implementation of emerging technologies in our society.
Meanwhile, philosophers working alongside the researchers say it’s time to find out more about how the public feels about such bionic research, which in some cases is being used to enhance human memory, physical abilities and perception.“
MindUploading.org addresses the specific issues that may arise when neural prostheses are customized to a specific patient, and when large scale neural prostheses lead to whole brain emulation: the emulation of a patient’s complete brain function in a prosthetic substrate. Site content is focused on neuroscience and computational research that is involved in an eventual progression from neural prostheses to the applied science of whole brain emulation, including the concept of “mind-transfer”.


Implant chip in the human brain.Synthetic telepathy is communication systems built on thoughts, not speech. Multimedia communication network is based. Brain copying is performed around the clock, largely by learning computer, copying is nothing short of serious torture. No one would voluntarily give informed consent to this serious research abuse. It takes years of learning and program development to develop the new computer-brain interfaces and multimedia language between man and computer. Subjects are now against their will has been online for five years on Man-Brain-Computer-Interface.

MIND CONTROL SWEDEN 2010

That some of today’s cutting-edge neuroscience breakthroughs in nanotechnology, computer-brain integration and information technologies not yet recognized because they are too controversial with regard to the prevailing legal and IT policy and medical diagnostics.

The age of pharmaceutical microchipping is now upon us. Novartis AG, one of the largest drug companies in the world, has announced a plan to begin embedding microchips in medications to create “smart pill” technology.

The microchip technology is being licensed from Proteus Biomedical of Redwood City, California. Once activated by stomach acid, the embedded microchip begins sensing its environment and broadcasting data to a receiver warn by the patient. This receiver is also a transmitter that can send the data over the internet to a doctor.

The idea behind all this is to create “smart pills” that can sense what’s happening in the body and deliver that information to the patient’s doctor. Novartis plans to start microchipping its organ transplant anti-rejection drugs and then potentially expand microchipping to other pharmaceuticals in its product lineup. This same technology could soon end up in pills made by other drug companies, too.

The best laid plans…

Brain Reading

Whole Brain Emulation Workshop

Brain emulation, the possible future one-to-one modelling of the function of the human brain, is academically interesting and important for several reasons:

Philosophy

  • Brain emulation would itself be a test of many ideas in the philosophy of mind and philosophy of identity, or provide a novel context for thinking about such ideas.
  • It may represent a radical form of human enhancement different from other forms.

Research

  • Brain emulation is the logical endpoint of computational neuroscience’s attempts to accurately model neurons and brain systems.
  • Brain emulation would help understand the brain, both in the lead-up to successful emulation and afterwards by providing a perfect test bed for neuroscience experimentation and study.
  • Neuromorphic engineering based on partial results would be useful in a number of applications such as pattern recognition, AI and brain-computer interfaces.
  • As a research goal it might be a strong vision to stimulate computational neuroscience.
  • As a case of future studies it represents a case where a radical future possibility can be examined in the light of current knowledge.

Economics

  • The economic impact of copyable brains would be immense, and have profound societal consequences.

Individually

  • If brain emulation of particular brains is possible and affordable, and if the concerns of individual identity can be met, such emulation would enable backup copies and “digital immortality”.

Information and communication society is on its way directly into our brains and the ethical debate is non-existent in Sweden and must be urgently addressed in media.We are a company(MINDTECH) that works for this and have come into contact with people who are victims of these experiments. These victims have shared stories and is living in the same geographical catchment area, therefore, Solna near KI, KTH and Kista. The stories are so horrible when as laboratory HUMANS and to test the new technology in the most macabre and perverted ways.

An implant. It is an independent processor linked to the neurocomputer built to house an AI. The AI program has access to the sensory data and information in the neurocomputer, and can “read” surface thoughts of the owner (of course, access controls can be set if needed, both in the implant and the AI). Having (or several) as advisor/secretary/partner is becoming more and more common, although most people rely on an external AI system and a wireless neural connection.

Moodulator

An implant of the limbic system, enabling the owners to control their moods. Normally it just sets an allowed range and a bias (e.g. towards cheerfulness or calm), but it can also induce stronger emotional states. The implant is somewhat dangerous due to the risk of addiction to extreme positive states; most users at least tend to improve their mood. Originally it was developed on Nova for treatment of certain emotional disorders, especially the rare but devastating OIAIS (Ocean Induced AutoImmune Syndrome, an autoimmune illness induced by certain poisons causing severe mood swings due to damage of the limbic system). Later more widespread use developed. There are also moodcasters, systems sending signals to the implants of people who have allowed access.

.The capability to enhance the brain with extra memory capacity that will be the edge advantage for generations.

Mind Contol

Wideband Link

The implants used by Unity to achieve group consciousness. Unlike an ordinary neurointerface it connects to most of the cerebral cortex and has a much higher bandwidth. It can send and receive signals not just of primary sensory and motor information but also higher order associations and thoughts. Since each human has an individual “mental language” sophisticated translation systems and much training is required before digital telepathy is possible. Wideband links are also used by the Net Transcendence and Next Step Foundation in their experiments with expanding the human mind. One of the most controversial and interesting applications is to let software rewrite parts of the cortex; this could be the ultimate psychodesign, even if it is currently extremely crude.

mindread

Medial forebrain pacemaker

An implant in the motivation and pleasure centres that is controlled by the owner’s neurocomputer. It is illegal on Nova and very addictive: users quickly become hooked on anything that activates it. It can be used together with behaviour therapy to change habits and personality, a kind of bionic psychodesign: the user links the implant to some reward evaluator (such as a monitoring AI) that rewards certain actions. The result is a strong increase in rewarded actions, which can be used to produce extreme ambition or tenacity. Unfortunately the temptations and dangers of use are huge.

The capability to enhance the brain with extra memory capacity that will be the edge advantage

Some of the applications for this chips will be to enhance brain power.

Autonomous control

Enables the owner to control many aspects of the autonomous nervous system such as hunger, sleep or pain. Turning off these functions are of course dangerous, but sometimes useful. It can also act as a super-alarm clock (guaranteed to wake you up) or “homeostatic tuner” to optimise the hormone balance of the body.

  • Read powerful, reliable major media articles on electronic harassment and government mind control programs at this link.
  • Inform your media and political representatives of this critical information. Contact those close to you at this link. Urge them to bring this information to light and encourage public dialog on this important civil rights issue.
  • Spread this news to your friends and colleagues, and bookmark this article on key news websites using the “Share This” icon on this page, so that we can fill the role at which the major media is sadly failing. Together, we can make a difference.

Survival System

An anti-trauma network of implants, intended to maximise the chances of survival when the body is damaged. Small shunts can cut of blood loss and release protecting chemicals, as well as act as a pacemaker for the heart and lungs. If everything else is lost, the implant can douse the brain in neuroprotectants and lower body temperature to slow down damage so that an emergency cryonic suspension can be done.

Medical monitors

Likely the most common implants on Nova. Small sensors implanted in the body provides information on the health state which can be used to detect and diagnose illnesses at an early stage. Simple systems just give some chemical information, body data and a rough picture of activity in different organ systems. More advanced monitors are finely spread, detecting minute local changes and comparing the body’s reactions against medical models.

Unofficial agreements and channels for sharing of research established between countries in the cartels.

In order to initiate a public debate, monitoring and impact analysis of the subject requires international cooperation over a number of topic levels.

These victims have shared stories and is living in the same geographical catchment area, therefore, Solna near KI, KTH and Kista. The stories are so horrible when as laboratory animals and to test the new technology in the most macabre and perverted ways.

Transhumanist

As intelligence or sensory “amplifiers”, the implantable chip will generate at least four benefits: 1) it will increase the dynamic range of senses, enabling, for example, seeing IR, UV, and chemical spectra; 2) it will enhance memory; 3) it will enable “cyberthink” — invisible communication with others when making decisions, and 4) it will enable consistent and constant access to information where and when it is needed. For many these enhancements will produce major improvements in the quality of life, or their survivability, or their performance in a job. The first prototype devices for these improvements in human functioning should be available in 5 years, with the military prototypes starting within ten years, and information workers using prototypes within 5 years; general adoption will take roughly about 10 years. The brain chip will probably function as a prosthetic cortical implant. The user’s visual cortex will receive stimulation from a computer based either on what computer sees or based on an artificial “window” interface.

pick up where nature left off, incorporating Google-like master maps into neural implants. This in turn would allow us to search our own memories — not just those on the Web — with something like the efficiency and reliability of a computer search engine.

By: Ellen McMcgee (Boston) and Mc gee and Mq Maguire jr. Jr (KTH Kista Stockholm SWEDEN)

First, we have to remember that all sensory data we experience is converted into electrical signals that the brain can process. The brain does a very good job of this, and we in turn experience these inputs as subjective awareness (namely through consciousness and feelings of qualia); our perception of reality is therefore nothing more than the brain’s interpretationof incoming sensory information.

Now imagine that you could stop this sensory data at the conversion point and replace it with something else.

“This in turn would allow us to search our own memories — not just those on the Web — with something like the efficiency and reliability of a computer search engine.” he postulates.

“How much would you pay to have a small memory chip implanted in your brain if that chip would double the capacity of your short-term memory? Or guarantee that you would never again forget a face or a name?”

Clearly DARPA (USA) and SÄPO (Sweden)would pay quite a lot, given that the research arm of the US military continues to fundscientific development of that exact technology. By: Anders Sandberg. Oxford U.K

In recent decades meetings, between nanotechnology, information technology, biotechnology and neuroscience have produced a new research area, which is developing new, unknown products and services. We are facing a new revolution, which are currently, of universal neurocomputing. A unique perceptual tool, not only does our conscious minds, but also imitate them, sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch.

Legislation applicable confidentiality and privacy is totally absent in this area.

    • Medical records (blood type, potencial allergies, medical history)
    • Personal information
    • Financial information


Rafael Capurro, ISTAS 2010

18

Scientific and Technical Background

  • VeriChip™ is a subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) device, about the size of a grain of rice. This technology, developed by Applied Digital Solutions (ADS), one US-based company, has been used in animals for years and seems fairly harmless.
  • Extending the use to the human population is the next step.
  • The idea for employing the tags to identify humans came after the horror of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon.
  • The chip is an ID tag which is passive (not independently powered). When radio-frequency energy passes from a scanner, it energizes the chip, and which then emits a radio-frequency signal transmitting the chip's information to the reader, which in turn links with a database.

Rafael Capurro, ISTAS 2010

31

Legal Background

  • „ICT implants may:
    • allow individuals to be located on a permanent and/or occasional basis;
    • Allow the information contained in electronic devices to be changed remotely without the date subject‘s knowledge.“


Rafael Capurro, ISTAS 2010

32

Legal Background

  • „These risks are bound to increase with the adoption of unified technical standards, which may allow data to be read and modified also by entities other than the data subject and the bodies/organizations lawfully managing the relevant plant or connection.“


Rafael Capurro, ISTAS 2010

33

Legal Background

  • „Both circumstances are clearly in conflict with data protection rules concerning collection and processing of the information.“


Rafael Capurro, ISTAS 2010

34

Legal Background

  • „For the legal background, it should be noted that:
    • the existence of a recognised serious but uncertain risk, currently applying ot the simplest types of ICT implant in the human body (…)
    • The purpose specification principle mandates at least a distinction between medical and non-medical applications (…)


Rafael Capurro, ISTAS 2010

35

Legal Background

  • „the data minimisation principle rules out the lawfulness of ICT implants that are only aimed at identifying patients, if they can be replaced by less invasive andequally secure tools;
  • the proportionality principle rules out the lawfulness of implants such as those that are used, for instance, exclusively to facilitate entrance to public premises;


Rafael Capurro, ISTAS 2010

36

Legal Background

  • „the principle of integrity and inviolability of the body rules out that the data subject‘s consent is sufficient to allow all kinds of implant to be deployed; and
  • the dignity principle prohibits transformation of the body into an objet that can be manipulated and controlled remotely – into a mere source of information.“

Rafael Capurro, ISTAS 2010

43

Ethical Background

  • „Thus we might be continuously connected and could be configured differently so that from time to time we would transmit and receive signals allowing movements, habits and contacts to be traced and defined.

Opinion

  • „ICT Implants for Surveillance Purposes

ICT implants for surveillance in particular threaten human dignity. They could be used to locate people (and also to retrieve other kinds of information about them).

Opinion

„However, the EGE insists that such surveillance applications of ICT implants may only be permitted if the legislator considers that there is an urgent and justified necessity in a democratic society (Article 8 of the Human Rights Convention) and there are no less intrusive methods.“



Rafael Capurro, ISTAS 2010

70

Opinion

„Nevertheless the EGE does not favour such uses and considers that surveillance applications, under all circumstances, must be specified in legislation. Surveillance procedures in individual cases should be approved and monitored by an independent court.

The same general principles should apply to the use of ICT implants for military purposes.“

Information and Research into Progressing Technologies

Artificial intelligence in interaction with the lhuman brain

© Copyright. by Gina Rydland
published: 10.04.2010

Most human rights organizations, healthcare personnel, politicians and lawmakers are unaware of what types of HE (Human Experimentation) that are in operation. Even fewer know how to handle it and what it means to their respective profession. A broader investigation is needed to reveal the consequences for the victims and society in general [1].

Some consequences became evident in my conversations with targeted individuals (TI). Years of repeated firing of the neurons and the aggressive stimulation of the hormone system exhaust the body and brain. Subsequently many TIs loose the ability to secure their economy and maintain a stable platform for their life. In addition altered perception on the subconscious level, with preprogrammed trigger points, will surface in the conscious mind and result in changes in personality and behavior. The trial runs of the fluctuating modified behaviors show a variation in duration depending on intent, choice of design and the individual brains response. The rapid variation in mood, perception and behavior creates physical and mental stress in the subject.

Modified behavior can be observed as original personality traits being reinforced or weakened. A common alternation of perception is expressed in the mind of the victim as faulty conspiracy theories. In this state the brain seems to be unable to discover the obvious logical flaws in the stories. Many subjects wholeheartedly believe in what they "preach" while others understand that their perception is wrong but for shorter or longer periods have no control over their will to stop advertising their new world view. The same person may experience fluctuations between both examples. Each individual's personal interpretation of what is happening to them influence the desired results and challenges the design of the experiment.

The subjects ability to understand the nature of direct telepathic communication with AI varies, as does the ability to distinguish between induced and own thoughts worked on by the subconscious. Keeping the presented ideas close to the persons own perception makes it more difficult to detect the mind intrusion.

In cases where the TIs are religious, "spiritual guides" or a "God" may be used as a representation in both the subconscious and conscious state when sending and retrieving information within the brain. Victims of the the alien abduction program experienced telepathic communication with an extraterrestrial life form. In newer more advanced projects characters reflecting the subjects own memory bank, perception, fears and desires are used rather than a fixed set of preprogrammed representations.

Many TIs report that when a communication bridge is opened between AI and the neural network of their brain they experience two or three individuals talking amongst each other, one of them having a conversation with the subjects brain. As in AA (Alien Abduction) the virtual characters interacting with the individual may be combined with a controlled set of emotions and imagery of a suitable environment to go with it. The contact occur when the TI is awake.

Imagine the implications for the TIs when family and friends are confronted with one of their loved ones change in personality and behavior. Such changes will most likely be interpreted as the person struggling with psychological issues and TIs are in danger of wrongfully being diagnosed with a psychiatric illness. Victims aware of the fact that they are being used as guinea pigs will see this as another act of abuse adding to the trauma. However programming may be used to dampen normal reaction patterns derived from the abuse. Stimulation of the hormone system as a part of the programming may even give some subjects a feeling of wellness, willingness and pleasure during abuse. These effects are not permanent at least not at the early stage of the experiment and may result in shifts between the original and the artificial reaction pattern. As a result symptoms of trauma may surface in the conscious mind.

Public healthcare, the social services and the justice system encounter the consequences of human experimentation with satellite to brain technology on a daily bases. Unknowingly the society carries the economical and social burdens caused by the industries classified experiments on humans. Consequently TIs unable to finish their education, maintaining a job, struggling with behavioral problems or becoming violent may result in a overall more dysfunctional society.

We also struggle to ensure that individual participants in research are fully protected.Community advisory boards (CABs) offer an opportunity to adopt a relationships paradigm that enables researchers to anticipate and address the context in which communities understand risks and benefits, and individuals give consent.CABs provide a mechanism for community consultation that contributes to protecting communities and fostering meaningful research. Furthermore, CABs can help us to re-create informed consent as a process. It is critical that we conduct research to understand the role of CABs in the informed consent process.INTRODUCTIONTOPABSTRACTINTRODUCTIONWHY DOES THE COMMUNITY...WHERE DO WE GO...A RESEARCH AGENDA ON...CABS AS A REFLECTION...ReferencesTHE BELMONT REPORT: ETHICAL Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects1 was born from the fire of controversy over egregious abuses of human subjects. Its principles provide the foundation for contemporary regulations designed for the protection of human subjects. Since the mid-1980s, there has been an increased focus on the participation of groups and communities in the research process, originating from the demand of activists to be heard in the context of AIDS research. New voices and scientific challenges today are increasing the pressure to supplement or reinterpret the principles of the Belmont Report. Gostin2 expands the application of existing ethical principles of respect, beneficence, and justice to populations and communities, extending to groups the protections now reserved for individuals. Weijer3 asserts that a fourth ethical principle, "respect for communities," is necessary to address the increasing vulnerability of groups and to supplement the "atomistic" view of the person epitomized in the Belmont Report. Other scholars also agree that the Belmont framework focuses heavily on individuals. Today, research demands that we consider if not a new principle, a new interpretation of Belmont to account for the ways in which research affects communities.4,5The challenge to expand or revise the human subject protections of the Belmont Report by including community protection and participation as a principle builds on the assumption that new principles or regulations are necessary to include communities in a meaningful partnership. However, to date, the existence of the Belmont principles and regulations governing human subjects research has not fully prevented research abuses nor has it contributed to positive partnerships with communities. Therefore, the solution is not to change principles or regulations alone when in fact a new approach that integrates the relationships paradigm that was advocated by King et al.6 is necessary. Community advisory boards (CABs) become one meaningful and feasible way to operationalize new protections of communities.WHY DOES THE COMMUNITY NEED TO BE INCLUDED?TOPABSTRACTINTRODUCTIONWHY DOES THE COMMUNITY...WHERE DO WE GO...A RESEARCH AGENDA ON...CABS AS A REFLECTION...ReferencesAdvances in science, technology, and biomedical research push the boundaries of our Belmont principles, stimulating the need for communities to be involved in the informed consent process. Emergency medical research involves the application of experimental procedures or medications to unconscious research subjects with closed head trauma or other life-threatening injuries when their condition demands immediate action, standard procedures are not thought to be effective in that case, and the family is unavailable to provide consent. Changes in Food and Drug Administration regulations allow waivers of informed consent in such lifethreatening emergencies.7 The rights of unconscious subjects are thought to be accorded a degree of protection through the mechanism of "community consultation" that requires prior consultation (by investigators/the institutional review board) with community representatives, as well as public disclosure to the affected community before and after the research.Burgeoning genetic research fuels public fears, particularly in communities or social groups that have experienced the brunt of social discrimination in the past. As a result, the concept of potential harm to others emerged from the National Bioethics Advisory Commission’s report Research Involving Human Biological Materials: Ethical Issues and Policy Guidance.8 In recommendation 17, the advisory commission explicitly recognizes that the risk of group harm is distinct from the risk of individual harm. Therefore, the commission calls upon researchers to anticipate and disclose such risks and to consult with community representatives if they believe such risks to be possible. In 2000, The National Institute of General Medical Sciences convened the First Community Consultation on the Responsible Collection and Use of Samples for Genetic Research.9 With a growing concern about the potential for discrimination, stigmatization, and breaches of privacy in genetic research, participants raised key questions about how community may be defined in research, what risks and benefits exist for community members in research, and how community members can or should participate in the process of research. Participants echoed the commission’s stance that there are ethical issues related to research with communities that are distinctly different from the ethical issues related to research with individuals. Most importantly, the meeting resulted in 10 recommendations for genetic research:1. Define community in appropriate and meaningful ways.2. Understand the potential benefits and risks of research for communities and community members.3. Obtain broad community input for all phases of research.4. Respect communities as full partners in research.5. Resolve all issues pertaining to tissue samples.6. Establish appropriate review mechanisms and procedures.7. Facilitate the return of benefits to communities.8. Foster education and training in community-based research.9. Ensure dissemination of accurate information to the media and the public.10. Provide sufficient funds for research and encourage community–researcher partnerships.9(p2–3)A number of difficult questions remain with respect to community consultation, including who is entitled to speak for a community, who decides the research questions, and, finally, whether a community should have a role in approving a protocol.Minority communities raise significant concerns about genetics research. In early results from the Genome Technology and Reproduction: Values and Public Policy project at the University of Michigan,10 researchers described Latino and African American participants as particularly concerned that communities of color would bear the burdens of genetic research without receiving potential benefits of that research. Participants argued for a role for communities in every phase of research, whether through partnership, consultation, or a CAB. This is particularly critical in minority communities where cultural and historical context are particularly relevant, and some form of consultation in the process of informed consent can help ensure that researchers gain an understanding of the social context in which community members assess the risks and benefits of research.11 The Hispanic/Latino Genetics Consultation Network is a collaborative effort between Redes En Accion, the Baylor College of Medicine, and the National Institutes of Health to "create a forum for Latinos to identify, prioritize and disseminate information on genetics."12 Their June 2003 forum brought 75 key opinion leaders together with federal agencies to prioritize research issues from the perspective of the Latino community, thereby shaping the National Institutes of Health’s policies, research, and education.Calls for changes in the interaction between researcher and community also emerge from community voices, often stimulated by mistrust and fatigue from being the "subject" of research while rarely benefiting from the fruits of research. Kone et al.13 conducted interviews with community residents in several Seattle neighborhoods in a study of community–researcher relationships. Key lessons from that study include the following: (1) researchers must have a clear understanding of what community means to those involved and the respective communities themselves; (2) community members from diverse backgrounds must be involved in the research process; (3) community members want to have an active role, including being trained to conduct research; (4) more researchers from racial and ethnic minority populations are needed; and (5) mechanisms to ensure sharing of power and resources are critical. The authors assert that establishing a CAB and developing a community-based participatory research (CBPR) process are potential means to strengthen researcher–community collaboration.13Finally, a disturbing linguistic dynamic has emerged in research discourse, and this potentially undermines our existing mechanisms for the protection of human subjects. It is increasingly common to hear researchers describe informed consent as a task to be done, speaking of the need "to consent" the subject. This subtle shift in language exposes a dangerous fault line, raising the question of whether the focus is on informed consent as a product, such as a signed document, or informed consent as a process. "To consent" the subject raises questions about the dynamic of power between researcher and potential subject and challenges our existing principles of autonomy and justice. One key element of informed consent is voluntariness or the absence of a significant controlling influence. However, "consenting someone" implies that voluntariness may be more easily compromised. The extent to which the pressure on researchers to enroll minority participants may interact with this dynamic and contribute to potential breaches of informed consent is unknown, yet troublesome. The evolving language of research requires further vigilance to ensure that individual informed consent is not compromised, opening the door for a role of the community to assist in this process.WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?TOPABSTRACTINTRODUCTIONWHY DOES THE COMMUNITY...WHERE DO WE GO...A RESEARCH AGENDA ON...CABS AS A REFLECTION...ReferencesAlthough the drive to involve communities in the process of research stems from a multitude of factors, investigators accomplish this through a variety of means. Inclusion of new principles, elucidation of community consultation and community consent mechanisms, CBPR, inclusion of community members on institutional review boards, and CABs are possible means to include communities in research. Each model has specific roles, benefits, and drawbacks (a full elucidation of those is beyond the scope of this article).Weijer and Emanual14 contend that the primary rationale for involving communities is that the community has a right to respect and protection, based on a partnership with the researcher. Therefore, they suggest that several protections can be afforded communities: (1) consultation in protocol development, (2) information disclosure and informed consent at the community level, (3) involvement in all phases of the research, (4) access to data and samples that again would require community consent, and (5) involvement in dissemination and publication of results.They argue that whether the potential protection takes the form of community consultation or community consent will vary depending on the characteristics of the community.14 For community consultation to occur, the community must have specific characteristics such as a healthrelated common culture, a group that is representative of the community, some mechanism for collective priority setting, and a communication network. If consultation requires a face-to-face meeting, the community must be geographically localized. Such community consultation would consist of involving community representatives in the planning of the study, informing the community as a whole at the start of the study and throughout its course, consulting with the community on the use of the data, and providing a report of the data to the community.14 However, they recommend that for community consent to be possible, the community also must have a legitimate political authority that can make binding decisions.14 This approach to community consent is an added protection that still preserves individual autonomy. One example of this model is the ability of some tribal nations with governing bodies to determine tribal participation in research endeavors.CBPR is a growing approach to the development of an equal partnership between the researcher and the community. Israel et al. write that "community based research is a collaborative approach to research that equitably involves community members, organizational representatives, and researchers in all aspects of the research process."15(p177) There are multiple rationales for CBPR, including improving the quality and validity of research, bridging cultural gaps between researchers and communities, increasing trust between researchers and communities, involving marginalized communities, and enhancing the relevance and usefulness of the data.13,15 Additionally, developing research that is meaningful to the community by addressing its expressed needs is one rationale and benefit of CBPR; certainly, this benefit addresses a common complaint of community members whose perception is that communities rarely benefit directly from research. Explicitly addressing informed consent issues is not generally a rationale for the use of CBPR. Although CBPR lends itself well to some areas of research, it is not applicable to all types of research conducted by public health and other health professionals. Consequently, CABs provide another strategy for protection of communities in research.According to Strauss et al.,16 CABs consist of community members with a common identity, history, symbolism, language, and culture. CABs can play various roles. They can (1) act as a liaison between researchers and community, (2) represent community concerns and culture to researchers, (3) assist in the development of study materials, (4) advocate for the rights of minority research study subjects, and (5) consult with potential study participants to provide recommendations about research study enrollment. Although CABs can certainly help to shape the research questions in ways that may be more salient to the community, their role is not necessarily the joint determination of research questions that is necessary with CBPR. CABs can also play a role in the dissemination of results from a study.There are multiple models for CABs. One model has been the establishment of a CAB for a specific study; much of the literature existing on CABs focuses on this model. However, another model is the establishment of an institutional CAB that may examine a whole array of research studies. The CAB at the Urban Research Center, Center for Urban Epidemiological Studies in Harlem exists to serve the center in its broader sense, addressing an array of health issues.17–19 At the Center for Minority Health, Graduate School of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh, the community research advisory board is a freestanding advisory board that grapples with studies from investigators across the multiple schools of the health sciences including medicine and public health. In Europe, there are multiple models for CABs.Strauss et al.16 view CABs as a potential protection against breaches of individual informed consent as well as serving to improve research when the CAB provides for ongoing dialogue between the researchers and the community. They argued that CABs can play a valid role in the threshold, informational, and consent elements of the informed consent process in such a way as to help ensure informed consent by the individual. A review of existing literature would suggest that CABs most commonly contribute to the informational elements of the informed consent process by seeking and evaluating information from investigators on risks and benefits of participation, disseminating it to the community, and making concrete suggestions on informed consent forms.17,20,21 The CAB at the Urban Research Center in Harlem includes this statement in its operating principles:All Urban Research Center research projects will meet current ethical standards and will fully respect the rights of all participants in a culturally sensitive manner, including the rights to be aware of risks and benefits, to give informed consent, and to have the option to withdraw from research at any time without penalty to the participant.17(p532)In order for CABs to prevent ethical lapses and to maintain a role in informed consent, they will require appropriate education about human subjects’ protections. For example, the community research advisory board at the University of Pittsburgh holds educational sessions on the principles of informed consent, research ethics, the institutional review board process, and perceptions of African Americans about participation in research.CABs may be one viable means of meeting the recommendation from the Institute of Medicine’s report on responsible research, which calls for human subject participant protection programs to "foster communication with the general public, research participants and research staff to assure that the protection process is open and accessible to all interested parties."22(p64) In fact, the Institute of Medicine considers "transparency—to ensure open communication and interaction with the local community, research participants, investigators, and other stakeholders in the research enterprise" to be a necessary condition for a sound protection program.22(p52) The Institute of Medicine panel goes further to call for adequate protections programs to include access to a "responsible, knowledge, neutral third party."22(p65) The role of that party—to allow for communication, open consideration of concerns, and addressing problem issues—is certainly congruent with that of a CAB.A RESEARCH AGENDA ON CABS AND INFORMED CONSENTTOPABSTRACTINTRODUCTIONWHY DOES THE COMMUNITY...WHERE DO WE GO...A RESEARCH AGENDA ON...CABS AS A REFLECTION...ReferencesA substantial research agenda is necessary to understand the potential roles and effectiveness of CABs in the informed consent process. Critical questions include the following:1. To what extent do CABs have some interaction with institutional review boards? What is the interaction?2. To what extent have CABs contributed to the review or development of informed consent forms and processes? What education or training was necessary in order for them to address these tasks?3. To what extent may CABs play a role in other elements of informed consent, including the threshold elements of competence and voluntariness and the actual consent elements of decision to act and authorization?4. To what extent have CABs fulfilled the obligation for community consultation in emergency research that requires a waiver of informed consent?5. To what extent have CABs been a resource to study participants when questions about ethical conduct of research arise?6. Have CABs experienced the need to address potential lapses in protection of human subjects? What were the circumstances and how did they respond?7. To what extent do CABS help facilitate the evolution of communities that have been historically vulnerable in the research endeavor to communities empowered to participate fully in the informed consent process?There has been little evaluation of the functioning of CABs in the literature. To fully realize their potential contribution to the process of informed consent, we must understand more about CABs in general. Research on their functions, the roles of members, barriers and challenges, and interactions with researchers and community is essential.Although the potential for CABs is great, their success lies in the ability of the researchers and CABs to form a true partnership, enabling their different voices to be heard equally. To do so requires that investigators be willing to develop open communication and to share power and decisionmaking with CAB members. It challenges investigators to incorporate understanding of cultural and social context into their research process. Conversely, for a CAB to be successful, CAB members must represent their community honestly, and they must willingly tackle the need to understand often-complex research studies and protocols. Simply creating a CAB without being truly open to working together may, in fact, further harm relationships with the community, which may rightly perceive the CAB as "window dressing."CABS AS A REFLECTION OF A PARADIGM SHIFTTOPABSTRACTINTRODUCTIONWHY DOES THE COMMUNITY...WHERE DO WE GO...A RESEARCH AGENDA ON...CABS AS A REFLECTION...ReferencesUltimately, CABs may constitute the feasible means of ensuring a role for communities in research and informed consent, enabling researchers to incorporate the relationships paradigm that King et al.6 raise as an alternative to a focus on the principalist paradigm from a stricter interpretation of the Belmont Report.1 They argue that researchers frequently conducted research from what they describe as the principalist paradigm that focuses on "balancing principles of autonomy, beneficence, justice, informed consent and confidentiality; assumes ethical universalism (not moral relativism)—truth (not stories); and maintains an atomistic focus—small frame, centered on individuals."6(p15) They go on to state that "the moral principles held to govern research with human subjects remain current and meaningful but make sense only in context. Thus, the ethics of human subjects research may be universal but is at the same time deeply particularized, so that what autonomy or informed consent or confidentiality or even benefit and harm means depends on the circumstances."23(p213)King et al.6,23 challenge us to expand beyond the synchronic (slice-of-time) "principalist paradigm" of Belmont evident in our system of federal regulations to include a "relationships paradigm." Such a shift in approach would account for both the interactions between subjects and their communities and subject–communities with researchers. Their call for an integration of the principalist paradigm with a relationships paradigm is consistent with the functions and potential roles of CABs. The relationships paradigm recognizes the breadth and depth of relevant relationships between individuals and groups in a community; incorporates the relevant contexts including culture, gender, race/ethnicity, history, community, place, and others that affects research; acknowledges crosscutting issues and allows wider frames of reference; and adopts what they term as a more "narrative focus."6The relationships paradigm calls for a broader understanding of time beyond that of a specific research study and recognizes that issues of importance in the context of broader community life, occurring both before and after a specific research study, necessitate some continuity of relationship between investigator and community.6,23 Not infrequently, investigators may enter a community without full comprehension of relevant issues and previous research demands and depart when their grant draws to a close. Adopting a relationships paradigm requires consideration of a longer window of time in the community’s life and the investigator’s roles within the community’s particular context. Beyond the issue of informed consent, CABs provide an avenue to raise questions of particular salience to the community and to share the results of the research with the community, a frequent source of anger for communities that lament the failure of investigators to disseminate their results.Adopting a new principle of "respect for communities" to expand our existing Belmont principles provides no guarantee that we will conduct research in a manner that fully respects communities. However, CABs offer one opportunity to adopt a relationships paradigm that enables researchers to anticipate and address the context in which communities understand risks and benefits and individuals give consent. CABs provide the mechanism for community consultation that contributes to protecting communities and fostering meaningful research. Furthermore, CABs can enable us to fully interpret the principles of autonomy, beneficence, and justice and re-create informed consent as a process. To reap these benefits from CABs, investigators must truly believe them to be of significant value in the research process and create meaningful partnerships with communities. Ultimately, the health of our communities will be the beneficiaries.AcknowledgmentsThe author was supported in part through a National Institutes of Health grant (1P01 MD0020701) for a Center in Excellence in Partnerships for Community Outreach, Research on Health Disparities and Training.FootnotesPeer ReviewedAccepted for publication November 25, 2003.ReferencesTOPABSTRACTINTRODUCTIONWHY DOES THE COMMUNITY...WHERE DO WE GO...A RESEARCH AGENDA ON...CABS AS A REFLECTION...References1.

this can not be healed by medical

You can try to take as much anti-depressants anti psych what ever but the truth of this in which I know is true is that modern medicine and science can not heal you emotionally. Lots of Doctors would prescribe you meds.. for really anything or nothing at all that was simple for them. Medicine is a cover up. A veil that hides the what is present in your life that has effected you. You need to realize that there is alot of things you need to start doing to combat your spiritual battle. Stand on top of it. eliminate the things they like to watch they like to listen too out of your life. We all need shelter the only shelter I found that goes head on into warfare against those involved in witch craft is to read the word of God aloud listen to his worship music watch CBN and other Christian broadcasting shows. If you start doing this the doors will begin to close on the enemy and you will be able to focus on the reality of his natural healing spirit that has healed many like you in similar cases.

GSS Conference Call on Psychotronic Weapons

GSS Conference Call on Psychotronic Weapons

GSS Conference Call on Psychotronic Weapons "EPISODE 50" was a big success! We had 37 participants.

In the beginning of the program, Bruno Marchesani spoke on the topic. He was very informative about the subject. Later, we received various comments from both phone and chat participants and a lot was learned about this subject.

Lastly, we played several audio feeds about the topic, which was posted in the chatroom.

Our next topic will be on SAFE HOUSE and it will take place after the new year.

We are currently looking for 2 or more moderators to host the Thursday's night call. It will be at 11PM EST once two hosts are found.

In the meantime, our first spiritual call will be on Sunday, December 12th 2010 at 8:00 PM EST. The code for this call will not change and a follow-up announcement will be made later in the week.

Thanks for your support!

When we passed Stillwell Hall she said, "They held people in cages"Add Also to this Norbert Air Force Base in San Bernadino https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzXYyhmv-UgThere is NO STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON MURDER- NONE AT ALLhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD0Bw5HqvlE&feature=player_embeddedIran Contra was much more than drugs, guns.. it was theft of human beings and MK ultraA Carefully Crafted Hoax - CIA-Sponsored Child Abduction & Prostitution - The Franklin ScandalVery good news for veterans, their children and their grandchildren... the non consentual human experimentation extends into the children of military personel~ "A federal magistrate judge in San Francisco ordered the CIA to produce specific records and testimony about the human experiments the government allegedly conducted on thousands of soldiers..."http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/11/17/31924.htmCIA Must Disclose Data on Human ExperimentsBy ANNIE YOUDERIAN(CN) - A federal magistrate judge in San Francisco ordered the CIA to produce specific records and testimony about the human experiments the government allegedly conducted on thousands of soldiers from 1950 through 1975.Three veterans groups and six individual veterans sued the CIA and other government agencies, claiming they used about 7,800 soldiers as human guinea pigs to research biological, chemical and psychological weapons.The experiments, many of which took place at Edgewood Arsenal and Fort Detrick in Maryland, allegedly exposed test subjects to chemicals, drugs and electronic implants. Though the soldiers volunteered, they never gave informed consent, because the government didn't fully disclose the risks, the veterans claimed. They were also required to sign an oath of secrecy, according to the complaint.The veterans filed three sets of document requests to find out who was tested, what substances they were given, and how it affected them. Between October and April, the government produced about 15,000 pages of heavily redacted records, most of which related to the named plaintiffs only.The CIA argued that much of the information requested was protected under the Privacy Act and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.U.S. Magistrate Judge James Larson acknowledged that some of the requests were too broad and ordered the veterans to be more specific and to reduce the total number of requests.For example, Larson said the plaintiffs' definition of "test program" is "overbroad," as it not only named experimental programs like "Bluebird," "Artichoke" and "MKUltra," but also included "any other program of experimentation involving human testing of any substance, including but not limited to 'MATERIAL TESTING PROGRAM EA 1729.'"He ordered the veterans to provide a list of specific test programs and test substances.But once the plaintiffs narrow their requests, Larson said, they are entitled to most of the information. Each government agency must respond individually to each request, he said, and if an agency denies any request, it must explain -- in sufficient detail -- why the records are purportedly privileged.The CIA has already claimed that some documents are protected under the state-secrets privilege, but Larson said the agency needs to be more specific. He asked for a "supplemental declaration explaining with heightened specificity" why the documents are considered state secrets. Because these documents might contain sensitive information, the judge allowed the CIA to file the declaration under seal.Larson rejected the government's bid to limit the scope of discovery, saying doing so "removes the remaining hurdle" for the CIA to respond to the veterans' sets of requests."Defendants should respond in earnest to Plaintiffs' discovery requests, regardless of any ongoing or prior searches, investigations, or litigation," Larson wrote. He said the government can't limit disclosure to information about the six individual plaintiffs.The CIA insisted discovery was unwarranted in its case, because it never funded or conducted drug research on military personnel.Larson wasn't convinced."[T]his court rejects the conclusion that the CIA necessarily lacks a nexus to Plaintiffs' claims, and orders the CIA to respond in earnest" to the veterans' requests, "particularly because defendants have presented evidence that would appear to cast doubt on that conclusion," he wrote.The government also tried to avoid deposition, claiming too much time had passed since the alleged experiments, and any witnesses familiar with the projects likely no longer work for the government. The CIA further argued, unsuccessfully, that the court should stay discovery until the Department of Defense completes its investigation of the experiments.Larson reminded the CIA that it "cannot use the DoD investigation as an excuse to avoid discovery responsibilities."He then addressed which topics are fair game for deposition, saying the government must produce witnesses to testify about the following: communication between the VA and test subjects on their health care claims; a 1963 CIA Inspector General report on an experiment called MKUltra, and the basis for each redaction on that report; the scope and conduct of document searches; the doses and effects of substances administered to test subjects; any contract or research proposals concerning the experiments; a confidential Army memo about the use of volunteers in research; all government-led human experiments from 1975 to date, but only those that involve specific drugs; and whether the government secretly administered MKUltra materials to "the patrons of prostitutes" in safe houses in New York and San Francisco, as the veterans claimed.Judge Larson ruled for the CIA on other issues, however, saying the agency's not required to testify about test subjects who withdrew their consent or refused to participate; devices allegedly implanted into certain test subjects; the alleged use of patients at VA hospitals as guinea pigs in chemical and biological weapons experiments; or the drug research studies conducted by Dr. Paul Hoch, who was purportedly funded by the government and caused the death of a patient named Harold Blauer.Though Larson declined to sanction the government, as the veterans sought, he warned that he would impose sanctions for any "future unjustifiable discovery recalcitrance."Named plaintiffs are the Vietnam Veterans of America, Swords to Plowshare, the Veterans Rights Organization, Bruce Price, Franklin D. Rochelle, Larry Meirow, Eric P. Muth, David C. Dufrane and Wray C. Forrest.

刚刚得到消息,又一位女难友“柳青/balloon”自杀身亡 - 卫星破译脑电波大脑研究工程 - 卫星破译脑电波全球同步大脑研究工程

雪梅难友博文:

  自从我07年5月在网上接触到脑控受害者难友,已经知道好些位因为受到残酷的秘密电子折磨被逼无奈而“自杀”,其中一些人被救活了;一些在最后关头中止了决定,自救得脱;而另一些永远地离开了这世界,毅然决然。噩耗屡屡传来,令人心碎。

  迫害是如此残酷,以至于不能也不忍说他们离开的选择就是错的。可是,我们留下的人要更顽强地选择坚持。永远怀念他们!怀念柳青!受害者关爱小组应该成立,并且要快!

《又一个年轻的生命选择了离开!》http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_6b676e660100nyxw.html


  亲爱的难友,到目前为止,已经有两位难友相继自杀身亡。刘华茗之的自杀,来自加拿大的一位难友一针见血的指出:刘华茗之的自杀,与家人的不理解有着紧密的关系。


  我相信,天下父母心。每一个父母都是疼爱自己的子女的。但是父母仅有爱没有智慧,那么,这种爱,很容易和愚昧在一起,制造悲剧。

  所以,难友们,如果您受害,家人永远无法理解你,你大可不要对你的家人过多的解释。这不仅会破坏整个家庭的和睦,还会导致自己更加被动的处境。

  这位柳青难友给我打过电话,也在QQ上聊过。她好像是个记者吧。曾经的她是多么的理性稳重。如果不是极度绝望和愤怒,他也不会走上这样的绝路。

  亲爱的难友啊,难道,我们的命运天生就应该是悲惨的吗?难道这个世界不会给予我们任何光明和温暖吗?难道我们都要安于现状苟且偷生等待最终悲惨的命运夺走我们最后的生命吗?

  亲爱的难友啊,大家行动起来,一起开博客写日记,一起论坛发帖,一起找专家学者作家能找的都要找,我们,总之,一定要做点什么。我们不能认命,绝不能认命!!!

拒绝黑暗,拒绝残酷,还我光明!!

我们要关爱,我们要人道,我们要幸福!!!

一起呐喊吧!!!一直到世界听见我们为止!!!

My latest correspondence

Comment by Jay Sinn 1 day ago "Why not start talking in language that befits the situation? How about public tranparency and legal oversight of IRBs? The problem I have is few seem to speak the language befiting the problem. I can't really access the latest top secret weapon but I can access the double talk.. . I can even learn to rattle it off right back when needed.... " Thanks Jay -

Yesterday I received in the mail a response from the U.S. Department of Justice apologizing for their delay in answering my latest correspondence and requesting that I follow-up with a more detailed documentation of what they are doing to me. First and foremost I especially mentioned the threats on the life of my son. I spoke of the Medical - Scientific Human Experimentation, R&D that is being done to us in addition to the weapons assaulting and brutalizing us. I will send my Cointelpro Testimonial to document absolute credibility and from there will elaborate on the weapons and experimentation. I must encapsulate it all in a clear, concise way so that hopefully God and the good people who are still in the government will finally listen to us and help us. We'll have to keep our finger's crossed.

How does it work ....and HAARP

I´ll try in my words, to explain to those at this community, that does not understand that these harassments we (almost everyone)are suffering from. It´s not done by some local police or the next door people. It´s the governments all around the world, working with big universities and science institutes and high frequencies research programs. To achieve the knowledge about the secret of our brains, the answers to psychological mysteriums, and to develop new medications and weapons if needed for the future. And to research the yet unknown and unexplored outcome of long term radiation We are all victims, for them being able to make these researches on the human being. We are sacrified for this purpose, and they think it´s maintainable some how, to let thousand and thousands(or even more)people on this planet, suffer in severe physical and psychological pain for the rescue, knowledge and weapon upgrade for the rest of the world and it´s population and it´s future. With out the consent from any of us. In secret. Would they wish this torture for their family, their children, their spouses, their friends? No, And you know what, to avoid the, for every human being that has the ability to feel any empathy what so ever, horror for them, watching the torture that they perform on all of us-24/7, they let the computers do the hard work.

They don´t just torture us, they, themself do not have the courage to watch the monitoring. It must be to awful for them watching it. And lack of time. It´s a race between countries all over the world, finding out the mystery of the brain, and make the artificial intelligence superior. We are monitored by remote, brain-computer-interface.

And, to have the smallest of chance, fighting this, we all need to understand that, again, this is not done by some friend, neighbour, local police or others in closeby area. ( this is all done in a way, by manipulate us in believing that-to disarm us, going in the wrong direction for obstructing the harrasments ) If we can be united in this and then make claims, sues and so on, we might be taken serious and with respect

and hopefully action will be taken in justice.

If your computer and browser are so old and clunky they won't do any of those, then as they said 100 years ago, "Get A Horse!!" )

HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is a high-powered radio transmission research facility jointly operated by the US Navy, Air Force and several universities. Because of the high secrecy surrounding the government HAARP project, many theories have risen trying to explain what HAARP is and does. Most of them are simply wild speculations, based on fears about what "they are doing up there." It is the purpose of this article to provide sufficient technical expertise to dispel the mystery.

The above HAARP signal was monitored on 3.39 MHZ and recorded in San Jose, California, about 5,000 miles from the transmitter in Gakona, eastern central Alaska. At that distance and frequency, the signal can only be heard during the night after two F-layer ionospheric skips. Some short-term signal fading over the signal path may be the cause for the variations in the smooth roll-off in the amplitude from 1 sec to the end of the pulse at 6.25 secs. These loud 6 second pulses are usually repeated with a quiet 15 or 30 second pause between pulses.

1. HAARP and ULF (Ultra Low Frequency) Waves

The HAARP sound recording may seem full of static. It is not. The rushing roaring sound of a blow torch is the HAARP signal itself, as shown by the silence or background noise of the receiver at the end of the pulse, and by the clarity of the tones at the beginning. If you wanted to see or hear the ULF (ultra low frequency) waves sent out by the HAARP transmitter, you will be disappointed here.

My receiver is not equipped to record ULF waves in the region of 1 to 10 Hz, and has an audio roll-off in the range of about 30 Hz. And besides, you can't hear or see a 0.9 or 1 Hz signal anyway. It is way below the range of normal human hearing. You need instruments to sense it. A powerful 1 Hz sound would probably be "sensed" as a slow rolling earthquake or a slight rocking motion as on the ocean. Nonetheless, a major component and purpose of the HAARP signal is an audio modulation at the frequency of about 0.9 Hz. And what is that purpose? I'll get to that in a moment.

2. HAARP Interaction with the Atmosphere

The HAARP pulse is primarily divided into two components. The first part is the sections marked A and B on the chart and is the powerful "pre-heat" megawatt pulse aimed upward at the ionosphere just above the HAARP facility. As the radio waves travel up through the atmosphere they have no effect until they reach the ionosphere about 200 kilometers above the earth, which is far above the atmosphere. At that point the waves interact with the ions, which may be electrons, protons or ionized parts of atoms like oxygen, ozone or nitrogen.

Normally the particles in the near vacuum of outer-space in the region of the ionosphere are simply moving randomly in all directions. Some particles may hit each other and re-combine into normal atoms of oxygen and nitrogen, thus simply becoming a part of the atmosphere. Other particles may drift off into space and others may move downward into the thicker atmosphere where they re-combine. Then along comes the HAARP signal.

For about a quarter second during the part A and B of the pulse, the randomly moving ions are now forced to madly race back and forth in the direction of the radio waves at the speed of light or 300,000 kilometers per second, which is real fast. Many of them strike atoms in the upper atmosphere and cause the atoms to also become ionized. Thus the number of ions is suddenly increased. Since the neutral atoms in the atmosphere do not react to the radio waves, they remain more or less stationary, and become "sitting ducks" just waiting to be hit by one of the billions of racing ions all rushing back and forth in response to the HAARP waves.

Even if the neutral atoms don't become ionized, many of them are struck by the fast ions and soon most of the atmospheric atoms high above the HAARP transmitter are also rushing in all directions but not back and forth as are the ions. This sudden increase in the motion of both the atoms and ions in the upper atmosphere is called "ionospheric heating." In fact, the HAARP facility, along with several similar research instruments in Europe and Russia, are in the category of Ionospheric Heaters. But its what HAARP does next during the part C of the pulse which makes HAARP unique.

3. Components of the HAARP Pulse

In portion A of the pulse, identifier tones are sent at frequencies of 360, 1000 and 1700 Hz, with some harmonics at higher frequencies visible on the graph. In part B the tones are 650 Hz with a harmonic at 1300 Hz. On the chart the yellow color indicates a very strong signal, the green indicates a medium strength signal and the blue shows a weak signal.

In part C of the signal there is a continuous tone at 2100 Hz which remains during the whole pulse and sometimes several seconds afterward. There is also a much weaker tone around 2500 Hz during all of the pulse. And then there is all that green/yellow stuff at the bottom, sloping upward to the right during all of part C. What the heck is that? To explain that we need to look at the HAARP antenna itself.

haarppix1.jpg
fig 2. HAARP Antenna Arrary.
Showing the crossed beams of the circularly polarized antennas.
The HAARP "antenna farm" consists of 48 towers, soon to be 180, about 25 meters tall and each is topped with a pair of crossed beams in a north-south and east-west direction. The actual radiating parts of the antenna include those wires dangling from the ends of the beams.
By sloping the wires and hooking all the antennas together they act as one large single antenna covering 33 acres which can transmit in the north-south or east-west direction.

4. HAARP Circular Polarization

If HAARP only used the north-south beams then the electrons and protons in the ionosphere would race madly in the north-south direction. And likewise if the radio waves move in the east-west direction, so would the ions. What HAARP does is on each portion of the transmitter cycle it switches from the east-west to the north-south beams and back again.

If you could see the radio waves rising from the antenna they would appear to be spiraling or "cork-screwing" upward. This is called "circular polarization" of the radio signal. This is not uncommon, since all commercial FM stations use circular polarization to send horizontal signals to home roof antennas and vertical signals to automobile antennas.

But HAARP is not broadcasting to homes or autos, nor is it switching on each cycle. No, the HAARP signal is corkscrewing upward at a rate of, TADA!, about 0.9 Hz. And why is that? By corkscrewing the signal, the ions in the upper atmosphere do not just race madly back and forth, instead they move in BIG circles. And you can get the most ions running around the "race course" just above HAARP if you make them have a "lap time" of about once per second.

5. Optimizing the HAARP Rotation

What determines the optimum "lap time" is something called the plasma density and is related to the temperature, number of ions, number of neutral atoms in the ionosphere, and some other factors I won't mention here. (Note: For more information on plasma density consult any of the many graduate texts on plasma physics. Also, I have oversimplified the relation between the 0.9 Hz signal and the "lap time." It is not my purpose here to provide a complete description of ionospheric cyclotronic interactions.)

By making the ions, both electrons and protons, move in big circles they each become little electromagnets with a north and south pole. At the latitude of HAARP in Gakona, Alaska the earth's magnetic field lines are nearly vertical. So if the HAARP circular polarization is either clockwise or counter-clockwise you can make the ions racing around at 0.9 Hz either be attracted to the earth's magnetic north pole or repelled. If the circling ions are attracted, then they would simply spiral downward toward the earth's north pole and run into the denser atmosphere and might produce a very weak aurora, hence the name High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. That's all very interesting but its not exactly the real purpose of HAARP.

6. HAARP as a "Particle Gun"

If the HAARP signal rotates so the ions circle around with their north poles pointing downward, then they are repelled by the earth's magnetic north pole and are shot out into the vacuum of space at nearly the speed of light. Wow, you mean HAARP is a particle gun? You betcha! The largest one around, sorta.

But its not really a "gun" because you can't aim it at anything. The particles simply shoot off into space. But they are still spiraling and are magnetic, and as a result they follow along the earth's magnetic field. In less than half a second they arrive at the earth's south pole. There, they don't even touch the atmosphere but are caused to spiral more tightly by the earth's converging magnetic field lines, until they are made to flip over and are shot right back to the north pole, all in less than a second. Thus HAARP is really a particle injector which fires billions of ions into the "magnetic bottle" of the earth's magnetosphere, where they remain trapped for a long time.

7. Uses of the HAARP Particle Injection Device

So what can you do with a particle injector like HAARP? According to the original patent design, this device could be used to produce a thick blanket of fast particles in the region of the magnetosphere which would knock out any electronic controls on, or possibly completely destroy, any space vehicle which flew through it. This was most interesting in the 1980's when the patent was filed and even in 1990 when the US government decided to build HAARP. At that time the main nuclear threat was the USSR and any missile from Russia aimed at the US would need to pass through the magnetosphere over the north pole.

The Brazen Bull

Once casted into the bull. A torturing device that a system desires to recreate in the mind. They are driving to receive the same power as practiced by Roman Greek Rulers that used a furnace to cast families into. They are entertained by the cries of the needy and get a thrill of ignoring the faithful. They follow their genealogy's and are ecstatic to find that they are close of kin and they could just feel it in their veins. A vanity so detestable in the eyes of the Lord. A practicing rejoice that they had found their will to follow for their enchanting life of their divination. They grow meaner and colder and are never warmed by the grace of the light that we die for and are with. The light of sacrifice the life of eternity our Christ the God that remained.

我的受害经历

以下非典型事件,纯属事实,如有雷同,实属事实。

天啊,我还能笑出来,对着镜子里的自己,那张写着我是神经病的脸。是的,没人相信我。在神顾及不到的角落,罪恶展开。。。

以下内容,为求帮助,真名示人。

我叫王戈,就读于湖南大学,软件工程专业,爱笑。大学的生活,于我来说,大部分时间是有趣快乐的,如果没有意外。我年轻故我张扬,也许是由于性格的原因,我着着实实的招惹了一群人。

然后,噩梦的开始,我开始出现了幻听,她在耳边的声音“我那么爱你,你怎么不爱我”之类的。还有一些我无法忍受的侮辱语言,及其室友嘲笑的声音。我的情绪开始出现反常,很低落,无法控制,会自杀,高兴不起来。神经衰弱,失眠。那种声音,在左耳,有时会振的耳骨发热。我自己都没想过,电影中的情节出现,她们知道我的所有。

爸爸妈妈接我回了家,并向学校,警方反映了情况。警方面前,她们完全否认了自己说过的话,只是说什么都不知道。

回家以后,我继续被骚扰着,我开始说服自己产生了精神类疾病。因为这些事情,我自己都没办法相信。可是,治疗的过程并不顺利。后来,通过网络,发现了国内有很多的受害者。很多人都是得罪了有势力的人。

我又相继认识了国内电磁界有名的专家,爱好者,得知,国内有人从英国,法国走私了一些微波武器(用在反恐上,但不是很贵)。可以事前采集了人的脑电波,热辐射,呼吸频率,做系数,将骚扰信息混在个人的脑电波中定向伤害,远距离也可以。


我很无助!如果你还算善良,如果你爱好了解这些,如果你能帮助我,如果你想多认识一个朋友。。。帮助我吧!对朋友,我很不错的:)

An increased number of members...

Every day there is one or two new members joining the Peacepink. It really shows how many in the world out there are under attack from this horrific, evil and none, what so ever human treatment of innocent world citizens.

We have an urge problem, we need to work together, because together we are stronger. Now, I´m not much of the "american mentality"(no offense)-that "listen all, world can be a better place if we just pray or something else"..No offense-again, but praying is not going to help. I do believe in God and I respect each an others religion and their belief. But we have work to do ourself here. One of the main aims for the perps is to not give us the energy and the strategy to find a way of work effective together. They make us unfocused, thinking that-someone else has to do this or that...But no one else is going to do anything unless you, by yourself contribute. There isn´t going to be an end on this nightmear if we just sit here in front of our computers, make complains (that really are justified by the experiences we all have, no doubt about that) and do nothing more. I´m trying my own way, I´m sending info to newspapers and TV shows. I also have send letters to the EU parliament regarding human rights, and the Ethic Committeé in Sweden.

The moore letters the governments receive from each of us, the higher pressure to respond to it. I know there are several of you here, sending letters and claims, but we have to organize it. If we for instance keep a logg here, of all letters that´ve been sent and by whom. Then, by contacting the government, they cannot deny of having complains from others or never heard about this abuse. We have from those letters and this logg proofe of that many thousands of people are claiming for their human rights, and reporting the same kind of abuse, and none is done by the government-yet.

I do think we need to put a list with each of us, mentioned by name and character of abuse, when it started and nationality and so on. (this is for having a common list when claiming governments attention)

I think we need to have some sort of "board" here. I think that you americans really have an advantage here, you are quite a few victims at this community, compared to us, that live in Europe or other parts spread out of the world, you have the ability to come together! (I know it can be large distances, but there seeme to be a lot of you in quite the same area)You can met IRL and that´s alot easier if we are talking about coming together as a group and organize it.

We cannot sit for another 30-40 years, waiting for any secrets documents being released, as those who were targeted in the 50-70´s had to do. We have no time to lose.

Some people - some of us - Can naturally sense foreign thoughts andfeelings. Empathy is a prosess when we can go into an emotional statewhat is expressed or have seen on others. The psychology science sadthet you cannot feel the emotion of the others! This is a lie. You canwith some differencies (you know that the feeling is not yours, you areconsious about if you have not or have got the same problem).
Mind reading is natural.
Carl G. Jung wrote some interesting notes about this subject inMemories, Dreams, Thoughts.
Some early kopt christian monk Antonius father withdrawn in the desertcould sense the thought of those who where coming to see him from longdistences.
Ken Wilbur wrote that we are toghether deep inside of us (think ofJung's concept of collective unconsious) like on our hands: we are thefingers but we are connected together just forgotten about theconnection and in our mind is only the top of the finger.
Also look up Herbert Hellinger's notion of morphogenetic fields.

I have special abilities (wich are not very special as you think) wichcan be called as special sensitivity, or hypervigilance, or extremeemphaty, or even mind reader skills. I am telling you: everyone is amindreader. There is no thought wich does belong to you.
These devil guys are devil, but by using these thechnologies they arelifting us up on a higher or deeper understandig of ourselfs. And theycannot make the mind reading process one way process. When they readsomeone's mind that target person can recieve information from thereader's mind. This is something what they really did not expected. Nowthey have to use "firewalls" persons who are hypnotised and do not knowabout they're real goals. As a target survives a few attepmpts, wich isabout to get him/her insane or suicide, he/she gets stronger and getsinformations and knowledge about them.
I have gathered some of these infos. When they realize that the targetis too "smart" they have to use firewalls all he time. So these guys(firewalls) become targets too. And so on. And our community is growing.And a lot of us dies.

Belmont's Ethical Malpractice

ResearchZachary M. Schrag, 11/30/2010Belmont's Ethical Malpractice(Research) Permanent link“The language of the biomedical model lends itself to ethical malpractice." With these words, Albert Reiss condemned the 1978 Belmont Report. The report, he complained in a 1979 essay, reduced "people" to "subjects" and required procedures – such as risk-benefit analysis – that were inapplicable to research that did not resemble medical experiments.Reiss was not a random critic. Rather, he was a prominent sociologist who himself had participated in the 1976 conference at Belmont House that would give the report its name, and who had been hired as a consultant by the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research, the report's creator. But throughout the discussions that led to the report, the members of that commission ignored objections put forth by Reiss and other social scientists. The result was a report that is a notable achievement in the exploration of the ethical challenges raised by medical research, but which serves as a poor guide to research in the social sciences and humanities.There is nothing grossly wrong with the Belmont Report's "basic ethical principles": respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. But, as bioethicist Albert Jonsen – one of the authors of the report – told me in a 2007 interview in San Francisco those terms are "fairly vapid . . . [They] hardly rise above common sense notions." Rather, the problem lies in the meatier "Applications" section, which demands informed consent, an assessment of risk and benefits, and fair outcomes in the selection of research subjects. Drawn from the traditions of medical research, these terms are often inappropriate or simply inapplicable to much research in other areas. Yet the Belmont Report does not explicitly limit the application of those terms to medical and psychological experimentation.The reasons for this mismatch lies in the history of the National Commission, which I discuss in my book, Ethical Imperialism: Institutional Review Boards and the Social Sciences, 1965-2009. Congress established the commission with eleven members, five of them researchers. Of these five, three were physicians, two were psychologists, but none were scholars in the social sciences and humanities. As a result, the commissioners did not themselves explore the ethics of those fields, and they were slow to heed the advice of their own expert consultants who challenged the concepts that would eventually appear as the Belmont applications.In his report to the commission, Reiss warned that many of the assumptions of the "bio-medical model" did not apply to sociological work. For one thing, that model assumed that investigators were in full control, something much truer in a medical clinic than in a telephone survey, where the subject could always hang up. Second, it assumed that the investigator began with a fixed list of procedures, hardly the case in much of social science. Third, it assumed that all harms were to be minimized, not the case in "muckraking sociology or social criticism."Another consultant, law professor Charles Fried, insisted at the Belmont conference that "freedom of inquiry" should be a “very important, basic underlying principle” in any report. Other social scientists, not employed by the commission, offered their own warnings. For example, sociologist Carl Klockars described the writing of one of his books and noted, "I am not aware of any . . . weighing of risks and benefits ever occurring."The commissioners and their staff ignored such arguments throughout their monthly meetings in 1976 and 1977, while the Belmont Report was being drafted. Only in 1978, in the last months of the commission’s four-year existence, did they voice their own doubts about the universal applicability of their work. At the February 1978 meeting, Jonsen commented on a near-final draft: "There is nothing in here that tells us why we are about to make a great big step which we have made from the beginning. Namely, why ought the thing that we are calling research be subject to what we call review?"At the next month’s meeting, Chairman Kenneth Ryan, a physician, noted that the commission's September 1977 report on research involving children had been "worked out – largely in a biomedical model, if you will, biomedical and behavioral model," and now federal officials were unsure if it was supposed to apply to education research. Robert Cooke, another physician, confessed his own uncertainty: "I think that some things are applicable, and I suspect some are not." In the April meeting, Ryan lamented that "The Commission, over its long time, has not really had an opportunity to spend adequate time, on the social science research problem."Donald Seldin, the third physician-commissioner, argued at the March meeting that the Belmont Report should be a "document which deals with handling specific human beings from a medical point of view." He was supported at the same meeting by staffer Stephen Toulmin, who argued that "the basic idea that we are concerned with [is] the protection of individual research subjects, who, after all, are the people who are exposed to the experimentation," and by staffer Bradford Gray, who warned against forcing sociologists to "respect" noxious groups like the Ku Klux Klan. But by the time these debates took place – in the spring of 1978 – the commission was closing up shop, its staff departing. No one had the time or energy to rewrite the report.The result was a report that is maddeningly imprecise in its intended scope. True, the report offers a definition of research: "an activity designed to test an [sic] hypothesis, permit conclusions to be drawn, and thereby to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge (expressed, for example, in theories, principles, and statements of relationships)." But that definition appears in a section devoted to allowing physicians to offer innovative therapies without running into regulatory requirements. It does not distinguish scholarly research from journalism (as Gray repeatedly begged the commission to do). Nor does it distinguish behavioral science from social experimentation; a hastily drafted footnote to the report concedes that the commissioners were stumped by that one.Indeed, the definition of research in the Belmont Report does not even match the definition in the commission's report on institutional review boards, which does not mention the testing of hypotheses. This latter version became the definition used by today's regulations.In the absence of an adequate definition, one must find the true meaning of the Belmont Report in the medical language it uses. It mentions Nazi biomedical experiments, "medical or behavioral practice," the Hippocratic Oath, childhood diseases, poor ward patients, the Tuskegee syphilis study, the withdrawal of health services, "populations dependent on public health care," and vaccination as areas of concern. It cites work in medical research ethics: a statement by Claude Bernard, the Nuremberg Code of 1947, and the Helsinki Declaration of 1964. It also cites the ethical code of the American Psychological Association. By contrast, the report makes no mention of the research or ethical standards of fields outside of the therapeutic areas of medicine and psychology, or any examples of ethical missteps in social science.In a 2007 interview with me in his Georgetown University office, Tom Beauchamp, a commission staffer and one of the key authors of the Belmont Report, conceded that the commission had failed to explore the ethics of research outside of medicine and psychology. "You cannot do good work in [professional ethics] unless you have a pretty good understanding of the area that you're concerned with,” he said. “For example, if you're into the ethics of genetics, if you don't understand genetics, you can't do it. And so on. Did we do that [good work] on the commission when it came to the social sciences? Absolutely not."Albert Jonsen concurred, telling me in San Francisco, "We really should have made much clearer distinctions between the various activities called research." He explained that "the principles of the medical model are beneficence – be of benefit and do no harm. I simply don't think that that applies to either the intent or the function of most people doing research."It is not surprising that the National Commission paid so little attention to such fields as sociology, anthropology, linguistics, political science, history, and journalism. Aside from a few brief remarks, Congress had not taken testimony about or expressed interest in these disciplines, nor had it required the commission to investigate them. It is surprising, and disheartening, that the commission did not acknowledge its lack of expertise in the problems of social science research and decline to make recommendations not grounded in careful investigation. Sound ethical advice requires some humility.Zachary M. Schrag is an associate professor in the Department of History and Art History at George Mason University and author of Ethical Imperialism: Institutional Review Boards and the Social Sciences, 1965-2009.http://www.thehastingscenter.org/Bioethicsforum/Post.aspx?id=4999&blogid=140Because sharing is caring.

A Petition Against the Military and Intelligence Agencies' Use of Organized Stalking and Electronic Torture
789 Signatures gmap.png
14698.gif
arrow_blue_down.gif
Published by freedomfchs on Jan 02, 2010
Category: Human Rights
Target: United States Congress
Background (Preamble):
Since at least the early 1950's, the US government has been secretly researching mind control technologies. And although there were a few volunteers, the vast majority of experiments were conducted without the subjects' knowledge or consent, many of which were brutal and even fatal.

After Congress was alerted to these abuses, such as the CIA's MKULTRA Project, and hearings were held in the late '70's, these programs were officially dismantled. However, in reality, they continued unabated according to government whistleblower accounts and the experiences of targeted individuals(TI's). And now, nearly 60 years later, the technology has evolved to a point where most people would find unimaginable. Because of the secrecy surrounding these programs, government agencies will not acknowledge the existence or use of their invasive practices and technologies, which are designed to avoid detection or blame for the offending parties. The elements of power, control, and money have come together to make these instruments some of the most diabolical that man has ever created and have destroyed the lives and livelihoods of many thousands of law-abiding American citizens. And its victims so far have had nowhere to turn for help.

We believe that Congress must face its responsibilities to its constituents whose rights to privacy are being violated and once again commence an investigation and hearings into the covert activities and abusive practices of the US intelligence agencies.
Petition:
To: United States Congressional Members

We, the following petition signers, and United States citizens, believe that we have become victims of covert harassment in a variety of forms, including: electronic and electromagnetic (EM) device assaults by the use of exotic EM weapons of the military(1) and intelligence agencies, organized stalking, computer tampering, mail tampering, vehicle tampering, workplace mobbing, and surreptitious home entry and break-ins.

Some of this may be unauthorized human subject experimentation. Directed Energy Weapons exposure occur in a manner, which leads us to believe is unauthorized human testing by the military/intelligence agencies. This is specifically prohibited in U.S. law and by the Nuremberg Code, internationally.

Subjection to this harassment has many unpleasant and negative results. Some victims have found themselves isolated from friends and family, experiencing the loss of familial comforts and affection. Many have experienced economic deprivation, and more severe deprivations.

We believe that these invasive intrusions into our personal lives may well be caused or related to, acts of government intelligence agencies, corporations, contractors as 3rd parties acting under the authority of government intelligence agencies, and/or individuals, with malicious intent.

We, the signers and organized groups, through various means have found each other and realize that we have many commonalities of experience, the most pertinent being, the awareness of these activities, perpetrated by covert harassment groups. They seem to be networked nationwide, and perhaps, worldwide. Many may represent a rogue group, in our own government.

These groups seem to have targeted victims for physical, emotional, and psychological trauma. Many citizens have experienced very negative impacts as a result of this harassment.

We have come together and formed working groups, to investigate these acts, seek legislation, to foster awareness, and an end to these described abuses, which occur using secret, highly-advanced surveillance and exotic military technologies. (1)

We call upon Congress and local governments to listen to our complaints, support our very real concerns, and convene hearings, on this unlawful harassment. We are also asking our legislators to draft legislation, and if necessary, educate themselves and the public about the ever-increasing threats to our personal freedoms, by these covert groups, possibly acting under color of law, but actually in legal violation of it, using technologies which may be yet unknown to the public.

The Fourth Amendment of our Constitution guarantees us freedom from unnecessary search and seizure. Harassment by these electromagnetic devices, and these individuals, is an unnecessary search and denies us this right.

We are therefore petitioning the United States Congress to commence an immediate investigation, hearings, and legislation regarding the military and intelligence agencies' use of electronic torture and organized stalking on law-abiding American citizens.

Thank you for your attention and concern to this urgent and distressing matter.


Sincerely,

(Signature Pages Follow)

CIA torture and abuse of rights

Dear Distinguished Member of Congress,

The CIA is a Federal agency which operates above the law on domestic soil and engages in extreme, widely unknown terror campaigns against American citizens utilizing a vast array of military caliber psychological warfare tactics, borderline torture and in some cases even murder. Without the proper civilian oversight and transparency, rogue elements within this very powerful and far reaching agency will continue to operate with a total disregard for both domestic and international laws. Our Constitutional, civil and basic human rights are jeopardized whenever a few holding such vast power are overseen and scrutinized solely by like-minded individuals. The terror they have managed to unleash against an untold number of American citizens on domestic soil, presently labeled as 'Targeted Individuals', cannot continue to be ignored. Or simply written off as overactive imaginations and/or mental illness.

A common tactic of the CIA is to make a victim of their abuses appear paranoid, delusional or mentally unstable in order to discredit the victim when complaints arise about the horrific circumstances the victim is forced to endure as part of their daily existence. The historian Lord Acton is quoted as saying that 'power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely'. As a "targeted individual" experiencing this horrific and shameful abuse of power on a daily basis for over 4 long, agonizing years I implore you to take the necessary measures to reign in this rogue agency, their outright criminal tactics and cavalier operatives who believe the laws of our country are beneath them.

Torture in America cannot continue to be ignored. State-sponsored terrorism against American civilians being deployed by an arm of our military under the guise of "national security" or an “ongoing criminal investigation” cannot be tolerated in a free & just society. To simply ignore this ongoing abuse is the equivalent of condoning the action. It is time to make permanent and wide sweeping changes to an agency that is rapidly spiraling out of control, notorious worldwide for their abuses and become so arrogant as to believe themselves above the law. Our country is too great to allow a segment(s) of our government to conduct themselves in this manner. If vast changes are not made now, then when will the next opportunity arise?

Personally, I have had the unfortunate occasion over the last 4+ years to experience a vast array of psychological warfare tactics too numerous to list, including but not limited to, intimidation, unimaginable invasion of privacy and a constant "negative environment" campaign which has been given the name of 'Organized Stalking' by its victims. All presumably done under the premise that no one can survive in a constantly negative environment. I have also been subjected daily to unrelenting physical torture, poisoning and attempted murder through various forms of invisible, silent, military-grade 'directed energy weapons' (D.E.W.) - from my symptoms I believe I have been targeted primarily by directed overexposure to various electromagnetic radiation. These ongoing attacks occurring while my wife and 3 very young, developing children are present, primarily at our home where I work full time.

My name is xxx, I am a licensed Real Estate Broker, 37 years old, a husband and father of 3 young children. My wife is a graduate of UC Berkeley where she received her undergraduate degree in Psychology. My wife and I have been together for 18 years, since we were both teenagers.

This harassment campaign, in its current frenzy, began over 4 years ago while living in Concord, California and working at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Orinda, California. While heavily involved in a mentor relationship/business partnership with an older gentleman, Mr. WILLIAM K OTTMANN {3815 Northridge Drive, Richmond, CA}, he made several comments which led me to believe our business relationship may have been more than just coincidence. Statements such as “nobody can survive in a constantly negative environment” stood out as peculiar coming from a real estate agent. During our close relationship I believe I was “steered” to purchase this home in Concord, California at which time I became the new neighbor of Mr. LEONARD WILLIAMS {1132 Victory Lane, Concord, CA 94520}. I would not be surprised if one of these gentlemen, likely both, have very close ties to our federal law enforcement community and possibly the CIA.

Approximately one year after moving into this home I began hearing extended episodes of jet engine noise above our home on a daily basis (where none was present previously) and became aware of what appeared to be a very overt stalking and harassment campaign which quickly transformed into the living nightmare described above. I have been offered no assistance from law enforcement despite numerous complaints reported to both local and Federal authorities.

The ongoing, daily electromagnetic radiation attacks are overwhelmingly targeted at my chest region, primarily my heart. Predominantly occurring while at our home or in another relatively confined location where my movements are generally restricted (i.e. movie theatre, restaurant, hotel room, etc). The symptoms of the attacks are comprised of a sensation of pressure, slight burning, moderate-to-sharp pain in the heart region, a “charged” sensation in my chest and less frequently a sensation of my heart seemingly skipping a beat. These attacks have been occurring numerous times throughout every day for the last 4 years, often lasting for 30 minutes to an hour, and sometimes longer. I am awoken every night at around 3 am and usually another time at around 6 am with the same sensations as described above. Upon me getting up, the symptoms cease. These symptoms are generally not present while outside of our home, where I work full-time and have 3 young, developing children present. I would have logically been concerned of a natural, health related ailment if the symptoms also occurred while outside of my home; driving, traveling, shopping, etc or if I had other signs indicative of a heart problem, such as shortness of breath, weakness, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, sweating, etc. It appears that the technology being used against me requires the victim to be relatively stationary. Other than these described symptoms, I am perfectly healthy and have not had any health related issues throughout my life. I fear these ongoing attacks may be a slow-kill assassination attempt with the desired outcome of cancer, heart disease or sudden pulmonary failure. Even more concerning, are the long-term effects this constant overexposure to radiation will have on my young, developing children later in their lives.

Rather than go into further detail of the ongoing abuses I have been subjected to for over 4 years, which has persisted through 2 relocations, first to another County and most recently to another State, you can find a full account of the terrorism tactics being deployed against me daily, and countless other Americans, online at www.TorturedinAmerica.org.

Please take whatever measures deemed necessary to prevent the injustices described in this letter from happening to another US citizen.

Respectfully Submitted,
