This essay originally appeared in Conscious Choice Magazine.

 

Recently, while at a Phoenix, Arizona conference on UFOs, crop circles, alternative archaeology and other such fringe matters, I encountered, to my surprise, a true American hero. A straightforward and unassuming man whose father was a well-respected Alaskan congressman, Dr. Nick Begich has been waging a long and often lonely campaign to raise the public’s awareness of the extraordinary perils and potentials of new technologies that can act upon the brain and influence our cognitive and somatic capacities, often without us knowing about them. At first, many of the military initiatives and scientific research projects described by Dr. Begich sound like science fiction — the stuff of Philip K. Dick’s most paranoid visions — but they are quite real, and in many cases already available. A huge trove of documents, articles and public testimonies assembled by Begich’s team can be found at the website of The Lay Institute.

Confronted with this information, I was shocked at first, and wondered why it is almost never discussed in the media or public sphere. My next reaction was to want to run away from thinking about it ever again. Unfortunately, as Begich makes clear, the only protection we have against misuse of these discoveries is an increase in public knowledge and debate about them. The legislative system we inherited from the 18th Century was not set up to deal with the current scenario, where rapid-fire developments in technology and science have immediate political meaning and potentially great social consequences. It is up to civil society — and us as individuals — to step into this breach. The consequences of not doing so may be severe.

Dr. Begich began his work studying the HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program) Project, an array of radio frequency transmitters in Alaska designed to affect the ionosphere, an atmospheric sheath that protects the Earth from solar rays. Beyond potentially influencing missile guidance systems and changing weather patterns, HAARP can also be used, potentially, to affect the brainwaves of civilians over a large geographical area, causing inexplicable agitation or aggression by beaming ELF (extremely low frequency) waves or high-frequency pulses beyond the threshold of our auditory capacity. Dr. Begich objects to HAARP because of this capacity, and because it changes the delicate ionosphere. Although we don’t know much about the ionosphere, we are treating it as an arena in which to “plug and play” our experimental technologies.

In the last decades, a huge amount has been learned about the electromagnetic environment of the human brain and body. This knowledge, as Dr. Begich discusses in his latest book, Controlling the Human Mind: The Technologies of Political Control or Tools for Peak Performance (Earthpulse Press, 2006), could lead to tremendous advances in healing and in methods of self-development, or to weapons that “pierce the very integrity of the human being.” Potentially, memory, emotion and cognitive function can be transformed by these technologies.

Dr. Begich isolates a spooky trend in military thought that sees the human being reduced to the status of a “data-processing system” that can be affected or incapacitated depending on the energy inputs it receives. As one article, “The Mind Has No Firewall,” from Parameters, the U.S. Army War College Journal, put it, “The body is capable not only of being deceived, manipulated, or misinformed but also shut down or destroyed — just as any other data-processing system.” Electromagnetic or acoustic energy waves can alter the individual’s “hardware system” and manipulate the “data” stored in their psyche. According to Dr. Begich, technologies already exist that can “shift a person’s emotions using remote electromagnetic tools,” and “transfer sound in a way where only the targeted person” hears a voice in their head.

Interestingly, developments in these areas could lead to breakthroughs in healing, to tools that greatly increase cognitive function and even amplify “abilities of individuals for anomalous phenomena” — psychic capacities — according to a military analyst. Biofeedback techniques have been proven to accelerate skills-based learning and to successfully treat children with ADD. Use of “binaural beats” can harmonize relationships between the two hemispheres of the brain, while tools focusing on the energy fields of the body can augment acupuncture and other treatment modalities.

Begich calls for an end to government secrecy about study of mind and behavior control techniques. He notes that the area of mind modification technologies is “changing so rapidly that the science is being formed faster than the applications can be fully recognized.” Considering the enormous potential of these tools to help liberate the mind or control it at a level beyond anything previously known, the U.S. public should demand to have a rigorous “precautionary principle” put in place.

Philip K. Dick is great fun to read, but few of us would want to live in one of his maniacal, paranoid dystopias. Unfortunately, the powerful knowledge we are now accessing about the intricate workings of our energetic systems could lead in that direction, if we don’t take action.

the role of technology

these machines may be capable of healing, but does that mean we should encourage their use? i understand that the potential for good is there. they already exist, but are they the best avenue? i guess my question is what should the role of technology be in upcoming years and in the distant future? it's similar to the internet. obviously, they're both immensely powerful tools with the ability to create much needed change, but they embody so much of the problem at the same time. how do we juggle this?

Phil K Dick and gnostic beamer

funny, last night i was on RealitySandwich, i was flipping around all the different posts i been reading in my head, and guess who just popped into my mind?....riiiiiight! PHIL K.DICK.And yes i have heard things in my head, voices,(like a Goddess)sounds but not for some years now, (well there was that chanting, singing female voice, about a year ago).

I have to say that of all the sci fi that i read Phil K. is the one that prolly made the deepest impression.Not to mention the Blade Runner movie. Ok, as far as using technology for healing, well, hey, what was that thing Doc McCoy used? hmmmm? now do you see? And i agree that thinking about the use of this type technology as a weapon is like out of sight and out of mind.I HATE CHEMTRAILS!!!!! catch ya on the rebounding beam!

Diet coke in my head

I don't know if this relates but in 1986 for two weeks I woke every morning at exactly the same time-- 6:00 am-- with the Diet Coke jingle by Elton John and Paula Abdul singing in my head. Spooky. And gross!

EM emissions controlling our thoughts

Guess what? Our thoughts have been under control of EM beams since the advent of radio and TV. This has suited the needs of big business (thus the government) for a long time, but is seriously losing traction. They need another way.

With the advent of remote control mute buttons and the shift to digital through the Internet, TIVO and ad filtering, where is the growth path? Why, back to analog of course. Only this time the EM (or scalar) transmission technology is not visible. It can be closely controlled. Will it be used to incite feelings of hate leading to war which leads to increased profits or will it be used to induce feelings of love that lead to such things as increased population and reduced spending and debt?

Private Zippo Saves the Village

"Will it be used to incite feelings of hate leading to war which leads to increased profits or will it be used to induce feelings of love that lead to such things as increased population and reduced spending and debt?"

Ah, the double bind of perfected nihilism: we can only hope to save the village by destroying it. This is the paradox that shows us our civilization has run its course, and is finished. We cannot make a move, we have lost our nerve - checkmate.

 Let the dead bury the dead, as the JC saying goes - instead of expiring, let us aspire: focus on the birth not the death.

Thinking about it as I type, the ability to distinguish life from death may be the one crucial ability of our times.

the president's analyst

i like to listen to a music station that plays late 60's music on iTunes because that is what i listened to as a teenager, psychedelic sounds...but they also play some of the commercials that some of the bands were roped into.Back then it seemed innocent i guess.But Mic Jagger singing for rice cripsies?

When i was talkin about voices, i was talking about like poetic kind of messages.

 

yikes...

so...if there exists technology that can control emotions on geographical scales, that begs the question...are they already in use? it's not hard to imagine, and i think we all know that the government running the usa has carried out schemes on the clandestine tip (while victimizing its own citizens) in order to advance its unscrupulous agendas. where can we find out more about the particulars of this horrid technology, and from accurate sources?

www.organelle.org

www.truetao.org

luckily,

our minds do come with a firewall, and as most battles between human's with higher-mental abilities and mechanical devises have shown; technology is indeed quite brittle.

take action before these tools are employed? too late...

too tired to explain, but i strongly recomend reading the following documents on this subject:

Thanks for the link to the Burroughs article, and the intriguing eng7007.

However, i advise caution with the reactor-core .... a religious propaganda site.

The Sound of Soothing Haarp Music

As I understand it, HAARP was only recently switched on. There are some curious patents related to the project, here's a link to one that has the chemtrail watchers buzzing: http://www.bariumblues.com/haarp_patent.htm

Testing military theories on the cud chewing public is of course not without precedent. The UK Ministry of Defense released potentially harmful micro-organisms into vast areas of Britain to test the country's capacity to withstand Soviet germ warfare attacks, according to documents recently released:

"One chapter of the report, 'The Fluorescent Particle Trials', reveals how between 1955 and 1963 planes flew from north-east England to the tip of Cornwall along the south and west coasts, dropping huge amounts of zinc cadmium sulphide on the population. The chemical drifted miles inland, its fluorescence allowing the spread to be monitored. In another trial using zinc cadmium sulphide, a generator was towed along a road near Frome in Somerset where it spewed the chemical for an hour."

and:

" 'Tacit approval for simulant trials where the public might be exposed was strongly influenced by defence security considerations aimed obviously at restricting public knowledge. An important corollary to this was the need to avoid public alarm and disquiet about the vulnerability of the civil population to BW [biological warfare] attack.' "

edit: It's truly amazing that the Lay Institute's work isn't more widely known. Reading through some of the papers collected there is deeply disturbing and eye opening. Compared to this stuff, Stephen Greer seems like small fry.

influence

i think its important to emphasize that these technologies, in many cases they merely influence people's minds, not control.

 

I think that the rhetoric of control masks the fact that some folks vibrate at a higher frequency and can tune this shit out, while other folks who are eating Whoppers and drinking Coke all day while strung out on big Pharm watching the Spectacle Box---of course these folks can be easily controlled like a herd.

 

We are not the herd. We can't stop these technologies, but I can see them turning on the folks who are implementing them, the master's tools rebelling against the master...

 

I can see our consciousness rising above them, and destroying them/or using them for justice

Freedom from Ego

Good point wanderlust.

 

I was wondering today about the similarities between the counter cultural types who gather at such places as RS, and the early christian gnostics. The gnostics considered that they constituted an elite group, spiritually mature, who had experienced the mystery firsthand and therefore could abandon official church doctrine where they saw fit. By nature I am anti-hierarchy, and I don't believe in leaders, but I think there is something in this worth exploring. It could be that those of us who have committed to acheiving some form of freedom from ego may in fact be able to ignore any attempt at magical-technological  manipulation of perception...if you can see through the political spin circus that is the media, its perhaps not a big leap to recognise when we are being assaulted by subtler illusions. Dale Pendell has a great phrase - "ground state calibration," which he considers an essential, fundamental practice for "doctors of the poison path." He means, basically, knowing the core, the origin, and being able to return to it calmly....no matter what miracles and horrors we might have seen on our journeys through the stars. It is with a similar feeling, I guess, that Buddha's first act upon attaining enlightenment is to touch the earth.

Arbitrarily steering our thoughts

It's our part, WE must learn a new awareness-control of our own mind. We have to steer arbitrarily our thoughts in each moment to leave a strangely-influence no area in our awareness. We should send -really arbitrarily - what in love we are able to sent and just receive, what in love was sent. We live in hyper-communication. Maybe It will be a new form of meditation to shield our spirit and this is we should give our energy to because we can't fight against these technologies. To fight is not the right way and energy. If the sender reaches no recipient, it could send, what it wants to, the data will not be processed. Since nearly two years, I look every day "by chance" - at 11.11 a.m. on the clock. First, I was surprised at it. Then, I learned to put my whole good thoughts-force and feelings into one minute and how to send them. I try to send them any time, but this minute is most on concentrated. Where them arrives? I don't know. However I have a good feeling about it.

The true voyage of discovery is not to look for new landscapes but to have new eyes.(Marcel Proust)

HAARP According to a Supposed Remote Viewer

I had a very strange experience in which I met a Native American woman who literally walks across the country every few years or so. This woman, now in her 50s I am guessing, is a Cornell-trained dentist. She told me that her father was in the CIA, and that when she was young, she was trained as a remote viewer. Her ESP potential was tested, but she got every answer in the card set wrong. She learned later that she got every answer in the NEXT card set right, but counted her blessings she was not recruited since, supposedly, she would have been remote viewing somebody one day who would be "heart-attacked" the next day, n'est-ce pas?

 

As someone registered to this site, I was obviously intrigued by her story. She also had a very pleasant demeanor. I asked her about domestic assassinations and HAARP (I did not know the name of it at the time). I wanted to know whether such mind-control radars existed, sort of like the one portrayed in "They Live." As someone who was plagued by extremely negative thoughts (diagnosed as OCD) when I was a kid, I sometimes questioned whether some external mechanism might exist which could possibly be responsible. The idea seemed absurd, but I pride myself on my open mind.

 

 She said that such radio frequencies ARE emitted (whether via HAARP I'm not sure), and they cause the brains of people -- particularly those psychically attuned -- to secrete chemicals that prompt very unpleasant thoughts and anxiety. A sort of "jamming" if you will.

 

Let me say I take all of this with a grain of salt, since I know little about this person, though she seemed ingenuous. But it occurred to me that when one is putting any sort of signal in the atmosphere, it is possible the effects on people may not be well understood or known. Ditto for cell phones, microwaves, "trace" amounts of "acceptable" pollution, etc. Since we know that govt. and industry is willing to routinely lie about or cover up bona fide pandemics brought on by pollution they caused, it is fair to think they might look the other way when a small disparate group is affected by its activities. It's truly shameful that America the Beautiful insists government activities be private and the public's transparent, and not the other way around. Or, to paraphrase V for Vendetta, that the people are afraid of the military-industrial-government complex and not the other way around. As someone who, at fifteen, insisted his parents buy an American car because I was so pseudo-patriotic, it's quite disillusioning to even WONDER if we are not creeping toward totalitarianism. Are we the proverbial frogs in the slowly boiling water, thinking we're getting a pleasant bath, when in fact we're being threatened? How odd that I used to consider such thoughts paranoid, or wing-nuttish, and instead now wonder if I will be marginalized because I have them myself.

Another aspect of our Brave New World . . .

How many of you are familiar with RFIDs, trackable microchips that appear in shoppers cards and, supposedly, our passports? I would not have believed in this stuff until I researched it. I find it very annoying that supermarket chains sell our buying habit information -- and do God knows what else with it. Is it possible that with advent of intensified global energetic change, there a concurrent desire among the egos of the powers that be to control the chaos . . .? I guess I will see you on Tin Foil Hat Street.

Psychic warfare...

...is nothing new. Black adepts have been doing this on the mental and astral planes for ages. It's just extended to the physical plane now. Here's what happened to Nietzsche (chapter 12 of Beelzebub's Tales): "In the contents of this new 'Gospel' also, the 'power-possessing' beings found something which also to their understanding might keep the ordinary beings of their community from hibernating again; and they therefore decided almost immediately to 'get rid of' both the writer and his 'Gospel'- because they had now become quite expert in 'getting rid of' these native 'upstarts' who did not mind their own business. "But for certain reasons they could not treat this writer in that way, and so they got excited, and hemmed and hawed about what they should do. "Some proposed that they should simply shut him up where many 'rats' and 'lice' breed; others proposed to send him to 'Timbuktu'; and so on and so forth; but in the end they decided to anathematize this writer together with his 'Gospel,' publicly and punctiliously according to all the rules, and moreover with the very same 'anathema' with which no doubt they would have anathematized you also if they had learned how you had insulted them.

don't panic!

As long as we are aware of such matters we will be able to protect ourselves from their misuse. I suggest a personal alpha frequency blaster to counter the gov's delta.

Premonitions of HAARP or close encounters?

In November of 1978 I was "suffering the Christ", I was in the throes of an intense shamanic initiation; my being was wrenched inside-out and my psyche was adrift in a stream of archetypal dreams and nightmares. On one specific night, I was weeping and falling apart at the seams because I could hear the cries of marine whales swimming in a blind panic from loud terrifying noises, to them it was like a lightning storm. Whales were beaching themselves in large numbers at that time. My psychic impression was that some sonic device was terrorizing them. I believe my "vision" coincided with the premiere of the HAARP experiments, in 1978, although I am not positive about when HAARP started. Another example: in the winter of 1979, while living in Buffalo, New York, I was shocked to my bones when I discovered a subliminal radio broadcast, (which my speakers were picking up when my phonograph was On, but not playing), it was a fast paced violent stream of consciousness, viscious and evil suggestions...its hard to describe the range of suggestions that were being pumped out as quick as the ear could possibly process the information. Becoming aware of this insiduous signal, made me question my senses and my sanity, it seemed unfathomable that anyone would be using technology with such a hellish bent. I was somewhat relieved when I talked to a friend, who lived in the neighborhood, who had also picked up on this transmission. We laughed in horror, and guessed it was some form of mind control or black magic. Now I suspect it was a mind control project: that by fueling violence and fear, and by raising levels of terror, even subliminally, the perpetrators maintained control of people. I suspect this weird phenomenon might be traced to Nazis research. In order to keep people lined up like good little sitting ducks, remaining silent and obedient, turning their attention to the braindrain which can be the News. Whatever the reason, the strangeness of this transmission makes it hard to do it justice in describing the damning spew of violent suggestions, it was pure evil.

Dr. Nick

Reading this at a late date Daniel P. Just got hooked back up to the interweb after a long low-atus. Thank you for covering Nick Begich's work. If you or any other sandwich eaters (or makers) want to pump it up a notch, check out the work of Dr. Nick's sometime collaborator, Richard Alan (Rick) Miller. He once had a lab down the hall from Jose Delgado, M.D. The fit hits the shan with Rick's revelations (and I ain't talking Mao Shan Taoism). Gotta dig deep on both of their sites (Nick and Rick that is). There are many layers and it is all real. Both men are credible technical and metaphysical researchers and champions of the truth. I put them right up there with Daniel Pinchbeck. Put a weather eye on their work and you will learn to read the chop.

'Data Processing Systems' and the myth of 'ADD'

Hah!! How typical, and predictable that the Military Industrial Complex mindset would see people as 'Data Processing Systems'. Well, IS it better than 'gooks'? whatdyathink? Or any of the other de~humanizing terms they have used against other of their victims round the world in their 'American Foreign Policy'? No. because we are the enemy now. So we are, amongst other terms, such as 'enemy combatants', 'data processing systems'. Ie., just friggin computers to them. In your article you slip in about "children with ADD". Ie., assuming that 'ADD' is a real bona fide disease/disorder? It is not! 'ADD, and ADHD' are made up 'conditions made up by the very same mindset that is on par with this system and its 'protecters, the MIC! Feel me? When a child does not fit into this system. The 'education' system, then most likely they are labelled 'mentally ill' with ADD ADHD, Bipolar, etc. This is not based on any science, but is subjective oppression coming from the 'authorities', and the parents and gaurdians of the children who abide by this authority. They do not want to understand the child, and the awful system they have created and contribute to, that sees people as data processing machines...?

Please checkout Dr John Breeding, Dr Fred Baughman, Thomas Szasz,  to understand what is going on. See that this mode of operation. Of seeing people as 'data processing systems' is actually meaning that millions of children are being forcibly drugged -some very very young--with harmful drugs, and combinations of drugs. Seeing children and people as machines. This myth we have to see through!For the SAKE of the children!!!

Truly frightening...

It's horrifying to be a new parent, while observing the developments taking place across the globe at this stage of human existence. Sometimes you feel frozen with terror. It's then that you realize that this is exactly the point of those in charge at the moment - this frozen state. At some point, everyone has to move past the point of fear and hesitance to do what they can (be it little, or much more). For me, the starting point is emanation. Exude as much positivity as you can, in hopes that it will rub off - commit good acts that will impact those around you; these things help to not only lower your own fears, but also to combat the fears of those around you. When I walk around, and take not of how difficult it is for people, myself included, to make eye contact with others, let alone share words with a stranger, I realize how far everyone has really let it slide. I hope that at some point in my searches, I will discover a way to contribute more and on a grander scale, but for now this seems to be the limit of my reach. My point? Make yourself aware, make yourself conscious. Don't, however, let it consume your days. At some point, you have to take a lot of the time that has been spent in suspicion, doubt and terror, and redirect that towards engaging others in human interaction. Follow your inner voice, your true instinct, and let it help guide you. Fear of mortality, oppression and usurpation of personal authority can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Scientific fooling around

"HAARP IS CHANGING WEATHER PATTERNS"..they must be working overtime today...cause were getting the snowy blast of the century. This must mean, you know...skipping coffee, meals, little sleep..those kind of things. The madd Scientist scenario... hair sticking up all over, eyeballs protruding and frantically working the hightech levers!!! And here most folks think its the end of the world, the end times, all the prophesies coming true...Whats next? The enactment of the end prophesy for 2012?

The idea that somebody else could be messing with your mind could be dangerous in that it could help cause a split within the mind.
