“…this weapons system uses existing communications media. It seeks to map the minds of neutral and enemy individuals and then to change them in accordance with U.S. national interests. It does this on a wide scale, embracing military units, regions, nations, and blocs. In its present form it is called Psychological Operations (PSYOP).”

19 Atmospheric electromagnetic (EM) activity: The Human body communicates internally by EM and electrochemical impulses.

Atmospheric EM activity is regularly altered by such phenomena as sunspot eruptions and gravitational stresses which distort the Earth’s magnetic field.  Under varying external EM conditions, humans are more or less disposed to the consideration of new ideas. MindWar should be timed accordingly.

20 Ionization of the air: An abundance of negative condensation nuclei (“air ions”) in ingested air enhances alertness and exhilaration, while an excess of positive ions enhances drowsiness and depression.

Calculation of the ionic balance of a target audience’s atmospheric environment will be correspondingly useful.

21 Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) waves: ELF waves up to 100 Hz are once more naturally occurring, but they can also be produced artificially (such as for the Navy’s Project Sanguine for submarine communication). ELF-waves are not normally noticed by the unaided senses, yet their resonant effect upon the human body has been connected to both physiological disorders and emotional distortion. Infrasound vibration (up to 20 Hz) can subliminally influence brain activity to align itself to delta, theta, alpha, or beta wave patterns, inclining an audience toward everything from alertness to passivity. Infrasound could be used tactically, as ELF-waves endure for great distances; and it could be used in conjunction with media broadcasts as well.

Through the use of sounds and or microwaves such as described in the Voice to Skull, law enforcement would have the ability to stop violent actions. But, at what cost? In the hands of the wrong person, or in the hands of an unscrupulous government employee or institution, the outcome would be devastating. Even in the hands of the right people, would our freedoms as Americans be compromised? Since the technology has moved from theory to possible development, the time to answer that question is now.
