“Criminal Justice: New Technologies and the Constitution by Technology Assessment of the Congress of the United States (1988)

Explanation by Harlan Girard, veteran, businessman, and targeted individual. (See: I. Bio-electromagnetic Weapons: The Ultimate Weapon (Harlan Girard, 2007); II. A Current US Program of Involuntary Human Experimentation (2005))

“In 1988 the Office of Technology Assessment of the Congress of the United States published a special report titled “Criminal Justice: New Technologies and the Constitution.” The report surveys the new technologies used in the investigation, apprehension, and confinement of criminals and addresses that delicate balance to be maintained between the national interest and individual rights.

As welcome as this report is to those of us who are interested in a government of law rather than of men, it manages to omit any discussion of the use of directed energy weapons from the section on “less than lethal weapons.” For instance, a weapon has been developed to paralyze a person at a distance, through a brick wall, if necessary. This weapon was developed during 1983-4 for use in situations where hostages are being held. A variation of this weapon has been purchased by the Marine Corps, for confusing and disorienting the enemy.

American weapons research has centered on pulsed radiation in the gigahertz frequency band for a very interesting reason. In 1972, the Department of the Army researched Soviet and other foreign literature sources and discovered over 500 studies devoted to the biological effects of SHF – super-high frequency electromagnetic oscillations. (1)

SHF may have potential use as a technique for altering human behavior. …Lethal and non-lethal aspects have been shown to exist. In certain non-lethal exposures, definite behavioral changes have occurred. There also appears to be a change in mammals, when exposed to SHF, in sensitivity to sound, light, and olfactory stimuli.

The significance of this intelligence document in terms of the medical experiments commissioned by the Central Intelligence Agency since 1976 is that emphasis in this report is placed on influencing individuals as opposed to groups.

Secondly, this report is a trend study and therefore contains statements predicting Soviet knowledge and capabilities for influencing human behavior up to fifteen years ahead, or 1987. It foreshadows the enormous effort put into behavior control experiments employing the use of masers and microwave beam weapons on involuntary human subjects during the Reagan-Bush regime.

Thirdly, despite the report’s title. Controlled Offensive Behavior – USSR. it opens with a chapter describing the use of torture on Catholic prisoners in British jails in Northern Ireland. The inclusion of this chapter at all, and its position at the front of the report, clearly is intended to suggest that it is permissible for the United States to torture its own citizens because these methods are being used by our very civilized cousins in Britain, and not only barbarians in the Soviet Union.

Fourthly, the report states that, The purpose of mind altering techniques is to create one or more of several different possible states in the conscious or unconscious area of the brain. The ultimate goal of controlled offensive behavior might well be the total submission of one’s will to some outside force.

After discussing some of the possible states short of complete submission which may be the goal of Soviet research in behavior control, the author states, Since the desired end product of this type of research is some change in the human mind, only the non-lethal aspects are discussed in this report. It should be remembered, however, that some techniques have lethal thresholds.

In the current round of American behavior control experiments, no allowance is made for lethal thresholds. The use of involuntary human subjects provided by the Central Intelligence Agency precludes the necessity for researchers to consider lethal thresholds and legal consequences.

A curious situation has emerged in which torturers and murderers attend our meetings, address us on the failings of our own research, and misdirect us with papers on the benign effects of incubating eggs in 60-herz magnetic fields, in order to buy time for their own well paid and frequently lethal experiments on involuntary human subjects.

Another document which will be of interest to those wishing background information concerning the technology of political control is The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: The CIA and Mind Control by John Marks. It was published in 1977 but has recently (1,1988) been reprinted by Dell Publishing, with an introduction by Thomas Powers.

Of special interest are the.chapters concerning experiments with electrodes in the brain, which were the true forerunner of current experimentation involving invading the human brain and nervous system with gigahertz frequency masers and microwave beam weapons.

Of particular interest in the light of current developments are two paragraphs in the very last chapter which concern a Boston-based CIA front organization, the Scientific Engineering Institute, which still exists, not so incidentally. The SEI was initially established to do research on radar! In the 1960’s the SEI added a wing devoted to life sciences, and hired a group of behavioral and medical scientists.

Marks reports, One veteran recalls a colleague joking, If you could find the natural radio frequency of a person’s sphincter, you could make him run out of the room real fast. Turning serious, the veteran states the technique was plausible and he notes that many of the crazy ideas bandied about at lunch developed into concrete projects. Just how concrete that proposal to find the natural radio frequency of the human anal (and penile) sphincter became, Marks had no way of knowing at the lime he wrote his book.”
