SILENT SOUND SPREAD SPECTRUM
By Judy Wall
The
mind-altering mechanism is based on a subliminal carrier technology:
the Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS), sometimes called "S-quad" or
"Squad". It was developed by Dr Oliver Lowery of Norcross, Georgia,
and is described in
US Patent #5,159,703, "Silent Subliminal Presentation System", dated October 27, 1992. The abstract for the patent reads:
"A
silent communications system in which nonaural carriers, in the very
low or very high audio-frequency range or in the adjacent ultrasonic
frequency spectrum are amplitude- or frequency-modulated with the
desired intelligence and propagated acoustically or vibrationally, for
inducement into the brain, typically through the use of loudspeakers,
earphones, or piezoelectric transducers. The modulated carriers may
be transmitted directly in real time or may be conveniently recorded
and stored on mechanical, magnetic, or optical media for delayed or
repeated transmission to the listener."
According
to literature by Silent Sounds, Inc., it is now possible, using
supercomputers, to analyse human emotional EEG patterns and replicate
them, then store these "emotion signature clusters" on another
computer and, at will, "silently induce and change the emotional state
in a human being."
Silent
Sounds, Inc. states that it is interested only in positive emotions,
but the military is not so limited. That this is a US Department of
Defense project is obvious.
Edward Tilton, President of Silent Sounds, Inc., says this about S-quad in a letter dated December 13, 1996:
"All
schematics, however, have been classified by the US Government and we
are not allowed to reveal the exact details... ... we make tapes and
CDs for the German Government, even the former Soviet Union countries!
All with the permission of the US State Department, of course... The
system was used throughout Operation Desert Storm (Iraq) quite
successfully."
The
graphic illustration, "Induced Alpha to Theta Biofeedback Cluster
Movement", which accompanies the literature, is labelled #AB 116-394-95
UNCLASSIFIED" and is an output from "the world's most versatile and
most sensitive electroencephalograph (EEG) machine". It has a gain
capability of 200,000, as compared to other EEG machines in use which
have gain capability of approximately 50,000. It is software-driven by
the "fastest of computers" using a noisenulling technology similar to
that used by nuclear submarines for detecting small objects
underwater at extreme range.
The
purpose of all this high technology is to plot and display a moving
cluster of periodic brainwave signals. The illustration shows an EEG
display from a single individual, taken of left and right hemispheres
simultaneously. The readout from the two sides
of the brain appear to be quite different, but in fact are the same
(discounting normal left right brain variations).
CLONING THE EMOTIONS
By
using these computer-enhanced EEGs, scientists can identify and isolate
the brain's low-amplitude "emotion signature clusters", synthesise
them and store them on another computer. In other words, by studying
the subtle characteristic brainwave patterns that occur when a subject
experiences a particular emotion, scientists have been able to
identify the concomitant brainwave pattern and can now duplicate it.
"These clusters are then placed on the Silent Sound® carrier
frequencies and will silently trigger the occurrence of the same basic
emotion in another human being."
SYSTEM DELIVERY AND APPLICATIONS
There
is a lot more involved here than a simple subliminal sound system.
There are numerous patented technologies which can be piggybacked
individually or collectively onto a carrier frequency to elicit all
kinds of effects.
There
appear to be two methods of delivery with the system. One is direct
microwave induction into the brain of the subject, limited to
short-range operations. The other, as described above, utilises
ordinary radio and television carrier frequencies.
Far
from necessarily being used as a weapon against a person, the system
does have limitless positive applications. However, the fact that the
sounds are subliminal makes them virtually undetectable and possibly
dangerous to the general public.
In
more conventional use, the Silent Sounds Subliminal System might
utilise voice commands, e.g., as an adjunct to security systems.
Beneath the musical broadcast that you hear in stores and shopping
malls may be a hidden message which exhorts against shoplifting. And
while voice commands alone are powerful, when the subliminal
presentation system carries cloned emotional signatures, the result is
overwhelming.
Free-market
uses for this technology are the common self-help tapes; positive
affirmation, relaxation and meditation tapes; as well as methods to
increase learning capabilities.
In
a medical context, these systems can be used to great advantage to
treat psychiatric and psychosomatic problems. As a system for
remediating the profoundly deaf, it is unequalled. (Promises,
promises. This is the most common positive use touted for this
technology over the past 30 years. But the deaf are still deaf, and
the military now has a weapon to use on unsuspecting people with
perfectly normal hearing.)
OFFICIAL DENIALS
In
fact, the US Government has denied or refused to comment on
mindaltering weapons for years. Only last year, US News & World
Report ran an article titled "Wonder Weapons", basically a review of
the new so-called 'non-lethal' or 'less-than -lethal' weapons.' Not
one word about S-quad, although the technology had been used six years
earlier.
Excerpts from the article read:
"Says
Charles Bernard, a former Navy weapons-research director: 'I have yet
to see one of these ray-gun things that actually works."
"DARPA
(Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) has come to us every few
years to see if there are ways to incapacitate the central nervous
system remotely,' Dr F. Terry Hambrecht, head of the Neural Prostheses
Program at NIH, told US News, 'but nothing has ever come of if,' he
said. 'That is too science-fiction and far-fetched.'"
It
may sound "science fiction and far-fetched" but it is not. However,
that is just what the powers-that-be want you to believe, so as to
leave them alone in their relentless pursuit of... what?
The
idea behind non-lethal weapons is to incapacitate the enemy without
actually killing them, or, in the case of riot control or hostage
situations, to disable the participants without permanent injury,
preferably without their knowing it. The electromagnetic mind-altering
technologies would all fall into this class of weapons, but since
they are all officially non-existent, who is to decide when and where
they will be used?
And
why should selected companies in the entertainment industry reportedly
be allowed access to this technology when the very fact of its
existence is denied to the general public?
As
recently as last month [February], this stonewall approach of total
denial or silence on the subject still held fast, even toward
committees of the US Congress!
The
Joint Economics Committee, chaired by Jim Saxton (R-NJ), convened on
February 25, 1998 for the "Hearing on Radio Frequency Weapons and
Proliferation: Potential Impact on the Economy". Invited testimony
included statements by several authorities from the military:
- Dr Alan Kehs, of the US Army Laboratories, discussed the overall RF threat.
- Mr James O'Bryon, Deputy Director of Operational Testing and
Director of live fire testing for the Office of Secretary of Defense
at the Pentagon, discussed the role of Live Fire Testing and how it
plays a role in testing military equipment with RF weapons.
- Mr David Schriner, Principal Engineer of Directed Energy Studies
with Electronic Warfare Associates and recently retired as an
engineer with a naval weapons testing facility, talked about the
difficulty in building an RF weapon and about the terrorist threat.
- Dr Ira Merritt, Chief of Concepts Identification and
Applications Analysis Division, Advanced Technology Directorate,
Missile Defense and Space Technology Center, Huntsville, Alabama,
discussed the proliferation of RF weapons primarily from the former
Soviet Union.
Although
these statements gave information of technical interest, they are
perhaps more important for the information they did not give:
information on the existence of radio frequency weapons that directly
affect the human brain and nervous system.
KGB PSYCHOTRONICS
This
technology did not spring up overnight. It has a long history of
development and denials of development-by the US Government and probably
half of the other governments of the world as well.
We
know that the former Soviet Union was actively engaged in this type of
research. In a previous article we reported that during the 1970s the
Soviet KGB developed a Psychotronic Influence System (PIS) that was
used to turn soldiers into programmable 'human weapons'. The system
employed a combination of high frequency radio
waves and hypnosis. The PIS project was begun in response to a
similar training scheme launched in the US by President Carter,
according to Yuri Malin, former security adviser to USSR President
Gorbachev.
In my Electromagnetic Weapons Timeline I covered a period of 60 years of interest and development in EM weapons information
gathered from the many articles and news clippings sent in by readers
of Resonance. In my article on synthetic telepathy I traced the
development of the 'voice in your head' technology dating back to
1961, all my references coming from the open scientific literature.
POWER OF THE MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
Jan
Wiesemann has written an apt description of the situation which now
exists in the United States, about the 'forces that be' and how the
situation came about:
"During
the Cold War the United States not only engaged in a relatively open
nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union, but also engaged in a secret
race developing unconventional weapons. As the intelligence agencies
(which prior to the Second World War had merely played a supporting
role within the government) continued to increase their power, so did
the funds spent on developing techniques designed to outsmart each
other.
"And
as the US intelligence community began to grow, a secret culture sprang
about which enabled the intelligence players to implement the various
developed techniques to cleverly circumvent the democratic processes
and institutions...
"Like
many other democracies, the US Government is made up of two basic parts
the elected constituency, i.e., the various governors, judges,
congressmen and the President; and the unelected bureaucracies, as
represented by the numerous federal agencies.
"In
a well-balanced and correctly functioning democracy, the elected part
of the government is in charge of its unelected bureaucratic part,
giving the people a real voice in the agenda set by their government.
"While
a significant part of the US Government no doubt follows this
democratic principle, a considerable portion of the US Government
operates in complete secrecy and follows its own unaccountable agenda
which, unacknowledged, very often is quite different from the public
agenda."
Jan
goes on to quote one of the United States' most popular war heroes:
Dwight D. Eisenhower, who served as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces
during World War II and was later elected 34th President of the United
States. In his farewell address to the nation in 1961, President
Eisenhower said:
"...we
have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast
proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are
directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on
military security more than the net income of all United States
corporations.
"This
conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms
industry is new in the American experience. The total
influence-economic, political, even spiritual-is felt in every city,
every state house, every office of the federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not
fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and
livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
"In
the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of
unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military
-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of
misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight
of this combination endanger our liberties or our democratic
processes."
INTERNATIONAL CONCERNS OVER NEW WEAPONS
The
United Nations was established in 1945 with the aim of "saving
succeeding generations from the scourge of war". In 1975 the General
Assembly considered a draft first proposed by the Soviet Union:
"Prohibition of the Development and Manufacture of New Types of
Weapons of Mass Destruction and New Systems of Such Weapons".
In 1979 the Soviet Union added a list of some types of potential weapons of mass destruction:
1)
Radiological weapons (using radioactive materials) which could produce
harmful effects similar to those of a nuclear explosion;
2) Particle beam weapons, based on charged or neutral particles, to affect biological targets;
3) Infrasonic acoustic radiation weapons;
4)
Electromagnetic weapons operating at certain radio-frequency radiations
which could have injurious effects on human organs.
In response, the US and other Western nations stalled. They gave a long, convoluted reason, but the result was the same.
In
an article entitled "Non-Lethal Weapons May Violate Treaties", the
author notes that the Certain Conventional Weapons Convention covers
many of the non-conventional weapons; "those that utilize infrasound
or electromagnetic energy (including lasers, microwave or
radiofrequency radiation, or visible light pulsed at brainwave
frequency) for their effects."
Harlan
Girard, Managing Director of the International Committee Against
Offensive Microwave Weapons, told me he believes the strategy behind the
government's recent push for less-than-lethal weapons is a
subterfuge. The ones that are now getting all the publicity are put up
for scrutiny to get the public's approval. The electromagnetic
mind-altering technologies are not mentioned, but would be brought in
later under the umbrella of less-than- lethal weapons.
These
weapons were recently transferred from the Department of Defense over
to the Department of Justice. Why? Because there are several
international treaties that specifically limit or exclude weapons of
this nature from being used in international warfare.
In
other words, weapons that are barred from use against our country's
worst enemies (not withstanding the fact that the US did use this
weapon against Iraqi troops!) can now be used against our own citizens
by the local police departments against such groups as peaceful
protestors of US nuclear policies.
TOWARDS GLOBAL MIND CONTROL
The
secrecy involved in the development of the electromagnetic
mind-altering technology reflects the tremendous power that is
inherent in it. To put it bluntly, whoever controls this technology
can control the minds of men-all men.
There
is evidence that the US Government has plans to extend the range of
this technology to envelop all peoples, all countries. This can be
accomplished, is being accomplished, by utilising the nearly completed
HAARP Project for overseas areas and the GWEN network now in place in
the US. The US Government denies all this.
Dr
Michael Persinger is a Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at
Laurentian University, Ontario, Canada. You have met him before in the
pages of Resonance where we reported on his findings that strong
electromagnetic fields can affect a person's brain.
"Temporal
lobe stimulation," he said, "can evoke the feeling of a presence,
disorientation, and perceptual irregularities. It can activate images
stored in the subject's memory, including nightmares and monsters that
are normally suppressed."
Dr
Persinger wrote an article a few years ago, titled "On the Possibility
of Directly Accessing Every Human Brain by Electromagnetic Induction
of Fundamental Algorithms". The abstract reads:
"Contemporary
neuroscience suggests the existence of fundamental algorithms by
which all sensory transduction is translated into an intrinsic,
brain-specific code. Direct stimulation of these codes within the human
temporal or limbic cortices by applied electromagnetic patterns may
require energy levels which are within the range of both geomagnetic
activity and contemporary communication networks. A process which is
coupled to the narrow band of brain temperature could allow all normal
human brains to be. affected by a subharmonic whose frequency range
at about 10 Hz would only vary by 0. 1 Hz."
He concludes the article with this:
"Within
the last two decades a potential has emerged which was improbable,
but which is now marginally feasible. This potential is the technical
capability to influence directly the major portion of the
approximately six billion brains of the human species, without
mediation through classical sensory modalities, by generating neural
information within a physical medium within which all members of the
species are immersed.
"The
historical emergence of such possibilities, which have ranged from
gunpowder to atomic fission, have resulted in major changes in the
social evolution that occurred inordinately quickly after the
implementation. Reduction of the risk of the inappropriate application
of these technologies requires the continued and open discussion of
their realistic feasibility and implications within the scientific and
public domain."
It
doesn't get any plainer than that. And we do not have open discussion
because the US Government has totally denied the existence of this
technology.
