Introduction:

Since the dawn of civilization, governments have sought means to manipulate the thoughts and perceptions of its citizens. For example, every dictator wants to feel safe from, and loved by, those he dictates to. Even democratic governments use the techniques of public relations, spin doctoring, and press conferences, to shape the perceptions and opinions of their constituency. These techniques are so widespread that most human languages have a word dedicated to its description. In English, that word is "propaganda". The reason for this emphasis on human thought and perceptual management is quite simple. It takes far less effort to change someone's mind, than to change their living, working, or economic conditions. Furthermore, since the citizenry always out number those who exercise authority, it is critical that a majority of the people are satisfied with their leadership, or at least believe that no better alternative is available. Any government that fails to follow this maxim, be it a democracy, republic, monarchy, military junta, or dictatorship, is doomed to a quick and ignominious demise. It follows that ALL governments have an intense interest in, and are willing to expend vast sums of money on, ANY method or technology that holds the promise of enhancing the manipulation of human thought and/or perception.

With the rise of competitive nation states and international trade, a second application for human perceptual/opinion management has emerged. The use of propaganda to modify the perceptions and opinions within neighboring nation states, and thereby gain some political, economic, or military advantage, generally to the detriment of those who are manipulated. In the 20th century, a new and novel avenue for manipulating the human mind made its first appearance. The use of EM (electromagnetic) energy to directly modify human thought process. Its first application was electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) also known as electro-shock treatment. While being a crude, brute force method, it none the less opened the door to more tantalizing and subtle possibilities.

What follows is a detailed exposé on the development, deployment, and ongoing use, of a covert EM mind control technology that spans the entire planet. You already know its name, if not its capabilities.

You call it the Cell Phone Network...

1.1.1

Early developments:

Starting in the 1950s, working under the now infamous MK Ultra project, dozens of government grants were awarded for research into different aspects of human thought and/or perceptual manipulation. Some of these grants involved the development and testing of psychoactive drugs (LSD for instance). Other grants involved the physical modification of the human brain via surgery. Still other grants involved the use of EM energy to alter brain chemistry, with the ultimate goal being covert injection of perceptions or thoughts directly into the human mind. It is this last category of research that we shall focus upon in this paper.

It is unlikely that we'll ever know the true extent of, or the full results derived from, human mind control research conducted under the auspices of MK Ultra. However all is not lost, there are non-classified research papers from that era. Also a body of circumstantial evidence exists, that can be used to gain further insight into the subject. And of course, we have the fully deployed remote mind control system itself, available for our review and analysis. All we have to do is connect the dots...

Lets start with a 60 year old piece of circumstantial evidence.

During the development and deployment of Radar (in WWII), there were reports from radar technicians of auditory stimulus (artificial sounds) coincident with exposure to microwave radiation. It was generally assumed that mechanical movement within the ear or surrounding bone structure, created by rapid changes in temperature from exposure to microwaves, was the most likely cause. However, when deaf subjects also reported "hearing" microwaves, it became clear that a more subtle mechanism or phenomena must be responsible for the effect.

1.1.2

Allen H. Frey:

Cornell University (Ithaca New York), 1962. Allen H. Frey publishes a research paper in the Journal of Applied Physiology entitled, "Human auditory system response to Modulated electromagnetic energy". In his paper Mr. Frey describes the use of EM energy at average power levels measured in microwatts per square centimeter. I quote directly from his research paper:

The perception of various sounds can be induced in clinically deaf, as well as normal, human subjects at a distance of inches up to thousands of feet from the transmitter.

With somewhat different transmitter parameters, we can induce the perception of severe buffeting of the head, without such apparent vestibular symptoms as dizziness or nausea. Changing transmitter parameters again, one can induce a "pins-and-needles" sensation.

The transmitter modulation method employed in Mr. Frey's experiments was "pulse modulation", later known as digital modulation (figure 1 in Mr. Frey's paper). A further observation by Mr. Frey is relevant to this discussion. The EM frequency spectrum for greatest absorption by the human head, and therefore lowest threshold of auditory perception. In other words, what part of the EM spectrum is most efficient (requires the least transmitted power) to produce an auditory response? Referring to Mr. Frey's paper, the graph in Fig. 5 indicates the frequency spectrum from 500 Mhz to 5000 Mhz is most efficient, with peak efficiency near 1000 Mhz.

1.1.3

Cell Phone frequency spectrums:

The frequency spectrums assigned to the Cell Phone Network fall within 840 to 960 Mhz (low band) and 1710 to 2170 Mhz (high bands). Figure 1 is a reproduction of Mr. Frey's graph, with the positions of cell phone frequency bands outlined in red.

Figure 1
(reproduction of Mr. Frey's graph with cell phone frequency bands included)

As you can see, the frequency bands assigned by the FCC (federal communications commission) for use by Cell Phone Networks are at or near the peak of Mr. Frey's graph (showing most efficient absorption of EM energy by the human head), a graph taken from a 40+ year old research paper entitled: "Human auditory system response to Modulated electromagnetic energy" (see 1.1.2 above).

What a remarkable coincidence! Or is it?

As a side note, the frequency assigned for use by microwave ovens (2450 Mhz) is also in this same part of the EM spectrum.

1.1.4

Cell Phone base transceiver stations:

Everybody's seen them and hates them. They dot the urban landscape like a plague, and they seem to pop up like weeds. I'm talking about Cell Phone towers (see figure 2 below). These towers are just the most visible part of a Cell Phone BTS (Base Transceiver Station). At the bottom of each tower is a small building that houses the actual BTS electronics.

Figure 2, a typical Cell Phone BTS tower
(picture courtesy of tuberose.com)

One might assume that each Cell Phone conversation (channel) has an independent transmitter dedicated (or assigned) for the duration of the call. In reality three sets of broadband transmitters known as an MCPA (Multi-Carrier Power Amplifier) are used, with each Cell Phone conversation (channel) summed together with other Cell Phone conversations (channels), and the entire group broadcast (transmitted) by a particular MCPA set. The reason three MCPA sets are used is that most Cell Phone BTS sites divide their coverage area into three 120 degree sectors, with each MCPA set assigned to one particular sector. These 120 degree coverage sectors are why the Cell Phone BTS tower has that distinctive triangular antenna arrangement (as shown above).

Since each MCPA set handles all the Cell Phone conversations for a 120 degree coverage sector, it follows that although the transmitted power for any particular Cell Phone conversation is specified as 10 watts, the TOTAL power output of an MPCA set ranges from 180 watts to 360 watts. Furthermore, the antenna configuration shapes (or focuses) the radiated EM pattern such that the total ERP (effective radiated power) ranges from 9,000 watts to 18,000 watts per 120 degree coverage sector (17db or 50x antenna gain). Therefore the total ERP for a Cell Phone BTS site (360 degree coverage) is on the order of 27,000 to 54,000 watts! And of course there are multiple Cell Phone companies, each with its own network of BTS sites. Consequently any particular urban area will be subjected to EM radiation of approximately 81,000 to 216,000 watts (3 to 4 cell phone companies). To put this in perspective, the average AM radio station transmitter is 50,000 watts.

Under normal operation, each Cell Phone company uses a different portion of the Cell Phone Network frequency spectrum. However the actual frequencies used are determined by computer controlled DSP (digital signal processors) which like any computer controlled device, can be reprogrammed in fractions of a second. The transmitted signal uses TDMA (time division multiple access) or CDMA (code division multiple access) encoding. Both encoding methods produce a series of digital (on-off) pulses, just like Mr. Frey's original experiments (see 1.1.2 above).

It would seem the modern Cell Phone BTS is tailor made to reproduce Mr. Frey's experimental results (see 1.1.2, 1.1.3 above).

1.1.5

Touch someone:

Modern radar systems employ a non-mechanical steering technique known as a phased array. Essentially, a set of independently controlled microwave transmitters are synchronized such that their signals will combine constructively at one particular location, while canceling at other locations (see figure 3 below).

Figure 3, phased array radar
(courtesy of USN)

An easy way to visualize this technique is to imagine ripples, caused by dropping several small pebbles into a lake at slightly different locations and times. If done precisely, the peaks of the ripples would all combine at one location. While at other locations, the peak from one ripple would combine with the trough of another, thereby canceling each other. In a similar manner, the EM radiation (electromagnetic waves) from multiple BTS sites could be synchronized to create a large effect at one particular location. When combined with GPS (global positioning satellites), targeting would be very precise. In practical terms, an agent provocateur (CIA, NSA, or DIA - take your choice) would use a computer equipped with a modem or internet connection to access a special phone number, then enter the target coordinates. The Cell Phone network would be reprogrammed to bring all DSP's of BTS sites near the target location into synchronized phase with each other, and to transmit in a single narrow frequency spectrum, thereby allowing up to 200,000 watts (see 1.1.4 above) of microwave radiation to be targeted at the unsuspecting victim. Optimally, this would take place between 11:00PM and 5:00AM because the Cell Phone Network call traffic is minimal during these hours.

A further refinement of targeting capabilities took place in 2002, when Lucent Technologies announced "per-user intelligent antenna processing". With this technique, and I quote:

The base station sends a separate, dedicated, narrower beam to each active user, which adaptively follows them as they move through the base station's coverage area.

In other words, a BTS site equipped with this technology can focus a narrow "beam" of microwave energy at a particular cell phone, and will "follow" that cell phone as it moves from one location to another.

1.2.1

Such a nice boy:

His mother said, "he was such a nice boy, he never caused any trouble". Until he walked into a fast food restaurant, pulled out a gun, and started shooting everyone in sight. Sadly, he also shot himself, so now we'll never know why he committed such a shocking criminal act. Sound familiar? Of course it does. These days, it happens with depressing regularity. Then there was the Texas mother who drowned her children in the bathtub. She said, "the voice of god told me to do it".

Psychologists tell us these seemingly random acts of violence result from economic pressures and breakdowns in inter-personal relationships, caused by the stress of modern society. I contend what we are witnessing in these wonton acts of violence, is nothing less than experimental tests of remote mind control, accomplished using the Cell Phone BTS sites to inject post hypnotic commands directly into the human mind (1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5).

How do I support this conclusion?

Synthesizing the human voice from a digital noise source is proven technology, dating back to the 1960s (Bell Labs 1962). The technique is called Formant Synthesis, and was used in the movie 2001, when HAL 9000 sang "Daisy". The Cell Phone transmission method uses digital pulses (1.1.4), and according to Mr. Frey's observations, the perceived sound most closely matched that of the EM modulation i.e. a series of digital pulses (1.1.2). As any audio engineer will attest, such a series of digital pulses, when reproduced by an audio amplifier, are perceived as a "buzzing" noise, just as required for input to Formant Synthesis of the human voice. It is quite reasonable to assume that in the 40+ years since Mr. Frey published his paper, use of digitally modulated EM energy to inject the auditory perception of human voices, directly into the human mind, has been perfected. Especially when you consider the value any government would place on such technology (1.1.0).

Sleep learning, also known as hypnopaedia, is another proven technology with roots dating back to the 1950s. Spoken phrases are repeated over and over, while the person sleeps, which then facilitate recall when the subject is awake. Many believe hypnopaedia is not very effective, since the memories are not fully integrated into the subjects general conscious state. However, from the perspective of injecting posthypnotic suggestions to perform violent criminal acts, this supposed drawback is actually beneficial because it allows the person to disconnect or disassociate form performance of the criminal activity. This leads to another common thread among many contemporary crimes of violence. i.e. when questioned, the suspect said: "it was like I was watching someone else commit the crime". The technique of hypnopaedia could be further enhanced by use of EM modulation methods that induce an emotional bias or hormonal response in conjunction with the posthypnotic suggestion, thereby creating trauma based imprinting of the suggestion (see 1.2.3 below). The common name for trauma based imprinting is Brain Washing.

While there is no direct evidence of Cell Phone BTS sites being used in the manner described herein. As I have so amply shown, the BTS site architecture and capabilities are a perfect match to the required specifications of a fully functional mind control network (1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5). And when considered in the context of government propensity to coerce rather than cajole citizen behavior, it is hard to imagine that if such mind control technology is feasible, that it was not built into the Cell Phone BTS sites.

1.2.2

American foreign policy:

It is a well known fact (at least outside of America) that American foreign policy is dedicated to the manipulation and economic subjugation of other sovereign nations. Furthermore, while American foreign policy favors democracies, dictatorships and military juntas are also routine recipients of American foreign aid and trade concessions. Next, according to the CIA fact book, most third world and developing nations have more Cell Phones in use than conventional land line phones. The reason being that Cell Phone Networks require less installation, and incur less maintenance costs.

Now consider a hypothetical dictatorship. The dictator is receiving so called American foreign aid (which he's depositing in numbered Swiss bank accounts). In return, he's allowing American multinational corporations to exploit his nations natural resources, with complete disregard for the environmental damage, and consequent human suffering caused by such exploitation. As the plight of these people deteriorates, how is this dictator (and his American backers) going to keep the subjugated populace from rising up, and deposing the dictator? American supplied guns (and military advisors) worked well in the past, but such bellicose behavior is frowned upon in this enlightened, post millennium era. Suppose instead the Cell Phone BTS sites are used every night to inject hypnotic suggestions of tranquility and well being, directly into the minds of a sleeping populace.

But what if, despite the best efforts at population mind control, some opposition leader should arise to challenge the despotic rule of our hypothetical dictator?

His mother said, "he was such a nice boy, never caused any trouble". Until he picked up a gun, and assassinated the wildly popular opposition leader during a political rally in the capital city today. When questioned by the authorities he is reported to have said, "the voice of god told me to do it".

Later, in a written press release, the local representative from the U.N. High Commission on Human Rights said he is investigating possible involvement by government secret police, but so far no proof has been found. The White House press secretary also issued a statement on behalf of the President, strongly condemning the incident as a senseless act of violence, and reaffirming the President's unwavering commitment to democracy, the rule of law, and universal human rights...

Of course if our hypothetical dictator should ever decide to double cross America, and cut a better deal with the Europeans or China, the Cell Phone BTS sites will transmit hypnotic suggestions of discontent and anger. Then within a month or two, the White House press secretary will be issuing another statement on behalf of the President, asking for calm during this troubling time of transition, and pledging support for the new leader.

1.2.3

Beyond voices:

Mr. Frey's paper describes two other (non-auditory) phenomena that can be evoked by modulated EM energy (1.1.2). The perception of severe head buffeting, and the sensation of "pins-and-needles". In the context of coercing specific behavioral response, both phenomena would be useful in and of them selves. However, beyond their direct usefulness, these two phenomena imply the possibility of a much wider constellation of hallucinatory sensations. Furthermore, the autonomic feedback loop from sensory to motor nervous system networks within the mammalian brain, would indicate that remote control of musculature is also a distinct possibility.

What follows is based on reports from targeted subjects.

Physical sleep disturbances:

	Physical restlessness. Inability to get, or stay comfortable.
	Localized physical hot spots, generally discovered when getting out of, or returning to bed in the middle of the night. (see 1.1.3 reference to microwave ovens)
	Waking up feeling dehydrated, or with very dry mouth, or sinuses. (see 1.1.3 reference to microwave ovens).
	Startling awake for no apparent cause. Sometimes accompanied by the impression that someone had just spoken.
	Sweating, for no apparent reason, sometimes in unusual patterns. For instance, only on one leg or arm.
	Muscle twitch similar to the involuntary knee jerk elicited by a doctor during examination, but involving every muscle in a leg or arm, or sometimes the whole body in a single massive spasm.
	Muscle rigidity, often accompanied by whole body muscle tremors.

Mental sleep disturbances:

	Disruption of REM sleep over multiple nights, leading to overall decline in physical health.
	Dream hijacking. Having a dream suddenly change from pleasant to frightening or threatening.
	Up-Down syndrome. Getting up because you can't sleep, and then immediately starting to yawn because you're tired. With pattern repeating multiple times in a single night.
	Waking up with general or specific feelings of fear, dread or anger, and no memory of a cause or reason for such feelings.
	Waking up from a dream in which you did something, or acted in ways that are contrary to your normal behavior. Sometimes accompanied by feelings of shame, or self loathing.

The above lists are NOT exhaustive, but merely intended to illustrate the types of physical and/or mental disturbances that can be triggered by modulated EM energy, when used as a covert weapon.

Defense lawyers, when confronted with a defendant who's actions seem completely at odds with their previous patterns of behavior, should carefully question their client as to any recent sleep disturbances they may have experienced. Furthermore, a defendants claim of hearing voices that compelled them to commit a criminal act, should not be lightly dismissed, especially if a clinical examination of defendant shows no sign of mental defect. In such cases, hypnotic regression may prove useful in uncovering the root causes of their aberrant criminal behavior.

Psychologists, and psychiatrists should also take the time to familiarize themselves with this new and sinister form of induced mental illness. It just may be that your mentally disturbed patient of today who is hearing voices in their head, will become tomorrows mass murderer.

1.3.1

Countermeasures:

The obvious solution to covert attack by targeted microwave energy is metallic shielding. While several companies offer products specifically intended to shield against microwave energy, ordinary aluminum foil works very well, and is much less expensive. Furthermore, at least one of the companies that offer microwave shielding products is owned by individuals with ties to the government intelligence community (CIA, NSA, DIA), and therefore should be carefully avoided. Another useful shielding material is fine mesh window screening, however make sure it is metallic, and NOT plastic.

There are two basic approaches to EM energy shielding.

	Whole room shielding.
	Selective shielding.

Whole room shielding is by far the preferred solution, but more expensive to implement. Selective shielding is less expensive, but also less convenient and depending on the exact nature of its construction, less effective. Whole room shielding entails covering all walls, and depending on physical location, the floor and ceiling, with aluminum foil or fine mesh window screening. Selective shielding entails the use of folding room dividers covered in aluminum foil or fine mesh window screening, and placed around the bed.

One other method is suggested by figure 6, in Mr. Frey's paper (see 1.1.2). That is the use of a head shield. While portrayed as a "tin foil hat" in the popular media and belittling jokes, the use of fine mesh window screening, sandwiched between two light weight cloth stocking caps would be far more comfortable, and far less noticeable by others. This method would be useful in locations and circumstances where other shielding methods discussed herein are impractical (a motel room for instance). However, the author must caution that use of a head shield is far less effective than other methods discussed in this section.

Another useful adjunct to EM shielding is a microwave leakage meter. These meters are used to measure the level of EM leakage from devices such as microwave ovens. Many consumer versions are available for less than $50. However, since the meter is intended to measure leakage from microwave ovens operating at 2450 Mhz, rather than Cell Phone Networks operation at slightly lower frequencies, the meter should be tested by holding it near an operating Cell Phone during a call. A more accurate (and expensive) version known as an RF field meter is available from Scientific Meters (link opens in a new browser window), for $320. An RF field meter, with an audio alarm function that could be set to trigger at a specific threshold level would be ideal. The meter could be located next to the bed, and would wake the victim up, at the commencement of any directed EM energy attack.

In closing, during the last 10 years, there has been a plethora of whacko jokes, derogatory comments and movie plots involving the use of tin foil hats. These should be viewed as an attempt to discredit the whole idea of attack by directed EM energy. Comments and movies of this type should also be considered as yet another piece of circumstantial evidence that such attacks are in fact, taking place on a daily basis. And finally, that those individuals and organizations responsible for attacks by directed EM energy, also exercise influence over the mass media, and other forums of public opinion.

1.3.2

Further investigations:

A consequence of flooding the urban environment with high energy microwave radiation is the steady rise of non-specific sleep disorders in the general population. This may be an unintended side effect, or it may be quite intentional. Either way, a study of sleep disturbances, correlated with Cell Phone BTS site distribution would prove very helpful. The study should also explore the temporal relationship between Cell Phone BTS site growth, and the rise of reported sleep disturbances. Furthermore, it is the author's conjecture that a positive correlation between leukemia and Cell Phone BTS site geographic and temporal growth will also be evident.

Another useful study would be the correlation between the rise of violent criminal activity and Cell Phone BTS site density. Both geographic and temporal correlations should be considered. It is the authors opinion that a positive correlation will be found.

For those organizations that have the technical capabilities, reverse engineering the BTS computer firmware would lead to incontrovertible proof that Cell Phone BTS sites are in fact mind control weapons. Reverse engineering would also provide the necessary information to block the weapon functions, while leaving the communications functions intact. This project would be a good undertaking for some enterprising company in an emerging nation (India for instance). They need not worry about legal liability arising from charges of patent or copyright infringement. Charges of this type would inevitably lead to disclosure of the pertinent facts, and it is most unlikely that any corporation would wish to take public responsibility for developing such a vile and pernicious weapon.

Several recent incidents within the EU would seem to warrant further investigation. The unexpected and widespread uprising of disgruntled youth in France is a good example, especially given the strained diplomatic relations with America, over the Iraq invasion.

1.3.3

Summary:

The development and deployment of a remote mind control network, based on Cell Phone BTS technology as described herein, does not require some grand conspiracy with hundreds of corporations, and thousands of individuals. The number of people who were directly involved in the development is most likely less than 100. The vast majority of individuals who manufacture, market, sell, and install Cell Phone BTS sites are ignorant of the networks true capabilities. It is unknown how many people within the American intelligence community (CIA, NSA, DIA, etc.) that have direct knowledge of the systems capabilities. However, given the operational requirements, this number may range upwards of 10,000. It is also not known how many individuals in other countries (such as those within the EU intelligence communities) are cognizant of the remote mind control capabilities built into Cell Phone BTS sites.

While many will choose to view this paper as an exercise in paranoid fantasy, others will recognize symptoms or behaviors I have described, and take the appropriate precautions. Still others will read this document, and over time, as they watch events unfold in the world around them, come to know the truth of my words. Despots and dictators will desire to possess this technology, while the free and righteous will desire to ban its use. By your actions, each of you will help create mankind's future, and each of you will have to live within that future you have created. Choose wisely...

Abstract

A system and method for enabling human beings to communicate by way of their monitored brain activity. The brain activity of an individual is monitored and transmitted to a remote location (e.g. by satellite). At the remote location, the monitored brain activity is compared with pre-recorded normalized brain activity curves, waveforms, or patterns to determine if a match or substantial match is found. If such a match is found, then the computer at the remote location determines that the individual was attempting to communicate the word, phrase, or thought corresponding to the matched stored normalized signal.

Description

This invention relates to a system and method for enabling human beings to communicate with one another by monitoring brain activity. In particular, this invention relates to such a system and method where brain activity of a particular individual is monitored and transmitted in a wireless manner (e.g. via satellite) from the location of the individual to a remote location so that the brain activity can be computer analyzed at the remote location thereby enabling the computer and/or individuals at the remote location to determine what the monitored individual was thinking or wishing to communicate.

In certain embodiments this invention relates to the analysis of brain waves or brain activity, and/or to the remote firing of select brain nodes in order to produce a predetermined effect on an individual.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is known to monitor brain activity by way of electroencephalograph (EEG) methods, magnetoencephalograph (MEG) methods, and the like. For example, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,816,247 and 5,325,862, the disclosures of which are both hereby incorporated herein by reference. As discussed in the '247 patent, an EEG may be recorded from a number of pairs of scalp electrodes and processed according to known software. Such software and/or hardware acquires both processed and unprocessed EEG data and may record it on a disk. The records may be replayed and statistics of the on-line measures made on suitable sections placed in categories predefined by a user. This may utilize the form of database of statistical measures of brain activity. Unfortunately, neither the '862 nor the '247 patents disclose or suggest any methods by which humans can communicate with one another by way of monitoring brain activity.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,719,561 discloses a communications device and method, the entire disclosure of the '561 patent hereby being incorporated herein by reference. The '561 patent discusses a method and device for vibromechanical tactile communications adaptable for use by individuals to recognize alpha numeric messages in a language or in other symbols known to them. The '561 patent discusses using a series of sequentially firing vibromechanical stimulators vibrating against a suitably tactile sensitive surface of the wearer (e.g. skin) to induce a phenomenon of illustration of linear continuity. Unfortunately, the '561 patent requires the use of burdensome and complex vibromechanical tactile devices, and is not suitable for long distance communication.

It is a purpose of this invention to address any or all of the above-identified problems in the prior art, as well as other problems which will become apparent to the skilled artisan from the following detailed description of this invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Generally speaking, this invention fulfills the above described needs in the art by providing a method of communicating comprising the steps of:

providing a first human being at a first location;

providing a computer at a second location that is remote from the first location;

providing a satellite;

providing at least one sensor (preferably a plurality--e.g. tens, hundreds, or thousands, with each sensor monitoring the firing of one or more brain nodes or synapse type members) on the first human being;

detecting brain activity of the first human being using the at least one sensor, and transmitting the detected brain activity to the satellite as a signal including brain activity information;

the satellite sending a signal including the brain activity information to the second location;

a receiver at the second location receiving the signal from the satellite and forwarding the brain activity information in the signal to the computer;

comparing the received brain activity information of the first human being with normalized or averaged brain activity information relating to the first human being from memory; and

determining whether the first human being was attempting to communicate particular words, phrases or thoughts, based upon the comparing of the received brain activity information to the information from memory.

In certain embodiments, the invention includes the following step: asking the first human being a plurality of questions and recording brain activity of the first human being responsive to the plurality of questions in the process of developing said normalized or averaged brain activity information relating to the first human being stored in the memory. A database in a memory may include, for each of a plurality (e.g. one hundred or thousands) of individuals, a number of prerecorded files each corresponding to a particular thought, attempt to communicate a word, attempt to communicate a phrase or thought, or mental state. Measured brain activity of a given individual may be compared to files from that database of that individual to determine what the individual is attempting to communicate or what type of mental state the individual is in.

In certain embodiments, the plurality of questions are the same question.

In certain embodiments, the plurality of questions are different questions.

In certain embodiments, the invention includes the step of normalizing or averaging recorded brain activity responsive to a given question or set of questions in developing the normalized or averaged brain activity information relating to the first human being.

It is an object of this invention to enable brain activity of a first human being to be monitored, with the activity being transmitted to a remote location so that individuals and/or a computer at the remote location can determine what the first human being was thinking or intending to communicate. In such a manner, human beings can communicate with one another via monitoring of brain activity, and transmission of the same.

It is another object of this invention to communicate monitored brain activity from one location to another in a wireless manner, such as by IR, RF, or satellite.

It is another object of this invention to provide a system capable of identifying particular nodes in an individual's brain, the firings of which affect characteristics such as appetite, hunger, thirst, communication skills (e.g. which nodes are utilized to communicate certain words such as "yes", "no", or phrases such as "I don't know", "I'm not sure", or numbers such as "one", "two", "ten", "one hundred" and the like), thought processes, depression, and the like). When such nodes are identified, they may be specifically monitored by one or more sensors to analyze behavior or communication or words, phrases, or thoughts. In other embodiments, devices mounted to the person (e.g. underneath the scalp) may be energized in a predetermined manner or sequence to remotely cause particular identified brain node(s) to be fired in order to cause a predetermined feeling or reaction in the individual, such as lack of hunger, lack or depression, lack or thirst, lack of aggression, lack of alzheimer's disease effects, or the like.

Brain node firings are the basis of thought and mind processes of individuals. Certain embodiments of this invention enable such brain firings and behavior to be captured by an external device. It is an object of this invention to utilize a normalization or normalizing curve (or waveform or pattern) based upon monitored brain activity to detect or determine thought processes by the monitored individual. In such a manner, individuals can transmit by satellite what they are thinking or intending to think via their monitored brain activity, without the need to talk or write down information.

Each individual has a distinct pattern of brain node firings or brain activity. Each person is believed to be different in this regard. Thus, a separate brain activity file may be stored in a memory for each individual, and analyzed or compared to received brain activity from the monitored individual in order to determine what that individual is thinking or attempting to communicate.

It is an object of this invention to utilize brain monitoring and transmission of monitored brain activity for lie detection and/or human communication.

It is another object of this invention to formulate or build-up a file for each individual based upon patterns recorded in response to that individual answering or responding to numerous predetermined questions with known intended responses. Subsequently, monitored brain activity from that individual may then be compared to information stored corresponding to that individual to determine whether the individual is lying or what the individual is intending to communicate in the monitored brain activity. The higher the level of detail of the file, the higher the level of potential communication by certain embodiments of this invention.

At least one sensor on the scalp or skin in certain embodiments provides signals representative of physiological activity generated in the brain of a monitored individual. A data acquisition device receives the signals representative of the physiological activity generated in the monitored brain, and transforms the signals into a pattern or curve corresponding to the monitored brain activity. This is then transmitted (e.g. by satellite) to a computer located at a remote location, with the monitored brain activity pattern or curve being stored in a memory at the remote location. The computer then causes the received pattern or curve information to be compared with stored brain activity pattern information relating to the monitored individual in order to determine (a) whether the monitored individual is lying in response to a particular question, or (b) what the monitored individual is communicating or attempting to communicate.

Another object of this invention is to utilize normalization curves representative of received brain activity patterns from the monitored individual, and to compare the received normalized data with normalized brain activity pattern or curve data stored in memory relating to that individual. The use of normalization curves in one or both of the individual's file and received brain activity improves reliability, accuracy, and efficiency.

In certain embodiments of this invention, the computer located at the remote location includes a neural network suitably programmed in accordance with known neural network techniques, for the purpose of receiving the monitored brain activity signals, transforming the signals into useful forms, training and testing the neural network to distinguish particular forms and patterns of physiological activity generated in the brain of the monitored individual, and/or comparing the received monitored brain activity information with stored information relating to that individual in order to determine what the individual is attempting to communicate.

This invention further fulfills the above described needs in the art by providing a method of affecting a mental or physiological state of an individual, the method comprising the steps of:

providing at least one firing device capable of being energized on an individual; and

energizing the firing device to cause the firing device to cause a particular or group of brain nodes to be fired in the individual in order to affect the mental or physiological state of the individual.

In certain embodiments, the method including the step of providing the at least one firing device on or under the scalp of the individual in proximity of the brain of the individual.

In certain embodiments, the method including the step of identifying at least one brain node related to the mental or physiological state intended to be affected, targeting the identified brain node, and energizing the firing device or devices to cause the identified node to be fired in order to affect the mental or physiological state of the individual.

In certain embodiments, the method is utilized to cause the individual to be one of less hungry, less thirsty, less anxious, and less depressed.

In certain embodiments, the remote node firing devices are electrically energized and generate electromagnetic waves which cause a plurality of brain nodes to be fired.

This invention will now be described with respect to certain embodiments thereof, along with reference to the accompanying illustrations.

FIGS. 3(a)-3(f) are exemplary graphs of monitored brain activity of different individuals, with, for example, FIG. 3(a) illustrating monitored brain activity of a particular individual who is attempting to communicate the word "no" and FIG. 3(b) illustrating monitored brain activity of the same individual when that individual is attempting to communicate the word "yes."

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN EMBODIMENTS OF THIS INVENTION

Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals indicate like parts throughout the several views.

There are significant individual differences in electrical and magnetic activity in the brain. Brain node or synapse firings are chemically and/or electrically caused and/or related. Some characteristics of brain activity may be relatively stable when measured from day to day. Brain responses to sensory stimulation (e.g. visual, audible, olfactory, gustatory, etc.) as well as higher order cognitive processing (e.g. decision-making or thought/word communication), can be examined in great detail using a variety of recording procedures. A recording of brain electrical activity is called an electroencephalograph (EEG), and a comparable record of magnetic activity is called a magnetoencephalogram (MEG). When human sensory systems are stimulated by a particular event (a given sound or optical effect) or when a human wishes to communicate a particular word or phrase (e.g. the word "yes" or the word "no"), there is a predictable sequence of processing that occurs in the brain. This processing generates an event related potential that can be recorded from the scalp beginning shortly after the onset of the stimulation, and lasting for approximately 0.5-4 seconds after the stimulation. These potentials can be repeatedly generated from individuals given the same stimulus or wishing to communicate the same word or phrase. In certain embodiments of this invention, brain activity may be repeatedly sampled, and response patterns averaged by way of a normalization curve or the like. Comparable recordings of averaged or normalized magnetic activity may be referred to as evoked fields. Neuroelectric and neuormagnetic recordings are subsets of general measurings referred to as bioelectric and biomagnetic measures. These measures refer to recordings which may be made from different types of tissue including neural, muscle, heart, etc. For example, EEG, evoked potentials (EP), MEG, position emission tomography (PET) of glucose, or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) may be used to monitor brain activity in different embodiments of this invention.

Event related potentials have been shown to be stable and unique to individuals. See U.S. Pat. No. 5,325,862, which is incorporated herein by reference. Although the actual shape of such potentials varies considerably from individual to individual, there is stability within individuals over time for individual waveforms. Sources of these potentials and variations thereof include individual differences in brain anatomy and differences in the way in which information is processed by each individual. Thus, it is feasible herein to utilize monitored brain waveforms for the purpose of determining whether an individual is lying or not, or what word or phrase a particular individual is attempting to communicate (without the need for writing information down or speaking).

Thus, evoked fields and/or event related potentials can be utilized as classifiers for several purposes. For example, because these potentials and/or fields are relatively unique to individuals, an individual's evoked field or event related potential (or brainprint) can be utilized to determine what thoughts an individual is communicating or attempting to communicate given knowledge of the identification of that individual and previously recorded patterns associated with that individual communicating predetermined words, phrases or thoughts. Because there is a remarkable degree of stability in individual waveforms of a person over time, it is possible to identify changes in individual event related potentials and evoked field patterns which can be utilized to determine when an individual is lying, or impaired in any way.

There are numerous neural networks in the brain, these networks having complex inner connections and non-linear response patterns. Relationships between the latencies and amplitudes of event related potentials and evoked field waveform features have become well understood. In addition, there are many individual variations in waveform morphology. Computing techniques modeled after brain neural functions are known in the art. They are typically referred to as neural network analysis techniques or computers. Neural network analysis computing technology offers a method for finding complex, non-linear relationships in large data sets, even when the nature of the relationships is not known in advance. Neural network technology is implemented sometimes using computer software programs, but may also be hardware implemented. Neural network theory, and detailed descriptions of specific techniques, are available in numerous books and articles set forth in the aforesaid '862 patent, as well as in, for example, any of U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,136,687; 5,059,814; 5,461,699; 5,737,485; 5,224,203; and 5,640,493, the entire disclosures of which are all hereby incorporated herein by reference. Such neural computing systems have a capability to learn features of data sets and classify same into either unknown or predetermined categories. A variety of neural network techniques may be utilized to classify event related potentials, evoke fields, or any other type of pattern corresponding to monitored brain behavior. In most neural networks, input values are adjusted through a series of layers by a series of transforms and weighted so that output categories are correctly predicted. Thus, a neural computing system herein may be utilized to receive monitored brain activity and based upon predetermined stored and/or learned information, determine based upon the received information what word, phrase, or thoughts the monitored individual is attempting to communicate. In such a manner, the monitoring of brain activity may be utilized to allow individuals to communicate from one location to another, with the neural computer or any other type of computer analyzing the monitored brain information (e.g. via comparison with previously recorded brain activity of that person) and outputting information indicative of the word, phrase, or thoughts which the monitored individual is attempting to communicate.

FIG. 1 illustrates a particular monitored individual 3 according to an embodiment of this invention. Individual 3 includes a head 5. As illustrated, sensors 7 may be attached or otherwise disposed adjacent to the scalp or skin of the individual 3. Sensors 7 detect and monitor brain activity of individual 3. Sensors 7 can detect event related potentials and/or event related fields (i.e. ERPs or ERFs). Optionally, sensor 7 may be utilized to detect any other type of "brainprint" indicative of brain activity of individual 3.

The monitored "brainprint" of individual 3 is forwarded to a small transmitter 9 which is preferably embedded in the skin of individual 3, or in close proximity to individual 3. Transmitter 9 causes the monitored "brainprint" information detected by sensor 7 to be transmitted by way of antenna 11 as wireless signals 13. In certain embodiments of this invention, signals 13 propagate through atmospheric free space in the form of uplink satellite signals toward satellite 15. Satellite 15 receives signals 13 and then redirects those signals back toward Earth as signals 17 which include information therein (analog or digital) indicative of the monitored brain activity of individual 3. Signals 17 are received by antenna 19. Antenna 19 and individual 3 are both preferably located on Earth at different locations. In certain embodiments, antenna 19 is located at a location remote from individual 3. For example, individual 3, sensor 7, transmitter 9, and antenna 11 may all be located in Europe while receiving antenna 19 and computer 21 may be located in the United States.

FIG. 1 illustrates both a digital embodiment 23 and an analog embodiment 25 of receiving systems. Either may be utilized. When signals 17 include digital information, they are received by antenna 19 and forwarded to tuner 27. The signals are processed through equalizer 29, demodulator 31, parallel to serial converter 33, deinterleaver 35, decoder 37, descrambler 39, digital estimator 41, and finally to neural network analysis or other type of computer 21. Monitored firings of brain nodes may be broken down into digital form (e.g. the firing of a node is equivalent to a "1" and nonfiring to a "0"). These 1s and 0s, which are digital, may be modulated onto a carrier and then transmitted to the satellite so that the monitored brain activity in the signal is in digital form. When the computer receives this monitored signal from the satellite, the demodulating system analyzes the received digital information (e.g. 1s and 0s) which is indicative of the firing of select brain nodes of the monitored individual. These digital signals may be transformed, in certain embodiments, into analog form similar to the illustrations of FIG. 3, or alternatively may be kept in digital form and compared with prestored digital signals to determine what the monitored person was intending to communicate.

In analog embodiments, signal 17 is received by antenna 19, and the information forwarded to tuner 27, amplifier 43, and the analog information inclusive signal 45 is forwarded to computer 21. In analog embodiments, the signals received by the monitoring sensors are in the form of waves similar to those shown in FIG. 3 herein.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of computer 21 in certain embodiments of this invention. The input thereto may be in either analog or digital form. Computer 21 includes processor 51, RAM 53, comparing device 55, and memory 57 for storing a plurality of files or patterns of measured brain activity or responses of particular individuals. For example, memory or storage 57 may include one file for individual X which includes hundreds of monitored brain activity (e.g. ERPs or ERFs) that were measured when individual X was attempting to communicate the word "no." Another file in storage or memory 57 may have stored therein hundreds or thousands of monitored brain patterns or activities of individual X when individual X was attempting to communicate the word "yes." Storage or memory 57 may also include similar files for individual X including patterns which were measured when the individual was attempting to communicate different words or phrases. Each of these files may have a normalized curve, waveform or pattern formed or developed for each word, phrase, or thought for each individual, based upon all of the recorded patterns or curves for that word, phrase, or thought (e.g. 1,000 such recordings for the phrase "help me," and 1,000 for the phrase "I've been caught." Memory 57 further includes in certain embodiments many different files for many different individuals, all including files for each individual's past communicating of particular words, phrases, or thoughts.

Normalized curves or patterns corresponding to each individual's attempt to communicate a particular word, thought, or a pattern may be stored in storage or memory 57. Thus, for individual X attempting to communicate the word "no", a normalized curve, waveform, or a pattern may be stored in memory 57 indicative or such a communication. Likewise, a normalized curve, waveform, or pattern may be stored in memory 57 for individual Y attempting to communicate the word "no" and another distinct normalized curve, waveform, or pattern may be stored in memory 57 for individual Y attempting to communicate the word "yes." In a similar manner, a normalized curve, waveform or pattern may be stored in memory 57 for individual Y attempting to communicate the phrase "I don't know" or "I'm not sure." Thus, if one hundred different human beings have files in memory 57 corresponding to each of these individual's attempt to communicate the phrase "I don't know", then one hundred different normalized waveforms, curves or patterns would be stored in memory 57, each corresponding to a particular individual. A normalized curve, waveform, or pattern may be developed by repeatedly asking an individual tens, hundreds, or thousands of times a particular question or group of questions which evoke a known response such as "I don't know," or "no" or "yes." Each time the response is made, a curve, waveform, or a pattern is recorded. After tens, hundreds, or even thousands of these patterns have been recorded, a normalized curve, waveform or pattern is formed based upon same so as to be indicative of that particular individual's attempt to communicate the phrase. In a similar manner, if it is desired to store normalized curves, waveforms, or patterns for ten different words, phrases or thoughts communicated by a particular individual, then a normalized curve, waveform, or pattern is developed for each of the different ten items so that ten different normalized curves, waveforms or patterns are stored in memory 57 for that individual and classified accordingly. Thus, when computer 21 receives signals indicating brain activity from that monitored individual, the received signals are compared by device 55 to the ten different normalized signals in memory 57 in order to determine what the individual is attempting to communicate.

FIGS. 3(a)-3(f) illustrate different normalized curves which may be stored in memory 57. FIG. 3(a) shows a normalized curve indicative of individual "Joe" attempting to communicate the word "no." FIG. 3(b) shows a normalized curve indicative of individual "Joe" attempting to communicate the word "yes." FIG. 3(c) shows a normalized curve indicative of another individual "Steve" attempting to communicate the word "no", while FIG. 3(d) shows a normalized curve indicative of individual "Steve" attempting to communicate the word "yes." Finally, FIG. 3(e) shows a normalized curve indicative of still another individual "Anita" attempting to communicate the word "no", while FIG. 3(f) illustrates a normalized curve of "Anita" attempting to communicate the word "yes."

Thus, if computer 21 receives a signal including monitored brain information identified as being from individual "Steve", then computer 21 causes the received signal to be compared by device 55 with the normalized curves or waveforms shown in FIGS. 3(c) and 3(d) and all others normalized stored signals of "Steve." If a match or a close match is found between the received monitored signal and the normalized curve of FIG. 3(c), then the computer determines that "Steve" was attempting to communicate the word "no." Meanwhile, if no match is found with the normalized curve of FIG. 3(c), but a match or a substantial match is found with regard to the normalized curve or waveform of FIG. 3(d), then the computer determines that "Steve" was attempting to communicate the word "yes." If no match is found between the received "Steve" signal and any normalized curve or waveform of either FIG. 3(c) or FIG. 3(d), or with any other normalized curve stored in memory 57 corresponding to "Steve", then the computer determines that it is unclear what "Steve" was attempting to communicate.

Thus, different embodiments of this invention may be utilized to help individuals communicate with one another without having to send faxes, make telephone calls, speak, or the like. For instance, military personnel located in the Middle East or Europe can communicate with superiors in the Pentagon, simply by use of monitored brain activity being transmitted by satellite to the Pentagon. Alternatively, a special operations individual (e.g. a spy) located in Europe could be asked a question by way of a telephone call, fax, or the like, and that individual can respond to that question simply by thinking the answer so that that individual's monitored brain activity which is transmitted back to the United States can be analyzed to determine the individual's response. In further embodiments of this invention, two-way human communication is possible, provided that human beings at both locations have equipment capable of analyzing and monitoring received monitored brain activity. In such a manner, individuals at two remote locations may communicate with one another without either individual having to speak a word, write anything down, or the like.

In other embodiments, devices mounted to the person (e.g. underneath the scalp) may be energized in a predetermined manner or sequence to remotely cause particular identified brain node(s) to be fired in order to cause a predetermined feeling or reaction in the individual, such as lack of hunger, lack or depression, lack or thirst, lack of aggression, lack of alzheimer's disease effects, or the like. In an example of such an embodiment, the sensors may be replaced with remote firing devices. The computer may cause satellite signals to be sent to a receiver on or proximate an individual, which receiver forwards instructions to the remote firing devices that are mounted, e.g. under the scalp of the individual, in order to selectively cause same to fire or be energized. Such energizing of the device(s) under or near the scalp in a predetermined manner tend to cause identified brain nodes to fire a predetermined number of times. This is useful, for example, in the following scenarios. For example, the system can be used to identify which brain node(s) in a particular individual are typically fired causing that individual to not be hungry. If that individual has an eating disorder or problems with obesity, then the firing devices can be remotely energized thereby causing the identified brain node(s) to be fired at predetermined or random times in order to cause the individual to not be hungry (even if the individual has not eaten for several hours or several days).

In a similar manner, brain nodes which cause an individual to be jovial or not depressed can be identified, and caused to be remotely fired by the computer and firing devices 7 mounted under the scalp in a predetermined manner or sequence(s) in order to minimize or prevent depression of the individual. This may eliminate the need for drugs such a Prozac. Alternatively, such drug(s) may be administered after such remote node firings, and the nodes at issue thereafter being monitored as discussed above and a biofeedback being performed to determine the effectiveness of the drug(s) or alternatively to enable a system to be utilized combining drug treatment with remote node firings to more effectively prevent or minimize depression of the individual. Thus, the biofeedback may enable the identified nodes to be fired by the firing devices and/or drug treatment at the proper level to most efficiently treat the disease, illness or state. This invention, including remote firings and/or monitoring, is not limited to these examples, and its potential uses are almost endless. Brain node firings can be remotely controlled in a predetermined manner or sequence(s) (even random or sequential) to reduce, minimize, or eliminate undesirable behavior or mental characteristics. This may eliminate or reduce the need for burdensome drug treatments and the like. Brain node firings of a normal person, or of a particular person in a given mental or physical state, may be monitored and the brain activity stored and analyzed in the computer 21 memory. This stored brain activity may then be caused by remotely causing the firing devices to cause particular brain node(s) to be fired at given times or intervals in a predetermined manner or sequence. The computer may be programmed to instruct the brain sensors and/or firing devices to identify which brain nodes are responsible for which types of physical or mental behavior, and then the computer transmits firing instructions to the firing devices for those nodes to cause them to be fired in a predetermined manner to effect such physical or mental behavior.

Once given the above disclosure, many other features, modifications, and improvements will become apparent to the skilled artisan. Such other features, modifications, and improvements are, therefore, considered to be a part of this invention, the scope of which is to be determined by the following claims.

Operation Falcon and the Looming Police State

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17190.htm

By Mike Whitney

02/26/07 "ICH" --- - On 29th June, 1934, Chancellor Adolph Hitler, accompanied by the Schutzstaffel (SS), arrived at Wiesse, where he personally arrested the leader of the Strum Abteilung (SA), Ernnst Roehm. During the next 24 hours 200 other senior SA officers were arrested on the way to Wiesse. Many were shot as soon as they were captured but Hitler decided to pardon Roehm because of his past service to the movement. However, after much pressure from Hermann Goering and Heinrich Himmler, Hitler agreed that Roehm should die. At first Hitler insisted that Roehm should be allowed to commit suicide but, when he refused, Roehm was shot by two SS men. (Spartacus.schoolnet.co)

Later, Hitler delivered a speech at the Reichstag in which he justified the murders of his rivals saying:

"If anyone reproaches me and asks why I did not resort to the regular courts of justice, then all I can say is this: In this hour I was responsible for the fate of the German people, and thereby I became the supreme judge of the German people. It was no secret that this time the revolution would have to be bloody; when we spoke of it we called it 'The Night of the Long Knives.' Everyone must know for all future time that if he raises his hand to strike the State, then certain death is his lot."

The Night of the Long Knives is seen by many as the turning point where Hitler made it clear that he was above the law and the supreme leader of the German people.


Operation Falcon: Blueprint for removing dissidents and political rivals

The Bush administration has carried out three massive sweeps in the last two years, rolling up more than 30,000 minor crooks and criminals, without as much as a whimper of protest from the public.

Operation Falcon is the clearest indication yet that the Bush administration is fine-tuning its shock-troops so it can roll up tens of thousands of people at a moment’s notice and toss them into the newly-built Halliburton detention centers. This should be a red flag for anyone who cares at all about human rights, civil liberties, or simply saving his own skin.

Operation Falcon was allegedly the brainchild of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and his counterpart in the US Marshal's office, (Director) Ben Reyna. But its roots go much deeper into the nexus of right-wing Washington think tanks where fantasies of autocratic government have a long history. The name, Falcon, is an acronym for “Federal and Local Cops Organized Nationally.” It relates to the more than 960 state, local and federal agencies which are directly involved in the administration’s expansive criminal dragnets.

Typically, law enforcement agencies are protective of their own turf and wary of outside intervention. The Falcon program overrides these concerns by streamlining the information-sharing processes and setting up a chain-of-command structure that radiates from the Justice Department. This removes many of the traditional obstacles to agency interface. It also relocates the levers of power in Washington where thy can be manned by members of the Bush administration.

Dictatorships require strong centralized authority and the Falcon program is a logical corollary of that ambition. It creates new inroads for Bush to assume greater control over the nationwide police-state apparatus. That alone should be sufficient reason for alarm.

The first Operation Falcon took place during the week of April 4 to April 10, 2005. According to the US Marshal’s official website, “The emphasis centered on gang related crimes, homicides, crimes involving use of a weapon, crimes against children and the elderly, crimes involving sexual assaults, organized crime and drug related fugitives, and other crimes of violence.” More than 10,000 criminal suspects were arrested in a matter of days. It was the largest criminal sweep in the nation’s history and, according to U.S. Marshall chief Ben Reyna, “produced the largest number of arrests ever recorded during a single initiative.” The Washington Times noted, “The sweep was a virtual clearinghouse for warrants on drug, gang, gun and sex-offender suspects nationwide.”

The emphasis was clearly on quantity not quality.

Still, this doesn’t explain why state and federal agencies had to be integrated with local law enforcement simply to carry out routine police work.

More importantly, it doesn’t explain why local police ignored their duty to protect the public just so they could coordinate with outside agencies. According to one report “162 accused or convicted of murder” were picked up in the first sweep. That means that the police knowingly left murderers on the street and put the public at risk while they orchestrated their raids with federal agencies.

That’s irresponsible. It also suggests that there may be a more sinister motive behind the program than just ensuring public safety. The plan appears to have been devised to enhance the powers of the “unitary” executive by putting state and local law enforcement under federal supervision. Once again, it’s an attempt by the administration to extend its grip to the state and local level. We saw a similar strategy unfold after Hurricane Katrina when the Bush administration used the tragedy to seize control of local police and National Guard units so they could establish de facto martial law. Troops, armored vehicles and mercenaries were deployed to New Orleans to fight lawlessness and looting even though desperate people were still stranded on their rooftops waiting for food, water and medical attention.

Operation FALCON II was another massive dragnet which covered the western half of the country and focused primarily on “violent sex offenders”. The raids took place from April 17-23, and succeeded in apprehending 9,037 alleged fugitives. The US Marshals web site boasts that the operation “took some of the country's most dangerous wanted criminals off the streets and made America's communities safer”.

Nonsense. Despite the claims of success, only 462 “violent sex crime” suspects were arrested, along with 1,094 “unregistered sex offenders” and other minor “sex crime” suspects. That leaves 7,481 suspects who were rounded up for other unrelated reasons.

Who are they and what crime did they commit? Were these drug violations, dads who were delinquent on child-support payments, traffic tickets, jay-walking?!?

7,481 people who were incarcerated are unaccounted by the government’s estimate. This means that the bulk of them were probably undocumented workers who were shunted off to the INS (Immigration and Naturalization) or dispatched to Cheney’s tent-city gulags in western Texas. (See: Democracy Now “Human Rights Groups Call for Closure of Texas Jail Holding Undocumented Immigrants” 2-23-07)

Similar inconsistencies appear in “Operation FALCON III, which covered the eastern half of the country from October 22 - 28, 2006.” State, local and federal police-units arrested 10,773 fugitives; including 1,659 sex offenders, 971 unregistered sex offenders, 364 gang members, 140 homicide suspects, and 3,609 drug violations. Once again, the US Marshal’s official tally doesn’t pencil out. This time, 4,030 extra people were rounded up without any further explanation.

Who are they and have they been charged with a crime?

Furthermore, sex offenders, drug users and gang-bangers are not what we normally consider “some of the country's most dangerous wanted criminals”. In fact, there are indications that the great majority of these people are not violent at all. For example, of the 30,110 total fugitives who were apprehended in all three Falcon sweeps, a measly 586 firearms were seized.

Clearly, the people who were arrested for the most part were not “armed and dangerous” nor were they a serious threat to public safety. They were probably just the unwitting victims of an overzealous US Marshals office and an ideologically-driven Justice Department.

So, what was the real impetus for the Falcon raids? Was it just a bean-counting exercise to see how many people would fit in the back of a Paddy-wagon or are they a dress rehearsal for future crackdowns on potential enemies of the state?

Bogus News Reports

The Falcon operation illustrates the incestuous relationship between the media and the state. They are two wings on the same plane. The Justice Department provided the TV networks with official footage of policemen and government agents raiding homes and handcuffing suspects; and the media dutifully aired the video on stations across the country. The scenes were accompanied by a reassuring commentary lauding the administration’s new crime fighting strategies and linking homeland security with the nebulous war on terror.

Attorney General Gonzales told reporters, “Operation FALCON is an excellent example of President Bush’s direction and the Justice Department’s dedication to deal both with the terrorist threat and traditional violent crime.” He added, “This joint effort shows the commitment of our federal, state, and local partners to make our neighborhoods safer, and it has led to the highest number of arrests ever recorded for a single initiative of its kind.”

So far, not one of the more than 30,000 victims has been charged with a terror-related crime.

The media-hype surrounding the raids has been celebratory and uniform; cookie-cutter articles appeared throughout the US press (most of them unsourced) highlighting the cooperation between the divers agencies while providing an upbeat account of what amounts to police repression. Thousands of nearly identical articles appeared in the nation’s newspapers which seem to have been authored by high-ranking officials at Homeland Security and protégés of George Orwell; although the difference between the two is far from certain.

Even stranger, most of the articles in the mainstream media can no longer be retrieved via a Google search. They seem to have vanished into the black-hole of Homeland propaganda.

No matter. If the media was supposed to make Gestapo-like crackdowns look like normal police operations; they succeeded admirably. Mission accomplished.

Former Governor of Louisiana, Huey Long once opined, “When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in an American flag.” Indeed, he could have added that the corporate media will gladly provide the flag and the public relations campaign as they have with Falcon.

Falcon; new drills for a new world order

The Falcon operations can only be understood in the broader context of the ongoing assault on the constitutional system of checks and balances; including the repeal of habeas corpus, warrantless wiretaps and searches, and the use of torture.

For the last 6 years, the Bush administration has been busy dismantling the legal safeguards which protect the citizen from the arbitrary and, oftentimes, ruthless actions of the state. To that end, detention camps are being prepared by Halliburton within the U.S., secret courts have been established which deny due process of law, American citizens are arrested without charge, law enforcement is increasingly militarized, and the media has strengthened its alliance with the central government.

Additionally, in October 2006, George Bush quietly changed the Insurrection Act, which prevented the President from deploying troops inside the United States. Bush’s revision effectively overturns the Posse Comitatus Act which put strict limits on the executive’s power to use US troops in domestic situations. Just days earlier Bush signed a similar bill, "The John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007" which gives Bush the power to take command of National Guard units across the country which are traditionally under the control of the state governors.

Without fanfare, Bush has taken control of all armed forces and militias inside and outside of the country and now has a monopoly on all the state-sanctioned tools of organized violence. It’s a coup that could never have succeeded without the tacit cooperation of the media.

Bush is now free to declare martial law in response to a natural disaster, a pandemic or a terrorist attack. The congress is powerless to stop him.

Also, Bush recently signed the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which allows the president to arbitrarily declare citizens and non citizens “enemy combatants” and imprison them indefinitely without charge. The new law gives Bush the authority to disregard the Geneva Conventions and the 8th amendment’s ban on “cruel and unusual” punishment and apply “harsh interrogation” which may include torture. The act effectively repeals habeas corpus, the cornerstone of American jurisprudence and the Bill of Rights.

The Military Commissions Act cannot coexist with the US Constitution; the two are mutually exclusive.

The Military Commissions Act, The John Warner Defense Authorization Act, the Homeland Security Act, the Patriot Act, and the myriad presidential signing statements have conferred absolute power on George Bush. The question is whether or not some incident will arise that will persuade Bush to use his extraordinary new powers.

General Tommy Franks predicted that a “massive, casualty producing event” might cause “our population to question our own Constitution and begin to militarize our country;” a scenario that many see as likely now.

Is that it? Will another terrorist attack provide the rationale for overturning republican government and declaring martial law?

If so, then we should know what to expect.

According to FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) it would mean “the suspension of the normal functions of civilian government, implying the cancellation or postponement of state and federal elections.” (Global Research) It would also “close public and government facilities not critical for continuity of essential operations.” (FEMA)

Northern Command would assume control and under “the classified 'Continuity of Government” (COG) Operations Plan' a secret 'shadow government' would become functional, redeploying key staff to secret locations.” (Global Research)

Also, “all forms of public gatherings or citizen's protests which question the legitimacy of the emergency procedures and the installation of a police state” would be banned. The military would be deployed to carry out “police and judicial” functions.

Martial law in the US would be applied with the utmost attention to public sensibilities and perceptions, avoiding the garish display of force we see in Iraq. It would be a “kinder and gentler” martial law with a limited number of military personnel on the streets (just enough to remind us that things have changed) and an emphasis on “preemptive” policing operations. (Expect Falcons’ 4, 5 and 6 etc) It would probably be disguised by a carefully crafted public relations campaign and a predictably cheery moniker, such as, “The Security Enhancement and Homeland Fortification Act”. The possibilities are limitless.

The Bush administration is also prepared if some unforeseen tragedy befalls congress, like another anthrax attack.

In fact, the American Enterprise Institute, to which the Bush team is closely aligned, has already "issued proposals for the operation of Congress following a catastrophic terrorist attack". They advocate the "APPOINTING" of individuals to the House of Representatives "to fill the seats of dead or incapacitated members, a first in American history" "The Continuity of Government Commission is self-commissioned', its members being neither elected nor appointed by any government body and mostly made up of professional lobbyists". (Read the whole article: http://www.conservativeusa.org/cog-ronpaul.htm) (Coincidentally, Newsweek article “White House Rehearses for Domestic Attack” 2-23-07; “The White House is staging a high-level exercise Saturday to test responses to the prospect of a massive domestic terrorist attack.” These drills are a critical part of the C.O.G. regimen dating back to the Reagan administration)

According to the AEI’s plan, the future United States congress will be comprised of lobbyists and industry representatives. What else would one expect from an organization that believes that corporate interests should determine policy?

These are the chilling precedents which have paved the way for further government lawlessness and abuse. They foreshadow the ominous transition from representative government to autocratic rule; from inalienable rights to martial law.

The Falcon operations are just a small part of this larger paradigm. The program is not designed for rounding up minor crooks and drug dealers, (which no one really cares about anyway) but for removing leftists, dissidents and political rivals. These are the real targets. The power of the state is measured in terms of how effectively it defeats or eliminates its enemies. And, the Bush administration has shown a remarkable aptitude for crushing its rivals.

The Crawford Fuehrer

One day, after a particularly savage domestic purge; we can expect President Bush to stride to the presidential podium and reiterate the same words that were uttered by his German predecessor 60 years ago:

"If anyone reproaches me and asks why I did not resort to the regular courts of justice, then all I can say is this: In this hour I was responsible for the fate of the American people, and thereby I became the supreme judge of the American people….Everyone must know for all future time that if he raises his hand to strike the State, then certain death is his lot."
