Pentagon: “Psychologically Devastating” Microwave Weapon Can Cause People to Hear Voices in Their Heads

February 20th, 2008

Via: Wired:

Application of the microwave hearing technology could facilitate a private message transmission. It may be useful to provide a disruptive condition to a person not aware of the technology. Not only might it be disruptive to the sense of hearing, it could be psychologically devastating if one suddenly heard “voices within one’s head.”

Because the frequency of the sound heard is dependent on the pulse characteristics of the RF energy, it seems possible that this technology could be developed to the point where words could be transmitted to be heard like the spoken word, except hat it could only be heard within a person’s head. In one experiment, communication of the words from one to ten using “speech modulated” microwave energy was successfully demonstrated. Microphones next to the person experiencing the voice could not pick up the sound. Additional development of this would open up a wide range of possibilities.

This technology requires no extrapolation to estimate its usefulness. Microwave energy can be applied at a distance, and the appropriate technology can be adapted from existing radar units. Aiming devices likewise are available but for special circumstances which require extreme specificity, there may be a need for additional development. Extreme directional specificity would be required to transmit a message to a single hostage surrounded by his captors. Signals can be transmitted long distances (hundreds of meters) using current technology. Longer distances and more sophisticated signal types will require more bulky equipment, but it seems possible to transmit some of the signals at closer ranges using man-portable equipment.

    Old hat. They had microwave voice-to-skull technology several decades ago. Since then, psychotronics has gone from basic to highly refined. It is the perfect plausibly-deniable means to get rid of dissidents or drive them to suicide or into psychiatry. It is the Gulag of the supposedly free and democratic nations. Here are the victims: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22psychotronic+torture%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
