The Voice of God Weapon

December 25th, 2007

Via: Wired:

The Voice of God weapon — a device that projects voices into your head to make you think God is speaking to you — is the military’s equivalent of an urban myth. Meaning, it’s mentioned periodically at defense workshops (ironically, I first heard about it at the same defense conference where I first met Noah), and typically someone whispers about it actually being used. Now Steven Corman, writing at the COMOPS journal, describes his own encounter with this urban myth:

At a government workshop some time ago I head someone describe a new tool that was described as the “voice of Allah.” This was said to be a device that would operate at a distance and would deliver a message that only a single person could hear. The story was that it was tested in a conflict situation in Iraq and pointed at one insurgent in a group, who whipped around looking in all directions, and began a heated conversation with his compatriots, who did not hear the message. At the time I greeted this story with some skepticism.

Is there any basis to this technology? Well, Holosonic Research Labs and American Technology Corporation both have versions of directed sound, which can allow a single person to hear a message that others around don’t hear. DARPA appears to be working on its own sonic projector. Intriguingly, Strategy Page reports that troops are using the Long Range Acoustic Device as a modified Voice of God weapon:

It appears that some of the troops in Iraq are using “spoken” (as opposed to “screeching”) LRAD to mess with enemy fighters. Islamic terrorists tend to be superstitious and, of course, very religious. LRAD can put the “word of God” into their heads. If God, in the form of a voice that only you can hear, tells you to surrender, or run away, what are you gonna do?

And as Corman also notes, CNET recently wrote about an advertisement in New York for A&E’s TV show Paranormal State, which uses some of this technology. Beyond directed sound, it’s long been known that microwaves at certain frequencies can produce an auditory effect that sounds like it’s coming from within someone’s head (and there’s the nagging question of classified microwave work at Brooks Air Force Base, that the Air Force stubbornly refuses to talk about).

    It exists. I have had first hand experience with it.

    There is something out there bigger and better than all of us, and anyone who attempts to imitate God or a divine being is going to be in alot of trouble for their crimes against humanity.

    God is way above all of us, he isn’t down here, and anyone who thinks they have his voice under control is just fooling themselves.

    The devil has control of the earth as it stands, and if people are controlling voices inside the heads of others, then they (as being earthly creatures) are doing the devils work.

    I won’t say any more on the matter, but the technology does exist and it is way beyond evil.

    Reminds me of the some of the ideas in book The Men Who Stare at Goats by Jon Ronson.

    But sure if they can heat you, why not a chat ray too?

    Be fun when the police get to play with this.

    This type of thing has been around for a while in the audio world, and is pretty cool, outside of the evil government scenario. Here’s one example, which is a narrow beam of sound

    and there’s another method which uses multiple ultrasonic transmitters displaced from each other which meet at their junction to form sound only at that single point, for instance

    And here’s Microsoft’s version:

    Kevin, thanks for posting. Interesting timing for this as I just finished reading Gloria Naylor’s book “1996” – It’s not the greatest read in the world, but I believe her when she describes the harrassment. The fictional part –how the NSA carries out their bullshit– is basically just filler. It ends with her getting zapped by this voice-to-skull (V2K) technology.

    Of course, she thinks that she’s going crazy and her psychiatrist throws pills at her issues.

    Which brings me to this superb piece:

    …it’s basically psychiatrists debunking their own profession by answering one simple question.

    Psychiatry is idiotic.

    Humans understand less than 10% of how the human mind works, IIRC. If you scored 10% on an exam at university, you would be failed.

    Psychiatrists, with their extremely limited knowledge of the mind, then try and diagnose people with mental illnesses.

    Let’s discuss antipsychotic medication.

    The modern atypical antipsychotics patients are prescribed with these days are very experimental. Humanity is being used as guinea pigs, legally, and often without the consent of the victim.

    The SIDE EFFECTS of the drugs that the patients are given result in the desired SIDE EFFECT the psychiatrists are looking for.

    Psychiatrists do not understand how exactly these chemicals work on the brain, or whether they are causing permanent long term damage.

    They don’t really care either.

    They think it’s ok if they don’t know what permanent damage they are causing could be, as long as there is a temporary short term fix.

    The vast majority of patients prescribed antipsychotics are on them for life.

    The psychiatry profession will tell their patients the drugs are not addictive, but they are, extremely so for some people.

    The drug slows the mind down so much that when the person comes off the drug, their mind goes back to normal and they aren’t used to it. This can lead to a ‘relapse’ or psychosis.

    This isn’t always a psychosis. It can just be stress brought on by someone having lost self control and having to regain it.

    Notice how alot of people are angry when they wake up? It is a very similar principle.

    Meditation is the best medication, at least that is what I always say. It is an all natural way to slow your mind down and relax you, and there are no unnatural chemicals being added to the brain with potentially DEADLY long lasting effects.

    Todays antipsychotics make you gain weight, can cause paralysis, involuntary muscle twitching and even death.

    The public is unaware of this, and the doctors will not discuss it with the patients usually, because the doctors feel they know everything there is to know with their passing mark of 10%, and that the person who has experienced first hand and not just witnessed the symptoms of a psychosis is an idiot with know knowledge.

    Reading the travel brochure is nothing like going on the holiday.

    Psychiatry as a profession has to realise this. They do not have all the answers. They do not even have a decent percentage of answers.

    The question is, “Does it work on atheists?”

    @TrackHousingScout:

    That video was produced and posted by Scientologists.
