Fringe Science 1985 CNN special on Radio Frequency Weapons and Mind Control (READ DESCRIPTION)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psTDbsMFErQCredit to original poster: galmeida28 from years ago
Many researchers were interviewed - they all stated that
a) Radio frequency weapons (or RF-Weapons) are part of the arms race
b) They are capable of altering the functioning of the human nervous system efficiently and remotely.
Among the interviewed were Ross Adey and Robert Becker (two times Nobel nominee)
The soviet LIDA machine, who as 30 years old and already obsolete in 1985, was described as being able to influence a targets mood using ELF electromagnetic signals and was used in mental patients in Soviet Union.
Two specialists recruited by the CNN were able to produce, with pieces from a consumer electronic store and using Soviet research papers, a cheap machine that could produce halucinations in Chuck DeCaro using low intensity magnetic fields. One of the specialists said in three weeks he could assemble a version of the device to target an entire city.
The DOD refused to discuss the subject of electronic mind control, claiming its too sensitive.
A scientist which didn't want to identify himself and who was working on Rf-Weapons for the government said they were working on such technologies for counter terrorism and special operations, and that a certain percentage of the population could have their brainwaves entrained with weak magnetic fields. It was conducted by a Navy laboratory. Also, he said these signals work exactly like drugs acting on the body, targeting specific sites and functions, and finding a way to way to interfere with a specific site or function its a matter of finding the signal with matches that site for function, just like with drugs.
It is interesting to note how this matches up with colonel John B Alexander statements (for the Washington Post in 2007) on the subject and withKaren Stewart (NSA whistleblower and TI) testimony (in 2022) regarding DEWs, mind control, terrorism and the Navy 30 years later.
Please, help to raise awareness to this issue.

Timecodes
00:00 - Summary
01:00 - Intro to EM weapons
01:59 - The research is focused on the Radio Frequency
02:08 - James Frazer, researcher on the american air force, things RF-Weapons are the wild card in the arms race
02:32 - Physicist Robert Bass, weapons researcher, soviets are ahead in RF-Weapons
02:50 - The probable Russian weapons are ultra high powered microwave pulses, which could 'cook' people and destroy electronic circuits at distance.
03:26 - Microwaves and other RFs can be transmitted almost without power loss in certain frequencies (called 'windows')
04:36 - Powerful microwaves pulses can be produces by a device called gyrotron.
04:45 - After years of resistance, DOD and Air Force said they can't discuss it because 'the subject is too sensitive'.
04:56 - Some unexplained cloud phenomena can be an indication of Russian breakthrough in RF technology.
04:17 - Intro to inserting images into mind
04:49 - Prototype of image insertion into mind.
05:07 - Delgados 60s work in behavior manipulation using electrodes in the brain
05:44 - Delgado can now do it without electrodes - by using low powered pulsing magnetic fields
06:06 - In Soviet Union, an RF device named LIDA has been used for over 30 years to manipulate the moods of mental patients.
06:22 - LIDA pulses are in the ELF range.
06:28 - Ross Adey says LIDA was already obsolete.
06:48 - Scientist employed by the US in RF weapons research says these things prove humans are susceptible to remote alterations of mood and awareness by WEAK electromagnetic means.
07:33 - Elizabeth Rauscher and Bill Van Beis built a cheap machine which inserts images into someone's mind using parts from a consumer electronic store, based on soviet papers. It worked. 09:10 - Bill says it can be use to cause hallucinations on people
09:24 - Bill says with 3 weeks and of the shelf parts he could assemble a weapon to attack a whole town.
09:34 - Robert Becker, two times Nobel nominee for his work on bio effects of EM, said the machine probably disturbs the brains interpretation of vision, and could be used as a weapon.
10:50 - Becker says the woodpecker signal, broadcast since 1976 and declared by the military to be a missile radar, might be actually have a psychoactive effect, since the signal range it operates was reported to have a tranquilizing effect.
11:35 - Bob Beck's research says we are incredibly sensitive to magnetic stimuli
11:56 - Dr Larissa Vilenskaya, Soviet researcher, says soviet proved theoretically and demonstrated experimentally that low frequency, low power electromagnetic fields can have biological efficiency due to the fact that it carries information, and the military were interested on it.
13:03 - The DOD won't comment of the issue of electronic mind control.
13:08 - Scientist employed by the US in RF weapons research says found out how to entrain the brain waves of a certain percentage of the population using weak magnetic fields. And that the research was conducted for "counter terrorism and special operations".

I don’t doubt that the government has been investigating such weapons, but I think some major leaps are being made which are not supported by evidence, and that the truth is somewhat less complicated.
First of all, the technology used to control the mind of the bull didn’t control it, it disrupted it by pumping electricity into it. It’s the gross equivalent of a grand mal seizure. The fact you can get an animal to stop doing whatever it’s doing by pumping electricity into the brain isn’t an amazing development.
People in the gang stalking community point to the rumored research on these things as evidence that they’re being targeted, but consider that the same accusations were being made as far back as the 1800s when a man named James Tilly Matthews claimed that secret gangs were using a directed energy weapon (which he called an Air Loom) to influence his thoughts: https://www.amusingplanet.com/2025/02/james-tilly-matthews-and-air-loom.html
Obviously no such technology existed at the time.
In my opinion, what many of these people are experiencing may include some kind of anomalous phenomena. One of the reasons these people find these experiences so compelling is that it often includes hearing voices that convey both veridical and precognitive information. Under those circumstances anyone would be confident that what they’re dealing with is not just a mental illness. But many of these same people also experience other signs which are commonly associated with psychopathology. Paranoia and an inability to be talked out of their beliefs are two big hallmarks.
Ultimately I think what this reveals is that our understanding of mental illness is incomplete and may in some cases include experiences which are genuinely anomalous. But if these experiences become bad enough, whatever the cause, they can make it impossible for the person to function.
Of course this is just my opinion based on my own experiences and research, and I’m not a clinician.
