Here are two branches of intelligence collection which point to a total information awareness program outside of DARPA's
Information Awareness Office.
NSA SIGINT
As many of you are aware, there are multiple
UKUSA facilities across the globe which intercept
communications traffic such as telephone/cellphone calls, faxes and Internet activity by tapping into fiber optic networks and satellite
transmissions. This
signals intelligence (SIGINT) network is known as ECHELON and
according to open information sources it collects all telecommunications traffic both foreign and domestic which is then analyzed by
National Security Agency (NSA) supercomputers for activity of interest. Here is an
official report by the European Parliament Temporary Committee on the ECHELON Interception System
[
1].
Here is a link to a KMZ file which you can open with
Google Earth to view various listening stations of the
ECHELON network as mentioned in the report [
2]. In the
satellite imagery you can see large spherical structures known as radomes some of which according to the report cover the microwave antenna used to
eavesdrop on telecommunications satellites such as the INTELSAT fleet.
You may also be familiar with the recent controversy over domestic wiretapping by the NSA in collaboration with major telecommunications companies
such as Verizon and AT&T. According to NSA whistleblower Russell Tice "it didn't matter whether you were in Kansas... and you never made... foreign
communications at all. They monitored all communications". He goes on to say "I'm sure the information -- the collection was digitized and put on
databases somewhere".
DIA MASINT
As I can attest from my own experience, the government's surveillance program does not end there. After some research I have come across a branch of
intelligence collection known as
Measurement and Signature Intelligence
(MASINT) which by definition would include remote measurement of brain signatures although you would be hard-pressed to find any official
documentation related to this as it is classified. This branch of intelligence is operated by a component of the
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) which is the primary military intelligence
agency of the Department of Defense (DoD).
US Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM)
headquartered in Nebraska is also charged with MASINT operations of which the subordinate command
JFCC-ISR is co-located
with the DIA. The
National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is the government
agency charged with the designing, building and operating of spy satellites and works closely with the DIA and NSA. These agencies and commands are
highly secretive and operate outside of common morals, ethics and laws so a circumspect set of assumptions and logic are necessary to uncover the
truth.
There are three components to this system which I have hypothesized as being necessary for it to operate:
1.
Underground Bases
Contrary to popular belief, underground bases are not just the speculation of fringe conspiracy theorists and science-fiction authors but are in fact
proven to exist which is not surprising considering the threat of nuclear attack during the Cold War. The main facility in the public eye is located
at
Mount Weather in Virginia and serves as the headquarters of a
component of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) responsible for continuity of government in the event of a national disaster. The former
headquarters of NORAD at
Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado is also known to the public yet
veiled in secrecy. Where the mind monitoring system is centrally located is currently unknown. Since it is a military target of high strategic value
as well as a socio-political threat, it is most likely well hidden and secure from attack.
2.
Quantum Computers
According to current predictions of the technological singularity by
Vernor Vinge and
Ray Kurzweil, artificial intelligence is expected to match or exceed biological intelligence in
20-30 years at which time quantum computing should be a reality. The human brain is roughly estimated to operate at 20 petaFLOPS (approximating 100
billion neurons with 1,000 synapses each where each synapse processes 200 operations per second). Right now the fastest unclassified supercomputer
Roadrunner at Los Alamos National Laboratories has sustained 1 petaFLOPS and occupies a
footprint of 560 sq. meters. Thus it would take a cluster of Roadrunners about the size of two football fields to match the raw processing power of
one human brain. Quantum computing would exponentially improve this space/time constraint by parallelizing operations using quantum superposition
which could
optimistically speed up the 1 petaFLOPS (10^15) binary computer to a 1 yottaFLOPS (10^24) 30-qubit quantum computer. This
exponential increase in processing power makes problems such as brain decoding and simulation feasible for a large portion, if not all, of the
population in a real-time network.
3.
Constellation of Remote-Sensing Satellites
As mentioned in an earlier post, a common misconception is that there will always be a 1-2 second lag for satellite communications as seen in
televised interviews from places like Iraq and Beijing. This lag is due to high-altitude satellites which operate roughly 36,000 km above the
Earth's surface. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are much closer operating between 160 and 2000 km. While this lower altitude decreases lag so as
to be imperceptible it also limits coverage area and thus requires multiple satellites operating as a constellation to attain global coverage. As an
example, the satellite phone company Iridium Satellite LLC has a constellation of 66 active satellites in low earth orbit (here is an animation
www.youtube.com...). Active sensors such as RADAR use electromagnetic radiation to evoke measurable responses from given
targets which for active brain sensors such as
fNIR is a signature related to neural activity. Remote
sensing using electromagnetic radiation can also be used to interact intelligibly with the brain. Pulsed/modulated electromagnetic radiation has been
shown to induce what is known as the
microwave hearing effect which evolved
from rudimentary clicks in the 1940s to voiced communication in the 1970s. Also, infrared lasers have been shown to control the firing of nerves in
rats. These remote means of non-invasive interaction with the brain preclude any requirement for radio-frequency chips or neural implants. Since LEO
satellite constellations can establish line-of-sight paths with imperceptible lag between any two points on the Earth's surface they are the most
likely choice for a real-time global surveillance network.
International Committee on Offensive Microwave Weapons
This site has a series of selected articles which clearly establish government interest and some progress in remote mind control research since the
years of MKULTRA in the 1960s. The maintainer of the site, Harlan Girard, claims to have been affected by remote mind control since the 1980s and has
made it his life's mission to exposing what he calls the Electronic Concentration Camp System (ECCS).
Mind Games
The Washington Post did an unfavorable, if not derisive, article on remote mind control which included an interview with Harlan Girard of ICOMW. The
author's arguments highlight the perceived mental illness of the victims, the existence of paranoid-schizophrenics in the years prior to advanced
technology and the lack of any definitive proof that such technologies exist and are being used on the civilian population.
If you are skeptical then I suggest you truly get involved in researching this topic in whatever way you can.
