CASES SOLVED!! Ex-NSA Whistleblower, William Binney, Exposes Covert Torture (Gangstalking) Program By NSA/CIA/FBI “Deep State” (June, 2020 video/article)

Excerpt Intel Coup William Binney (June 22, 2020)

Webmaster’s Comment: It is great to see publicity given to this important and highly censored subject, which comprises a “crime against humanity” of colossal proportions and which is the main subject of this website (now about 1500 posts).

Obviously, each of these nefarious criminal activities constitutes the highest treason against the Constitution and the American people and these individuals, agencies, and corporations must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and punished accordingly. Such blatant and unscrupulous criminality must not be permitted to prevail.

NSA Whistleblower Reveals Covert Torture Program on RT America

TOPICS: Chevalier De Lorimier Conspiracy Directed Energy Weapons Human Rights Mind Control NSA Whistleblowers

JUNE 12, 2020

by Chevalier de Lorimier

On April 11, 2020, the former Technical Director of the NSA, William Binney, and Pulitzer-prize winning Chris Hedges were discussing on RT America TV the abuses committed by U.S. intelligence agencies since the ’60s, when suddenly the link between mass surveillance and covert electromagnetic torture of innocent civilians was uncovered – a shocking first on American television.

HEDGES: “We’ve raised it [mass surveillance] to a whole new level now”.

BINNEY: “It’s the same three agencies [NSA, FBI, CIA] today doing the same thing on a much larger, more comprehensive scale”.

HEDGES: “So this intelligence becomes actionable in terms of carrying out dirty tricks…”

BINNEY: “Yes, yes, it gives you leverage, at which point you know everybody, what they’re doing, what they’re thinking, what they’re planning…. I mean, you have the opportunity to manipulate them in any way you want by causing certain things to occur, making certain suggestions in certain areas or simply outright blackmail against them… or against somebody they really care about. So you have an opportunity to do all of that. […]. Also, it gives them the opportunity to do any kind of things, like using existing kinds of weapons, like the Cubans did in our embassy [in 2016-2017], or the Russians did with microwaves in our embassy in Moscow [in the ’60s]. They can do the same thing here with other people and we have some people complaining that’s in fact what is happening.”

HEDGES: “Explain the microwave, how it works.”

BINNEY, touching his cheek: “Well, what it will do, certain microwave frequencies coming at you will burn your skin and actually burn it down to a certain depth…

HEDGES: “And it goes through walls…”

BINNEY: “Yes, yes, it can go through walls. But they also have other kinds of laser-type things that can be even more intense… And they can use infrared to find out where you are while you are inside your building.”

For many years, in numerous speeches and in-depth interviews including PBS’ Frontline, William Binney had been issuing dire warnings on the rise of the Orwellian state but had never before delivered such a chilling message about the covert assaults against innocent civilians with classified weapons.

“We already knew about the voyeuristic Surveillance State, but Bill has just outed its psychopathic twin, the State of Oppression”, quips Louis Fournier, a Harvard Ph.D. whose activism has focused on freedom of speech, social justice and nonviolent change. Now retired and living in Canada, he’s been a Targeted Individual (T.I.) for almost seven years and knows firsthand about microwave burns: “Bill is not making any of this up and I have photos to prove it. One night as I lay sleeping in my bedroom, I was awakened by an unusual sensation to the left leg. I turned on the light and found a strange looking burn, about 3 inches long by 1.5 inches wide.” Fournier knew the wound had been inflicted by a microwave weapon – “through the wall”, as Binney says – but was nevertheless startled to find the burn took a full six months to heal: “Once again, Bill is spot on, as these kinds of burns are inflicted deep under the skin and are known to be very slow to heal”.

The brilliant and compassionate mental health professional who published in late 2016, under the pen name June Ti, the definitive book on organized stalking and electronic harassment, paid an extremely high price for her labors. “In the spring of 2014”, she recounts, “seated at a laptop writing No Ordinary Stalking, my left breast was spontaneously burned, resulting in a shock response of shaking, sweating, crying, and nausea. The nipple had completely disappeared within the massive burn and I wondered if it would peel off. Energy attacks on both breasts continued for about 18 months. Top-body clothing, anything touching the re-burned breasts, resulted in sickening pain.” As she ploughed on heroically to finish her 480-page tome, the assaults only worsened: “In early 2015, before my breasts had healed, my genitalia were spontaneously burned while I was watching a documentary on the couch. My genitalia looked, and felt, as if gasoline had been poured and a match struck. A year and a half later, I was still slathering my genitalia twice a day with burn ointment.” And that was not the end of it: “Today, my face suffers from laser holes, some as big as a pencil eraser. I wake up with them. My guess is that the perpetrators of this crime are trying to make me too ashamed of my appearance to engage in public speaking. Hair loss, likely from radiation, is so extensive that I am wig shopping.”

An element of perversion seems at play here, as a majority of T.I.s are women – often attractive, intelligent, highly creative women – and many are sadistically targeted in their sexuality and appearance. Horrific mutilations to the face and genitalia have been reported for decades, with photos to prove it. So female T.I.s seem to get targeted as women, at the very heart of their femininity. As for the perpetrators, males constitute a strong majority and their psychology offers striking parallels with that of the Internet ‘incels’ – or involuntary celibates – who harbor an uncontrollable rage against the women they’ve been unable to attract into their lives. Incels seem to be at war with those they contemptuously term the “normies”, the “Tracys and the Chads”, who appear to have everything they do not. In 2018, an incel rammed a rented van into a group of pedestrians in Toronto, killing 10 people, including 8 women. The Guardian reported that” Alek Minassian said after his arrest he drew inspiration from men who used violence as retribution for ‘being unable to get laid’.” See also “Involuntary Celibates are an ‘emerging domestic terrorism threat’ as Texas warns of an ‘Incel Rebellion’”.

Tellingly, the targeting of a female T.I. often begins shortly after she refuses a man’s advances. That is in fact what happened to June Ti, to fashion model Ella Felder The Truth About Targeted Individuals – Karen Stewart, Ella Free & Kev Baker and to engineer Helena Csorba who recently shared her story online here.

Midge Mathis has been an advocate for human rights in various capacities for her entire adult life. Stalked, harassed and tortured since August 2014, she’s become a highly respected and courageous TI activist and has made several trips to Washington to educate elected officials about organized stalking and electronic harassment (OS/EH). “The most horrific abuse has been the severe radiation burns to my face and eyes, she reports. On my birthday in 2015, I was burned with radiation while sleeping in my bed. An ophthalmologist confirmed radiation burns to my eyes. My doctor and attorney also witnessed everything” (see photos). The daily stress has taken a heavy toll on her health and like most T.I.s, she’s received no help whatsoever from law enforcement: “It’s like police departments are playing games with me. Reports get mysteriously altered, destroyed or never even written”.

The last six years have been a long, hard road for Midge Mathis, but she refuses to give up. Instead, she is determined to expose the atrocities that are being committed against her and her fellow T.I.s. She hypothesizes that classified weapons may be illegally used against human guinea pigs under an Unacknowledged Special Access Program (USAP) called the Targeted Individual Program. Expert David Hambling confirms that such programs are covered by a level of security higher than ‘Top Secret’ and that even presidents may be kept in the dark (Weapons Grade, London, Constable, 2005, p.179-180). Presidents and Congress are not always informed of all of the USAPs or ‘black’ projects. Is such extreme secrecy even compatible with democracy? If used as a fig leaf used to cover up a criminal program, it would undoubtedly be a particularly serious violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Speaking of crime, NSA Whistleblower Russ Tice knew a lot about ‘deep black programs’ and had this to say to Amy Goodman in 2006:

I specialized in what’s known as black world operations and programs that are very closely held, things that happen in operations and programs in the intelligence community that are closely held, and for the most part these programs are very beneficial to ultimately getting information and protecting the American people. But in some cases, I think, classification levels at these special — we call them special access programs, SAPs — could be used to mask, basically, criminal wrongdoing. So I think that’s something ultimately Congress needs to address, as well, because from what I can see, there is not a whole lot of oversight when it comes to some of these deep black programs.

Shockingly, in a September 13, 2006 article in the Houston Chronicle, Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne was quoted as saying: “Non-lethal weapons such as high-powered microwave devices should be used on American citizens in crowd-control situations before they are used on the battlefield”. The very first physician to examine the energy-injured U.S. diplomats in Havana, Dr. Michael Ellis Hoffer, of the University of Miami Concussion Program, has also examined hundreds of Targeted Individuals from all over the world and, after thorough testing, has diagnosed them with brain injuries similar to those of the diplomats. This reporter has in his possession a scan of one of Dr. Hoffer’s medical reports, dated December 4, 2019, in which he describes the patient as a “Microwave Targeted Individual”. T.I.s all over the world hailed this as a historic development as it constitutes the first official recognition of their plight by medical science (PACTS INTERNATIONAL newsletter, December 13, 2019).

In December 2018, Dr. Hoffer et al. published a ground-breaking journal article on the diplomats found to be suffering from Havana Syndrome. In no less than three different sections of the report, the scientists emphasize that this newly-recognized condition is not limited to a group of 55 diplomats, as “new cases have been reported all over the globe affecting individuals from many countries”. And all three sections of the article include a call to doctors and caregivers to learn about the symptom patterns of Havana Syndrome, as this is ‘crucial’ to making a proper diagnosis of this widespread condition. An earlier report by Drs. Hoffer, Balaban and Giordano focused on the question of the weapons used.

Surely the kind of weapons we are looking at must be new, ultrasophisticated technology, and that would explain why we’d never heard of them before the Cuban event of 2016-17? Truth be told, these weapons only sound exotic and star-trekky to us because the mainstream media as a whole have kept so very quiet about them for decades. A bit of research will confirm that the military and/or intelligence agencies have been suspected of using energy weapons against their own civilians for at least forty years – and not just in the U.S.

If that sounds like wild conspiracy theory, consider the well-documented case of the Women of Greenham Common in the UK. They began to peacefully protest in 1981 over the presence of cruise missiles on a U.S. Army base. A few years later, the women of the Peace Camp began to experience illness.

Readings taken with a wide range signal strength meter showed marked increases in the background signal level near one of the women’s camps at a time when they claimed to be experiencing ill effects, including vertigo, retinal bleeding, burnt face (even at night), nausea, sleep disturbances, palpitations, loss of concentration, loss of memory, disorientation, severe headaches, temporary paralysis, faulty speech coordination, irritability and a sense of panic in non-panic situations, and in one case, a circulatory failure that required emergency treatment, Many of these symptoms have been associated in medical literature with exposure to microwaves.” Source

As we’ve suggested, rabid misogynists seem involved in this crime. So do sadopedophiles, as children, even tiny infants, are routinely tormented, burned or electronically raped, sometimes even murdered. For over eighteen years, June Ti has been offering crisis counseling for free to hundreds of T.I.s all over the world and is well qualified to write the following: “Most troubling is the high number of targets’ children who die or go missing, including adult children. In my circle of a dozen close targeted friends, seven young children died in the parents’ first three years of the crime and a twenty-nine-year-old has been missing for over a decade.” (No Ordinary Stalking, 2016, p. 64-65). The author notes that the parents are in a terrible situation, for upon seeking medical care for their child they are often accused of abuse and investigated.

June Ti recounts the particularly heartbreaking case of the Newfoundland senior whose grandchild was targeted with directed energy. The top of the infant’s head was severely burned with a beam. The following week, the old man’s head was beamed so fiercely while he was having dinner with his family that he was rushed to the hospital. Soon afterwards his retriever was poisoned. Why? “The old fellow did nothing wrong. He got chosen at a political meeting, being outspoken for all that is right”(p.144-5). No surprise there, as dissidents and whistleblowers all over the world are among the primary targets of OS/EH.

Anyone doubting that such cruelty is even conceivable may want to have a look at the well-documented case of famous American actress Jean Seberg, who was targeted by the FBI throughout the seventies. The FBI under J. Edgar Hoover’s 55-year reign persecuted any private citizen it deemed “dangerous” to the status quo. They included civil rights and social activists – including Martin Luther King Jr. – feminist organizations, anti-Vietnam war protesters, the Communist Party, etc. Hoover was also suspicious of anyone wearing a beard. Curt Gentry’s 848-page tome, J Edgar Hoover: The Man And The Secrets (Norton, 2001) confirms Eleanor Roosevelt’s view that Hoover’s FBI was an American gestapo. Hoover decided that Jean Seberg fit neatly in his category of “political deviants”, as she had become a member of the NAACP at age 14 and continued to donate to civil rights groups. Under the covert COINTELPRO, the FBI embarked on a heinous campaign to vilify the young actress.

Was Richard Nixon the first perp-president? ‘Tricky Dick’ relished the regular updates provided by his pal J. Edgar on Seberg’s descent to hell. Two middle-aged men getting their jollies from torturing a young woman remotely with classified technology, does it get more cowardly and degenerate? Years of sadistic targeting ended up destroying the actress and driving her to probable suicide at age 40.

Incidentally, countless T.I.s are similarly ‘suicided’ by the perpetrators of OS/EH. For them, suicide is the ideal outcome of a campaign to ‘neutralize’ a T.I. In the case of Dr. King, also targeted by COINTELPRO, Hoover had his henchmen record the pastor’s marital infidelities, send the tapes to his wife Coretta and enjoin the pastor to take his own life… The 1964 FBI letter to King is a classic of psychopathic prose.

Six days after the discovery of Seberg’s decomposing body, the FBI released documents under an FOIA request admitting that they had grievously defamed the young actress. “FBI Admits Spreading Lies About Jean Seberg”, Los Angeles Times, September 14, 1979. Not a word was uttered, however, about the top secret technologies used to undermine her physical and mental health over a decade. The FBI’s campaign against Seberg was further explored by Time magazine in a front page article, “The FBI vs. Jean Seberg” (September 24, 1979) The world never forgot this atrocity. An eye-opening book was published in 2015, Neutralized: The FBI VS. Jean Seberg, and last year a movie came out, Seberg (2019).

The scandal over the abuse the actress had undergone at FBI hands led to an examination of the case by the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, a.k.a. “the Church Committee”, which noted that notwithstanding FBI claims of reform, “COINTELPRO activities may continue today under the rubric of investigation”. (Cointelpro: The FBI’s Covert Action Programs Against American Citizens, United States Senate, April 23, 1976.)

Now that COINTELPRO seems to have reincarnated into a much larger and more ambitious program, in 2020 there appear to be tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Jean Sebergs in the U.S. alone. On March 24 of this year, another Hollywood actress died, Melinda Fee, who had also been involved in civil rights work. She had been a Targeted Individual for many years. Noted novelist Gloria Naylor, author of The Women of Brewster Place, addressed in her books social issues, racism, sexism and gay rights. She became a victim of OS/EH after a dispute with a neighbor whose boyfriend apparently worked for the NSA. Naylor published a remarkable book about her targeting, entitled 1996, but when she passed away in 2016 at the age of 66, not a peep was heard in the MSM about her 20-year nightmare. How many more Jean Sebergs and Melinda Fees and Gloria Naylors will have to die before the MSM emerge from their deep coma to demand a new Church-Committee-type Congressional investigation?

Upon hearing of the horrific torments that T.I.s endure day in and day out, many will ask: “Why don’t T.I.s simply call the police and get those psychopaths locked up” New T.I.s are shocked to realize that they elicit no sympathy whatsoever from 98% of police officers they approach: “Most cops don’t assist targets and their rescuers even when a child is threatened with murder as either retribution or intimidation”, writes June Ti in her authoritative tome (No Ordinary Stalking, p.115). “Worldwide, she notes, most police will not investigate OS crimes, not even when children are used as pawns. Don’t be swayed by cop-school smiles.”(p.266-268).

But wait, it gets worse: some officers seem to labor under the strange delusion that they are qualified to make a psychiatric diagnosis and will actually endeavor to get T.I.s institutionalized. Some aspiring cop-shrinks will even go so far as to charitably inform – without permission – family, friends and doctors of the TI that their loved one has gone bananas… Not only is this patently illegal and constitutes character assassination, but it smacks of ‘political psychiatry’ which was commonly used against dissidents in the former Soviet Union. Normal, healthy dissent was labeled a mental illness and an estimated one third of political prisoners got locked up in psychiatric hospitals. Nobel laureate Andrei Sakharov was under house arrest and forcibly medicated with the powerful antipsychotic drug haloperidol for his ‘condition’. (See Political Abuse of Psychiatry—An Historical Overview.) The link with the increasing trend toward ‘political policing’ should also be of concern. Will younger generations live in a global gulag? The FBI is reportedly implementing a new plan to spy on U.S. students as early as high school.

June Ti opines in her book that, just as almost all police forces seem to be actively covering up the crime, “a country’s intelligence network could be covering it up as well” (No Ordinary Stalking, p.269). Isn’t that precisely what Bill Binney suggests in the April 11 interview? The intel agencies do seem to work hand in hand with the military and the police in the context of this crime. It is said that Harvey Weinstein’s misdeeds were ‘an open secret’ in Hollywood for decades and it seems likely that the Targeted Individual Program is an open secret in top-level government, intel, military and police circles, and that covert, illegal nonconsensual human experimentation has been rationalized away as ‘essential to national security’.

It should be noted that cops, military personnel and intel agents are not at all immune from becoming Targeted Individuals and whistleblowers have been known to suffer severe retribution. In the case of Bill Binney, for example, in June 2007 a dozen FBI agents conducted an unannounced, armed, early morning raid in his home, pointing a gun at his and his wife’s head. (See the disturbing 2015 documentary “A Good American” on YouTube.) Bill’s NSA Whistleblower colleague J. Kirk Wiebe also paid a heavy price for denouncing “gross mismanagement”. Patriotism is risky business in this dark day and age. When JFK was assassinated in 1963, an old man warned Bob Dylan: “Son, the age of the Antichrist has only just begun”.

A new, covert arms race has been on for decades and the military are feverishly developing sophisticated weaponry to wage the “electromagnetic warfare” that Zbigniew Brzezinski was already predicting in the eighties. To test their new toys, the military are desperate for guinea pigs for purposes of “nonconsensual human experimentation”. While weapons research may be rationalized as a necessary evil, destroying the lives of decent, hard-working, law-abiding citizens in the process is without question illegal and unconstitutional. And what about the officials at all levels who’ve been averting their gaze for decades? Does their silence not make them complicit in this crime against humanity and blatant betrayal of the Constitution? And what of the role of the mainstream media whom Targeted Individuals have implored for decades to bring attention to their plight? Does their abject cowardice not make them complicit in the omertà? Where are the heroic investigative journalists of yore? Watergate is but a banal burglary compared to this worldwide assault against civilians whose ultimate goal seems to be what Bill Binney and many others term “total population control”.

So WIHN – why in hell’s name – aren’t the best minds of The Guardian, The London Times, Le Monde, The New York Times, The Telegraph, The Washington Post, The Toronto Star, etc., all over this story? Why aren’t the boldest and the brightest investigative journalists of the world digging day in and day out until the guilty parties are found out and brought to justice?

Future historians may well write that ‘presstitution’ constituted a major factor in the rise of fascism in Western democracies. In the sensitive OS/EH file, the don’t-rock-the-boat clique at the top levels of media are so obsequious to their shadowy masters that some have gone so far as to indulge in victim-bashing. In the summer of 2016, the Gray Lady of American journalism stooped so low as to publish a shoddy hit piece, accusing T.I.s of “paranoia”. Not to be outdone, two years later Canada’s CBC published an equally disgraceful hatchet job, painting T.I.s as “delusional”… So poorly researched was the piece that no mention was made of what CBC’s own Wendy Mesley – a scrappy crusader with a reputation for tackling even the most taboo topics – had uncovered decades earlier while investigating HAARP in Alaska.

Brave – The Browser Built for Privacy

Excerpts : MESLEY: “Electromagnetic weapons […] pack an invisible wallop hundreds of times more powerful than the electrical current in a lightning bolt. One can blast enemy missiles out of the sky, another could be used to blind soldiers on the battlefield, still another to control an unruly crowd by burning the surface of their skin. If detonated over a large city, an electromagnetic weapon could destroy all electronics in seconds. They all use directed energy to create a powerful electromagnetic pulse. […] MESLEY: Some people believe the technology being tested here could be used for sinister projects involving humans, radio waves messing around with people’s brain waves… And guess what? The military denies this one too. VOICE 1: The human mind is subject to being affected by radio frequency energy and that’s what this device is. VOICE 2 In other words, you can move the moods of large populations using this kind of technology. […] Scientists have been experimenting with radio frequencies on animals’ brains for decades and the military has followed it all very closely, especially once it found out the Russians were on to it. VOICE 3 It was all kept a deep, dark secret by the two superpowers…” (“Undercurrents”, Jan 16, 1996)

Mind control has been recognized for decades as an essential aspect of OS/EH and while experts are familiar with the technologies used, the general public is generally kept in the dark by the MSM. A rare “oops” moment occurred in April 1995, during NBC’s “The Other Side” program, when Major Edward Dames stated that “the U.S. Government has an electronic device which could implant thoughts in people.” The good major declined to comment further. But he did know what he was talking about, as in the course of his tenure with the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency until 1992, he worked closely with proponents of anti-personnel electromagnetic weapons – the kind of weapon that is believed by experts to have been used on the diplomats in Havana and against hundreds of thousands of innocent Targeted Individuals around the world since the early ’80s.

It is urgent for the public to realize that OS/EH is no longer just a T.I. problem: it has in fact become humanity’s problem. We are all subject to becoming targeted by these technologies. In fact, Bill Binney and many other NSA whistleblowers have been warning us for years that the ultimate goal is ‘total population control’, worthy of George Orwell’s nightmarish novel 1984.

Others have warned us as well. Dr. Nick Begich was already telling “Project Censored” in 2006 : “Without oversight, these weapons will allow a government to have absolute control. These weapons are most certainly in the hands of most industrialized countries. China certainly has them as intelligence reports released by the CIA reveal claims about these new concept weapons.” The highly respected Sonoma State University Project Censored Media Freedom Foundation published in 2006 a 48-page ground-breaking study on a topic that has been studiously ignored by the MSM: “US Electromagnetic Weapons and Human Rights As Study of the History of US Intelligence Community Human Rights Violations and Continuing Research in Electromagnetic Weapons”.

If the media and the general public continue to ignore the chilling realities of mind control, they are in for a rude awakening. The “microwave auditory effect” discovered by Eduardo Frey can send messages directly to any citizen’s mind, alter his mood, even drive him to suicidal despair. As we know, walking in the footsteps of Nazi scientists, the CIA has been actively researching mind control for almost 70 years.

Timeline of Important Dates in the History of Electromagnetic Technology…

As Stephen Kinder wrote in 2019, “the CIA mind control project, MK-ULTRA, was essentially a continuation of work that began in Japanese and Nazi concentration camps. The CIA actually hired the vivisectionists and the torturers who had worked in Japan and in Nazi concentration camps” (Poisoner in Chief, Holt & Co., 2019, p.76). Speaking of MK-ULTRA, the BBC just released a 95-minute documentary, Eminent Monsters, that “traces the roots of western governments’ love affair with torture”. In the 1950s an eminent Canadian psychiatrist covertly conducted mind control research for the CIA on his patients/victims without their consent, with catastrophic results. “Covertly funded by the Canadian government and the CIA, his techniques have been used in Northern Ireland, Guantánamo and 27 countries around the world.” Will these ‘mad scientists’ ever learn? No. This kind needs to be locked up, like Dr. Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs.

It is openly acknowledged that “Voice of God” technology was used by the U.S. military in Iraq in 2003 to brainwash Saddam Hussein’s troops into surrendering without a fight.

What is not known is whether this and other mind control technologies were tested on unwitting U.S., Canadian or other civilians before being used on Iraqi soldiers.

On September 25, 2018, DARPA neurologist and editor of Neurotechnology in National Security and Defense (CRC Press, 2014), Dr. James Giordano gave a talk at West Point on the ‘new battlefield of the brain’ and made it clear that the weapons are already in or ready for use. What he says jibes with reports from Targeted Individuals, for example when he brings up directed-energy weapons and enthuses over their potential: “I can disrupt an individual from the level of their cell to their system and disrupt individuals on a variety of levels – individuals all the way up the social fabric. [I can] target a specific individual, change or eliminate that individual with very little attribution and trace, and be able to leave prior to any attribution.” In plain, nonmilitary English, Dr. Giordano is saying that these advanced weapons can seriously disable or kill any target you can think of – from the average Joe to a human rights activist, a top official, a rival politician, a head of state, etc. – and do so covertly and without leaving any evidence behind.

Well regarded in military circles, Dr. Giordano goes on to suggest that highly specific drugs “can be very, very much used to individualize weaponology in terms of what we call ‘precision pathologies’ […] to influence the attitudes, beliefs, thoughts, emotions, activities. Look at the power that understanding the tools and techniques of the brain sciences affords! […] We also see the use of biodata as a viable weapon. […] By altering those data, I essentially change the you of you and I can do that in very subtle and insidious ways. […] That could then harm your health and your stability. […] Our civilian ethics aren’t viable any more”. That goes way beyond anything George Orwell could have imagined.

Future historians will no doubt be grappling with the mystery of how “We The People” got demoted to “You The Enemy”. There is speculation that authorities see another financial crash or major crisis looming on the horizon and have fine-tuned their ultra-sophisticated technologies to quash any form of protest, no matter how nonviolent and constitutionally-protected it may be. As for those Second-Amendment enthusiasts who believe guns will keep them safe, they may be in for a shock… of the hi-tech kind, from microwave, milliwave, laser, maser, RF signals sent to covertly-implanted RFIDs, MEMs, NEMs, WBANs or any other classified weapon. Welcome to the new and improved Wild West.
