Timeline of Electromagnetic Weapons

1970 Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter's National Security Director, said in his
book, Between Two Ages, weather control was a new weapon that would be the key element of
strategy. "Technology will make available to leaders of major nations a variety of techniques for
conducting secret warfare..." He also wrote "Accurately timed, artificially excited electronic
strokes could lead to a pattern of oscillations that produce relatively high power levels over
certain regions of the Earth ... one could develop a system that would seriously impair the brain
performance of a very large population in selected regions over an extended period."(Cited in
Baker's "ELF Psychotronic Tyranny" paper.)

1972 The Taser, first electrical shock device developed for use by law enforcement, delivers
barbed, dart shaped electrodes to a subject's body, and 50,000 volt pulses at two millionths of an
amp over 12-14 seconds time. (From "Report on the Attorney General's Conference on Less
Than Lethal Weapons", by Sherry Sweetman, 1987, p4, which cites "Non-Lethal Weapons for
Law Enforcement: Research Needs and Priorities. A Report to the National Science Foundation
by the Security Planning Corporation, 1972. Research by Harlan Girard.)

1972 "A U.S. Department of Defense document said that the Army has tested a microwave
weapon. It was an extremely powerful 'electronic flamethrower'." (From "Electromagnetic
Pollution.")

1972 "A study published by the U.S. Army Mobility Equipment Research and Development
Center, titled 'Analysis of Microwaves for Barrier Warfare' examines the plausibility of using
radio frequency energy in barrier counter-barrier warfare ... The report concludes that:
(a) it is possible to field a truck-portable microwave barrier system that will
completely immobilize personnel in the open with present day technology;
(b) there is a strong potential for a microwave system that would be capable of
delaying or immobilizing personnel in vehicles;
(c) with present technology, no method could be identified for a microwave
system to destroy the type of armored material common to tanks."
(From "Electromagnetic Pollution" by Kim Besly, p15, quoting The Zapping of America by Paul
Brodeur.) The report further documents the ability to create third-degree burns on human skin
using 3 GHz at 20-watts/square centimeter in two seconds.

1972 Dr. Gordon J. F. MacDonald testified before the House Subcommittee on Oceans and
International Environment, concerning low frequency research: "The basic notion there was to
create between the electrically charged ionosphere in the higher part of the atmosphere and
conducting layers of the surface of the Earth this neutral cavity, to create waves, electrical waves
that would be tuned to the brainwaves ... about ten cycles per second ... you can produce changes
in behavioral patterns or in responses." (From Baker's "ELF Psychotronic Tyranny" paper.)

1973 Sharp and Grove transmit audible words via microwaves.

1975 - 1977 "Unpublished analyses of microwave bioeffects literature were disseminated to the
U.S. Congress and to other officials arguing the case for remote control of human behavior by
radar." (From the Journal of Microwave Power, 12(4), 1977, p320. Research by Harlan Girard.)

1978 Hungarians presented a state-of-the-art paper on infrasonic weapons to the United Nations,
"Working Paper on Infrasound Weapons", United Nations CD/575, 14 August 1978. (From
"The Road From Armageddon" by Peter Lewis.)

1981 - 1982 "Between 1981 and September 1982, the Navy commissioned me to investigate the
potential of developing electromagnetic devices that could be used as non-lethal weapons by the
Marine Corp for the purpose of 'riot control', hostage removal, clandestine operations, and so
on." Eldon Byrd, Naval Surface Weapons Center, Silver Spring MD. (From "Electromagnetic
Pollution" by Kim Besly, p12.)

1982 Electromagnetic weapons for law enforcement use in Great Britain: Charles Bovill of the
now defunct British firm, Allen International, developed a 10-30 Hz strobe light that can produce
seizures, giddiness, nausea, and fainting. Addition of sound pulses in the 4.0 - 7.5 Hz range
increases effectiveness, as utilized in the Valkyrie, a "frequency" weapon advertised in British
Defense Equipment Catalogue until 1983.
The squawk box or sound curdles uses two loudspeakers of 350-watt output to emit two slightly
different frequencies that combine in the ear to produce a shrill shrieking noise. The U.S.
National Science Foundation report says there is "severe risk of permanent impairment of
hearing." (From "Electropollution" by Kim Besley, citing the Manchester City Council Police
Monitoring Unit document.)

1982 Air Force review of biotechnology: "Currently available data allow the projection that
specially generated radio frequency radiation (RFR) fields may pose powerful and revolutionary
antipersonnel military threats. Electroshock therapy indicates the ability of induced electric
current to completely interrupt mental functioning for short periods of time, to obtain cognition
for longer periods and to restructure emotional response over prolonged intervals.
"... impressed electromagnetic fields can be disruptive to purposeful behavior and may be
capable of directing and/or interrogating such behavior. Further, the passage of approximately
100 milliamperes through the myocardium can lead to cardiac standstill and death, again
pointing to a speed-of-light weapons effect.
"A rapidly scanning RFR system could provide an effective stun or ? capability over a large
area."
(From Final Report on Biotechnology Research Requirements for Aeronautical Systems Through
the Year 2000. AFOSR-TR-82-0643, vol 1,and vol 2, 30 July 1982.)

1986 "The Electromagnetic Spectrum in Low-Intensity Conflict" by Captain Paul Tyler, MC,
USN quotes the above passage and further elaborates on the theme. (Published in Low Intensity
Conflict and Modern Technology Lt. Col. David J. Dean, USAF, ed., Air University Press,
Maxwell AFB, AL.Research by Harlan Girard.)

1983 Nikolai Khokhlov, a Soviet KGB agent who defected to the West in 1976, interviews
recently arrived scientists and reports: "The Soviet mind- control program is run by the KGB
with unlimited funds." (From The Spectator, February 5, 1983, reported in "New World Order
Psychotronic Tyranny" by C. B. Baker.)

1984 "USSR: New Beam Energy Possible?" possibly associated with early Soviet weather
engineering efforts over the U.S. (From "Tesla's Electromagnetics and Its Soviet Weaponization"
by T. E. Bearden.)

1985 Women in the peace camps at Greenham Common began showing various medical
symptoms believed to be caused by EM surveillance weapons beamed at them. (See "Zapping:
The New Weapon of the Patriarchy", Resonance #13, pp 22-24. Research by Woody Blue.)

1986 Attorney General's Conference on Less Than Lethal Weapons reviews current weapons
available. They include the Taser, the Nova XR-5000 Stun Gun (can interrupt a pacemaker); the
Talon, a glove with an electrical pulse generator; and the Source, a flashlight with electrodes at
the base.
Photonic driving strobe lights tested by one conference delegate on 100 subjects, produced
discomfort. Closed eyelids to not block the effect. Evidence that ELF produces nausea and
disorientation. Suggestion to develop fast acting electro sleep inducing EM weapon.
Discusses problem of testing weapons on animals and human "volunteers". (From "Report on
the Attorney General's Conference on Less Than Lethal Weapons", by Sherry Sweetman, March

1987, prepared for the National Institute of Justice. Research by Harlan Girard.)
