[So this explains the Voices I've been hearing in my head?! I'm joking! Here is some very interesting stuff a reader sent me. A long time back we did have some discussions about using sound as a weapon.

In his book, "Through the Eyes of the Enemy", Colonel Lunev spoke about the time when he was in the GRU spying on China for the Soviet Union. He said the Chinese responded by beaming rays into the Russian embassy!! I think he said X-Rays - I can't remember. Either way, he said that the Chinese got back at the Russians by beaming these rays on them, and that later a large number of the Russians in the Russian Embassy died mysteriously of cancer! Lunev himself later got cancer and attributed it to his days when he spied on the Chinese! Wild huh? Jan]

Hi Jan
There are other ways of poisoning people, or more accurately, affecting their health. Actual poisons are not always required.

It has been discovered that the heart rate of a frog can be affected *and* controlled by pulsed weak microwave emissions.

It has also been discovered that audio signals can be transmitted to a person by modulating a weak microwave beam and aiming it directly at his/her head. The microwaves then cause parts of the brain tissue to oscillate. Those oscillations are mechanical waves that travel through the brain matter until they hit the inner ear bones. The inner ear bones vibrate and you hear the audio. Just imagine how much fun you can have with one of these simple devices. Any microwave engineer can build this in less than a day. And people think that laser pointers are cool!

Now one does not need to sit in a panel van aiming a microwave transmitter at somebody. Nope, all one has to do is make use of the ubiquitous cellular base stations. Each base station is a phased-array transmitter. Combine several base stations and, using the targetted person's cell phone to determine his/her location, one can direct quite a bit of microwave energy towards them - and track them in real-time. Modern jetfighters use phased-array radars to track multiple targets simultaneously. No moving parts are required. Only a collection of small CMOS-based microwave transreceivers is needed.

Using these ideas, one can make a person think that there are voices in his head or trigger off a heart attack - all from a distance. The operator can be anywhere as long as he can have access to the base stations systems. Cellular base stations already use the phased-array techniques to beam hi-bandwidth signals for data communications. So, it is not much trouble for a skilled, well-funded group of people to do this. A private group of people could do this with strategically placed WiFi transceivers if they don't have low-level access to cellular base stations.

A bunch of experienced microwave engineers can easily prove/disprove all of this.

I think that even the piezo-electric effect of bones can be exploited to give a person aches and pains and make them really irritable and miserable.

It is so amazing that off-the-shelf technology can be used to cause so much harm. For example, my Bluetooth dongle makes everybody in the near vicinity nauseus, even if they are not aware of its presence.

[Jacks Complete]

Interesting.

You could easily drive a person mad with a set of small hidden microphone/speakers. Trigger them at low volumes, such that they appear to be inside the head of the target. Do this at very low volume levels. Arrange the signals to be additive in his head, and they will be directionless and inaudible to others. Reduce the power of the nearest ones so that they aren't found even by careful analysis or being lucky and having a speaker next to the ear.

Use the microphone side to bug the person, and you could even replay bits of conversation from earlier on to them.

Drive them loony in short order!

[nbk2000]

I've read that an audio feedback loop with a slight delay, of about .6 seconds, makes it impossible for someone to talk, unless they are deaf or unable to hear what they are saying (earplugs).

Applying the same principle to a transmitter operating on a frequency capable of interfering with the brain would be interesting.

I'm assuming your idea is something the the target has no clue about?

Does non-lethal radiation exposure or drugs constitute 'poisoning' in this topic?

[Jacks Complete]

NBK, is that a 0.6 second audio delay alone, or did they use something to suppress the bone audio conduction as well?

Watching people being befuddled by hypotist and magician types is quite interesting. Interupt someone, then, as they are trying to recall what it was they were thinking, interupt again after about 1/2 to 1 seconds. It will leave them unable to recall what they were saying a moment before, when you then ask them what they were saying. It's a git thing to do, very, very funny on a drunk.

[nbk2000]

It was strictly audio.

It was intended to prevent soccer hooligans from being able to make 'racist' chants in unison, since no one would be able to co-ordinate with each other.

[sparkchaser]

I've noticed the effect of this while trying talk on a cryptologic radio with the loudspeaker on. The crypto causes about a 1/2 second delay over the loudspeaker while the radio encrypts. It's very disorienting and you actually can forget what you were trying to say in the first place. After awhile you learn to tune it out though.

[knowledgehungry]

I don't know if anyone else has ever had this happen to them, but on several occasions while talking on my cell phone I hear myself talking about a half second after I talk. It is IMPOSSIBLE to stay focused on what you are trying to say. I wonder if that is a sign of possible wire tapping :p?

[c.Tech]

That’s happened to me too, I don’t think its wire tapping because there was no reason to tap my phone line at the time.

I still find it quite easy to talk, I can just ignore it which may be the same with a 0.6 second loop so good luck tying to affect my health ;).

[Red Beret]

Severe stress will effect a persons health, just find out about the person, phobias and such and play on it. It's so variable that I wont go into great detail, but find something that stresses or scares them and use it.

Even harassing phone calls may work on highly strung people. I know of someone who almost broke down over a string of late night calls, the calls eventually stopped them sleeping properely, they were done at the same time each night, and the result of this was a strung out tired person, who was ready to flip, basically. Won't work for all, but you get my point. Wear them down physically, the start the psycological work. Voices in the head and such.

Continuity is the key to wearing them down. The rest is easy. ;)

[chembio]

Sorry about bringing this topic back up... I was told by my aunt (a nurse) that if tape recorders were played next to a person's ear while they were sleeping, over a long time period, they would get accustomed to it. Taking away the audio then causes them to experience a disturbance at a subconcious level.

No idea whether or not his is true, just my $0.02 for anyone who might try it :rolleyes:

[Alexires]

Chembio - Expanding on that idea, it would be possible to use constructive interference to create a "zone" around there bed which, at specific times of night (I'm thinking between 12-3 in the morning) someone talking softly is played at their position.

Anyone outside the "zone" wouldn't be able to hear it. This is documented, so I don't need to prove it.

Possibly rig some kind of motion detector so if the person wakes up to take a piss or get a drink, the sound stops playing. This could be embedded in their wall without them knowing when they go on holiday, or are out of the house for the day.

So what you're saying is that two coherent sources of sound waves need to be placed facing the target? Maybe two hidden speakers will do the job...

DISCLAIMER
All I'm saying is theoretical. No need for pork to come and pork up my house for 'assassination'.

[James]

I don't suppose that something like the <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/8c52/">Annoy-a-tron</a> would work.
Also, over in the chemical sterilizaation of humans thread they mentioned a remote organelle roaster that fits in here quite nicely.

[Jacks Complete]

You could do something like a bright flashgun hidden in a person's bedroom. Have a remote switch on it. Trigger when they are asleep. They will (probably) wake up and wonder why, since there was no sound. Since there is no noise and it is incredibly short in duration, even if they had not fallen asleep, they wouldn't know what had happened, as it is so out of place. You'd have to silence the flash charging back up, though.

[Arthis]

About coherent sources, it would be possible to use such wave lenghts which are prime between each other to get a peak at a desired location. Problem is your magnitude can't be more than the sum of each. You don't get a big sound by adding 2 small ones.
What happens more frequently is a resonance phenomenom, which causes an auto amplification. While it works the same you won't be able to use that (too complicated, not always possible, quite detectable)
Or did I miss something?

A really good site about EMF bio activity:
www.emf-portal.de
Search there for Dr Lai's articles (many of them are presented) and related ones.
Other links:
http://www.bioelectromagnetics.org/
Journal of BEM:
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jhome/112127365

Note that in order to alter bio system with EMF, you need effect other than thermal absorbtion.
Spectra of bio molecules and micro/nano/systems are needed, and should be irradiated in their peeks depending the effect you want to induce.
Search for Terahertz and Microwave spectroscopy also.

Note that the electromagnetic rays have the next parameters:
1. Frequency spectra (coresponding to modulation, monochomatic or not)
2. Phase characteristics (coherent or not etc.)
3. Poliarization
4. Direction
5. Intensity
Modulate those parameters in order to increase efficiency.

Is it possible that we gather all possible infrared, FIR, terahertz, microwave, NMR spectra of bio importaint/active molecules and complexes into systematized data base? Spectra of neuromediators and their receptor complexes are among the most importaint (not well studied till now, btw)...

I've read the post, but don't see how any of the cell signals can possibly effect someone in real-time unless they have a Pace Maker. No chance of 'voices in their head', and how has ever heard someone dying 'mysteriously of cancer'.

Now even if cell towers were used to centralize their output into one given space, it should not be fatal by any means. Now I don't doubt such technology, I'm sure it does exist, but using such commercial cell towers shouldn't be that dangerous. Also, keep in mind that further cell towers would have a weaker signal rather than closer towers.

If I personally would drive a person insanity, or death; I would use both low and high frequency signals/sounds directed towards them at random times. The US Army has perfected a way of directly projecting sound, now only if that technique was found by the public (probably is), then we could send "voices" to the person we hate without a single person in the crowd around them hearing a thing....
"KILL THEM! KILL EVERYONE!":D

[simply RED]

Wavelengths used by cell phones, TV, sattelites etc. are chosen to be harmless...

Note that the wavelength you use is often more importaint than the power of the source. The idea of bio energo informatics are non-thermal effects. This may happen when biological tissue falls in resonance and then non-thermal process (or change in nerve tissue) occure.

Example:
200mW IR in 1cm2 causes heat sensation (thermal mechanism).
1. The molecules fall in resonance, vibration states are excited.
2. The molecules undergo vibration relaxation releasing their energy as heat into the tissue.
200mW vacuum UV in 1cm2 causes burns.
1. sigma-sigma* (for example) states are excited (electron excited states). (resonance)
2. C-C bonds brake to radicals (C. + C.) (photochemical - non-thermal relaxation)
3. Radicals dammage tissue. (biological effect)

CBS has a "science of sleep" documentary, it's in two parts online.

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=3942130n

A sleep lab in the documentary denies a poor college student from REM sleep by making noise when his EEG starts heading towards pre-REM. He doesn't remember the lab operator waking him with loud sirens multiple times that night. I believe he wakes up saying he thought he had a good night's rest. His performance is completely ruined.

I think I remember seeing (on FutureWeapons IIRC) a modular speaker system audible in a 5 degree cone. Maybe one could stick such a gadget in an attic of a house broadcasting downwards. The government is supposed to be able to use them for ultimatums and such.
