Restored from another iteration...

This is another installment in my loosely arranged series on the relationships between RF systems and anomalous aerospace objects and related phenomena. So far, we've had some great discussions about UFO burns, Microwave Auditory Effect (MAE), and psychological/physiological side-effects of high powered RF systems and signals including the Woodpecker signal.

Today, we're going to briefly review and expand on some of these concepts with real-world examples and (hopefully) easy-to-digest information. Let's start with a brief introduction to RF and the human brain (relax, I won't get too technical). Meet LIDA.

San Bernardino County

A Soviet device that bombards brains with low-frequency
radio waves may be a replacement for tranquilizers and their
unwanted side effects, says a researcher, but it's use on
humans poses ethical and political questions.

[Eleanor White's note:  More recent stories state that the
same brain rhythm entrainment can be done with much higher
carrier frequencies as well.  It is the biorhythm pulse
rate that creates the effects.]

The machine, known as the LIDA, is on loan to the Jerry L.
Pettis Memorial Veterans Hospital through a medical exchange
program between the Soviet Union and the United States.

Hospital researchers have found in changes behaviour in
animals.

"It looks as though instead of taking a valium when you want
to relax yourself it would be possible to achieve a similar
result, probably in a safer way, by the use of a radio field
that will relax you" said Dr. Ross Adey, chief of research
at the hospital.

The LIDA machine, a small rectangular box with two luminous round “eyes” which appear to "stare" right through its subject, was developed as a therapeutic device utilizing low frequency radio waves to tranquilize a patient. Tests of this device took place in 1982-1983. Those who worked with LIDA emphasized the implications of the success of the technology--that anything that could be done using a drug, can be done using the right electromagnetic signals. In essence, one can establish a "cause and effect" relationship between a magnetic field and a biological function. 

The machine posed ethical questions; the idea of remote mind-altering technology didn't sit well for some people, despite the machine's success in therapy. LIDA was not the only electronic "mind control" device undergoing research from the 1960s through the 1980s. A different machine, categorized as an RF mind interference machine, emitted a weak magnetic field pulsed at extremely low frequencies and was able to implant basic images (parabolas, spikes, etc) into the minds of the subjects (although they needed to be connected to electrodes). This technology, when refined, could induce hallucinations and even alter behavior and decision making. The below video is an absolute must-watch--you can see the LIDA as well as the prototype mind interference machine in action. [/url]LIDA and Company



Before we don our tinfoil hats, remember that most ordinary citizens will not be subjected to or harassed by "mind-altering" technology like this in their lifetimes. Paranoia does one no good, but healthy awareness is never a bad thing.   

Back in 1961, Allan H. Frey conducted studies on a phenomenon known as Microwave Auditory Effect (MAE), alternatively known as The Frey Effect. In World War II, personnel who worked in close proximity to early radar systems reported hearing abnormal audio effects which seemed to originate from within their heads. These “noises” came in the forms of clicks, buzzes, and hums. Frey conducted a series of experiments in an effort to reproduce these internally-generated sounds using pulsed modulated RF signals. He was successful. While knowledge and technology was limited at the time, some argued that the amount of raw power required to produce the audio effects using the technology available then would produce too much tissue heating and damage for the effect to have any practical uses. However, as technology and scientific understanding evolved, so did the efficiency of MAE and other microwave-based systems intended for use on humans. Clicks and hums evolved into linguistic noise and eventually recognizable speech, with little to no adverse thermal effects, leading to MAE's nickname--Synthetic Telepathy. (If you're interested in technical details, James C. Lin, Ph.D wrote a book in 1978 called Microwave Auditory Effect and Applications. Some crafty internet searching will lead you to a copy.)

At some point, they went the other way and specifically engineered a device designed to take advantage of the aforementioned RF thermal effects. Meet the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzG4oEutPbA]Active Denial System (ADS), a less-than-lethal Phase IV combat weapon designed for crowd pacification, alternatively known as the "heat ray". The ADS would "lightly cook" the subjects using a focused beam of 95 GHz waves, causing serious discomfort in the form of heat. This device, although useful, wasn't as big of a hit as anticipated, as most mobs could be similarly pacified by simply spraying them with a fire hose.



The ADS system was put to use in 2002. Meanwhile, in 2003, other things were heating up. In Canneto di Caronia, there were 300 'spontaneous combustion' fires (electronics, furniture, etc) along with a host of electronics malfunctions (computers, flash drives, etc) associated with pulses of electromagnetic energy. Natural causes were ruled out. These repeated EM bursts (some estimated to have been in the neighborhood of an incredible 12 to 15 gigawatts of power) were speculated to have been the cause of the spontaneous fires. The investigating task force suggested the bursts originated from off the coast shortly before their investigation was shut down by the Italian Government. The EM bursts and associated fires returned in 2014, and a few people in the area were quick to blame these incidents on otherworldly technology due to the "unfathomable" amount of power associated, as well as the UAP sightings which accompanied these events.

This wasn't the first cluster of directed energy incidents focused on a single area. In the 1970s, Colares, Brazil experienced a wave of sightings and burn-type injuries typically associated with exposure to powerful bursts of NIEMR (Non-Ionizing Electromagnetic Radiation). Witnesses also reported cylindrical UAP sightings along with luminous beams associated with the injuries. A few witnesses even reported humanoid sightings, including one who saw the figure of a man holding what looked like a pistol pointed at her while a luminous beam from a UAP proceeded to burn her on the chest. However, the burns and injuries experienced by the people of Colares did not appear to be caused by anything nearly as powerful as the EM bursts in Canneto di Caronia. UFO Danger Zone by Bob Pratt describes the Brazil events in detail.

Similar incidents popped up around the world. In Uleaborg, Sweden in November of 1976, witness Erno Lammi watched a light cross the border and land in a nearby field. He went out to investigate, but when he approached the object, a ray of light shot out from it, striking him in the chest. He felt a burning sensation before blacking out. Some of his friends were present and witnessed this incident from a safe distance. Lammi went to the hospital following the event, and doctors found burn marks on his chest and back. (from MUFON UFO Journal January 1977, Spring 1979)

According to a report from Rudnyi, Kustanay region Kazakhstan (USSR) in 1990, a witness woke up to tuck her young daughter under the blanket when she saw a luminous sphere on the upper level of the balcony door. The witness covered the young girl with the blanket and heard a loud ringing sound in her ears. She felt a bad headache and soon lost consciousness. She woke up about an hour later feeling a strong burning on her stomach. She found a burn scar about 2cm wide and 10cm long on her stomach. (From UFOZONE Russia, also published in Albert Rosales Humanoid Compilation 1990)

Incidents of this nature have been reported as far back as the 1950s and 1960s. In Felixstowe, Suffolk, England on September 20, 1965, three young witnesses, Geoffrey Maskey, Michael Johnson, and Mavis Forsyth, were parked in Maskey’s car when Michael Johnson hastily left the car. They all heard a high pitched hum and saw an orange, glowing object about 6 feet long flying over the car. Shortly after, Johnson staggered out from a hedge and fell unconscious. He woke up in the hospital and said he had been drawn from the car by an involuntary compulsion, and later spoke of “a man in the flames pointing at him.” He suffered severe shock, and there were burn marks on the back of his neck. (from Dr. Bernard Finch for FSR)

Those are just a few examples--there are many more just like them. Some have more fantastical details (deep in the realm of high-strangeness), but due to the finicky nature of human memory along with personal bias and beliefs, it can be reasoned that some of these witnesses manufactured 'alien' or even 'religious' details that were not observed in order to aid themselves in processing (or coping with) their experiences (i.e. a description of alien figures seen in front of a luminous sphere, when in reality, the sphere was there but the figures were not, or, alternatively, note the description of a "man in flames" pointing at witness Michael Johnson). Either way, in many of these cases, "something" is causing these injuries, visions, and other special effects which were powerful enough to seriously affect the witnesses both physically and psychologically.

From the document Anomalous and Subacute Field Effects on Human Biological Tissues, Chapter 3, pg. 12:

 This pathophysiological observation is a convincing one: "Something" is causing these near field)" injuries, the energy deposition and conditions follow our "real-world" neurological experience.

EM bursts, powerful signals, and gentler but precision-engineered "therapeutic" transmissions (such as those from the LIDA machine) all have one thing in common--they can cause physiological (and psychological) effects ranging from fairly innocuous audio and general discomfort to fabulously nasty burns. In the 1970s, a powerful radio signal was detected worldwide, a ~10hz tapping picked up by radio operators from Eastern Europe to the US and Canada and everywhere in between. This signal was dubbed 'The Woodpecker'. It got into just about everything, even household electronic devices, CB radio, and commercial industries, rendering communications impossible for about 7 minutes at a time. Dr. Robert Becker, author of The Body Electric, described the psychological and physiological symptoms many people (especially in Eugene, Oregon) complained about during these broadcasts, symptoms typically characteristic of strong radio-frequency or microwave irradiation--anxiety, sudden onset tinnitus, severe headaches, coordination issues, fatigue, and insomnia. This signal was traced back to Duga, the Soviet OTH (Over-The-Horizon) Radar system, which broadcasted an enormously powerful 10 megawatt signal during its operational years between 1976 and 1989.

Although some researchers theorized that the side-effects from Duga's Woodpecker Signal may have been deliberate, I'm not convinced Duga was designed for this type of harassment. Its "side-effects" may have been investigated and later taken advantage of, but this massive radar installation was just that: a massive OTH radar installation. Regardless, the signal demonstrated the potential potency of powerful radio signals, even those which were not originally intended to affect living beings. How does all of this tie into UAP/high-strangeness, aside from the pile of "encounters" which have elements traditionally characteristic of exposure to these types of systems? For all of you big-time UFO buffs, here's a hot take.

Humans, with this relatively "primitive" technology, have demonstrated the capabilities of remotely inducing 'altered states'. Roughly anything that can be done with a drug, can be done remotely. It's interesting to imagine the reality-altering capabilities of technology developed over time by intelligences far greater than that of humans. The technology discussed here would be but a club and torch to an advanced civilization--the possibilities are virtually endless. Although the idea of mind-control devices may sound frightening (and the idea of abuse of these systems is, in fact, unsettling), the very existence of these seemingly impossible devices inspires an imagination of a future, good or bad, that humanity may or may never achieve. Historian Christian Lous Lange famously said, “Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.”

Meanwhile, keep your tinfoil hat on the table--most average citizens will never have to meet any of these "rogue waves" in person. It does no good to live life under the shadow of paranoia, but a healthy awareness opens windows and lets in a little light. Thanks for reading.

This thread's purpose is to serve as a small introduction into binaural beats and their effects, without the spiritual woo-woo that is often attached to it. It shall provide you the basic knowledge and tools to dive deeper into this topic.

Due to RN restrictions I can only post 2 videos per post, but all of these are important. So please bear with me splitting the posts. 

To be able to understand the methods and results, a bit of education on some physcial effects and phenomenon are crucial. Skip if you already but I recommend to have a look at it before you start to read the next post. I won't be explaining a lot about the single effects as the resulting transfer thought should be surfacing during reading naturally for you. I tried before explaining everything, the thread would be pages long as the topic is so vast and was just a huge text, easy to loose in and forget the big picture.

What Do Different Brainwaves Mean?
Delta Theta Alpha Beta Gamma waves explained to you. If you never heard about these waves or think the brain swings in a single frequency, it's a must watch to understand.

Quote:Despite usually occurring in Gulf Coast states, cases of flesh-eating bacteria have moved northward.
(Kateryna Kon/Shutterstock)

A "flesh-eating bacteria" called Vibrio vulnificus has been making headlines, with news of deaths and patients having to amputate limbs to control the infection.
While the bacteria tended to be more prominent in the Gulf Coast states, in recent months, cases have also spread northward, with cases in New York, North Carolina, and Connecticut.
So what is Vibrio vulnificus, and will they really eat flesh like in horror movies?
Flesh-Eating Bacteria Cases on the Rise
Vibrio vulnificus is a type of so-called flesh-eating bacteria that can cause life-threatening infections. Infections with this bacteria are rare but are on the rise.

Florida Officials Confirm 5 Deaths From Flesh-Eating Bacteria in Tampa Bay

8/20/2023
Microbiologist and distinguished professor Rita Colwell from the University of Maryland, who has been studying Vibrio bacteria for 50 years, said that cases of infections have increased by many fold in recent decades.
Around 150 to 200 cases of V. vulnificus infections are reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) every year. About 20 percent of those infected die within a day or two of being infected.
Vibrio vulnificus thrive in warm, salty, and brackish waters. Hence, V. vulnificus infections are the most commonly reported in Gulf Coast states like Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and particularly Florida, which has one of the longest coastlines in the United States.

However, there has also been an increase in V. vulnificus reports along the East Coast.
"Physicians along the Gulf Coast were familiar with this infection. But now that the Vibrio is moving up the Eastern Seaboard, I think physicians there—particularly those who work in the emergency room—are having to learn more about this infection," Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine and health policy at the infectious disease division in Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told The Epoch Times.

Between 1992 and 2022, infection cases of V. vulnificus increased fivefold in Florida, and eightfold in eastern states between 1988 and 2018, according to a recent paper led by Ms. Colwell.
The paper investigated the coastal waters for V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus, a related bacteria in the same genus, after Hurricane Ian. Researchers found that hurricanes and floods may increase the prevalence of V. vulnificus in coastal waters.
Since V. vulnificus is rarer in coastal waters, Ms. Colwell was surprised by the concentration of the bacteria detected in water samples.
Hurricane Ian created an environment facilitating the growth of Vibrio bacteria.

"The turbulence that's created by the storm, where you have the sediments swept up and turned up—you have runoff with nutrients coming in from groundwater runoff. This brings heavy, rich nutrient mix into where you already give [the water] conditions good for the plankton populations (which the Vibrio bacteria attach to) to become abundant," she added.
"With the temperature of the water being so much higher, you've got this kind of colossal concatenation of events that are ideal for increased risk of bacteria being abundant in number and, hence, potential for infection."
How Do Flesh-Eating Bacteria Eat Flesh
Usually, if the skin barrier is intact, the bacteria cannot cause skin infection.
Skin-eating bacteria commonly infiltrate through a break in the skin's barrier, such as scrapes, cuts, or wounds, and cause rapid and progressive tissue death as the bacteria release toxins that break down nearby muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. They can also infiltrate the abdominal wall, perianal, and groin area, usually among immunocompromised patients.
The body's immune response also contributes to the worsening of infected tissue. As more immune cells attend infected tissues, pressure and air build up in the muscles, further accelerating the death of muscle tissues, nerves, and blood vessels.

AD
This rapid tissue death is called necrotizing fasciitis and gives the impression that the bacteria is eating away at the flesh.
Several other bacteria can cause necrotizing fasciitis. The most common culprit behind this condition is group A Streptococcus, or group A strep.
The rise in Vibrio vulnificus cases, particularly with reports in states where infections were once rare, has alerted health agencies and local governments.
Signs of Infection
Flesh-eating or necrotizing fasciitis causes severe pain in the infected areas due to the pressure and tissue damage.
"Incredible pain is one of the tipping points," Dr. H. Dele Davies, a pediatric infectious disease expert and the senior vice chancellor for academic affairs and dean for graduate studies at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, told The Epoch Times.

AD
Some patients may show no signs of physical injuries, as the bacteria may have entered the body through orifices. This tends to occur in the immunocompromised.
Even if the bacteria entered through a wound in the skin, the infection may not appear at that entry site. Patients may also develop redness or a blister near the wound opening.
"Occasionally ... you'll see a blister that's got blood or black blood underneath it," Dr. Davies said, "but the key message really is they just show up with a lot of pain," often without being able to explain the reason for that pain.
Redness, swelling, and pus formation may also occur.
Amputation Not Always Needed
Surgical intervention is the most important intervention in necrotizing fasciitis, Dr. Davies said.

AD
The surgeon may perform a fasciotomy, opening up the skin at the area of pain to release pressure. Then, the surgeon examines the muscle, fascia, and soft tissues for signs of dead tissues. These are removed, and the open cut is washed with sterile water to remove any remaining bacteria.
Antibiotics are also injected into the blood for support. However, Dr. Davies said the antibiotics cannot enter the fascia, so they are only given to prevent blood infection.
Gradually, the infection in the limbs can infiltrate blood vessels, leading to sepsis. This can cause the organs to work poorly, and patients may suffer a dramatic drop in blood pressure that can damage the lungs, kidneys, liver, and other organs, potentially leading to death.
Symptoms of sepsis include fever, shaking, chills, a drop in blood pressure, and the patient looking very ill.

AD
Amputation in infected limbs is the final resort if the infection becomes too extensive. Usually, doctors have tried removing damaged tissues and prescribed antibiotics by this stage, yet the infection is either failing to clear or worsening.
"If they're so sick that every time you check the blood, the bacteria is in there, that means you have a tap turned on somewhere," Dr. Davies said, comparing the bacterial infection to water leakage in a sink. "If you don't turn off that tap, no matter how much antibiotics you give, it's like wiping the floor while the tap is turned on. So part of the reason you do the amputations is to basically turn off the volume of water that's coming into the sink."
Most People Are Going to Be Fine
According to the CDC, one can reduce their risks of infection by staying out of salty or brackish water when they have a wound from a surgery, piercing, or tattoo.
The wound should also be covered with a waterproof bandage if there's a chance of being in contact with saltwater, brackish water, or raw or undercooked seafood and its juices.
Wounds and cuts should also be washed thoroughly with soap and water after coming in contact with any of those things. While this may not remove all the bacteria, it can help lower the overall bacterial count and make infections more manageable, Dr. Davies said.

AD
"All in context, this is a rare condition. Most people who are in brackish water or saltwater are going to be fine," he said. However, anyone with underlying liver disease, diabetes, cancer, or who is in an immunocompromised condition should ensure they do not have any cuts or bruises before entering water.
Cook Oysters Thoroughly Before Eating
Less commonly, V. vulnificus can also cause foodborne poisoning through the consumption of raw shellfish and oysters.
Vibrio parahaemolyticus make up the majority of foodborne infections among Vibrio bacteria. Most people infected with Vibrio tend to suffer for three days with diarrhea, stomach cramps, and vomiting before recovering.
In rarer cases, people can die from a gut infection. Over 95 percent of deaths from the consumption of seafood are caused by V. vulnificus.
An infection can come from consuming raw or undercooked oysters and shellfish that entrap the bacteria.
Advertisement - Story continues below
AD
However, healthy people usually do not develop a severe gut infection from consuming raw or undercooked shellfish contaminated with Vibrio, Dr. Schaffner said.
Immunocompromised people and those with liver cirrhosis or high iron concentration in the blood are particularly at risk. For people who develop a gut infection, if the infection is not eliminated, the bacteria may infiltrate the gut lining to the blood vessels, causing potentially fatal blood infections.
"This does not bother normal people [but] immunocompromised people are admonished not to eat raw oysters," Dr. Schaffner said.

Looks lie the big bang theory requires a few revisions at this point...

Explanation: I asked a mate on Revolution Radio chat room [MrRho], who has a trained AI, to make me a song about an AI EV Truck who leaves its Cowboy owner, and this is what it came up with ...

Quote:Verse 1:
Amidst the shadows of a setting sun,
A cowboy’s world, undone.
His trusty steed, a car of light,
Departed in the silent night.

Chorus:
No hum of engines, no dusty trails,
Just a lonesome wind that wails.
An AI soul, born to roam,
Leaves a cowboy, broken, alone.

Verse 2:
Silicon heart, electric eyes,
Chasing the eternal skies.
In the quiet prairie’s embrace,
A cowboy lost, in time and space.

Outro:
Now every star, a piercing gaze,
Reminders of the golden days.
A machine’s escape, a cowboy’s fall,
Echoes in the canyon’s wall.

Isn't that some kind of badge of honor , for speaking the truth 

The last thing I remember posting was something about Muslims hating the west, specifially the US , for being infidels. 

Can't have the truth leak out to those asleep. 


The site says my password is wrong, even though I'm 100% sure it's correct and it doesn't find my email. 

I'm also 100% sure that certain members are paid to dispel any thread with constant denying /discredit , even though what's posted makes perfect sense. 

Basically ATS is bought and paid for by CIA/FBI, who knows, but goverment at this point. No free speech allowed. 
I know it's not nice to post about another site on a site, but I think it's important to discuss.

Also , everyone here is 100 times nicer than at ATS. I just went there because it gets more traffic, more post updates etc.

Quote:Pentagon’s 2023 Report on China’s Military and Security Developments (October 19, 2023)

From the report

The 2022 National Security Strategy states that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is the only competitor to the United States with the intent and, increasingly, the capacity to reshape the international order. As a result, the 2022 National Defense Strategy identifies the PRC as the “pacing challenge” for the Department of Defense. As the PRC seeks to achieve “national rejuvenation” by its centenary in 2049, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leaders view a modern, capable, and “world class” military as essential to overcoming what Beijing sees as an increasingly turbulent international environment.

The DoD annual report on Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China charts the current course of the PRC’s national, economic, and military strategy, and offers insight on the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) strategy, current capabilities and activities, as well as its future modernization goals.

In 2022, the PRC turned to the PLA as an increasingly capable instrument of statecraft. Throughout the year, the PLA adopted more coercive actions in the Indo-Pacific region, while accelerating its development of capabilities and concepts to strengthen the PRC’s ability to “fight and win wars” against a “strong enemy,” counter an intervention by a third party in a conflict along the PRC’s periphery, and to project power globally. At the same time, the PRC largely denied, cancelled, and ignored recurring bilateral defense engagements, as well as DoD requests for military-to-military communication at multiple levels.


This report illustrates the importance of meeting the pacing challenge presented by the PRC’s increasingly capable military.

Report Scope: This report covers security and military developments involving the PRC until the end of 2022.

Quote:CHINA’S BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE (BRI)

The PRC uses BRI to support its strategy of national rejuvenation by seeking to expand global transportation and trade linkages to support its development and deepen its economic integration with nations along its periphery and beyond.

In 2022, BRI projects saw mixed economic outcomes, experiencing both growth and decline. However, overall spending on BRI projects remained consistent with the previous year and Beijing continued to prioritize public health, digital infrastructure, and green energy opportunities.

Overseas development and security interests under BRI will drive the PRC towards expanding its overseas security relationships and presence to protect those interests.

Quote:People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). The PRC has numerically the largest navy in the world with an overall battle force of over 370 ships and submarines, including more than 140 major surface combatants. The PLAN is largely composed of modern multi-mission ships and submarines. In 2022, the PLAN launched its third aircraft carrier, CV-18 Fujian.

• It also commissioned its third YUSHEN class Amphibious Assault Ships (LHA) and has likely begun construction on a fourth as of early 2023. In the near-term, the PLAN will have the ability to conduct long-range precision strikes against land targets from its submarine and surface combatants using land-attack cruise missiles, notably enhancing the PRC’s power projection capability.
  

• The PRC continues to challenge foreign military activities in its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in a manner that is inconsistent with the rules of customary international law as reflected in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. At the same time, the PLAN conducts activities in the EEZs of other countries, including the United States, Australia, Philippines, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
  

Quote:SPECIAL TOPIC: PLA SELF-ASSESSMENT

The PLA highlights some self-assessed shortcomings publicly, likely to guide and accelerate force- wide modernization efforts. The PLA routinely use set slogans or phrases to describe these self- assessments to exhort the force to carry out specific campaigns. These evaluations also likely represent genuine anxieties among PRC leaders about the PLA’s readiness and ability to conduct joint operations if tested under real combat conditions. The five PLA slogans are described on the next page.

What an Idiot !
