Subject/Topic: New York Times: Microwave Weapons Are Prime Suspect in Ills of U.S. Embassy Workers This New York Times newspaper article is very welcome and being held dear by millions of Targeted Individuals (TIs) all over the world, including Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming, who is based in Singapore. New York Times Article: Microwave Weapons Are Prime Suspect in Ills of U.S. Embassy Workers Author: William J. Broad is a science journalist and senior writer. He joined The Times in 1983, and has shared two Pulitzer Prizes with his colleagues, as well as an Emmy Award and a DuPont Award. @WilliamJBroad Date Published: 1st September 2018 (Today is 19 January 2019 Saturday) Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/01/science/sonic-attack-cuba-microwave.html Snippets from the New York Times newspaper article: Doctors and scientists say microwave strikes may have caused sonic delusions and very real brain damage among embassy staff and family members= . During the Cold War, Washington feared that Moscow was seeking to turn microwave radiation into covert weapons of mind control. More recently, the American military itself sought to develop microwave arms that could invisibly beam painfully loud booms and even spoken words into people=E2=80=99s heads. The aims were to disable attackers and wage psychological warfare. Now, doctors and scientists say such unconventional weapons may have caused the baffling symptoms and ailments that, starting in late 2016, hit more than three dozen American diplomats and family members in Cuba and China. The Cuban incidents resulted in a diplomatic rupture between Havana and Washington. But Douglas H. Smith, the study=E2=80=99s lead author and director of the C= enter for Brain Injury and Repair at the University of Pennsylvania, said in a recent interview that microwaves were now considered a main suspect and that the team was increasingly sure the diplomats had suffered brain injury= . In particular, a growing number of analysts cite an eerie phenomenon known as the Frey effect, named after Allan H. Frey, an American scientist. Long ago, he found that microwaves can trick the brain into perceiving what seem to be ordinary sounds. The false sensations, the experts say, may account for a defining symptom of the diplomatic incidents =E2=80=94 the perception of loud noises, includ= ing ringing, buzzing and grinding. Initially, experts cited those symptoms as evidence of stealthy attacks with sonic weapons. Members of Jason, a secretive group of elite scientists that helps the federal government assess new threats to national security, say it has been scrutinizing the diplomatic mystery this summer and weighing possible explanations, including microwaves. The microwave idea teems with unanswered questions. Who fired the beams? The Russian government? The Cuban government? A rogue Cuban faction sympathetic to Moscow? And, if so, where did the attackers get the unconventional arms? At his home outside Washington, Mr. Frey, the scientist who uncovered the neural phenomenon, said federal investigators have questioned him on the diplomatic riddle and that microwave radiation is considered a possible cause. Mr. Frey, now 83, has traveled widely and long served as a contractor and a consultant to a number of federal agencies. He speculated that Cubans aligned with Russia, the nation=E2=80=99s longtime ally, might have launche= d microwave strikes in attempts to undermine developing ties between Cuba and the United States. The dimensions of the human head, scientists say, make it a fairly good antenna for picking up microwave signals. Mr. Frey, a biologist, said he stumbled on the acoustic effect in 1960 while working for General Electric=E2=80=99s Advanced Electronics Center at= Cornell University. A man who measured radar signals at a nearby G.E. facility came up to him at a meeting and confided that he could hear the beam=E2=80=99s p= ulses =E2=80=94 zip, zip, zip. Intrigued, Mr. Frey traveled to the man=E2=80=99s workplace in Syracuse and positioned himself in a radar beam. =E2=80=9CLo,=E2=80=9D he recalled, =E2= =80=9CI could hear it, too.=E2=80=9D Mr. Frey=E2=80=99s resulting papers =E2=80=94 reporting that even deaf peop= le could hear the false sounds =E2=80=94 founded a new field of study on radiation=E2=80= =99s neural impacts. Mr. Frey=E2=80=99s first paper, in 1961, reported that power densi= ties 160 times lower than =E2=80=9Cthe standard maximum safe level for continuous ex= posure=E2=80=9D could induce the sonic delusions. Investigators raced to confirm and extend Mr. Frey=E2=80=99s findings. At f= irst they named the phenomenon after him, but eventually called it the microwave auditory effect and, in time, more generally, radio-frequency hearing. Moscow was so intrigued by the prospect of mind control that it adopted a special terminology for the overall class of envisioned arms, calling them psychophysical and psychotronic. Soviet research on microwaves for =E2=80=9Cinternal sound perception,=E2=80= =9D the Defense Intelligence Agency warned in 1976, showed great promise for =E2=80=9Cdisru= pting the behavior patterns of military or diplomatic personnel.=E2=80=9D Furtively, globally, the threat grew. Washington, too, foresaw new kinds of arms. In Albuquerque, N.M., Air Force scientists sought to beam comprehensible speech into the heads of adversaries. Their novel approach won a patent in 2002, and an update in 2003. Both were assigned to the Air Force secretary, helping limit the idea=E2=80=99s dissemination. The lead inventor said the research team had =E2=80=9Cexperimentally demons= trated=E2=80=9D that the =E2=80=9Csignal is intelligible.=E2=80=9D As for the invention=E2= =80=99s uses, an Air Force disclosure form listed the first application as =E2=80=9CPsychologica= l Warfare.=E2=80=9D Russia, China and many European states are seen as having the know-how to make basic microwave weapons that can debilitate, sow noise or even kill. Advanced powers, experts say, might accomplish more nuanced aims such as beaming spoken words into people=E2=80=99s heads. ***Only intelligence agen= cies know which nations actually possess and use such unfamiliar arms.*** In December 2000, months after the start of his first presidential term, Mr. Putin flew to the island nation. It was the first visit by a Soviet or Russian leader since the Cold War. He also sought to resurrect Soviet work on psychoactive arms. In 2012, he declared that Russia would pursue =E2=80=9Cnew instruments for achieving po= litical and strategic goals,=E2=80=9D including psychophysical weapons. As a candidate, Donald Trump faulted the Obama administration=E2=80=99s normalization policy as =E2=80=9Ca very weak agreement=E2=80=9D and threate= ned to scrap it on reaching the White House. Weeks after he won the election, in late November 2016, the American embassy in Havana found itself battling a mysterious crisis. Diplomats and their families recounted high-pitched sounds in homes and hotel rooms at times intense enough to incapacitate. Long-term, the symptoms included nausea, crushing headaches, fatigue, dizziness, sleep problems and hearing loss. The State Department filed diplomatic protests, and the Cuban government denied involvement. Rex W. Tillerson, who was then the secretary of state, said the embassy=E2= =80=99s staff had been targeted deliberately. But he refrained from blaming Cuba, and federal officials held out the possibility that a third party may have been responsible. Early this year, in January, the spooky impact of microwaves on the human brain never came up during an open Senate hearing on the Cuba crisis. But in a scientific paper that same month, James C. Lin of the University of Illinois, a leading investigator of the Frey effect, described the diplomatic ills as plausibly arising from microwave beams. Dr. Lin is the editor-in-chief of Bio Electro Magnetics, a peer-reviewed journal that explores the effects of radio waves and electromagnetic fields on living things. In his paper, he said high-intensity beams of microwaves could have caused the diplomats to experience not just loud noises but nausea, headaches and vertigo, as well as possible brain-tissue injury. The beams, he added, could be fired covertly, hitting =E2=80=9Conly the intended target.=E2=80= =9D In February, ProPublica in a lengthy investigation mentioned that federal investigators were weighing the microwave theory. Separately, it told of an intriguing find. The wife of a member of the embassy staff, it reported, had looked outside her home after hearing the disturbing sounds and seen a van speeding away. In May, reports emerged that American diplomats in China had suffered similar traumas. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the medical details of the two groups "very similar=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9Centirely consistent" = with one another. By late June, the State Department had evacuated at least 11 Americans from China. To date, the most detailed medical case for microwave strikes has been made by Beatrice A. Golomb, a medical doctor and professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego. In a forthcoming paper to be published in October in Neural Computation, a peer-reviewed journal of the MIT Press, she lays out potential medical evidence for Cuban microwave strikes. In closing, she argued that =E2=80=9Cnumerous highly specific features=E2= =80=9D of the diplomatic incidents =E2=80=9Cfit the hypothesis=E2=80=9D of a microwave at= tack, including the Frey-type production of disturbing sounds. But Mr. Zaid, the Washington lawyer, who represents eight of the diplomats and family members, said microwave attacks may have injured his clients. =E2=80=9CIt=E2=80=99s sort of na=C3=AFve to think this just started now,=E2= =80=9D he said. Globally, he added, covert strikes with the potent beams appear to have been going on for decades.
