Speech 7 Minutes

Hello people my name is Marshall Gregory Thomas. A few evil men are using classified anti-personnel weapons in a secret dirty war of torture and assassination targeting political activists and whistleblowers. Innocent men, women, even children are being used as human guinea pigs. They may all die from the effects of non-ionizing radiation or commit suicide to escape the constant unendurable pain. Our task is to confront this madness head on and to end it. This nightmare began in the 1950’s when the Russians attacked the US embassy in Moscow with microwave weapons. In response the US began a program to develop our own microwave weapons in secret in places like Los Alamos, Stanford Research Institute, DARPA, Lockheed, and Raytheon. The active denial system is a public weapon, a kinder gentler nonlethal microwave weapon that instantly heats your skin to 130 degrees F and feels like you are touching a red hot frying pan. It is a pain amplification device that does not kill and thus avoids a public backlash. The Russians have had microwave weapons that can kill from a distance of half a mile for decades, so where are the US weapons that kill? They’re secret because they leave virtually no physical trace and the ability to torture and kill in a manner that is plausibly deniable is at the very heart of this secret dirty war. How did it come to this? Sadly there is a long history of using our own people as human guinea pigs and making hit lists of political activists. During the Cold War half a million US citizens were used in NBC weapons experiments. Cointelpro, was a secret war begun in the 1950’s by the FBI against the civil rights movement. Counterinsurgency warfare tactics including forced suicide and murder were used against political activists. MKULTRA was the mini Manhattan project to control the human mind that used electroshock, torture, drugs, and hypnosis to break the minds of children to control them. Today MKULTRA and the other illegal programs have evolved into a single terrible program that uses microwave weapons torture to break down minds and neutralize people. Non-ionizing radiation similar to a microwave oven causes their hearts to race, lungs to gasp for breath, they experience physical heating, dizziness, nausea, headache, confusion, memory loss, loss of concentration, panic attacks, and sleep deprivation that goes on for years. Pain in the form of burns, shocks, stabs, stings, and muscle spasms is delivered periodically so they’re always on the verge of another round of physical trauma. The experiment uses trauma like Communist interrogators used torture to change a prisoner’s political beliefs. Torture is merely a tool to manipulate the mind of the human experimental subject. Like shocking a mouse as it moves down a maze making it turn right or left at will. About half the targets are tracked with GPS technology and harassed in public in a practice called organized stalking, mobbing, or street theater. Community watch groups participate because they have been told they’re helping police drive dangerous criminals out of the community. But in reality the targets are innocent political activists. This nightmarish program threatens not just a few hundred activists but our entire democratic way of life and perhaps the future freedom of all people. To stop this illegal program I recommend authorities detain NSA director General Keith B. Alexander and Army intelligence director General David Lacquement. More evidence is free online in books and films titled MONARCH: The New Phoenix Program. These perpetrators are psychological warfare experts who will block the websites or use fake books, films, and websites or a strategy called shoot the messenger, a smear campaign, one public relations disaster after another to change the subject away from their crimes. Please, ignore the smoke screen and focus on the facts and just the facts. To stop this madness I suggest five reforms. 1. Disarm all electromagnetic weapons. 2. Open all records and secret archives. 3. Establish a truth and reconciliation commission. 4. An international conference to ban all electromagnetic weapons. 5. Finally, an international bill of rights that is enforceable. We can expect stonewalling and lying so I suggest a nonviolent civil disobedience campaign to pressure leaders to detain the criminals and adopt the five reforms. This is our moment of truth; by acting as one we will overcome this fortress of evil. Please drive with your headlights on to signify your understanding of what we’re up against. There is more I wish to say but no time. The film that follows probably concerns me and I am an unknown. I grew up in a small town, played sports, read books, spent my summers at the boys club, graduated high school with a GED, and worked my way through junior college. I worked for NASA and then taught school. Traveling on spring break I became ill and for years suffered disability and constant pain. I recovered a changed man and then had a mystical experience in the mountains that accounts for what you may be about to see. My special thanks to all those who’ve sacrificed to make this day possible, thank you and God bless you.

Autoimmune Illness 1995-2004

Thyroid Disease and Auto-immune Disease 1995-2004
In March 1995 I was teaching English to foreign language students. For Spring Break I decided it would be a good idea to go to Central America to get away and practice my Spanish. I became very ill while in Guatemala during my two week stay there. After I returned to work I noticed that my energy level was very low and that I could barely make it through the day. In June my throat (thyroid gland) began to swell up to a ridiculous size until a hard cyst like mass formed and didn’t go away. The school district didn’t want to pay for my treatment and began to do the set up paper work to fire me. The surgery was done in January and the surgeon did a very professional job, taking out one side of my thyroid. He described a lesion on the right side thyroid but was smart enough to leave it in. The tumor was about 4.5 cm in diameter and very hard and fibrous. The pathology report said it was pre-cancerous. The muscles that held my head up were cut during the surgery and now they were held together with giant metal hoop staples. A friend of mine who saw me later said I looked like the guy from Hell Raiser. My health seemed to slowly fade out on me until it was worse than before. The fatigue was so profound that when I tried to walk across the living room I had to stop and rest before I went back. My appetite grew very poor, I was overcome with pain and nausea I didn’t eat for two weeks. For six months I tried to get my job back and to get the HMO to help me, and then I just gave up on them both. It was clear they had orders to ignore me. On days when I wasn’t too ill to walk I found old cars that weren’t running, bought them from the owners, and got them running again and sold them. To keep body and soul together I quickly burned through all of my savings.
My illness seemed to be a roller coaster with highs and lows that left me at the bottom stuck on the couch for a couple of weeks, and then the symptoms would lessen for a few days and allow activity. I waited for this maddening sine wave to relent and then I loaded my motorcycle into my 79 VW hippy van, rented a U-Haul truck, threw everything I had in it, loaded up the cocker spaniel and the orange tabby cat, and headed to the hill country above Austin, towing the van behind the U-haul. I had traded the 72 Ford Mustang I was repairing to a friend in return for 6 months rent on his 10 acre deer lease that he said had a house on it, but in reality it was an old shack. It was July, 1995 and I had landed like a human ship wreck in the middle of nowhere. I had been born in Austin 33 years previously so I felt like I was coming home…to die. I wasn’t morose, it was just that the symptoms were relapsing and remitting and progressive. All of which means that the nausea, profound fatigue, night sweats, inability to sleep, muscle weakness, terrible kidney pain, passing blood, vertigo, and tinnitus all came and went and got worse as time went on. The most profound symptom of all was unbearable neck pain about C4 that left my neck frozen much of the time. All of the muscles that were innervated off my spine seemed to slowly contract until the pain was unbearable and it was hard to breathe or move around. It was like living in a straight jacket or iron maiden of my own muscles. Even at rest my breathing would be labored like I was climbing a long flight of stairs. The book Osler’s Web about the life and work of a 19th Century physician had the closest description I could find of my disease. A patient who had traveled abroad had a persistent disease state with primary symptoms of persistent diarrhea and no calf muscles. Many of the old people I talked to that had traveled told me it was very common for people to get sick overseas and not recover. Historically when armies formed for war large numbers of men were crowded together and exposed to microbes that their bodies had never encountered. WWII was the first war that claimed more deaths from combat than from illness in history. Recalling the Greek hero Achilles who was felled by a golden arrow I wondered if the story was a poetic version of the disease written about in Osler’s Web. My calf muscles would waste away and then partially return. Was this the same as Achilles heel that was in fact some kind of version of Polio? I kept trying to read the literature and discover the cause of my disease.
Some days after working on a garden or other physical labor I had vertigo and muscle weakness so profound I couldn’t walk. My physical pain was very intense. I could move around my ten acres and I was happy here, no one bothered me. I began to write poetry and short stories as a kind of talking cure since I was too poor to afford a psychiatrist after all my disillusion at being a throw away human being. I still had my privacy, my dog and cat, my family by phone, and my dignity.
I woke one morning feeling especially bad. My complexion was chalk white and after couple of hours I suddenly passed out and woke up even more ashen faced. It scared me so I drove to the emergency room and told the doctor about my illness and what happened that morning. He ran a blood test then asked me how I was going to pay. “I don’t have insurance anymore, I’m not working”. He looked at me with pure disgust that turned to undisguised anger. I was given the business card to a local doctor and escorted out of the emergency room by a security guard. I was humiliated and angry with myself that I had trusted them again. I swore I would die first before returning. I was devastated by the intense pain of the muscle disorder centered at C4 but now more than ever the process of the deterioration of the white matter of my brain stem and brain raced out of control. For a long time the disease had resembled a light case of Polio or an aggressive case of Multiple Sclerosis. The muscles of my neck and calves would become too weak to use and them turn to a jelly like consistency and be absorbed by my body. The muscles of attention, the ones that had to work constantly to keep my head erect or my body standing would literally disappear in a matter of a week. The fatigue was always the kind of profound fatigue that puts marathon runners in bed for weeks. Trying to live with this and the inability to sleep more than two fitful hours at a time had made me face up to the fact that I was slowly dying and absent a miracle would probably be dead in a few years. The only reason I was not in a facility being cared for was that the symptoms rose and fell enough for me to walk around for a few hours half the time. The relapse that I had been dreading for so long now came on with a vengeance. I was unable to walk from one room to the other without a terror of falling and being stranded. My ability to think and concentrate became so affected that I could only communicate in 3 or 4 word sentences. The ability to process what was said to me or to watch TV and take in the words was so attenuated that I could not follow the word streams that made up sentences. Finally my time sense became completely inoperable such that 8 hours seemed like 15 minutes. Every day for months I staggered into the living room and sat in a chair with my eyes rolled back in my head. The white matter of my brain and central nervous system was being degraded and literally eaten away such that now I could not stand light, noise, nor process sensory input of any kind. I could not watch TV or listen to the radio or read. I just sat in a chair with my eyes rolled back in my head with all the lights off in silence. Looking in the mirror I saw a person who was ashen faced and resembled nothing so much as a groaning zombie with eyes half turned upward. I contemplated getting a video camera and taping a final statement to show people what had happened to me and that I was committing suicide out of necessity. By summer I was able to listen to soothing slow classical music without feeling pain or sensory overload. I still could not listen to fast music or watch TV. Gradually I was able to read again and by fall I was still sitting in the chair all day covered by a quilt and listening to classical music and reading. My time sense had returned to normal. By winter I could converse normally. Christmas came and I was able to process information in the form of TV and streams of normal conversation such that I could understand it completely again. I had sat in the chair for the better part of a year and concentrated on classical music through all but the worst of it.
The sleep disorder got so bad that I couldn’t sleep again for months and I felt like I was treading on the edge of life and death again. I went to a specialist in Lubbock and after 4 visits during which he did nothing I talked to the nurse and he finally gave me something that made it possible for me to sleep. Once again traditional medicine kind of left me flat, but at least I was sleeping again. I looked up the name of an osteopath, a form of humanity which I had never met before. He sketched out a diet and vitamin regiment for me to try and gave me an intravenous drip of vitamins B-12, C, and magnesium. I stayed on the diet for two weeks and my symptoms mitigated. When I went off the diet to test the proposition I immediately suffered a brief relapse. I doubt everything but I couldn’t doubt what works. The IV drips of massive doses of vitamins gave me energy for at least 3-4 days. The 9 different types of vitamins he had me on and the diet made life tolerable again. They informed me that many people in my straights often were able to slowly rebuild their immune systems and recover gradually over the space of several years. I had been sick for five years and imagined I could get well in 2 more years. The diet was hard to follow in our modern world. Eat oats (oatmeal) and eggs, fish, liver, chicken and vegetables. Avoid sugar and packaged food of any kind plus anything that was carbohydrate was too glycemic in the blood stream. Bread and corn and white rice are quickly converted to sugars and sugar, especially in its pure form, was toxic. Everything touched by the hand of man was pretty much messed up. Even juice was sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. I drank water or tomato juice. The doctor believed that the human body was capable of healing itself given the right kind of nutrition. Restoring blood flow to affected areas of the body increased the oxygen in tissues which kills pathogens. I had a hard time at first buying into the dogma of the osteopath and asked him some hard questions. “What about epidemic disease like the influenza epidemic of 1918?” The old man smiled and said, “My father was a doctor at L.A. County hospital during the epidemic”. “They had two wings of the hospital, one devoted to Allopathic doctors (MD’s) and one wing devoted to Osteopathy”. “In the Allopathic wing they lost 50% of their patients and in the Osteopathic wing they only lost 10% to the epidemic”. I never went back to check up on his facts but the doctor had a lot of cache with me. He was 80 years old and played tennis every day and was ranked at the top of the USTA seniors doubles bracket. If I kept on the vitamins and diet I felt better and as soon as I got off the diet by eating something with sugar in it or a glycemic food I would have a relapse of symptoms. You can’t argue with success. After a few months it became easy to stay on the diet. I used honey as a substitute for sugar and didn’t eat anything in a package. I lived on salmon and eggs and butter and vegetables out of my garden. Every week I went down to his office and got an IV drip of B-12, Vitamin C, and Magnesium. I would feel nearly human for about 3 days and then less so. I was still in pretty bad shape but I was doing better and I had hope now because I could see a way out. This man had helped a lot of people and he was an inspiration to me.
I had decided to study microbiology and focus on hanta virus and Yesinia pestis. I had written a book about Bubonic Plague and its effects on history when I lived in Georgetown and now I hoped to put some of that research to work. I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. I had been through tremendous human suffering for the past six years and I hoped to study disease organisms and try to heal myself once and for all. On the average day I could physically walk about 100 meters before becoming stressed. Fortunately this was about the distance from the parking lot to my classes. I was glad to be out of the small town and back in school but it was not going to be easy.
I really enjoyed being around other people for a change and my classes went well. When my first three semesters were over I had made the highest test grade in the hardest biology classes several times. I was doing better physically but I still had to drive to the university and then ride my bike around campus rather than try to walk. Microbiology was starting to get really interesting because the scientists and doctors who taught and came to speak to the classes were living and fighting in the trenches. Public health not only made the difference in the life or death of individuals it was often the fulcrum that decided which nations in history would succeed and which ones would fail. This science at my finger tips had doubled the human life span in the last 130 years and made the modern world possible. I joined the Hanta Virus team as they did field work and unlocked the secrets of this least understood of all rodent borne plagues. We were risking our lives being exposed to these animals and their blood but whole civilizations had risen or fallen on the mysteries that we were helping to elucidate. One of my colleagues working on his PhD had fallen ill doing field work in a south Texas swamp and he nearly died from what was probably an arbovirus…a mosquito borne virus like Dengue Fever. He was young and healthy and so he only felt like he wished he had died for several weeks and then he made a slow recovery. That year three people who were visiting nearby in New Mexico contracted bubonic plague but they were treated in time and lived. During the same time period eight people in the immediate area contracted Hanta Virus and only two of them survived. I had picked the most deadly pathogen on the continent to study and I made myself the resident expert by reading every scientific paper I could get my hands on. The field work that entailed marching around forests and swamps proved to be too demanding in my physical state so I concentrated on creating an archive of research that could be used as a mini reference library for the team. Occasionally I would become depressed and for several weeks I would walk around wearing black and mumbling to myself, “I wish I was dead”. I fought through these periods of depression and thought of them as side effects of my illness. I quit going to the doctor and instead sought relief through massage therapy. The intense pain in my neck at C4 was still nearly always with me as was the slow contraction of my muscles innervated from my back. Three days after the relief of a massage the slow contraction of muscles would again have my neck frozen and my back and ribs in agony. It was very hard to continue to live and work like this but I kept pushing myself to my limits and beyond. When my health and other complications became too great to continue I quit the field since I weighed 120 pounds. After I recovered somewhat I implemented an idea for a biodefense medication that could be used in a national emergency against bubonic plague. For the next 130 days I worked 12 hours a day to do the research and complete a grant application to the NIH for a bioshield program grant to make the novel drug. I found the perfect answer for the Soviet plague bioweapon in a certain bacteriophage drug. I found partners with experience including one who was a former director of the National Defense University. I contracted with a biotech company to manufacture the drug and designed the experiments to test the drug on animals in a private lab to prove it worked. I had a chance to turn the years of suffering into an opportunity to save human lives. In June, 2004 I submitted my grant application and drove my car to Olympia, Washington to work in one of the premier bacteriophage labs in the world. I was not entirely cured but I had turned the corner and had a reason to continue fighting.

Past Transgressions

Drug use;
I want to say how deeply I regret what happened and I want to apologize to parents and their children who look to me as an example. Without meaning to I have made being a parent harder and have set a terrible example for young people. I am very sorry and very ashamed for the behavior I have exhibited. When I was a young teen my parents divorced and I began to experiment with drugs and alcohol. I blamed myself for the loss of my family and looking back I realize now it took years to come to terms with it. At the time I told myself it didn’t matter but I was fooling myself. Most people do not behave like that when their parents get divorced. This period of self medication lasted until my early twenties when I quit using drugs and alcohol. . During times of depression I’ve returned to using alcohol and marijuana for discrete periods of time. Travel out of the country in 1995 I became very ill and developed thyroid disease and an autoimmune disease. I used marijuana to treat the symptoms such as loss of appetite that led me to go from 180lbs to 120lbs in a few months. Severe muscle spasms made it impossible to turn my head, breath normally, sleep normally, or even put on a shirt or open a window without injuring myself. When I used marijuana the muscles of my neck and back would let go and snap and pop so loudly they could be heard from across the room. My physical suffering has been terrible for years and marijuana gave me some relief from the constant pain. Years ago (2004) I lost my home, my job, and had a break with family and was temporarily sleeping on the couch of a friend. I was living in an environment where people were using drugs such as cocaine. While surrounded by that kind of environment I used cocaine a couple of times but did not use the drug since this episode. I’ve never been addicted to drugs or alcohol. I pledge in the future not to smoke cigarettes, abuse alcohol, or to break the drug laws.
Racist rant:
I want to say how terribly sorry I am and I want to apologize to the people who had to listen to such a frightening and nauseating hate filled angry rant. I particularly want to apologize to children who heard it due to the vulnerability of their years. I found it not just disgusting but chilling and frightening. To the targeted individuals suffering torture with their hopes for justice, I can only say that I have let you down. It may be too much to ask for forgiveness so I will only humbly ask that you listen to my explanation and try to understand where these statements came from and why. Overwhelming anger turned inward is suicidal depression. Anger turned outward is homicidal rage. People who experience these strong emotions either commit suicide or they lose their nerve and commit murder. At that point in time I was very depressed and suicidal. I had been sick for 7 or more years and unable to work most of the time. I was unable to sleep for many months, unable to sleep save for two hours at a time for months on end. I was saying things out loud like, “I wish I was dead” and saying, “If you had any guts you would kill yourself”. I remember walking through a great empty hall that echoed with my footsteps and when I perceived that I was alone I said out loud without meaning to, “I wish I was dead”. I was saying these things spontaneously without meaning to and it felt as if someone else were speaking. I was unable to sleep for 6 months and I felt like I was going to die if I didn’t get help, if I couldn’t sleep soon. I was having a breakdown. I went to the doctor and he gave me amatryptaline hcl, which in small doses is a sleep aid and larger doses is an anti-depressant. I started taking about 5-10 milligrams and I was able to sleep again. I had been unable to sleep for more than 6 months and I thought I was going to die. I think the doctor saved my life. My illness put me through incredible suffering for years, suffering I don’t even know how to describe. I can only say that I don’t hate anyone. That was the worst time in my life and I can say without guilt or reservation that is not how I have behaved or lived my life. I have by choice lived in racially mixed neighborhoods. In my late twenties I moved into a Hispanic neighborhood and immersed myself in Spanish to learn a different language and culture. I quit my job at NASA and became a school teacher teaching ESL. My kids came from Mexico, El Salvador, Korea, Vietnam, all over the world. When I travel I go to Mexico and Central America, not Canada. I have dated women with African American heritage, Hispanic heritage, and Asian heritage. My friendships are not bounded by race. I do not act like a racist because I am not a racist. I have never used a racial slur with the aim of making someone feel bad. From the age of six I played sports at the Boy’s Club with African American kids. I have lived in African American neighborhoods where I was often the only Caucasian in stores or on the street. I’ve lived in Hispanic neighborhoods where all my friends and neighbors were Central Americans. My first roommate was African American. It is easy to live surrounded by your own race but I’ve lived in proximity to other races out of choice. Racists live surrounded by their own race by choice. If I am a racist I am the only racist in history that has lived, worked and dated other races. I was having a breakdown due to a medical condition. I lost 55 pounds and weighed 120 pounds. My parents thought I was going to die and I had to move home to try to recover.
Prostitution:
Due to my extreme form of muscle disorder I sought help from massage therapists for many years. At times I went to two or more different professionals because after two or three days the pain would become intolerable again. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the massage therapists who have helped me regain the ability to function again. Years ago I moved to Houston and did not know anyone who could help me so I made an appointment through the phone book with a massage therapy business. When I went to my appointment I was surprised that the business was engaged in more than just massage therapy. By accident I had stumbled into a prostitution operation and since it was my first time to do so I took advantage of the novelty of the situation and availed myself of their services. It was the first time I had ever paid for sex and I have never repeated the experience. In retrospect I wish I had not done so because prostitution takes advantage of women and is often controlled by organized crime. I wish that I had had the wisdom and good sense to turn around and walk out of there. This is not a behavior I admire in myself or others and I have never made the mistake again.
Assault charge;
In the late 1990’s my mother was in an abusive relationship. She was afraid of her husband and asked me to travel from Texas to Maryland to protect her when she told him she wanted a divorce. She had had four heart attacks and she had been acting strangely and I knew something bad had been going on. I was present when she told him she wanted a divorce and he was an alcoholic who began drinking again and being verbally abusive. They began to argue later and he put his hands on her and was pushing her around. I came between them and he struck me so I gave him several blows to his right ear. I left to avoid criminal charges and was told that he was at the court house in the morning before she was; he locked her out of her house, stole all her savings, and continued to make her life difficult whenever possible. In retrospect I wish I had not struck him. I broke no bones nor caused any serious injuries and was attempting only to defend myself and perhaps scare him into leaving my mother alone. When I contacted the police in Maryland they declined to extradite me for the domestic dispute. In retrospect my actions only made this unstable person feel justified in further victimizing my mother. I wish this person no ill and would like to sincerely apologize for my spontaneous actions.
Retard remarks;
The term retarded is a word that has no meaning. There is no such thing. The real term, the real cause of mental disability is brain damage. This is a physical injury to the brain. My cousin has an aunt with a mental handicap. She was struck by a car as a young child, when you talk to her she has an amazing insight into life and a great outlook, a great world view. When you talk to her nothing is readily amiss yet when you ask her how much something costs she has no idea, no ability to gauge proportionality. She is not retarded she has brain damage. I taught special education as a substitute teacher and realized how much energy and dedication it takes for the teachers and the students and the parents. There was one boy who was about twelve who had cerebral palsy that had to wear a helmet because he would hit his head. The teacher I was helping had taken a lot of time and effort and over the course of a year she had gotten him to cease striking his head and he had blossomed under her care. He had special abilities like the Rain Man; he would ask you the day and year of your birth and could tell you the day of the week you were born in about ten seconds. More than his special ability though he had a spark, a spirit that made me realize how special he was and how valuable his life was to the people around him. He changed that way I looked at people with disabilities and made me realize there was no such thing as retarded, that in fact all of these people had brain injuries. Making fun of people with a brain injury is like laughing at someone in a wheel chair. While traveling outside the country I became very ill and for years suffered a debilitating autoimmune disease similar to an encephalopathy, a brain disease that left me with muscle atrophy. My lower legs, my calf muscles and my neck muscles would atrophy very rapidly at times so badly I could not hold my head up or walk very far. In the fifth year the symptoms became much worse and I could not stand light or sound and was unable to do much more than sit in a chair for a year. When I recovered I found that my memory which had once been very acute was no longer working as well. Previously I had been able to remember things I had read 25 years before but afterwards it took me ten minutes or more to remember things I could have recalled instantly. It was as if someone had taken all my memory files and scrambled them up so that the information was still in there it was just very hard to bring up. I still have physical and memory problems to this day. I began to refer to myself jokingly as a retard but I have never called another person that or used that word to hurt anyone. I have used it freely referring to myself because I consider it to be a false term. There is no such thing; there is only a population of people who suffer from brain injury. I also have referred to myself with a pejorative term for gay people. I have used the term fag to be self deprecating towards myself but not to other people. I believe that gay people are born that way and are made in the image of God and deserve all the rights that other human beings enjoy including the freedom from fear of persecution. I have never called a gay person names in order to cause them pain but have only used the term to make fun of myself.
Committed to County Mental Health Facility;
I have historically had a very complex and difficult relationship with my step mother. Don’t get me wrong, I love my step mother and we get along well now but this was not always the case. If you have ever had a step parent you know that it can be one of the most challenging relationships in your entire life. Just let me say that in the past we did not get along well and there was a lot of conflict. Years ago I was talking to my step mother and said in a rather joking manner that I thought perhaps I should kill myself. I don’t remember the context of the remark but I do remember that I was being flippant; I was kidding around with her and trying to strike a light tone. Not all jokes work well and some backfire spectacularly. A few days later I was sitting at home and the doorbell rang, the two sheriffs deputies at the door handcuffed and took me to the county health facility. I was interviewed for ten minutes by a mental health professional about whether I still wanted to commit suicide. I told them that I had been joking with my step mother and that she was getting even with me for past transgressions. He refused to believe me and kept me there for about a week or more for observation and then let me go home. At the end of my stay after a ten minute interview they told me I was suffering from bipolar disorder. I was then discharged and that was my first and last experience of its kind. I have known psychologists and psychiatrists all my life. As a young child my mom’s best friend was a university psychology student who used me for her home work, she gave me an IQ test when I was in second grade. Later as a teenager my parent’s best friends were both psychiatrists. They had gone to school together at the University of Texas. Don and his wife and my family went camping together and went on canoeing trips together About the time of my parent’s divorce I was a depressed teenager and he talked with me once a week for a while. He gave me a series of personality tests and IQ tests and talked me into quitting the use of marijuana. He demonstrated graphically that my performance on the tests I took showed that my central nervous system was working at less than 70% efficiency. He said I was self medicating to treat my emotional distress and convinced me to quit smoking marijuana. Don said that my father, who was a product of the Midwest, was what he termed, “so normal it was almost scary”. He also told me that I had inherited an excellent central nervous system and that I had the potential for what he termed, “A lot of ego strength”, which is a fancy way of saying the ability to make up your own mind about things. He said I had a bright future and he was happy to be a part of it. I dated a woman who was a psychologist and when we broke up she said perhaps I was Oedipal but that may have been out of anger. My academic advisor when I was studying microbiology was a psychologist with 30 years in the field. We became very good friends. He told me about a study in California at the turn of the century that followed the top 2% of the population throughout their lives and this famous study was the basis for the Stanford Binet IQ test and other important results. The people with an IQ in the top 2% of the population did better than the general population by every measure including life span, income, relationships, disease, mental health, and in every measurement. It is cliché that smart people are a little crazy but this landmark study shows quite the opposite, that bright people are healthier than the general population. This cliché is part of a tradition of anti-intellectualism.
There is going to be more information in the future that bears heavily on this story. I am asking people not to make up their minds right away and to keep an open mind about what they have heard or been told. There is more information, important information that they are not getting. This information will make the current story completely different and I am sure people will change their minds, so please do not immediately come to any final conclusions.

Arrested How Many Times?

Arrested why so many times?
I began to buy old cars at the age of sixteen. I would call them broken down muscle cars. They had mechanical problems that I was often unable or unwilling to fix. Everything from substandard exhaust systems to burned out tail lights. These cars couldn’t pass the vehicle inspections and so I usually had expired inspection stickers and being a rebellious teen with a problem toward authority I often got tickets and refused to pay the fines. As a result I often had warrants out for my arrest and I frequently got arrested, but never for anything more serious than failure to pay my fines. Twenty years later I got very ill while traveling in Central America and had thyroid disease and an autoimmune disease. I suffered constant pain, muscle disorder, and an inability to sleep or eat normally. I used cannabis for relief and was arrested for marijuana possession several times.
Some people can get away with anything but I am one of those people who get arrested for jay walking. I long ago realized that I was a magnet for law enforcement, perhaps it is something I give off in the air like an aura of defiance, I frankly don’t know. I was a rebellious youth who challenged authority at every turn. There is an old Japanese saying that the nail that sticks out the farthest is the one that gets hammered down. I’m not a liar, a cheat, a thief, a bully, a rapist, or a murderer, or someone who preys on other people. On one occasion as an adult when I was broke, ill, and desperate I stole something of value from an institution worth about $100. I am a mild mannered person who doesn’t like to be told what to do or what to think. When I didn’t use cannabis I had no appetite and became dangerously thin. I have been in constant pain for many years. At one point so ill I was unable to sleep for 6 months and thought I was going to die. Most injuries, assaults and deaths are connected to the use of alcohol. I tried to use alcohol for the pain but it made me ill. I believe that people who are adults are capable of making up their own minds about their lives without having someone else tell them how to live as long as they don’t make themselves a ward of the state and as long as their freedom does not interfere with the rights of other people. In this matter I describe myself as a libertarian. Smoking cigarettes accounts for about 500,000 deaths a year but knowing that if adults want to smoke cigarettes they should be allowed to. The last time I was arrested I was taking care of my mom after her surgery. She was unable to walk or drive for months and I had to go to the pharmacy for her and pick up her pain medication. I was sitting in my car typing on my laptop outside a Starbucks when the police tapped on my driver’s side window, and towed my car for having a Texas driver’s license in Virginia. They searched me and found her pain medication and a small quantity of marijuana. Even though they dropped the charges I decided to quit using marijuana after this and am willing to take a drug test to prove it. I pledge not to abuse alcohol or break the drug laws in the future.

Conspiracy theory and other beliefs:

Conspiracy theory and other beliefs:
It is inevitable that the well worn charge of conspiracy theory will be used to discredit the messenger. Therefore it is necessary to identify what my beliefs are in that regard. The following are my position on standard borderline beliefs.
Kennedy Assassination: Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed President Kennedy in Dallas.
911: Osama Bin Laden, not George Bush was behind the destruction of the WTC and the attack on the Pentagon. The Pentagon was not hit by a missile.
Moon Landings: NASA did reach the moon and the moon walks were real.
Alien Invaders: There is probably intelligent life in the universe but the distances are so vast between that even traveling at the speed of light it would take millions of years to reach earth. The idea of hostile aliens visiting earth with designs on the earth is false.
Loch Ness Monster; Sasquatch; etc: There is probably no such things since there are no physical remains found such as bones or remains.
Origin of Life: Life probably began here on earth with the formation of organic molecules such as amino acids and primitive cell membranes in tidal pools and the gradual rise of complexity and organization.
Spontaneous Combustion: I have no idea if this phenomenon is real and if it is how it is caused.
Tunguska Explosion: The event was probably a natural explosion of a comet traveling at very high speed in the atmosphere.
Ghosts and Evil Spirits: There are no such things as ghosts and or evil spirits.
God, the Devil, Heaven and Hell: I believe in God as an all powerful force in the universe but I do not believe in the devil or in a place called hell. I do believe in evil and the ability of mankind to turn the earth into a type of hell.
Religion: God does not subscribe to human dogmas. I believe that all religions are manifestations of human attempts to describe the same thing and as such they are all equally imperfect yet well meaning.
Illuminati: I do not believe in secret bloodlines that lead back to Jesus.
I am a scientist by training and believe in the scientific method and what I can measure and quantify or in what I have experienced personally. I give credence to studies that have been peer reviewed and published in scientific journals but much of popular science is junk science.

Corroborating evidence by journalists;

Corroborating evidence by journalists;
Bob Woodward describes a secret electronic warfare capability possessed by Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). He writes that JSOC electronic warfare capabilities are a breakthrough in tracking, eavesdropping, and targeting and killing any targeted person in their area of operations. JSOC was able to find, track, listen too, and kill any and all human targets they wished in any weather, day or night, inside buildings, underground, anywhere in Iraq. This new breakthrough is a phenomenal war fighting capability that is unprecedented in the history of armed conflict. This is the same technology Lt Col Michael Aquino refers to as Excaliber, the magic sword in his 1980 MIND WAR paper.
Sy Hersh declared that Dick Cheney was in control of his very own death squad. JSOC reported directly to Cheney and assassinated people on a hit list without consultation with Congress in direct violation of the normal chain of military command and international law.
Walter Pincus has written about the electronic warfare tracking and targeting technologies that are a breakthrough that has changed the nature of warfare. It is clear that what he has written about is the same electronic warfare technology referred to by Bob Woodward and Sy Hersh.
These reporters are all referring to the same technological innovation in warfare that is without precedent. Military doctrine papers written by Aquino and others are speaking of an RMA, a revolution in military affairs similar to the invention of nuclear weapons. Theses electromagnetic weapons are a military breakthrough that turns the existing balance of world power on its head. Microwave and radio frequency radiation weapons can track targets in any weather over the entire surface of the earth, inside buildings, and even deep underground. These same technologies have been used illegally to track and attack political activists and whistleblowers in the US and other countries. Crimes against humanity have been committed using the latest anti-personnel weapons in the US arsenal. The author has documented the testimony of the victims, the existence of these weapons, and the persons of interest who have developed these weapons for the US Army. What is needed is an independent investigation by a scientific body without ties to the US government or military.

Hit it Harder; Make the Arguement

HIT IT HARD:
Innocent people are being attacked with microwave weapons every day in their homes and work places. They are living a nightmare that you can’t imagine. The EMW attacks with weapons similar to the active denial system cause physical heating of the body. The perpetrators employ a decoy and deception strategy to make it nearly impossible to tell who is attacking you or how the attacks are being accomplished. If the EM anti-personnel weapons were public you might believe them, as it stands now they have no chance. The 200 plus targeted people interviewed are mostly people with a history of political activism or whistleblowers, generally in their 40’s with other factors in common such as a high IQ. Is it logical to assume that they all suffer from spontaneous mass hysteria. Taking into consideration similar historical illegal programs attacking political activists and programs that used half a million US citizens a human guinea pigs shouldn’t we investigate?
Anti-personnel microwave weapons such as the active denial system and milliwave radars are for sale on the internet. They are redesigned not to kill, but where are the weapons that do cook people? The public weapons are designed not to cause a public backlash. Lethal American microwave weapons exist and they’ve been kept secret because they are VERY powerful. If the American people saw humans beings cooked alive or killed by induced heart failure they might object to microwave weapons as immoral and dangerous. The military does not want a public backlash against weapons they are pouring billions of dollars into.
The ADS has been engineered not to immediately cook people…where are the microwave weapons that do cook people? If weapons existed that could torture and kill people without a trace, without a chance of being caught, wouldn’t people be tempted to use them? If the US had weapons that could kill anyone anywhere without leaving physical evidence and only a select few knew of their existence wouldn’t they be tempted to use them for their own purposes? Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
In the 1950’s the Russians attacked the US embassy in Moscow with microwave weapons. This was kept secret from the American people until 1972 when the reporter Jack Anderson got a hold of the story. The US in response launched a crash program to develop microwave weapons. The Russians have had EM weapons for decades that can kill large animals at a distance of half a mile. By the 1970’s the Russians demonstrated the ability of microwave weapons to remotely neutralize individuals, control riots, debilitate opposing military forces, and enhance the performance of their own special operations forces. Were the Russians the only ones smart enough to develop microwave weapons? Where are these US anti-personnel weapons? The Russians by the 1970’s used microwave and radio frequency weapons to influence human behavior or kill animals over great distances. Could the US not figure out how to do this?
Milliwave radars are see through wall radars used by the military for house to house fighting because they see through normal building materials and the human beings inside are plainly visible. The entire world has been turned into a fish bowl and the American people no longer have privacy even inside their own homes.
Investigative reporters have said that Joint Special Operations Command, JSOC has a secret weapon, a revolutionary breakthrough in electronic warfare that allows them to track, target and kill anyone in their area of operations, day or night, in any weather, even inside buildings or deep underground. JSOC has a secret death squad that secretly assassinates targets on a hit list outside the normal military chain of command and outside the oversight of Congress in violation of US and international law.
There is a long prior pattern of criminal behavior. During the Cold War half a million US citizens were used as human guinea pigs in NBC weapons development programs. The Targeted Individuals are being used as guinea pigs in a nonlethal microwave weapons development program. Cointelpro, run by the FBI, was a secret domestic war targeting political activists. The majority of targeted individuals have a history of political activism or are whistleblowers. If half a million people in the past have been used as human guinea pigs to develop and test weapons systems for the government do you think they’ve stopped because they’ve seen the light? If people within the government made hit lists of political activists and progressives for decades and got away with it, would they have stopped now? If people are saying publically that they are being targeted with microwave weapons similar to the ADS and they fit the profile of people who were targeted in the past (activists) shouldn’t we investigate? The arguments that it can’t happen here in America or that it can’t be kept secret in America are dishonest and false arguments. All of the previous government war crimes were kept secret for decades. If Cold War era NBC weapons development programs, Cointelpro hit lists of activists, MKULTRA behavior modification experiments were covered up successfully for decades then how can someone claim that this can’t be kept secret?
The military intelligence elites are effectively above the law because the National Security Act of 1947 allows people in government to claim national security exceptions in court and cover up criminal wrong doing, basically saying “trust me or our enemies will learn state secrets”. Wearing the uniform does not mean that men stop being human and imperfect. The power to kill anyone anywhere is an absolute power that corrupts absolutely. J. Edgar Hoover was the most powerful man in Washington because he had files on Congressmen and Presidents that showed their human weakness and threatened their political careers. Hoover stayed in office until he died because he wanted to. This is what we are facing, men too powerful to defy, too powerful to dismiss from the positions of public power they hold.
These points should be emphasized. ONE: There is a long history of US government experimentation on citizens. TWO: The government has made hit lists of activists before. THREE: Microwave weapons have been used on humans as far back as WWII. FOUR: The Russian microwave weapons program existed for decades. The USSR in the 1950’s used microwave weapons to attack the US embassy in Moscow. FIVE: dozens of DOD funded scientists, their scientific papers, and patents prove these weapons exist. SIX: Public microwave weapons such as the active denial system and milliwave radars operate on the same principle as those used currently on activists and whistleblowers. They are called nonlethal weapons in order not to provoke a public backlash. SEVEN: Military doctrine papers have been written about how to use microwave and ELF microwave weapons against not just armies but against individuals and large scale civilian populations. EIGHT: There are persons of interest in the intelligence agencies including the man in charge of nonlethal weapons development for decades who has advocated using these weapons on civilians in their homes and moved the classified weapons into the hands of local police. NINE: There is a population of credible witnesses who fit a common profile (mostly activists and whistleblowers in their 40’s with high IQ’s) who have been saying for years that they are being targeted with these weapons. TEN: There is a long pattern of illegal behavior by some members of the intelligence agencies including death squads aimed at civilians such as the Phoenix Program. ELEVEN: Prominent investigative journalists have written about JSOC misusing electronic warfare breakthroughs and secret weapons used for tracking, targeting, and assassination. There is more evidence in my free books and films online entitled Monarch: The New Phoenix Program, making it clear to any reasonable person that these crimes are taking place. The WORLD needs five reforms. 1. Disarm all electromagnetic weapons systems. 2. Open all records and archives. 3. Establish a truth and reconciliation commission, Nuremburg like tribunals, and a War Reparations Board to reform the system. 4. Convene an international conference to ban all electromagnetic weapons and verification systems because we cannot accept the government’s word alone. 5. Finally, an international bill of rights that is enforceable such that the state cannot crush its internal enemies with impunity.
Persons of interest in the intelligence agencies have been in charge of developing nonlethal microwave weapons for the Army since 1980 and express interest in using EM weapons to modify human behavior and neuter people considered potential enemies, advocate using EM weapons to attack civilians in their homes. They’ve been instrumental in moving the classified military weapons from the DOD to the DOJ and into the hands of local law enforcement for use against, “domestic enemies and domestic disturbances”. These men are experts in psychological warfare operations each with 45 years experience in the art of misdirection, subterfuge, and counterinsurgency warfare. I encourage you to Google both Michael Aquino and Alexander.
The majority of targets of EM weapons attacks are also victims of organized stalking, also called gang stalking, mobbing, or street theater. Community watch groups and others are told they are helping the police and encouraged to participate in a stalking game that uses GPS to follow targets everywhere they go and harass them with low level attacks designed to drive them out of the community. The targets are put under video and audio surveillance and the tapes are edited to depict them as bad people to motivate the stalkers. Imagine if you had been put under audio and video surveillance for a year and a hostile person could edit the tapes any way they wished in order to depict you in the most unfavorable light possible. The targets are victims of a sophisticated smear campaign to convince the stalkers that they are criminals such as murderers, rapist, drug dealers, child molesters, racists, and other undesirable elements who must be driven out of the community. The stalking game uses low level attacks such as cursing the target in public everywhere they go, bumping into them on purpose, starting arguments and fights, break-ins to steal their possessions and personal papers, vandalizing their cars and homes, sabotaging their computer, harassment at work, noise campaigns such as blasting music from a neighboring apartment all night. A symphony of numerous small attacks after a few weeks pegs the stress level of the target at artificially high levels until they become depressed and psychologically traumatized. This is a strategy that might be termed the death of a thousand cuts. These tactics are similar to the Army’s use of biscuit teams, an individually tailored campaign of psychological attacks designed by a medical doctor, a psychologist, and interrogation specialist using dozens of stress factors applied constantly over a long period of time to slowly break down and psychologically destroy the subject. About half of the targets are attacked with both microwave weapons and organized stalking while half receive either organized stalking or EM weapons attacks alone.
It is inevitable that the targets will be called crazy and the program will be explained away as mass hysteria. This has happened to the people used as human guinea pigs in the past. The half million people used in NBC experiments, the targets of Cointelpro and Project MKULTRA, all the previous victims were subject to being discredited in this way. In 1947 Mr. Elmer Allen was injected with plutonium in the left leg and the next day the leg was amputated. He told his best friend and his family doctor back home in Italy, Texas that he thought he had been used as a human guinea pig. His best friend didn’t believe him and his family doctor classified him as a paranoid schizophrenic. His family didn’t find out the truth until after he died. In 1995 the government held hearings and issued a report but no one was punished. The political activist targets of Cointelpro were depicted as paranoid when they claimed the government was following them and harassing and sabotaging their lives. MKULTRA survivors still live in fear in the shadows today. If they tell a doctor or therapist that as children they were drugged and tortured in government labs in behavior modification experiments they will be classified as crazy. It is only when they find therapists that specialize in treating trauma abuse victims that they can safely admit the truth. MKULTRA was run by government funded psychiatrists and has evolved into the current program of microwave weapons torture and organized stalking that I call MONARCH. Psychiatrists have designed the program to hide a few thousand traumatized targets within the population of millions of mentally ill people. It is inevitable that the current MONARCH victims be smeared as tin foil hat people and cases of mass hysteria because all the previous victims of illegal government experimentation and targeting have all suffered the same fate. To say that it can’t happen here or that something this big cannot be kept quiet is untrue because all the previous illegal programs involving a half million victims did happen here and they were kept secret. In the end the guilty parties got away with it every time.
MKULTRA experimented on children and adults in the lab using severe physical and mental trauma and drugs as tools to split the mind and create MPD. The MPD functions like partitioning the hard drive of a computer. MPD was used as an opening to hypnotize the subject and use them for espionage operations. The subject could be hypnotized and used for operations but have no memory of their time under hypnosis and only be consciously aware of the sense of lost time. The victims of MKULTRA that still survive suffer mental and physical illness and distress but have learned not to tell medical personnel that they were experimented upon as children to avoid being listed as paranoid schizophrenics. MKULTRA survivors still live in the shadows and do not admit to physicians and therapists they are victims of government experimentation to avoid mental health stigma. There is a population of therapists who are aware of the existence of MKULTRA and they treat these patients at no small risk to themselves. Dr Ewen Cameron and Dr Martin T. Orne were some of the most powerful psychiatrists in the world who developed MKULTRA methods for the CIA. Government funded psychiatrists have helped develop the current program that uses microwave weapons torture to mentally break down targets and neutralize people.
Demands for air tight proof are impossible to meet as long as the perpetrators of crimes against humanity are allowed to use national security exceptions in courts of law. This game of “trust me or our enemies will learn state secrets” allows criminal acts to be covered up for decades. The human radiation experiments were successfully covered up for 52 years as were all the other illegal programs. The only way air tight proof of this secret war can be obtained is to break into Fort Meade or Fort Meyers into Army intelligence and NSA headquarters and steal government documents or have a government employee steal documents and leak them to the press. Even this may not work completely. Political activist Abbie Hoffman broke into FBI offices and stole Cointelpro documents and leaked them to the press. Congress held multiple hearings years later but no one ever went to jail and Cointelpro never stopped. To demand air tight proof is unreasonable in the extreme and impossible under the circumstances. One might as well demand a spontaneous confession like a TV episode of Perry Mason. It is possible to obtain a conviction of murder in a criminal trial without producing the body of the victim. This case presents much more evidence of crimes against humanity. The weapons are proven to exist, there is a prior pattern of criminal behavior, credible victims and witnesses have testified, investigative reporters have published similar claims, persons of interest are named who have developed these weapons, written about how to use the weapons, advocated using the weapons, given the weapons to local law enforcement, and participated in a cover up. In view of similar programs in the past that went undiscovered and unpunished a different strategy is necessary. An independent special prosecutor is needed to investigate these crimes, one without ties to the military or government and with sufficient time and money to complete the job.
Abuse of Power; Are abuses by people in high office above the law, are people in the military and political elites not subject to the same laws as everyone else? The last time anyone said anything bad about an American general it was Benedict Arnold. Wearing the uniform does not mean that suddenly men stop being human and imperfect. The scientific breakthrough in anti-personnel weapons has conferred power on a few, power that was only imagined, the power of life and death, the power to track and kill anyone anywhere. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and the revolution in military affairs represented by electromagnetic weapons has been used against civilians who are powerless against this classified technology. The director of the NSA, general Keith B Alexander and Army intelligence director general Lacquement should immediately be dismissed, detained, and investigated for crimes against humanity. The elite military intelligence battalions under Army intelligence (INSCOM) should be subjected to intense scrutiny, oversight and outside control. It is equally likely that overwhelming military force may be the only sufficient answer to the problem at hand. If this is the case I recommend that the director of the NSA and Army intelligence both be detained and debriefed and that the elite army intelligence battalions they command be placed under outside military control. This could best be accomplished by the 101st and the 82nd airborne divisions. All the EM weapons in use should be confiscated and the weapons sites should be occupied such as the Operation Sanguine antennae array and all other suspect radars and antennae array sites. A truth and reconciliation commission should be appointed and public trials for those who refuse to cooperate. Five reforms are recommended to end the secret war as well as four goals or future initiatives to heal the damage done to our nation and the larger world. The world is facing more than the loss of a few thousand do-gooders, the future at stake and the freedom in jeopardy is your own. If this program is not ended I fear that our representative form of Democracy will not survive it. A nonviolent political movement using civil disobedience is presently the best course of action.
