M/R: Both Dr. ~ and Dr. have indicated considerable interest
persuing issues and lines of inquiry concerning the Soviet Threat which
were raised during the studies of the 0 signal. Of chief interest is .
the-question of a multi-disciplinary medical/behavioral threat depicted against
SIGINT site/communications personnel. Both are familiar with the
Threat and medical studies to some extent, and believe as I-d9 that these
some kinds of,questions need to be asked periodically about suitable environments.
All of us are familiar with the DIA Controlled Offensive Behavior Study
of the Army Surgeon General Medical Intelligence Office dated 1972. Highlighted
in this work were various efforts at Soviet behavioral control involving' drugs,
physical abuse, electrical methods, and parapsychological and' psychological
methods of behavioral control or personality destruction. In-his study of KGB
training and the mentality of the KGB officer, Dr. 0 found a considerably
and unexpected emphasis on parapsychology. (During his 1975 interrogation of
experiments aimed at developing paranordal abilities.) Khokbiov in )is?BBC film
appearance about Georgi Markov worried about increased KGB and Bloc Secret Services'
aggressiveness against the West. Greatly increased Soviet Bloc intelligence
activity has been noted in the U.S. particularly since 1975. Soviet interactions
with the Jonestown group left many questions related to the range, diversity,
and aggressiveness of Bloc intelligence to destabilize and disorient Western
Society and specific targets.
Recent studies referred to by Dr. W. Ross Adey of the Veterans Administration
Hospital in Loma Linda California, call into question again, the effect of low
levels of specific kinds of microwave radiation. Frequencies. used by the
military radars have been shown to cause changes to brain chemistry. (It-causes
the release of a large amount of calcium ions which affects brain signal
transmissions.)
As Dre has a number of sites under his cognisance, he decided,
in view of the considerations, that it might be an opportune moment to take
another look. ? ?
Mr. I I and Mre
