In a series of closed meetings beginning March 17 in suburban
Northern Virginia with
Dr. Igor Smirnov of the Moscow medical academy, FBI officials
were briefed on the Russian's decade-long research on a computerized
acoustic device allegedly capable of planting thoughts in a person's
mind without that person being aware of the source of the thought.
"It was suggested to us (by other federal officials) that they bring in the FBI, which was looking for a viable option to deal with Koresh," said a source who participated in the Smirnov meetings who agreed to discuss the gatherings only on condition of anonymity.
His account of the meetings was confirmed by an executive
summary memorandum prepared by officials of Psychotechnologies
Corp., a Richmond, Virginia based firm that owns the American
rights to the Russian technology. A copy of the Psychotechnologies
summary, which has been circulated among U.S. intelligence
executives, was obtained by defense electronics.
After several meetings with Smirnov, FBI officials, who repeatedly
expressed fears during the discussions that Koresh and his followers
were suicidal, asked for a proposal describing requirements and
procedures for using the device in Waco, he said.
"They wanted the Russians to promise zero risk in using the
device on Koresh, but the Russians wouldn't do that," the
participant said. Another obstacle was the fact Smirnov had
only brought "entry-level equipment" and more sophisticated
hardware would have had to be rushed over from Russia before the
device could be used in an attempt to end the standoff in Texas.
As a result, Koresh and his band were not used as test subjects
for a demonstration of a technology developed under the former
Soviet Union and apparently used against civilians in Afghanistan,
which is why the U.S. defense and intelligence communities were
well-represented in the March meetings in Virginia.
"There was a strong interest among the intelligence agencies
because they had been tracking Smirnov for years," the
participant said, "and because we know there is evidence the
Soviet army's special forces used the technology during the
conflict in Afghanistan."
Alcohol and drug abuse among Red Army soldiers was so pervasive
during the Afghan war that soviet officials relied upon the
technology in preparing troops for missions involving atrocities
against civilians.
Officials from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the Advance Research Projects
Agency (ARPA) were also present, according to the source.
Dr. Nakamura could not be reached for comment, but he was
described in the Psychotechnologies memo as being "familiar with
U.S. patents" in the area and that "the Russians seemed to have
solved" mathematical problems "which had prevented development of
U.S. work beyond basic stages."
The Psychotechnologies memo described an agreement company
officials entered into with Smirnov in March in which "the
Russian side agreed to commit the psycho-correction technologies
still in Russia and all related know-how to the U.S. company in
exchange for stock. [the truly psychopathic
natures and short-sightedness of these types of shit for brains
individuals frankly never ceases to amaze us -- yet further proof,
we s'pose, that life is a theatre of the absurd which we accept
as reality -B:.B:.]
The Russian side has agreed to provide all support necessary to
recreate current (psycho-correction) capability in the U.S. and
to upgrade the capability using U.S. components and computer
programmers. All necessary developmental and existing algorithms
will be provided by the Russian side."
Excerpt from:
Flatland #11
"The name, Flatland, comes in part from a book of the same name
by Edwin Abbott, published maybe a century ago. He describes a
world where two-dimensional characters like 'A. Square,' inhabit
a single plane of reality. Suddenly a three-dimensional sphere
intersects their plane. To the 2-D characters, the sphere looks
like a circle that keeps getting bigger and then smaller. They
have no perspective with which to comprehend the new phenomena,
they are alarmed and confused."
Non-military participants were also included in the Smirnov
meetings in Virginia as well as a series of subsequent briefings
by the two Russians at the University of Kansas Medical Center
in Topeka. The non-military attendees included Dr. Richard
Nakamura of the National Institute of Mental Health and
Dr. Christopher "Kit" Green,
director of General Motors Corp. Biomedical Research Department
in Detroit. [In regards to General Motors'
... uh ... "biomedical research" dept., we at the Lodge were quite
pleased to learn that our Illuminated Brethren at G:.M:.
are kind and thoughtful enough to keep an ex-CIA scientist /
medical doctor on staff in case any of their automobiles get
sick. -B:.B:.]
Dr. Green said through a GM spokesman that he attended the
Smirnov briefings in his capacity as a member of a National
Academy of Sciences (NAS) panel on 21st century army technologies.
"This has no connection to anything being done by GM," the spokesman
said.
