The Holosonics technology — which makes a narrow sound beam from a diminutive source — broadcasts sound that can be heard by one person but not people nearby. Joe Pompei, who founded Holosonics, says that ultrasound technology was originally designed to cut down on noise pollution by reducing the number of people who hear a noise. It does to sound what a flashlight does to light: directs it in a narrow fashion. Nevertheless it creates the illusion of the disembodied voices familiar to schizophrenics. It is showmanship, but it portends more troubling machines.http:// www.strangemag.com/braveworldmindcontrol.html

The overall mission of the research is to find ways to read brain signals in order to decipher a person's thoughts.

The Army has granted $4 million to scientists at the University of Maryland, Carnegie Mellon University and the University of California at Irvine, who are all collaborating on the project. Michael D'Zmura, Professor and Chair of the Department of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California at Irvine, is working with a team including Gregory Hickok, Ramesh Srinivasan, and Kourosh Saberi, all cognitive science professors at UCI. The grant comes under the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative program of the U.S. Department of Defense.http:// www.strangemag.com/braveworldmindcontrol.html

The Organized Stalking and Electronic Harassment website is a center of TI (targeted individual) communication, and there are other such sites in many countries. Its main pages, at http:// www.raven1.net and http:// www.raven1.net/restofsite.shtml, cover many aspects of "Organized Stalking and Electronic Harassment" (OS/EH). Supervised by Eleanor White, the site uses the term OS/EH in preference of the more limited "mind control" and refers to it as the "near perfect crime."
