Nervous system manipulation by electromagnetic fields from monitors
2003-01-14, US Patent and Trademark Office Website
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?...&p=1&...

Many computer monitors and TV tubes, when displaying pulsed images, emit pulsed electromagnetic fields of sufficient amplitudes to cause such excitation. It is therefore possible to manipulate the nervous system of a subject by pulsing images displayed on a nearby computer monitor or TV set. For the latter, the image pulsing may be imbedded in the program material. The image displayed on a computer monitor may be pulsed effectively by a simple computer program. The implementations of the invention are adapted to the source of video stream that drives the monitor, be it a computer program, a TV broadcast, a video tape or a digital video disc (DVD). The program that causes a monitor to display a pulsing image may be run on a remote computer that is connected to the user computer by a link; the latter may partly belong to a network, which may be the Internet. A live TV broadcast can be arranged to have the feature imbedded simply by slightly pulsing the illumination of the scene that is being broadcast. This method can of course also be used in making movies and recording video tapes and DVDs. Certain monitors can emit ... pulses that are so weak as to be subliminal. This is unfortunate since it opens a way for mischievous application of the invention, whereby people are exposed unknowingly to manipulation of their nervous systems for someone else's purposes.

I don't know if anyone caught Hartmann's show yesterday. He has a segment on Adult attention-deficit disorder. Supposedly there has been soe studies done suggesting that TV could be a factor in this (not watching TV, just having a TV.)

The theory goes something like this:

Pregnant women who are in what they "feel" is a "non-safe" environment vs a "safe" environment produce a higher level of some hormone.

This hormone causes the baby's brain to develop differently. The more of this hormone that bigger the "reptile" portion of the brain grows. This makes the baby/child/human more aggressive and better prepared for a "dangerous" world ... but not necessarily best suited for a modern world where the dangers are not as immediate as one might have found 10s of thousands of years ago.

Where the TV comes in is when it is on, even if you're not actively watching it, the 30hrz "flicker" effects your brain in the same way movement in a jungle would, causing you to be a little more alert for danger, which also triggers pregnant women to produce more of the hormone.

So, this TV/Monitor theory is not without its supporting alternative research.

I caught that interview, also. There may very well be something to the EF thing: but even more directly, just the way ads, music video, "news" and drama are produced nowadays with rapid jump cuts that fire off an incredible amount of visual information may be, wittingly or unwittingly, conditioning us to have shorter attention spans. Look at how many times CNN will show the same :20 clip over and over during a particular story. Try to watch an old silent movie, and you will find yourself anxious for the movie "to get on with it."

I realized some time back that I must have some form of ADD. As was said in the interview, just knowing you process information and react differently than others, can help you modify behavior and focus. I've worked in the restaurant biz all my life, and I function very well in an extremely busy environment, where I'm multi-tasking all over the place. Lots of brief bursts of intense focus, one after another. Yet when I'm trying to straighten up my apartment, I find myself trying to do too many things at once. So I have to step back and re-focus.

Hartmann has a real bead on this. Re-thinking how we learn, and improving strategies for how we teach.

Agency's Strangeloves altered mind of a girl aged 4
2007-06-28, The Australian (Australia's national daily newspaper)
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...96-2703,00.html

Easily lost, on page 425, in the mass of the CIA's notorious "Family Jewels" files is a short paragraph outlining "potentially embarrassing Agency activities". "Experiments in influencing human behaviour through the administration of mind- or personality-altering drugs to unwitting subjects." Of all the heinous acts committed by the CIA in the name of national security, these experiments, done on the agency's behalf by prominent psychiatrists on innocent victims - including children as young as four - may be the darkest. "We have no answer to the moral issue," former director Richard Helms infamously said when asked about the nature of the projects. The release of the Family Jewels documents revealed the CIA handsomely funded these real-life Dr Strangeloves and engaged pharmaceutical companies to help its experiments. The agency appealed to Big Pharma to pass on any drugs that could not be marketed because of "unfavourable side effects" to be tested on mice and monkeys. Any drugs that passed muster would then be used ... on volunteer US soldiers. The Family Jewels files do not provide further detail into the numerous mind-control programs, such as MKULTRA, covertly propped up by the agency. In 1953, MKULTRA was given 6 per cent of the total CIA budget without any oversight. The nature of the experiments, gathered from government documents and testimony in numerous lawsuits brought against the CIA, is shocking, from testing LSD on children to implanting electrodes in victims' brains to deliberately poisoning people with uranium. "The CIA bought my services from my grandfather in 1952 starting at the tender age of four," wrote Carol Rutz of her experiences.

Note: The entire body of the CIA's "Family Jewels" documents have been posted online by the National Security Archives, and can be read by clicking here. And for a 10-page summary of Carol Rutz's riveting book on her experiences as a government-created Manchurian candidate, click here.

Excellent summary.

Well beyond just TV monitors, humans exist in a total electrosmog of electrical and magnetic signals (both low and high frequency) that they never have before in history. I mean just think about it: there's a total cacophony of fields caused by multiple bombardments of microwave signals from satellites, shortwave signals, FM and AM radio signals, TV, signals, power line hash, cell phone emissions, mobile phones, taxi cab radio, ham radio, military and police radio, spread spectrum, portable phones, wireless computer networks, magnetic induction fields from improper electrical wiring or grounding, numerous similar wireless and infrared communication devices, inductive RLC electromagnetic signals generated by florescent light ballasts, halogen lights, ionizing (and non-ionizing) smoke detectors, gas leak detectors, motors, switching power supplies, kitchen microwaves, halogen lights, switching power supplies (found in most computers), etc. etc., etc.....

Ayurvedic medicine and other wholistic practices have been used to treat some of the resulting symptoms which can include confusion, disorientation, hysteria, passivity, headache, dizziness, eye pain, loss of memory, suppressed emotional threshold, sleeplessness, irritability, anxiety, low blood pressure, allergic reactions, adrenal exhaustion, and even brain cancers. The risk of leukaemia in children doubles with elevated EMF exposure. In the case of microwave radiation, in addition to frictional heat or thermic effects that happen when you cook your food, there are also athermic effects, which also deform the structures of molecules and weaken cell membranes. If your microwave leaks at all, well, do the math.

Combine that with what the food, pesticide, & petrol-chemical industries pump into our bodies, and I don't really find it that shocking that so many of us are just randomly going off the beam, as it were.

A couple good books on the matter are "The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life," by Robert O. Becker, M.D., and Gary Selden (Wm. Morrow & Company), and another by Dr James C. Lin, "Electromagnetic Interaction With Biological Systems" (Plenum Press) who wrote this book while working as a Professor at the Department of Bioengineering, University of Illinois, and has published a number of books and articles on the subject.

Initially the wholistic treatments can be difficult, because a body which has been swimming in that electrical soup has become habituated to what amounts to a tilted boat. Having adjusted to the skew, such a tilt has become "normal" and expected, even addictive. When the boat rights itself, even though that's the proper state, the electrically adapted person still feels out of kilter for a time, until they settle back into the healthy norm their body should have been in.

Humans bodies generate a magnetic field. Every cell in our body contains magnetite.

Signals in the same frequency range can effect human moods. The mind operates on extremely low-frequency signals. When humans are actively thinking 14 cycles per second, if meditating 8 cycles per second, when asleep the mind is generating 4 cycles per second. As all meditation practitioners will testify to, by manipulating these cycles internally (through meditation) or externally (through things like these electrical devices), you can effect mood.

Now the DOD, goes one step further (of course) into researching whether they can actually control other people this way (since the 1950's, and which continues to this day) , because for them, it's all about maintaining their illusion that they are in control of well, everything, (irony being, they can't even control themselves).

How successful they've been is open to debate, largely because the general public isn't given access or oversight over their work.

We generally only hear about it years later, or after some whistleblower reveals some awful shit like the experiments of Dr. Cameron, working under the auspices of the CIA, which literally wiped the brains of unsuspecting victims who came to his office for ordinary treatments for routine depression or the like, and instead they got drugged and tortured with electroshock "therapy".

Personally, I think everyone connected to the DOD researching anything of the kind ought to be brought up on charges of Crimes Against Humanity and incarcerated until dead.

But that's just me. laugh.gif

I just wanted to add that while we've pretty well stated the problem here, there are some things you can do to remedy this.

Obviously reduced usage helps but you can also get testing devices like this:

http://healthequip-store.stores.yahoo.net/cellsensor.html

To see if things like your cell phone or other hot spots are giving off harmful electrical levels. Aluminum shielding is helpful too, so use appliances encased in aluminum whenever possible.

To shield from magnetic fields, galvanized steel is useful. You can get sheets of it at the hardware store. Two sheets with cork board in between are excellent for muting the effects of magnetic fields.

Along the same lines, I found this article interesting in so far as it discusses how the society that surrounds an individual may be the thing that's insane.

Those comfortably atop societal hierarchies have difficulty recognizing that many American institutions promote helplessness, passivity, boredom, fear, isolation, alienation and dehumanization for those not at the top.

One-size-fits-all schools, the corporate workplace, government bureaucracies and other giant, impersonal institutions routinely promote manipulative relationships rather than respectful ones, machine efficiency rather than human pride, authoritarian hierarchies rather than participatory democracy, disconnectedness rather than community, and helplessness rather than empowerment.

That pretty much sums it up.

If that kind of structure doesn't drive you crazy, then I would submit that you were crazier to begin with, than the guy who is driven crazy by that system.

INteresting that sixty years ago, this stuff was bugging the post-war generation - and it was bugging CHarlie Chaplin's generation before that. (see modern times.)

WE fell into scientific/mechanical management methods for business, and an onslaught of advertising in the '50's.

Now, a few gen's later, we don't get why we have deficient attentions.

Feed-Back to Idiocy

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/...,805686,00.html

QUOTE
".......One of the methods of cybernetics (the science of control mechanism) is to look for similarities between the human nervous system and the brighter man-made machines. One of these is the feedback: some means by which either the brain or a machine keeps track of what it has accomplished. Without proper feed-back apparatus a ship-steering mechanism, for instance, does not know how much it has succeeded in turning the ship. Therefore it cannot decide accurately when to stop turning. It is likely to send the ship into wild zigzags.

The brain works in much the same way. It needs to know continuously what an "effector," e.g., an arm or a leg, is doing. In certain nervous disorders it does not get this information. Then such a simple action as picking up a pencil becomes almost impossible. The patient's hand oscillates wildly like the rudder of a zigzagging ship.

Reports on Speech. Most human feedback systems are built into the nerves or into the brain itself, where they cannot easily be tinkered with. The feed-back of speech is more accessible. The brain normally keeps track of speech by means of reports, which it gets through the ears and by bone conduction, upon the pronunciation of each syllable. As each report arrives, the brain tells the vocal apparatus to go ahead and speak the next syllable. The whole thing happens so rapidly and smoothly that the speaker is rarely conscious of it.

Dr. Fairbanks' gadget, which consists chiefly of a microphone, a tape-recorder and a playback amplifier, delays the reports on their way to the brain. Normally a speaker hears each syllable about a thousandth of a second after he has spoken it. By adjusting his apparatus to introduce delay, Dr. Fairbanks can lengthen this interval as much as he wants to. He can also make the sounds from the amplifier so loud that they drown out the sounds that reach the brain through the normal channels.

Agonized Frustration. When his "victim" first starts talking into the microphone, Dr. Fairbanks sets the time interval just like the normal one. The speaker is rather surprised to hear his own words so loudly and clearly. Then Dr. Fairbanks gradually lengthens the time interval until the speaker hears each syllable one-twenty-fifth of a second later than is normal. The result: the speaker is slowly driven toward the gibbering stage. His words won't come; he stammers, repeats, screams in agonized frustration. His face turns red; he sweats and trembles, showing many of the symptoms of emotional disorder. After the test is over, the victim quickly recovers.

The upset is caused by interruption of the normally smooth speaking process. The subject's brain expects to hear each syllable just after it is pronounced. When it hears the preceding syllable instead, it becomes confused. The brain begins to oscillate (like the zigzagging ship), and the shock echoes through the entire nervous system......"

I'm torn by this thread. I want to debunk the complete and utter B.S. of this thread, but to do so I'd have to go down into the basement and root around in dozens of boxes in order to find my old T.V. repair text books from my Electronics Service Technician course.
