MKULTRA: Government Mind Control Experiments, Part 8

The use of radio waves to control the brain is based rooted in the pioneering research of German psychiatrist Hans Berger, who measured the electronic beats or voltages of the brain in 1924. Over time, the CIA perfected techniques for using radio waves to hypnotize subjects and make suggestions to them. This is called Radio Hypnotic Intracerebral Control.( RHIC). This technique uses stimocevers and intermuscular implants. Suggestions are made, and the will is triggered. The technique was pioneered by t he military, but the oft-cited 350 page manual was produced by the CIA. It also has the ability to erase memory through the use of radio waves-- Electronic Dissolution of Memory (EDOM). In 1977, Senator Richard Schweiker of Pennsylvania questioned Sidney Gottlieb about these techniques. The scientist denied that they existed.

It is also known that emotional states, behavior, and physical well-being can be altered without electrodes by bombarding people with low frequency microwaves. The Soviets believed that this technique could be used for mind control and bombarded the Embassy in Moscow with microwaves over a long period of time. American scientists have been testing these ideas, and the Department of Energy has been measuring the effects of exposure to microwaves. There is but there is no solid evidence that the government is experimenting with microwaves for mind control purposes. However, a reasonable person might assume this is occurring and wonder where subjects for such experiments might be found.


In 1968 Dr. Gordon J.F. McDonald, presidential science advisor, explained to Lyndon Johnson how changes could be made in the earth’s ionosphere which would effect the way people thought and acted. This was at a time when student unrest was at a peak, and there had been in previous years very serious race riots.

Gunther Russbacher’s Comments

Captain Gunther Russbacher (ONI) was once the nation’s ranking Seal and was involved in many black operations. Later in life he started telling some of what he knew and landed in jail on trumpeted up charges. He provided what seems to be the most up-to-date discussion of the current uses of mind control.

He claimed that “Operation Open Eyes” was the effort to find subjects for mind control. It was important to find people who were intelligent and had few or no close relatives.

At levels one and two of hypnosis, the subject is given permanent “trigger” and “ recall” commands. The trigger will activate the subject when that person is about to be used. After the person is thoroughly checked out for possible vulnerabilities, he or she is recalled for further programming and for the future and some small orders to test for the effectiveness of the programming. After carrying out these tasks, the subject is often given a “handler” who will tell him where to report next. Sometimes, no handler is provided and a “trigger” is used. People were screened for levels of patriotism, and those with the highest levels were programmed with all sorts of “Patriotic nonsense.”

At level three, the person is given an “overwrite” of his personality and identity. The old personality and identity are suppressed for varying periods of time. It is similar to being given a multiple personality. The person is programmed to be free of nervousness and conscience. Sometimes this Level Three programming occurs many times. He learns he can do anything his “friends” or programmers say he can do and that he can break the laws of the land without fear or quams. A “recall service order” is installed and he is discharged.

The brightest subjects are given more programming and brought to “the farm,” one of the CIA’s extensive facilities, one of which is Doctors’ Hospital in Dallas. Level Four programming turned him into a “Clear Eyes,” one who thinks he is invincible, super human, and subject to no laws or morality. It takes two or three years to build a new person. The level three overwrite is removed via drugs inserted into the leg, often behind the knee and an entirely new person is created. Later catheters are inserted in the urinary tract, the digestive track, and the neck. Subjects are kept comatose for long periods as they are programmed. As these marks cannot be completely hidden, cover stories involving various accidents are created.

This person has no memory of a past life and is given a new identity with all the necessary papers, bank accounts, etc. Entirely new memories are built beginning in the ages of 9 to 12. He will also have a family history complete with photographs, good and bad memories, grudges, etc. But this family does not exist. However, should this person be arrested in some major crime, people are programmed to appear as his relatives.

Some of these people are inserted into politics and every other important facet of American society.

At level Five, a new and improved trigger is written into the person’s brain. Perhaps it is an intricate number. From there this Clear Eyes goes back into life and functions normally. They often read certain papers where triggers could be printed, such as New Age cults or Christian identity publications. Should he or she be called upon to commit a crime, he or she will not associate with the crime committed. Some are programmed to self-destruct.

He claimed that the people at Jonestown were programmed to at least level three but that something went wrong with the programming of a Clear Eyes at the airstrip when he opened fire on Congressman Leo Ryan and his party. He adds that Delta forces had to be inserted into the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco because seven sleepers had somehow been incorrectly activated and were building some sort of weapon of mass destruction.

Much has been written about Project Monarch, but he claims it was created specifically to sidetrack serious investigators. People were seized and damaged by it, but it was not intended for serious use.
