Police Tapped Sprint Customer GPS Data 8 Million Times In A Year

TPM Muckraker

Justin Elliott | December 4, 2009, 6:03PM

Under a new system set up by Sprint, law enforcement agencies have gotten GPS data from the company about its wireless customers 8 million times in about a year, raising a host of questions about consumer privacy, transparency, and oversight of how police obtain location data.

What this means — and what many wireless customers no doubt do not realize — is that with a few keystrokes, police can determine in real time the location of a cell phone user through automated systems set up by the phone companies.

And while a Sprint spokesman told us customers can shield themselves from surveillance by simply switching off the GPS function of their phones, one expert told TPM that the company and other carriers almost certainly have the power to remotely switch the function back on.

To be clear, you can think of there being two types of GPS (global positioning system). One is the handy software on your mobile device that tells you where you are and helps give driving directions. But there’s also GPS capability in all cell phones sold today, required by a federal regulation so if you dial 911 from an unknown location, authorities can find you.

Sprint says the 8 million requests represent “thousands” of individual customers — it won’t say how many exactly — and that the company follows the law. It’s not clear, however, if warrants are always needed, or whether they have been obtained by police for all the cases.

We know the 8 million number thanks to an Indiana University graduate student named Christopher Soghoian, who has made headlines before for investigations of privacy and tech issues.

I’m a self admitted GPS nut and certifyable map-aholic, and I hate to admit how may GPS units I own, for my motorcycle (BMW R1200RT), road bike, mountain bike, kayak… not to speak of iPhone GPS apps…

In short, I’ve never met a GPS I didn’t like. (With the possible exception of a homicidal rental Volvo S80 dashboard unit, which, along with being directionally challenged in general, frequently insisted to “turn right”, “Turn right NOW!” when we were driving through Tuscan landscape with cliffs on the right side of the car, but that’s another story…)

And since I live on the East Coast, finding scenic and rural motorcycle routes is not so easy, and especially for shorter routes from my hometown in Atlantic Highlands, it pays to do some research and planning, since I like avoiding populated areas, low flying jets on final approach, and NJ scenic features like Heating Oil Storage Towers, Refineries and the odd Co-Generation Power Plant.

This means I seldom use a GPS unit to plan a route, since it auto-calculates the quickest route. Instead I plan a route on the computer, checking out the google maps or google earth satellite images in detail to see how I can plan riding through farmland, avoid crowded areas and highways.

Since I’m an (ex) photographer, I have also started to geotag the images I take along the route, and I have come across some utilities that help me post and share both the trips and photographs afterwards.

I thought I’d share some of my favorite tools to help me do this:

MapToGPX

In google maps I can modify a route easily to suite me by dragging it onto the roads I’d like to travel… However, the problem has been that once I have a suitable route, there is no good way to get a google map route converted and downloaded to my (Garmin Zumo) GPS.  Well, now there is a fantastic tool that does just that: MaptoGPX.
Here an excerpt from their site, as well as another useful link to the GPS Visualizer site:

The Google Maps API is great, but it doesn’t have an easy way to export data in GPX format. This bookmarklet is my attempt at a hack to get information out of Google Maps and into GPX, suitable for loading on a GPS.

This bookmarklet can create a GPX file based on driving directions, an address search or a local search. The GPX file will contain a route, a single waypoint, or up to ten waypoints, respectively. The code for extracting waypoints from local search originally came from this page.

I’ve recorded a short screencast to illustrate:

GPS Visualizer

If you’re looking for a utility to display GPX files in Google Maps, or in a variety of other formats, I recommend GPS Visualizer.

BikeRouteToaster.com is a course creation application primarily aimed at Garmin Edge/Forerunner owners although other users without a GPS may also find it useful for planning rides. It is meant for bicycle rides, but can just as easily be used to plan Motorcycle routes. Courses are created using Google maps and then downloaded from the server. Go to the Course Creator and start creating courses. For more information on specific features please see the Help page.

EveryTrail

Everytrail.com is this really cool site allows you to upload GPS routes and pictures taken along those routes. If the images are “Geotagged”, then Everytrail can put together a nice slide show to display images along the route, and the “significant others” can follow along… I find it’s a really ice way to share a motorcycling adventure, or a hike for that matter. Click here for an example of my Port Jervis trip as displayed on Everytrail.

HoudahGeo

If you take pictures with your iPhone, then your photos are already “geotagged” and contain the location information to easily be displayed on maps. But if you own an older or high end DSLR camera, then the images you take do not have location information embedded. HoudahGeo is a utility that automatically”geotags” your images, based on the images time stamp being matched with a track file uploaded from your GPS. I use a Garmin Zumo GPS when riding, and when I return home simply copy the track file from the Zumo to HoudahGeo, drag my pictures to the HoudahGeo app and the images are then automatically tracked. (I’m on a Mac, for those on PCs, check out RoboGeo)

According to an article in Computerworld,  your gps enabled phone could be used against you if the police have an interest in where you are going.  It looks like big brother could be watching you.

Computerworld – Sprint Nextel is downplaying a controversial blog report that it provided customer GPS location data to law enforcement authorities more than eight million times between September 2008 and October 2009.

In a statement Tuesday, the company called the figure a gross misrepresentation and said it doesn’t represent the actual number of customers whose location information was provided — nor does it represent the number of times law enforcement contacted Sprint directly seeking data. Instead, the number represents automated individual requests, or “pings,” by authorities for specific location information needed for investigations over the 13-month period. Typically, a single investigation could generate thousands of individual requests to the network by law enforcement officials trying to track or locate a person over several days or weeks. That means the eight million automated requests were probably generated by thousands of customer searches — not millions, Sprint said.

Sprint’s comments followed a blog report published earlier this week by Christopher Soghoian, a security researcher who attended a recent closed-door conference on electronic surveillance technologies and practices.

During a panel discussion at the conference, Paul Taylor, Sprint’s manager of electronic surveillance, talked about the sizable number of requests for customer GPS data after Sprint rolled-out a new Web portal for automating such requests.

I am conservative and generally favorable toward law enforcement.  However, I also believe that people have a right to have their information secure against unwarranted intrusion by the state and at this time their appears to be no standard of what level of reasonble cause if any has to be reached for law enforcement agencies to request information from your gps enabled phone.

In an audio clip of Taylor’s comments posted on Soghoian’s blog and now mirrored elsewhere, the Sprint executive is heard expressing concern about the volume of requests that came in after the Web interface went live. “There is no way on earth my team could have handled eight million requests from law enforcement, just for GPS alone” without the portal, Taylor said. “So the tool has just really caught on fire with law enforcement.

“When it comes to law enforcement access to location information, it really is the Wild West,” said Gregory Nojeim, senior counsel for the Center for Democracy and Technolgy (CDT) a Washington-based think tank. “There are no statutory standards that tell authorities how much evidence they need to have before they can track a cell phone user’s location,” Nojeim said.

That has put carriers in a tough spot because they are not sure what to require from law enforcement authorities seeking such information, he said.

“In our view, there has to be a court order. The issue is under what standard should the order be issued?” Nojeim said. “You could have a court order based on a very low reasonable cause standard or a court order based on probable cause which is a very high standard,” Nojeim said, adding that the CDT supports the latter for location-based tracking.

John Verdi, senior counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) in Washington said the number of law enforcement requests made to Sprint — and almost certainly to other carriers — is a reminder of the need for good accountability procedures for electronic surveillance.

If you carry a GPS enabled phone, you can be tracked  and that information can be turned over to law enforcement.    This issue needs to be addressed.  I can see it leading to real infringement on the rights of private citizens.  In addition, information like this could lead to court legal challenges that could lead to overturning convictions because of the way the information was acquired.

The complaints are coming mostly from journalists and political activists, however, they all ring of the same problem: some twenty percent of cell phone calls are met with the receiver hearing his or her own voice coming back in an echo. And its a new phenomenon. The caller can hear the person called repeating “Hello” over and over again but the receiver can only hearing his or her own voice being pinged back.

The “echoing” is not limited to particular cell phone service providers or cell phone types. Customers of AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are reporting the same problem with phones from Nokia, Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, and Ericsson.

Technicians report that echoes occur when there is not a complete connection or if there is a third party connection on the call. While echoing has been a minor problem in the past, the frequency of complaints is increasing and affecting journalists and political activists from Washington, DC to New York City and California to Texas.

Government agencies are already able to remotely activate a cell phone and use the microphone to listen in on conversations. The only way to prevent this surveillance is to agree to “batteries out” conversations, something that is employed more and more among journalists while talking to sources as well as others concerned about high-tech snooping from “roving bugs.” Similarly, removing the battery from a cell phone also disables the Global Positioning System and cell tower triangulation capabilities used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies to track the location of the user, according to U.S. intelligence sources.

WMR has learned that the Bush administration, in its final months in office, has made several strategic and tactical moves to ensure that the wireless industry comes into full compliance with government eavesdropping policies and technical compliance with them. The echoing of cell phone calls appears to coincide with these Bush administration moves and is an indication that the policy has been given priority over the technology.

GPS atau nama panjangnya Global Positioning System adalah alat navigasi yang berfungsi sebagai pemandu jalur dan pelacak lokasi yang dapat dipasang pada kendaraan atau bahkan pada motor. Sistem ini menggunakan satelit yang mengirimkan sinyal gelombang mikro ke Bumi. Sinyal ini diterima oleh alat penerima di permukaan, dan digunakan untuk menentukan posisi, kecepatan, arah, dan waktu. Demikian kata Wikipedia.

Ponsel alias handphone atau gadget terkini yang bisa diinstal aplikasi GPS pun dapat digunakan sebagai pemandu arah di motor, namun bila Anda menginginkan GPS yang lengkap seluruh dunia plus murah meriah, ditambah lagi tanpa baterai, ini solusinya…

Ten to fifteen years ago, GPS was pretty much an unknown to the public.  Now GPS technology is used in cars for directions, cell phones to find the closest café and in the criminal justice system. 

It is more common today to see GPS monitoring as part of a person’s criminal disposition.  Many times attorneys will use it as a last bargaining chip to keep their clients out of committed time.  This post is not to consider the pros and cons of the GPS monitoring, but to dissect what the GPS is really all about. 

If you are pleading out to a charge that requires you to be monitored by GPS what does that really mean?  Well first, the purpose of the GPS is to track and monitor the movements of the probationer.  The GPS itself operates on inclusion and exclusion zones. 

The person being monitored has to wear a transmitter that will allow the person to be seen wherever he or she goes.  The person who is wearing the transmitter must also carry a phone with them all the time.  If the person walks into or near an exclusionary zone, he or she will receive a phone call to leave right away.  If the person doesn’t leave after the phone call warning or doesn’t pick up the phone, the police will be called. 

The length of time that a person is to be monitored is to be decided by the judge.  The cost of this device is $9.45 a day or around $300 a month.  This fee can be waived by the judge.  The inclusion and exclusion zones are also usually decided by the judge.  For example, the usual exclusionary zones for sex offenders are playgrounds, schools and daycare centers.  The exclusionary zones can also be more tailored to the particular case, such as the victim’s home, work or school. 

Some things to keep in mind are that the GPS monitoring is mandatory for most sex offenses.  In order to get on a GPS there needs to be a unit available and a time to hook the person up.  The hook-ups are scheduled through the Commissioner of Probation (OCP).  If a person is custody and the judge won’t release them until they have a GPS, it may take a little while to find an available unit and to schedule a day for OCP to come hook up the unit. 

 GPS monitoring is becoming more common in Massachusetts and in different states.  The process that I have discussed in this post is not a universal procedure.  It is important for you to find out the protocol in the county that will be doing the monitoring.

Twitter plans to unveil a “geolocation” feature that will make the flood of tweets on a particular subject more relevant. Twitter will employ GPS on cellphones to allow users to include a precise location with each tweet. “Proximity can be this proxy for relevance.” (Iwantmedia11/9, NYT11/9)

The LEDs that are transforming vehicle lighting are expanding into a new area: bus advertising. Lighted displays installed on buses can change messages often, even linking to GPS systems to pinpoint ads as buses travel into different neighborhoods.

As an Eagle Scout, I’ve always been a proponent of being prepared, and having a backup plan.  Ever since we demonstrated the ASAT program back in the 80’s, we’ve known that satellites were easy to shoot down.  Now there are emerging technologies that make that task even easier and cheaper.  There are LASERs and killer satellites only to name a few.  And we can’t forget the fact Mother Nature (an employee of God) can wipe out or interfere with satellites with sun spots or other natural phenomena.

So, if you put all of your navigational hopes on Global Positioning System, and the Chinese or somebody else knocks down a couple of satellites or they are knocked off line by solar activity, you have a bad situation.  At best, planes are grounded, and lots of people on the ground have to stop and ask for directions.  At worst, airborne aircraft lose all ability to navigate while in the weather and lives are lost from the resulting crashes, the military can’t employ many of its “smart” weapons, and aviation is crippled.

Maybe I’m crazy, or maybe I’m dumb like a fox.  But it seems to me that having a backup air navigation system would be a good idea.

Congress calls for study of GPS backup

By Sarah Brown

As VORs are being decommissioned and with loran-C on the chopping block, pilots are relying more on satellite-based technology for navigation—but what will happen if there is a GPS outage? The House of Representatives is calling for the Coast Guard and Department of Transportation to study whether there is a continued need for a backup navigation system to GPS.

The House voted Oct. 23 to authorize Coast Guard programs for the current fiscal year. The bill included an amendment to require a study on whether a backup for GPS is needed and an investigation of the capabilities of available backup technologies such as long-range navigation (loran).

Rep. Frank A. LoBiondo (R-N.J.), ranking member of the Coast Guard and maritime transportation subcommittee of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, introduced the amendment with Rep. Mike Michaud (D-Maine).

“In many regions around the country, the GPS can be found unreliable,” LoBiondo said as he proposed the amendment. “… Our amendment would simply require the two departments to study the issue of whether a backup to the GPS is needed for safe navigation and report the findings to Congress.”

The amendment would require the Coast Guard and Department of Transportation to “analyze the impact of the termination of a supplemental system may have on maritime and aviation safety, including general aviation.” Loran is a potential ground-based backup system to GPS. A previous study commissioned by the Department of Transportation already has recommended that the government complete its upgrade to enhanced loran (eLoran) so that the upgraded system can serve as a backup.

The Coast Guard currently maintains loran-C, but the conference report for this year’s Homeland Security appropriations bill allows decommissioning loran-C if the Coast Guard determines it is not needed as a backup to GPS. The House passed the conference report Oct. 15.

GHETTO INFORMANT PROGRAM & OAKLAND’S BLACK MANCHURIAN CANDIDATES

In 1967, as part of the overall effort of COINTELPRO, the FBI developed a network and list of some 4,000 Black collaborators, assembled from what had previously been codenamed the TOPLEV (“Top Level” Black Community Leadership Program) to inform, disrupt, and aid in obliterating the Black Nationalist and Civil Rights Movement in America. The FBI’s BLACPRO (“Black Program”) called the “Ghetto Informant Program” was the list of its over 7,000 new collaborator recruits. [1]

From these networks, I suspect that individuals were carefully selected from the list of new collaborators by other governmental agencies such as the CIA’s OPERATION CHAOS which also began in 1967[2] for top secret classified MK ULTRA projects, then by stealth and deceit mercilessly turned them into guinea pigs. They became experimental subjects of some of the most far reaching technologies of the Twentieth Century such as Tesla technologies. 

Former U.S. Air Force Sergeant Sebron Flenaugh, Jr. and his brother Ronnie’s timetable to becoming Black Manchurian Candidates also began in 1967 with the inception of “Ghetto Informant Program” and OPERATION CHAOS.

In 1967, Sebron and his brother Ronnie were culled for trauma based mind control classified programs. In 1967, Ronnie most likely balked. He said that he didn’t want to commit treason.  He tried to get out, but he knew too much and got in too far to withdraw. He was abducted from the streets of Berkeley and poisoned with MK-ULTRA hallucinogen drugs and driven insane. According to Sebron’s wife, his mental state also began to deteriorate in 1967 at the time that Ronnie was abducted. In 1969, he had disappeared into Alaska. Just prior to Ronnie’s assassination in November of 1971, he had also disappeared into Alaska with his brother, the site of UCLA’S High Power Auroral Stimulation Observatory (HIPAS), and the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (H.A.A.R.P)  

GEORGE H. W. BUSH & THE THIRD REICH 1000-YEAR MASTER PLAN

Sebron Flenaugh Jr.’s deadly spree was politically opportune. It occurred just after the close June 1988 California presidential primary race of former CIA director and Vice President of the United States, George Herbert Walker Bush. The senseless slaughter and maiming of innocent white people by a deranged out of control Blackman had sensational political ramifications that at least indirectly furthered and aided the Republican Party’s “Law and Order” platform and agenda of fear mongering, and propelled Bush as a strong-arm fascist president into the Whitehouse.

On his deathbed in 1999, Adolf Hitler’s personal Commando Strumbannfuhrer SS Otto Skorzeny had some very interesting and chilling things to say about George Herbert Walker (GHW) Bush and the Nazi’s Secret Master Plan.  

Before the end of WWII, Hitler, Himmler and the SS Master Plan devised a series of historical events that, on the surface, would appear to be everyday, happenstance occurrences (natural disasters, man-made diseases, acts of murder, assassinations, terror, manipulation of money and energy supplies, contamination of foods, pollution of natural resources, and war). Through timing of these events, patience, careful planning, and cooperation from others in positions of trust, stealth and deceit, they would acquire power over the United States and world through fear mongering, population mind control, deception, concealment, selected assassinations of national and world leaders, and war. 

According to Skorzeny, as part of the master plan, he and GHW Bush were instrumental in merging Nazi (SS) intelligence with the Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) to form the CIA with “Wild Bill” Donovan and Allen Dulles. He said that GHW Bush was actually a Nazi SS agent and spy implanted in the United States as the son of Prescott Sheldon Bush. George H. Scherff, Jr., became the 41st President of the United States as GHW Bush and George H. Scherff, Sr. from Nazi’s Germany Master Plan, was Nickola Tesla’s “trusted assistant. [3]

Furthermore, he said that Prescott Sheldon (PS) Bush was a double agent who worked primarily on behalf of the Nazi SS apparatus that controlled the German Central banks who, in turn, controlled their counterparts on Wall Street and in London. PS Bush AKA George H. Scherff, Sr. stole Nikola Tesla’s technology and, “robbed Tesla blind.” Skorzeny said that it was Reinhard Gehlen and himself who murdered Nikola Tesla on January 6, 1943 by strangulation/suffocation. [4] They stole his blueprints, plans and records and delivered them to Hitler and the SS. [5] Thereafter, Tesla Technologies became part and parcel of the SS (Knights of the Black Sun) Master Plan for World Domination.

NICKOLA TESLA & THE ORIGINS OF HAARP

The earth’s atmosphere is divided into three major sections, the troposphere (sea level), the stratosphere, and the ionosphere. For over 50 years, the U.S. military have been studying ways to understand and control the upper atmosphere as a military intelligence strategic plan. These strategic defense initiative research projects involving the sky are commonly referred to as Star War Technologies.

HAARP is an ionosphere heater system based on the research of Nikola Tesla. Tesla is a name not commonly found in history books, but Tesla’s name resonates throughout the U.S. government, and its interest in developing technologies not only to control global weather systems, but mind control vast populations anywhere on the globe.

Tesla technologies involve the manipulation of invisible universal electromagnetic forces. Tesla technologies resonate throughout the military industrial complex in developing non-lethal weapons, and Star War Technologies.  

Tesla symposiums and conferences are quietly held throughout the world. The meetings are highly technical, secretive, and highly classified. Tesla technologies also have very broad implication involving earthquake contrivances, world radar, particle beam weapons, and brain wave manipulation. Tesla technologies have the potential of destroying Planet Earth.

“HAARP will not burn ‘holes’ in the ionosphere. That is a dangerous understatement of what HAARP’s giant gigawatt beam will do. Earth is spinning relative to thin electric shells of the multilayer membrane of ‘ionospheres’ that absorb and shield Earth’s surface from intense solar radiation, including charged particle storms in solar winds erupting from the sun. Earth’s axial spin means that HAARP-in a burst lasting more than a few minutes-will slice through the ionosphere like a microwave knife. This produces not a ‘hole’, but a long tear-an incision.” [6] 

Tesla was of Serbian descent, born in the Yugoslavian village of Smiljan. Tesla attended the Technical University at Graz, Austria, and the University of Prague. 

In 1882, Tesla was employed with Continental Edison in Paris, France. In the 1880’s, Thomas Alva Edison developed electrical power systems based on direct current (DC) technologies.

In 1884, Tesla migrated to New York. He continued his employment with Edison’s organization. Tesla was an electrical engineering genius, and inventor. Tesla and Edison became fierce competitors. 

In about 1886, Tesla opened his own laboratory in New York. Tesla invented and perfected the alternating current (AC) electrical system. Tesla acquired 45 U.S. patents in electrical alternating currents. Tesla invented the incandescent bulb, which Edison took full credit for.

In the 1880s and 1890s, Tesla worked with radio-frequency electromagnetic waves. Despite the claims made by Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937), it was actually Tesla who did much of the most basic pioneering work in radio frequency technology. [7]

In 1885, George Westinghouse, head of Westinghouse Electric Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, bought the patent rights to Tesla’s polyphase system of alternating current dynamos, transformers, and motors. By the turn of the century, the State of New York electrical power system was based on Tesla’s AC inventions. General Electric was formed by Edison to lease the rights to use the AC patents that Tesla-Westinghouse held to light up the world. [8]

Tesla’s research lab was located on the grounds of Wardenclyffe on Long Island, now called Shoreham. On Wardenclyffe, Tesla constructed a 180-foot high-power radio frequency transmitter and antenna. He claimed that he could transmit energy waves, and messages to any point on the globe.

Some believe that “The Tunguska Event”, the June 30, 1908 massive explosion in Siberia was the result of Tesla testing the power of his high-power radio frequency transmitter. The force of the blast at Tunguska has been estimated to have been equivalent to 10-15 megatons of TNT. The blast flattened 500,000 acres of pine forest, and was heard over a radius of 620 miles.

Nevertheless, Tesla touted the destructive power of electromagnetic warfare.  On April 21, 1908, days before the great Tunguska Event, Tesla wrote a letter to the N.Y. Times, which stated: When I spoke of future warfare I meant that it should be conducted by direct application of electrical waves without the use of aerial engines or other implements of destruction…This is not a dream. Even now wireless power plants could be constructed by which any region of the globe might be rendered uninhabitable without subjecting the population of other parts to serious danger or inconvenience. [9]  

In 1934, Tesla announced that he would create a space shield around the United States to protect it from enemy missiles, rockets, and planes. Tesla also claimed that he would zap enemy missiles, rockets, and planes from the sky with a “death beam”. [10] 

On September 20, 1940, Tesla announced that he was ready to divulge the secret of his “Teleforce” and “Death Ray”, and his invisible “Chinese Wall of Defense” to protect the United States. [11]

Sava Kosanovich was a distant nephew of Tesla, who he allegedly detested. On the day of this death, Kosanovich, a man associated with RCA, a writer for the magazine Popular Mechanics, and a locksmith gained entry to Tesla’s room. They broke into Tesla’s safe, and the cover story is that they instead of the Nazis removed Tesla’s research papers and materials involving the “death ray”, and the “wireless transmission of electrical current”. [12]

The FBI discovered that Kosanovich was a Yugoslavian Minister of State representing the government in exile. In 1941, Nazi Germany and the Axis Powers invaded and occupied Yugoslavia.  The FBI believed that Tesla might have been working on secret experiments for the Yugoslavian government in exile. [13]

During WWII, Tesla wrote a letter to the U.S. Congress that he had an invention, a particle beam weapon, which could end the war, but they essential disregarded him and his claims. The Yugoslavian government in exile was very much interested in Tesla’s invention to defeat the Nazis and end the war and occupation of Yugoslavia. But before Tesla would spare that invention with them, the Knights of the Black Sun killed him and stole the blueprints.

 On January 7, 1943, Tesla was dead and penniless in a cheap hotel in New York City. Tesla’s possessions were literally seized by the government, J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI. Allegedly, Tesla’s possessions included trunks which held his papers were turned over to U.S. Custodian of Alien Property for safekeeping. 

On January 9, 1943, federal alien control agents went to the hotel and seized all the remaining property of Tesla, consisting of about two truckloads of materials. They sealed all articles and transferred them to the Manhattan Storage and Warehouse Co., New York. [14]

The FBI notified the Department of Justice, Offices of Vice-President Wallace, Office of Scientific Research, and Military Intelligence Division about the seizure of the equipment, experiments, and research of Nikola Tesla. [15] 

The belief persists that the FBI and U.S. Government still possess and secret valuable working papers of Nikola Tesla. [16] It is also generally believed that the Soviet Union’s interest in Tesla’s “Death Ray” and “Wireless Transmission of Electrical Current”, and Tesla’s research ideals intensified after the U.S. dropped two atomic bombs on Japan in 1945. 

The Soviets took Tesla’s research and electromagnetic radiation (EMR) seriously, while the U.S. toyed with Tesla’s ideas as the”mad scientist” science fiction ramblings until the end of WWII when the Knights of the Black Sun used Tesla Technologies as another bargaining chip with Allies Forces. Tesla’s possessions were eventually inherited by his nephew, Kosanovich, and housed at the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, Yugoslavia.

Tesla Magnifying Transmitter (TMT): THE MOSCOW SIGNAL

In 1952, Soviet scientists held a series of secret meetings in collaboration with scientist representing the United States at the Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico. These meetings dealt with the Soviet proposal to exchange information regarding the biological hazards and safety of electromagnetic radiation. The Soviets were well ahead of the U.S. in EMR (electrical magnetic radiation) research and development. The Soviets may have sponsored the meetings with the US to covertly access their knowledge of EMR.

Due to their ignorance of the subject, the U.S. scientist downplayed the significance of EMR and its hazards, and that played right into the hands of the Soviets. Shortly after the meeting, the Soviets began directing microwave beams, called the “Moscow signal”, at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. 

In 1962, the CIA discovered the Moscow signal bombarding the U.S. Embassy. The CIA bought in an outside consultant, Dr. Milton Zaret, and code-named the investigation “Project Pandora”. Dr. Zaret found the Moscow signal was composed of several different frequencies, which was directed straight at the Ambassador’s office. The Moscow signal remained secret for a decade.

Monkeys were brought into the embassy and exposed to the Moscow signal. The monkeys developed blood composition anomalies and unusual chromosome counts. Embassy personnel were not informed of the Moscow signal or its harmful effects until about 1972. [17]

Stoltita, a major Soviet newspaper, reported that Victor Sedletsky, a scientist from Kiev, claimed that the practical testing of “new kind[s] of weapons based on the impact of certain frequencies on the human body” occurred back in 1965. [18]

The U.S. government began to examine the affects of the Moscow signal. The job was turned over to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). DARPA is now developing electromagnetic weaponry. The man in charge of the DARPA program, Dr. Jack Verona was alleged to be so important and so secretive that he didn’t even return President GHW Bush’s telephone calls. [19]

DR. Jack Verona, The Raven, was listed as a defense witness in People v. Flenaugh. [20] Dr. Verona was the head of the DIA’s Scientific and Technical Intelligence Directorate, who simultaneously ran a DIA mind-control program called “Sleeping Beauty” that dealt with the offensive use of microwave weapons.

In 1967, Dr. Valerie V. Hunt of UCLA, probably the world’s foremost electromagnetic radiation (EMR)/human effects researcher and TESLA TECHNOLOGIES expert outside of Russia, entered Agnews State Mental Hospital near Stanford University to conduct experiments on hapless mental patients. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), CIA-MK-ULTRA institution, underwrote her research which more than likely was to clandestinely study the affects of the Moscow signal using mental patients as human guinea pigs. During her research and experiments, Ronnie Flenaugh was a patient at the hospital and possibly became one of her experimental EMF-Moscow Signal guinea pigs.

At the time, Dr. Hunt was also working for Sturmbannfüehrer SS Dr. Wernher von Braun’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). [21] Nicola Tesla had developed a revolutionary electro-propulsive (Anti-Gravity) technology among others that the Nazis were very interested in exploiting.

As early as 1934, SS von Braun had become directly involved in Tesla Technologies.  At Los Alamos, New Mexico, in a secret project called “p2″, between 1936-38, under the direction of Wernher von Braun on leave from Nazi Germany, had come to New Mexico on the invitation of the American Rocket Society, the Smithsonian, and the Simon and Florence Guggenheim foundations, to work with Dr. Robert Goddard, at his laboratory at Mescalero, New Mexico. Tesla apparently agreed to work in the German project, after he had offered the technology to the U.S. government on several occasions, and was treated like a lunatic. He had been led into the project under the idea that it was “for peace” and “all mankind”. [22]

In 1988, Dr. Hunt publicly revealed at a Psychotronics (mind control machines) conference that she had been covertly experimentally bombarding human beings with ELF (mind control frequencies). Dr. Hunt was one of the first in the US to bombard human beings with electromagnetic high frequency radiation (EHF) causing disruption of the human nervous system. [23] The experiments were probably based on the Tesla Magnifying Transmitter (TMT) that the Russians were perfecting with the Moscow Signal. 

Dr. Hunt’s colleague at UCLA, Dr. W. Ross Adey of the University of California’s Brain Research Institute, a CIA MK-ULTRA (mind control) contractor, was also one of the first to conduct research on EMF and brain waves, confirming that brainwaves could be entrained to externally generated signals. The U.S. Navy underwrote his research. [24]  

An AURA is the electromagnetic energy field that surrounds, encompasses and permeates the body as well as all living things. The colors and patterns within this energy field constitute a blueprint (the results of the energy we radiate from our feelings, thoughts, and physical being). The first aura photo was taken by Nickola Tesla in 1891. The USSR expanded on his work through the development of Kirlian photography, and by 1975 UCLA researchers, Thelma Moss and Valerie Hunt, were measuring the Aura with TESLA TECHOLOGIES with precise accuracy for the CIA. [25]  During that time, GHW Bush was the director of the CIA. Parapsychologist Thelma Moss worked directly with the CIA Mind Control Maestro, Dr. Louis Jolyon West, at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute. [26]

According to Alex Constantine, one of their subjects, “… was whelmed by “back-to-back psychic experiences…she realized, but precognitive dreams ‘that had to be fed to me.’ (Biotelemetric subjects routinely complain that their dreams are commandeered.) For 15 years she walked through a barrage of novelty effects. The “psychic” episodes gradually gave way to torture, including head pains and endless hours of “persuasive coercion,” the art of psychological paralysis honed by the CIA in the prison system. In 1994 she began to receive non-stop audio transmissions that still torment her, cybernetic “voices” registering on her brain’s “primary frequency allocation,” her mental “channel.” [27]

Another Psychotronic protégée of Dr. Hunt in the U.S. Psychotronic Association (USPA) was Dr. Elizabeth Rauscher; director of Technic Research Laboratory in San Leandro within just miles of Sebron Flenaugh, Jr. Dr. Rauscher of UC Berkeley had been doing ELF/brain (TESLA TECHNOLOGIES) research with human subjects for some time. One of the frequencies produces nausea for more than an hour. Another frequency, she calls it the marijuana frequency, gets people laughing. “Give me the money and three months,” she says, “and I’ll be able to affect the behavior of eighty percent of the people in this town without their knowing it.” [28]  Dr. Rauscher was also an expert in TESLA TECHNOLOGIES. Along with Thomas E. Bearden, she lectured on the “Introduction to Tutorial Day of Tesla Physics” at USPA conferences. [29]

Tesla Magnifying Transmitter (TMT) & THE RUSSIAN WOODPECKER

On the bicentennial of the American Revolution, July 4, 1976, the Soviets began broadcasts that became known to ham radio operators around the world as the “Russian Woodpecker”. The Woodpecker signal seemed to have come from an early model of a HAARP-like device using a Tesla Magnifying Transmitter (TMT). 

The official Defense Department explanation was that it was an over-the-horizon radar system designed to detect enemy missile launches. This is what the Over the Horizon Backscatter (OTH-B) program, the original occupier of the HAARP site, was intended to be.  These broadcast-interfering electromagnetic signals were on the 3 to 30 MHz bands and were usually pulsed at an on-off rate of 10 per second, which gave the characteristic tapping, which gave rise to its being called the “Russian Woodpecker”. [30]    

In the Zapping of America, Paul Brodeus wrote: A report published in the New York Times on October 30, 1976, revealed that in recent months a mysterious broadband, short-wave radio signal had been broadcast intermittently from the Soviet Union. The signal was so powerful that it disrupted radio and telecommunications throughout the world…Dr. Zaret is concerned about the Russian signal…because of its potential hazard to human beings…it was very clear that such encoding impressed onto carrier wave-lengths could have a central-nervous-system effect. [31]

In 1976, The Boston Globe reported that the U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union, Walter Stoessel, developed a rare blood disease similar to leukemia and was suffering headaches and was suffering bleeding from the eyes. Two of his irradiated predecessors, Ambassadors Charles Bohlen and Llewellyn Thompson, died of cancers. [32]

On the July 18, 1981 TV show “NBC Magazine, David Brinkley revealed to a wide range of television audience that the Soviets were bombarding the U.S. with low frequency waves. On the air, he said: As I say I find it hard to believe, its crazy and none of us here knows what to make of it: the Russian Government is known to be trying to change human behavior by external electronic influences. We do know that much. And we know that some kind of Russian transmitter is bombarding this country with extreme low frequency radio waves. [33] 

Dr. Andrew Michrowski, Ph.D., Technologies Specialist with the Canadian Department of State, President of the Planetary Association of Clean Energy (PACE), wrote: Since October 1976 the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has been emitting extremely low frequency signals from a number of Tesla-type transmitters. Their frequencies correspond to brain-wave rhythms of either the depressed or the irritable states of humans-and scientifically tenable tests have shown that the U.S.S.R. signals do lock-in human brain-wave signals. The U.S.S.R. signals have been assessed by the Environmental Protection Agency…to be psychoactive (i.e., liable to produce psychological response and vulnerability in humans). The same agency has noted that the U.S.S.R. ELF signals can be absorbed and re-radiated at 60-Hertz power transmission lines and even be magnified by water pipe grids. The Soviets are on the verge of a break-through into a new weapons technology that will make missiles and bombers obsolete. It would allow them to destroy up to five American cities a day just by sending out radio pulses. They could induce panic or illness into whole nations. [34] 

At least five U.S.S.R. installations were operating simultaneously up to 24 hours a daily since July 1976, with an intensity of up to 40 million watts. [35] The Soviet installations were radiating ELF at a frequency, which could resonate with neurons in the human brain, and the transmission could be a carrier wave that could be modulated (varied in amplitude, frequency or phase) to carry a hidden effect 24 hours a day.

In 1976, GHW Bush was the CIA director. Between 1975 and 1976, Sebron Flenaugh, Jr. had been delivered to the U.S. Naval Hospital in San Diego as a civilian housekeeper, another CIA-MK ULTRA institution.  

STANFORD RESEARCH INSTITUTE (SRI) & HAARP 

During the early 1970’s, the S Factor, Stanford University, the handmaiden of the Medical-Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex in covert mind control experiments had also been experimenting with Tesla technologies.

In 1974, Dr. Robert Helliwell and John Katsufrakis of Stanford University’s radio science laboratory showed that very low frequency radio waves can vibrate the magnetosphere. A magnetosphere is a highly magnetized region around and possessed by an astronomical object. In the Antarctic, with a 20km antenna and five-kilohertz transmitter, they learned that the magnetosphere could be modulated to cause high-energy particles to cascade into Earth’s atmosphere. By turning the signal on or off, they could stop the flow of energetic particles. [36]

According to government sources, SRI developed much of the high frequency transmitting programs with money from the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) of the U.S. Department of Defense. [37] The DNA has been renamed as the Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA). 

DR. VALERIE HUNT’S UCLA & HAARP’S OLDER BROTHER IN ALASKA

Playing catch up with the Soviets, the US began developing its own radio-frequency-radiation transmitter Tesla Magnifying Transmitter (TMT) installations. High Power Auroral Stimulation Observatory (HIPAS) is the “older brother” of HAARP. [38]  

The HIPAS facility is run by the UCLA Plasma Physics Laboratory, and like HAARP, is engaged in the study of the ionosphere through the use of high power transmissions. It is located 25 miles east of Fairbanks, Alaska. HIPAS consists of eight 150 kW transmitters broadcasting from an eight element circular crossed-dipole antenna array. HIPAS operates at 2.85 and 4.53 MHz (behavior modification frequencies) with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 84 megawatts at 2.85 MHz. Like HAARP, the site also includes several diagnostic instruments. Current projects at HIPAS include experiments in double frequency ELF/VLF (extremely low and very low frequency) generation and in ion cyclotron excitation. [39]

HAARP: THE SUPER SKYBUSTER 

During the presidency of GHW Bush in 1993, Sebron Flenaugh’s former employers, the U.S. Air Force and Navy jointly publicly initiated HAARP. HAARP is the most powerful, versatile and largest radio-frequency-radiation transmitter in the world. It has at least three times the power of any known Soviet installation.

The HAARP project sits on a 23-acre facility located 200 miles east of Anchorage. It consists of two main parts, 48 ionosphere research instruments (IRI) and scientific suite of other instruments. The IRI is a high-power transmitter and antenna capable of producing up to 36 million watts.

 HAARP can manipulate radio waves in several different ways, such as electron acceleration of Infrared and other optical emissions, generating geometric field-aligned ionization, and using oblique heating to broaden ionospheric enhancement technology. The U.S. Navy can also generate extremely low frequency (ELF) waves, which allow communications with submerged submarines.

These techniques can be applied to surveillance of the sky and ground. The system can be used against populations, such as for crowd control. This would be achieved by producing mild to severe physiological disruption or perceptual distortion or disorientation. U.S. military documents reveal that this system has the ability to interrupt and exploit human mental processes through pulsed radio-frequency radiation over large geographical areas.    

By creating and directing balls of energy at lightning speeds, it could be possible to manipulate the minds of people by altering the electrical energy already present in their brains. Imagine, if you could, the ability of a police force to soothe a rioting mob with a pulse of electromagnetic force or perhaps the ability to render the same crowd docile and subservient. If today’s society can be monitored and controlled by means of influencing public behavior, the threat of a highly-dominated technosociety is a real prospect. [40]

The HAARP project was based on the August 11, 1987 patents of Dr. Bernard J. Eastlund of Texas entitled: Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth’s Atmosphere, Ionosphere, and/or Magnetosphere. This patent was filed on January 10, 1985. On April 11, 1986, The Office of Naval Research sealed the patent application under a “Secrecy Order” which forbade further work or any disclosure of information on the patent. [41] 

Viktor Schauberger (June 30, 1885 –September 25, 1958), one of Nazi Germany’s most ingenious scientists, was brought over to the United States in Project Paperclip to work with scientists at the National Atomic Research Laboratory; known today as the Brookhaven Labs, located in eastern Long Island, New York.

Schauberger, Nazi High Priest Occultist, was one of Himmler’s SS, Knights of the Black Sun. According to Joseph P. Farrell’s Reich of the Black Sun, Schauberger’s concern with “implosion”, extremes of temperature gradients, and vorticular motion were coupled with his detailed study of ancient mathematical doctrines and “occulted physics” within ancient doctrines and philosophical texts. In short, Schauberger was the ideal candidate, from the SS’s point of view, to lead a project involved with areas of physics and esoteric systems that were central to the SS ideology. [42]  “In a nutshell, Schauberger’s theories bring us to the very edge of what appear to be wartime efforts – a well funded, and deeply black effort – on the part of the SS to understand the relationship of the zero point energy, rotating fields, and gravity.” [43] TESLA TECHNOLOGIES.

By 1972, the Brookhaven scientists were fully immersed in the Montauk Project—understanding how the mind works, learning to control the mind, and in turn, using the mind to control time. Schauberger’s patents, inventions, and ideas, were signed over to those working on the Montauk Project; and the U.S. military has incorporated them into different projects, one of which is HAARP.[44]

In 1970, Flenaugh’s father said that he stayed with him in New York. He told about his son’s strange behavior, he said that Flenaugh would go outside washing the car in raging cold during the middle of winter. He would also ride his bike through snowdrifts. He described his speech as rambling. He observed extreme passivity in this behavior, and emotional withdrawal. His father said that Flenaugh saw some type of clinician in New York. He didn’t who or whether it was a psychologist or psychiatrist. [45]  At that time, Flenaugh didn’t appear to have any source of income. It would seem natural that if Flenaugh had visited a Veteran’s Hospital in New York his father should have been well aware of that. Was Flenaugh visiting Schauberger’s Brookhaven Labs as part of Montauk-HAARP?

Hanscom Air Force Base runs the public effort for the HAARP Program. Kirkland Air Force Base (the home of high-tech weapons systems) runs the information distribution process, Maxwell Air Force Base develops doctrine and policy for non-lethal weapons systems and Brooks Air Force Base puts together research on the bio-effects of radio frequency radiation. UCLA, Stanford University, Penn State, and University of Alaska all work on the project. Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) through ARCO Power Technologies Incorporated (APTI), their subsidiary, and E-Systems that bought APTI provided HAARP industry contributions.

APTI under E-Systems was then acquired by Raytheon Corporation in a huge buyout. [46] Raytheon is another one of the world’s largest defense contractors.

E-Systems technologies were part of the central nervous system for the nation’s intelligence community. $1.8 billion of their $2.1 billion in sales was for classified projects. A large party of the projects came from the National Security Agency (NSA) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and other intelligence agencies. Many of the company employees are former personnel from NSA, CIA and military retirees. The company hires people with highly technical backgrounds and history of working in government intelligence circles almost automatically. Retired Navy Admiral William Rabon, CIA director under Lyndon B. Johnson, for years served on the board of directors. [47]

On CBS’s 60 minutes segment aired on February 26, 1995, the company was described as an organization operating in the “black (white) world”, an area so secret that employees were not permitted by law to discuss anything about their work except with those individuals who have an official “need to know” classification. [48]

E-System’s core business focused on intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance, which include systems for law enforcement which can intercept faxed messages, telephone calls, modem transfers, and video transmissions on a single system in eavesdropping by the government. Their Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies (satellite based) can locate objects anywhere in the world within one foot of the object’s actual location. [49]

Essentially, HAARP Manchurian Candidates, such as possibly Sebron Flenaugh, Jr., John Allen Muhammad and Lee Malvo could be triggered anyplace on the globe.

At least once source, Ital Iman I, suggests that the death of Black Nationalist Khalid Muhammad by a brain aneurysm was linked to a HAARP instrument that was turned up the day he died on February 17, 2001. [50] How did he know that HAARP had been turned up? Strangely enough, Iman supports DC Sniper John Allen Muhammad from Fort Lewis, Washington, home of the First Earth Battalion, as “like a message from a high priest, this initiation rite to take the world, especially black people, to a higher level, to get a higher consciousness.” [51]

Was it a coincidence that John Allen Muhammad of the First Earth Battalion and his cohort experiment Lee Malvo had an E-Systems’ Global Positioning System (GPS) devise when arrested, and they seemed to have been triggered by (HAARP) remote messages.   

HAARP: EMF & ENTRAINING THE BRAIN 

The brain operates within a relatively narrow band of predominant frequencies. The predominant brain wave frequencies indicate the kind of activity taking place in the brain. There are four basic groups of brain wave frequencies, which are associated with mental activity. The first, beta waves, (13-35 Hertz or pulses per second) are associated with normal activity when a person’s attention is directed outward toward normal activities. The high end of this range is associated with stress or agitated states, which can impair thinking and reasoning skills. The second group, alpha waves (8-12 Hertz), can indicate relaxation. Alpha frequencies are ideal for learning and focused mental functioning. The third, theta waves (4-7 Hertz), indicates mental imagery, access to memories and internal mental focus. This state is often associated with young children, behavior modification and sleep/dream states. The last, ultra slow, delta waves (.5.3 Hertz) are found when a person is in deep sleep. The general rule is that the brain’s predominant wave frequency will be lowest, in terms of pulses per second, when relaxed, and highest when people are most alert or agitated. [52] 

“Entrain” has several non-technical and non-medical meanings such as “to draw away with”, or “alter oneself”, and “to collect and transport”. Radio frequency radiation, acting as a carrier for extremely low frequencies (ELF), can be used to wireless entrain brain waves.

“Entrainment” is the results of external stimulation of the brain by electromagnetic means. An external signal generator can lock on to, or entrain, brain patterns, overriding normal frequencies of the brain’s operation. The outside signal capture, retunes, the brain to harmonize with the external signal. This causes changes in the brain wave patterns, which cause changes in brain chemistry, which then cause changes in thoughts, emotions and physi-meditation, calm, even euphoria. Used unknowingly against an individual it is the basic mechanism of radio intracerebral mind control. [53]

Dr. Robert O. Becker experimented in the early 1960’s with ELF by putting the signal on top of a DC current to carry the ELF signal. In other words, ELF rode like a passenger on a bus, maintaining its own integrity but being carried to its specific destination. Dr. Becker tested this concept by using an ELF, 1-10 Hertz (cycles or pulses per second) signal on humans resulting in an increased loss of consciousness among test subjects. [54]          

HAARP has the capabilities to radiate radio frequencies carrying ELF that can draw away with, alter, or transport brain waves that can influence brain activity of entire populations. Biomedical Instruments, Inc. markets electromedical devices used to control or manipulate brain activity. The power level needed to achieve a measure of control over brain activity of control over brain activity is very small-from 5 to 200 microamperes-which is thousands of times less then the power needed to run a 60 watt light bulb. The trick for influencing brain activity is in the combination of frequency, power level and wave form. [55] 

Research internationally found that the brain can be easily entrained or can be influenced to change states by external electromagnetic fields. Again, the brain can be easily entrained or can be influenced to change states by external electromagnetic fields. The tools for brain wave entrainment include electrical cranial stimulation devises, sound systems, light pulse systems, and a large variety of other brain entrainment and feedback devices. [56] 

Military research looks at brain wave entrainment technologies as potential weapons systems development. The HAARP project could be not only the biggest ionosphere heater in the world, but the biggest brain-entrainment devise ever developed. According to HAARP records, when the devise is built to full power it can send VLF and ELP waves using many wave forms at energy levels sufficient to affect entire regional populations. [57] 

HAARP: RADIO-HYPNOTIC INTRACEREBRAL CONTROL (RHIC)

The joining of the use of radio transmissions and hypnotism to control a subject is called Radio-Hypnotic Intracerebral Control (RHIC). Recall that Tesla technologies have the capability to send messages to anyplace on the globe. 

The Neurophone device, developed in 1958 by Dr. Patrick Flanagan, can convert sound (like words and music) into electrical impulses, which can be transferred through any point on the body directly into the brain, bypassing the ear and associated hearing mechanisms, entirely.

Dr. Flanagan later went to work for Tufts University. As a research scientist at Tufts, he developed a 3-D holographic sound system, which could place sounds in any location in space as perceived by a listener. [58]

Dr. Flanagan’s developed an improved digital Neurophone. DR. Jack Verona of the United States Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) placed the patent for the digital Neurophone under a secrecy order as a matter of national security. Dr. Flanagan was forbidden from conducting any further research or even talking about his technology for four years. [59]

Putting voices in peoples heads as a means to control or trigger them is decades old. In 1974, a FOIA request produced a document from the Army Medical and Information Agency entitled “Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation” which discussed the research of Dr. Allen Frey and others. The document revealed that the military was actively researching ways to induce voices inside the brain by use of signal modulation at very low power densities. [60] 

Also in 1974, another FOIA request produced a document from The Joint Publications Research Service in Arlington, Virginia, entitled “Psychotronics in Engineering” by J.F. Schapitiz. Dr. Schapitz wrote that the spoken words of a hypnotist could be conveyed directly into the subconscious portion of the brain by means of modulated electromagnetic energy. He believed that he could use this method to program the subconscious without employing any technical devises for receiving or transcoding the messages and without the person exposed having any chance to control the information input. This technology, he said, could be used to induce hypnotic states in subjects at a distance; and by using words modulated on the microwave carrier frequencies, human subjects could be conditioned to perform various acts. He further proposed a research program to develop this technology. He also suggested recording the brain wave patterns induced by various drugs, then beaming these patterns via microwaves at test subjects in an attempt to cause mental disruption in the subject appropriate to the prerecorded drug. Dr. Schapitz’s research was funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, Dr. Jack Verona and the same folks funding HAARP. [61] 

The HAARP project is jointly funded by the United States Air Force, the Navy, the University of Alaska and Dr. Verona’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) [62] of the Defense Intelligence Agency. [63] 

In 1973 at Walter Reed Hospital, Dr. Joseph C. Sharp, while in a soundproof chamber, heard words spoken to him from outside the room. They used pulsed microwave audiogram (computer simulation of voice) broadcasting from 300 MHz to 3 GHz. The words reached Dr. Sharp’s brain in such a way that he was able to understand the words that were spoken. [64] 

On the subject, Dr. Robert O. Becker, wrote in 1985, “Such a device has obvious applications in covert operations designed to drive a target crazy with ‘voices’ or deliver undetected instructions to a programmed assassin.” [65]

According to most all the clinical psychologist that interviewed Sebron Flenaugh after the shootings, concluded that he shot the people while he was in a “dissociative state”. 

Paul S.D. Berg, Ph.D. described the “Dissociative state” “It’s a kind of splitting where the a person sometimes, its described as trance-like hypnotic. It’s used sometimes in the example of what they call in Berkeley, as out of body experience where a person through drugs or whatever else is outside of themselves that’s the split. Bit it’s a splitting off of the person’s awareness from their activity, basically behavior.” [66] 

Dr. Samuel Benson, psychiatrist provided another very good description of a “Dissociative State”, “a person is on “auto pilot” where only his subconscious impulses are working.” Dr. Benson concluded that Flenaugh thought he was only “target-shooting”. [67]

Dr. Douglas Anderson, a psychiatrist, met with Flenaugh twelve times. Dr. Anderson believed that, during the shootings, Flenaugh was in a psychotic dissociated or “trance-like” state which is relative alteration of consciousness. He explained that in such a state, which is analogous to an alcoholic blackout or sleepwalking, the conscious part of the mind that involves judgment became suspended and that behavior in connection to the unconscious, a person only has a vague recollection of what he did. [68]

The Neurophone has been improved by the pentagon and military intelligence with 21^st century engineering using biologically compatible signals. [69] HAARP has the capability to use Neurophone technologies to mind control individuals and entire populations. [70]

 Nazis do play this HAARP to create mind controlled assassins to terrorize the masses and polarize the races as part and parcel of their master plan for a 1000 year Third Reich of Aryan World Domination.

O ption “A” is for those who do not like to see detail and would be distracted by it. Option “A” is the presentation in its present form, with richly packed supporting endnotes.

 Option “B”, is for those who like to see detail and are not distracted by it. Option “B” is the presentation with richly packed supporting footnotes, enabling you to “see a detailed whole picture” at a glance.  To view the presentation in that format, simply download the presentation, save it, and then simply convert the endnotes to footnotes.

 I.          INTRODUCTION

 “If you don’t know where you are going in business…,

… “any road will get you there” (Old New England proverb)

…“you’ll end up someplace else” (Casey Stengel),

… “you’re lost” (Yogi Berra), and

…“you will soon be out of business.” (Reed-Brown Consulting Group)

 “ One way to get to where you want to be is to find a good map 

and a smart guide….. 

[We are] all explorers. 

We have to beware of waterfalls. 

Some will have a sense of how to navigate…

Others will drift along placidly…

Till the water gets rough and murky…

And the bottom suddenly disappears.

Those who approach waterfalls in canoes…

With no map…

Are unlikely to survive if the waterfall is really high.[i]

 “It’s plenty tough out there. All the more so for small businesses, which run on gumption and grit during the best of times and must embrace any imaginative means just to survive in the worst.”[ii] 

 “There are three fundamental decisions facing any business in good times and bad: where to play, how to deliver, and how to win.”[iii]

 “[We] have to be thinking more expansively about where we’re going and how we can encourage …innovation to get us there.”[iv]

 “Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”[v]

 In general, a Global Positioning Satellite System (“GPSS”) tells you where you are on earth. A GPSS is most commonly used in a car or truck. The following user’s experience may be typical:

 “I love GPSS. Because I often talk on the cell phone when I’m driving, I can easily get lost, even in my hometown. When I’m out of town, it’s literally impossible for me to go anywhere without missing a number of critical exit ramps or turns. GPSS has changed everything for me. I no longer have to look at a map, because a nice lady’s voice guides me to my destination quickly and efficiently. If I’m in the wrong lane and miss a turn or an exit, she instantly tells me that she’s ‘recalculating’ and directs me to my destination in spite of my mistake. How does the GPSS work? Quite simply, the GPS satellites have a perfect bird’s-eye view of the car I’m driving, my current location, the destination I’m traveling to, and every street and turn along the way. It can calculate the best route for me to take. Because I have my own mind and will, I sometimes stray from the path (or forget to turn the GPSS on). But when I’m lost or stuck in traffic, I turn it on; it picks up my signal and quickly directs me to an alternative route to my destination as efficiently as possible.”[vi]

 In addition to their use in cars and trucks, GPSS are being used in a variety of new contexts, including being used to help look for shipwrecks, being used to assist in settling property disputes, and even being mounted on screens in golf carts, enabling the golfer to see the distance from tee to green.[vii]

 There are business tools that can function like a GPSS and which, when employed correctly, can assist a business person in successfully navigating during challenging economic times. In traditional applications, a GPS simultaneously answers four questions[viii]: (1) Where are you? (2) Where are you going? (3) What’s the best way for you to get there? (4) When will you get there? A functional BGPSS should provide quantitative answers for the questions of where are you, where are you going, and when will you get there. Your business model should provide answers to the question of the best way to get there. In addition, some of the functional information of a BGPS and the entrepreneurial economics it encapsulates may also be partially captured by proxy in an executive business dashboard[ix].

 If your business stays still and does nothing to respond to the challenge of changing times, you might find your business very much like the saber-toothed squirrel who refused to let go of the acorn in the Ice Age films or like one of the three million fossil occupants of the Rancho La Brea Tar Pits in Hancock Park near the Miracle Mile district of Los Angeles: stuck in a near or actual state of extinction. In order to know where your business should move, and how fast it “better be running”, you need a Business Global Positioning System (“BGPS”).

 Usually, when the phrase “business entrepreneur” is used, we think of someone who starts a new business venture. However, in addition business entrepreneurs, we also have developments such as venture philanthropy funds[x], not for profit entrepreneurs[xi], as well as social entrepreneurs[xii].  Here are some examples of social entrepreneurship:

“A social entrepreneur engages in the same tasks as an entrepreneur, but in the nonprofit arena…Being entrepreneurial about social issues can be accomplished in a variety of ways. The most obvious is to run a not-for-profit organization in innovative ways that create funding for their programs or create employment opportunities for their clients. Non-profits have added some fascinating innovative twists to this model. Some examples are homeless shelters that start businesses to train and employ their residents; the Women’s Bean Project that gives job training, GED tutoring, individual counseling, internships and job placement to ‘at-risk’ women while employing them in manufacturing and distributing bean soup and salsa mixes. The sales of the mixes cover 80% of job placement.”

 These other forms of entrepreneurship reinforce understanding and appreciation of the fact that “entrepreneurship is not only about hotshots taking companies public. A lot of entrepreneurial activity …is in the exercise of getting things done more efficiently and creatively in response to constraints that people find themselves in.”[xiii]

 Though this article focuses on business entrepreneurs, many of the ideas, principles, thoughts, and suggestions could also apply to these other forms of entrepreneurship, and the challenging of changing times that those other forms of entrepreneurship face. For example, challenging economic times not only impact individual and institutional portfolios, but also the actual ability and psychological readiness of donors to provide financial support to non-profits.

Ideally, monitoring and feedback systems are designed to tie directly to corporate financial performance issues such as return on equity.” )

While primarily supported through donations, the funds also generate income through loan generation fees, interest on loans, cost-sharing fees for consulting services, and interest income on cash balances.”)

Kelebihan gps :

1. Gps untuk navigasi
aplikasi gps di bidang militer pada umumnya dapat dibagi menjadi beberapa bagian misalnya, pemetaan (penentuan posisi titik-titik target terutama pada masalah topografi angkatan darat, pencitraan, foto udara, dan beberapa analisis spasial yang ditujukan untuk mendukung perencanaan operasi), navigasi, tracking (monitoring atau pemantauan), atau bahkan sebagai tools penuntun posisi-posisi sasaran peluru kendali, rover, uav, dan auv cthny bisa di lihat di toko gps. Navigasi sering kali dilakukan oleh personel militer yang sedang menempuh perjalanan dari suatu tempat ke tempat-tempat lain yang menjadi targetnya. Oleh karena itu, dengan mengkombinasikan peta, kompas, dan gps (receiver), maka proses navigasi menjadi lebih mudah dan menyenangkan bagi siapapun.
Demikian pula bagi personel militer yang bergerak dengan menggunakan platform (kendaraan), bila menggunakan peta (terutama dijital) dan gps (receiver), navigasinya menjadi jauh lebih mudah, menyenangkan, dan cepat

Kekurangan gps :

1. Penggunaan gps untuk mengetahui posisi yang mengandalkan setidaknya tiga satelit ini tidak selamanya akurat.
2. Terkadang, dibutuhkan satu satelit untuk memperbaiki sinyal yang diterima. Ketidakakuratan posisi yang ditunjukkan
3. Gps ini dipengaruhi oleh posisi satelit yang berubah dan adanya proses sinyal yang ditunda. Kecepatan sinyal gps ini juga seringkali berubah karena dipengaruhi oleh kondisi atmosfer yang ada produk gpsny bisa di lihat di toko gps. Selain itu, sinyal gps juga mudah berinteferensi dengan gelombang elektromagnetik lainnya

Ever since the robot was first invented, there have been people who swear up and down that they mark the first step towards the fall of man. They claim that if we ever manage to perfect the art of creating a synthetic humanoid with the right combination of emotion, mobility, and free will that it’s only a matter of time until it develops self awareness, realizes it’s potential as the superior being, and proceeds to enslave the world. To be fair, their arguments are backed with scientific fact taken from documentary films such as The Terminator, The Matrix, and RoboCop.

I try not to stress about things outside of my control. My suggestion would be to focus on the present and worry about the robots we have in our lives now rather than the ones who may eventually hunger for the destruction of the human race.

More and more we see new devices introduced into our society and households that automate some of life’s simpler functions. You may be familiar with the Roomba, a small disc-shaped robot that will vacuum your floors at a designated time and then return itself to it’s charging station. In the eyes of the robot naysayer, the Roomba would also prove useful in sneaking up onto the owner’s face in the middle of the night to vacuum the final breaths from their lungs. There’s another up and coming robot called the Automower, which is a four wheeled device that will mow your lawn without the need for human steering. Anti-robot activists are quick to point out that pairing a rather unintelligent robot with a lawnmower blade is a guaranteed way to have your body chopped off. You may have heard about the Japanese companion robot designed for the elderly called Wakamaru, which can for the most part, understand human speech and will even call 911 in the case of emergency. Robotophobes will remind us of that one isolated incident during the beta testing process where a Wakamaru laughed and mocked it’s elderly owner as they lay seizuring on the floor.

The aforementioned robots are highly advanced and are pushing the technological envelope but are not readily available to just anyone. Personally, I would worry more about the robots we deal with on a fairly regular basis. There’s one in particular that I think we should keep a careful eye on because you never know when it will turn on you. Of course, I’m talking about the cheeky British robot that lives inside my GPS device.

Global positioning systems are becoming a regular staple in vehicles across America, and nine out of ten cellular phones have them built right in. A few weeks ago while driving into unfamiliar territory, I missed a turn that she was very adamant I take. She had no qualms about letting me know that she was burdened by the task of recalculating my directions and as I repeatedly missed the intersection the more serious her robotic tone became. I was starting to worry that before long she would be feeding me directions that would cause me to unintentionally drive into a nearby lake, or worse, I had visions of the GPS unit turning itself off completely, but not before spouting a final comment of “Now arriving in the bad part of town.”

Ο μαραθωνοδρόμος Paul Whitehead τρέχει για προπόνηση μαζί με μερικά απαραίτητα: ταυτότητα, κλειδιά του σπιτιού, ένα ψηφιακό ραδιόφωνο, συσκευασίες Lucozade σε μορφή ζελέ για αναπλήρωση ενέργειας, αλλά και το Blackberry του.

Παρόλο που κάποιος μπορεί να σκεφτεί ότι ο 38χρονος επικεφαλής ανάπτυξης του επιχειρησιακού τμήματος για το βρετανικό τηλεοπτικό κανάλι Channel 4 χρησιμοποιεί το κινητό του τηλέφωνο για επαγγελματικούς λόγους, στην πραγματικότητα το χρησιμοποιεί για να παρακολουθεί την ταχύτητά του, την απόσταση που διανύει και το ρυθμό με τον οποίο τρέχει. Όλα αυτά με μια εφαρμογή που είναι γνωστή ως AllSport GPS. Το πρόγραμμα αυτό, το οποίο μπορεί να ληφθεί στο τηλέφωνο έναντι αντιτίμου 5,99 δολαρίων Αμερικής το μήνα από τις μεγαλύτερες εταιρείες, χρησιμοποιεί το ενσωματωμένο παγκόσμιο σύστημα προσδιορισμού θέσης (GPS) για να παρακολουθεί τη θέση και την κίνηση του τηλεφώνου.[next]

Φυσικά, υπάρχουν έξυπνα ρολόγια τα οποία δεν διαθέτουν χαρακτηριστικά κινητών τηλεφώνων, αλλά άλλες εξελιγμένες δυνατότητες, όπως λ.χ. το Casio CF-100 το οποίο συλλέγει και επεξεργάζεται πληροφορίες όπως οι σφυγμοί, οι θερμίδες που καταναλώνει κανείς κ.ά. ή το GΗ-615 της Globalsat, ένα ρολόι GΡS. Παλαιότερα, έχουμε παρουσιάσει και μια σειρά ρολογιών χειρός της Garmin, ειδικά σχεδιασμένων για αθλητές, με αντίστοιχες δυνατότητες (ειδικότερα αυτά της σειράς Forerunner), όπως βέβαια και τα ρολόγια χειρός της Suunto με πιο εντυπωσιακή πρόταση το Χ9i το οποίο ενσωματώνει GΡS και πολλές ακόμα πρωτοποριακές λειτουργίες. tanea.gr

I went to the haunted house attraction at Waverly Hills that I posted on before.

Beginning to arrival

The people who went were Mark – the husband of my best friend; Stephen and Alice – recently married; and me. Another person had agreed to come but she didn’t realize that there would be actors.

I made everyone take flashlights, which took some time to accomplish since people needed batteries and so forth. I refused an offer of gloves or a hat. I did visit the restroom before we left. (This is all pertinent information.)

Mark’s GPS had a skeletal hand pointing the way and a Vincent Price voice giving directions. We liked it and then forgot about it. Stephen, Alice and I were startled when the voice said, “pay no attention to the noises in the trunk.” Alice and I shared ghost stories.

Parking to Ticket

The parking lot was unlit ($2 parking) and we were glad we had flashlights. When we reached the gate, a woman told us to go to the front of the line to buy tickets and then return to the end of the line.

On our way up the line, we saw a couple of concessions stands and a tent with golf carts and a sound system. The music was blaring “Thriller.” One of the workers came over to us and tried to convey something. We could tell he was angry but we couldn’t hear him. It turned out that we were in the way of dancers whom we hadn’t seen. That was dispiriting so we trudged up the hill to buy our tickets.

The woman I bought my ticket from had strange white contacts on – creepy and effective.

Later, in line, we saw that the dancers were wearing dark clothing and they were in the corner without any lighting.

I read some wrong information on the website: You can buy tickets at 7:30PM and the gates open at 8PM. It did cost $20 for a ticket so that part was right. It also turned out that we couldn’t use our flashlights. I carried a mag light in my pocket through the tour for nothing.

Beginning of the line to entrance

At one point, Mark and I had to use the rental potties. Mark figured that even if he managed to sneak into the woods, he might pee on the dancers. So we went to the row of rental potties that was at the head of the line. When I entered it, I discovered it had been placed on a slight rise that tilted the front of it toward the asphalt. When seated, I realized that I had closed but not latched the door. I reached to pull the latch. Because it was leaning downward, it started to open. I almost exposed myself in front of the ticket holders, the concessions workers, the camouflaged dancers, and two cops. That was a couple of seconds of terror. But I grabbed the door in time.

Mark reported that the tilted potties made the urinal a challenge.

We were bored waiting.  Some of us claim it took 45 minutes and others an hour and 10 minutes to reach the head of the line. The weather was clear but chilly, and we were shivering. I regretted not accepting the hat. Mark played some songs on his cell phone and then Stephen played some on his. Finally, the others started telling dead baby jokes, which helped pass the time. Then, we reached the head of the line, and it was too noisy to talk. Stephen started dancing to “Crazy Train.”

Alice and I tried to look at the building itself which was impressively large, although we could see very little of it. It looked abandoned still. I tried to imagine what it might have felt like to arrive as a TB patient, look up at the building, and know that I might not leave.

Because we spent so much time in the line, it was hard not to notice people around us. One man had apparently gotten his lip pierced recently. He said nothing but spat the whole time. There was a woman who talked loudly and bitterly to one of her parents who was divorcing the other. Then she hung up and glared around for a few minutes. Then she called some one else and quarreled with them.

Alice and I were most disturbed by the third man who was clearly on drugs. He only occasionally opened his eyes and he swayed until someone pushed him and he’d stumble a few steps ahead.

We were relieved when the worker let the four of us join the next group and separated us from ‘High Guy.’

Details of haunted house after cut.

Through the House

The first room we stepped into was great – a gaggle of happy, screaming teens drowned out all other noise. But that was fine, as the scare didn’t depend on sound. First, I saw a big stuffed werewolf in the corner – then it waved its arms like an animatronic – then he got up and we backed up – then he started walking toward – we emptied into the next room. This was Mark’s favorite moment.

We lagged behind to let the teens go ahead of us. At first, I was a little nervous that it would be disappointing because a few of the early room were empty and were decorated a little unimaginatively.

But that changed quickly.

As we went along, we had to keep checking the walls, the ceiling, and the path before and behind us. I started out in front but then it was too scary so I got behind Mark and in front of Alice and Stephen – that was my favorite spot. Later, I wound up at the back of the line, which meant I got a lot of attention from the actors.

It didn’t take long for the show proper to start.

A giant spider fell down on Mark and I was reluctant to follow him, even though I knew it was fake. Icky, hairy legs.

Then we turned the corner and there was a woman dressed in white with snow-white skin and blonde hair. She was throwing herself against the plexiglass and screaming at us. There were bright white lights strobing into the box. She threw herself so violently against the plexiglass that it bowed and hit Mark on the shoulder. I liked this scene.

One place was scary – a passage that was narrow and completely dark. The noise was deafening and we had no clue when it would end. Alice, who is a bit claustrophobic, held my hand and Stephen’s hand as we went along.

Even though I knew that someone was likely to jump out at me each time I reached a doorway, I screamed and jumped away from one of them anyway.Alice laughed at me and said I’d been gotten. She was right.

In one scene, a woman cornered Alice and me. She came very close and made clicking sounds like a Japanese ghost. I was impressed but Alice was irritated.

Mark and Stephan really liked the zombie librarian. She shushed them sternly, and then slammed a book shut on them when they continued to talk.

The jack-o-lanterns on the fences were charmingly spooky.

We turned a corner and I saw a tall man with a hatchet advancing toward us. He was lit from behind and walking through the fog. Very nice moment.

Stephen, who doesn’t watch movies, would walk up to the actors and exclaim their names with pleasure. He later explained he’d seen their posters. He especially amused the Hannibal who broke character enough to say that no one else had gotten it yet. Hannibal then offered to share the severed head with Stephen who refused.

Near the end, we left a room and a couple of the actors followed us. I stopped looking back because making eye contact meant being pounced on (figuratively). I could still hear their footsteps but they didn’t speak at all. They just slowly shuffled after us. It was a getting a little eerie, and then Mark looked back and said, “We’ve got zombies following us.” Stephen said, “Those aren’t zombies, it’s High Guy.” He was right. The group behind us had caught up.

High Guy did not seem to have noticed Mark’s comment.

We heard chain saws up head of us in a foggy alley and so we proceeded cautiously. Mark almost stepped on Pinhead’s robes as we passed up the alley. The chain saws were hidden and I think something jumped out at the end but I was too far down the line to see what it was.

We stumbled out of the exit. Mark tripped over the poorly lit doorway. The actor stationed there belatedly warned him. I was deafened and smelled like the artificial fog and my eyes had been dazzled by the strobe lights.

Stephen summed it up. “It was pro.”

Ontario Cracks Down on Cell Phone Use While Driving

While The Ontario Legislature law banning the use of handheld devices to talk, text or e-mail while driving. takes effect Oct. 26.

Under the new rule, drivers are prohibited from holding a wireless communication device or electronic entertainment device while driving, unless the vehicle is off the traveled part of the road and not in motion. The new law does not apply to the hands-free mode.

Global positioning system navigation devices, handheld communication and similar prescribed devices, commercially-used logistical transportation tracking systems, collision avoidance systems and instruments, gauges and systems providing information regarding the status of systems of the motor vehicle are exempted from the regulation. Drivers who are caught violating the rule can face fines of up to $500 upon conviction.
