[…] people. Hundreds, maybe thousands, no-one has yet assembled the data of British trade union officials and MPs that had these freebies. The State Department, via the London embassy, was sending back masses of reports. The idea that this was just the role of the CIA is false. None of these British reports have surfaced […]
[…] the strange and sometimes subtle effects of these radio frequencies, which is why their exposure standards have always been much stricter. Soviet microwave bombardment of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow prompted the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Project PANDORA (later renamed), whose ostensible goal was to determine whether these pulsations – – reportedly at […]
[…] passing reference to this then because it arrived just as I was finishing that issue.
