A WEEKLY COMMENTARY
Year Twenty-Five ... Number Forty-Seven ... November 24, 1978
ELECTROMAGNETIC BATTLEFIELD REVISITED
Brief quotes from an extended, two-part report:
At 0410Z we began our descent into Moscow ... Moscow radar handed us off to Sheremetyevo radar .. at 0450Z, 20 June 1977, C-5 90018 settled onto the runway at Sheremetyveo to become the first C-5 to land in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. We were to learn later that we had also made aviation history in that this was the longest flight to carry such a load ... it took only seven minutes to get the magnet down the ramp ... (After the landing), Aleksandr Y. Sheindlin, head of the Institute (for High Temperatures) personally gave us a tour of the U-25 pilot plant, the largest such facility in the world. It was here that we saw the superconducting magnet already bolted into the bypass test loop that had been constructed to accomodate it ... This was the completion of our mission." (unquote). These are quotes from the second of a two-part article by Capt. John M. Zinkevich, United States Air Force. The first-hand story appeared in the January and February 1978 issues of The MAC Flyer. It is the account of the delivery to the USSR of the world's largest magnet, built in the U.S. and flown to the USSR. The supermagnet is said to be capable of generating a magnetic field 250,000 times greater than that of earth itself. As we wrote in the DBR of 8/11/78: "It seems that such a mammoth magnet was required to continue the study of electromagnetic radiation and its application in the spheres of weather modification, space exploration (UFOs?), brainwashing of whole populations, and various killer weapons, the chiefest of which would be the Particle Beam Death Ray, the 'ultimate weapon' which can totally annihilate everything in its path."
Now let us shift the scene to a later time and a different locale. The following is an article by Tom Tiede of the Newspaper Enterprise Assocation (NEA). It appeared in the comparatively small-circulation, bu independent, West Plains Daily Quill, West Plains, MO, on Nov. 8, 1978. We reprint the entire article:

UNSEEN FORCE CAUSES STRANGE HAPPENINGS IN OREGON
Eugene, Ore. (NEA) - Walter Deposki was among the first to feel it. The 48-year-old bachelor says his modest suburban home began shaking and rattling nearly three years ago. "I would lie in bed and listen to the vibrations," he says. "When I closed my eyes I sometimes thought the house would fall down." Initially, no one paid attention to Deposki's complaints. Then, last spring, other residents here began to notice that something was not quite right. Besides the vibrations in homes, dozens of people said that odd atmospheric sensations were causing headaches, dry throats, irritability and loss of sleep.
As it turned out, the sensations were found to be concentrated radio waves. Among other things, government monitors determined that a 4.75 megahertz signal was shooting through Eugene at a rate of 1,100 times per second. Deposki's home was said to be directly in the path of the frequency blast.
Case closed? Not hardly. Though the electronic sleuths uncovered the cause of the disturbance, they were unable to stop it, or even learn precisely where it originated. Today, Eugene continues to be bombarded by an unseen force of unknown energy, and, for surprisingly, nobody much enjoys it. State and federal authorities have done their best to allay fears regarding the signal barrage. They say much of the problem is probably caused by leaking power lines. At any rate, whatever the source, the government says the electronic disturbance is not sufficient to cause real harm to human beings. Actually, the government adds, the disturbance can't even be blamed for the vibrating houses. Walter Deposki has been told that his home shakes because of faulty construction. Officials say he joists are weak in the home, as in the foundation, 'and you can feel a jiggle even when you walk across the floor.'
But the government optimist is not convincing everyone. Deposki, for instance. He says he has had carpenters put additional support under his house, yet the vibrations have not ended. The force is so strong at Deposki's place, a friend says, that he can unplug the refrigerator and it will continue to operate.
The chief critic of the government optimist is Marshall Van Ert, a one-time industrial hygienist at the University of Oregon. He was the first to monitor the radio signals here, in various neighborhoods. Now living in California, Van Ert says the government is lying about the scope and implications of the Eugene bombardment. Van Ert believes the local disturbance is coming from Russia. He says he has monitored and photographed two radio signals from the Soviet Union, both of which are strong enough to cause harm. "One of the waves creates a high, exciting feeling in people; the other, which is worse, makes you feel depressed or sick." Van Ert says the Russian signals are part of that nation's 'intensive effort' to create military uses for electronic and radio impulses. He says the Kremlin is now able to send 'standing waves of energy' around the world. The waves, he insists, can shake a building, or knock it down -- whichever the Russians choose.
Though curious, Van Ert's view is apparently not invented. A spokesman for the Federal Communications Commissions says the Russians have, indeed, been experimenting with powerful radio signals. At one juncture, in 1976, the Red waves were so enormous that several nations grouped together to lodge a protest in Moscow.
No one knows exactly what the Russians are doing. The speculation is they are working on the theories of Nikola Tesla, a brilliant American scientist who claimed he could destroy the whole through the use of wireless electricity. Tesla died in obscurity in 1943. The Soviet Union has many of his notes and papers. In general, the U.S. government has not put much credence in talk of a Tesla-Russian connection. Other nations have, however. Last year, a consultant in Canada's state department said flatly that the Kremlin was using Tesla's genius to modify world weather. Canada continues to research that possibility.
For his part, Van Ert says the Russian signals may be modifying more than the weather. He thinks the Red waves also affect human behavior. When he visits Deposki's house, for example, Van Ert says he becomes personally disoriented. After one visit, he recalls, "I couldn't even find my way back home."
Given this explanation of Russian motives, then, Van Ert says it is not surprising that government is less than candid about what he thinks is going on in Eugene. "But it's time the people were told the truth," he believes, "and the truth is that the Russians are trying to get control of our minds."
Are they? Few in this sophisticated university town would agree with Van Ert. Nonetheless, residential concern is deep. Monitoring is continuing here, and new studies are being proposed. The bombardment is real, it is coming from somewhere, and Walter Deposki is not the only one having trouble sleeping at night." (End of article)
*****************************
"It's time people were told the truth, and the truth is that the Russians are trying to get control of our minds." These were the words of Marshall Van Ert. He was referring to what the CIA calls "electromagnetic brainwashing."
It will be recalled that the art of "brainwashing" was developed by the Communists and by elitist psychiatrists who felt it was their mission in life to control the people of the world. Working along the lines first developed by the Russian scientist Pavlov in his experiments with dogs, Soviet psychiatrists and scientists began working with people. The late Edward Hunter used the word brainwashing to describe the experiments on U.S. prisoners of war during the Korean "police action." Here in the United States a group of elitist psychiatrists intimately connected with the UN World Health Organization, also began to develop plans for controlling masses of people through brainwashing. They used milder terms, of course; behavior modification, values clarification, survival games wherein students deicde who will live and who will die in case of some hypothetical holocaust. Such activity is prevalent today in the public schools of America. The idea is the control of future generations of people.
Just as this type of "people control" was being developed by behaviorial and social scientists, so also was the electromagnetic field being tapped for the control of whole masses of people, or even selected individuals. Just as Pavlov's theories were expanded for purposes of mental control, Tesla's theories were being tested for purposes of people control. Tesla said that the earth and its atmosphere have a magnetic field that oscillates at a resonant frequency that is identical to that of human brainwaves. Alter that frequency and humans are affected. Entire geographical areas of people can be controlled and mood-manipulated by electromagnetic energy projected into the ionosphere. This is where that gigantic 40-ton magnet made in America and airlifted to Russia comes into play. The area around Eugene, Oregon is said to be a testing ground for these experiments which are "affecting the moods, consciousness, stress and health cycles of people." The National Observe of 8/23/77 reported: "The Russians already have the capacity to create deadly mind weapons and send deadly psychic energy thousands of miles ... They can infiltrate and control the minds of leaders -- or drive them stark, raving made."
Eugene, Oregon is just one of many areas where unseen things have been happening. It is suspected that the area in and around San Francisco is another such testing field, where the control of certain types of people and their charismatic leaders is being tested, as well as the ability to drive such leaders "stark, raving made" if experiments fail and both leader and followers get out of control. There was Charles Manson and the Manson Family. There was Donal David DeFreeze and his Symbionese Liberation Army. Here is where Anton La Vey heads the Church of Satan. Then there are the black Zebras, the militant homosexuals, the Synanon group, and the allegedly religious cults such as the Sun Myung Unification Church, Hare Krishna -- and this is where the Rev. Jim Jones built his People's Temple which, in the 1960s was said to be the "biggest Protestant congregation in California."
Could this shocking mass murder-suicide of over 400 men, women and children have been an experiment in "electromagnetic brainwashing"? Let us examine a few of the facts that have been revealed.
According to Jones' wife, the charismatic leader "only adopted Christianity in order to prepare the people for Marxism." This becomes obvious since he laid claim to being both Christ and Lenin. He funded the Guyana "agricultural mission" in 1973, as a place of escape for himself and his most faithful followers if and when things "got too hot for him" in the U.S. By this time, however, the People's Temple had become a church with perhaps 20,000 members, and with centers in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Bakersfield as well as the headquarters church in Ukiah, north of San Francisco, and Jonestown in Guyana. And, he had become a power in politics in California. He and his followers had compaigned for George Moscone and when the latter become Mayor of San Francisco, Jones was appointed a member of the City Housing Authority. Jones also received praise and recommendations for California Governor Jerry Brown, Vice President Walter Mondale, the late Sen. Hubert Humphrey, HEW Secretary Joseph Califano; and there was the handwritten note from Mrs. Jimmy Carter to the Rev. Jim Jones, on White House stationary, dated April 12, 1977. It read: "Dear Jim: Thank you for your letter. I enjoyed being with you during the campaign -- and do hope you can meet Ruth (Carter Stapleton, the President's sister) soon." Vice President Mondale wrote to the minister of state in Guyana recommending Jones and saying in part: "Knowing the congregation's deep involvement in the major social and constitutional issues of our country... is a great inspiration to me." The late Hubert Humphrey wrote: "The work of Rev. Jones and his congregation is testimony to the positive and truly Christian approach to dealing with the myriad problems confronting our society today." A letter from Joseph Califano to Jim Jones read: "Your commitment and compassion, your humanitarian principles and your interest in protecting individual liberty and freedom have made an outstanding contribution to furthering the cause of human dignity."
While all these complimentary things were being written about the man who adopted Christianity to promote Marxism, Jones was intent upon creating a band of slavish followers who would be faithful unto death, literally, and who would at his command murder congressman, reporters and all leaders who might be opposed to his brand of totalitarianism, and to the setting up of a Marxist state. If his scheme became exposed, he was prepared for that, too.
There are several possible conclusions. This bizarre affair could be seen as a kind of return-to-slavery wherein the slaveholder builds a plantation in the jungle for his own profit and security, with slaves who seem content in having gained security at the cost of freedom; so 'content' that they meet death with the master, willingly by suicide or unwillingly by murder. Or, it is understandable that a charismatic leader might hoodwink and gain control over the possessions and property of a band of ex-cons, drug addicts, misfits and lost souls. By the use of fear and persecution, dress rehearsals for mass suicide, beatings and torturings, a man like Jones might attain absolute obedience from such a band. It is also understandable that such a leader might so indoctrinate his followers that they would take up his cause and fight to the death for his brand of political "ism" or social order. Hitler did it on a grander scale. So did Genghis Khan and Tamerlane, Alexander the Great and Peter the Hermit.
What is not so easily understood is how a man thinking himself both Christ and Lenin could win praise and gain character references from a Vice President, a Governor, a Senator, a Mayor, a President's wife. Were they all deceived, or were they part of a plot and would they have continued to support Jones if he had not been publicly exposed for having gotten beyond the control of his real masters? Or, were they all, from White House to jungle slave quarters, victims of some kind of mesmerism by magnetism, personal or long-range mechanical? Only one answer seems to fit all the questions; and it is a command: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Such other gods can be men, or man-made, even a 40-ton magnet made in America and shipped to Russia.
