Electronic harassment, or psychotronic torture, or electromagnetic torture describes either a conspiracy theory or an unusual mental illness, about either the unlawful use (most oftenly ascribed to rogue government officials) of exotic energy weapons to harass, torture, harm and forcedly alter a victim's behaviour unnoticed, or a condition of severe delusional belief systems and schizophrenia.

Since decades ago, the alleged victims around the world claim their truthfulness, while mental health professionals address their expertise according to their technical knowledge often ending the debate in what looks as an embarrassing empasse.

Internet communities and psychological diagnoses

There are extensive online support networks and numerous websites maintained by people fearing mind control. Psychologist Vaughan Bell, whose study was published in the journal Psychopathology, along with other mental health professionals, state that reports of ‘mind control experiences’ (MCEs) on self-published web pages are "highly likely to be influenced by delusional beliefs, although he also says it does not suggest all people participating in mind-control sites are delusional, and that a firm diagnosis of psychosis could only be done in person.

Mental health professionals as Palm Springs psychiatrist Alan Drucker have identified evidence of auditory hallucinations, delusional disorders or other mental illnesses in online communities supporting those who claim to be targeted., and other psychologists are divided over whether such sites negatively reinforce mental troubles or act as a form of group cognitive therapy.

The claims

The claims mostly point fingers to declassified official documents of the infamous 1950s mind control projects such as Project MKUltra, to a pletora of public patents issued on the subject of electromagnetic devices capable of affecting the nervous system, and to unequivocal pieces of information referring to psychotronic wars, experiments and research, which allegedly prove their claims are real, not products of delusions. "Yet if you go to the police and say 'I'm hearing voices', they're going to lock you up for psychiatric evaluation". To be noted is that more than a few victims were put on anti-psychotic drugs without obtaining any benefits whatsoever: the voices did not stop.

Another interesting piece of information is the following study conducted on behalf of the European Parliament in June 2000, titled "Crowd Control Technologies (An appraisal of technologies for political control)".

The most controversial 'non-lethal' crowd control and anti-materiel technology proposed by the US are so called Radio Frequency or Directed Energy Weapons that can allegedly manipulate human behaviour in a variety of unusual ways. Some microwave systems have been proposed which can raise body temperature to between 105 to 107 degrees F, to provide a disabling effect in a manner based on the microwave cooker principle. However, the greatest concern is with systems which can directly interact with the human nervous system. There are many reports on so called psychotronic weapons which are beyond the brief of this study but one comment can be made. The research undertaken todate both in the US and in Russia can be divided into two related areas: (i) individual mind control and (ii) crowd control. That the US has undertaken a variety of mind control programmes in the past such as MkULTRA and MkDELTA is a matter of public record and those using electromagnetic radiation such as PANDORA have been the focus of researchers in para-politics for many years. More recently, authors such as Begich and Roderick have alleged significant breakthroughs in the ability of military high frequency electromagnetic technologies to manipulate human behaviour.

Victims make use of exotic lexicon such as "voice to skull" (abbreviated as "V2K"), official military designation for the microwave auditory effect, denoting weapons that beam voices or sounds into the head, "Targeted Individuals" (abbreviated as "TIs") to describe themselves, 'gang stalking' to refer to the fact they believe they're being followed and harassment by strangers, neighbours or colleagues who work for the government. The alleged victims are aware that the idea of "being targeted by weapons that can invade their minds has become a cultural joke, shorthanded by the image of solitary lunatics wearing tinfoil hats to deflect invisible mind beams"..

The alleged victims of Electronic harassment claim that schizophrenia-like voice hearing, severe psychologycal violence and pain all over their bodies are produced by Directed-energy weapons, and believe government is probing and controlling their minds with mind-control technology, along with other specific symptoms. A victim from California conducted interviews narrowing the symptoms down to several major areas: 'ringing in the ears', 'manipulation of body parts", 'hearing voices', 'piercing sensation on skin', 'sinus problems' and 'sexual attacks'.. in fact, many report the sensation of having their genitalia manipulated.. both male and female TIs report a variety of 'attacks' to their sexual organs, some in the form of sexual stimulation, including one TI who claims he dropped out of the seminary after constant sexual stimulation by directed-energy weapons". A TI in San Diego says many women among the TIs suffer from attacks to their sexual organs but are often embarrassed to talk about it with outsiders..

Thanks to the internet, people believing the government is beaming voices into their heads and living up with social isolation, "now have discovered hundreds, possibly thousands, of others just like them all over the world. Web sites dedicated to electronic harassment and gang stalking have popped up in India, China, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Russia and elsewhere. Victims begun to host support meetings in major cities, and prompt possible legal strategies for outlawing mind control".

Legislative interventions

Government representatives showed some support to the victims, with democratic Dennis Kucinich presenting a bill at the United States Congress advocating the outlaw of "weapons and weapon systems capable of inflicting death or injury on, or damaging or destroying, a person (or the biological life, bodily health, mental health, or physical and economic well-being of a person) using radiation, electromagnetic, psychotronic, sonic, laser, or other energies directed at individual persons or targeted populations for the purpose of information war, mood management, or mind control of such persons or populations". Yet this bill was later dropped.

Also republican Jim Guest stepped foward "calling for an investigation into the claims of those who say they are being tortured by mind control". In his own words: "I’ve had enough calls, some from credible people — professors — being targeted by nonlethal weapons", adding that nothing came of his request for a legislative investigation. He added: "I believe there are people who have been targeted by this. With this equipment, you have to test it on somebody to see if it works."

Incidents

In recent years there have been a number of violent incidents involving individuals arguing they believe they are tormented victims of electronic harassment. Government authorities have made official statements dismissing such beliefs as being due to mental issues and delusions in connection with the deadly incidents associated.

The Washington Navy Yard shooting occurred on September 16, 2013, when lone gunman Aaron Alexis fatally shot twelve people and injured three others in a mass shooting at the headquarters of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) inside the Washington Navy Yard in Southeast Washington, D.C.. The attack, which took place in the Navy Yard's Building 197, began around 8:20 a.m. EDT and ended when Alexis was killed by police around 9:20 a.m. EDT. After the Navy Yard shooting, the media speculated that Alexis had appeared to be suffering from mental illness. The media reported that Alexis had filed a police report in Rhode Island on August 2, 2013, in which he claimed to be the victim of harassment and that he was hearing voices in his head. According to an FBI official after the shooting, Alexis was under "the delusional belief that he was being controlled or influenced by extremely low frequency electromagnetic waves". A message later obtained by federal authorities from Alexis' personal computing devices said, "Ultra low frequency attack is what I've been subject to for the last 3 months. And to be perfectly honest, that is what has driven me to this" On August 4, 2013, naval police were called to Alexis' hotel at Naval Station Newport and found that he had "taken apart his bed, believing someone was hiding under it, and observed that Alexis had taped a microphone to the ceiling to record the voices of people that were following him". At the time of the incident, he was working for the contractor at the base.

On November 20, 2014, a gunman, identified as 31-year-old Myron May, who graduated in 2005, shot an employee and two students at the Strozier Library at his university shortly after midnight. He was a lawyer and an alumnus of the university, who was obsessed with psychotronics conspiracy theories and believed that the U.S. government was responsible for his destabilized condition. He was fatally shot by prompting police officers counterfire in front of the library. After the shooting, it was revealed that May had mailed a total of ten packages to friends throughout the country beforehand in order to draw attention on the 'targeted individuals' issue. Before the attack, May shared on Facebook a Google search with the words “Targeted individuals” typed into the search box. He had also posted a video clip from the television show Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura with a man named Robert Duncan who claimed to have helped "put together the technology that allows the government to transmit thoughts and voices into the heads of Americans". May comments on that same post: "Is our government violating ordinary citizens' rights? Unfortunately, the answer is Yes! See inside this video.". "His social media activity revealed that he believed he was a 'targeted individual', the term used by people who think the government and shadowy gangs are attacking them with mind control and invisible, remote weapons.In a series of communications and phone calls, May told his friends he believed "stalkers" were harassing him from the government, and a "direct-energy weapon" was being used to hurt and torture him. He told to expect packages that would "expose" the conspiracy that tormented all 'targeted individuals'. Such packeges revealed a few properly written documents meant to be addressed at various authorities in a position to be of any help, plus a couple of hours of video footage of himself explaining his imminent tragic actions he decided to undertake. His video footage is now available on Youtube and elesewhere online.
