REVIEW:

Let me state first that when I read a book on the subject of
electronic torture/mind control/organized stalking (which
usually accompanies electronic harassment) that I am mainly
interested in HOW WELL THIS BOOK CAN SUPPORT ACTIVISM TO
EXPOSE AND STOP THESE CRIMES.

I'm a retired engineer, not a literary person.  For me, and
for those readers who are targeted by electronic harassment,
which includes "mind control", we need usable information.
I don't comment on the usual literary abilities of the writer,
and this book is definitely intended to convey information,
not be a "literary work."

Overall, with some exceptions, I feel the author, Steve
Lynch, has accomplished conveying useful information quite
well.

Particularly useful is Lynch's ability to SHORTEN each
subject, making sections of this book handy to show to
naysayers - hostile family members, doctors, law enforcement,
politicians.  He has done us a real service by putting this
information into one handy place.

Foreword:

In Cheryl Welsh's foreword, she makes this statement:

  "Most people do not believe the U.S. and Russian
  governments have weapons that can remotely target
  a person anywhere in the world, read their thoughts,
  beam messages to their brain, control every nerve
  in their body and cause great pain."

Bravo to Cheryl for mentioning a very large part of what
today's electronic remote torture weapons can do and do
do.

Cheryl praises the book's thorough research and ample
footnotes, and non-technical writing style, and she laments
that still, this book isn't as "mainstream" as she might
like.  Cheryl acknowledges that life doesn't always go the
way we might like, however, and allows that maybe the "shot
of reality" portrayed in this book can sometimes be a jolt
that shatters preconceived notions.

1.  Of Mice, Men and Big Brother

In this chapter, the author describes Tempest, the remote
PC screen reading technology, the article by Timothy L.
Thomas titled "The Mind Has No Firewall" which appeared
in the U.S. Army War College Quarterly, issue of Spring,
1998.  He mentions the Malech patent, proposing a method
for remotely monitoring and altering brainwaves.

(Remotely monitoring, without implants, has yet to be
demonstrated publicly.  However, remotely altering EEG
activity has been doable for half a century, by pulsing
radio signals, first done by an old medical device named
the Lida machine.)

Author Steve Lynch reports on an article from an online
newsletter, Physics News Update, claiming remote reading
of a person's brainwaves without the usual EEG in-scalp
electrodes.  I couldn't get that 2002 link to display,
however, other researchers online have found articles
about detecting EEG signals without contact electrodes.

Since EEG signals are only a few MICROvolts, and since
the environment is full of even stronger competing
signals, non-contact EEG reading, as far as I've seen
from articles discussed on line, is strictly a very
short range affair.  As a retired professional engineer,
I need definitive proof before I would endorse the
reading of microvolt signals at the distances experienced
by targets of electronic harassment.

It's great Steve Lynch mentions microwave "voice to skull"
technology, by way of U.S. patent 4,858,612, however it's
unfortunate he didn't mention the successful demonstration
of this by Dr. Joseph Sharp, published at a joint meeting
of faculties of psychology and engineering at the
University of Utah in August, 1974.

Patents don't mean the invention was actually
demonstrated, instead, they mean the Patent Office
considers that the invention has potential for benefitting
society.  So reports of actual demonstrations are the most
valuable items to be published, with the patents as
supporting information.  Patents DO demonstrate intent,
and demonstrating intent is also very important.

2.  Behavioral Modification

Chapter 2 outlines the MKULTRA era, the known programs
taking place during the Cold War years of the 50s through
the early 70s.  

It must impress readers who are not aware of electronic
harassment and "mind control" that Delgado's remote
"stimoceiver" (skull-mounted radio receiver with implants
in the subject's brain) was successfully demonstrated;
glad to see that included in the book.

Steve Lynch does an excellent job of condensing into a
clear, easily read section of chapter 2 on brainwashing,
and milestones in the CIA brainwashing research done in
the MKULTRA era.

3.  Science Gone Mad

Chapter 3 does an excellent job of reporting on the MKULTRA
sub-project 68 crimes, the involuntary personality erasure
experiments by "Dr." Ewen Cameron at the Allan Memorial
(psychiatric) Institute at Montreal, Canada.  This is a
very important crime report, as the victims eventually won
a significant victory by suing the CIA, and although it was
an out of court settlement, the CIA had to pay.

Cameron's crimes prove beyond doubt that government DOES
commit horrific crimes.  It can not be denied.

And, Steve Lynch's talent for getting the important points
displayed in brief, easy reading chapters is evident.

4.  Exposure
5.  CIA Legal Strategy

Chapters 4 and 5 expand on the law suit by Cameron's
Montreal victims, titled "Orlikow vs. The United States."

Chances are if Cameron had not chosen the wife of Canadian
Member of Parliament David Orlikow, the outcome might not
have been successful.  It's great when the perpetrators of
these crimes mess up!

6.  Psychotronics

In this book, author Lynch uses "psychotronics" as the
Russian name for electromagnetic mind control weapons.
Readers should keep in mind, if they should look up the
term psychotronics on the web, that there is another,
older meaning, which refers to practitioners which use
NON-energized electronic components, in conjunction
with psychic ability of the operator, to heal.

Personally, I prefer "electronic harassment" as that has
a specific rather than a dual meaning.  None the less,
for conversations with the general public, psychotronics
will do.

Steve Lynch uses quotes from Cheryl Welsh and Lt. Col.
Timothy L. Thomas (article, "The Mind Has No Firewall")
to declare that "psychotronic" attack is very possible.

7.  Political Psychiatry

Chapter 7 presents references showing the Soviet abuse of
psychiatry to control people and suppress dissent.  While
many of today's adults are aware of that, having this
chapter available gives references which an activist can
use to counter statements that psychiatry can't be wrong
or can't be abused.

Electronic harassment and organized stalking targets are
often accused of mental illness.

This chapter also reminds us of the power, potential criminal
power, of neuroleptic or psychotropic drugs.  Again, very
handy to have.  Lots of good footnotes to back up the
information.

Introduction to Part 2

Part 2 switches to, according to the Introduction, "... an
account of an aggressive covert governmental operation and
of that operation's initial target, a man who wound up on
the receiving end of their high-tech electronic barrage."

This story starts in 1992 in the state of Illinois.

The author mentions a prisoner with "anti-Zionist opinions"
as a possible motive for targeting the prisoner.  (More
than simply an "anti-Zionist", the prisoner, quote, "had
been a believer in National Socialism", from which the
term Nazi had sprung.)

I, Eleanor White, listen to many of the shortwave based
programs of a loosely organized educate-the-public actvist
group which are referred to as the U.S. Patriot Movement,
or Truth Movement.  I've been a listener for four years
now, and being retired, I've heard many of their broadcasts.

They have guests from many professions - doctors,
politicians, military officers, journalists, researchers,
and activists against government and corporate crimes.

I bring this up to explain to the reader that there are two
groups which get fairly consistent blame for government
and corporate crime.  One is Zionists, who are people working
to promote the interests of the Israeli government and should
NOT be confused with people of the Jewish faith.  The claim
is that Zionists infiltrate governments everywhere and their
loyalty is the government of Israel, and not the government
where they are actually employed.

(The other group, for background information, is the Roman
Catholic hierarchy, and in particular the Society of Jesus,
also known as the Jesuits.  The Jesuits have been accused
of infiltrating all levels of government everywhere, and
fostering or directly committing serious crimes.)

When reading this book, "Remote Control", this background
might explain why someone could get chosen as a target,
especially if the allegations against the Zionists prove to
be true.  I, Eleanor White, am not a political researcher
and can make no authoritative statements as to the
culpability of the Zionists.

Author Steve Lynch alleges that government now (1992) would
like to "take out" activists they consider a threat, but
now have no need to, as new technology allows them to destroy
people from the inside.

And at the end of chapter 7, Lynch claims there is a "paper
trail of damning documentation" which shows the existence
of a program, which he gives his own name to, "Brainscan."

8.  Targeted

This chapter, and those following, report on the corruption
in the legal system of Illinois, the setting of this story of
"the prisoner" who is the central character.

9.  Nightmare

Though "the prisoner's" story takes place in a prison, as it
unfolds, it is a mirror image of the types of harassment
many people are now reporting as "organized stalking" and
"electronic harassment."

The fundamental weapon used against an organized stalking
target is the LIE.  Lies are continuously spread among those
who associate with the target, isolating and humiliating the
target, depriving the target of all fundamental rights, and
destroying the target's quality of life.

Steve Lynch's story of organized stalking inside an Illinois
prison illustrates organized stalking, along with electronic
harassment perfectly.

My regret is that the unaware public really don't care if
prisoners are lied about, group stalked, or electronically
harassed, and unfortunately, this may reduce the effectiveness
of this book as an activism aid.  But that is a generalization,
and the book is very well written and may well, as Cheryl
Welsh suggests in her foreword, compel the attention of an
open-minded reader.

The title of chapter 9 is very appropriate:  The Nightmare.

The prisoner received forced drugging of psychotropic drugs.
That is indeed a nightmare, one which a number of targets
of organized stalking and electronic harassment have been
forced to endure.

The prisoner had made the "mistake" of asserting that "the
government" was torturing him, reading his mind, mining it
for information about his "Nazi" associates.  That brought
psychotropic drugs.  When you are an organized stalking
and electronic harassment target, you DO NOT mention the
harassment, nor do you mention whom you think is responsible,
if you want even a shred of freedom left.

10. The Special Treatment Center
11. State Terror
12. Against All Odds
13. Triumph of the Will
14. Bouncing Back
15. Damage Control and Hook-up City
16. Back on Track
17. Changes
18. Transfer
19. Research
20. Government Operatives Miscalculate and
    Drop The Ball
21. And Then It Was Gone
22. Wind Chill Factor
23. Orange Crush
24. Sovietization of the Legal System

This short chapter describes a very noteworthy U.S. Supreme
Court decision, Kansas v. Hendricks, which, as described by
the author:

  "That decision gave prosecutors, nation-wide, the green
  light to use PREVENTATIVE DETENTION laws against people
  who are not mentally ill."

Not mentally ill, but who have demonstrated a pre-disposition
to "dangerousness."  And who decides "dangerousness?"  The
psychiatric system, naturally.  In short, Soviet-style
psychiatry.

25. The Best Defense
26. Move/Countermove
27. The Ultimate "Manchurian Candidate"
28. Release
29. "Conquering the Human Mind"
30. Big Brother Is Watching You
31. What Are You Going To Do When They Come For You?

All the above chapters which don't have specific comments
largely relate the story of what it is like to be an
electronic harassment/organized stalking target, in the
special situation of being a prisoner.  Being
institutionalized AND a target is NOT a happy situation,
and the author describes what it is like to face both,
over a period of years.

A reader who visits web sites related to electronic
harassment, organized stalking, and/or "mind control"
which is part of electronic harassment, will see that
there are many people who are heavily harassed and
tortured with the same types of methods.

Appendix 1 - Documents

These documents are mainly photocopies of prison
administrative documents relating to the prisoner's
years of incarceration.  Kind of amazing he was able
to produce such a collection of documents.

Appendix 2 - A Short List of Actual Patents
             Worth Taking a Quick Look At

Patents are indeed helpful with activism - they show
clearly the intent to produce devices capable of highly
invasive manipulation of the brain and nervous system,
involuntarily, at a distance, wirelessly.

OVERALL:

Overall, I would call this an interesting book, which
provides quite a bit of well-referenced information in
a single paperback volume.  Maybe a story book format
has more persuasive value for some people, and the bulk
of this book is a story.

There is some chance it may help persuade, say, a semi-
open-minded family member that what a target has to say
should at the very least not be dismissed.  That is a
very important first step.
