subject, date, time, and station code, and are then forwarded to agencies via PLATFORM, the
global nervous system separate from the Internet. Once analyzed, the message and analysis are
classified MORAY (secret), SPOKE (more secret), UMBRA (top secret), GAMMA (Russian
intercepts), and DRUID (for non-UKUSA parties).
Five Eyes is the backbone of UKUSA Atlantic Alliance dominance. Given that the U.S. and
UK view commercial espionage as a function of national security, Five Eyes radons eavesdrop
on business as well as political conversations. In the U.S., all SIGINT tending toward business is
directed to the National Economic Council, which then feeds the intelligence to select
corporations. Quibble over the presence of Five Eyes and you may be answering to the NSA, or
dead.

Give me the money and three months, and I’ll be able to affect the behavior of eighty percent of
the people in this town without their knowing it.
— Dr. Elizabeth Rauscher, Director of Tecnic Research Laboratory, San Leandro, California,
1979–1988

The field was everywhere. Invisible, omnipresent, all-pervasive. A gigantic network of towers
enmeshing the entire country emitted radiation around the clock. It purged tens of millions of
souls of any doubts they might have about the All-Powerful Creators’ words and deeds. The
Creators controlled the minds and energy of millions. They inculcated in people an acceptance
of the repugnant ideas of violence and aggression; they could compel these millions to kill one
another in the name of anything they pleased; they could, should the whim strike them, stir up a
mass epidemic of suicides. Nothing was beyond their control.
— Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, Prisoners of Power, 1969

When nifty consumer inventions like the cell phone are rolled out, the public rarely inquires if
the device owes its existence to the military’s electromagnetic learning curve. Mobile phones
were used by military field officers and elite industrialists for half a century before they were
made available to the public. Now, they are so ubiquitous that it’s difficult to recall life without
them. Approved for commercial use in 1983, they were big, cumbersome, and expensive. Over
the decades they have gotten smaller, more compact, and faster in order to keep pace with the
Internet.
But why the long wait on the part of the military-industrial complex, if profit is the sole
motive? To assume that consumer convenience and profit drive agendas like total population
surveillance and containment is shortsighted, if not ingenuous.
From the Russian Woodpecker to HAARP, from power lines to GWEN towers, decades of
computation and experimentation have gone into mapping out and constructing an infrastructure
