Of course, HR2977 was not allowed to see the light of day because exotic “nonlethal”
weapons were exactly what were being “tested” for military peace support operations (PSO)
—“peacemaking, peace enforcement and peace building” being Orwellian for the covert
technocracy that would supplant human society in the name of progress.
Technocracy means rule by technology. The term was born in 1932 with the Technocracy,
Inc. movement. Inspired by IBM (then collaborating with the Nazis), geoscientist M. King
Hubbert (1903–1989) sought to measure and profile energy production, conversion, flow of
goods and services, and consumption. Patrick Wood, author of Technocracy Rising: The Trojan
Horse of Global Transformation (2015), puts it more succinctly: “Technocracy is a totalitarian
system of government where scientists, engineers and technicians monitor and control all facets
of personal and civic life—economic, social and political.” 1
In 1970, geostrategist Zbigniew Brzezinski—adviser to four administrations, including the
Obama administration—prophesied the advent of a “technetronic age”:
Another threat, less overt but no less basic, confronts liberal democracy. More directly linked to the impact of
technology, it involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled and directed society. Such a society would be
dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior scientific knowhow.
Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by
using the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and
control. Under such circumstances, the scientific and technological momentum of the country would not be reversed
but would actually feed on the situation it exploits. . .The traditionally democratic American society could, because of
its fascination with technical efficiency, become an extremely controlled society, and its humane and individualistic
2
qualities would thereby be lost . . .
In 1983, Samuel Koslov—at one time involved in the Moscow Signal that eventually became
Project Pandora (1965–70)—opened the classified Conference on Nonlinear Electrodynamics in
Biological Systems at Johns Hopkins University by comparing the use of “external electric
fields” to what “faced the physics community in 1939 when the long-time predicted
fissionability of the nucleus was actually demonstrated”—meaning the secret Manhattan Project
that produced the atomic bomb and inducted humanity into the Nuclear Age. 3
Koslov was right. The rise of “nonlethal” weapons in the 1990s was pivotal to the
4
ascendancy of the technocracy. “Penguin” Col. John B. Alexander, author of the 1980 article
“The New Mental Battlefield” (Military Review, December 1980), eventually became the Los
Alamos National Laboratories kingpin of nonlethal weapons for incremental aggression, peace
enforcement, weaponized electromagnetic fields, chemical and biological “anti-terrorism,” high-
powered microwave (HPM) technology, fracture and dynamic behavior, biotechnology, and
acoustic technologies like synthetic brain-computer interface (BCI). Quiet, unseen weapons for a
quiet, unseen war against human society.
In 1993, Igor Smirnov of the Moscow Institute of Psycho-Correction at Moscow Medical
Academy gave closed session presentations for the National Academy of Sciences’ 21st Century
Army Technologies panel to FBI, CIA, DIA, DARPA, military contractor corporate executives,
National Institutes of Health, and National Institute of Mental Health regarding the latest
incarnations of the LIDA acoustic psycho-correction device able to remotely implant thoughts in
5
minds, even over the telephone. Smirnov taught attendees how to use the electroencephalograph
(EEG) to remotely measure brainwaves, then demonstrated the computer software that could
create an accurate brain map from those measurements, after which he sent a synthetic telepathy
