The Vatican has been shrouded in mystery and intrigue for centuries. Except for the
highest Cardinals and Bishops, the public and even members of the priesthood are not
privy to the inner workings of the Church. It is rumored that there are in the secret
archives centuriesold artifacts that, if exposed, could embarrass the standardbearers of
the faith. Searching for truth has always been the Conspiracy Journal's main goal.With

If Harlan Girard is crazy, he doesn't act the

Girard's description of himself is matteroffact, until he explains what's in the bag:
documents he believes prove that the government is attempting to control his mind. He
carriesthatblack,weatheredbageverywherehegoes."EverytimeIgoout,I'mprepared

The bag aside, Girard appears intelligent and coherent. At a table in front of Dunkin'
Donuts inside the train station, Girard opens the bag and pulls out a thick stack of
documents,carefullylabeledandsortedwithyellowstickynotesbearingneatblockprint.
Thedocumentsareanauthenticlookingmixofnewsstories,articlesculledfrommilitary

"It'sundeniablethatthetechnologyexists,"Girardsays,"butifyougotothepoliceand
say,'I'mhearingvoices,'they'regoingtolockyouupforpsychiatricevaluation."
Thethingthat'smissingfromhisbagthelackofwhichmakesithardtoproveheisn't
crazy is even a single document that would buttress the implausible notion that the
government is currently targeting a large group of American citizens with mindcontrol
technology. The only direct evidence for that, Girard admits, lies with alleged victims
suchashimself.
Andofthose,therearemany.

"It's five after 9," says Robinson, with the sweetly reasonable intonation of a latenight
radiohost."Maybeweshouldgoaheadandstart."
The idea of a group of people convinced they are 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. "Tinfoil hat," says Wikipedia, has
become "a popular stereotype and term of derision the phrase serves as a byword for
paranoiaandisassociatedwithconspiracytheorists."
In2005,agroupofMITstudentsconductedaformalstudyusingaluminumfoilandradio

signals.Ofcourse,thetechstudentsmeantthestudyasajoke.
But during the Saturday conference call, the subject of aluminum foil is deadly serious.

For all the scorn, the ranks of victims or people who believe they are victims are

Girard sought advice from this thengirlfriend, a practicing psychologist, whom he
declines to identify. He says she told him, "Nobody can become psychotic in their late
40s." She said he didn't seem to manifest other symptoms of psychotic behavior he
dressed well, paid his bills and, besides his claims of surveillance, which sounded
paranoid, he behaved normally. "People who are psychotic are socially isolated," he
recallshersaying.

Afterafewmonths,Girardsays,theharassmentabruptlystopped.Buttherespitedidn't
last. In 1984, appropriately enough, things got seriously weird. He'd left his real estate
careertoreturntoschoolattheUniversityofPennsylvania,wherehewasstudyingfora
master's degree in landscape architecture. He harbored dreams of designing parks and
public spaces. Then, he says, he began to hear voices. Girard could distinguish several
differentmalevoices,whichcamecompletewithamentalimageofhowthevoiceswere

So, instead of becoming a landscape architect, Girard began a fulltime investigation of
what was happening to him, often traveling to Washington in pursuit of government
documents relating to mind control. He put an ad in a magazine seeking other victims.

HowmuchoftheresearchGirardciteschecksout?
Concerns about microwaves and mind control date to the 1960s, when the U.S.
government discovered that its embassy in Moscow was being bombarded by lowlevel
electromagnetic radiation. In 1965, according to declassified Defense Department
documents, the Pentagon, at the behest of the White House, launched Project Pandora,
topsecret research to explore the behavioral and biological effects of lowlevel
microwaves. For approximately four years, the Pentagon conducted secret research:
zapping monkeys exposing unwitting sailors to microwave radiation and conducting a
host of other unusual experiments (a subproject of Project Pandora was titled Project
Bizarre). The results were mixed, and the program was plagued by disagreements and
scientificsquabbles.The"Moscowsignal,"asitwascalled,waseventuallyattributedto
eavesdropping,notmindcontrol,andPandoraendedin1970.Andwithit,themilitary's
research into socalled nonthermal microwave effects seemed to die out, at least in the
unclassifiedrealm.

The official U.S. Air Force position is that there are no nonthermal effects of
microwaves. Yet Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center,
tagged microwave attacks against the human brain as part of future warfare in a 2001
presentation to the National Defense Industrial Association about "Future Strategic
Issues."
"That work is exceedingly sensitive" and unlikely to be reported in any unclassified
documents,hesays.
Meanwhile,themilitary'suseofweaponsthatemployelectromagneticradiationtocreate
painiswellknown,asaresomeofthelimitationsofsuchweapons.In2001,thePentagon

declassifiedoneelementofthisresearch:theActiveDenialSystem,aweaponthatuses
electromagnetic radiation to heat skin and create an intense burning sensation. So, yes,
there is technology designed to beam painful invisible rays at humans, but the weapon
seems to fall far short of what could account for many of the TIs' symptoms. While its
exact range is classified, Doug Beason, an expert in directedenergy weapons, puts it at
about 700 meters, and the beam cannot penetrate a number of materials, such as
aluminum.Consideringthesizeofthefullscaleweapon,whichresemblesasatellitedish,
and its operational limitations, the ability of the government or anyone else to shoot

But,giventhehistoryofAmerica'sclandestineresearch,it'sreasonabletoassumethatif
the defense establishment could develop mindcontrol or longdistance ray weapons, it
almostcertainlywould.And,oncedeveloped,thepossibilitythattheymightbetestedon

Girard,forhispart,believestheseweaponswerenotonlydevelopedbutwerealsotested

Not that Girard thinks his selection was totally random: He believes he was targeted
becauseofadisparagingremarkhemadetoaRepublicanfundraiseraboutGeorgeH.W.

"One night I was going to bed the usual drivel was going on," he says. "The constant
streamofdrivel.Iwasjustabouttogotobed,andavoicesays:'Mr.Girard,doyouknow
who was in our studio with us? That was George Bush, vice president of the United
States.'"
Girard's story, however strange, reflects what TIs around the world report: a chance
encounter with a government agency or official, followed by surveillance and gang
stalking,andthen,inmanycases,voices,andpainsimilartoelectricshocks.Someinthe

however,reporttheattacksintheformofsexualstimulation,includingoneTIwhoclaims

Gloria Naylor, a renowned African American writer, seems to defy many of the
stereotypes of someone who believes in mind control. A winner of the National Book
Award, Naylor is best known for her acclaimed novel, The Women of Brewster Place,
which described a group of women living in a poor urban neighborhood and was later
madeintoaminiseriesbyOprahWinfrey.
But in 2005, she published a lesserknown work, 1996, a semiautobiographical book
describing her experience as a TI. "I didn't want to tell this story. It's going to take
courage.PerhapsmorecouragethanIpossess,butthey'veleftmenoalternatives,"Naylor
writesatthebeginningofherbook."Iaminabattleformymind.IfIstopnow,they'll
have won, and I will lose myself." The book is coherent, if hard to believe. It's also
markedbydisturbingpassagesdescribinghowJewishAmericanagentswereresponsible
forNaylor'ssurveillance."Ofthemanycarsthatkeptcomingandgoingdownmyroad,
mostweredrivenbyJews,"shewritesinthebook.Whenaskedaboutthatpassageina
recent interview, she defended her logic: Being from New York, she claimed, she can
recognizeJews.
Naylor lives on a quiet street in Brooklyn in a majestic brownstone with an interior
featuring intricate woodwork and tasteful decorations that attest to a successful literary
career. She speaks about her situation calmly, occasionally laughing at her own
predicament and her struggle with what she originally thought was mental illness. "I
would observe myself," she explains. "I would lie in bed while the conversations were
goingon,andI'dask:Maybeitisschizophrenia?"
Like Girard, Naylor describes what she calls "street theater" incidents that might be

Some TIs, such as Ed Moore, a young medical doctor, take a slightly more skeptical

What is it that brings someone, even an intelligent person, to ascribe the experience of
hearingdisembodiedvoicestogovernmentweapons?
In her book, Abducted, Harvard psychologist Susan Clancy examines a group that has
striking parallels to the TIs: people who believe they've been kidnapped by aliens. The
similaritiesareoftenuncanny:Wouldbeabducteesdescribestrangepains,andfeelingsof
being watched or targeted. And although the alleged abductees don't generally have
auditory hallucinations, they do sometimes believe that their thoughts are controlled by
aliens,orthatthey'vebeenimplantedwithadvancedtechnology.
(On the online forum, some TIs posted vociferous objections to the parallel, concerned
that the public finds UFOs even weirder than mind control. "It will keep us all
marginalizedanddiscredited,"onegriped.)
Clancyarguesthatthemainreasonpeoplebelievethey'vebeenabductedbyaliensisthat
itprovidesthemwithacompellingnarrativetoexplaintheirperceptionthatstrangethings
havehappenedtothem,suchasmarksontheirbodies(marksotherswouldsimplydismiss
asbruises),stimulationtotheirsexualorgans(astheTIsdescribe)orfeelingsofparanoia.
"It's not just an explanation for your problems it's a source of meaning for your life,"
Clancysays.
In the case of TIs, mindcontrol weapons are an explanation for the voices they hear in
theirhead.SocratesheardavoiceandthoughtitwasademonJoanofArcheardvoices
from God. As one TI noted in an email: "Each person undergoing this harassment is
lookingforthesolutiontotheproblem.Eachpersonanalyzesitthroughhisorherown
particular spectrum of beliefs. If you are a scientificminded person, then you will
probably analyze the situation from that perspective and conclude it must be done with

For many hundreds of years, humankind wondered what the far side of the Moon was
like.Wasitsimilartothefamiliarnearside?Wasitdifferent?Whatsecretsdidithold?
The mystery began to be revealed in 1959 when the Soviet Unions Luna 3 spacecraft
flew to the far side of the Moon and photographed it for the first time. These first
photographswerecrudeandgrainy,butseemedtoshowalandasbleakandlifelessasthe

Subsequent space probes, such as the Lunar Orbiter 4, succeeded in photographing the
surface of the far side in much greater detail in 1967. Then in 1968, astronauts aboard
Apollo 8, which circled the Moon in preparation for the Apollo 11 landing, saw the far

One of the most fascinating pieces of evidence for alien bases on the far side of the
MooncomesfrompsychicandremoteviewerIngoSwann.Swann,whowasinstrumental
increatingtheUSgovernmentsremoteviewingprograminthe1970s,isoneofthemost
respectedremoteviewersintheworld.
The opinion that he is perhaps the best remote viewer around is held by other remote
viewers, due to his many astonishing successes. In 1973, for example, while remote
viewing Jupiter, Swann reported that the giant gas planet had rings. This fact was
unknowntoastronomersatthetime,butwasconfirmedbyVoyager1in1979.
InanarticlecalledTotheMoonandBack,WithLoveforAmericanChronicle,writer
Gary S. Bekkum recounts Swanns remote viewing session about the Moon, an event
reportedinSwannsown1998selfpublishedwork,Penetration.
SwannwasaskedtoremoteviewseveraltargetsbyamannamedAxelrod,workingfor
theUSgovernment.
AxelrodtaskedIngowithaseriesofmooncoordinates,writesBekkum.Unknownto
Swann, the targeted moon coordinates, about ten different locations, would bring him

Swann'saw'withhismind'seyecratersindarkness,anddecidedthathemustbeseeing

achievingpsychic'contact'withthelunarsurface,Swannfirstcameuponwhatlookedlike

intelligentactivityandstructuresonthemoon.
In the depths of a crater he viewed a green, dusty haze lit by banks of artificial lights

spying on the alien moon base because the extraterrestrials had been less than friendly
aboutconventionalhumancuriosity.
WhenIngosensedthathehadbeenpsychically'spotted'bytwoofthehumanoidlooking

And we apparently have plans to do so. In March, 2006, NASA announced its plans to
