The ESP of ESPionage The ESPionage By understanding how biophysical fields operate, we can learn to develop our innate telepathic and telekinetic abilities. But it all takes time and practice, and the military has a head start! Part 2 hroughout recorded history, mind-reading has been a recognised, albeit fleeting, phenomenon. We have all had moments where we've known what was in anoth- er person's mind, though the telepathic episodes have been transient and non- reproducible. As a scientist, I have been researching the biological basis of telepathy and extra-sensory perception (ESP) in an attempt to understand the phenomena. The military has long been interested in ESP, for the ability to read the enemy's minds has tremendous strategic and tactical value. However, the military experiments that were undertaken within the USA to demonstrate ESP and telepathy had an ulterior intent which has never been revealed. In military jargon, telepathy is referred to as "scanning". Pathetic snippets of information about ESP phenomena filter into the scientific commu- nity, but the leading parapsychological institutes in the UK and Europe are staffed by nothing more than glorified social scientists who mistakenly think psychology will open up ESP—if it exists at all—to scientific analysis. While telepathy and ESP, like UFOs, do not exist as far as the Western scientific com- munity is concerned, insiders in the US secret government have long known that these phenomena are real, while in Russia the military uses of telepathy and ESP have been well-researched.’ Development and deployment of telepathic weapons systems have been going on since the 1960s. However, US Government agencies' failure to duplicate Russian advances in the biophysical field, prompted them to develop synthetic telepathy. This is the electronic scanning of a target's brain by monitoring its electromagnetic (EM) emissions and using, among other things, the P300 brainwaves (as measured on an EEG) to read that person's subvocalised thoughts.’ For the last five years the Japanese corporation Sony has ploughed millions of yen into researching ESP and telepathy.* So, if these phenomena do not exist, why are the big players spending fortunes on research, and why is all the meaningful research classified? The answer is that 'the powers that be’ wish to use this ESP research for military purposes and for civilian control. As an independent researcher in the field, I have no such aims. LANGUAGE ACQUISITION The following is a cutting-edge analysis of how telepathy and ESP might work. To begin my story of the scientific basis of telepathy and ESP, I choose to start the discussion with the more prosaic subject of language. Dr Noam Chomsky, a leading authority on language, has put forward the idea that "the language organ was not an adaptation but...a mystery, or a hopeful monster. It was something that perhaps would be illuminated some day by physics, but not by biology." Chomsky proposed that the structure of language is primarily fixed in the form of innately specified rules, and all the human baby does to learn language is to reroute a few neuronal pathways for speaking Spanish rather than English, for example. According to Chomsky, the baby is not a general problem-solver who must learn all the aspects of lan- guage from scratch. Instead, the baby is born with the equipment to express language and merely has to rule out a few possible neuronal pathways and rule in a few others. The great man goes further by stating that it is easy for even 'slow' children to learn a lan- guage. Actually, they are not really learning anything. A few developmental triggers set the language-acquisition process and a few environmental factors guide the process into the shaping of whatever country's language is spoken; for example, the form of speaking English with an Australian accent.* It seems that babies are born with the ability to speak. Given the correct stimulus, this innate characteristic just develops. by Turan Rifat © 1996 Paranormal Management Systems PO Box 2749 Brighton, Sussex BN2 2DR, UK Telephone: +44 (0)1273 690424 Web site address: http://www. fastnet.co.uk./pms Paranormal Management Systems PO Box 2749 Brighton, Sussex BN2 2DR, UK Telephone: +44 (0)1273 690424 Web site address: http://www. fastnet.co.uk./pms NEXUS © 11 THE BIOLOGICAL BASIS OF TELEPATHY by Turan Rifat © 1996 DECEMBER 1996 - JANUARY 1997
