A Google search, however, turns up no mention of mind control
experiments, of course, but there is plenty of reference to the “Deep
Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory… 7,000 feet under Butt
Mountain†in Blacksburg.
Part of the AMADEUS Project (Advanced
Manipulation for Deep Underwater Sampling), funded by the European
Commission (i.e., the executive body of the one-world European Union),
the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory,
according to The Pit Bulletin
(the newsletter of the Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering at
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University), is designed for
“military needs, ranging from unique designs for underground sporting
arenas to storing various types of waste materials…. the AMADEUS team
feel that the expanding world population is creating a demand for
additional types of underground construction.†As well, an “expanding
world population†may call for the development of “perfect weaponsâ€
long sought by DARPA and the Pentagon, including avian influenza H5N1,
an area of research at VT,
according to Virginia Tech News
(a Google reference points to a page that currently produces an SQL
error). “If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth
as a killer virus to lower human population levels,â€
Prince Phillip.
Finally, a resume posted on the VT Computer Science Department website by
Robert G. Ball notes
grants awarded to the university by ARDA/DTO, short for Advanced
Research and Development Activity, Disruptive Technology Office. “ARDA
was created in 1998 after the model of the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA) by the Director of Central Intelligence and the
Department of Defense, and took responsibility for funding some of
DARPA’s projects,â€
explains Wikipedia.
“There has been speculation that the DTO is continuing research efforts
started under the Total Information Awareness program (TIA) in DARPA’s
Information Awareness Office (IAO)…. Although ARDA’s budget is
presumably classified as part of the intelligence budget, the New York
Times quoted an unnamed former government official saying the agency
spent about $100 million a year in 2003. The Associated Press reports
that ARDA had a staff of only eight in 2004.†Early last year,
I reported that DTO was to be run by John Negroponte (see my TIA “Disruptive Technology†Subverting Bill of Rights).
Of
course, all of this secret and not so secret activity on the Virginia
Tech campus and environs is not definitive evidence Cho Seung-Hui was a
government produced mind-control assassin. However, it does indicate VT
serves as a hub for experimental and prototype DoD technologies.
It
is no secret the Pentagon has had a keen interest in electromagnetic
weapons for some time. “Electronic mind-control research is not new,â€
CNN reported in 1985. “A scientific milestone in this area came in the
1960s when Dr. Jose Delgado demonstrated remote control over a charging
bull.†Military affairs specialist Chuck DeCaro told CNN: a “scientist,
who did not want his identity revealed … employed by the U.S.
Government … has done secret RF weapons research. He believes that
tests done with the [Soviet developed] Lida and similar machines prove
that humans are susceptible to remote alterations of mood and
awareness…. Certain kinds of weak electromagnetic signals work exactly
like drugs, and so the promise is that anything you can do with drugs
you could do with the right electromagnetic signal.†Dr. Robert Becker,
a pioneer in the field of bioeffects of electromagnetism, added: “As
far as I’m concerned, the potential that this has for producing a
direct psychoactive effect upon the total American population is there,
has never been disproven.â€
The late professor
Dr. Gerhard Beyer
of Virginia Polytechnic Institute at Virginia Tech broke a significant
part of the “magnetic code,†and no doubt this was of interest to DARPA
and the Pentagon.
