I’m still pretty sure that they’re mostly paranoid schizophrenics, but this is more or less what “targeted individuals” claim is being done to them. Technology makes it harder and harder to reach delusional people, when their delusions become technically possible. How bizarre!

The problem is that once you walked over the line into psychosis, it is extremely difficult to come back to “normal reality”. Human’s psycho is very fragile thing. The weaponry basically creates an army of people who lost the boundaries of normalcy. It is not good....

  Good point, and that’s definitely why early intervention and prevention is the preferred modality for treatment of psychosis. This is weaponizing the opposite of that, for “crowd control” I guess.

  It's actually surprisingly easy to slip back and forth between psychosis and not. Which is the problem as you can't subjectivity tell one from the other.

On the other hand, the already disturbed could be far more resilient to this actually being used as they already knew that this was going on and were hearing voices anyway.

I remember around 2004 walking around NYC subway you'd see the usual guy talking to himself -- but wait, no -- he was on a cellphone! That was a funny transition.

There's a fair amount of talk on this sort of thing on /r/conspiracy, around stories like the latest school shooter, on various antidepressants, being well known to authorities, numerous calls to law enforcement but no one will do anything. I have no idea if any of it is true, but this sort of thing being in the news doesn't cool speculation either.

If you're mentally healthy, and the government is genuinely beaming voices in your ears, what happens if you take antipsychotics?

  That's when you see through the grand illusion and achieve total masterful ascendency. But not before committing a number of felonies.

I had the same though when I first read about the microwave auditory effect: "In his experiments, the subjects were discovered to be able to hear appropriately pulsed microwave radiation, from a distance of a few inches to hundreds of feet from the transmitter. [...] According to Frey, the induced sounds were described as 'a buzz, clicking, hiss, or knocking, depending on several transmitter parameters, i.e., pulse width and pulse-repetition rate'. By changing transmitter parameters, Frey was able to induce the 'perception of severe buffeting of the head, without such apparent vestibular symptoms as dizziness or nausea'." "In 1975, an article by neuropsychologist Don Justesen discussing radiation impacts on human perceptions referred to an experiment by Joseph Sharp and Mark Grove at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research during which Sharp and Grove reportedly were able to recognize 9 out of 10 words transmitted by 'voice modulated microwaves'." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect
