If this was a prank, it was a pretty egregious violation of FOI policy! If only because you expect to get source material, after all you want authenticated copies of documents not falsified or fictional material.

My guess is that this is a conspiracy being propagated by the extremists, and that's why it ended up in the file, but the description and source of the document was lost or redacted.

  The site http://www.raven1.net/ http://www.raven1.net/ is for sale, but we see "Related Links: Subliminal hypnosis tapes Mind Control Pictures to Color". From https://web.archive.org/web/*/www.raven1.net https://web.archive.org/web/*/www.raven1.net : "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine." But https://archive.is/www.raven1.net https://archive.is/www.raven1.net has some snapshots. It was active from ~2000 to ~2015. And I gather that it contained FOIA stuff from the NSA.[0] So this is maybe old FOIA stuff, collected by some agency, recycled through a new FOIA request. Plus conspiracy theory, perhaps. But you know, MK-ULTRA turned out to be a real thing. 0) http://www.rense.com/general/restrictions.htm http://www.rense.com/general/restrictions.htm

Since the file name refers to EM effects, perhaps this got mixed in with documents regarding the alleged EM attacks on diplomatic personnel in Havana?

Now, if I were a cult leader (or fascist politician) and wanted some materials to convince my followers to give up mobile phones and other "fake news" spreading devices that would poison a believer's mind, this would be... godsend... (Jokes aside, "government accidentally" parts is scary, somebody seems to be playing a pretty dangerous mass manipulation long-game here. Like in "let's 'leak' these to a journalist, the use this to cause hysteria about Y later when we need Z".)
