Systems of Surveillance
An information resource
created in conjunction with
Revelations of Secret Surveillance
In memory of Jerzy Witold Rózycki, Piotr Smolenski, Jan Gralinski, and François Lane, Polish codebreakers working on deconstructing the Enigma and the French officer accompanying them, who died when the ship carrying them between France and Algeria went down on January 9 1942, the exact day I was born.
.......................... Judy Malloy
The example of dedicated investigation and code breaking -- set by many men and women who were intelligence agents in World War II -- no longer seems the norm in an intelligence agency culture where a climate is condoned in which the lives of people who make art or speak for peace, for the environment, and for the rights of workers are spied on.
At the same time, technologies of surveillance and control, such as brain scanning, mind-body control, wireless remote control, and high-power ultrasound have been developed with government funds in semi-secret. The references set forth here look at the potential for technology-mediated repression in a climate of intelligence agency and corporate mercenary stalking of civilian populations.

"Nonlethal Weapons"
John B. Alexander, "Acoustics", in Future War, Non-Lethal Weapons in
Twenty-First Century Warfare, NY, Thomas Dunne Books, 1999. pp. 95-102
Details the use of high-power ultrasound weapons on humans and the built environment. These
weapons, developed in this country by Scientific Applications and Research Associates (SARA) in
California, among others, have the capacity to cause pain, to cause inattention, sleepiness,
and fatigue, to disrupt mental reasoning. PPS (Pulsed Periodic Stimuli) weapons also
developed at SARA according to Alexander, are capable of causing neurophysiological distress
and perceptual disorientation. Ultrasound can also weaken structures and potentially cause
objects to move.

and because it lists technologies, such neuro-implants -- described as "Computer implants
into the brain which allow for behavioral modification and control" -- as "nonlethal weapons",
whereas the research objectives for implants are often differently stated.Among the other nonlethal weapons it lists are: Pheromones, Electromagnetic Interference,
"Hologram, Death", described as a "Hologram used to scare a target individual to death",
and "Optical, Low Energy Laser-Eye Safe", descibed as a continuous wave laser mounted on
a rifle, that "produces a high-intensity glare strong enough to temporarily delay and
disorient an adversary...".

(depending on what they actually do) be more humane in battle
situations, many have the potential of being covertly used against civilians,
for instance, to interfere with the performance of athletes, to interfere with the work
of artists and writers, to interfere with the work of women in the sciences.They could also be used to make peaceful demonstration very difficult.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9816703/Jonathan D. Moreno, Mind Wars, Brain Research and National Defense,
NY, NY; Washington, DC: Dana Press, 2006.
With an emphasis on DARPA funding, Jonathan Moreno's Mind Wars,
Brain Research and National Defense provides an overview of brain invasive
technologies that include the neuro-control of animals, brain fingerprinting,
"building better soldiers" (his terminology) and nonlethal weapons.In a section entitled "No Pain No Gain", (pp. 153-154) Moreno discusses the ADS
("active-denial" system) that uses microwave beams to induce pain, as well as nociceptor
stimulation using pulsed energy projectiles.(PEPS) (Note that he does not
adequately address the potential for technologies that allow access to the brain
to be used to control human minds in order to cause pain nor does the book, in the whole,
provide adequate space to synthetic telemetry research.)In the context of pain-inducing NLW testing , the author suggests that calling human
experiments "field trials", in order to circumvent human experiment ethics is acceptable.And in a chilling segment, he observes that seemingly the military considers that if doctors
are not in charge, such tests could be considered a "field trial" rather than a human
experiment.Speaking of cold war tests in which soldiers and sailors were
purposefully exposed to Atomic bomb and chemical nerve agents, he writes:
"One can argue whether there was deliberate duplicity on the part of
military officials in these cases or not, but I don't think so. In fact,
it's often not easy to tell the difference between developing a new
device or training for a new situation and conducting a human experiment." (p. 157)Moreno's claim to be in the middle of the ethical debate on the use of mind
invasive technologies is also belied by, among other things, his unethical advocacy
for Augcog enhancements on soldiers: "Soldiers aren't normally asked for their
informed consent before accepting what their command regards as the best preparation
for battle. If the question is purely a moral one, than it's difficult to see why
these AugCog enhancements should be regarded differently from anything else a soldier
can be legally ordered to do." (p. 53)On the whole, the book seems to be a DARPA whitewash. Nevertheless, Mind Wars does
at least raise ethics issues, and because there are few book length overviews of military
neuroscience, the book is a contribution to the literature -- providing cogent evidence that there
is a concerted DOD research agenda in neuro-technologies.

This experiment in mind-body control -- involving implanting
electrodes in monkey's brains -- was performed by scientists
at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina, MIT,
and the State University of New York (SUNY) Health Science Center.
Questions that should be asked are: What control would this give
researchers over the minds of people with disabilities?
What are the protections for patients from the potential that
researchers who interfere with animal minds will also think their
research priorities allow them to interfere with human minds and/or
make decisions for patients without consulting them?
Could this technology be used in "virtual commander" situations
where the men and women in our armed forces could be controlled
in battlefield situations.Note also that the 600 mile range of brain control demonstrated
could allow to unethical researchers to utilize these technologies
across state borders.This research was sponsored by the National Institutes of Health,
the National Science Foundation, the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency, and the Office of Naval Research.

Background - Neuroscience Institutes
Much of the research at these facilities is beneficial.
However, so that the public can understand how applied brain invasive
technologies could negatively affect the future of our world, it is
important to look at the whole picture of research.It is also important to build a case for the need for legislation
to be put in place to protect against brain invasive technologies
being used without consent or knowledge. Because brain invasive technologies
are not always detectable or provable, the potential exists for criminal
researchers and rogue law enforcement to create a theater of our lives for
their own amusement or to silently persecute citizens with whom they
personally disagree.Access to the brain is essentially access to the body and its functions.
For instance, someone could be driven to suicide or detrimental actions.
Wireless communications technologies in tandem with neural implants could
facilitate access to our minds.
Although there may be instances where neural implants could help people
with disabilities, to this author, an artist/writer with a disability, it appears
that people with disabilities are, in some cases, being used as an excuse
to develop very invasive research and that neither the public nor
the disability community are being adequately informed of the dangers of the
technologies being developed, of alternative approaches, or of the potential
criminal uses of these technologies.It is important to remember that if neuro-technologies are being
abused it is not necessarily the inventors of the technologies who are actually
doing this. However, many of the researchers in this field have not adequately
communicated the import of their work. If researchers in this field believe that
socially acceptable benefits of neural technologies may be realized, it is vitally
important that they inform the public of the potential for misuse of these technologies,
as well as set in motion legislation to protect the public and to ensure that no
intelligence agencies, law enforcement or corporations have covert and/or moral
and socially unacceptable access to brain invasive technologies.The fact that unscrupulous researchers in these fields have not adequately informed
the public of the dangers is a strong indication not only that the source of their
funding is all too often the very agencies that could abuse brain invasive technologies
but also that there are questions about whether or not the potential for abuse
outweighs the potential benefits.Yet there is hope that if the public is adequately informed and protections
are in place, in the frontiers of neuroscience research there may indeed be
benefits for the disability community and for many others.

Control of populations is the subtext Kitson's Low Intensity Operations.The book is chilling in its lack of understanding of the moral and positive
roles of protest, strikes, and the voices of a country's citizen's in
a free country. However, it is instructive in understanding this British Army officer's mindset that
had a pervasive influence on British attempts at covert control of whole populations

In this revealing report, with little consideration for the citizens of our planet,
the Air Force treats global weather as a battleground. In their words:
"...weather-modification is a force multiplier with tremendous power
that could be exploited across the full spectrum of war-fighting environments.
From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via
small-scale tailoring of natural weather patterns to complete dominance of
global communications and counter-space control, weather-modification offers
the war fighter a wide-range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary..."

Commercial Observation Satellites At the Leading Edge of Global
Transparency, RAND Monographs/Reports MR1229, 2001
http://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR1229/
This document gives an overview of global access to observation satellites
and addresses the issues of "global transparency" that this has created, including
potentially beneficial information, such as civilian access to information about nuclear
buildup. The framing of "open skies" issues in the context of the rights of photographers
and first amendment rights is important because advocates of privacy rights
should be aware that these issues are also important.However, this report gives scant coverage to privacy rights, nor does it adequately address
how private citizens could be protected from stalking and harassment by users of satellite
data who spy on their lives and movements.The assumption of many of the contributors to this report -- that the use
of observation satellites is, for better or worse, here to stay -- should be
re-examined in terms of the importance to human beings of privacy and of
the kind of world we want to live in the future.

New Surveillance Technologies
The research listed here may be in many respects beneficial,
and the listing of projects here is not meant to imply that the
researchers themselves are advocating a surveillance society.
Indeed, it is precisely because researchers are often not in a position
to control "function creep" from their work that we the public should look at
the long term consequences of research that could contribute to surveillance
society.For instance, technology to scan grocery receipts and analyze purchases
for nutritional content could be beneficial if used personally. But
"function creep" from this research could create a situation --
with overtones of a slave society -- where Insurance companies,
the Armed Forces, and unethical doctors who spy on their patients
for insurance companies, drug companies, and/or DARPA could easily spy
on what everyone eats. Thus, it important to know that such research exists.
