4 Northeast Youths and One Woman Assaulted in Delhi
New Delhi, January 8, 2011:Four North-East youths were allegedly assaulted by a landlord on Friday night at Munirka in New Delhi. Culprits arrested under pressure from Police Officer.
The victims John (25), Richard (23), Calvin (24) and Jenny (24) belong to Manipur. All names are changed. John and Kalvin are working in private companies in New Delhi. Jenny is a mother of one-year old child. The victims were temporarily residing in Munirka.
Madhu Chandra Spokesperson of North East Support Centre & Helpline reported the matter to Joint Commissioner of Police for Southern Range of Delhi Amulya Patnaik and Deputy Commission of Police for South Delhi Mr. Daliwal, who responded to instruct the police officers on duty to take action.
Man accused arrested by Vasant Vihar Police station and a case registered under FIR 12/2011 under section of 323/341/506/34 of Indian Penal Court.
According to John, the incident occurred on Friday at around 9.30 pm when he visited his cousin brother to inform about a job vacancy. While he left his cousin’s room, he met the landlord Dinesh on the road in Munirka, near by Dinesh’s building. John, an old tenant of Dinesh, rented a room from March 2010 to November 2010 in Dinesh’s building.
John said: “Dinesh call me, saying he want to speak to me. At that moment, I left him hurriedly to pick-up some of my friends who are already waiting for me. I told my old landlord politely that I’ll be back soon and have a talk with him”.
“Suddenly Dinesh felt annoyed and started thrashing me. In the meantime, some of the locals also joined him in assaulting me. I sought help, but to no avail. I bleed profusely. At least I could manage to escape from their irony hands,” said John.
John was soaked with blood. John’s forehead and left cheek wounded severely. However, he luckily escapes the brutal attacked by running away.
When his sister Jenny, his brother-in-law Calvin and Richard knew the incident, they approached Dinesh politely to enquiring about the matter.
Dinesh and some of his friends were still there on the road near his building where the incident occurred. While seeing the couple, Dinesh and his friends began thrashing and smashing them mercilessly. Jenny, Calvin and Richard got injured.
Jenny, a mother of one-year old baby felt down on the road while her husband Kalvin was continuously beaten with iron rods and sticks by Dinesh and his associates.
According to Jenny, Dinesh said: “I beat your brother because he came to my building. What can you do with me? Do whatever you want; I’m not afraid at all. He used abusive and lewd comments”.
John’s mobile phone was forcibly snatched away and crushed on the road by Dinesh and his friends.
The victims call the leaders of Kuki Students Organisation Delhi. KSOD general secretary T Douminlian, KSOD member Mangkai Haokip and Bruce K Thangkhal, reported to North East Support Centre & Helpline rushed to the spot immediately from JNU campus.
KSOD leaders met the victims and discussed the matter. Then they lodged a formal complaint at the Vasant Vihar police station around 1.30 am.
The victims were taken to Safdarjung hospital for medical examination (MLC). At 4.30 am this morning, one of the victims Jenny informed this reporter that the seriously injured John and Calvin were still in the hospital for X-ray test. They were left alone without the police.
Jenny and Richard after medical test, were dropped near Aggarwal Sweet shop in Munirka by the police.
“I am really afraid of Dinesh. Earlier he had assaulted two North East guys. The first one suffered a broken head and the second fractured arms. I’m afraid he might target us,” said Jenny, the distress victim.
“Dinesh is accused of assaulting the North East frequently which went unreported,” says Bruce.
North East Support Centre & Helpline is a joint initiative of various human rights activists, social workers, students, journalists and lawyers seeking to prevent harassment and abuses meted out to North East People and tribal communities of other states.

Nominations Open for Military Child of the Year Award
Posted on Wed, Jan 5, 2011 at 10:36 PM
By Elaine Wilson of A F P S
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 2011 - A nonprofit organization is giving Americans the chance to sing the praises of a group often called the nation's unsung heroes: military children.
Operation Homefront, a troop- and military-family support group, is inviting people to nominate outstanding military children from all branches of service for the 2011 Military Child of the Year Award.
"It is vitally important to recognize military children," said Jim Knotts, Operation Homefront's chief executive officer. "I think kids have gotten overlooked as we've recognized the sacrifices of the military, and they are such an important aspect of our military community. They deserve to have their moment in the sunshine as well."
Each winner will receive $5,000 and be flown here with a parent or guardian for a special recognition ceremony April 7.
In the past, just one military child out of the services received the annual top honor. But this year -- the program's third -- officials have expanded the program to recognize one child each from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
"The sacrifices of military kids are so dramatic," Knotts said. "They live through and thrive in the face of such great challenges, it is wholly appropriate to recognize more of them."
A panel of judges - comprising an Operation Homefront staff member and volunteer service members and spouses - will select the five winners. The panel will look at objective criteria, such as the number of months a child has dealt with deployments, and at subjective criteria, such as leadership, strength of character, resilience and ability to thrive in the face of challenges, Knotts explained.
Past winners have set a high bar, Knotts said, but he added that he has no doubt many others are just as deserving of the award.
Last year's winner, 10-year-old Willie Banks, helped to care for his younger sister when his mother deployed to Iraq. His father, an Army major, died when Willie was a toddler. He also volunteers at church, school and on the athletic field.
The year before, Brittany Wallace took the title. When her father was severely injured in Iraq, Brittany took over as head of the household while her mother tended to his rehabilitation. Brittany, who was 17 at the time, took care of her two younger siblings, cleaned the house and made meals - all while keeping up her grades at school.
"The two past winners are indicative of tens of thousands of exemplary military kids that are out there," Knotts said.
Nominations will be accepted online until Jan. 31 at http://www.OperationHomefront. net/MCOY. Nominees must have a valid military ID or currently be enrolled in the Defense Eligibility Enrollment Reporting System, be between the ages of 8 and 18 and able to travel to Washington, D.C., for the April 7 ceremony.

Electromagnetic Frequency Mind Control Weapons
![]() |
| Documents not seen by the public until now, released a few months ago. MK-ULTRA trials and experiments that went on in the 1960's in Montreal Canada by physician E.T. Barker. He still practices in Midland, Ontario. His website is http://www.empathicparenting.org Bring this criminal into the spotlight. (Watch Video) |
Friends,
In this article Stephen Lendman discusses the nature of Electro-magnetic weapons [aka mind control weapons] in this article. Steve graduated from Harvard Business School in the nineteen fifties and, now retired, writes on various issues of public interest.
EM weapons are silent but lethal weapons. Many mind-control experiements were conducted by the US Gov, especially the CIA, known variously as MK-ultra, MK-Naomi, etc. The researches on deep mind control methods actually were started at Tavistock Institute in the 1930s. Some of their theories are also taught at Business Schools.
EM weapons kill without leaving any evidence. Entire population or just a single human/animal can be targeted.
Kind regards
Arun Shrivastava
Electromagnetic Frequency Mind Control Weapons
Directed energy weapons include lasers, high power microwave, and millimeter wave ones among others. A relevant December 2007 Department of Defense (DOD) report called them a "transformational game changer in military operations, able to augment and improve operational capabilities in many areas," for both lethal and non-lethal purposes.
Access the full text through the following link:
Among other applications, EMF weapons/devices are used for harassment, surveillance and mind control. Agencies like the Pentagon, CIA and NSA use them to monitor people, manipulate their minds, harm, and at times kill them. The Navy Times called them the "most feared and controversial weapon(s) of (the) modern age."
Human experiments in America go back decades, an earlier article addressed MK-ULTRA (and others), accessed through the following link:
Begun in 1953, it was the code name for a secret CIA mind control program to perfect a truth drug. It followed earlier WW II hypnosis, primitive drugs research, and the US Navy's Project Chatter, identifying and testing drugs on both animal and human subjects. These and other experiments aimed to control human behavior through psychedelic and halluncinogenic drugs, electroshock, radiation, graphology, paramilitary techniques, and various psychological/sociological/ anthropological methods, among others.
They comprised a vast open-field of mind experimentation, using anything that might work, legal or not on willing and unwitting subjects. For example, Dr. Ross Adey worked on the CIA's Pandora Project, using microwaves to send signals to human brains. Cataloguing the results, he showed how they affected emotional and pathological states. He also learned that human brains could be controlled remotely through extremely low frequency modulated microwave beams, able to cause psychological and physical harm.
People could be turned in zombies, their minds easily controlled. Physical harm also resulted, affecting their blood, cardiovascular system, cells, central nervous and digestive systems, glands, metabolism, reproduction, eyesight, and hearing. In addition, subjects could be made suicidal or driven mad. Moreover, sounds and speech can be placed in victims' brains, actual voices they can't control or stop.
Other effects include unexplainable burning, itching, tickling or pressure; "humming" or "buzzing" causing sleeplessness and anxiety; loss of body control, producing sudden twitching or jerking of an arm or leg; and feelings of dread, rage, lust, sorrow, or other emotions that come and go quickly.
Moreover, microwave cooking can heat people to death by increasing the radiation field intensity, causing local hot spots in eyes, gall bladders, and other body parts. Paralysis can also be induced. Memories are erased or impaired. Cancerous cells can be produced, and behavior modified the way authorities wish, even turning people into killers, microwave signals directing them. The entire mobile phone network can be used for these purposes, yet people are unaware of what's happening.
Post-WW II, human radiation experiments were conducted, affecting thousands of US citizens. Millions more were exposed to radioactive fallout from over 200 atmospheric and underground tests. At the Nevada site in the 1950s and 1960s, detonations affected over 200,000 '"atomic vets," thousands more downwind also in Nevada, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. These and numerous other physical and psychological experiments caused enormous harm to hundreds of thousands of unwitting people, victimized by their own country.
Electronic harassment and mind control technologies direct energy through lasers, radio frequency energy beams, holography, interferometry, electromagnetic radiation, radio and sound waves, satellites, radar, miniature electronic robots, smart dust, and other means. All do it invisibly over thousands of miles. They can penetrate walls, buildings, metals, concrete, mountains and thousands of miles of earth.
Intersecting energy beams create radiation pockets in victims, engineered to contain sound waves, messages, heat and pressure stress, simulated forms of electromagnetic radiation, telepathic images, as well as holographic and virtual reality simulations. Directed energy beams can also track, locate and target people harmfully. They can only be blocked by force fields or materials that absorb or deflect them. What they are remain top secret.
Bush I declared the 1990s "The Decade of the Brain," an effort "to enhance public awareness of the benefits to be derived from brain research," keeping its dark side hidden.
The Pentagon's DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) conducted research and development in "augmented cognition," what universities call "cognitive science." It's the interdisciplinary study of how information is represented and transformed in the brain. The Pentagon's purpose was for military applications, including manipulating the emotions and behavior of adversaries.
Used globally, it's applicable individually, for crowd control, or larger groups, using millimeter waves, pulsed energy projectiles, and high power magnetic weapons, subjects unaware of what's hitting them.
The NSA's Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) involves decoding EMF waves to tap into computers wirelessly and track people. Using EMF Brain Stimulation to monitor individuals, organizations and nations, it complements the CIA/Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Human Intelligence (HUMINT), and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's Imagery Intelligence (IMINT). NSA's DOMINT can track millions of people simultaneously. It can also inflict harm, control subjects psychologically and kill.
In conflict zones like Iraq and Afghanistan, "Project Sheriff" is used to give "troops working in urban terrain more options" against combatants and noncombatants alike. Humvees and armored personnel carriers have been retrofitted with non-lethal weapons, including microwave-like pain rays (an Active Denial System) and a Long Range Acoustic Device emitting earsplitting sounds.
Pulsed Energy Projectiles (PEPs) travel nearly at the speed of light. With pinpoint accuracy, they emit invisible laser pulses, electromagnetic radiation, stunning targets, knocking them off their feet, paralyzing them in pain. Their long-term effects, however, are unknown, including on the brain.
Voice to Skull directed acoustic devices are neuro-electromagnetic non-lethal weapons, able to produce mood-altering sounds in a person's head. Remote Neural Monitoring (RNM) uses satellite transmitted extra low frequencies (ELF) to send voice to brain communications. Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) are used for crowd control. They produce 150-decibel acoustic beams, "designed to communicate with authority and exceptionally high intelligibility in a 15 - 30 degree beam." They emit verbal challenges over distances beyond 500 meters, with warning tones to influence behavior. They can also inflict physical harm, manipulate minds, and cause death.
The field of Augmented Cognition includes Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), used therapeutically and for military purposes. The latter is to emit close proximity electrical impulses to the brain to affect mood, sleep patterns, and improve cognitive abilities in areas of learning, memory, attentiveness, visualization, and decision-making. The long-term neurological effects are unknown. The potential for human harm is considerable.
Transmitted over long distances, silent psychotronic weapons can cause illness or death for no apparent reason. In his 1970 book, "Between Two Ages," Zbigniew Brezezinski, discussed technologies to conduct secret warfare, saying:
"It is possible - and tempting - to exploit, for strategic-political purposes, the fruits of research on the brain and on human behavior....Accurately timed, artificially excited electronic strokes could lead to a pattern of oscillations that produce relatively high power levels over certain regions of the earth....In this way, one could develop a system that would seriously impair the brain performance of a very large population in selected regions, over an extended period."
Most people know nothing about directed energy weapons, manipulating, incapacitating and killing many thousands who have no idea what hit them. America has been a longtime global offender, developing and using them for decades to surveille, harass, intimidate, manipulate, torture, and kill. They can also read minds and turn people into zombies. Why? To achieve total unchallengeable control.
So-called "non-lethal weapons" can be as harmful as killer ones. Ongoing research, in fact, is chilling. Waging war on human minds and bodies, it's morally, ethically, and legally indefensible. Continuing, however, atrocity technologies are produced, mostly without public knowledge or that governments like America use them against their own people and others. For ill, of course, not good. Dr. Mengele lives.

Landscape Architect Saves Resources
By Air Force 1st Lt. Mara Title Space and Missile Systems Center LOS ANGELES AIR FORCE BASE, Calif., Jan. 3, 2011 - With health, safety, conservation and morale at the heart of her mission, the landscape architect here strives to deliver on every front.
Ellis designed and drafted the plans for an artificial turf intramural field. The project has been approved and is in the works. Because the new artificial turf field is 99.5 percent maintenance free and doesn't require water, fertilizer or mowing, the upkeep cost is drastically reduced. "Our goal is to reduce water and maintenance overall," she said. Ellis has a bachelor's degree in landscape architecture, which includes engineering classes, community planning and architecture. "A landscape architect doesn't simply pick out plants," she said. "They specialize in picking the right plant, for the right type of soil, for the right climate, for the right function." Ellis has made strides to choose flora and fauna that flourish in the dry climate here. She uses the "xeriscape" landscaping method to create a landscape design carefully tailored to withstand drought conditions. At one location, she has planted colorful succulents, installed fabric that suppresses weed growth while retaining moisture in the soil, and replaced thick, green vegetation with much smaller rock that adheres to force-protection guidelines. She has also planted blue agave -- a small, compact shrub with thorns that takes water only during winter -- at two installation entry control points. The thorny plants won't necessarily stop a terrorist, she said, but they pose more of an obstacle than soft vegetation that can be climbed or walked over. | ||

Air Force Secretary Visits Bases in Wyoming, North Dakota
Posted on : Fri, Dec 31, 2010 at 11:45 PM By Air Force Capt. Mary Danner-Jones and Air Force Senior Airman Benjamin Stratton Special to American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, Dec. 31, 2010 - Air Force Secretary Michael B. Donley thanked airmen for their service during holiday visits to bases in Wyoming and North Dakota. He praised the troops' commitment, skill and achievements while visiting F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo., on Dec. 23 and Minot Air Force Base, N.D., on Dec. 23 and 24.
While visiting F.E. Warren, Donley recognized Air Force Global Strike Command airmen who carry out the nuclear deterrence mission. "We have missile crews and Airmen standing alert over the holidays, and we want them to know their leaders appreciate the sacrifices they make," Donley said. "We appreciate our Airmen and their families for the support they provide every day of the year, but especially during the holiday period when some of our Airmen can't be with their families," he said. Capt. Mike Ralph, 319th Missile Squadron flight commander, was one of those on hand to meet the secretary. "A visit such as this shows how much our senior leadership cares about the nuclear mission and our Airmen here," Ralph said. "It means a lot that Secretary Donley took time out of his busy schedule to come here." During his visit, the secretary met with 20th Air Force and 90th Missile Wing maintainers, operators, security forces, support personnel, and leaders to express his appreciation for the dedication and professionalism of everyone who supports the mission here. Donley said the great performance of the 90th Missile Wing during the first Global Strike Challenge in November was reflective of the training, precision, dedication and professionalism of F.E. Warren airmen. "This was a major accomplishment for the 'Mighty Ninety,'" he said. "Awards in several different areas really indicate you have some stand-out units and performers here." Those honors included the Blanchard Trophy recognizing the best ICBM wing, as well as three other top Global Strike Challenge awards. Secretary Donley said the work performed by Warren professionals is "critical" and "truly remarkable," adding that the mission across the nuclear enterprise is nonstop. Acknowledging the Air Force's 50-plus years of nuclear heritage, he added that nuclear deterrence remains the backbone not only of the Air Force, but also of national military capabilities. This is the second year in a row an Air Force senior leader has traveled to F.E. Warren during the holiday season. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz, the Air Force's top uniformed leader, made a holiday visit here last year. During his trip to Minot, Secretary Donley visited several of the base's key facilities, including a missile alert facility, Dock 7, and the Dakota Inn Dining Facility. He also met with several key community leaders during a dinner meeting in the city of Minot. "The airmen here are doing an outstanding job," Donley said. "Minot carries a heavy load and is always very busy, but I feel the airmen and leadership team here are very supportive of each other and key to accomplishing the Air Force mission." Donley said what impressed him the most was the dedication and professionalism of all who served at the base, particularly given the challenging mission and weather climate. "Minot has a very important mission of two dimensions -- bombers and missiles," Donley said. "This two-dimensional mission can be complicated to support. It is complicated even more by the harsh environment our Airmen face here." Donley noted the support of family and community is important to Airmen being able to accomplish the nuclear deterrence and global strike mission. "Our Air Force is hardworking -- 24/7 for 365 days a year," he said. "We can't do what we do, as efficiently and productively, without the support of our families and the communities we live in." As such, the secretary said Minot bears a great responsibility and expressed his appreciation for Team Minot's performance. "This community serves a very important mission and Minot is doing an outstanding job," he said. "I would like to say thank you for your integrity and commitment to service." (Air Force Capt. Mary Danner-Jones is assigned to the 90th Missile Wing Public Affairs Office, and Air Force Senior Airman Benjamin Stratton is assigned to the Minot Air Force Base Public Affairs Office.) | ||
