The below article I wrote almost 20 years ago and is still relevant today. I remember a Navy Occupational Physician inquiring about the effects of High Intensity/Low Frequency (HF/LF) Sound on the crew of his Aircraft Carrier. Recently, we saw in the news that people in various US Embassy’s (Cuba, China, US facilities, etc.), were experiencing similar problems […]

Coercive Persuasion or more commonly called brainwashing may be looked at to somewhat answer the question; how can peoples judgment be so clouded they can’t separate facts from mistruths?
