What is a psychotronic weapon and can it really exist

What are psychotronic weapons

Psychotronic weapons are a fictional type of remote weapon, with the help of which one can influence the psyche and organism of people, and even control and subjugate their consciousness.

It also allegedly allows you to "read" the thoughts of individuals, disrupt the body, kill people and even cause the collapse of houses, accompanied by numerous victims.

According to supporters of conspiracy theories, such weapons can be used by politicians, military and intelligence services, criminals, and some kind of secret world government. Basically, this opinion is widespread in the territory of the former USSR.

Where did the rumors about psychotronic weapons come from?

They began with the development of the Czech designer Robert Pavlita in the 1960s. He claimed to have created generators capable of storing psychic (psychotronic) energy. For example, his devices could move laboratory equipment for no apparent reason, magnetize wooden sticks, and even kill insects with light touches. Pavlita believed that if psychotronic energy is accumulated in large quantities, then it can have a positive or negative effect on living organisms, including humans.

The military in the USSR and the USA became interested in the developments of the Czech designer. In the conditions of the arms race, both sides began to spend huge sums of money on development under the heading of secrecy.

In the 1990s, this became widely known, and psychotronic hysteria in the post-Soviet space grew violent. The yellow media also added fuel to the fire. So, in the 1990s, the newspaper "Voice of the Universe" was published in millions of copies with articles in the spirit of "Confessions of a Zombie" or reports about what it was like in hell.

As a result, rumors about the use of psychotronic weapons against the Russians spread massively. For example, the KGB allegedly used it. Public organizations began to appear like the "Moscow Committee for the Ecology of Housing", the existing Moscow Committee for the Ecology of Housing to this day and demanding an end to the psi-terror against the Russians. Books and articles on psychotronic weapons are still being published.

How psychotronic weapons should work in theory

Psychotronic weapons are most often described as a generator that emits some kind of special radiation. In addition to devices not known to the general public, psychotronic means are also recorded:

Various installations and devices of military and scientists like LRAD or HAARP.
Telephone wires and telephones.
Televisions and radio networks.
Incandescent lamps.
Water pipes.

It is possible to spread radiation, according to those who believe in psychotronic weapons, in a variety of ways:

With the help of various mythical fields - torsion, spinor and microlepton.
Using microwaves.
With sound.
Using lasers.
With the help of a special gas.
Through biofield and artificial bioresonance.
With the help of low-frequency quantum radiation.
With the help of telekinesis and other psychic means.

The impact itself can be soft and hard when a person clearly feels the radiation. The first is allegedly used in secret to control thoughts and behavior, and the second is used to bully and gradually kill those who have learned the "truth."

What is taken for the effect of psychotronic weapons

A variety of things can be attributed to the influence of psychotronics: insomnia, headaches, problems with internal organs and even burns in intimate areas from "psi-rape".

If in the 1990s people who believed in psychotronic weapons believed that they were used pointwise against individuals, today they allegedly irradiate entire countries. Russian adherents of the hypothesis believe that all the problems in the country stem from this: poverty, immorality, homelessness, family breakdown, hazing in the army, alcoholism, drug addiction, the birth of sick children and much more.

How to defend against him

One of the ways to protect against psychotronic weapons is a foil hat - a faithful companion of conspiracy theories. Foil, according to the assumption of conspiracy theorists, can reflect harmful radiation. Thus, it protects the human brain from harmful effects, manipulation, reading consciousness or other interference. There is, of course, no scientific basis behind this.

Apparently, the foil hats misconception became popular due to the fantastic story "The King of Cell Culture", which was written in 1927 by the brother of the writer Aldous Huxley, Julian. The protagonist of this work used a similar headdress to protect himself from penetration into his brain.

Another way of protection is to use a radio jammer, but for this you need to know at what frequency the attack is being carried out.

The sound effect should be helped by absorbing materials with which it is proposed to sheathe the apartment.

In addition, various "inventors" offer to buy special devices that supposedly protect against weapons: resonators, coils, pendants, pyramids and even mascot programs.

The descriptions of such devices can indicate incredible characteristics. For example, protection from all types of radiation (from solar to mobile communications) or cure for almost all diseases. The devices themselves, paradoxically, do not even need power supplies.

Obviously, this is a hoax. And this is well understood by those who create and sell such devices. They indicate in small or poorly visible print that they are not responsible for non-medical devices. It is impossible to find data on the studies of these devices, because they have never been carried out.

Why psychotronic weapons never existed

Back in 1972, a commission of Soviet scientists led by Professor of Biophysics of the USSR Academy of Sciences Alexander Kitaygorodsky studied the generators of Robert Pavlita. They found rational explanations for all of his tricks. For example, the magnetization of wood was due to the fact that microscopic iron particles from the generator remained on it. And the flies were killed by static electricity.

That is, scientists, in principle, have not confirmed the existence of psychotronic energy.

Abroad, such studies also proved to be a failure. For example, in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s, the CIA spent $ 20 million on the study of parapsychology. The program did not produce any results.

Already in modern Russia, those who participated in the creation of various parapsychological weapons admitted that 90% of the developments did not give significant results. In fact, the emergence of these projects was the result of the incompetence of state bodies or the deception of the creators.

The falsity of the rumors about psychotronic weapons was confirmed by the head of the FSB Andrei Bykov. He stated that neither the KGB nor his successors possessed psychotronic weapons and never did.

But this does not mean that all people who say that they have been subjected to psychotronic influence are lying. Most likely, they really feel something. Psychiatrists call this delusion of influence, or the syndrome of mental automatism (Kandinsky-Clerambo syndrome).

It seems to a person that someone influences his actions, personality and thoughts. This is a possible sign of schizophrenia, central nervous system disorders, epilepsy, poisoning and hallucinogen intake.

Is it possible to create psychotronic weapons today

Light, sound, electromagnetic radiation - all of these can affect a person. But it will not work to control thoughts and consciousness or to brainwash people with their help. Scientists still do not really know the principles of the brain, and they cannot read consciousness even more so.

Acoustic installations, making an unpleasant noise, are already being used to disperse demonstrations and riots. But this is just a loud, unpleasant sound. That is, it acts on the physical, and not on the mental level, and it will not work secretly to use such systems. Light is also used unofficially for torture and splitting, but this is not very similar to remote brainwashing.

You can also cause pain in a person with the help of directed microwave radiation. But this requires rather complicated and expensive equipment that only works at short distances. It is unclear why it could be useful when there is a much simpler and cheaper alternative - electricity, which is also unofficially used for torture and interrogation.

So the creation of psychotronic weapons by modern scientists is not only incredible, but also meaningless.
