According to a the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists Jul/August 1998 in an article entitled All in the (Russian) mind?, a Lt. Col. Timothy L. Thomas, an analyst at the Foreign Military Studies Office at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, states that the Russians are way ahead of the United States in what he called "psychotronic warfare." One report according to Lt. Col. Thomas in an article published in 1997 in Military Review, titled, The Age of the New Persuaders, there are reports that the Russians had developed a computer virus that could kill a person while viewing their computer screen. It was named "virus 666." ** Thomas states:
There are reports that the Russians have developed "Virus 666," which displays certain color and number combinations on a computer screen to affect bodily processes. According to a Russian report delivered by a scientist from the renowned Russian Baumann Technical Institute at an information warfare conference in Washington, D.C., Virus 666 has been responsible for shutting down the bodily functions of more than 50 people, resulting in their deaths. Can such things happen? Americans are doubtful, because there is no proof computer screens can be used to control or kill people. Most believe such reports are not credible, even though Russian scientists, supported by highly influential people close to Russian leadership, are responsible for the information. IsVirus 666 a Russian manipulation effort to make the United States spend money on countermeasure research and development? Perhaps. Yet in hindsight, man once could not comprehend electricity either, and we should at least consider the possibility of this phenomenon. As the Russians have noted on several occasions, he who makes the first inroads into this area will control the destiny of mankind in the near future.
The source of this information on "Virus 666" come from Vitor I. Solntsev, "Information War and Some Aspects of a Computer Operator's Defense" paper (Washington, DC: Information War conference, September 1996) as cited by Lt. Col. Thomas. Thomas also stated in an interview that the Russians had more portable psychotronic weapons Thomas admits that U.S. researchers have also explored some of the means of mental disruption, but U.S. ideas tend to involve big sticks more likely to destroy than disrupt. The Russians, in contrast, are interested in small, hard-todetect weapons designed for stealth attack-weapons that "aim to control or alter the psyche, or to attack the various sensory and dataprocessing systems of the human organism." In each case, he says, "The goal is to confuse or destroy the signals that keep the body in equilibrium."**
There is much more about Russia's use of psychotronic weapons.
