ON GUARD
Air Force Accused of
"Zapping"
Natten peace campers at Greenham
Common. England, claim that they are
honig attacked by the US electronic
weapons from within the US airbase there.
They believe that some form of elec-
tromagnetic wave or other signal is being
directed at them and is responsible for a
number of illnesses they have suffered
over the past year.
Symptoms range from mild headaches
and drowsiness to bouts of temporary
paralysis and. in one case, an apparent
struniatory failure which required emer-
geney treatment. Women have also com-
pramed of sharp pains and problems with
speech coordination. A team of doctors
from the Medical Campaign Against Nuc-
bear Weapons are compiling a report on the
condition of the women affected.
The women first noticed a pattern of
Hlinesses emerging in 1984. They dis-
counted food or water poisoning as a cause
and started to suspect interference from
inside the base. They found that women at
chiffremt points around the camp appeared
we have experienced similar symptoms at
the same time. even when they were not in

to make life difficult for them and so drive
them away. Some of the worst affected
women now find it impossible to stay
around Greenham for more than a short
period of time.
Electronic weapons are known to have
been used by security forces on a number
of occasions. The Americans are reported
to have used ultrasound to disorient and
demoralise their enemies during the Viet-
nam war and a number of American police
forces are believed to have carried out
trials with infra-sound generators mounted "
on the back of trucks. The high intensity,
low frequency pressure waves these pro-
duce are said to cause vomung, nausea
and a range of other disturbances and to
induce fits in those who are subject to
them. American medical groups have pro-
tested against the proposed use of these
weapons for urban riot control.
Microwave radiation is also believed to
have been used as a weapon at various
times. The most celebrated instance was
the irradiation of the US Embassy in Mos-
cow during the 1950s, '60s and '70s. It has
never been made clear whether the Rus-
sians used the signal as a weapon or for
surveillance, but a television documentary
screened last year reported a high inci-
dence of cancer amongst ex-Embassy staff
and suggested that disorders of the blood
and nervous system could also have been
caused by the signal.
The women at Greenham Common sus-
pect that more than one type or frequency
of radiation is being used against them.
They say that the symptoms vary from
time to time and seem to reflect what takes
place on the base. Large numbers of
women have complained of sudden feel-
ings of extreme tiredness shortly before
major events such as the departure of .
cruise missile convoy and on other occa
sions when their activities might have
proved particularly awkward for the force:
using the base.
We have conducted a number of test:
around the base in cooperation with jour
nalists from other organisations. Reading
taken with a wide range signal strength
meter showed marked increases in the
background signal level near one of the
womens' camps at a time when the:
claimed to be experiencing ill effects.
On another occasion, previously lov
signal levels near the camp rose sharpl:
when the women created a disturbance jus
outside the perimeter fence of the base
Whether this indicated an attempt to sub
due the women by electronic means v
merely the use of a radar surveillance sys
tem it is impossible to say.
. The signal levels measured were wc:
above normal background levels but sul
within official safety limits. However
there is evidence from a number of source
that low levels of electromagnetic radie
tion can have harmful effects especiall.
where exposure takes place over a lon.
period of time.
British Defense officials have den ....
that any form of electronic signal is bei"
used against the protesters.
