News Report | Ramola D | November 9, 2026
In a recent wide-ranging and partially veiled but mostly cavalier and blase conversation on Neuroweapons, Cognitive Warfare, and a concept called the OODA Loop used apparently in warfare, James Giordano, clearly not an ethicist but a hardheaded and blindered neuroweapons scientist, spoke casually of the targeting of individuals and collectives with neuroweapons of various kinds, including using “Neurobiological Targeting” to affect the functioning of brains, and “multidimensional engagement” in what he described as the “Cognitive Domain” to effect what appears to be clearly illegal “Cognitive Warfare”–in contravention of all international laws and Conventions protecting human rights and the sanctity and autonomy of human brains and bodies.
In doing so, he is clearly describing what is still being done to hundreds of thousands of people worldwide inside their own countries, and certainly inside the USA–extrajudicial and completely illegal MilIntel targeting for non-consensual human experimentation and field weapons-testing of anti-personnel directed energy weapons and neuroweapons, in criminal programs of covert domestic torture and social destruction*--revealing as well the all-round life-takedown attacks they are subjected to, as “cognitive domain” targeting and “multidimensional engagement.”
“If I wanted to actually affect a brain, I could certainly affect a brain. I mean, I can put a round through somebody’s head. Yeah. And that’s going to definitely affect their behavior. I can whack them across the head with a stick or I could do that in ways that are far more insidious, perhaps subtle or even exceedingly overt.”–Giordano
Posted on February 15,2025/ https://www.mca-marines.org/gazette/ooda-loop-for-strategy/
The occasion for this blase throwaway was a conversation with another retired military veteran with a Navy Air (fighter pilot in the Navy) and military management background, Brian “Ponch” Rivera, on a podcast channel aggressively titled “No Way Out” aired on September 29, 2026 (Link to this video and Youtube transcript below). James Giordano’s bio has been reported here: Public Disclosure By Military/Intelligence Whistleblowers on Neuro Weapons and Neuro Technologies In Use Today, as well as in other recent articles reporting his disclosures. [Not a military whistleblower but an immersed insider, Giordano sometimes seems to be speaking for the entire DOD–currently DOW–as well as often, seemingly, for the CIA, whose whistleblowers have often referred to the CIA as DOD-CIA, which, going by their history, is probably accurate.]
The Cognitive Domain is Pretty Much Everything
Discussing the life, community, and social environments in which we are all steeped as the “Cognitive Domain,” Giordano stated that all dimensions of an individual’s experience including the physical could be targeted with neuroweapons of different kinds in (what he doesn’t say but) what needs to be publicly discussed as the illegal and inhumane construct of unapproved warfare it is, “Cognitive Warfare.”
Neurocognitive Weapons to Blast Brains Into Oblivion
Recalling Dr. Debra Schnelle’s reveal of Neurocognitive Weapons in 2019 at a “Blueribbon National Defense Conference”–developed neuroweapons which the Navy had identified as being able to induce Parkinson’s or dementia in a matter of a few days, Dr. James Giordano stated that he was a neurocognitive weapons expert:
“My area of subject matter expertise, if you will, is in the neurocognitive or in the sort of neurobiognitive dimension and domains.” [James Giordano, 29 September 2026/No Way Out Podcast.]
Neurocognition includes such brain processes as learning, memory, decision-making, and attention, and includes the study of those brain areas, structures, processes and functions which involve/are involved in these cognitive processes. Neurocognitive “disorders” such as mild and severe dementia–loss of memory–are listed as DSM-5 mental disorders--but this is surely inaccurate, for they refer to brain damage and should be listed as brain damage–yet another example of modern Psychiatry attempting to pass itself off as Neuroscience.The very same list of Neurodegenerative Diseases listed under Neuroscience have been listed by DSM-Cult Psychiatry* as Neurodegenerative Disorders. [Of interest: Neuroanatomy of Cognition.]
*DSM-Cult Psychiatry: Yes, all of Psychiatry which uses the DSM for billing and labeling and destroying lives based on the opinion of profiteers (a DSM Task Force beholden to Pharma) can be seen to be DSM-Cult Psychiatry, neither Science, nor Medical Science but a Police-and-Terror-linked Cult practicing Repression and Brain Modification, not to mention Intellectual Deceit and Treachery. For more, please see the publications, documentaries and video reports listed at Psychiatry Fraud. In this context, also see: Targeting People With Terror Weapons then Building a Lying Edifice of Mental Health | Reposted Nov 6, 2026.
The military needs to provide a list of Neurocognitive Diseases or Neurodegenerative Diseases of Cognition–Brain Damage affecting Cognition–effected by Neurocognitive Weapons--and Neuroscientists need to establish that actual brain damage cannot be listed as a DSM “Disorder” or fabrication (as they all are).
How such brain damage can be inflicted is a question for Neuroweapons scientists such as Giordano, who has stated he is a Neurocognitive Expert.
Of course, this is a subject he has lectured on widely before. [Some links at Public Disclosure By Military/Intelligence Whistleblowers on Neuro Weapons and Neuro Technologies In Use Today.]
Neurotargeting Domains and Subdomains Comprising the “Cognitive Domain”: Your Physical Brain, Your Psychology, Your Social Life and Space
Noting that “the figure that you illustrated for us comes from a paper that my colleague Dr. Robert Schmid, Lieutenant General Robert Schmid, Marine Corps and I wrote that we have published in the Small Wars Journal,” Dr. Giordano explains that your brain, your psychology, and your social life and space are all very “viable” and “valuable” targeting dimensions. “The idea of reconceptualizing that domain, the cognitive domain as those three parts also provides what I will call subtargeting domains that very realistically indeed are viable and are valuable as targeting dimensions.”
Your Brain Can be Targeted to Alter Your Thoughts, Emotions, Thinking Processes and Behavior
“One can target for example the biological aspects of an organism to affect their neurobiology, neurophysiology in ways that influence the cognitive dimensions of thought processing emotions that then can guide behaviors.”
Note, when a military neuroweapons scientist says “One can,” he means he can. He and his pals at DARPA in the Mad Scientists Club for Renegades who want to obliterate Education, Journalism, Scholarship, Critical Thinking, Independent Thinking, Public Discourse, Writing, and Speaking–in addition to Human Rights, Ethics, and Conscience itself, glibly calling all of this fodder for “Cognitive Warfare”–can.
You Can be Psychologically Targeted by False Narratives, Lies, and Propaganda
“One can influence the psychological domain through things like narratives, memes, tropes, symbols, semiotics, factors that can then affect an individual’s psychological responsivity to is occurring as a consequence of their underlying biology.”
This targeting of the psychological, social, and biological domains of anyone’s experience–he uses the word “organism” as if bacteria in a petri dish were being targeted–is not new, he alleges. “What is new is the engagement of various toolkits and methods to be able to assess, access and affect each of those domains independently and conjunctively.” Toolkits and methods–Sources and Methods?–in the realm of Neurotechnology, developed by the world’s militaries including the US with no-one’s permission and no-one’s consent.
“So again, what we’re seeing allows the ability to assess each and all of those domains, access each and all of those domains, and something that has become realized at present that really then changes this idea of cognitive engagement into a characterologically distinct dimension of what may be leveraged as warfare.” [Substitute “the deadly neurotech we’ve developed” for “what we’re seeing” and “the horrific neuroweaponry we have now” for “something that has become realized at present” and that sentence will make a little more sense.]
[At this point supposedly, Dr. Giordano’s video crashed, and the conversation was interrupted. A contrived crash, as part of Military Psy Ops? Entirely possible.]
That snippet of conversation on what Cognitive Warfare is conceived to be, leading up to the statements noted above, is extracted here:
“We’re Attacking the System now”
Brian Rivera (fighter pilot): In my view it’s critical that leaders understand how we perceive reality. what we understand about neuroscience and they need to take a little bit of time to digest that the predictive processing you know how perception the filters work, things that we just covered, but we’re attacking the system now and and I’m going to bring up a slide here about the cognitive domain and its dimensions that you introduced and I want you to talk a little bit about that, and what that means here just bring that, share that with everybody– all right so let’s move this conversation into this space and why what we just talked about is important when we look at this type of warfare.
J. Giordano: Sure.
B. Rivera: So, I mean, you’ve kind of launched us literally, real pun intended, into the domain of cognitive quote warfare. And at present, I mean, right now, as we’re recording this, there’s some ongoing debate about what cognitive warfare is, or is cognitive warfare a thing, or is it just, for example, psychological operations or information systems operations on steroids like PSY Ops or MISO on steroids?
James Giordano: Is it influence operations with a new twist? Well, I mean, I think that the answer to that question is, well, yes. I think there are components of that but I think that understanding the cognitive domain as being multicomponential I mean certainly becomes important to understand how the cognitive domain can be both a nexus as well as viable target of and for influence on a variety of different levels. Obviously we’ve known this for a long time. This is not earthshatteringly new news. I mean we can take a look at quote influence operations anywhere from what I will call simple propaganda. The idea of propagating little propagi to create to move to propagate something within the mindsets within the sort of functional cognitive realities or at least attentiveness of certain individuals and collectives. That’s old. I mean, very old. The idea of various narratives, various symbols being used to be able to stimulate not only the cognitive processes of thought, but the emotive aspects of cognition and the intentional, motivational, the cognitive aspects of cognition. Again, very very old. But what I think is changed is the level of sophistication, capability and granularity by and through which the cognitive domain can be accessed, assessed and affected.
We have to consider any organism, any organism that has a nervous system to be a triune. I mean clearly that organism is biological. And again I’m talking here about organic organisms. I’m not talking about AI for example. Again, a wonderful discussion that could spool off into a whole bunch of mental aerobatics. But if we take a look at organic organisms, right, we know they are organic. They have a biological reality to them. They are biological entities. But you cannot engage that biological entity without the realization of its environment. And that environment is social to that extent. In other words, it exists within a relative set of systems. And that system those systems create a social milieu, a social environ by which that organism is interacting with other organisms of like as well as dissimilar type. And they’re doing it in certain ways that have particular structural rules, formatives, etc. Fine, we understand that.
And again, this happens from literally almost the point of the individual’s birthing through all its levels of relative socialization and interaction with conspecifics and non-conspecifics. What’s going to be beneficial? What’s not going to be beneficial? How do I need to act around family, friends, etc. What things in my environment, in my social environment, can I interact with in a positive way? What need to be interacted with in a more cautious way? Fine. The interlocator, if you will, the liaising piece between the biological and the ecologically or environmentally quote social systemic aspect is that cognitive reception and expression domain or dimension which is the psychological dimension and that psychological dimension is the interface between thought inclusive of feeling and those things that thought then executes or doesn’t execute which is behavior. So we can take a look at any organism as a functional triune three parts. Obviously the biological basis of that the psychological aspects of both reception and expression that exist embedded in and vested and nested within some environment that then provides the social dimension. So the cognitive domain appreciating the cognitive domain as that ongoing interaction in real time of biopsychosocial realities becomes very important.
Again is this brand new absolutely not it is not. I mean we could take a look at some of the pioneering work in medicine of George Engel talking about a biopsychosocial model of medicine and that’s axiomatic to that model. But what is new is the engagement of various toolkits and methods to be able to assess, access and effect each of those domains independently and conjunctively. So again, my area of subject matter expertise, if you will, is in the neurocognitive or in the sort of neurobiognitive dimension and domains. And the figure that you illustrated for us comes from a paper that my colleague Dr. Robert Schmid, Lieutenant General Robert Schmid, Marine Corps and I wrote that we have published in the Small Wars Journal. The idea of reconceptualizing that domain, the cognitive domain as those three parts also provides what I will call subtargeting domains that very realistically indeed are viable and are valuable as targeting dimensions.
One can target for example the biological aspects of an organism to affect their neurobiolog,y neurophysiology in ways that influence the cognitive dimensions of thought processing emotions that then can guide behaviors. One can influence the psychological domain through things like narratives, memes, tropes, symbols, semiotics, factors that can then affect an individual’s psychological responsivity to is occurring as a consequence of their underlying biology. So again, what we’re seeing allows the ability to assess each and all of those domains, access each and all of those domains, and something that has become realized at present that really then changes this idea of cognitive engagement into a characterologically distinct dimension of what may be leveraged as warfare.
So apparently I’m running it now through my desktop, but of course I’m an NDU, so we don’t have camera allowances. That’s fine. Yeah. So, if you want to continue, we can just pick up and just do the voice over. Besides, I’ve been told I have a great face for radio.”
“Neurobiological Targeting” to Affect Nervous Systems, Brains, Cognition, Thoughts, Behavior
The “Cognitive Domain” as representing the Biological, Psychological, and Social aspects of targets’ bodies and lives was incessantly returned to in this conversation.
Giordano stated that “Neurobiological targeting utilizing for example what our group has referred to as Neuroweapons will directly and explicitly affect the nervous system per se to affect the functions of that nervous system which certainly can modulate, affect cognitions, emotions and behaviors. So by targeting physiological effects of the neurobiology of an organism that physiology can affect a variety of their constitutional elements inclusive of the way they think, the way they feel, inclusive of the way they feel in their body.”
In other words, physical attack with Neuroweapons will have physical and physiological effects which in turn will affect a person’s thinking, feeling, and sense of bodily comfort.
“Social Targeting” to Evoke Psychological Reactions to Be Later Condemned as DSM-Cult Mental Illness
Similarly, noted Giordano, “social targeting” creating hostile, problematic, or threatening social situations of tension or conflict could induce psychological reactivity and physiological correlates for feelings such as “dread”–a peculiar word he appears to have carefully chosen to avoid the common parlance of Mental Illness: Paranoia, Fear, Anxiety. In this way, “Social Targeting” would combine with the use of Neuroweapons to create both physiological effects and psychological effects–such as, in this example from Giordano of “Dread”, Anxiety, Worry, Fear, easily (and wrongfully) interpreted in-community as Irrational Paranoia, Fear, or Anxiety, symptoms of DSM-Cult Labeled Mental Illness–a subject Giordano carefully doesn’t go into here–and imagines he has saved himself from confessing. But that is essentially what he is saying here. Neuroweapons and Social Targeting are being used deliberately, he is revealing, to evoke the symptoms of DSM-Cult-Labeled Mental Illness–as I have consistently pointed out in numerous reports and op-eds since 2014, and as numerous other researchers, journalists, whistleblowers, and writers have too.
Further, he has pointed out a few times in this conversation that people’s psychology is being affected by the use of Neuroweapons–and here he is speaking about different aspects of “Cognitive Warfare” to affect people’s cognition and behavior by attacking them physically, socially, and psychologically. “Cognitive Warfare” in other words is a multi-pronged attack on people–and those waging this War intend to attack people’s psychology, expression of personality, feelings, and behavior. Behavioral Effect Weapons surfaced by the Joint Non Lethal Weapons Directorate–also anti-personnel directed energy weapons–do the same thing.
Psychiatrists–who pretend Neuroweapons and Behavioral Effect Weapons don’t exist and haven’t been developed, and aren’t in use, as widely reported–as well as physicians and psychologists especially need to know about the reality–however unapproved by People–of Neuroweapons, and how the Military is intentionally using them, to affect life experience, bodies, behavior, and psychology. Psychiatrists in fact need to be continually exposed for this deliberate affecting of ignorance–and all aware of Neuroweapons, AP-DEWs, and Behavioral Effect Weapons need to steer clear of Psychiatry.
This conversation is extracted below:
Brian Rivera: And here you have this slide we have top down, middle out, bottom up. Can you talk a little bit about this and how it uh affects us in Cognitive Warfare?
James Giordano: Yeah, I mean so again this is not only cognitive quote warfare but the type of ways in which individuals engage. So if we look at quote Bottom as those things that are foundational, structural and functional, now we’re looking at those things that are physiological, anatomical, right? Clearly our biology affects our psychology. In other words, I’m not being a reductive materialist, but one can certainly make the statement that our neurobiology on a variety of different levels is at least contributory if not directly substantive, towards our psychology–what we feel, how we feel, what we know. And of course that psychology, those psychological aspects then drive aspects of our behaviors that ultimately are expressive in how we engage what may be our interactions with others, other things, other persons, other organisms etc. So we can take a look at this, saying bottom being most fundamental essentially most intimate to the organism as an embodied organism are those things that are bodily biological.
Vector between inside and outside is the psychological domain. Psychological in terms of both cognitive as well as behavioral and ultimately the expression of those behaviors are going to have some type of externalized impact, influence, effect. That’s the social domain. Knowing that [laughing] clearly these domains can also become targetable entities. Yeah. So one can work from the outside in and or from the inside out or affect the middle to be able to have some inference and influence on both.
So for example, neurobiological targeting utilizing for example what our group has referred to as neuroweapons will directly and explicitly affect the nervous system per se to affect the functions of that nervous system which certainly can modulate, affect cognitions, emotions and behaviors. So by targeting physiological effects of the neurobiology of an organism that physiology can affect a variety of their constitutional elements inclusive of the way they think, the way they feel, inclusive the way they feel in their body. In other words, do I feel well? Do I not feel well? And in my feeling well or not well, how am I functioning? And that can then affect not only their psychological state in terms of how they perceive their phenomenological condition but how they act and how they relate to others.
I can then take it the other direction. I can work top down and I can engage social targeting something as broad as literally an environment creating an environment that’s relatively inhospitable, problematic etc. exacerbating existing environmental and ecological conditions, affecting social dynamics, creating various forms of social tension and conflict.
And by so doing, I can then affect individual psychological reactivity. I can perhaps instigate in an environment factors, variables that may be perceived as threatening. And in so doing, I can then instigate or elicit sensations and perceptions of dread. And those sensations and perceptions of dread can then essentially be correlated with physiological changes of what types of things are not only involved in the cognition but in the physical expression of that cognition. Here the proverbial fight or flight response. Once again going back to what neuroscientist Antonio Damasio refers to as the feeling of what happens inside me.
So we see how engaging the three dimensions of the cognitive domain can be essentially exploited to be able to identify various target vectors and then gain various targeting solutions that will affect one or more of those targetable entities to be able to have a desired outcome in changing what the cognitive domain is and affecting the underlying biology, the psychological dimension, and the social expression and engagement.
Traumatic Brain Injury Neuroweapons, Biochemical Neuroweapons, Directable Energy Neuroweapons to Effect Concussive Events and PTSD to Affect Brains and Behavior
In responding to a question on whether concussions could be induced with a weapon and whether the changes in behavior succeeding concussions and PTSD in veterans could be so induced, Giordano answered in the affirmative, in fact in so casual and cavalier a manner as to illustrate the thoughtless arrogance of the military implicit in its actions of developing and using brain damage weapons on people.
Citing the example of the diplomats and spies who suffered induced “immaculate concussions” found to be induced by pulse microwave weapons, Giordano pointed out that numerous weapon systems to affect thinking and behavior were in his–the Military’s–arsenal:”Any weapon, any means of contending or dealing with others that can influence their thought, their emotions, and their behaviors in ways that are more consistent with what you want them to be. That’s an Oxford English dictionary definition of a weapon, right?
So once again, if I wanted to actually affect a brain, I could certainly affect a brain. I mean, I can put a round through somebody’s head. Yeah. And that’s going to definitely affect their behavior. I can whack them across the head with a stick or I could do that in ways that are far more insidious, perhaps subtle, or even exceedingly overt. So the idea of what things might be able to be leveraged as biochemical weaponry that affect the neural system, these are neuroweapons. Here, think of drugs, bugs, toxins, and devices. And to that last domain, devices, we certainly have to appreciate the use of selected forms of directable energies to affect neural function.”
In addition to this disclosure on the existence of neuroweapons in the US military arsenal, he spoke further on the neuroweapons which affected the diplomats and CIA agents as reported from 2015 and 2016 as being known to disrupt activity and behavior “whether they were sonic energies or things along the electromagnetic spectrum that were able to significantly disrupt neural cell and neural network and node integrity so as to be able to disrupt cognitive processes inclusive of some of the emotional aspects of cognition that were ultimately important to a range of behaviors, occupational behaviors, avocational behaviors, or just daily functions of activities of daily living.“
“Things” rather than pulse microwave weapons, previously exposed by Dr. Beatrice Golomb as likeliest means of attack, which Brian Rivera reminded Giordano were likely in existence. An odd slipping by both these military retirees into attempts to obfuscate what has already been long known about the military arsenal, which must be an occupational handicap among the Classified set.
Not likely, Giordano corrected, but a reality, which governmental agencies had identified as a clear and present threat–forgetting for the moment probably that he had spent the hour talking about Neuroweapon capabilities the military had. He stated that directed energy weapons had been viable for the past 10-15 years and were in manufactured and operational use.
“Certainly much of my own work together with a number of other colleagues have recognized that the technological and scientific readiness level of utilizing various forms of energy that can be directed in weaponizable ways, has been something that has been viable for at least the past 10-15 years and certainly may represent weapon systems in iteration.”
That conversation is here:
Brian Rivera: So I wrote on there TBI down at (Neurobiological targeting) and I’m going somewhere with this. So you talked about the environment of social targeting. So let’s put this in another domain if you will, leadership. If I create the environment where it makes others feel safe to bring their full self to work, we call that psychological safety. Okay, that is that environment. I can create that environment as a leader.
So, I’m kind of I’m going somewhere with this. So, at the bottom there, you have neurobiological targeting. So, let me walk through Traumatic brain injury. So, we have breachers. We have folks that in the military have multiple concussions, you know, that contribute to traumatic brain injury. It alters the way they perceive sense and act. So, from the lens of TBI, can you take lessons from understanding concussive events and apply a method, a cognitive warfare approach or method that does something very similar? And I don’t know if you could talk about that, but I’m throwing that out there as, is there a way to replicate a concussive event to create, rapidly create the conditions that those veterans who are suffering from TBI and later on PTSD? Can you create that condition through a weapon?
Well, I mean, let’s face it, I could be–the answer is really simple. Any weapon, any means of contending or dealing with others that can influence their thought, their emotions, and their behaviors in ways that are more consistent with what you want them to be. That’s an Oxford English dictionary definition of a weapon, right? So once again, if I wanted to actually affect a brain, I could certainly affect a brain. I mean, I can put a round through somebody’s head. Yeah. And that’s going to definitely affect their behavior. I can whack them across the head with a stick or I could do that in ways that are far more insidious, perhaps subtle, or even exceedingly overt. So the idea of what things might be able to be leveraged as biochemical weaponry that affect the neural system, these are neuroweapons. Here, think of drugs, bugs, toxins, and devices. And to that last domain, devices, we certainly have to appreciate the use of selected forms of directable energies to affect neural function. And of course, as you may know, some of the earlier discussions of that some 10 years ago were defining some of these injuries of individuals who were downrange of direct energy devices as immaculate concussions. In other words, they exhibited the signs and symptoms of a concussive injury absent what appeared to be the actual structural insult of a concussion. And this was due to the effects of those directable energies, whether they were sonic energies or things along the electromagnetic spectrum that were able to significantly disrupt neural cell and neural network and node integrity so as to be able to disrupt cognitive processes inclusive of some of the emotional aspects of cognition that were ultimately important to a range of behaviors, occupational behaviors, avocational behaviors, or just daily functions of activities of daily living.
Brian Rivera: But it is very likely that these things exist today.
James Giordano: Oh no, no, it’s not very likely. It is a reality because a clear and present threat as identified by governmental agencies–Certainly much of my own work together with a number of other colleagues have recognized that the technological and scientific readiness level of utilizing various forms of energy that can be directed in weaponizable ways, has been something that has been viable for at least the past 10-15 years and certainly may represent weapon systems in iteration.
“Cognitive Warfare as a Multi-Dimensional Engagement Space”: “BioPsychoSocial Reality” Life-Takedown Attacking of “Those Individuals Who Would Be Targeted” in “Social Targeting”
Examining the question of “constraining” the environment in order to influence people toward preset (military-devised) outcomes in “Social Targeting” by using Narratives, that is, False Narratives–“memes, tropes, and things like that”–James Giordano answered that indeed, DARPA had devised just such a program in 2008, 2009 with its Narrative Networks project to attack “those individuals who would be targeted” with “multi-dimensional Propaganda” to force cognitive processing into channels of harm emotionally and thence influence them into pre-planned “attitudes, values, and actions”.
He also discussed the use of subtleties such as “color, orientation of angle, various types of images, various types of caricaturures, again, memes, tropes, narratives” to affect how neural cognitive systems function–which suggests all-round eco-swarming with Color-symbol-storyline stalking.
This manner of Social Targeting is precisely what Americans–and millions worldwide targeted similarly–report as extreme, 24/7, social harassment, with neighbors and strangers engaging in “Set-Ups” of false-accusation attacks, sudden vitriol in public and set-up color-symbol-storyline narratives in one’s vicinity, swarming in public, vehicular swarming, constant interruption with phone-calls, visitors, crossers on roadways, disruptions online with cyberhacking, contrived street and neighborhood theater, and extreme noise harassment–all of which has been visited upon this writer as well, as reported for 13 years now. Disruptors and social-attackers in fact push through their own pre-planned outcomes of calling Police and forcing people into ERs, Psych Wards, Jails, and Psych Hospitals–which could also fall under this rubric Giordano describes of “multidimensional engagement”, affecting their targets’ lives socially, psychologically, and biologically or physically.
Exposing MK ULTRA in Crime Creation
In fact, Giordano goes further and describes the use of clandestine and covert methodologies to create situations of violence by instigating such using neuroweapons and propaganda to “influence individuals’ and collectives’ volatility to violence“–again, peculiar phrasing, and clearly a blame-assigning construction to posit that “individuals and collectives” are sitting around being “volatile to violence”–perhaps emanating Violence as they sit?–and the virtuous Military (Systematic Practice of Violence) comes along and merely “influences” them–using “a Neuroweapon or direct or overt Propaganda”–into what can be read here as Acts of Violence. Exactly as the FBI has run or runs its COINTELPRO and Parallel Construction crimes, it appears. So is Giordano here confessing to MK ULTRA MK MK on mass shooters, stabbers, killers and such? How can this be legal or lawful or permitted? Basically he says that clandestine and covert operations can be run to obfuscate source of attack and prevent attribution and “proportionality of response”. But how can people be instigated–with neuroweapons and propaganda– into acts of violence?–surely that is completely criminal, by both US Law and International Law. Doing it clandestinely and covertly only exacerbates the problem here, it does not excuse it. [“Oh yes, we’re Clandestine, you see, and Covert, and therefore we can commit any old crime we like!”]
Yet it is precisely this kind of clandestine neuroactivation with Electromagnetic or/and BCI Technology–or Hypnosis and use of Alters–that many people suspect is behind the phenomenon of Mass Shooters in the US.
However, the ambiguity in Giordano’s statements here suggest also that he could be speaking here of cognitively reshaping people’s brains away from thoughts of violence and crime, and toward something else–but in an undetectable way, clandestinely and covertly; still, the reveal here is that this too is MK ULTRA, Brain Modification, if a Neuroweapon is used.
What he said: “The idea of utilizing, for example, a quote neuroweapon or direct and overt propaganda to be able to then influence individuals’ and collectives’ volatility to violence can be used clandestinely in operations that we know something went on there, but we don’t quite know the who done it or covertly where in fact attribution in terms of was something done or not done becomes problematic, ambiguous, and as a consequence very very difficult to respond to because proportionality of response is based upon attribution.“
“Each and all of these things can be utilized as part of a larger sphere of engagement which is cognitive warfare as a multi-dimensional engagement space that can hit each and all of these different domains and dimensions either selectively or in some combination. “
All-round social harassment to such an extreme extent–even in the absence of “using” people’s “volatility to violence” in clandestine and covert operations as Giordano has stated–sounds frankly criminal, for this is Life Manipulation being spoken of, as “Cognitive Warfare”. Deliberate manipulation of brains, psychology, reactivity causes life-takedown* on all sides and extreme harm to people’s lives and psyches, as hundreds of people so targeted unlawfully have reported to this writer over 12 years of journalism and in their own books, social media.and websites. It is neither acceptable nor humane and cannot be excused as part of a Military Weapons Arsenal, it is essentially Cruelty and Sadism and Encroachment on Lives, Careers, Professions, Education to destroy people thus. Such weapons and warfare need to go.
[*Life-takedown of those being unlawfully targeted is also being effected by lies, rumors, smears, reputation attacks and covert blacklisting so people cannot find jobs or volunteer work even, thus socially isolating, marginalizing, and leperizing people. This adds to the all-round “multidimensional” social and psychological harassment Giordano has detailed in this segment.]
That whole conversation is extracted here:
Brian Rivera: So something else we’ve been covering on here quite a bit is a constraints-led approach in coaching. Setting the conditions in the environment, the constraints in the environment to influence the outcome. Right? So think of like, mission command. We, you know, we have an intent. We’re explaining the what, but we’re going to let the performer or athlete discover the how. Right? So to me when we start looking at perception action coupling, ecological dynamics, ecological psychology, free energy principle, active inference and constraints approach and what we just talked about that social targeting can be done through some type of constraints and I think you brought up narrative, memes tropes and things like that. Does that resonate with you?
James Giordano: Oh yeah, without a doubt. I mean you know again we can sort of look a bit historically back to 2008, 2009– DARPA had a program which was called Narrative Networks and the idea of the Narrative Networks was to appreciate the biopsychosocial reality of those individuals who would essentially be targeted whether they’re individuals or collectives of individuals and what types of things could be done to affect their cognitive processing to be able to alter their decision-making processes, their actions, affect, attitudes, values. That was some of the early work that the program manager at that time was Dr. William Casmir. Um, a very very highly trained neurocognitive scientist. And a lot of that work was based upon some of the early work dealing with the effects of multi-dimensional propaganda. In other words, what types of things could be used to affect individuals’ cognitive processing in ways that might influence their emotional valence to then instigate particular attitudes, values, and actions.
And if we take that further, the more we learn about the way neural cognitive systems function, even in terms of some some real subtleties, color, orientation of angle, various types of images, various types of caricaturures, again, memes, tropes, narratives. Each and all of these things can be utilized as part of a larger sphere of engagement which is cognitive warfare as a multi-dimensional engagement space that can hit each and all of these different domains and dimensions either selectively or in some combination. And these can be rendered in ways that are very overt I mean kinetically.
The idea of utilizing, for example, a quote neuroweapon or direct and overt propaganda to be able to then influence individuals’ and collectives’ volatility to violence can be used clandestinely in operations that we know something went on there, but we don’t quite know the who done it or covertly where in fact attribution in terms of was something done or not done becomes problematic, ambiguous, and as a consequence very very difficult to respond to because proportionality of response is based upon attribution. So for sure the idea of cognitive warfare being multi-dimensional working within the cognitive domain is able to address each and all of these aspects, these dimensions, the bio, the psychological, and the social and do so across a spectrum of potential engagements non-kinetic to kinetic, covert to overt.”
Giordano’s use of “kinetic” and “non-kinetic” needs to be examined more closely, since in military parlance, it appears Kinetic means weapons causing physical damage and Non-kinetic not. Neuroweapons would cause physical damage. Electromagnetic weapons may be invisible in operation but cannot be said to be non-kinetic since they also cause physical damage. Neuroweapons and electromagnetic weapons would also cause more than physical damage, since they can be used to influence cognition and behavior, as also revealed here.

A number of articles and videos on these subjects have been published at the Small Wars Journal, several by James Giordano, whose article and discourse at The Emerging Armamentarium of Cognitive Warfare with Dr. Giordano led to this podcast.

The Inhumanity of Targeting People With Neuroweapons and Propaganda, Social Targeting, and Psychological Targeting Has Been Revealed in This Podcast
This military-centric podcast conversation covers other topics of interest such as Human-Machine interactions and AI as well and needs to be listened to to be believed. Once you wade past the boatloads of jargon and deliberate refusal to speak in everyday terms, it becomes quite fascinating really to examine the armadillo-like techno-speak of these two maestros of Weapon-Worship. Brian Rivera at one point talks about the possibility of humans being affected by heart-EMFs in quite some apprehensive terms. [He would find this post seriously disturbing.] The notion of (the Military) being cognitively influenced without (their) our knowledge or control seemed especially troublesome. Then there was the question of how the heart of someone transplanted into another could affect that other’s nervous system–or brain and thinking.
There was also a lengthy focus on dispositional bias and pre-dispositional bias, in relation to influencing people and creating false paradigms and false reality-constructs to effect desired military outcomes, something to report on another day. Suffice to say the Military seems to believe it can do anything and get away with anything, including flooding the world with Falsehood, and removing people’s ability to think, process, question, awaken, and grow, individually and collectively, in Consciousness rather than in Miasmic Aggression led by a Mammon-centric War Industry keen only on its own profits and continuity and careless of the Harm it inflicts in the world.
Neuroweapons–as also Cognitive Warfare in all its Multidimensional Cover--are Inhumane, Unethical, Cruel, Brain Damaging by Definition, Illegal, and Unlawful. Human Rights-aware and Civil Rights-aware activists and lawyers, Animal Rights activists and lawyers, International organizations and lawyers with an understanding of International Law, Journalists and Writers, Artists, Musicians, Designers, all Creative Professionals in every field, Educators and Scientists with an interest in Intellectual Property need to wake up and write, speak, publish their thoughts and understandings of our innate human autonomy, sanctity of brain and mind and body, innate human right to independence of thinking, cognition, education, and intellectual growth, and take lawful action to halt the use of Neuroweapons and Cognitive Warfare on people and animals.
Please share this article widely. It was crashed twice in the writing, with much cyberhacking and biohacking attendant–here as I write from Bangalore, India. It appears the Indian Military and Police mechanism is as nervous about the pointed-to disclosures here of military and police perfidy as the NSA, CIA, FBI, DHS, DOD, US LE.
Those unlawfully targeted and struggling to live their lives regardless of “Multidimensional Engagement in Cognitive Warfare” inclusive of Cognitive Warfare on their families against them–which must be stopped–may especially be interested in this report and the podcast it covers. Most especially, the Inhumanity of Targeting People With Neuroweapons and Propaganda, Social Targeting, and Psychological Targeting has been revealed in this podcast by the US Military as represented by these two military men.
