hough most people study gi for health reasons, the Russians may have
used it for much more sinister purposes. Some researchers believe that
the Russians have made a machine that uses gi energy as a weapon to
hurt, and sometimes kill, other people. This machine, invented in secret during
the 1960s, was discovered by the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in
the late 1980s after the fall of communism. “We started getting all of these files
that were once secret,” said one retired Air Force Colonel who helped translate
Russian military documents into English. “We thought that this was a joke. I
mean, who would have taken this stuff seriously, the idea that mind waves could
kill a person? But the KGB did a lot of research into the stuff,” he said.
The machine looked like a fighter pilot’s helmet, but with a lot of wires and
computer attachments on its outside. According to some Russian scientists who
worked on this top-secret project, test subjects would put the helmet on their
head, direct their eyes at their target, and concentrate. After a few seconds, the
targets would begin to react strangely. “We were able to achieve success (death)
with small animals up to the size of a dog. Larger animals and humans would
just get hot and sweaty,” said a Russian military officer who worked on the
program. Thankfully for the dogs and cats of the
world, this program was stopped in the mid
1960s, when Russia decided to focus more on
the space race with the United States to reach
the moon.
