  • Sonic, Infrasonic, and Ultrasonic Frequencies
    SONIC, INFRASONIC, AND ULTRASONIC FREQUENCIES: The Utilisation of Waveforms as Weapons, Apparatus for Psychological Manipulation, and as Instruments of Physiological Influence by Industrial, Entertainment, and Military Organisations. TOBY HEYS A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Liverpool John Moores University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2011 1 ABSTRACT This study is a trans-disciplinary and trans-historical investigation into civilian and battlefield contexts in which speaker systems have been utilised by the military-industrial and military-entertainment complexes to apply pressure to mass social groupings and the individuated body. Drawing on authors such as historian/sociologist Michel Foucault, economist Jacques Attali, philosopher Michel Serres, political geographer/urban planner Edward Soja, musician/sonic theorist Steve Goodman, and cultural theorist/urbanist Paul Virilio, this study engages a wide range of texts to orchestrate its arguments. Conducting new strains of viral theory that resonate with architectural, neurological, and political significance, this research provides new and original analysis about the composition of waveformed geography. Ultimately, this study listens to the ways in which the past and current utilisation of sonic, infrasonic, and ultrasonic frequencies as weapons, apparatus for psychological manipulation, and instruments of physiological influence, by industrial, civilian, entertainment, and military organisations, predict future techniques of socio­ spatialised organisation. In chapter one it is argued that since the inception of wired radio speaker systems into U.S. industrial factories in 1922, the development of sonic strategies based primarily on the scoring of architectonic spatiality, cycles of repetition, and the enveloping dynamics of surround sound can be traced to the sonic torture occurring in Guantanamo Bay during the first decade of the twenty-first century.

  • GOLD FEVER Rapacious Mining to Satisfy Worldwide Lust for the Precious Metal Is Destroying Pristine Rainforest in the Amazon
    GOLD FEVER Rapacious mining to satisfy worldwide lust for the precious metal is destroying pristine rainforest in the Amazon BY DONOVAN WEBSTER PHOTOGRAPHS BY RON HAVIV 38 SMITHSONIAN.COM • FEBRUARY 2012 To find flecks of gold, workers devour the rainforest floor with water cannons. “There are a lot of accidents,” says one. “The sides of the hole can fall away, can crush you.” It’s a few hours before dawn in the Peruvian rainforest, and five bare light bulbs hang from a wire above a 40-foot-deep pit. Gold miners, operat- ing illegally, have worked in this chasm since 11 a.m. yesterday. Standing waist-deep in muddy water, they chew coca leaves to stave off exhaustion and hunger. In the pit a minivan-size gasoline engine, set on a wooden cargo pallet, powers a pump, which siphons water from a nearby river. A man holding a flexible ribbed-plastic hose aims the water jet at the walls, tearing away chunks of earth and enlarging the pit every minute until it’s now about the size of six football fields laid side by luxury goods made from the precious metal. “Who is going to side. The engine also drives an industrial vacuum pump. An- stop a poor man from Cuzco or Juliaca or Puno who earns $30 other hose suctions the gold-fleck-laced soil torn loose by a month from going to Madre de Dios and starting to dig?” the water cannon. asks Antonio Brack Egg, formerly Peru’s minister of the envi- At first light, workers hefting huge Stihl chain saws roar ronment.

  • “Hump” Airlift and Sino-Us Strategy in World War Ii
    KEEPING CHINA IN THE WAR: THE TRANS-HIMALAYAN “HUMP” AIRLIFT AND SINO-US STRATEGY IN WORLD WAR II DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By John D. Plating, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John F. Guilmartin, Jr., Adviser Professor Allan R. Millett _____________________________ Professor Christopher A. Reed Adviser Graduate Program in History ABSTRACT The trans-Himalayan airlift of World War II, better known as the “Hump,” is recognized among specialists as the first sustained and most ambitious combat airlift operation in modern history. Cobbled together with only a handful of airplanes and aircrews in early 1942, the operation grew to become the ultimate expression of the US government’s commitment to China, in the end delivering nearly 740,000 tons of cargo. This was no small feat, either, as the US Army Air Forces’ aircraft flew in what is arguably the world’s worst weather system and over its most rugged terrain, all the while under the threat of enemy attack. The thesis of this dissertation is that the Hump airlift was initially started to serve as a display of American support for its Chinese ally who had been at war with Japan since 1937. However, by the start of 1944, with the airlift’s capability gaining momentum, American strategists set aside concerns for the ephemeral concept of Chinese national will and used the airlift as the primary means of supplying American forces in China in preparation for the US’s final assault on Japan.
