Electronic Surveillance Project (ESP)

Overview

The Electronic Surveillance Project (ESP) is a grassroots organization founded by Julianne McKinney in 1992 to investigate and document complaints of electronic harassment and mind-control experimentation involving directed-energy technologies.

Founding Context

McKinney, Director of the ESP, approached approximately half-dozen individuals with appeals for assistance in ending what they believed to be electronic harassment and mind-control experimentation, possibly involving the CIA. By mid-November 1992, this number had grown to 25 complainants.

Organizational Background

The ESP is affiliated with the Association of National Security Alumni (ANSA), a Washington, D.C.-based organization founded in 1974 by former intelligence officers who left government service due to ethical concerns about covert operations. The ANSA was established following the Church and Rockefeller Committee Hearings that exposed Operations MKULTRA, MHCHAOS, and COINTELPRO.

Investigative Approach

The ESP's methodology involves:

1. Complaint collection — Gathering testimony from individuals reporting electronic harassment symptoms
2. Technology verification — Cross-referencing reported effects with known directed-energy weapon capabilities documented in government publications
3. Pattern analysis — Identifying similarities across multiple cases to establish systematic targeting rather than isolated incidents
4. Publicity strategy — Limiting the success of such operations through widespread disclosure

Documented Findings (as of mid-1993)

The ESP documented approximately 25 individuals reporting:

| Category | Details |
|----------|--------|
| Overt harassment | Sudden neighbor hostility, harassing calls, mail tampering, noise campaigns, door slamming |
| Electronic symptoms | Hearing voices (RF hearing), gastrointestinal disturbances, sleep disruption, auto attacks |
| Staged accidents | Deliberate collisions, tailgating with gun threats, one case involving a mother driving off a cliff during A-bomb secrets research |

Legal Framework Challenges

The ESP identified significant gaps in legal protections:

• Neither Congress nor courts appear willing to investigate "black" intelligence and weapons procurement programs
• Government contractors do not need to know their services support U.S. Intelligence objectives (per Executive Order 12333)
• No specific legislation addresses directed-energy weapon harassment of civilians
• The Senate Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management's July 8, 1992 report noted DoD's creation of hard-to-monitor "shell" contractors as disbursement centers for funding programs
