Of course it exists. The microwave auditory effect was demonstrated by civilian scientists 35 years ago. (
35 years ago!) And it was known to the US military in World War II -
more than 60 years ago!

The technology isn't generally available to the civilian population, so you have to assume this type of harassment is coming from military/intelligence sources. And once you bring the federal government into the mix, the answer to the question, "Why would they expend this kind of effort on someone?" is "Why not - it's only your money."
Have you checked out the national debt lately? Have you checked out Washington Post's Top Secret America web site where it is revealed that 850,000+ military contractors, government employees, and other Americans have Top Secret clearances? Do you realize that suppressing dissent is the single most important function of a state, to be pursued at any cost?
“[It's] vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent… the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
- Joseph Goebbels, propaganda minister in Nazi Germany
In the Soviet Union or China, dissidents could simply be declared mentally ill without all that troublesome evidence-gathering or interviewing, and sent off to medical prisons. It's called political psychiatry (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/political_psychiatry ). In allegedly open societies in the West, we define what the symptoms of mental illness are, then we harass dissidents and whistleblowers into reporting those symptoms to police or mental health specialists. Same end result. It just takes a little longer.
If you're an American... you've been had, buddy. Time to start paying attention to what your government is doing.
