Telepath: possible primary resource

Hey again everyone,
Some users mentioned that they'd like to see my thoughts on other Tomorrow's Harvest songs after reading my thoughts on "Jacquard Causeway".
Below are some of my thoughts regarding the Tomorrow's Harvest track, "Telepath".

According to the BoC interviews, Mike and Marcus tend to conduct a lot of research as part of their writing process. I think this process is one of the many factors that sets their music apart from so many other bands. But anyway..
I learned from bocpages.org that "Telepath" most likely has to do with the Microwave Audio Effect. In searching the web for further information on the subject, I came across what I think is a primary source for BoC's research on the subject:
http://www.freedomfchs.com/usarmyrptonmicrowavefx.pdf
The above pdf document is somewhat self-explanatory if you read it, but for those of you with less time, it's a de-classified (in 2006) US army report on the bio-effects of ultra-high-frequency-broadcasting weapons. (i.e. objects that broadcast frequencies in the MHz, GHz, etc.)
I would recommend a solid examination the first 12 or so pages of this report. At least, that's how much I read before I decided that I had found what I was looking for. The first couple pages are not necessarily connected to the song (in my opinion), but it's still interesting to read a document from inside the US Military-Industrial complex. And since you've almost certainly seen the album imagery, I think it's rather clear that at least some of those images are connected to the military.
Anyway, yes, the report does get a bit redundant at times; this is the government after all. Nevertheless the report is still quite an eyebrow-raiser if you know where to pay attention. And especially when juxtaposed with what you might see as an advertisement for the Army during the Super Bowl (ha), the above report sheds a very different light on the the US Military-Industrial complex. They are openly researching and developing tools to "safely" warm up people's body temperatures to induce fever-levels via microwave radiation, and possibly even tools to transmit language into the brains of individuals.
The following quote is on page 9 of the web pdf:
"it seems possible that this technology could be developed to the point where words could be transmitted to be heard like the spoken word, except that it could only be heard within a person's head. In one experiment, communication of the words from one to ten using 'speech modulated' microwave energy was successfully demonstrated."
There's a lot more interesting information than just the above single quote, but anyway, I think it's quite likely that this report had a direct influence on "Telepath". I'd love to hear what other people think about this.
