We’re not talking unfiled mad-scientist notes. These are granted patents with numbers you can Google right now on patents.google.com . Many of these read like they were ripped straight from a conspiracy forum: remote mind control, voices beamed into your skull, weather as a weapon, hidden signals in your TV and phone. This one is a little out there, and coming from us, that's saying something. The Patent Numbers referenced in this Episode - US4686605A, US6506148B2, US5159703A, US3951134A, US6470214B1, US6587729B2, US6011991A, US6017302A, US6238333B1, US4616261A, US6091994A, US5123899A, US4395600A, US7784390B1, US9504419B2, US7490538B2.

The Victorian Anti-Self \"use\" items were scattered around under various numbers so a generalized reference was used.
