Likewise, thank you to Brad Roth at Oakland University, John Wikswo at Vanderbilt University, and Bob Fagaly at the IEEE for their input on the history and constraints of magnetometry. Thank you to Douglas London, CIA Senior Operations Officer (Rtd), for his input on the story. His book, The Recruiter, can be found here - https://ve42.co/Recruiter A big thanks to Herbert Lin at Stanford University and Emma Briant at the University of Notre Dame for their knowledge on deception and propaganda tactics. ▀▀▀ References Exclusive | 'Ghost Murmur' via the New York Post Exclusive | Trump confirms CIA 'Ghost Murmur' tool via the New York Post Béchard, D.
