Weaponizing Fantastic Technologies

“We” are able to do some pretty fantastic things!  I say “we” – but it’s the really wealthy that can do a lot of pretty fantastic things…  The US Government seems to agree – back in 2001 US Congress reviewed a bill which would ensure that technologies would not;

“Inflicting death or injury on, or damaging or destroying, a person (or the biological life, bodily health, mental health, or physical and economic well-being of a person) through the use of land-based, sea-based, or space-based systems using radiation, electromagnetic, psychotronic, sonic, laser, or other energies directed at individual persons or targeted populations for the purpose of information war, mood management, or mind control of such persons or populations”.  And that it would include such weapons as, “electronic, psychotronic, or information weapons; high altitude ultra low frequency weapon systems; plasma, electromagnetic, sonic, or ultrasonic weapons; laser weapon systems; chemical, biological, environmental, climate, or tectonic weapons.”

Now let’s admit to some facts – like we can control the weather.

Let’s enlarge this picture.  In a transcript of a US Department of Defense news briefing by Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen on April of 1997 it is noted that research is being performed by nations, such as:

  • something like an Ebola Virus, certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic specific so that they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races
  • designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops
  • engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves

In a report released under the US Freedom of Information Act, titled “Bioeffects Of Selected Nonlethal Weapons””, available here (pdf), the US Army toyed with a “Telepathic Gun” that could cause artificial fevers or beam voices into people’s heads.  Impossible?  Not at all.  The ability to force sounds into someone’s head has been possible since 1974.

Here is another surprising weapon that I am pretty sure you’ve never heard of, the CIA’s Secret Heart Attack Gun, which fires a dart fully made of a poison that causes an heart attack, is undetectable during a autopsy, can penetrate clothing, and only leaves a tiny red dot on the skin [Sources: Military.com, CIA].

What about sonic weapons – weapons that induce illness, make it difficult to concentrate, cause a loss of hearing, difficulty to speak, and eventually mild brain damage?  These effects have been linked to some sonic attacks that are starting to become public knowledge, such as those performed on diplomats in Cuba and China [Source: Independant, CNN, Newscientist, The Times, Popular Mechanics].  Here are a few published articles covering recent news of least 21 American Diplomats stationed in Cuba that were diagnosed with these actual symptoms [Sources: DR DK News, {translated}, Business Insider, South China Morning Post, The Guardian, NewsWeek, CNN, Associated Press, Daily Caller, Fox 13, Foreign Policy].  But this is not the first time Diplomats have been attacked abroad, with the last publically identified incident being on Russian soil, back in the 1970’s [Sources: Boston College International and Comparative Law Review, CIA Archives, US National Library of Medicine, LA Times, Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training, Foreign Policy].

Most people do not realize just what can be done – and who has access to these weapons!
