It is all part of a plan.
For a month now we've been looking at electromagnetic weapons. We've barely scratched the surface. I hope you're interested enough now to pursue further research into the field. I'd be remiss if, before moving on, I didn't expose you to some relevant history. Without some idea of how long these kinds of devices have been around, you'll have a much harder time trying to conceptualize just how far they may have developed. It is important to consider the extent of progress of EM weapon development because there are a great many unanswered questions which we could answer conclusively if we knew for sure how far along development has progressed.
It will be a very long time before we know for sure, because this is exactly the kind of information that the powers that be most actively suppress. We'll be lucky to see current developments in EM weapons declassified in our lifetimes. When I say "our lifetimes," I'm speaking to even the youngest of my readers. If there is a single lesson to be learned from the experience of my generation it is that some truths can take a lifetime to learn. All too often, the truth about the most important, most influential events, is revealed to us only after 30, 40, 50 years, or more. The standard excuse is "national security."
Usually, it has more to do with certain persons wishing to avoid prosecution than it does with national security. Documents concerning events that took place on November 22, 1963 (the day JFK was shot), when I was only 15, are officially sealed until 2039. I'll be senile before I get to see what they say. Revelations about some of the radiation experiments that have been done on unwitting human guinea pigs took nearly five decades to surface. And that's just the ones they admit to. The recruiting of Japanese war criminal Shiro Ishii by America's bio-war research community took 30 years to surface. Every time one of these revelations finally surfaces, one question inevitably leaps to mind. If that is what they were doing to us then, and we're only just hearing about now, what are they doing to us today that we aren't going to hear about for another 30, 50, or 75 years?
It behooves us to think of electromagnetic weapons research in the same terms. What little we do know bears a disturbing resemblance to chemical and biological weapons research. The persistent use of unwitting human guinea pigs isn't the half of it. Like so much of our history, the most crucial elements are hidden from public view. Certain people see to it that the true state of current affairs remains so occluded because knowledge is power. Besides, nobody wants to be lynched by an angry mob, just because someone spilled the beans. The most secret history is the history of heinous crimes. George Orwell put it best, "He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past controls the future." The past was erased. The erasure was forgotten. The lie became truth. And so, the powers that be remain in power and we the people remain livestock and guinea pigs. That's how life is in a national security state.
Alas, we can only speculate as to how far and in what directions secret research into electromagnetic weapons research has progressed. Grasping the enormous amount of time that has elapsed since such research began will help us to speculate rationally. It has been going on for a very, very long time. Which brings us to Tesla's "death ray." Even a cursory perusal of suppressed history sooner or later brings one to the story of Nikola Tesla. By all means, do study up on this guy. You'll have to wade through some fiction on the way, but don't let that stop you. Even the fiction is fun. You will enjoy. I promise. In the meantime, I'll give you the short version.
Tesla was the greatest inventor since da Vinci. Some of his inventions (PDF file) look a lot like something da Vinci himself could have come up with. Yet, apart from the small but enthusiastic near-cult that has grown up around him, most people have never heard of the guy. Do you think Marconi invented the radio, Roentgen discovered the X ray or de Forest invented the vacuum-tube amplifier? Think again.
Tesla came up with the fluorescent bulb and neon lights. He came up with the speedometer and the automobile ignition system. He discovered the basics behind radar, electron microscope, and the microwave oven. Without Tesla's inventions, modern life would be unrecognizable. Consider your computer. His Tesla Coil supplies the high voltage for the picture tube you use. The electricity for your computer comes from a Tesla designed A.C. generator. It is sent through a Tesla transformer. It gets to your house through three-phase Tesla power.
Money, politics, and professional rivals nearly robbed history of this man's remarkable story. And a truly remarkable story it is, even more remarkable than some of the fantastic tales about him that have been fabricated by certain people.
(Some PBS stations are showing Telsa: Master of Lightning which has an extensive website, starting December 12th. Check here to see if your staton is airing it San Mateo's KCSM Channel 60 will be showing it December 31st at 8 p.m.)
During his lifetime, Tesla was extremely popular with reporters. He was quite a colorful eccentric. He made seemingly fantastic claims, many of which later turned out to have been true. This sort of thing makes good press. Then he died. Then he was erased. Then the erasure was forgotten by most, except for a tiny coterie of fierce devotees. They're an amusing lot. Some border on the fanatical. Not all of them can be trusted to even understand, let alone tell, the truth of the matter. Some are quite clearly disbursing disinformation. Read up anyway. It's well worth the wade. And not to worry, some Tesla buffs really do know what they are talking about. Read them first. Bill Beaty's home page is an excellent place to start. Then check out KeelyNet. Do it today. You'll be glad you did. For one thing, all this talk of beam weapons won't sound so much like science fiction any more. It's not science fiction. It's important. Like some important history, it was once news.
On Sept. 22, 1940, as the world stared down fascist gun barrels, the New York Times reported:
Nikola Tesla, one of the truly great inventors who celebrated his 84th birthday on July 10, tells the writer that he stands ready to divulge to the United States Government the secret of his "teleforce," with which, he said, airplane motors would be melted at a distance of 250 miles, so that an invisible Chinese Wall of Defense would be built around the country.
This teleforce, he said, is based on an entirely new principle of physics that "no one has ever dreamed about," different from the principle embodied in his inventions relating to the transmission of electrical power from a distance, for which he has received a number of basic patents. This new type of force, Mr. Tesla said, would operate through a beam one hundred-millionth of a square centimeter in diameter, and could be generated from s special plant that would cost no more than $2,000,000 and would take only about three months to construct.
Apparently Tesla had indeed been working on such ideas for years. On Dec. 8, 1915, the New York Times noted that:
Nikola Tesla, the inventor, has filed patent applications on the essential parts of a machine the possibilities of which test a layman's imagination and promise a parallel of Thor's shooting thunderbolts from the sky to punish those who had angered the gods.
(snip)
"It is perfectly practicable to transmit electrical energy without wires and produce destructive effects at a distance. I have already constructed a wireless transmitter which makes this possible, and have described it in my technical publications, among which I refer to my patent number 1,119,732 recently granted.
"With a transmitter of this kind we are enabled to project electrical energy in any amount to any distance and apply it for innumerable purposes, both in war and peace.
"Through the universal adoption of this system, ideal conditions for the maintenance of law and order will be realized, for then the energy necessary to the enforcement of right and justice will be normally productive, yet potential, and in any moment available, for attack and defense. The power transmitted need not be necessarily destructive, for, if distance is made to depend upon it, its withdrawal or supply will bring about the same results as those now accomplished by force of arms."
If this reminds you of some of the projects proposed as part of the Reagan-era Strategic Defense Initiative, join the club. This is indeed Star Wars technology. Tesla was seriously proposing a means of fighting World War III before World War I was even half over.
Tesla wasn't the only one pursuing this avenue of research. The New York Times of May 21, 1924 had this report:
Paris, May 20 – If confidence of Grindell Mathew (sic), inventor of the so-called "diabolical ray," in his discovery is justified it may become possible to put the whole of an enemy army out of action, destroy any force of airplanes attacking a city or paralyze any fleet venturing within a certain distance of the coast by invisible rays.
Grindell-Matthews stated that his destructive rays would operate over a distance of four miles and that the maximum distance for this type of weapon would be seven or eight miles. "Tests have been reported where the ray has been used to stop the operation of automobiles by arresting the action of the magnetos, and a quantity of gunpowder is said to have been exploded by playing the beams on it from a distance of thirty-six feet. "
Grindell-Matthews was able, also, to electrocute mice, shrivel plants, and light the wick of an oil lamp from some distance away.
Of course, just because something is in the newspaper, even the New York Times, in no way means it is true. It would be nice if it were, but oh well. The essence of secret history is that before it can be uncovered, its existence must first be deduced from clues. So we must pay attention to clues like this even when they are related by a sometimes overly credulous source like David Hatcher Childress. According to Childress, Guglielmo Marconi also came up with a device that could stop vehicles cold from a distance:
In June of 1936 Marconi demonstrated to Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini a wave gun device that could be used as a defensive weapon. In the 1930s such devices were popularized as death rays as in a Boris Karloff film of the same name. Marconi demonstrated the ray on a busy highway north of Milan one afternoon. Mussolini had asked his wife Rachele to also be on the highway at precisely 3:30 in the afternoon. Marconi's device caused the electrical systems in all the cars, including Rachele's, to malfunction for half an hour, while her chauffeur and other motorists checked their fuel pumps and spark plugs. At 3:35 all the cars were able to start again. Rachele Mussolini later published this account in her autobiography.
The tremendous advantages of possessing a device that could disable moving vehicles, even cars, is obvious. All that it would take to generate funding for research in to how to build such a device is the merest hint that some of the greatest minds in the field thought it was possible. Billions have been spent in pursuit of even more dubious goals.
Flash forward to 1998, when the U.S. Department of Justice issued a solicitation:
The purpose of this solicitation is to request interested applicants offer their prototype electromagnetic (EM) devices for submission to NIJ's vehicle stopping Phase III testing (i.e., engineering field testing). Three types of EM devices will be considered for testing: electrostatic discharge, non- nuclear electromagnetic pulse, and high-power microwave or radio frequency energy. Upon the receipt of the applications submitted in response to this request, NIJ will determine those applicants who will be invited to participate in the NIJ vehicle stopping Phase III testing.
Why, one must wonder, was the U.S. Department of Justice advertising for the development of something which appears to have already been developed a half a century or more ago. One possibility is that Tesla, Marconi, et al. were lying, and/or their accomplishments were lied about. Stranger things have happened. Lies and lying are among the most vital of history's driving forces. Over the years, many lies have appeared in the New York Times. Another possibility is that the U.S. Department of Justice is lying and the sole purpose of the solicitation is to convince the curious that the DOJ, and the hands that pull its strings, do not already possess such technology. This is not improbable. Such technology could, in cunning enough hands, easily be worth more if kept secret. It could then be used for specialized black-ops rather being squandered on common criminals and ordinary soldiers. Such technology, in cunning enough hands, could easily be far more valuable when used as a psychological weapon than it ever could be as an antivehicle weapon. It always gives one side an advantage when the other side underestimates the power of its weapons. Surprise is a tremendous force multiplier. Deception, Sun Tzu taught, is the essence of war.
One basic principal behind a possible car stopping ray is simple. A beam of ultraviolet light ionizes the column of air through which it passes. Ionized air conducts electrical energy. Tesla had originally envisioned using ultraviolet filters on klieg powered search lights. Modern lasers work even better. The key is not so much the amount of electrical energy transmitted as it is the frequency at which it is modulated.
On Oct. 7, 1997, eight months before the DOJ Solicitation, U.S. Patent 5,675,103 was issued to one Jan Eric Herr for a nonlethal antipersonnel weapon based on this principle. It's not a Star Trek phaser "on stun," but it comes as close as any technology that has been made public so far. The question remains, of course, what technologies of this type have been developed but have not been made public.
Two years later, on Sept. 14, 1999, Mr. Herr was issued U.S. Patent 5,952,600 for an "engine disabling weapon," also based on this principle. Could it be that it took the invention of the laser to make the realization of Tesla's idea practical from an engineering point of view? Even so, that would only bring forward the earliest possible date for this technology to a point four decades ago. Another possibility is that at least some of these early antivehicle beam weapons used radio waves. Either way, it appears that some things like this have been around for a very long time.
Let us digress briefly to look at another bit of radio frequency-based technology about which we have also been kept in the dark. Then we'll see one way it could be used in conjunction with the vehicle stopping capability of the above devices to enable an ingenious prank. Regular readers will remember the so-called "Frey effect". In 1962, in the Journal of Applied Physiology, Allan H. Frey of the General Electric Advanced Electronics Center at Cornell University, reported that under certain circumstances the perception of sounds was induced in normal and deaf humans using extremely low average-power densities of electromagnetic energy. The effect was induced several hundred feet from the antenna the instant the transmitter was turned on. It is a function of carrier frequency and modulation.
Frey managed to transmit buzzes and clicks directly to the human brain with microwaves, bypassing the ears entirely. Some people believe only buzzes and clicks can be transmitted directly by this method. This is not true. In March 1975, American Psychologist, Journal of the American Psychological Association, Volume 30, March 1975, Number 3, reported in precise terms how Dr. Joseph C. Sharp and his staff transmitted the words for the digits one to 10 using a modulated version of an Allan Frey-type pulsed microwave transmitter. After that, a virtual media blackout of Voice to Skull (V2S) technology set in. It is not unreasonable to assume that research has continued covertly, in the tradition of MKULTRA. The use of unwitting human guinea pigs has a long, rich history. Many people regularly report experiences consistent with covert V2S. In come cases ongoing experiments seem to be the cause. In other cases it seems more like harassment. These people are generally dismissed as being mentally ill. Usually they are diagnosed as being schizophrenic, often as paranoid schizophrenic. But in a world where for decades it has been technologically possible to make people hear voices, and where the covert use of unwitting human guinea pigs is standard operating procedure for certain elements of the intelligence community, certain diagnosis of schizophrenia is impossible. It is too easy to induce artificially.
There is a prank that could make use of these technologies. I'm speaking hypothetically here, of course. I'm not advocating that anyone actually break any laws. Better leave that sort of stuff to the experts. But hypothetically, here's the prank anyway. First, recruit an accomplice of short stature, the shorter the better. Next acquire a quiet helicopter. A Vietnam War-era Bell 500D would do the trick, but if you can afford something newer, go for it. If you want to really go all out, build one of those Biefeld-Brown effect craft, or a de Seversky ionocraft, that I told you about last April.
Mount a bunch of flashing colored lights all over it and a big klieg light on the front. Dress your accomplice up in a gray rubber suit with long fingers and really big eyes. If you want to get fancy, make the suit glow a little in the dark. Go fly around in the country until you find some poor schmo out for a drive all alone on some isolated two-lane blacktop. Use a one of these beam weapons to stop his motor. Turn on the klieg light and shine it in his eyes. Turn on the colored strobe lights and slowly land on the road in front of him. Have your rubber-suited accomplice get out and start walking toward him slowly, glowing all the way. Aim a Frey-Sharp V2S transmitter at the schmo's head and broadcast the following:
"People of Earth, hear us. We mean you no harm. Your weapons are useless against us. Take us to your leader."
For added effect, add a little reverb to the voice and play a theremin in the background. Then knock the poor guy out with a Herr "nonlethal weapon for temporarily immobilizing a target subject by means of muscular tetanization." While he's unconscious, pull up his shirt. Place a stencil on the skin of his abdomen. Use a high frequency UV lamp (the kind chemists use to identify certain substances) to burn a weird pattern onto his skin. Rub a little uranium dust on him so he'll tick if somebody thinks to check him with a Geiger counter. Get back in the chopper (or whatever) and leave. You can imagine what kind of story the guy will tell about his missing time when he wakes up and goes home.
I'm speaking hypothetically here, of course. Don't try this at home, kids. I certainly haven't, nor would I. But I'd bet dollars to donuts that somebody else has, and more than once, too. As to why, we can only speculate. Certainly it was part of a plan.
