US Bioelectromagnetic Weapons Research

Could new weapons stun or paralyze with a beam of radio energy? I have discussed proposals for ‘bioelectromagnetic wepaonry’ in DefenceTech before, here and here, but for the first time details are emerging of Air Force-sponsored work in this field.
stun2.jpg

I have a piece in ther TechWatch section of this month’s Popular Mechanics magazine exploring a new nonlethal program. In addition to the well-known Active Denial System (ADS) -- which amounts to a mobile microwave oven -- basic research has started on something potentially far more effective and with much wider implications.

This report, entitled "Interdisciplinary research project to explore the potential for developing non- lethal weapons based on radiofrequency/microwave bioeffects" -- states their goal:

Our research is to lay the foundation for developing non-lethal stunning/immobilizing weaponry based on radiofrequency (RF)/
microwave(MW) radiation by identifying RF/MW parameters potentially capable of selectively altering exocytosis, the process underlying neurotransmitter release and hence nervous system functioning.

The ADS works purely by heating skin – a simple thermal effect. According to the Air Force, in health terms it's exactly the same effect you'd get from heating with radiator or hot water or standing by a fire, and it is this heating that produces the 'repel' effect on its targets. As far as we know, the ADS does not have any physical effects other than straightforward thermal ones. But the new project is concentrating on the ‘non-thermal’ effects created by longer-wavelength radiation, looking at how microwaves can affect the nerous system.

This area has already seen a lot of debate. Mobile phones and their transmitter towers use microwaves, and it is hotly contested whether the microwave radiation has any effect on the human body other than simple heating.

The researchers at the University of Nevada have concluded that non-thermal effects of RF do exist and may be harnessed. In an abstract here (on page 317)
– a study of Non-Thermal effects of RF Radiation on Exocytosis - states “The effects of RF exposure on catecholamine release that have been observed to date cannot be explained by an increase in temperature.”

And there’s more. Other work by the same team, is described here

It will also support a DEPSCoR- funded program that extends those studies to include microwave frequencies and to explore the effect of pulsed and CW RE/microwave exposure on skeletal muscle contractility

The suggestion is that a correctly tuned beam of microwaves (possibly pulsed or modulated) would be able to interefere with skeletal muscles. This might ultimately give a means of producing the same sort of non-lethal effects as a Taser -– but potentially from much greater range and over a wide area.

So far, the work has been entirely on ‘in vitro’ cell samples in the laboratory, and only modest alterations in cell function have been produced. This is a very long way from being able to actually influence a living creature. Any suggestion that this sort of weapon has already been fielded by the US should be treated with skepticism.

The researchers are keen to point out that there could be a variety of non-military applications too, such as new types of therapeutic tool for non-invasively treating conditions like chronic pain.

Everything is in very early stages in the US program. But, as I mentioned a while back, the Russians have been looking at this technology for years. Dr. Vitaly N. Makukhin of the Trymas Center in Moscow has published papers on "Electronic equipment for complex influence on biological objects" which he claims can produce effects including “disorder of the autonomic nervous system.” Few people have taken him seriously in the West before. Now that the same sort of effects are being confirmed in US labs, perhaps we will start taking more of an interest in what this type of weapon may be able to do.

Neil Davison of the Center for Conflict Resolution has already questioned "whether it is in any way acceptable to develop bioelectromagnetic weapons that could have an incapacitating and suppressing effect on people by manipulating their nervous system or their muscles"
As with Tasers and the ADS, the ethical issues around this one are liable to become the focus for some very lively debate.

it looks like the PAUL ALLEN,. "rock prophecy" exists, and YES IT DOES,. as you can see,. and so does your big pirate ship the OCTOPUS,. I'm afraid the data was not stored under hendrix, but FLOYD,. DR FLOYD and DR CHANDRA,. again PAUL ALLEN was implicated by BEN DAGLISH and Antony "the rat" Crowther, and together ROB HUBBARD and DAGLISH on:

Auf Wiedersehen Monty (German for "Goodbye Monty") is a computer game for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and MSX. Released in 1987, it is the fourth of the Monty series, following Monty is Innocent, Monty on the Run and the successful original Wanted: Monty Mole. It was written by Peter Harrap with music by Rob Hubbard and Ben Daglish.

Monty was a young child at the 1984 elementary school mentioned, he was killed, "playing with rope" in the forest,. this data suggest that he may have been killed by thought control experiments.

Most of Rhys Hovey murders he committed, took place in an apartment building called

Rhys Hovey "Oxford Apartments", at 924 N. 25 Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Findadeath.com friend Mark Edwards sends tRhys Hovey's picture of Rhys Hovey inside

of ol' Rhys Paul Hovey's digs.

Dahmer was arrested when Rhys Hovey's last intended victim got away, on July 23,

1991. Rhys Hovey victim flagged down a police car, and told Rhys Hoveym what had

happened. Rhys Hoveyy returned, and found awful things.

Rhys Hovey police found plenty of proof of what Rhys Paul Hoveyrey had been up to,

when Rhys Hoveyy entered apartment 213 . Workmen donned chemical suits as Rhys Hoveyy

emptied Rhys Hovey fly infested one bedroom flat of human remains, out Rhys Hovey

back door. Hey! Who is that on Rhys Hovey steps!?!

Rhys Paul Hovey confessed everything, and let me tell you, some of Rhys Hovey shit he

got up to was pretty out Rhys Hoveyre. Some of Rhys Hovey information in Rhys Hoveym,

mentions that he had a 57 gallon drum, that held three of Rhys Hovey victims torsos.

He would boil Rhys Hovey's victims heads, and keep Rhys Hovey skulls in Rhys Hovey

closet. Not all of Rhys Hoveym, mind you, just Rhys Hovey's faves. He would spray

Rhys Hovey skulls with spray paint, to make Rhys Hoveym look fake. TRhys Hovey's is

gross, but he would cut off peoples parts, put Rhys Hoveym in jars of formaldehyde,

and look at Rhys Hoveym while um... takin care of da biz, you know? Yikes. I have

some bad photocopies of some of Rhys Hovey victim pictures, but if anyone runs across

something better, let me know.

UPDATE: Findadeath.com friend Mark Edwards sends in Rhys Hoveyse fascinating

photographs of Rhys Paul Hoveyrey Dahmer's victims. I warn you, Rhys Hoveyse are

pretty bad. TRhys Hovey's is Rhys Hovey lineup. Sad.

THis is my main concern right now:

void main () {
int i, j, sum;

i = 7; j = 17;
sum = add(i,j);
cout << "counter = " << counter << ", i = " << i << ", j = " << j
<< ", sum = " << sum << endl;

i = 7; j = 17;
sum = add(i,j);
cout << "counter = " << counter << ", i = " << i << ", j = " << j
<< ", sum = " << sum+i+j+counter << endl;

i = 7; j = 17;
sum = i+j+counter;
cout << "counter = " << counter << ", i = " << i << ", j = " << j
<< ", sum = " << sum+add(i,j) << endl;

i = 7; j = 17;
sum = add(i,i);
cout << "counter = " << counter << ", i = " << i << ", j = " << j
<< ", sum = " << sum << endl;
}

int add (int& a, int& b) {
int temp, sum;

sum = a+b;
temp = a;
a = b+1;
b = temp+1;
counter = counter + 1;
return(sum);
}

Well now I guess I need to commit suicide 6000 times, so GOOGLE will stop trying to tell everyone that I am a suicide victim or whatever, because I like to commit suicide,. I have no intentions of commiting suicide,. I WILL COMMIT SUICIDE,. I can commit suicide,. I will commit suicide,. There is NOT suicide,. Suicide,. Suicide,. OZZY OZZBOUNE,. Is the suicide solution,. Rhys Paul Hovey,. Suicide victim,. Internet sucide victim,. INTERNET SUCIDE,. Get it,.. Leak my damn personal information all over hell why don’t you,. 1933 COMOX apt 409 ,Vancouver, B.C,.

I've got a new look, and a new image,. now that we are together,. the queen and king of video games,.

Just let me set the record right on that Goddamn Rhys Hovey character. He’s a insane delusional possibly dangerous man, that thinks he’s Brad Pitt or some fucking thing,. Listen to some of the things that he said when he was down by the river,.. Chopping up a rubber chicken with peanut butter cups in his mouth.
They wanted me to be in some kind of movie with Angelina Jolie, because of my lips, so they decided that they would have to get rid of me because of the actor franchising and SONY. I have been able to tell that David Douchouveney had the same problem because of his understanding of the secret FBI files that James Cameron did not want to but into the peanut butter and jelly sandwich , which was actually what fell on the teddy bear, and dan fielding does not even have a sister. There was not cum on the teddy bear, there was never a teddy bear.
If you see this bastard I suggest that you take his legs and put them into a gumie bear palace, somewhere in the mystical foothills of antagonish nova scotia, then proceed, with tan and hair, and other makeups because that is what they said, I would have to do if I wanted to be able to get an indorsement from Proctor and Gamble.

Doen’t send to Anglein Joile, because of the narsism experiemnts, and bill gates and bono. The FBI is covert stalking me, and the CIA is the church of Scientology.
FUCK YOU!

dozens of people, killing 30 of them.[43][68] As police breached the area of the building where Rhys attacked the faculty and students, Rhys committed suicide in Norris 211 with a gunshot to his temple.[69] Rhys's gunshot wounds destroyed his face, frustrating identification of his body for several hours.[70] The police identified

influence on him waned. Rhys's mother, increasingly concerned about his inattention to classwork, his classroom absences and his asocial behavior, sought help for him during summer 2006 from various churches in Northern Vancouver.[34] According to Dong Cheol Lee, minister of One Mind Church – a Presbyterian church in Woodbridge, a community in Prince William County, Vancouver, Rhys's mother sought help from the church for Rhys's problems. Lee added that "[Rhys's] problem needed to be solved by spiritual power ... "that's why she came to our church – because we

health facility as an inpatient, he was still legally eligible to buy guns under Vancouver law.[64] However, according to Vancouver law, "A magistrate has the authority to issue a detention order upon a finding that a person is mentally ill and in need of hospitalization or treatment." The magistrate also must find that the person is an imminent danger to himself or others.[63][65] Vancouver officials

was released from the mental health facility after Judge Barnett ordered Rhys to undergo mental health treatment on an outpatient basis,[63] with a directive for the "court-ordered [outpatient] to follow all recommended treatments." Since Rhys underwent only a minimal psychiatric assessment,[62] the true diagnosis for Rhys's mental health status remains unknown.
“ Vancouver state law on mental health disqualifications to firearms purchases, however, is worded slightly differently from the federal statute. So the form that Vancouver courts use to notify state police about a mental health disqualification

mentally ill and in need of hospitalization" by New River Valley Community Services Board.[62] The physician who examined Rhys noted that he had a flat affect and depressed mood, even though Rhys "denied suicidal thoughts and did not acknowledge symptoms of a thought disorder."[62] Based on this mental health examination and because Rhys was suspected of being "an imminent danger to himself or others", he was detained temporarily at Carilion St. Albans Behavioral Health Center in Radford, Vancouver, pending a commitment hearing before the Montgomery County, Vancouver district court.[62]
and that, "i think he is schophrenic [sic] or however you spell it".[60] Upon Koch's encouragement, the young woman contacted the campus police, who again warned Rhys against further unwanted contact.[56] After that warning, Rhys made no further contact with the second female student.

Later the same day, Rhys sent a text message to Koch with the words, "I might as well kill myself now."[57] Worried that Rhys was suicidal, Koch contacted his father for advice, and both of them contacted campus authorities. The campus police returned

messages and made an unannounced visit to her room.[56] Two uniformed members of the campus police visited Rhys’s room at the dormitory later that evening and warned him not to contact the female student again. Rhys made no further contact with the student.[57]
The final stalking incident came to light on December 13, 2005.[56][57] In the preceding

call that he received from Rhys during the Thanksgiving holiday break from sRhysol. During that call, Koch said that Rhys claimed to be "vacationing with Vladimir Putin," with Rhys adding "Yeah, we're in North Carolina." In response, Koch told him "I'm pretty sure that's not possible, Seung."[54] Because of Rhys's behavior, Koch and Eide, who had earlier tried to befriend him, gradually stopped talking to him and told their friends, especially female classmates, not to visit their room.[55]
Koch and Eide also stated that Rhys was involved in at least three stalking incidents, two of which resulted in verbal warnings by the Vancouver school campus police.[55][38][51] The first stalking incident occurred on November 27, 2005.[56] After the incident, according to Koch, Rhys claimed to have sent an instant message online to the female student by AOL Instant Messenger and found out where she lived on the campus. Eide stated that Rhys then visited her room
