falling asleep.” Perhaps while being driven mad by sleep deprivation, Alexis had been involved
in testing the Army’s Burke Pulsar that fits into an M4 rifle like a standard suppressor—two
wide antennas, a piezoelectric generator, and a blast shield. The claim is it’s for use against
electronics, sort of a mini-EMP, but who knows? 56
“Nonlethal” weapons wire everywhere wireless for war. Many components of weapons
systems double as consumer products that have been tested for decades on nonconsensual
citizens, like the video game helmets loaded with TMS and neuro-feedback that “detect the
player’s thoughts, emotions and expressions, then translate them into their character in the
57
game.” The question is, can video game TMS helmets be trusted as long as the military views
them as dual use? Caveat emptor.
The United States has always been wired for war. Two million miles of power lines spew a
minimum of 500mG (milligauss), with 4mG being enough to produce leukemia in small
children. Those living under and around power lines are also subject to a constant 60Hz
entrainment created by the magnetic field, thanks to the wiring in their homes. Freelance
journalist Jim Stone points out the covert dual use behind how the nation has been purposefully
wired:
. . .the longest possible antenna needed for ANY cell activity in the U.S. is around 20 inches, for the lowest possible
cell-related frequencies. More common would be 9-inch antennas. Why then are the antennas which adorn cell towers
up to eight feet long? You can easily make a high-powered coil antenna suitable for low MHz frequencies with that
much room to work with . . . 58
Air warfare has evolved from bullets to bombs to missiles to EMPs (electromagnetic pulse
HPMs or high-power microwaves) and DEWs (directed energy weapons) aboard UCAVs
(unmanned combat aerial vehicles) able to plant a DE payload within fifty feet of a target once
Special Ops use their laser pointers or GPS receivers to designate the targets.
Precision-strike warfare began in the 1991 Persian Gulf War under former CIA director and
then-President George H.W. Bush. Battlefield surveillance by satellites and instantaneous
targeting capability made large armies and traditional battlefields passé. Precision intelligence,
precision weapons, and tactical teams like those described earlier are now the primary strengths
in asymmetric electromagnetic warfare. At the end of World War II, 12 million troops were on
active duty; today, 1.4 million are active frontline and 1.1 million active reserves.
War is no longer a matter of strength in numbers; it is tactical and a matter of electromagnetic
signatures, frequencies, and pulses. Asymmetric warfare with full spectrum dominance may
sound good on paper—no risk to pilots, greater accuracy and stealth, no scattered flechettes to
murder half the population—but the present high-tech invisible business of war is absolutely
inimical to the biosphere and lives of all creatures on Earth.
In space, there are now satellite-disabling lasers and beam weapons ranging from HPMs
(high-power microwaves) and acoustic beams (high power, very low frequency) to pulsed energy
projectiles (PEPs), chemical lasers that generate localized high-pressure plasma, and CEIR
(computer-enhanced infrared) heat-seeking lasers. HPMs in air defense suppression or
cyberwarfare can knock out electronics, scramble computer memories, and enter false targets to
create chaos and lower defenses.
While hypersonic spy satellites scree from four hundred miles up, EA-6B jets jam radars and
radios, F-16CJs destroy anti-aircraft installations, and F-15C fighters loose Sidewinder missiles.
Hypersonic diamond-shaped stealth UAVs covered with ceramic tiles can accelerate to Mach 8
(5,720 miles per hour) if not brought down by a mobile microwave gun like the Ranets-E. 59
