translated to fried electronics after a silent (“acoustic retardation”) initiating explosion.
                   The term “nonlethal” is truly Orwellian.
                   Still,  interfering  beams  from  two  vehicle-mounted  transmitters  of  EMP  weapons  like
               CHAMP can also be made to create a plasma arc as protection from EMPs:


                     [Patent No. 8,981,261, March 17, 2015, “Method and system for shockwave attenuation via electromagnetic arc”] is
                     for  a  shockwave  attenuation  system,  which  consists  of  a  sensor  capable  of  detecting  a  shockwave-generating
                     explosion and an arc generator that receives the signal from the sensor to ionize a small region, producing a plasma
                     field between the target and the explosion using lasers, electricity and microwaves. 145


                   Block EMPs, create EMPs. . .Scalar tech means generating energy “out of thin air” (æther),
               lightning (sprites), and heat (plasma). 146



                                                         SENSORS


               Laser,  radar,  and  now  sensors.  Take,  for  example,  the  infrared  laser  radar  or  LiDAR  (light
               detection and ranging), a remote sensing instrument that meets a variety of military detection and
               targeting needs. LiDAR is such a versatile weapon that its use is directly overseen by the spooky
               NGA discussed in Chapter 5.
                   By bouncing light off of targets, LiDAR is far more accurate than radar when it comes to
               ranges and distances, plus LiDAR can carry digital information rather like fiber optics without
               the  need  for  glass  fibers.  Stealth  aircraft  covered  with  radar-absorbent  materials  (RAM)  that
               don’t absorb laser signals use LiDAR, as do bomb damage assessment (BDA), reconnaissance,
               and  chemical  warfare  agent  detection.  Unlike  emission  spectography,  LiDAR  can  read  target
               signature wavelengths without a high-temperature medium:

                     Atmospheric pollutants [like chemical trails] are monitored by bouncing a laser beam off clouds which are overhead
                     the measurement apparatus, or terrain behind the area of interest, or simply by analyzing the backscatter from the
                     atmosphere. The backscattered light from the laser detected by the apparatus has traveled twice through the volume of
                     atmosphere,  once  outbound  and  once  inbound  to  the  detection  apparatus.  The  laser  wavelengths  absorbed  by  the
                     passage through the air give an accurate indication of the presence of particular chemical species, as well as their
                               147
                     concentration.

                   Once again, we encounter the necessity for two interfering beams—the LiDAR beam and the
               designator laser beam—for “reading” the target.
                   Hyperspectral  LiDAR  imaging  is  the  remote  use  of  sensors  to  measure  reflected  light
               signatures  that  identify  the  composition  of  materials  like  minerals,  snow,  and  vegetation—a
               lucrative tool for finding rich deposits of minerals in rugged topography like Afghanistan. Not
               only  can  it  map  decades  in  advance  of  what  conventional  ground  mapping  can  do,  but  it
               multiplies the booty of war. 148  Hyperspectral LiDAR also excels in monitoring and collecting
               signature  data  on  citizens.  Though  the  U.S.  Army  Corps  of  Engineers  claims  that  low-flying
               aircraft shining green lasers into Honolulu neighborhoods in the middle of the night was about
               high-resolution LiDAR mapping, citizens remained unconvinced.  149
                   LiDAR is used in industry, as well—for example, the Irish corporation Treemetrics manages
               its  forests  by  combining  LiDAR  information,  the  European  Space  Agency’s  Sentinel  satellite
               aerial  imagery,  and  drone  photography. 150   The  Global  Ecosystem  Dynamics  Investigation
               (GEDI) managed by University of Maryland also uses it “to study forest canopy structure in a
