Hz  in  1-nanosecond  pulses,  the  liquid  mixture  at  the  wellhead  jumps  twenty  pounds  up  and
               twenty pounds down 3X per second like a hammer. This is called “thumping.” The discharge of
               the wind farms occurs in an arc at a certain length and a certain pulse that resonates with wells
               tuned to 2.95 Hz. Put your hand on the casing and feel it twitch, like it’s alive.
                   Both  wind  farms  and  fracking  well  stems  have  a  part  to  play  in  the  Space  Fence

                                                  FIBER-OPTIC CABLES


               Today, there are 550,000 fiber-optic data channels cross the oceans. Fortune magazine graphics
               director Nicolas Rapp has a spectacular world map of the major seamless fiber-optic trunks:

                     If the internet is a global phenomenon, it’s because there are fiber-optic cables underneath the ocean. Light goes in on
                     one shore and comes out the other, making these tubes the fundamental conduit of information throughout the global
                     village. To make the light travel enormous distances, thousands of volts of electricity are sent through the cable’s
                     copper sleeve to power repeaters, each the size and roughly the shape of a six-hundred-pound bluefin tuna.
                        Once a cable reaches a coast, it enters a building known as a “landing station” that receives and transmits the
                     flashes of light sent across the water. The fiber-optic lines then connect to key hubs, known as “Internet exchange
                     points,” which, for the most part, follow geography and population. The majority of transatlantic undersea cables land
                     in downtown Manhattan where the result has been the creation of a parallel Wall Street geography, based not on the
                     location of bustling trading floors but on proximity to the darkened buildings that house today’s automated trading
                     platforms. The surrounding space is at a premium, as companies strive to literally shorten the wire that connects them
                     to the hubs. 70
                        Fiber-optic signals are light passing in the form of a laser beam through thin strands of optical fiber or glass at
                     very high speeds. The trunk line (“six-hundred-pound bluefin tuna”) is made up of fiber optic cables bundled together
                     to increase bandwidth and carry multiple “channels” for multiple networks (and agendas). Telecom contractors like
                     AT&T Inc., MCI, Sprint, and CenturyLink own vast Internet backbone networks and sell their services to (and exert
                     power over) Internet service providers (ISPs). On land, these same providers link hundreds of cell towers together
                     with fiber-optic cable, thus pressuring local zoning boards to approve hundreds of cell towers in one fell swoop.
                        Fiber-optic cables, like wireless towers, spell power. (Whereas fiber-optic technology unlocks ultra-high speeds
                                                                                 71
                     for wired connections, terahertz transmitters unlock fiber-optic speeds for wireless. ) First of all, whether on land or
                                                                                  72
                     coming up out of the oceans, they are easy to tap with “intercept probes” and prisms:
                        The tapping process apparently involves using so-called “intercept probes”. . .[T]he intelligence agencies likely
                     gain access to the landing stations. . .and use these small devices to capture the light being sent across the cable. The
                                                                                       73
                     probe bounces the light through a prism, makes a copy of it, and turns it into binary data . . .

                   Between 2003 and 2006, Room 641A at 611 Folsom Street in San Francisco was fed Internet
               backbone traffic (foreign and domestic) passing through the building along fiber-optic lines from
               beam splitters installed in fiber optic trunks. Room 641A was known as AT&T’s SG3 [Study
               Group 3] Secure Room. J. Scott Marcus, a former chief technology officer for GTE (General
               Telephone  &  Electronics  Corporation)  and  former  adviser  to  the  Federal  Communications
               Commission (FCC), had access to all of it. Whistleblower William Binney, once director of the
               NSA’s World Geopolitical and Military Analysis Reporting Group, estimates that ten to twenty
               such facilities have been installed throughout the United States. 74
                   Because fiber-optic lines are strands of optically pure glass as thin as a human hair that can
               carry  digital  information,  fiber  optics  are  used  in  neuroengineering,  along  with  molecular
               biology, optogenetic engineering, surgery, and lasers. 75
                   Not  entirely  dissimilar  to  the  “new  science”  of  neuroengineering  is  the  covert  practice  of
