There seem to be several ways of murdering Iraqis with beam >>weapons. This is from William Thomas' website: >> >>MICROWAVING IRAQ >>" Pacifying" Rays Pose New Hazards To Iraqis >>By William Thomas 01/24/05 ( World Exclusive ) >>Preface >>Desperate to improve images of civilian carnage, US commanders are using >>portable electromagnetic-frequency weapons in Fallujah and other "hot spots" >>in the Sunni Triangle to pacify restive neighborhoods with invisible EM >>radiation. "Active Denial" antenna arrays mounted on Humvees are also being >>deployed to panic and disperse hostile crowds by flash-burning exposed flesh >>with microwaves. But unintended side effects from the hidden rooftop >>transmitters are reportedly triggering violent attacks by exposed >>insurgents�Xwhile leading to AWOL rates of up to 15% among US forces >>disoriented by these same weapons, as well as the electromagnetic emanations >>from high-power radars, radios and "jammers". >>On the rooftop of a shrapnel-pocked building in the ruins of Fallujah, a team >>of GI's stealthily sets up a gray plastic dome about two-feet in diameter. >>Keeping well back from the sight lines of the street and nearby buildings, >>they plug the cable connectors on the side of the "popper" into a power unit. >>The grunts have no clue what the device does. They are just following orders. >> >>" Most of the worker-bees that are placing these do not even know what is >>inside the 'domes', just that they were told where to place them by Intel >>weenies with usually no nametag," reports my source, a very well informed >>combat veteran I will call "Hank". >> >>" Intel" stands for "intelligence" officers who target the most restive >>neighborhoods in a country gripped by anarchy and chaos. The lack of nametags >>indicates membership in a spooky "alphabet agency", either within or outside >>the military chain of command. Similar "black: teams removed "Made In The >>USA" chemical weapons from Iraqi trenches after Desert Storm. [Bringing The >>War Home by William Thomas] >> >>The grunts call the plastic devices "poppers" or "domes". Once activated, >>each hidden transmitter emits a widening circle of invisible energy capable >>of passing through metal, concrete and human skulls up to half a mile away. >>"They are saturating the area with ULF, VLF and UHF freqs," Hanks says, with >>equipment derived from US Navy undersea sonar and communications. >> >>But it's not being used to locate and talk to submarines under Baghdad. >> >>After powering up the unit, the grunts quickly exit the area. It is their >>commanders' fervent hope that any male survivors enraged by brutal American >>bombardments that damaged virtually every building in this once thriving >>"City of Mosques", displacing a quarter-million residents while murdering >>thousands of children, women and elders in their homes�Xwill lose all >>incentive for further resistance and revenge. >>... . Hank stays in close touch with his unit serving "in theater" in Iraq. >>When I asked how many "poppers" are being used to irradiate Iraqi >>neighborhoods, he checked and got back to me. There are "at least 25 of these >>that have been deployed to theater, and used. Some have conked out and been >>removed, so I do not know how many are currently active and broadcasting." >> >>------------------] >> >>Then there's this report from Aviation Week, four years ago: >> >>USAF Acknowledges Beam Weapon Readiness >>By David A. Fulghum/Aviation Week & Space Technology >>04-Oct-2002 5:20 PM U.S. EDT >> >>... .The range of HPM weapons has always been a concern. Tests have shown >>effects at tens to "more than" hundreds of feet. Walling seemed more >>optimistic. "With current technology, the range for a tactical microwave >>weapon could be in the tens of kilometers, and future advances . . . should >>permit the development of even longer ranges," the report said.Other >>advantages cited for HPM weapons are that they would be immune to the weather >>and could produce multiple shots on a single mission. However, the report >>also alludes to single-shot designs. These latter seem to address concerns >>that side and back lobes from the generation of an HPM pulse could affect the >>carrying aircraft's own electronics.Power levels for HPM weapons are >>increasing. The report said one microwave source weighing less that 45 lb. >>radiated 1 gigawatt of power within a few nanoseconds. A 400-lb. system >>radiated 20 gigawatts. The report noted that Hoover Dam generates 2 gigawatts >>per day. The HPM weapon >> would draw power from the air vehicle's engines, which would let it make a >> number of attacks during a mission. >>-------------- >>[Note that the size of the weapons has decreased to ground-deployable size.] >> >>By Jonathan Skillings >>Staff Writer, CNET News.com >> >>Published: April 11, 2006, 1:16 PM PDT >>Interview with Doug Beason, Los Alamos labs >> >>Beason: Right, the Advanced Tactical Laser is actually a smaller laser than >>the ABL that is being put on a smaller tactical platform. Right now, they're >>looking at a C-130, but it could possibly be put on a helicopter. That's a >>laser that is in a class that is greater than 50 kilowatts, so it's a few >>orders of magnitude less powerful than the Airborne Laser. Its missions are >>designed to supplement what the Airborne Laser is doing, that is, to help >>with special operations and antiterrorism and that, but at very close >>distances, that is, kilometer range versus the many hundreds of kilometers >>range that the Airborne Laser is working on. >>The Zeus is actually a solid-state laser developed by the Army to heat up >>mines, to be able to clear minefields at a distance. In fact, the Zeus was >>deployed to Afghanistan, and several hundred mines were cleared by the use of >>this tactical weapon. There is another one called the THEL, or the Tactical >>High Energy Laser, that was developed for the Army, and this laser had >>actually shot down Katyusha rockets in White Sands Missile Range, and after >>over 30 Katyusha rockets were shot down, they decided to see if they could >>also shoot down mortars and artillery shells, and they were successful on >>that. >>--------------------------- >> >>If, as Beason says, lasers are available that can blow up mines, they're just >>a casually cruel thought away from being used to attack humans. The THEL as >>described seems effective until you realize that the rockets or artillery >>shells have to be coming directly at the weapon in order to be in range of >>its rays.
