Evans wasn't killed for his thoughts but other people are still getting taken out regularly by the establishment. Barnaby Jack, Aaron Swartz, etc... Anyway, the same forces leveraged for acoustic levitation appear to have a wide range of uses. IIUC, that French paper fingers it as a useful method for knocking out tumors and blood clots with an ultrasound machine. I've witnessed it being used for the latter when my wife was pregnant. The crux is that it can create powerful and interesting tools if used appropriately. It can also be used to create WMD's if used inappropriately. Kind of takes the wind out of the whole Iran Nuclear issue if anyone with a powerful enough computer and a handle on Audio engineering can create a neutron bomb with supplies from the corner store or the local medical facility. How does the CIA and the NSA plan to stop "the terrorists" from building one of those? Will we see them being dropped from plans in Syria next or is Al Quaida going to be funded by the Saudis to stage another false flag attack using French weapons built in Russia so the US has a suitable reason for launching an airstrike on behalf of Israel under cover of the latest UN Security Council Resolution which the Chinese vetoed with Iranian support as observers? But I digress again.
