Death Rays in Denver

August 30, 2008 at 11:04 pm (Angst) (, , , , , , , , )

Imagine you’re a super-villain.  You have $18 million to spend on high-tech weaponry to use against the American people.  What would you buy?  A weather machine?  Sharks with freakin’ lasers on their heads?  No, of course not.  You buy a death ray.

The city of Denver received $50 million in federal money for security expenses for the DNC.  The city’s police department is spending $18 million on new equipment but refuses to say what they bought.  The ACLU is currently suing for this information while the Denver Department of Safety claims that revealing what high-tech weaponry our police possess would be against the public good.

In July, Denver told the ACLU that no high-tech or unconventional weaponry had been purchased.  The DNC has come and gone with minimal violence.  Police were seen firing rounds that exploded into blinding pepper powder as well as using armored vehicles and what appear to be ninja bo-staves.  (Maybe Napoleon Dynamite now works for the Denver 5-0).  Although no death-rays were used in Denver, some are claiming that they saw such weapons.

In my previous post, Death-rays in Iraq, I warned that death-rays would be used against protesters and now that day is almost here.  The new toys which the Denver police have acquired with my federal tax dollars may include include: the LRAD, a sonic ray gun and the ADS a microwave weapon.  Fox news also promoted a rumor that the DPD has acquired a “crap cannon.”  This weapon, also called “the brown note,” is designed to emit a sonic frequency that causes involuntary contractions of the lower intestines (i.e. a ray that makes you shit yourself.)

According to Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne, these weapons SHOULD be used on American protestors as this will make them more justifiable for use against civilians in Iraq and elsewhere.

We are rapidly advancing into an Orwellian nightmare.  This is a cross-roads: either the public will become outraged that these weapons are being researched and purchased by our government, or else we will come to accept their presence as another “unpleasant” aspect of modern life.  This missive will attempt to disseminate some information about these weapons, look at the evidence as to whether they were present in Denver, and finally present homework as to what can be done about them.

Let’s start with the LRAD (Long range Acoustic Device).  This “non-lethal” weapon is made by the American Technology Corporation (ATCO).  It was originally marketed to the military but is now being sold to local law enforcement and private security companies (mercenaries.)  It is marketed as a communication device capable of emitting a “deterrent tone.”  You say deterrent tone.  I say sonic death ray.

LRADs could be seen everywhere in New York City during the 2004 Republican convention but were never used.  Most people didn’t even know what they were.  Note the large black dish mounted on the police hummer below:

 However, I DID find footage of the LRAD in action against unarmed civilians.

This footage made me sick to my stomach.  About three minutes in, you can see the LRAD being used on protestors in Georgia!

Golly, I wonder where Georgia got all this high-tech weaponry?  I mean the US military just starting using this weapon a few years ago and already Georgia has it?

This is further evidence that Georgia’s attack on Russian citizens in South Ossetia was engineered by the US government.  I strongly suspect that this attack was encouraged so that Russia could be presented as an enemy in time for elections. (Youtube is crawling with posts from angry Ossetians saying they were attacked by US special forces.  I wish I could read Cyrllic.)  I can’t go into this here, it deserves another post.

Next, the Active Denial System (ADS).  This is a microwave weapon that makes you feel like your skin is on fire.  Alex Jones warned of this device for years and years but no one took him seriously.  Then it was featured on 60 minutes.

 

And early ADS (Raytheon's version for law-enforcement is smaller)

I found an interview with one Federal Agent “Dave Gaubatz.”  He claims the ADS was never intended as non-lethal technology and was always intended as a death-ray.  This seems far more likely to me.  At any rate, it is a moot point as a non-lethal microwave frequency can always be modified into a lethal one.

Raytheon has made a smaller version of the ADS called “The Silent Guardian.”  The FCC has allowed Raytheon to market this weapon to law-enforcement so it is totally reasonable to assume that Denver spent some of their $18 million weapons-shopping-spree on a Silent Guardian.

Alex Jones claims to have video-taped a police vehicle outfitted with and ADS.  Here is the footage:

What is this thing?  It appears to be a newly purchased, black police vehicle.  As to its purpose—we will never know unless the ACLU wins their lawsuit.

Here is another link claiming to show an active denial system mounted on a police vehicle.  I think that this is almost certainly the hatch of the vehicle and not a weapon.  However, watching the “conventional weapons” used by the Denver police is disturbing enough.

Homework:

1) Tell everyone you know about these weapons.  This needs to become a political issue.  A lot of effort has gone into hiding the existence of these weapons and using misleading information to describe what they do.  It needs to become opprobrium if a company is contributing to this research or if elected officials are using your tax dollars to purchase death rays.

2) We need to bankrupt companies that research these weapons.  ATCO currently has representatives to sell their weapons in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.  They invest in the suppression of democracy around the world.  You should not invest in these companies and you should make sure mutual funds and other portfolios are clean too.  More importantly, this means not voting for elected officials that do business with these people.  Almost all of their contracts are either to the military or law enforcement.  That means these companies are run by our tax-dollars.  Without us, they die.

The American Technology Corporation is evil.  They make sonic weapons.

Raytheon is evil.  They make microwave weapons.

3) If you live in Denver, you should seriously consider whether you want this man

in charge of your safety.  This guy’s department claimed it goes against your safety to know how $18 million in federal money was spent.  If you believe ignorance is freedom, then by all means let him stay in office.  Otherwise:
