A military grade, high-tech ray gun that fires an invisible heat beam for unbearable pain will be tested on inmates in the sheriff's detention facility in Castaic, California officials said Friday. All military weapons must be tested on humans. Major loopholes exists that allow the U.S. government to conduct experiments on individual and populated geographical areas.
"The 'Assault Intervention System' (AIS) developed by the Raytheon Co., could give the Sheriff's Department 'another tool' to quell disturbances at a 65-inmate dormitory at the Pitchess Detention Center's North County Correctional Facility, said Cmdr. Bob Osborne, head of the technology exploration branch of the sheriff's Department of Homeland Security Division," reports Blacklisted News..
Osborne said, "We're looking to see if we can exploit this science for the benefit of the Corrections Department."
"Sheriff's Deputy David Judge manned the controls and fired the beam, using a joystick and a monitor, not unlike a video game, to aim the ray gun's camera."
On Mar 2, 2008, 60 Minutes on CBS News reported on the ray gun in its program, The Pentagon's Ray Gun reported by David Martin.
The new technology is under the misnomer, non-lethal weapons. As William Thomas revealed in 2005, the so-called non-lethal weaponry has also been tested and used on Iraqi civilians.
A US army veteran told the Examiner that the new weaponry burns holes straight through Iraqis, killing them, remotely, without bloodshed. Civilians on a bus were killed that way.
Thomas wrote about new weaponry:
"Very Low Frequency (VLF) weapons include the dozens of 'poppers' currently deployed in Iraq, which can be dialed to or 'long wave' frequencies capable of traveling great distances through the ground or intervening structures. As air force Lt Col. Peter L. Hays, Director of the Institute for National Security Studies reveals, 'Transmission of long wavelength sound creates biophysical effects; nausea, loss of bowels, disorientation, vomiting, potential internal organ damage or death may occur.'" (See: Microwaving Iraq, Pacifying Rays Pose New Hazards in Iraq, Rense. www.rense.com/general62/mciro.htm)
"Hays calls VLF weapons 'superior' because their directed energy beams do not lose their hurtful properties when traveling through air to tissue. A French weapon radiating at 7 hertz "made the people in range sick for hours."
"According to members of Hank's former unit, constant exposure to invisible emissions from radar and radio rigs -- as well as to their own microwave weapons -- is backfiring. 'Our people are driven nuts,' Hank says. 'It makes them stupid for two or three days.'
With US troops' highest suicide rates in history, one wonders if new weaponry that "makes them stupid" might be partially responsible, especially combined with drugs they are provided and war crimes ordered to commit. Thomas learned, however, that it was not conscience causing mental injuries.
Thomas wrote, "As a consequence, AWOL rates among 'spaced out' US troops are as high as 15%, Hank reports. For many deserters, it is not cowardice or conscience that is causing them to absent themselves from duty. 'They are feeling so depressed,' Hank explains. 'They don't feel good. So they leave.'"
Inmates do not have that option.
Experimenting on non-consenting humans continues, overseas and on US soil.
The entire Gulf Coast region deliberately sprayed and subjected to oil poisons is one giant non-consensual human experiment according to many scientists. (See: Censored Gulf oil news: Americans sprayed, coated with poisons (Video), Examiner, July 5, 2010)
The US has a long history of both aerial spraying and non-consensual human experimentation. (See: Vaccine Liberty or Death, Non-Consensual Human Experimentation, Timeline, Dupre)

So sick
can we use it on congress for their voracious appetite for overspending and their corrupt legislative processes? Can we please?
Finally a way to turn up the heat on our elected officials in congress. Something to ponder.
Test it on politicians every time they vote for something unconstitutional.
Or when they lie
When they lie??! -- Might as well just manufacture it WITHOUT an off switch...
You DO know these weapons are being built for 'You The People' right?
Lets just get that clear.
Hows that Trading Freedom for security working out for y'all...Hmmmm?
And one day, just like that....the streets were empty and the camps were full.
The following year, eternal silence was heard across the once mighty US of A
Exactly.
Your either with US
or your with the terrorist's
Yea according to bush, what a bunch of BS. the USA is the biggest Terrorist on the planet! Wish you would all go back to YOUR own countries!
i think this is fake
i think its like Krsna says in Bhagavad-gita that the demoniac create unbenficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world
yeah, whatever, so let's pray that Krsna returns and slices and dices all these demons and feeds them to poor sharks and such that are being tortured in the GOM by the poisons these miscreants are dumping there!.....
dude!! i second that emotion!
yeah, those hairy critter demons chastised by hare krishna himself!
This is why unfortunately the public needs missiles...to take out equipment like this when it is being used on "WE THE PEOPLE" sometime/somewhere in the future.
For someone who supposedly has Post Graduate degrees, Deborah's writing and grammar is very bad. I wonder if she has ever learned how to use a spell-checker, or if she even reviews her own work before posting it?
Also, this 'article' is loaded with emotive language, and statements of fact without references or citations as to the origin of these so-called facts.
This would be thrown out of any proper news organisation.
Laudable as your human-rights aims might be, Deborah, you need to learn how to write objectively.
The guy is a (deleted) for subjecting himself to this in the first place.
Then he says nothing about this hideous beam's implications - that it is torture by definition and that it is against international law.
Burning holes through the head on Iraqi's as an experiment. Congratulations for people getting so low using such a technology ! We have a portable microwave, so please use it on shooting doves in the air to bake it later and serve it at a table. The internal damage will be high with this weapon, even you jump just out of the beam. Your muscles are cooked.
OBSERVATION: Gee, a lot faster than water-boarding (saves water); plus, it doesn't leave any great video footage for investigative journalism for corporate MSM broadcasts. Here is fine example of a taxpayer expenditure being channeled though corporations for the betterment of mankind for the 21st Century! I find it hard to rationalize no latent side effects of using this long range microwave oven for crowd control. Remember what they said about DDT 60 years ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQzx2ZyaSbw
We only gonna use da ray gun to heat up all dat pie that Michelle took from ya!
One more thing to show what kind of communist government we are turning into..and who is actually in 'charge' of the people in the good ole United States. The flag doesn't stand for freedom anymore. Those that actually "fought" for our freedoms are shaking their heads right now, or rolling over in their graves...
If anyone out there belives one single word of this, I have some ocean-front property in Arizona I'd like to sell. This is a bunch of journalistic half-cocked crap, to include the hokey link to CBS news, which later tells you "link not found."
This is journalistic proaganda at it's best, and borderline terroism at its worst. Stuff like this is designed to turn Americans against their own government using nothing more than unsubstanciated conspiracy theories. You, Ms. Dupre', should be ashamed of yourself. You sold out your credibility for nothing other than erroneous journlistic sensationalism, banking on nothing but the hope that people would read your work and just believe it without so much as checking your facts.
I will not be a sheep, thank you.
Sincerely,
the wolf
By the way, this is is the true story on the "ray gun." Ironically, it says nowhere that it was tested on inmates or innocent iraqi civilians. Wierd...
http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/ci_15844824?source=rss_viewed
"A military grade, high-tech ray gun that fires an invisible heat beam for unbearable pain will be tested on inmates in the sheriff's detention facility in Castaic, California officials said Friday. All military weapons must be tested on humans. Major loopholes exists that allow the U.S. government to run experiments on individual and populated geographical areas."
Well, first, it's not a "heat beam", it's a microwave device that heats the skin. I've seen this mis-stated on many sites, some calling it a "laser death ray" and the like. It's not. Straightforward radio waves.
If you're talking about 32 CFR 219, there are exemptions, but even those are pretty specific. In this case, Raytheon's prior testing of substantially similar devices (ADS) was done in conformance with the law, using informed consent. In fact, pretty much everyone associated with the project was either required or highly encouraged to participate in the testing at the 'business end' of the device, especially in the military tests out at Kirtland.
"The new technology is under the misnomer, non-lethal weapons. As William Thomas revealed in 2005, the so-called non-lethal weaponry has also been tested and used on Iraqi civilians.
A US army veteran told the Examiner that the new weaponry burns holes straight through Iraqis, killing them, remotely, without bloodshed. Civilians on a bus were killed that way."
Total fabrication, right there.
What she's talking about was an unsubstantiable "news article" that RAI put out about that time. Supposedly, a school bus drove past a check point and was subjected to a mysterious "shrink beam" death ray that turned people into headless doll-sized corpses, so said an Iraqi witness, who couldn't be found for the news video. The first cut of RAI's news video had the entire story, with the entertaining addition of a witness saying that the beam "implanted demons into the people, that grew and then ate their way out by cutting off the heads from the inside". That was a bit much even for RAI's normally unquestioning customers, so they cut that part out and subbed in some of their own camera crew in medical suits to complete the interview. At the end, they name off every directed energy weapon they knew about as being "likely candidates" for this heinous bus-melting, head chopping (how does it chop the heads off of people of different heights in a moving bus?) death weapon. Amongst these was named the ADS system. In the time since, every one with a bug up their rear about one DEW or another cites the RAI video as PROOF!! that the [fill in the blank with your favorite] was used to chop off the heads/burn holes through innocent Iraqis.
The ADS family of non-lethal weapons, which includes the original ADS, Silent Guardian, Vigilant Eagle and AIS (along with a couple of other variants that are still classified) are straightforward microwave devices. ADS and SG use a superconducting gyrotron to generate their output, AIS uses a semiconductor emitter that's basically an emitter block off of an AESA.
At any rate, it's not the sort of thing that can "burn holes through you", despite a lot of the CT folk trying to make it into a laser beam to go along with that statement. It's a very high frequency microwave that's absorbed in the first 64th of an inch of your skin, more or less. It doesn't penetrate deeper due to the way that radio waves interact with matter (see Maxwell's Equations). No, just turning it up still won't drill holes in you. AIS doesn't have anywhere near the power output that the other variations do, either. It's a spin off of the ADS device that wasn't good enough on Project Sheriff.
At any rate, Thomas is a substandard source for technical info, at best. Read more of his spew:
"Very Low Frequency (VLF) weapons include the dozens of 'poppers' currently deployed in Iraq, which can be dialed to or 'long wave' frequencies capable of traveling great distances through the ground or intervening structures."
I remember when he first posted that article, there are dozens of errors in it, including him not being able to tell HF from microwave, sound from radio, or encoding methods from radio waves, but in this case, anyone who tells you that they can efficiently produce VLF with a handheld device is a liar, straight up. The wavelength of VLF radio ranges from 10 to about 100 kilometers in length. You need a HUGE antenna to radiate that. You need an antenna that's about a quarter the wavelength of your wave - and I just can't see that you'd be able to wag around a mile long aerial on your "popper". Not to mention, you can't focus a beam in less than about two wavelengths - physics again - and thus everyone for miles around would be "in the focus". Not too plausible.
VLF radio is not a weapon, and certainly not one you could carry in your pocket. Period.
"As air force Lt Col. Peter L. Hays, Director of the Institute for National Security Studies reveals, 'Transmission of long wavelength sound creates biophysical effects; nausea, loss of bowels, disorientation, vomiting, potential internal organ damage or death may occur.'"
Here is an error Ms Dupre' commits often. You'll note that Hays is talking about infrasound. Sound, not radio waves. Sound is not radio. Radio is not sound. There is no connection between the two. They are as unalike as can be. But she is quoting Hays, talking about infrasound, as a substantiating bit of evidence for Thomas, who doesn't understand that VLF can't be packed around in your pocket (and is amazingly non-technical, if you read the original article), in an article attempting to nay-say the use of a microwave weapon. None of these things are alike, at all. They are non-sequiturs. They have no connection to each other.
Here's another example - "Hays calls VLF weapons 'superior' because their directed energy beams do not lose their hurtful properties when traveling through air to tissue. A French weapon radiating at 7 hertz "made the people in range sick for hours."
Notwithstanding that you got that from Thomas, who can't tell sonar from radar, the "French weapon" they're discussing was a big infrasonic whistle driven by the APU off of a jet. Sound. Not radio waves. Again, not the same, whatsoever.
He's the CBS story title about using the ray gun on inmates: "L.A. to Use Laser Heat Ray Gun on Prisoners - CBS News." Doesn't look like bogus report to me.
The ADS less-lethal weapon family isn't bogus, Dupre's article above is, about 90%. Except, of course, that the thing has no connection whatever with lasers. The MSM doesn't seem to be bothering with having science consultants vet their stories anymore.
its not fake. I watched it on CBS on monday or tuesday I believe and I'm in a political science course here at CSUN so our teacher makes us do current events(very Jr. high!) and I wanted to do it on this. The vid. that aired on CBS is funnier though because the news anchor volunteered to try it and jumped out of the way and said "geez! that hot! it feels like I'm getting burned with a very large cigarette" haha.
"the sheriff's detention facility in Castaic, California " -That's part of the Los Angeles County Jail, 40 miles north of down town LA. (for those of you that dont know, or never been there?)
-That Place is HELL enough! with out the Asshole LA Co. Sheriff's Deputy's having a fucking toy like this! to inflict more misery on the inmates over there.... Fucking Nazi's!
I don't agree testing it on inmates or anyone, or any other living thing for that matter except those evil basterds that want to use this tech for thier own evil ends. Oh yeah, I agree that we should test it on those in power..hahah.
police was using laser-gun on me: at my rental house in Sunnyvale, at the De Anza college in Cupertino, on Pavlina plaza in Sunnyvale (2 times). How to stop it?ast time was used today at 11:40 AM on Sept. 7 2010 in Sunnyvale (by police), I guuess. Another "attack" was on parking behind Sunnyvale library and police station. It is ALWAYS a police car around could be seen. Any lawwyer on-line?
lazergun was used in Sunnyvale library on sept. 8 2010 7.50 pm
Got something to say?
