What They Don't Tell You: Electromagnetic Iraq

This is a commentary on a recent article by William Thomas called "Microwaving Iraq." Thomas' web site is at www.willthomas.net. (3:33)

Hi, this is Jody Paulson from Moscow, ID with what they don't tell you.

A story broke Jan 25th entitled "MICROWAVING IRAQ: 'Pacifying' Rays Pose New Hazards In Iraq" and it's by award-winning Canadian investigative journalist William Thomas. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get to his website, willthomas.net, because it gives me an error message saying "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded." So this is a pretty important article.

In it, he talks describes GI's who are installing strange plastic domes called "poppers" in various locations in Fallujah. The grunts don't know what they're for, but Thomas speaks to combat veteran, "Hank," who does. "They are saturating the area with ULF, VLF and UHF freqs," with equipment derived from US Navy undersea sonar and communications. They have about a half-mile transmission range.

The hope is that the rays will cause any male survivors in ruined city to lose all incentive for further resistance and revenge. Hank says that he is concerned that both Iraqis and unsuspecting GIs are being used as guinea pigs for a new generation of "psychotronic" weapons using invisible beams across the electromagnetic spectrum to selectively alter moods, behavior and bodily processes. He says that the frequencies being emitted by the devises being used in Fallujah and other areas are the same Navy "freqs that drove whales nuts and made them go astray onto beaches." They also place the local population at even higher risk of serious illness, suicidal depression, impaired cognitive ability, and even death.

Perhaps they are related to what Kelly Hearn, tech writer for United Press International, wrote about February 26, 2001: "The Marine Corps is developing a non-lethal weapon that uses electromagnetic energy to heat but not permanently burn human skin. The weapon could help soldiers counter terrorism threats, control unruly crowds and defend airfields and ships. Experts confirmed it was the first time the military had designed a so-called 'directed energy weapon' for use against human targets."

According to Hank's front-line buddies, Iraqis exposed to secret beam weapons "get laid back, confused and mellow, and then blast out in a rage, as opposed to our folks going on what could only be called a "bender" and turning into a mean drunk for a while."

I have first-hand reason to believe that these kinds of devises have been used covertly at political protests here at home, and in a more directed form on individual activists. Indeed, Thomas writes about how it was used at Greenham Common, a British military base, against women who were camping around the base to protest nuclear weapons. "One day in the summer of 1984, more than 2,000 British troops suddenly pulled back, leaving the fence unguarded. Peace mom Kim Besley recalls that as curious women approached the gate, they 'started experiencing odd health effects: swollen tongues, changed heartbeats, immobility, feelings of terror, pains in the upper body.'"

This is certainly a matter that begs for further investigation.
