If true and do-able, a tad sinister?

"stolen a march on the Americans" I think not. there are a great number of conspiracy theories on why as of late a shocking number of TV presenters have had on air cognitive breakdowns in the US. There are multitudes of vids on the web of these unexplained events. The consensus: the US is already fielding such devices. Still, having the Soviets 2.0 publically announce them may force the acknowledgement of their existence

They have them here in the UK, ever wondered what those strange mini lamp post columns without lights but with metallic microphone shapes are? They are not just there to improve mobile communication. Oh and the TV/radio is also used to control minds, please look up those patents on the net (if you are interested).

The long-term effects are not known, but two years ago a former major in the Russian foreign intelligence agency, the GRU, died in Scotland after making claims about such a weapons programme to MI6.

Sergei Serykh, 43, claimed he was a victim of weapons which he said were ‘many times more powerful than in the Matrix films’.

Mr Serykh died after falling from a Glasgow tower block with his wife and stepson in March 2010. While his death was assumed to be suicide, his family fear there was foul play.

Shock !!!!

Pun intended wink

At least we know how the zombie pandemic starts.

Start hoarding. Build defences and get guns, lots of guns.

I want one of these new fangled muslamic (or Russian) ones.


I've taken the door off the microwave and fitted a revolving wooden handle underneath but it's a bugger to hold and aim. Killed a leaf in practice but it took 3 minutes (and was pretty much point blank).

I was under the impression that these things have been in development for quite a while and not just by the Ruskies.

The Daily Wail article said:
‘When it was used for dispersing a crowd and it was focused on a man, his body temperature went up immediately as if he was thrown into a hot frying pan. Still, we know very little about this weapon and even special forces guys can hardly cope with it.’
Sounds very much like THIS which the Yanks have been developing for crowd control and according to the article has possibly already been deployed in Afghanistan.

Then there is our very own BAE who have come up with a device that can cook boat engines.
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/04/bae-builds... I'm sure I've read that there are suspicions that it has been tried out against Somali pirates.

Sounds to me like the usual Daily Wail getting half a story and making a mountain out of a molehill.

This was deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq, but was also withdrawn from deployment for some reason.

The test videos are pretty amusing and seem to be available on the internet.

I understand that the Chinese have a similar device which uses low frequency sound to induce vomiting etc in crowds.
