They are testing it on pretend peace activists.
Over at After Downing Street, Swanson has put up a video from 60 Minutes that shows the military testing their new toy. It’s called Active Denial System and it sends bursts of hi-frequency heat at the target.
According to the story, if used properly, it won’t cause any damage (apparently you can dial it up or down depending on what you want to do to the target.). This gives the operator the ability to disperse crowds at will with sudden intense pain, like boiling water or oil or perhaps even worse.
The pentagon spokesperson in charge of the development of this weapon giggles when she talks about it because, as she says, it gives them the ability to “read minds”. If the target runs away and submits to authority, then there you go. But, if they don’t then “they must be a terrorist” and a real threat (and I guess they can dial it up or just shot them to death). Nice huh? Submit or die.
Welcome to America.
Let me restate this in case you missed it: a giggling Pentagon zealot is playing with her ray-gun that lets her read-minds to determine which of the Peace Activists need to be zapped into submission and which need to be killed. You think I’m lying? Go watch it yourself.
But the interesting thing here is who are they practicing on? Terrorists with “Peace” signs. Terrorists with “Love not War” signs. Terrorists with “Peace not War” signs. These are the “terrorists” that the military feels they need to zap? And what gets me about this too, is this person running the program is going to use this weapon, as a deterrent, at a demonstration to disperse the crowds, but then when some of those protesters don’t “submit” right away, what is that woman going to unleash next because they must be the “real” terrorists?

scary…..
Ok, when do get to equate what we are capable of doing (to our own people no less) to what god awful human experiments went on in Nazi Germany? Cause this is the slippery slope that our country is going down right now.
