That, apparently, is the sentiment of the Bush administration. So they've trotted out their most advanced weapons -- acoustic weapons, designed for crowd control. From Wired:
The device uses magnets approximately 6 inches tall and 9.25 inches wide to convert electrical pulses into sound waves, and is capable of aiming sound precisely for thousands of feet -- like the sonic equivalent of a laser, or spotlight.Imagine. No more Warsaw uprisings. Hitler would have loved it.
Its path and reach can be affected by environmental factors such as nearby flat surfaces, hills, bodies of water or strong bursts of wind.
A series of test sounds beamed out by MAD, including gunfire, music and instructional commands, were audible and intelligible at distances of up to a mile.
When a subject is at close range in MAD's sonic path, and it is set to high volume, the sound can be excruciating.
I've been saying it for years: Nothing keeps government honest but the threat of insurrection. Any technology which makes rebellion impossible also makes dictatorship inevitable.

Where's the receipt number for that donation you were going to make?
Zoe, what's your point? When the Bush
administration puts forth a $500 billion
military budget (that costs more like $800
billion when the extras and finance charges
are factored in), our nickles and dimes are
not worth the time we take to contribute
them.
Zoe Brain: I think your rock is getting lonely for you. Now slither along, "dearie".
Yes, Zoe, because unless Joe proves he cares, you know, with money, more than say, you, his thoughts are invalid. I see. Very persuasive. Now explain how you would solve the global warming crisis--well, after you've provided us with receipt numbers for all of the relevant environmental and scientific organizations you've contributed to--the only thing that truly matters when one is trying to analyze and mitigate disaster--of course.
Joe,
This is a parody site right?
Excuse me if I de-Zoefy this discussion long enough to get a question answered:
Fascinating item, Joseph, but you forgot to link it to any specific incident or report.
IS these sonic crowd control supposedly happening in NO now? Or are you just making a suppositious connection?
I'd like to know, as if there really is evidence of use of sonic weaponry -- it would be consistent with the rumor of Delta Force soldiers, the Red Cross being turned back, etc. -- that's a biggie.
Like to nail this one down for us?
Also - is this technology being used to convey instructions and information that otherwise could not be heard?
This is hardly the only weapon which can subdue large (even huge) crowds or large population centers.
Microwave weapons have already been tested and reported on -- in the MSM, no less. These weapons produce an unbearable burning sensation which stops people instantly.
As for the last poster -- for at least 20 years, it has been possible to transmit speech directly into the brain with modulated electromagnetic radiation. The voice heard sounds as if it's originating inter-cranially.
In a word, these weapons already exist. Using them, of course, opens a Pandora's box no less dangerous than the nuclear one. Is the Bush administration capable of it? I wouldn't bet against it.
The bottom line is.....
You talk a lot, but when it comes to actual action, no matter how small, you make excuses.
anon#1 - "Our Nickles and Dimes are not worth the time we take to contribute them". But you have time to leave comments. Your opinions are worth more than others lives then.
jmf - Insults not arguments, and a teeny touch of anti-TS prejudice too.
jen - A straw man argument, and a change of subject. So why do you hate all blacks, Jen, after all, you haven't contributed either, have you? As for solving the Global warming Crisis, the one on Mars has me worried. You do know that Mars is going through the same thing as we are, don't you? It's called "solar variability" and apart from mitigating the effects, there's little we can do.
Go do some reading on the subject.
anon #2 - No, they are beyond parody. Like Shawn Penn
anon #3 - fair comment, back on topic
aw - ummm.... no
anan #4 - that's why so many on the left are wearing tinfoil hats, to protect them from the Evil Rovian Jewish Voices in their heads. Right. Logical.
Now where's the receipt number? Come on, you made a commitment. Or do you habitually lie, welch and dishonour debts?
The solution is obvious, zoe brain: move to Mars, where you can enjoy the natural climate, pursue your philanthropic efforts and continue life as a troll.
Don't worry about the expense: Bush will designate you as a religion. You'll then be eligible for faith-based money to reform the juvenile delinquents and liberals on Mars, before they get to earth and spoil everything for the Republican Party and other "normal" Americans.
And don't forget your tin hat....
Sonic weapons are OK, I guess, but but a 30-06 slug is so much more effective in stopping looters and other lowlifes, like those dirtbags who were shooting at the engineers yesterday.
So many blogs and only 10 numbers to rate them. I'll have to give you a 10 because you have done a good job. Great Job,
