LRAD Sonic Weapons To Be Deployed 'Throughout' America For Crises
Paul Joseph Watson
INTRO:(Comment)
Acoustic weapons can be evaded and countered with ease by people with brains, but if they ever deploy their microwave crowd control weapon, you will be in such agony and pain you will beg them to take your guns and every piece of ammo… at this time the range is about 1.2 miles, by the end of this decade they will be able to mound them on a drone and radiate you from 10000 feet up and you will wish you weren’t born. There was a time where the government was afraid of the people and their 2nd amendment toys… but for the last 100 years the government has developed technology that will take you and your weapons out without them having to worry… weapons in the hands of the people have hardly advanced and are basically still the same for the last 100 years, the government is so far ahead the people are getting to a point where they have no chance. what will you do with your cold steel against a drone at 50000ft that records all your movements and takes you our with a rocket? All those dreams about a 2nd revolution are just that… dreams, reality has overtaken the dreamers long time ago. This country is not the mid east where the government has no resources past conventional weapons.---Rod Remelin
The U.S. Air National Guard has purchased half a million dollars worth of portable LRAD acoustic systems, which are commonly used by police to quell protests and civil unrest, ensuring that the sonic weapons will be deployed “throughout” America during upcoming national emergencies and other crises.
The video above demonstrates how the portable LRAD works even at 200 feet high and amidst the noise of a helicopter.
LRAD Corporation has received an order worth $550,00 from the Air National Guard to ship LRAD 100X devices this quarter.
“With this order, LRAD systems will be in use by every major force of the Department of Defense,” Tom Brown, president and CEO of LRAD told Government Security News [1]. “The Air National Guard will be deploying the LRAD 100X systems throughout the country to support and assist civil authorities in the event of severe natural or man-made disasters. LRAD systems have proven highly effective in communicating warnings, instructions and commands over wide areas before, during, and in the aftermath of catastrophes.”
As well as being powerful communication devices, LRADs emit piercing sounds that amount to nothing less than auditory torture, and serve to disperse people from geographical areas, breaking up demonstrations and other gatherings.
Larger versions of the LRAD, previously used against Somali pirates and insurgents in Afghanistan, are increasingly being deployed inside America. In 2009, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department deployed an LRAD against people going to a town hall meeting [2].
The largest version of the LRAD is routinely used to break up “unlawful assemblies” at protests of global summits,including at the 2009 G20 in Pittsburgh [3], during which an LRAD was used to terrify local residents who weren’t even involved in the protest.
The LRAD 100X is weather proof, able to be heard clearly at distances of 600 meters and is 20 to 30 decibels louder than a standard bullhorn. The sound which the device is capable of emitting to disperse people is both a tool of torture and psychological warfare. Despite being described as “non-lethal,” the most powerful versions of the device can kill under certain conditions.
Studies have found that the type of sound waves emitted by the sonic weapon can cause epileptic seizures, long term problems affecting brain tissue, as well as cardiovascular and central nervous system damage in humans.
As we have previously highlighted, preparations on behalf of law enforcement bodies, the federal government and branches of the military for domestic disorder have been ongoing.
The Department of Homeland Security has purchased over 1.4 billion rounds of ammunition [4] in the last six months alone.
Last year, DHS chief Janet Napolitano directed ICE to prepare [5] for a mass influx of immigrants into the United States, calling for the plan to deal with the “shelter” and “processing” of large numbers of people.
The U.S. Army has also been preparing for domestic disorder.
A recently leaked [6] US Army Military Police training manual for “Civil Disturbance Operations” outlines how military assets are to be used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms and even kill Americans on U.S. soil during mass civil unrest.
U.S. troops are also being provided with new state of the art headgear in order to carry out “homeland security operations.” [7]
Back in 2008 the Washington Post reported [8] how 20,000 U.S. troops returning from Iraq would be stationed inside America under Northcom for purposes of “domestic security” from September 2011 onwards.
Northcom officials were forced to subsequently issue a denial after the Army Times initially reported [9] that the troops would be used to deal “with civil unrest and crowd control.”
Watch a clip of a larger version of the LRAD dispersing protesters at the 2009 G20 in Pittsburgh, the first time the device was used inside the United States.
