heat-beaming weapon ready by 2010

This is actually covered on the SotT page as well - http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/126064-US+military+unveils+heat-ray+gun


...and already discussed on the forum, here http://www.cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=4936
 
And remember, we should "try these out on our own citizens first," according to a US general... such a poignant little threat to dissenters.

But remember... there are some fairly inexpensive and simple ways to beat a weapon such as this one... if you "reflect" on it a while... ;-)

Hmmm.... maybe we ought to start a line of reflective clothing.
 
Actually --- with a nod in Ark's general direction here ;-) --- we should be able to come up with a small, quickly unfoldable (I just know that's not a word, but it'll do, lol) shield that might even be capable of functioning much like Perseus's shield...? Just thinking......

I was thinking that something like this had already been tried in NY in the Feb 03 protests but it turns out to be a Long Range Acoustic Device.

Still, it will cause damage to the ears.

One thing that none of the "new weapons enthusiasts" have mentioned is that, in using such weapons as "crowd control," the "crowd" is quite likely to panic and run --- certainly the people who get hit first, who will likely be in the middle of the crowd, will start the process, and the panic will snowball from there. So while the weapons themselves may not (emphasis on "may" --- remember the "nonfatal" Taser) cause fatal injury when used sparingly, the ensuing panic and stampede surely will.

Besides, who trusts the police and military to use any weapon sparingly, sanely and compassionately?

And that is the just of it, I think. unLAWful enforcement doesn't know the meaning of those three words let alone how to put those words into use. It makes me wonder if it is not the psychopathic ones that are the ones picked to operate these devices. fwiw
 
Lynne, amongst my peer group in high school, the only ones who went into "law enforcement" were the ones who also displayed the most tendencies towards antisocial and even criminal behavior. I don't like to make sweeping generalizations, but law enforcement and the military both swallowed these guys up, and I'll bet it wasn't only in my neighborhood that that holds true. For that matter, how would anyone not psychopathic be able to turn weapons like this on others simply for "crowd control"... when it'll probably be in effect his own neighbors he'll be "controlling?" Now standards in the military have been significantly lowered --- even gang members and somewhat mentally challenged people are being enlisted. And the madness goes on....

However, just for the record, you are making sweeping generalizations. Yes, there is a segment of this population that can be classified as exhibiting 'deviant mentality' - but there is also a large segment who are normal people, who are usually very sound asleep and simply trying to do their best, as a part of a system in which they believe. I'm making no excuses for the excesses, abuses and deviancy - because it is evident - but, in the interest of perspective, there are sincere, earnest people who dedicate their lives in this way - and - sometimes, sleeping human beings dream that they are helping in the best way they know how, never seeing the bigger picture. fwiw
 
Well, it used to be that law enforcement jobs had a whole different image and many people who joined were people interested in serving the larger public. In more recent years (past 10 or 15), the image has changed dramatically and I would think that these jobs attract mostly deviants now. In other words, except for the old-timers who have been there for awhile, the new guys on the jobs are probably psychos.
 
Hi, anart, perhaps my comment was a bit less than clear... my sweeping generalizations remark referred to my wish not to lump in all high school peer groups with mine --- I simply know that among those in my school, those who chose to enter law enforcement and the military were most often those who had previously displayed a fair amount of antisocial and/or criminal behavior. I'm not implying that all law enforcement and military personnel are antisocial, psychopathic, or otherwise unsavory, simply that of those who came from my school back in the day, each one who chose that path leaned in one or several of those directions.

Oh, Laura, alas, it's been a bit longer than ten or fifteen years, lol....
 
You're right, as is Laura - after thinking about it more, I think that it is very likely that some 'wishful thinking' crept in on my part. I know that there are decent people involved in those professions - but the clear evidence points to the painful fact that those people are few and far between - very few and far between - and that they've long since lost any power or influence over the bulk of the deviants. The deviants have taken over and now run the show - which is pretty much standard operating procedure in a ponerized society.
 
Many years ago you had beat cops who would patrol and walk the streets. The police had a neighborhood based philosophy when dealing with the people whom they were sworn to protect. But now you only see the police in police cruisers or perhaps very fleetingly inside a donut shop. So this creates a divide between the people and police. Once you separate the police from the people then they will see the people as “the other", as if the people are only to be dealt with from a safe distance. Similarly our armed forces, like the police, are also distanced from the people they are supposed to protect. So this “distancing� is used to further align the police and armed forces with the government and against their own people. It's also interesting how many police are often "drafted" from the military.
