UPDATE: On Weapons for use on Americans; Microwave Weapons used in Iraq

[lisainmilo]

It seems that Lasers and Microwave weapons are already in use. This is not to say they won't also be used for crowd control in U.S.


Star Wars In Iraq

Is The U.S. using new experimental "Tactical High Energy Laser" weapons in Iraq?

“Star Wars in Iraq” is a new investigative report by Maurizio Torrealta and Sigfrido Ranucci.

RAI 24 News - Run Time 25 Minutes

According to official Pentagon sources, military vehicles equipped with this laser device have been used in Afghanistan to explode mines. According to two reliable military information sites – Defense Tech and Defence Industry Daily - at least three such vehicles are being used in Iraq as well and some people report having seen them.

Here is the link for the video and more reading

[lisainmilo]

12. Apparently not good enough!!!

I just think this is so important, hardly any viewers. Did you watch the whole video. This is about war crimes. Thsi is what the admininstation is denying. I wished more people would have checked this out. Please pass it to your friends. We will be hearing about this in the news more and more in the next few days.

2. I read and posted articles and pics on this over a year ago.

They look sorta like a water cannon, and mounted on top of a HumVee

and they CAN literally cook a human being from the inside out, just like a Microwave does to a chicken leg, or whatever.

But I'm sure the PNACers will keep it to a low enuf level that all you would ever get is a sunburn . .

We know stun-guns(tasers) are used responsibly - they never killed anyone, right?

And them "Smart" bombs - they don't kill civilians, right?

I've bumped into numerous articles that Iraq, besides being a strategic base for launching global war on the European/Asian continent - is a testing ground for all the PNACers new murderous toys -

I mean, how could they know if their satellite targeting system was really reliable unless they had a REAL testing ground

Iraq was "IT"

And Junior got to satisfy his blood lust -

Well at least just the start of it -

Even THAT's not accurate -

He didn't earn the handle of the "Texecutioner" for nothing -

But now -

He can slaughter 100's of thousands

Before - it was only a few dozen or so a year.

THAT is who is running(ruining) your country . . . . .

Wonder why the world is starting to shun the US of A

go figure . . .

3. I remember it being discussed here in 2001..

but no doubt they want to remind us all that they have these things, in case large "crowds" assemble after the '08 elections :tinfoilhat:

[lisainmilo]

4. Funny, the video didn't take place until after 2003!!!

Maybe just the possibility of it being used was discussed...now it is being and has been used!!!!

[SoCalDem]

5. The video is new, but there was discussion of the articles

back then ..

[lisainmilo]

6. Did you watch the video?

n/t

8. Here's another link with info from a defense magazine..

Thor – High Energy Laser IED Neutralization System

Wow..just wow..

10. Your article states introduction but they have been using them...torture??

You see, yesterdays post about using microwave on Americans for testing http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2132808&mesg_id=2132808
and this article both read like this is going to be starting up, NOT TRUE, and may be construed as torture in the Iraq war, if use is proved.

The video is clear, that the Iraqi Surgeons did not know what type of weapons were used to shrink people or decapitate, dismember, burn, etc.

I hope you get a chance to watch if you haven't already

Maybe why Bush in a rush for this new interpetation of war crimes.

14. Yes I noticed the dates and them saying it was new

but I posted the link as back up to your link that such weapons do exist. IMO, if the weapons are being pictured and spoken about so freely as in the defense mag., that they've been used already.

I remember reading before on DU and other articles that the Dr's over there were baffled by what was causing some of the horrendous deaths and injuries.

I'm going to try the video again today..I made it 1/2 way through last night and had problems viewing it.

9. There's one called ZEUS that's used to explode IEDs, and can

be used in humanitarian venues (to explode unexploded ordnance). I guess if you use it on people instead of IEDs----bad news! But it's designed for ordnance neutralization.

on edit: found a link about it from the manufacturer
http://www.zeus.sparta.com/overview.html

[lisainmilo]

11. They are using it on people!...Thats the problem n/t

[soothsayer]

13. Well, we don't know for sure if it's a 'peaceful' tool like zeus being

misused or if it's an evil weapon designed to laser folks to death. Gross, tho.

On edit: but why is it better to blow people up or shoot them with bullets? Just because were USED to it? All acts of killing are hideous.

[chat_noir]

17. used on civilians according to the video

We must take our country back from these monsters.
