Directed-energy technology is the perfect covert weapon. It leaves no fingerprints and is non-attributable. For decades alternative researchers, activists and scientists sounded the alarm and some even resorted to the use of tin foil, placing it in the windows of their homes or fashioning head gear from it to protect themselves from the perceived threat. It may have been an inchoate action but at least it recognized there was a threat.
Those so engaged are taunted and jeered by the “people who know better” and who talk down to us—the corporate media and Hollywood’s tastemakers and trend setters.

In the case of the corporate media, whose job it is to suppress that which contradicts the dogma of the ruling class, scorn is employed to limit debate and suppress dissenting evidence before it can receive a fair hearing in the public square. These suppression tactics limit the advancement of knowledge and entrench the ruling class monopoly over information.
