A recently declassified US Army re****t on the biological
effects of non-lethal weapons reveals outlandish plans for
"ray gun" devices, which would cause artificial fevers or beam
voices into people's heads.
The re****t titled "Bioeffects Of Selected Nonlethal Weapons"
was released under the US Freedom of Information Act and is
available on this website (pdf). The DoD has confirmed to New
Scientist that it released the do***ents, which detail five
different "maturing non-lethal technologies" using microwaves,
lasers and sound.
Released by US Army Intelligence and Security Command at Fort
Meade, Maryland, US, the 1998 re****t gives an overview of what
was then the state of the art in directed energy weapons for
crowd control and other applications.
A word in your ear
Some of the technologies are conceptual, such as an
electromagnetic pulse that causes a seizure like those
experienced by people with epilepsy. Other ideas, like a
microwave gun to "beam" words directly into people's ears,
have been tested. It is claimed that the so-called "Frey
Effect" – using close-range microwaves to produce audible
sounds in a person's ears – has been used to project the
spoken numbers 1 to 10 across a lab to volunteers'.
In 2004 the US Navy funded research into using the Frey effect
to project sound that caused "discomfort" into the ears of
crowds.

If not that, then where DO THEY get their ridiculous fake
quotes?
