I know this little thread is all over the place, but has anyone actually seen a copy of this document, excerpted below. It gets mentioned in footnotes in all kinds of MC sites...reputable and not so.<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br>3. Lt.Col David J. Dean USAF, Low-Intensity Conflict and Modern Technology with a forward by Congressman Newt Gingrich, (Air University Press, Center for Aerospace Doctrine Research and Education, Maxwell AFB June, 1986)<br><br>Exerpt: THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM IN LOW-INTENSITY CONFLICT By Capt Paul E. Tyler,MC,USAF POTENTIAL MILITARY APPLICATIONS OF EMR The exploitation of this technology for military uses is still in its infancy and only recently has been recognized by the United States as a feasible option. A 1982 Air Force review of biotechnology had this to say: Currently available data allow the projection that specially generated radio frequency radiation (RFR) fields may pose powerful and revolutionary antipersonnel military threats. Electroshock therapy indicates the ability of induced electric current to completely interrupt mental functioning for short periods of time, to obtain cognition for longer periods and to <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>restructure emotional response over prolonged intervals</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. Experience with electroshock therapy, RFR experiments and the increasing understanding of the brain as an electrically mediated organ suggested the serious probability that impressed electromagnetic fields can be disruptive to purposeful behavior and may be capable of directing and or interrogating such behavior. Further, the passage of approximately 100 milliamperes through the myocardium can lead to cardiac standstill and death, again pointing to a speed-of-light weapons effect. A rapidly scanning RFR system could provide an effective stun or kill capability over a large area. System effectiveness will be a function of wave form, field intensity, pulse widths, repetition frequency, and carrier frequency. The system can be developed using tissue and whole animal experimental studies, coupled with mechanisms and waveform effects research. Using relatively low- level RFR, it may be possible to sensitize large military groups to extremely dispersed amounts of biological or chemical agents to which the unirradiated population would be immune.(1)<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> <p></p><i></i>
