Army Orders Pain Ray Trucks; New Report Shows ‘Potential for Death’

October 13th, 2008

Via: Wired:

“As a consequence, the ADS provides the technical possibility to produce burns of second and third degree. Because the beam of diameter 2 m and above is wider than human size, such burns would occur over considerable parts of the body, up to 50% of its surface. Second- and third-degree burns covering more than 20% of the body surface are potentially life-threatening – due to toxic tissue-decay products and increased sensitivity to infection – and require intensive care in a specialized unit. Without a technical device that reliably prevents re-triggering on the same target subject, the ADS has a potential to produce permanent injury or death. ”

    Did I ever tell you about my time campaigning for Ron Paul, and experiencing a petty enlightenment after primary day? The count co-ordinator was a nice guy, he was a hard worker, smart, had a big family, really Christian but great people. He was putting in all this money to buy campaign paraphanalia, out of his pocket. Finally, on our big meeting prior to primary day, the night Ron Paul decided winning wasn’t feasible because Romney dropped out, I asked him what he did for a living.

    “I work for Raytheon.”

    LOL
