Don't Bet Burned!

By MANUEL GARCIA, Jr.

In an article published at Counterpunch on May 28, Michael Dickinson described the microwave crowd dispersal device being produced by the Raytheon corporation . I want to offer some suggestions on countermeasures. First, let me give a brief description of the nature of this device.

---description snipped----

Fine, but how do you thwart it? The best protection is distance, just don't be the target! However, if one wishes to engage in a demonstration and be protected from this device, the best protection would be your own electromagnetic shielding or "Faraday cage." If you are within a conducting mesh (a Faraday cage), where the mesh openings are small with respect to the incident radiation, and with a ground wire that leads intercepted electromagnetic energy away from you, then you are safe. This remedy is not likely to be convenient, but then, perhaps creative talents can find effective refinements of this concept. A suit of armor with chains trailing from your ankles to leak currents into the ground may not be ideal protection. However, plastic shields with embedded meshing, even aluminum foil or aluminized mylar (shiny garbage bags?), behind which individuals could stand (huddle?, crouch?) might allow people to thwart the intent of the device. Once people understand the physics being used against them, they may be able to to fashion materials readily available to them into effective countermeasures; this requires some planning.

never attribute to conspiracy that which can amply be attributed to the actions of a bunch of greedy stupid self serving men in power

it would seem then , that a few hundred years ago the war between "cavaliers" and "round heads" had more to it than meets the eye .

note how

one waring faction had faraday clothing to stop arrows and knives penetrating their chests .

maybe an old english civil war suit is the answere here .
