Ricks If the U.S. eventually intervenes in the former Yugoslavia, says Col. Jamie Gough, the Air Force's deputy director of planning, its arsenal "absolutely" will includea new class of devices: nonlethal weapons. Without killing people, such weaponry would disrupt telephones, radars, computers and other communications and targeting equipment, he says. Other defense officials say the damage would be inflicted by a new electromagnetic "pulse" generator that disables equipment without hurting people. They say the U.S. also could deploy "combustion inhibitors" that stop the engines of moving vehicles, as well as chemicals that crystallize and destroy certain kinds of tires. These new type of weapons are only a tiny fraction of the current defense budget of $274.3 billion, but they are rapidly gaining favor. At least two dozen projects exploringnonlethal technologies are under way at defense laboratories. Several of the U.S.'s 10 regional commanders-in-chief within the past 18 months have sent the Joint Chiefs classified "mission needs statements" asking for nonlethal weapons. Les Aspin, President elect Clinton's nominee for Secretary of Defense, has also expressed interest innonlethal weaponry. So sorry - If the Gulf War made "smart" weapons familiar to the world, the next U.S. conflict is likely to introduce "nicer" weapons - in what could be a noteworthy step in American military strategy. Page 1 By devising ways to stop an adversary without killing its soldiers or devastating their hardware, advocates say, the U.S. could greatly widen its range of potential military responses to threats abroad. Proponents of nonlethality say it may be best suited to Somalia and other "peacemaking" missions the U.S. military may take on in the post-Cold War world. Marines in Mogadishu may soon wish they had stun guns or other nonlethal means of disarming 14-year- olds toting AK-47s, notes one fan of the new weaponry. Despite the name, nonlethal weapons are hardly gentle, and in a few instances, they could even make war more grotesque. For example, powerful lasers designed to destroy an enemy tank's optics could also explode a soldier's eyeballs. Portable microwave weapons being field-tested by the U.S. Special Forces can quietly cut enemy communications but also can cook internal organs. "I don't know that nonlethality is all that humane," concludes Myron L. Wolbarsht, a Duke University ophthalmologist and expert on laser weapons. Backdoor Nuke? What's more, the quiet U.S. move into nonlethality could pry open a Pandora's box of chemical, biological and nuclear weaponry that diplomats have spent much of the 20th century trying to keep closed. The U.S.Central Command, the unified command for the Middle East that formerly was headed by Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, has told the Joint Chiefs of Staff that it wants a wide-area-pulse capability - that is, the ability to fry enemy electronics by detonating a warhead outside the atmosphere. The Central Command's statement didn't expressly say so, but only a nuclear explosion would be powerful enough to do the job. "You're probably talking about a few tens of kilotons," says Earl Rubright, science adviser to the Central Command. He contends that the Iraqi army invading Kuwait in 1991 could have been stopped nonlethally with one such pulse blast. Even in its less controversial forms, nonlethality has been caught up in the debate about the U.S. role in the post-Cold War world. Joint Chiefs Chairman Colin Powell argues that the U.S. should use its military only when it can apply decisive and overwhelming force. Nonlethality lowers that hurdle by making it easier to invoke the military in a crisis. "It gives you more options, but there's a danger of illusions that these things can be done more quickly and precisely," says a senior Air Force officer. Practical Considerations - Many officers also wonder how the exotic new weapons would work on the battlefield. Disabling equipment could require better targeting intelligence than the U.S. gathered in the Gulf War. And once a platoon of advancing tanks had been, say, pulsed or "lasered" into submission, how would a commander know which ones really had lost their targeting mechanisms and which were playing possum? A bigger worry is that nonlethal weapons someday may be aimed at U.S. forces. Because the U.S. military is increasingly high-tech, "it's perhaps more vulnerable to disabling measures than many potential adversaries," an Army paper warns. But nonlethality also Page 2 has many military advocates, especially among defense intellectuals who see it redefining modern warfare. What took 9,000 bombs to destroy in World War II, and 300 bombs in Vietnam, theoretically required only a single smart bomb in the Gulf War. In the next war, with precise targeting abilities and nonlethal weapons, they ask whether we need a bomb at all. These boosters see nonlethal armaments as part of the transition from industrial-era wars of direct-fire attrition to information-age wars in which the emphasis is on paralyzing the adversary, not necessarily destroying him. Rather than replace artillery and explosives, the new nonlethal weaponry would be mixed into the old arsenal. For instance, a 40mm laser cartridge has been developed to fit into a standard grenade launcher, Milton Finger, director of the Advanced Conventional Weapons program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, predicts that nonlethal weapons will become "an important adjunct to the common instruments of war." "They're all real," says retired Army Lt.Gen. Richard Trefry, a former military assistant to President Bush and a fan of nonlethality. "But you're bordering on classified stuff here." To figure out how to use the new weapons, the Army's Training and Doctrine Command in September circulated to the military's top commanders a 34-page draft statement on nonlethal weapons. "A wide range of disabling measures, technologies and applications now exists," it states. "This was not true 10 years ago. "One major reason they do exist now is that about a decade ago, John Alexander began thinking about them. An Army Special Forces veteran of Vietnam, he led ethnic Cambodian irregulars in the Mekong Delta. He went on to study near-death experiences with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. Then in 1980 he published an article in Military Review magazine about "the new mental battlefield," which he said could involve telepathy or weapons that interferred with the brain's own electrical activity. That caught the attention of two senior Army generals, who encouraged him to pursue what were then called "softkill' technologies. In 1988, Col. Alexander left the military and joined Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he is attached to the special technologies group. Meanwhile, his interest in parapsychology led him to collaborate on a book on mind-training techniques with Janet Morris, a science-fiction writer interested in counterterrorism. She enlisted Ray Cline, a well-connected former deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency, who was able to open doors at the White House and Pentagon. "A U.S. lead in nonlethal technologies will increase our options and reinforce our position in the post- Cold War world, "Paul Wolfowitz, under secretary of defense for policy, wrote to Defense Secretary Dick Cheney after the Gulf War. "Our R&D efforts must be increased." Roach Motel - A Pentagon strategy group called together after the war was entranced by the possibilities. One lesson of the Gulf War Page 3 was that U.S. high technology worked; another was that global media coverage could quickly turn heavy casualties, even among the adversary, into a political issue. By using technology to reduce casualties, Nonlethality heeds both lessons. The strategists envisioned that in a subsequent crisis, nonlethal weapons could first be used in concert with economic sanctions. For example, roads leading into an embargoed nation could be dusted with crystallizing powder that would destroy truck tires. Fuel tankers going into the area could be clandestinely treated with a microbe that jellifies gasoline. Aircraft runways in the area could be closed by spraying them with super-sticky "Roach Motel" polymers. Railroad tracks could be rendered useless by super-slick antitraction polymers and lubricants. Bridges could be quietly weakened with supercaustic acids so that refugees could cross, but not trucks. People moving into restricted zones, such as border crossings, could be trapped by quick-setting "hard" foam, or deterred from entering by acoustic generators that could be fine-tuned to be anything from mildly irritating to organ-bursting. As the hypothetical crisis escalated, the Pentagon strategists dreamed, other nonlethal weapons could come into play. What, they asked, if the U.S. could pre-emptively disable the other side's "trump card" weapons? Secret low-orbit satellites could neutralize the launch sites of a state threatening chemical or nuclear blackmail, or even pulse out the electronic triggers on those weapons. Meanwhile, Special Forces operators could daub aircraft wings with embrittling chemicals, while drone aircraft could cripple enemy weapons by spraying them with metal-eating microbes. If war did occur, potent microwaves could be deployed to detonate enemy ammunition dumps before the munitions could be used. Enemy communications could be fried by microwaves or by small pulses produced by non-nuclear devices. Enemy troops might be greeted with lasers that blinded their targeting devices. Their tanks and personnel carriers might stall as they hit clouds of combustion inhibitors and short-circuiting metal fibers. Then the nonlethal weapons designed to affect people might be deployed. "The anti-personnel stuff is extremely desirable but extremely difficult," says retired Col. Alexander, the Los Alamos specialist. Among the concerns: Some applications might violate treaties governing war practices. In addition, notes Harvard biochemist Matthew Meselson, nonlethal tactics, especially those involving chemicals, could escalate into lethal ones. Notwithstanding these worries, anti-personnel nonlethal devices are being researched intensively. Lawrence Livermore lists a half-dozen potential ways of temporarily incapacitating combatants, such as dazzling them with lasers, putting them to sleep with calmative chemicals and even confusing them with holographic projections in the clouds above them - perhaps images of Muslim martyrs telling them to go home. Some research is spilling into the civilian sector, too. Page 4 The Justice Department's research arm is piggybacking several projects and expects within a few years to test foam and light immobilizers for use against everything from ordinary domestic disturbances to prison riots. Repairing the Damage - In military use, a big advantage of nonlethal weaponry comes after the shooting and pulsing is over. Reconstruction would be far easier if, say, electrical infrastructure could be restored by replacing a few blown-out switches and wires. "Say there's a war in Korea," says one Air Force bomber pilot. "You want it won, but the day the war's over, you want to reunify them,and not have to spend five years rebuilding it." The Pentagon's nonlethal study group came away so enthusiastic that it not only recommended a major push into nonlethal weapons, but also suggested that President Bush announce a public initiative akin to President Reagan's unveiling of his Strategic Defense Initiative, or "Star Wars." That idea drew fire. Taking nonlethality public "would have the effect of spurring our adversaries to look into this," says one Pentagon policy maker. Other experts thought that a presidential declaration might make further development prone to political meddling. So Pentagon policymakers decided to intensify the nonlethality effort but do it even more secretly than previously. They also seem to have cut out Janet Morris and Ray Cline, who were perceived within the Pentagon as meddlesome and uncontrollable outsiders. To make nonlethality even less visible, policy makers decreed that it henceforth would be referredto as "disabling systems" technologies. But the next time the U.S. goes to war, it almost certainly will deploy some kinds of nonlethal weapons. It may well face them, too. By the end of this century, Prof. Wolbarsht predicts in a new book, laser weapons "will find their way into armies all over the world. "Nonlethal Weapons: A Selection -Taken from "Operations Concept for Disabling Measures (Draft)," U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, September 1992. Laser Weapons: "Resembling conventional rifles, low-energy laser rifles withpower packs can flash-blind people and disable optical and infrared systemsused for target acquisition, tracking, night vision and range finding. "Infrasound: "Very low frequency sound generators could be tuned to incapacitate humans, causing disorientation, nausea, vomiting, or bowel spasms. The effect ceases as soon as the generator is turned off, with no lingering physical or enviornmental damage." Supercaustics: "Supercaustics can be millions of times more caustic than hydofluoric acid. A round that delivers jellied superacids could destroy the optics of heavily armored vehicles, penetrate vision blocks or glass, or be employed to silently destroy key weapons systems or components." Antitraction Technology: "Using airborne delivery systems or human agents, we can spread or spray Teflon-type, environmentally neutral, lubricants on railroad tracks, grades, ramps, runways, even stairs and equipment, potentially denying their use for a substantial Page period, because such lubricants are costly and time-consuming to remove." Roach Motels: "Polymer adhesives, delivered by air or selectively on the ground, can 'glue' equipmentin place and keep it from operating." Combustion Alteration: "Internal combustion engines can be disrupted through special chemical compounds. These chemical compounds would temporarily contaminate fuel or change its viscosity to degrade engine function." Computer Virus Technology: "This technology focuses on computer systems which control fire support systems, data transmission, fire control systems, avionics, etc. It involves the covert intrusion of a computer virus, logic bomb, or worm which may remain hidden until the system is used or meets specific parameters." -------------------------------------------------------------------- (ADDED NOTE from Walter Bartoo/Kortron of Spirit BBS) So there you have it! Does this make mush out of some of the scientific skeptics on this echo? I hope so, because this post is but a fraction of what is going on and posted to inform those not yet aware that things are far beyond what most consider reality. Also in the banned book Operation Mind Control, our secret governments war against its own people. W.H. Bowart claims in the seventies that it was possible to control people from cradle to grave. Sound outragious? Well folks welcome to the new age because it is taking place unbeknownst to everyone. This statement is just my opinion after going through a huge amount of constant incoming info that makes me think its happening. If you want more proof. Here is a source. Julianne Mckinney, Director Electronics Surveillance Project Ass. Of National Security Alumni. Silver Spring, Maryland. 20911-3625 Phone: (301) 608-0143 Julianne and I had an hour long conversation on these topics and she stated she was once an Army intelligence officer that was under this type mind control. Her story needs telling and she is fighting this type control and is in a growing effort to educate the public. She needs your help and you hers if you are under any of this type control and its influence. She presently helps over fifty six individuals who are under this debilitating influence. Hope this post opens some eyes and adds some creditability to our newsletter here at Orvotron. Peace and Love Walter (Kortron). --Glenda Stocks - via ParaNet node 1:104/422UUCP: !scicom!paranet!
