The following was taken from the Monday, January 4, 1993, "Wall
|
|
Street Journal" entitled

"Nonlethal Arms, New Class of Weapons Could Incapacitate
|
|
Foe Yet Limit Casualties - Military Sees Role for Lasers,
|
|
Electromagnetic Pulses, OtherHigh-Tech Tricks - Sticky Roads,
|
|
Stalled Tanks",
|
|
by Thomas B. 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.

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.
|
|

|
|
|
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

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

|
|
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
|
|

a computer virus, logic bomb, or worm which may remain hidden until

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.
