Directed-Energy Weapons: A Neuroscientist Explains the Threat

Directed Energy Weapons Explained

• 💡 Directed-energy weapons (DEWs) are advanced technologies that can disrupt brain networks, with potential uses both domestically and internationally.
• 🎯 These weapons encompass sonic devices and scalable microwaves that can precisely target and cause neurological damage.

Mechanisms of DEW Attacks

• 🧠 Hollow spaces in the skull, such as the mouth, nose, ears, and eye sockets, can act as echochambers, funneling energy waves into the brain.
• 📱 Rapidly pulsed microwaves can damage brain cells similarly to how placing a phone in a microwave for a short time would structurally alter it, causing durable and progressive changes.
• ⚡ DEW attacks fundamentally disrupt the brain network, leading to brain cell death and impairing the functional ability of cells and nodes vital for thought, emotion, and behavior.

Long-Term Consequences of DEW Exposure

• 💥 The initial insult from a DEW attack is just the beginning, leading to a cascade of effects as the brain's ability to compensate is impaired.
• ⚠️ Symptoms can include early-onset Parkinson's disease, indicating long-term neurological damage from these attacks.

Global Development and Use of DEWs

• 🌍 The United States, China, and Russia are identified as the major global powers that have developed these advanced weapon technologies.
• 🔍 Investigative journalist Catherine Herridge has reported on the use of DEWs against US government personnel, linking them to incidents like Havana Syndrome.
• 🏥 Reports include interviews with individuals in assisted living facilities who are young but have reportedly been affected by these weapons.
