The Active Denial System: Non-lethal Crowd Control or Evil Torture Machine
Sunday, July 4th, 2010The Active Denial System is a non-lethal crowd control device that has recently gotten a great deal of press. It is produced by Raytheon, primarily for the US military but with versions under development for law enforcement.
It has also become the subject of a huge number of conspiracy theories. Here are just a few:

The rational for the Active Denial System:
The US military, like many militarizes around the world has found itself engaged in more and more complex peacekeeping and policing actions. In areas like Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq, military activity is not limited to traditional battlefields, but rather involves security and policing of urban areas with large civilian populations. Some of the greatest dangers and most difficult situations arise when crowds of civilians are involved.
A suicide bomber could easily hide in a mob of otherwise unarmed persons and even an unarmed crowd can potentially block movement of vehicles or endanger soldiers and civilians. A heated protest can easily erupt into a riot. Maintaining order in these type of situations has always been an extreme challenge. The use of deadly force would undoubtedly work, but would be considered unacceptable in all but the most extreme situations. Even well armed soldiers can find themselves cornered by a large group of angry civilians, and in such situations, they are faced with the limited options of doing nothing or using deadly force.
This problem has existed for both the military and police forces for decades and to this end, a number of non-lethal methods of dispersing crowds or suppressing entry to areas have been developed. Some of the most common ones include the following:


There is also no explanation given for why there appears to be no coloration at all between cell phone coverage or signal strength and colony collapse. While colony collapse has been observed in rural areas of the United States (where cell service ranges from fair to poor) it has not been seen in parts of Asia that have extreme density of mobile base stations. In Europe, CCD appears to be limited primarily to southern portions of the continent. The UK, Sweden and other countries have seen only sporadic and mild to moderate cases of CCD. This despite the fact that their mobile coverage is at least as good (or better than) that found in the rural US or other areas where CCD has been at its worst.
Of course, most rational people realize that these things happen. Earthquakes have caused damage and loss of life since antiquity and Haiti is located right near the boundary of the small Caribbean plate – a seismically active area. The fact of the matter is that places like this experience earthquakes and when these quakes are severe enough and occur close enough to human settlement, they can be disastrous. It was well known that Haiti lacked the kind of construction and infrastructure that can hold up to an earthquake, but as the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, there wasn’t much they could do about that. This wasn’t the first time this kind of thing has happened and it won’t be the last.
Their weapon for causing the quake? HAARP, of course!
