Sunshine Project vs. US Maximum Pain
cobalt123 10:57h

Reprinting some of this alarming story from the online New Scientist because it needs to become widely-known. If this weapon development contract can become known through the FOIA (US Freedom of Information Act) releases, think of what is NOT available to public knowledge. "Freedom is on the march" but not for long if they are deemed rioters or perhaps other protesters who are peaceful yet inconvenient, let alone "insurgents".

Received this story through my browsing of furl today. I notice that it has not hit mainstream US media.In furl an archive copy is saved of the webpage, and I've saved also a text copy. You know, just in case there is a sudden disappearance of the story.

The US military is funding development of a weapon that delivers a bout of excruciating pain from up to 2 kilometres away. Intended for use against rioters, it is meant to leave victims unharmed. But pain researchers are furious that work aimed at controlling pain has been used to develop a weapon. And they fear that the technology will be used for torture.
What we are talking about here is the use of plasma and lasers. This is waaaay beyond the effects of the sanctioned use of stun guns like Tasers. The title of the research at the University of Florida is "Sensory consequences of electromagnetic pulses emitted by laser induced plasmas".Read this whole story and weep for another chapter in the turning of America to the Dark Side.
