...might interest you to know that, in writing scripts for M*A*S*H, Jim Fritzell and I used several events that actually happened to me or my friends on Majuro, e.g., Hawkeye being arrested and confined to his tent; a high-ranking officer going berserk; Radar sending stateside for a pair of elevated shoes. I envy those 150 Americans living there...
...trip with impunity: the needle-nosed SR-71 (for strategic reconnaissance), a 12-ton aircraft that travels three times the speed of sound at more than 85,000 ft. Armed with electronic "spoofing" gadgetry capable of disrupting enemy tracking systems and even wiping its own image off a radar scope, the plane is nicknamed "Blackbird" for its sooty heat-resistant paint job. The world's highest-flying and fastest manned airplane, the SR-71 can travel more than 2,000 m.p.h. Though the U.S. has honored Eisenhower's promise, in 1967, as Communist Chinese nuclear technicians triggered their...
...These "microwaves" are very intense concentrations, "short-waves" of electromagnetic radiation focused into an intense beam. They travel through matter, can be reflected by electrical conductors, and can be directed accurately. Thus, microwaves revolutionized communication. They are responsible for television communications, radio (especially FM) broadcasts, CB radio, satellite communication, radar, sonar, and electric garage-door openers...
...addition to the mind-control applications, microwaves are being harnessed for what Brodeur dubs "total electronic warfare." Both the United States and the USSR are rapidly learning how to use microwaves to inflict severe burns on humans, as well as refining their surveillance, radar and rocket-jamming techniques. The microwave race spirals endlessly, leaking more radiation into the environment and into our bodies...
Should not the residents of Truro and North Truro insist that the Air Force operate its radars in a way to avoid irradiating the land mass around the station? And finally, these thousands of people should be joined by millions of Americans who live and work in the vicinity of radar stations, radio transmitters, and television transmitters all across the nation. Only in this way can the hazards described in this book be addressed, and the zapping of America, which now proceeds unabated, be brought under control...
