A Voice Only You Can Hear: DARPA's Sonic Projector (this is from 2007).

Imagine a weapon that creates sound that only you can hear. Science fiction? No, this is one area that has a very solid basis in reality. The Air Force has experimented with microwaves that create sounds in people's head (which they've called a possible psychological warfare tool), and American Technologies can "beam" sounds to specific targets with their patented HyperSound (and yes, I've heard/seen them demonstrate the speakers, and they are shockingly effective).

Now the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is jumping on the bandwagon with their new "Sonic Projector" program:

The goal of the Sonic Projector program is to provide Special Forces with a method of surreptitious audio communication at distances over 1 km. Sonic Projector technology is based on the non-linear interaction of sound in air translating an ultrasonic signal into audible sound. The Sonic Projector will be designed to be a man-deployable system, using high power acoustic transducer technology and signal processing algorithms which result in no, or unintelligible, sound everywhere but at the intended target. The Sonic Projector system could be used to conceal communications for special operations forces and hostage rescue missions, and to disrupt enemy activities.

This hearing of voices in one's head also reminds us of Julian Jaynes' The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind in which he theorized that ancient people where not conscious as we are today and actually heard (in their right frontal lobe) and acted on the voices of "gods" (much like myths in ancient Greek literature).

When that Frisiello dude was named, I looked at all of his 529 facebook friends and 4/5 were identified as academics working in schools, all levels, and I thought: this is a huge Antifa hive.

DO YOU THINK ANTIFA WAS GROWN ORGANICALLY?
Purpose?
Watch the news this week.
Q

I don’t know exactly how zero grew antifa im his OFA petri dish, but I can spot/smell them a mile away.
