RF radiation affects tissues differently from, say, infrared or X-ray radiation. For example, the Active Denial System (at 95 Ghz) acts on water just beneath the surface of the skin because the extremely high frequency RF vibrates electric dipoles more quickly. A microwave oven's RF (2.45 Ghz) penetrates a couple of inches. 30 Mhz RF, of the type that doctors use to deep heat body tissue, penetrates all the way through.

The bottom line is that we have environmental hazards which have not existed except for the last 50 years in a very long evolutionary history. The upper atmosphere filters out most of the kinds of RF that we now willingly bombard ourselves with. There's very little data one way or the other. The fact that the cellphone companies are resisting even the tiniest concession to consumer demands for more information suggests that the cellphone companies are afraid of that information. Maybe they know something you don't.

You're wrong. Shielding which is effective against high frequency electric fields can also be effective against high frequency magnetic fields. The changing magnetic field induces eddy currents in the shielding which creates opposing magnetic fields, shaping and directing the intruding magnetic field.

Lower magnetic fields can also be shaped with high permeability materials.

Here is a helpful link which explains the issues surrounding electric/magnetic shielding in more detail.

There's some evidence that high frequency noise or high frequency RF has biological effects even if it's non-ionizing. For example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_pest_control

"A 2002 study by Genesis Laboratories Inc. does lend some credence to the ability of electronic repellent devices to repel certain pests in controlled environments. Preliminary study of white-footed mice behavior in the test apparatus demonstrated a significant preference for the non-activated chamber among both sexes."

Also, how do you think your microwave oven works? It uses dielectric heating to rapidly vibrate (and thereby heat) the water molecules in food. Guess what - dielectric heating works on you too, and there is no cut-off range; even low frequency RF has some dielectric heating effect on the water and some body tissues.

And dielectric heating can cause cataracts.

Just throwing some actual facts into this discussion.

The purpose of such clothing is not to afford the wearer absolute protection or provide a cloak of invulnerability, as it were. The purpose is to neutralize the weaponry - which is intended to inflict invisible pain on the recipient. If induction heating causes the shirt to burst into flames, the pain is no longer invisible. That sort of thing doesn't look good for the cameras.

The article says iron-laced ink or paint. So, actually, if you were in a building with conductive paint coating the walls, your eyes would be protected too.

Here's how to create microwave-resistant clothing.

To control something, you have to watch it.

It's not just about 'bad guys'. It's about the web of control you get sucked into.

I don't have secret knowledge about the government. I just have personal experience with stuff that most people don't believe exists. And there are quite a few others in my boat. This experience is a form of 'secret knowledge', perhaps, but unlike secret knowledge it can't be transfered because until you share my experiences, you can't really understand it.

Patiently trying to explain to you and other readers, who haven't experienced what I and others like me have experienced, what's really going on... well, that'll blow what tiny scraps of credibility I've managed to accumulate in this thread.

There will be developments in the coming months that will be cause for me to post more information about this program, because the public's awareness will be broadened. Slashdot hasn't seen the last of me. (Is that a threat, or a promise? Cue the Slashdot laugh track...)

I guess this is another one of those techie witticisms I was warned about before I posted here.

I do have good news for a few people on this thread. The targeting isn't random. It either happens to you because you cross the wrong person - and that doesn't happen when you spend 24/7 futzing with computers at work or at home and eating cheetos - or because you're ex-military and you get selected for experimentation, or because you're beholden to no one and unusually gifted.

I've been browsing selected comment histories and I think I can safely say, you're not going to be targeted under this program as it's being run right now.

So go back to sleep.

If your government turned into a dictatorship, would there be an announcement to that effect in the papers or on TV? Why would they do that, when it is so much more effective to convince everyone they're still free, and get their enthusiastic cooperation for free? The handful (actually more than a handful) of dissidents and other troublemakers who want true freedom can be targeted.

If there were armed soldiers following your politicians everywhere they went with guns to their heads as they signed papers, you'd immediately recognize it as a military dictatorship. But what if the guns are several hundred or thousand miles away, and the gunshot is invisible? What if heart attacks or strokes can be induced electronically at will, and the only consideration is whether the target will comply with the implied threat, and if not, whether the target can be killed with deniability? Would that fit your definition of a military dictatorship?

When Dick Cheney had his well publicized heart problems in office, maybe you should revisit what message was really being sent. Maybe the people who order Dick Cheney around like an errand boy were telling the world, "If Dick died on the operating table, nobody would question it. His life is in our hands. We own him."

Maybe the government doesn't work the way you think it does. Maybe your leaders aren't in control and can't possibly be in control. Maybe the smart ones understand this, and decide to make the best of a bad situation by selling out.

That's all I'm prepared to say today. There's a lot more to the high tech persecution/torture/blackmail/murder angle than I've alluded to here.

I'm not getting this from the media. I'm getting it from real life - my life.

This stuff is happening here in America, and it has historical precedent in East Germany's Stasi, who used police informants and citizen's watch groups for Gang Stalking, as well as covert microwaves for torturing and killing targets. In addition, similar tactics were used and exposed in America decades ago - read up on COINTELPRO. Wikipedia has an executive summary in its COINTELPRO page in the "methods" section.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to pull this stuff off. The tactics come from a big book that most targeted individuals that I've communicated with are highly familiar with. Many policemen are also being manipulated, unwittingly, in this program. Again, read up on COINTELPRO, the tactic I mentioned in passing is only one of many the FBI used in that decades old program, and they've gotten more advanced in their tactics since then.

But this is off-topic for this article, anyway, since the topic is warrantless wiretapping, not Stasi-like Gang Stalking. However, there is a new high tech component to the Gang Stalking that didn't exist in East Germany, it's the stuff I was saying above that Slashdotters wouldn't be able to comprehend. It's something I can't talk about yet in the presence of non-targeted individuals (*especially* young techies who think they know everything), but it's going to come out a lot sooner than these guys think.

The neighborhood watch meetings don't operate that way. What will happen is someone trusted, an authority figure like a policeman or a fireman, maybe several such people, will show up and say something like: "This person is dangerous, we haven't caught him yet, we don't have the manpower to track him, so we want you to follow him everywhere. Let him know he's being followed." That last sentence falls under the category of conspicuous surveillance which is a deliberately engineered intimidation tactic.

The authority figure(s) may present convincing evidence, which is often fabricated or exaggerated. In addition, what the neighborhood watch members don't know is that the target is being covertly harassed by police informants, in an attempt to get him to act out, or to confirm what the police are saying. For example, if the police accuse the target of being a sex offender who hasn't gotten caught yet, female police informants will show up everywhere in the target's path dressed wildly inappropriately to get the target to look. The neighborhood watch member observing this will conclude there's something to the accusations.

It takes a lot of effort to build up the momentum for Gang Stalking of a single individual, a lot of setups like the one I just described. But it's possible because practically everyone involved (neighborhood watch members, police informants) have been tricked or manipulated into working for free. The neighborhood watch members are volunteers. The police informants have to do whatever their case officers tell them to, for free, or go to prison.

There's much more to the ground forces than this, but it's way off-topic for this story, so I'll save it for later.

As for the high tech component of the persecution and torture campaign, it's interesting that you mention tinfoil hats. That is the kind of comment I was warned about before deciding to post here. Just FYI, I'm quite sophisticated enough to know that tinfoil hats do very little to protect against the kinds of things targeted individuals are concerned about. People who have been targeted in the US are a cross-section of America, and unfortunately the majority of Americans are scientifically illiterate. However, don't make the mistake of placing me in that category.

This program is going to come out much sooner than Russ Tice would like, and it's going to be big, but it's probably not going to happen as a result of what I post today. There are people working behind the scenes to expose this; unfortunately you're not going to find accurate information about what's being done on the web. A lot of people who speak up about this are, as I've said, scientifically uninformed, and thus they post nonsense. I'm doing my part by trying to reduce the amount of nonsense out there.

I'm not concerned about posting anonymously. I've already been targeted. What are they going to do... double-target me? My concern is about stepping into the public eye before the time is right.

A lot of the time, peer to peer encryption is like using an armored car to transfer stuff between two homeless bums.

How secure is your call if the other guy is on speakerphone?

How secure is your call if a satellite is using advanced signal processing techniques to pick up the sounds you hear from your headphones? You might say, "Well, nobody would bother to do that," but what do you really know about the capabilities of satellite surveillance platforms? Just how easy is it, in the year 2009, to zero in on whatever phone headset you happen to be using? You might be surprised when the answers are eventually revealed... though you might have to wait a while, until everyone involved in these covert spying operations is retired or dead.

You'd realize the "controversy" over the NSA's gathering of Americans' telephone call information is a tempest in a teapot.

What's really going on, this program of which Russell Tice of the NSA said, "there's no way the programs I want to talk to Congress about should be public ever, unless maybe in 200 years they want to declassify them. You should never learn about it; no one at the Times should ever learn about these things..." makes their warrantless wiretapping of journalists look like innocent fun.

I have personal experience with what's really going on, but I can't talk about it, especially on this site full of technically sophisticated users, because guys like you are arrogantly certain you know everything, and the stuff I know about falls outside your area of expertise.

The corporations have won. The politicians are all in their pockets, and neighborhood watches and police informants are tricked into Gang Stalking any potential opposition at the street level, with the help of this 'program' Russ Tice refers to. It's an invisible holocaust which you won't believe in until you get sucked into it.
