On the Effectiveness of Aluminium Foil Helmets: An Empirical Study

[flowomo]

must read for all DUer's:

http://people.csail.mit.edu/rahimi/helmet/



abstract: Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We theorize that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.

1. HILARIOUS for all you science nerds out there!

Good find Flowomo!

2. Thanks for the laugh

:D

[ThoughtCriminal]

4. OK new theory

The government WANTS US TO WEAR ALUMINUM FOIL HATS!

All of the conspiracies are just red-herrings to make us wear foil headwear - which actually AMPLIFIES the mind control signals!

:tinfoilhat:

"It requires no stretch of the imagination to conclude that the current helmet craze is likely to have been propagated by the Government, possibly with the involvement of the FCC. We hope this report will encourage the paranoid community to develop improved helmet designs to avoid falling prey to these shortcomings."

5. See? TFH's are government disinformation

I've been saying it all along, but no one listened. Oh, no.

Some even laughed, yes they did

Well, they're not laughing now, are they?

Are they?

[flowomo]

7. Muhahahahahahaha....

no, I'm not laughing. :)

[Mind_your_head]

6. Really funny!

Conclusion:
The helmets amplify frequency bands that coincide with those allocated to the US government between 1.2 Ghz and 1.4 Ghz. According to the FCC, These bands are supposedly reserved for ''radio location'' (ie, GPS), and other communications with satellites (see, for example, <3>). The 2.6 Ghz band coincides with mobile phone technology. Though not affiliated by government, these bands are at the hands of multinational corporations.

It requires no stretch of the imagination to conclude that the current helmet craze is likely to have been propagated by the Government, possibly with the involvement of the FCC. We hope this report will encourage the paranoid community to develop improved helmet designs to avoid falling prey to these shortcomings.

8. I agree...great stuff!

10. destined for the Research Forum

11. thank you, thank you....

for posting this. I couldn't help but send it to all my relatives and like-minded antigovernment conspirators.... they must be warned....

[babylonsister]

12. Too funny! I wonder if that hat has been patented? nt

13. I Just Love A Tin-Foil Hat Debunking Story About Tin-Foil Hats

It's diabolical, really.

[texpatriot2004]

14. LOL Funny, you're funny. nm

[ReadTomPaine]

15. "Aluminum Helmets" - LOL!

Love it :)

[Lerkfish]

16. reminds me: on another political board, when I warned of neocon influence

in the current administration, years ago, they accused me of wearing a tinfoil hat, and they posted a picture from "Signs" where Mel Gibson is sitting with the two children wearing tinfoil hats.

I responded "Interesting choice. Those kids were wearing tinfoil hats because they felt their house was being invaded by aliens. Turns out, their house was being invaded by aliens. Also turns out, neocons have undue influence in this administration."

[DarkTirade]

17. And SOME of us were smart enough to have been saying that for YEARS now.

Jeez. I mean, it's obvious. Mind rays + aluminum foil = marriage.

[Wordie]

18. LOL...very funny, very well-done!

19. Morans. They forgot the grounding clips.

20. This should be moved to the 9/11 Forum...

...where might do some good...

23. Each mighty Oak tree was once...

a nut that held it's ground!

24. Well, then, there's a forest in the making there....

27. rofl --

:rofl:

I've not actually been to the 9/11 forum and I don't cotton to posts that are wild speculation (uneducated guesses) or to posts that are purposefully incendiary -- meant to panic people or to get them to believe something based on emotion alone. Still, I think it is important to have 'safe spaces' in which it is okay to say what you think, even if it is far out.

I'm living this in terms of the theft of Election 2004 - I've read reams of material and done my best to sort wheat from chaff and believe that it was stolen (on what scale I am not certain) - but I am still dismissed by people who I think should be at least keeping an open mind.

33. Dr. Steven Jones, BYU Physics Prof

calls for a new (and international) investigation of the collapse of the
twin towers.

http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,635160132,00.html

He feels that the explosives hypothesis is suggested by the available
data and the official story does no add up.

36. Thanks petgoat - I am keeping my mind open and have not

spent an adequate amount of time reading about 9/11. I thank you for holding your ground -- :hi:

[IndyOp]

21. This should really have been posted in

the DU Science Forum -- it is, after all, an MIT publication.

:bounce:

[flowomo]

22. feel free to cross-post where applicable....

esp. the 9/11 forum.

[skids]

26. It was.

But it failed to get recs from there. Because everyone spends all their time in GD/GDP/Lounge, probably because they haven't figured out how to use "my forums" to give them easy links to topics of their particular interests.

[flowomo]

29. hey, that spinning guy....

is that from Superman? The one with Planet Houston?

[skids]

30. Yes. It is Zod. After the impeachment and war crimes trial.

Kneel before him. http://www.zod2008.com/

I'm told I'm a dead ringer. Though younger.

[flowomo]

31. you spin like that?

watched that movie a brazilian times with my kids when they were young. "Planet Hoooo-stun."

[skids]

32. Heheh. Only occasionally.

The chemicals necessary to acheive the "Phantom Zone" effect are not suitable for cronic use.

[BrewerJohn]

25. Yup. A good approximation of a parabolic reflector

for ground-bounce signals. Note that the wavelength of 1.2 GHz radiation is roughly 8 inches,
very close to the diameter of your typical Al hat.
The only real solution would be a Faraday cage.
Need I say... :tinfoilhat:

28. this post will be peer reviewed and we'll get back to you....

34. Holy SHIT, I know that guy!

My username is actually some piece of gibberish I got from one of his old websites.

37. gawd I love that

funny, funny, funny, an antenna, ha ha ha, who'd-a-thunk-it?
