FOIA: Navy Secretly Conducting Electromagnetic Warfare Training on Washington Roads

[Ichingcarpenter]

Without public notification of any kind, the US Navy has secretly been conducting electromagnetic warfare testing and training on public roads in western Washington State for more than five years.

An email thread between the Navy and the US Forest Service between 2010 and 2012, recently obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by Oregon-based author and activist Carol Van Strum in November 2014, revealed that the Navy has likely been driving mobile electromagnetic warfare emitters and conducting electromagnetic warfare training in the Olympic National Forest and on public roads on Washington's Olympic Peninsula since 2010.

In one of the 2012 emails, Navy contractor Gerald Sodano explained that the Navy "utilized EW [electronic warfare] ranges outside the local vicinity." But he went on to say that the aim of establishing an electromagnetic warfare range on the Olympic Peninsula would be to conduct all training locally on the Olympic Peninsula, rather than further afield. This means that rather than using expansive training areas the Navy already has access to in Yakima in eastern Washington State, the Navy aims to use the Olympic National Forest and areas adjacent to Olympic National Park instead.

"What the Navy is doing we have no idea because they don't tell us."
As Truthout previously reported, the Navy itself has produced a medical study showing that exposure to electromagnetic radiation causes a myriad of human health problems, including corneal damage, tubular degeneration of testicles, brain heating, sterility, altered penile function, death, cranial nerve disorders, seizures, convulsions, depression, insomnia, chest pain, and even sparking between dental fillings.

Other reports by the US Air Force, NASA, medical doctors and scientific publications confirm these and other deleterious health effects that would result from the Navy's electromagnetic weaponry arsenal, in addition to large-scale negative impacts on birds, aquatic life and other biota..........

2. Dr Pall addresses US Navy documents

Published on May 12, 2015
Dr Pall addresses US Navy documents on potential electromagnetic radiation health effects for humans and animals in the Olympic National Forest, the Navy will deploy 2 fixed and 12 mobile emitters in in/around the Olympic Forest area as early as Sept 2015.

Martin Pall is Professor of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences at Washington State University. He has been investigating the causes of unexplained illnesses including chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, and multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) for the past decade.

Tks Iching.

I loved what he said at the end about believing he couldn't be shocked anymore and yet he is shocked again!

4. Using a magnet, researchers remotely control brain circuitry, alter behavior.

report Monday in the Scientific journal

Nature/ Neuroscience


“This is, to our knowledge, the first demonstration of bona fide magnetic control of the nervous system,” the authors, led by biomedical scientist Ali Güler at the University of Virginia, concluded.

[Major Nikon]

54. ...

[caraher]

63. Not terribly relevant here

unless you've been genetically modified.

They basically engineered organisms to be responsive to the fields:

To pull off the magnetic mental yanking, Güler and colleagues engineered a magnet-responsive ion channel. In brain cells, ion channels are key to building up electrical charges responsible for zapping signals through neural circuitry. The researchers did some genetic surgery on an ion channel known to be responsive to mechanical pressure, called TRPV4. The researchers fused the gene for TRPV4 to a gene for an iron-hoarding protein called ferritin, which is slightly responsive to external magnets (paramagnetic).

With a few more genetic tweaks, the resulting hybrid protein, dubbed Magneto, proved to be viable and responsive to magnetic fields in cells. When the researchers moved a magnet near the cells carrying the hybrid, Magneto jerked, opening the ion channel. This caused an influx of ions into the cells, sparking an electrical change that could fire off brain signals.

[Ichingcarpenter]

29. You have not looked at scientific evidence

I have provided have you?

[Major Nikon]

39. If you have something that says lightbulbs don't produce EMR

I'm pretty sure it isn't very "scientific".

[Ichingcarpenter]

42. So you refuse to read ?

[Major Nikon]

50. No

I'm not sure you can say the same

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. Don't bring science into this. Just don't. nt

[Major Nikon]

25. Not really

Just every object in the universe that's above absolute zero. Beyond that, not much.

[backscatter712]

76. Yeah, I'm skeptical of this article.

EM radiation, in terms of what the article is talking about, refers to electronic warfare and jamming.

In short, it's radio. The .mil is practicing trying to send communications signals and radar beams around, and also trying to jam said signals, or trying to burn through the jamming.

The military is playing with radio. If you're a civie, it's not going to hurt you. It may scramble your reception if you're listening to a radio station or something.

The danger only applies if you're really damned close to one of their EM emitters. And I mean standing directly in front of the dish, say six feet from it. Microwaves are also EM, just high-frequency radio. You can use microwaves to cook food, or to send signals, or to detect aircraft & stuff using radio reflections (radar), or jam the above.

The power of a radio emission is inversely proportionate to the distance, squared. If you stick your head in a microwave oven, it'll get cooked. If you're standing six feet away, even with the door open, and the oven still running, you're fine. Civies in this exercise are going to be thousands of feet away, and most likely many miles away from EM emitters. They'll be fine.

I've been a fan of Truthout, but this article strikes me as being totally silly.

[Major Nikon]

80. It's obvious those promoting this are utterly clueless about EMR

Evidently a radar simulator is actually a no-shit secret government vast conspiracy for mind control. At least one of them is a "reality-based" believer in chemtrails and if you think that's funny, YOU are part of the conspiracy.

Flint has recently been home to military maneuvers -- nothing related to setting up clean water, either.

Army calls cease fire on military exercises that rattled Flint

by Ron Fonger
MLive on June 11, 2015 at 10:22 AM

FLINT, MI -- At ease, Flint.

Those hovering military helicopters and explosions that came with special U.S. Army training around the city this month are over.

"The U.S. Army concluded its training in areas of southeastern Michigan, Wednesday, June 10, 2015," a statement from the Army says. "The purpose of the routine training was to ensure the U.S. Army's ability to operate in urban environments for upcoming overseas deployments.

"The U.S. Army must be able to operate in every possible environment and sustain proficiency on every piece of equipment it may be required to use in combat. This training is directed at ensuring we are prepared 24 hours a day to support our nation and its mission."

Flint was one of multiple locations for the training, which came as a surprise to city residents, who were not warned about the exercises, including loud explosions, before they started.

City spokesman Jason Lorenz later apologized for the communication breakdown.

Yeah. So, no matter what the authorities say, secret government is un-democratic as all hell.

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. We need to trust our military because?????

There is no oversight or even a response to the people's concern in Washington state.

Actually this story goes deeper when you look at what they are doing with their jets.

SCIENTIST ARE CONCERNED!!

[Octafish]

11. I think some think We the People gave up civilian control of the military on Nov. 22, 1963.

Pentagon has certainly acted that way cough CIA. We know Wall Street on the Potomac does.

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. We know that there is Corporate control ofcertain areas of DOD

When its corporate then the FOIA doesn't work.
It was a very clever move by them, which enabled them
to maintain their deep state.

I imagine that the Navy doesn't really know WTF how and why it works.......The Tech doesn't come from them
They don't have the scientists like the defense industry.



Which is why there has been no real audit of that beast.

The Navy does some really bad shit just look at their
Sonar experiments killing whales. They always had a rivalry with other agencies trying to be relevant so ego gets involved with rational thought on what's good for this planet.

THE DEEP STATE IS REAL AND NOT AN ILLUSION or a 'so called conspiracy'

[bobthedrummer]

32. Copy that, Sir. n/t

[gladium et scutum]

79. We the people have never had control of the Military.

Article II section 2 of the Constitution of the United States, makes that clear.

[Octafish]

82. If that's what you think, great. It's not what the Constitution says, though.

SECTION 2

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Oh, I think I get it, now. Perhaps you think the President is an officer of the military, not a civilian elected to office?

I think I know why some think he can't he be an enlisted man.

[gladium et scutum]

83. The President of the United States

is not an officer of the military. There is no constitutional requirement to have any military experience, officer or enlisted. Hence Presidents Clinton, Obama or Wilson are equally qualified for the office as Ike, JFK, or LBJ. He does not have to refer military decisions to "the people" for affirmation of his orders. He is the Commander and Chief, per the Constitution.

Beltway driving.

[yellowcanine]

19. Okay wrong Washington.

[hack89]

13. A lot of anti-science woo here

what they are doing is driving around with devices that mimic radar emitters like you would find on a battle field. They are not particularly powerful, are directional so they are not indiscriminate, are not on for long periods and they direct their energy into the air.

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. Bullshit

you give no links, no science studies, no scientist
like I did

So Bullshit.

[hack89]

16. There is a squadron of EA-18Gs flying out of Whidbey Island

they are the aircraft being trained. Their job on the battlefield is to find and destroy radars - especially mobile ones.

This is an old issue. We hashed it out here a long time ago.

[hack89]

41. No. I have simply read all the publicly available documentation.

I am familiar with the EA-18G from my time in the Navy. Finding and localizing radars is their job.

The web site that hosts it is a literal treasure trove of dumbfuckery that brought me to tears.

Using mind control technology, the experimenters knew what I was thinking and feeling. I filed a court case in 1968 and it stated, "...a brain device at San Quentin is being used upon him to alter or destroy his brain." and "The machine emitted electromagnetic waves which stimulated petitioners brain." They could communicate directly with my mind. At one point, they kept me awake for twenty-seven days and nights.

Dr. Schmidt, the chief psychiatrist of San Quentin later told me that they had used a M.I.N.D. device or magnetic integrated neuron duplicator on me as well as General Erwin Walker. Walker was the target of a missed gunshot by Oswald at the time of the JFK murder. General Walker, like myself was known for his strong political opinions.

I think that the goal of the behavior experiments performed on myself and General Walker were to develop the computer-brain technology for political purposes and as an intelligence tool. They used pavlovian conditioning with negative psychological stimulus, and in this way, they can change your behavior. For example, my political views would be degraded all day long for days on end.
