Pentagon demos latest weapon to battle free speech: A raygun

Pentagon Tests Raygun On Mock Anti-War Protesters

The Pentagon proudly displayed what it has in store for anti-war protesters last night during a CBS 60 minutes feature which depicted the use of the army’s “Active Denial System” against peace demonstrators at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia.

The Active Denial System is a giant raygun that directs a sizzling hot beam at its target, causing instant pain and forcing the subject(s) to disperse.

Similar to the Taser, the machine acts as a form of pain compliance or torture. It was designed in secret for 10 years before being unveiled in 2001.

The CBS clip alarmingly shows mock American peace protesters being targeted by the device.

The CBS report fails to mention the fact that the device was already mobilized and place on stand-by to combat protesters during the 2004 National Republican Convention in New York City, as is documented in Alex Jones’ film Martial Law 9/11: Rise of the Police State. </em>

Your tax dollars at work folks.
