The US Military’s 10 Alleged Secret Weapons
With the advancement of modern technology, the art of war has changed radically.
Yet one thing about war hasn’t changed. To win a war, it’s always necessary to keep your enemy in the dark about the true strength of your armies and the scope of your arsenal.
The most sensitive military information is only shared with a small group of people who can be expected to carry out the operation. As a result, the US government is unable to provide the people it is sworn to represent with full knowledge about its national security tools and strategies.
As a result, there may have been several occasions where war machines were produced and deployed without the consent of the American people (or the rest of the world). But what if the military-industrial complex’s foes grew into their own citizens as a result of their unwarranted power? What incredible mysteries of physical, psychological, chemical, and energetic warfare may be buried under the surface of public knowledge?
At least some details about the life and operating parameters of the ten weapons mentioned below have become widely known.
Nonetheless, their advancement raises the question of what other weapons of mass destruction could be hiding in the darkness, almost hidden from view?
1. HAARP
Hugo Chavez drew worldwide attention to the HAARP facility in Alaska after accusing the US Air Force of using the high-frequency transmitter array to trigger the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Only the most crazed of tinfoil haters had dared to throw suspicion on this United States Air Force research station up to this stage. When the Air Force revealed that the ionospheric research complex HAARP would be shutting its doors in 2014, theories about the sinister side were supposedly put to rest. However, after the University of Alaska Fairbanks reopened HAARP in 2017, the speculation was reignited (UAF).
To be honest, picking an artificially induced embodiment of a weather anomaly as their first experiment was obviously not the best PR move on UAF’s part. Many people took HAARP’s new custodians’ declaration that they intended to create a version of the aurora borealis in the skies over Alaska that was invisible to the human eye as evidence of the infamous research station’s weather-manipulating abilities.
Despite the fact that the HAARP network has been accused of weather manipulation and transmitting mind control messages, none of these allegations have been proven to be true or incorrect.
2. Project Thor
Project Thor is a technology developed by Jerry Pournelle in the 1950s that would obliterate enemies with bolts from above, potentially overshadowing the MOAB as the most deadly non-nuclear missile in the US arsenal. This form of Kinetic Energy Penetrator (KEP), also known as “rods from God,” would potentially consist of two satellites.
The first acts as an aiming hub, while the second is outfitted with 6-meter-long (20-foot) tungsten rods that will be placed on a target from orbit. Thor’s thunderbolts, capable of reaching hundreds of miles into the Earth’s crust, can do destruction comparable to a nuclear explosion without the fallout.
About the fact that the cost of delivering those rods into space is considered prohibitive, the reopening of Project Thor was seriously considered during the George W. Bush administration. With $21 trillion allegedly appropriated without permission by the Department of Defense and a few other departments, it’s difficult to know what potentially cost-prohibitive speculative ventures the US government is quietly bringing to fruition without the approval or agreement of the American people.
3. Flying Aircraft Carriers
The US Navy began investigating the military ability of airborne aircraft carriers in the late 1920s. The USS Akron and the USS Macon, both zeppelin-style airships with a crew of 60 men and the ability to deploy and recover Sparrowhawk fighter planes in flight, were designed. Both Navy flying aircraft carriers, though, met with tragic ends, and their wreckage now lies at the bottom of the sea.
However, reports have recently emerged that DARPA intends to restart this chapter in American history and launch a new effort to create airborne aircraft carriers for military use. Instead of manned warplanes, these new sky sentinels will be equipped with drones.
This bold DARPA plan, dubbed “Gremlins,” will have adapted C-130 air transports equipped with stealthy drones capable of breaching enemy defenses undetected.
Given DARPA’s history of revealing the planning phases of already-completed programs as soon as their mask is blown, it’s fair to suspect that “Gremlins” are already hovering over our heads. There might also be Avengers-style Air Force “Helicarriers” cruising the sky today, if the fanciful testimony of alleged secret space program informants like Corey Goode is to be believed.
4. Subliminal Messaging
Subliminal messaging is widely used in advertisements. This method of advertisement normally appeals to people’s baser instincts in order to get them to purchase a product or service.
But what if the same subliminal messaging values are being used by the US intelligence community for espionage or even mind control? The author of a previously classified CIA paper titled “The Operational Potential of Subliminal Perception” explains in great detail how to use the ideals of subliminal perception to convince someone to do something they wouldn’t normally do.
Though the document’s author concludes that subliminal perception’s organizational efficacy is “highly restricted,” the CIA is well known for its ability to operate within the strictures of drastic limits while still achieving its covert goals with flying colors.
5. Biological Weaponry
The US military tested biological agents on its own civilians without their knowledge or permission between 1949 and 1969. In 1950, a US Navy ship sprayed billions of tiny bacteria into the atmosphere over San Francisco, resulting in a major epidemic of disease and the possible death of one resident.
Another occurred in the New York City subway system in 1966, when researchers lowered light bulbs containing bacteria onto the tracks to see how far the train’s motion can take these potentially dangerous pathogens. Other tests included engulfing entire towns in a haze of zinc cadmium sulfide, ostensibly to provide a smoke scrubbing.
Much of this was undertaken, according to the military, to learn how to best shield us from external enemies, but many people question whether the advantages of such rash experimentation really outweigh the costs.
The introduction of toxic bacteria into the environment, on the other hand, may be the least of the biological dangers to which the American people have been subjected by their government.
In 2016, Director of the National Intelligence Agency James Clapper raised fear that gene editing technology could be misused to create a weapon of mass destruction if it falls into the wrong hands.
The science of gene editing has spread across the developed world, with little or no consideration given to the potentially catastrophic consequences of tinkering with the biosphere’s genetic makeup.
Although naturally occurring viruses are bad enough, genetic modification has opened the door to the possibility of secretly engineered biological weapons capable of wiping out whole national populations in an instant.
However, microbes endowed with superpowers by crazy scientists which pose less of a threat than other forms of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) released into the wild.
A consortium of about 300 scientists publicly dismissed the premise that there is a scientific consensus on the efficacy of GMOs for human use in 2013.
As a result of this comment, many restaurants and grocery stores, including Chipotle and Trader Joe’s, have outright banned GMOs from their kitchens and shelves.
About this, agribusiness companies continue to tamper with the genetic code of important crops like corn and soybeans, with the support of a legion of science journals and news outlets.
Yet, under the security of an arsenal of science magazines and news sources, agribusiness companies strive to change the genetic code of essential crops like corn and soybeans, claiming that GMOs pose no threat to the human body or the biosphere.
Monsanto and other agribusiness behemoths are heavily funded by the US government.
If GMOs are genuinely harmful to human health, the government’s ongoing dissemination of these unnatural species may be a clandestine extension of the government’s dangerous practice of exposing its citizens to biological weapons.
6. Magneto Hydrodynamic Explosive Munitions
The legendary science fiction author of the twentieth century, Arthur C. Clarke, imagines a futuristic missile that uses electromagnetism to launch a jet of molten metal miles into space, spearing and crushing an approaching battleship in his novel Earthlight.
This kind of armor-piercing weapon isn’t completely unknown.
Various weapons makers have been supplying combatants with self-forging penetrators (SFPs) since World War II.
SFPs launch themselves at an armored vehicle using a chemical explosion and a metal liner, then change form to penetrate the target.
Traditional SFPs, on the other hand, are inefficient and difficult to use, necessitating the development of a more powerful armor penetration tool.
The Magneto Hydrodynamic Explosive Munition is a specialized projectile produced by DARPA to fill this niche (MAHEM).
MAHEM is much more adaptable than a traditional SFP, using electromagnetism to shape and aim a continuous jet of molten metal at an armored target. It closely resembles the fictional weapon used in Earthlight.
Aside from these simple data, nothing is understood about this top-secret military effort.
The Nanjing University of Science and Technology in China, on the other hand, seems to have reverse engineered MAHEM for its own purposes.
The full information surrounding the construction and execution of this formidable tool, like many other facets of the shadowy battle for global domination currently being fought between the superpowers of the East and West, can never completely trickle into public consciousness.
7. Heart Attack Guns
Following the Watergate controversy in the early 1970s, Democratic Senator Frank Church chaired a committee tasked with investigating any CIA acts that could have breached the agency’s charter.
The Church Committee was formed to reveal the CIA’s nefarious conspiracy to the American people, which was thought to have accrued undue unilateral influence in the guise of the Cold War.
Though history suggests that the Church Committee’s efforts to curtail the CIA’s totalitarian zeal were largely unsuccessful in the long run, the 1975 inquiry yielded a few interesting results.
The so-called “Heart Attack Gun,” a transformed weapon capable of injecting a virtually undetectable but completely lethal dose of shellfish toxin into the body of a distant victim, was one such invention.
The darts shot by this silent device would potentially leave a pinprick the size of a mosquito bite and disappear nearly immediately in the body’s tissues after producing a payload so lethal that the victim would almost certainly suffer a heart attack within moments.
It’s unclear if the “Heart Attack Gun” was actually used, but it may still be in use today for all we know.
8. Low-Frequency Microwave Mind Control
The alleged sonic attacks on the US embassy in Cuba have reignited decades-old fears of a new kind of hidden weapon.
The Pentagon learned the Soviets were bombing the US embassy in Moscow with incredibly low-frequency (ELF) microwave radiation in 1965, at the height of the Cold War.
Although far too feeble to cook anything, it was decided that the so-called Soviet Signal had the potential to affect the embassy staff’s health or change their behavior.
Instead of doing something to combat it, the Pentagon wanted to study the signal’s possible consequences and try to replicate them at home.
DARPA, at the time a newly formed division of the Department of Defense, launched Project Pandora to study the impact of ELF microwave radiation on primates.
Despite the inconclusive findings, project leader Richard Cesaro remained adamant that ELF radiation posed a direct danger to the United States’ national security until Pandora’s disbandment in 1969.
The Pentagon never found out what the Soviets were up to at the American embassy, so they solved the problem by erecting an aluminum screen along the circumference of the compound, which served as a building’s equivalent of a tinfoil hat.
Despite the fact that DARPA declared the case against ELF radiation closed in 1969, tests have since shown that low-frequency microwave and radio waves can cause harm to the human body.
It’s also been shown that the signals released and absorbed from mobile phones have an effect on the working of the mind, which often manifests itself in sleep disturbance.
Invisible messages that keep us linked and informed are abundant in today’s world.
Yet how much do we actually understand about this all-pervasive radiation and how it impacts our wellbeing and even our thoughts?
9. Long Range Acoustic Devices
During the 2014 Ferguson, Missouri, riots, a new form of crowd control weapon came to light.
The use of LRAD sound cannons by the Ferguson Police Department to quell civil protests was an active example of the newfound powers of an increasingly militarized American police state.
A Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) is a device capable of transmitting voice commands over a distance of 5.5 miles (9 kilometers) and inflicting severe physical pain on someone within 330 feet (100 meters) of its sound line.
For public relations purposes, LRAD marketers like to refer to their goods as “devices” rather than “arms,” but anyone who has seen the results of an LRAD knows the difference between the reality and the spin.
Just ask the US diplomats posted in Cuba, who have recently begun to experience hearing loss.
Diplomats assigned to the recently reopened US embassy on this Caribbean island nation began experiencing a sudden and irreversible loss of hearing shortly after the detente between the US and Cuba in 2015.
The diplomats were struck with a sophisticated and unnamed acoustic instrument that makes no detectable sound but does irreversible damage to the ears and brain of everyone in its way, according to US investigators.
The event was deemed so extreme that two Cuban diplomats were removed from their embassy in Washington.
The precise existence of this LRAD-like gadget, as well as the identities of the agents who used it on American officials, remain unclear.
If a sonic bomb was used on American diplomats in Cuba, it will be a first in the history of foreign affairs.
10. Directed Energy Weapons
Archimedes, a Greek mathematician, may have been the first human to use a guided energy device over 2,000 years ago.
According to history, when the Roman admiral Marcellus pushed his ships out of bowshot range during the Roman conquest of Syracuse, Archimedes quickly built a hexagonal mirror.
Archimedes is said to have absorbed the Sun’s energy and projected it onto the ships, igniting them and causing them to sink in minutes.
In 2005, MIT students were able to replicate the result, but they noticed that their mirror could only effectively burn a stationary target.
Despite the fact that scientific understanding has improved significantly since Archimedes’ day, the basic technical fundamentals of guided energy weapon (DEW) technology have not changed.
By shooting an extremely focused beam of energy into a target, a DEW inflicts harm from afar.
Different types of DEWs fire different types of energy, but the high-energy laser is the most widely used type of guided energy device today (HEL).
DEWs are similar to the lasers used in science fiction films.
They shoot a soundless ray of energy that can incinerate a target from hundreds of miles away that is invisible at some frequencies.
HELs were developed by corporations like Lockheed Martin for missile defense and space warfare, but some claim they were planned for far more nefarious purposes.
During the Thomas Burn, which engulfed California in December 2017, several observers and analysts observed property destruction that exceeded all expectations about how a wildfire could act.
Despite the fact that wildfires spread through vegetation, whole blocks of houses were burnt to the ground while the nearby trees appeared unharmed.
In the lack of an official reason for this strange occurrence, several observers across California captured footage of rays of light falling from the sky as the fire burned across the state.
Given that HELs are usually fixed on the nose cones of planes, others have speculated that the Thomas Fire’s devastation was aided by guided energy weapons.
