5 Secret We@pons Of The US (No One Knows About) - Page 3
2. Long Range Accoustic Devices
A new type of crowd control we@pon came
to the fore during the Ferguson, Missouri, protests of 2014. As an active
demonstration of the newfound capabilities of an increasingly milit@rized
American police state, countermeasures employed by the Ferguson
Police Department to quell civil unrest included the use of LRAD sound cannons.
Capable of
projecting voice commands over a distance of 9 kilometers (5.5 mi), a Long
Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) inflicts grievous bodily p@in upon anyone within
100 meters (330 ft) of its sound path. LRAD manufacturers are careful to call
their products “devices” rather than “weapons” for public relations reasons.
But anyone who has endured the effects of an LRAD is well aware of the
difference between the truth and the spin.
Just ask the US diplomats stationed in
Cuba who recently started losing their hearing. Soon after the detente between
the United States and Cuba that transpired in 2015, diplomats deployed to the
newly reopened US embassy on this Caribbean island nation started reporting a
sudden and permanent loss of hearing.[2]
US investigators concluded that the
diplomats had been hit with an advanced and unnamed acoustic device that
doesn’t make any audible sound but causes irreparable damage to the ears and
brain of anyone in its path. This incident was considered so serious that the
United States expelled two Cuban diplomats from their embassy in Washington.
However, the exact
nature of this LRAD-like device and the identity of the agents responsible for
its use on American officials are still unknown. If a sonic weapon was indeed
used on US diplomats in Cuba, this would be an unprecedented incident in the
history of international relations.
