Effectiveness of Aluminium Foil Helmets

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.

I have a tinfoil hat for sale - hardly used.

Remember kids- the shiny side goes out!

This is one of the funniest posts ever! Any true crackpot knows you want a lead helmet. Why do you think the gov't outlawed lead-based paint? Because it stopped the radio waves from penetrating your house, stupid.

I have better offers...

Two for one sale. Also have a family special. Single sales price is normally 57 cents, but for a limited time only they are just $57,000.00

Anyone crazy enough to believe the tin hat stuff may be crazy enough to pay the price.

Refutation.

And they missed the most effective style of all:

Everyone knows Aluminum doesn’t work – only tin. Why do you think tinfoil is no longer available?

[sauropod]

This is funny.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

That was good.

shoot - i did a search i swear - double postings are a pet peeve (pet freep?) of mine

[TC Rider]

There is a rebuttal to the MIT Study HERE

[MagnoliaB]

LOL! Have they done a study on tin foil underware?

[LambSlave]

This is one of the funniest replies ever... you owe me a keyboard!!

[beelzepug]

Me, I favor the quilted foil. More effective at scattering the waves.

[RhoTheta]

Interdimensional ping.

Combine that story with this one, if you really want to freak people out:

This is just a government troll post to get us to stop using our foil hats.

Now we know where they get the tin-foil hats...

How'd you know I was a government troll?

Foiled again!!

[Clemenza]

I prefer Meat Helmets myself

Idiots. You don't put it on your head. You line your underwear with it to protect your precious bodily fluids.

Not so fast. This may be like all those studies funded by Hershey that say you'll die without eating chocolate. I find a number of factors present in this study that would confound any meaningful analysis of effective countermeasure to government mind-control.

To wit:

Professor Neil Gershenfeld - his lab equipment was used in this study. He is the director of the Center for Bits and Atoms, which receives a substantial amount of government funding. Given this, and the highly suspicious link between this topic and the huge government interest in his research on Personal Area Networks (a more DIRECT signal-to-human interface), there is ample motive and opportunity for the equipment to be "miscalibrated" prior to commencement of this study.

Professor George Sergiadis - his specialization in MRI imaging techniques and his research into the use of selective excitation pulses for MR tagging makes him a perfect candidate for developing MRI antennas that deliberately filter out evidence of government implants. Since he provided the antenna for this study, I strongly suspect that it was designed to operate in a manner to conceal actual government signal strengths.

Reynolds Aluminum - When creating an aluminum foil helmet, everyone knows that you need to use aluminum from a company who needs to make their money from ALUMINUM. Even assuming that 1.2-1.4Ghz represents the likely 'mind-control frequencies' (which is also suspect) Reynolds is likely subsidized by the government to produce aluminum unsuitable for foil helmet construction - their complicity is further evidenced by the amount of fluoride pollution they create (see http://fluoridealert.org/akwesasne4.htm) and we all know that the government uses fluoride to contaminate our "precious bodily fluids" to better control our minds.

FCC Frequency - if the aluminum has NOT been rendered ineffective in some way, then it is worth noting that the observed 20 db attenutation at the 1.5 Ghz frequency may not be insignificant. The FCC assigns the 1.435-1.525Ghz range to "MOBILE (aeronautical telemetry)". It is a well-known fact that this is the frequency range within which the gov't. remote controlled black helicopters operate, and these are used to set up mind-control network "hot spots". Additionally, the 1.525-1.559 Ghz range is devoted to "MOBILE-SATELLITE (space-to-Earth)". This seems a likely range for broadcasting the larger "mind-control" carrier signal from high altitude.

In short, major flaws in the controls placed on this study suggest a government-initiated disinformation campaign to discourage the use of foil helmets. It's time to get Bo Gritz on the case.
