Mind-bending ‘psychotronic’ guns that can effectively turn people into zombies have been given the go-ahead by Russian president Vladimir Putin.
The futuristic weapons – which will attack the central nervous system of their victims – are being developed by the country’s scientists.
They could be used against Russia’s enemies and, perhaps, its own dissidents by the end of the decade.
Sources in Moscow say Mr Putin has described the guns, which use electromagnetic radiation like that found in microwave ovens, as ‘entirely new instruments for achieving political and strategic goals’.
Research into electromagnetic weapons has been secretly carried out in the US and Russia since the Fifties. But now it appears Mr Putin has stolen a march on the Americans. Precise details of the Russian gun have not been revealed. However, previous research has shown that low-frequency waves or beams can affect brain cells, alter psychological states and make it possible to transmit suggestions and commands directly into someone’s thought processes.
High doses of microwaves can damage the functioning of internal organs, control behaviour or even drive victims to suicide. Anatoly Tsyganok, head of the Military Forecasting Centre in Moscow, said: ‘This is a highly serious weapon.

we in the west have already developed such a weapon.
Ours is electronic, based on powerful beams located on high towers. It operates on many frequencies simultaneously, and can turn citizens into zombies, and even impact their thoughts and actions.
We call it Television.
No, Obama was the man behind the green curtain. His voters were the test subjects.
We have Jersey Shore.
Are they sure they want to use something like that?
I could see it backfiring on them ... the law of unintended consequences.
I thought this was about that weapon that turns professional tennis players into Scottsman.
Wow, just think. If they are successful, Putin will be able to do in seconds what takes the American Public Education System at least ten years to do.
Wait for it..
You could be showing your age about the Monty Python space ray that transforms Englishmen into Scotsmen for the purpose of winning the Wimbledon Cup against the gigantic alien tennis playing blancmange.
My G-d, these Russians will try anything and believe anything. Don’t they know that the ultra low frequency energy focused G.I. emitter aka the `crapcannon’ will disorganize any enraged mob and send them frantically off to the portajohns?
“In these times I’d be scared s***less except that I’m laughing too hard!”
3 simple words......Inverse Square Law.
Makes non coherent energy weapons difficult
at best, impossible under most real world
conditions.
The ability to literally project “voices in the head” over a distance approaching miles has been around since the Clinton era. I remember thinking then that it sounded tailor made more for driving political dissidents crazy than for any other purpose. I suppose it could also be used to destabilize known susceptible individuals as well. There are apparently a number of disturbing tools available for PsyOps now, but given the nature of that, there’s always a lot of static and disinformation so it’s easily dismissed as tinfoil. Honest, accurate assessment of capabilities would not be a realistic expectation.
Maybe they already have! ;)
You think thats bad? Remember the last Indiana Jones movie? The Russians were looking for a mass brain wave machine to manipulate and control people.
I heard some time back that it could have been a project with some limited success, and that it was used in America to get Obama elected.
“That’s what you get drying your hair in the
microwave.” Thank you very much for my first lol of the day!
High power microwave weapon research has been carried out since the early 1980s at least.
There is an amusing book by an EE called something like, “How I Turned a Microwave Oven Into a Death Ray”.
He set plywood on fire at 500 feet, IIRC.
Don’t try this at home. The sidelobes and backscatter can fry your brain in seconds.
The voices in the head thing is real too.
Freepers, you must understand that there is an entire hidden world out there with both bad guys and good guys participating. The MSM publishes rumors decades after weapon systems have been fielded.
I think that important people such as Rush should have a bodyguard with an RF detector at their side 24X7.
Yep, LRAD, “Voice Of Allah,” whatever it’s called now, debuted in Desert Storm. Those freaked out Iraqis surrendering en masse in the very early phases had a little nudge.
