How Can You Tell When the Media is Lying to You?

Contrasting Burning Man Madness to the Maui Op

Zerohedge is running a story which has some traction about Burning Man being shut down. I’ve been doing some research on it.

The first thing I do whenever I see a media fearmongering tale is try to find any social media from anyone who appears to be in the area where it is happening. I’m looking for recent pictures and videos, which is sometimes a bit easier for me to spot if I’ve physically been on the ground to that location before. I’ll check DOT traffic cameras and local hospital statistics if they’re relevant.

I’ve never been to Burning Man. I had an invite many years ago but it sounded too expensive and corporate for me by that point. I did notice the degree to which people have a scheudenfreud about the potential deaths and inconvenience to what is largely regarded as the tech bros priviledged laptop class at the event.

I don’t know any of them and I hope they are all well. I have found it odd that they call Burning Man a “Survivalist” Event though. If I really want to go in survivalist mode, the absolute last thing I am going to do is drive on a lonely highway 11 hours from any major towns or cities, out in the absolute middle of nowhere open in the desert, with no significant populations for a few hundred miles in any direction, to then congregate with 70,000 other people. I mean my first survivalist things to do would be to look for running year round water sources and scouting out a site to build my shelter and I’d almost certainly prefer the cover of forest. That’s just me. It might work for the zombie apocalypse I guess, presuming all 70,000 in the camp are not infected and you don’t run out of water. But Black Rock City is not somewhere I’d put a town.

Panic seems a little excessive of a word thus far. Now if it continues raining and they run out of food and more importantly water they might have some major problems. But it actually sounds cooler this year than most. It’s like the lack of programming forced the community to come together more. The last guy even has quite the sense of humor about what assholes they are viewed as:

I think I’ll play at home thanks it’s raining here in Phuket right now! On this meme though I have no drugs, no ski goggles, no thermostat, no friend’s wife, no sand, no closet…and who is Rufus Du Sol? I do have a fan though:

Now Las Vegas did indeed have a torrential downpour which led to flash flooding in the desert. My Mom told me she had never seen it downpour that much in her 20 years there. Thankfully she had made it back from her errands by that point. They got more rain from that than they did from Tropical Storm Hilary. Be safe out there!

Moving on to the Maui Op, however, that one is still haunting me. This video is not from somebody on the ground in Maui. But I’ve had it’s a small world after all from Disneyland (yes I’ve been on the ride) playing through my head for some days now, and fittingly it is from a former schoolteacher and homesteader in Southeastern Louisiana who went through Hurricane Katrina. My hat is off to her for digging into that Maui DOE clip. I didn’t know they had a boarding school on the island affiliated with the public schools, but any parents who shell out $59,000 per year for a boarding school on Maui for their kids have some money. Those kids all got evacuated safely. How strange:

There’s probably a word for the boarding school kids getting evacuated by bus while the poor local kids went…wherever they went. I think it’s called foreknowledge.

It is clear that they will continue to use these directed energy weapons at will whenever the motives of enough powerful people align. I believe that World War 3 may well have been launched on September 11, 2001. That mass deception and potential weapons of war used for that event, as well as the multi trillion dollar heist and the crushing of American civil liberties, set the stage for the Covid Op. Of course the forever wars that were launched also gave the evil ones a perfect place to test out new weapons of mass destruction.

Consider this exchange regarding Star Wars in Iraq where he admitted that about $500 million per year was being spent on the development of directed energy weapons. This was from 2007:

William Arkin For thousands of years, the way in which you have killed someone is you have hit them with a sword, a sphere, an arrow, a bullet, a bomb. It’s kinetic, you’re killing them by hitting them. And now, all of the sudden, out of nowhere, you have a completely new physical principle being applied in killing people, in which they don’t know that they’re being killed because their skin and body is being heated by high power microwaves or they are being hit by a laser that would have an instantaneous effect.

There are other types of weapons made with lasers, such as the device we can see in this sequence. The target is not hit by a projectile, but rather by an impulse of energy that manages to bore through the armor of an armored car. Excluding acoustic weapons, for the moment, the only sign of the use of energy weapons in a war scenario is a laser device known as Zeus. According to official Pentagon sources, military vehicles equipped with this laser device have been used in Afghanistan to explode mines. According to two reliable military information sites – Defense Tech and Defence Industry Daily – at least three such vehicles are being used in Iraq as well and some people report having seen them.

Geert Van Moorter When you showed me the picture of what you described that is a laser weapon, it reminded me that I was talking with some American soldiers, in August 2003, and there was some kind of box on their tank with a blue light like this. I recall it very well not because they said me what it was used for, but because I was teasing a translator, which was an Iraqi female, by telling her “look, with this kind of thing they can look through and see somebody without clothes”. That’s why I remind it, but I have seen for sure this kind of thing on that tank.

William Arkin is one of the American experts who follows the Pentagon activity most closely. So what does Arkin think about the possibility of the use of directed energy weapons in battle in Iraq?

William Arkin You know, there’s even some possibility that high power microwaves have been used experimentally. I think that the panic about IEDs, about Improvised Explosives Devices, has been so bad that if these things are sitting in the lab, I’m sure that they want to get them to Iraq to see whether they are effective. So I can imagine that there could be some, what we call, “black” use of these weapons, but not in any significant way, and certainly not in such a way that one would conclude that they’ve had any impact.

But let’s look at the Pentagon budget figures to see how important the outlay is for directed energy weapons.

William Arkin Right now you have about $50 million a year being spent for non-lethal weapons, you have about another $200 million or so being spent on High Power Microwaves, Active Denial type Systems, you’ve got probably another $100-200 million being spent on “secret”, “black” laser programs, and then you have the big lasers, the High Energy Lasers of the Air force and the other Tactical Lasers. So probably, when you add all of that up, you know the United States are probably spending $½ billion a year right now on directed energy weapons. This is a significant amount of money; this is the size of the Defence Budget of some countries in Europe.

You might think that energy weapons only pose a danger for the countries involved in a military conflict, but that’s not the case. One particular weapon called the Active Denial System – better known as the pain ray – has been built specifically for use in maintaining public order. Given its claim to be non-lethal and the suffering it produces, this weapon could become a very controversial one.

Retired Colonel John B. Alexander The Active Denial System is a Millimetre Wave System, operates at about 93 GHz. It sends out a beam for a very long distance, and what’s important about it is that when it hits the skin it penetrates only a very slight, for a few millimetres under the skin and it it’s the pain receptors and causes, you know, people to be adverse to the pain. It hurts, it hurts a lot.

The tests that had been run they were to go for 3 seconds, each individual was given a kill switch and nobody made 3 seconds. The answer to the pain is extremely rapid, and you don’t have to do it very long, I mean, it gets your attention instantly.

I asked Jim Davidson here on Substack if any satellites would have the capability to target people or property on Earth. This was his response:

It would be in violation of various international treaties against weapons of mass destruction in orbit, but yes. Keep in mind that the orbit need not be circular. It could be highly elliptical and come within as little as 60 nautical miles altitude at closest approach if they only took it close for part of one orbit. The discharge would help redirect the next orbit but they would want considerable station keeping fuel to modify the orbits as needed.

Several systems that would be powerful enough have been launched on classified missions in the last six years, making elementary assumptions about mass and power.

That’s quite depressing as it has become blatantly obvious that international treaties are meaningless to the corrupt New World Order. I’m more trying to determine the weapons capabilities and limitations. I probably need some STEM types on it because I’m well out of my depth on such things. But before the AI enabled satellite decides to just fry the world to cinders so we all bow to Bill Gates in the afterlife or something, it’s important that some people in the know can be Blade Runners.

On that note I saw this interesting update regarding the MauiFires thread I continue to follow. Some ex military supposedly arrested police for treason for blocking aid to residents:

The revolution will not be televised…but you might catch hints of it on social media. Let’s pray we all get out of this period alive…
