WEAPONS OF THE FUTURE ATTACK THE -* Earlier this year, The Sun- Herald newspaper conducted a survey of 500 adults on their views on life in Australia and the world in the 21st century. Although the survey results in themselves were interesting, I found the questions that were asked just as intriguing. There were the predictable questions such as "will science find a cure for AIDS in the 21st century", and similar for cancer or the common cold; but they also threw in questions such as: "Will there be a one world government ruling the entire planet?" (83% said no); "Will beings who live on other planets make contact with us?" (68% said no); "Will there be a one worldwide reli- gion?" (91% said no); "Will there be a second coming of Jesus Christ?" (81% said no, but in the same poll conducted in the USA, 53% said yes).

A growing number of researchers are now convinced that the US employed ‘mind control’ weapons during certain phases of the Gulf War. Some of these new hi-tech super-weapons utilise the effects of radio-frequency waves upon the brain. (For more information on brain- wave entrainment, please refer to NEXUS, Vol. 2, No. 6.) A recent issue of Aviation Week and Space Technology has revealed that the US Defense Department is modifying some missiles to carry devices capable of generating electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) to stun an enemy without deliv- ering lethal force. This type of weapon is primarily designed to burn up the electronic equipment of an enemy.

These weapons have an esti- mated effectiveness range of at least 2,500 kilometres (1,600 miles). In addition to these devices, the Pentagon is also studying the use of materials that can be used to make air- fields so sticky they would be inopera- ble, or devices that could solidify the fuel supplies of an enemy.

Other devices include infrasonic gen- erators, which produce ELF (Extremely NEXUS readers (hopefully) are aware that the slaughter of several hun- dred thousand Iraqis on the pretext of ‘saving democracy’ in Kuwait was basi- cally a war to protect certain oil compa- nies' interests in the Middle East. Now some international aid agencies have expressed concern that the Somalian ‘invasion’ by the Bush admin- istration was more connected to oil than charity. While US officials in Mogadishu and Nairobi angrily deny the claims, there is no disputing the fact that four of America's biggest oil companies, Conoco, Amoco, Chevron and Philips, hold exclusive exploration rights to about two-thirds of Somalia. These deals were made with the for- mer dictator, Mohammed Siad Barre, who was ousted in a January 1991 coup, and could well be rescinded by a new government.
