"NON-LETHALITY"—THE FUTURE OF WARFARE Morehouse's new book is called Non-Lethal Weapons: War Without Death. According to Morehouse, "...conventional weaponry is designed to kill. The new hybrid conventional weaponry is designed to maim. Non-lethal weaponry, by this def- inition, must be anti-materiel and not anti-personnel. "The book takes a very philosophical approach to the concept of non-lethality. It talks about what conventional weapons have done in this century: taken 170 million innocent human beings’ lives. Doctors, lawyers, professors, housewives, children, not warriors—80 million of them were summarily executed for their refusal to participate, and that number continues to grow exponen- tially. Less than 250,000 of those lives were taken through nuclear weapons. "In the post-Cold War era, the military-industrial complex has spent an inordinate amount of time on the disarmament and aboli- tion of the nuclear arsenal, unscrewing five nuclear warheads so we can pat ourselves on the back and say what a great job we did, while in the meantime we spent US$900 billion-plus last year to build and market weapons of death and destruction. So it's a shell "They stood there, men who knew, and baldfaced lied to us and said it never happened. General Powell went before Congress and fervently denied that he had any knowledge of it or that he had any evidence of it, which is again ‘plausible denial’ because nobody briefed him on it. "The CIA was keeping track of all the wind charts pertaining to this theatre of operations. Let me tell you something. In 18 years in the military, I never once turned to the CIA for a weather report. So why is the CIA telling us that the downwind messages showed this and this? Are we so stupid that we can't see that these guys are concerned about what's going to be revealed in time, that they've jumped in to level the playing fields? They're in there BS-ing and lying right and left, day in day out." Antony Sutton is unequivocal in praise of Morehouse and his book. He writes that, "Psychic Warrior is one book that you should read. Not only will it open your eyes to the strange new technology we outlined, but it will make you disgusted with a Pentagon whose main interest appears to be to keep its Washington generals in luxury and golf courses, while it can't keep its planes in the air.

Morehouse continues with his analysis, saying that the book "Every time there was a civil disturbance, these sniper teams "\.takes 12 truly non-lethal technologies and it templates them were deployed and were given encrypted orders that told them over fictional scenarios that contemplate current world events— who and what.
