    as someone who literally builds directed energy weapons, you absolutely *cannot* see the lasers as they propagate through the air… which is actually a huge safety concern while working with them in the lab. we had an incident where a steering lens failed & the beam ended up hitting the lab wall instead of going into the beam dump, and we didn’t know anything was wrong until the wall f*cking exploded. also, the color of what you’re hitting doesn’t matter NEARLY as much as the material it’s made out of. you put a blue piece of paper and a red piece of paper in front of a DE weapon, they’re both gonna catch on fire just the same 😂 there’s so many other things which I could say to disprove this conspiracy, but people who believe this shit tend to not appreciate actual ✨facts✨ so I won’t bother 😂

      Right so that doesn't preclude DEW being used in Maui which they were. Evidence? How about cars in parking lots away from combustible materials have their steel and aluminum melted completely pooling in puddles of solidified metal The amount of energy to melt most of the metal in a car is not something that a car in a parking lot will encounter.

      ⁠​⁠@@jpslaym0936this has been disproven…. And has happened in plenty of places during wildfires, California and Aussie in 2018 for example. Fires get hot, like 800C on the low end, so way higher than the melting point of even pure aluminium which isn’t what’s used in cars anyway. A lot of those photos are doctored, not of the Maui fires or deliberately misleading.

    • @derekstein6193
      @derekstein6193 Před 6 měsíci +44

      A fun little side note:
      The sheer amount of atmosphere between a DEW in low orbit of Terra and its surface would absorb and scatter so much of the energy beam that you would need a dedicated, high-yield nuclear power plant attached to the DEW satellite just to supply enough power to ignite a piece of paper at sea level.
      Physics is a cruel bitch.

    On UFO vs UAP, UFO implies that it's an actual object that's flying, like a balloon, alien spaceship or duck. UAP acknowledges that many of the weird things being reported could also be non-objects like glints of light on the windshield, a reflection of the moon viewed through some haze, etc.

You cant just "stick something in medicine" when no one is looking. Batch records are must corroborate the processing and raw materials of vaccines as well as finished product in various temperature stress conditions (stability testing) Vaccines by leveraging the incredible power of our immune system makes it the most important human invention in history if you measure it by amount of people protected/prevented from death, and amount of pain and suffering precluded 100s of millions of humans saved from horrible deaths thru this technology

    One of my favorite all time conspiracy stories was the FEMA death camp thing. If you dig into it the kernal of trueth was an appropriations bill that awarded the Halliburton group a contract to expand several US military bases to acccomidate a displaced civilian population in the event of a natural disaster. That was sparked after the Katrina debacle, so for a brief moment of time the US legislative body came together to actually do something about it. Several subcontractors were awarded specific portions of the contract, and at some point someone linked that construction contract with a farmer's field who was basically leasing a part of his unused land to a company that builds coffin liners (not actual coffins, but the liners to prevent the coffins from breaking up too fast in wetlands regions.). That was then also linked to a line from the X files movie that stated that FEMA had the ability to suspend the constitution (Surprise, they don't, and in fact after the movie came out they've had to hold numerous press conferences confirming that they do not, nor ever did, have the ability to suspend the constitution.).

The microwave definitely not(fun fact they are NOT shielded. You get the same dose the food does if your standing outside it... although it's safeish heh...). But I'm almost positive wrapping it in to foil completely will block, I think your wifi. But supposition here.

    Nice content. I've always felt compelled to pursue the greatest interests of mankind, to wit. A way to be influential, powerful and protected. always felt the need to be recognized wherever i go, not because i am proud or clamorous but because of who i am and what i represent. The inner me is gasping to find out more knowledge about the human race and about the things that not everyone is destined to know. I wish to blossom into the enlightenment that our forebears wanted so desperately for us to gain.

      well i think your feeling is kinda understandable, it's really just you being human. If you really seek enlightenment you can achieve that and so much more by joining the Illuminatus Brotherhood. I know it sounds mythical, but there are a lot of ways you can actually get in

      oh really? is it even possible to become a member? i always thought it's meant for certain people in the upper class.

      yeah that's intentional, i mean that's what they actually want you to think. if you need to get more illuminated on the subject, look up Anthony Roger Szymon. Will help you get more clarity and answers.

    Dear editor (Jen?),
    Just wanted to inform you that the "Daddy, chill" at 4:06 made me spit out my drink.
    That's all,
    Thanks
