Directed Energy Weapons

Jon Ludwigson discusses our April 2023 report on Directed Energy Weapons. DOD spends about $1 billion annually on directed energy—concentrated electromagnetic energy—weapons, including high energy lasers and high powered microwaves. DOD has pursued these potentially transformative technologies for decades because they could provide considerable advantages. They can deliver destructive or disruptive effects to targets at the speed of light and have potentially significant advantages over kinetic weapons, such as guns and missiles, including lower per-use cost.

The timing of this video is very suspect considering what just happened in Maui. The evil of this government knows no bounds.

[johannes]

This is what they used to start the fires in Hawaii this week.

DEWs are working absolutely fine. Maui and Canada are the perfect examples. Well done US army 😊😊

[michaelachuter]

[Jet-okqm]

The comments make me proud. Yall are thinking and using your brains God gave you.

[truthseeker]

They sprayed the area heavily with aluminum and barium the day before (chemtrails). Which is very flammable

[Christ_Is_King]

Makes you wonder about Greece, and all the other freak wildfires in recent years. I knew about the development of these weapons years ago, they don't release the knowledge of these things untill they have been thoroughly tried and tested.

[IAspie-og]

We already know that these weapons are finished and are being used.

[bethanyhutchison]

This was used in Maui. Look at all the evidence. Cars burned from the inside out which only this could do. Not a wildfire.

[nubiandoll]

Now I know what caused the Hawaii wildfires…

[svnfiv]

If this is impressive Imagine the stuff they not showing you.

[MissErikaHeart]

Will you be holding the government accountable for using DEW on Maui the other day?

[nunabizness]

this is what was used to vaporize Hawaii and the fires in california like the Paradice fires

[JamminWithKapu]

So about 100 years after getting his plans you guys finally are publicizing that you made Teslas death ray

[MN-iolv]

These were definitely used to ignite “wild fires” all at the same time!

[joshualapointe]

US Government “Accountability “ office 😭

[KB-sfnt]
