Forget the tin foil hat: NSA-proof wallpaper could keep snoopers and 'doomsday' electromagnetic weapons at bay

Forget the tin foil hat: NSA-proof wallpaper could keep snoopers and 'doomsday' electromagnetic weapons at bay

  • New flexible material can block electronic emission
  • Blocks signals that could be used for cybersnooping
  • Can also block electromagnetic 'doomsday' weapons 
  • Could be used to protect drones flying in enemy territory 

It could be the ultimate armour against cyberwarfare.

A Utah firm has revealed a new, flexible material that can create a 'faraday cage' blocking all electronic transmissions.

The material could even be used as wallpaper to protect entire rooms.

WHAT IS THE DOOMSDAY WEAPON? 

EMP, or electromagnetic pulse weapons use missiles equipped with an electromagnetic pulse cannon.

This uses a super-powerful microwave oven to generate a concentrated beam of energy.

The energy causes voltage surges in electronic equipment, rendering them useless before surge protectors have the chance to react.

The aim is to destroy an enemy's command, control, communication and computing, surveillance and intelligence capabilities without hurting people or infrastructure.
Conductive Composites  has created a method to layer nickel on carbon to form a material that's light and mouldable like plastic yet can disperse energy like a traditional metal cage.

'Our materials integrate game-changing conductivity and shielding performance as part of a multifunctional materials system, while preserving the basic weight, cost, structural, environmental, and manufacturing performance advantages of composites and plastics,' the firm says.
Using the wallpaper would allow people to easily turn entire rooms into Faraday cages.
The 'Faraday cage' is named for the English scientist Michael Faraday, who discovered the principles behind electromagnetic shielding. 

It prevents electromagnetic radiation from penetrating its exterior, protecting whatever is inside from static, electromagnetic pulses, radio waves, and other electromagnetic phenomenon.

The material comes amid growing concern over the development of electromagnetic weapons that could knock out computers.

Controversial tech boss and presidential candidate John McAfee recently warned a 'doomsday' electronic weapon could wipe out 90% of Americans and urged politicians to is the number one threat facing the country.  

McAfee, who recently announced he is running in 2016, wrote in a blog for International Business Times: 'Experts agree that an all out cyber attack, beginning with an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack on our electronic infrastructure, would wipe out 90% of the human population of this country within two years of the attack.

The firm also makes a range of secure cases using the new material

'That means the death of 270 million people within 24 months after the attack.'

He claims that the country, and its leaders are unprepared - and warned that gun crime should not be the 'single issue' that decided votes.

'Our leaders are nearly all ill prepared for this near certain, not-too-distant event. 
'If I were forced to choose a single issue, this would obviously be the issue.'

From Ocean's Eleven to Star Trek, weapons that wipe out enemy electronics are a staple of science fiction films.

The missile is equipped with an electromagnetic pulse cannon. This uses a super-powerful microwave oven to generate a concentrated beam of energy. The energy causes voltage surges in electronic equipment, rendering them useless before surge protectors have the chance to react

For years, scientists have been attempting to create such a weapon as part of Champ, or the Counter-electronics High-powered microwave Advanced Missile Project.

Now, the US Air Force claims it has advanced the technology, and says it can deploy it using the stealthy Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile-Extended Range (JASSM).

WHAT IS A FARADAY CAGE? 

The 'Faraday cage' is named for the English scientist Michael Faraday, who discovered the principles behind electromagnetic shielding. 
When electromagnetic radiation or static electricity is applied to a hollow conductor, it is transmitted over the surface of the conductor—preventing it from passing through the conductor's interior. 
A Faraday cage prevents electromagnetic radiation from penetrating its exterior, protecting whatever is inside from static, electromagnetic pulses, radio waves, and other electromagnetic phenomenon.
In 2013, as the College of Cardinals convened to elect a new Pope, the Vatican's Sistine Chapel was converted into a Faraday cage so that news of the election couldn't leak out. 
There are fears a well targeted attack could knock out multiple power stations. 
'This technology marks a new era in modern-day warfare,' said Keith Coleman, CHAMP program manager for Boeing Phantom Works. 

'In the near future, this technology may be used to render an enemy's electronic and data systems useless even before the first troops or aircraft arrive.'

McAfee says this is a huge issue being ignored.

He hit out at President Obama's focus on gun control.

On 2 October, President Obama declared: 'Here's what you need to do: You have to make sure that anybody that you are voting for is on the right side of this issue.' 

If politicians oppose these measures, he continued, 'even if they're great on other stuff, you've got to vote against them.' 

McAfee said he was initially confused by the statement.

'Frantically searching again for my benzodiazepines, and certain that rabid squirrels would imminently emerge from my wristwatch and form a tribunal accusing me of crimes against humanity, a saving thought flashed into my mind: What if the president is right? Could this simplification be the salvation of this long-suffering nation?'

He claims antidepressents could be to blame for the gun control issues. 

'In the 1980s we saw the first wide scale use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (antidepressants), such as Prozac, Paxil and others.

'Hundreds of studies have shown that these antidepressants have side effects that include violent thoughts. 

'A few minutes of research will tell us that 8% of the US population is taking antidepressants, yet a known 30% of all mass murderers since 1980 were taking antidepressants, and it is highly suspected that the real number approaches 90% – a statistical anomaly of egregious proportions.'

'But it is much easier to disprove a cause (as we did with guns above) than it is to prove a cause.'

'In any case, the President's proposal – that we abandon the complex process of weighing the near infinite issues that are important to us, and to choose a single issue upon which we can direct the entire future of our society, may well, in the confusion of my simple mind, be the Holy Grail of politics. 

'But if it is then surely weighing the possible deaths of 90% of our citizens due to cyber warfare against gun violence which causes fewer deaths per year than traffic accidents, seems that possibly our president is suffering an acid flashback rather than myself.'

According to Foxtrot Alpha, the weapons are alsmost ready for use.

Once integrated into JASSM, Champ will be a 'first day of war' standoff weapon it claims.
Because it can be launched by both bombers and fighters, Lockheed's Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, or JASSM, is an ideal platform for Champ.

'The capability is real … and the technology can be available today,' said Major General Thomas Masiello, the Air Force Research Laboratory.

'That's an operational system already in our tactical air force'

In 2012, aircraft manufacturer Boeing successfully tested the weapon on a one-hour flight during which it knocked out the computers of an entire military compound.

During Boeing's experiment, the missile flew low over the Utah Test and Training Range, discharging electromagnetic pulses on to seven targets, permanently shutting down their electronics. 

Boeing said that the test was so successful even the camera recording it was disabled.
Although the project is shrouded in secrecy, experts believe the missile is equipped with an electromagnetic pulse cannon.

This uses a super-powerful microwave oven to generate a concentrated beam of energy which causes voltage surges in electronic equipment, rendering them useless before surge protectors have the chance to react.

'In the near future, this technology may be used to render an enemy's electronic and data systems useless even before the first troops or aircraft arrive,' he said during the initial test.

However, experts fear that the project could create an arms race, with countries scrambling to build their own electromagnetic pulse weapons.

Professor Trevor Taylor, Professorial Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, has previously said the Western world would be more vulnerable attack because of its increased reliance on electronics.

'Should the US be known to have developed such a technology to the production stage, it would drive others to try to act similarly,' he said.

FCC Chairman wants more Wi-Fi in schools

FCC Chairman wants more Wi-Fi in schools


Thought you'd be interested in seeing this if you haven't already.  FCC Chairman wants more Wi-Fi in schools.  With the President backing him on this, how do we keep it out of schools (and cell towers) off school grounds?

Don't forget that Tom Wheeler was head of the CTIA, the lobbying organization for the wireless industry, which is why he advocates wireless.  The wireless industry denies that there are any hazards with wireless radiation.  The CTIA tried to discredit Dr. George Carlo's research when it showed that wireless radiation is dangerous  http://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2007/8/report_cellphone_radiation/page-01, and Tom Wheeler was CEO of the CTIA at the time and he was the one that hired George Carlo in 1993 to head the research project on cell phones http://www.saferemr.com/2013/10/did-tom-wheeler-nominee-for-chairman-of.html .  The former head of the wireless industry should not be the chairman of the FCC, but Tom Wheeler raised $500,000 for Pres. Obama's campaign  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Wheeler, then Pres. Obama appointed Tom Wheeler to FCC chairman in 2013 despite criticism that the former head of the wireless industry's lobbying organization would not be able to regulate the industry objectively  http://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/obamas-bad-pick-a-former-lobbyist-at-the-f-c-c )  .

Fortunately Norm Alster (Edmund J. Safra Center for Ethics, Harvard University) has written an expose on this already http://ethics.harvard.edu/files/center-for-ethics/files/capturedagency_alster.pdf 
But this kind of information needs to get out to more people in the mainstream and our politicians so they understand that the FCC and the wireless industry are essentially on the same side, that there is no objective regulation of the industry, which is why he have 30 year old outdated thermal standards that don't protect anyone, and forced to have Wi-Fi in schools, cell towers in schools/residential areas, and smart meters on our homes.

Petition Update/FCC Limit Update

Petition Update/FCC Limit Update


Hi Everyone,

Thank you if you have signed the petition or if you have helped spread the word.  If you haven't yet, please sign.  Currently, there are 785 signatures.  Progress has slowed down to a trickle.  I have been contacting other cell tower groups so hopefully the numbers will go up.  I suspect the numbers are low because some of you may have signed with a fake email address or typed in the wrong email address accidentally (easy to do on a smart phone).  If you did NOT get a confirmation email from change.org right after you signed, then your signature was not added to the petition.  So please enter your email address correctly. (If they didn't check emails then anyone could sign multiple times with fake email addresses)  If you don't want change.org to have your email address in their system, you can remove it, by clicking "unsubscribe" after you receive their first email.


Signing Tips:

1) If your spouse/significant other signs then we can almost double the signatures.  For a second person to sign on the same computer, have to "log out" at the top right corner of the screen, and then close the browser window.  Open a new browser window (by clicking on petition link again) - 2nd person should be able to sign on computer now.

2) Sign with a valid email address - check that you got a confirmation email - if you didn't, then your signature was not added to the petition (sign petition again in this case).  You can remove your email address from change.org system by clicking "unsubscribe" atter you receive their first email.

3) If you don't want to give out your street address, you can skip your house number.

FCC exposure limits does NOT protect you against effects other than tissue heating.
If a device (cell phone, Wi-Fi router, etc.) or cell tower is FCC compliant, 
it means only that there is not enough microwave radiation from it to cook you.  
It does NOT mean that you are "safe" or protected from all possible effects.  
(Most people are unaware of this, because they assume, like I did until this year, that our government standards protect us.
So please help spread the word on what "FCC Compliance" really means)


Update on FCC exposure limits for wireless radiation  
The following info. was obtained from http://www.saferemr.com/2015_08_01_archive.html .  Dr. Joel Moskowitz, Director and Principal Investigator of UC Berkeley's Center for Family and Community Health, is one of the authors of this website.
FCC has received almost 1000 submissions from June 2012 to August 2015 regarding input on its limits for RF radiation established in 1996.  Below is input from various scientists, doctors, government agencies, and organizations if you'd like to read.  To view or download the submissions go to Proceeding Number 13-84 on the FCC web site.   Don't know when FCC will be done reviewing input, or if they will change their limits, but his process was begun in 2012, 3 years ago.
