SHOCK Video: The Military’s Terrifying “PAIN RAY” Energy Weapon That Can Paralyze Illegals at 700 Yards, Instantly Turn Them Back
It was as if some invisible jet impinged upon them… I saw them staggering and falling, and their supporters turning to run.” Since the first appearance of the “heat-ray” in H G Wells’s The War of the Worlds, ray guns have been a staple feature of science fiction: the classic sign of overwhelming technological superiority. But they are no longer fiction. Last month, Lt Col John Dorrian admitted that the US military’s brand-new Active Denial System (ADS) had been shipped to Afghanistan, the first time it has been present in an active theatre of war. According to the top brass, it is a “non-lethal, directed-energy, counter-personnel weapon”. Among the troops, however, its favoured description is rather shorter: “the pain ray”.
Compared with most military vehicles, the device looks relatively harmless – like one of the broadcasting trucks you see outside big sporting events: an anonymous-looking military transport with what appears to be a square satellite dish mounted on top. But it contains an extraordinary new weapon, capable of causing immense discomfort from half a mile away without – its makers claim – doing any lasting damage.
The ADS works by projecting a focused beam of 3.2mm wave electromagnetic radiation at a human target. This heats the water and fat molecules on the skin, causing their temperature to rise by up to 50C. Philip Sherwell, a Sunday Telegraph reporter who tried out the ADS in 2007, describes it as “unbearably uncomfortable, like opening a roasting hot oven door”. The immediate instinct is to escape the beam and seek cover – at which point the effect subsides.
In some quarters, the ADS has been hailed as the future of crowd control. Kelley Hughes, a spokesman for the Pentagon’s Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD), which oversaw its development, says that “the ADS provides our troops with our most advanced, non-lethal escalation-of-force option. It will support a full...
Trumped: Property bubble fears rise in China as it struggles with losing the trade war
A research report from one of the China’s largest state-backed investment banks has warned that 2019 could be a “year of recession” for the real estate sector.
The China International Capital Corporation, or CICC, pointed out in the study that sales, investment and new construction starts would decline significantly.
“In response, the Chinese government should alter policies that were put in place to cool the market,” CICC researchers stressed.
Indeed, years of booming growth appear to be over with property investment slowing to 8.9% in September from 9.2% in August while home sales fell 3.6% from a year earlier.
To put that into perspective, one the country’s biggest developers China Vanke confirmed that “survival” was the ultimate goal for the next three years as a “turning point” had arrived for the industry, Chinese media website Caixin reported.
Concerns are also growing about the number of empty apartments and houses across the world’s second-largest economy.
Data from a nationwide survey, which has yet to be released by the Chengdu’s Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, showed that about 50 million homes were unoccupied, which was about 22% of retail properties.
Nightmare scenario
Many were bought as investments and the nightmare scenario for Beijing is that if the housing bubble pops, the market could be flooded, sending prices spiraling down.
“There is no other single country with such a high vacancy rate,” Professor Gan Li, who is in charge of the study at Chengdu’s Southwestern University, told Bloomberg News. “Should any crack emerge in the property market, the homes to be offloaded will hit China like a flood.”
Yet again, this is just another statistical snapshot illustrating a broader malaise in the Chinese economy, which is showing distinct signs of slowing.
In the third quarter, GDP growth came in at a respectable 6.5% but still fell to levels not seen since the 2009 Great Recession.
Moreover, the pace of expansion in the service sector is decelerating while factory activity has dropped.
Latest data on consumer confidence has also dipped, CEIC, a global market intelligence firm, revealed, with pressure from the trade dispute fueling anxieties in China’s stock markets.
Ending this economic Cold War has now become a priority for Beijing when you factor in punitive tit-for-tat tariffs, including US President Donald Trump’s decision to slap import duties on...
Canada Becoming a Potential Base for Terrorists to Attack the US
Canada is today the happy home of thousands of radical Islamists, ex-ISIS fighters and the Muslim Brotherhood. Their numbers continue to grow, with Islamists infiltrating the Canadian government on several levels.
Many Americans assume that all is peaceful and well with their northern neighbor. But security experts here warn that by welcoming radical Islamists, Canada now presents a danger to the United States.
Canada as an 'Aircraft Carrier' for Muslim Terrorists to Attack America
Terrorism expert David Harris, who worked for Canada's spy agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, told us a major attack on the United States by Muslim extremists based in Canada is "only a matter of time."
"Many years ago I suggested that many of the Islamist extremists might regard Canada as an aircraft carrier from which to maintain operations against...

Supervisor of Florida Elections, Brenda Snipes to be 'Forced From Office' for Violating Florida Law
Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes is expected to be "forced from office" after a judge found her guilty of violating Florida law. Following further reports of highly suspicious actions by her office, either Governor Rick Scott or governor-elect Ron DeSantis is anticipated to soon strip her from her role, Politico reports.
Snipes is accused of intentionally destroying ballots along with allowing felons and non-citizens to vote in elections.
"Counting unlawful votes. Destroying ballots. Sunshine Law violations. Busted deadlines," Politico's Marc Caputo writes. "
So many controversies have bedeviled Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes — culminating in her office’s troubles in the aftermath of Florida’s chaotic 2018 elections — that her days in office are now numbered, insiders and lawmakers say." Protestors react to news of further election sabotage by Brenda Snipes.
According to Daily Wire, even Snipes' fellow Democrats have begun to abandon her amid her increasingly indefensible mishandling of the count, which has already resulted in a judge finding her in violation of Florida election law, Snipes' office accidentally mixing invalidated ballots into legitimate results, and a suspicious series of reports of "found" ballots and illegally transported ballots.
The situation is adding up to "the increasing likelihood of an embarrassing suspension from office at the hands of either Gov. Rick Scott or his likely successor...
