You can actually go to the CIA.gov website and read about everything that I've just said. CI.gov we're talking about, these are in their files. This is all public information that they've been required to release all declassified files on the development of these weapons. Now I'm gonna, I'm gonna skip Forward from the 50s and I'm gonna talk about a smaller version that was in develop by the British military, experimented on with Irish troops in Ireland. Again, an involuntary group, group of these smaller versions of these things in which they were basically referring to them as agitation weapons in which they could elicit any number of reactions from the soldiers, the Irish soldiers that they were experimenting on. They could make them run from a battlefield, they could make them so highly agitated that they would go into battle involuntarily. In other words, they could make them angry, they could make them think that they were losing their mind. They could make them think that they were hearing voices in their head. This was 1973. Now let's jump forward again. Let's jump all the way to 1991 with the fall of the Soviet empire. When that happened, you had an entire massive, the, the, the, the Soviet version of the military industrial complex was out of work, Matt. They had no idea where their next paycheck was coming from. So you had scientists and generals that were selling their research and their scientists to the highest bidder on the open market. Well, obviously Americans, not only private companies, but the American government as well, was, were, you know, all over this and we were buying these technologies. So last year, May 8th of 2024, there was a congressional hearing right there on Capitol Hill, an open hearing about the Havana Syndrome, or the ahis, which is the anomalous health incidents associated with directed energy weapons. And during that hearing, one of the witnesses testified. This is a European, I believe, I believe he's Bulgarian, he's, he, he classifies himself as an investigative journalist, but there's a lot of crossover, crossover between the, the intelligence community and investigative journalism. And, and he personally examined in 1991, during this time a Soviet version of a backpack size directed energy weapon that could in fact do some of these things that we're talking about. This technology was attained. It was certainly being developed by the Americans already anyway. But once we learned what the Soviets had done, began to combine the research and the technology, the science together by the late 90s, our own special operations, and this is where we get into the non googleable side of this, you know, rabbit hole that I've been down for the last four years, is that elements of our own special ops and intelligence community had the, what they called a agitation weapon. And this agitation weapon could be either audio or rf. And these particular weapons could in fact make people violent, make them go crazy, hear voices in their head. This is one that is actually, this is, this is, this is where we get into the differentiation between nefarious intent and, and then what the positive aspects of what this type of science can do. And I'll just give you one example of the positive aspect. Let's say that you are in a battlefield situation and you're, you have 10,000 meters away is another element of your own troops. But you're separated by the enemy and you need to communicate with them, either target coordinates or whatever, whatever you need, plans, battle operations, that sort of thing. And you don't dare Use traditional radio because you know it's being monitored by the enemy. You probably don't dare even use encrypted radio because they've probably broken your encryption long before anyway. So what you can do is now with these, with this particular, one particular audio device is you can send what is the equivalent, equivalent of a laser beam. So this is a directed radio signal or audio signal to an individual 10,000 meters away. Hit them in the head with that, with, you know, high powered telescopes and that sort of, you know, lenses so that you can see them, you can aim it directed at them. Hit them in the head and talk to them in their head. They're the only one that can hear it. Any of the other troops standing around them cannot hear it. The enemy cannot hear it. But you can communicate the battle plans or the targeting vectors or whatever the case may be to another soldier that far away and tight, very tight beam rather than a typical radio wave that does this. It's like the, the radio version of a laser. And that's a incredible technology to have. But what if I can talk to you in your head and tell you to kill someone? What if I can talk to you in your head in such a way scripted over a period of time that makes you think you're hearing the voice of God and you become convinced of it and you decide it's okay to take a shot at the President from, you know, 150 yards away on top of a building in Butler, Pennsylvania? That's just hypothetical because I don't know that. Let's be clear about that. But this is what the capability of this technology is, and this is real. Now, that particular technology I just explained right here, that's also open source. You can find that. What's not open source, and which I had a member of our, our special Forces community asked me not to reveal was the capabilities of this particular backpack unit. And because of the nature of the show, I'll. You could, you can beep it out if you want to, but I'm going to tell you about my, my conversation with this particular operator. I'd met him in a social context a couple of times on a group, purposefully introduced to him as somebody who was going to be a valuable source to me as I went down this rabbit hole. And after meeting him twice, he became comfortable enough with me and trustful enough with me that I would only reveal what I'm allowed to reveal. And he agreed to a private meeting. I showed up at the meeting with him, and this is undisclosed location in Northern Virginia. The first thing he did is he handed me a, you know, Faraday bag for my cell phone, but I already had one. And he was very impressed with that, that I already had my own. And so we began, we began our meeting and here's what the first thing that this particular special operator said to me. He told me that he is in fact one of the smallest of handful of experts on this particular agitation weapon, this backpack, backpack size energy weapon. And, and he said, the only reason that I agreed to talk to you, and this is an exact quote, is because you already know too fucking much. And he said, but you have no idea what it is actually capable of. And that was his intro to me in this particular meeting. During this meeting, Matt, he then said to me, he said, I am going to appeal to you and to your patriotism to not release all of the capabilities of this particular weapon. He said, the reason why I'm asking you not to go public with this is because there still are actual valuable interests, there are national security interest and actual operational good of this particular type of weapon that we have on the battlefield. And, and from that conversation, Matt, and this is where it changed significantly, we began to discuss the actual group that he worked with. And I have long insinuated their existence. But there's enough public information now, again Googleable that I don't have any problems naming the organization that he and this other small handful of special operators work for. There was a book written 2016 called the Killer Elite which talked about this particular group. Some of them called them. In this book they referred to them as the activity. Sometimes they just refer to them as the Unit. There was an actual book came out last year about this group called the Unit. And it's only right out about a hundred of our most elite operators. These guys are not recruited for their brawn. They don't look like seals, you know, they don't look, they don't look like frog men. You can recognize a SEAL in a room pretty quickly. You won't recognize one of these guys. They're recruited for their, their brains. They're almost all polyglots. In other words, they speak multiple languages. This particular individual that I was, I was talking to right here spoke five languages. The, the member of that same group that introduced me to him, he spoke eight languages, five of them fluent or native as they, they say. And they, they are expert in multiple disciplines. And this group operates out of two bases just out either side of north and south of D.C. one at Fort Mead in Maryland, the other at Felt Fort Belvoir in Virginia. And if the numbers that I'm given are correct, there's only at any one time 102 operatives in this elite group. And so they're generally referred to in any special operator that's listening to this broadcast right here, whether they're Green Beret, Navy seal, Delta Force, or some other group, will certainly recognize when I say the phrase Task Force Orange. And that's what this group is typically referred to. And so these operators that I'm referring to who have used, not only used these battlefield versions of backpack directed energy weapons or agitation weapons, as they like to call them, also were essential in the development of these weapons as well, actual consulting engineers themselves in the development and the actual application in the battlefield of these weapons. So this is where this particular conversation turned. Acknowledging that he was a member of Task Force Orange, or tfo, I asked him a couple of questions. I said, I said, if we're, I said, humor me for a moment. Let me give you, give you a set of numbers here and see if you agree with this set of numbers or this analysis. If I'm talking about Navy SEALS operators or if I'm talking about Delta Force, I said, we're probably looking about 85 to 90%, maybe even higher, of those individual groups are conservative, right leaning, politically, Trump supporters, maga. I said, is that a fair characterization? He said, yeah, that's, that's probably about right, 85 to 90%. I said, but if we're talking about Task Force Orange, it's only about 60%, isn't that correct? And he kind of looked up and he went, 55 tops. So what he was saying was, is that the most elite group in our entire United States military, military, Special Operations, Task Force Orange, are somewhere on the order of 40 to 45% liberal, which is starkly different from the other Special Forces groups. So I asked him, then I said, well, isn't it because of the nature of TFO and that so much of what you guys do or psychological operations, signal intelligence, human intelligence, things of that nature, isn't it, Isn't it fairly certain that your commanders know the politics of every individual member of the group? And he said, yeah, it's, that's probably fair. And I said, wouldn't it therefore be possible to take a guy who is left leaning, maybe, I don't know to what degree of left of center he might be, but wouldn't it be possible to convince somebody on the left side of the ledger with this particular skill set that literal Hitler is running for president and that you would be doing the work of God and country to either take him out or take his people out or take out his key supporters. In this particular TFO operator, he went silent on me for a moment and he goes. He had never been willing to go there because these guys were absolutely adamant. And I've met eight of them now. I've met, I've met and interacted with eight different retired members of TFO and none of them were, are willing to allow that their brothers or sisters from that elite unit would be involved in these types of domestic operations at all. But I happen to know that they were there that day on January 6th. And then Newsweek one year later, first week of January 2022 ran a story and the headline to that story, Matt, was it was very sensational. It was definitely very clickbaity. But it said that January that said that special commandos or secret commandos rather would shoot to kill orders at January 6th. That was written by what you and I would refer to as a Mockingbird media member, William Arkin, a consistent and valued source of our intelligence community and Department of Defense for many years and leaking information and controlling narrative in the manner that they want it controlled. Put this out there because I had ten and a half months earlier put it out in my little bitty blog. But it was starting to get headwind and you know, through the various interviews that I had done and podcasts that I'd been on things of that nature long before I was with the Blaze. So it was something that they needed to head off its pass. And, and in that particular article it did say that while this particular elite unit was, they didn't. It was unnamed was there. We do not know what their operational stance was. The military has not released that to us. So ten and a half months after I put that out there, Newsweek came forward with it with the same exact information.
