Curious weapons

More curious weapons than the ones seen earlier in James Bond movies or now in Avengers or the ones in Hindu epics such as missiles of Arjun, are becoming real.

Reports of “sonic attacks” in China, and previously in Cuba, that left 21 US diplomats with brain injuries last year, have led many wondering whether sonic weapons could be targeting US diplomats. Victims have reportedly experienced mild brain injuries with symptoms including “subtle and vague, but abnormal, sensations of sound and pressure”. Little is known for definite but the symptoms do suggest that some sort of sonic interference could have taken place. It could be unlikely that there is a deliberate “sonic attack”. Instead, these injuries are most probably the side effects of intrusive surveillance!

Would Chinese be too naive to use such a primitive gadget or US is lagging technologically to detect such intrusions, is a point to ponder anyway! But in any case, there is an accepted dictum that, Nothing is unfair in WAR (and LOVE) as well in proclaimed PEACE!

Remember the mysterious disappearance of ‘sparrows’ from our midst after the invasion of cell phones! Are they extinct? What is PETA doing? Incidentally, If you are worried with the knowledge that the ubiquitous smart phones that are nearer and dearer to your heart (like the kavacha of Karna), work on microwaves, there are reasons for scientists to convince you that they might be harmless as well!

One more feather in the cap: Mossad’s heist

One more feather in its cap: Mossad’s heist of documents from high security Iran’s facility – really stirred hornets’ nests… bloodless coup indeed, resulting in Trump spearheading withdrawal from the lifting of sanctions against Iran!

The Israeli spies must have had inside help to have learned which of the 32 safes held the most important information. They watched the habits of the workers. They studied the workings of the alarm system, so that it would appear to be working even though it would not alert anyone when the agents arrived around 10:30pm.

For all the cinematics of the raid, the immediate aftermath was absent of any drama. There was no chase, said Israeli officials, who would not disclose whether the documents left by land, air or sea — though an escape from the coast, just a few hours’ drive from Tehran, appears the least risky.

Fewer than two dozen agents took part in the break-in. Fearing that some of them would be caught, the Israelis removed the materials on several different routes. At exactly 7 a.m., as the Mossad expected, a guard arrived and discovered that the doors and safes were broken. He sounded the alarm, and Iranian authorities soon began a nationwide campaign to locate the burglars — an effort that, according to an Israeli official, included “tens of thousands of Iranian security and police personnel.”

The effort yielded nothing. And until Netanyahu’s speech, the Iranians never said a word in public about what had happened.

Great work of the super spies…
