US ARMY’S ULTRASHORT PULSED LASER
This is an important, if somewhat scary, story that was spotted and shared by V.T.,concerning the US Army's new Ultrashort Pulsed Laser System:
What I want to bring to your attention for today's high octane speculation is this:
The US Army is developing its most powerful laser yet that is a million times more powerful than current systems.
Most laser weapons fire a continuous beam until a target melts or catches fire, but the Tactical Ultrashort Pulsed Laser (UPSL) for Army Platforms will emit short, pulse-like bursts.
It's being designed to reach a terawatt for a brief 200 femtoseconds, which is one quadrillionth of a second, compared to the 150-kilowatt maximum of current systems.
Even for that infinitesimal amount of time, the UPSL could vaporize the surface of a drone.
It's also thought such a burst would disrupt nearby electronics systems, making it a functional electromagnetic pulse (EMP).
...
Unlike normal lasers, which spread out over long distances, a USPL can turn the air itself in a lens and keep its intensity intact.
'The sheer amount of intensity in a terawatt pulse laser is able to cause a non-linear effect in air resulting in a self-focusing filament,' according to the SBIR site. 'These filaments propagate without diffraction, providing a potential solution to the negative impact turbulence has on beam quality when propagating a conventional CW laser system.'
Now what I find intriguing about the possibilities mentioned here is something else not mentioned in the article. Numerous ways to prevent beam diffraction of lasers operating in atmosphere have been looked at over the years as engineers and scientists tried to make the late President Reagan's Strategic Defensive Initiative - better known as the "Star Wars" program - a reality. One of these was, of course, phase conjugation, which in its simplest form led to the construction of adjustable mirrors, i.e., mirrors with a flexible surface attached to springs, which would push or pull the surface of the mirror in response to beam diffraction. One example of such a mirror was supposedly in operation at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and may have played a role in the notorious Paul Bennewitz UFO affair.
Another method, more connected to this story, were black projects - some still ongoing - to create an ionized plasma channel for a laser beam to pass through. A similar phenomenon is involved in ordinary lighting, with feeder-arcs that presage a lighting strike.
Imagine, then, using the filamentary structure of these very high energy short-pulsed lasers to create such a channel for a plasma, such as occurs with lightning. In the proper electrical environment - one, for example, where there is a pronounced region of electrical dipole in the atmosphere - such a channel could lead to an immense, and directed, electrical discharge, one far exceeding the power of the laser itself.
Not for nothing, therefore, I assume, does the article mention blast discharges...
Or to put it more succinctly, there is much they're not telling us about the potentials (not to coin a pun), of this new laser platform. Think of it not as a "rod of God" technology, and more of a "thunderbolts of God" technology. Think of those Assyrian friezes of Marduk hurling his thunderbolts...
Ok... that's it; I've taken my high dive off the end of the twig of speculation.
See you on the flip side...

Chinese scientists created 4,000 pairs of quantum-entangled photons per second at their laboratory in Tibet and fired one of the photons from each pair in a beam of light towards a satellite called Micius, named after an ancient Chinese philosopher.
Micius has a sensitive photon receiver that can detect the quantum states of single photons fired from the ground.

Interesting to see what capabilities a USPL laser would have in teleporting photos.
It is fascinating that there are trends to drip bits of effects that have long been ascribed to perhaps verboten physics as of late. Even to the extent of videos on You Tube discussing what Saturn as a planet “could” be as in a Star ignited.
Speaking of Saturn, I ran across a video that was offered to debunk claims that humans ever went to the moon. It is very interesting that within such video, there was some film of the Saturn V taking off in a vantage point that reveals something quite different. With most LOX based Rockets, there is a leak or venting of gas that is visualizable. One would expect it to be linear and parallel to the direction of flight, due to acceleration. What would cause the said gases venting in a less than parallel path? What could perhaps account for almost orthogonal traces of gas that seem almost “adherent” to the rocket during takeoff?
As a primer, Saturn V Launch : As normally seen in clips etc…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXL5PJoyw_o
Notice linear trail venting of LOX.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOQLSH4KyBs
Note “Stasis of Cloud” of venting LOX “Adherent” to the Saturn V at First Stage and Linear trail Venting of LOX.
Now, Ironically, the below link is a video that is poised to debunk the flights to the moon. One may see at minute 15:00 to 15:25 something very very peculiar…….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5cBFCVdPFE
In fact, I have never seen this on any past clips of the Saturn V……………( I am not sure which flight this came from.)
Note : Almost Orthogonal venting of LOX!
This is aerodynamically unexpected and is difficult to account for UNLESS there is perhaps a “torsion” effect vis a vis MHD or other phenomenon and the venting LOX is a partial “plasma” and is constrained, not unlike the above Cloud rides as a sheath with the Saturn V in the first clip.
Now watch next clip Minute 1:03-1:16 the constrained cloud interplay with stages…..Again is this aerodynamically anticipated? At this altitude, the rocket would have been way past the sonic barrier and even so, the smooth outline is not akin to a shock wave which one would expect travel down the length of the rocket with time and speed increase. If one can really slow it down or watch carefully, one may see what appears to be what appears to be “Vorticity at play.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8fLjC3gNTk
Now one can superimpose the above effect and contemplate this: NASA engineers chose Liquid Helium (despite its intrinsic difficulty to contain and capacity for superfluidity) as a diluent for its landing throttle, which is seemingly illogical because the use of Liquid NEON would provide a greater volumetric thus time to burn the rocket one may begin to see a modus at play. (Also the Liquid Helium was Vented upon landing for no good reason IMO. )
Is it possible there is an Electric MHD modulation for Take off to offset launch mass? Is that what SpaceX Beer can torsional crushing caused by an inadvertent or purposeful demonstration of mastery of this modulation? Is it possible the numerous explosions are to destroy evidence of such mechanisms of action? Are we looking at an electrical modulation for landing as well that would explain the “hang time” on the Space X? Was the LEM landing Electrically modulated? Dunno, but is it possible?

Musk is sending a clear message that he has the knowledge of the past. Perhaps he is obligated to destroy to ensure prying eyes can’t sort out how he is doing what he is doing……….There is upon closer exam more than meets the eye. Slow Motion at interface of top capsule and at base reveals Torsion and Implosion……
2:01 until end finality of the SN10.

Have we missed the obvious due to stock videos of launches without the system in play? Makes one go Huuummmmm as Dr. Farrell would say.
So why all of this now? Perhaps are we on the verge of a true paradigm shift in “energy?” and thus the core of the monetary valuation system? Are these shots over the bow meant to be shock tests or saber rattling for other countries? Lots to ponder. All thoughts welcome.
I’d loved to see Dr Farrell in a conversation with Ken Wheeler on Theoria Apophasis. Might be a gigantic step from the past into the future.
Not so sidebar sidebar:
Anyone in touch with Goshawks? Give him our best and hope we hear from him soon. Wish we had more time for direct messages on Doc’s board and for friend requests. Now’s a good example of times I wish I could send a note. Thank you in advance and all the best.
Was wondering myself. I sorely sorely miss their input.
This takes us back to Cali and the numbers of folk missing aka vaporized and all the strange structural fires that left the natural landscape so minimally charred.
Ran across this and finally got to it today.
Ironic as I read CAF’s State of Our Currencies.

Ah, yes, “millions of times more powerful than current systems,” . . As if those systems are well developed in the first place.
Duck. The ducks are flying. Dezinformatsiya of press, social media, and major networks is rampant again with later day operatives pulling threads of a tapestry they haven’t a clue. The tail of the Dragon is NOT wagging the dog. It’s a long Belt and Road. Sovietszky was not amused last century for an economic hit their governance took last century. The presumption that new military toys with awesome power using new directed energies will mystify the Party of the east by going west is already a nonstarter. They’re likely to have already stolen the blueprints of design.
Reaching temperatures and frequencies as close to what those first nuclear experiments conjured could set off “Red Alerts” of certain Others already not amused at humankind’s dangerous toy sets. One thing that seems to be inherent with these devices is that they draw a lot of attention. Usually of the unwanted type from sources they (high salary white coats) haven’t a clue and wouldn’t know if they walked up and shook their hands. They’re not tethering their escape line in this direction.
Shielding from such weapons is probably something more worthy of the expense of research and development. At least there’s a sense of safety during space flight, protection from massive solar pulses, and those gamma particles that seem to get in the way anyway. The noble gases, no doubt, are a problem on or near the planet’s surface but near vacuum conditions of low and high orbits, . . . well, . . suggest something of space borne positioning of certain types of quick action from orbiting platforms.
Of course, shortening the distances between platform and probable targets suggests multiple platforms or quick action mobile platforms. Good and accurate intelligence will still be necessary.
One thing for certain heat dissipation and power use are likely to be enormous unless ways around that concern has been found.
Yes, I would say the article is probably a public service announcement and the contraption already exists. There ought to be something to show for all those trillions of dollars missing.
While reading this blog I got the idea of pulsed reality. Time pulses: Eventually everything gets recreated and every scenario repeats in infinity. This could be viewed as pulses in creation. Distance pulses: If you could travel a trillion trillion light years in distance or further eventually you may find another identical Galaxy to this one running the same identical scenarios and timeline. Scale pulses: At a near infinite seeming smaller or larger scale of existence there may exist an identical Universe to this one. This could be viewed as scaled pulses of reality. When you realize time, distance, and scale are all relative values that intermingle with each other in a higher dimension of perception you realize this moment pulses in and out of existence constantly everywhere and for all eternity. Like when you fall asleep and reawaken eight hours later seemingly instantly but in reality you were out of it for eight hours, we don’t notice the intervals between pulses. During the time we are not here something else is. Actually infinite things are pulsing in and out of existence in the same space but at different intervals to each other when viewed from the biggest interdimensional picture of all things. Now if we could alter the timing of our pulses in a localized area to the tiniest degree in relation to us we could walk through walls as if they were not there. From a negative mass field generating craft that could do this we could fly into a secret base at the center of a mountain as if the ground was not there. Superconductivity might take advantage of this potential somehow to accomplish some of what it does. If we mastered warping the frequencies of the interdimensional pulses to all times and places we could warp to any place or time including alternate timelines and existences, all from our favorite comfortable armchair if we had a handheld interdimensional pulse warp device.
Viva la France!!!
Here is some of what is known to support this hypothesis. I suspect at some sub-atomic level, all of reality vibrates in and out of existence constantly. Perhaps negative mass fields get produced simultaneously when singularities of positive mass get produced by colliding cosmic waves. Perhaps these singularities popping in and out of existence so fast we cant perceive it is because it goes from negative mass to neutral medium to positive mass before reversing back to neutral medium to negative mass over and over again in a sort of standing wave. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/are-virtual-particles-rea/
My hypothesis solves this mystery. Neutron=neutral medium phase of oscillation. Proton=wave collision produced singularities positive mass phase portion of oscillation. Oscillation length of this standing wave singularity through all phases can produce different sizes for neutrons and protons and still maintain the same mass despite different sizes in different atom elements. Since speed increases mass, speeding up this oscillation might turn one element into another. Or different elements might get formed as singularities created by differing numbers of colliding waves from differing angles of collisions as well. Is the electron negative mass or something else? I suspect it is something else and is a field created by singularity spin. https://www.livescience.com/mystery-of-proton-neutron-behavior-in-nucleus.html
Roger, you might want to check out Roger Spurr’s theory on this thinking. I do not have a scientific mind, but he is showing that squeezing light through a tight spot separates the only two pieces of matter that make up everything!! I wouldn’t know!! 😉
There’s something of that “spooky physics” that isn’t quite virtual when high energies are in play.
Just put all that into a holographic rotating system. IMHO you are spot on.
No time to read the posts, but reading Joseph’s words I understand there is sinister news.
I send you all a link of the kind of resistance rapidly speading in all cities in France, here in Paris :
“DANSER ENCORE” – Flashmob – Gare du Nord – 4 Mars 2021
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq9qFvoMKaY
Hoping this helps a little. The war against Love between Humans has begun long ago. As I belong to the Paris tango crowd who has been doing this kind of flash mobs dancing tango at all kinds of unauthorized places across the city for many years, seeing this now suddenly spreading like fire fills my heart with joy.
The new yellow vests are born.
Viva la France!!!
Et vive l’Humanité !
Danse – I love it… “absurdités sur ordonnance”!
God bless the French and vive la résistance!
God bless you too Fiatlux, the Americans and all the Peoples of the planet.
Vive la Résistance !
I love the French language. I took in high school and college.
moi aussi
Barely.
Danse, Your post brings joy to my heart!
Merci beaucoup mon ami <3
Merci à toi, ami. Your posts make me happy too, Acorn.
Danse you’s guys got the tour !!!??? Hopefully ? 1 day our tour of kally-forn-yaa Will be an thing of PRIDE …here in ole A-merry-ka dude I LOVE THE TOUR ???✌️?. https://youtu.be/cZTzHXSmRfk. Keep on ?
Amazing & Wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Merci Danse.
Please get the lyrics out in English and French. We’re all becoming Gypsies fast.
Is this it?
To dance again
A wrinkle in the mirror,
I’m getting old.
In my bed, there’s room for two.
Before life runs past,
I want to still feel desire.
A ripple on the surface,
Are we happy?
The light goes out little by little.
Before being in the dark,
I want to still feel hope.
And to dance again.
To go forth in full sail.
And to dance again.
To send death flying
Off the road.
Last storm warning,
Last chorus.
To live without thinking about the future.
To dance, and let the earth rotate,
Downhill and without any fuss.
A last cigarette,
A glass of wine,
To take the few left behind*.
To party, before everything stops,
Until the end.
And to dance again.
To go forth in full sail.
And to dance again.
To send death flying
Off the road.

No Zendogbreath, those lyrics ar not the ones sung by the French who sing everywhere like in this video their refusal of dictatorship and their firm will to livre freely and happily. I took this video among others because the words were written on the screen.
“they want to lock down our consciousness”
The lyrics are printed here, under this video where subtitles are available in German :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyBEMRyt6Qg
Refrain :
Nous on veut continuer à danser encore
Voir nos pensées enlacer nos corps
Passer nos vies sur une grille d’accords
* * * * * * *
Refrain x2
Nous sommes des oiseaux de passage
Jamais dociles ni vraiment sages
Nous ne faisons pas allégeance
À l’aube en toutes circonstances
Nous venons briser le silence
Et quand le soir à la télé
Monsieur le bon roi a parlé
Venu annoncer la sentence
Nous faisons preuve d’irrévérence
Mais toujours avec élégance
Refrain x2
Auto-métro-boulot-conso
Auto attestation qu’on signe
Absurdité sur ordonnance
Et malheur à celui qui pense
Et malheur à celui qui danse
Chaque mesure autoritaire
Chaque relent sécuritaire
Voit s’envoler notre confiance
Ils font preuve de tant d’insistance
Pour confiner notre conscience
Refrain x2
Ne soyons pas impressionnables
Par tous ces gens déraisonnables
Vendeurs de peur en abondance
Angoissants, jusqu’à l’indécence
Sachons les tenir à distance
Pour notre santé mentale
Sociale et environnementale
Nos sourires, notre intelligence
Ne soyons pas sans résistance
Les instruments de leur démence
Refrain x2
And in the comments from all over the world under the video, someone posted an english translation (I add some explanations/corrections) :
Chorus :
We want to keep dancing again
See our thoughts embrace our bodies
Spend our lives on a grid of chords
* * * * * * *
Chorus x2
We are birds of passage
Never docile nor really wise (>it should read quiet instead of wise : refers to quiet children here)
We don’t pledge allegiance
At dawn in all circumstances
We come to break the silence
And when the evening on TV
The good king has spoken (>Mister good king)
Came to announce the sentence
We are disrespectful (> should read : we display irreverence)
But always with elegance
Chorus x2
Auto-metro-work-conso (>Auto and metro are for the time spent in cars and tube to go to work daily, conso is for mandatory consumerism)
Self-attestation that we sign (>the government had us fill a mandatory testimony listing the reasons we were out)
Prescription absurdity (>absurdity on prescription, like in “murder on prescription”)
And woe to him who thinks
And woe to him who dances
Every authoritative measure
Every whiff of security
Sees our confidence fly away
They are so insistent (>they show so much insistence)
To confine our consciousness (>to lockdown our consciousness : confiner is the verb for lockdown)
Chorus x2
Let’s not be impressionable
By all these unreasonable people
Fear sellers in abundance
Anguish, to the point of indecency
Let’s know how to keep them at a distance
For our mental health (>for our mental, social and environmental health)
Social and environmental
Our smiles, our intelligence
Let’s not be without resistance
The instruments of their insanity
Chorus x2
brilliant. Merci.
Danser encore
Une ride dans la glace,
Je me fais vieux.
Dans le lit j’ai de la place pour deux.
Avant que la vie ne passe,
Je veux garder l’envie.
Une ride à la surface,
Sommes-nous heureux ?
La lumière s’éteint peu à peu.
Avant d’être dans le noir,
Je veux garder l’espoir.
Et danser encore.
Avancer toute voile dehors.
Et danser encore.
Envoyer valser la mort,
Dans le décor.
Dernier avis de tempête,
Dernier refrain.
Vivre sans penser au lendemain.
Danser que tourne la terre,
Descente et l’air de rien.
Une dernière cigarette,
Un verre de vin,
Ramasser les miettes du festin.
Faire avant que tout s’arrête,
La fête jusqu’à la fin.
Danser encore.
Avancer toute voile dehors.
Et danser encore.
Envoyer valser la mort,
Dans le décor.

They used their own lyrics.
Reminds of Voltaire:
“Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
And now as they cannot make us believe absurdities, they are trying to make us comply with absurdities.
They just said they intend now to test the schoolchildren, and do so every week. They are currently brainwashing the schoolchildren with propaganda sessions every week. It will be interesting to see the result of this new attempt to have us comply with absurdities, choosing the defenseless targets : our children .
Correction: they want to test children not every week, but every fourtnight
Couldn’t this technology be put to better use like being used to hurl shuttlecraft into orbit that technology was proposed in 1992. No, we have the deathray of the Martians from War Of The Worlds.
Maybe it’s for building a tripod mounted gadget on Mars for sweeping big falling rocks out of the way.
Marcos Good God in Heaven ! folks ytf does EVERYTHING!!! we touch hav ta be an ….weapons? Is IT any WONDER ?…. they don’t want US …out there ???. Umm kinda lean’n towards ?it might be cuz of. …disco music ? ? ?? ? ? tho? it not our best stuff
Whenever we’re talking about the U.S. Military announcing a new & improved laser weapon that will vaporize the target, I think about the farsight.org remote viewing of 911 in which the RVer saw high-level military plus civilians using some kind of similar weapon. And that’s what happened isn’t it? Vaporization of thick steel girders.
Yesterday I had though that “others” among us maybe seeking to bring back those good old ancient technologies of pre-cosmic war days. Those days before, resorting to the unaccountable “Tablets of Destiny” power.
Where unaccountable power can be defined as: no more normal.
… to the post
The fact that “they’re” advertising this means they want it known.
A message: to whom it may concern.
So, it’s either true; partially true; false; and/or both.
What’s concerning, is that it maybe even more nasty than advertised.
In fact, have “they” discovered something
about those legendary destiny crystals?
[By the way, if memory serves me correctly; there were 47 I think, and yet your book cited 33(yes, I counted). Perhaps there were only 33 named/recorded, and the others were lost in translation/documents?]
Yes,
nearing that critical time frame of unaccountable power;
where those in control of such power,
have not the fortitude to
keep their fingers off
the cosmic triggers?
My,
how cosmic times have changed?
I wonder if this fits the signature of what destroyed the AT&T building in Nashville, TN this past Christmas season? That was no truck bomb. The official story was yet another LHO moment. (Lee Harvey Oswald.) Nashville’s mayor is tied to the hip to the globalists as a Democrat–so he would play the game for a few perks.
Well you could have two lasers beams. The first creates an ionized path for the second to follow without being distorted as much. I suspect if you had a bunch of super capacitors in parallel and had them synchronized you could get the terawatts in rapid short bursts. With todays advances with meta materials such as aluminum glass and low thermal conductive ceramics you could reduce the loss of power to heat that would destroy the device when it was fired. Probably had this capability for quite a while and are just now admitting it because China and others have developed it. Perhaps we are letting them know, tes we know what you have a plan to do with this but we already have our Starwars Space based platforms in place so good luck trying.
Acoustic lasers anyone? This could set up a lensing effect through the air for a laser to follow. Also sound lasers at the right frequencies and strength might be weaponized themselves. Or used for communication channels difficult for enemies to spy on. I like the cloaking capabilities mentioned for some metamaterial research. They claim these meta materials can create sound waves tuned to atomic level of manipulation. Know the elemental structure of an asteroid and you know it’s destructive resonating pulsed frequency to hit it with to save the Earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_metamaterial
The tech used in 911 was Scalar Interferometry as described by Thomas Bearden p. 143 in his book Oblivion. All waveforms have the same character, sound, light water whateever. Light has no speed it is a perturbation in the ether. Just check this by transmitting light through a prism.
The Glücksburg ancestry financed Rottenchild’s rise to economic power, who in return financed the Bolsheviks, doing mass murder, in return for gold profit, from theft.
With ancestry like that, descendants must be looking over their shoulders, watching out, for the returning boomerang. It answers the question, of their driving motive, as fear.
The drive, that advances weaponry, into a planetary killer, is in those creatures, that hide behind curtains, and parade in public, while controlling subjects, by poisonous vaccine.
Mass murderers, hiding in plain sight, seek to escape their own gambling obsession, in their bloody business:

Yes I get how cool a science this is, but what kind of mind conceives of such a thing and it’s potential uses? And, not end up with the conclusion that just because we can, should we? Weaponry is good leverage – or we all wouldn’t own so many guns. I’m not certain there are comparable scientific inventions that work within the framework of good – peace, kindness, expansive creativity and joy – but, it’s clear these inventors have never experienced any of that. And, just with the GMO backlash (JPs 3.2 post) and the ill-conceived mRNA cocktail – well, it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!
Satan has been given the Tablets of Destiny. Pray, fast, repent, repeat.
That ain’t destiny. It’s a script.
I wonder what would happen if an Ultrashort Pulsed Laser was combined with a Radar Phase Inverter using the latest radiophotonics and terahertz technologies? I keep teleporting to Joseph’s book on the Unified Field.

Sounds like a plausible explanation for the tool used to create all those ammo dump ( and other stuff ) ‘fires’.
Off topic, but very, very important.

My response to all …from a poem written 2019.
The Rose: Catherine’s Window
The Labours of Months is turning, turning…
spinning wheels of kaleidoscope jewels shot with blue,
shimmer through fire hot – sizzling.
Towered buildings fall and crash.
Again fire devours…
what is left is our ash.
Christians in Paradise try to flee
as flames char our targeted humanity.
Who so ever is the enemy?
Out of site, out of mind,
secretly crawling as we sleep.
Shoot the clouds…their deeds are steep.
@Sandy girl.
It was heartbreaking when the ravenous fires devastated Paradise CA. In retrospect, I feel the small mobile home park containing many retired and elderly people, many of whom were very connected to each through their beliefs and attended the same church…were targeted. Perhaps/ perhaps not, like the elderly in some nursing homes.
