hmmm. yet more testing of draconian measures in the emerald colony?
when are they going to admit they are
dousing protestors with Electro Magnetic Frequencies?

Baton rounds could be replaced by exploding chemical pellets in Northern Ireland.
The Northern Ireland Office revealed that officials are considering replacing the baton round currently in use with either a safer type of the same less-lethal weapon or chemical projectiles.
Government research, which is outlined in the report A research programme into alternative policing approaches towards the management of conflict, said the 'discriminating irritant projectile' releases a localised cloud of sensory irritant chemical that temporarily incapacitates 'a violent individual'.
Irwin Montgomery, chairman of the Police Federation for Northern Ireland, said: 'We will not give up the baton round until there is a satisfactory alternative for crowd control.
'This has to be seen as quite distinct from one-to-one subduing of people. It is about keeping people 50ft back, so that our officers do not get lumps of concrete dropped on their feet.'
He added: 'Nobody has yet come up with an alternative to the plastic baton round. When they do, we will happily use it.'

Malodorants and irritants are two types of nonlethal weapons designed to temporarily mark, incapacitate, or drive away persons from an area. Environmental assessments have been performed on the malodorants Bathroom Malodor and Who-Me?, and the irritants Oleoresin Capsicum (OC), CS-Mace, and CN-Mace.

Of course if the Republican elements in Ulster accepted the decsion of the UN made in 1953 concerning the Irish question this problem would go away ! Or would that be too simple ?

That's an interesting and bizarre conspiracy theory, if ever I heard one. "Electro-Magentic Frequencies" doesn't even really refer to anything real.
I assume that you mean "Electromagnetic waves" or "Electromagnetic radiation", which would make slightly more sense, but not a lot. There are lots of different types of them. Light for example, but then we are doused with that daily by the sun. Do you mean radio waves? The amount of TV/radio broadcasting means we are also constantly exposed to those. Microwaves? It's probably possible to make a weapon that uses microwaves, but it would be pretty hard to keep quiet, considering the horrible injuries it would cause.
That pretty much only leaves x-rays and gamma rays, which could be used to give people cancer. Pretty odd thing to do though - if it were true, you'd still be able to do a good few years protesting before you died, and the equipment to do it on mass would e pretty bulky and hard to conceal.
Or do you have some other reason in mind why they might do this? Mind control? Well beyond our current technology.
Please, I'd really like to know what you actually think is happening, and what evidence you have for it.

Known officially as a "Vehicle-Mounted Active Denial System," this new weapon is said to be more humane and more effective than other methods of controlling a large crowd or stopping aggressive intruders dead in their tracks.
Here's how it works. A special transmitter fires two-second bursts of focused microwave energy that causes burning sensations on the skin of people up to 700 yards away. But no one gets fried and no telltale burn marks linger on the body because the beam only penetrates just beneath the skin's surface at a depth of 1/64th of an inch. Targets of this concentrated electromagnetic pulse briefly experience intense pain and confusion, prompting them to leave the area in hurry

yes, i admit it was a generalisation...
ooh you are soooo picky
i beleive the beam weapons were used in Italy,
it is said some protestors
literally shit themselves, prompting the
wearing of nappies to gaud the cops...

Electromagnetic fields = EMF
the World Health Organization (WHO) established the International EMF Project in 1996 to assess the scientific evidence of possible health effects of EMF in the frequency range from 0 to 300 GHz
er...sorry!!!

Mind control has been if effect since the first pictures were beamed from the BBC into your living room with a cathode-ray tube. If you want to know how mind control will be applied in future, look no further than the cell phone in your pocket and the transmitter on your local school roof.
