| Lurid Moonbat Fantasy #60: "Brown Note" & ray guns to be used on Denver protestors |
| 2008-08-26 |
| Cristina Corbin, Fox News "How can you believe Fox News, man? They're in the pockets of our corporate opprressors! Don't believe a word they say. Unless they're quoting me." Political activists planning protest rallies at the upcoming Democratic Convention in Denver have their stomachs in knots over a rumor about a crowd control weapon - known as the "crap cannon" - that might be unleashed against them. "Oh s***!" Also called "Brown Note," it is believed to be an infrasound frequency that debilitates a person by making them defecate involuntarily. "And then they banned carrying urine and feces in buckets! Those monsters!" Mark Cohen, co-founder of Re-create 68, an alliance of local activists working for the protection of first amendment rights, said he believes this could be deployed at the convention in August to subdue crowds. "We know this weapon and weapons like it have been used at other large protests before," he said. . . . "I had the runs at the Miami protest, but it wasn't the burritos and kimchee I had the night before, I know it--it was the pigs, man! They made me do it!" His group is preparing against a possible attack by Brown Note and other crowd-control measures by dispatching street medics at the convention trained in treating injuries in demonstration situations. "It's all we can do," Cohen said. So is the Brown Note a real threat? Dr. Roger Schwenke - an expert acoustician who appeared on the Discovery Channel's Mythbusters in 2004 to test the phenomenon - told FOXNews.com there is no scientific evidence that proves such frequencies cause involuntary defecation. "It's all a lie! Adam and Jamie are tools of the corporate media. They sold out to the Man, man!" But Glenn Spangnuolo, also with Re-create 68, isn't taking any chances. He said he has no doubt that Brown Note exists, and is preparing his group for confrontation. "Whether it causes someone to defecate in their pants or not, I don't know that," said Spagnuolo. "What I do know is that it causes a person to be disoriented and lose their equilibrium resulting in a nauseous feeling in their stomach." More troubling to Spagnuolo is the "Active Denial System" or "ADS," a ray gun used to send high levels of microwave frequencies that cause a burning sensation the skin. He described ADS as an "indiscriminate weapon" and said "there's no long-term testing on what happens to the body when exposed to those kinds of microwave frequencies." "We're the ones who're supposed to be saying 'Burn, baby, burn!' It's just wrong, man!" Spagnuolo believes that Raytheon, the company that manufactures the weapon, is planning to test a limited-range civilian version on protesters in Denver before approving its use in places like Iraq. Spagnuolo said he believes tactics like these are excessive. "I think spending millions of dollars on weapon technologies to be used on people in our community is completely wrong," he said. |

| #14 It's perfectly harmless, as long as you wear tin foil on top of your Depends. |

| #13 Mythbusters fairly conclusively proved the brown note phenomenon is a myth. Adam looked pretty cute in his adult diaper while surrounded by subwoofers. |

| #12 So.... Uh.... how can you tell the difference between a normal hippie and one who has undergone the 'Brown Note' treatment? Do the treated ones smell better? |

| #6 #4 "there's no long-term testing on what happens to the body when exposed to those kinds of microwave frequencies." They become CONSERVATIVES ? |

| #5 So far, its been good old fashioned police tactics, shield and batons. Jeez and I thought the John Bricher's were off in their own little wolrd... what a strange an odious place in which these people choose to live. Spagnolo and his mooks are so paranoid and schizoprhenic (detached from reality), that they might really be in need of hospitalization and treatment instead of arrest. They actually believe all that "brown ray" and conspiracy stuff? |

| #3 They didn't mention the nano-trackers that can be implanted with just your average inoculation gear. :) |

| #2 A Fox reporter, Steve Harrigan, volunteered to have it tested on him to prove it wasn't too cruel to use on terrorists. He lived to tell about it. |

| #1 Actually the brown note would improve the smell of the hippies. |
