Title: Here comes TETRA
Post by: on Thu 30/03/2006 20:12:48
Just a quick opinion, but has anyone heard of TETRA? It's technology being incorporated definitely into the UK - that will allow police to operate little PDA's and so forth. Only thing is, it runs on some wicked frequencies - ones that can tap into our brainwaves.

You may or may not have heard about the "Pandora Project", a government scheme during World War II using these specific frequencies that operate at the same level as our brains, to induce sickness, dementia & paranoia on people. I don't have conclusive proof that those kind of tactics were really used - but they sound pretty dangerous.

Quote
The TETRA system pulses at 17.6 Hz broadcast at 400 MHz which is essentially the Pandora Project funded by the CIA in the late '60s and early '70s. Dr Ross Adey, the chief researcher on the Pandora Project has released a video to leading UK researchers which proves that not only does the TETRA system cause ELF zombification by massive release of calcium ions in the cerebral cortex and the nervous system, but the activated calcium ions also cause massive hormonal disturbances which lead to frenzied imbalances, emotional and physical states......

Ã,  Ã,  Use of the TETRA system by the police will lead to psychotronicaly controlled officers who may be totally controlled in any situation and are very useful for states of economic or social chaos where extreme and violent behaviour is needed without any conscious or moral compunction - so-called police robots.

The not so secret secret report is here: http://www.rense.com/general60/tetra.htm

So I'm really just interested to know if anyone else has been following this up or thinking about it (Im making a movie about it at the moment). There was another slightly strange article which I thought could be linked to TETRA (or bird flu!), the BBC website today reports:

Quote
"We had an odd one the other day," he says, "200 starlings fell out of the sky, dead, onto the M65. We thought it was bird flu but they'd just flown too near a power line or something. Luckily the delays weren't that bad."

Which to me is bullshit, because birds can SIT on power lines. If they had "flown" too near to a power line and died then doesn't that make it a health risk to the public??! Last night I spotted several dead birds in the area, on the ground with their feet in the air. They hadn't been run over, it appeared to me they had been stunned, or fallen out of the sky. Weird!! Maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions, but it does seem pretty odd to me. We have an (as of yet) un-operational TETRA tower in our town. I'm looking forward to the "zombiefication" of our peoples ;)

ALSO, I'm a little bit wary about this whole digital switch - if you hadn't heard, all analogue TV's in the UK that currently have BBC1, 2, ITV, C4 and C5 - will no longer exist. They are killing those frequencies and from there on we will have to have freeview or some form of digital TV. Did you know you will still have to pay a TV license, even though we may never watch the channels our license pays for? Again, and I could be jumping to conclusions, but perhaps this is linked to TETRA - because those frequencies would certainly mess up TV signals.

Birds can sit on power lines if they don't touch the ground line. It is a matter of potential difference (as in volts).
All kinds of sound/radio/light waves have can and have been used as weapons.

Good point, biothlebop - even more reason why 200 of them shouldn't just be dropping out the sky for flying "near" one.

Yes, it seems strage indeed. It must have been a flock of thousands of birds flying through that line to be true.

You sound paranoid, but if you were paranoid, IT WOULD BE SUPPORTING YOUR THEORY *gasp*

but it really does all sound silly.

As long as someone is policeing the police, and the information is available, you should be safe with TETRA.
The police has in my eyes a less secretive image than three letter american agencies, and if those waves should prove harmful to the public, it ought to be the end of TETRA.

I've been meaning to stock up on anti-zombie equipment (you know, aerosols with lighters, air rifles, cricket bat, body armour - which I saw on eBay- and of course some kind of hat) and this is all the motivation I need.

Oh yeah, I'll need a tinfoil hat as well. And a pair of pliers to remove all my fillings.

Tetra doesn't intefere with TV in any way, analogue or digital. Also, the analogue switchoff will let there be more digital channels, as the analogue channels take up the frequencies that could be used by 20 or so digital channels.

The licence fee is more a way to ensure that the government doesn't pay the BBC money from normal taxation, ensuring greater independence. It is really a poll tax, since almost everyone has a TV and it doesnt matter which channels they watch already. The "Dont watch BBC" argument has been going since ITV started...

Also, speaking as an Electrical Engineer the whole thing of tetra zombies sounds bollocks. Also, Tetra is already used by Dolphin telecom over most of the UK for commercial despatch, etc. and we're not zombies yet. This shows their coverage from 3 years ago: http://www.maximonsolutions.com/dolphincoverage.html

Sounds like Stephen King's latest novel...

Well, Mark did note down that he's making a movie of it...

Maybe we should ask percentage profits, when the movie's out ;D

That was sarcastic.. He actually did write a novel called "Cell" about a strange frequency sent through every cell phone that turns people into zombies.

I actualy want to read it, just because I am a zombiehead

Looks like he ripped off the plot from Zak McKracken, then.

So that's what happened to me yesterday. I felt so slow and tired all day.
