Fed gov’t approved use of directed energy weapons on January 6 protesters, BLM riots: report

 WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The federal government has approved the use of “directed-energy weapons” on American soil to quell domestic riots, including Black Lives Matter (BLM) events and the January 6, 2021 protest at the U.S. Capitol, according to Blaze investigative journalists Steve Baker and Joseph Hanneman.

DE weapons are a catchall designation for “high-energy lasers, high-power radio frequency or microwave devices, and charged or neutral particle beam weapons,” according to National Defense University Press. “This concentrated energy can have effects across the entire spectrum from non-lethal to lethal.” When used on human targets, effects can induce feelings of disorientation, illness, or even violence, and their use by hostile powers against Americans has been suspected of long-term health effects and disability. 

On January 7, The Blaze reported that a “highly placed source” told them that retired Gen. Mark A. Milley, one of returning President Donald Trump’s former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “told a small group in October of 2024, ‘We had directed-energy weapons at Lafayette Park in June 2020’ to be used against rioters.” Whether they were actually used is not yet known.
