UV LIGHT DIRECTED ENERGY ATTACK ALERT: From Mike Adams, lab science director, CWC Labs. Immediately forward to all. It is now nearly certain that a recent attack impacting attendees of a Trump rally in Arizona was carried out via the deployment of a handheld UV laser device, battery powered, silent, and invisible to the naked eye. The symptoms of those impacted are fully consistent with such a directed energy attack: Temporarily loss of vision, sunburns on exposed skin, skin peeling, extreme eye pain, redness, etc. Yet all victims felt nothing during the moments of exposure. TECHNICAL DETAILS – PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT – UV lasers in the wavelengths of 280nm – 315nm are considered “UV-B” and are extremely dangerous to the human eye, as the optics of the eye add significant “gain” to incoming photons, in orders of magnitude. When UV lasers are deployed as weapons at indoor events, the subjects’ pupils are dilated due to lower indoor lighting (compared to outdoor lighting, during which pupils are constricted), allowing orders of magnitude amplification of incoming light, even if invisible. High intensity UV light causes permanent retinal damage / scarring / blindness. The malicious deployment of handheld UV lasers in an indoor environment would be UNDETECTABLE during the attack, and it could cause permanent blindness via extreme retinal damage. Importantly, UV lasers in this wavelength range are NOT visible on night vision optics or camera optics which can pick up IR illumination such as 980nm. Handheld lasers have their own on board optics. Beam spread is described in milliradians (mils). A tighter beam hits fewer intended targets, but with higher energy density. A wider beam spread causes the energy emissions to be spread out and therefore less dense. But all lasers emit coherent light, so the beam maintains its shape over extremely long distances. With sufficient power, a handheld UV laser device deployed with malicious intent and sufficient power could cause blindness from 500 yards or even farther, if exposure is maintained over several tens of seconds. A malicious person deploying a UV laser would have a very difficult time accurately aiming it due to the beam being invisible. Therefore, all security personnel and LEOs should look for members of crowds who are holding up linear-looking devices and attempting to aim down the primary linear axis of such devices, for example if a person appears to be carrying a large cylindrical flashlight, and appears to be trying to “aim” down the primary axis of that flashlight, they may actually be aiming an invisible UV laser at an intended target. Similarly, UV lasers could be attached alongside media-looking camera equipment, so that a person who appears to be holding up a camera to film an event could actually be deploying a UV laser with malicious intent. DETECTION: Night vision optics cannot detect. Very sensitive, high resolution thermal cameras *may* pick up elevated surface skin temperatures as UV rays strike the faces, chests, eyes, etc., of intended victims, and this temperature rise would appear in the shape of a very large circle, perhaps 15′ in diameter, entirely depending on the milliradians of the laser optics and the distance of the assailant (think of a narrow spotlight, and the farther away the assailant, the larger the spotlight becomes due to distance, but the weaker it gets also). To find malicious actors deploying such devices – FORWARD THIS TO RELEVENAT FEDERAL LEOs – US Secret Service should be checking for suspicious purchases of extremely high-powered laser diodes (in the Watts range, not just milliwatts) from China or other sources, in the 250nm – 315nm wavelength range, and understanding that 254nm is widely considered “germicidal,” which means there are many purchases of such UV laser diodes by hospitals and medical applications, especially in the post-COVID world, so it may be extremely difficult to separate a malicious purchase of UV laser devices from legitimate medical purchases. I am available to brief law enforcement or Trump’s security team on further technical details, as I am a published laboratory scientist and I researched UV-based laser ablation applications for ICP-MS elemental analysis of geological samples (part of a meteor impact project we were looking at). Team Trump will know how to reach me through various contacts, if needed. I currently have no direct contact with Team Trump, which is why I’m issuing this public warning in the interests of Trump’s safety and public safety. NOTE: Protective glasses can be readily purchased to block specific wavelengths of light, including UV wavelengths. In fact, most popular sunglasses block most UV. Thus, there are readily available protective mechanisms which may be strongly recommended to be worn by Trump or people attending his rallies. I strongly encourage everyone to take necessary precautions. Actually wearing sunblock will also, of course, block UV damage on the skin, but the eyes are the most important organ to protect in this context. Thus, wearing shades even at an INDOOR event now makes very good tactical sense. More details later if I get them.

Several commenters said one of the spotlights could have been the source of possible directed energy attack at the Trump rally. Attacks of all types can and do happen. This is credible information. ABN
