    i’m with on everything except “energy weapons”… it’s too vague
    i mean, a gun is also an energy weapon.
    i was referring to more recent Snowden revelations… they would do weird shit like cancel people’s dinner reservations while surveilling them… not quite the full gaslighting but still pretty upsetting….

    • When I say “Energy Weapon”, I’m referring to this:

      From Wikipedia:

      A directed-energy weapon (DEW) is a ranged weapon that damages its target with highly focused energy without a solid projectile, including lasers, microwaves, particle beams, and sound beams.
