Art Bell begins with open lines covering the Iraq war, solar eruptions of unprecedented magnitude, and rapid climate change evidence from Peru where a flash-frozen plant reveals catastrophic environmental shifts from 5,000 years ago. He shares his own story of building a directional antenna to intercept a neighbor's cordless phone conversations as revenge, setting up the theme of electronic surveillance and privacy invasion.
Roger Tolces, a Los Angeles private investigator specializing in electronic countermeasures, joins to discuss the evolving landscape of surveillance technology. He describes cell phone bugs that transmit conversations globally through the cellular network, the CALEA law that pre-wired all American phones for government wiretapping, and the disturbing revelation that cell phones track geographic movements even when not in active calls. At a PI convention, a forensic specialist recovered over 800,000 supposedly deleted files from a used laptop, demonstrating that digital deletion is an illusion.
The conversation turns to weaponized microwave technology, including a modified microwave oven used to irradiate apartment neighbors and a 50,000-watt microwave rifle kit available through plans online. Tolces connects these threats to the symptoms reported by hundreds of people who contact him claiming electronic harassment, many of whom he believes are genuine victims of covert experimentation under Title 50 provisions.
