Mind control waves, man. Mind control! You're not blocking electromagnetic waves. You are blocking brain waves.

If you don't have any tin foil, you could opt for the wet cloth wrapped around your head, like Arnold Schwarzennager used in the movie, Total Recall.

The tinfoil hat idea is wrong-headed. You should really be using a radio wave absorbing material as in "Stealth" aircraft rather than a reflecting material. This is not rocket science, it was in my electromagnetism course decades ago. IIRC, a conducting surface reflects radio waves, an insulating material partially reflects with opposite phase. For a certain value of conductivity these cancel out to give zero reflection. If anyone cares I will look it up to see IIRC.

In the meantime you could go with the wet cloth as Falconfluffery mentions, you could wear a belt pack with a water bottle like joggers use to keep it wet.

I think the amplification effect must be due to the radio waves getting in under the hat. A solution would be to cover your entire body with foil. Aluminum or copper screen should work just as well for wavelengths of concern and would be more "breathable" although still not very comfortable.

The MIT foil hat study

Unread postby uNkNowN ElEmEnt » Tue 15 Nov 2005, 12:41:47

Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals.

Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC).

Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We speculate that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.

Interesting. One limitation of the MIT study is that they focused on simple radio waves, rather than the psychotronic radio waves used in mind-control. Waves of this frequency radiate from all electrical outlets and power lines in my neighborhood. The government agencies which have reverse engineered alien technology obviously funded the MIT study as dis-information. The evidence that aluminum foil amplifies certain frequencies is frightening, but please notice how they are shifting attention to aluminum foil (which obviously do not work as well) rather than the much more effective original tin-foil hat. Notice how it is hard to find true tin-foil. Coincidence? Conspiracy? Cunning distraction? I'll let you decide. I am having better luck with a variety of carbon impregnated anti-static film hats of my own design. By better results I mean that the voices they send are quieter, and that they have trouble tracking me when I walk quickly while humming or singing.

Tin Foil - market drop on Super Tuesday to help Mitt

Unread postby seahorse » Wed 06 Feb 2008, 00:36:41

In the ongoing US primary elections, the Republican party has had a very big rift develop between the Romney camp and the McCain camp. Many right wing talk shows, all of them in fact, have now backed Romney and turned on McCain saying McCain is not a true conservative. This, despite the fact that McCain is known for his very hawkish stance on Iraq, Iran etc.

So, McCains strength is as a "war president" and Romney is viewed as the economic guy. This primary election will be decided today, on a day known as Super Tuesday in the States, bc so many states are having their primary elections.

On this key day in the primaries, we see the biggest drop in the dow yet this year. If it is true that there is a plunge protection team, is it not plausible they would engineer a drop to aid Romney? Is it coincidence that on a day the market drops so much that "economics" is first on the voters mind as they voted today?

Economy on the minds of the voters

In addition, if you look at all the other market drops this year, they occured immediately after a big state primary or on the day of a primary. Coincidence?

Just something to think about.

Not really, no.

The market went down because new data out this morning showed the service sector of the economy is doing poorly.

There is no evidence to suggest the "plunge protection team" you are fantasizing about is capable of causing the entire service sector of the economy to contract for the past three months. Its much more likely that the US economy is contracting as we trend towards a recession.

That's much too rational. On PO.com, every event has to be caused somehow by them.

IMO, hell no. The final act has already been determined.

McCain will get the republican nomination precisely for the purpose of losing to the Clinton/Obama ticket. (Remember that we have to have a "D" president now, after eight years of an "R" president to give the impression that something changed.)

IMO, we are witnessing the sleaziest, most rigged presidential election in US history. Even more so than the last two. It will be especially disgusting to watch Hillary and Obama "makeup" as Hillary announces Obama as her running mate.

Didn't help much. Romney got his clock cleaned. McCain is a shoo-in now.

Romney only has a few more delegates than that goofball new-earth creationist baptist preacher. He's history.

I remember reading that Mitt Romney, or the Romney Group, bought Clear Channel communications for about $1 billion.

That was a couple of months ago: Google search result: Romney Clear Channel

I wonder if that affected various talk show hosts' agendas, since most of the so called conservative talk shows are on Clear Channel stations?

I believe it did. How could it not?

Tinfoil Hat Styles

Unread postby BigTex » Thu 21 Feb 2008, 00:56:09

I'm not sure what the purpose of tinfoil hats is, but is there an ideal coverage area? Are ear covers useful? What about a baseball cap-style bill. Would that help?

I assume that a tinfoil visor would not be useful.

I guess the idea is to have some kind of barrier to electromagnetic energy or maybe low levels of radiation. OTOH, wouldn't the tinfoil make it harder for the brain to cool itself? As I understand, optimal brain functioning occurs within a very limited temperature range. Wouldn't the reflection of the radiant heat off the head actually make a person able to think LESS clearly?

I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the tinfoil hat thing, and its intended purpose.
