USATODAY.com - Inventor creates soundless sound system

"Elwood "Woody" Norris pointed a metal frequency emitter at one of perhaps 30 people who had come to see his invention. The emitter — an aluminum square — was hooked up by a wire to a CD player. Norris switched on the CD player.
There's no speaker, but when I point this pad at you, you will hear the waterfall," said the 63-year-old Californian.
And one by one, each person in the audience did, and smiled widely.
Norris' HyperSonic Sound system has won him an award coveted by inventors — the $500,000 annual Lemelson-MIT Prize. It works by sending a focused beam of sound above the range of human hearing. When it lands on you, it seems like sound is coming from inside your head.
Norris said the uses for the technology could come in handy — in cars, in the airport or at home.
"Imagine your wife wants to watch television and you want to read a book, like the intellectual you are," he said to the crowd. "Imagine you are a lifeguard or a coach and you want to yell at someone, he'll be the only one to hear you."
---------------------------------------------------
Consider the uses, in the hands of the people who brought us the Soviet trials of 1937, or the POW camps in North Korea in the 1950s, or the Cultural Revolution in China, or the current prison hells of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay ...
1. Mind control and brainwashing
2. Torture
3. Induction of psychosis
4. Induction of new religious and political beliefs
and so forth.
Here is a sales page for the technology ...

Naturally, they just talk about the "nice" uses of the technology.

"Why HSS?
There are many reasons. The first and most important is the ability to direct or focus sound into a tight beam, similar to the beam of light from the flashlight described above. No other audio reproduction device available today provides this unique ability. The opportunities for applying this characteristic to the reproduction of sound are limitless. Think about the ability in a museum to direct the narration about a specific display only to the people standing directly in front of it. How about the potential to reflect the rear channels of your surround TV from the rear wall of your living room, by focusing HSS speakers mounted on the TV itself - no rear speakers, no rear wiring. Think about the ability to focus sound into a crowd of people on a football field and talk only to a selected few.
The following contains a brief list of other uses made possible by HSS:
- Automobiles - HSS announcement device in the dash to "beam" alert signals directly to the driver
- Audio/Video Conferencing - project the audio from a conference in four different languages, from a single central device, without the need for headphones
- Paging Systems - direct the announcement to the specific area of interest
- Retail Sales - provide targeted advertising directly at the point of purchase
- Drive Through Ordering - intelligible communications directly with an automobile driver without bothering the surrounding neighbors
- Safety Officials - portable "bull horn" type device for communicating with a specific person in a crowd of people
- Military Applications - ship to ship communications, ship-board announcements"

This story surfaced first on a conservative Anglican list several weeks ago, and respondent #1 said:
"As a premillenial, pretribulational Christian I see this new device as a potential tool for the Antichrist to carry out his satanic delusion when he comes on the scene. Already there is the ability to make images appear in the sky or in a room through optical technology that most people are ignorant of. The ability to send delusional experiences has become as easy as having the right equipment in the 21st century."
To which Respondent #2 replied:
"It seems someone needs some education in how to read the Apocalypse."
Let me make my response perfectly clear.
1. Premillennial pretribulationism, the eschatological belief system that underlies the Left Behind books, is a heretical innovation that arose first among Protestants in the UK in the 1830s.
2. Nevertheless, there are some things that the premill/pre-trib people have right ... according to Catholic tradition.
Christ will return again in glory to judge the living and the dead.
Before His return, there will be a global tribulation and a global persecution of the People of God.
The persecution will be led by an evil leader ... as symbolized in Rev. 13.
Here are the relevant citations from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, published in the 1990s by Pope John Paul II:
Catechism of the Catholic Church - IntraText
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P1V.HTM
"The Church's ultimate trial
675 Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers.573 The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth574 will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. the supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.575
676 The Antichrist's deception already begins to take shape in the world every time the claim is made to realize within history that messianic hope which can only be realized beyond history through the eschatological judgement. the Church has rejected even modified forms of this falsification of the kingdom to come under the name of millenarianism,576 especially the "intrinsically perverse" political form of a secular messianism.577
677 The Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this final Passover, when she will follow her Lord in his death and Resurrection.578 The kingdom will be fulfilled, then, not by a historic triumph of the Church through a progressive ascendancy, but only by God's victory over the final unleashing of evil, which will cause his Bride to come down from heaven.579 God's triumph over the revolt of evil will take the form of the Last Judgement after the final cosmic upheaval of this passing world.580"
The pre-mill, pre-trib respondent was right: this technology, and worse, will be used by the coming tyrants to remold mankind and to attempt to draw all away from God.
3. Denial - including a glib dismissal of the apocalyptic parts of the New Testament - is not conducive to spiritual health.
4. I am not venturing a time table, but the social/political/military trends all point to -- at best -- the immediate future resembling 1914-1945 rather than the "good times" of the 1950s or the 1990s. And if there is a world war and global "regime change," all bets are off.

Whatever the solution may be, it begins with prayer -- including prayer for our enemies and persecutors.
Kyrie eleison.
