NASA Engineer Discusses Satellite Weapons, Civilian Abuse
And Military Technology Used On American Citizens

By John Richardson
10-3-19
Deeply informative and compelling discussion and disclosure with Richard Lighthouse, NASA engineer with degrees in science and engineering from Stanford University, as well as independent research in theoretical physics, who shares the current discoveries he has made from his research of patents and military programs, of USAF Space Command being putatively involved in the use since the 1980s of sophisticated Star Wars satellite weapons systems used secretly and without public knowledge in political monitoring, surveillance, and remote electromagnetic anti-personnel assault of civilians worldwide.

Sharing his discoveries of patents, and pointing viewers to information posted already at Technologies on  TargetedJustice.com , a new human rights organization dedicated to exposing and addressing the criminal abuse of military technologies on civilians, Mr. Lighthouse delineates a timeline of weapon creation, patent recording and attribution (to the USAF), and subsequent seamless withdrawal of weapons into “classified” or “National Security” compartments, in tandem with public and documented reports of civilians reporting remote electromagnetic assault on their person from satellites, starting with well-known American citizen Harlan Girard.

Given the wide reports of abusive electromagnetic anti-personnel technology use on civilians worldwide currently, Richard Lighthouse also discusses other weapons systems such as magnetrons used in conjunction with satellite GPS tracking and cell towers, smart meters, and portable weapons. Additionally, he addresses information emerging newly from perusing lawsuits and ACLU reports related to the FBI’s Known and Suspected Terrorist List program, which wrongfully lists innocent civilians to be considered “Non-Investigative Subjects” and coded “Silent Hit.” More on this subject may be found at Targeted  Justice.com.

WATCH OUT

Mental Health Support Teams Are Coming After YOU

We will ALL be labeled mentally ill if we do not agree with the illusion . .

Armed with Grant Money, OUR MONEY, which is increasing city debt obligations, the cities will “hunt” for more revenue. Our pockets will be reached into (pick-pocket-like) for additional taxes. Our cost of living will go sky high and we will require mental treatment for being depressed and unable to survive. We are being asset stripped and if we crack up under the stress of the economic hit teams of the Rothschild Gang we will be restrained by mental health programs for our safety while being exploited and made homeless.

We must be resilient – and if we are not able to handle the continual loss we will be given mental support which will include data tracking, crisis intervention, mobile crisis and intervention teams assisted by law enforcement.

We MUST remain sane in this growing world of insanity or WE will be restrained for our safety!

Santa Ana Winds Return to California Bringing Wildfire Danger

The Santa Ana winds have returned to California, a signal to the state’s residents that the wildfire season has begun in earnest.
The winds are created by high pressure over Nevada’s Great Basin as cool weather starts to arrive in the Fall. Low pressure systems in warmer California pull them along, and as they flow through the Sierra Nevadas and other ranges, twisting their way through narrow passes and canyons, they heat up, lose moisture and gain speed.
Let’s be clear – this article omits the facts of weather weapons. We are heavily sprayed overhead with fresh accelerants aka geoengineering, aka chemtrails just prior to fires being intentionally set.
The article continues:
Once they hit California, their low humidity and high heat can quickly turn the bushy chaparral into an explosive fuel source. It’s part of the reason that California accounted for 92% of all insured wildfire losses in the U.S. from 2008 to 2018, according to insurer Munich Re. Colorado was second with 3%.
Manipulated weather to induce high wind speeds:
“The high winds cause the fires to spread incredibly rapidly,” according to Mark Bove, a natural catastrophe solutions manager at Munich Re. In some cases, he said, they have burned at the equivalent of “one football field per minute,” driven by the wind.
They also “cause more severe types of fire behavior,” Bove said, spurring “fire tornadoes or whirls” where the blazes move speedily from the ground to the tree tops.
In 2018, this behavior helped feed 6,284 fires that destroyed 876,147 acres in the state, while the so-called Camp Fire alone killed 86 people, making it the deadliest wildfire in state history. In response, California has set aside $1 billion for fire-prevention, and set up a $21 billion insurance fund to pay for future blazes sparked by utility company equipment.
Long known as Santa Anna winds in Southern California, similar winds are called “diablos” in northern California. Whatever the name, the winds have haven’t been a good combination with California’s local utilities.
 
Utilities run by Rothschild LLC and associates.
 
A series of wind-driven fires sparked by PG&E Corp. equipment forced the utility to seek bankruptcy protection in January. The company said it faced liabilities of $30 billion or more from claims tied to the fires that destroyed tens of thousands of structures and killed more than 100 people.
So far this year, wildfires haven’t done the level of damage seen in previous years. Through Sept. 8, 3,993 fires have burned about 36,683 in the state, substantially below the 271,740 five-year average, according to the California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection.
But much is at stake: Across California, 240,580 homes remain at extreme risk from fires, according to a new study from CoreLogic, a property data company in Irvine, California.
“During the Santa Anas, the hottest temperatures can be right at the ocean,” said Eric Boldt, warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Los Angeles. “That is why these fires can burn all the way to the ocean.”

Cumulative Radiation – Veterans Today | Military 

Foreign Affairs Policy Journal for Clandestine 

Services

EXCERPT:
I won’t try to kid you with good news lies and made up “fake facts.” Bottom-line, this is way too much radiation for humans to take.

Look at the Table of Poisoned American Cities, Million a Week, January 1, 2018 to August 3, 2019, or 13,920 Hours, Published August 17, 2019, Gamma and Beta CPM by City and State in the USA

Scroll Right and Left with the Arrow Keys. Change Pages at Bottom of Table. There are 10 Pages.

Targeted Individuals by Area – It is the number of Targeted Individuals by Area for the ongoing radiation kill in America.

Are you included in the kill numbers and just don’t know it yet? Look and see!

All nuke power plants leak radiation; the nukes leak on purpose. The Rad cannot be contained; they are built that way. Also, the nuke power plants cannot be sued.

The rich owners think the trade-off for your health and life is worth the money. I do not.

No Agency will tell you this. All physicists know this is true. Their jobs depend on their not telling you. What a world!

Summary
The nearby Targeted Individuals of US nuclear power plants are 160,876,377 people by the official 2010 US Census. The next official census starts in 2020.

The poor souls live within range of a leaking nuclear power plant and catch radiation poisoning.

All nuke power plants leak radiation; the nukes leak on purpose. The Rad cannot be contained; they are built that way. Also, the nuke power plants cannot be sued.

The rich owners think the trade-off for your health and life is worth the money. I do not.

No Agency will tell you this. All physicists know this is true. Their jobs depend on their not telling you. What a world!

The Individuals in the Targeted Area are exposed to the measured Cumulative Gamma Rad this year and in 2018:
Six billion,
five hundred seven million,
seven hundred sixteen thousand,
four hundred fortyCPM.

Or, 6,507,716,440 CPM [Counts Per Minute so far in 2019 Plus 2018.] All cities on the list are measuring excessive radiation.
YTD is short for Year to Date. It means January 1 of the current year to today. CPM is short for Counts Per Minute; also written here as cpm.
https://www.veteranstoday.com/2019/08/17/million-a-week-club-yrtw-2019-30-your-cumulative-radiation/yrtw-2019-30-top-three-cities/

Source RadNet Gamma radiation readings are reported by the Hour throughout the year. Radiation covers the US like a deadly blanket.

That’s 8,760 cpm hourly reports on each city listed in a year. That’s 8,784 cpm hourly reports in a Leap Year.

The Radiation is cumulative so the Total Gamma Radiation continues to increase as long as humans continue to produce the Rads with nuclear power factories and nuclear detonations. One way to measure the Rad became widespread in the States.

That is by measuring, recording and publishing the Total Gamma Radiation at ground level at many locations in the US. Those Rad Numbers are presented here.

https://www.veteranstoday.com/2019/08/17/million-a-week-club-yrtw-2019-30-your-cumulative-radiation/million-a-week-club-yrtw-2019-30/
Continuing the Gamma Rad Count
Starting the Rad Count over at the first of the year is the convention. That is misleading to non-physicists. I reject that standard start-over practice as Silly.

Combined with another column for the Total Rad Count, it paints a grimmer but more complete reality.

I will not abandon the previous year’s Rad Count on January 1, 2019; but continue the count and also list the 2019 bi-weekly (every two weeks) radiation increase.

You can find your town or city’s Cumulative Rad number since January 1, 2018, by Adding the NEW YTD 2019 GAMMA RAD Count to the 2018 Rad Count.

It is absurd to think that Billions of Rad Counts JUST GO AWAY ON JANUARY 1 EACH YEAR.

Get ready; it will rock your world. It’s just reality, y’know.

Last Week
Weekly increases in radiation are way too high a price to pay in deaths and lost health; in addition to just being the Wrong thing to do. Most politicians say nuclear bombs are good.

Note: Colorado Springs data was WITHHELD for 2006 and 2007, and continues to be WITHHELD by the PTB [Powers that Be].

I wonder what really happened around Colorado Springs in 2006 and 2007, don’t you?

Once emitted from the nuclear power plant, the Rad travels with the wind.

Much of it goes around the world and is detected on the West Coast of the United States.

Nuke Power Plants add to the deadly radiation every minute of every day. There are 525,600 total minutes in 2019.

The Rad measured YTD so far in 2019 Plus 2018.] All cities on the list are measuring excessive radiation.

two billion,
three hundred sixteen million,
two hundred sixty-five thousand,
nine hundred one CPM,

Or, 2,316,265,901 CPM YTD.
Dr. John Gofman, Medical Director of the Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab famously called that kind of thing “premeditated murder.”

This nuke stuff gets real serious, real quick. It’s a nasty, nasty business.

“This is a Bad situation for all who breathe,” states EU physicist Dr. Paolo Scampa.[5] Now included all cities above the MaxNormalSafeLevel [27] of deadly Gamma Radiation since the beginning of 2018.

Gamma “Rays” unpublished radioactive kin are a disastrous freebie from the PTB [Powers that Be.] A Count is One Radioactive Decay.

SHOWSTOPPER
Today’s 580-day or 13,920-hour report for January 1, 2018 to August 3, 2019, is another case of Bad news from your RadWeather Report.

I won’t try to kid you with good news lies and made up “fake facts.” Bottom-line, this is way too much radiation for humans to take.

I despise the people-like animals responsible for this worldwide calamity. I will continue the report as long as I am able.

Continue to read and share as long as you are able. Tell your smart friends; the others, not so much; they will not believe you. Above all, be selective.

The Perps knew exactly what they were doing and did it anyway. That’s textbook psychopathic behavior and a whole bucketload of Criminal Acts.

Denial is very strong in Americans; expect it often. Don’t let it get you down; there are millions of folks who know the score on the Rad. Persevere, Find Others. Figure out what to do.

I will measure and characterize our shared demise to the best of my ability. BookMark this article and Sign up for Emails on VeteransToday and my Websites; I’ll keep you advised.

Cell Killers

All cities with RadNet Total Gamma Radiation counters are above the Maximum Safe Gamma Radiation Level.

Their killer attack on your body’s trillions of cells never ceases. It did not used to be that way y’know – back in the day.

There were only four radioactive Isotopes then in existence and their Decay products. They were mostly in the ground.

Today there are 1,946 known radioactive Isotopes in existence in our atmosphere. The known Gamma radioactive Isotopes are measured by RadNet [1] and reported here.

Cell assassins, like Plutonium 239, and its brothers were never around; they did not exist on this Planet.

RadNet has largely stopped reporting radioactive Beta counts. No explanation was given.

What started the whole Rad Counting thing
No mystery there. DC got Zapped. RadNet measured and recorded 7.38 BILLION Beta Radiation Counts in Washington, DC[31] in 2006.

Only a few countries possessed that kind of nuke power for excursions; including the United States of America.

The Perps and/or corporation(s)/country or countries that caused the radiation excursion to occur never have been identified publicly. Speculation varies widely.

Who do you think did it?
Recorded by RadNet, it displayed the real radiation threat to life and limb.

RadNet measures and records Raw Total Gamma Radiation in Counts per Minute and nSv/Hour. Beta Counts are measured and recorded on various occasions.

RadNet started publishing radiation data in 2006. I suspect strongly the nine Nuclear Weapons Labs collected the radiation data for years before 2006.

To date, the Radiation Counts before 2006 are not released to the public.

Max Normal Safe Level

The United States is a very radioactive country now. No cities are below the MaxNormalSafeLevel; all cities are above safe level. This includes cities and towns not on the list.

The raw records of Total Gamma Radiation are easily accessible with a computer and a fast Internet connection at RadNet, a directorate of the EPA. [1]

RadNet simply presents the raw Total Gamma Radiation data. I process the raw data to a useable form.

Use a fast InterNet connection or run the look-ups as a background task. Either way, you get the data yourself.

Good luck on your efforts. As they say, “It’s complicated.”

Conclusion. The amount of Rad in the air now Dooms Humanity to a relatively quick Extinction.
Have a wonderful radioactive weekend and remember to Dodge the Rads, it’s dangerous out there.

WARNING

Home Energy Scores to Rate Home Values 
and REQUIRE Energy Upgrades Costing Thousands 
NOW a REQUIREMENT – Soon for EVERYONE
Everyone will “PAY”
Landlords and ALL Other Property Owners will be forced to retrofit all apartments and buildings

Tenants may find code enforcement will NOT allow occupancy if owners do not have the funds to retrofit as required and tenants could be forced to relocate

Retrofits include and are not limited to:
insulated energy efficient windows,
attic/floor/wall insulation,
eliminate all gas appliances – (additional electrical wiring),
only electric heat and air systems,
electric water heaters,
cool roofs,
wireless smart electric and smart wireless water metering of of all appliances, water faucets, shower heads,
energy saving LED lighting,
wireless thermostats
septic system upgrades or removals,
well water metering (water allocations) and
ALL water run-off from properties into streets and creeks are to be restricted.
Earthquake retrofitting
Energy usage WILL be allocated or NOT consistently available
Increased TAXES
Predatory GREEN Loans for Retrofitting – “Rockefeller” Instigated
Fines and Penalties for Non-Compliance
Increased Forecloses on Property – Property Theft
Neighbor Encouragement to Report on Violations

If your property is considered to be in a flood plain, or in a low lying coastal area, in a fire zone, or other area where climate change destruction is increasing (which is everywhere) you will find it difficult to obtain insurance or worse unable to obtain insurance coverage at all. You will be unable to sell your property. Many people will become climate refugees and forced to relocate, or move into an RV, or tent city as many people are now experiencing – called
HOME-LESS-NESS

This IS NO JOKE!

We have attached a link below to OUR recent video series that WILL explain the larger agenda we all face
EXAMPLE in Portland – Home Energy Score

* Beginning Jan. 1, 2018, home seller’s in Portland, Oregon have been required to get a Home Energy Score, or a HERS home energy rating score.

* Must be completed by licensed Home Energy Assessment contractor prior to listing home for sale

* Intended to help meet Portland’s goal of reducing carbon emissions 40% below 1990 levels and help buyers make more “knowledgeable decisions about the full costs of operating a home.

Enforcement
Any building owner or person who fails, omits, neglects, or refuses to comply with the provisions of this Chapter shall be subject to:

Upon the first violation, the Director may issue a written warning notice to the entity or person, describing the violation and steps required to comply.
If the violation is not remedied within 90 days after issue of written warning notice, the Director may assess a civil penalty of up to $500. For every subsequent 180-day period during which the violation continues, the Director may assess additional civil penalties of up to $500.
What Are You Required To Do With The Energy Score?

Provide a copy of the home energy performance report:

To all licensed real estate agents working on the seller’s behalf;
Have a printed copy available to prospective buyers who visit the home while it is listed publicly for sale; and
To the Director for quality assurance and evaluation of policy compliance; and
Include the Home Energy Performance Score in all real estate listings, including the Home Energy Performance Report
Exemptions

Only the Director of the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability or his or her authorized representative, designee or agent can exempt a property from the requirements.

Building Exemptions:

Vertically stacked units (condos) Insider Comment: This exemption allows the dense housing – smart city housing and excludes rural/country unsustainable and sprawl
Detached ADU’s
Mobile homes
Buildings used primarily for commercial purposes
Selling Exemptions:

A foreclosure sale,
A trustee’s sale,
A deed-in-lieu of foreclosure sale, or
Any pre-foreclosure sale in which seller has reached an agreement with the mortgage holder to sell the property for an amount less than the amount owed on the mortgage.
Undue Hardship Exemptions

The covered building qualifies for sale at public auction or acquisition by a public agency due to arrears for property taxes,
A court appointed receiver is in control of the covered building due to financial distress,
The senior mortgage on the covered building is subject to a notice of default
The low-income qualified seller demonstrates household income is at or below 60 percent of median household income for the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA Metropolitan Statistical Area

The Home Energy Score Report Contains

The home energy performance score and an explanation of the score;
An estimate of the total annual energy used in the home in retail units of energy, by fuel type;
An estimate of the total annual energy generated by on-site solar electric, wind electric, hydroelectric, and solar water heating systems in retail units of energy, by type of fuel displaced by the generation;
An estimate of the total monthly or annual cost of energy purchased for use in the covered building in dollars, by fuel type, based on the current average annual retail residential energy price of the utility serving the covered building at the time of the report and the average annual energy prices of non-regulated fuels, by fuel type, as provided by the Oregon Department of Energy;
The current average annual utility retail residential energy price in dollars, by fuel type, and the average annual energy prices of non-regulated fuels, by fuel type, provided by the Oregon Department of Energy and used to determine the costs described in this section;
At least one comparison home energy performance score that provides context for the range of possible scores. Examples of comparison homes include, but are not limited to, a similar home with Oregon’s average energy consumption, the same home built to Oregon energy code, and the same home with certain energy efficiency upgrades;
The name of the entity that assigned the home energy performance score and that entity’s Construction Contractors Board license number;
The date the building energy assessment was performed

Q. Does this policy harm vulnerable people, like elders on fixed incomes, who may need to sell a home they have lived in for decades?

A. The cost of getting a home energy score is low ($150-$250). The cost of doing an upgrade to increase the total value and selling price of the home, as well as giving the home a better home energy score, ranges from $5,000-$15,000 on average.

The policy will begin to help the market more correctly value homes by clearly recognizing energy costs as a component of the cost of owning a home. In a down market, homes that have below-average home energy scores may not compare as favorably to similar homes that have better energy scores

Q. Will this policy lead to more demolitions of older homes?

A. No. In analyzing all the scores delivered nationwide to date, the U.S. Department of Energy has found a very weak correlation between home vintage and low home energy scores. This means that smaller, older homes will not necessarily score lower than newer homes. DOE found a much stronger correlation between square footage and low home energy scores. This means that larger homes of any age are likely to score lower than smaller homes.

Q. Will this policy help Portland to reduce carbon emissions?

A. Yes. The City of Austin passed an energy audit report disclosure requirement in 2009. The City found that from 2009 to 2011, about 6 percent of homes undertook home energy retrofits as a result of disclosure. To accelerate consumer action in favor of energy upgrades, the City of Austin moved the time of disclosure earlier in the transaction to better inform consumer decision-making. Berkeley also moved its disclosure requirement earlier in the sale process for a similar reason. Portland has learned lessons from the experience in Austin and Berkeley and is thus specifically requiring disclosure at time of listing to maximize the positive benefits of the policy.

OPower (owned by Oracle) provides utility customers with information about their energy use in context to their neighbor’s energy use, similar to the type of comparison provided by the US DOE Home Energy Score. Evaluations of OPower’s business model have demonstrated reliable and persistent energy savings in the range of 1.5-2.5 percent, simply by providing consumers with information on energy use in comparison to their neighbors.
AND……. THE CITY OF BERKELY, CA HAS AN “ENERGY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT”, WHICH HAS WHAT ARE CALLED REGISTERED ENERGY ASSESSORS. THE PROGRAM BEGAN IN DECEMBER, 2015. ONLY ENERGY SERVICE PROVIDERS REGISTERED WITH THE CITY OF BERKELEY (REGISTERED ENERGY ASSESSORS) WILL BE ABLE TO CONDUCT BESO (Building Energy Saving Ordinance) ASSESSMENTS.
