Respectfully, I suggest that before criticizing anything out-of-hand, look into it deeply, sir. You can easily research directed energy weapons on the websites of major arms corporations, such as McDonnell-Douglas and Raytheon. Many nations have them. What requires much more “mental gymnastics” is understanding how the American people can be so gaslit and so damn gullible about the true nature of our government and our press. And actually, you should be impressed that some citizens do not practice knee-jerk acceptance of official narratives.
