Military intelligence,   or ...
An exercise in oxymoronic futility!

by Don Nash, Unknown News      February 19, 2008

The United States military is secretly working on a new and improved taser. The new and improved military version of the old reliable taser will be a “nuclear”
model. This baby will literally melt your socks off if’n you happen to get tased by someone using it. The military has dubbed this new wonder, the ‘neutron baton’. Wow, that’s kind of catchy.

Now, the military has been out and about this new and improved taser for sometime and our pals in the military are planning field tests for their ‘neutron baton’ at the upcoming conventions being staged this summer by the Republicons and the Democraps. Anyone with any ideas about getting rowdy or anarchistic at the conventions, will be met with a military field test that just might change one’s total perspective in a blink. ZZZHHTT! Yikes. You know that has got to smart.

Now, you just might be asking yourself how a foolish buffoon such as myself might be privy to secret military testing of nuclear tasers. Well, I’m going to tell you all about it. Shish, did you think that I’d make something like this up?

My pal Fig ‘Scroats’ Newton is a reservist in the US military. We’s neighbors. Well, out here in the Gaza Strip, Utah/Nevada a neighbor just might be only 50 or 60 miles down the road but we’s neighbors all the same. Proximity is as an approximation does in these parts.

Scroats is in the Reserves and he’s fixin’ to get his arse shipped out for Islamic parts unknown in about a month or so. Scroats is involved in any of a number of military this-and-thats and some of it he can talk about and some of it he can only hint at. The nuclear taser is one of those things that he can “almost” talk about, and me and Scroats being pals and all, he tells me stuff. Yeah, what he said.

So, the military has miniaturized a nuclear reactor that just fits inside a handheld taser. Criminy, ain’t the freaking US military just a veritable model of high-tech efficiency? Damn straight they are. In about ten, fifteen years, just about any Amerikan will be able to purchase a mini-reactor for their own personal use, but for now Amerika will have

I can vouch for the credibility of Scroats Newton.

He's a decorated war hero.

Scroats was wounded in the Battle of the Kandahar Cluster Fuck, so obviously, Scroats is a standup guy and knows what the hell he’s talking about.

And if anyone is thinking about making stupid or getting violently jiggy with the powers that be at this year’s upcoming presidential candidates’ coronation ceremonies, well, one just might want to think about it.

Twice!

Maybe three or four times.
to satisfy itself with the comforting knowledge that the US military has developed and implemented a freaking nuclear taser and the military is to field test the thing at the upcoming political conventions this summer.

Now, I can vouch for the credibility of Scroats Newton. He's a decorated war hero. Scroats was wounded in the Battle of the Kandahar Cluster Fuck, and decorated for ‘bravery and quick thinking in action and under fire’ by the US military. According to Scroats, there was a friendly fire incident with Pakistani intelligence operatives that started a miserably depressing dust-up, and the US military had to go in and clean up the freaking mess and Scroats got caught in the crossfire of the clean up. He refers to his medal as his cluster fucking clean-up badge.

So obviously, Scroats is a standup guy and knows what the hell he’s talking about. And if anyone is thinking about making stupid or getting violently jiggy with the powers that be at this year’s upcoming presidential candidates’ coronation ceremonies, well, one just might want to think about it. Twice! Maybe three or four times.

You heard it here first: The US military is planning to field test some brand spanky new riot controlling gear, and opposition to Amerika’s status quo won’t be tolerated, it'll be used as the excuse necessary to nuke the bejesus out of all those pesky dissident types that most of mainstream Amerika finds so utterly deplorable.

Scroats tells me that the new and improved taser leaves one hell of a mark. The lasting effects include and are not limited to ‘glow in the dark’ scarring and some burning nausea that lingers for days and days. He also tells me that one of the military applications includes the ability for the “user” to use the neutron baton with one hand while simultaneously triggering the start mechanism for a new military riot shotgun that fires pepper spray cluster bombs that have been miniaturized for just such a riot controlling drill. After all, Amerika, this is military-industrial application of new technologies at it’s very best. Golly, this almost leaves any Amerikan proud as proud can be. Gosh, Amerika is Number One!
