and antenna strengths, meaning a higher penetration rate of buildings and bodies than higher
frequency microwaves. (For more on cell phones, including 5G, go to Chapter 10.)

Terahertz waves (1 THz = 10 ) are submillimeter waves between the microwave and
infrared, which means tremendously high frequency (100 GHz – 10 THz). Naturally, they’re in
solar and cosmic radiation; in Chapter 1, I mentioned that specific THz frequencies have
contributed to spontaneous abortions and miscarriages among aircrew. Telecoms use THz for
network backbones and broadcasting super-high definition 4K television signals with cameras in
41
the THz spectrum. Cellular and Wi-Fi networks depend on microwaves in the gigahertz (your
cell phone operates at 2.4 GHz), but THz radiation will kick what we’re exposed to up to 1000
GHz.
Not surprisingly, THz waves like the millimeter waves in TSA airport scanners that “alter”
42
DNA are categorized as non-ionizing and therefore not harmful. While it is true that THz
photons cannot break chemical bonds or ionize atoms or molecules like higher energy photons
can (X-rays, UV rays), their nonlinear resonant effects in devices like the terahertz imaging
43
detection (TID) camera can “unzip” double-stranded DNA. Thus millions are daily subjected
to terahertz lasers in TIDs at TSA checkpoints, supposedly to detect anything blocking the
energy radiating from a body up to sixteen feet away and determine its chemical composition. 44
Are TIDs probing like fMRIs do, given that fMRIs also utilize THz laser?

The use of light to peer into the brain is almost certainly that of terahertz, which occurs in the wavelengths between
30mm and 1 mm of the electromagnetic spectrum. Terahertz has the ability to penetrate deep into organic materials
without the damage associated with ionizing radiation such as x-rays. . .Terahertz can penetrate bricks and also human
skulls. . .Medically, even if terahertz does not ionize, we do not yet know how the sustained application of intense
light will affect the delicate workings of the brain and how cells might be damaged, dehydrated, stretched,
45
obliterated.

The terahertz wave extends the microwave and millimeter wavebands and therefore
massively expands not just communications but targeting possibilities.

If cellphones on a current “4G” network can download data at 10 to 15 megabits per second, terahertz technology can
potentially send data back and forth at terabits per second (or millions of megabits per second). . .some researchers
46
have already achieved lightning download speeds with wireless terahertz chips . . .

The military-industrial-intelligence complex favors terahertz waves because they offer the
most secure form of communications transmission. At-a-distance interception of transmissions is
not possible with THz; if a digitally encrypted communication is intercepted by those lacking the
proper codes, the THz wave will simply drop off and shut down, which makes it perfect for
“confined” digital upper-band (GHz) satellite phone systems.

The beamlike properties of THz emission reduce the ability of distant adversaries to intercept these transmissions. The
adversary may even lack the technological capability to detect, intercept, jam, or “spoof” a THz signal. In addition,
atmospheric attenuation allows covert short-range communications, since these signals simply will not propagate to
distant listening posts. 47

Because terahertz lies between the electric and photonic (microwave and infrared),
astrophysicists have been a driving force behind developing terahertz technologies that can
detect plasma spectra (e.g., the far infrared wavelength is 15μm – 1 mm with a range of 20 THz
to 300 GHz). THz frequencies are extensively employed in satellite-to-satellite communications
