Re: From Skepticism to Science

[Guest guest]

I wonder, too, if " hitting the wall " is descriptive of driving into an

area of extremely high electromagnetic waves such as shown in my

attachment. With cell towers, GPS systems, GWEN towers, we're being

bombarded with high intensity EMWs - literally being cooked from the

inside out.
