Intelligence reports from preppers around the world.

1. What are you seeing that affects your prepping? Post should be based on something you're actually seeing / experiencing locally. If it is outside of your area / is speculation, prepare to have current and substantial evidence such as multiple and neutral links as to not have the content removed.

2. Post title must have a general description, location / region plus flair. We're not asking or wanting exact locations, just a general idea of where you're talking about in the beginning of the title. It greatly helps people read / filter posts.

3. If your post isn't from your own eyes but affects you, it is encouraged to have evidence. (Links) Recent and up to date links, benefit all and help others understand and contribute to your post.

4. Unconstructive comments may lead to removals or bans. We are here to gather intel, not hate. This includes personal attacks, name calling, pushing politics, religion, racism, sexism, condoning / avocation of violence, trolling, ill will towards others and so on.

5. If you feel that the intel is wrong, link your own recent and relevant intel on the direct subject. If you feel the need to argue back, calmly do so with recent and relevant evidence on the subject. We do not care who you are, or which side you're on, we seek truth and transparency through sheer informational evidence.

If your view isn't backed up, (and at this point likely causing an issue) it may be subject to removal.

User may have a chance to research and find intel to restore their comment after contacting a moderator... Don't make a habit of this.

Subsonic Weapon used on the crowd in Belgrade today, making them react like some kind of magic attacked them (www.reddit.com)

Definitely scary shit.

There are methods that can be used to alleviate the effects of audible offensive weapons, from placards used in protests to some solid shielding otherwise (makeshift riot shield), but for inaudible subsonic weapons, I only have theories based on the way RF works. In short, aluminum foil *should *work to protect from inaudible weapons like shown in the video. If the shield were to be made concave and faced towards its origin, it could end up focusing it back to where it came from as well. "Space blankets" should act as a shield as well without reflecting it back (instead dispersing it).

Isn't there a problem with subsonic audio in that it's really hard to determine the direction it's coming from? Although with a crowd big enough I suppose you could probably get a visual indicator of where the source is based off of people's reaction to it.

Edit: After watching the video I don't really think a person holding a shield would be able to reflect something that was able to clear a space as wide as a street. I'd also wager that the people welding such a weapon likely have the appropriate hearing protection to keep the system from effecting their selves.
