MIT Study Finds Tin Foil Hats Assist CIA Trackers

(From the notebooks of "Jacob Freeze")

So there I was, crouching in a sub-basement in my tin foil hat, thinking the CIA couldn't locate me with the chip they implanted in my brain at birth. I was so wrong!

In research conducted at the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, originally published in 2005 but completely suppressed by the mainstream media, Ali Rahimi, Ben Recht, Jason Taylor, and Noah Vawter discovered that instead of attenuating all radio signals, tin foil hats actually amplify exactly the same waveband used by GPS trackers!

Rahimi, Recht, Taylor, and Vawter conclude that the urban legend about the efficacity of tin foil hats was most likely promulgated by the FCC to assist other government agencies (OGA) tasked with tracking down "subversives."

They know where we are!

Editor's note:  The study reported here and the absurd skit by "Jacob Freeze" that presents it were rescued from an otherwise well-deserved obscurity because of the mysterious convergence between predator and prey which persuaded paranoids intent on escaping electronic surveillance by the CIA to select exactly the right material for revealing their location to imaginary persecutors, a situation strangely reminiscent of the convergence in particle physics between a newly created positron and the electron that inevitably appears out of nowhere on exactly the right track to intersect and merge with the positron in mutual annihilation.

So analogously with basic physics we can predict that the CIA will eventually intersect and merge with the community of paranoids so completely that the Agency will be laughed out of existence because all its resources will be devoted to surveillance of tin foil hats.

You have no idea how long I have been passing that link around.
As a devout 911 truth advocate the term tin foil has true meaning as does being an engineer.

Also got new Apocalyptic horse riding boots for Christmas so now I am all set!

Now that this diary has received a comment by "lasthorseman" it cannot be deleted without exposing Colman and Migeru as complete hypocrites for denying "Jacob Freeze" the right to delete his own diary here on the basis of common ownership of comments that would have been deleted along with it. Exactly the same logic applies to deleting "lasthorseman's" comment along with this diary!

Hello, Jacob, I have put your sock-puppet user account FPS Doug in category cant edit own diaries to prevent you from deleting your own diary and blaming us. Merry Christmas.

Since the "Jacob Freeze" account is now totally disabled, FPS Doug is technically a Zombie Account, rather than a sock puppet.

Thanks for the Christmas wish, but it seems strangely inappropriate for a revenant, so I'll just say...

Happy Easter from the Undead of America.

exactly?

You (or Jacob Freeze, if different) came over because you like the writing and the discussions, presumably. What's the point of aggressive provocation and gratuitious insults? These don't usually help to build dialogue and even here on ET, where we try to be tolerant, it's not working.

So what's your goal here, if not disruption and chaos?

Overexposure to the dismal science of economics has obviously warped your brain to the point where you see the goal-driven "economic man" everywhere.

Some of us just like to play!

Enough already with the depressing tagline from Keynes and the ham-fisted kindergarten moralizing! Keynes also said "My only regret in life is that I did not drink more Champagne!"

Maybe you need a new hat.

Ah, this old, flawed piece of research again! Let me repost my critique of it from last time it was referenced:
someone:
Damn right that MIT study is flawed! Anyone who know anything knows that to be fully effective aluminium foil hats need to be properly grounded. This can easily be achieved with a grounding strap, attaching to the hat and passing beneath the user's clothes to connect to metal plates on the underside of the shoes. For best results, grounding of both shoe soles, and on both heal and toe part of the shoes, is recommended. One must further ensure never to rest with the feet up. For indoor locations, as grounding through the floor is usually quite poor, strapping into the buildings electrical ground is recommended.

The idea is sound, the MIT research team just had piss poor implementation. I'm beginning to think these people are in on the anti-foil-hat conspiracy!

Here's another design for tin foil hats based on the Feynman diagram for electron-positron annihilation:

Is this Alice in Wonderland?  Is Jacob Freeze really the mad hatter?
