Overview
Duncan's book includes a section on defensive strategies against non-lethal weapons, positioning himself as "a scientist for civilian defense not to be confused with the department of defense."
Specific Defense Recommendations
1. Mylar Umbrella:
- Would deflect some microwave and laser energy used in Active Denial System (ADS)
- Duncan notes: "A Mylar umbrella would deflect some of the microwave and laser energy necessary to create" — implying protection against directed energy weapons
2. Knowledge as Immunity:
> "the best immunity you can have is the knowledge in this book"
Weapons Mentioned
| Weapon | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| ADS (Active Denial System) | Microwave-based non-lethal crowd control weapon |
| PEP | Non-lethal directed energy system |
| Rubber Bullets | Kinetic projectiles for crowd dispersal |
Context
Duncan frames these defenses within a broader argument about protecting civilians from "tyrannical federal forces" during protests and demonstrations. He notes that "protests and demonstrations have become painful and dangerous for those who still wish to have a democracy."
