Friday Files: Counter-Mine Dowsing Rod Science
Caveat emptor. Received the email below from John, complete with
his apropos signature line (personal info redacted). His thorough
YouTube Channel is evidence of
his commitment to this "science" and features an eclectic set of clips and soundtracks
in the mix along with his rigorous explanation of the topic. I'm
shocked, shocked that DoD
and DARPA refused comment. One would think that after all the experimentation
to come up with a technological nose that can out-rover Fido, they might open their
aperture to lower tech alternatives. They may get more of these unsolicited
proposals than we do so a little slack might be due, but they are better
staffed.
Happy weekend.
Dear Small Wars Journal,
I've put out on YouTube a 12-part
series on using low-tech methods to counter the low-tech methods in the current
small wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Of course, the Dod and DARPA have refused
to even comment on them. I believe the techniques work, and for pennies, much
like the tactics used by the guerillas.
You may or may not be interested in these YouTube offerings, but they can be
found under "iesigma" or "dowsing rod science." The technique works on coat hangers,
welding rods or other such items energized by the earth's natural electricity (known
since the 1840's). That means anyone, anywhere can use it.
At any rate, please give at least some of them a try. Like many things
in science, it does not fit the current paradigm, and is scorned by much (but not
all) of the established. At the moment, other countries are beginning to put
their fingers in it. There are no fee, charges, or commitments.
Write me if you are considering any or all of the videos! I look forward
to hearing from you. <snip>
Keep up the good work!

Re: "other countries are beginning to put their fingers in it." I'm not
really sure what to make of that. Should we brace for a dowsing rod race? Explore
counter-counter-measures? Or just put our fingers in it, too?
