Killing Iraqis with Dowsing Rods


by Unity    

I’m not generally one for being cryptic, but to avoid giving Sunny ulcers, if you want to find out exactly how British companies have been making millions of dollars selling dowsing rods as ‘explosives detectors’ to countries including Iraq, Thailand and the Philippines then you’ll need to pop over to the Ministry and read…

British Company sells $60,000 Dowsing Rods to Iraq as ‘Explosives Detectors’

UPDATE

You can now see one of these detectors in action in this video which shows a street in Thailand being verified as explosive-free by Thai security forces using one of these devices.

I suspect that Error-Fix, which is a genuine twitter account, has done some sort of mass tweet on the story.

Will sort it out.

Read it over at yours and coupled with that video, it is pretty fucking horrific all in all.
