"Frequency Weapons: The Use of Military ‘Non-Lethal’ Weapons Upon Society Toward Social Control" explores the development, deployment, and implications of Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) and other "non-lethal" technologies. It argues that these tools, often promoted as humane alternatives to conventional warfare, are increasingly being adapted for domestic surveillance, crowd control, and the suppression of dissent. The literature highlights the tension between the stated purpose of these weapons, minimizing casualties, and their potential misuse as a means of political repression and surveillance within democratic societies.
