A mechanic who worked at General Electric in New York spent the past
several years perfecting a deadly, truck-mounted radiation weapon. According
to the FBI, he tried to sell it to some Jews in his area, whom he figured
could hand it over to Israel. Failing that, he tried to sell it to some
friends in the KKK.
Glendon Scott Crawford is an industrial mechanic in Galway, NY, and he loves
to play with electronics. He is also allegedly a member of the KKK. One day
he decided it would be really cool to develop a mobile radiation beam that
could hit an unwitting target.
According to the Times Union:
The device was intended to be a truck-mounted radiation particle weapon
that could be remotely controlled and capable of silently aiming a lethal
beam of radioactivity at its human targets. The concept was that victims
would eventually die from radiation sickness.
[Crawford] is accused in a federal complaint of developing "a radiation
emitting device that could be placed in the back of a van to covertly emit
ionizing radiation strong enough to bring about radiation sickness or death
against Crawford's enemies," states the complaint attributed to an FBI agent
. . .
The investigation broke open in April 2012 when Crawford allegedly went
into an Albany synagogue and "asked to speak with a person who might be
willing to help him with a type of technology that could be used by Israel
to defeat its enemies, specifically, by killing Israel's enemies while they
slept," the complaint says. He referred to Muslims and enemies of the United
States as "medical waste," according to court records.
And that, folks, is the dark side of the DiY electronics movement. |
