General Electric Operates Under America's Radar
While sister and brother Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have proven with savvy high priced lobbying they can escape federal regulation, General Electric has yet, “To go where no man has gone before.” They and Siemens successfully have crossed new thresholds of electronic Teslanian grandeur without detection. For almost two decades GE in collaboration with Siemens has manufactured a new generation of diesel-electric locomotive equipped with alternating current traction motors. While this technological milestone slipped under the radar of both the Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Railroad Administration, it could become their cross to bear during the Obama tenure. The electronic processing used on these transient AC generators is not as stealth as a B1 bomber. While the shape, size, and materials of an aircraft can help disguise it to enemy radar, the hulking mammoth shape of a diesel prime mover is not so discreet. Neither is its electronic processing. If an enemy wanted to find a target for a terrorist act, nothing could be easier to find. The Department of Defense uses a complex array of infrasonic sensors to intercept audio data suggesting nuclear testing. Without the railroad industry’s lobbying machine their infrasonic and electro-magnetic footprint would be all over the world. In fact it is, and as their footprint gets pushed around the globe so does its heat. The use of the Strategic Rail Corridor Network during wartime predicates any eavesdropping on the railroad’s frequency, yet any human being cannot help but know when these trains are near. Their effects are not subtle, and they are profoundly recognizable to the human body. The effects of this new breed of diesel electric locomotive are twofold. The diesel prime mover creates a continuous infrasound wave at around 2 Hertz not unlike its DC counterpart. The processing used to provide AC power for these new traction motors produces residual electro-magnetic waves at varying frequencies. While these are prevalent in the earth’s troposphere from many sources including telecommunications, low frequency electro-magnetic waves have been proven harmful to the human body. Tests by the federal government on its proposed Ground Wave Emergency Network unequivocally proved low frequency radio ground transmissions were dangerous to human cells. Still similar radiation produced by GE’s AC traction systems continue unmonitored.
