Christmas Reactive Arthritis and Tinnitus in DaVille

There are communities that have invested in gun shot detection systems.  They are "sensors" which triangulate the high decibel sound of gunshots.  After Fayetteville spent over a million dollars on this service, it was proven that its existence didn't help law enforcement.  Local people are capable of calling in such events, and they do.  Like Ross McNutt's aerial surveillance system, while having 360 degree cameras mounted to the bottom of a Cessna Grand Caravan, who is going to have the time to view and study these hours and hours of footage?  The answer is no one.  If we add Fort Bragg to the stew, and apparently every new recruit wants to be in intelligence, it would seem every participant of the Deep State or the military is addicted to a screen and a controller.  It is more fun piloting a drone and blowing up targets from afar than actually being in the field.  Boots on the ground we call it.  With this new found preoccupation on ISR, a not-so-clever reworking of the acronym IRS (which is not held in high esteem with American citizens)  Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance has become the new focus of the military.  Big Tech has made this field a shiny, entertaining, fun vocation.  It is of no consequence that America's security against our enemies is of more concern, and that is no accomplished playing video games.  It is a distraction, and it has not helped us.  The continual "training" at Fort Bragg learning these systems makes the local communities Guinea pigs.  Would it not be helpful to use these military skills for local law enforcement?  We know that they do.  With the Robin Sage test occurring four times a year, who better is hypothetical enemy?  Using expensive Apache helicopters for such a purpose is a gray area. I know they do it, because I see them often.  They would say they are training, but with the amount of violent crime that has escalated since Donald Trump's two presidencies, they are catching criminals somehow.  It is not by having active duty police in patrol cars on the beat.  They are nonexistent in DaVille.  Rarely does one ever see a police cruiser.  Instead we see Apache helicopters.  There are drones.  There are soldiers training in the field listening to every sound made.  With four railroads copulating in DaVille, military training, and the Shot Spotter network, there is little privacy left.  No one seems to notice that since 9/11, Bush's Patriot Act, and Trump's authoritarian tendencies there is no part of our lives that is not public.  Add to this triangulating GPS in cellphones, the United States Space Force, and Elon Musk's manufactured network of spy satellites for the federal government, no part of our lives is unnoticed.  This surveillance has reached a point of critical mass.  While it has been in existence for decades, the NSA is a fairly new phenomenon.  9/11 was the impetus for eaves dropping on Americans, under the guise of searching for terrorists.  It has not stopped.  Because internet commerce has usurped brick and mortar commerce, GOOGLE and Facebook are anal retentive about watching and studying your interests online.  This translates to unwanted surveillance.  Lockheed Martin and other large defense corporations now are using every method available to spy on everyone.  Since Bill Clinton legalized these particular frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum, and microwave wireless transmission has burgeoned, no technology is immune from military exploitation.  This today includes SOUND.  They use sound in the field in combination with high powered phased array radar to triangulate enemy shells.  Sound.  Today your home is filled with unwanted EMF radiation in the form of neighborhood WiFi networks.  They have become 5G and are encroaching on the millimeter wave spectrum, a dangerous portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.  Businesses do not tell you this.  After discovering our house's electrical system is not grounded, and with all of this airborne RF and AC, I had to invest in power filters for all of my electronic musical equipment.  I spent hundreds of dollars on Furman power conditioners installing them in multiple places in the house.  Because your musical instrument cords become antenna, I had to replace them as well with heavy duty shielded cables.  This improved my audio for the most part, but did not completely render my home an appropriate place for electronic music production.  The overlying issue now is aberrant infrasound.  I have unwanted, low frequency, mostly inaudible sound proliferating in my home.  This comes from a variety of sources including commercial jets from the Fayetteville Regional Airport, military aircraft, and freight and passenger rail.  The problem has become the intermodulation of this infrasound as it mixes into an unwieldy stew.  The simple result is the typical stereo image of an audio signal in a recording studio gets pushed to one side from this massive pressure in the air.  When I watch a DVD and listen to its sound through four speakers in four corners of the room, I only hear sound out of one speaker.  The infrasound has the strength to overcome the meager audio coming from a home stereo system.  Likewise if I try to record music, the same phenomenon occurs.  There is another issue happening that is beginning to garner attention.  It is the age of frailty of our electrical grid.  When AC traction locomotives rumble through downtown Fayetteville, the local power grid is taxed.  There is a reason for this, and it is completely logical and proven in the field of physics.  The immense amount of low frequency alternating current originating in one of these locomotives escapes onto the local power grid taxing the system.  It tamps down what is supposed to be available for consumer use in their homes and businesses.  Things get dim.  The idea that aberrant sound, electricity, and radiation are propagating in our personal, supposed to be, private living spaces is disgruntling.  I feel it has become unconstitutional.  It makes it difficult for me to pursue my chosen vocation of electronic music production.  There are stretches of time, like now, that audible music in the house creates disturbance to the human psyche.  This negates the entire purpose of music.  Who gets to make this decision?  The powers at be obviously want us to continue to live on our iPhones and in our earbuds.  The plural, communal, societal process of music fellowship has been lost, at least around here.
