Comment

There are things that motivate some drivers to TAILGATE another trucker driver, What i have found out, is If you’re not a member of a certain organization on these roadways they will assault you with DIRECTED ENERGY, which is a laser, Satellite mounted. They operate by an electronic code only given to members, If you don’t have it they will HARASS you electronically, I am speaking form experience and the evidence I have collected. So after a truck or car has been tailing you, and you are not a member with an electronic code ,they are planting an air tag on your vehicle to the GRID,
An aerial vehicle will see it and head to assault you, If you feel light headed, a sharp pain in your head, that a LASER , not your health. Be it known, that’s the same weapon that made the Diplomats sick in Quba in the sixties, They labeled the sickness HAVANA SYNDROME.
