Episode Description from the Publisher

Tonight we’re going deep into the official U.S. Government records of the Patent Vault, where inventors, and even the military, get legal protection for some of the wildest, darkest ideas imaginable. We’re not talking unfiled mad-scientist notes. These are granted patents with numbers you can Google right now on patents.google.com. Many of these read like they were ripped straight from a conspiracy forum: remote mind control, voices beamed into your skull, weather as a weapon, hidden signals in your TV and phone.This one is a little out there, and coming from us, that's saying something.The Patent Numbers referenced in this Episode - US4686605A, US6506148B2, US5159703A, US3951134A, US6470214B1, US6587729B2, US6011991A, US6017302A, US6238333B1, US4616261A, US6091994A, US5123899A, US4395600A, US7784390B1, US9504419B2, US7490538B2. From the Honorable mention list - US3335A, US3216423A, US1749090A, US6293874B1, US4344424A. The Victorian Anti-Self "use" items were scattered around under various numbers so a generalized reference was used. Join in on the Discussion via our Discord - https://discord.gg/JMTPN2MwQQ
