People will sometimes place flyers at people's homes or cars to make them aware of an event, sale or some sort of public service announcement. Although there are some tech savvy neighborhoods that may use an email service or a LISTSERV, others simply like to use the old fashion method by leaving little pieces of paper left on windshields or stapled to a telephone pole. Recently, flyers were left on a bunch of cars in a Texas neighborhood, including several vehicles belonging to the local sheriff’s office.

One officer went out to check out the flyer, curious as to what the locals were annoyed with this time. What he found couldn’t have been more bizarre! As it turns out, they were dangerous as well.

The flyers pointed readers to a website called TargetedJustice.com and allege that the CIA and US Air Force are involved in a microwave experiment that allows them to control peoples minds.

Whoever wrote this is in deep with some conspiracy theories, and they are as off-the-wall as you might imagine. At the bottom, a disclaimer describes that “This research was done by Richard Lighthouse, proud Government Whistleblower.”

While it isn’t clear that Lighthouse was the person to place these flyers on the cars, his website links to a smashwords.com biography. In this biography, he says, “The government criminals of the Deep State are watching downloads. Please be smart – print it out and distribute as hard copies.”

Lighthouse claims to hold a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering as well as having worked for NASA at some point in the past. He is now working as an executive in the energy industry, which makes his claims about figuring out, “time travel, faster than light travel, travel between parallel universes, and instant radio communication between galaxies.”

For someone with such a breadth of world-changing knowledge, he gets little to no press – until now. That’s because someone took his flyer with his “revolutionary ideas,” coated it in fentanyl and placed them on cars right in front of a sheriff’s office.

“It’s one of the major concerns of law enforcement these days because there’s a high number of overdoses that we’ve seen in other parts of the country,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez told CNN. “Law enforcement is now grappling with that.”

While it isn’t clear that the flyers were directly targeting the law enforcement officers, the location is close enough to their office to make it seem that way. Every single flyer tested positive for Fentanyl, a potent opioid that is 50-100 times stronger than morphine. It is remarkably easy to overdose on this terrifying substance, and at least one officer was forced into the hospital due to exposure to these flyers.

In today’s day and age, there are a lot of radical people out there who get their news from a diverse range of sources. When it comes to claims like what appears on these flyers, Americans need to use their critical thinking. Resist turning to conspiracy theories just because you don’t understand how something works. Do some research, clarify your positions and you’ll be a lot better off in the long run when it comes to political and moral discourse.

Some commenters on IJReview seemed to argue that this type of attack is likely due to illegal immigrants. But the presence of these conspiracy theories about the FBI being controlled by microwaves should make it more likely that this person is suffering from mental health issues. The fact that he is attacking the public via drug-covered flyers is more evidence to that end.
