Dear Melanie Petrowski
Official Information Act request relating to concerns regarding the use of ‘sonic
weapons’
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request received on 20 March
2023. You requested:
“Because a Sonic Weapon (Sound Cannons - two long range acoustic devices
(LRADs) were used in the Wellington anti-mandate protest just over a year ago in
February and March 2022 by the NZ Police against their own citizens causing skin
rashes, burns, and many other symptoms including pain, headaches and tiredness;
and because chronic fatigue is becoming rife in this country at the moment, I would like
to ask - Is the New Zealand Government currently using any of these (silent) weapons
against its own citizens?:
• DEW (Direct Energy Weapons)?
• Any Low Frequency devices or technology that can emit radiation at long distances?
(May include street lights and 5G cell phone towers).
• Geoengineering? This has many names, ie solar radiation management (SRM), cloud
seeding, chemtrails including spraying barium, aluminium, graphene or other chemicals
or nanoparticles; or weather manipulation creating storms and floods? Is NIWA
(National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Limited) involved? And is it
possible to site the CV’s or work history of all the foreigners working at NIWA?
• HAARP - High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program? Is there a “research
program” in Birdlings Flat, Christchurch or anyway else in New Zealand? These can
also create earthquakes and steer storms causing great harm to people.
* Any other weapons used by "the elite special tactics group" on New Zealand citizens?
* And is there any foreign military personnel or agents working with the NZ Government
on using any of the above?”
The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet does not hold any information relating to
the existence of ‘sonic weapons, ‘sound cannons’, ‘direct energy weapons’, ‘low frequency
devices’, ‘solar radiation management’, ‘cloud seeding’, or HAARP. As such, we have
decided to refuse your request under section 18(e) of the Act, as the information requested
does not exist.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under
section 28(3) of the Act.
Yours sincerely
