FBI Captures Wichita ‘Suicide Bomber’ With Fake Bomb They Gave Him

Detainee Faces Life in Prison for Terrorism

by Jason Ditz, December 13, 2013

The FBI has once again announced the high-profile arrest of a terrorist whose entire plot appears to have manufactured entirely at their behest, so they could arrest him for it.

58-year-old Terry Lee Loewen is facing life in prison on charges of “terrorism” and using a “weapon of mass destruction” for trying to blow up the Wichita Airport with a phony suicide car bomb. The FBI assures that the chemicals they provided were inert and no explosion was possible.

Officials speculated that Loewen was motivated by “religious beliefs,” but it isn’t clear what religion he espoused, and he was apparently not a member of any congregation of any sort in Wichita.

Loewen mistakenly believed he was working with al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), though as with virtually anyone within the United States who thinks that, it turns out he was actually working with the FBI to manufacture just enough evidence to score a conviction against himself.

Camera captures voices without a microphone

Throat movements get decoded to reveal sounds of speech

MONTREAL — Eavesdroppers might not have to lip-read to listen in on a far-off conversation. Using a high-speed camera pointed at the throat, scientists can decipher a person’s words without relying on a microphone.

By snapping thousands of images per second, researchers recorded every wavering wobble of neck flesh that accompanied sounds floating out from a person’s voice box. A computer program then turned the recorded skin vibrations into sound waves, Yasuhiro Oikawa of Waseda University in Tokyo reported June 3 at the International Congress on Acoustics.

Standard lip-reading software tracks lip twitches, tongue waggles and jaw motions as a person’s mouth forms a word. Some programs are sophisticated enough to recognize different languages, but the computer doesn’t offer much more than a transcript, Oikawa said.

Textual information is important, but so is intonation, pitch and volume, he said. “We get a sense of a speaker’s feeling from their voice.”

Microphones have problems, too: A mic often records too much background noise — especially outside, where the whooshing whistle of the wind or the loud plop of a raindrop can drown out a person’s voice.

So Oikawa and colleagues looked for a new way to record speech that could capture vocal tones.

Using a high-speed camera, the researchers zoomed in on the throats of two volunteers and recorded them saying the Japanese word tawara, which means straw bale or bag. The team’s camera recorded at 10,000 frames per second; the typical rate for a movie projected in a theater is 24.

At the same time, Oikawa’s team recorded the volunteers’ words with a standard microphone and a vibrometer, a device that measured vibrations of their skin.

The throat vibrations recorded by the camera looked similar to the vibrations picked up by the microphone and the vibrometer, Oikawa said.

And when the team ran the camera’s vibration data through a computer program, they could reconstruct the volunteers’ voices well enough to understand the word spoken, Oikawa said. Before the end of the year, he thinks he may be able to record and play back a full sentence using the high-speed camera technique.

The technique should allow scientists to hear words even if there’s a lot of background noise, said physicist Claire Prada of the National Center for Scientific Research in Paris. The work is promising, she said, but “it’s still just proof of principle.”

But other scientists at the presentation seemed skeptical. Mechanical engineer Weikang Jiang of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China noted that Oikawa did not play audio of reconstructed voices; instead he showed pictures of the sound waves. Jiang praised the work’s novelty, but said, “He didn’t show us the results.”

Next, Oikawa wants to focus the camera on a person’s cheeks to look for more skin spots that jiggle during speech. Analyzing more vibrating areas could give researchers extra info about a person’s voice, and that could improve voice reconstruction.

"Hero of War" - Rise Against Song Captures Iraq War Veteran"s Tragic Experience

We conclude Democracy Now!’s 2013 Memorial Day special with the video for the song, “Hero of War,” by Rise Against. The Chicago-based punk band’s Tim McIlrath sang the antiwar song for protesters outside the NATO Summit in Chicago earlier this month. It tells the story of an Iraq war veteran reflecting on his experiences while serving in the military. “I kicked in the door, I yelled my commands. The children, they cried, but I got my man. We took him away, a bag over his face, from his family and his friends,” McIlrath sings. The video for the song has been viewed more than 13 million times online.
