This is the limited hangout story.

It comes out instantaneously from outlets as diverse as the NYT and on Reddit from "a special ops guy I know who looked at the shrapnel wounds". They'd rather have us believe this than trying to figure out what really happened.

But it sounds plausible so why would we not believe it as stated? All kinds of other shit was blowing up after the pagers: walkie-talkies, solar panels, household appliances, etc. You can see a tweet in this post followed by comments from every shill on the planet.

Are we supposed to believe that Mossad planted explosives and triggering mechanisms in all these products just on the off chance they might need to blow them up? I don't put it past them technologically or morally, but it's wildly inefficient with a very high chance of exposure and (as we're seeing) tremendous international blowback as an act of state terrorism.

Then what did happen? I'm just spitballing here, but I would start thinking along the lines of a directed energy weapon based on Tesla's ideas about harmonic oscillation. As an aside, there's an old "MythBusters" (Episode 60: Earthquake Machine) where they try physical oscillation on a bridge. Judge for yourself, but I have never seen them look more freaked out. Then they declared it "busted" and never mentioned it again.

So the Hebraic geniuses think up (a way to steal) a technique for a DEW to induce a harmonic oscillation in small electronics. Each type of device would have a characteristic frequency, which is why they went off one type at a time. It's possible some devices share close frequencies, so dishwashers also blow up when walkie-talkies are targeted. When hit with the DEW, the device loads up with energy but you just need enough to disrupt the lithium-ion battery, which contains a tremendous amount of energy.

Would they accept the limited hangout that Mossad tampered with Chinese/Hungarian pagers in order to keep this tech under wraps and away from everyone's consciousness? Absolutely! First, they admitted to nothing and will never be held liable in any forum for this. Second, nobody has pagers, Chinese or Hungarian or otherwise. It's no threat and will quickly fade from memory. Anyway, only a bunch of terrorists got blown up.
