Technonet is the protest form of the 1990s-picketing
on the information highways. For example, a
fast-growing assortment of men and women around the world are
using the Internet (started by the
US military for information transfer and exchange that would
never be interfered with) to draw
attention to a questionable military project in Alaska. Now these
Internetting, e-mailing, faxing
folks are blowing holes in the US Department of Defense secrecy
wall by using the government's own system. The printed-word part
of the protest started when Dennis Specht, an anti-nuclear activist
then living in Alaska, sent a news item to NEXUS on the topic
of HAARP-the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program.
Then, an Alaskan political activist and science researcher in
Anchorage, Nick Begich, networked with Patrick and Gael Crystal
Flanagan, who are self-described "technomonks" living
in Sedona, Arizona, and was told to check out that same Australian-based
magazine. Begich was surprised to see an item from his home town
in NEXUS and immediately headed to the local library to dig out
the documents cited in the article.
That research led to articles and the book,
Angels Don't Play this HAARP: Advances in Tesla Technology,
which is 230 pages of detailed information on this intrusive
project. This article will only give highlights.
Despite the amount of research (350 footnotes), at its heart
it is a story about ordinary people who took
on an extraordinary challenge.
HAARP BOILS THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE
HAARP will zap the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable
electromagnetic beam. It is an advanced
model of an 'ionospheric heater'. (The ionosphere is the electrically-charged
sphere surrounding Earth's
upper atmosphere. It ranges between about 40 to 600 miles above
Earth's surface.)
Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal
of a radio telescope: antennas send out signals instead
of receiving. HAARP is the test run for a super-powerful radio
wave beaming technology that lifts areas
of the ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating those areas.
Electromagnetic waves then bounce back
onto Earth and penetrate everything-living and dead. HAARP publicity
gives the impression that the
High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program is mainly an academic
project with the goal of changing
the ionosphere to improve communications for our own good. However,
other US military documents put
it more clearly: HAARP aims to learn how to "exploit the
ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes".
Communicating with submarines is only one of those purposes.
Press releases and other information from
the military on HAARP continually downplay what it could do.
Publicity documents insist that the HAARP project is no different
than other ionospheric heaters operating
safely throughout the world in places such as Arecibo, Puerto
Rico; Tromsø, Norway; and the former
Soviet Union. However, a 1990 government document indicates that
the radio frequency (RF) power zap
will drive the ionosphere to unnatural activities:
"...at the highest HF powers available
in the West, the instabilities commonly studied are approaching
their
maximum RF energy dissipative capability, beyond which the plasma
processes will 'run away' until the next
limiting factor is reached."
If the military, in cooperation with the University
of Alaska, Fairbanks, can show that this new ground-based
"Star Wars" technology is sound, they both win. The
military has a relatively inexpensive defence shield and
the university can brag about the most dramatic geophysical manipulation
since atmospheric explosions of
nuclear bombs. After successful testing, they would have the
military megaprojects of the future and huge
markets for Alaska's North Slope natural gas.
Looking at the other patents which built on
the work of a Texas physicist named Bernard Eastlund, it becomes
clearer how the military intends to use the HAARP transmitter.
It also makes governmental denials less
believable. The military knows how it intends to use this technology,
and has made it clear in their documents.
The military has deliberately misled the public through sophisticated
word games, deceit and outright dis-
information.
The military says the HAARP system could:
·give the military a tool to replace
the electromagnetic pulse effect of atmospheric thermonuclear
devices (still considered a viable option by the military through
at least 1986);
·replace the huge Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) submarine
communication system operating in Michigan and Wisconsin with
a new and more compact technology; be used to replace the over-the-horizon
radar system that was once planned for the current location of
HAARP, with a more flexible and accurate system; provide a way
to wipe out communications over an extremely large area, while
keeping the military's own communications systems working; provide
a wide-area Earth-penetrating tomography which, if combined with
the computing abilities of EMASS and Cray computers, would make
it possible to verify many parts of nuclear nonproliferation
and peace agreements;
·be a tool for geophysical probing to find oil, gas and
mineral deposits over a large area;
·be used to detect incoming low-level planes and cruise
missiles, making other technologies obsolete.
The above abilities seem like a good idea
to all who believe in sound national defence and to those con-
cerned about cost-cutting. However, the possible uses which the
HAARP records do not explain, and which can
only be found in US Air Force, Army, Navy and other federal agency
records, are alarming. Moreover, effects
from the reckless use of these power levels in our natural shield-the
ionosphere-could be cataclysmic, according
to some scientists.
Two Alaskans put it bluntly. A founder of
the NO HAARP movement, Clare Zickuhr, says: "The military
is going
to give the ionosphere a big kick and see what happens."
The military failed to tell the public that they do not know
what exactly will happen, but a Penn State science
article brags about that uncertainty. Macho science? The HAARP
project uses the largest energy levels yet
played with, by what Begich and Manning call "the big boys
with their new toys". It is an experiment on the
sky, and experiments are done to find out something not already
known. Independent scientists told Begich
and Manning that a HAARP-type 'skybuster' with its unforeseen
effects could be an act of global vandalism.
HAARP HISTORY
The patents described below were the package of ideas which were
originally controlled by ARCO Power
Technologies Incorporated (APTI), a subsidiary of Atlantic Richfield
Company, one of the biggest oil
companies in the world. APTI was the contractor that built the
HAARP facility. ARCO sold this subsidiary, the
patents and the second phase construction contract to E-Systems
in June 1994.
E-Systems is one of the biggest intelligence
contractors in the world, doing work for the CIA, defence
intelligence organisations and others. US$1.8 billion of their
annual sales are to these organisations, with
$800 million for black projects-projects so secret that even
the United States Congress isn't told how the
money is being spent.
E-Systems was bought out by Raytheon which
is one of the largest defence contractors in the world. In 1994
Raytheon was listed as number 42 on the "Fortune 500"
list of companies. Raytheon has thousands of patents,
some of which will be valuable in the HAARP project. Twelve patents
are the backbone of the HAARP project,
and are now buried among the thousands of others held in the
name of Raytheon.
Bernard J. Eastlund's US Patent #4,686,605,
"Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth's
Atmosphere, Ionosphere and/or Magnetosphere", was sealed
for a year under a government secrecy order.
The Eastlund ionospheric heater was different:
the radio frequency (RF) radiation was concentrated and
focused to a point in the ionosphere. This difference throws
an unprecedented amount of energy into the
ionosphere. The Eastlund device would allow a concentration of
one watt per cubic centimetre, compared to
others only able to deliver about one millionth of one watt.
This huge difference could lift and change
the ionosphere in the ways necessary to create futuristic effects
described in the patent. According to the patent, the work of
Nikola Tesla in the early 1900s formed the basis
of the research.
What would this technology be worth to ARCO,
the owner of the patents? They could make enormous profits
by beaming electrical power, without wires, from a powerhouse
in the gas fields to the consumer.
For a time, HAARP researchers could not prove
that this was one of the intended uses for HAARP. In April
1995, however, Begich found other patents, connected with a 'key
personnel' list for APTI. Some of these new
APTI patents were indeed a wireless system for sending electrical
power.
Eastlund's patent said the technology can
confuse or completely disrupt airplanes' and missiles' sophisticated
guidance systems. Further, this ability to spray large areas
of Earth with electromagnetic waves of varying
frequencies, and to control changes in those waves, makes it
possible to knock out communications on land or
sea as well as in the air. The patent said:
"Thus, this invention provides the ability
to put unprecedented amounts of power in the Earth's atmosphere
at strategic locations and to maintain the power injection level,
particularly if random pulsing is employed,
in a manner far more precise and better controlled than heretofore
accomplished by the prior art,
particularly by detonation of nuclear devices of various yields
at various altitudes...
"...it is possible not only to interfere
with third party communications but to take advantage of one
or more
such beams to carry out a communications network even though
the rest of the world's communications are
disrupted. Put another way, what is used to disrupt another's
communications can be employed by one
knowledgeable of this invention as a communication network at
the same time.
"...large regions of the atmosphere could
be lifted to an unexpectedly high altitude so that missiles encounter
unexpected and unplanned drag forces with resultant destruction...
"Weather modification is possible by,
for example, altering upper atmosphere wind patterns by constructing
one or more plumes of atmospheric particles which will act as
a lens or focusing device. ...molecular
modifications of the atmosphere can take place so that positive
environmental effects can be achieved.
Besides actually changing the molecular composition of an atmospheric
region, a particular molecule or
molecules can be chosen for increased presence. For example,
ozone, nitrogen, etc. concentrations in the atmosphere could
be artificially increased..."
Begich found 11 other APTI patents. They told
how to make "Nuclear-sized Explosions without Radiation",
power-beaming systems, over-the-horizon radar, detection systems
for missiles carrying nuclear warheads,
electromagnetic pulses previously produced by thermonuclear weapons
and other "Star Wars" tricks. This
cluster of patents underlay the HAARP weapon system.
Related research by Begich and Manning uncovered
bizarre schemes. For example, US Air Force documents
revealed that a system had been developed for manipulating and
disrupting human mental processes through
pulsed radio-frequency radiation (the stuff of HAARP) over large
geographical areas. The most telling material
about this technology came from writings of Zbigniew Brzezinski
(former National Security Adviser to US
President Carter) and J. F. MacDonald (science adviser to US
President Johnson and a Professor of Geophysics
at UCLA), as they wrote about use of power-beaming transmitters
for geophysical and environmental warfare.
The documents showed how these effects might be caused, and the
negative effects on human health and
thinking.
The mental-disruption possibilities for HAARP
are the most disturbing. More than 40 pages of the book, with
dozens of footnotes, chronicle the work of Harvard professors,
military planners and scientists as they plan
and test this use of the electromagnetic technology. For example,
one of the papers describing this use was
from the International Red Cross in Geneva. It even gave the
frequency ranges where these effects could
occur-the same ranges which HAARP is capable of broadcasting.
The following statement was made more than
25 years ago in a book which Brzezinski wrote while a professor
at Columbia University:
"Political strategists are tempted to
exploit research on the brain and human behaviour. Geophysicist
Gordon J. F. MacDonald-specialist in problems of warfare-says
accurately-timed, artificially-excited electronic
strokes 'could lead to a pattern of oscillations that produce
relatively high power levels over certain regions
of the Earth... In this way, one could develop a system that
would seriously impair the brain performance of
very large populations in selected regions over an extended period...'
No matter how deeply disturbing the thought of using the environment
to manipulate behaviour for national advantages, to some the
technology permitting such use will very probably develop within
the next few decades."
In 1966, MacDonald was a member of the President's
Science Advisory Committee and later a member of the
President's Council on Environmental Quality. He published papers
on the use of environmental control
technologies for military purposes. The most profound comment
he made as a geophysicist was:
"The key to geophysical warfare is the
identification of environmental instabilities to which the addition
of a
small amount of energy would release vastly greater amounts of
energy."
While yesterday's geophysicists predicted
today's advances, are HAARP program managers delivering on the
vision? The geophysicists recognised that adding energy to the
environmental soup could have large effects.
However, humankind has already added substantial amounts of electromagnetic
energy into our environment
without understanding what might constitute critical mass. The
book by Begich and Manning raises questions.
Have these additions been without effect, or is there a cumulative
amount beyond which irreparable damage
can be done? Is HAARP another step in a journey from which we
cannot turn back? Are we about to embark on
another energy experiment which unleashes another set of demons
from Pandora's box?
As early as 1970, Zbigniew Brzezinski predicted
a "more controlled and directed society" would gradually
appear, linked to technology. This society would be dominated
by an elite group which impresses voters by
allegedly superior scientific know-how. Angels Don't Play This
HAARP further quotes Brzezinski:
"Unhindered by the restraints of traditional
liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its
political
ends by using the latest modern techniques for influencing public
behaviour and keeping society under close
surveillance and control. Technical and scientific momentum would
then feed on the situation it exploits,"
Brzezinski predicted.
His forecasts proved accurate. Today, a number
of new tools for the "elite" are emerging, and the
temptation
to use them increases steadily. The policies to permit the tools
to be used are already in place. How could the
United States be changed, bit by bit, into the predicted highly-controlled
technosociety? Among the 'stepping
stones' Brzezinski expected were persisting social crises and
use of the mass media to gain the public's
confidence.
In another document prepared by the government,
the US Air Force claims:
"The potential applications of artificial
electromagnetic fields are wide-ranging and can be used in many
military or quasi-military situations... Some of these potential
uses include dealing with terrorist groups,
crowd control, controlling breaches of security at military installations,
and antipersonnel techniques in
tactical warfare. In all of these cases the EM (electromagnetic)
systems would be used to produce mild to
severe physiological disruption or perceptual distortion or disorientation.
In addition, the ability of
individuals to function could be degraded to such a point that
they would be combat-ineffective. Another
advantage of electromagnetic systems is that they can provide
coverage over large areas with a single system.
They are silent, and countermeasures to them may be difficult
to develop... One last area where
electromagnetic radiation may prove of some value is in enhancing
abilities of individuals for anomalous
phenomena."
Do these comments point to uses already somewhat
developed? The author of the government report refers
to an earlier Air Force document about the uses of radio-frequency
radiation in combat situations. (Here,
Begich and Manning note that HAARP is the most versatile and
the largest radio-frequency radiation
transmitter in the world.)
The United States congressional record deals
with the use of HAARP for penetrating the Earth with signals
bounced off the ionosphere. These signals are used to look inside
the planet to a depth of many kilometres
in order to locate underground munitions, minerals and tunnels.
For 1996 the US Senate has set aside US$15
million to develop this ability alone: Earth-penetrating tomography.
The problem is that the frequency needed
for Earth-penetrating radiations is within the frequency range
most cited for disruption of human mental
functions. It may also have profound effects on migration patterns
of fish and wild animals which rely on an undisturbed energy
field to find their routes.
As if electromagnetic pulses in the sky and
mental disruption were not enough, Eastlund bragged that the
super-powerful ionospheric heater could control weather. Begich
and Manning brought to light government
documents indicating that the military has weather-control technology.
When HAARP is eventually built to
its full power level, it could create weather effects over entire
hemispheres. If one government experiments
with the world's weather patterns, what is done in one place
will impact everyone else on the planet. Angels
Don't Play This HAARP explains a principle behind some of Nikola
Tesla's inventions-resonance-which affects
planetary systems.
BUBBLE OF ELECTRIC PARTICLES
Angels Don't Play This HAARP includes interviews with independent
scientists such as Elizabeth Rauscher. She
has a Ph.D., a long and impressive career in high-energy physics,
and has been published in prestigious science
journals and books. Rauscher commented on HAARP: "You're
pumping tremendous energy into an extremely
delicate molecular configuration that comprises these multi-layers
we call the ionosphere." The ionosphere is
prone to catalytic reactions, she explained: if a small part
is changed, a major change in the ionosphere can
happen.
In describing the ionosphere as a delicately
balanced system, Dr Rauscher shared her mental picture of it:
a
soap bubble-like sphere surrounding Earth's atmosphere, with
movements swirling over the surface of the
bubble. If a big enough hole is punched through it, she predicts
it could pop.
SLICING THE IONOSPHERE
Physicist Daniel Winter, Ph.D., of Waynesville, North Carolina,
says HAARP high-frequency emissions can couple with long wave
(low frequency or ELF) pulses the Earth grid uses to distribute
information as vibrations to synchronise dances of life in the
biosphere. Dan terms this geomagnetic action "Earth's information
blood-stream", and says it is likely that coupling of HAARP
HF (high frequency) with natural ELF (extremely low frequency)
can cause unplanned, unsuspected side-effects.
David Yarrow of Albany, New York, is a researcher
with a background in electronics. He described possible
interactions of HAARP radiations with the ionosphere and Earth's
magnetic grid:
"HAARP will not burn 'holes' in the ionosphere.
That is a dangerous understatement of what HAARP's giant
gigawatt beam will do. Earth is spinning relative to thin electric
shells of the multilayer membrane of 'iono-
spheres' that absorb and shield Earth's surface from intense
solar radiation, including charged particle storms
in solar winds erupting from the Sun. Earth's axial spin means
that HAARP-in a burst lasting more than a few
minutes-will slice through the ionosphere like a microwave knife.
This produces not a hole, but a long tear-an
incision.
CRUDELY PLUCKING THE STRINGS
"Second concept: As Earth rotates, HAARP will slice across
geomagnetic flux...a donut-shaped spool of magnetic
strings-like longitude meridians (on maps). HAARP may not 'cut'
these strings in Gaia's magnetic mantle, but
will pulse each thread with harsh, out-of-harmony high frequencies.
These noisy impulses will vibrate
geomagnetic flux lines, sending vibrations all through the geomagnetic
web.
"The image comes to mind of a spider
on its web. An insect lands, and the web's vibrations alert the
spider to
possible prey. HAARP will be a manmade microwave finger poking
at the web, sending out confusing signals, if
not tearing holes in the threads.
"Effects of this interference with symphonies
of Gaia's geomagnetic harp are unknown, and I suspect barely
thought of. Even if thought of, the intent [of HAARP] is to learn
to exploit any effects, not to play in tune to
global symphonies."
Among other researchers quoted is Paul Schaefer
of Kansas City. His degree is in electrical engineering and he
spent four years building nuclear weapons. "But most of
the theories that we have been taught by scientists to
believe in seem to be falling apart," he says. He talks
about imbalances already caused by the industrial and
atomic age, especially by radiation of large numbers of tiny,
high-velocity particles "like very small spinning
tops" into our environment. The unnatural level of motion
of highly energetic particles in the atmosphere and
in radiation belts surrounding Earth is the villain in the weather
disruptions, according to this model which
describes an Earth discharging its buildup of heat, relieving
stress and regaining a balanced condition through
earthquakes and volcanic action.
FEVERISH EARTH
"One might compare the abnormal energetic state of the Earth
and its atmosphere to a car battery which has
become overcharged with the normal flow of energy jammed up,
resulting in hot spots, electrical arcing,
physical cracks and general turbulence as the pent-up energy
tries to find some place to go."
In a second analogy, Schaefer says:
"Unless we desire the death of our planet,
we must end the production of unstable particles which are
generating the Earth's fever. A first priority to prevent this
disaster would be to shut down all nuclear power
plants and end the testing of atomic weapons, electronic warfare
and 'Star Wars'."
Meanwhile, the military builds its biggest
ionospheric heater yet, to deliberately create more instabilities
in a
huge plasma layer-the ionosphere-and to rev up the energy level
of charged particles.
ELECTRONIC RAIN FROM THE SKY
The military has published papers about electron precipitation
from the magnetosphere (the outer belts of
charged particles which stream toward Earth's magnetic poles)
caused by manmade very-low-frequency
electromagnetic waves:
"These precipitated particles can produce
secondary ionisation, emit X-rays, and cause significant perturbation
in the lower ionosphere."
Two Stanford University radio scientists offer
evidence of what technology can do to affect the sky by making
waves on Earth. They showed that very low frequency radio waves
can vibrate the magnetosphere and cause
high-energy particles to cascade into the Earth's atmosphere.
By turning the signal on or off, they could stop
the flow of energetic particles.
WEATHER CONTROL
Avalanches of energy dislodged by such radio waves could hit
us hard. Their work suggests that technicians
could control global weather by sending relatively small 'signals'
into the Van Allen belts (radiation belts
around Earth). Thus Tesla's resonance effects can control enormous
energies by tiny triggering signals.
The Begich/Manning book asks whether that
knowledge will be used by war-oriented or biosphere-oriented
scientists.
The military has had about 20 years to work
on weather warfare methods, which it euphemistically calls weather
modification. For example, rainmaking technology was taken for
a few test rides in Vietnam. The US Department of Defense sampled
lightning and hurricane manipulation studies in Project Skyfire
and Project Stormfury. And they looked at some complicated technologies
that would give big effects. Angels Don't Play This HAARP cites
an expert who says the military studied both lasers and chemicals
which they figured could damage the ozone layer over an enemy.
Looking at ways to cause earthquakes, as well as to detect them,
was part of the project named Prime Argus, decades ago. The money
for that came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA, now under the acronym ARPA).
In 1994 the US Air Force revealed its Spacecast
2020 master plan which includes weather control. Scientists
have experimented with weather control since the 1940s, but Spacecast
2020 noted that "using environmental
modification techniques to destroy, damage or injure another
state [is] prohibited". Having said that, the Air
Force claimed that advances in technology "compels a re-examination
of this sensitive and potentially risky
topic".
FORTY YEARS OF ZAPPING THE SKY?
As far back as 1958, the chief White House adviser on weather
modification, Captain Howard T. Orville, said the
US defence department was studying "ways to manipulate the
charges of the Earth and sky and so affect the
weather by using an electronic beam to ionise or de-ionise the
atmosphere over a given area.
In 1966, Professor Gordon J. F. MacDonald
was Associate Director of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary
Physics at the University of California, Los Angeles, was a member
of the President's Science Advisory
Committee, and later a member of the President's Council on Environmental
Quality. He published papers on
the use of environmental control technologies for military purposes.
MacDonald made a revealing comment:
"The key to geophysical warfare is the
identification of environmental instabilities to which the addition
of a
small amount of energy would release vastly greater amounts of
energy."
World-recognised scientist MacDonald had a
number of ideas for using the environment as a weapon system
and he contributed to what was, at the time, the dream of a futurist.
When he wrote his chapter, "How to Wreck the Environment",
for the book Unless Peace Comes, he was not kidding around. In
it he describes the use of weather manipulation, climate modification,
polar ice-cap melting or destabilisation, ozone depletion techniques,
earthquake engineering, ocean wave control and brainwave manipulation
using the planet's energy fields. He also said that these types
of weapons would be developed and, when used, would be virtually
undetectable by their victims. Is HAARP that weapon? The military's
intention to do environmental engineering is well-documented.
US Congress's subcommittee hearings on Oceans
and International Environment looked into military weather
and climate modification conducted in the early 1970s. "What
emerged was an awesome picture of far-ranging
research and experimentation by the Department of Defense into
ways environmental tampering could be used
as a weapon," said another author cited in Angels Don't
Play This HAARP.
The revealed secrets surprised legislators.
Would an inquiry into the state of the art of electromagnetic
manipulation surprise lawmakers today? They may find out that
technologies developed out of the HAARP
experiments in Alaska could deliver on Gordon MacDonald's vision,
because leading-edge scientists are
describing global weather as not only air pressure and thermal
systems but also as an electrical system.
SMALL INPUT, BIG EFFECT
HAARP zaps the ionosphere where it is relatively unstable. A
point to remember is that the ionosphere is an
active electrical shield protecting the planet from the constant
bombardment of high-energy particles from
space. This conducting plasma, along with Earth's magnetic field,
traps the electrical plasma of space and holds
it back from going directly to the Earth's surface, says Charles
Yost of Dynamic Systems, Leicester, North
Carolina:
"If the ionosphere is greatly disturbed,
the atmosphere below is subsequently disturbed."
Another scientist interviewed said there is
a super-powerful electrical connection between the ionosphere
and
the part of the atmosphere where our weather comes onstage: the
lower atmosphere.
One manmade electrical effect-power-line harmonic
resonance-causes fallout of charged particles from the
Van Allen (radiation) belts, and the falling ions cause ice crystals
(which precipitate rain clouds).
What about HAARP? Energy blasted upward from
an ionospheric heater is not much compared to the total in
the ionosphere, but HAARP documents admit that thousandfold greater
amounts of energy can be released in
the ionosphere than injected. As with MacDonald's "key to
geophysical warfare", "nonlinear" effects (described
in the literature about the ionospheric heater) mean small input
and large output.
Astrophysicist Adam Trombly told Manning that
an acupuncture model is one way to look at the possible effect
of multi-gigawatt pulsing of the ionosphere. If HAARP hits certain
points, those parts of the ionosphere could
react in surprising ways.
Smaller ionospheric heaters such as the one
at Arecibo are underneath relatively placid regions of the
ionosphere compared to the dynamic movements nearer Earth's magnetic
poles. That adds another uncertainty
to HAARP: the unpredictable and lively upper atmosphere near
the North Pole.
HAARP experimenters do not impress common-sense
Alaskans such as Barbara Zickuhr, who says: "They're like
boys playing with a sharp stick, finding a sleeping bear and
poking it in the butt to see what's going to happen."
COULD THEY SHORT-CIRCUIT THE EARTH?
Earth as a spherical electrical system is a fairly well-accepted
model. However, those experimenters who want
to make unnatural power connections between parts of this system
might not be thinking of possible con-
sequences. Electrical motors and generators can be caused to
wobble when their circuits are affected. Could
human activities cause a significant change in a planet's electrical
circuit or electrical field? A paper in the
respected journal Science deals with manmade ionisation from
radioactive material, but perhaps it could also
be studied with HAARP-type skybusters in mind:
"For example, while changes in the Earth's
electric field resulting from a solar flare modulating conductivity
may have only a barely detectable effect on meteorology, the
situation may be different in regard to electric
field changes caused by manmade ionisation..."
Meteorology, of course, is the study of the
atmosphere and weather. Ionisation is what happens when a higher
level of power is zapped into atoms and knocks electrons off
the atoms. The resulting charged particles are the
stuff of HAARP. "One look at the weather should tell us
that we are on the wrong path," says Paul Schaefer,
commenting on HAARP-type technologies.
Angels Don't Play This HAARP: Advances in
Tesla Technology is about the military's plan to manipulate that
which belongs to the world: the ionosphere. The arrogance of
the United States Government in this is not
without precedent. Atmospheric nuclear tests had similar goals.
More recently, China and France put their
people's money to destructive use in underground nuclear tests.
It was recently reported that the US
Government spent US$3 trillion on its nuclear program since its
beginnings in the 1940s. What new breakt-
hroughs in life science could have been made with all the money
spent on death?
Begich, Manning, Roderick and others believe
that democracies need to be founded on openness rather than
the secrecy which surrounds so much military science. Knowledge
used in developing revolutionary weapons
could be used for healing and helping mankind. Because they are
used in new weapons, discoveries are classified
and suppressed. When they do appear in the work of other independent
scientists, the new ideas are often
frustrated or ridiculed, while military research laboratories
continue to build their new machines for the
killing fields.
However, the book by Manning and Begich gives
hope that the military-industrial-academic-bureaucratic Goliath
can be affected by the combined power of determined individuals
and the alternative press. Becoming informed
is the first step to empowerment.
