HAARP: The Militarys Pandora's Box
By Dr. Nick Begich and Jeane Manning
Earthpulse Press
This article was prepared to provide a summary of the contents of a
book written in 1995 which describes an entirely new class of
weapons. The weapons and their effects are described in the
following pages. The United States Navy and Air Force have joined
with the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, to build a prototype for a
ground based "Star Wars" weapon system located in the remote
bush country of Alaska.
The individuals who are demanding answers about HAARP are
scattered around the planet. As well as bush dwellers in Alaska,
they include: a physician in Finland; a scientist in Holland; an anti-
nuclear protester in Australia; independent physicists in the United
States; a grandmother in Canada, and countless others.
Unlike the protests of the 1960s the objections to HAARP have
been registered using the tools of the 1990s. From the Internet, fax
machines, syndicated talk radio and a number of alternative print
mediums the word is getting out and people are waking up to this
new intrusion by an over zealous United States government.
The research team put together to gather the materials which
eventually found their way into the book never held a formal
meeting, never formed a formal organization. Each person acted
like a node on a planetary info-spirit-net with one goal held by all -
- to keep this controversial new science in the public eye. The
result of the team's effort was a book which describes the science
and the political ramifications of this technology.
That book, Angels Don't Play this HAARP: Advances in Tesla
Technology, has 230 pages. This article will only give the
highlights. Despite the amount of research (350 footnoted sources),
at its heart it is a story about ordinary people who took on an
extraordinary challenge in bringing their research forward.
------
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 40
to 60 miles above the surface of the Earth.)
Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio
telescope; antenna send out signals instead of receiving. HAARP is
the test run for a super-powerful radiowave-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 U.S. 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, Tromso, 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
'runaway' 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 defense 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 disinformation.
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 defense, and to those concerned about cost-cutting.
However, the possible uses which the HAARP records do not
explain, and which can only be found in 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." HAARP is an experiment in
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, defense intelligence organizations
and others. $1.8 billion of their annual sales are to these
organizations, 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
defense contractors in the world. In 1994 Raytheon was listed as
number forty-two on the Fortune 500 list of companies. Raytheon
has thousands of patents, some of which will be valuable in the
HAARP project. The twelve patents below 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 U.S. 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 centimeter, 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
1900's 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 from a powerhouse in the gas fields to the consumer without
wires.
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 eleven 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, Air Force documents revealed that a system
had been developed for manipulating and disturbing 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 Advisory to U.S. President Carter) and
J.F. MacDonald (science advisor to U.S. 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 heath 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 twenty-five years ago
in a book by Brzezinski which he wrote while a professor at
Columbia University:
"Political strategists are tempted to exploit research on the brain
and human behavior. Geophysicist Gordon J.F. MacDonald, a
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 behavior 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 recognized 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 behavior 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
"steppingstones" 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 U.S. 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 of the
ionosphere. These signals are used to look inside the planet to a
depth of many kilometers in order to locate underground munitions,
minerals and tunnels. The U.S. Senate set aside $15 million dollars
in 1996 to develop this ability alone -- earth-penetrating-
tomography. The problem is that the frequency needed for earth-
penetrating radiation 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, T. 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 affect 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 longwave
(extremely-low-frequency, or ELF) pulses the Earth grid uses to
distribute information as vibrations to synchronize dances of life in
the biosphere." Dan terms this geomagnetic action 'Earth's
information bloodstream,' and says it is likely that coupling of
HAARP HF (high-frequency) with natural ELF 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 radiation 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 ion-o-speres 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 the
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 man-made 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
They have published papers about electron precipitation from the
magnetosphere (the outer belts of charged particles which stream
toward Earth's magnetic poles) caused by man-made very low
frequency electromagnetic waves. "These precipitated particles can
produce secondary ionization, 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
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 twenty 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 U.S. 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 Air
Force revealed its Spacecast 2020 master plan which includes
weather control. Scientists have experimented with weather control
since the 1940's, but Spacecast 2020 noted that "using
environmental modification techniques to destroy, damage or injure
another state are prohibited." Having said that, the Air Force
claimed that advances in technology "compels a reexamination of
this sensitive and potentially risky topic."
40 Years of Zapping the Sky?
As far back as 1958, the chief White House advisor on weather
modification, Captain Howard T. Orville, said the U.S. defense
department was studying "ways to manipulate the charges of the
earth and sky and so affect the weather" by using an electronic
beam to ionize or de-ionize 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-
recognized 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 destabilization, ozone depletion techniques, earthquake
engineering, ocean wave control and brain wave 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, U.S. Congress' subcommittee
hearings on Oceans and International Environment looked into
military weather and climate modification conducted in the early
1970's. "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 Angles 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 man-made 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 commonsense 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 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 consequences. 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 ionization 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 ionization... "
Meteorology, of course, is the study of the atmosphere and weather.
ionization 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 $3 trillion dollars on its nuclear program since its
beginnings in the 1940's. What new breakthroughs 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.
