HAARP (High fre-quency Active Auroral Research Program) is to be a major
Arctic facility for upper atmospheric and solar-terrestrial research. Scheduled
for completion in 2002, HAARP is being built on a DoD-owned site near Gakona,
Alaska. Principal instruments include a high power, high-frequency (HF) phased
array radio transmitter (known as the Ionospheric Research Instru-ment, or
IRI), used to stimulate small, well defined volumes of ionosphere, and an
ultrahigh frequency (UHF) incoherent scatter radar (ISR), used to measure
electron densities, electron and ion temperatures, and Doppler velocities
in the stimulated region and in the natural ionosphere. To further the scientific
capabilities and usefulness of the IRI and ISR, HAARP is supporting the design
and installation of the latest in modern geophysical research instruments,
including an HF ionosonde, ELF and VLF re-ceivers, magnetometers, rio-meters,
a LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) and optical and infrared spectro-meters
and cameras which will be used to observe the complex natural variations
of Alaska's ionosphere as well as to detect artificial effects produced by
the IRI.

Is HAARP Really Unique?

 

Ionospheric research facilities have been in continuous use since the
early 50's to investigate fundamental physical principles which govern the
earth's ionosphere, so that present and future transmission technologies
may take into account the complexities of the ionosphere. At the present
time the US operates two ionospheric research sites, one in Puerto Rico,
near the Arecibo Observatory, the other (known as HIPAS) in Alaska near
Fairbanks. Both of these employ active and passive radio instrumentation
similar to that being built at HAARP. Interest in the ionosphere is not limited
to the US: a five-country consortium runs the European Incoherent Scatter
Radar site (EISCAT), a premier world-class ionospheric research facility
located in northern Norway near Tromsø. Facilities also are located
at Jicamarca, Peru; near Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod ("SURA") and Apatity, Russia;
near Kharkov, Ukraine and in Dushanbe, Tadzhikistan. All of these installations
have as their primary purpose the study of the ionosphere, and most employ
the capability of stimulating to a varying degree small, localized regions
of the ionosphere to discover in a controlled manner what nature produces
at random. HAARP also will have such a capability, but what sets HAARP apart
from existing facilities is the unusual combination of a research tool which
provides electronic beam steering, wide frequency coverage and high effective
radiated power collocated with a diverse suite of scientific obser-vational
instruments.

 

Who is Building HAARP?

 

Technical expertise and procurement services as required for the management,
admin-istration and evaluation of the program are being provided cooperatively
by the Air Force (Phillips Laboratory) and Navy (Office of Naval Research
and Naval Research Laboratory). Since HAARP consists of many individual items
of scientific equipment, both large and small, there is a considerable list
of commercial, academic and government organizations which are contributing
to the building of the facility by developing scientific diagnostic
instru-mentation and by providing guidance in the specification, design and
development of the IRI. Advanced Power Tech-nologies, Inc. (APTI), a subsidiary
of E-Systems, Inc. which is wholly owned by Raytheon Corporation, was awarded
the contract to design and build the IRI, based on a proposal submitted in
response to an RFP issued by the Office of Naval Research and published in
the Commerce Business Daily. Other organizations which have contributed to
the program in-clude the University of Alaska, University of Massachusetts,
UCLA, MIT, Stanford Uni-versity, Clemson University, University of Tulsa,
University of Maryland, Cornell University, SRI International, and Geospace,
Inc.

What is the Value of Ionospheric Research?

 

The ionosphere begins approximately 35 miles above the earth's surface
and extends out beyond 500 miles. In contrast to the dense atmosphere close
to the earth which is composed almost entirely of neutral gas, the thin
ionosphere contains both neutral gas and charged particles known as ions
and electrons. This ionized medium can distort, reflect and absorb radio
signals, and thus can affect numerous civilian and military communications,
navi-gation, surveillance and remote sensing systems in many varied ways.
For example, the performance of a satellite-to-ground communication link
is affected by the ionosphere through which the signals pass. AM broadcast
programs, which in the daytime can be heard only within a few tens of miles
from the station, at night sometimes can be heard hundreds of miles away,
due to the change from poor daytime to good nighttime reflection from the
ionosphere. A long-range HF communic-ation link which uses multiple hops
or reflections from the ionosphere, often experiences amplitude fading caused
by interference between signals which have traveled from the transmitter
to the receiver by two (or more) different ionospheric paths.

Since the sun's radia-tion creates and maintains the ionosphere, sudden
variations in this radiation such as those caused by solar flares can affect
the performance of radio systems. Sometimes the changes are sufficient to
induce large transient currents in electric
power transmission grids, causing widespread power
outages. Lightning is known to cause substantial
heating and ionization density enhancement in the lower ionosphere, and there
are indications that ground-based HF transmitters, including radar and strong
radio stations, also modify the ionosphere and influence the performance
of systems whose paths traverse the modified region. Perhaps the most famous
example of the latter is the "Luxembourg" effect, first observed in 1933.
In this case a weak Swiss radio station appeared to be modulated with signals
from the powerful Luxembourg station, which was transmitting at a completely
different frequency. Music from the Luxembourg station was picked up at the
frequency of the Swiss station.

The proliferation of space-based civilian and military systems whose
performance depends on transionospheric paths encourages not only good
characterization and monitoring of the ionospheric state, but also an examination
of what con-trolled local modification of the ionosphere, using ground HF
transmitters, could do for and to these systems. Thus, while the HAARP facility
is expected to provide significant advance-ments in understanding ionos-pheric
science by stimulating and controlling plasma processes in a tiny localized
region within the ionosphere, it also has the potential for significantly
affect-ing the planning and economics of space-based systems.

 

Why is the DoD Involved?

 

The Department of De-fense (DoD) conducts Arctic research to ensure the
develop-ment of the knowledge, understanding and capability to meet national
defense needs in the Arctic. Interest in ionos-pheric research at HAARP stems
both from the multiplicity of communication, surveillance and navigation
systems that have radio paths which pass through the ionosphere, and from
the unexplored potential of tech-nological innovations which suggest applications
such as detecting underground objects, communicating to great depths in the
sea or earth, and generating infrared and optical emissions. Expanding our
knowledge about the interactions of signals passing through or reflecting
from the ionosphere can help to solve future problems in the development
of DoD systems, and could as well enhance the utilization of commercial systems
which rely on the expedient transfer of real-time communications.

 

Why Gakona, Alaska?

 

During HAARP's envir-onmental impact study, Gakona was identified as
one of two DoD-owned, Alaskan locations which satisfied the site selection
criteria of being within the auroral zone, near a major highway for year-round
access, away from densely settled areas, of sufficient size to allow for
equipment sitting and separation space, on relatively flat terrain, of realistic
and reasonable construction and operation costs as well as minimal environ-mental
impacts. On October 18, 1993 following the July 15, 1993 issuance of the
Air Force's Environmental Impact State-ment which evaluated potential
environmental effects of con-structing and operating the HAARP facility,
a Record of Decision (ROD) signed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the
Air Force for Installations selected Gakona as the HAARP site.

 

Location of the HAARP Facility in Gakona, Alaska

 

The access road is located at Milepost 11.3 on the Tok highway. The
geographic coordinates of the IRI array are approximately 62 deg 23.5'N,
145 deg 8.8'W.

What is the IRI and what does it transmit?

Basically, the IRI is what is known as a phased array transmitter. It
is designed to transmit a narrow beam of high power radio signals in the
2.8 to 10 MHz frequency range. Its antenna is to be constructed on a 1000'
x 1200' gravel pad (about 33 acres). There are to be 180 towers, 72' in height
mounted on thermopiles spaced 80' apart in a 12 x 15 rectangular grid, each
of which supports near its top, two pairs of crossed dipole antennas, one
for the low band (2.8 to 7 MHz), the other for the high band (7 to 10 MHz).
To prevent possible damage to the antenna towers or harm to large animals,
an exclusion fence has been constructed around the array. An elevated ground
screen attached at the 15' level acts as a reflector for the antenna array
while allowing vehicular access under-neath to the 30 environmentally controlled
transmitter shelters spaced throughout the array. Each shelter contains 6
pairs of 10 kW transmitters, for a total of 6 x 30 x 2 x 10 kW = 3600 kW
available for transmission. The transmitters can be switched to drive either
the low or high band antennas. Electric prime power is to be obtained from
six, 2500 kW generators, each driven by a 3600 hp diesel engine. From a control
room within the Operations Center the trans-missions from each dipole are
adjusted in amplitude and phase so as to form a narrow beam directed upward
toward the ionosphere. The beam is part-ially absorbed, at an altitude which
depends on the HF frequency, in a small volume a few hundred meters thick,
the remainder either reflecting back toward the earth or continuing through
the ionosphere into space. The intensity of the HF beam in the ionosphere
is of the order of a few milliwatt/m2, hundreds of times less than the variations
in intensity of the Sun's natural ultraviolet (UV) energy which creates the
ionosphere.

 

Are these transmissions harmful?

 

Because the IRI beam will be directed upward, rather than toward the
horizon, radio field strengths at ground level, including directly under
the antenna array, are calculated to be smaller than Radio frequency Radiation
(RFR) standards allow for human exposure. This is possible because the individual
transmitters are spaced apart over 33 acres so that the concentration of
radio fields never exceeds the RFR stand-ards. Radio field strengths on the
ground around the array were measured during the April 1995 tests of the
Development Prototype, and show good agreement with the calculations. At
the point of closest public access on the Tok Highway, the measured fields
are ten-thousand times smaller than permitted by the RFR standards and
one-thousand times smaller than typically found near AM broadcast station
antennas.

 

What about aircraft?

(More propaganda)

 

The upward-directed IRI main beam radio fields may have sufficient strength
to interfere with electronic equipment in aircraft flying nearby. Therefore,
to ensure the safety of all flight operations in the vicinity of HAARP, an
aircraft alert radar (AAR) will automatically shut off appro-priate transmissions
when aircraft are detected either within or approaching a defined safety
zone around the facility. Flight tests conducted using a Piper Super Cub
demonstrated the capability of the Raytheon radar to detect even very small
targets. Ensuring correct opera-tion of the AAR will be a prelude to starting
high power transmissions.

 

(NOTE,

possible scenarios - food for thought)

 

Remember the crash in Colombia South America? The aircraft veered
off to the left (a problem reported by another
pilot) and struck the mountain east of the aircraft's
planned course. The crash occurred at night. Even if the pilot realized his
aircraft was off course while on auto pilot, it takes at least 15 minutes
to gain control of the aircraft and bring it back on course. So please think
about it, How far will an aircraft travel in 15 minutes? How far off course
was the aircraft when it crashed into the mountain? Would the pilot have
had time to gain control of the aircraft to prevent the crash?
(I don't think so!)
(Was the HAARP installation in Puerto Rico turned on at the time of the crash?)
What happened to the aircraft that took off from Dominican Republic? Isn't
that near Puerto Rico? The day the Valujet crashed Big Spring Texas was having
a grapefruit size hail storm. Another commercial aircraft flying through
Montana, experienced navigation problems, at the same time Montana was having
a golf ball size hail storm. On the 28 of May 1996 a commercial aircraft
flying from Amsterdam to Orlando Fla. experienced navigation prob-lems and
had to make an emergency landing in Boston.

 

(Fact)

October 2, 1996 LIMA, Peru--A failed computer navigation system most likely
allowed a pilot to become lost in dense early morning mist, causing a Peruvian
jet to crash into the Pacific Ocean Wednesday, killing all 70 people
aboard.

The Peruvian govern-ment blamed the crash on
"technical failures,"
without elaborating. The flight crashed shortly after takeoff from Lima;
it was bound for Santiago, Chile.

"It seems there was a blockage in the computer system," said Peruvian
Trans-portation Minister Elsa Carrera de Escalante.

"I don't have any instruments," he said,
accord-ing to Carrera, who heard a tape of the Pilots’
conversation with the control tower in
Lima. "What's happening? What altitude
am I at? Why is my ground crash alarm on? Am I over land or sea?"

"You're over sea," the tower
reported.

Fishermen at sea when the plane crashed said they saw a flash of light
and heard the dull impact.

This is the second
major plane crash this year in Peru. On February
29, a Faucett Airlines plane crashed in southern Peru, killing all 123 aboard.
It was the worst air accident in Peru's history.

Isn’t it strange all the planes crashed
just after take off, or while on approach to land?

 

What is the potential for Radio and computer Frequency Interference
(RFI)?

 

(More propaganda)

 

Every radio transmitting facility
has the poten-tial to interfere with other radio spectrum
users.
To determine the likelihood that HAARP's
transmissions inad-vertently might interfere with Alaskan TV, AM/FM radio,
ham radio, animal tracking receivers, cellular phones, satellite links, aircraft
navi-gation and communications equipment, pipeline communi-cations, or even
with HAARP's own sensitive radio receiving equipment, a comprehensive RFI
study was conducted. Theory predicted that in several
worst-case scenarios, interference may be encountered by some users sharing
the RF spectrum. On the other hand, the real world experiences of similar
ionos-pheric research instruments and radar diagnostics employed elsewhere
in the world suggest that compatible operations are practical. Included in
HAARP's frequency application to the Spectrum Planning Subcom-mittee of the
National Tele-communications and Infor-mation Administration (NTIA) is the
commitment to a mitigation program that includes acquisition of state-of-the-art
transmitters with stringent requirements for minimizing out-of-band
transmissions; proper orientation of the IRI array and adoption of operating
procedures, including beam steering, to minimize array sidelobes; employing
special techniques such as waveform shaping, filtering and antenna null
placement; and working with affected spectrum users, if any, to reach mutually
agreeable solutions. A local phone number (907) 822-5497, permits anyone
believing they have interference from HAARP to contact the Gakona site operations
center.

 

What really is the RFI Resolution Advisory Com-mittee?

 

The Record of Decision stipulated than an RFI Reso-lution Advisory Committee
"Committee") would be formed with local representation, to help mitigate
potential RFI issues. The local community appointed resident would serve
as an ombuds-man to ensure com-munity satisfaction with the RFI mitigation
approaches under-taken by HAARP. The purpose of the Committee is to provide
a forum for the thorough review of confirmed RFI reports. The first
organizational Committee meet-ing took place on December 6, 1995 in Glennallen.
Committee members were from the following organizations (one from each):
Community-appointed resident, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA),
ALAS-COM, Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., American Radio Relay League (ARRL),
Coast Guard, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Fish & Wildlife
(Federal), Fish & Game (State), HAARP Environmental Liaison Officer,
HAARP operational staff (site supervisor or delegate), HAARP Program appointed
chair person, National Park Service, Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), and
the combined Alaska military command (ALCOM) frequency coordinator.

To ensure that all concerns, including aircraft safety as well as radio
frequency interference issues, are ad-dressed completely before the IRI operates
at full power, a Development Prototype (DP) has been constructed and is being
operated at the Gakona site. A 6 x 8 array of crossed dipole antennas was
built as the NE corner of the 12 x 15 IRI antenna field, and a 3 x 6 subset
of these are energized by 18 pairs of 10 kW transmitters, contained in three
separate shelters, thus supplying up to a maximum of 360 kW. Prime power
is obtained from three 300 kW diesel generators.

Calculations of ex-pected HF fields in the vicinity of the DP antenna
array show that field intensities everywhere, including within the DP beam,
are below recommended inter-national safety limits for fly-by-wire aircraft.
Nonetheless, the DP will be energized only when the aircraft alert radar
is operating, to insure that no high power transmissions occur when there
is local flight traffic. Operation and test of the DP will verify the system
design, identify any radio frequency interference problems resulting from
spurious and/or harmonic emissions and permit mitigation measures to be tested
and employed, if necessary.

 

HAARP Diagnostics

 

HAARP is developing an extensive set of diagnostic instrumentation to
support ionospheric research at auroral latitudes, to characterize the processes
triggered in the upper atmosphere and ionosphere by high power radio waves
and to assess the potential of ionos-pheric modification technology for DoD
applications. While some of the diagnostic instruments would be collocated
with the IRI at the research facility, others, due to geometrical considerations,
must be located off-site at various distances from the IRI. One of the primary
active on-site diagnostics is to be the incoherent scatter radar (ISR) which
would transmit radiowave signals in the 430 - 450 MHz band. Another is the
HF ionosonde, which transmits in the 1-30 MHz band and is used to provide
scientists with infor-mation about the 0electron density profile in the
ionosphere. The LIDAR can detect minute concentrations of atmospheric pollutants
such as stratospheric ozone.

Passive on-site instru-ments include a magnetometer for the measurement
of the earth's magnetic field and its variations, and a riometer (relative
ionospheric opacity meter) to sense ionospheric absorption of the celestial
back-ground electromagnetic radi-ation. The radio spectrum from 100 kHz to
1 GHz is being recorded to determine frequency of usage and to monitor HAARP
transmissions to ensure adher-ence to FCC and NTIA require-ments. The diagnostic
infor-mation will be combined into an integrated data package which eventually
will be available on the internet in near real time, allowing scientists
to participate in the investigations directly from their laboratories. In
addition to the instruments specifically developed by HAARP, a number of
diag-nostics potentially are available through other federal agencies and
the University of Alaska's Geophysical Institute.

 

Use of Local Resources

The Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF)
has played a major role in the development of diagnostics and coordination
of Arctic programs with the US scientific community. UAF led a consortium
of universities and industries which provided support in the design and
development of the Gakona facility and associated diagnostic instruments.

Advanced Power Technologies, Inc. (APTI), the prime contractor for the
IRI, utilized Eric Goozen for initial site survey work. APTI employed a
Glennallen based company, Ahtna Construction, Inc., which subcontracted to
Cruz, Survey Alaska and Double S Trucking for clearing and constructing the
DP gravel pad. Ahtna also is providing nightly security coverage

Anchorage based engineering firms Duane Miller & Associates and USKH
prepared the civil and pad design work and conducted the on-site testing
and evaluation. Arctic Foundation of Anchorage designed and manufactured,
and Kiewit Pacific Company installed, thermopiles in the pad, using Amtec,
Inc. to survey the thermopile locations and Tester Drilling and EBA Engineering
to provide drilling support. Acme Fence Company installed fencing, using
the services of Mark Lappi to survey the fence lines and B&B Plumbing
to steam thaw the ground for drilling. City Electric, Inc. erected the towers,
antennas, and ground screen. Alaska Detroit Diesel delivered, wired and tested
the three diesel generators which power the DP transmitters and Service Oil
delivered and placed the 5000 gallon DOT-approved tanker. Copper Valley Telephone
installed the tele-phone lines, and Copper Valley Electric supplies commercial
housekeeping power. Newbery Alaska in-stalled the electrical distribution
lines and provided the pole for the aircraft alert radar antenna. Bishop
& Sons Enterprises supplies water, while CBS Service provides trash removal
and sewage disposal. Harley McMahon flew sorties to test the capabilities
of the aircraft alert radar and provide the opportunity for aerial
photo-graphy.

Current/Future Operations at the HAARP Research Facility.

 

Completing the De-velopment Prototype testing is the primary goal of
the current operations at HAARP. Initial DP tests were conducted during 15
December 1994 to 12 April 1995, and follow-on tests are scheduled for 24
July through 11 August 1995. Future milestones include: initiating research
with the DP itself in mid-September 1995, using it both to generate ELF for
the first time and as a transmitter in a cooperative experiment with HIPAS;
con-ducting another ELF campaign in March 1996; and filling the DP antenna
array with an additional 30 transmitter-pairs by summer 1997. During the
campaigns the researchers would depend on the local economy for subsistence
and other necessities. Both on and off-site diagnostic instruments are providing
data on the natural high latitude ionosphere and supporting re-search at
the HIPAS facility near Chena Hot Springs. Currently these include a
magnetometer, ELF/VLF receivers, an imaging riometer, a 30 Mhz riometer and
a spectrum monitor.

 

Environmental Process

 

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), an
environ-mental impact statement (EIS) evaluated the consequences of constructing
and operating the HAARP research facility in Alaska. The EIS discusses impacts
on such diverse topics as electromagnetic and radio frequency interference,
vege-tation, wetlands, wildlife, air quality, subsistence, cultural resources,
atmosphere and others.

State and federal envir-onmental regulatory agencies were consulted to
identify issues, and additional input was solicited from the public during
scoping meetings held in Anchorage and Glennallen, Alaska in August 1992.
A draft of the EIS was prepared and distributed to the public and to specific
organizations on March 12, 1993. Public hearings were held in Glennallen
and Anderson, municipalities close to the sites under consideration. The
final EIS was released to the public on July 15, 1993 and the Record of Decision
selecting Gakona, Alaska as the site for the HAARP Ionospheric Re-search
Facility was signed on October 18, 1993.

In addition to the NEPA process described above, all applicable state
and federal regulations for construction and operation of the HAARP facility
are being complied with.

This is an aerial view, looking east, of the HAARP Developmental Prototype
Array located near Gakona, Alaska. The small pad in the lower left corner
of the photograph is being used for the two Riometers currently operating
at the site.

Each of the 48 antenna elements in the DP array consists of two crossed
dipole antennas, oriented approx-imately North-South and East-West. There
are separate crossed dipoles for the low frequency (2.8-7 MHz) and the high
frequency (7 - 10 MHz) bands. Each of the crossed dipoles in the IRI will
be driven by a dedicated transmitter, two of which are contained in a transmitter
cabinet. Thus, a transmitter cabinet is dedicated to a complete crossed dipole
pair. In the DP, only 18 of the 48 antenna elements are actually connected
to transmitters, how-ever, and these are shown in red in the figure presented
above. All of the transmitters are housed in environmentally controlled shelters,
each of which can accommodate six transmitter cabinets. The exist-ing transmitter
shelters are shown in yellow in the above figure. Primary power for each
of the shelters is currently obtained from independent diesel generator sets
located adjacent to the shelters. None of the power required by the transmitters
is obtained from the commercial power grid.

ANGELS DON’T PLAY THIS HAARP

 

Alaskan Nick Begich Jr., who recently got a doctorate in the study
of alternative medicine from a school based in Sri Lanka, has written and
published a new book in which he alleges that HAARP could lead to "global
vandalism" and effect people's "mental func-tions."

Project HAARP:

 

The Pentagon's provoc-ative plan to superheat the earth's ionosphere
The HAARP phased-array transmitter zaps the earth's ionosphere with
high-frequency radio waves. In an Arctic compound 200 miles east of Anchorage,
Alaska, the Pentagon has erected a powerful transmitter designed to beam
more than a gigawatt of energy into the upper reaches of the atmosphere.
Known as Project HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program),
the $30 million experiment involves the world's
largest "ionos-pheric heater," a prototype device
designed to zap the skies hundreds of miles above the earth with high-frequency
radio waves.

Why irradiate the charged particles of the ionos-phere (which when energized
by natural processes make up the lovely and famous phenomenon known as the
Northern Lights)? According to the U.S. Navy and Air Force, co-sponsors of
the project, "to observe the complex natural variations of Alaska's ionosphere."
That, says the Pentagon, and also to develop new forms of communications
and surveillance technologies that will enable the military to send signals
to nuclear submarines and to peer deep underground.

 

50 Greatest Conspiracies first reported on HAARP more than a year ago.

 

Since then, inquiring Internauts have blamed the peculiar project for
everything from UFO activity to major power outages in the Western United
States, to, most recently, the downing of TWA Flight 800. (The Pentagon maintains
that the HAARP array has been inactive since late last year.) Some have dubbed
it the "Pentagon's doomsday death ray." Though many of these theories are,
well, creatively amplified, an assortment of more grounded
critics--environment-alists, Native Americans and Alaskan citizens among
them--argue that the military does indeed have Strangelovian plans for this
unusual hardware, applications ranging from "Star Wars" missile defense schemes
to weather modification plots and perhaps even mind control experiments.

The HAARP complex is situated within a 23-acre lot in a relatively isolated
region near the town of Gakona. When the final phase of the project is completed
in 1997, the military will have erected 180 towers, 72 feet in height, forming
a "high-power, high frequency phased array radio transmitter" capable of
beaming in the 2.5-10 megahertz frequency range, at more than 3 gigawatts
of power (3 million watts).

TESLA'S BRAIN

 

By Bill Crawford

One evening during the last summer of the 19th century, an eccentric
Serbian inventor steps outside his electrical laboratory. Dressed in a Prince
Albert coat and black derby, he looks up at the 200-foot tower

he's built in the shadow of Pike's Peak.

"Now! Close the switch!" he shouts to his assistant. Inside the lab,
the assistant slams home the switch on a mammoth "magnifying transmitter."
Current surges through the giant electrical coil; the earth vibrates. An
eerie blue light fills the lab. Lightning bolts shoot into the Colorado sky.
Thunder splits the evening air, turning the heads of ranchers 15 miles away.
Townspeople panic as the 12-million-volt surge knocks out the Colorado Springs
power station and sets it ablaze. Inventor Nikola Tesla smiles: His newborn
electrical forces are nothing compared with the electrical impulses in his
own mind.

Tesla was wired differently from most people. By age 12, he could recite
logarithmic tables by heart, but his thoughts were frequently interrupted
by visions and brilliant flashes of light. To overcome his paralyzing mental
storms, the boy trained his mind to create imaginary worlds. At 17, Tesla
focused his mind on machines. He imagined a turbine that would transform
the energy of Niagara Falls into electricity and revised his designs mentally,
at lightning speed.

At the University of Prague, Tesla's obsession with electric-motor design
grew. So did his eccentricity. Before he allowed himself to eat, he calculated
the cubic contents of soup plates, cups and pieces of food. A fly landing
on a table thudded in his ears. Disturbed by the sensation of the ground
trembling beneath him, Tesla supported his bed on rubber cushions. "I am
an exceptionally accurate instrument of reception, in other words, a seer,"
Tesla wrote. "But such a surtax of the brain is fraught with great danger
to life."

Overtaxed, the young engineer's mind shut down completely. For therapy,
Tesla took to walking through Prague's City Park, where at sunset, an "idea
came like a flash of lightning, and in an instant, the truth was revealed."
With a stick, he drew a diagram of a motor in the sand--one that would use
alternating current to change electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Tesla built a model of his electrical motor but was unable to sell it
to anyone, including Thomas Edison. The Wizard of Menlo Park had already
invested heavily in direct current and had no use for a motor that was based
on an entirely incompatible system. Finally, backed by J.P. Morgan, Tesla
founded his own company and reached an agreement with George Westinghouse
to bring his innovative electrification system to the world.

Twenty-five million visitors at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago
stared in awe as 200,000 light bulbs illuminated the fairgrounds--each one
powered by alternating current. Many stopped in at the Westinghouse display
room to watch as Nikola Tesla, elegant in white tie and tails, demonstrated
the dazzling effects of high-frequency equipment in front of neon signs of
his own creation. Three years later, Tesla's electrical generating and
transmission systems were installed at Niagara Falls. A high tension line
carried electrical power 22 miles to Buffalo--a feat Edison's direct current
system could never accomplish. Tesla's generating, transmission and power
systems transformed electricity from an urban curiosity to the world's most
popular source of energy.

But Tesla would not rest until he could transmit electrical energy without
wires. In 1899, he built a laboratory in the mountains outside Colorado Springs
and created an enormous resonating trans-former--a Tesla Coil--to send
high-voltage, low-frequency transmissions through the earth. "The entire
earth will be converted into a huge brain," Tesla wrote, "capable of response
in every one of its parts."

Man-made lightning bolts were the closest Tesla ever came to wireless
energy transmission. After 1905, funding dried up. Though the inventor's
mind never rested, it grew muddled. He spent the final decade of his life
residing at the Hotel New Yorker, hanging out with boxers and talking with
the pigeons that flocked around him in Manhattan's parks.

Yet neither Tesla's poverty nor his addled mind made him bitter. "For
many years, my life was little short of continuous rapture," he stated not
long before his death in 1943. "I have thrived on my thoughts."

According to the Navy and Air Force, HAARP "will be used to introduce
a small, known amount of energy into a specific ionospheric layer" anywhere
from several miles to several tens of miles in radius. Not surprisingly,
Navy and Air Force PR (posted on the official HAARP World Wide Web Internet
site, an effort to combat the bad press the project has generated), down-plays
both the environmental impacts of the project and purported offensive uses
of the technology.

However, a series of patents owned by the defense contractor managing
the HAARP project suggests that the Pentagon might indeed have more ambitious
designs. In fact, one of those patents was classified by the Navy for several
years during the 1980s. The key document in the bunch is U.S. Patent number
4,686,605, considered by HAARP critics to be the "smoking raygun," so to
speak. Held by ARCO Power Technologies, Inc.

(APTI), the ARCO subsidiary contracted to build HAARP, this patent describes
an ionospheric heater very similar to the HAARP heater invented by Bernard
J. Eastlund, a Texas physicist. In the patent--sub-sequentially published
on the Internet by foes of HAARP--Eastlund describes a fantastic offensive
and defensive weapon that would do any megalo-maniacal James Bond super villain
proud.

According to the patent, Eastlund's invention would heat plumes of charged
particles in the ionosphere, making it possible to, for starters, selectively
"disrupt microwave transmissions of satellites" and "cause interference with
or even total disruption of communi-cations over a large portion of the earth."
But like his hopped up ions, Eastlund was just warming up. Per the patent
text, the physicist's "method and apparatus for altering a region in the
earth's atmosphere" would also:

• "cause confusion of or interference with or even complete
disruption of guid-ance systems employed by even the most sophisticated of
air-planes and missiles";

• "not only...interfere with third-party communi-cations,
but [also] take advantage of one or more such beams to carry out a communications
network at the

same time. Put another way, what is used to disrupt another's communications
can be employed by one knowledgeable of this invention as a communications
network at the same time";

• "pick up communi-cation signals of others for intelligence
purposes";

• facilitate "missile or aircraft destruction, deflection,
or confusion" by lifting large regions of the atmosphere "to

an unexpectedly high altitude so that missiles encounter unexpected and
unplanned drag forces with resultant destruction or deflection of same."

If Eastlund's brainchild sounds like a recipe for that onetime Cold War
panacea, the Strategic Defense Initiative (AKA "Star Wars" ), it's probably
no

coincidence. The APTI/-Eastlund patent was filed during the final days
of the Reagan administration, when plans for high-tech missile defense systems
were still all the rage. But Eastlund's blue-sky vision went far beyond the
usual Star Wars prescriptions of the day and suggested even more unusual
uses for his patented ionospheric heater.

"Weather modification,"

the patent states, "is possible by....altering upper atmospheric wind
patterns or altering solar absorption patterns by con-structing one or more
plumes of particles which will act as a lens or focusing device." As a result,
and artificially heated could focus a "vast amount of sunlight on selected
portions of the earth."

HAARP officials deny any link to Eastlund's patents or plans. But several
key details suggest otherwise. For starters, APTI, holder of the Eastlund
patents, continues to manage the HAARP project. During the summer of 1994,
ARCO sold APTI to E-Systems, a defense contractor known for counter-surveillance
projects. E-Systems, in turn, is currently owned by Raytheon, one of the
world's largest defense contractors and maker of the SCUD-busting Patriot
missile. All of which suggests that more than just simple atmospheric science
is going on in the HAARP compound.

What's more, one of the APTI / Eastlund patents singles out Alaska as
the ideal site for a high frequency ionospheric heater because "magnetic
field lines... which extend to desirable altitudes for this invention, intersect
the earth in Alaska." APTI also rates Alaska as an ideal location given its
close proximity to an ample source of fuel to power the project: the vast
reserves of natural gas in the North Slope region--reserves owned by APTI
parent company ARCO. Eastlund also contradicts the official military line.
He told National Public Radio that a secret military project to develop his
work was launched during the late 1980s.

And in the May/June 1994 issue of Microwave News, Eastlund suggested
that "The HAARP project obviously looks a lot like the first step" toward
the designs outlined in his patents.

Eastlund's patent really trips into conspiratorial territory in its
"References Cited" section. Two of the sources documented by Eastlund are
New York Times articles from 1915 and 1940 profiling Nikola Tesla, a giant
in the annals of Con-spiratorial History. Tesla, a brilliant inventor and
contemp-orary of Edison, developed hundreds of patents during his lifetime,
and is often credited with developing radio before Marconi, among a host
of other firsts. Of course, mainstream science has never fully acknowledged
Tesla's contri-butions, and his later pronoun-cements (he vowed that he had
developed a technology that could split the earth asunder) have left him
straddling that familiar historical territory where genius meets crackpot.
Not surprisingly, fringe science and conspiracy theory have made Tesla something
of a patron saint. Whenever, talk radio buzz or Internet discussion turns
to alleged government experiments to cause earth-quakes or modify weather,
references to government-suppressed "Tesla Technology" are sure to follow.

Of course, mainstream science has never fully acknowledged Tesla's

fringe science and conspiracy theory have made Tesla something of a patron
saint. Whenever, talk radio buzz or Internet discussion turns to alleged
government experiments to cause earth-quakes or modify weather, references
to govern-ment-suppressed "Tesla Technology" are sure to follow.

Judging from the APTI patent, Tesla was a major inspiration for Eastlund
ionos-pheric heater. The first New York Times article, dated September 22,
1940, reports that Tesla, then 84 years old, "stands ready to divulge to
the United States Government the secret of his 'teleforce,' with which, he
said, airplane motors would be melted at a distance of 250 miles, so that
an invisible Chinese Wall of Defense would be built around the country."
Quoting Tesla, the Times story continues: "This new type of force, Mr. Tesla
said, would operate through a beam one hundred-millionth of a square centimeter
in diameter, and could be generated from a special plant that would cost
no more than $2,000,000 and would take only about three months to
construct."

The second New York Times story, dated December 8, 1915, describes one
of Tesla's more well known patents, a transmitter that would "project electrical
energy in any amount to any distance and apply it for innumerable purposes,
both in war and peace."

The similarity of Tesla's ideas to Eastlund's invention are remarkable,
and by extension the overlap between Tesla and HAARP technology is downright
intriguing. Apparently, APTI and the Pentagon are taking Eastlund's--and
by extension, Tesla's--ideas seriously.

Eastlund seems to agree As he told one journalist-/conspiracy pathfinder:
"HAARP is the perfect first step towards a plan like mine.

...The government will say it isn't so, but if it quacks like a duck
and it looks like a duck, there's a good chance it is a duck."

Agent X Forecasts

"Baked Alaska"

 

Broken Promises

Finally: A "Doomsday Death Ray" with Northern Exposure 3/19/95--When you
think Sources of Arctic Anxiety, you naturally think hypothermia, leaky
pipe-lines, Exxon Valdez. Well, residents of the Last Frontier--and maybe
the rest of us--have something new to fret about. A six-year-old Pentagon
project being conducted 200 miles east of Anchorage, Alaska, is getting a
chilly reception from locals, and not without good reason. The U.S. Air Force
and Navy's High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project (HAARP) is officially
described as an effort to beam radio waves into the Aurora Borealis to turn
the "Northern Lights" into a gigantic transmitter capable of bouncing signals
to nuclear submarines. That, anyway, was the explanation given when the project
began during the last act of the Cold War.

Now, however, locals are worried that the little-publicized experiment
has taken on much more ambitious, Strangelovian proportions--including
StarWars weapons
applications, surveillance capa-bilities, and perhaps even weather modification.

According the flam-boyant conspiratologist known as "Agent X," HAARP's
phased-array transmitters are intended to "heat" the ionosphere, the uppermost
portion of the earth's atmosphere, which is composed mainly of charged particles:
"HAARP will excite these particles by injecting more than a gigawatt (one
billion watts) of electromagnetic radiation into the earth's atmosphere,
in the form of high frequency radio waves," writes Agent X in an article
that can be found bouncing around the Internet and in the current issue of
The Nose magazine (#26). Per Agent X, the project is set for a $75 million
expansion next year, which will pump up the volume to 1.7 gigawatts--creating
the most powerful transmitter on the planet.

The Pentagon and Alaska's governor's office deny that HAARP has any
super-secret weapons applications. But physicist Bernard Eastlund, who developed
the technology at ARCO, has described his original plan as an opportunity
to use the transmitter to shoot down missiles and alter the weather. Per
Agent X, H-Bomb pater-and-Star Wars zealot Edward Teller caught wind of ARCO's
research and from there the military took charge.

Under the Pentagon's stewardship, Eastlund tells Agent X, "HAARP is the
perfect first step towards a plan like mine. Advances in phased-array transmitter
technology and power generation can produce the field strength required.
The government will say it isn't so, but if it quacks like a duck and it
looks like a duck, there's a good chance it is a duck."

With a transmitter as powerful as HAARP, the military (theoretically
at least) would be able to use the ionosphere as a "resonant mirror" to direct
an electronic beam back to specific points on the earth. Thus, the energy
could be used as a "sort of CAT scan for the planet," with the ability to
"see" underground, submits Agent X. More powerful signals might be used to
supercharge the electrons in the ionosphere, thereby exploding any missile
traveling through that layer of the atmosphere. Even more insidious uses
might include a more potent version of weapons used against Iraq during the
Gulf War: pulsed electro-magnetic radiation bounced off the ionosphere and
aimed at power grids, delicate micro-electronics, missile guidance systems,
and perhaps even human "brain chemistry." Agent X also speculates that an
overheated upper atmosphere might affect weather patterns, giving the military
the deity-like ability to smite its enemies with floods or droughts.

The Air Force insists that it is only "looking at" the ionosphere, not
zapping it like dimestore demigods. Still, as an unnamed Air Force factotum
put it to Agent X, "The real beauty of HAARP is that nothing you can see
on the outside is sensitive. The secret is the beam-steering agility and
pulsing of the transmissions. . . . When covert operations occur, the science
team, the operating funds and the mission will all be black." Soon as our
brain chemistry goes supercritical, we'll let you know. Assuming we know
about it, that is.

 

Inslaw Update

 

On 3/19/95--The latest issue of Wired magazine contains a quick update
on the Inslaw software theft conspiracy. The background on the Reagan-era
scandal that wouldn't die is covered at length in 50 Greatest Conspiracies
of All Time, but to recap ever so briefly: As part of a Reagan administration
intell-igence operation, Justice De-partment officials allegedly ripped off
a software program called PROMIS, which was developed by a tiny private company,
Inslaw, Inc. PROMIS was a database management system that offered powerful
applications for law enforce-ment. According to various government officials
and Inslaw President Bill Hamilton, after the Justice Department stole the
software, it modified the pro-gram into a kind of electronic Trojan horse
and sold PROMIS to foreign intelligence agencies and banks. That "neat idea"
was supposed to give the CIA secret backdoor access into the top secret files
of foreign govern-ments and financial institutions. Though a couple of federal
judges subsequently found evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Justice,
in March 1993 a retired federal judge tapped by the Bush administration to
reassess the evidence found no signs of wrong-doing.

OK, that almost brings us up to date. As Wired reports, last October
House Resolution 4862 looked likely to pass. That bill would have overturned
the March 1993 finding and bound the Federal Claims court to re-investigate
the Inslaw case. Though Bill Clinton backed HR
4862, a week before the vote Attorney General Janet Reno
"deluged both Congress and the press with a report. . . in which she stated
that there was no scandal, and no need for an independent counsel or further
investigation," according to Wired. Wouldn't you know it? The
House resolution subse-quently was squashed by a partisan committee vote,
and Democrats who supported the bill were left fuming at Reno.

Any chance of the Republican-led congress reopen-ing the matter? Well,
that fact that Reno, a Clinton official, doused the matter would seem to
bode well for a resuscitation of the Inslaw case. However, the fact that
the key suspects in the scandal are veteran Reagan-Bush
officials will probably ensure that Inslaw-gate remains
a political hot potato for now.

 

The Military's Pandora's Box

By Dr. Nick Begich and

Jeane Manning.

Earthpulse Press

(907) 249-9111

 

This article was pre-pared 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
"StarWars" 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 phy-sician
in Finland; a scientist in Holland; an antinuclear pro-tester 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
IN-TRUSION 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 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 app-aratus 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
Re-search 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 ap-proaching 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
"StarWars" 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 misinformation.

 

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 Ex-tremely 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
work-ing.

• 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 geo-physical probing to find oil, gas
and mineral deposits over a large area.

• Be used to detect
in-coming 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 sub-sidiary
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

 

(This is a drawing from the Eastlund patent

# 5,038,664)

 

Atmosphere, Ionosphere; and/or Magnetosphere," was sealed for a year under
a government Secrecy Order. (Additional HAARP related Patents- #5,038,664
and

#4,712,155)

The Eastlund ionos-pheric 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 des-cribed 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 tech-nology be worth to ARCO, the owner of the patents?
They could make enormous profits by beam-ing electrical power from a powerhouse
in the gas fields to the consumer without wires.

For a time, HAARP re-searchers 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 vary-ing frequencies,
and to control changes in those waves, makes it possible to knock out
commun-ications 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 commun-ications
network even though the rest of the world's communi-cations are disrupted.
Put another way, what is used to disrupt another's communi-cations 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 unex-pected and unplanned drag forces
with resultant des-truction."

"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 com-position 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 artific-ially 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, electro-magnetic
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 geo-graphical areas.

The most telling mater-ial about this technology came from writings of
Zbigniew Brzezinski (former National Security Advisory to U.S.

 

(President Carter

and

J.F. MacDonald)

"science advisors to U.S."

 

President Johnson and a professor of Geophysics at UCLA), as they
wrote about use of power-beaming transmitters for geophysical and environ-mental
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 fre-quency ranges where these effects could occur -- the
same ranges which HAARP is capable of broadcasting.

The following state-ment 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. Mac-Donald, a specialist in problems
of warfare, says accurately-timed, artificially excited elec-tronic 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 manip-ulate behavior for national advantages, to some, the tech-nology
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 Environ-mental Quality.
He published papers on the use of environ-mental 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 geo-physicists predicted today's advances, are HAARP
program managers delivering on the vision?

The geophysicists recog-nized that adding energy to the environmental
soup could have large effects. However, human-kind has already added substantial
amounts of electro-magnetic energy into our environment without under-standing
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 his 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 ex-pected 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
anti-personnel 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
radi-ation may prove of some value is in enhancing abilities of individuals
for anomalous phe-nomena."

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 Con-gressional 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, mine-rals 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 effect 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 guration that comprises these multilayers
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-freq-uency, or ELF) pulses the Earth grid uses to distribute
infor-mation as vibrations to synch-ronize 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 re-searcher 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 elec-tric shells of the
multilayer membrane of ionosperes 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 con-fusing signals, if not tearing holes in the threads. "

"Effects of this inter-ference 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 research-ers 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 atmos-phere 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 precip- itation 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 Univer-sity 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.

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 know-ledge 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, rain making
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 Storm fury.

And they looked at some complicated technologies that would give big effects.
Angels Don't Play This HARP 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 Argues, decades ago. The money
for that came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DRAPE,
now under the acronym ARPA.) In 1994 the Air Force revealed its Spacecast
2020 master plan which includes weather
control.

Scientists here 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 pro-hibited." 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 resident's Council on Environ-mental Quality.

He published papers on the use of environmental-control technologies
for military pur-poses. 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 Mac-Donald 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 Environ-ment," 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 UN-DETECTABLE
BY THEIR VICTIMS. Is HAARP that weapon? The
military's intention to do environmental engineering is well documented,
U.S. Congress' subcommittee hear-ings on Oceans and Inter-national 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 ionos-

phere 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 atmos-phere below is subsequently disturbed."

Another scientist inter-viewed said there is a super-powerful electrical
connection between the ionosphere and the part of the atmosphere where our
weather comes on-stage, the lower atmosphere.

One man-made elec-trical effect--power line har-monic 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 docu-ments admit that thousand
fold-greater amounts of energy can be released in the ionosphere than injected.
As with MacDonald's "key to geophysical warfare," "non-linear" 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 ionos-pheric heaters such as the one at
Arecibo are underneath rela-tively 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 ion-ization..." 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 dective use in underground nuclear tests.
It was recently reported that the US government spent $3 trillion dollars
on its nuclear program since its beginning in the 1940's.

What new break through in life science could have been made with all the
money spent on death?

 

Begich, Manning, Roderick and others believe that democracies (republics)
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 re-search 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. Be-coming informed
is the first step to empowerment.

 

 

 

(NOTE, possible scenarios - more food for thought)

 

It is believed this project is responsible for the crazy weather conditions
we have had all over the world, hurricanes, floods, drought, tornadoes, and
lightening that has been starting the fires in California, Oregon, Montana,
Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.

This can only happen after HAARP has created a drought, making it possible
for the dry lightening created by HAARP, igniting the dry tender to fuel
the fires.

If you will contact the Militia of Montana: At (406)-847-2246 they have
U.N. weather control documents that explains how it works along with a copy
of the Patent.

Haarp was a black project until the people in Alaska put up a fight about
it. Then they came out with what they call a fact sheet, this is what they
want the people to believe.
