WHAT IS HAARP?
The High-Frequency Active Aural Research Program (HAARP)
based in Gokoma Alaska --jointly managed by the US Air Force and the US Navy-- is part of a new generation of sophisticated
weaponry under the US Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Operated by the Air Force Research Laboratory's Space Vehicles Directorate,
HAARP constitutes a system of powerful antennas capable of creating "controlled local modifications of the ionosphere".
Scientist
Dr. Nicholas Begich --actively involved in the public campaign against HAARP-- describes HAARP as: "A super-powerful
radiowave-beaming technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere [upper layer of the atmosphere] by focusing a beam and heating
those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything -- living and dead."
Recent
scientific evidence suggests that HAARP is fully operational and has the ability of potentially triggering floods, droughts,
hurricanes and earthquakes. From a military standpoint, HAARP is a weapon of mass destruction. Potentially, it constitutes
an instrument of conquest capable of selectively destabilising agricultural and ecological systems of entire regions.
World
renowned scientist Dr. Rosalie Bertell confirms that "US military scientists are working on weather systems as a potential
weapon. The methods include the enhancing of storms and the diverting of vapor rivers in the Earth's atmosphere to produce
targeted droughts or floods."
A simulation study of future defense "scenarios"
commissioned for the US Air Force calls for:
"US aerospace forces to 'own
the weather' by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war-fighting applications.
From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small-scale tailoring of natural weather patterns
to complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control, weather-modification offers the war fighter a wide-range
of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary... In the United States, weather-modification will likely become a part
of national security policy with both domestic and international applications. Our government will pursue such a policy, depending
on its interests, at various levels.
n February 1998, responding to a report of Mrs. Maj
Britt Theorin --Swedish MEP and longtime peace advocate--, the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security
and Defense Policy held public hearings in Brussels on the HAARP program.17
The
Committee's "Motion for Resolution" submitted to the European Parliament:
"Considers HAARP
by virtue of its far-reaching impact on the environment to be a global concern and calls for its legal, ecological and ethical
implications to be examined by an international independent body...; [the Committee] regrets the repeated refusal of the United
States Administration... to give evidence to the public hearing into the environmental and public risks [of] the HAARP program."
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.
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."
"Technology will make available, to the leaders of major nations, techniques for conducting
secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of the security forces need be appraised... Techniques of weather modification
could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm. "
