HAARP: US Has Climate-Change Weapon [Did It Cause Katrina?]

posted Thursday, 15 September 2005
HAARP: UN-banned weapon system can trigger hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis

The UN has banned it. It’s reported to be in the arsenal of several nations, including the U.S. It’s reported to be OPERATIONAL. What are we going to do about this weapon system? And did it play a role in creating Hurricane Katrina or in steering her along her murderous path?

"The US Air Force has the capability of manipulating climate either for testing purposes or for outright military-intelligence use. These capabilities extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes." (excerpt from "Article 4" below)

For almost two weeks, many have fumed, finger-pointed, and theorized about the purportedly "incompetent" or "slow" or "bungled" or "virtually nonexistent" government response to Hurricane Katrina. Sure, the response was all of that and much worse.

But a few are now daring to ask : did elements within the U.S. or other governments have a role in creating, "enhancing," or steering Katrina toward her Gulf Coast target, using advanced military technology?

If so, was Katrina at least in part an act of mass murder and treason, perhaps by rogue elements within the Pentagon or its private contractors--or was it, possibly, a stealthy act of war against the U.S.?

As you read, think about last winter’s tsunami, which destabilized a highly strategic region for hydrocarbon production and, especially, hydrocarbon shipping.

Think about the 2001 FEMA report that identified the THREE "likeliest, most catastrophic disasters facing this country":

A terror attack on New York, a major hurricane’s direct hit on New Orleans, and a major earthquake in Northern California. Is it two down, one to go? Bella Ciao

WHAT THE HELL IS HAARP

Washington's New World Order Weapons Have the Ability to Trigger Climate Change [Article first published January 4th 2002]

The important debate on global warming under UN auspices provides but a partial picture of climate change; in addition to the devastating impacts of greenhouse gas emissions on the ozone layer, the World's climate can now be modified as part of a new generation of sophisticated "non-lethal weapons."

Both the Americans and the Russians have developed capabilities to manipulate the World's climate.

In the US, the technology is being perfected under the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) as part of the ("Star Wars") Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI).

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.

While there is no evidence that this deadly technology has been used, surely the United Nations should be addressing the issue of "environmental warfare" alongside the debate on the climatic impacts of greenhouse gases...

Despite a vast body of scientific knowledge, the issue of deliberate climatic manipulations for military use has never been explicitly part of the UN agenda on climate change.

Neither the official delegations nor the environmental action groups participating in the Hague Conference on Climate Change (CO6) (November 2000) have raised the broad issue of "weather warfare" or "environmental modification techniques (ENMOD)" as relevant to an understanding of climate change.

The clash between official negotiators, environmentalists and American business lobbies has centered on Washington's outright refusal to abide by commitments on carbon dioxide reduction targets under the 1997 Kyoto protocol.

The impacts of military technologies on the World's climate are not an object of discussion or concern. Narrowly confined to greenhouse gases, the ongoing debate on climate change serves Washington's strategic and defense objectives.

"WEATHER WARFARE"

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."

Already in the 1970s, former National Security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski had foreseen in his book "Between Two Ages" that:

"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... [T]echniques of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm."

Marc Filterman, a former French military officer, outlines several types of "unconventional weapons" using radio frequencies.

He refers to "weather war," indicating that the U.S. and the Soviet Union had already "mastered the know-how needed to unleash sudden climate changes (hurricanes, drought) in the early 1980s."

These technologies make it "possible to trigger atmospheric disturbances by using Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) radar [waves]."

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.

HIGH-FREQUENCY ACTIVE AURORAL RESEARCH PROGRAM (HAARP)

The High-Frequency Active Auroral 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."

Dr. Rosalie Bertell depicts HAARP as "a gigantic heater that can cause major disruption in the ionosphere, creating not just holes, but long incisions in the protective layer that keeps deadly radiation from bombarding the planet."

MISLEADING PUBLIC OPINION

HAARP has been presented to public opinion as a program of scientific and academic research. US military documents seem to suggest, however, that HAARP's main objective is to "exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes."

Without explicitly referring to the HAARP program, a US Air Force study points to the use of "induced ionospheric modifications" as a means of altering weather patterns as well as disrupting enemy communications and radar.9

According to Dr. Rosalie Bertell, HAARP is part of a integrated weapons' system, which has potentially devastating environmental consequences:

It is related to fifty years of intensive and increasingly destructive programs to understand and control the upper atmosphere. It would be rash not to associate HAARP with the space laboratory construction which is separately being planned by the United States. HAARP is an integral part of a long history of space research and development of a deliberate military nature.

The military implications of combining these projects is alarming. ... The ability of the HAARP / Spacelab/ rocket combination to deliver very large amount of energy, comparable to a nuclear bomb, anywhere on earth via laser and particle beams, are frightening.

The project is likely to be "sold" to the public as a space shield against incoming weapons, or, for the more gullible, a device for repairing the ozone layer.

In addition to weather manipulation, HAARP has a number of related uses:

"HAARP could contribute to climate change by intensively bombarding the atmosphere with high-frequency rays... Returning low-frequency waves at high intensity could also affect people's brains, and effects on tectonic movements cannot be ruled out.

More generally, HAARP has the ability of modifying the World's electro-magnetic field. It is part of an arsenal of "electronic weapons" which US military researchers consider a "gentler and kinder warfare".

WEAPONS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER

HAARP is part of the weapons arsenal of the New World Order under the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).

From military command points in the US, entire national economies could potentially be destabilized through climatic manipulations.

More importantly, the latter can be implemented without the knowledge of the enemy, at minimal cost and without engaging military personnel and equipment as in a conventional war.

The use of HAARP -- if it were to be applied -- could have potentially devastating impacts on the World's climate. Responding to US economic and strategic interests, it could be used to selectively modify climate in different parts of the World resulting in the destabilization of agricultural and ecological systems.

It is also worth noting that the US Department of Defense has allocated substantial resources to the development of intelligence and monitoring systems on weather changes.

NASA and the Department of Defense's National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) are working on "imagery for studies of flooding, erosion, land-slide hazards, earthquakes, ecological zones, weather forecasts, and climate change" with data relayed from satellites.

POLICY INERTIA OF THE UNITED NATIONS

According to the Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) signed at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro:

"States have... in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of international law, the (...) responsibility to ensure that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause damage to the environment of other States or of areas beyond the limits of national jurisdiction."

It is also worth recalling that an international Convention ratified by the UN General Assembly in 1997 bans "military or other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects."

Both the US and the Soviet Union were signatories to the Convention. The Convention defines "'environmental modification techniques' as referring to any technique for changing--through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes--the dynamics, composition or structure of the earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere or of outer space."

Why then did the UN --disregarding the 1977 ENMOD Convention as well as its own charter-- decide to exclude from its agenda climatic changes resulting from military programs?

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ACKNOWLEDGES IMPACTS OF HAARP

In 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. 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."

The Committee's request to draw up a "Green Paper" on "the environmental impacts of military activities", however, was casually dismissed on the grounds that the European Commission lacks the required jurisdiction to delve into "the links between environment and defense". Brussels was anxious to avoid a showdown with Washington.

FULLY OPERATIONAL

While there is no concrete evidence of HAARP having been used, scientific findings suggest that it is at present fully operational.

What this means is that HAARP could potentially be applied by the US military to selectively modify the climate of an "unfriendly nation" or "rogue state" with a view to destabilizing its national economy.

Agricultural systems in both developed and developing countries are already in crisis as a result of New World Order policies including market deregulation, commodity dumping, etc.

Amply documented, IMF and World Bank "economic medicine" imposed on the Third World and the countries of the former Soviet block has largely contributed to the destabilization of domestic agriculture.

In turn, the provisions of the World Trade Organization (WTO) have supported the interests of a handful of Western agri-biotech conglomerates in their quest to impose genetically modified (GMO) seeds on farmers throughout the World.

It is important to understand the linkage between the economic, strategic and military processes of the New World Order.

In the above context, climatic manipulations under the HAARP program (whether accidental or deliberate) would inevitably exacerbate these changes by weakening national economies, destroying infrastructure and potentially triggering the bankruptcy of farmers over vast areas.

Surely national governments and the United Nations should address the possible consequences of HAARP and other "non-lethal weapons" on climate change.

SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW BUSH? BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THIS.

I CANNOT REVEAL WHERE I GOT THIS INFORMATION UNLESS I’D WILLING TO RISK ASSASSINATION—AND I’M NOT RISKING IT BECAUSE I PROMISED TO TAKE MY WIFE TO A MOVIE TONIGHT.

MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW IT BUT GEORGE BUSH IS AN EXPERT JET PILOT. HIS CHOICE OF PLANES IS A RUSSIAN MIG FIGHTER THAT HE GOT IN A DEAL FROM THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT, IN A SECRET TRADE PACT WITH BEIJING WHICH ALLOWS THE CHINESE TO DOUBLE THEIR IMPORT PRICES FOR STUFF SHIPPED TO AMERICA’S BLUE STATES. BUSH PREFERS THIS AIRCRAFT BECAUSE IT WILL GO FASTER SINCE IS DOESN’T HAVE ALL THAT ANTI-POLLUTION STUFF ON IT-- AND ALSO BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD EXPECT THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT TO BE FLYING A VERY COMMON CHINESE MIG OUT OVER THE AMERICAN SOUTH AND THE CARIBBEAN, WHICH WAS HIS MOST RECENT TRIP.

ALSO, TO BE CERTAIN, IF SOME BODY HAD HIGH-POWER BINOCULARS, THE INSIGNIA OF THE PLANE IS *^*#+*$&*v…- WHICH ALL THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN PEOPLE KNOW IS CHINESE FOR: “GEORGE BUSH IS NOT PILOTING THIS MIG.”

MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW IT BUT BUSH IS A NUCLEAR PHYSICIST AND AN ELECTRONIC ENGINEER. A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE BIG HURRICANE HIT THE GULF-- BUSH ASSEMBLED A WATER-PROOF NUCLEAR DEVICE AND SEVERAL MISCELLANEOUS WATER-PROOF, ELECTRONIC, HURRICANE POTENCY GIZMOS IN THE BATHTUB OF HIS MASTER BATHROOM AT HIS TEXAS RANCH. THIS ALWAYS UPSETS LAURA SINCE HE LEAVES ALL THAT “GLOWING STICKY STUFF”-RING IN THE TUB.

AS ALWAYS, IT WAS A BIT SHAKY AS HE TOOK OFF FROM HIS SECRET AIRFIELD IN CRAWFORD SINCE THE MIG IS A STRAIGHT-SHIFT AND BUSH LEARNED TO FLY IN AN AUTOMATIC.

ON HIS WAY, BUSH CHECKED 0FF HIS DEVICES: “ONE NUCLEAR HURRICANE MAKER-INVIGORATOR THINGY;” “ONE GALLON, SUPER CONCENTRATED FAIL-PROOF, BLUE-STATE SEEKER, WITH CONDITIONER TO PREVENT FRAYED EDGES ON HURRICANE SPIRALS;” “ ONE MILLION ‘JEB FOR PRESIDENT’ STICKERS.” “10-GAZILLION, SPECIAL, TV-PURCHASED POTENCY PILLS.” THEN HE PLACED THIS STUFF IN AN ELECTRONIC BOX AND PROGRAMMED THE WORD K-A-T-R-I-N-A—WHICH IS COMANCHE FOR “NEW ENGLAND”-- A HOTBED OF BLUE STATES (MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW IT BUT BUSH IS FLUENT IN 46 AMERICAN INDIAN LANGUAGES AND 124 DIALECTS.)

THEN HE QUICKLY FOUND A GOOD SIZED, TROPICAL STORM-- SLOWED THE MIG TO 500-MILES PER HOUR, SLID BACK THE COCKPIT CANOPY AND DROPPED THE WHOLE THINGY, DUCT-TAPPED TO A HELIUM BALLOON INTO THE EYE OF THE STORM .

AS HE TURNED TOWARD THE MAINLAND, HE NOTICED THROUGH HIS REAR-VIEW MIRROR AN F-16 FIGHTER ON HIS TAIL WITH A “CNN” INSIGNIA ON THE SIDE. HE QUICKLY DROPPED HIS LEFT WING AND DOVE STRAIGHT TO THE OPEN OCEAN BELOW WITH THE F-16 ON HIS TAIL. HE DESCENDED 36,000 FEET IN 9 SECONDS – THEN PULLED UP ONLY 11-INCHES FROM THE OCEAN. THE CNN FIGHTER DIDN’T HAVE A CHANCE AND SPLASHED.

HIS FUEL WAS NOW LOW DUE TO HIS EVASIVE ACTION WITH THE F-16 CAMERA-FIGHTER CRAFT, SO HE HAD TO GO BY JEB’S FARM NEAR TALLAHASSEE TO FILLED UP WITH HIS BROTHER’S MIG FUEL STASH.

IT WAS 3 DAYS LATER WHILE WATCHING FOX NEWS AT CRAWFORD THAT HE REALIZED HIS NEW CREATION WAS ENTERING THE GULF OF MEXICO--- NO WHERE NEAR NEW ENGLAND.

THEN HE GOT HIS SECRET CODE BOOK, WHICH WAS WEDGED BEHIND HIS COMMODE, OPENED IT AND DISCOVERED THAT HE HAD USED THE WRONG DIRECTIONAL CODE NAME: “KATRINA” WAS NOT A COMANCHE WORD AT ALL --IT WAS A CHOCTAW TERM FOR “GULF COAST.”

SO THIS IS THE REAL REASON THAT BUSH WENT ON HIS “30-DAY VACATION.”

IF ANY READER THINKS THESE COMMENTS ARE NOT TRUE, OR OVERSTATED—THEN YOU JUST DON’T KNOW GEORGE AS WELL AS I DO—MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW IT BUT HE AND I ARE MEMBERS OF THE SAME POLITICAL PARTY. YOU CAN’T GET MUCH CLOSER THAN THAT.

This is the dumbest thing I've read in years. If there were even the slightest, most miniscule amount of critical thought about this then it would be absolutely clear that it is baseless fantasy. One hint: how much energy would have to be generated to be effective. Take it to your highschool physics teacher if you can't figure it out yourself.

In April 1997, the then U.S. Secretary of Defense William Cohen publicly discussed the dangers of HAARP-like technology, saying "thers are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves... So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations... It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our efforts."

This quote derives from an April 1997 counterterrorism conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn, quoted from "DoD News Briefing, Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen, Q&A at the Conference on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and U.S. Strategy," held at the University of Georgia-Athens, Apr. 28, 1997.

And I actually live in the center of the sun, and just fly through the vacuum of space to visit earth on occasion. I don't care who said this. Creating earthquakes and volcanoes using electromagnetic waves? That is beyond the pale of ignorance. How in the name of Einstein would that work? Is there some kind of microwave oven that bakes volcanoes? Or maybe an earthquake transmitter which is tuned to frequencies ranging from vibrate slightly to tremor.

Malaysia to Battle Smog With Cyclones (1997)

Malaysia's war on smog is about to get a new twist. The government wants to create man-made cyclones to scrub away the haze that has plagued Malaysia since July. 'We will use special technology to create an artificial cyclone to clean the air', said Datuk Law Hieng Ding, minister for science, technology and the environment. The plan calls for the use of new Russian technology to create cyclones -- the giant storms also known as typhoons and hurricanes -- to cause torrential rains, washing the smoke out of the air. The Malaysian cabinet and the finance minister have approved the plan, Datuk Law said. A Malaysian company, BioCure Sdn. Bhd., will sign a memorandum of understanding soon with a government-owned Russian party to produce the cyclone. "Datuk Law declined to disclose the size of the cyclone to be generated, or the mechanism. 'The details I don't have', he said. He did say, though, that the cyclone generated would be 'quite strong'. Datuk Law also declined to disclose the price of creating the cyclone.

Weather Wars

Modern Battles Will Be Won By Controlling The Weather

It is 2025. An enemy unknown to 20th-century Americans has massed its army at the border of a friendly country in a remote part of the world. High above them flies a single, unmanned stealth aircraft. A faint wisp of black dust sprays from its tail, spurring the creation of the only weapon capable of stopping the threatening horde.

The weapon the dust engenders is mud--old-fashioned, sink-up-to-your-knees, spin-your-tires mud. There's nothing unusual about this slippery mixture of soil and water. It's the same sloppy goo that forced the Roman legions to build Britain's first real roads. What is different, in this futuristic scenario, is the way it's delivered. Like a meal at a fancy Japanese restaurant, it is being created on the spot and to order. The "chef" is an isolated downpour that swirls only above the heads of the aggressors.

In much the same way that infrared and low-light viewing equipment has made it possible for 20th-century soldiers to own the night, U.S. Air Force planners hope to give 21st-century warriors advanced technologies that will enable them to own the weather. A declassified version of a 2-year study prepared by the Air War College and obtained by PM reveals that this is no dreamland scenario. The Pentagon's top meteorologists believe the United States will be ready to fight--and win--a weather war early in the next century.

The study, titled "Weather As A Force Multiplier: Owning The Weather In 2025," envisions future generals having at their disposal an impressive weather-control arsenal for tactical operations. These weapons would include unmanned stealth aircraft that could seed clouds above massing troops with fine particles of heat-absorbing carbon. This next-generation cloud-seeding technique would, in turn, produce localized flooding and create mud, which has been the bane of all of history's armies. Airborne lasers would cause lightning to discharge over the airframes of attack and surveillance aircraft. Other lasers would fire at fog banks, clearing a temporary flight path to high-value targets, such as command posts. In addition, still more powerful microwave transmitters would heat the ionosphere, altering its reflective properties in ways that would disrupt communications among enemy field commanders.

To reach this future battlefield, the military is planning to piggyback on weather-prediction and weather-modification technologies being developed by the private sector. They estimate that by 2015 supercomputer and atmosphere-monitoring technologies will have advanced to the point where military planners will know exactly what sort of weather to expect over an operations area throughout the course of a campaign lasting several weeks.

The great leap forward, however, is expected to occur between 2015 and 2025, spurred on largely by a growing global population that will put increasing pressure on the worldwide food and drinkable water supplies. "These pressures prompt governments and/or other organizations who are able to capitalize on the technological advances of the previous 20 years to pursue a highly accurate and reasonably precise weather-modification capability," the report states.

"Our vision is that by 2025 the military could influence the weather on a mesoscale or microscale to achieve operational capabilities."

The report makes the limitations of the military's current weather-predicting abilities disturbingly clear: "During Operation Desert Storm, Gen. Buster C. Glosson asked his weather officer to tell him which targets would be clear in 48 hours for inclusion in the air tasking order (ATO). But current forecasting capability is only 85% accurate for no more than 24 hours, which doesn't adequately meet the needs of the ATO planning cycle. Over 50% of the F-117 sorties weather aborted over their targets and A-10s only flew 75 of 200 scheduled close air support missions due to low cloud cover during the first two days of the campaign."

If weather modification can actually turn the tide of battle remains an open question. The American military's only acknowledged recent experience in using weather as a weapon occurred with Project Popeye, which began in 1966. The experiment's objective was to extend the monsoon season, thereby increasing the amount of mud that formed on the Ho Chi Minh trail, a supply route that wound from what was then North Vietnam through Laos and Cambodia into South Vietnam. To produce the rain, a silver iodide rainmaking agent--dubbed "Olive Oil"--was dispersed from WC-130, F4 and A-1E aircraft into the clouds over the trail.

Positive results during the initial program led to its continued operation until 1972. But to this day, analysts remain divided over whether the rain created enough extra mud to significantly reduce the delivery of supplies. When you're slogging through ankle-deep mud, another inch of it probably doesn't make that much of a difference.

Manipulating the Weather

A war of winds and lightning in the future? Researchers say it would be an asset no military power could afford to be without. (AP Photo)

By Michele Norris ABCNEWS.com Feb. 17— In one scene from the movie Patton, the general demands of his military chaplain “I want a prayer … a weather prayer. Let’s see if we can’t get God working with us on this thing.” We now live in an age of such advanced technology, that rather than just praying for the weather, it may one day be possible to control it.       Consider what might happen on some battlefield of the future where the U.S. military could gain a tactical advantage by changing the weather. There are several ways they might try to do that. One way would be to create rain that turns battlefields into mudbaths in order to immobilize enemy troops and enemies. Another is by triggering lightning storms over airfields to keep hostile aircraft on the ground. Yet another possibility would be to burn through a heavy fog by firing lasers to give U.S. fighter pilots a better view of enemy targets. An Air Force research paper called “Owning the Weather in 2025” predicts that weather modification could reshape battlefields. 

Agreement Bars Weather Manipulation But there is a problem with turning theory into fact. Using weather as a weapon is a clear violation of international agreements. In 1977, the United Nations passed and the U.S. signed, a resolution that prohibits changing the weather for hostile purposes on the grounds that too many civilians could be harmed. So the U.S. military, which once seeded clouds in Vietnam to produce heavy rains along the Ho Chi Minh trail, can now only concentrate on better weather forecasting. “We want to anticipate and exploit the weather, not modify it.” says U.S. Air Force Director of Weather Brig. Gen. Fred Lewis.       But that does not mean the research has stopped. In the U.S. and in many other countries, the private sector continues to work on weather modification technology — work that could also be used on the battlefield. And as this research continues on, for example, cloud seeding techniques that produce heavy rain to help farmers in time of drought or laser technology that could clear heavy fog for passenger jets, the military is watching. Armies have never been able to conquer Mother Nature. But if new technology were to make that possible, researchers say it’s a weapon no military power could afford to be without.

Reprise: ... learn your quadratic equations... Not very impressive. Let's see, here we have a set of paragraphs without a single scientific principle listed on which to base the claims they present. I am actually scientificly literate; don't be afraid to give me some real foundation. Don't hold back; differential equations - no problem: Maxwell, Heaviside, all that EM stuff. Don't worry, I do understand it. Otherwise, this is just fairytales and fantasies played for the gullible. I think that broader and more accessible education should be a greater concern than this malarky.

Well… if you’re so scientifically literate, why don’t you display your quadratic prowess and disprove any of these claims and concepts, rather than continually engaging in a reflexive recoiling from the shock of it all and arrogantly blathering on and on about how improbable it all is and how much more educated you are then anyone else ?

“Let's see, here we have a set of paragraphs without a single scientific principle listed on which to base the claims they present…”

Perhaps a bit more research on your part will uncover these principles. Telsa technology is an extremely involved topic, so don’t expect people to provide all the answers and research for you. Again, I don’t see you providing any scientific principles either. Rather, you are engaging in a behaviour that is typical of most Americans : bury their head in the sand and easily dismiss and ridicule information that is seemingly too disturbing to comprehend, rather than keeping an open mind and taking the extra time to do a bit of work to uncover the what the possibilities really are.

I’m sure you’ve heard of Nikola Tesla ?

http://www.pbs.org/tesla/index.html

He should be a starting point for people wishing to understand this stuff. In 1935, Tesla claimed he triggered an earthquake from his lab in NYC, experimenting with oscillators:

Excerpt from the New York World - Telegram, July 11, 1935 -- Nikola Tesla revealed that an earthquake which drew police and ambulances to the region of his laboratory at 48 E. Houston St., New York, in 1898, was the result of a little machine he was experimenting with at the time which "you could put in your overcoat pocket."

The bewildered newspapermen pounced upon this as at least one thing they could understand and "the father of modern electricity" told what had happened as follows:

"I was experimenting with vibrations. I had one of my machines going and I wanted to see if I could get it in tune with the vibration of the building. I put it up notch after notch. There was a peculiar cracking sound.

"I asked my assistants where did the sound come from. They did not know. I put the machine up a few more notches. There was a louder cracking sound. I knew I was approaching the vibration of the steel building. I pushed the machine a little higher. "Suddenly all the heavy machinery in the place was flying around. I grabbed a hammer and broke the machine. The building would have been about our ears in another few minutes. Outside in the street there was pandemonium.

"The police and ambulances arrived. I told my assistants to say nothing. We told the police it must have been an earthquake. That's all they ever knew about it."

Some shrewd reporter asked Dr. Tesla at this point what he would need to destroy the Empire State Building and the doctor replied: "Vibration will do anything. It would only be necessary to step up the vibrations of the machine to fit the natural vibration of the building and the building would come crashing down. That's why soldiers break step crossing a bridge."

Finally, we should just assume that the UN, the DoD, ABC News, The Wall Street Journal, Popular Mechanics, Nikola Tesla, Secretary of Defense William Cohen, Zbigniew Brzezinski and other available sources on this topic are all part of a massive disinformation campaign to terrify people into believing weather modification technologies exist, when in fact they do not.

2 of 3 Former CIA Directors Oppose Too Many Restrictions of Covert Acts (1978)

Three former directors of the Central Intelligence Agency testified in a cavernous, nearly empty Senate hearing room yesterday about legislation to reform the nation’s intelligence community. Only one thought it ought to include a ban on assassinations.

The other two, George (HW) Bush, who headed the CIA in 1976 and E. Henry Knoche, who served as acting director for several months under President Carter, told the Senate Intelligence Committee that they feared too many restrictions on covert CIA operations.

The bill, introduced by most committee members in February after nearly three years of investigations and staff studies, would punish plots and attempts to assassinate foreign officials with life imprisonment and would prohibit a number of highly controversial activities. The ban would extend to covert operations such as those likely to result in “torture,” the “creation of epidemics or diseases,” and “creation of food or water shortages or floods.”

My apologies. Yes, I do have a tendency to be aggressive in speaking, detrimentally so sometimes. I certainly should not belittle anyone for taking an interest in science and technologies. My last statement about a broader and accessible education was actually not an insult; I believe that everybody should have access to good educational opportunities - this makes all the difference to individual prospects and to society as a whole. I am proud of my own education, as I worked very hard for it, and still don't consider it to have ended; again, my apologies for coming across arrogantly; it was not warrented. Actually, the fact that you have taken an interest in this subject is a good opportunity to further your own understanding of the intricacies of the underlying principles. This was actually Tesla's great strength. Heaviside was another character who would be of interest, a sort of self-taught polymath (one of my favourite quotes by him: when mathematicians complained that his theories were not 'rigorous' enough he replied: "I don't need to know how the digestive tract works in order to enjoy a good meal".) There is also another point which should be noted with respect to scientific and technological investigation, that being the issue of funding. Very often marginal and even dubious projects are hyped in order to keep the funding flowing, especially if it garners the interest of some group with deep pockets. This is my suspicion about the HAARP discussions; I get the sense that it is a project which has more to do with access to money. It's like bait to lure in the sponsors. This is what I should have said first off.

Have a look at this. According to this article from msnbc, it was possible (with 1969 technology) to affect the intensity and direction of a hurricane by up to 30%.


The federal government’s hurricane modification program was called Project Stormfury. The idea was raised during the Eisenhower administration after several major storms hit the East Coast in the mid-1950s, killing 749 people and causing billions in damages.

But it wasn’t until 1961 that initial tests were conducted on Hurricane Esther with a Navy plane releasing silver iodide crystals. Some reports indicate winds were reduced by 10 percent to 30 percent.

During Stormfury, scientists also seeded hurricanes in 1963, 1969 and 1971 over the open Atlantic Ocean far from land.

Researchers dropped silver iodide, a substance that serves as an effective ice nuclei, into clouds just outside of the hurricane’s eyewall. The idea was that a new ring of clouds would form around the artificial ice nuclei. The new clouds were supposed to change rain patterns and form a new eyewall that would collapse the old one. The re-formed hurricane would spin more slowly and be less dangerous.

Did it work? Sometimes, the experiments appeared to work. Hurricane Debbie in 1969 was seeded twice over four days by several aircraft. Researchers noted that its intensity waxed and waned by up to 30 percent.

For cloud seeding to be successful, clouds must contain sufficient supercooled water that is still liquid even though it is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (zero degrees Celsius). Raindrops form when the artificial nuclei and the supercooled water combine.

But scientists also learned that hurricanes contain less supercooled water than other storm clouds, so seeding was unreliable. And, hurricanes grow and dissipate all on their own, even forming new walls of clouds called “concentric eyewall circles.”

This made it impossible to determine whether storm reductions were the result of human intervention. Project Stormfury was abandoned in the 1980s after spending hundreds of millions of dollars.

Other storm modification methods that have been suggested include cooling the tropical ocean with icebergs and spreading particles or films over the ocean surface to inhibit storms from evaporating heat from the sea.

The nuclear option Occasionally, somebody suggests detonating a nuclear weapon to shatter a storm.

Researchers say hurricanes would dwarf such measures. For example, Hurricane Rita measures about 3,500 miles (5,600 kilometers) in irregular circumference and 350 miles (560 kilometers) across.

According to the center for atmospheric research, the heat energy released by a hurricane equals 50 to 200 trillion watts or about the same amount of energy released by exploding a 10-megaton nuclear bomb every 20 minutes.

Thank you for making the thoroughly concise point that these naysayers NEVER offer a counter that is founded by factual evidence to support refutation. It is the same passion-driven steaming that particular modern-day radio personalities use as a prepubescent-level defense in response to FACT-DRIVEN news..."what a looney psycho..."

Keep the effort charging...the modern war, after all, is a MENTAL war...

@ il Progetto H.A.A.R.P abbia come scopo il cambiamento del polo magnetico e dell'asse di rotazione terrestre ...

e di conseguenza lo scioglimento degli immensi ghiacciai dell'Antardide...

Non-Violent Autonomous Spontaneous Committees: now!

The incredible dealys in the production of Schietti’s Engine to produce energy for free and in the distribution of Schietti’s Serpentine to produce drinkable water for free, the unbelievable attacks against Domenico Schietti, the promoter of 2010: Poverty Elimination, the smartest and least harmful person of the world, a leader of non violence, tolerance, justice, surely a pillar of human history are, according to us, evidence that there’s something wrong.

We’ve tried and considered all the possibilities to face the problem and sort it out. We’ve found some but we don’t exclude others.

1) Mankind is being carried by an external agent, another living genre, a species that is our enemy and that manages to control the neuralgic points of power, science and communications. It may be seen both as kind of VISITORS who look like humans without actually being so and like a mental being able to control many people’s minds and governing them, confusing them and making them become enemies to one another.

2) An elite of people afraid of losing their privileged position, who have access to all the main economic resources and who have organised the chimerical NOVUS ORDO SAECULORUM on a global scale in order to repress the mass thru ignorance and use them at their taste.

3) The use of toxic or harmful objects or substances (TVs, mobile phones, drugs…), some wrong habits (excessive sex, wrong nutrition, a little physical activity...), the lack of rivals in the fight for survival, factual and ideological schools far from reality... have all reduced the physical and intellectual skills of human beings who are not fit for ecosystem any longer and who cannot decide for themselves any more. 6 billions of FUNCTIONAL ILLITERATE PEOPLE carried by ideologies.

4) Overpopulation and the lack of vital space have triggered a dog-eat-dog fight which is taking us to self-destruction. The so called "SYNDROME OF EASTER ISLAND", which is known in case of disgrace like, for instance, the panic which causes people to push against and kill one another in order to find a way out.

5) Human beings overrate themselves and, in fact, apart from some a few people who, maybe because of different genes, have better skills, most of individuals are less smart than any SILLY MONKEY or living species. Mankind is thus a scarcely clever species which has been given the luck to have prehensile hands which have given them the chance to develop themselves by making tools. Unfortunately, they have not lot their other predominant features such us violence, the first effect of stupidity.

6) Some SECTS with an evolutionist-ideological-scientific nature, enemies of mankind (scientist- engineers, biotechnological Neonazis, transhumanists…) have much more power that it might naively appear. Competition, hatred and revenge against God, nature and ourselves.

7) Experiments unknown to us have led to the certainty that human being is devoted to violence and destruction. Therefore some groups (Humans? GAIA? A coalition of humans and other living species?) are trying to hinder development to avoid the destruction of the universe, trying to control and limit the phenomenon to the Planet Earth

8)Human beings, like ducklings, suffer from IMPRINTING and they easily fall prey of trends, fanaticisms, collective hallucinations and misbelieves of any kind. Globalisation has triggered a kind of global imprinting which is affecting everyone everywhere and has taking us off road towards self-destruction.

We think that in any case we need to sign a cease-fire in all conflicts and to make mankind fight against the common enemy, whatever it may be.

If this is not possible any longer since we have lost control over our species, some basic resistance groups should be formed. Non-Violent Autonomous Spontaneous Committees, from every centralised structure, with their own basic libraries with all the main knowledge (keeping in mind that much of the knowledge has been cooked by the enemies of mankind and, therefore, it needs testing again).
