HAARP

The Military's Pandora's Box

by Dr. Nick Begich and Jeane Manning

This article was prepared to provide a summary of the contents of a book written
in 1995 which describes an entirely new class of weapons. The weapons and their
effects are described in the following pages. The United States Navy and Air
Force have joined with the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, to build a prototype
for a ground based "Star Wars" weapon system located in the remote bush
country of Alaska.

The individuals who are demanding answers about HAARP are scattered around
the planet. As well as bush dwellers in Alaska, they include: a physician in
Finland; a scientist in Holland; an anti-nuclear protester in Australia; independent
physicists in the United States; a grandmother in Canada, and countless others.

Unlike the protests of the 1960s the objections to HAARP have been registered
using the tools of the 1990s. From the Internet, fax machines, syndicated talk
radio and a number of alternative print mediums the word is getting out and
people are waking up to this new intrusion by an over zealous United States
government.

The research team put together to gather the materials which eventually found
their way into the book never held a formal meeting, never formed a formal
organization. Each person acted like a node on a planetary info-spirit-net with one
goal held by all -- to keep this controversial new science in the public eye. The
result of the team's effort was a book which describes the science and the
political ramifications of this technology.

That book, Angels Don't Play this HAARP: Advances in Tesla Technology, has
230 pages. This article will only give the highlights. Despite the amount of
research (350 footnoted sources), at its heart it is a story about ordinary people
who took on an extraordinary challenge in bringing their research forward.

HAARP Boils the Upper Atmosphere

HAARP will zap the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable
electromagnetic beam. It is an advanced model of an "ionospheric heater." (The
ionosphere is the electrically-charged sphere surrounding Earth's upper
atmosphere. It ranges between 40 to 60 miles above the surface of the Earth.)
Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio telescope; antenna
send out signals instead of receiving. HAARP is the test run for a super-powerful
radiowave-beaming technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere by focusing a
beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto
earth and penetrate everything -- living and dead.

HAARP publicity gives the impression that the High-frequency Active Auroral
Research Program is mainly an academic project with the goal of changing the
ionosphere to improve communications for our own good. However, other U.S.
military documents put it more clearly -- HAARP aims to learn how to "exploit the
ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes." Communicating with
submarines is only one of those purposes.

Press releases and other information from the military on HAARP continually
downplay what it could do. Publicity documents insist that the HAARP project is
no different than other ionospheric heaters operating safely throughout the world
in places such as Arecibo, Puerto Rico, Tromso, Norway, and the former Soviet
Union. However, a 1990 government document indicates that the radio-frequency
(RF) power zap will drive the ionosphere to unnatural activities.

" ... at the highest HF powers available in the West, the instabilities commonly
studied are approaching their maximum RF energy dissipative capability, beyond
which the plasma processes will 'runaway' until the next limiting factor is
reached."

If the military, in cooperation with the University of Alaska Fairbanks, can show
that this new ground-based "Star Wars" technology is sound, they both win. The
military has a relatively-inexpensive defense shield and the University can brag
about the most dramatic geophysical manipulation since atmospheric explosions
of nuclear bombs. After successful testing, they would have the military
megaprojects of the future and huge markets for Alaska's North Slope natural
gas.

Looking at the other patents which built on the work of a Texas' physicist named
Bernard Eastlund, it becomes clearer how the military intends to use the HAARP
transmitter. It also makes governmental denials less believable. The military
knows how it intends to use this technology, and has made it clear in their
documents. The military has deliberately misled the public, through sophisticated
word games, deceit and outright disinformation.

The military says the HAARP system could:

 Give the military a tool to replace the electromagnetic pulse effect of

atmospheric thermonuclear devices (still considered a viable option by the
military through at least 1986)
  Replace the huge Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) submarine
communication system operating in Michigan and Wisconsin with a new
and more compact technology
 Be used to replace the over-the-horizon radar system that was once
planned for the current location of HAARP, with a more flexible and
accurate system
 Provide a way to wipe out communications over an extremely large area,
while keeping the military's own communications systems working
 Provide a wide area earth-penetrating tomography which, if combined with
the computing abilities of EMASS and Cray computers, would make it
possible to verify many parts of nuclear nonproliferation and peace
agreements
 Be a tool for geophysical probing to find oil, gas and mineral deposits over
a large area
 Be used to detect incoming low-level planes and cruise missiles, making
other technologies obsolete

The above abilities seem like a good idea to all who believe in sound national
defense, and to those concerned about cost-cutting. However, the possible uses
which the HAARP records do not explain, and which can only be found in Air
Force, Army, Navy and other federal agency records, are alarming. Moreover,
effects from the reckless use of these power levels in our natural shield -- the
ionosphere -- could be cataclysmic according to some scientists.

Two Alaskans put it bluntly. A founder of the NO HAARP movement, Clare

Zickuhr, says "The military is going to give the ionosphere a big kick and see
what happens."
The military failed to tell the public that they do not know what exactly will
happen, but a Penn State science article brags about that uncertainty. Macho
science? The HAARP project uses the largest energy levels yet played with by
what Begich and Manning call "the big boys with their new toys." HAARP is an
experiment in the sky, and experiments are done to find out something not
already known. Independent scientists told Begich and Manning that a HAARP-
type "skybuster" with its unforeseen effects could be an act of global vandalism.

HAARP History

The patents described below were the package of ideas which were originally
controlled by ARCO Power Technologies Incorporated (APTI), a subsidiary of
Atlantic Richfield Company, one of the biggest oil companies in the world. APTI
was the contractor that built the HAARP facility. ARCO sold this subsidiary, the
patents and the second phase construction contract to E-Systems in June 1994.

E-Systems is one of the biggest intelligence contractors in the world -- doing

work for the CIA, defense intelligence organizations and others. $1.8 billion of
their annual sales are to these organizations, with $800 million for black projects -
- projects so secret that even the United States Congress isn't told how the
money is being spent.
E-Systems was bought out by Raytheon, which is one of the largest defense
contractors in the world. In 1994 Raytheon was listed as number forty-two on the
Fortune 500 list of companies. Raytheon has thousands of patents, some of
which will be valuable in the HAARP project. The twelve patents below are the
backbone of the HAARP project, and are now buried among the thousands of
others held in the name of Raytheon. Bernard J. Eastlund's U.S. Patent #
4,686,605, "Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth's
Atmosphere, Ionosphere; and/or Magnetosphere," was sealed for a year under a
government Secrecy Order.

The Eastlund ionospheric heater was different; the radio frequency (RF) radiation
was concentrated and focused to a point in the ionosphere. This difference
throws an unprecedented amount of energy into the ionosphere. The Eastlund
device would allow a concentration of one watt per cubic centimeter, compared to
others only able to deliver about one millionth of one watt.

This huge difference could lift and change the ionosphere in the ways necessary
to create futuristic effects described in the patent. According to the patent, the
work of Nikola Tesla in the early 1900's formed the basis of the research.

What would this technology be worth to ARCO, the owner of the patents? They
could make enormous profits by beaming electrical power from a powerhouse in
the gas fields to the consumer without wires.

For a time, HAARP researchers could not prove that this was one of the intended
uses for HAARP. In April, 1995, however, Begich found other patents, connected
with a "key personnel" list for APTI. Some of these new APTI patents were indeed
a wireless system for sending electrical power. Eastlund's patent said the
technology can confuse or completely disrupt airplanes' and missiles'
sophisticated guidance systems. Further, this ability to spray large areas of Earth
with electromagnetic waves of varying frequencies, and to control changes in
those waves, makes it possible to knock out communications on land or sea as
well as in the air.

The patent said:

"Thus, this invention provides the ability to put unprecedented amounts of power
in the Earth's atmosphere at strategic locations and to maintain the power
injection level particularly if random pulsing is employed, in a manner far more
precise and better controlled than heretofore accomplished by the prior art,
particularly by detonation of nuclear devices of various yields at various
altitudes... "
"...it is possible not only to interfere with third party communications but to take
advantage of one or more such beams to carry out a communications network
even though the rest of the world's communications are disrupted. Put another
way, what is used to disrupt another's communications can be employed by one
knowledgeable of this invention as a communication network at the same time."
"... large regions of the atmosphere could be lifted to an unexpectedly high
altitude so that missiles encounter unexpected and unplanned drag forces with
resultant destruction."
"Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper atmosphere
wind patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles
which will act as a lens or focusing device.

... molecular modifications of the atmosphere can take place so that positive
environmental effects can be achieved. Besides actually changing the molecular
composition of an atmospheric region, a particular molecule or molecules can be
chosen for increased presence. For example, ozone, nitrogen, etc.,
concentrations in the atmosphere could be artificially increased."

Begich found eleven other APTI Patents. They told how to make "Nuclear-sized
Explosions without Radiation," Power-beaming systems, over-the-horizon radar,
detection systems for missiles carrying nuclear warheads, electromagnetic
pulses previously produced by thermonuclear weapons and other Star-Wars
tricks. This cluster of patents underlay the HAARP weapon system.

Related research by Begich and Manning uncovered bizarre schemes. For

example, Air Force documents revealed that a system had been developed for
manipulating and disturbing human mental processes through pulsed radio-
frequency radiation (the stuff of HAARP) over large geographical areas. The most
telling material about this technology came from writings of Zbigniew Brzezinski
(former National Security Advisory to U.S. President Carter) and J.F. MacDonald
(science advisor to U.S. President Johnson and a professor of Geophysics at
UCLA), as they wrote about use of power-beaming transmitters for geophysical
and environmental warfare. The documents showed how these effects might be
caused, and the negative effects on human heath and thinking.

The mental-disruption possibilities for HAARP are the most disturbing. More than
40 pages of the book, with dozens of footnotes, chronicle the work of Harvard
professors, military planners and scientists as they plan and test this use of the
electromagnetic technology. For example, one of the papers describing this use
was from the International Red Cross in Geneva. It even gave the frequency
ranges where these effects could occur -- the same ranges which HAARP is
capable of broadcasting.

The following statement was made more than twenty-five years ago in a book by
Brzezinski which he wrote while a professor at Columbia University:
"Political strategists are tempted to exploit research on the brain and human
behavior. Geophysicist Gordon J.F. MacDonald, a specialist in problems of
warfare, says accurately-timed, artificially-excited electronic strokes could lead to
a pattern of oscillations that produce relatively high power levels over certain
regions of the earth ... in this way one could develop a system that would
seriously impair the brain performance of very large populations in selected
regions over an extended period"

" ... no matter how deeply disturbing the thought of using the environment to
manipulate behavior for national advantages, to some, the technology permitting
such use will very probably develop within the next few decades."

In 1966, MacDonald was a member of the President's Science Advisory

Committee and later a member of the President's Council on Environmental
Quality. He published papers on the use of environmental control technologies
for military purposes. The most profound comment he made as a geophysicist
was, "the key to geophysical warfare is the identification of environmental
instabilities to which the addition of a small amount of energy would release
vastly greater amounts of energy." While yesterday's geophysicists predicted
today's advances, are HAARP program managers delivering on the vision?

The geophysicists recognized that adding energy to the environmental soup

could have large effects. However, humankind has already added substantial
amounts of electromagnetic energy into our environment without understanding
what might constitute critical mass. The book by Begich and Manning raises
questions:

 Have these additions been without effect, or is there a cumulative amount

beyond which irreparable damage can be done?
 Is HAARP another step in a journey from which we cannot turn back?
 Are we about to embark on another energy experiment which unleashes
another set of demons from Pandora's box?

As early as 1970, Zbigniew Brzezinski predicted a "more controlled and directed

society" would gradually appear, linked to technology. This society would be
dominated by an elite group which impresses voters by allegedly superior
scientific know-how. Angels Don't Play This HAARP further quotes Brzezinski:

"Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not
hesitate to achieve its political ends by using the latest modern techniques for
influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and
control. Technical and scientific momentum would then feed on the situation it
exploits," Brzezinski predicted.

His forecasts proved accurate. Today, a number of new tools for the "elite" are
emerging, and the temptation to use them increases steadily. The policies to
permit the tools to be used are already in place. How could the United States be
changed, bit by bit, into the predicted highly-controlled technosociety? Among
the "steppingstones" Brzezinski expected were persisting social crises and use
of the mass media to gain the public's confidence.

In another document prepared by the government, the U.S. Air Force claims: "The
potential applications of artificial electromagnetic fields are wide-ranging and can
be used in many military or quasi-military situations... Some of these potential
uses include dealing with terrorist groups, crowd control, controlling breaches of
security at military installations, and antipersonnel techniques in tactical warfare.
In all of these cases the EM (electromagnetic) systems would be used to produce
mild to severe physiological disruption or perceptual distortion or disorientation.
In addition, the ability of individuals to function could be degraded to such a point
that they would be combat ineffective. Another advantage of electromagnetic
systems is that they can provide coverage over large areas with a single system.
They are silent and countermeasures to them may be difficult to develop... One
last area where electromagnetic radiation may prove of some value is in
enhancing abilities of individuals for anomalous phenomena."

Do these comments point to uses already somewhat developed? The author of

the government report refers to an earlier Air Force document about the uses of
radio frequency radiation in combat situations. (Here Begich and Manning note
that HAARP is the most versatile and the largest radio-frequency-radiation
transmitter in the world.)

The United States Congressional record deals with the use of HAARP for
penetrating the earth with signals bounced off of the ionosphere. These signals
are used to look inside the planet to a depth of many kilometers in order to locate
underground munitions, minerals and tunnels. The U.S. Senate set aside $15
million dollars in 1996 to develop this ability alone -- earth-penetrating-
tomography. The problem is that the frequency needed for earth-penetrating
radiation is within the frequency range most cited for disruption of human mental
functions. It may also have profound effects on migration patterns of fish and
wild animals which rely on an undisturbed energy field to find their routes.

As if electromagnetic pulses in the sky and mental disruption were not enough, T.
Eastlund bragged that the super-powerful ionospheric heater could control
weather.

Begich and Manning brought to light government documents indicating that the
military has weather-control technology. When HAARP is eventually built to its
full power level, it could create weather effects over entire hemispheres. If one
government experiments with the world's weather patterns, what is done in one
place will impact everyone else on the planet. Angels Don't Play This
HAARP explains a principle behind some of Nikola Tesla's inventions --
resonance -- which affect planetary systems.
Bubble of Electric Particles

Angels Don't Play This HAARP includes interviews with independent scientists
such as Elizabeth Rauscher. She has a Ph.D., a long and impressive career in
high-energy physics, and has been published in prestigious science journals and
books. Rauscher commented on HAARP. "You're pumping tremendous energy
into an extremely delicate molecular configuration that comprises these multi-
layers we call the ionosphere."
"The ionosphere is prone to catalytic reactions," she explained, "if a small part is
changed, a major change in the ionosphere can happen."

In describing the ionosphere as a delicately balanced system, Dr. Rauscher

shared her mental picture of it -- a soap-bubble-like sphere surrounding Earth's
atmosphere, with movements swirling over the surface of the bubble. If a big
enough hole is punched through it, she predicts, it could pop.

Slicing the Ionosphere

Physicist Daniel Winter, Ph.D., of Waynesville, North Carolina, says, "HAARP

high-frequency emissions can couple with longwave (extremely-low-frequency, or
ELF) pulses the Earth grid uses to distribute information as vibrations to
synchronize dances of life in the biosphere." Dan terms this geomagnetic action
'Earth's information bloodstream,' and says it is likely that coupling of HAARP HF
(high-frequency) with natural ELF can cause unplanned, unsuspected side
effects.

David Yarrow of Albany, New York, is a researcher with a background in

electronics. He described possible interactions of HAARP radiation with the
ionosphere and Earth's magnetic grid: "HAARP will not burn holes in the
ionosphere. That is a dangerous understatement of what HAARP's giant gigawatt
beam will do. Earth is spinning relative to thin electric shells of the multilayer
membrane of ion-o-speres that absorb and shield Earth's surface from intense
solar radiation, including charged particle storms in solar winds erupting from
the sun. Earth's axial spin means that HAARP -- in a burst lasting more than a few
minutes -- will slice through the ionosphere like a microwave knife. This produces
not a hole but a long tear -- an incision."

Crudely Plucking the Strings

Second concept: As Earth rotates, HAARP will slice across the geomagnetic flux,
a donut-shaped spool of magnetic strings -- like longitude meridians on maps.
HAARP may not 'cut' these strings in Gaia's magnetic mantle, but will pulse each
thread with harsh, out-of-harmony high frequencies. These noisy impulses will
vibrate geomagnetic flux lines, sending vibrations all through the geomagnetic
web. "

"The image comes to mind of a spider on its web. An insect lands, and the web's
vibrations alert the spider to possible prey. HAARP will be a man-made
microwave finger poking at the web, sending out confusing signals, if not tearing
holes in the threads. "
"Effects of this interference with symphonies of Gaia's geomagnetic harp are
unknown, and I suspect barely thought of. Even if thought of, the intent (of
HAARP) is to learn to exploit any effects, not to play in tune to global
symphonies. "

Among other researchers quoted is Paul Schaefer of Kansas City. His degree is in
electrical engineering and he spent four years building nuclear weapons. "But
most of the theories that we have been taught by scientists to believe in seem to
be falling apart," he says. He talks about imbalances already caused by the
industrial and atomic age, especially by radiation of large numbers of tiny, high-
velocity particles "like very small spinning tops" into our environment. The
unnatural level of motion of highly-energetic particles in the atmosphere and in
radiation belts surrounding Earth is the villain in the weather disruptions,
according to this model, which describes an Earth discharging its buildup of
heat, relieving stress and regaining a balanced condition through earthquakes
and volcanic action.

Feverish Earth

"One might compare the abnormal energetic state of the Earth and its
atmosphere to a car battery which has become overcharged with the normal flow
of energy jammed up, resulting in hot spots, electrical arcing, physical cracks
and general turbulence as the pent-up energy tries to find some place to go."

In a second analogy, Schaefer says "Unless we desire the death of our planet, we
must end the production of unstable particles which are generating the earth's
fever. A first priority to prevent this disaster would be to shut down all nuclear
power plants and end the testing of atomic weapons, electronic warfare and 'Star
Wars'." Meanwhile, the military builds its biggest ionospheric heater yet, to
deliberately create more instabilities in a huge plasma layer -- the ionosphere --
and to rev up the energy level of charged particles.

Electronic Rain From The Sky

They have published papers about electron precipitation from the magnetosphere
(the outer belts of charged particles which stream toward Earth's magnetic poles)
caused by man-made very low frequency electromagnetic waves. "These
precipitated particles can produce secondary ionization, emit X-rays, and cause
significant perturbation in the lower ionosphere."

Two Stanford University radio scientists offer evidence of what technology can
do to affect the sky by making waves on earth; they showed that very low
frequency radio waves can vibrate the magnetosphere and cause high-energy
particles to cascade into Earth's atmosphere. By turning the signal on or off, they
could stop the flow of energetic particles.

Weather Control

Avalanches of energy dislodged by such radio waves could hit us hard. Their
work suggests that technicians could control global weather by sending relatively
small 'signals' into the Van Allen belts (radiation belts around Earth). Thus Tesla's
resonance effects can control enormous energies by tiny triggering signals.
The Begich/ Manning book asks whether that knowledge will be used by war-
oriented or biosphere-oriented scientists.

The military has had about twenty years to work on weather warfare methods,
which it euphemistically calls weather modification. For example, rainmaking
technology was taken for a few test rides in Vietnam. The U.S. Department of
Defense sampled lightning and hurricane manipulation studies in Project Skyfire
and Project Stormfury. And they looked at some complicated technologies that
would give big effects. Angels Don't Play This HAARP cites an expert who says
the military studied both lasers and chemicals which they figured could damage
the ozone layer over an enemy. Looking at ways to cause earthquakes, as well as
to detect them, was part of the project named Prime Argus, decades ago. The
money for that came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA, now under the acronym ARPA.) In 1994 the Air Force revealed its
Spacecast 2020 master plan which includes weather control. Scientists have
experimented with weather control since the 1940's, but Spacecast 2020 noted
that "using environmental modification techniques to destroy, damage or injure
another state are prohibited." Having said that, the Air Force claimed that
advances in technology "compels a reexamination of this sensitive and
potentially risky topic."

40 Years of Zapping the Sky?

As far back as 1958, the chief White House advisor on weather modification,
Captain Howard T. Orville, said the U.S. defense department was studying "ways
to manipulate the charges of the earth and sky and so affect the weather" by
using an electronic beam to ionize or de-ionize the atmosphere over a given area.
In 1966, Professor Gordon J. F. MacDonald was associate director of the Institute
of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California, Los Angeles,
was a member of the President's Science Advisory Committee, and later a
member of the President's Council on Environmental Quality.

He published papers on the use of environmental-control technologies for

military purposes. MacDonald made a revealing comment: "The key to
geophysical warfare is the identification of environmental instabilities to which
the addition of a small amount of energy would release vastly greater amounts of
energy. " World-recognized scientist MacDonald had a number of ideas for using
the environment as a weapon system and he contributed to what was, at the time,
the dream of a futurist. When he wrote his chapter, "How To Wreck The
Environment," for the book Unless Peace Comes, he was not kidding around. In it
he describes the use of weather manipulation, climate modification, polar ice cap
melting or destabilization, ozone depletion techniques, earthquake engineering,
ocean wave control and brain wave manipulation using the planet's energy fields.

He also said that these types of weapons would be developed and, when used,
would be virtually undetectable by their victims. Is HAARP that weapon? The
military's intention to do environmental engineering is well documented, U.S.
Congress' subcommittee hearings on Oceans and International Environment
looked into military weather and climate modification conducted in the early
1970's. "What emerged was an awesome picture of far-ranging research and
experimentation by the Department of Defense into ways environmental
tampering could be used as a weapon," said another author cited in Angles Don't
Play This HAARP.

The revealed secrets surprised legislators. Would an inquiry into the state of the
art of electromagnetic manipulation surprise lawmakers today? They may find out
that technologies developed out of the HAARP experiments in Alaska could
deliver on Gordon MacDonald's vision because leading-edge scientists are
describing global weather as not only air pressure and thermal systems, but also
as an electrical system.

Small Input - Big Effect

HAARP zaps the ionosphere where it is relatively unstable. A point to remember

is that the ionosphere is an active electrical shield protecting the planet from the
constant bombardment of high-energy particles from space. This conducting
plasma, along with Earth's magnetic field, traps the electrical plasma of space
and holds it back from going directly to the earth's surface, says Charles Yost of
Dynamic Systems, Leicester, North Carolina. "If the ionosphere is greatly
disturbed, the atmosphere below is subsequently disturbed."
Another scientist interviewed said there is a super-powerful electrical connection
between the ionosphere and the part of the atmosphere where our weather comes
onstage, the lower atmosphere.

One man-made electrical effect -- power line harmonic resonance -- causes fallout
of charged particles from the Van Allen (radiation) belts, and the falling ions
cause ice crystals (which precipitate rain clouds). What about HAARP? Energy
blasted upward from an ionospheric heater is not much compared to the total in
the ionosphere, but HAARP documents admit that thousandfold-greater amounts
of energy can be released in the ionosphere than injected. As with MacDonald's
"key to geophysical warfare," "nonlinear" effects (described in the literature
about the ionospheric heater) mean small input and large output. Astrophysicist
Adam Trombly told Manning that an acupuncture model is one way to look at the
possible effect of multi-gigawatt pulsing of the ionosphere. If HAARP hits certain
points, those parts of the ionosphere could react in surprising ways.

Smaller ionospheric heaters such as the one at Arecibo are underneath relatively
placid regions of the ionosphere, compared to the dynamic movements nearer
Earth's magnetic poles. That adds another uncertainty to HAARP -- the
unpredictable and lively upper atmosphere near the North Pole.

HAARP experimenters do not impress commonsense Alaskans such as Barbara

Zickuhr, who says "They're like boys playing with a sharp stick, finding a sleeping
bear and poking it in the butt to see what's going to happen."

Could They Short-Circuit Earth?

Earth as a spherical electrical system is a fairly well-accepted model. However,

those experimenters who want to make unnatural power connections between
parts of this system might not be thinking of possible consequences. Electrical
motors and generators can be caused to wobble when their circuits are affected.
Could human activities cause a significant change in a planet's electrical circuit
or electrical field? A paper in the respected journal Science deals with manmade
ionization from radioactive material, but perhaps it could also be studied with
HAARP-type skybusters in mind:

"For example, while changes in the earth's electric field resulting from a solar
flare modulating conductivity may have only a barely detectable effect on
meteorology, the situation may be different in regard to electric field changes
caused by manmade ionization... " Meteorology, of course, is the study of the
atmosphere and weather. ionization is what happens when a higher level of
power is zapped into atoms and knocks electrons off the atoms. The resulting
charged particles are the stuff of HAARP. "One look at the weather should tell us
that we are on the wrong path," says Paul Schaefer, commenting on HAARP-type
technologies.
Angels Don't Play This HAARP: Advances in Tesla Technology is about the
military's plan to manipulate that which belongs to the world -- the ionosphere.
The arrogance of the United States government in this is not without precedent.

Atmospheric nuclear tests had similar goals. More recently, China and France put
their people's money to destructive use in underground nuclear tests. It was
recently reported that the US government spent $3 trillion dollars on its nuclear
program since its beginnings in the 1940's. What new breakthroughs in life
science could have been made with all the money spent on death?

Begich, Manning, Roderick and others believe that democracies need to be

founded on openness, rather than the secrecy which surrounds so much military
science. Knowledge used in developing revolutionary weapons could be used for
healing and helping mankind. Because they are used in new weapons,
discoveries are classified and suppressed. When they do appear in the work of
other independent scientists, the new ideas are often frustrated or ridiculed, while
military research laboratories continue to build their new machines for the killing
fields.

However, the book by Manning and Begich gives hope that the military industrial
academic bureaucratic Goliath can be affected by the combined power of
determined individuals and the alternative press. Becoming informed is the first
step to empowerment.
