Are you crazy to worry about HAARP?

I'm going out on a limb here to talk about a "research" program sponsored by the US government and the DoD - HAARP (High frequency Active Aural Research Program). There are literally thousands of sites dedicated to HAARP, but the program is alarming - especially within the context of long-term military plans. When HAARP is mentioned (or chem-trails, or mind control) "conspiracy theories" immediately spring to mind. I believe that most folks (if they have heard of these at all) think of them as springing fullblown from the minds of nuts. Most do not realize that these are actual military projects sponsored under the auspices of DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). The fact that DARPA is in charge puts a whole framework around the research - mainly that these are defense projects and that military applications are the primary (if not sole) focus.

Examining DARPA programs is like walking onto the set of some bad sci-fi movie. The projects are frightening and "out there" by most anyone's estimation. Therefore, finding accurate information about the actual capabilities and current activities of any project is ... difficult. Current activities in particular are almost always speculation or extrapolation as these projects are SECRET. That means that attempts to link DARPA programs to real world events is often circuitous at best. Sometimes it is evidence by absence. For example, certain charts are regularly available to the public (atmospheric, geophysic, electro-magnetic, etc.), but for the time surrounding a major "event" (such as the blackout on the east coast of the US in August 2003) the charts for that time period "disappear." Those who monitor such things take these "coincidences" as evidence of project activity (August 14th Blackout Discussion at CRG)

The claims for HAARP are incredible but seemingly true. The basic aim of HAARP is as a weapons technology that serves as what the DoD calls a "force multiplier." Among the the things that HAARP does are:
spot weather control, underground and under water detection, generation of massive pin-point heat, and generation and pin-point launching of electro-magnetic weaponry. HAARP works across various frequencies from very high range to very low range. While containing "high frequency" in the title of the project, HAARP is also intricately involved with "ELF" (extremely low frequency) applications -- such as the new sonor being used by the Navy that is killing whales and dolphins. (See Reports section below)

Certainly one of the proclaimed aspects of HAARP is weather manipulation as a weapon. According to Chapter 9.2 Weather Analysis and Modification System of AF 2025, the capabilities of HAARP and other linked technologies in this regard are:"Understanding and predicting local weather effects on military operations; Precipitation inducement or suppression using particulate seeding or directed energy, Fog generation/dissipation using directed energy techniques, Storm triggering/enhancement using airborne cloud seeding, High-power microwave (HPM) devices (ground-based) and ionospheric mirrors for communications and radar enhancement/disruption, Ionospheric charging for spacecraft disruption using crossed HPM beams."

Therefore it is not surprising that one finds reports such as:
Washington's New World Order Weapons Have the Ability to Trigger Climate Change (Chossudovsky, CRG, 01/2001) which discusses the climate changing capabilities of HAARP. Or, HAARP Detection and Imaging of Underground Structures Using ELF/VLF Radio Waves (Global Security). The PRAVDA article HAARP Poses Global Threat argues:

"It is an open secret that the USA (probably, not the USA alone) has already constructed high-frequency transmitter facilities. Those devices can heat the earth environment up to the state of plasma by means of pumping ions. This makes it possible to control the environment, which might show considerable influence on the atmospheric phenomena. The owners of this weapon are able to program floods, twisters and storms, even earthquakes in any region of the planet. It is also possible to paralyze civil and military electric surveillance systems, and even to affect the mentality of whole nations.

There is a suspicion that the unusual natural disasters and man-caused catastrophes of the year 2002, the unexplainable indifference of several nations on the post-Soviet territory might be linked to USA’s tests of geophysical weapons of low capacities. However, neither American politicians and scientists, nor the world community know, if it is going to be possible to stop the work of the geophysical weapon, if it is used at its full capacity. This is the major problem. It is quite possible that the first full capacity use of the geophysical weapon might end up in a global catastrophe. Does it seem to be science fiction? Not really, as a matter of fact. High frequency transmitter facilities already exist. They are located in Norway and at an army base in Alaska. The short description of the program and some photographs can be found on the official site Haarp.alaska.edu. Another high power transmitter facility, a more powerful one, is going to be put into operation in Greenland soon. When this happens, the geophysical weapon will be capable of covering Eurasia from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast."

It is difficult to grasp the output power of HAARP and related technologies. These systems are not simply passive systems - they are highly active attack devices. The ionspheric program can literally generate enough heat to boil portions of the ionosphere. According to the UN Conference report (excerpt at end of this article), an SMES - Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage) is a spin-off program. It is capable of generating 30,00 - 40,000 Gaus as a weapon (Earth's magnetic field is about .5 Gaus. HAARP can generate ELF and VLF waves well below the Earth's surface in a directed manner. Therefore, the speculation of HAARP being used to cause earthquakes. HAARP energies can and are designed to generate targeted EMP (electro-magnetic pulses) to knock qout power and communication capabilities. THerefore speculations about the east coast outage, as well as the ones that struck Britain and France.

Given the power and scope of this project, it is no surprise that folks are concerned about the consequences. There are global environmental risks that are not spurious (in my opinion). Even testing weapons of this force and magnitude could have (any may have already had) dramatic effects. One thing that prompted me to investigate this more was an accumulation of "weird" events such as the amazement of scienists at the escalating progress of global warming and the string of power outages in August of 2003.

There are currently three known HAARP type facilites. They are in Alaska, Norway, and Russia (yes the Russians have one). A new site is being negotiated for in Greenland. If that negotiation is successful, then the Arctic will be ringed by highly destructive military weapons capable of terrifying damage. So much for concerns about weapons of mass destruction. How about weapons of global destruction?

We live in a time when figuring out the real from the unreal, the natural from the unnatural becomes exceptionally difficult. Do I KNOW that HAARP is the trigger accelerating melting of the poles and global warming? No. Do I know that testing of EMP was behind the east coast grid failure? No. Do I know that the massive earthquake in Iran that may have 40,000 plus dead was caused by targetted ELV/VLF? No. Do I think that these things are possible? Yes. Why I think they are possible is that these are the intended uses of these weapons.

In my opinion, governments are playing with fire that may burn us all.

AF 2025 Report

Militarising Space: Quantum Leaping Backwards, Felicity Hill, International League for Peace and Freedom, UN Ishikawa-Kanazawa Conference (2000)

(Page 7-9 of the report) In a U.S. Air Force research study, "Weather as a Force Multiplier" issued in August, 1996, seven U.S. military officers outlined how HAARP and aerial cloud-seeding from tankers could allow U.S. aerospace forces to "own the weather" by the year 2025. Among the desired objectives were "Storm Enhancement," "Storm Modification" and "Induce Drought." According to the Air Force report, "In the United States, weather-modification will likely become a part of national security policy with both domestic and international applications." Within 30 years, the Air Force foresees using Weather Force Support Elements with "the necessary sensor and communication capabilities to observe, detect, and act on weather-modification requirements to support U.S. military objectives" by "using airborne cloud generation and seeding" techniques being developed at the time, the 1996 Air Force report says.

Another relevant project in this scheme is HAARP which stands for "High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program." It's a joint project of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory and the Naval Research Laboratory. HAARP is a series of antennas aimed up at the farthest reaches of the ionosphere high above a frozen wasteland in Alaska. The HAARP complex sends and receives radio waves through the skies and studies how atmospheric changes caused by the transmissions distort and delay how the signals pass through space. The studies might allow military planners to design new communication systems in future space vehicles. Advanced systems might be able to alter the ionosphere in a controlled way to establish new communications capabilities while interfering with other satellites. One of the prime goals of the project is the manipulation of the electrojet. If the electrojet touches down on Earth, it can blow out a major power grid, thus depriving a large region of electricity. When HAARP is completed, it will be able to warm specific areas of the ionosphere until they produce a curve-shaped lens capable of redirecting significant amounts of electromagnetic energy. These reflected electromagnetic beams may be in microwave or ultraviolet range and could be used as a weapon either to incinerate a forest or oil reserve or to selectively kill living things.

The HAARP project is linked to other research and military facilities, so it, like the missile defence plans, cannot be considered in isolation. One such facility is the network of SuperDARN radars, the stated purpose of which is to form a "network of high latitude high frequency radars which will contribute to the goal of US Arctic Research Initiatives. These goals outlined in the SuperDARN grant proposal are to 'improve the predictability of disturbances in space and their effects on high altitude communications, electric power grids, satellite orbital
stability and defence systems.'

Another piece in the ionsopheric puzzle is to be the SMES - Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage) facility being built near Anchorage Alaska. It is a ground-based energy-storage facility for directed-energy weapons. It is expected to have a magnetic field of 30,000 - 40,000 Gaus (the Earth's magnetic field is about 0.5 Gaus).

While some of these projects have direct military applications, others are more likely legitimate research projects. However, they are characterised by a rashness, an uncontrolled curiosity and a willingness to experiment with our life support system - to see what it does and how it will work. The risk of potentially irreversible costs to humans and to the biosphere cannot be ruled out.

According to the UN Conference report, the corporations involved in developing and building this project are: Lockheed Martin (Lynne Cheney was on their board), Boeing, Raytheon, TRW (Dick Cheney was on their board)
