<B><FONT SIZE="+2">T</FONT></B>echnonet is the protest form of the
1990s-picketing on the information highways. For example, a
fast-growing assortment of men and women around the world are using
the Internet (started by the US military for information transfer and
exchange that would never be interfered with) to draw attention to a
questionable military project in Alaska. Now these Internetting,
e-mailing, faxing folks are blowing holes in the US Department of
Defense secrecy wall by using the government's own system.<BR>

The printed-word part of the protest started when Dennis Specht, an
anti-nuclear activist then living in Alaska, sent a news item to
NEXUS on the topic of HAARP-the High-frequency Active Auroral
Research Program. Then, an Alaskan political activist and science
researcher in Anchorage, Nick Begich, networked with Patrick and Gael
Crystal Flanagan, who are self-described "technomonks" living in
Sedona, Arizona, and was told to check out that same Australian-based
magazine. Begich was surprised to see an item from his home town in
NEXUS and immediately headed to the local library to dig out the
documents cited in the article.</P>

<P>That research led to articles and the book, <I>Angels Don't Play
this HAARP: Advances in Tesla Technology</I>, which is 230 pages of
detailed information on this intrusive project. This article will
only give highlights. Despite the amount of research (350 footnotes),
at its heart it is a story about ordinary people who took on an
extraordinary challenge.</P>

<P><B>HAARP BOILS THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE<BR>

</B>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 about 40 to
600 miles above Earth's surface.)</P>

<P>Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio
telescope: antennas send out signals instead of receiving. HAARP is
the test run for a super-powerful radio wave 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 US
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.</P>

<P>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; Troms&oslash;, 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:</P>

<P><I>"...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
'run away' until the next limiting factor is reached."</I></P>

<P>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
defence 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.</P>

<P>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.</P>

<P>The military says the HAARP system could:</P>

<UL>
   &nbsp;
   
   <LI>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);
   
   <LI>replace the huge Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) submarine
   communication system operating in Michigan and Wisconsin with a
   new and more compact technology;
   
   <LI>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;
   
   <LI>provide a way to wipe out communications over an extremely
   large area, while keeping the military's own communications
   systems working;
   
   <LI>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;
   
   <LI>be a tool for geophysical probing to find oil, gas and mineral
   deposits over a large area;
   
   <LI>be used to detect incoming low-level planes and cruise
   missiles, making other technologies obsolete.
</UL>

<P>The above abilities seem like a good idea to all who believe in
sound national defence 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 US 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.</P>

<P>Two Alaskans put it bluntly. A founder of the <I>NO HAARP</I>
movement, Clare Zickuhr, says: "The military is going to give the
ionosphere a big kick and see what happens."</P>

<P>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". It is an experiment on 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.</P>

<P><B>HAARP HISTORY<BR>

</B>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.</P>

<P>E-Systems is one of the biggest intelligence contractors in the
world, doing work for the CIA, defence intelligence organisations and
others. US$1.8 billion of their annual sales are to these
organisations, with $800 million for black projects-projects so
secret that even the United States Congress isn't told how the money
is being spent.</P>

<P>E-Systems was bought out by Raytheon which is one of the largest
defence contractors in the world. In 1994 Raytheon was listed as
number 42 on the "<I>Fortune</I> 500" list of companies. Raytheon has
thousands of patents, some of which will be valuable in the HAARP
project. Twelve patents are the backbone of the HAARP project, and
are now buried among the thousands of others held in the name of
Raytheon.</P>

<P>Bernard J. Eastlund's US 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.</P>

<P>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 centimetre, compared to others only able to
deliver about one millionth of one watt.</P>

<P>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 1900s
formed the basis of the research.</P>

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

<P>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.</P>

<P>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:</P>

<P><I>"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...</I></P>

<P><I>"...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</I> <I>disrupt another's communications can be employed by one
knowledgeable of this invention as a communication network at the
same time.</I></P>

<P><I>"...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...</I></P>

<P><I>"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..."</I></P>

<P>Begich found 11 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.</P>

<P>Related research by Begich and Manning uncovered bizarre schemes.
For example, US Air Force documents revealed that a system had been
developed for manipulating and disrupting 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 Adviser to US President Carter) and J. F. MacDonald (science
adviser to US 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 health and
thinking.</P>

<P>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.</P>

<P>The following statement was made more than 25 years ago in a book
which Brzezinski wrote while a professor at Columbia University:</P>

<P><I>"Political strategists are tempted to exploit research on the
brain and human behaviour. Geophysicist Gordon J. F.
MacDonald-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 behaviour for national advantages, to some the technology
permitting such use will very probably develop within the next few
decades."</I></P>

<P>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:</P>

<P><I>"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."</I></P>

<P>While yesterday's geophysicists predicted today's advances, are
HAARP program managers delivering on the vision? The geophysicists
recognised 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?</P>

<P>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. <I>Angels Don't
Play This HAARP</I> further quotes Brzezinski:</P>

<P><I>"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 behaviour and
keeping society under close surveillance and control. Technical and
scientific momentum would then feed on the situation it
exploits,"</I> Brzezinski predicted.</P>

<P>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 'stepping
stones' Brzezinski expected were persisting social crises and use of
the mass media to gain the public's confidence.</P>

<P>In another document prepared by the government, the US Air Force
claims:</P>

<P><I>"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."</I></P>

<P>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.)</P>

<P>The United States congressional record deals with the use of HAARP
for penetrating the Earth with signals bounced off the ionosphere.
These signals are used to look inside the planet to a depth of many
kilometres in order to locate underground munitions, minerals and
tunnels. For 1996 the US Senate has set aside US$15 million to
develop this ability alone: Earth-penetrating tomography. The problem
is that the frequency needed for Earth-penetrating radiations 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.</P>

<P>As if electromagnetic pulses in the sky and mental disruption were
not enough, 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. <I>Angels
Don't Play This HAARP</I> explains a principle behind some of Nikola
Tesla's inventions-resonance-which affects planetary systems.</P>

<P><B>BUBBLE OF ELECTRIC PARTICLES<BR>

</B><I>Angels Don't Play This HAARP</I> 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.</P>

<P>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.</P>

<P><B>SLICING THE IONOSPHERE<BR>

</B>Physicist Daniel Winter, Ph.D., of Waynesville, North Carolina,
says HAARP high-frequency emissions can couple with long wave (low
frequency or ELF) pulses the Earth grid uses to distribute
information as vibrations to synchronise 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 (extremely low frequency) can cause
unplanned, unsuspected side-effects.</P>

<P>David Yarrow of Albany, New York, is a researcher with a
background in electronics. He described possible interactions of
HAARP radiations with the ionosphere and Earth's magnetic grid:</P>

<P><I>"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 'iono-spheres' 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.</I></P>

<P><B>CRUDELY PLUCKING THE STRINGS<BR>

</B><I>"Second concept: As Earth rotates, HAARP will slice across
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.</I></P>

<P><I>"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 manmade microwave finger poking at the web, sending
out confusing signals, if not tearing holes in the threads.</I></P>

<P><I>"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."</I></P>

<P>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,"<I>
</I>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.</P>

<P><B>FEVERISH EARTH<BR>

</B><I>"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."</I></P>

<P>In a second analogy, Schaefer says:</P>

<P><I>"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'."</I></P>

<P>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.</P>

<P><B>ELECTRONIC RAIN FROM THE SKY<BR>

</B>The military has published papers about electron precipitation
from the magnetosphere (the outer belts of charged particles which
stream toward Earth's magnetic poles) caused by manmade
very-low-frequency electromagnetic waves:</P>

<P><I>"These precipitated particles can produce secondary ionisation,
emit X-rays, and cause significant perturbation in the lower
ionosphere."</I></P>

<P>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 the
Earth's atmosphere. By turning the signal on or off, they could stop
the flow of energetic particles.</P>

<P><B>WEATHER CONTROL<BR>

</B>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.</P>

<P>The Begich/Manning book asks whether that knowledge will be used
by war-oriented or biosphere-oriented scientists.</P>

<P>The military has had about 20 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 US Department of Defense sampled lightning and hurricane
manipulation studies in <I>Project Skyfire </I>and <I>Project
Stormfury. </I>And they looked at some complicated technologies that
would give big effects. <I>Angels Don't Play This HAARP</I> 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 <I>Prime Argus</I>, decades ago. The money for that
came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, now
under the acronym ARPA).</P>

<P>In 1994 the US Air Force revealed its <I>Spacecast 2020</I> master
plan which includes weather control. Scientists have experimented
with weather control since the 1940s, but <I>Spacecast 2020</I> noted
that "using environmental modification techniques to destroy, damage
or injure another state [is] prohibited". Having said that, the Air
Force claimed that advances in technology "compels a re-examination
of this sensitive and potentially risky topic".</P>

<P><B>FORTY YEARS OF ZAPPING THE SKY?<BR>

</B>As far back as 1958, the chief White House adviser on weather
modification, Captain Howard T. Orville, said the US defence
department was studying "ways to manipulate the charges of the Earth
and sky and so affect the weather by using an electronic beam to
ionise or de-ionise the atmosphere over a given area.</P>

<P>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:</P>

<P><I>"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."</I></P>

<P>World-recognised 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 <I>Unless Peace
Comes</I>, he was not kidding around. In it he describes the use of
weather manipulation, climate modification, polar ice-cap melting or
destabilisation, ozone depletion techniques, earthquake engineering,
ocean wave control and brainwave 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.</P>

<P>US Congress's subcommittee hearings on Oceans and International
Environment looked into military weather and climate modification
conducted in the early 1970s. "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 <I>Angels Don't Play This HAARP</I>.</P>

<P>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.</P>

<P><B>SMALL INPUT, BIG EFFECT<BR>

</B>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:</P>

<P><I>"If the ionosphere is greatly disturbed, the atmosphere below
is subsequently disturbed."</I></P>

<P>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.
</P>

<P>One manmade 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).</P>

<P>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.</P>

<P>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.</P>

<P>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.</P>

<P>HAARP experimenters do not impress common-sense 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."</P>

<P><B>COULD THEY SHORT-CIRCUIT THE EARTH?<BR>

</B>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 <I>Science
</I>deals with manmade ionisation from radioactive material, but
perhaps it could also be studied with HAARP-type skybusters in mind:
</P>

<P><I>"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
ionisation..."</I></P>

<P>Meteorology, of course, is the study of the atmosphere and
weather. Ionisation 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.</P>

<P><I>Angels Don't Play This HAARP: Advances in Tesla Technology</I>
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 US$3 trillion on its
nuclear program since its beginnings in the 1940s. What new
breakthroughs in life science could have been made with all the money
spent on death?</P>

<P>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.</P>

<P>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.</P>

<P>The book, <I>Angels Don't Play This HAARP: Advances in Tesla
Technology</I>, is available for USD$14.95 plus postage and handling
(USD$1.50; USD$4.00 international) from Earthpulse Press, c/o Dr Nick
Begich, PO Box 201393, Anchorage, Alaska 99520, USA. It can also be
