    Technonet 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. 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.

    That research led to articles and the book, Angels Don't Play
    this HAARP: Advances in Tesla Technology, 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.

    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 about 40 to 600 miles above Earth's
    surface.)

    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.

    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; Tromsx, 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 'run away' 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 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.

    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 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.

    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". 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.

    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, 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.

    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 "Fortune 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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 25 years ago in a book
    which Brzezinski wrote while a professor at Columbia University:

    "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."

    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 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?

    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 behaviour 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 'stepping stones' 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 US 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 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.

    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. Angels Don't Play This HAARP
    explains a principle behind some of Nikola Tesla's
    inventions-resonance-which affects 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 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.

    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:

    "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.

    CRUDELY PLUCKING THE STRINGS "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.

    "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.

    "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 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:

    "These precipitated particles can produce secondary ionisation,
    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 the
    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 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 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 US Air Force revealed its Spacecast 2020 master plan
    which includes weather control. Scientists have experimented with
    weather control since the 1940s, but Spacecast 2020 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".

    FORTY YEARS OF ZAPPING THE SKY? 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.

    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-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 Unless
    Peace Comes, 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.

    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 Angels 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 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).

    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 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."

    COULD THEY SHORT-CIRCUIT THE 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 ionisation 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 ionisation..."

    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.

    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 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?

    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.

    The book, Angels Don't Play This HAARP: Advances in Tesla
    Technology, 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 ordered by Visa/MasterCard by phoning +1 (907) 249 9111.
