HAARP
Haarp is old technology but can still be used. ICECUBE Lab in the “South Pole” is much more powerful and in a few years will be 10 times bigger and exponentially much more powerful than it is now.

in 1993 the faa started warning pilots to stay away from a certain section of
airspace over alaska the u.s government was experimenting
with a new breed of high-altitude electronic technology
that was significantly altering the alaskan airspace
the experiments continue to this day and critics are warning that this project
could have global effects that will destroy our planet
Documentary
In alaska the rugged pristine wilderness is timeless most of it remaining just as it has for
thousands of years in the midst of all this natural beauty just outside the small town of gacona
stands an enormous and seemingly harmless antenna farm it is a 100 million dollar air force
project known as haarp and critics of the soon to be completed facility
charge it just may turn out to be the ultimate doomsday machine
it’s got all the marks of dr strangelove on it
harp is an acronym for high frequency active auroral research program
according to program manager john hesher harp is a research facility designed to
study the ionosphere all the military have communications surveillance navigation
systems whose paths either traverse the ionosphere or reflect from it
and so we need to be very careful about what we know about it and how we study it
what we’re interested in is what is the effect of a large input of energy on the
ionosphere the ionosphere is the outermost layer of the earth’s atmosphere
it is part of an electromagnetic field that keeps out harmful solar and cosmic
radiation one visible effect of the sun’s rays hitting the ionosphere
is the aurora borealis known as the northern lights
the ionosphere also plays a vital role in worldwide radio communication
the first transmission of radio waves across the ocean were quite a surprise
when it was first done people thought there’d be no chance to transmit signals
across the ocean by wireless and uh in fact what the atmosphere does is act like a mirror
and so you transmit a signal and it bounces off the ionosphere then bounces
off the earth when harp is fully operational it will transmit extremely powerful blasts of
high frequency radio waves directly up into the atmosphere superheating the electrons that make up
the ionosphere this will cause them to disperse effectively punching a hole
in the ionosphere but after you turn the instrument off this thing kind of moves around and it
gets replenished and within a few minutes it’s back to where you can’t even detect that
there’s a hole anymore the air force says that manipulating the ionosphere and studying the effect
will allow them to improve the efficiency of communications navigation and surveillance systems but
researchers outside the military see harp as a high-tech weapon with global implications
the way i see harp as it is right now it is a premier i mean top-notch high-energy
radio physics experiment and has definite military applications journalist mark
farmer lives in alaska and has written about the potential impact of harp
for both jane’s defense weekly and popular science magazine he believes that harp will be used to
take giant x-rays of earth earth penetrating tomography is a technique using extremely low frequency
radio waves today in geophysical probing scientists will use explosives or
a machine that thumps the ground to produce these waves but harp will stimulate the auroral
electrojet to make an antenna thousands of miles long that will emit these elf waves farmers
research indicates that the extremely low frequency waves would be capable of penetrating several
kilometers into the earth ferreting out nuclear storage facilities and other underground
military installations this is producing surveillance systems able to detect
stealthy cruise missiles and aircraft these are systems that will enable us to
communicate at higher data rates and at greater distances with our ballistic
missile submarines while the air force insists harp is not an offensive weapon
and is necessary for continuing national security alaska native nick begich
proposes a different scenario in this new book the things that we found in other air
force documents one in particular was a document put together in 82 the document was called low intensity
conflict in modern technology with a forward by no none other than newton gingrich
one section spoke about using radio frequency radiation transmitters for disrupting human
thinking for basically debilitating troops invisibly by being able to bombard them
with radio frequency that was tuned to just the right frequency injust the right wave form
so as to totally disrupt their mental process and basically debilitate those troops because of
harp’s potential to disrupt the earth’s magnetic field many observers are concerned that it
will damage the biomagnetic sensors that migratory animals like salmon and birds
depend upon anything that harp can do to the magnetic field is orders of magnitude smaller than the
natural variations of the earth’s field so i would have to say no there’s nothing
nothing we can do to affect the salmon but what generates the most concern by far is harp’s ability to tamper with
and punch holes in the ionosphere the thing that one of the air force documents points out is that
they want to use this heater to create enough energy in the ionosphere to get a runaway
effect up to the next stabilizing level whatever that might be it’s precisely whatever that might be
that worries dr patrick flanagan a physicist who believes the ionosphere is extremely fragile
the ionosphere is a chaotic system that is on the edge of instability so the trigger point for harp would be
that energy and that frequency which throws the ionosphere into chaos in other words it would be that point
which throws it over the edge for example it is believed that a hole in the earth’s ozone layer has caused an
increase in infrared radiation contributing to the melting of the polar ice caps
and forcing new zealand children to wear protective clothing to school flanagan and others believe the
potential danger from a hole in the ionosphere is much greater it could create a change
in the ionospheric shield that protects us from cosmic radiation
uh we’re worried about the ozone layer the ozone layer is nothing compared to
what harp could do you know we’re worried about ultraviolet
light that’s just very harmless ray compared to some of those
energy streams or particles that are coming from outer space that are being
deflected by this natural shield around the earth and this is what harp wants to play with
critics worry that harp has been placed in the hands of too few and that international debate is
necessary to fully explore all the potential dangers that this project may soon unleash
a proposal in which the air force has shown little interest to date once we open this box and it is a
veritable pandora’s box we’re not going to be able to close it and of course once you
acquire a technology you want bigger and better aspects of it and then we come to the
questions of whether or not if we go big if we go better if we’regoing to cause damage to our planet
Outro
proponents of harp insist the danger has been grossly exaggerated
the project continues to move forward as scheduled and will be fully operational by 1997.
