WEAPONS OF TOTAL DESTRUCTION
by Dan Edan
The US military was not the only investigator of "ionospheric heaters." The
Russians conducted their own research with similar systems, based on
Eastlund's technology. Other heaters also conducted research in Norway,
Brazil and Puerto Rico. Russian "bigger is better" programs, however,
beamed huge amounts of electromagnetic power at the ionosphere,
successfully bouncing volleys of electromagnetic energy back to the Earth's
surface. At these higher power levels, the heated ionosphere acted like a
powerful battery, storing, amplifying and discharging destructive beams of
energy that could devastate a distant target on demand, in seconds. At that
time, the Russians (USSR) lacked the powerful computing facilities that
were required to direct and control this energy beam.
To be precise, calculations for bouncing these energy beams must take
into account the rotation of the Earth, the angle of reflectance, and a variety
of complex, dynamic factors. The US had the power of CRAY and EMASS
computer systems, but lacked the power output capabilities of the Russian
heaters. HAARP would change that.
In 1995, the US military sought congressional funding for a "super-heater,"
a world class HAARP installation that would be capable of exceeding the
Russian power outputs many times over. But there was a snag. The
American public had been told that the Star Wars program was a
"defensive" weapon. President Regan had even offered to share this
technology with other countries to establish a "shield of peace" that would
forever inhibit nuclear proliferation. But would the American public fund a
"death ray" which could deliver "first strike" capabilities to any point on the
globe within seconds? Even the military doubted that this would be an easy
sale.
At first, the military attempted to describe the HAARP as a substitute for
the controversial ELF (low frequency) transmitters. Eastlund's research had
demonstrated that the heated "lens" could generate and reflect ELF radio
signals if the applied HF power source was pulsed. The large ELF antenna
systems in Wisconsin and Michigan could be replaced by the smaller,
more efficient HAARP arrays.
Since their installation in America's dairyland, ELF signals were becoming
a sensitive topic. Research was showing that ELF radiation was extremely
harmful. Dr. Cletus Kanavy, chief of the biological effects group of the
Phillips Laboratory's Electromagnetic Effects Division at Kirkland Air Force
Base in New Mexico, stated that "the entire issue of human interaction with
electromagnetic (RF & microwave) radiation is... a major national
population health concern." (Biological Effects of Microwave Radiation: A
White Paper, Microwave News at 12, September/October 1993).
Dr. Kanavy noted the "large amount of data, both animal experimental and
human clinical, to support the existence of chronic, non-thermal effects."
These effects include behavioral aberrations, neural network perturbations,
fetal (embryonic) tissue damage (inducing birth defects), cataractogenesis
(cataracts), altered blood chemistry, metabolic changes and suppression
of the endocrine and immune systems. There were also cases of sudden
and unexplained mutations in frogs and wildlife in the radiation paths of
ELF installations. It was only a matter of time before the public outcry would
prohibit ELF transmitters.

of Electromagnetic Fields" in Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 51:140 at

Someone in Congress realized the public safety implications of ELF
waves-- even if they were to be generated by HAARP. The funding for
HAARP was delayed while the Pentagon quickly assured the
congressional committees that the ELF programs would be scuttled and
replaced by HAARP's "high frequencies" which were, after all, "harmless."
Congress thereby appropriated 16 million dollars for HAARP's initial
expansion. But was the HAARP really doing away with ELF radiation? Not
at all.(see 104th Congress, 1st session, Report 104-24 at 190, July 28,
1995)
The military's own Executive Summary of the HAARP program clearly
states their reliance on ELF waves. Instead of transmitting these waves
from ground based transmitters, HAARP created these waves through the
use of "pulse" transmissions of their HF energy beams. Or, to put it another
way, HAARP duplicated the ELF signals by turning their signal on and off at
rates (30 to 3000 cycles per second) within the ELF range. The result was
that ELF radiation could be directed to a specific area on the surface of the
planet, at will.
"A number of critical Department of Defense communications systems rely
on the use of ELF/VLF (30 Hz-30 kHz) radio waves. These include those
associated with the Minimum Essential Emergency Communications
Network (MEECN) and those used to disseminate messages to
submerged submarines. In the latter, frequencies in the 70-150 Hz range
are especially attractive, but difficult to generate efficiently with ground-
based antenna systems."
"The potential exists for generating such waves by ground-based heating of
the ionosphere. The heater is used to modulate the conductivity of the lower
ionosphere, which in turn modulates ionospheric currents. This modulated
current, in effect, produces a virtual antenna in the ionosphere for the
radiation of radio waves. The technique has already been used to generate
ELF/VLF signals at a number of vertical HF heating facilities in the West
and the Soviet Union. To date, however, these efforts have been confined
to essentially basic research studies, and few attempts have been made to
investigate ways to increase the efficiency of such ELF/VLF generation to
make it attractive for communications applications. In this regard, heater
generated ELF would be attractive if it could provide significantly stronger
signals than those available from the Navy's existing antenna systems in
Wisconsin and Michigan."
"Recent theoretical research suggests that this may be possible, provided
the appropriate HF heating facility was available. Because this area of
research appears especially promising, and because of existing
Department of Defense requirements for ELF and VLF, it is already a
primary driver of the proposed research program."
(Executive Summary, Section 2.2)
All of these potentially harmful effects clearly violate the US government's
own Environmental Protection Agency's doctrine. Congress established,
through NEPA, that it is the policy of the federal government to "create and
maintain conditions under which man and nature can exist in productive
harmony." 42 U.S.C. Sec. 4331(a).
To date, there have been eleven other patents derived from Eastlund's
original work. These patents describe the reflective alterations of the
ionosphere for such uses as "nuclear scale explosions without radiation,"
"power-beaming systems," "over-the-horizon radar systems," and "nuclear
missile detection and destruction systems." Further, the patents are now
owned by Raytheon, a long-standing defense contractor, and can now be
combined with other military patents and used for battlefield applications.
Eastlund's original research recognized the military uses for his
discoveries. A review of his patent applications shows how this technology
can be used:
"...ability to put unprecedented amounts of power in 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 in 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."
Additional research indicates that funding was approved to develop a
tomographic scanning apparatus back in 1996. This ability to penetrate
deep within the Earth, to scan for caves, munitions storage and potential
enemy shelters, is specifically outlined as part of the funding agreement.
But the same wavelengths used in this tomographic scanning are powerful
ELF radiation. And once located, strategic targets can be destroyed by
changing the frequency and power of the directional beam. In short, the
104th Congress was duped into funding a "death ray." Recent (FY-1999)
budget requests have included huge appropriations for the Navy, with
emphasis on anti-missile technologies. The Navy is also developing high-
altitude manned and unmanned vehicles at secret locations, such as those
in Nevada. One such project is called "Aurora," suggesting a link to this
new technology. It is our belief that this electromagnetic beam system is
currently on-line.
Perhaps we can justify this dangerous manipulation of nature by convincing
ourselves that America is the only remaining super-power, with morality
and capability to be Earth's police force. Certainly this kind of lethal power
is better controlled by a democracy than, say, a terrorist regime like Libya,
or an unstable government like Iraq. The potential for building a HAARP
type of installation is well within the technology and budget of even the
poorest country. It involves no nuclear fuel and can be constructed covertly.
Computing power is now virtually unlimited. The country that has such a
capability on-line first, and is able to detect and destroy other such devices,
could maintain the balance of power and control of the globe.
HAARP technology is presently under suspicion by a number of scientists
around the world. The ionosphere has been described as a delicate
"bubble" of charged particles that, much like the ozone layer, serves as a
thin skin, protecting us against high energy particles that regularly stream
towards Earth from the Sun. Even a temporary "hole" or rip in this ion field
could result in the collision of these particles with our genetic and biologic
molecules, causing mutations or death. Some scientists even worry that the
ionosphere could collapse from electrical imbalance. They ask, "Can we
really afford the risk of tampering with something that we do not yet fully
understand, and which belongs to all life (not just human) on this planet?"
HAARP has even been accused of environmental vandalism.
The Earth has a solid metallic core and a rotating mass of electrical
conducting, liquid rock called the mantle. This makes the Earth behave like
a giant dynamo, with a strong magnetic field. Not every planet has this. The
magnetic field, or magnetosphere, is important for the existence of life, as
we know it. It effectively diverts the solar wind as it throws charged, high
energy particles towards the Earth. These magnetic fields are furthest from
the Earth at the equator and they actually meet the planet surface in the
Arctic regions. The latter phenomenon is the reason for locating
ionospheric "heaters" near the polar regions of Earth, where they are most
accessible and vulnerable to unnatural influences.
The solar wind is so powerful that it distorts the magnetosphere, causing
the part facing the Sun to become compressed (left) and the side opposite
to the Sun (right) to have a "tail," similar to the tail of comets. Together with
the lower ionosphere, these charged atmospheres are essential for
maintaining the radiation-free environment on our planet. Like the ozone
layer, they are fragile but essential to life. The irresponsible damage to
these ecosystems could turn HAARP into a weapon of total destruction.
For more information on Solar Wind, and the dangers that these periodic
disturbances cause to life on Earth, see "Storms on the Sun" in February's
Viewzone.
ViewZone contacted HAARP, through their web site, in the preparation of
this story. At first, our inquiries were treated lightly. We were assured that
HAARP was purely a research facility with no classified status. When we
submitted some of the material referenced in this story, we were told that
there was no basis to support such activity at HAARP's Gakona facility. We
were reminded that HAARP has an open web site, with ample pictures and
public disclosures. We were asked, "Would a classified military operation
act this way?"
A review of the Congressional appropriations indicates that the proposed
HAARP facility was to be located in Alaska's Poker Flat rocket range (see
Executive Summary parts 4.3 and 4.2.1) a flat, spacious and remote facility
about 30 miles north of Fairbanks. The Executive Summary states any
number of reasons why this tundra location is ideal. However, Gakona, the
site depicted on HAARP's web site, is located 260 miles south of Poker
Flats, in the rugged mountain country of the Alaska Range. Was there
some mistake, or was the "public" HAARP program built in Gakona, while
the classified projects were being constructed at Poker Flats, as planned?
We put this question bluntly to HAARP. Rather than answer with their usual
candor, we received the following reply:
Viewzone: Can you comment on the wording of the appropriations
statement that was submitted to the 104th Congress, as quoted in my e-
mail?
HAARP: "No I can't. As an editor, I'm sure you realize that NO government
employee ever comments on other branches of the government. This is a
long-standing protocol courtesy and it is not ever trifled with. It is unfortunate
that there are people who will twist this policy into some conspiratorial
motive."
"As I have mentioned to you numerous times, this e-mail account is for the
purpose of answering "technical" questions about the HAARP program.
The anti-HAARP claims are easily refuted on a technical basis alone and I
have given you the technical facts which do exactly that. The bottom line is
that HAARP is technically capable of operating as an ionospheric
observatory capable only, of conducting limited ionospheric studies which
will yield enormous knowledge that will be useful in the design of reliable,
high performance communication and navigation systems for the DoD as
well as the private sector. It has about as much value as a weapon as the
Keck Observatory in Hawaii or the Very Large Array in New Mexico."
Best regards,
[HAARP] Webmaster
Viewzone also asked the inventor, Dr. Bernard Eastlund, about his
technology. Dr. Eastlund informed us that the patents he transferred are
capable of doing everything that he stated. We asked him to comment on
the fact that his discoveries had been acquired for military, rather than
humane use.
Doctor Eastlund: "With some funding from the European Space Agency I
have been able to address some of the issues you raised. In particular, I
have continued to develop concepts that speak to the civilian (or humane)
issues rather than the military.
I have taken a hard look at the potential beneficial effects of the root
technology and have developed a new concept for prevention of tornado
formation in mesocylones based on heating cold downdrafts within the
storm with microwave radiation from a satellite based source. The concept
is called the Thunderstorm Solar Power Satellite. I presented a paper
entitled, "Systems Considerations of Weather Modification Experiments
Using High Power electromagnetic Radiation" at the "Workshop on Space
Exploration and Resources Exploitation-Ex[plospace 20-22 October, 1998,
Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. The Systems Study indicates a possibility it might
work, but raises issues of safety and the ability of diagnostics and
numerical simulation capabilities to monitor and predict behavior of a
storm.
If successful, it might be possible to prevent the formation of destructive
tornadoes. This could be a very positive outgrowth of my original work.
Further extrapolations of the technology may also be useful in hurricane
mitigation.
Regarding safety. I believe it is the paramount issue. Unless these
applications can be shown to be safe no experimentation should be
initiated. My Company has adopted safety guidelines which include
guidelines prepared by the NAS for global warming mitigation experiments
and a few that were added to ensure that the systems are not used for
military purposes. The guidelines are included in a paper I gave yesterday
at a conference on '"The Applications of Remote Sensing and GIS for
Disaster Management." held January 19-21, 1999 at the George
Washington University. Copy attached. Note in the guidelines I have made
a strong recommendation for international control.
In the future, Dr. Eastlund's technologies will change our planet. Electrical
energy will be available everywhere, without the need for transmission
lines. Disasters from severe thunderstorms and tornadoes will be
minimized, climates will be made milder, and food production will be
enhanced by illuminated skies and ample rainfall. Global communication
will be inexpensive. Critical ozone will be replenished. And, most
importantly, nuclear weapons will have been made obsolete by the abilities
to detect and destroy enemy installations. Terrorism will also be made
much more difficult. In short, Eastlund's discoveries provide inexpensive
energy and an end to draught and hunger-- the major causes of human
violence.
But these humane applications are still in the future. Eastlund's patents
remain under the control of the military industrial complex. We are more
likely to see an instantaneous "death ray," or mass "mind control"
mechanisms, before Eastlund's discoveries make the planet a better place
to live.
"And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come
down from heaven to Earth in full view of men." —Revelations 13:13
