It's not only greenhouse gas emissions: Washington's new world order weapons
have the ability to trigger climate change.
By Michel Chossudovsky - Professor of Economics, University of Ottawa and TFF
associate, author of The Globalization of Poverty, second edition, Common
Courage Press
The important debate on global warming under UN auspices provides but a partial
picture of climate change; in addition to the devastating impacts of greenhouse
gas emissions on the ozone layer, the World's climate can now be
modified as part of a new generation of sophisticated "non-lethal weapons."
Both the Americans and the Russians have developed capabilities to manipulate
the World's climate.
In the US, the technology is being perfected under the High-frequency Active
Aural Research Program (HAARP) as part of the ("Star Wars") Strategic Defence
Initiative (SDI). Recent scientific evidence suggests that HAARP is fully
operational and has the ability of potentially triggering floods, droughts,
hurricanes and earthquakes.
HAARP IS A MASS DESTRUCTIVE WEAPON - NOT PART OF ANY NEGOTIATIONS
>From a military standpoint, HAARP is a weapon of mass destruction.
>Potentially, it constitutes an instrument of conquest capable of selectively
>destabilising agricultural and ecological systems of entire regions.
While there is no evidence that this deadly technology has been used, surely
the United Nations should be addressing the issue of "environmental warfare"
alongside the debate on the climatic impacts of greenhouse gases.
Despite a vast body of scientific knowledge, the issue of deliberate climatic
manipulations for military use has never been explicitly part of the UN agenda
on climate change. Neither the official delegations nor the environmental
action groups participating in the Hague Conference on Climate Change (CO6)
(November 2000) have raised the broad issue of "weather warfare" or
"environmental modification techniques (ENMOD)" as relevant to an understanding
of climate change.
The clash between official negotiators, environmentalists and American business
lobbies has centered on Washington's outright refusal to abide by commitments
on carbon dioxide reduction targets under the 1997 Kyoto protocol.(1) The
impacts of military technologies on the World's climate are not an object of
discussion or concern. Narrowly confined to greenhouse gases, the ongoing
debate on climate change serves Washington's strategic and defense objectives.
"WEATHER WARFARE"
World renowned scientist Dr. Rosalie Bertell confirms that "US military
scientists are working on weather systems as a potential weapon. The methods
include
the enhancing of storms and the diverting of vapor rivers in the Earth's
atmosphere to produce targeted droughts or floods."(2)
Already in the 1970s, former National Security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski had
foreseen in his book "Between Two Ages" that:
"Technology will make available, to the leaders of major nations, techniques
for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of the security
forces need be appraised... Techniques of weather modification could be
employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm. "
Marc Filterman, a former French military officer, outlines several types of
"unconventional weapons" using radio frequencies. He refers to "weather war,"
indicating that the U.S. and the Soviet Union had already "mastered the
know-how needed to unleash sudden climate changes (hurricanes, drought) in the
early 1980s." (3) These technologies make it "possible to trigger atmospheric
disturbances by using Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) radar [waves]." (4)
A simulation study of future defense "scenarios" commissioned for the US Air
Force calls for: "US aerospace forces to 'own the weather' by capitalizing on
emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to
war-fighting applications." From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting
those of the enemy via small-scale tailoring of natural weather patterns to
complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control,
weather-modification offers the war fighter a wide-range of possible options to
defeat or coerce an adversary. In the United States, weather-modification will
likely become a part of national security policy with both domestic and
international applications. Our government will pursue such a policy, depending
on its interests, at various levels. (5)
THE HIGH-FREQUENCY ACTIVE AURAL RESEARCH PROGRAM - HAARP
The High-Frequency Active Aural Research Program (HAARP) based in Gokoma
Alaska-jointly managed by the US Air Force and the US Navy-is part of a new
generation of sophisticated weaponry under the US Strategic Defense Initiative
(SDI). Operated by the Air Force Research Laboratory's Space Vehicles
Directorate, HAARP constitutes a system of powerful antennas capable of
creating "controlled local modifications of the ionosphere".
Scientist Dr. Nicholas Begich-actively involved in the public campaign against
HAARP-describes HAARP as: "A super-powerful radiowave-beaming technology that
lifts areas of the ionosphere (upper layer of the atmosphere) by focusing a
beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth
and penetrate everything-living and dead." (6)
Dr. Rosalie Bertell depicts HAARP as "a gigantic heater that can cause major
disruption in the ionosphere, creating not just holes, but long incisions in
the protective layer that keeps deadly radiation from bombarding the planet."
(7)
MISLEADING PUBLIC OPINION
HAARP has been presented to public opinion as a program of scientific and
academic research. US military documents seem to suggest, however, that HAARP's
main objective is to "exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense
purposes." (8) Without explicitly referring to the HAARP program, a US Air
Force study points to the use of "induced ionospheric modifications" as a means
of altering weather patterns as well as disrupting enemy communications and
radar.(9)
According to Dr. Rosalie Bertell, HAARP is part of a integrated weapons'
system, which has potentially devastating environmental consequences: "It is
related to fifty years of intensive and increasingly destructive programs to
understand and control the upper atmosphere. It would be rash not to associate
HAARP with the space laboratory construction which is separately being planned
by the United States. HAARP is an integral part of a long history of space
research and development of a deliberate military nature.
The military implications of combining these projects is alarming. The ability
of the HAARP / Spacelab/ rocket combination to deliver very large amount of
energy, comparable to a nuclear bomb, anywhere on earth via laser and particle
beams, are frightening. The project is likely to be "sold" to the public as a
space shield against incoming weapons, or, for the more gullible, a device for
repairing the ozone layer. (10)
In addition to weather manipulation, HAARP has a number of related uses: "HAARP
could contribute to climate change by intensively bombarding the atmosphere
with high-frequency rays. Returning low-frequency waves at high intensity could
also affect people's brains, and effects on tectonic movements cannot be ruled
out. (11).
More generally, HAARP has the ability of modifying the World's electro-magnetic
field. It is part of an arsenal of "electronic weapons" which US military
researchers consider a "gentler and kinder warfare". (12)
WEAPONS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER
HAARP is part of the weapons arsenal of the New World Order under the Strategic
Defense Initiative (SDI). From military command points in the US, entire
national economies could potentially be destabilized through climatic
manipulations. More importantly, the latter can be implemented without the
knowledge of the enemy, at minimal cost and without engaging military personnel
and equipment as in a conventional war. The use of HAARP-if it were to be
applied-could have potentially devastating impacts on the World's climate.
Responding to US economic and strategic interests, it could be used to
selectively modify climate in different parts of the World resulting in the
destabilization of agricultural and ecological systems. It is also worth noting
that the US Department of Defense has allocated substantial resources to the
development of intelligence and monitoring systems on weather changes. NASA and
the Department of Defense's National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) are
working on "imagery for studies of flooding, erosion, land-slide hazards,
earthquakes, ecological zones, weather forecasts, and climate change" with data
relayed from satellites. (13)
POLICY INERTIA OF THE UNITED NATIONS
According to the Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) signed at the
1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro:
"States have, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the
principles of international law, the responsibility to ensure that activities
within their jurisdiction or control do not cause damage to the environment of
other States or of areas beyond the limits of national jurisdiction." (14).
It is also worth recalling that an international Convention ratified by the UN
General Assembly in 1997 bans "military or other hostile use of environmental
modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects."
(15) Both the US and the Soviet Union were signatories to the Convention. The
Convention defines "environmental modification techniques" as referring to any
technique for changing-through the deliberate manipulation of natural
processes-the dynamics, composition or structure of the earth, including its
biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere or of outer space." (16) Why
then did the UN-disregarding the 1977 ENMOD Convention as well as its own
charter-decide to exclude from its agenda climatic changes resulting from
military programs?
EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ACKNOWLEDGES IMPACT OF HAARP
In February 1998, responding to a report of Mrs. Maj. Britt Theorin-Swedish MEP
and longtime peace advocate--, the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign
Affairs, Security and Defense Policy held public hearings in Brussels on the
HAARP program.(17) The Committee's "Motion for Resolution" submitted to the
European Parliament: "Considers HAARP by virtue of its far-reaching impact on
the environment to be a global concern and calls for its legal, ecological and
ethical implications to be examined by an international independent body;
[the Committee] regrets the repeated refusal of the United States
Administration to give evidence to the public hearing into the environmental
and public risks [of&] the HAARP program." (18.)
The Committee's request to draw up a "Green Paper" on "the environmental
impacts of military activities", however, was casually dismissed on the grounds
that the European Commission lacks the required jurisdiction to delve into "the
links between environment and defense". (19) Brussels was anxious to avoid a
showdown with Washington.
FULLY OPERATIONAL
While there is no concrete evidence of HAARP having been used, scientific
findings suggest that it is at present fully operational. What this means is
that HAARP could potentially be applied by the US military to selectively
modify the climate of an "unfriendly nation" or "rogue state" with a view to
destabilizing its national economy. Agricultural systems in both developed and
developing countries are already in crisis as a result of New World Order
policies including market deregulation, commodity dumping, etc. Amply
documented, IMF and World Bank "economic medicine" imposed on the Third World
and the countries of the former Soviet block has largely contributed to the
destabilization of domestic agriculture. In turn, the provisions of the World
Trade Organization (WTO) have supported the interests of a handful of Western
agri-biotech conglomerates in their quest to impose genetically modified (GMO)
seeds on farmers throughout the World.
It is important to understand the linkage between the economic, strategic and
military processes of the New World Order. In the above context, climatic
manipulations under the HAARP program (whether accidental or deliberate) would
inevitably exacerbate these changes by weakening national economies, destroying
infrastructure and potentially triggering the bankruptcy of farmers over vast
areas. Surely national governments and the United Nations should address
the possible consequences of HAARP and other "non-lethal weapons" on climate
change.
