"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 will be
appraised...Techniques of weather modification could be employed to
produce prolonged periods of drought or storm or to produce
earthquakes"
- Zbigniew Brzezinski, former Secretary of State under Jimmy Carter
writing in "Between Two Ages" 1970.
"But afterwards there occured violent earthquakes and floods; and in a
single day and night of misfortune all your war-like men in a body sank
into the earth, and the island of Atlantis, in like manner disappeared
in the depth of the sea."
- Plato in Timaeus
"It is a terrible tragedy beyond all comprehension."
- George W. Bush
H.A.A.R.P. is an acronym for High-frequency Active
Auroral Research Program and is a powerful transmitter that focuses and
heats parts of the ionosphere with electromagnectic radiowave beams.The
signals broadcast by the HAARP transmitters consist of multiple
megawatt power pulses but is confined to a sharp narrow beam which is
focused upward above the Gakona, Alaska facility at the region where
the Van Allen Radiation Belts or the shell of the magnetosphere
intersect the atmosphere. This region is called the Auroral Jet. The
electromagnetic waves thus produced bounce back, penetrating deep into
the earth to locate underground munitions, minerals and tunnels. This
capability of H.A.A.R.P. to penetrate the earth's surface to a depth of
several kilometers is the Earth-Penetrating-Tomography Project (EPTP),
which the United States Senate funded in 1996. As the particles from
the sun in the radiation belts impact the ionosphere, they are
suddenly forced sideways by the rotation of the
atmosphere around the earth. The placement of the H.A.A.R.P. facility
directly under the auroral jet makes it unique and ideal for modulating
the jet stream and thus producing a communication signal which can be
received anywhere in the world where the magnetic field can be sensed.
Unfortunately, the ability to penetrate and communicate beneath the
ocean and earth, plus H.A.A.R.P.'s global missile tracking capability
represents a military technological advance which is classified "Top
Secret", so no information about the purpose or methods of the
H.A.A.R.P. ULF technology has been released to the public. H.A.A.R.P.
has been operational since the early 1990s.
Part Two: The Plan.
As far back as 1958, the chief White House advisor on weather
modification, Captain Howard T. Orville, said the U.S. defense
department was studying "ways to manipulate the charges of the earth
and sky and so affect the weather" by using an electronic beam to
ionize or de-ionize 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-recognized 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 fascist. When he wrote his chapter, "How To
Wreck The Environment", for the book Unless Peace Comes, he was
describing the uses of weather manipulation, climate modification,
polar ice cap melting or destabilization, 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. Can H.A.A.R.P. be that weapon? The
military's intention to do environmental engineering is well
documented. U.S. Congress' subcommittee hearings on Oceans and
International Environment looked into military weather and climate
modification conducted in the early 1970's. "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,"
PART Three: Manufacturing Earthquakes in the Past.
On February 28, 2001, a deep magnitude 6.8 earthquake occurred in the
Seattle, WA.-Vancouver, B.C. area. H.A.A.R.P. began bombarding the
earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere at very high signals on February
17 in conjunction with US bombing in Iraq and continued until the day
of the earthquake on February 28. Looking at data correlations between
ultra-low frequency electromagnetic and seismic signals, the anomalous
profile of the Seattle-Vancouver earthquake indicates that it could
have been triggered by electromagnetic
ionization. The earthquake was a 6.8 magnitude earthquake at a depth of
40 miles, which, in the words of one observer, "looked like a 3.0
magnitude." ELFRAD, a group that monitors electromagnetic events,
admitted that H.A.A.R.P. operations may have "inadvertently" affected
the earthquake.The magnetosphere is vital to the stability of the
tectonic plates that float on the surface of the earth. By disrupting
the magnetosphere, H.A.A.R.P. could cause tectonic instabilities, i.e.,
earthquakes. Short wave radio operators in Seattle state that unusual
electromagnetic broadcasts preceded the Seattle - Vancouver earthquake.
One researcher monitoring the electromagnetic broadcasts prior to the
earthquake picked up a signal so strong "it went right off the S meter
on my SW set at that frequency at 6:00 am on Feb 20th. Took an audio
sampling of half an hour but can't make hide or hair of what H.A.A.R.P.
is broadcasting, just that it's strong." Another Seattle-based
researcher, Kent Steadman, reported electromagnetic activity just prior
to and during the earthquake, receiving signals at 153 MHz. Steadman
noted that he "helped install seismic monitoringstations in California
in the early 90's. They are designed as an early warning system in
detecting earth movements prior to a big quake. Several of these were
in the 153-154 band. They send data, but during a big shift they send a
screeching sounding data burst." The ELFRAD group recorded intense
activity from .02 to .036 hertz 473 minutes prior to the Washington
quake - and 4 minutes earlier, there was another quake registering 5.4
off the coast of Central America.
During one week over Christmas there were FIVE major earthquakes across
the globe, culminating in a series of devastating tremors in Iran.
The devastating 9.0 earthquake that ripped through Bam, Iran on
December 24,2003 occurred exactly one year to the hour preceeding the
Sumatra quake. During the week after the Bam quake there were other
powerful earthquakes happening around the world as well.
The media barely mentioned these other quakes, largely because they
occurred in remote areas and caused little damage and loss of life.
However, such a spate of earthquakes in so a brief a period is curious
in itself. But what is really unusual is the actual timing of the
Iranian quake. Just as Iran was about to challenge Israel's nuclear
supremacy in the Middle East, it is rocked by a devastating quake
centering directly beneath city of Bam.
Part Four: The Sumatra 9.0 Earthquake
Exactly one year after the Bam earthquake and almost to the hour, the
Sumatra 9.0 Earthquake occurred setting off the tsunami that created so
much havoc. Interestingly, another amazing "coincidence" occured.the
Australian GeoScience Organisation - AGSO - ran an article in its
AUSTGEO NEWS for September 2004 about the risk factors for earthquakes
and consequent tsunamis developing off the SW coast of Sumatra. AGSO
got it nearly right but failed to (publicly at least) predict that
multiple earthquakes would let rip along most of the entire
Sumatra-Andaman shear zone and that this would create multiple tsunamis
which would funnel up the Bay of Bengal and across to Sri Lanka with
such deadly force. The AGSO model showed the tsunamis vectoring SW into
the un-inhabited section of the Indian Ocean. This is similar to the
amazing coincidence of the Worlds foremost authorities onearthquakes
and seismic events being in Tokyo for a major conference when disaster
struck Kobe a few years ago, or the marine survey being located
off-shore of southern New Guinea when a tsunamis hit their north coast.
None of these coincidences on their own are out of the question but
when taken as a whole one has to wonder... was this AGSO report just an
amazing coincidence or were they asked to model the SW Sumatra area by
someone wanting to know what might happen if the plate boundary was
tickled by energetic electromagnectic ionization ?
If AGSO were "simply" being prescient their guys deserve high accolade.
However prescience is not something for which AGSO is normally known.
Part Five: The Aftermath
The US Military and the State Department were given advanced warning of
the Sumatra Earthquake and Tsuami. America's Navy base on the island of
Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean was notified. Why were fishermen in
India, Sri Lanka and Thailand not provided with the same warnings as
the US Navy and the US State Department? Why did the US State
Department remain mum on the existence of an impending catastrophe?
With a modern communications system - email, telephone, fax, satellite
TV - they could have saved the lives of more than 80,000 people. And
the death toll is rising. The earthquake was a Magnitude 9.0 on the
Richter scale, among the highest in recorded history. US authorities
had initially recorded 8.0 on the Richter scale. As confirmed by
several reports, US scientists in Hawaii, had advanced knowledge
regarding an impending catastrophe, but failed to contact their Asian
counterparts. Charles McCreery of the Pacific Warning Center in Hawaii
confirmed that his team tried desperately to get in touch with his
counterparts in Asia. According to McCreery, director of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's center in Honolulu, the team
did its utmost to contact the countries.
His team contacted the US State Department, which apparently contacted
the Asian governments. The Indian government confirms that no such
warning was received. (The Hindu, 27 Dec 2004) (9.0) on the Richter
scale yet the Director of the Hawaii Warning Center stated that "they
did not know" that the earthquake would generate a deadly tsunami until
it had hit Sri Lanka, more than one and a half hours later, at 2.30
GMT."Not until the deadly wave hit Sri Lanka and the scientists in
Honolulu saw news reports of the damage there did they recognize what
was happening.
"Then we knew there was something moving across the Indian Ocean," said
Charles McCreery. (quoted in the NYT, 28 Dec 2004). This statement is
at odds with the Timeline of the tidal wave disaster. Thailand was hit
almost an hour before Sri Lanka and the news reports were already out.
Surely, these reports out of Thailand were known to the scientists in
Hawaii, not to mention the office of Sec. Colin Powell, well before the
tidal wave reached Sri Lanka. "We wanted to try to do something, but
without a plan in place then, it was not an effective way to issue a
warning,or to have it acted upon," Dr. McCreery said."There would have
still been some time -- not a lot of time, but some time if there was
something that could be done in Madagascar, or on the coast of Africa."
The above statement is also inconsistent. The tidal wave reached the
East African coastline
several hours after it reached The Maldives islands. According to news
reports, Male, the capital of the Maldives was hit three hours after
the earthquake, at approximately 4.00 GMT. By that time everybody
around the World knew. It is worth noting that the US Navy was fully
aware of the deadly tidal wave, because the Navy was on the Pacific
Warning Center's list of contacts. Moreover, America's strategic Naval
base on
the island of Diego Garcia had also been notified.
Although directly in the path of the tidal wave, the
Diego Garcia military base reported "no damage". "One of the few places
in the Indian Ocean that got the message of the quake was Diego Garcia,
a speck of an island with a United States Navy base, because the
Pacific warning center's contact list includes the Navy. Finding the
appropriate people in Sri Lanka or India was harder." (NYT, 28 Dec
2004,) Now how hard is
it to pick up the phone and call Sri Lanka? According to Charles
McCreery, director of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. "We don't
have contacts in our address book for anybody in that part of the
world." Only after the first waves hit Sri Lanka did workers at
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's PacificTsunami
Warning Centre [PTWC] and others in Hawaii start making phone calls to
US diplomats in Madagascar and Mauritius in an attempt to head off
further disaster. "We didn't have a contact in place where you could
just pick up the phone," Dolores Clark, spokeswoman for the
International Tsunami Information Centre in Hawaii said. "We were
starting from scratch." These statement on the surface are
inconsistent, since several Indian Ocean Asian countries are in fact
members of the Tsunami WarningSystem. There are 26 member countries of
the International Coordination Group for the Tsunami Warning System ,
including Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia. All these countries would
normally be in the address book of the PTWC, which works in close
coordination with its sister organization the ICGTWS ,which has its
offices in Hawaii at the headquarters
of the National Weather Service Pacific Region
Headquarters in downtown Honolulu. The mandate of the ICGTWS is to
"assist member states in establishing national warning systems, and
makes information available on current technologies for tsunami
warningsystems." Australia and Indonesia were notified. The
US Congress is to investigate why the US government did not notify all
the Indian Ocean nations in the affected area: "Only two countries in
the affected region, Indonesia and Australia, received the warning"
"Although Thailand belongs to the international tsunami warning
network, its west coast does not have the system's wave sensors mounted
on ocean buoys. The northern tip of the earthquake fault is located
near the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and tsunamis appear to have
rushed eastward toward the Thai resort of Phuket. "They had no tidal
gauges and they had no warning," said Waverly Person, a geophysicist at
the National Earthquake Information Centre in Golden, Colorado, U.S.,
which monitors seismic activity worldwide. "There are no buoys in the
Indian Ocean and that's where this tsunami occurred."" (Hindu, 27 Dec
2004) The issue of the Ocean sensors is a Red Herring
- "We we were not able to warn them because we had no sensors in the
Indian Ocean." We are not dealing with advanced information based on
the Ocean sensors, but on an emergency warning transmitted in the
immediate wake of the earthquake. The latter took place at 00.58 GMT on
the 26th of Dec. That information was sent to The State Department and
the US Navy. With modern
communications, the information of an impending
disaster could have been sent around the World in amatter of minutes,
by email, by telephone, by fax, not to mention by live satellite
Television. Coastguards, municipalities, local governments, tourist
hotels, etc could have been warned. According to Tsunami Society
President Prof. Tad Murty of the University of Manitoba,"there's no
reason for a single individual to get killed in a tsunami," since most
areas had anywhere from 25 minutes to four hours before a wave hit. So,
once again, because of indifference and corruption thousands of
innocent people have died needlessly." (Calgary Sun, 28 Dec 2004) Key
Questions
1.) Why were the Indian Ocean countries' governments not informed? Were
there "guidelines" from the US military or the State Department
regarding the release of an advanced warning? According to the
statement of the Hawaii based PTWC, advanced warning was released
but on a selective basis. Indonesia was already hit, so the warning was
in any event redundant and Australia was several thousand miles from
the epicentre of the earthquake and was, therefore, under no immediate
threat.
2.) Did US authorities monitoring seismographic data have knowledge of
the earthquake prior to its actual occurrence at 00.57 GMT on the26th
of December? The question is whether there were
indications of abnormal seismic activity prior to
01.00 GMT on the 26th of Dec. The US Geological Survey confirmed that
the earthquake which triggered the tidal wave measured 9.0 on the
Richter scale and was the fourth largest quake since 1900. In such
cases, one would expect evidence of abnormal seismic activity before
the actual occurrence of a major earthquake.
3.)
Why is the US military calling the shots on Humanitarian Relief? Why in
the wake of the disaster, is the US military (rather than civilian
humanitarian/aid organizations operating under UN auspices) taking a
lead role? The US Pacific Command has been designated to coordinate the
channeling of emergency relief. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Rusty Blackman,
commander of the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force based in Okinawa, has
been designated to lead the emergency relief program Lieutenant General
Blackman was previously Chief of Staff for Coalition Forces Land
Component Command, responsible for leading
the Marines into Baghdad during "Operation Iraqi
Freedom." Three "Marine disaster relief assessment teams" under
Blackman's command have been sent to Thailand, Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
US military aircraft are conducting observation missions. In a bitter
irony, part of this operation is being coordinated out of America's
Naval base in Diego Garcia, which was not struck by the tidal wave.
Meanwhile, USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, which was in Hong
Kong when the earthquake and tsunamis struck, has been diverted to the
Gulf of Thailand to support recovery operations" Two Aircraft Carriers
have been sent to the region. Why is it necessary for the US to
mobilize so much military equipment? The pattern is unprecedented.
Conway said the Lincoln carrier strike group has 12helicopters embarked
that he said could be "extremely valuable" in recovery missions. An
additional 25 helicopters are aboard USS Bonhomme Richard, headed to
the Bay of Bengal. Conway said the expeditionary strike group was in
Guam and is forgoing port visits in Guam and Singapore and expects to
arrive in the Bay of Bengal by Jan. 7. Conway said the strike group,
with its seven ships, 2,100 Marines and 1,400 sailors aboard, also has
four Cobra helicopters that will be instrumented in reconnaissance
efforts. Because fresh water is one of the greatest needs in the
region, Fargo has ordered seven ships - each capable ofproducing 90,000
gallons of fresh water a day - to theregion. Conway said of these ships
arepre-positioned in Guam and two will come from Diego Garcia. A field
hospital ship pre-positioned in Guam would also be ordered to the
region, depending on findings of the disaster relief assessment teams
and
need, Conway said. The question remains: Why has a senior commander
involved in the invasion of Iraq been assigned to lead the US emergency
relief program?
