Weather Manipulation and Asymmetric Wars - Has the weather been weaponised? The HAARP Array.

Over the past few years we have seen increasingly extreme weather events. All across the world people are feeling the effects of hurricanes, heat waves/droughts, flash flooding or forest fires with seemingly no end in site.

Is this really the effect of the man-made climate change narrative the MSM are trying to get us to buy into at the behest of their corporate and governmental masters?

Or is it the result of a different kind of man-made climate change? One in which the weather has been harnessed as a weapon that is being used for sinister purposes?

More worrying than that is the question, has the technology originally designed to manipulate weather patterns been turned into a 'super weapon' itself being used to fight an unreported asymmetric war!?

If so WHO would do this and WHY?

There has been an influx of 'indy journo's' recently here on Steemit, driven here by an increasingly insipid censorship campaign being waged by other social media platforms. I understand to some of you this information won't be new news however it's easy to forget when you spend a lot of time 'down the rabbit hole' that not everyone concerns themselves with the events going on behind the curtains that certain groups of people wish to keep secret. However many of you I'm sure will be hearing this for the first time and bearing in mind the control of information attempts currently happening I thought it wise to lock it into the blockchain where it can't be deleted or altered. How far away are we from an attempt at complete control and censorship of the internet?

I'll be presenting a lot of information in this post and you will need to decide for yourself what you think it means, whatever you conclude I'm sure you'll agree there is something weird and potentially very dangerous going on.

To begin I'd like to introduce you to This document, titled......
Weather as a force mutiplier: Owning the weather in 2025, a research paper presented to the US Airforce in 1996.

It is caveated with IMO a 'get out' disclaimer however when you read the whole paper you get the distinct feeling this was is no way meant to be hypothetical!

This is the Executive Summary which is eye opening to say the least......

Interesting and quite scary to think that when this document was produced the authors compared 'weather manipulation' to splitting the atom, especially when you consider the consequences that brought about. What's more scary to me though is the thought that 22 years ago when this document was written 'intervention tools' we're already in existence. 22 years is a long time in this day and age when it comes to technological advancements, I shudder to think what has been created.

Lets take a look at a piece of technology that was being developed in 1996 although allegedly not operational since 2014 that was created to manipulate the weather and may well have been 'officially shut down' in order to be secretly improved to become the weapon it was hoped could be used against 'rogue states' and other perceived enemies......

HAARP.

High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program.
I deliberately used the Wikipedia explanation as the link to HAARP as it contained this statement.......

HAARP is a target of conspiracy theorists, who claim that it is capable of "weaponizing" weather. Commentators and scientists say that advocates of this theory are uninformed, as claims made fall well outside the abilities of the facility, if not the scope of natural science.

That statement made me laugh because as you will see it is completely contradicted many times by the developers of the technology, the US Airforce in numerous statements and reports!

Lets take a look at how HAARP was portrayed by a 'so called' conspiracy theorist...

This article called, The Ultimate Weapon of Mass Destruction: “Owning the Weather” for Military Use found at GlobalResearch and authored by Prof Michel Chossodovsky attempts to explain what may be going on with weather manipulation as well as the part possibly played by HAARP.
Its a long article and I will comment the main points and weather events the author alleges could be a result of the use of HAARP, however I won't be copying all of the technical data not necessarily pertinent to the post, so please click the link and take a look at it in its entirety as its a sobering read. The article was authored a while ago however the information is still relevant especially when considering what has happened and is still happening since it was written.

The following is the full authors introduction note which is fascinating in itself....

Environmental modification techniques (ENMOD) for military use constitute, in the present context of global warfare, the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.

Rarely acknowledged in the debate on global climate change, the world’s weather can now be modified as part of a new generation of sophisticated electromagnetic weapons. Both the US and Russia have developed capabilities to manipulate the climate for military use.

Environmental modification techniques have been applied by the US military for more than half a century. US mathematician John von Neumann, in liaison with the US Department of Defense, started his research on weather modification in the late 1940s at the height of the Cold War and foresaw ‘forms of climatic warfare as yet unimagined’. During the Vietnam war, cloud-seeding techniques were used, starting in 1967 under Project Popeye, the objective of which was to prolong the monsoon season and block enemy supply routes along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

This little snippet of information alone gives me pause for thought, the release of the Weather as a force mutiplier: Owning the weather in 2025 paper may well have been written as a theoretical exercise however the US and most likely its enemies were clearly already well down that road when it came out.

The US military has developed advanced capabilities that enable it selectively to alter weather patterns. The technology, which was initially developed in the 1990s under the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), was an appendage of the Strategic Defense Initiative – ‘Star Wars’. From a military standpoint, HAARP –which was officially abolished in 2014– is a weapon of mass destruction, operating from the outer atmosphere and capable of destabilising agricultural and ecological systems around the world.
Image Source

Officially, the HAARP program has been closed down at its location in Alaska. The technology of weather modification shrouded in secrecy, nonetheless prevails.

Weather-modification, according to the US Air Force document AF 2025 Final Report, “offers the war fighter a wide range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary”, capabilities, it says, extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes:

Hmmm, at the end of the post is a list of some of the weather related disasters that had affected the perceived enemies of the Western alliance of US/UK/NATO/Israel when the article was written however extreme weather events aren't exclusive to the 'enemies' of this alliance. In recent years the US has had its fair share. Could the extreme weather affecting the US be a side effect of messing with nature or much worse is there a tit for tat asymmetric war going on as we speak where weaponised weather is being used covertly by opposing forces that have developed similar technology?
A disturbing thought.

Remember this in California recently? How is it possible for tree's to burn from the inside out during 'normal' circumstances? Are there other contributing factors outside of normal parameters that may have had a hand in the unbelievable devastation caused during these recent fires, like a direct energy weapon working like a microwave?.

For those of you who think it may be a fake photo, here is a link to a whole bunch of video footage...

An this in Tianjin, China in 2015. A catastrophe reported as a chemical explosion that destroyed a huge area around a factory complex, the heat required to melt over 8000 cars over such a huge area was immense. Could this be another example of the use of HAARP or an improved/modified version as a weapon?

‘Weather modification will become a part of domestic and international security and could be done unilaterally… It could have offensive and defensive applications and even be used for deterrence purposes. The ability to generate precipitation, fog and storms on earth or to modify space weather… and the production of artificial weather all are a part of an integrated set of [military] technologies.”

In 1977, an international Convention was ratified by the UN General Assembly which banned ‘military or other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects.’ According to the Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques:

The term “environmental modification techniques” refers 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. (Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques, United Nations, Geneva: 18 May 1977)

While the substance of the 1977 Convention was reasserted in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) signed at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, debate on weather modification for military use has become a scientific taboo.

Military analysts and scientists are mute on the subject. Meteorologists are not investigating the matter and environmentalists are largely focussing on greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto Protocol. The possibility of climatic or environmental manipulations as part of a military and intelligence agenda, while tacitly acknowledged, is not part of the broader debate on climate change under UN auspices.

I'm not at all surprised that no one in the mainstream is investigating this aspect of the 'climate change' debate. The narrative being fed to the public is one that ends up in huge amounts of cash being 'taxed' from the masses to pay for the damage to the planet from their own over consumption! What would happen to the narrative if it was revealed that the real reason for the extreme weather patterns seen recently was nothing like what they're telling us?

While discussion of the post Cold War military applications of weather warfare is a taboo, the US Air Force has nonetheless acknowledged the strategic importance of ENMOD techniques in the modern battlefield of non-conventional warfare and intel ops, including the conduct, without the enemy’s knowledge, of “covert” weather modification operations.

While the US Force acknowledges that ENMOD weapons are part of military arsenal, there is no formal proof or evidence that ENMOD techniques have been used by US military against a foreign country or enemy of the US.

At this juncture in our history, US-NATO forces are deployed worldwide.

The US and its allies are waging war on Syria and Iraq and targeting Iran and North Korea. They are also threatening Russia and China.

The Pentagon has formulated the contours of a global military agenda, a “long war”, a war without borders.

A bit like the 'War on terror' or the equally never ending 'War on drugs', wars with no end are a cash cow for those who supply the weaponry and infrastructure, throw in the fact that reconstruction, disaster relief and humanitarian aid also have massive profit potential for those close to the corrupt politicians handing out the contracts and you have the perfect scenario for all involved - Power and Profit!

“Weather warfare” is the ultimate WMD with the potential of destabilizing an enemy’s ecosystem, destroying its agriculture, disabling communications networks. In other words, ENMOD techniques can undermine an entire national economy, impoverish millions of people and “kill a nation” without the deployment of troops and military hardware.

The following text, with the exception of some small edits was first published in September 2004.

The 2004 article was a follow-up on an earlier study by the author entitled Washington’s New World Order Weapons Have the Ability to Trigger Climate Change, Third World Resurgence, January 2001, http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO201A.html

While The Ecologist published in 2007 a shorter version of the above study, the issue of climatic manipulation for military use has largely been ignored by Environmentalists.

The URL of the original article is:

http://globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO409F.html.

This essay is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Rosalie Bertell, who, from the very outset revealed the diabolical nature of the HAARP project, as part of an integrated non-conventional weapons program:
Image Source

“It is related to fifty years of intensive and increasingly destructive programs to understand and control the upper atmosphere. … 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 amounts 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.“

Lasers, particle beams! Could this technology be the part of the real cause of forest fires in the US and massive explosions in China? Are nation states or secret groups within them vying for control of trade, natural resources or indeed ultimate control of the planet using both weather and the technology originally created to control it as the weapons!?

It is my sincere hope that this article will renew the debate on the dangers of weather warfare and will contribute to the broader objective of World peace which requires the relentless “disarming” of the US- NATO military apparatus.

Officially, the HAARP program has been closed down at its location in Alaska. The technology of weather modification shrouded in secrecy, nonetheless prevails.

Michel Chossudovsky, May 18 2015

He says plenty in his introduction to make your toes curl. However we need to dig in to really understand what this technology is really capable of to be able to form an opinion as to whether he's on the right track.

Lets get into the main article....
From here I will be cherry picking the salient points as the technical data can be a bit mind boggling.

Weather Warfare.

The significant expansion in America’s weather warfare arsenal, which is a priority of the Department of Defense is not a matter for debate or discussion. While, environmentalists blame the Bush administration for not having signed the Kyoto protocol, the issue of “weather warfare”, namely the manipulation of weather patterns for military use is never mentioned.
Image Source

The US Air Force has the capability of manipulating climate either for testing purposes or for outright military-intelligence use. These capabilities extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes. In recent years, large amounts of money have been allocated by the US Department of Defense to further developing and perfecting these capabilities.

Weather modification will become a part of domestic and international security and could be done unilaterally… It could have offensive and defensive applications and even be used for deterrence purposes. The ability to generate precipitation, fog, and storms on earth or to modify space weather, … and the production of artificial weather all are a part of an integrated set of technologies which can provide substantial increase in US, or degraded capability in an adversary, to achieve global awareness, reach, and power. (US Air Force, emphasis added. Air University of the US Air Force, AF 2025 Final Report,

http://www.au.af.mil/au/2025/

I see no reason why this scenario would be hypothesised if it wasn't understood to be possible. Those of you that are aware of and implications of the PNAC - Project for the New American Century document will no doubt understand the dangers of the neocon agenda being pushed since the mid 90's. This kind of technology would be a game changer for those wishing to push that insane agenda!

While there is no firm evidence that the US Air Force weather warfare facilities have been deliberately applied to modify weather patterns, one would expect that if these capabilities are being developed for military use, they would at least be the object of routine testing, much in the same way as the testing of new conventional and strategic weapons systems.

Needless to say, the subject matter is a scientific taboo. The possibility of climatic or environmental manipulations as part of a military and intelligence agenda, while tacitly acknowledged, is never considered as relevant. Military analysts are mute on the subject. Meteorologists are not investigating the matter, and environmentalists are strung on global warming and the Kyoto protocol.

Ironically, the Pentagon, while recognizing its ability to modify the World’s climate for military use, has joined the global warming consensus. In a major study, the Pentagon has analyzed in detail the implications of various global warming scenarios.

The author originally embedded a link to the study which has since been taken down!

The Pentagon document constitutes a convenient cover-up. Not a word is mentioned about its main weather warfare program: The High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) based in Gokona, Alaska –jointly managed by the US Air Force and the US Navy.

There are several mainstream explanations on weather and climate change, none of which fully explains, within their respective terms of reference, the highly unusual and erratic weather occurrences, not to mention the human toll and devastation, which have led to the destabilization of entire agricultural and eco-systems. Needless to say these explanations never address the issue of climate manipulation for military use.

This comes as no surprise to me, I gave up searching for explanations in the mainstream a long time ago when it was evident they had been compromised and were effectively a big corporation/governmental propaganda machine. Long gone are the days when the MSM undertake real investigative reporting so you're never going to see this information on the TV or in the newspapers unless it is to debunk and obfuscate the truth. Their job now is to push the BS man made climate change narrative to the masses!

Climatic Manipulation by the US Military: The HAARP Program.

The High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) based in Gokona, Alaska, has been in existence since 1992. It 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” [upper layer of the atmosphere]:

“[HAARP will be used] to induce a small, localized change in ionospheric temperature so that resulting physical reactions can be studied by other instruments located either at or close to the HAARP site”. (HAARP website)

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 by focusing a beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything — living and dead.”

Now that's a comforting thought!

Sounds to me like something that could inadvertently create a temporary warming of the planet if used enough or cause localised forest fires effectively microwaving trees from the inside out!

(for further details see Michel Chossudovsky, http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO201A.html )

Image Source

World renowned scientist Dr. Rosalie Bertell depicts HAARP as “a gigantic heater that can cause major disruptions in the ionosphere, creating not just holes, but long incisions in the protective layer that keeps deadly radiation from bombarding the planet.” (quoted in Chossudovsky, op cit.)

According to Richard Williams, a physicist and consultant to the David Sarnoff laboratory in Princeton HAARP constitutes “an irresponsible act of global vandalism.”

He and others fear a secret second stage where HAARP would...
“Beam much more energy into the ionosphere. That could produce a severe disruption of the upper atmosphere at one location that may produce effects that spread rapidly around the Earth for years.”

(Quoted in Scott Gilbert, Environmental Warfare and US Foreign Policy: The Ultimate Weapon of Mass Destruction,

http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/GIL401A.html

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.” (quoted in Chossudovsky, op cit).

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. (Ibid)

HAARP also has the ability of triggering blackouts and disrupting the electricity power system of entire regions.

An analysis of statements emanating from the US Air Force points to the unthinkable: the covert manipulation of weather patterns, communications systems and electric power as a weapon of global warfare, enabling the US to disrupt and dominate entire regions of the World.

Ring any bells? Remember the Northeast blackout of 2003? Any chance this was a result of this technology being used directly as a test or indirectly as a consequence of its use elsewhere on the planet? I don't know I'm just throwing it out there!

Weather Warfare: A Corporate Bonanza.

HAARP has been operational since the early 1990s. Its system of antennas at Gakona, Alaska, was initially based on a technology patented by Advanced Power Technologies Inc. (APTI), a subsidiary of Atlantic Ritchfield Corporation (ARCO).

The first phase of the HAARP Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI) was completed by APTI. The IRI system of antennas was first installed in 1992 by a subsidiary of British Aerospace Systems (BAES) using the APTI patent. The antennas beam into the outer-atmosphere using a set of wireless high frequency transmitters.

In 1994, ARCO sold its APTI subsidiary, including the patents and the second phase construction contract to E-Systems, a secretive high tech military outfit with links to the CIA (http://www.crystalinks.com/haarp.html ).

E-Systems specializes in the production of electronic warfare equipment, navigation and reconnaissance machinery, including “highly sophisticated spying devices”
Image Source

“[E-Systems] is one of the biggest intelligence contractors in the world, doing work for the CIA, defense intelligence organizations, and others. US$1.8 billion of their annual sales are to these organizations, with $800 million for black projects-projects so secret that even the United States Congress isn’t told how the money is being spent.
http://www.earthpulse.com/haarp/vandalism.html

No doubt the numbers involved are huge, and that is just what is reported, who knows how much is really being spent? The fact that the US Congress isn't told how it is spent means there are no real checks and balances. Just a cloak of secrecy labelled as 'black projects'.

Modern history has many examples of the unbelievable amount of money to be made by a select few due to the proliferation of never ending wars. Not just for those who supply weaponry, big oil, big Pharma, construction, logistics, private security all profit hugely from this modern economic business model that is ruining the world we live in.

“The company has outfitted such military projects as the Doomsday Plan (the system that allows the President to manage a nuclear war) and Operation Desert Storm.”

Princeton Review, http://www.princetonreview.com/cte/profiles/internshipGenInfo.asp?internshipID=998

With the purchase of APTI, E-Systems acquired the strategic weather warfare technology and patent rights, including Bernard J. Eastlund’s US Patent No: 4,686,605 entitled “Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth’s Atmosphere, Ionosphere and/or Magnetosphere”.

It is worth mentioning that the Eastlund /APTI patents were based on the research of Yugoslav scientist Nicola Tesla (many of whose ideas were stolen by US corporations).

Interesting to note that all of Nikola Tesla's research notes were stolen from his Manhattan apartment after his death on the 7th January 1943 before his family even arrived to identify his body!
I wouldn't be surprised if the blueprints for prototype technology Tesla had on the drawing board at the time of his death was stolen by government agents and divided up amongst the biggest US defence companies at the time.

See Scott Gilbert, Environmental Warfare and US Foreign Policy: The Ultimate Weapon of Mass Destruction.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/GIL401A.html )

Eastlund described this deadly technology as capable of.....

“causing…total disruption of communications over a very large portion of the Earth…missile or aircraft destruction, deflection or confusion… weather modification…”
http://www.wealth4freedom.com/truth/12/HAARP.htm

Not surprisingly, the patent had previously been sealed under a government secrecy order.Barely a year following the E-Systems purchase of APTI’s weather warfare technology, E-Systems was bought out by Raytheon, the fourth largest US military contractor. Through this money-spinning acquisition, Raytheon became the largest “defense electronics” firm in the World.Meanwhile, ARCO which had sold APTI to E-Systems, had itself been acquired by the BP-AMOCO oil consortium, thereby integrating the largest oil company in the World (BP).
Image Source

Raytheon through its E-Systems subsidiary now owns the patents used to develop the HAARP weather warfare facility at Gakona Alaska. Raytheon is also involved in other areas of weather research for military use, including the activities of its subsidiary in Antarctica, Raytheon Polar Services.

With the amount of money available to corporations involved in this project it is no surprise to me to see the companies involved, even 'big oil' seem so on be lining up up for a handout from the defence as well as the 'black budget'. Billions of dollars has a tendency to make politicians and corporations check their morality and humanity at the door!

Owning the Weather: Towards the Expanded Final Stage.

Bernard Eastlund in a 1997 interview described this antenna array in its Filled DP stage as the “the largest ionospheric heater ever built”.

This system of 48 antennas, however, while fully operational, was not according to Eastlund, powerful enough (in 1997) “to bring the ideas in his patents to fruition”:.

“But they’re getting up there”, he said. “This is a very powerful device. Especially if they go to the expanded stage.”
(quoted in Scott Gilbert, op cit,
see also http://www.emagazine.com/january-february_1997/0197currhaarp.html )
Image Source

This ‘final expanded stage’ envisioned by Eastlund, which will provide maximum capability to manipulate the World’s weather patterns, has now been reached.Under the Bush administration, the main partner of Raytheon (which owns the patents) in the construction and development stage of the HAARP antenna array, is British Aerospace Systems (BAES), which had been involved in the initial installation of the antenna array in the early 1990s.The multimillion dollar contract was granted by The Office of Naval Research to BAES in 2003, through its US subsidiary BAE Systems Advanced Technologies Inc. The contract was signed barely two months before the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq.

A year later, in April 2004, the final phase in the expansion of the HAARP facility was launched. (Dept of Defense, 19 April 2004). This phase consisted in equipping all the 180 antennas with high frequency transmitters. BAE Systems was awarded another lucrative contract, this time for $35 million.
Under its contract with BAE Systems Information and Electronic Warfare Systems in Washington, D.C., DRS is to manufacture and install “more than 60 Model D616G 10-Kilowatt Dual Transmitters” to be used with the HAARP system of antennas. (It is unclear from the company statements whether all the 180 antennas will be equipped with a transmitter, bringing the system up to full IRI capabilities).

Testing of HAARP Equipment (2003- 2004)

It is worth noting that the expansion of the antenna array (e.g. during 2003-2004) required, as part of the contracts reached with BAE Systems and its various subcontractors, the routine testing of the installed weather warfare equipment. An intermediate stage Limited IRI (LIRI), could be in operation by 2004, following the completion of the 180 antenna array under the Phazar contract and pending the final delivery of the remaining HF radio transmitters.

In this regard, a report published by the Russian parliament (Duma) in 2002, suggests that the US Military had plans to test its weather modification techniques at its Alaska facility, as well as at two other sites:

“The committees reported that the USA is planning to test three facilities of this kind. One of them is located on the military testing ground in Alaska and its full-scale tests are to begin in early 2003. The second one is in Greenland and the third one in Norway.

“When these facilities are launched into space from Norway, Alaska and Greenland, a closed contour will be created with a truly fantastic integral potential for influencing the near-Earth medium,” the State Duma said.

The USA plans to carry out large-scale scientific experiments under the HAARP program, and not controlled by the global community, will create weapons capable of breaking radio communication lines and equipment installed on spaceships and rockets, provoke serious accidents in electricity networks and in oil and gas pipelines and have a negative impact on the mental health of people populating entire regions, the deputies said. (Interfax News Agency, original Russian, BBC Monitoring, 8 August 2002, emphasis added)

I have no doubt the Russians were concerned however considering they were very often one step ahead of the west in development of weaponry and rocket tech during the period between the 1950's and 1970's I'm sure they had their own version of HAARP on the drawing board if not in actual operation when this report was made.

Whether this report by the Russian Duma on testing “starting in early 2003” is correct or not, the US administration must be confronted nationally and internationally, at the political and diplomatic levels, at the UN and the US Congress, by the international scientific community, by environmentalists and the antiwar movement. The future of humanity is threatened by the use of weather modification techniques.

I don't see any evidence that the US were ever confronted at any level by anyone other than those labelled as conspiracy theorists over the development and use of the HAARP facility, sadly it's more likely that individual governments and groups went off and developed their own versions in a new secret arms race to find a way to destroy each other either with weaponised weather or associated weapon like abilities emanating from the technology.

Moreover, to wage an effective campaign, it is essential that corroborating scientific investigation of the unusual weather occurrences observed in recent years (and particularly since early 2003) be undertaken. This investigation should be far-reaching, collecting relevant data, correlating specific weather occurrences to recorded antenna activity at the Alaska site as well as at the two other sites, etc.

The Full Size Ionospheric Research Instrument FIRI stage, described as “a maximum size of 180 antenna elements, arranged in 15 columns by 12 rows” is scheduled to be completed by mid-2006 (assuming the installation of the remaining dual transmitters), at which time the HAARP program will have reached its maximum FIRI capacity, meaning the ability to selectively modify, for military use, weather patterns anywhere in the World.

“The IRI is currently [June 2004] composed of 48 antenna elements and has a power capacity of 960,000 watts. When installed, the additional 132 transmitters will give HAARP a 3.6 mega-watt capacity [see Table 2 below]. The HAARP build-out is jointly funded by the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). (Business Wire, 10 June 2004)

This advanced stage of full capacity (FIRI) corresponds to what the US Air Force has called “Owning the Weather”:

US aerospace forces [will] ‘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.
(US Air Force, emphasis added. Air University of the US Air Force, AF 2025 Final Report, http://www.au.af.mil/au/2025/ )

Below is the final part of the article in which the author alleges certain destructive weather patterns and events may well have happeened as a result of the use of HAARP.

The list is a who's who of US enemies...

Weather Warfare against “Rogue States”

The unusual climatic occurrences in the US and Western Europe have been extensively documented.
However, what the news media has failed to underscore is that a number of unusual and dramatic climatic changes have occurred in recent years in countries which are identified as possible targets under the US Administration’s pre-emptive war doctrine.

Weather patterns in North Korea, for instance, have been marked since the mid-1990s by a succession of droughts, followed by floods. The result has been the destruction of an entire agricultural system. In Cuba, the pattern is very similar to that observed in North Korea. (see Table 3)

In Iraq, Iran and Syria, a devastating drought occurred in 1999. In Afghanistan, four years of drought in the years preceding the US led invasion in 2001, have led to the destruction of the peasant economy, leading to widespread famine.

While there is no proof that these weather occurrences are the result of climatic warfare, Phillips Geophysics Lab, which is a partner in the HAARP project provides a course for military personnel at the Hanscom Air Force Base in Maryland, on “Weather Modification Techniques”. The course outline explicitly contemplates the triggering of storms, hurricanes, etc. for military use.
(See his slide show at http://www.dtc.army.mil/tts/1997/proceed/abarnes/

Weather manipulation is the pre-emptive weapon par excellence. It can be directed against enemy countries or even “friendly nations”, without their knowledge. Weather warfare constitutes a covert form of pre-emptive war. The manipulation of climate can be used to destabilize an enemy’s economy, ecosystem and agriculture (e.g. North Korea or Cuba). Needless to say it can trigger havoc in financial and commodity markets and can potentially be used as an instrument of “insider trade” for financial gain. It has the ability of destabilizing a country’s institutions. Concurrently, the disruption in agriculture creates a greater dependency on food aid and imported grain staples from the US and other Western countries.

The Bush administration has stated that it reserves the right to attack these countries preemptively, with a view to ensuring the security of the American homeland.

Washington –as part of its nuclear posture review– has threatened several countries including China and Russia with pre-emptive nuclear strikes. One would assume that the same targeting of rogue states exists with regard to the use of weather modification techniques”.

While there is no evidence of the use of weather warfare against rogue states, the policy guidelines on “weather intervention techniques” have already been established and the technology is fully operational.

Table 3: Unusual Weather Occurrences: North Korea, Cuba, Afghanistan and Iraq.

North Korea.

Recurrent flooding and drought often in the same year has hit North Korea since 1995, 220,000 people died in the ensuing famine, according to Pyongyang’s own figures. U.S. figures place the number of deaths resulting from famine at 2 million.

The first major flooding occurred in 1995.

There were floods and drought in 1999. The serious water shortage resulting from the 1999 drought was conducive to the destruction of crops.

“The temperature of water in rice fields goes beyond 40 degrees and the tall rice plants fresh from the rice seedling beds are withering. In particular, nearly all after-crop maize seedlings and seeds are perishing,” it added.

In 2001, in June there was an extensive drought with rainfall just 10% of normal levels, which served to undermine agricultural crops. And then a few months later, in October, there were extensive floodings leading to the further destruction of rice harvests and a crisis situation in food distribution.

“Officials in Kangwon province – an area which already suffers food shortages – say the impact of the torrential rain and flooding has been devastating. The normal recorded rainfall for October should be around 20mm. But in the worst-affected areas 400mm (18 inches) of rain fell in just 12 hours. “It was the worst flooding we’ve had since records began in 1910,” said Kim Song Hwan, head of the government’s Flood Damage Rehabilitation Committee for the region.

Cuba.

For several years Cuba has been affected by recurrent droughts. In 1998, rainfall in Eastern Cuba was at its lowest level since 1941.

A United Nations team estimated 539,000 people, 280,000 of them farmers, were directly affected by reduced availability of food or reduced income through production losses. Some reported effects are: hunger in areas; a loss of up to 14% of the sugar cane crop planted last year and a reduction in this spring’s planted crops, since rains were not sufficient for some seeds to germinate (which will reduce next year’s crop); as much as 42% losses in food staples such as root vegetables, beans, bananas, and rice in the five eastern provinces; and livestock, poultry, and egg production losses

In 2003, a devastating drought hit the Western part of Cuba.

In 2004 May-June, the country is hit by the worst drought in its history.

“A severe drought enveloping eastern Cuba has eroded 40 percent of the farmland, starved thousands of heads of cattle and has close to 4 million people counting every drop of water they consume.” The drought is described as the worst in 40 years.

“The drought has robbed underground water levels of some 10 feet over the past 10 years, leaving over 5,000 wells across the province dry,” said Leandro Bermudez, a geologist and the second man at Cuba’s National Institute of Hydraulic Resources.

The cities are running out of water. According to the Independent, “Drought is bringing Cuba to its knees.

Unnoticed by the world, the longest dry period for decades has brought much of Cuba to its knees. Could this be the crisis that finally destroys Fidel’s revolution?

“All across central and eastern Cuba, farmers, ranchers, city dwellers and government officials are scrambling to deal with a punishing drought that began a decade ago and intensified in the last two years.

Although traditionally arid, the provinces of Holguin, Camaguey and Las Tunas hold some of Cuba’s finest pasture and farmland and have long been crucial to this communist nation’s dairy, beef and agricultural industries.
More than 12,500 cattle have died in Holguin alone in 2004 and milk production has fallen 20 percent. The price of beans, plantains, sweet potatoes and other staples has soared in private markets.

The drought has caused millions of dollars in losses and officials are spending millions more digging wells, building a water pipeline and taking other measures to try to ease the crisis – huge sums in an impoverished nation struggling through tough economic times and a battle with the United States.

Officials also have moved thousands of cattle to more fertile areas and are working furiously to finish a 32-mile pipeline that will draw water to Holguin city from Cuba’s largest river, the Cauto. The $5 million pipeline could be completed next month.

The above report date to September 2004, it was published before, the hurricanes hit the Cuban coastline followed by torrential rains.

Afghanistan and The former Soviet Republics of Central Asia.

The worst drought in Afghanistan history occurred in the three consecutive years prior to the onslaught of the US led invasion, from 1999 to 2001. The agricultural recovery of the 1990s, in the wake of the Soviet-Afghan war was brought to a standstill.

In the wake of the US led 2001 invasion, the United States supplied Afghanistan with genetically modified wheat and appropriate types of fertilizer to be used with the GM wheat, which was said to be high yield drought resistant. The donation of GM wheat, however, also led to destabilizing the small peasant economy because the GM wheat varieties could not reproduced locally. In 2002, famines which were barely reported by the media, swept the country.

Similar although less severe conditions prevailed in the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

Like Afghanistan, Tajikistan has had its infrastructure ruined by prolonged civil war with Muslim fundamentalists. Since then, the worst regional drought in 74 years has destroyed food crops over a large part of the nation, rendering almost half of the 6.2 million people in the country vulnerable to the threat of famine and disease, up from 3 million last year. About the only portion of the economy that has been unaffected is the drug trade. Tajikistan is the transit route for 65 to 85 percent of heroin smuggled out of Afghanistan, the world’s largest producer.

Triggered by the lowest rainfall (2001) in living memory, vast tracts of Iran, Uzbekistan, Pakistan and Tajikistan are being reduced to desert as the water table sinks, long-established wells dry up and herds of livestock perish.

The crisis appears to fulfill alarming climate change predictions suggesting that states along the old Silk Road will experience steeper rises in temperature than any other region on earth. By the end of the century it will be 5C hotter in an area which regularly sees the thermometer soar above 40C.

The study, published last year by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia, predicted that Asian countries from Kazakhstan to Saudi Arabia will warm up more than twice as much as others. “Several states,” the report added, “including Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Iran, [are facing] famine.”

In Tajikistan, the United Nations appealed for aid to avert disaster. “Substantial foreign aid is needed or else there will be a large-scale famine,” said Matthew Kahane, the UN’s humanitarian aid coordinator, speaking from the capital, Dushanbe.

“The country has had its lowest rainfall for 75 years. Families who survived last year by selling their cows and chickens now have no other means of coping. Some households have sold the glass out of their windows and the wooden beams from their roofs to raise money for food.”

Iraq.

In 1999, Iraq suffered its worst drought of the century, with the effect of triggering an even greater dependence on imported grain under the oil for food program. There was a drop of up to 70 percent in domestic yields of wheat, barley and other cereals, which served to further weaken the country’s economy, crippled by economic sanctions and the routine bombing by allied aircraft in the no-fly zones.

A similar (although less serious) situation prevailed in Syria and Iran, marked by significant declines in agricultural output.

All of this extreme weather affecting countries labelled 'rogue states' could well and indeed may well have been the result of naturally occurring events, the author after all doesn't provide any evidence that these were in fact the result of Weaponised Weather.

It is interesting though when you consider that it the US military along with their biggest contractors had planned for such events as well as appearing to have created the technology capable of manipulating the weather in such a way.

The Neocon led Bush administration did itself no favours in the post 9/11 years with its aggressive stance and threatening rhetoric towards any nation that wasn't seen to be 'towing the line', so it's no wonder that the author considered them capable of perpetrating attacks upon the climates of 'rogue states'.

This was a breakdown of just one article written by a man concerned about this IMO extremely powerful and dangerous technology, there are many others arguing for both sides, the MSM have even pitched in.

Here are a few examples, some are claiming HAARP is capable of much more than stated in this post and others are de-bunking everything, it's up to you to decide what you think....

Final Thoughts.

The debate hasn't stopped since HAARP was said to have been shut down in 2014. I personally don't believe that it has been shut down, the reason being so much time and money has been invested in the project, reading the statements and reports by the US Airforce it's evident they believe the technology is viable and would give the US the edge in future regional or global conflicts.

Russia's documented concerns regarding HAARP and the lack of international outrage following it becoming operational suggests to me that other countries or groups may well have decided to develop their own similar technology rather than complain about the US having it a complaint that would no doubt have fallen on deaf ears, to allow them to retaliate in kind should the need arise.

Take the example of the Atomic bomb, everyone is well aware of the horrendous consequences of their use but it didn't stop countries developing and stockpiling enough to destroy a hundred planets once the US military showed they were willing to use them in battle.

The very idea of Weather Manipulation is stupid, dangerous and morally corrupt in my opinion, even when attempted for good, Mother nature is a strange beast and if you mess with her she messes with you. Weaponising the weather is an abhorrent concept for so many reasons, not least the permanent damage that could be inflicted on our world.

Regarding the potential for super weapons being derived from the technology, I despair at those who think this is the best way to utilise the best of our scientific minds when we still have so many people around the world suffering from illness and poverty that could be helped by science. But I'm sure there is no profit in that so they spend vast amounts of time and billions of dollars coming up with new ways to kill each other! It's sickening.

I sincerely hope that the recent extreme weather events seen globally were in fact naturally occurring cycles for if they weren't the implications are horrendous. Governments waging an asymmetric war against an unseen enemy with no national borders or countries going head to head in battle using that kind of technology could very well do as much permanent damage to our beautiful planet as the nuclear war we have feared since 1945.
