 October 22, 2005—Government manipulation of weather for terror and 
 destruction is one pattern your local weatherman is surely not pointing out. 
 So let me help with the forecast, past, present and long-range. 
 Starting on December 26, 2004, you had the Indian Ocean earthquake and 
 tsunami, an undersea earthquake that generated a tsunami that killed 
 approximately 275,000 people. As the linked article reports, the magnitude 
 of the Indian Ocean quake now stands at 9.15, making it one of the most 
 deadly and frightening in history. From the third paragraph, come some 
 hair-raising facts . . . 
 In May, scientists reported that the earthquake itself lasted nearly ten 
 minutes when most major earthquakes last no more than a few seconds; it 
 caused the entire planet to vibrate at least a few centimetres. It also 
 triggered earthquakes elsewhere, as far away as Alaska. 
 The section on "Tectonic Plates" gives two more earth-shaking pieces of 
 information . . .  
  . . . Seismographic and acoustic data indicate that the first phase 
 involved the formation of a rupture about . . . 250 mi . . . long and . . . 
 60 mi wide, located . . . 19 mi . . . beneath the sea bed - the longest 
 known rupture ever known to have been caused by an earthquake (italics mine) 
 . . .  
 As well as the sideways movement between the plates, the sea bed is 
 estimated to have risen by several metres, displacing an estimated . . . 
 7 cu mi . . . of water and triggering devastating tsunami waves. The waves 
 did not originate from a point source, as mistakenly depicted in some 
 illustrations of their spread, but radiated outwards along the entire . . . 
 750 mi . . . length of the rupture. This greatly increased the geographical 
 area over which the waves were observed, reaching as far as Mexico, Chile 
 and the Arctic. The raising of the sea bed significantly reduced the 
 capacity of the Indian Ocean, producing a permanent rise in the global sea 
 level by an estimated 0.1 mm. 
 Stated more simply, these facts point to an extraordinary amount of energy 
 expended to produce extraordinary events, including a permanent rise in sea 
 level. From the "Power of the earthquake" section, there are more unsettling 
 statistics . . .  
 The total energy released by the earthquake in the Indian Ocean . . . is 
 equivalent to 100 gigatons of TNT, or about as much energy as is used in the 
 United States in 6 months. It is estimated to have resulted in an 
 oscillation of the Earth's surface of about 20–30 cm (8 to 12 in), 
 equivalent to the effect of the tidal forces caused by the Sun and Moon. The 
 shock waves of the earthquake were felt across the planet; as far away as 
 Oklahoma, vertical movements of 3 mm (0.12 in) were recorded. The entire 
 Earth's surface is estimated to have moved vertically by up to 1 cm (italics 
 mine). 
  . . . It also caused the Earth to minutely "wobble" on its axis by up to 
 2.5 cm (1 in) . . . or perhaps by up to 5 or 6 cm (2.0 to 2.4 in). . . . 
 Simply stated, here we have an event that expends so much energy it 
 literally shortens the day, causes the earth to wobble and its surface to 
 raise. 
 What's more, on March 28, we have another earthquake in the area of Northern 
 Sumatra and Indonesia. According to the National Earthquake Information 
 Center, U.S. Geological Survey, it weighs in at 8.7. Add to that, a total of 
 six Major Earthquakes around the World in 2005 , all over a magnitude of 
 7.0, not counting the one in Islamabad in Pakistan, which we'll deal with in 
 a moment.  
 Additionally, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution issues a news release 
 last Jan. 13. titled "Major Caribbean Earthquakes and Tsunamis a Real 
 Risk—Events rare, but scientists call for public awareness, warning system" 
 . . . Paragraphs two tells us . . . 
 In a new study published December 24, 2004 in the Journal of Geophysical 
 Research from the American Geophysical Union, geologists Uri ten Brink of 
 the U.S. Geological Survey in Woods Hole and Jian Lin of the Woods Hole 
 Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) report a heightened earthquake risk of the 
 Septentrional fault zone, which cuts through the highly populated region of 
 the Cibao valley in the Dominican Republic. In addition, they caution, the 
 geologically active offshore Puerto Rico and Hispaniola trenches are capable 
 of producing earthquakes of magnitude 7.5 and higher. The Indonesian 
 earthquake on December 26, which generated a tsunami that killed (to date), 
 an estimated 150,000 people, came from a fault of similar structure, but was 
 a magnitude 9.0, much larger than the recorded quakes near the Puerto Rico 
 Trench. 
 So, around the world, we seem to be having a wave of major earthquakes. In 
 fact, let's return to Islamabad's catastrophe, as reported in the New York 
 Times, Pakistan Quake Rocks South Asia; Over 18,000 Killed. 
 We find that the quake centered in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Pakistan, 
 emitting tremors all across South Asia, actually killing more than 25,000 
 people. The quake weighed in at 7.6. Its epicenter, some 60 miles north of 
 Pakistani's capital, caused some 20 "significant aftershocks" measuring 
 between 5 and 6.2 magnitude. The tremors went as far east as New Delhi, the 
 Indian capital, west to Kabul, Afghanistan's capital, the "biggest shock and 
 awe to strike the country in a century," besides of course the US Military, 
 and in some ways even more potent. 
 That brings me to my central concern of government involvement. That 
 involvement covers also the recent spate of hurricanes, including the most 
 disastrous Katrina, which has now drowned an entire American city, which 
 itself looks like one of those ravaged third world cities which are part of 
 or are near political hotspots . . . 
 Hurricane Katrina was the eleventh named tropical storm, fourth hurricane, 
 third major hurricane, and first Category 5 hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic 
 hurricane season. It first made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane just 
 north of Miami, Florida on August 25, 2005, then again on August 29 along 
 the Central Gulf Coast near New Orleans, Louisiana, as a Category 4 storm. 
 Katrina resulted in breaches of the levee system that protected New Orleans 
 from Lake Pontchartrain, and most of the city was subsequently flooded by 
 the lake's waters. This and other major damage to the coastal regions of 
 Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama made Katrina the most destructive and 
 costliest natural disaster in the history of the United States. 
 I suppose one could simply say Katrina was a matter of criminal negligence 
 or an advanced case of political sleep-walking. Yet I include it in this 
 larger picture of world environmental terror because terror is the feeling 
 it instilled, especially given the human, physical and economic destruction. 
 I submit as well the Guatemala Storm that swept through Central America on 
 October 9, reported in the LA Times. Alex Renderos and Reed Johnson write . 
 . .  
 GUATEMALA CITY—Rescue workers pulled bodies Saturday from Guatemalan 
 villages devastated by mudslides, and other volunteers used hand tools, 
 machetes and their bare hands to dig for more victims as the aftermath of 
 Hurricane Stan continued to wreak havoc across northern Central America. 
 Guatemalan officials said 508 people had been killed and 337 others were 
 missing in the country as a result of flooding and mudslides caused by the 
 hurricane that roared across the region last week. More than 100 other 
 deaths have been reported in Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and 
 Costa Rica. 
 If all these examples still seem like a matter of happenstance, let me offer 
 up this quote from Michel Chossudovsky in his Second Edition of America's 
 "War on Terrorism," published by Global Research, 2005, page 95 . . . 
 "Since September 11, 2001, billions of dollars have been channeled towards 
 developing new advanced weapons systems . . . 
 "The Strategic Defense Initiative ('Star Wars') not only includes the 
 controversial "Missile Shield" . . . [but] instruments of weather and 
 climatic warfare under the High Altitude Research Program (HAARP). The 
 latter has the ability of destabilizing entire national economies through 
 climatic manipulations, without the knowledge of the enemy, at minimal cost 
 and without engaging military personnel and equipment as in a conventional 
 war." 
 Chossudovsky is not alone in this sobering statement of fact. 
 US Weapons of Meteorological Mass Destruction 
 Dan Eden in an article, titled Weapons of Mass Destruction, talked about the 
 HAARP facility located in Gakuna, Alaska, where patents bought from inventor 
 Dr. Bernard Eastlund by huge defense contractor Raytheon are being 
 experimented with, and used conceivably against world populations. 
 The HAARP Program is a US Air Force, Navy and University of Alaska funded 
 investigation to "understand, simulate and control ionospheric processes 
 that might alter the performance of communication and surveillance systems" 
 as well as weather systems and those which actually can modify human 
 behavior. The HAARP program was started in 1993 for a proposed twenty year 
 series of experiments. Two paragraphs from Eden's article give you an idea 
 of the forces being played with . . . 
 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 . 
 . .  
 [They have the] " . . . 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 . . ." 
 A critical summary on Harp.Net of Dr. Nick Begich and Jeane Manning's book, 
 Angel“s Don“t Play This HAARP tells us, "Eastlund's patents were originally 
 controlled by ARCO Power Technologies Incorporated (APTI), a subsidiary of 
 Atlantic Richfield Company, one of the biggest oil companies in the world. 
 APTI was the contractor that built the HAARP facility. ARCO sold this 
 subsidiary, the patents and the second phase construction contract to 
 E-Systems in June 1994. 
 "E-Systems is one of the biggest intelligence contractors in the world–doing 
 work for the CIA, defense intelligence organizations and others. And 1.8 
 billion of their annual sales are to these organizations, with 0 million 
 for black projects–projects so secret that even the United States Congress 
 isn't told how the money is being spent. 
 "E-Systems was bought out by Raytheon, again one of the largest defense 
 contractors in the world. . . . The twelve patents . . . are the backbone of 
 the HAARP project and are now buried among thousands of others held in the 
 name of Raytheon . . ." 
 A statement I find most relevant in this HAARP report is . . . 
 Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper atmosphere 
 wind patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles 
 which will act as a lens or focusing device. 
  . . . Molecular modifications of the atmosphere can take place so that . . 
 . environmental effects can be achieved. Besides actually changing the 
 molecular composition of an atmospheric region, a particular molecule or 
 molecules can be chosen for increased presence. For example, ozone, 
 nitrogen, etc., concentrations in the atmosphere could be artificially 
 increased. 
 Remembering that this work began in 1994, consider these statements from the 
 article . . .  
 "Begich and Manning brought to light government documents indicating that 
 the military has weather-control technology. When HAARP is eventually built 
 to its full power level, it could create weather effects over entire 
 hemispheres. If one government experiments with the world's weather 
 patterns, what is done in one place will impact everyone else on the planet. 
 Angels Don't Play This HAARP explains a principle behind some of Nikola 
 Tesla's inventions—resonance—which affect planetary systems." 
 Nikola Tesla (1865?1943), the so called "mad genius" or "wild man" of 
 electronics was convinced he could develop enough electric power "to split 
 the earth like an apple." Experimenting for a wealthy employer in the 
 electric business in Colorado Springs, Tesla managed to black out the entire 
 city and set the power generator on fire. The roar was heard for more than 
 ten miles. Yet he moved on to bigger and more successful ideas, like 
 missiles, particle beam weaponry, satellites, nuclear fission, and robots at 
 the turn of the 20th century. 
 Dr. Bernard Eastland based his work on Tesla's principles as Begich and 
 Manning discovered. Their observations are related in the Angels' article, 
 in the section called "Weather Control" . . . 
 Avalanches of energy dislodged by such radio waves could hit us hard. Their 
 work suggests that technicians could control global weather by sending 
 relatively small 'signals' into the Van Allen belts (radiation belts around 
 Earth). Thus Tesla's resonance effects can control enormous energies by tiny 
 triggering signals. 
 The Begich/ Manning book asks whether that knowledge will be used by 
 war-oriented or biosphere-oriented scientists. 
 The military has had about twenty years to work on weather warfare methods, 
 which it euphemistically calls weather modification. For example, rainmaking 
 technology was taken for a few test rides in Vietnam. The U.S. Department of 
 Defense sampled lightning and hurricane manipulation studies in Project 
 Skyfire and Project Stormfury. And they looked at some complicated 
 technologies that would give big effects. 
 Angels Don't Play This HAARP cites an expert who says the military studied 
 both lasers and chemicals which they figured could damage the ozone layer 
 over an enemy. Looking at ways to cause earthquakes, as well as to detect 
 them, was part of the project named Prime Argus, decades ago. The money for 
 that came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, now 
 under the acronym ARPA.) In 1994 the Air Force revealed its Spacecast 2020 
 master plan which includes weather control. Scientists have experimented 
 with weather control since the 1940's, but Spacecast 2020 noted that "using 
 environmental modification techniques to destroy, damage or injure another 
 state are prohibited." Having said that, the Air Force claimed that advances 
 in technology "compels a reexamination of this sensitive and potentially 
 risky topic."  
 Lest you think only Chossudovsky, Eden or Begich and Manning are concerned 
 with HAARP and weather control, consider scientist Dr. Rosalie Bertell, 
 writing in her Background of the HAARP Project: 
 Poker Flat Rocket Launch (1968 to Present) 
 The Poker Flat Research Range is located about 50 km North of Fairbanks, 
 Alaska, and it was established in 1968. It is operated by the Geophysical 
 Institute with the University of Alaska Fairbanks, under NASA contract. 
 About 250 major rocket launches have taken place from this site, and in 
 1994, a 16-meter long rocket was launched to help NASA "understand chemical 
 reactions in the atmosphere associated with global climate change." 
 Similar experiments, but using Chemical Release Modules (CRM), have been 
 launched from Churchill, Manitoba. In 1980, Brian Whelan's "Project 
 Waterhole" disrupted an aurora borealis, bringing it to a temporary halt. In 
 February 1983, the chemical released into the ionosphere caused an aurora 
 borealis over Churchill. In March 1989, two Black Brant X's and two Nike 
 Orion rockets were launched over Canada, releasing barium at high altitudes 
 and creating artificial clouds. These Churchill artificial clouds were 
 observed from as far away as Los Alamos, New Mexico. 
 If that sounds like a future you don't want on your doorstep today, consider 
 the opening paragraphs of Dr. Nick Begich's Star Wars, Star Trek and Killing 
 Politely, linked here in full . . . 
 Over the last several years Earthpulse has been investigating the latest 
 developments in technology. We explore subjects related to improving the 
 human condition and expose projects which we believe are risky and 
 unnecessary. This essay is about some of the science being developed and 
 contemplated by military planners and others which could profoundly affect 
 our lives. The intent of this essay is to focus discussion on these new 
 systems by bringing them into the light of day. 
 Is it possible to trigger earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or weather changes 
 by man-made activities? Is it possible to create and direct balls of energy 
 at lightning speeds, to destroy an enemy? Is it possible to manipulate the 
 behavior, and even the memories, of people using specialized technologies? 
 The United States military and others believe that this is the case. Many of 
 these systems are well on their way to being used in the battlefield. 
 If you believe, as I and others do, that we've gone past the realm of 
 probability into the realm of a dangerous reality, especially given the 
 frequency of catastrophic events, isn't it time to send our own beam of 
 energy to the US government, and demand a full investigation into the 
 activities of HAARP, in particular the manipulation of hurricanes and 
 earthquakes? This kind of activity is another form of terror we live with, 
 because it seems like it can strike anywhere, anytime, in the guise of 
 natural event. 
 Perhaps it is just Mother Nature kicking up her heels, perhaps not. In 
 either case, a return to reality is called for in these surreal days. The 
 simple presence of HAARP is a form of psychological terror, threatening not 
 just the weather, but the well-being of man and survival of the planet. And 
 that's something you'll never hear from your media weatherman.
