Un-Fucking-Believable!

Now we're creating killer quakes around the world?
Damn, Y'all be watching far too much Sci-Fi channel.

So, when are we gonna slice California off our map?
Buy land in Nevada because it will soon be a thriving Beach Front development.

I get it, the Bush Admin. isn't smart enough to find a Terrorist like Bin Laden, but we can control natural disasters to distract people from a war?

I want what you guys are taking, sounds like some good drugs to me.

[Nickdfresh]

This isn't HAARP Phil! If we wanted to kill tens of thousands of people Phil, I am inclined to believe that a nuclear weapon would "go off" somewhere, while I do believe in a top secret program called HAARP (heard about it on Art Bell's weekend Coast to Coast AM radio program), I don't belive it had anything to do with this.

And we gained what by killing Sri Lankans?

[Little_Skittles]

have you looked at some of the photos ? most of those people are muslims hello did anybody ever think that maybe farfetched as it may seem, that our military is the equivalent of osama bin laden? there's a quote that says it's no wonder people hate america they are what they say they're against.

Sri Lanka's mostly Buddhist, why would we kill them? They have nothing to do with our failed Iraq policy not the War on Terror, in fact they have fought Muslim extremists (The Tamils). Few muslims were killed and you really need to stop getting your information from Phil.

Funny how the UN, Communists/Globalists, and Sammy Hagar Martians are taking over America, yet it never seems to be taken over. It's always vague, non-descript innuendo. Never hard evidence nor actual information.

Here's some more actual information on Sri Lanka:

[Nickdfresh]

By the way, if the U.S. Government can control weather, why did four hurricanes hit Florida this year? Just asking.

[DEMON CUNT]

Tests!

[DLR'sCock]

How fucking kool would it be to control the natural forces of the Earth?????? That's like fucking Dr. Evil kinda shit, he would be all over this shite!!!!! hmmmmmmmmm

[Little_Skittles]

who said anything about me getting my information from philly boy? no all he told me to do was go look it up so i typed in haarp on my pc would you like to read the article? and like DC said tests that's what florida is heck if you can control the weather with a piece of this equipment you would. This makes sense nickdfresh if i didn't i wouldn't be buying into it.

[Nickdfresh]

Uhhh...NO! This will not cause a 8.9 magnitude earthquake.

Some Frequently Asked Questions about HAARP


General Questions about HAARP
What is HAARP?
HAARP stands for The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. The goal of this program is to further advance our knowledge of the physical and electrical properties of the Earth's ionosphere which can affect our military and civilian communication and navigation systems. The HAARP ionospheric research observatory in Gakona will be used for these studies.
Who is building the HAARP facility?
The HAARP program is jointly managed by the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Office of Naval Research. The facility is being constructed by commercial contractors through a contract with ONR.
When did the HAARP program start?
The HAARP program began in 1990.
Where is the HAARP facility located?
The HAARP Observatory is located approximately 8 miles north of Gakona, Alaska.
What are the geographic coordinates of the observatory?
The facility is located at:
62 deg 23.5 min North Latitude
145 deg 8.8 min West Longitude

Why was Alaska chosen for HAARP?
An Alaskan site was required since Alaska is the only state that is in the auroral region. In fact, the site chosen for HAARP is ideal on two accounts:
1. The Alaskan ionosphere over HAARP can be characterized as mid-latitude, auroral or polar depending on how active the sun is at any given time and day. This gives a very wide variety of ionospheric conditions to study.

2. The HAARP research facility consists of two major subsystems: (1) the HF transmitter, and (2) the other scientific, observational instruments that have been designed and built and which are also being installed at the site. The two subsystems are equal in research importance. The scientific observation instruments require a quiet electromagnetic location. Such quiet locations are only found away from cities and built up areas. This is the reason, for example, that optical telescopes are built on remote mountaintops: to avoid the optical "noise" associated with big cities.

Does the facility operate continuously?
Scientific instruments at the ionospheric observatory operate continuously to monitor the natural geomagnetic environment. Data collected by these instruments is archived and made available in chart format in real time on our web site.
The HF Transmitter at the HAARP facility is used infrequently and is primarily operated to support research campaigns where groups of scientists collaborate to conduct interactive research.

Can I visit HAARP?
The HAARP Observatory is a facility that is still under development and there is insufficient on-site staff to allow routine tours of the facility. Entry to the facility is normally restricted to those having a need to conduct business at the facility.
We recognize that there is great interest in the scientific work of the facility and, as a result, we hold an annual open house, generally of two days duration, at which any and all are invited to visit the site and take photographs of the buildings and instruments located there. Several scientists are usually present at these open houses so that visitors can talk directly with those who will eventually use the observatory. Open houses have been held since 1995 and have proven to be a popular event.

How can I find out about the Open Houses?
Open Houses are generally held at the end of the summer season and the dates and times are announced in advance on the HAARP Home Page.
Is there a HAARP visitor's center?
The Observatory is still being developed and there is currently no visitor's center.
Is HAARP a classified project?
The HAARP program is completely unclassified. There are no classified documents pertaining to HAARP. The Environmental Impact Process (EIP) documents have always been, are now, and will always be completely descriptive of the program in its entirety. The EIP documents are a matter of public record.
Questions about the research
Why is ionospheric research important?
The fundamental goal of research conducted at HAARP is knowledge; to explore and to understand natural phenomena occurring in the Earth's ionosphere and near-space environment. Information derived from this research will have major value in the design of future communication and navigation systems for both military and civilian use.
What kind of research will be conducted at the HAARP facility?
The research to be conducted at HAARP falls into two broad categories: 1. The study of basic natural processes that occur in the ionosphere under the natural but much stronger influence of solar interaction. 2. The study of how the natural ionosphere affects radio signals with the goal of developing techniques that may be available for mitigating these effects to improve the reliability and/or the performance of communication and navigation systems.
Where can I read out about the research that is conducted at the HAARP Observatory?
Research conducted at the HAARP Observatory is generally published in peer-reviewed scientific journals such as the Journal of Geophysical Research, and Radio Science. As the facility matures, and relevant research results become available, we intend to provide synopsized articles within the research section of the web site as well.
Who are the people that conduct research at HAARP?
The scientists who conduct research at HAARP are university physicists, their students, government scientists and scientists from commercial firms having an interest in communication and radio science theory and applications.
What Universities have participated in the HAARP program?
Several universities have played a major role in HAARP from its inception to the present time including the University of Alaska, Penn State University (ARL), Boston College, UCLA, Clemson University, Dartmouth University, Cornell University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Maryland, University of Massachusetts, MIT, Polytechnic University, Stanford University, and the University of Tulsa. The development of the program objectives and initial design concept, selection of the prime contractor, development of diagnostic equipment, and the planning of research campaigns have all been heavily dependent on university involvement. Of the eighteen diagnostic instruments associated with HAARP, eight have been produced by universities and three of the instruments currently deployed at the HAARP site are university developed and operated. University students and professors make up the majority of attendees at the annual Ionospheric Interactions Workshop where progress in ionospheric research is reported.
Does HAARP have a community outreach program?
To provide support to the local community, the University of Alaska is working with HAARP to develop a cooperative science program with the Glennallen High School, the Prince William Sound Community College and other schools in the Copper River Valley area.
Questions about the HF Transmitter and Antenna
How frequently is the HF transmitter used?
The HF Transmitter is used primarily during research campaigns to support interactive study of the ionosphere. A typical research period may last two or three weeks and up to four such campaigns may occur in a given year.
How large will the HAARP antenna array be when it is complete?
When it is completed, the HAARP antenna array will consist of 180 antennas on a total land area of about 33 acres. The final facility will have a total transmitter power of about 3,600 kilowatts. This is the last phase of the project and is the maximum size and maximum power level approved (and the maximum size and maximum power level that can be constructed) in accordance with the Environmental Impact Process.

What is the current development status of the HAARP HF Transmitter?
Currently, the HF Transmitter can produce 960 kilowatts of power and has an operational frequency range of 2.8-8.2 MHz. There are 48 antennas in the antenna array and all are active.

Are there any other phases beyond those described in the EIS?
No.
How does HAARP compare with other high power facilities?
The HAARP HF transmitter and antenna array is similar in size to several other high power transmitters operating in the High Frequency range.

How much power will be required to operate the transmitter?
When the HAARP facility is completed, the transmitter will be able to produce approximately 3.6 million Watts of radio frequency power. However, the HAARP transmitters have been designed to operate very linearly so that they will not produce radio interference to other users of the radio spectrum. To achieve that degree of linearity, the transmitters operate at an efficiency of only about 45 %. For every 100 Watts of input power 45 Watts of Radio Frequency power is generated and the rest is lost in the transmitter cabinet as heat. (In a similar manner, a 75 Watt light bulb gets quite hot while it's producing the light you actually see.) In addition, the generators must provide power for other equipment used by the transmitters including the cooling system and low level amplifier stages. As a result, approximately 10 million Watts of prime power will be required to operate the facility when it is completed.
How much power does HAARP take from the power grid?
HAARP draws only housekeeping power, used for lighting, heating, and computers, from the local power grid. When completed, this housekeeping power will be approximately 1.5 MW, depending on season. This is about the amount of power used by a low-rise city business building.
The high frequency transmitters used in the HAARP IRI will obtain their power from conventional diesel generators that will be located on-site. These generators are planned as the source of prime power for all future stages of development up to and including the completed facility as described in the EIS.


Safety and environmental questions
Was an environmental impact study conducted on HAARP?
An Environmental Impact Study was conducted during 1992-93 in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
What impacts did the study find?
The study concluded, "All of the significant environmental impacts associated with [building and operating the HAARP Observatory at Gakona] can be mitigated to an acceptable level. Some insignificant potential impacts, such as lost habitat, socioeconomic, and wildlife impacts, may not be mitigated."
Is HAARP capable of affecting the weather?
The HAARP facility will not affect the weather. Transmitted energy in the frequency ranges that will be used by HAARP is subject to negligible absorption in either the troposphere or the stratosphere - the two levels of the atmosphere that produce the earth's weather. Electromagnetic interactions only occur in the near-vacuum of the rarefied region above about 70 km known as the ionosphere.
The ionosphere is created and continuously replenished as the sun's radiation interacts with the highest levels of the Earth's atmosphere. The downward coupling from the ionosphere to the stratosphere/troposphere is extremely weak, and no association between natural ionospheric variability and surface weather and climate has been found, even at the extraordinarily high levels of ionospheric turbulence that the sun can produce during a geomagnetic storm. If the ionospheric storms caused by the sun itself don't affect the surface weather, there is no chance that HAARP can do so either.


How long do the effects of ionospheric heating last?
Since the ionosphere is, inherently, a turbulent medium that is being both "stirred up" and renewed by the sun, artificially induced effects are quickly obliterated. Depending on the height within the ionosphere where the effect is originally produced, these effects are no longer detectable after times ranging from less than a second to ten minutes.
A good analogy to this process is dropping a stone into a fast moving stream. The ripples caused by the stone are very quickly lost in the rapidly moving water and, a little farther down the stream, are completely undetectable. A University of Alaska, Geophysical Institute scientist has compared HAARP to an "immersion heater in the Yukon River."

Can HAARP create a hole in the ionosphere?
No. Any effects produced by HAARP are miniscule compared with the natural day-night variations that occur in the ionosphere. Several ionospheric layers completely disappear naturally over a whole hemisphere during the evening hours. HAARP can't come close to producing this effect, even in the limited region directly over the site.

Can HAARP create an artificial aurora?
The natural aurora is created when very high energy particles emitted by the sun, reach the Earth's vicinity, are swept toward the Earth's magnetic poles, and collide with gas molecules existing in the upper atmosphere. The energy involved in this process is enormous but is entirely natural and it has been a normal event throughout Earth's history.
HAARP is so much weaker than these naturally occurring processes that it is completely incapable of producing any optical effects that can be seen without using very sensitive telescopes.

What effect will HAARP have on the Earth's magnetic field?
Random variations in the Earth's magnetic field occur all the time, day in and day out. These variations are like the radio noise heard in a radio receiver and are purely natural. The full size HAARP facility will eventually be able induce a variation in the Earth's field that is about equal to the low level, random variations that occur naturally.
The HAARP IRI becomes useless during a geomagnetic storm. During these common solar induced events, the natural variations reach a level that is more than 10,000 times stronger than any variation that HAARP could produce.

The Earth's static magnetic field is, in turn, more than 1,000 times stronger than the variations that occur during a magnetic storm and more than 10,000,000 times stronger than the variations that HAARP could produce.

Why use HAARP if it has such a weak effect?
The HAARP facility consists of a full set of sophisticated scientific instruments. The weak ionospheric effects that HAARP is capable of producing are useful because their exact characteristics (such as their frequency and phase) are known with great precision and the instruments used to observe them can be synchronized to detect them, even in the presence of considerably stronger natural ionospheric variations.
Are there any health hazards associated with fields produced by HAARP?
The health and safety of the public (and of the scientific researchers who will be present at the site) has been a primary focus in the design of the HAARP HF transmitter and antenna array. There are no locations on-site or off-site where the E-M fields exceed safety standards for RFR exposure as defined by IEEE/ANSI C95.1-1992 and NCRP Report No 86. In fact, the E-M fields measured at the closest public access to the site are lower than those existing in many urban environments.

You mention in your graph and accompanying text that the E-M radiation at the closest public point is 10,000 times below the maximum allowed by the standard. What is the field strength on the site itself?
The only points on the site that approach the EM safety standard are close to or directly under the antenna array itself. Numerous computer simulations, confirmed with measurements during tests show that the highest fields are actually near the edge of the ground screen, about 60 - 80 feet away from the nearest antenna element. A fence around the antenna gravel pad, about 60 feet farther out than the ground screen (about 150 feet away from the antennas all around), encloses the limited area under the antennas where fields might exceed the standard.
Outside the fenced antenna pad, the fields drop off very rapidly, and are always below the standard. The trailers housing the temporary operations center are about 150 feet from the antenna fence and the E-M fields there are around 500 times weaker than the safety standard. The closest public access point to the facility at the Tok Highway is about 3,000 feet from the antenna fence and the field at this point has decreased to 10,000 times below the safety standard.

Will HAARP be used to generate ELF?
While the HAARP facility does not transmit signals in the ELF frequency range, previous experience at other facilities has shown that it is possible to generate a small but useful ELF signal through ionospheric heating. This field, which is produced in the ionosphere at around 100 km altitude, will be more than eleven million times weaker (smaller) than the Earth's background field and about one million times weaker (smaller) than the level where researchers have reported biological effects in the literature. The field is so weak, in fact, that sophisticated instruments must be used to observe it, yet it is still quite useful for many applications.

What about radio frequency interference?
Analyses conducted during the environmental impact process suggest that radio frequency interference could occur for receiver systems that operate in the areas surrounding Gakona. However, other facilities using transmitters and supporting diagnostic instruments similar to HAARP, have achieved compatibility with other users of the radio frequency environment. The government is committed to achieve compatibility with other users of the electromagnetic spectrum and an electromagnetic compatibility program has been established to assure this goal is achieved.
The EIS Record of Decision required HAARP to establish a Radio Frequency Advisory Committee. This committee, with representatives from organizations that are users of the HF spectrum now meets regularly to inform the groups of progress at the facility and to receive their input and suggestions.


Questions about facility operations
Do you publish a transmitting schedule by frequency and time?
Research activities generally require a specific ionospheric condition to pre-exist before any given experiment can begin. For example, one experiment may require that the D-layer be absent. The D-layer normally disappears after local sunset but the timing may vary from one day to the next depending on solar activity.
HAARP is required to operate on a "Not-to-Interfere-Basis" (NIB). This means that the operating frequency must be selected carefully so as not to disrupt on-going communication activities. In other words, a candidate frequency may have to be re-chosen if the frequency is already being used by someone else.

Also, the optimum frequency for any given experiment changes as the ionosphere undergoes its natural variation throughout the day and this is continually monitored using some of the observational instruments at the site. As a result, it will be virtually impossible to know in advance the exact time or frequency for any day's operation.

I hear a strong interfering signal in the ham bands. Is this HAARP?
HAARP is not authorized to operate in the Ham bands and the transmitter has been "locked out" of those frequencies. In addition, because of the harmonic relationship of the amateur 40 and 80 meter bands, it is not possible for a harmonic of the HAARP transmitter to fall in those bands.
How can I report suspected interference from the HAARP HF Transmitter?
Suspected interference should be reported to the Federal Communications Commission. HAARP maintains an interference reporting "hotline" at the phone number (907) 822-5497. This line is always answered during HF Transmitter operations. At all other times, a recording indicates that the transmitter is not in use.
Can HAARP be used for military purposes?
HAARP is not designed to be an operational system for military purposes. The HAARP specifications were developed by a consortium of universities to meet the requirements for a world-class research facility and an expanded group of universities are playing a major role in the design of future research efforts.
The HAARP facility will be used for basic and applied research related to the study of the Earth's ionosphere. Because the DoD operates numerous communication and navigation systems whose signals either depend on reflection from the ionosphere or must pass through the ionosphere to satellites, there is obvious DoD interest in understanding the ionosphere's effect on these systems to improve their reliability and performance. Greater understanding of the physics of the ionosphere are expected to result in improvements to commercial applications, such as GPS and LEO communication satellites whose performance is often significantly affected by random ionospheric variations.

Administratively, HAARP is restricted to operate only on a "not-to-interfere-basis" (NIB) by the NTIA and is categorized as an experimental station in the NTIA spectrum certification document.

Will HAARP be operated remotely?
The HAARP facility cannot be operated without personnel being physically present at the facility to operate the diesel generator, to operate and monitor the transmitter control system and to monitor the aircraft alert radar and other safety systems.

[Little_Skittles]

HAARP stands for High Frequency Active Aural Research Project, at joint effort of the Air Force and the navy at an isolated base near Gakona, Alaska.

It uses 72 foot tall antennas---360 of them---spread out over 4 acres.

HAARP zaps the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable electromagnetic beam. It is an advanced model of an 'ionospheric heater'. (The ionosphere is the electrically-charged sphere surrounding Earth's upper atmosphere. It ranges between about 40 to 600 miles above Earth's surface.)

Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio telescope: antennas send out signals instead of receiving. HAARP is the test run for a super-powerful radio wave 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.

HAARP publicity gives the impression that the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program is mainly an academic project with the goal of changing the ionosphere to improve communications for our own good. However, other US military documents put it more clearly: HAARP aims to learn how to "exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes". Communicating with submarines is only one of those purposes.

Press releases and other information from the military on HAARP continually downplay what it could do. Publicity documents insist that the HAARP project is no different than other ionospheric heaters operating safely throughout the world in places such as Arecibo, Puerto Rico; Troms?rway; and the former Soviet Union. However, a 1990 government document indicates that the radio frequency (RF) power zap will drive the ionosphere to unnatural activities:

"...at the highest HF powers available in the West, the instabilities commonly studied are approaching their maximum RF energy dissipative capability, beyond which the plasma processes will 'run away' until the next limiting factor is reached."

If the military, in cooperation with the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, can show that this new ground-based "Star Wars" technology is sound, they both win. The military has a relatively inexpensive defence shield and the university can brag about the most dramatic geophysical manipulation since atmospheric explosions of nuclear bombs. After successful testing, they would have the military megaprojects of the future and huge markets for Alaska's North Slope natural gas.

Looking at the other patents which built on the work of a Texas physicist named Bernard Eastlund, it becomes clearer how the military intends to use the HAARP transmitter. It also makes governmental denials less believable. The military knows how it intends to use this technology, and has made it clear in their documents. The military has deliberately misled the public through sophisticated word games, deceit and outright disinformation.

The military says the HAARP system could:

* give the military a tool to replace the electromagnetic pulse effect of atmospheric thermonuclear devices (still considered a viable option by the military through at least 1986);

* replace the huge Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) submarine communication system operating in Michigan and Wisconsin with a new and more compact technology;

* be used to replace the over-the-horizon radar system that was once planned for the current location of HAARP, with a more flexible and accurate system;

* provide a way to wipe out communications over an extremely large area, while keeping the military's own communications systems working;

* provide a wide-area Earth-penetrating tomography which, if combined with the computing abilities of EMASS and Cray computers, would make it possible to verify many parts of nuclear nonproliferation and peace agreements;

* be a tool for geophysical probing to find oil, gas and mineral deposits over a large area;

* be used to detect incoming low-level planes and cruise missiles, making other technologies obsolete.

The above abilities seem like a good idea to all who believe in sound national defence and to those concerned about cost-cutting. However, the possible uses which the HAARP records do not explain, and which can only be found in US Air Force, Army, Navy and other federal agency records, are alarming. Moreover, effects from the reckless use of these power levels in our natural shield-the ionosphere-could be cataclysmic, according to some scientists.
