When Tesla's Nightmare Became Real
Jeane Manning first saw him confronting scientists outside the auditorium. They’d just heard a lecture on the genius of electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. The protester was a wiry man, in his late thirties. She’d later learn he was a physicist. But now, all she knew was, this guy was loud and angry. He was warning the scientists to stop worshiping Tesla’s ideas.
Manning wasn’t a scientist. She was a journalist specializing in unusual technology. So however crazy the protester sounded, she was interested in his perspective.
She knew enough about Tesla to know he had some dangerous ideas. He was famous for patenting AC current - the system used to deliver electricity all over the world, to this day. But it was Tesla’s experiments in wireless power and particle beam weapons that angered the protester.
He said the world was lucky Tesla never completed his enormous tower on Long Island, meant to broadcast electrical power around the planet. It was insane to play with the atmosphere on such a scale. He called it “mad science”.
Manning stayed in contact with the agitator. And she grew to appreciate his dedication to the cause.
Years later she got a shocking call from him.
He alerted her to a patent filed by Dr. Bernard Eastland. It described a device for altering the Earth’s Ionosphere. And it was based on Tesla’s work. It even cited Tesla’s patents as “prior art”. Manning was frightened reading the description: Eastland proposed a way to beam high power radio frequencies into the upper atmosphere. The device could manipulate global weather.
Then Manning read Tesla’s patent - the basis for this new project. Tesla had plans for a similar machine, promising: “a parallel of Thor’s shooting thunderbolts from the sky to punish those who had angered the Gods”. The potential was horrifying. Tesla claimed he could project electrical energy in any amount to any distance and apply it for “innumerable purposes”, both in war and peace. Manning was reading the description of an insane weapon.
And Eastlund’s new patent was not some artifact of history. It was filed in 1987.
“I’ll write about it,” said Manning, determined to get the word out. “We can get people to stop this.”
But the protester said it was too late: “they already found a site in Alaska. The maniacs are actually going to build it.”
SCENE - TESLA’S GLOBAL POWER TRIP
In 1905, Nikolas Tesla was world famous and desperate for money.
He was famous because he proved to the world he was a genius of electrical engineering. In the 1880’s he developed a system of generators, transformers, and transmission lines, to deliver alternating electrical current - AC power - anywhere on the planet. Put simply, he invented the modern electrical grid powering the light in your living room right now.
But he’d done so much more. By this time, Tesla had stunned the world by demonstrating - using his famous Tesla Coil - he could send electrical power across a room with no wires at all. The idea energy could be delivered wirelessly launched a new age of radio communication. Tesla had already changed the world.
So why was he desperate for money?
Because sending power wirelessly across a room was nothing. Tesla wanted to send power across the planet. He would use his funds to build a giant Tesla Coil to do just that. His coil would send low-frequency oscillating currents into the Earth’s crust. He was sure the Earth would act as a large electrical conductor. The energy would travel great distances, able to be harnessed at distant points. Think of it as a stone thrown in a pond - his powerful coil would drop electrical currents resulting in waves of power rippling across the planet.
And he spared no expense on the giant Tesla coil. It was a staggering 49 feet high, with an output of several million volts.
But Tesla’s vision would take more than the coil. He would need to build a massive power plant to harness the power. He convinced J.P. Morgan to fund the project. Tesla and his team broke ground at Wardenclyffe, Long Island. In his pitch to Morgan - arguably the most powerful banker alive - Tesla promised he’d be sending power, telegrams, and telephone calls anywhere in the world. According to Tesla:
“This energy will be collected all over the globe. One its chief uses will be the illumination of isolated homes. Another valuable application will be the driving of clocks and other such apparatus . . . When the great truth is fully recognized, that this planet is to electric currents virtually no more than a small metal ball; when the first plant is inaugurated and it is shown that a telegraphic message can be transmitted to any terrestrial distance, the sound of the human voice, with all its intonations and inflections, faithfully and instantly reproduced at any other point of the globe, the energy of a waterfall made available for supplying light, heat or motive power, anywhere-on sea, or land, or high in the air — humanity will be like an ant heap stirred up with a stick: See the excitement coming!”
Tesla’s dreams were big, but believable — he was a proven genius. Morgan was no dummy. He ended up with 51% of the deal, a controlling stake in Tesla’s success.
But Tesla made a major miscalculation. He was going for the home run - the global effect. It was taking time to figure out how to pump oscillating currents into the Earth’s crust. And then there would need to be receivers designed to get the messages, to harness the power. There was a long road ahead. And two things happened that stopped Tesla in his tracks. First, he ran out of money. Second, a man named Marconi beat Tesla to the big headline: he actually transmitted wirelessly across the Atlantic Ocean.
SCENE - MARCONI PLAYS THE MAMBA
By 1899, Marconi had already transmitted messages across the English Channel. The next step was across the Atlantic. Several scientists were after this big prize, Tesla included. Secretly, Marconi went to work building two transmitter towers with enough power. After several failed attempts, he was able to construct a tower in Poldhu, England and another at St. John’s in Newfoundland - the closest point to England still considered North America.
It was hardly the industrial grade power plant and 49 foot high coil Tesla was building. In fact, Marconi had to resort to an aerial antennae suspended from a kite to receive any transmission. But no one cared how bare bones the methods were - they cared if it worked. And on December 6, 1901, Marconi’s team broadcasted a simple message from one tower to the other: three “S”’s in morse code. S. S. S. This wasn’t Tesla’s vision of global power delivery. It was a bunch of beeps. But Marconi did it. He’d communicated wirelessly across the Atlantic.
The New York Times called Marconi’s achievement “the most wonderful scientific development of recent times.”
And J.P. Morgan wouldn’t send good money after bad. He told Tesla there would be no more funds for his grand vision. He still had 51% of the vision if it ever worked. But Morgan would be risking no more of his own fortune. And no other investor would jump in, just to boost Morgan’s majority stake. Tesla was suddenly grounded.
Of course, there may have been another reason Morgan stopped responding to Tesla. The guy was becoming unhinged. Tesla’s “grand vision” was sounding disturbing.
SCENE - TESLA’S DARK DREAMS
In 1908, Tesla wrote a letter to the New York Times defending his slow pace in broadcasting across the Atlantic. He mocked the idea wireless telephony was “the greatest achievement of humanity” as reported. He insisted any expert in electrical engineering could do it.
Instead, Tesla describes his vision of what would be a great achievement. It involved sending energy into the ether, strong enough to move the smallest particles in the atmosphere. By doing this, Tesla explained, it was possible for “man to cause matter to form and disappear, at his command with almost no effort on his part.” Tesla said man would “be able to alter the size of this planet, control the seasons, adjust its distance from the sun, guide it on its eternal journey along any path he might choose.” He finished his borderline unhinged rant by claiming, through the manipulation of energy and particles, man could “cause at will the birth and death of matter” and have “mastery of physical creation”.
This darker vision was a hint of what came later in Tesla’s life.
In his old age, Tesla had a final, terrifying invention to pursue.
On his 78th birthday he held a press conference to announce he was perfecting a particle beam weapon.
The New York Times explained Tesla would be able to “send concentrated beams of particles through the air, of such tremendous energy they will bring down a fleet of 10,000 enemy airplanes at a distance of 250 miles from a defending nation’s border and will cause armies of millions to drop dead in their tracks.”
Tesla claimed his beam could be generated from a special plant costing no more than $2,000,000 to build. And he promised a dozen such plants, located at strategic positions, would be enough to defend a country against all possible aerial attacks. Tesla’s beam would melt any airplane’s engine, and ignite any explosives aboard.
Ironically, he promised his invention would, “abolish war”. He said this death beam would “surround each country like an invisible Chinese wall”. It would make “every nation impregnable against attack by airplanes or invading armies.”
The scariest thing about the particle beam weapon was the fact that Tesla knew what he was doing. He had specific designs in mind. And he described it in enough detail to convince other scientists it just might work.
His machine would accelerate tiny mercury particles to a velocity forty-eight times the speed of sound. They would be energized by high-voltage direct current. The ions would be carried up a pipe into a giant sphere, just like Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower. This tower would become a transmitter able to generate a hundred million volts. And the transmitter would then become a projector - a weapon - shooting a single row of highly charged particles over great distance. Fellow scientists agreed Tesla’s plans reflected the state of the art in high-voltage engineering.
Indeed, Tesla’s weapon was taken seriously in 1934. Interested governments were given architectural plans for the device. Some believe Tesla set up a secret laboratory in Manhattan to build one.
The Soviets were the first to enter into an agreement for the weapon. The British considered it - they were hoping to create a stable Europe in the face of a new threat from Hitler’s Germany. But ultimately, the British didn’t bite.
When World War II broke out, Tesla approached the US Government a second time. But ultimately he never got an official contract. The US Government considered Tesla - now approaching 84 years - a bit of a nutty old wizard.
Until the wizard died. Then the FBI got paranoid.
SCENE - TESLA’S MICROFILM
In 1943, Tesla passed away in his sleep. And in the weeks following, the FBI made efforts to find Tesla’s papers. If he actually had plans for this particle beam weapon, the FBI wanted them safe and sound in U.S. hands.
The White House seized all of Tesla’s property - two truckloads of material. Trusted scientists reviewed the files. Anything interesting was turned to microfilm.
The official White House report said they found nothing. Yet documents were turned into microfilm for storage. They clearly found something.
Over the next forty years, numerous individuals contacted the FBI about Tesla’s papers. The standard reply was they didn’t have them.
In the 1970’s, scientists became interested in Tesla’s work as it might help develop Nuclear fusion. So they asked to see the microfilm. The reply? “We don’t have any microfilm.”
Yet by the 1980’s a project became public that sure sounded like it came straight from Tesla’s files - the exact papers that would have been turned into microfilm and hidden away. The United States was developing a particle beam weapon.
Specifically the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - or DARPA - had multiple advanced weapons projects going.
In 1978, work began on the ALPHA chemical laser project to find controllable chemical weapons. The scope included nerve agents, blister agents, and incapacitating agents.
In 1979, the TALON GOLD targeting system was added. Details of this project remain classified.
In 1980, the Large Optics Demonstration Experiment was launched. The goal with LODE was to test the feasibility of using large optics in space - in other words, lasers - for tracking of ballistic missiles. The Department of Defense added X-Ray and Chemical lasers to the list of projects. And, of course, a neutral particle beam weapon was a major component. In total, the DOD and DARPA’s slate of advanced weapons projects became the basis for the Strategic Defense Initiative announced by President Ronald Reagan in 1983. The initiative known to the public as Star Wars.
The particle beam weapon continued to pose challenges. The biggest was the sheer power required for one to be effective. One scientist estimated destroying an army of a million soldiers would require the power of 7 nuclear reactors delivering 5,000 megawatts each. A single beam weapon remained impractical. But what if Tesla’s coils could charge particles in a more efficient way? What if, instead of one giant coil, you built an array of transmitters? The U.S. Military would ultimately figure out an innovative solution. In fact, they did one better: they patented it.
SCENE - ENTER THE IONOSPHERE
There’s a unique layer of atmosphere 37 miles above us, extending up to 75 miles. It’s unique because it’s packed with ions and free electrons. There are so many charged particles in this layer, it’s actually considered a plasma. As in, the air is not a gas or a liquid, but literally plasma, a form of matter. And radio waves can’t get through it - they’re reflected back to the Earth. Which is why radio reaches past the horizon. The waves actually get reflected back to the ground when the Earth curves. Instead of going in a straight line into space. Just one more piece of evidence the Earth isn’t flat.
This unique, highly charged layer of the sky is called the ionosphere. And it’s the key to the military’s next attempt to make Tesla’s idea for a global weapon a reality.
We know this because it’s in the patent.
It was filed in 1985 and assigned to a company called ARCO Power Technologies Inc.
The title: Method and Apparatus for Altering the Ionosphere.
The device described in the patent would concentrate significant electrical power directly into the Ionosphere, strong enough to disrupt the plasma. And it would use an array of transmitters to cover a large area of the sky.
According to the patent, transmitting electromagnetic waves into the ionosphere would provide the ability to interfere with all modes of communication - land, sea, or air - all at the same time.
Control of relativistic particles - charged particles traveling near the speed of light - could be used to destroy missiles or aircraft.
In addition, molecular modifications of the atmosphere could be achieved causing changes in ozone or nitrogen concentrations. Or the breakup of chemical entities like carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide. In other words, the device could change the environment at will.
The invention could create artificial plasma clouds that act as mirrors, extending high frequency radar or communication signals enormous distances.
The patent even describes the ability to heat the plasma and focus it like a beam to disrupt satellite transmissions across the globe.
The Tesla-like coils involved would pass electrons in a resonance, or pulsing, pattern - creating an oscillating field that would continually boost the energy output.
And the patent even recommends Alaska as the site for such a project.
Now, this was not the only patent ARCO Power Technologies - or APTI - collected at the time. There was also U.S. Patent 5038664 - filed in 1985 - describing a plasma shield of relativistic particles in the ionosphere. This would replace the impractical particle beam. Instead, we’d have a layer of concentrated particles no missile could penetrate.
The same year APTI attained the rights to U.S. Patent 4712155. This one involved an artificial electron cyclotron which heated plasma in the ionosphere. And there were more.
APTI collected no less than twelve different patents dealing with devices using Tesla Magnifying Transmitters to manipulate the ionosphere.
It was almost like APTI was planning a major project based on Tesla’s work.
Because they were.
APTI wasn’t just collecting patents for the fun of it. They were a building contractor hired by the U.S. Navy, Air Force, and DARPA. Their assignment? The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. Otherwise known as HAARP.
SCENE - NO ORDINARY ARRAY
The meeting was in the Office of Naval Research on December 13, 1989. At the table: the Air Force, Navy, members of the Department of Defense, and DARPA - the branch of the DOD focused on emerging military technologies. Clearly this group doesn’t meet for non-military purposes. And on this day, they would officially green light construction of HAARP. The public-facing purpose was to study the ionosphere. The internal reason was to modify it and exploit it in every way science would allow.
Once constructed, the U. S. Government would have a new ground-based weapon located in the remote bush country of Alaska. If it worked as the patents described, this new system could manipulate the environment, jam global communications, and cause all enemies great and small serious damage.
No longer a dream in Tesla’s mind, the high-powered transmitter array was about to become real. Work at the remote site near Gakona, Alaska began in 1993.
* * *
According to public statements, HAARP was not an advanced weapon at all. It was an ionospheric heater. The purpose was to study the ionosphere. The
“heating” part referred to the use of electric signals to create small-scale, controlled artificial auroras. The goal was to understand how these auroras affect communications and navigation systems.
Ionospheric Heaters weren’t that unusual. There were at least three already built in the United States:
The HIPAS Observatory was already operational in Fairbanks, Alaska. On paper, this facility had the same mission. And a similar name - the “High Power Auroral Stimulation Observatory”. It also used an array of dipole antennas and a high powered transmitter. The facility cost around 5 million dollars.
The first ionospheric heater in the U.S. was built in Platteville, Colorado. Again, the site featured an array of high frequency antennas. And again, the costs ran into the several-million-dollar range.
And there was the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. This site had an enormous radio telescope. But it also featured a powerful high-frequency ionospheric heater. The whole facility costs around 9 million to construct, the bulk of which covered the telescope. Keep in mind, this was no ordinary telescope. At the time it was one of the largest and most powerful in the world. The diameter of the antenna’s dish was the size of three football fields.
HAARP had no such telescope. It was planned to be a large array of transmitters. So you might expect it to cost less than Arecibo.
But it cost much more. It’s first official funding from Congress was $10 million - twice the cost of the similar site in Fairbanks. That didn’t include funds from the Navy, Airforce, and Defense Department budgets to break ground. And that was nowhere near the total cost of building HAARP. Congress’s ten million was just a year of funding.
Ultimately, when the build was complete, HAARP cost more than $290 million.
This was no ordinary transmitter array.
* * *
HAARP was built in stages, with extensive testing in between. By 1995, the site had 18 towers and 18 transmitters on line. These were high powered, high-frequency Ionosphere Research Instruments capable of transmitting any frequency in the spectrum: from DC to extremely low frequencies, microwaves, infrared, and visible light. In 1997 the transmitters and software were completely redesigned to increase precision and control of the powerful output. By 1999, the site grew to 48 working transmitters, putting out 16 megawatts. And this wasn’t even half of what was planned.
From 2005 to 2007, HAARP went live with 180 transmitters on 40 acres of land. It was by far the most powerful ionospheric heater array on Earth. It topped out at five gigawatts. If it was just for atmospheric testing, it was like using a Bughatti Veyron to pick up milk at the store. The U.S. Military were extremely pleased: HAARP was actually completed on time per its contract. The site was fully operational.
And then all Hell broke loose.
SCENE - ALL HELL
On August 23, 2005, the crew of the Weather Channel noticed a tropical depression forming over the Bahamas. They began tracking it, expecting it to grow into a stronger storm. They weren’t disappointed.
By the next day, as it moved west, the winds increased to 80 miles per hour. Overnight it grew from a storm to a full-fledged hurricane.
That meant the National Hurricane Center began providing that familiar cone-shaped hurricane tracker projected over a map of the country. It’s actually called the “Cone of Uncertainty”. The graphic starts small, where the hurricane currently lives. Then it becomes wider covering all possible paths. Overall, you get a general idea where the hurricane’s going.
By August 26th, the Cone of Uncertainty showed the hurricane on a familiar path. At the Weather Channel’s 11AM briefing, the tracker showed the hurricane curving over the Gulf of Mexico into the Florida panhandle. Exactly the path followed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and Dennis in 2005. Not great for the already battered Florida coast, but typical of storms on this trajectory.
Then, in the middle of the day, something strange happened. This hurricane didn’t act as expected. There was a troubling shift.
First, there was the central pressure. It was dropping like a rock - down to 902 millibars. This was bad. Basically, the lower the central pressure, the higher the wind speeds and the stronger the storm. 902 wasn’t just low, it was the 7th lowest central pressure ever recorded for an Atlantic basin hurricane.
Then, there was the direction.
At their mid-afternoon storm briefing on August 26, the on-air production crew had to look twice at the Cone of Uncertainty. Was this right? The projected path shifted 175 miles west. The hurricane was no longer curving into the panhandle. It was suddenly making a straight path into a city of over a million people. Senior Meteorologist Tom Moore said it bluntly: “New Orleans is now in the cone”.
* * *
Hurricane Katrina was the costliest hurricane to ever hit the United States, and one of the five deadliest. Over 1,800 people died as a result of the storm.
But Hurricane Katrina was just one sign something weird was going on with the planetary weather. The years HAARP was operational, the skies were delivering weather beyond bad - it was unprecedented.
In 2005, the Atlantic hurricane season had 27 named storms - the most every on record. That included 14 hurricanes, again the most ever on record. In ’06, the Atlantic activity suddenly drops from the record setting 27 storms to 9. But other parts of the globe became active at record-setting levels. In the central Pacific, Typhoon Ioke became the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the region with max winds over 150 miles an hour. Typhoon Saomai hit China with winds topping 160 miles an hour, making it the most powerful typhoon to hit China in 50 years. The next year, the Arabian Sea experienced its strongest Tropical Cyclone in history. And the Atlantic had two category 5 hurricanes make landfall for the first time since 1886.
In 2008, for the first time in history, a major hurricane hit the Atlantic region every single month from July through November. In ’09, Hurricane Rick became the strongest hurricane to form in October since man recorded the weather. And Typhoon Morakot hit Taiwan killing 614 people - becoming the area’s deadliest Typhoon since records began.
By 2010, a frightening shift happened in the recording of weather. Suddenly, the benchmark to be called the worst storm ever was no longer from a distant year in history. It was 2005. For example, the number of Atlantic named storms hit 19 in 2010 — would have been the most ever on record. Except for 2005. And Typhoon Megi in the Pacific would have been the strongest tropical cyclone ever, except for Typhoon Haitang in 2005.
Is it really possible military experiments heating the ionosphere could dramatically affect weather? According to Dr. Ross Hoffman, not only is the answer yes, that’s the main goal. He explained it in a 2004 article in Scientific American. It was titled “Controlling Hurricanes: Can Hurricanes and Other Severe Tropical Storms Be Moderated or Deflected?” According to Hoffman, it only takes “tiny influences” to make major changes in the weather. “Seemingly insignificant inputs can have profound effects. And they can lead quickly to unpredictable consequences. In the case of hurricanes, small changes in the location of wind currents or the shape of rain clouds can strongly influence a hurricane’s potential power.
But is there any actual evidence man was intervening in the weather?
Actually - it’s hiding in plain sight. You just have to look up.
SCENE - CHEMTRAILS
It was early on Sunday morning, March 17, 2002. We know the date because it changed the life of Brian Holmes forever, so he wrote it down. He was checking the feeders in his turkey house, making sure they were full. He was a farmer outside Ontario, Canada. Turkeys were his primary source of income.
He heard a jet flying overhead, so he looked up. Turned out to be two of them. And something was odd - they were flying close together. Then one turned to the West, the other North. He noticed contrails trailing their path. A normal thing to see when planes fly by: visible streaks of cloud behind the plane. “Contrails” is short for condensation trails. They’re made when water vapor from the jet exhaust mixes with dry air. It causes ice crystals to form. Contrails dissipate quickly when the ice heats up. Only these contrails weren’t dissipating. They weren’t going away at all.
Brian kept watching. And what he saw made no sense. The jets began to criss cross, adding new lines of clouds. They created a grid pattern across the sky. According to Brian, “the two aircraft continued back and forth for two or three hours until a large checker board grid of trails had been formed.”
He was witnessing something being methodically and systematically sprayed into the sky, meant to look like contrails.
And he wasn’t the only one to see it.
800 miles away in Parsonfield Maine, journalist S.T. Brendt was getting her morning coffee when she noticed her husband outside staring at the sky. She asked him what he was looking at. He kept staring up and said, “those clouds are side by side in a straight line. It ain’t right.” Brendt tried to convince him it was nothing. Nature can be odd sometimes. Then, over the next few hours, jets made 29 more passes across the sky. A grid formed. And the exhaust trails weren’t going away, even after hours. Her husband asked, “what kind of clouds just hang in the air like that?”
Turns out, the answer is chemtrails.
Will Thomas from the Environmental News Service started collecting more eyewitness accounts. People responded by the hundreds, from across the United States. Witnesses claimed, “they look like they’re playing tic tac toe up there. You know darn well it’s not passenger planes.” Another said, “One morning I saw so many I almost had a car accident. There were 50, 100 of them, far as I could see.” Thomas had uncovered a phenomenon. Said another witness, “these contrails were so out of place you couldn’t help but notice ‘em.”
Thomson knew the military had plans to spread particles into the sky. The Pentagon admitted it in a 1996 report titled “Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025”. But this was not yet 2025. Did they already put these plans in action?
The obvious next step was to test these mystery clouds. Find out what, if anything, was in there. Universities had access to specialized research planes built to collect air particles at high altitude. Even a private jet would work - he’d just have to rig a way to grab samples. But Thomas didn’t have access to private jets. And he didn’t have funding to pay for specialized research craft.
Then he got a little help from a turkey farmer.
While Thomas was collecting eyewitness accounts, farmer Brian Holmes posted his account to his farm’s website. Visitors to the site seemed very interested. So he kept adding more pictures. Soon he had an entire section on chemtrails. Traffic to his site exploded. A community of concerned Canadians grew. They started a petition. It asked the Canadian government to “stop the dispersal of military chaff or any cloud-seeding substance by military aircraft without consent of the Canadian people”. Ultimately, 550 Canadians signed the petition and got the attention of Parliament. Laboratory tests were ordered.
Rainwater that had fallen through chemtrails was collected and analyzed.
Will Thomas had his suspicions, but seeing the results in black and white was still shocking: the chemtrails contained levels of aluminum five times higher than allowed. But the real shocker was the presence of carbon black. Thomas recognized the fine black powder immediately. While it’s mostly used in coating electrical parts, or reinforcing rubber, in the atmosphere it has only one purpose. Its ability to absorb sunlight and heat make carbon black ideal for alternating weather patterns.
SCENE - FRANKENSTORM
The public relations sheet for HAARP describes it as a scientific research site testing the ionosphere. But the US military funded the site. And the technology was clearly powerful beyond civilian research goals. Its 180 high frequency transmitters have a combined ERP - or Effective Radiated Power - exceeding 1.7 gigawatts. More broadcast power than all the radio and television stations in the world combined. The array is capable of charging the ionosphere, building and steering storms across the globe.
As Halloween neared in 2012, the HAARP experiment may have gone out of control once again.
On October 24, the winds of tropical storm Sandy reached 80 miles an hour. That made it an official Hurricane. Then the first strange thing happened:
As it moved passed Jamaica, Meteorologists tracking Sandy expected it to head northeast, out to sea. That’s typical for Hurricanes in the North Atlantic. But after causing massive flooding in the Caribbean, Sandy made an unexpected - and alarming - left turn. Straight for the 9 million people living in New Jersey.
That’s when the second strange thing happened.
A mid latitude trough developed, traveling head-on into Sandy. “Troughs” are areas of low atmospheric pressure tied to the polar jet stream. On their own, they can lead to severe cyclones. Now we had one heading straight into on oncoming hurricane.
This made things a whole lot worse. Hurricane Sandy merged with the incoming trough and was boosted in strength. It became an ultra-rare Superstorm. The media called it Frankenstorm. When it hit land it was over 900 miles in diameter. The storm’s effects killed 147 people.
If HAARP experiments helped create this Frankenstorm, Chemtrail Researchers noticed a possible attempt to correct it.
Before Sandy made landfall, satellite doppler radar indicated two layers of clouds. One was the thunderclouds you’d expect. But there was another layer: streaks of clouds, parallel to each other. Someone had sprayed chemtrails, dumping particles 40,000 feet into the core of the hurricane.
* * *
Columnist Harold Saive went so far as to call Sandy a “cold-blooded, coordinated exercise”. He said it was “a clear record of government, military and inter-agency secrecy and complicity not acknowledged since the Manhattan Project.”
Saive referenced a report from the The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - a government agency in the US Department of Commerce. It was called “Identification and Testing of Hurricane Mitigation Hypotheses”. And it described aerosols affecting cloud dynamics in a “fundamental” way. Those “ways” included updraft velocities, drop size distributions, and the intensity and path of hurricanes.
Was Hurricane Sandy used to test the effect of these aerosols as a way to correct HAARP experiments? We’ll never know. Because suddenly, in 2013, HAARP went dark.
SCENE - TESLA WINS IN THE END
The public was told it was budget cuts when the military shut down HAARP in 2013. Congress got a different answer. An Air Force official testified: “HAARP is not an area we have any need for in the future.” He added, “we’re moving on to other ways of managing the ionosphere, which the HAARP was really designed to do.”
By 2015, the 40 acre site was turned over to the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Civilian research projects now use the powerful array of transmitters.
Of course, there was a year between the official shut down and the University taking over.
For that one year - 2014 - one of the original partners who funded the site had complete control. That was DARPA - the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
In the original 1995 Senate Report outlining the purposes of HAARP, they allocated appropriations for “advanced weapons”. Exactly in DARPA’s wheelhouse.
It seems DARPA had one more experiment to run before letting go if the HAARP was given over to the University.
It was called BRIOCHE. It stood for Basic Research on Ionospheric Characteristics and Effects. DARPA used the high-frequency transmitters at HAARP to produce a sustained high density plasma cloud in the upper atmosphere. They were able to sustain it for a full hour.
The potential for manmade plasma clouds? Disrupt global communication. Serve as artificial mirrors to reflect and extend radar.
And then there’s that patent - one of twelve secretly used in the original HAARP build. Number 4,712,155 was for “Creating an Artificial Electron Cyclotron Heating Region of Plasma". An invention that would generate energy transfers through the ionosphere, to be tapped off at distant points.
Or as Tesla called it, a particle beam weapon.
SCENE - THE BIG DEBUNK
The truth? HAARP is, indeed, the most powerful ionospheric heater in the world. But it ain’t that powerful. It can’t compete with the sun. The 180 antennas don’t have enough power to create lasting effects. Let alone control the weather. Or cause earthquakes, or anything else beyond learning more about the ionosphere. The main goal of the site is to understand the ionosphere’s effect on communications and radar systems.
The plasma clouds they’ve generated have enabled radar to extend over the horizon. And they’ve been able to reflect frequencies back to the Earth powerful enough to map underground mines.
It’s a valuable site for research but not a source of nefarious experiments. In fact, nothing about it is classified at all.
Chemtrails are not real either. The contrails you see in the sky are, well, contrails - formed when hydrocarbon fuel is burned and combines with oxygen. If the temperature is cold enough, you get cloud-like trails. Some take hours to dissipate.
The Director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration pointed out spraying particles from airplanes would be a horrible way to affect the environment. They’d be very inefficient since they disappear so fast. And, he added, they wouldn’t be white. Anything sprayed with aerosols needed for geo-engineering would look bright yellow. Although he’s quick to add, that actual technology doesn’t even exist. Yet.
