This article was originally written for a paranormal magazine called The Paranormal Journal, it became known as The Underground Files covering ghosts, ufos, cryptozoology, and government conspiracies amongst others. I no longer write for the magazine and it is no longer in existence.
HAARP
A scientist who
wishes to remain anonymous has come forward with a fascinating idea on the
recent power outage in America.
He thinks it might have been
a test for a new weapon, while at the same time a test on how the country could
cope a with a full outage of power caused by terrorist attack, and how long it
would take to get things up and running again.
He became suspicious when he
noticed that blackout conveniently began a few minutes after the Wall Street
closing bell, thus stock markets were not disrupted.
Then he discovered that
HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project) was ‘turned on’ that
afternoon.
He says, “The basic concept
that HAARP relies upon is based on the work by N. Tesla when he was attempting
to devise a method for the wireless transmission of electrical power… for the
purpose of finding a way to modify weather. It is thought that this technology
was used by world leaders such as Stalin… (who) may have used such technology to
prevent unwanted rain or fog. These claims were often associated with widespread
reports of people feeling mysteriously ill.
“…HAARP is… an ionospheric
heater (the ionosphere is the mid-high atmosphere) that is capable of focusing
large quantities of electromagnetic energy into very localized regions that are
very far away from the source. It is entirely possible that the HAARP heaters
were directed at the power grid’s bottleneck while the grid was operating near
peak capacity. The sudden presence of electromagnetic energy could easily force
an unexpected increase in the power flow which could in turn cause a critical
failure as the one seen on August 14th, 2003.
“…So why would the
government do this to us? Well, first of all, HAARP is sponsored primarily by
the Air Force Weather Agency and ‘other agencies,’ and is known to be used as a…
warfare tool. This would be an ideal way to test possible military applications
of the instrument. It would be of great military value if we could cause an
entire region to lose electricity almost instantly without dropping a single
bomb. Of course, this would need to be tested in a controlled environment where
the effects could be thoroughly analysed (such as on our own soil). It would be
done in an area that could most easily handle such a large scale power outage
(such as the northeast U.S.).
“Also, being in a new age of
terrorism, this was an excellent homeland security test. By having a blackout
that covered one quarter of the country we can now see how people would respond,
what the strengths and weaknesses of our emergency response systems are, and how
quickly we could restore our systems to operating capacity.
If this was a
military experiment it would certainly have served multiple purposes. I also
believe it would have been a strong temptation for anyone with the power to
conduct such an experiment to do so.
“…I am a concerned
ionospheric physicist whom has worked with HAARP. I am concerned with the
unknown environmental and military implications of this device, and the
potential abuses thereof. I am not a conspiracy nut, and I do believe that HAARP
is a useful tool that needs to be put into responsible hands where it is not
abused and where the public has full access to its experimental capabilities and
data. It is an instrument that is paid for by tax-payers dollars and is
currently not in the hands of people who have earned or deserve our confidence
and trust.”
Now this is very
interesting, and it’s the first I’ve come across the admittance of such a
device; it also logical it could have been used on August 14th, 2003 – but you
make of it what you will, since we ain’t got a name for the ionospheric
physicist!
