In America, there are two related ionospheric heating facilities: the HIPAS, near Fairbanks, Alaska, and (currently offline for reconstruction) one at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association (EISCAT) operates an ionospheric heating facility, capable of transmitting over 1 GW effective radiated power (ERP), near Tromsø, Norway. Russia has the Sura Ionospheric Heating Facility, in Vasilsursk near Nizhniy Novgorod, capable of transmitting 190 MW ERP.

 HAARP Project Background and Conjecture

Some of the following information is by the military journalist, Eugene L. Lysanias. These edited and adapted excerpts were translated into English from the original Russian article.

Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was an inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer. He was an important contributor to the birth of commercial electricity, and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla’s patents (of which he had over 700) and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase system of electrical distribution and the AC motor.

Born an ethnic Serb, Tesla was a subject of the Austrian Empire by birth and later became an American citizen. He pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries were of groundbreaking importance. Tesla demonstrated wireless energy transfer to power electronic devices as early as 1893, and aspired to intercontinental wireless transmission of industrial power in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Towerproject.

At the beginning of last century, he patented methods of transmitting electrical energy through the natural environment (air, water, earth). Tesla developed a method of transmitting electrical impulses via the ionosphere, using the Earth and its elements as a conductor, to achieve his ambition of supplying free electricity to the world [using very high and low frequencies]. He also later cited Alaska as one location for such an experiment, because of its proximity to the target of conduction.

Tesla therefore believed that, were enough electrical energy pumped into the earth’s atmosphere – which stretches from the ground to the ionosphere, an electrically conducting set of layers 30 miles, and higher, above it – and oscillated at specific frequencies, a growing number of harmonic waves would be set in motion within it. Propagated around the globe, they could then be used, thought Tesla, not only for radio transmission but for wireless broadcast of electricity into homes and industrial plants, as well as to ships at sea and aircraft, if all were equipped with suitable receivers.

As he wrote:

“Impossible as it seemed, this planet, despite its vast extent, behaves like a conductor of limited dimensions. The tremendous significance of this fact in the transmission of energy in my system had already become quite clear to me. Not only was it possible to telegraphic messages to any distance without wires, as I recognized long ago, but also to impress on the entire globe the faint modulation of the human voice. Far more significant is the ability to transmit power in unlimited amounts to almost any terrestrial distance and without loss.”

More importantly, Tesla’s research led him to the conclusion that the electrical properties of the negatively charged earth and its positively charged upper atmosphere could be used to supply an almost unlimited quantity of electricity.

To test his ideas, Tesla built a mammoth 75-million-watt “magnifying transmitter” able to light a bank of two hundred 50-watt light bulbs, of his own design, for a total of 10,000 watts of energy, at a distance of 26 miles. (The California Institute of Technology has only recently achieved an optimal figure of 43% in the transmission of microwaves over a maximum distance of 1 mile.) No wires of any kind were utilized. The energy passed right through the ground. And Tesla claimed that only 5% of it was wasted.

Tesla’s “World System of Wireless Transmission” as summarized in his article “The Problem of Increasing Human Energy through the Use of the Sun’s Energy” (Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, June 1900):

“The World System has resulted from a combination of several original discoveries made by the inventor in the course of long-continued research and experimentation. It makes possible not only the instaneous and precise wireless transmission of any kind of signals, messages, or characters, to all parts of the world, but also the interconnection of the existing telegraph, telephone, and other signal stations without any change in their present equipment. By its means, for instance, a telephone subscriber here may call up and talk to any other subscriber on the globe. An inexpensive receiver, no bigger than a watch, will enable him to listen anywhere, on land or sea, to a speech delivered or music played in some other place, however distant.

“The World System is based on the application of certain important inventions and discoveries, including:

1. The Tesla Transformer. This apparatus is in the production of electrical vibrations as revolutionary as gunpowder in warfare.

2. The Magnifying Transmitter. This is Tesla’s best invention – peculiar transformer specially adapted to excite the Earth, which is in the transmission of electrical energy what the telescope is in astronomical observation. 

3. The Wireless System. This system comprises a number of improvements and is the only means known for transmitting economically electrical energy to a distance without wires. The first World System power plant can be put in operation in nine months. With this power plant it will be practicable to attain electrical activities up to 10 million horsepower (25 billion watts), and it is designed to serve for as many technical achievements as are possible without undue expense.”

However, his early experiments, using extremely low frequencies (ELF), led him to another startling conclusion – he could produce earthquakes.

Directed-Energy Weapon:

Tesla worked on plans for a directed-energy weapon from the early 1900s until his death. In 1937, Tesla wrote a treatise entitled “The Art of Projecting Concentrated Non-dispersive Energy through the Natural Media“, which concerned charged particle beams.

However, his initial intensions appear to have been to invent a weapon so destructive that it would be an ultimate deterrent and put an end to war.

Tesla published the document in an attempt to expound on the technical description of a “super weapon that would put an end to all war.” This treatise describing the particle beam is currently in the Nikola Tesla Museum archive in Belgrade. It describes an open-ended vacuum tube with a gas jet seal that allows particles to exit, a method of charging particles to millions of volts, and a method of creating and directing non-dispersive particle streams (through electrostatic repulsion).

His records indicate that the device is based on a narrow stream of atomic clusters of liquid mercury or tungsten accelerated via high voltage (by means akin to his magnifying transformer). In the 1940 article, Tesla gives the following description concerning the particle gun‘s operation:

Allegedly, after further experimentation, Tesla concluded that his weapon was too powerful for any one country to possess. He gave each of the allied countries parts of the weapon schematics, forcing them to work together to realise its potential. Only Russia contacted Tesla and requested more information regarding his work.

Soon after his death, Tesla’s papers and other property were impounded by the United States’ Alien Property Custodian office in Tesla’s compound at the Manhattan Warehouse, even though he was a naturalized citizen.

Dr. John G. Trump was the main government official who went over Tesla’s secret papers after his death in 1943. At the time, Trump was a well-known electrical engineer serving as a technical aide to the National Defence Research Committee of the Office of Scientific Research & Development, Technical Aids, Div. 14, NTRC (predecessor agency to the CIA’s Office of Scientific Intelligence).

At the time of his death, Tesla had been working on the Teleforce weapon, or ‘death ray,’ that he had unsuccessfully marketed to the US War Department. It appears that Teleforce was related to his research into ball lightning and plasma, and was conceived as a particle beam weapon. The US government claimed they did not find a prototype of the device in the safe.

After the FBI was contacted by the War Department, his papers were declared ‘top secret’. The personal effects were sequestered on the advice of presidential advisers. Altogether, in Tesla’s effects, there were the contents of his safe, two truckloads of papers and apparatus from his hotel, another 75 packing crates and trunks in a storage facility, and another 80 large storage trunks in another storage facility. The Navy and several “federal officials” spent two days microfilming some of the stuff at the Office of Alien Properties storage facility in 1943, and that was it, until Oct. 1945. Tesla’s family and the Yugoslav embassy struggled with the American authorities to gain these items after his death because of the potential significance of some of his research.

However, Tesla’s technological legacy most definitely lives on… in HAARP and similar ‘research’ establishments throughout the world.

Earth shattering developments and discoveries

The Russian military journalist, Eugene L. Lysanias writes, “In late 1970, the international community entered into an agreement prohibiting the development of geophysical weapons. However, despite the agreement developments in this area continue under the guise of scientific research. Moreover, their content and purpose remain shrouded in a veil of mystery and scientific speculation.

“Back in the 1970’s, on one of the U.S. Air Force bases, a facility was established that used Tesla Electromagnetic transmissions of different intensities. Similar experiments were also conducted in Australia (Armidale) and Puerto Rico (Arecibo). In fact, many scientists believe that this is the hidden cause of many [“natural”] disasters.”

In January 1978, Dr. Andrija Puharich, M.D., LL.D. issued a detailed research paper titled, “GLOBAL MAGNETIC WARFARE — A Layman’s Viet of Certain Artificially Induced Effects on Planet Earth during 1976 and 1977.” Describing early Soviet work with Tesla’s method of “controlled earthquakes,”he stated, “Of the many great earthquakes of 1976, there is one that demands special attention — the July 28, 1976 Tangshan, China earthquake.” Puharich’s analysis is significant because it describes airglow plasma effects created by the Soviet Woodpecker system. Ionosphere heating ELF systems, like HAARP, can generate similar effects.

Lysanias continues, “Later, in the program “Star Wars” (SDI), U.S. scientists worked to create the so-called ‘plasma cannon’ [Tesla technology] to destroy Soviet satellites. In 1986, the Office of Advanced Research and Development – Department of Defence – entered into a number of programs, which included the development of weapons of war based on electromagnetic radiation. One of their main purposes was to study the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the environment, biological objects and radio-electronic sources, and to develop a means of protection against these effects.”

In another section of his article, Lysanias writes, “[Tesla] had many followers, particularly Physicist Dr. Bernard J. Eastlund, who wrote ‘Method and mechanism for the change of atmosphere, ionosphere and / or the Earth’s magnetosphere’. His work was of interest to the Pentagon.” Eastlund patented this work in 1985.

Weather Modification Project

Quoting the 3/88 OMNI Magazine article, “Richard Williams, a physicist at Princeton, stated that he thinks the Eastlund (HAARP) might become ‘a serious threat to the earth’s atmosphere’ and ‘could cause irreversible damage…effects in the atmosphere cannot be localized…the language of the patent indicates that it is clearly intended to provide effects on a global scale’.”

Lysanias writes, “The Americans constructed a plant for the so-called horizon location in Alaska. This was designed to detect enemy aircraft missiles at the stage of launch and during flight, via a beam directed through the ionosphere. Near the picturesque village of Gakona, which is 450 km from Anchorage, they secretly began to construct the first powerful radar. From it, grew a forest of antennas that are 24 meters in height within a total area of more than 13 hectares – a total of 180 antennas.”

The Specula Magazine describes the Woodpecker effects:

The Gakona [Alaska] site would begin November 1993 and conclude the fall of 1994 with the demonstration prototype. Construction for the full-size IRI is anticipated to begin early 1995 and conclude late 1997.

“The Russian Defence Ministry expert, Colonel Alexander Plaksin Ph.D. says, – “As of today, the HAARP complex in Alaska is the most modern plant [of its kind] in the world. Its capacity is three times greater than the Norwegian installation EISKAT and 15 times that of the Russian installation, Sura.” It should be noted that, during the Cold War, the Soviet Union also conducted work in this area. One installed in Kapachah near Chernobyl, the other in the Far East… Because of the Chernobyl [disaster], radioactive elements have settled on the antenna and the equipment is unusable. They closed down the installation and local residents plundered a second facility.”

Later studies of the installations, indicated above, have confirmed a direct link to Tesla technology.

According to Lysanias in his article, Colonel Alexander Plaksin was aware of the potential uses and dangers of HAARP. At least the modifications and developments Eastlund made to Tesla’s work. These, of course, could be the inherent dangers of adapting third-hand technology. The Russians used Tesla’s work as a blueprint for their experiments in this field. The late, Dr. Eastlund seemed adamant that his work was used at HAARP. He particularly cites the antenna array as being his idea. There appears to be a direct correlation between the Russian (Tesla) and Eastlund (Tesla) technology used at HAARP.

The most powerful pre-HAARP ELF ionospheric heating systems were constructed by the Soviet Union at sites in Sura, Goriky, Monchegorsk and Dushanbe (Tadzhikistan). Western pre-HAARP ionospheric heating systems are located in Tromso, Norway; Arecibo, Puerto Rico; near Fairbanks, Alaska; and at Platteville, Colorado. These systems together with the Russian Woodpecker Tesla Magnifying Transmitters have created a severe alteration of global weather patterns — beginning in 1976, but intensifying through the 1980′s and 1990′s, as more ELF transmitters were constructed.

Possible Evidence of Dangerous Earth Anomalies from ELFs

Within a short time after the start of US and Soviet ‘through-the-earth transmissions’, it is claimed that this planet’s internal dynamo was affected. The following information essentially includes more observations concerning the supposed effects of HAARP, earlier ionospheric heating systems and weather modification.

An environmental group, the Cook Inlet Vigil, has uncovered severe dangers posed by this new earth-ionospheric “zapping” system.

The above picture is of a light spectacle, seen on 9^th December 2009. Although officially claimed to be the result of a failed Russian missile, some observers suspect that the source is EISKAT. A similar spectacle has also been witnessed in China and Australia.

Ultimately, is there anything in this technology for humanity to worry about? Given the amounts of energy generated by these arrays into our ionosphere, a cautious ‘maybe’ would be a reasonable answer. No matter what the destructive potential of HAARP and other similar ‘research’ projects around the world, it would be presumptuous to declare them a source of global catastrophe… at the moment.
