Weather Warfare Weapons – Part 2

Angels Don’t Play This HAARP

Angels Still Don’t Play This HAARP

The quality of the first video above is not very good. Dr Nick Begich in his book: Angels Don’t Play This HAARP describes what HAARP is :

Angels Don’t Play This HAARP: Advances in Tesla Technology is about the military’s plan to manipulate that which belongs to the world — the ionosphere. The arrogance of the United States government in this is not without precedent.
Professor Michel Chossudovsky explains in The Ultimate Weapon of Mass Destruction:”Owning the Weather” for Military Use :

Environmental warfare is defined as the intentional modification or manipulation of the natural ecology, such as climate and weather, earth systems such as the ionosphere, magnetosphere, tectonic plate system, and/or the triggering of seismic events (earthquakes) to cause intentional physical, economic, and psycho-social, and physical destruction to an intended target geophysical or population location, as part of strategic or tactical war.” (Eco News)

What are the underlying causes of extreme weather instability, which has ravaged every major region of the World in the course of the last few years?

Hurricanes and tropical storms have ravaged the Caribbean. Central Asia and the Middle East are afflicted by drought. West Africa is facing the biggest swarm of locusts in more than a decade. Four destructive hurricanes and a tropical rain storm Alex, Ivan, Frances, Charley and Jeanne have occurred in a sequence, within a short period of time. Unprecedented in hurricane history in the Caribbean, the island of Grenada was completely devastated: 37 people died and roughly two-thirds of the island’s 100,000 inhabitants have been left homeless; in Haiti, more than two thousand people have died and tens of thousands are homeless. The Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Cuba, the Bahamas and Florida have also been devastated. In the US, the damage in several Southern states including Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and the Carolinas is the highest in US history.

Weather Warfare
The significant expansion in America’s weather warfare arsenal, which is a priority of the Department of Defense is not a matter for debate or discussion. While, environmentalists blame the Bush administration for not having signed the Kyoto protocol, the issue of “weather warfare”, namely the manipulation of weather patterns for military use is never mentioned.

The US Air Force has the capability of manipulating climate either for testing purposes or for outright military-intelligence use. These capabilities extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes. In recent years, large amounts of money have been allocated by the US Department of Defense to further developing and perfecting these capabilities.

Weather modification will become a part of domestic and international security and could be done unilaterally… It could have offensive and defensive applications and even be used for deterrence purposes. The ability to generate precipitation, fog, and storms on earth or to modify space weather, … and the production of artificial weather all are a part of an integrated set of technologies which can provide substantial increase in US, or degraded capability in an adversary, to achieve global awareness, reach, and power. (US Air Force, emphasis added. Air University of the US Air Force, AF 2025 Final Report, http://www.au.af.mil/au/2025/ emphasis added)
…
Climatic Manipulation by the US Military: The HAARP Program
The High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) based in Gokona, Alaska, has been in existence since 1992. It is part of a new generation of sophisticated weaponry under the US Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Operated by the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Space Vehicles Directorate, HAARP constitutes a system of powerful antennas capable of creating “controlled local modifications of the ionosphere” [upper layer of the atmosphere]:

“[HAARP will be used] to induce a small, localized change in ionospheric temperature so that resulting physical reactions can be studied by other instruments located either at or close to the HAARP site”. (HAARP website)

Nicholas Begich –actively involved in the public campaign against HAARP– describes HAARP as:

“A super-powerful radiowave-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.”

World renowned scientist Dr. Rosalie Bertell depicts HAARP as “a gigantic heater that can cause major disruptions in the ionosphere, creating not just holes, but long incisions in the protective layer that keeps deadly radiation from bombarding the planet.”

According to Richard Williams, a physicist and consultant to the David Sarnoff laboratory in Princeton

HAARP constitutes “an irresponsible act of global vandalism.” He and others fear a secret second stage where HAARP would “beam much more energy into the ionosphere. That could produce a severe disruption of the upper atmosphere at one location that may produce effects that spread rapidly around the Earth for years.”

HAARP has been presented to public opinion as a program of scientific and academic research. US military documents seem to suggest, however, that HAARP’s main objective is to “exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes.”

Without explicitly referring to the HAARP program, a US Air Force study points to the use of “induced ionospheric modifications” as a means of altering weather patterns as well as disrupting enemy communications and radar. (Ibid)

HAARP also has the ability of triggering blackouts and disrupting the electricity power system of entire regions. An analysis of statements emanating from the US Air Force points to the unthinkable: the covert manipulation of weather patterns, communications systems and electric power as a weapon of global warfare, enabling the US to disrupt and dominate entire regions of the World.
Was Katrina a man made hurricane? Richard Hoagland has this to say:

…what we are seeing in this extraordinary radar sequence … is the standard NEXRAD radar signal being — somehow — reflected back from the clear air over and around New Orleans … air which has somehow been made “radar reflective” by the application of an otherwise invisible “energy” signature … from somewhere.

While the precise nature of this anomalous “reflection mechanism” is currently unknown — without further information from other sensor systems — possibilities range from “actual ionization of the air” itself (making it more electrically conductive — and thus radar reflective), to equally anomalous “wavelike” changes in the density of the air within the rotating radar beam ….

In the HD Model, it is this “HD imprinting” of New Orleans, by this impossible (in current physics) “energy vortex signature” which … 12 days later … literally attracted Hurricane Katrina right to New Orleans … exactly like a homesick homing pigeon!

By any current physics, such “imprinting” of an entire geographical location is impossible. But, isn’t this type of extremely sophisticated “climate control technology” precisely what former Secretary of Defense, William Cohen, tried to warn us about … back in 1997!?
…
…the official NEXRAD radar signatures of August 17th … which dramatically attests that “something,” definitely “impossible” by all known current physics, was leaving an easily detectable radar signature in clear air over the City of New Orleans, on the evening of August 17th …. Something which … 12 days later … “attracted” the worst regional hurricane disaster in the history of these United States.

What that “energy signature” ultimately represents MUST now be explained … lest whomever is actually using this “secret” technology, decides to strike again ….
There are quite a few people who are of the opinion that The Dec 26, 2004 tsunami was man made (see here and here). It is however, very hard to conclude without real evidence.
Reality is very seldom what the general public perceive it to be. Most people live in a largely imaginary world, brainwashed into believing propaganda and outright lies. Many actually believe that the truth is a lie and the lie is the truth. Strange but true.
Weather weapons are here. Increasingly, they are being used and it shows. Anomalous unseasonal weather seems to be happening more frequently. So, when you hear of earthquakes, hurricanes and floods, before you say : Act of God, think about it. It may actually be act of man. See also :

Gold BreakOut on U.S. Dollar Devaluation Expectations?

I belong to the camp that expects a massive USD devaluation. In fact, I don’t think the USD will survive the coming monetary meltdown, much like Zimbabwe’s currency and the Weimar Republic (of pre WW2 Germany). The question is: will the US government deliberately devalue the currency or let market forces drive it down? My feeling is: it is highly unlikely the US government will announce a currency devaluation. The blame game will be on them.
A 30% devaluation of the USD can cost China as much as US$600B in losses (since they hold US$2T of USD denominated assets). Imagine the political blowback! This can result in major conflict, as in war. Retaliation via financial war/conflict will definitely occur. So I seriously doubt Uncle Sam will take this option. More likely: they will continue to monetize debts by printing money out of thin air and thus inflate away their debts. So, the USD will collapse via market forces.
Julian DW Philips writes :

Some sage gold watchers are expecting a major $ devaluation before the end of the year! Some say it could be any day now. Certainly the fundamentals have pointed that way, as we have discussed for some time now, this despite the repeated “Strong $ Policy” statement from this and the last Administration. The concept is no doubt alarming and implies a radical change in global economics.

We believe that should such an event occur it should be seen as a culmination of major changes precipitated by the ‘credit crunch’, the rise of China and the imperative need for a change in the currency world to accommodate these events. If such a change is not made, the currency world will see major structural fractures that will hurt the stability of the global economy, dramatically.

As you have seen from our work on this subject over the last few months and will see as this picture forms, major changes are inevitable. The question is, will they come about through a civilized adjustment or must confrontation and unilateral moves be needed?

Caveat
We issue a warning in case this should happen; the entire currency world will be thrown off balance by such a move and every currency on this planet will feel the reverberations of such a devaluation and for some time to come. If it happens in a civilized manner, it will still happen ‘overnight’ and catch us all by surprise. If confrontation is involved, add fear and trepidation to that surprise.

Interrelationships of Currencies.
Global currencies are not independent of each other. Yes, each currency is run independently and reflects the overall state of the Balance of Payments of each country. Despite G-8 assurances that ‘competitive devaluations’ will not be undertaken by those bodies, by far the bulk of global currencies ‘encourage’ their exchange rates to retain the global competitiveness of that currency through the adjustment of interest rates and more directly occasionally by the buying and selling of that currency in the foreign exchanges. Switzerland, Canada and Japan are good examples of this. Some nations, such as China, control the flow of funds through the exchange rate with Capital Controls too. Global trade is the cement that binds currencies together, allowing Capital flows to adjust many Balance of Payments. So if the globe’s major reserve currency is devalued, no-one will escape the impact on their daily lives.

For example, if the $ is devalued against the €, 30%, an Airbus will be that much more expensive than the Boeing equivalent. An import from China [the Yuan is pegged to the $] will also drop in foreign currency prices by 30%, but remain the same in the U.S. $.

Unless other nations retaliate by devaluing their currencies by a similar amount, they will find their Balance of Payments skewed as though they revalued their currency by that amount against the U.S. $.

Alternative currency, or stay with the U.S. $?
So what should a local investor do? The obvious move is to get out of the $ before it happens, if you believe it will happen. Of course, it is quite a gamble to take to stay in the $ while the threat persists. At what point is prudence, gambling?

Many have not thought through the Chinese rhetoric of the last few months as they spoke of a “Basket of Currencies” being the shape of their reserves [which currently have $2 trillion amassed to date]. This implies that China will accumulate the currencies of the nations with whom they trade and stop using the U.S. $ as the intermediary currency for their global trade. Right now, ask a price of a product from a Chinese exporter and you will receive a U.S.$ price. But systems are being practiced now to price both in the Yuan and in the currency of the Importer. [This does not imply that the $ will be sold by the Chinese]

These changes are already bringing tremendous uncertainty to the global economy as we have seen economic conditions flow feely from one country to another through the banking systems. So where do you go? Some investors felt that one was safe with a respected currency such as the Swiss Franc, until that government dropped their interest rate and sold Swiss Francs into the market. This dropped the exchange rate of the ‘Swissy’ sufficiently to squash the thought that it would prove a haven from a falling $/€. Likewise, for a generation, the Yen has been adjusted to the U.S. $ with capital moving out when the Yen was strong and exports leaving the country when the Yen was weak. So is there a currency that one can rely on to preserve wealth? Not one that will ride through all storms! All currencies will see a buckling or a burgeoning at some point in time, demanding that prudence makes us traders in currencies.

And Gold…?
The markets have decided that it is time for gold to begin to rise again as it breaks out through its $943 level. Is this fear of a $ devaluation? The $ has buckled through the $1.42 level, a level we have not seen for some time. We can say that it is falling in line with the $, but is a fear of devaluation out there? We have heard from three qualified sources that something like this is afoot. Timing is critical, because of the potential impact of such a move. A question that has to be asked is, “Is it wise to hold the $ in such a currency climate?” At the moment the $ has recovered and gold has apparently lost strength to pull back to $930, but even a fall to $920 will leave it the potential to break up any time now. Likewise the $ recovered to the $1.41 area against the €, but this has not meant it has turned up again.

We won’t say that the $ is falling because of the devaluation rumor, but we do say that it is falling because more and more investors of capital back into the States are slowing their flows and in some cases selling their investments there [excluding China]. It is also possible that this trickle will become a stream out of the country, something that will shake the currency markets substantially. As the fundamentals favor this climate, so the pressure on the $ will rise and move us towards an unstable global currency market.

It would be naïve to think that the globe could place national interests above global ones and place instability at home rather than abroad. So at some stage we do expect a very sharp fall in the U.S. $, but when it is in the interests of $ reserve holders to do so only! To precipitate the fall through a sudden large devaluation would bring a semblance of stability in place of massive currency turmoil. So it could happen!

Goldman Sachs Scandal and Cover-Up

Why doesn’t the MSM report more on this? America does not have a free press. The press in only free to report on things like whether Britney Spears wears panties or not, adulterous scandals, Paris Hilton’s sex video, trivil crap….etc… The MSM is owned by 6 large corporations which in turn are owned by people who own the banks ie banksters.
Bob Moriarty has this to say about the MSM :

….That’s an example of how total the distortion is in the news media in the United States. First of all, 96% of the news media is controlled by six people. Their vested interest is not in telling the truth; their vested interest is in selling products. What we call the news media is really better termed a propaganda media. It’s all propaganda.
Wayne Jett writes about the Goldman Sachs case :

Manipulative Software Codes
“The incident” was revelation that Goldman Sachs has created and is using computer software secret codes capable of manipulating prices and trading in financial markets worldwide. Goldman has used the secret codes to take gains of hundreds of millions of dollars out of financial markets. Goldman’s computers may actually intercept trading data – real-time buy and sell orders in financial markets – so the secret codes can react in micro-seconds to “front-run” those orders in ways profitable to Goldman.

Front-running of investor orders is a fraudulent, deceptive and manipulative trading tactic. This is a felony under federal securities laws, if the SEC chooses to investigate and to prosecute it. Information disclosed at the July 4 federal court hearing is highly suggestive of criminal wrong-doing – almost a prima facie case of violation of securities laws – but further investigation is necessary to gather evidence and prove the case, if there is one. But, so far as can be determined, no investigation is occurring and none is contemplated. Mainstream media ignore the matter, as does Congress.
…
The Cover-Up
Front-running of buy and sell transactions, if done by an individual broker or investor in a single transaction, is manipulative, fraudulent and a criminal violation of securities laws. Yet, not a word to that effect has been uttered about Goldman’s conduct by the SEC, the Justice Department or mainstream media. On the contrary, within two weeks after its July 4 embarrassment, Goldman Sachs reasserted its domination of U. S. government and expressed itself through compliant media.

On July 6, the New York Times reported the Goldman Sachs software incident more thoroughly than the Wall Street Journal would report it the following day. The Times described the software taken as “proprietary, ‘black box’ computer programs that Goldman uses to make lucrative, rapid-fire trades,” and reported that the software generated “many millions of dollars of profits per year.” The Times said the Assistant U. S. Attorney asserted the codes “posed a risk to United States financial markets” and told the court Goldman Sachs had “raised the possibility that there is a danger that somebody who knew how to use this program could use it to manipulate markets in unfair ways.” (Emphasis added.)

Having recorded these serious concerns, the Times promptly dropped the subject and reverted to silence. Then the Times proceeded to report Goldman’s stellar earnings, bonuses and savviness, and to rehabilitate the Goldman image.

So much for the “liberal” organ of Wall Street. What about its compatriot publication which works the “conservative” side for the Street?

The Wall Street Journal reported on July 7 the arrest of Goldman’s software officer charged with “stealing codes related to a high-speed trading program.” Somehow the Journal missed what the Times had already reported: the codes could be used to manipulate financial markets in the U. S. and abroad, and Goldman was using the codes to make millions.

On July 15, the Journal explained Goldman’s astonishingly high profits as flowing from “revving up risk” – again no mention of front-running trades, but reiteration of Goldman’s reputation as “one of the savviest on Wall Street.” By July 21, the Journal carried commentary imploring readers they should not hate Goldman Sachs “for making money,” while mentioning only the $3.44 billion in net earnings during the second quarter. The commentary did not mention the “secret codes” which raked in hundreds of millions from trading at the expense of other unsuspecting investors.

This journalistic excellence culminated in a lengthy puff-piece in New York Magazine in which the software codes capable of manipulating financial markets, the software producing “millions and millions” in profits for Goldman – indeed, the software capable of front-running every buy and sell order on every financial exchange in the world – warrants a mention only in two paragraphs on page six of eight pages. Prior to that point, Goldman is described as “tenacious” and “misunderstood,” and shortly thereafter Goldman is given opportunity to announce the firm is “painfully conscious … of the importance of being a force for good.”

Wretched Realism
The “secret codes” episode provides teaching and learning opportunities on the topic of “elite media” in the U. S. The elite media call themselves the mainstream media. They determine what is acceptable as reported news, but they make their determination according to desires of the elite few who dominate them through influence of the great capital pools of Wall Street. The elite media are elitist because they do the bidding of elitists.

The SEC and CFTC, the Treasury and Federal Reserve, the White House and Congress – all are aligned in the same direction as if sensing powerful magnetic forces. If evidence of wholesale fraud and robbery of middle class capital can be totally submerged without so much as full reporting by press, much less commentary by political or regulatory officials, some would say the U. S. government cannot survive. As that fate is pondered, the truth may surface that elected leadership has already fallen to a coup d’état, so Goldman Sachs and its legions of investment bankers have become, in reality, Masters of the Universe. ~
