What's that called when you attempt to discredit the source and don't even bother to address the information presented?

Oh ya, its the classic "ad hominem" logical fallacy.
Care to prove it?

Heya OP.. I don't know about some of the more interesting and wild claims about HAARP or what it was ever intended to do, but the graphic the source story used is accurate enough.
Oh great. A third hand quote.
“You can,” says Eastlund, “virtually lift part of the upper atmosphere. You can make it move, do things to it.”
Raising a selected region of plasma is not affecting the height of the ionosphere.
As he did his computations, he realized the amount of energy he was dealing with was enormous. He calculated that once the waves reached the ionosphere, they would interact powerfully with the charged particles trapped there.
The position of the jet stream is controlled by the atmosphere below it.
How much lifting could HAARP do? Got any data on that? Boiling, that's a pretty silly word to use.
So what impact does lifting, raising, bubbling, boiling, displacing sections of the ionosphere have?
Because that is the amount of power required by the system described in the patent.
And what is the point of contrasting 10 nuclear power plants with 5 diesel generators when ionospheric reactions are non-linear?
And the location of jet streams is determined by what happens in the troposphere. Jet streams are not steered from above, altering the ionosphere does not affect the the location of jet streams. Jet streams do not cause weather.
The world does not begin and end in the troposphere. Weather, as we see it, manifests there.
A jet stream forms high in the upper troposphere between two air masses of very different temperature. The greater the temperature difference between the air masses, the faster the wind blows in the jet stream.
Contrary to popular belief, the jet stream does not "cause" weather conditions of a certain type to occur. Its existence is instead the result of certain weather conditions (a large temperature contrast between two air masses).
Among the more fascinating features of upper-air circulations are discontinuous bands of relatively strong winds (usually in excess of 30 metres per second) called jet streams. As with other wind fields that increase with increasing height, jet streams can be explained as an application of the thermal-wind equation. They are located above areas of particularly strong temperature gradients--e.g., frontal zones.
"I've been doing meteorology for 30 years and the jet stream the last three years has done stuff I've never seen," said Jeff Masters, meteorology director at the private service Weather Underground. "The fact that the jet stream is unusual could be an indicator of something. I'm not saying we know what it is."
Excerpt from an upcoming book on Earth Changes by SOTT.net Editor Pierre Lescaudron:
"Solar activity induces a compression in the ionosphere, which is more prominent at the level of the equator. This equatorial compression of the positively charged ionosphere ‘pushes’ the positively charged polar jet stream towards the north. Conversely, weak solar activity ‘decompresses’ the ionosphere at the level of the equator and allows the jet stream to move south, towards the decompressed equator.
The results of a superposed epoch analysis of high-level cloud cover
point to a link between the solar wind, the auroral ionosphere and
tropospheric weather.
In the nighttime, the ionosphere was lifted by 30 to 50 km through continuously upward expansion, resulting in the drop of the electron density in the bottomside of the ionosphere in time.
Yes. Because the troposphere has been doing so.
The jet stream has been doing some funny stuff.
The Arctic is generally colder than mid-latitudes, and it is this difference in temperature that propels the west-to-east river of fast moving air known as the jet stream. This atmospheric feature tends to follow a wavy path as it flows around the northern hemisphere between about 30ºN and 60ºN, (at an a altitude where jets fly, hence the name). As high latitudes warm more than mid latitudes, however, this north-south temperature difference weakens, which has two impacts on the jet stream.
There is a definite link between jet streams the the troposphere. Conditions in the troposphere determine the location (and intensity) of jet streams.
During the data gathering process some surprising links between the troposphere (weather) and the jet stream and the ionosphere (auroras) are coming to light.
No. He wasn't.
Eastlund was spot on with his assessment of ionospheric heating capabilities i.e. altering the jet stream; lifting the ionosphere; modifying and creating weather.

The satellite infrared (IR) images of clouds are used to identify mesoscale band cloud structure that is indicative of gravity waves.
The article about atmospheric gravity waves being propagated downward through the stratosphere and affecting cloud formation is interesting though somewhat speculative. It's the only example of research indicating a downward coupling that I've run across.
The ray tracing results (not shown) of the downward energy flux of AGWs with a period of 40 min indicate that AGWs with a horizontal wavelength ~150 km would reach the troposphere at a horizontal distance ~1000 km from an ionospheric source about 5 hours after being launched. This is approximately consistent with the band separation, horizontal distance from the suggested AGW source over central Alaska, and the time of appearance of cloud bands A-C over the Gulf of Alaska, respectively. It is noted that the cloud bands formed in the region of an opposing (cyclonic upper-level wind (cimss.ssec.wisc.edu...) of a magnitude comparable with the ray-traced gravity wave phase velocity. Once formed, the bands progressed poleward and were distorted by the counter-clockwise winds of the
vortex.
It is suggested that the triplet of bands A-C was formed by gravity waves launched by the ionospheric convection pulses.

Wait, I looked at your links. I must have missed the one that explains how HAARP modified the weather.
Unless you have to "extrapolate" some hidden meaning from each article.
(please pay attention to the way you wrote that sentence. It's almost like you wanted to display it as a fact or something.)
This paper is trying to show that the more powerful AGWs propogate from the ionosphere to the troposphere. This while their motion is horizontal.
No. Rising warm air is what forms storm clouds. It is saying that cloud bands indicate the presence of gravity waves. Like this:
In your opinion, is the following statement saying that gravity waves create the conditions necessary for storm clouds?
There is nothing in there about cosmic rays. Oh, I see, you think ray-tracing has to do with cosmic rays. No, it's a mathematical method of analyzing waveform propagation.
I think the papers are out there - just cloaked. For instance, this statement (even as it tries for some vague link to cosmic rays or...):
Then why does it spend so much time talking about the high speed solar wind and making no mention of HAARP?
Seems to be pointing a finger at HAARP. Particularly where a paragraph or so earlier they say:
I say, that as usual, you use your lack of understanding to twist the actual science to fit your world view. You should try a different approach, taking the time and making the effort to understand what the science actually says. Then you can take the next step.
What do you say?
And the one previous to that. In the recent past, less powerful acoustic gravity waves (AGWs) have been shown to propogate from the troposphere to the ionosphere. This paper is trying to show that the more powerful AGWs propogate from the ionosphere to the troposphere.
