(fred burks article about HAARP)
HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is a little-known, yet critically important U.S. military defense program which has generated quite a bit of controversy over the years in certain circles.
Though denied by HAARP officials, some respected researchers allege that secret electromagnetic warfare capabilities of HAARP are designed to forward the US military’s stated goal of achieving full-spectrum dominance by the year 2020. Others go so far as to claim that HAARP can and has been used for weather modification, to cause earthquakes and tsunamis, to disrupt global communications systems, and more.
Major aspects of the program are kept secret for alleged reasons of “national security.” Yet there is no doubt that HAARP and electromagnetic weapons capable of being used in warfare do exist. According to the official HAARP website, “HAARP is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on being able to understand and use it to enhance communications and surveillance systems for both civilian and defense purposes.” The ionosphere is the delicate upper layer of our atmosphere which ranges from about 30 miles (50 km) to 600 miles (1,000 km) above the surface of the Earth.

Let me ask you a few things. How does HAARP affect weather worldwide by heating a small portion of the ionosphere? Weather is produced in the troposphere, miles above the ionosphere. HAARP also is only able to affect the area directly above it, so how does affecting this small patch of the atmosphere create floods in Pakistan and earthquakes in China? [/qu
I guess you didnt read my post. I gave you a website of information. And with the power of HAARP i am very sure they can port the waves in whatever freakin direction they want. I cant wait till you are caught in a HAARP disaster. then you will realize that what i have told you is true and i will say you should have listened in the first place.

He asked you a simple question, it deserves an answer, pointing towards the website doesn't count.
You need to explain your position.
I don't like your thread title, but I thought you were taking a lot of unwarranted 'heat'.
But if you can't have an intelligent conversation about it, and be civil.
He asked you a couple questions, relevant to your topic, why are disparaging him?

HAARP can affect the weather wherever it is aimed at and yes they have the technology to aim the waves in different positions. you say that troposphere is miles below the ionosphere right. well explain to me that if you are heating up the ionosphere arent you also heating up the troposphere as you heat up the ionosphere?
that makes perfect since to me and yes i am taking way too much unwarranted heat but i will stand my ground and give the information i have. Im no scientist and i dont know how most of HAARP works but i know enough to know that its not something i want to be on the bad side of.
Sadly for the conspiracy theorists, HAARP has no potential to affect weather. The frequency of energy that HAARP transmits cannot be absorbed by the troposphere or the stratosphere, only by the ionosphere, many kilometers higher than the highest atmospheric weather systems.

Are we still doing HAARP threads? Do some research, guys.

Another question, if HAARP can control the weather by heating a small portion of the atmosphere how does it manage to supersede the Sun's ability to control the weather. You said that all natural disasters are now caused by HAARP, but the Sun heats the entire atmosphere and to a much larger extent than HAARP. So, then shouldn't the Sun trump any abilities HAARP may have?
HAARP consists of an observatory and an adjacent 28-acre field with 180 HF (high frequency) antennas, each 72 feet tall, with a maximum transmission power of 3600 kilowatts, about 75 times the power of a commercial radio station, but only a tiny fraction of the strength of the natural solar radiation striking the same part of the ionosphere at which HAARP is aimed. Although the observatory operates continuously, the HF antenna array is activated only rarely for specific experiments, which average about once a month. Sadly for the conspiracy theorists, HAARP has no potential to affect weather. The frequency of energy that HAARP transmits cannot be absorbed by the troposphere or the stratosphere, only by the ionosphere, many kilometers higher than the highest atmospheric weather systems. The ionosphere is created and replenished daily by solar radiation. At night, the level of ionization drops quickly to very low levels at lower altitudes of 50 to 100 miles, but at higher altitudes over 200 miles it takes most of the night for the ionization to disperse. During the night, when the natural ionosphere is minimal, HAARP is capable of creating a weak artificial aurora that can actually be observed by sensitive cameras at the observatory, though they are far too faint for the naked eye. During the daytime, solar radiation ionizes the ionosphere so powerfully that HAARP's weak artificial effects are the proverbial drop in the bucket, and are erased almost immediately when the transmitter is turned off.
i dont know how most of HAARP works

Finally the OP has said something we can all agree with.
This post has been absurd.
You come in here and demand that HAARP be shut down. You offer no evidence that HAARP can do any of the things you claim it can do and even admit ignorance as to "most" of how HAARP works YET continue to make absurd claims. Whenever someone sets you straight as to the actual facts you merely dismiss their evidence and continue believing whatever drivel you've been fed on conspiracy sites and television shows. Your argument can be summed up with this:
