This whole transcript is very disturbing.
According to the EU the Americans have f*cked up the Van Allen belt for the next few hundred years!
Since the early '50s, the U.S. in the Van Allen belts nuclear material detonated to investigate the effects of nuclear explosions at such high altitudes because of the electromagnetic pulses during the explosion, had for the transmission of radio signals and operation of radar. This created new radiation belts almost the whole earth. The electrons move along magnetic field lines over the Arctic and created an artificial aurora. The danger is that the Van Allen belt arising from these military trials of serious and prolonged disruption is. The magnetic field of the earth over large areas can be disturbed so that radio communications impossible. According to U.S. scientists can take hundreds of years for the Van Allen belt to return to normal.

The reason no one us united against HAARP is because it isn't a weapon and doesn't control the weather. Despite what the EU in 1999 may have thought HAARP is harmless and, although it does have military applications, those applications have absolutely nothing to do with being a weather controlling death ray.
What is going on here is called an argument from authority and it works like this:
Some people in the EU in the 90s thought HAARP was a weapon therefore HAARP is probably a weapon.
Without evidence to support the conclusion the words of the authority are essentially useless and potentially misleading.edit on 28-12-2010 by Titen-Sxull because: (no reason given)

From the article:
Similar experiments are also conducted in Norway, probably in the Antarctic, but also in the former Soviet Union (23).
Remember this was way back in 1999

In addition, by bouncing signals off the ionosphere at at altitude of 100km, HAARP has been able to create Extremely Low Frequency, or ELF, waves as low as 1 Hertz, which can potentially be used for worldwide communication including reaching submarines, though at an almost uselessly slow data rate. But before you conclude that these ELF waves might be used for creating earthquakes, note that the maximum ELF signal amplitude produced by HAARP has been measured at less than one ten-millionth of the Earth's natural background field.

Well actually it's what the University of Alaska tells me.
But that's neither her nor there, fact is we've only got what we've got to work on and I'll go with that rather than making up fairy tales.
There are several other similar research stations around the world, namely the Sura facility in Russia, EISCAT in Norway, the Arecibo observatory in Puerto Rico, and the HIPAS observatory near Fairbanks, operated by UCLA.
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 miles higher than the highest atmospheric weather systems.
Communication and navigation signals are sent through the atmosphere for a broad range of civilian and military purposes.
But before you conclude that these ELF waves might be used for creating earthquakes, note that the maximum ELF signal amplitude produced by HAARP has been measured at less than one ten-millionth of the Earth's natural background field.
So if HAARP is so anticlimactically mundane, why all the conspiracy theories?
OK, but you didn't tell me what's at Pine Gap..
BTW, If I had a sneaky weapon I'd set up something like the Alaska site and let everyone see what it does..
But what of all the other sites we know little or nothing about.??
It's not about what that particular site can do. It's what the technology can do, that is the big question...
