Conditioned to accept that ‘all is well’ or, that we are powerless to affect change in a world dis-integrating before our eyes – we conduct our lives until one day it affects us directly – unfortunately by then it’s far too late.
Ask the people of northern Japan how they feel about the last three sentences and the answers they now seek in the aftermath of unimaginable loss and yet another future generation desecrated and ravaged by nuclear radiation.

HAARP can't create earthquakes. HAARP is a radio antenna array, a high powered one, but that is all it is, nothing mystical o r world changing.edit on 23-3-2011 by phishyblankwaters because: (no reason given)

Not that I disagree, but this kind of technology is capable of (at least in theory) "atmospheric loading." Building up a radio wave harmonic charge in the upper atmosphere, altering the dynamics of the system (at least locally, as far as I know.)
what is important is even if that were so, who would have the will to use it, and why?
I suspect that one of the reasons for the 'security' aspect of HAARP is because of the potential it has for ELF communications... which could be essential for real-time submarine communications.

Ah, there's no such thing as a radio wave harmonic charge. Radio waves don't carry charge. "Harmonic" in engineering terms merely implies that the frequency used is an integer multiple or even integer fraction in the case of sub-harmonics of some other frequency, which used in this context doesn't seem to apply.

Well, to study the ionosphere and lower magnetosphere. And of course, there's lots of communication related military possibilities to learn about. And do. Or prevent from doing. C3I interdiction is your friend, unless you need to establish your own comm links then C3I facilitation is your friend.

Navy doesn't use ELF for submarine notification messages any more, hasn't since 2004.edit on 23-3-2011 by Bedlam because: (no reason given)

The question is, is it still a bluff? Can HAARP actually do these things, or are they just trying to convince hostile nations that it can do these things by openly accusing the US of it being able to do these things.
I don't see this as a crack in the facade, rather a way to strengthen the position.

I think the point was more along the lines of this:
Would this be considered "Breaking News"?

Command and Control Communications mania prevailed in the 70's and 80's - especially considering the theater of the 'cold war.' But I wasn't referring to that, I was referring to any notional nefarious use for it.
Better now? I seem to get the impression you are trying to make a point.

The Digital Cable Act swept into legislation to balance the budget when HAARP was ready to go fully operational doesn't actually look to Kosher to me...

Briefly, the radio signal 'storage' (so to speak) came from a study done quite some time ago (which I now have to commit myself to find for you) if I am wrong about that, or maybe it was published as a theory and not fact, apologies. I will research further an at least u2u you with what I find.

It would very interesting to determine once and for all if HAARP has or can be used to manipulate the weather.
