Alaska's HAARP project blamed for Russian space probe's failureAlaska News & FeaturesForget mind control, weather manipulation and the various other sinister capabilities ascribed to Alaska's High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) transmitter by the agitated, conspiracy-minded among us. A former Russian general has now apparently blamed the sometimes controversial radio facility outside Gakona for zapping that country's mission to snatch seven ounces of soil from the Martian moon Phobos. The Phobos-Grunt probe was headed into space on Nov. 9 when a rocket failed to boost it into higher orbit, marking the 19th failed attempt by the Russians to mount a successful mission to the Red Planet. Its $163 million demise -- the probe is expected to crash to Earth in January -- triggered outrage in Russia, including a call for criminal prosecution by Russia President Dmitry Medvedev. "The probe itself has since communicated only sporadically with ground stations, and even then it has murmured only unintelligible noise," notes Jim Nash, in this detailed post on Scientific American. But Lt. Gen. Nikolay Rodionov, a former commander of Russia's ballistic missile systems, says covert U.S. radio beams -- not any Russian screw-ups -- scrubbed the interplanetary trip. "In a November 24 interview with the Russian news agency Interfax, Rodionov said 'powerful American radar' in Alaska 'could have influenced the control systems of our interplanetary rover,'" Nash wrote in his post: Rodionov was quoted saying the U.S. wants to use the ionosphere as part of its missile defense, although he did not elaborate. A subsequent article in India's The Hindu expanded on Rodionov's statement, indicating that he was likely referring to the U.S.'s (HAARP) observatory established in 1993. As many Alaskans know, HAARP is a research facility on the Tok Cutoff northeast of Glennallen, used periodically by scientists from 14 different universities to tickle and analyze the ionosphere. A couple times a year, they power up its 180 antennas transmitters and beam radio energy skyward in various controlled experiments aimed at improving radio communication or researching the properties of the Earth’s near-space zones. See the HAARP FAQ for more. HAARP last operated on Sept. 3 and wasn't turned on when the probe conked out, according to program director Craig Selcher, with the Air Force Research Laboratory, at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M. Even if HAARP had been turned on, a full-power blast would have kissed the Phobos-Grunt rocket with about 1.03 milliwatts of radio energy per square centimeter -- about the same as pointing a 60-watt lightbulb at it from about 69 feet away, he told Nash. Nash's detailed story has much more info and many great links. The Internet also lit up with this latest HAARP tidbit, perhaps exhibiting the facility's true power. Contact Doug O'Harra at doug(at)alaskadispatch.com Older technologies aimed at creating paranoia in the general population were successfully neutralized by tin foil hats. The real advance of the HAARP system is that it can penetrate the foil to induce paranoia in the wearer. The effects on weather are secondary, although winds can remove foil from heads. Modern Alaskans wear wool hats to successfully shield themselves from the HAARP effects, although fur is better. An unfortunate side effect of fur hats is to create angst in a certain percentage of the population in proximity to the wearer, causing them to open their mouths and make statements condemning the use of fur. The EPA is looking into the long-term effects on the atmosphere from the bleating of sheep during shearing, which could be the ultimate consequence of the HAARP project. Hey, you gotta blame someone, and HAARP looks like a great target. The fact that it wasn't turned on is just a detail that shouldn't get in the way of someone covering his A**. HAARP operates in the MIND CONTROL portion of the radiation spectrum. This story is testimonial, for everyone to see, of the necessity of foil hats. Research shows that Aluminum ones often fail to provide complete protection, but we have a special offer on our always classy, perfect for every occasion, and laboratory tested gold models. They are available in three styles: pointed, fat, and extra ventilated for blonds. Order yours today. Remember, to foil MIND CONTROL, YOU NEED GOLD. holy gamma rays , batman! |
