HAARP

Rate this book
The HAARP project in Alaska is one of the most controversial projects ever undertaken by the U.S. Government. Jerry Smith gives us the history of the HAARP project and explains how works, in technically correct yet easy to understand language. At best, HAARP is science out-of-control; at worst, HAARP could be the most dangerous device ever created, a futuristic technology that is everything from super-beam weapon to world-wide mind control device. Topics include Over-the-Horizon Radar and HAARP, Mind Control, ELF and HAARP, The Telsa Connection, The Russian Woodpecker, GWEN & HAARP, Earth Penetrating Tomography, Weather Modification, Secret Science of the Conspiracy, more. Includes the complete 1987 Eastlund patent for his pulsed super-weapon that he claims was stolen by the HAARP Project.

Those damn conspiracy theorists are up to something again, spreading fear and vitriol agaiainst something that could be one of the most useful tools on earth. Aside from learning a few things about radio frequencies and the russian woodpecker signal, I did not enjoy reading this book and could not finish reading it. HAARP may well be as dangerous as it says, but every line in this book is drenched in extreme paranoia. Aside from thiat, the book is from 1998, when cell phones were just coming out. Not reccomended.

Książka przeczytana z obowiązku. Mam wrażenie, że albo tak książka to bardzo kiepskie tłumaczenie albo autor jest na bakier z podstawową wiedzą z elektrotechniki. Wisienka na torcie tej książki to końcówka. Autor totalnie odlatuje w sferę teorii spiskowych. Książki zdecydowanie nie polecam.

A work colleague lent this to me, as a bit of a joke, I suspect. I may have mentioned that I'm a big Robert Anton Wilson fan, so maybe he figured I would be intrigued by this conspiracy theory.

Smith's book centers around the H.A.A.R.P. (that's "High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program--I know...I hadn't heard of it either) installation in Alaska. The U.S. government and the Air Force are claiming that it's a facility for studying the ionosphere and aurora borealis. Smith posits that the Conspiracy (yep, he spells it with a capital "C", as in one all-powerful group, like the Illuminati) are using it for much more sinister deeds...mind control, radio-wave black-outs--even..*gasp*..weather control!

It's certainly an interesting topic, but unfortunately, Smith's writing seems so dull that I was wondering if he were part of the Conspiracy, sent to numb my brain with his prose. He refers to inventor Nikola Tesla as a "mad scientist" and speculates that a machine of Tesla's may have caused the Tunguska Explosion, which happened in 1908. H.A.A.R.P. is mainly an extension of Tesla's work, according to Smith...which means we're all in trouble--y'know, if you believe that.

This seems to be the type of book where you keep waiting for the aliens to appear...and sure enough, Smith spins off into a bit about the "Face On Mars" for a few pages, about three-quarters of the way through. He also regurgitates the "Nazi scientists working for the U.S. after WWII" stories and the government experiments on unwitting soldiers in the 1960s and 90s ("Gulf War Syndrome")--both of which do add some credibility to his theories. No hollow-earth stuff, but the publisher of "H.A.A.R.P.", Adventures Unlimited Press, has plenty of books on that, if you're interested.

I suppose I learned a few things I didn't know about radio frequencies and about Nikola Tesla, but for a book with just over 230 pages, I found it a bit of a slog. The book was published in 1998 and Smith (to my knowledge) hasn't followed it up yet. I strongly suspect he's gloating about the Asian tsunami of 2004 and global warming in general, saying "I told you so..it's the Conspiracy and H.A.A.R.P." Uh-huh. In a weird synchro-mesh--Muse (the band) have titled their new live DVD "HAARP"...maybe they're part of the Conspiracy as well...

How could such an interesting subject be so tedious to read. Good Lord. Also it's very old now, and can I find any updated books on this subject?? No.

Seriously. I wouldn't bother wading through this. The science is spurious - sweeping comments with precious little back up, assumptions made from unverified "facts".

There must be a better book on this out there somewhere!

Also it took me blooming ages to read it.

If you've gone through Cathy Obrien's work, this will take off where the Reagan administration left off leaving you with more questions about the summit; and definition of host. Also an uncanny understanding of your own power and a desire not to join NASA and talk with E.T just because you'll miss all your 'friends'....

Lots of technical stuff like electric frequencies and the experiments of Nicola Tesla. Who knows what this stuff is really about, but it's fun to speculate. Lots of the book is about conspiracy theories in general and less so about HAARP itself.
