The Truth is Online
Subject: HAARP (High- frequency Active Auroral Research Program)
Episode(s): "Skybusters" (Topps Comic issue #34)
Episode synopsis: Mulder
and Scully head to Alaska to investigate a series of raven attacks on people.
All four of the victims work at Project HAARP. The agents visit the
project and talk to Lewis Montgomery, the project's 
director.
He tells them HAARP is a research project designed to investigate the affects
of electronically heating the ionosphere. He also the agents they hope
to be able to use the system to find mineral deposits, and operate satellites
safely in that region. Scully and Mulder ask about the danger to the ionosphere,
as it is a shield for the Earth to deadly radiation. She is rebuked by
the director. After talking to the director, The sheriff alerts Mulder
and Scully to two more victims of raven attacks who also work for HAARP.
The woman who found the latest victims tells Mulder and Scully about the
military uses for the HAARP project, including particle beams, energy shields,
weather disruption, and disruption of microwave signals. She also tells
them about how the HAARP signals interfere with living cells causing mutations.
Later they meet a native-american who tells them the story of how raven
created the Earth and was the first woman. He surmises that the raven is
now getting revenge on man who is treating the Earth so poorly. Mulder
sees the tale as in the Gaia theory, which treats the whole Earth as a
living organism. Scully agrees the raven attacks were brought on by HAARP,
but for purely scientific reasons. As the agents confront the director
with their findings, the ravens attack. The birds carry Montgomery away
and leave the agents relatively unscathed. Scully says the frequencies
HAARP works on affects the human brain, and those changes in the people
are what caused the ravens to attack. (like dogs who can "smell fear").
They story ends with congressional funding being cut, but the program continuing
with grants from unknown sources to the Universities involved with the
program.
The Truth: The
military in conjunction with the University of Alaska has built a HAARP
facility in south-central Alaska. The military says the HAARP program will
enhance civilian and defense communications and surveillance. Detractors
of the
operation have grave concerns over other uses of the technology and what
it could inadvertently due to the environment.
HAARP technology essentially electrically
heats the ionosphere, a level of the atmosphere which blocks various harmful
radio lengths.
Researchers have found that those
working on the project have some insidious plans for the technology. They
include the ability to shut down all communication anywhere on the globe,
including aircraft navigation systems in in-flight; weather control; and
mind control. The environmental factor is another concern. In the past
100 years we have poured a great deal of electromagnetic energy (radio
waves) into the atmosphere, how much more can the atmosphere take
before it starts to break down? Also some of the applications such as using
the it as a giant Ray machine for any site on the planet operate on the
same frequencies as to living organisms (people, fish, mammals, and so
forth). What are the health affects that could come from this?
