Precautions against unconventional
arms must be intensified as potential terrorists develop
chemical and biological weapons and electromagnetic methods that
could create holes in the ozone layer or trigger earthquakes or
volcanoes.
– Former US Secretary of Defense William Cohen
speaking at the University of
Georgia, 1997
The devastating tsunami created December
26, 2004 by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake that killed more than 300,000
people on the shores of the Indian Ocean caught the world off guard.
It was the largest earthquake since the 9.2 magnitude Good Friday
Earthquake off Alaska in 1964, and ties for fourth largest since
1900.
The earthquake that struck the Indonesian island of Sumatra occurred
in a location geologists know is susceptible to powerful
earthquakes. The quake occurred along a “subduction zone,” in which
the Indian tectonic plate is being subducted, or pulled beneath, the
Burma tectonic platelet. The overlying plate jumped upward more than
4.5 meters, lifting the water above it and setting off the tsunami.
For some, the finger of blame doesn’t point squarely at nature but
at top secret military testing in the waters of the Indian Ocean.
The Egyptian weekly magazine Al-Osboa claimed the earthquake that
triggered the tsunami “was possibly” caused by an Indian nuclear
experiment in which “Israeli and American nuclear experts
participated”.
An Australian researcher, Joe Vialls,1
in his article “Did New York Orchestrate The Asian Tsunami?”
analyses how easy it would be to deliver “a multi-megaton
thermonuclear weapon to the bottom of the Sumatran Trench, and then
detonate it with awesome effect.”
Days after the disaster, Canadian Professor Michel Chossudovsky
wrote an article titled “Foreknowledge of A Natural Disaster:
Washington was aware that a deadly Tidal Wave was building up in the
Indian Ocean”.2
He noted,
“the US Navy was fully aware of the
deadly tidal wave, because the Navy was on the Pacific Warning
Centre’s list of contacts. Moreover, America’s strategic Naval
base on the island of Diego Garcia had also been notified.
Although directly in the path of the tidal wave, the Diego
Garcia military base reported ‘no damage’.”
“With modern communications, the information of an impending
disaster could have been sent around the world in a matter of
minutes, by email, by telephone, by fax, not to mention by live
satellite television,” he adds.
Others see the catastrophe as a ‘sign of
the times’ in which we live, and a portent of what is to come as the
Earth and humanity experience even more changes as part of the end
of a world cycle.
Natural
Earthquakes
Natural earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates
over the Earth’s mantle. Sandwiched between Earth’s crust and molten
outer core, the vast mantle accounts for 83 percent of the planet’s
volume. It is filled with solid rock but, heated by the core and by
its own radioactive decay, it circulates like a pot of impenetrable
soup. That circulation is the driving force behind the surface
motion of tectonic plates, which builds mountains and causes
earthquakes.
The destructive power of an earthquake comes from the momentum
gathered when two opposing “faults” or tectonic plates that may have
been locked together for decades, suddenly move apart. The result is
that solid rock which normally moves only with the passing of
geological ages accelerates briefly to 8000 kmh, unleashing huge
quantities of energy and creating a shaking movement of up to a
meter a second.
Most people consider earthquakes to be natural in origin, but what
if there was such a thing as man-made earthquakes? Well, there are.
There is the official version of what constitutes a man-made
earthquake, and then there is a body of suppressed research pointing
to a more insidious agenda.
Artificially-Induced Earthquakes
Officially, there is an area of research devoted to man-made
earthquakes. Geologists and seismologists agree earthquakes can be
induced in five major ways:
-
fluid injection into the Earth
-
fluid
extraction from the Earth
-
mining or quarrying
-
nuclear testing
-
through the construction of dams and reservoirs
In fact, there are officially recorded instances of earthquakes
caused by human activity.
Geologists discovered that disposal of waste fluids by means of
injecting them deep into the Earth could trigger earthquakes after a
series of quakes in the Denver area occurred from 1962-1965; the
periods and amounts of injected waste coincided with the frequency
and magnitude of quakes in the Denver area. The earthquakes were
triggered because the liquid, which was injected under very high
pressure, released stored strain energy in the rocks.
Man-made earthquakes may seem like something out of the X-Files, and
it’s probably only a matter of time before the idea is picked up by
Hollywood.
The plotline of Hammer of Eden, written by best-selling author
Ken
Follett, revolves around a terrorist group threatening to level San
Francisco with a man-made earthquake. When asked by Salon magazine
how real is the idea of a man-made earthquake, Follett replied that,
“Some of the seismologists told me,
‘There’s no way this could happen.’ But others gave sad little
shrugs and said, ‘It’s hard to say. Who knows? Maybe. It’s
within the realm of possibly.’”
Suppressed
Research: Tesla Technologies
Born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia,
Nikola Tesla is one of the 20th
century’s greatest scientists. A prodigious inventor of electronic
devices and pioneer of free energy, Tesla never gained the
recognition he deserved because his scientific breakthroughs were
deemed too ‘sensitive’ by the corporate and government powers of the
day.
In a book entitled
Tesla – The Lost Inventions, a section is headed
“Man-Made Earthquake”. It discloses Tesla’s fascination with the
power of resonance and how he experimented with it not only
electrically but on the mechanical plane as well. In his Manhattan
lab, Tesla built mechanical vibrators and tested their powers. One
experiment got out of hand.
Tesla attached a powerful little vibrator driven by compressed air
to a steel pillar. Leaving it there, he went about his business.
Meanwhile, down the street, a violent quaking built up, shaking down
plaster, bursting plumbing, cracking windows, and breaking heavy
machinery off its anchorages.
Tesla’s vibrator had found the resonant frequency of a deep sandy
layer of subsoil beneath his building, setting off a small
earthquake. Soon Tesla’s own building began to quake. It is reported
that just as the police broke into his lab, Tesla was seen smashing
the device with a sledge hammer, the only way he could promptly stop
it.
In a similar experiment, on an evening walk through the city, Tesla
attached a battery powered vibrator, described as being the size of
an alarm clock, to the steel framework of a building under
construction. He adjusted it to a suitable frequency and set the
structure into resonant vibration.
The structure shook, and so did the earth under his feet. Tesla
later boasted he could shake down the Empire State Building with
such a device. If this claim was not extravagant enough, he went on
to say a large-scale resonant vibration was capable of splitting the
Earth in half.
An article from the July 11, 1935 issue of the New York American
entitled ‘Tesla’s Controlled Earthquakes’, stated Tesla’s
“experiments in transmitting
mechanical vibrations through the Earth – called by him ‘the art
of telegeodynamics’ – were roughly described by the scientists
as a sort of controlled earthquake.”
The article quotes Tesla as saying:
The rhythmical vibrations pass
through the Earth with almost no loss of energy. It becomes
possible to convey mechanical effects to the greatest
terrestrial distances and produce all kinds of unique effects.
The invention could be used with destructive effect in war…
The January 1978 edition of Specula
magazine ran an article describing an incredibly profound phenomenon
that could be produced within the Earth by what is called the ‘Tesla
Effect.’
According to the article, electromagnetic signals of certain
frequencies can be transmitted through the Earth to form standing
waves in the Earth itself. In certain cases, coherence to this
standing wave can be induced wherein a fraction of the vast, surging
electromagnetic current of the Earth itself feeds into and augments
the induced standing wave.
In other words,
“much more energy is now present in
the standing wave than the ...amount being fed in from the
Earth’s surface.”
By interferometer techniques, giant
standing waves can be combined to produce a focused beam of very
great energy. This can then be used to produce earthquakes induced
at distant aiming points.
Tesla expressed grave concerns about the effects of this technology
because it is exactly the type of thing that could easily get out of
control once it begins vibrating within the Earth – and it could
actually cause the Earth to vibrate to pieces.
Another leading Tesla researcher and nuclear engineer, Lt. Col.
Thomas Bearden, lecturing at a Symposium of the
US Psychotronics
Association (USPA) in 1981, stated:
Tesla found that he could set up standing waves… in the Earth (the
molten core), or, just set it up through the rocks – the telluric
activity in the rocks would furnish activity into these waves and
one would get more potential energy in those waves than he put in.
He called the concept the Tesla Magnifying Transmitter (TMT).
Bearden goes on to explain how TMTs worked:
They will go through anything. What
you do is that you set up a standing wave through the Earth and
the molten core of the Earth begins to feed that wave (we are
talking Tesla now). When you have that standing wave, you have
set up a triode. What you’ve done is that the molten core of the
Earth is feeding the energy and it’s like your signal – that you
are putting in – is gating the grid of a triode…
Then what you do is that you change
the frequency. If you change the frequency one way (start to
dephase it), you dump the energy up in the atmosphere beyond the
point on the other side of the Earth that you focused upon. You
start ionizing the air, you can change the weather flow patterns
(jet streams etc) – you can change all that – if you dump it
gradually, real gradually – you influence the heck out of the
weather.
It’s a great weather machine. If you
dump it sharply, you don’t get little ionization like that. You
will get flashes and fireballs (plasma) that will come down on
the surfaces of the Earth… you can cause enormous weather
changes over entire regions by playing that thing back and
forth.
HAARP: The Pentagon’s
Ultimate Weapon
In an Arctic compound 450 kilometers east of Anchorage, Alaska, the
Pentagon has erected a powerful transmitter designed to beam more
than a gigawatt of energy into the upper reaches of the atmosphere.
Known as
Project HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research
Program), the experiment involves the world’s largest “ionospheric
heater,” a device designed to zap the skies hundreds of kilometers
above the Earth with high-frequency radio waves.
Why irradiate the charged particles of the ionosphere (which when
energized by natural processes make up the lovely and famous
phenomenon known as the Northern Lights)? According to the US Navy
and Air Force, co-sponsors of the project, “to observe the complex
natural variations of Alaska’s ionosphere.” As well, admit the
Pentagon, to develop new forms of communications and surveillance
technologies to enable the military to send signals to nuclear
submarines and to peer deep underground.
Ever since the existence of HAARP became public, a number of
independent researchers have warned the operation has a secret
agenda including weather modification, mind control, hi-tech
military experiments, and the triggering of earthquakes.
HAARP transmissions may also be used for the detection and
monitoring of electromagnetic or “plasma” phenomena, precursors of
seismic activity and tectonic movement. Researchers believe HAARP
transmissions are actually being used to activate or trigger exactly
the same electromagnetic conditions that can cause tectonic
movement.
Jerry Smith in his book
HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of the
Conspiracy, warns many atmospheric scientists working on the
secretive military project might be unaware of HAARP’s grave
potential to wreak havoc on the Earth.
He writes:
If HAARP is a TMT [Tesla Magnifying
Transmitter], and these researchers correctly understand Tesla’s
work, we could be in a lot of trouble. It is quite possible that
the scientists working on HAARP do not know what they are
playing with… Beyond that their ignorance might be compounded if
HAARP is indeed a secretive black-ops military project. The
military has devised a way of keeping secrets called
‘compartmentalisation’ where each unit knows only what it needs
to know… Only the control group knows what’s going on… If there
is a control group familiar with TMTs directing the actions of
scientists unschooled in Tesla technology, those lower level
operatives could be directed to wreak havoc with created weather
or manufactured earthquakes….
The key technology behind HAARP is the
brainchild of scientist Bernard Eastlund. Judging from his APTI
patent, Tesla was a major inspiration for Eastlund’s ionospheric
heater. A New York Times story, dated December 8, 1915, describes
one of Tesla’s ideas which are remarkably similar to Eastlund’s.3
In 1966, Professor Gordon J.F. MacDonald was associate director of
the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University
of California, Los Angeles, a member of the US President’s Science
Advisory Committee, and later a member of the US President’s Council
on Environmental Quality.
He published papers on the use of environmental-control technologies
for military purposes. MacDonald made a revealing comment:
“The key to geophysical warfare is
the identification of environmental instabilities to which the
addition of a small amount of energy would release vastly
greater amounts of energy.”
World-renowned scientist MacDonald
developed ideas for using the environment as a weapon system and he
contributed to what was, at the time, only in the wildest dream of a
futurist. When he wrote his chapter, “How To Wreck The Environment,”
for the book Unless Peace Comes, he was not kidding around. In it he
describes the use of weather manipulation, climate modification,
polar ice cap melting or destabilization, ozone depletion
techniques, earthquake engineering, ocean wave control and brain
wave manipulation using the planet’s energy fields.
He speculated these types of weapons would be developed and, when
used, would be virtually undetectable by their victims. Is HAARP one
such weapon?
In her book Planet Earth: The Latest Weapon of War, renowned
scientist and nuclear activist Dr. Rosalie Bertell says such
electromagnetic weapons,
“have the ability to transmit
explosive and other effects such as earthquake induction across
intercontinental distances to any selected target site on the
globe with force levels equivalent to major nuclear explosions.”
Her book explains that pulsed, extremely
low frequency (ELF) waves can be used to convey mechanical effects
and vibrations at great distances through the Earth.
Such manipulation of the Earth, she states, “has the capability to
cause disturbance of volcanoes and tectonic plates, which in turn,
have an effect on the weather,” creating storms and torrential rains
over an area. Anyone notice the world’s weather has been very
strange in recent months?
Beachings and
Seismic Tests
On November 28, 2004, Reuters reported that during a three day span,
169 whales and dolphins beached themselves in Tasmania, an island
off the southern coast of mainland Australia. The cause for these
beachings is not known, but Bob Brown, a senator in the Australian
parliament, said “sound bombing” or seismic tests of ocean floors to
test for oil and gas had been recently carried out near the sites of
the Tasmanian beachings.
According to Jim Cummings of the Acoustic Ecology Institute, seismic
surveys utilizing airguns have been taking place in mineral-rich
areas of the world’s oceans since 1968. Among the areas that have
experienced the most intense survey activity are the North Sea, the
Beaufort Sea (off Alaska’s North Slope), and the Gulf of Mexico;
areas around Australia and South America are also current hotspots
of activity.
The impulses created by the release of air from arrays of up to 24
airguns create low frequency sound waves powerful enough to
penetrate up to 40km below the seafloor. The “source level” of these
sound waves is generally over 200dB (and often 230dB or more),
roughly comparable to a sound of at least 140-170dB in air.
According to the Australian Conservation Foundation, these 200dB –
230dB shots from the airguns are fired every 10 seconds or so, from
10 meters below the surface, 24 hours a day, for 2 week periods of
time, weather permitting.
These types of tests are known to affect whales and dolphins, whose
acute hearing and use of sonar is very sensitive.
On December 24, 2004 there was a magnitude 8.1 earthquake more than
800 kilometers southeast of Tasmania near New Zealand, with a
subsequent aftershock 6.1 a little later in the morning that same
day.
Then on December 26 the magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck leading to
the devastating tsunami that killed more than 300,000 people.
On December 27, 20 whales beached themselves 180 kilometers west of
Hobart on the southern island state of Tasmania.
Interestingly, the locations of the whale beachings over the
previous 30 days correlates with the same general area struck by the
8.1 Australian earthquake. The seismic testing also took place in
the same area. Then two days after the Australian tectonic plate
shifted, the 9.0 earthquake shook the coast of Indonesia.
There is strong evidence suggesting oil exploration activities have
induced earthquakes in the past, although a link is yet to be
established in this case.
A paper “Seismicity in the Oil Field” by Russian academics admit,
“Scientists have observed that
earthquakes can be triggered by human action…. Some
geophysicists, including the authors of this article, believe
that if the natural tectonic regime had been taken into account
during the planning of hydrocarbon recovery, the earthquakes
might have been avoided.” 4
This is a sobering admission when we
consider that some geologists say the Australian quake was the
likely trigger for the Indonesian quake.
Sign of the
Times?
The death and devastation caused by major earthquakes around the
world can only worsen in years to come, as growing urban development
and unprecedented population growth compound the lethal effects of
natural and, as some researchers claim, man-made seismic hazards.
With the world’s population nearing an estimated 6.5 billion, there
are fewer unpopulated places for quakes to strike. And with ever
more people to accommodate, there is more multistoried construction
in vulnerable fault zones.
Frightening and controversial projects like HAARP, with applications
ranging from weather modification to mind control, should be of
great concern to us all. And most worrying is mounting evidence the
US military now has the ability to create earthquakes – the ultimate
weapon of war.
Was the earthquake of December 26 man-made or the result of natural
forces? There are many who believe such events are part of a cyclic
period of earth changes. Strange weather patterns, an increase in
earthquake activity, and natural disasters across the planet, are
anticipated at the end of major world cycles.
Christians often call attention to the Gospel account where
Jesus
says a sign of the end of the world age would be “earthquakes in
diverse places” (Matthew 24:7). Many believe this verse refers to
the times in which we live.
In traditional Hindu cosmology, we are now nearing the end of the
Kali Yuga which is the final and most negative of four evolutionary
cycles which are Satya Yuga (Golden Age), Treta Yuga (Silver Age),
Dwapara Yuga (Bronze Age), and Kali Yuga (Iron Age).
Similarly, the ancient Greeks traced the lineage of mankind through
five successive “ages” or “races” from the “Golden Age” to the
present “Iron Age.”
The Visuddhimagga, a compendium of Theravada Buddhist philosophy,
gives further details about the recurring cycles that destroy
mankind and cleanse the Earth. The text relates there are 64 world
destruction cycles in which the world perishes seven times by fire,
and an eighth time by water. This cycle of eight destructions
repeats itself seven times, and then at the end of the eighth cycle
the final destruction is by wind rather than water. Then the cycle
of 64 begins anew.
Man’s most ancient traditions tell us these cycles reflect the
creative process of the cosmos. The memories of a lost ‘Golden Age’,
found in all earthly cultures, point to a time in the distant past
when harmony and balance prevailed. This harmony is upset during the
Iron Age, which is prophesied to end amid a proliferation of
inverted spiritual values and rampant materialism, accompanied by
devastating natural disturbances.
Act of man or act of nature, the recent earthquake and tsunami may
indeed be another ‘sign of the times’ signalling the last days of
the present world order. We do well to recall the words of the
gifted French esotericist Rene Guenon:
This end only appears to be the “end
of the world,” without any reservation or specification of any
kind, to those who see nothing beyond the limits of this
particular cycle;… the end now under consideration is undeniably
of considerably greater importance than many other, for it is
the end of a whole Manvantara [world age]… this end will itself
immediately become the beginning of another Manvantara... if one
does not stop short of the most profound order of reality, it
can be said in all truth the “end of a world” never is and never
can be anything but the end of an illusion.
