Memo
To: Center for Severe Weather Research
From: Hannah Masoner Sinclair, H.M.S
Date: Oct 3, 2014
Subject: Is HAARP useful?
Introduction:
Karen Kosiba, an atmospheric scientist at The Center for Severe Weather
Research (CSWR), asked me to research the safety of the High Frequency Active
Auroral Research Program (HAARP). HAARP has been getting blamed for many
events that were deemed “acts of God.” This memo describes the possible dangers,
risks, and safety, regarding whether or not HAARP is for us or against us.

Background:
HAARP was established in 1993. It was being managed by the US Air Force and
the US Navy. The US HAARP facility is based in Gakona, Alaska. The entire
project/facility is spread out over 30 acres. HAARP was created to "understand,
simulate and control ionospheric processes that might alter the performance of
communication and surveillance systems.” (Anonymous, earthpulse.com, “n.d.”)

 HAARP uses electromagnetic frequencies to manipulate a targeted area of the
ionosphere.
 HAARP requires “$300,000 a month just to keep the facility open and $500,000 to run it
at full capacity for 10 days.” (James Keeney, HAARP's program manager, arrl.org, July
15,2013)
 HAARP was developed to “...investigate the potential for developing ionospheric
enhancement technology for radio communications and surveillance.” (Anonymous,
beforeitsnews.com, April 15, 2013)
Highlights:
“According to the official HAARP website, “HAARP is a scientific endeavor
aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular
emphasis on being able to understand and use it to enhance communications and
surveillance systems for both civilian and defense purposes.”” (Fred Burks, HAARP:
Secret Weapon Used For Weather Modification, Electromagnetic Warfare,
globalresearch.com, July 23, 2013 ) Although, HAARP was created to advance the
communication systems, such as radio communication and surveillance systems, the
previous statement has left many people wondering what kind of defense purposes
might HAARP be affiliated with. There has been little to no evidence that HAARP is
anything more than what has been reported.

Many civilians fear that HAARP is more than what meets the eye. It has been
said that HAARP has the power and capacity to control the weather and such events
as: the 2012 Hurricane Sandy and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. “... President Hugo
Chavez -- have added HAARP to their list of theoretical ways the U.S. could have
caused the Haiti earthquake.” (Bill Roth, Earthquakes, HAARP and conspiracy theories,
and.com, January 20, 2010 )
“By pouring measured energy that has been focused into certain parts
of the ionosphere, scientists can create all kinds of storms like
hurricanes, thunderstorms, floods, tornadoes, and drought.”
(Anonymous; cuttingedge.org,”n.d.” )

Politically, the military denies all aspects of HAARP being able to control the
weather, but HAARP is gaining a lot of attention around the globe.
“Splashy web postings abound, blaming HAARP for controlling the
weather — most recently in the case of Hurricane Sandy and the spate
of tornados — and for causing other natural disasters. Quipped
Keeney, “If I actually could affect the weather, I’d keep it open.”
“(James Keeney, HAARP's program manager; arrl.org, July 15, 2013)

Whether or not people believe what HARRP essentially is or is not is up to them,
but the cost of running such a facility is alarming, considering it does not seem to be a
necessity. As mentioned above, the facility requires a lot of funding to run at full
capacity, $800,000 to be exact, for 10 days at maximum capacity.
Due to the high cost of the facility, it has been shut down as of last May. When
discussing HAARP, David Walker, an Air Force official said: “After 21 years of
experiments, the controversial HAARP project is no longer “an area that we have any
need for in the future.” (David Walker, rt.com, May 27, 2014) It was stated in the same
article that: “Although the HAARP installation is two decades old, it is still operable and
could be used for scientific research, but most probably not at the expense of the US
military struggling to reduce spending.” (Anonymous, rt.com, May 27, 2014)
Lastly, HAARPs effects on our planet and it's inhabitants is still unknown. It has
been speculated by the president of the International Institute of Concern for Public
Health that: “HAARP operates as ‘a gigantic heater that can cause major disruptions in
the ionosphere, creating not just holes, but long incisions in the protective layer that
keeps deadly radiation from bombarding the planet’. “ (Rosalie Bertell, Weather
Warfare: Beware the US Military’s Experiments with Climatic Warfare,
globalresearch.com, June 29, 2014)
Conclusion:
There is not enough publically accessible, concrete evidence to support or
disband the support of HAARP. The cost of running the facility outweighs the benefits to
the facility's research currently. However, there is no conclusive evidence that suggests
HAARP is a danger in anyway. I cannot say that the program is safe or not because
there is not enough conclusive evidence, but I can say that it is my personal opinion that
the program remain shut down, strictly due to its operating cost.
