Russian Scholar Warns Of US Climate Change Weapon
According to Russian political scientist, and conspiracy aficionado Andrei Areshev the high heat, and poor crop yields of Russia, and other Central Asian countries may be the result of a climate weapon created by the US military. From the article: "... Areshev voiced suspicions about the High-Frequency Active Aural Research Program (HAARP), funded by the US Defense Department and the University of Alaska. HAARP, which has long been the target of conspiracy theorists, analyzes the ionosphere and seeks to develop technologies to improve radio communications, surveillance, and missile detection. Areshev writes, however, that its true aim is to create new weapons of mass destruction 'in order to destabilize environmental and agricultural systems in local countries.'"
In Russia this type of propaganda is as acceptable as Americans whole believe Obama is not a US citizen.
When the foot seeks the place of the head, the line is crossed. Know your place. Keep your place. Be a shoe.
The one that heats the ionosphere, and has an effect on the scale of an immersion heater in the Yukon river. That HAARP. Of course it's to blame.
The World Wide Web is dying. Soon, we shall have only the Internet.
Hey, do you think I can get an article posted if I post a link to a paranoid rant about Obama's birth certificate?
Hail Eris, full of mischief...
E pluribus sanguinem
We live in a relatively closed system. If we were trying to "heat" you up, that heat will come back around and hit our west coast. But, as with most conspiracies, it's hilarious to watch at least. Somehow people think we can come up with a grand scheme to manipulate the weather of foreign nations, put it into action, _and_ keep it quiet, yet our government can't figure out how to win a simple war and keep the documents classified during it (WikiLeaks/Afghanistan)?
If something like this makes the front page at slashdot, what's next? Roswell aliens, JFK Conspiracy theories, how about the 9/11 conspiracy saying the fed's were behind everything? Is it possible to have the slightest bit of editorial standards at this website?
If it was real you would think we would pick better targets such as:
Oh but I guess picking bad targets must be part of the conspiracy because that would hide the conspiracy. But then, knowing that I know that they know that I know then they would pick good targets.
One might be a "Political Scientist" in much the same way as one might be an "Honest Politician".
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
no, the problem is selfish and greedy attitudes, and "but he's worse" finger pointing.
running of suburban SUVs or subsidized coal fired power stations are both just symptoms of this.
I would less call it 'censored' and more selectively reported in order to appeal to viewers, since viewers are what drive advertising revenue. People generally do not want to hear bad things about their country unless it is bad things they can attribute to people they already do not like.. and when they do, they vote with their dollars and view elsewhere.
No conspiracy or control needed.. just simple economics and self interest on the part of the networks.
"destabilize environmental and agricultural systems"
The U.S. government kills anyone, anywhere if it will make money for someone who secretly holds the strings of power. Climate destabilization is trivial by comparison.
Vietnam is an example. The poisons are still there. People are still dying from the land mines. Bombs costing more than a car were dropped on poor farmers.
"Vietnam war in any way profitable for anybody?" ... does that come from 100% end to end US gov mines, steel mills, farms, factories, R&D ect? :) With a extra layer for of profit for support and mercs too :)
US weapons, airframes, sigintel, uniforms, food, oil
Most of the above are in private hands or have shareholders that get a nice return on investemnt for any new system tested, deployed or upgraded.
To them distant death is a car, holiday, better private school, medical care, extra homes, toys.. the good life.
Any US politician talking of arms reductions would by default be talking of profit reductions. That is really not a good place to be in unless a whole new system replace the old.
The average US taxpayers may eat the public debt, people who dont pay much tax create vast amounts of generational wealth.
Ready to push back into the next small war
As for climate change Cuba faced some interesting pest outbreaks and a few very real export destroying missions.
The idea that weather could altered at a local level to do the same is ??? The historical desire is in place, the rest would be tech.
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
