Agenda-Driven
Response: HAARP and the Army's Land-Grab in Colorado
By
Deanna Spingola
Unfortunately,
despite the government’s responsibility to protect citizen’s rights, it is
blatantly obvious that the government is following an alternative, deliberately
destructive agenda including: rural cleansing of the resource-producing population,
economic destabilization, runaway inflation, unrestrained immigration, illegal
surveillance, the NAU, deteriorating infrastructure, ethnic disparity, de-population
through war, disease, toxicity, and chemtrails; selective response to “natural”
disasters, destruction of the middle class, seizure of private property and
obliteration of God-given liberties – all at the hands of an elite ruling
class – crony monopoly capitalists and war profiteers, intent on stealing
and controlling the earth’s resources, a contrived diminishing food supply
and the surviving useless eaters, still obedient and moderately productive.
What happened to that illusive balance of power?
At
the president’s discretion, along with those covert councils who supervise
him, and without congressional or constitutional oversight, fifteen Executive
Branch Secretaries control all federal bureaucracies which exert dictatorial
power over every aspect of our lives. These agencies and their many sub-agencies
facilitate U.N. programs including HYPERLINK "http://habitat.igc.org/agenda21/"
Agenda
21,
developed during the Conference on Environment and Development ( HYPERLINK
"http://www.un.org/geninfo/bp/enviro.html"
UNCED)
in Rio de Janeiro, June 3-14, 1992. These regulatory, metastasized Departments
are: Agriculture (1889),
Commerce
(1903), Defense (1947), Education (1979), Energy (1977), Health and Human
Services (1953), Homeland Security (November 25, 2002, absorbed FEMA in 2003
which was created by Presidential Order on April 1, 1979),
Housing and Urban Development (1965), Interior (1849), Labor (1913), State
(1789), Transportation (1967), Treasury (1789), and Veterans Affairs (1988),
and the Attorney General (1789).
Significantly,
under the Bilderberg-approved George W. Bush, cabinet-level status was granted
to the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, created
December 2, 1970) and to the U.S. Trade Representative (1962). In addition
to power over our children through education, price of gas through manipulation
of energy, etc., this allows a sitting president to bypass Congress regarding
anything and everything that has to do with the environment – a veritable
Pandora’s Box. With cabinet-level status for the Trade Representative, the
president may sign treaties without congressional approval. A declaration
of war, once required, was quietly disbanded with the current, unconstitutional
king’s cabinet structure.
The
elevation of the EPA was first attempted in March 1990 under G. H. W. Bush.
He wanted it in time to celebrate Earth Day on April 22, 1990. Clinton
also attempted to empower the EPA which, like FEMA and Nixon’s 1972 Regional
Councils, is divided into ten regions (for better control) – HYPERLINK

The EPA declares its Agenda 21 commitment, as noted on the HYPERLINK

web
site.
The
Army makes it perfectly clear that it intends to seize private property in
southeastern Colorado. They don’t “need” the land for training purposes –
that is a pretext. They have sufficient mega military training HYPERLINK
"http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/10/AR2008061003415_pf.html"
bases
in Iraq
(along with the world’s biggest and most expensive embassy), also on plundered
land. The power of eminent domain is an oft-used seizure tactic; there are
others. On February 4, 2008, HYPERLINK "http://www.not1moreacre.net/petition/index.php"

advocates for the beleaguered citizens of southeastern Colorado, said: “The
Pentagon and its military contractors are continuing to push plans to more
than triple the size of the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site in southeastern
Colorado – in contravention of a law passed by Congress which forbids them
to do so.”
Remember,
the Pentagon and the Department of Defense, since 1947, are under the jurisdiction
of the king’s cabinet. Congressional leaders, frequently indebted to campaign
contributors and deep-pocketed lobbyists, go through the legislative motions
and pass laws they can’t or won’t enforce. Many sincere officials are out-numbered
by the compliant power-loving majority, who long ago abdicated their sworn
responsibilities – just like those who handed America’s financial resources
to the Federal Reserve private bankers – the internationalist bankers who
currently manage the president, his cabinet, elections and the monopoly media’s
talking heads.
Despite
sounding conspiratorial, it is a fact that the U.S. has the capability of
manipulating “the climate for military use.” They have applied those “modification
techniques” for “more than half a century” covertly maneuvering “weather patterns,
communications and electric power systems as a weapon of global warfare,
enabling the U.S. to disrupt and dominate entire regions” – against “enemy
countries, friendly nations” or even, dare I say, the U.S. to “destabilize
economies, ecosystems and agriculture.”
According
to a HYPERLINK "http://www.sunshine-project.org/enmod/popeye"
top-secret
congressional
hearing held March 20, 1974, the military used weather modification in Vietnam
and by 1977 was spending $2.8 million a year on weather-modification research;
the same year that the United Nations banned the “hostile use of all environmental
modification techniques.” Allegedly, the U.S. discontinued all weather-modification
research in 1979.
HAARP,
initiated in 1992 by Advanced Power Technologies, Inc. (APTI), a subsidiary
of Atlantic Richfield Corporation (ARCO) “was developed as part of an Anglo-American
partnership between Raytheon Corporation “which owns the HAARP patents, and
British Aerospace Systems (BAES). The HAARP project is one among several collaborative
ventures in advanced weapons systems between the two defense giants. APTI
(including the HAARP patents) was sold by ARCO to E-Systems Inc, in 1994.”
“BAES
was involved in the development of the advanced stage of the HAARP antenna
array under a 2004 contract with the Office of Naval Research. The installation
of 132 high frequency transmitters was entrusted by BAES to its U.S. subsidiary,
BAE Systems Inc. and their Electronic Warfare division. In September 2007,
BAE Systems Inc. received the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s
(DARPA) top award for “outstanding leadership and engineering innovation in
designing, constructing, and activating the Defense Department’s High-Frequency
Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) instrument.” “HAARP, the world’s largest
and most capable ionospheric research facility, will serve the U.S. scientific
and defense communities for the next 30 to 50 years.” HAARP was dedicated
June 27, 2007 and is “jointly funded by the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and
DARPA.
The
Department of Defense and the CIA, the president’s enforcement agencies, has
contracts with E-Systems, founded in 1964. The CIA is “the intelligence-gathering
and covert-action arm of the president.” It is not “some sort of independently
run mythical loose cannon.” E-Systems, owned by war-profiteer Raytheon
since 1994, “manufactures and distributes electronic systems and communications
networks, including electronic warfare equipment, navigation and reconnaissance
machinery, and highly sophisticated spying devices.” In the early 1970s,
E-Systems installed communications equipment on the President’s Air Force
One. This created an airborne command post for the Pentagon and the
White House. This “Doomsday Plane” enables the president to manage a nuclear
war.
Although,
there is no hard evidence that HAARP has or will be used for military purposes,
the involvement of the Department of Defense would decidedly suggest such
use. After all, they are not recognized for life and health improvement studies.
Advanced technology and weaponry would provide ample opportunities to achieve
their ultimate “ HYPERLINK "http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=45289"
full
spectrum dominance,”
including the “globalization of the world’s economy.”
The
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) “has a mandate ‘to assess scientific, technical
and socioeconomic information relevant for the understanding of climate change.’
This mandate includes environmental warfare. ‘Geo-engineering’ is acknowledged,
but the underlying military applications are neither the object of policy
analysis or scientific research in the thousands of pages of IPCC reports
and supporting documents, based on the expertise and input of some 2,500 scientists,
policymakers and environmentalists.” How convenient – just ignore the
horrific possibilities and implications.
HAARP
was unable to detect the “precise location of tunnels and underground shelters
which was defined as a “serious weakness in the Department of Defense plans
for precision attacks on hardened targets and for counter proliferation.”
Therefore, increased funding of $75 million a year was allotted, in May 1994,
for further research.
Residents
of southeastern Colorado had already suffered through seven years of drought,
accompanied by major financial losses due to the skyrocketing cost of hay,
for which there was no assistance. Benefits, financial or otherwise,
are typically and repeatedly extended to well-connected corporations – rarely
to independent, struggling producers.
Then
in December 2006, two back to back blizzards delivered record snow volume
of 3 to 4 feet, with snow drifts as high as 10 to 18 feet causing financial
losses of at least $500 million, economically devastating the people.
During the storms, between 10,000 and 15,000 cattle perished from starvation
and exposure. The numbers increased as the snow melted and more carcasses
were revealed. The area affected was home to “345,000 head of cattle and
calves, 23,500 head of producing sows and 112,000 head of sheep and lambs.”
Livestock contributes 70% to Colorado's agricultural gross product.”
The
record storms forced “the closures of Interstate Highways 25, 76 and 70, as
well as U.S. Routes 350, 36 and 85.” Following Holiday Blizzards I and II,
as they were named, more than a foot of additional snow fell on January 4-5,
bringing the total snowfall for 16 days to more than 80 inches in some areas.
On
January 16, 2007, newly elected Governor Bill Ritter wrote to U.S. Agriculture
Secretary Mike Johanns asking for federal “financial assistance to offset
livestock and agricultural losses and to help prevent additional cattle deaths.”
Additionally, he sought funds to “help cover” the costs of “snow removal and
emergency rescue operations.” Ritter wanted the USDA to “declare the following
counties disaster areas: Baca, Bent, Cheyenne, Crowley, Huerfano, Kiowa,
Las Animas, Lincoln, Otero and Prowers counties,” some of the same land
that the Army had targeted for seizure.
The
federal government offered emergency “loans” to the ranchers and farmers,
people who already had burdensome bank loans. The state also offered
funds for “the rescue and recovery of livestock.” But, the most immediate
help came from other ranchers – neighbors helping neighbors. Legislation
was approved for those who suffered livestock losses based on a presidential
disaster declaration. Ranchers then counted on federal help.
Unfortunately,
there were restrictions. According to their disaster declarations, “thousands
of dead cattle” apparently were not “enough of a disaster” for the U.S. Department
of Agriculture who “denied disaster relief and the attendant low-interest
loans” to the ten Army-targeted counties devastated by the blizzards in southeast
Colorado. Lack of assistance might force some discouraged ranchers
to sell their land. Although ranchers were not “holding their breath” for
state or federal relief, such relief was desired and somewhat expected, given
other disaster declarations programs instigated by FEMA and the USDA.
Governor
Ritter expressed disappointment over assistance conditions that were impossible
to meet. It was an additional setback to ranchers and farmers who watched
their livelihoods dissolve after “prolonged drought followed by devastating
storms.” Ritter, along with a state delegation appealed the USDA decision
against granting low-interest loans. However, the ranchers had “sustained
such terrific losses that more bank loans” would not have kept “them from
going under.”
The
Emergency Farm Relief Act of 2007, in the works for several years, would have
provided payments to ranchers for livestock losses due to floods, wildfires,
hurricanes and blizzards. However, USDA denial was based on its assessment
that the counties had not suffered 30 percent production losses - not economic
losses.” “One factor leading to the limited assistance was that livestock
do not fall under USDA crop disaster designations, since livestock are not
a crop.”
Additionally,
freezing rain during those December 2006 storms resulted in “significant ice
accumulation” causing “tens of thousands of people” in the five affected states
to lose electrical power, “paralyzing much of the Great Plains. Ice accumulation
also downed trees and communication towers.”
“The
worst victims of the December storms, particularly in Colorado’s High Plains,
were cattle; thousands were trapped by heavy snow and strong winds, which
created drifts up to 20 feet in some areas. Strong north winds caused unbelievable
blizzard conditions, with drifts as tall as two-story buildings.”
That
blizzard may affect cattle reproduction for years to come. Bulls experienced
reproductive problems “due to frozen testicles.” Cows whose embryos died in
early pregnancy due to the cold were vulnerable to deadly infections. Large
numbers of “stillborn or aborted calves” resulted in a decreased “number of
replacement females. Such reproductive problems resulting from the blizzard
may have an economic impact for the next three to five years.”
Some
hay deliveries arrived weeks later, too late for the deceased cows. “Some
ranchers felt the distribution could have been timelier in execution. Ranchers
and farmers have not received federal disaster relief and emergency aid, such
as money for livestock rescue and recovery.” Too little, too late –
just like New Orleans and currently, HYPERLINK "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9cqJJnOv2k"
Iowa.
FEMA immediately responded on 9/11. Debris, which may have provided evidence,
was hurriedly cleared away, an anomaly in such circumstances. The EPA, also
very quickly, declared that the toxic air was harmless. People, trusting authority,
accepted the falsehood. Many individuals developed serious health problems
and have since died.
