E-mailová korespondence s autorem knihy Andělé na tuto harfu nehrají .

JANSAN:
Milý pane doktore Begichu ,
1) Ve vaší knize "Andělé na tuto harfu nehrají", kterou jsem mimochodem přečetl na jeden zátah, jste nahromadil značně detailní i všeobecnou informaci. Překvapeně jsem četl o všech nebezpečích tohoto projektu, kterému - pochopitelně - není dávána velká publicita v sousední Kanadě (žiji v Ontariu). Jaké jsou krátkodobé a dlouhodobé následky tohoto projektu, které mohou ovlivnit i nás zde a pravděpodobně i zbytek světa? A jelikož nejsme Američané, co můžeme dělat? Neměla by se o to starat také naše vláda?

2) Mám dojem, že některé body ve vaší knize by potřebovaly důkladnější výzkum, zejména ty, které vedou k okamžitým, nebo nejnebezpečnějším následkům. Mohl byste mi ukázat, které to jsou body a je-li zde nějaký plán, vyšetřovat je detailněji? Ale i když se zastaví projekt HAARP, co s Rusy? Můžeme s nimi vůbec něco udělat?

ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, USA, JANUARY 21, 1998 ? Tom Spencer, a Member of the European Parliament and Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defense Policy has arranged for a hearing on HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project) in the Subcommittee on Security and Disarmament. The hearing will be the first to address HAARP and non-lethal weapons technologies.

HAARP is a project being developed in Alaska by the US Navy and Air Force. The project involves modifying and manipulating the ionosphere for defense applications. The system is a developmental prototype for a ground based “star wars” weapon system. These new weapons have significant implications for the environment and public health.

“These technologies are advancing a new kind of arms race without public debate or discussion about the safety, moral and ethical implications of these new systems, ” said Dr. Nick Begich, co-author of the book Angels Don’t Play this HAARP. The book, authored by Begich and Jeane Manning is what sparked the international debate. A little less than two years ago, Chairman Spencer, read the book and contacted Begich. He had the material reviewed by independent scientists in Europe, then took the issue to his colleagues.

On three occasions in 1997, Dr. Begich traveled to Europe to meet with environmental and political activists. Begich presented the issue in numerous interviews and lectures including a meeting of Global International, a group of several hundred legislators and Parliamentarians representing more than 40 countries. The presentations were well received and provided opportunities for increasing public awareness on these new technologies.

The book, now translated and released in German, Japanese and English, has captured the attention of media throughout the world. Named one of the most important books of the year in 1996, the HAARP issue and the revolution in new technologies has been the subject of numerous news reports.

While Begich maintains, “HAARP represents a small part of the hidden technologies being developed by military planners, increasing reports in the media continue to confirm what we began to uncover several years ago.” As a result of their self-funded campaign to increase public awareness, debate is beginning on these other technological threats as well. In the meantime, HAARP continues to be funded and advanced in the face of growing opposition and “non-lethal” weapons continue to attract increasing funding.

The European and American public have been led to believe that the arms race was over, while the United States continues to advance its technology creating what the military is calling a “revolution in military affairs” (RMA). The RMA and consequences of these new technologies are finally coming into the light of day. Several scientists, researchers and representatives of the military establishment in Europe are scheduled to speak and be present at the February 5th hearing.

In a recent press briefing, United States Secretary of Defense William Cohen, while commenting on new technological threats possibly held by terrorist organizations, “Others are engaging in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.” While the Secretary of Defense suggests this capability might be possessed by terrorist organizations, the US military continues to deny that they also control such technology.

“Non-lethal” weapons was the cover story in the July 7, 1997 issue of US News and World Report, a major article appeared discussing other exotic weapons being added to military arsenals. This article confirmed many of the assertions made by the authors of the HAARP book more than three years ago.

Technological advances in military systems has created moral, ethical and environmental questions which must be answered. “The need for systems for national and international defense is clear to everyone. However, the development of these new capabilities should not be conducted without significant public discussion,” Begich said. “The United States military does not have a balanced record when in comes to the environment or health issues. The risks in this case may be much greater than the perceived rewards.”

The interest by European parliamentarians should move the debate forward significantly and perhaps lead to the kind of open discussions these new technologies require.
