A brief look at HAARP

August 6, 2008

The HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program), started in 1990, has been under scrutiny and criticism several times in its existence. While some claims are far fetched given current knowledge and come off as nothing more than paranoia (claims such as weather domination or mind control), the most plausible military utilization of the technology is just as frightening. The HAARP facility is designed to research the ionosphere, a turbulent region of the atmosphere that is difficult to study due to the density being too light for weather balloons, but too thick for satellites. The ionosphere is important to communications due to its effect on radio signals and its role in buildup of electricity within the atmosphere.

The HAARP facility was designed to project radio waves into the ionosphere to induce change and study the results. In its current form it certainly has little effect on the environment or electronic systems; however, the research could lead to the capability of world-wide electronics disruption capability in the plausible scheme of things, and possibly weather control (most likely in the form of lightning). The most immediate concern of this is the HAARP research could lead to a SDI replacement that could be slipped in through treaties, as it is not specifically a missile defense device.

The government seems to be fairly open about the facility, with an open house once a year and all documents being unclassified. Still, people should be aware of what their government is doing, even if it is not immediately a concern. By maintaining awareness for things like HAARP when possible, we can monitor our government and keep them to their word about the positive applications of research funded largely in part by two military branches.

Stay aware, and keep thinking for yourself.

Canada and GMO… a love match

June 23, 2008

On May 7th 2008, the Harper government denied once again a bill (C-517) that would support mandatory labelling of genetically engineered food. Defeated 156 against 101 in the House of Commons, the conservatives are once again blamed for protecting Monsanto (leader in the GMO industry) instead of the well-being of Canadians.

For those of you who don’t know, Monsanto used to give in the pesticides and other chemicals before moving onto GMOs. That multi-national is now the leader of the industry with 90% of all the GMOs being produced there. Obviously, the company is protected by  the conservatives and liberals, to no surprise.

As defined in the bill: “ “genetically modified”, with respect to a food or one of its components, means that the genetic make-up of the food or component has been modified by a technique that combines DNA fragments of the food or component with DNA fragments from another source in a way that could not occur without the use of modern technology. “

It is to be noted that ONLY between 80% and 90% of Canadians in recent studies, have voiced concerns about GE food and wanted to see clear identification of the GMO products. Proof once again that representative democracy doesn’t work well in order to defend even the interests of the population’s majority.

Most people don’t trust GE food, and if they knew how many products are being manipulated partly or in their totality, it’s obvious that it would hurt the GMO industries along with the farmer who decided to go for those seeds. Yet they prefer to let the population unaware of what they are eating, rather than let us choose.

What I find funny here is that we still follow the United States in their process. While there’s about 40 countries that have forced the labelling of GMO products, Canada and the U.S. remain the only ones in the Western culture to still sit behind on that. Also interesting to note that in other countries such as France, Hungary, Germany, etc… the debate is either done or going, about the use of GMO in crop within the countries and importation of products GE banned.

The debate is now lying in the hands of provincial governments. They are the only ones able to respect the will of the citizens and force the labelling. The government of Quebec under Prim Minister Charest has been promising that since 2003 and obviously, nothing has been done still. We are the retarded children of the industrial world when it comes to this, when will we wake up?

A socialist conspiracy of 400 km2!

June 19, 2008

This is it. The communists disembark on the Wilkins ice field to establish their strategy! Bearing only their hammers and sickles, the communists still managed to win over a very large portion of the ice field, about 400 square kilometres (4%), just as big as Montreal Island. Wilkins being way too large: about the size of Ontario, the communists preferred to choose a task they could actually finish. After all, they were only three! (If we believe some right-winged irrelevant sources: Mao, Stalin and Pol-Pot).

When the communists will be done refining their strategy for global warming, it will mean that they will also have managed to melt down Wilkins in its totality. In order to cut the huge ice bloc of 400 square kilometres, they figured out that the best method was still the good old hair dryer! So they traded their hammers and sickles for these hair dryers. When they will be done with the totality of the ice field, the oceans all around the world will have gained more than 70 meters, no less!

Therefore, the communists will win over capitalism, again with those devious plans meant to kill as many people as possible, hundreds of millions, and why not milliards! The authors of the “black book” on communism will then have all the freedom, on floating embarkations of course, to write the follow up of their incontestable apocalyptic master piece.

Next month hot topics: “The communists try to lure the moon from the skies so it hits the Earth.”, “The communists dive in the gulf stream with their tuba and bottles of liquid nitrogen to refresh the important flow.”, “The communists get drunk in the fields to then pee in them, just to make them acid enough to aggravate the world-wide famine.”

(Harper, Bush and Howard (ex prim-minister of Australia) all said on various occasions that global warming was a socialist scheme. These three individuals, partisans of the oil industry, spit on science as they accuse it of being nothing more than a SOCIALIST conspiracy.)
