U.S. Woefully Behind Technologically

I knew we shouldn’t be outsourcing all those jobs to other countries. Now look what we’re up against…

…meteorologist Scott Stevens offered analysis of Hurricane Katrina. He believes there is evidence that suggests weather manipulation technology (that the Russians have) was used in the creation and path of the storm which was deliberately focused on destroying the refineries and oil facilities in the Louisiana area. For more on this topic, view this
special page > that Stevens created.

:laughing: :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley: :roll:

I have posted this page FAR sooner than I would like to have.

I’m not familiar with Scott Stevens. I have to say I didn’t get very far in the article. The fact that Russia boasted of having developed something in the 1960’s and 1970’s is not surprising to me (I’m 55), and it sure is not something I would give any credence to. I don’t know who established that the boast is true. I can agree with the statement I quote above from his article however with the substitution of “should” for “would like to”. Conspiracy theories are always more fascinating than real explanations.

Well, shoot, I didn’t see your funny faces at the bottom! I’m glad I didn’t read any further. That’ll teach me to start responding before I read the post carefully!! :blush: :laughing: :laughing:

Ummm. Are we talking The Onion or black helicopters here? I fear the latter.

Hmmm, weather control, i guess that makes sense…

I bet they even sent Kapitan Ramius to launch their new weapon from abord his top secret submarine… :laughing:

Meanwhile, in old Europe (according to a controversially-titled publication “New Europe”), extreme weather is reduced to an issue of crude politicking:

That would never happen in the US, now would it?

Scot Stevens is one heck of a defenseman, but I wouldn’t rely on him as a defense analyst.

However, this theory failed the occam’s razor test. It is far likelier that the ‘cause’ of this hurricane’s destruction lies in the global rise in ocean temperature brought about by the greenhouse effect of fossil fuel emissions.

It’s not like the bulk of the world’s non-crackpot scientists haven’t been yelling for twenty years that an increase in severe weather is on it’s way.

It’s viciously ironic that the governor of Louisianna was a driving force behind US efforts to derail the Kyoto accord, but I suppose that’s cold comfort to the people killed or homeless.

Well what kills me about this is I try to think of the biggest things mankind has ever built… the super-dome comes to mind… you could get like 500 of the darned things in eye of that storm alone, right? So naturally a decade after the fall of the Soviet Union, this yokel postulates that a Russian satellite (what maybe the size of Tyler’s Mini?) is going to beam enough energy into this storm to steer it into and oil field.

riiiiiigght… :roll:

Its been a while, so the memory is pretty foggy, but as I recall, the Russians did not claim to have weather “control”. What they did was (supposedly) build a giant radio transmitter dish in a large land depression (similar to the size of the Arecibo observatory) and let off a couple of giant bursts. The waves produced (supposedly) circled the earth. Wherever two waves crossed paths, earthquakes and terrible storms took place. Anyways, that was the story that was going around for several years. I don’t know what happened with this stuff - whether it just died out on the conspiracy mill, whether there was ever any truth found in it, or if the Russians actually just smartened up on their own and stopped using it.

If this is the same Scott Stevens, I think I saw the imprint of his shoulder pad on Eric Lindros’ last head xray. :smiley:

It doesn’t matter if we are behind technologically in most fields. We are very good at bombing the crap out of people.

If Dipshit in office decides that he doesn’t like you, he will bomb you back into the stoneage, thereby destroying any technology advantage you may have. Hell, he can’t even SPELL technology..the very thought of it bothers him.

Operation Freedom from Technology shall begin tomorrow people. It’s time to kill everybody…er…set them free from life…yeah…freedom.

WOO HOO!!!

Oh, and everyone get out your tinfoil hats! You never know when you’re going to need it! Those Ruskies are out to get us (even us pinko types these days).

:smiley:

Actually, I think I saw their satalite about four weeks ago, and it is about the size of my Mini…
It spotted me rebuilding the model year 1962 A-series engine out of my car and moved in for a closer look; you see, they’re always interested in aquiring technology more advanced than their own! :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

what about our "HAARP INTERFACE ". i hear it can change all kinds of weather :astonished:

2 spelling edits :blush:

tansy, at the risk of being a laughing stock, I must ask you what is our HARP IINNERPHASE? I’m sure everyone else knows. :blush:

hi cynth, go to google and type in" haarp weather control", that is haarp with two a’s and you will find several listings explaining it. the us airforce and navy are responsible for it, it’s location is in alaska. i found out about it in 1996 and find it pretty scary. it’s a bit hush hush in the normal sectors. i would have enclosed a link for you, but i am not computor savy :slight_smile: perhaps you could do that for me?
best, tansy

Well, the second word looks like it might be a phonetically-rendered “interface”.

i stand corrected.
tanks :blush:

It seems that those who study these storms seem to disagree with your postulation -
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/30/national/30cycle.html?ei=5065&en=9e0e24b0c5ee1d90&ex=1125979200&partner=MYWAY&pagewanted=print

“Because hurricanes form over warm ocean water, it is easy to assume that the recent rise in their number and ferocity is because of global warming.
But that is not the case, scientists say. Instead, the severity of hurricane seasons changes with cycles of temperatures of several decades in the Atlantic Ocean. The recent onslaught “is very much natural,” said William M. Gray, a professor of atmospheric science at Colorado State University who issues forecasts for the hurricane season.”

Its not just the temperature of the water, but the difference between the water temperature, and the air above it. If you increase both the air, and water temperature by a half, or full degree (C or F) it does not necessarily follow that the storms will be more severe, or numerous.

tansy, here is a definition of HAARP. There are a lot of websites dealing with it but I was not able to distinguish reputable ones from disreputable ones. It is, as you mentioned, controversial. So I’m posting this for the sake of definition:
"Project HAARP: Overview

The Pentagon’s provocative plan to superheat the earth’s ionosphere The HAARP phased-array transmitter zaps the earth’s ionosphere with high-frequency radio waves. In an Arctic compound 200 miles east of Anchorage, Alaska, the Pentagon has erected a powerful transmitter designed to beam more than a gigawatt of energy into the upper reaches of the atmosphere. Known as Project HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program), the $30 million experiment involves the world’s largest “ionospheric heater,” a prototype device designed to zap the skies hundreds of miles above the earth with high-frequency radio waves. Why irradiate the charged particles of the ionosphere (which when energized by natural processes make up the lovely and famous phenomenon known as the Northern Lights)? According to the U.S. Navy and Air Force, co-sponsors of the project, “to observe the complex natural variations of Alaska’s ionosphere.” That, says the Pentagon, and also to develop new forms of communications and surveillance technologies that will enable the military to send signals to nuclear submarines and to peer deep underground."

cynth, thank you for posting that. it seems not to intrest many that i know, but it sends up my danger radar, which has never failed me. i sure would like to hear what others think about HAARP, it is not a pleasent thing to think about though, at least for me.
