Schumann’s Resonances and Vision 2020

Organization for the Advancement of Knowledge, 2003



We are proposing, along with Pitkanin and Sidorov, that the Schumann resonance (SR) may be the substrate for a radar-type extrasensory perception mechanism common to all living beings. Like water bouncing off of rocks and other submerged objects, this non-specific frequency is absorbed and re-radiated in unique interference patterns by all objects it encounters. This interference pattern is a composite of external and internal properties, as the constituent atoms, molecules and their global assembly all re-transmit this energy according to their specific configurations. Not only that, but the “sounding waves” can be frequency and pattern modulated by conscious intent in order to yield specific information (interference patterns). Decoded by the brain they return almost instantly on the “back” of the Schumann Resonance. Once recaptured, the patterns are then decoded by the brain. In this Fourier-type transformation the information is translated into conscious data, much like other sensory processing. Conversely, specific effects may be imprinted as bioinformation and made to exercise a "mysterious action at a distance", once the signal wave reaches the target. That pattern, in turn, may, under the right ("pre-requisite") global conditions, avoid routine dissipation and become instead coupled to the dominating ("state-of-consciousness") standing wave that is picked up and carried by the Schumann resonance. Mental intent may function as a variable window of transmission/reception in the exchange of extrasensory information. Tuned into the Schumann resonance, it may carry such bio-regulating information to distant targets and act as a primitive, radar-type sensory interface. All these and more mechanisms depend on the SR frequencies staying within their median range.



TERROR IN THE IONOSPHERE? The rhythm of life has evolved at an even tempo for epochs. We live in a complex matrix of oscillating fields; the tiniest fluctuations in one interlocked field carry over perturbations into others. Many times per second, pulses travel completely around the world between our planet's surface and the ionosphere sending coordinating signals to all organisms. These signals couple us to the global electrostatic field. Named for their discoverer, the Schumann Resonance (SR) provides an orchestrating pulse for life on our planet. We all march to the cadence of this cosmic drummer -- our planetary heartbeat, which sets the tempo for health and well-being. Damaging this planetary pacemaker could spell doom for life as we know it. In the name of progress and defense, this pacemaker is now threatened, while vast amounts of public money are spent on this atmospheric exploitation. Even more tax funds are allocated to implement the ill-conceived "Star Wars" missile defense by the year 2020, and the already-operational energy beam Project HAARP, (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) operating in Gakona, Alaska. This environmental rhythm -- the fundamental driving system for all life on our small blue planet -- is jeopardized by human manipulations of the ionosphere, such as HAARP. Some physicists have gone so far as to identify the upper atmosphere as essentially “alive,” transmitting a type of consciousness to all living things. It is dangerous to fool with Mother Nature as the results of ozone depletion and other ecological calamities have shown. Tampering could destroy this system, essentially leaving it -- and ourselves -- dead. It might be easy to see that such survival risks don't balance alleged benefits, but targeted research on potential problem areas has been virtually non-existent.

“What is clear is that part of the money voted to Bush’s Star Wars plan will be used for research into space-based lasers,” the Independent reported. “These, we are told, will be used to shoot down the missiles fired in anger by ‘rogue states.’ But they will, inevitably, evolve into weapons aimed at America’s enemies from space. U.S. Space Command doesn’t even bother to hide this fact. The most chilling illustration in Vision 2020 is of such a space-based laser firing a beam of energy at the earth.” What the Russians are worried about (as they’re trying to explain in badly translated prose from Moscow’s Interfax News Agency) are U.S. plans to begin large-scale scientific experiments using the Alaska-based HAARP in 2003. Ninety Russian deputies signed the appeal against the HAARP program, charging that the experiments “would create weapons capable of breaking radio communication lines and equipment installed on spaceships and rockets, provoke serious accidents in electricity networks and in oil and gas pipelines and have a negative impact on the mental health of people populating entire regions.” (Fitrakis, 2002)

The ionosphere shields us from deadly radiation from the sun and deep space. Holes are now being routinely punched in this insulating blanket by high-frequency radio waves, and may accidentally tear open the fragile cocoon of human and planetary evolution. Dire consequences could be as devastating as the failure of an individual's pacemaker. The forces of chaos could be let loose, doing irreversible damage. The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) puts this technology for environmental modification in the hands of the military command – a frightening prospect. Because of national security mandates, we can’t be sure just what they are doing with it, and conjecture is running rampant. Hopefully, it can be disclosed before it is too late for all of us. PERTURBING THE CLIMATE To really comprehend just how delicately balanced our fragile planet is we need to consider the astrophysics converging on our region of space. We have to look into deep time and space. Then it becomes easier to see how the slightest perturbations to our atmosphere can cause dramatic rifts in the course of our geophysical destiny. Many complex forces are already impacting the Earth, particularly our global weather patterns. Looking at the broadest scale, there is a galactic ice age threat from supernovas, whose cosmic rays create clouds when they hit our atmosphere, cooling it. Also, the solar system is passing through the densest portion of the Milk Way Galaxy, a roughly 30-million-year cycle. This dense molecular cloud and fluctuating galactic tidal forces of distant matter can destabilize comets in the Oort cloud and send them hurtling toward the planets and sun. This rain of small comets called impact surges, (2/3 from disk tides and 1/3 from distant matter tides), is influential in the pulsing and advancing of ice sheets over millennia and implicated in mass extinctions. It affects the oceanic heat pump (with a rain of fresh water) that acts as a global ocean conveyor. This salt pump moves warm water into northern climes, like the eastern seaboard and Europe, keeping them habitable, while cooling the tropics. Its collapse would mean that warm, salty Gulf Stream water would no longer move north, facilitating another Ice Age. The motor of evolution is not natural selection, but climate and ice. Ice sheets have pulsed 30 times in the last 2 ½ million years since the Isthmus of Panama formed blocking tropical circulation between Pacific and Atlantic. This diverted warm water north, where it began falling as snow and built into glaciers. These glaciers ebb and flow depending on the wobble of the Earth. Dryness created by these glacial cycles forced the African tropical rain forests to die back, creating savannahs, and our progenitors left the forest and modern humans, reliant on intelligence for survival, emerged. Intelligence and versatility became our hallmarks because we had to learn to survive in volatile climates. Its only been about 1000 generations since the ice age in Europe, when human population was incredibly low. All research indicates Earth’s climate system has sensitive thresholds, which crossed would push the system from one stable operating mode into another. Oceanic systems control weather on land, as El Nino has shown. It is also revealed in deep-sea sediments, ice-core sheets and the fossil record. They all show the conveyor has shut down in the past. It has been called the “Achilles heel” of our climatic system. The pump is in decline according to researchers and could signal an abrupt and dramatic shift. A paper in Nature in 2002 showed the deep current is freshening by as much as 20%; this is NOT a good sign. Melting glaciers could hasten the process. Fossil evidence demonstrates collapse can happen within a decade and persist for centuries. This new paradigm of rapid climate change is now broadly accepted worldwide. Such triggers can create spikes of around 10 degrees C. in about a decade, followed by plateaus of about 20 years, then dramatic cooling of around 20 degrees C in around 2 decades. In the last 8-10,000 years, these pulsations have been milder, but solar instability, axis tilt, and current declines could precipitate their return. So could human tampering with the weather through energy beam technology and weaponry. A rise in temperature of only 3-4 degrees C. could trigger a rise in sea level of 20 meters within one decade! Further warming and ice melt creates a cycle where temperatures could spike 8-10 Degrees C. in 30 years. Then ocean currents would shift and new heat/cold patterns emerge. New shallow seas would decrease land mass; agricultural plains would be flooded, diminishing food-growing areas further. Roughly, 30-40 percent of the land would be lost and mankind would be displaced from inundated valleys on all continents. Trade, commerce, and industrial production would be flooded out. In 2003, the EPA predicted a rise of 3-9 degrees F. over the next hundred years. Tropical oceans have warmed 1.8-2.6 F. over the past 100 years, and glaciers are melting worldwide. Research has also suggested that the sun itself has been in a heating cycle and may be a significant component in global warming, (1 degree F. per year since 1880). Limited results suggested the sun produced .05% more radiation per decade since the late ‘70s. The sun’s alleged increasing output means stronger solar winds sweeping across the upper atmosphere, exciting and ionizing it with charged particles. Roughly half the global warming in the last century can be attributed to the sun. The hotter it burns, the more cosmic rays it deflects. Sustained over decades it could lead to dramatic climate fluctuation, as in the historical past.

“Examinations of ancient tree rings and other data show temperatures declined starting in the 13th Century, bottomed out at 2 degrees below the long-term average during the 17th Century, and did not climb back to previous levels until the late 19th Century. Separate records of sunspots, auroral activity (the Northern Lights) and terrestrial deposits of certain substances generated in atmospheric reactions triggered by solar output, suggest the Sun was persistently active prior to the onset of this Little Ice Age, as scientists call the event. Solar activity was lowest during the 17th Century, when Earth was most frigid.” (Britt, 2003).

The output of the sun fluctuates in an 11 year cycle, which had two peaks in 2000 and 2002. Solar minimum is about three years away. These changes in the solar cycle cause short-term changes on Earth. At solar maximum, as much as 2% increase in clouds over the US has been reported. When bombarded with maximum solar output, the temperature of the thin upper atmosphere doubles. It swells and puffs up further into space, up to and beyond the orbit of the International Space Station. It can even increase drag on the ship that needs frequent boosts from space shuttles to maintain its momentum. Recently it has become easier and more accurate to measure solar activity outside of Earth’s atmosphere. We now measure total solar energy, at all wavelengths, with the resultant figure called Total Solar Irradiance (TSI). The jury is out on whether current indications of increases are a long-term trend or brief aberration.

“The new study shows that the TSI has increased by about 0.1 percent over 24 years. That is not enough to cause notable climate change, Willson and his colleagues say, unless the rate of change were maintained for a century or more. On time scales as short as several days, the TSI can vary by 0.2 percent due to the number and size of sunspots crossing the face of the Sun. That shift, said to be insignificant to weather, is however equal to the total amount of energy used by humans, globally, for a year, the researchers estimate. The study analyzed data from six satellites orbiting Earth at different times over the 24 years. Willson ferreted out errors in one of the datasets that had prevented previous studies from discovering the trend. “A separate recent study of Sun-induced magnetic activity near Earth, going back to 1868, provides compelling evidence that the Sun's current increase in output goes back more than a century, Willson said.” (Britt, 2003).

Further perturbing, much less tearing holes in a super-heated ionosphere can create catastrophic weather changes. These can potentially be triggered by the military under the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) to destabilize whole areas with climatic manipulation, without the risks of conventional warfare. Deploying this weaponry for economic and strategic purposes could collapse ecological systems, and disrupt agricultural production dramatically. The Department of Defense has, of course, already implemented the development of intelligence and weather monitoring systems related to this program. NASA and DOD are working on multimedia imagery reports for massive ecological changes, using data relayed from satellites. Latest speculation has also tried to link appearance of mysterious chemtrails to the deployment of HAARP technology. Some think that the reflective qualities of these clouds influence atmospheric heating and weather patterns. Reported analyses of the "angel-hair" taken from the atmosphere after a day of spraying claim a variety of toxins. Viral bacteria, toxic molds, carbon black and E.D.B.M. (ethylene di-bromide: highly carcinogenic chemical additive for fuel banned about twenty years ago) have been identified. Speculation about these sprayed grids includes increasing reflectivity in certain layers of the atmosphere. These sprayings are also responsible for a massive decrease in the production of negative ions by the forests. This is eventually deadly for all biological life. Further, explanation of the serious and widespread drought conditions are directly related to the fact that the highly toxic and moisture absorbing (up to seven times it's own weight) Barium salt has also been detected in high quantities in the atmosphere right after a spraying event. These sprayings may therefore be linked to H.A.A.R.P and its "weather engineering" capabilities. ARCO Petroleum owns the patents on this Tesla technology. It appears that ARCO was directly funding "H.A.A.R.P." as reported a number of years ago. Many research groups have shown that we are being constantly showered with ELF's (Extremely Low Frequencies) as electronic “smog”. ELF's can be deadly to any biological life form as they alter the normal frequency of that life form causing serious illness, including irrational thought, inability to concentrate, chronic fatigue and/or death. Interfering with this delicately balanced dynamic system could induce a catastrophic collapse, much like an avalanche. Therefore, the potentials from so-called "ionospheric heaters" are truly frightening, for we have no idea what possibilities can emerge from long-term meddling with the sensitive balance of the ionosphere and global temperature, which is also linked to the world-wide oceanic pumping system whose source lies off Greenland. As if the weather isn't disrupted enough from other human pollution, tampering with beam energy devices compounds the problem much further. The UN is sponsoring continued debates on climate change, greenhouse gases, and “non-lethal weapons,” which can be deployed by at least the Americans and Russians. “Weather war” means triggering atmospheric disturbances with ELF radar waves. Through electronic weaponry, the US wants to “own the weather” and the space platform for military superiority, tailoring natural patterns, and dominating global communications.

“Recent scientific evidence suggests that HAARP is fully operational and has the ability of potentially triggering floods, droughts, hurricanes and earthquakes. From a military standpoint, HAARP is a weapon of mass destruction. Potentially, it constitutes an instrument of conquest capable of selectively destabilizing agricultural and ecological systems of entire regions. While there is no evidence that this deadly technology has been used, surely the United Nations should be addressing the issue of "environmental warfare" alongside the debate on the climatic impacts of greenhouse gases. . .Dr. Rosalie Bertell confirms that "US military scientists ... are working on weather systems as a potential weapon. The methods include the enhancing of storms and the diverting of vapor rivers in the Earth's atmosphere to produce targeted droughts or floods.” Already in the 1970s, former National Security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski had foreseen in his book "Between Two Ages" that: "Technology will make available, to the leaders of major nations, techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of the security forces need be appraised.” Marc Filterman, a former French military officer, outlines several types of "unconventional weapons" using radio frequencies. He refers to "weather war," indicating that the U.S. and the Soviet Union had already "mastered the know-how needed to unleash sudden climate changes (hurricanes, drought) in the early 1980s.” (Michel Chossudovsky, 2000)

There are smaller systems at Arecibo, Puerto Rico; Fairbanks Alaska; Tromso, Norway, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod and Apatity, Russia; Kharkov, Ukraine and Dushanbe, Tadzhikstan, and possibly in Israel.

“HAARP has been presented to public opinion as a program of scientific and academic research. US military documents seem to suggest, however, that HAARP's main objective is to "exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes." Without explicitly referring to the HAARP program, a US Air Force study points to the use of "induced ionospheric modifications" as a means of altering weather patterns as well as disrupting enemy communications and radar. According to Dr. Rosalie Bertell, HAARP is part of a integrated weapons' system, which has potentially devastating environmental consequences: "It is related to fifty years of intensive and increasingly destructive programs to understand and control the upper atmosphere. . . The ability of the HAARP / Spacelab/ rocket combination to deliver a very large amount of energy, comparable to a nuclear bomb, anywhere on earth via laser and particle beams, are frightening. The project is likely to be "sold" to the public as a space shield against incoming weapons, or, for the more gullible, a device for repairing the ozone layer. In addition to weather manipulation, HAARP has a number of related uses: "HAARP could contribute to climate change by intensively bombarding the atmosphere with high-frequency rays... Returning low-frequency waves at high intensity could also affect people's brains, and effects on tectonic movements cannot be ruled out.” (Michel Chossudovsky, 2000)

International concerns over HAARP and sister projects deploying similar energy beams have continued unabated for over a decade. The most recent developments and proposals are not encouraging:

"The U.S. military's Joint Vision 2020 report shamelessly documents its desire to establish “full spectrum dominance” over the Earth. “U.S. Space Command confirmed that Vision 2020 was its current policy, but a spokesman said it was in the process of being updated,” Britain’s Independent newspaper reported a year ago. The Independent article’s thesis was obvious—the United States is becoming a “rogue” state isolated from its Western European allies. “What is clear is that part of the money voted to Bush’s Star Wars plan will be used for research into space-based lasers,” the Independent reported. “These, we are told, will be used to shoot down the missiles fired in anger by ‘rogue states.’ But they will, inevitably, evolve into weapons aimed at America’s enemies from space. U.S. Space Command doesn’t even bother to hide this fact. The most chilling illustration in Vision 2020 is of such a space-based laser firing a beam of energy at the earth.” Earlier this year, U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich told Alive that Vision 2020 is already an ongoing military program to experiment with directed energy. On November 9 last year, Carol R. Schuster, director for defense capabilities and management of the General Accounting Office (GAO), briefed the Democratic minority members of the House Armed Services Committee on Joint Vision 2020. Schuster explained, “Joint Vision 2020 also emphasizes the importance of experimentation to identify innovations in warfighting.” (MC)

A task force of DOD, U.S. Joint Forces Command, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff continues to investigate and impliment means of deploying electronic weaponry capable of destroying any opposition by 2020.

“Schuster confirmed Kucinich’s comments in a report detailing that “the Joint Requirements Oversight Council plays a key role” in advancing Vision 2020, and that “U.S. Joint Forces Command conducts experiments on new warfighting concepts and operations.” “In 1998, the U.S. Joint Forces Command began to implement a joint experimentation program to test new warfighting concepts that now support Joint Vision 2020,” Schuster reported. The HAARP program is jointly administered by the U.S. Navy and Air Force and is a central part of the Vision 2020 strategy. A February 1990 HAARP Joint Service program plan drafted by the Air Force’s Geophysical Laboratory and the Navy’s Office of Naval Research documents the plan’s military applications: The document indicates that HAARP will be used, among other things, for generating extremely low-frequency waves for submerged submarine communication and possible weather warfare applications, and for attempts to take advantage of natural ionospheric processes by directing energy through the ionosphere and back to Earth. The Russians and some European allies are worried that the U.S. military’s experiments focusing large amounts of high-frequency energy for military purposes could theoretically trigger earthquakes. In April 1992, Defense News reported that the U.S. deployed an electromagnetic pulse weapon during Operation Desert Storm." (Fitrakis, 2002)

Guy Kramer has suggested the HAARP array may be used to bounce deadly signals off the ionosphere and moon to target sites on Earth with major explosions, virtually eliminating the need for tactical nuclear weapons. This military array in Alaska and others like it around the world have the potential to deliver an equivalent nuclear detonation to a long-range target without warning, without the missile and without the radiation. One of 12 U.S. HAARP patents is titled: U.S. Patent 4873928: Nuclear-Sized Explosions Without Radiation. The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is a congressionally initiated program jointly managed by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. Using 3 gigawatts of power (3 billion watts) from a 23-acre site in Gakona, Alaska, it is considered the most powerful array on Earth. Another ability of an array such as HAARP could be used to heat radiate people within a large yet distant target, even a buried underground bunker or cave network. This would minimize public and international opposition to such a response as the effects, although not as visual as tactical nuclear detonations, provides a similar broad termination of targets. The world may not even realize anything had happened and thus large-scale enemy losses in one location without physical munitions detonations may be played down or passed off as conventional combat or Special Forces action.

“The trick to using such a weapon with underground targets is to find the target in the first place. The same array that may be used to deliver the effect can also be used to penetrate deep into the ground to find the target. HAARP can in effect be used for Earth-penetrating tomography, which can reveal the existence of underground installations. The HAARP complex consists of 180 towers, 72 feet in height, forming a "high-power, high frequency phased array radio transmitter". Military applications of HAARP include long-range ground penetration radar, over the horizon radar, submarine communication. The basics for Ground penetration or target neutralization is to use the antenna array to target and heat the ionosphere in the upper atmosphere to create a lens to bounce or reflect a signal off to a target of great distance. Although some distances may be to far to reach a target if it is on the other side of the globe.” Moon Bounce “In late 1998 and early 1999 the ELFRAD GROUP monitored a daily frequency from .9 to .95 hertz (pulses per second), the wavelength of this frequency was approximately 319,877km or 198,711 miles. The moon's distance is fairly close to the wavelength. The signal appears to be a controlled signal transmitted from an unknown source at approximately the same time daily except weekends. The signal is strong enough to generate it's third harmonic which is 2.81235 Hz. The signal has a very quick rise time and a slower decay at the end, which is usually indicative of an artificial source. A low pass filtered showed the signal tracks very well with the magnetometers placed in various locations around the planet especially those in the northern area. Lets pick apart the data above. A Ultra Low Frequency signal in late 1998 through early 1999 from an unknown source which occurs only on week days, powerful enough to create a third harmonic wave, with a quick rise slow decay which tracks better with magnetometers in the North and a wavelength approximately matching the distance to the moon. The answer seems apparen: HAARP or a similar array in the North is bouncing signals off the Moon back to the Earth.

“Why would you want to bounce signals off the Moon? To reach targets around the world you could design a floating mobile HAARP that would have to equal the surface area of five large aircraft carriers or 8 super tankers tied together costing billions of dollars, or you could use a stationary permanent array such as HAARP and use the moon as a reflector to effectively bounce your signals anywhere on Earth given mutual Moon visibility between the source and the target! Ham radio enthusiasts call this reflection technique EME (Earth-Moon-Earth) or Moonbounce, and have been utilizing the moon with High Frequencies since the 1950's to communicate around the world. HAARP can transmit both Low and High Frequencies.

“It is rumored that Israel has access to a similar array, which would increase mutual moon visibility in the Middle East region for Moonbounce transmission, but proximity to any targets in this area might be close enough to an Israeli array that Ionosphere reflection might be possible around the clock. Tactical Nuclear retaliation by the U.S. during the War on Terrorism is in effect obsolete, given that the Americans could tactically strike with a geophysics array producing similar damage associated with nuclear detonation, without the long term detrimental effects and downwind radioactive fallout. Other alternative uses of the array such as radiating transmissions may provide similar biological target termination without any blast effects. Moonbounce techniques also mean that a stationary array can in effect target anywhere on the Earth. Star Wars now seems an appropriate term for this particular Strategic Defense Initiative using HAARP to utilize the Moon as a potential Death Star!”

PRIVATELY DETECTING SR SIGNALS

Hans Michlmayr, has developed several homespun antennae for detecting and measuring Schumann frequencies under 50Hz from fairly common materials, such as PVC pipe, electrical conduit, acrylic sheet, copper wire, steel flat bar, and threaded rod. One is simply a loop in the ground, made with 40-core telephone cable buried in a 400mm deep trench. The shape is a 25x53 meter rectangle. He found the horizontal array need a vertical polarization to be effective for detection of these subtle signals.

After a couple of tries using an antenna core made of 100-pair telephone cable with a 200 turn coil, he produced a more "professional" large induction coil, since the prior one was to sensitive to wind which distorted the signal. In all of his successful models, the signal is processed and buffered for output, monitoring, recording, and analyzing. Interference-free reception was more difficult than he first imagined; antennae need to be far removed from power lines. He finally achieved reception unaffected by the weather, but not by interference during the day. At night he could record clean spectra. He used a coil of 30,000 turns of wire, but found one used by a colleague of 100,000 turns to be even more sensitive

http://members.iinet.net.au/~ajbv/magnetic/Magnetic.html. A steel core was the key to making the antenna receptive to weak Schumann's signals. The particulars of construction with illustrations are included at these web sites.
