The death and devastation caused by major earthquakes around the world can
only worsen in years to come, as growing urban development and unprecedented
population growth compound the lethal effects of natural and, as some
researchers claim, man-made seismic hazards. With the world’s population
estimated to pass the 6 billion mark this year, there are fewer unpopulated
places for quakes to strike. And with ever more people to accommodate, there
is more multistoried construction in vulnerable fault zones. As a result,
destructive earthquakes “are the wave of the future,” seismic expert Kerry
Sieh of the California Institute of Technology says. “There are 40 cities of
a million or more people within 100 kilometres of a major plate boundary,
and all those are good candidates for a large event.”1

What Are Earthquakes?

Natural earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates over the
Earth’s mantle. Sandwiched between Earth’s crust and molten outer core, the
vast mantle accounts for 83 percent of the planet’s volume. It is filled
with solid rock but, heated by the core and by its own radioactive decay, it
circulates like a pot of impenetrable soup. That circulation is the driving
force behind the surface motion of tectonic plates, which builds mountains
and causes earthquakes.

The destructive power of an earthquake comes from the momentum gathered when
two opposing “faults” or tectonic plates, that may have been locked together
for decades, suddenly move apart. The result is that solid rock which
normally moves only with the passing of geological ages accelerates briefly
to 5,000mph, unleashing huge quantities of energy and creating a shaking
movement of up to a metre a second.

Most people consider earthquakes to be natural in origin, but what if there
was such a thing as man-made earthquakes? Well, there are. There is the
official version of what constitutes a man-made earthquake, and then there
is a body of suppressed research pointing to a more insidious agenda.

Artificially-Induced Earthquakes

Officially, there is such an area of research devoted to man-made
earthquakes. Geologists and seismologists agree that humans can induce
earthquakes in five major ways: fluid injection into the Earth, fluid
extraction from the Earth, mining or quarrying, nuclear testing and through
the construction of dams and reservoirs.

In fact, there are officially recorded instances of earthquakes caused by
human activity.

Geologists discovered that disposal of waste fluids by means of injecting

them deep into the earth could trigger earthquakes after a series of
earthquakes in the Denver area occurred from 1962-1965; the periods and
amounts of injected waste coincided with the frequency and magnitude of
earthquakes in the Denver area. The earthquakes were triggered because the
liquid, which was injected under very high pressure, released stored strain
energy in the rocks.2

Man-made earthquakes may seem like something out of the X-Files, and it’s
probably only a matter of time before the idea is picked up by Hollywood.
This year, best-selling thriller author Ken Follett released his latest
book, Hammer of Eden, about a terrorist group threatening to level San
Francisco with a man-made earthquake. When asked by Salon Magazine how real
is the idea of a man-made earthquake, Follett replied that “Some of the
seismologists told me, ‘There’s no way this could happen.’ But others gave
sad little shrugs and said, ‘It’s hard to say. Who knows? Maybe. It’s within
the realm of possibly.’”

Suppressed Research: Tesla Technologies

Born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Nicola Tesla is one of this century’s greatest
scientists. A prodigious inventor of electronic devices and pioneer of free
energy, Tesla never gained the recognition he deserved because his
scientific breakthroughs were deemed to ‘sensitive’ by the ruling corporate
and government powers of the day. Thus much of his research was suppressed
and stolen.

In a book entitled Tesla – The Lost Inventions, a section is titled
“Man-Made Earthquake”. It discloses Tesla’s fascination with the power of
resonance and he experimented with it not only electrically but on the
mechanical plane as well. In his Manhattan, USA lab, Tesla built mechanical
vibrators and tested their powers. One experiment got out of hand.

Tesla attached a powerful little vibrator driven by compressed air to a
steel pillar. Leaving it there, he went about his business. Meanwhile, down
the street, a violent quaking built up, shaking down plaster, bursting
plumbing, cracking windows, and breaking heavy machinery off its anchorages.

Tesla’s vibrator had found the resonant frequency of a deep sandy layer of
subsoil beneath his building, setting off a small earthquake. Soon Tesla’s
own building began to quake. It is reported that just as the police broke
into his lab, Tesla was seen smashing the device with a sledge hammer, the
only way he could promptly stop it.

In a similar experiment, on an evening walk through the city, Tesla attached
a battery powered vibrator, described as being the size of an alarm clock,
to the steel framework of a building under construction. He adjusted it to a
suitable frequency and set the structure into resonant vibration.

The structure shook, and so did the earth under his feet. Tesla later
boasted he could shake down the Empire State Building with such a device. If
this claim was not extravagant enough, he went on to say a large-scale
resonant vibration was capable of splitting the earth in half.

An article from the 11 July, 1935 issue of the New York American entitled
‘Tesla’s Controlled Earthquakes’, stated Tesla’s “experiments in
transmitting mechanical vibrations through the earth – called by him ‘the
art of telegeodynamics’ – were roughly described by the scientists as a sort
of controlled earthquake.”

The article quotes Tesla as stating:

The rhythmical vibrations pass through the earth with almost no loss of
energy. It becomes possible to convey mechanical effects to the greatest
terrestrial distances and produce all kinds of unique effects. The invention
could be used with destructive effect in war…

Mysterious Lights

Several UFO researchers speculate many UFO sightings might actually be
“earthquake lights” caused by ‘piezoelectric’ phenomena. Piezoelectricity is
believed to be caused by crystals found in certain rocks giving off a flow
of electricity when subjected to high pressure, as in an earthquake. Lights
leaping away from mountain peaks have been seen and recorded since ancient
times.

Reports coming out of Turkey during the recent 17 August earthquake mention
mysterious lights over the west of the country. The following intriguing
eyewitness report was forwarded to Mutual UFO Network Eastern USA from
Turkey:

They are incredibly clear, circular or triangular in shape, white, yellow,
red and blue coloured, remain visible in the sky for 5 to 20 minutes,
following a materialising-dematerialising pattern. The funny thing is it
became a routine thing as they have been showing up two or three times a
week. They became an inevitable component of the TV news and media.
Furthermore, just before the quake, the bottom of the sea in Izmit went red
and the sea temperature went up to 40-45 degrees C. However, there are no
underwater volcanos in the Sea of Marmara! Starting two days before the
quake, hundreds of fish, crabs and other sea life forms died and not
naturally! Somehow, they were burned! The fish nets of the fishermen were
burned and we have several rock and stone samples from the sea, which went
black in colour. TUVPO (Turkish UFO and Paranormal Organisation) is
cooperating with the Smithsonian Institute and a few universities in the US.
We already sent them some rock and burned fishnet samples, upon their
request. Folks at TUVPO will hopefully run a spectrum analysis on the video
tapes. Some fishermen are also saying that they witnessed an explosion under
the sea. Fireballs, strange lights, sightings never ended in Turkey.3

Compare this information with what happened in the destructive 1977
earthquake that hit China. The 5 June, 1977 New York Times described the
great earthquake which destroyed Tangshan, China on July 28, 1976, killing
over 650,000 people:

Just before the first tremor at 3:42 am, the sky lit up like daylight. The
multi-hued lights, mainly white and red, were seen up to 200 miles away.
Leaves on many trees were burned to a crisp and growing vegetables were
scorched on one side, as if by a fireball.

Tesla Effect

Some investigators believe these electrical effects were associated with
electromagnetic plasma and ball lightning and the strange array of flashes
that result from Tesla-style technology. Was this brilliant flash of
coloured light what Tesla talked about in 1935 when he mentioned “all kinds
of unique effects”? Was this earthquake an early test of the system,
conducted on the unsuspecting people of China? It certainly does not appear
it was a natural earthquake. Was the same technology tried out on Turkey?

Andrija Puharich, MD, LL.D. in January 1978, issued a detailed research
paper titled, “Global Magnetic Warfare – A Layman’s View of Certain
Artificially Induced Unusual Effects on the Planet Earth During 1976 and
1977”. He was primarily looking into Soviet experiments with Tesla
technology and believed controlled earthquakes were part and parcel of that
work. Of them he wrote: “Of the many great earthquakes of 1976, there is one
that demands special attention – the July 28, 1976 Tangshan, China
earthquake.”

The January 1978 edition of Specula magazine ran an article describing an
incredibly profound phenomenon that could be produced within the Earth by
what is called the ‘Tesla Effect.’ According to the article, electromagnetic
signals of certain frequencies can be transmitted through the Earth to form
standing waves in the Earth itself. In certain cases, coherence to this
standing wave can be induced wherein a fraction of the vast, surging
electromagnetic current of the Earth itself feeds into and augments the
induced standing wave. In other words, “much more energy is now present in
the standing wave than the ...amount being fed in from the Earth’s surface.”
By interferometer techniques, giant standing waves can be combined to
produce a focused beam of very great energy. This can then be used to
produce earthquakes induced at distant aiming points.

Tesla expressed grave concerns about the effects of this technology because
it is exactly the type of thing that could easily get out of control once it
begins vibrating within the Earth – and it could actually cause the Earth to
vibrate to pieces. Could the use of this technique have been responsible for
the great earthquake in Tangshan, China in 1976?

Another leading Tesla researcher and nuclear engineer, Lt. Col. Thomas
Bearden, lecturing at a Symposium of the US Psychotronics Association (USPA)
in 1981 stated:

Tesla found that he could set up standing waves… in the earth (the molten
core), or, just set it up through the rocks – the telluric activity in the
rocks would furnish activity into these waves and one would get more
potential energy in those waves than he put in. He called the concept the
Tesla Magnifying Transmitter (TMT).

Bearden goes on to explain how TMTs worked:

They will go through anything. What you do is that you set up a standing
wave through the earth and the molten core of the earth begins to feed that
wave (we are talking Tesla now). When you have that standing wave, you have
set up a triode. What you’ve done is that the molten core of the earth is
feeding the energy and it’s like your signal – that you are putting in – is
gating the grid of a triode… Then what you do is that you change the
frequency. If you change the frequency one way (start to dephase it), you
dump the energy up in the atmosphere beyond the point on the other side of
the earth that you focused upon. You start ionising the air, you can change
the weather flow patterns (jet streams etc) – you can change all that – if
you dump it gradually, real gradually – you influence the heck out of the
weather. It’s a great weather machine. If you dump it sharply, you don’t get
little ionisation like that. You will get flashes and fireballs (plasma)
that will come down on the surfaces of the earth… you can cause enormous
weather changes over entire regions by playing that thing back and forth.

HAARP: The Pentagon’s Ultimate Weapon

In an Arctic compound 450 kilometres 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 kilometres above the earth with
high-frequency radio waves.

Why irradiate the charged particles of the ionosphere (which when energised
by natural processes make up the lovely and famous phenomenon known as the
Northern Lights)? According to the US Navy and Air Force, co-sponsors of the
project, “to observe the complex natural variations of Alaska’s ionosphere.”
As well, admit the Pentagon, to develop new forms of communications and
surveillance technologies to enable the military to send signals to nuclear
submarines and to peer deep underground.

Ever since the existence of HAARP became public, a number of independent
researchers have warned the operation has a secret agenda including weather
modification, mind control, hi-tech military experiments, and the triggering
of earthquakes. Alarmingly, HAARP technology appears well suited to enforce
a host of the oppressive goals and agendas of the New World Order.

HAARP transmissions may also be used for the detection and monitoring of
electromagnetic or “plasma” phenomena, precursors of seismic activity and
tectonic movement. Researchers believe HAARP transmissions are actually
being used to activate or trigger exactly the same electromagnetic
conditions that can cause tectonic movement.

Jerry Smith in his book HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy, warns
many atmospheric scientists working on the secretive military project might
be unaware of HAARP’s grave potential to wreak havoc on the earth. He
writes:

If HAARP is a TMT [Tesla Magnifying Transmitter], and these researchers
correctly understand Tesla’s work, we could be in a lot of trouble. It is
quite possible that the scientists working on HAARP do not know that they
are playing with… Beyond that their ignorance might be compounded if HAARP
is indeed a secretive black-ops military project. The military has devised a
way of keeping secrets called ‘compartmentalisation’ where each unit knows
only what it needs to know… Only the control group knows what’s going on… If
there is a control group familiar with TMTs directing the actions of
scientists unschooled in Tesla technology, those lower level operatives
could be directed to wreak havoc with created weather or manufactured
earthquakes….

Vast Amounts of Energy

In 1966, Professor Gordon J. F. MacDonald was associate director of the
Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of
California, Los Angeles, a member of the US President’s Science Advisory
Committee, and later a member of the US President’s Council on Environmental
Quality.

He published papers on the use of environmental-control technologies for
military purposes. MacDonald made a revealing comment: “The key to
geophysical warfare is the identification of environmental instabilities to
which the addition of a small amount of energy would release vastly greater
amounts of energy. “

World-renowned scientist MacDonald developed ideas for using the environment
as a weapon system and he contributed to what was, at the time, only in the
wildest dream of a futurist. When he wrote his chapter, “How To Wreck The
Environment,” for the book Unless Peace Comes, he was not kidding around. In
it he describes the use of weather manipulation, climate modification, polar
ice cap melting or destabilisation, ozone depletion techniques, earthquake
engineering, ocean wave control and brain wave manipulation using the planet
’s energy fields.
He speculated these types of weapons would be developed and, when used,
would be virtually undetectable by their victims. Is HAARP one such weapon?

Cohen’s Admission

In 1997 the US Secretary of Defense, William Cohen, delivered a speech on
terrorism at the University of Georgia. Reuters quoted him as saying,
“Precautions against unconventional arms must be intensified as potential
terrorists develop chemical and biological weapons and electromagnetic
methods that could create holes in the ozone layer or trigger earthquakes or
volcanoes.”

Cohen’s admission reveals he has direct knowledge of such potential weapons.
But it’s hard to conceive of “terrorists developing the capacity to “trigger
earthquakes”. Hardly, when one considers the Pentagon’s HAARP project. A
more likely explanation is that Cohen was warning against allowing such
technology to spread to other countries.

Outback Mystery

The weapons used in World War III will make the atomic and hydrogen bombs
look like toys. At present, the centerpiece of the Russian arsenal is called
the star-reflector cannon. The United States has the Strategic Defense
Initiative, and the extension of this is ‘microplasma.’
— Shoko Asahara, 19 April, 1993, leader of Aum Shinrikyo

A mysterious incident in the outback of Western Australia, reported in New
Dawn No. 41 (March-April 1997), directly relates to the subject of man-made
earthquakes.

Late on the evening of May 28, 1993, something radiated shock waves outward
across hundreds of miles of scrub and desert. Around the same time, truck
drivers crossing the region and gold prospectors camping nearby saw the dark
sky illuminated by bright flashes, and they as well as other people heard
the distant rumble of loud explosions.

The mysterious event might have been lost to history except for the interest
of investigators in Australia and the United States, who eventually came to
speculate if the upheaval was the work of the Japanese Aum Shinrikyo group
accused of the poison-gas attack on Tokyo subways in 1995. At the time Aum
had set up an advanced laboratory on a 500,000-acre property near the
puzzling upheaval.

The disturbance shook the earth on May 28, 1993, but it was not until after
the Tokyo attack of March 1995, that an Australian geologist, Harry Mason,
brought the seismic upset to the attention of Australian Federal Police and
later to US investigators.

Seismic observatories in Australia tracked the event to a location 28.47
degrees south latitude, 121.73 degrees east longitude, a remote area near
the group’s property.

Mason’s 19-page report summarised interviews he had conducted with people
who were in the remote area on that clear moonless night. They saw the sky
ablaze, heard loud explosions and felt the ground shake, in one case
knocking beer cans off a table. Mason noted that earthquakes were very rare
in the region and that mining explosions were illegal at night.

Mason now believes the explosion was caused by “a very advanced
electromagnetic weapons system.” He also thinks that the red dome witnessed
on the night of 28 May, 1993 was a Tesla Shield, a device that theoretically
can disable nuclear weapons.

Eventually, the US-based Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology
(IRIS) calculated the event was 170 times bigger than the largest mining
explosion ever recorded in the Australian region, thus ruling out that
possibility. The disturbance was calculated as having the force of a small
nuclear explosion, perhaps equal to up to 2,000 tons of high explosives. But
the signature of the disturbance seemed to be more that of an earthquake
than a nuclear explosion.

No mention of the seismic riddle was made in well-publicised hearings the US
Senator Nunn ran in late 1995 on Aum Shinrikyo. On 15 December, 1995, Nunn
wrote to IRIS, stating that their scientific work helped Senate
investigators “rule out certain terrorist activities.”

Still, one remote possibility remained. Aum Shinrikyo had apparently studied
seismic warfare and the means of artificially triggering earthquakes.

The group apparently sent a party of its own top scientists to the former
Yugoslavia to study the work of Nicola Tesla. At the Tesla Museum in
Belgrade, the members reviewed Tesla’s thesis and other research papers
discussing such weapons.

In New Dawn No. 39, a report on the work of Aum Shinrikyo’s Science and
Technology Minister, Hideo Murai, revealed that the group was interested in
advanced weapons, including “laser-powered seismic weapons.” On 7 April,
1995 Murai responded in a press conference to a question about a rumoured
‘earthquake machine’. He remarked there was a strong possibility the Kobe
earthquake was activated using “electromagnetic power,” or that somebody
used a device that “applied force inside the earth.”

Shortly after this press conference, a lone assassin stabbed Hideo Murai to
death in full view of the Japanese media. Was Murai murdered to silence him?
He was one of Aum’s most visible figures with fluent English and a pleasant
demeanour that made him an international spokesman.

An Aum Shinrikyo book, Disaster Approaches the Land of the Rising Sun,
devotes considerable space on how to guard against radiation,
electromagnetic pulses, biological and chemical weapons, as well as more
exotic laser, microwave and plasma weaponry.

It can be assumed the Aum Shinrikyo group actively researched and even
possibly tested advanced weapons from a defensive point of view. Aum leaders
were convinced the United States had already used such weapons against their
personnel and property, and this may have driven the group’s leaders into a
paranoid frame of mind.

Future War

Often we are told technological research in the military field is ten or
more years ahead of what we see today. Frightening and controversial
projects like HAARP, with applications ranging from superbeam weapon to
worldwide mind control, should be of great concern to us all. And most
worrying is mounting evidence that the US military now has the ability to
create earthquakes – the ultimate weapon of war.

Could the recent earthquakes in Turkey, Tiawan, Greece and Mexico be
experimental test runs? If so, how many more earthquakes will it take before
this technology can be directed at a chosen ‘enemy’? It’s a disturbing
thought and one we all should consider as the forces of the New World Order
gather pace in their quest for global control.
