It’s not the ability to kill that people seek.
Its the ability to get what they want.
They have found that you will usually do what they want if otherwise they will die. But ideally, you don’t have to kill them. Just pass a law, and threaten to confiscate their property or imprison them.
But that doesn’t work with other countries. Why not? Because [i]they[/i] won’t do what you want unless you threaten to kill them.
But it all boils down to, “Have it your way.”

The official HAARP site seems like a benign project that they are spending way too much money on, but the military applications discussed on other sites are frightening.

Wonder when we will stop viewing the ability to kill as a positive thing?

It is called “HAARP”. You can do a search. The magnetic field bends light. This nuclear device disturbed the ionoshere / magnetoshpere. This is the purpose of HAARP, the U.S. military’s new weapon.

I was on a troop ship returning from a stint in Korea. The area had been cleared of commercial shipping, but our little transport was chugging along – – directly under the blast. It was my job on the ship to tune in radio stations for the troops from where ever I could find them. That evening I was listening to KPOI in Hawaii and did a count down on the ship’s PA. 3-2-1 Unbelievable. The description above was accurate. I couldn’t believe that the entire sky lit up. In fact, I was a little worried that something had gone wrong when the north-south band of white lit up and wouldn’t go away. it was obviously following the Earth’s magnetic field.

I’ll never forget it.
