- Aircraft exhaust, like any hydrocarbon combustion exhaust, contains chemicals you would not want to breath, like carbon monoxide. This is not disputed.
- Aircraft contrails are a problem for planes in wartime, and during WWII they were dangerous as they made the planes more visible. This is not disputed.
- Contrails are made of ice crystals. This is not disputed.
- If a contrail forms, or does not form, then the exhaust gasses are the same. This is not disputed.
- So, if a contrail forms, the exhaust is no more dangerous than if a contrail does not form. So it makes no sense to say the contrail is harmful. The contrail is simply the same exhaust, made visible by the addition of water.
- The formation of contrails is fairly well understood. Even back in 1921, the basic mechanism was known:

...there is an evolutionary spiritual process that is experienced individually with a start date of the spring equinox in Aries. It presumes either successive lives or non-linear time. It presumes that the equinoctial point is only significant for an individual birth at certain apocalyptic moments i.e. the horsemen of the apocalypse i.e. the disasters that periodically happen on earth which alter in some significant way the heavenly order. This would also be a good way to tell if that age is upon us because we would see the heavenly order altered...
As far as precession - to the best of my knowledge I believe it is caused by the orbit of our solar system with another system(s) and that we are a binary or trinary. In my very early days at ATS someone gave me a link to a research facility called the Binary Research Institute and I was immediately smitten. But you know this because you mention Walter Cruttenden. So no argument with you here.
...
NASA said in 2002 or so that we were transitioning to Aquairius. To me, they were the keepers of the equinoctial points. I'm not discounting anything that you have said about demarcation lines and I fully appreciate the significance of those. I am saying that in flux, demarcation points become nebulous and in flux it is best to appreciate the last piece of solid ground. Comparing this time to the dark of the moon we might even say that there is nothing and yet all things are possible. Also, I don't know if retrograde applies to precession but if it does, we may both be right.
Mass sacrifices are a theme of Pisces, not Aquarius - that is my astrological reason for believing that we are approaching decisive milestones but we are not yet there.
The dark side of the Age of Aquarius is mind-control - extermination - and revenue generation.
Perhaps the earliest-recognized and best-known danger of molecular nanotechnology is the risk that self-replicating nanorobots capable of functioning autonomously in the natural environment could quickly convert that natural environment (e.g., “biomass”) into replicas of themselves (e.g., “nanomass”) on a global basis, a scenario usually referred to as the “gray goo problem” but perhaps more properly termed “global ecophagy.”
Unlike almost any other natural material, biomass can serve both as a source of carbon and as a source of power for nanomachine replication. Ecophagic nanorobots would regard living things as environmental carbon accumulators, and biomass as a valuable ore to be mined for carbon and energy. Of course, biosystems from which all carbon has been extracted can no longer be alive but would instead become lifeless chemical sludge.
Waves of infrasound are invisible, but slam into living tissue and physical structures with great force. The sensation vibrates internal organs and buildings, flattening objects as the sonic wave strikes. At certain pitches, it can explode matter.
HAARP is a very specific construct that massively heats the ionosphere in a specific location, a small portion of a place called the electrojet. As a byproduct (or with intent - we don't know) it produces, among other effects most unknown, very low frequency waves which are harmful to human beings. Read about the effects of these waves here if you like
HAARP does heat a small portion of the ionosphere above Gakona, Alaska but electrojets are not "a place", they are electrical currents which flow through the ionosphere.
(geophysics) An intense current that flows in a relatively narrow band of the auroral zone ionosphere during disturbances of the magnetosphere.
HAARP is located in a region where large natural currents, known as the auroral electrojet flow through the ionosphere.
When combined with the electric field that drives the auroral electrojet, the result is a current that oscillates and thus radiates at the modulation frequency: a ELF antenna in the ionosphere.
Point the HF beam toward the electrojet position in order to enhance the production of ELF/VLF waves.
Enhancement of the ELF/VLF wave amplitude could sometimes be achieved by pointing the HF beam in a direction other than vertical, leading to the conclusion that ELF/VLF wave production is optimized when the HF beam has is pointed toward the electrojet position [Garnier et al., 1998].
HAARP can heat that small region above the installation by several hundred degrees Kelvin (that's about 27º Celsius). Not sure I'd call that exactly "massive".
Bernard Eastlund at 2:51: "Applications discussed in the patents included destroying missiles, communications control and disruption were included; there were some other ideas both to possibly modify weather and finally to lift a portion of the upper atmosphere further out into space where hopefully it would be able to deflect missile trajectories."
You provided a link about infrasound. The VLF radiation which HAARP induces is not sound, it is electromagnetic radiation.
ELF is an acronym for Extremely Low Frequency. In general, ELF refers to part of the electromagnetic spectrum with frequencies from 1 to 300 Hz. In radio and atmospheric studies, ELF refers to radio waves with frequencies between 30 and 3000 Hz.
Infrasound is sound below the level of human hearing. The frequency of a sound is measured in Hertz (Hz) and the infrasonic range is generally considered to be between 1 and 20 Hz.
Figure 2.6 shows the electromagnetic spectrum and where some of the various transmission media operate. Along the right-hand side is the terminology that the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) applies to the various bands: Extremely low, very low, low, medium, high, very high (VHF), ultrahigh (UHF), superhigh (SHF), extremely high (EHF), and tremendously high frequencies (THF) are all various forms of radio bands.
Extremely low frequency (ELF). The ELF frequency range is from 3 to 30Hz, and it can transmit signals 5,000 miles or more. As currently used, ELF propagates through the earths substrate. ELF waves produce high-power sounds that can penetrate ocean depths to several hundred feet
You said "a small portion of a place called the electrojet". There is no place called the electrojet. It is clear you do not understand the terms you use and this one thing which leads you to reach invalid conclusions.
What does this have to do with my statement? It's the electrojet they're after. And the river just happens to flow right by their house.
No. The electrojet is an electrical current. The IRI heats a small portion of the ionosphere. I don't know what you mean when you say "carom wallop".
And so it heats a very small part of the electrojet or many small parts depending on the source you read and whether or not they're going for a carom wallop.
I would call it heating. Not "massive heating".
Be fair. Results like these would be classed as what then - mini?:
Obviously. Another case of your lack of understanding leading you to invalid conclusions. You make the mistake of thinking that because both sound and electromagnetic radiation have a property called frequency they are the same thing. They are not.
You're going to have to help me out here. (Putting aside your statement about it being far less than natural sources for the moment.) They seem like the same thing to me. In fact, I'm having a terrible time telling them apart.
Another case of your lack of understanding leading you to invalid conclusions.
The term "extremely low" is used to describe any frequency below 300 Hz.
Infrasound shares some of the ELF characteristics, in that it can travel long distances with little loss of energy.
Soundwaves are examples of periodicity, of rhythm. Sound is measured in cycles per second (Hertz or Hz). Each cycle of a wave is in reality a single pulse of sound. The average range of hearing for the human ear is somewhere between 16 hz. and 20,000 Hz. We can not hear extremely low frequencies (ELFs), but we can perceive them as rhythmic.
Entrainment is the process of synchronization, where vibrations of one object will cause the vibrations of another object to oscillate at the same rate. External rhythms can have a direct effect on the psychology and physiology of the listener.
Electromagnetic waves are typically described by any of the following three physical properties: the frequency f, wavelength ?, or photon energy E.
Some ELF broadcasts from the Russians were thought to cause depression in humans. When the Russians first started transmitting in 1976, they emitted an eleven hertz signal through the earth. This ELF wave was so powerful that it upset radio communications around the world, resulting in many nations lodging protest. The U. S. Air Force identified five different frequencies the Russians were emitting in a wild ELF cocktail.
Perhaps the most exotic infrasounds originate in the depths of outer space. Scientists at NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have identified one of the lowest frequency sounds ever detected in the universe [Koczor 2003]. The source of the cosmic infrasound is believed to be a massive black hole located about 250 million light years from Earth.
The black hole sound is characterized by a frequency of less than...one-quadrillionth of a cycle per second!
The most common unit of measure for frequency is the Hertz, which is one vibrational cycle per second. So a frequency of 460 Hz means that there are 460 cycles of vibration occurring every single second.
In 1974, Dr. Colin W.F. McClare, Ph.D, an Oxford University Bio-Physicist, discovered that frequencies of vibrating energy are roughly one-hundred times more efficient in relaying information within a biological system than physical signals, such as hormones, neurotransmitters and other growth factors.
Although most frequencies exist outside of our normal range of perception, all can be perceived as both colors and sounds. So the color blue is also heard as the musical key of D, which vibrates at 587 Hz.
If we wanted to convert sound to Light, we would simply raise its frequency forty octaves.
Light is an electromagnetic wave.
No. What it is about is that electromagnetic radiation is inherently dissimilar to sound. Both in its nature and in its effects.
So an ELF (extremely low frequency wave) that has the same frequency as an infrasonic wave (sound) is not the same because even though they vibrate at the same frequency, the ELF can travel through vacuum and the infrasonic needs a medium like air or water in order to travel. Is that about it?
So if someone tells me they don't want a screwdriver but would prefer a greyhound because they won't get as drunk, have they mixed up the medium with the message? They both have 2 oz. of vodka to 5 oz. of orange juice as opposed to grapefruit juice.
Light is an electromagnetic wave.
Your analogy is meaningless. It might make a bit more sense to use a screwdriver vs a hit of '___'...but not a whole lot more.
What it is about is that electromagnetic radiation is inherently dissimilar to sound. Both in its nature and in its effects.
Neither, I said it wasn't a very good analogy but at least they are two different things. But you are still confused. Both sound and electromagnetic radiation can occur at Extremely Low Frequencies. ELF is not a thing in itself, it is a property of an oscillating thing. Any oscillating thing. A pogo stick can be operated at ELF. A bicycle wheel turns at ELF.
So would the '___' go on the side of the ELF then?
Chandra does not detect sound, it detects x-rays. The sound waves are travelling through the gas surrounding the black hole. Chandra detected the density waves in the gas. It's like seeing ripples on a pond. You don't feel them or hear them but you can see them.
If it is so dissimilar, how then did the sound from the black hole get to the Chandra?
That is incorrect. Sound cannot be converted to light by raising its frequency. However, electromagnetic radiation can be modulated (and demodulated) to carry sound. That is how a radio works.
It also says that sound can be converted to light by raising its' frequency. Is this in error as well?
I assume you're talking about electromagnetic radiation. The lower the frequency the more difficult it is to obtain any sort of directionality (primarily because of the size of the antenna required). ELF electromagnetic radiation is not very directional.
ELF's seem like they can be directed very specifically.
Again...both sound and electromagnetic radiation can occur at Extremely Low Frequencies. Electromagnetic radiation does not shake things (not without a receiver and loudspeakers anyway). Infrasound does. HAARP does not produce infrasound. Elephants do.
In other words, how do you know ELF's don't have this effect?

By modulating the ambient current flowing in the ionosphere, e.g., the auroral electrojet, it is possible to generate extremely low frequency (ELF) and very low frequency (VLF) radiation. This ionospheric modification technique can provide such waves for probing both the Earth and the ionosphere- magnetosphere.
The electrojet is modulated by using a high frequency heater (a few MHZ) with the power modulated at the desired ELF/VLF frequency to heat the ionospheric electrons in the lower D-region. Figure 1a shows a sketch of the heater and heated region. The heated region is typically at 75 km (though this depends upon the carrier frequency) and can be 30 km in diameter and a few km thick.
Viewed from above (see Figure 1b) the heated region is a roughly circular patch.
Since on ELF time scales the ambient electric field is constant, modulating the conductivity produces a current modulated at the same frequency.
The time varying current launches waves both up and down the Earth's magnetic field.
As the wave propagates in the waveguide, the top of the wave is approximately at the bottom of the ionosphere.
It strikes the ground and reflects back up to the ionosphere.
Part of the energy propagates up the field lines into the ionosphere. This is the bubble seen rising up.
These waves help form the bubble that propagates up the field line. Because of this, the diameter of the bubble is much larger than the heated region.
I assume you're talking about electromagnetic radiation. The lower the frequency the more difficult it is to obtain any sort of directionality (primarily because of the size of the antenna required). ELF electromagnetic radiation is not very directional.
Under such circumstances, the heated ionospheric area with its immediate surroundings acts as a huge ‘polar-electrojet’ antenna, radiating primarily at a frequency corresponding to the modulation frequency of the HF carrier.
Nevertheless, the degree to which modulated HF heating can be consistently used to inject ELF/VLF waves upward into the overlying magnetosphere, and the total ELF power radiated by such a source is not understood at a quantitative level.
Vic Tandy suggests that a broadcast infrasound weapon would, indeed, “cause more trouble than it is worth.” He explains: “In open air, the energy required to drive it is enormous and the effects unpredictable, ranging from serious harm to very little depending on the individual targeted. Directing infrasound is difficult because of the long wavelength, so if the weapon is to be activated by a person holding it, it would be hard to protect them from the sound.
The only points on the site that approach the EM safety standard are close to or directly under the antenna array itself.
A fence around the antenna gravel pad, about 60 feet farther out than the ground screen (about 150 feet away from the antennas all around), encloses the limited area under the antennas where fields might exceed the standard.
It is not startling at all. The propagation of any sort of long wavelength radiation is hit or miss, depending on the conditions of the ionosphere and magnetosphere. This is just as true for artificially produced (or induced) radiation as it is for naturally produced radiation. That natural radiation which is magnitudes greater than anything which can be artificially produced by HAARP. The VLF/ELF radiation produced by HAARP is very, very weak. From your source:
This last sentence is a bit startling but not really when you consider that the ionosphere has now become one big lab for military experiments.
www.agu.org...
The estimated values of power onboard DEMETER at different frequencies range from 0.32W to 4W, while the values of power estimated from a ground receiver at a distance of 36 km from HAARP range from 2.71W to 4.22W.
What do you think?
