Maui leaves many wondering just what technologies governments have - analysis

The Space Preservation Act of 2001 (H.R.2977), which detailed which weapons were not included in its ban on space-based weapons, sparked debate about the extent to which the government was developing non-conventional weapons.

Just not from space

As a public bill cosponsored by 35 congressmen in its reintroduction in 2005, the government not only acknowledged various “exotic” weapons, but declared them to be legal so long as they were launched from land, sea or planes. The Act specifically limited the weapons ban to weapons systems based “60 kilometers above the surface of the earth” and, to remove any doubt, expressly stated that other weapons may be developed and produced. 

Nothing in this Act may be construed as prohibiting the use of funds for . . . (3) testing, manufacturing, or production that is not related to space-based weapons or systems; or (4) civil, commercial, or defense activities (including communications, navigation, surveillance, reconnaissance, early warning, or remote sensing) that are not related to space-based  weapons or systems.

The Act went on to specify examples of weapons systems which would be allowed to be deployed from land, sea or planes, including Directed Energy (laser) Weapons (DEWs) and “exotic weapons systems” including chemtrails and electronic harassment (psychotronic attacks).

Man-made earthquakes?

The Act clarified that “exotic weapons” includes tectonic systems designed to destroy a “target population or region.”

The term exotic weapons systems includes weapons designed to damage space or natural ecosystems . . . or climate, weather, and tectonic systems with the purpose of inducing damage or destruction upon a target population or region . . . [Emphases added].

According to NASA, tectonic plates play a significant role in earthquakes.

Tectonic Plates . . . The Earth's crust is constantly in motion. Sections of the crust, called plates, push against each other due to forces from the molten interior of the Earth. The areas where these plates collide often have increased volcanic and earthquake activity. [Emphases added].

Speculation

In including “tectonic systems” in the language of the Act, the government was referring to the technology for man-made earthquakes. Two decades later, the 7.8 magnitude earthquake on February 6, 2023 in Turkey sparked conjecture that it may have resulted from artificial means, with claims that the quake unusual and was not expected to occur in the way that it did based on historical records.

Popular Mechanics, though, was quick to downplay those claims.

Leave it to conspiracy theorists to take a little-understood technology and accuse it of high-level devastation. The latest conspiracy theory blames the United States Air Force’s High-frequency Active Auroroal Research Program (HAARP) for the tragic recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria …

The Air Force Research Laboratory owns the HAARP research facility, located near Gakona, Alaska, which was constructed in the 1990s and is now operated by the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Researchers at HAARP use a powerful high-frequency transmitter and an array of 180 HF crossed-dipole antennas to temporarily disrupt the ionosphere—the outermost layer of Earth’s atmosphere above the mesosphere, about 50 to 400 miles from Earth’s surface—in hopes of yielding potential communications and surveillance benefits. [Emphases added].

According to Popular Mechanics, the government merely “excites” the atmosphere “temporarily” to better observe it.

Scientists at HAARP use HF radio transmitters to heat small regions of the ionosphere to observe the effects. Using HAARP speeds up a process that can take satellites weeks or years to observe. “With a facility like HAARP,” the University of Alaska Fairbanks says, “it is possible to perform an experiment at will to create plasma structures and irregularities, use the ionosphere like an antenna to excite low-frequency waves, create weak luminous aurora-like glows, and a variety of other experiments.”

Scientists observe the physical processes that occur within the excited regions. [Emphases added].

Turkish news site Yeni Şafak, however, published a piece noting the unusual severity of the earthquake and of a second earthquake nearby.

In my previous column, I cited Scientist Prof. Övgün Ahmet Ercan saying, “Something extraordinary is happening. No such earthquake of this kind as been seen on the face of the earth.” . . . 

Professor of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the Canadian University of Victoria, Dr. Edwin Nissen, said: “The earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria was one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded on land. It is in the top five. Nobody was expecting such an earthquake on this faultline. . . . 

Professor of Earthquake Engineering at the University College of London, Dr. Tiziana Rossetto said: “. . . this is not a common event. It’s definitely not something we think about within a seismic design setting.” . . .

Dr. Sylvain Barbot at the University of South Carolina in the U.S. said: “There are many surprising elements. Two large earthquakes take place on two different faultlines a few hours apart. I don’t think we have seen anything of this kind before. The second earthquake is on a less known line. We call this a ‘ghost line.’ It was passive. We wouldn’t have expected it to lead to an earthquake but we were mistaken.”

Dr. Judith Hubbard from the Geology Department at New York Cornell University said: “It is not a common event. I studied earthquakes in various regions of the world for the last 20 years, this is much more complex. We can consider this earthquake as extraordinary.”

Earth Sciences professor at Washington University, Harold Tobin said: “It is an event like no other. Not only in Turkey. It is the biggest earthquake in a residential location in the world and in the last century. It was expected, but its magnitude was not anticipated.” . . .

Earth Sciences and Engineering professor at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Paul Martin Mai said: “Another large earthquake happening in the same area hours after the first one is scientifically very unusual.

The author then turned to the capabilities of HAARP.

There is a truckload of material available on HAARP and artificial earthquakes, in other words, “induced seismicity.” However, it is impossible to say it has been “proven.” Scientists are also firm about this matter. 

Yet, a correction needs to be made now: The right question is not, “can an artificial earthquake be produced?” but “can an earthquake be induced?”! We can now safely answer this question: Yes. Earthquakes can be artificially induced! … [Emphasis added].

Just induced?

Safak particularly took issue with the claim that the technology to induce earthquakes does not exist, noting human activities that regularly cause earthquakes albeit unintended. 

Even human practices such as deluging pressurized water to fault lines in order to drill shale gas/oil can cause this. [Emphasis added].

The U.S. Department of the Interior's Geological Survey, in fact, openly states that disposal of waste fluids and, to a lesser extent, fracking, have already led to many earthquakes.

Most induced earthquakes are not directly caused by hydraulic fracturing (fracking). The recent increase in earthquakes in the central United States is primarily caused by disposal of waste fluids that are a byproduct of oil production. . . . 

In Oklahoma . . . 2% of earthquakes can be linked to hydraulic fracturing operations. Given the high rate of seismicity in Oklahoma, this means that there are still many earthquakes induced by hydraulic fracturing. The remaining earthquakes are induced by wastewater disposal. The largest earthquake known to be induced by hydraulic fracturing in the United States was a magnitude 4.0 earthquake that occurred in 2018 in Texas.  [Emphases added].

When it comes to fluid injection, the size of the “induced” earthquakes can be far greater than 4.0, according to the same government agency.

The largest earthquake induced by fluid injection that has been documented in the scientific literature was a magnitude 5.8 earthquake on September 23, 2016 in central Oklahoma.  [Emphases added].

That magnitude 5.8 earthquake was almost 100 times stronger than the magnitude 4.0 earthquake caused by fracking, since the Richter magnitude scale is logarithmic. And these induced earthquakes are not even necessarily located close to the point where the fluid injection takes place. 

[T]he pressure increase created by injection can migrate substantial horizontal and vertical distances from the injection location. Induced earthquakes can occur 10 or more miles from injection wells. Induced earthquakes can also occur a few miles below injection wells. [Emphasis added].

The government also points out, in a Frequently Asked Questions section, that fluid injection may interact with a nearby fault line and that oil production has already "induced M7+ earthquakes."

Is there any possibility that a wastewater injection activity could interact with a nearby fault to trigger a major earthquake that causes extensive damage over a broad region?

So far, there is no documented example linking injection operations to triggering of major earthquakes. However, we cannot eliminate this possibility. Other human activities--for example oil production in Uzbekistan--have induced M7+ earthquakes.  [Emphasis added].

The government goes on to explain why some techniques for oil production lead to earthquakes.

Enhanced oil recovery involves the injection of water, steam or carbon dioxide into the formation from which oil and gas are extracted. These operations try to sweep the oil and gas towards wells that are extracting them. Enhanced oil recovery wells usually operate for years or decades and can produce large volumes of wastewater.  [Emphasis added].

The agency prepared this chart and an accompanying statement to show how a sharp uptick in earthquake activity corresponded with fluid injection.

The central United States has undergone a dramatic increase in seismicity over the past 6 years. From 1973-2008, there was an average of 24 earthquakes of magnitude 3 and larger per year. From 2009-2014, the rate steadily increased, averaging 193 per year and peaking in 2014 with 688 earthquakes. So far in 2015, there have been 430 earthquakes of that size in the central U.S. region through the end of May. [Emphases added].
