Warning of Tsunami?

After the deadly tsunami struck last week, many were quick to send donations to various organization and groups. A number of governments also pledged millions in aid, with the total as of now around $2 billion, a staggering figure demonstrating the severity of the situation. Yet the true culprit behind the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people is not the tsunami, but clearly greater forces that are at work. The most obvious is, of course, third-world poverty which meant a lack of infrastructure to deal with such a catastrophe, or even warn about it. But not so fast says a Canadian Professor, who claims that an American Navy Base in the Indian Ocean was notified of the earthquake, while millions were denied the information.
Prof. Michel Chossudovsky of the University of Ottawa asks in an analysis produced for the Venus Project why fishermen in India, Sri Lanka and Thailand were not provided with the same warnings as the US Navy and the US State Department. He wants to know why the US State Department remained mum on the existence of an impending catastrophe. With a modern communications system, why did the information not get out? By email, telephone, fax, satellite TV, he asks, as it could have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

The Professor has a number of questions about the warning system and many will probably never be answered. Although he clearly is no fan of American foreign policy, even pointing out the folly of appointing a senior commander from the invasion of Iraq to the relief effort, his questions are important ones and his analysis is equally poignant. Undoubtedly, we will find that a disaster like this can be prevented, but it will involve greater support from rich countries like the U.S.

    Washington's New World Order Weapons Have the Ability to Trigger Climate Change
    by Michel Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics, University of Ottawa

    Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG)
    4 January 2002

    The important debate on global warming under UN auspices provides but a partial picture of climate change; in addition to the devastating impacts of greenhouse gas emissions on the ozone layer, the World's climate can now be modified as part of a new generation of sophisticated "non-lethal weapons." Both the Americans and the Russians have developed capabilities to manipulate the World's climate.

    In the US, the technology is being perfected under the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) as part of the ("Star Wars") Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI). 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 destabilising agricultural and ecological systems of entire regions.

    This man believes that scientists know enough about the complex system that is the weather, to alter it? This man is nuts! Consider your source prior to posting crazy ideas!
