Sorry to HAARP again, but

In June 2010, rings, loops, starbursts and other strange patterns showed up on the Australian Bureau of Meteorology radar, and given that cyclones Olga and Ului lashed Queensland, and Melbourne was bombarded with hailstones in one of the most intense and costly storms in the city's history, conspiracy theorists decided that it was all due to HAARP. However, these radar images were explained on one Australian website as subject to anomalous propagation of the radar signal which results in false echoes...anomalous propagation is easily identified and is displayed as a mass of low intensity echoes constantly changing shape with no apparent direction of movement.

Two of the primary sources for the conspiracy theory citing HAARP are Colin Andrews, an avid UFO believer and Dr Nick Begish, author of many articles on HAARP, including The Military's Pandora Box and on technology and mind control.

The heatwave in Russia in 2010 and the earthquake in Haiti in 2010 combined with recent intense rain and flooding in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria as well as the 7.5 earthquake in Northwestern Pakistan in January this year, has incited more conspiratorial conjecture resulting in a literal flooding on the Internet, Twitter and mobile text of concern that the USA may be targeting particular zones on the world map.

I'm sorry, but if the USA are so clever with this technology why have they sent so many troops to war, why didn't they just direct their high powered radio frequency device, like some kind of gamma ray from a 1950s science-fiction movie on Afghanistan, or is this what the conspirators are trying to say: that the USA was a little off target when they fired on Pakistan? Using this kind of perverse logic may we assume that someone on Capital Hill has it in for Mr Rudd? And why were we Melbournians targeted. Ridiculous! I'm just not convinced! However, having said this there are some articles by people with more noteworthy credentials than Andrews and Begish. One such article is by Professor Michel Chossudovsky - Professor of Economics, University of Ottawa who has published an article entitled: It's not only greenhouse gas emissions: Washington's New World Order weapons have the ability to trigger climate change. However, he does conclude that, While there is no concrete evidence of HAARP having been used, scientific findings suggest that it is at present fully operational. What this means is that HAARP could potentially be applied by the US military to selectively modify the climate of an "unfriendly nation" or "rogue state" with a view to destabilizing its national economy. Just as I thought, it's all fear mongering. If people have someone to blame they won't feel out of control, after all the weather is an uncontrollable and sometimes extremely destructive force.
