I liked that movie.
One of Keanu Reeves' finest, IMHO. I think he was also in something called the Matrix. He and Ice-T were also in some flick with a cybernetic dolphin. And some cop movies.

But you have to admit that you were giving the company line minimizing HAARP's capabilities.
I was just pointing out that they
have a FAQ.
Last I checked, Area 51 doesn't have one, at least not one operated by Area 51.
Neither does Mount Weather.
So I was merely pointing out that if they wanted to keep the place secret, they.... aren't.

Also, didn't you show doubt that hurricanes can be worked on? I gave you links on Dyn-o-mat and Gel Tech Solutions. Plus there is something called environmental modification techniques.
The Dyn-O-Mite! Gel Tech guy
believes his stuff can dissipate hurricanes. Let's just say there's a lack of clinical trials so far. They do claim success in lowering the strength of a thunderstorm (*). But that doesn't get you from A to B. They "believe" it can weaken a hurricane by dropping it on the eye. That's great, except they don't seem to have tried this out, yet.
(*) This claim itself is debatable, as they say they dumped their stuff on one thunderstorm off WPB, and then it vanished off Doppler radar. Considering that storms often dissipate naturally, and AFAICT they've only tried once, I think they lack evidence here, too.
"Weakened" ... even if true ... doesn't mean anybody knows how to generate them, steer them, or use them as weapons.
P.S. there is a whacko who thinks he can turn hurricanes away from the coast with a series of giant fans.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discu...ess=105x1664000JACKSONVILLE, Florida (AP) -- Amateur hurricane-busters have come up with any number of crackpot ideas to spare Florida from ferocious storms. Among them: blowing hurricanes away with giant fans or blowing them up with nuclear warheads.
Even the federal government got into the act, with three decades of ill-fated research called "Project Stormfury"
before shelving the idea of weather modification in the 1980s.
But dozens of ideas -- part hope, part fantasy -- continue to crop up among weather wonks, Internet bloggers and others who think they have come up with a way to spare coastal residents the misery of hurricanes.
Suggestions have included coating the surface of the water with olive oil; towing an iceberg down to Florida to cool down the water temperature; or building large fans on the coast to blow away approaching storms.
"And then there was a guy who called and said he could pray them away," said Hugh Willoughby, a research professor with the International Hurricane Center at Florida International University.
By far the most outlandish proposal, and one of the most recurrent, was the idea to use a nuclear warhead to blow a hurricane out of the water.
"Hurricanes are bad enough without being radioactive," Willoughby said. "Put that genie back in the bottle. Nuclear weapons are more dangerous than hurricanes."

Willoughby says he gets dozens of suggestions a year, most of them outlandish, impractical, or simply utter bullshit.

There are tons of materials. But if you aren't a newbie and are 99% sure that chemtrails are contrails or that HAARP is a benign minor research facility, there probably isn't too much reason for us to continue.
I haven't seen much evidence that they
aren't contrails, and therefore through Ockham's Razor conclude the likeliest explanation is that they are.
As for HAARP - I repeat - the exact
same research they do there (ionospheric heating) is being conducted in Europe, Russia, and Canada. Shouldn't we be worried there as well?
