As it is also shown in Part 2 of Yoichi Shimatsu’s article (Victory
for Shambhala)
the apocalyptic ideology of Shoko Asahara has
been influenced for a good part by the Shambhala
Myth of the Kalachakra-Tantra. One characteristic
of this end time prophecy is the obsession of cosmic weaponry. Already
in the first chapter of the Tantra seven
exceptionally destructive arts of weapon are described (verses 135-145). This really un-Buddhist obsession of armament is taken by Asahara very seriously and he did transport it from the
world of religious imagination into reality, in the most destructive form
of warfare. His right hand in this venture was his “science and technology
minister” Hideo Murai. (See

The Life,
Death and Secret Weapons Research of Hideo Murai,
Science and Technology
Minister of Aum Shinrikyo

Synopsis:
Hideo Murai, the late Aum
Shinrikyo science and technology minister, was
one of the most intelligent Japanese who ever lived, with an IQ higher
than Einstein’s. He studied astrophysics, concentrating on X-ray
detection. His field, it turns out, was the key to developing new types
of weapons more powerful than nuclear bombs, which are still being
developed and tested by Japan’s
military-industrial complex after his death. Murai’s
most outrageous claim was that Kobe
was destroyed with laser-powered seismic weapons—a claim many in the
media scoffed. But a closer look at Murai’s own
research in Kobe
shows that the possibility should not be discounted.

Murai, in green jacket, is stabbed by ethnic
Korean hitman Hiroyuki Jo,

crew
records the murder in front of Aum’s Tokyo press office in
April ‘95.
The first thing to understand about the most
intelligent Japanese who ever lived is that he was a burakumin—he
came from an underclass, a subgroup that has remained impoverished,
discriminated against and morally damned by Japanese society. That’s why he
wasn’t accepted at a top school such as Tokyo
University or Kyoto University,
and wasn’t in the ranks of Japan’s
academic scientific elite.
Had he been born a regular commoner instead of a
“new” commoner (which is how the social station was redefined by Meiji Era
democratic reforms), he’d probably still be alive and on his way to earning
a Nobel Prize in science. Instead, he became the science chief of an
apocalyptic sect and was murdered in a brutal knife attack. Anyone raised under a social system like the ones in England, Japan
or India
knows one thing: Class kills.
Being brilliant, he made the grade to be accepted as a graduate student in
science at a second-tier school, Osaka
University. His
chosen field was astrophysics, particularly the study of cosmic rays,
specifically X-rays. Being non-visible energy, the radiation of very short
wavelength requires numerical measurement, which means the handling of vast
amounts of data. In college Murai developed the program for a personal computer
that run the algorithms for his calculations, a fact that impressed his
professors. (This presumably was the prototype of the “green computer” used
by Kiyohide Hayakawa to conduct measurements for
electromagnetic weapons tests in West Australia.)
To Murai’s great misfortune, he did not get an
appointment after graduation at the major public research institute like
the Science and Technology Agency’s programs in Tsukuba. Instead he was
hired by a most unlikely private employer—Kobe Steel. The job, at least,
was higher paying than a public job, and it was located in beautiful Kobe. From his company
dormitory, it was an easy bicycle journey for a weekend of camping on Mount Rokko or even to the forests of Shikoku Island. At Kobe Steel, also, he met
a young female employee, who would become his wife.
His research work at Kobe Steel was to develop a radically new way
of casting steel. This much is known about his research at the Kobe Steel
laboratory, which was totally destroyed in the Great Hanshin Earthquake of
1995. There are obvious reasons why his work there remains shrouded in
secrecy, so much so that even the Japanese police have been unable to
crack. Like much else in the Aum affair—the nerve
gas attacks, for example—an understanding of science and technology can
illumine the type of challenges and problems the Aum
scientists faced.
Based on advanced Soviet studies in electromagnetism that were leaked to
the West in the latter half of the 1970s, Japanese physicists were opening
the doors to new applications of electromagnetic (EM) energy. (The Japanese interest is obvious—vastly more
efficient uses of energy, with superconductivity, EM levitation and even
untested cold fusion—could help energy-poor Japan weather future shocks
like the oil boycott of the early 1970s.)
One Soviet industrial application of EM energy is “cold molding”
of steel. Cold molding because hot molten
steel is problematic. When casting very large objects, the metal tends to
crack when cooling—these cracks are not necessarily visible, but can be
microscopic crazing of crystalline structures. Welding is a good example of
how microcracks lead to megadamage—ruptured pipelines in Arctic regions
are nearly all due to such cracking.
Submarine hulls are another example of
crack-vulnerable steel—which make the work of sinking subs all the more
easier for depth charges. Molten steel is also difficult to handle in very
small (nanostructures) objects, for microrobots.
Hot molds leave rough edges that need to be
ground—a task nearly impossible for complicated parts the size of a
pinhead.
How is cold molding
done? When two or more beams of intense microwave energy are focused on
metal, they create a second wavelength due to interference. This secondary
energy can cause a resonant vibration in the chemical-electrical bonds
which the iron molecules in a crystalline structure. The rupture of these
bonds and the collapse of the crystalline structure will turn the metal
into a cold liquid state. After a short period of time, new bonds are
formed and the metal hardens into its new shape.
Practical application of this rather esoteric technology is a matter
of controlling the conditions in the lab site. Powerful electromagnetic
radiation ionizes the air and any impurities in the steel, causing the
creation of a plasma, or ionized gas, of extremely high
temperatures. So high that it would vaporize the steel and even the lab
equipment. To prevent a horrible accident and conduct the experiment
flawlessly, research scientists like Murai must have conceived
of EM shields, that is, protective screens and clothing.
The most obvious means of controlling plasma
is by containing the experiment—as in a fusion reactor—with electromagnets,
either in a donut or sphere-shaped vessel. Finally, his subject
of study—steel itself—was problematic because it is highly magnetic.
It would tend to defect the radiation, channel it into unexpected paths
along field lines and into magnetic poles, like the ones in the Earth; it
would tend to shudder and fragment and dance unpredictably instead of
collapsing smoothly; and when it collapsed it would release bursts of
radiation, sometimes of explosive dimensions.
These practical problems undoubtedly opened the way to new insights for Murai into the potential of EM radiation—as the
energy that would drive the supreme weapons of the next century.
Here, we can probe beyond these speculative probabilities because Murai discussed these matters in Aum
Shinrikyo’s radio program “Euangelion Tes Basileias.” Broadcast December 4, 1994, (transcript
published in “Disaster Approaches the Land of the Rising Sun”: Aum Publishing, 1995), a roundtable discussion of the
Final War was held by Murai, Asahara, Hayakawa,
a sect member who studied physics at Tokyo University, Dr. Ikuo
Hayashi and others. Murai focused on the
current state of EM weapons development research in general.
He stated that American researchers with the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) program were studying X-rays to incapacitate ballistic
missiles. “However, this employs a nuclear bomb to generate X-rays, so it
is hard to use on the ground.” X-rays are difficult to generate in
sufficiently powerful amounts, he concluded.
Murai then discussed alternatives to X-ray
technology: generation of EM beams using lasers and plasma. He discounted
the use of ultraviolet (used to induce chemical reactions, kill bacteria)
and visible light lasers, as they are useless for manipulating metal.
Infrared, or heat lasers, including CO and CO2 lasers, are used
for cuffing and welding, and he states they have a high energy level. But
his interest seemed to dwell on submillimeter
waves of sort used in electron-beam weapons. “And it is being studied by
militaries.”
Laser-driven EM weapons could then be used to produce plasma or ionized
gas of about 4,000 C. Plasma
could be used to knock out missile midair or vaporize the human contents
inside hardened bunkers, as what happened to some 4,000 Iraqi troops in the
Gulf War, Murai claimed.
Murai asserted that plasma could be created outside the
laboratory. “Plasma can be generated at the intersection of microwaves
coming from three directions. To use it effectively to generate plasma at
any point on the Earth it should be designed so that it can be deployed
from space, that is, from artificial satellites…. There is a high
possibility that a plasma weapon is actually in place.”
His immediate concern was to protect Aum from the new class of weapons. He said he
suspected that Asahara’s driver had been targeted
with laser “blinding” weapons (and sustained some eye damage), in an
attempt to assassinate the Guru. Murai designed
reflective, filtering goggles to protect the driver. He noted the health
effects of EM, and was also working on developing aluminum
coated Mylar for protective coating against electromagnetic radiation.
His goal was to produce a see-through metallic net
against electromagnetism for Asahara limousine.
Iron nets, however, he cautioned create plasma, and even copper nets
created some microplasma and tended to
melt because of electrical resistance. Murai finally admits the
only real protection against EM beams and lasers would be a magnetic
shield.
What this radio discussion does is provide some insights into his research
work—and the related technical problems—at Kobe Steel and later as Aum’s science chief possibly conducting under contract
with foundations financed by Japan’s science ministry and
major corporations. The cold molding
experiments in Kobe Steel’s waterfront lab probably used three convergent
microwave beams. But the crystalline structure may not have always
collapsed into a cold melt.
At high energy levels, they may have created
plasma powerful enough to destroy the steel molecules and cause havoc in
the lab. Because of the harmful effects of radiation on the human body, Murai and his colleagues probably tried to shield the
experiments inside a magnetic sphere to prevent a potential plasma
discharge, which could have easily killed someone. He must have succeeded,
as massive electromagnetic disturbances were reported in the ionosphere
above Kobe
during the six months before the Hanshin Earthquake.
In 1994, the New York
chapter of Aum contacted the Tesla Society,
based in that city, to gain access to Nikola Tesla’s patents and designs.
In January 1995, Aum sent six members of a Japan
Tesla Society it inaugurated to the Tesla
Museum in Belgrade to seek out his notebooks. The
Croatian Serb inventor (1856-1943) is, of course, a legend, not least for
the fact that he reputedly caused an artificial earthquake in Manhattan and Colorado
and for his boasting that he could split the Earth like an apple.
He also invented the radio before Marconi, created
AC electrical current and transformed Westinghouse Corp. from a
manufacturer of pumps into a giant of the electrical industry. Thomas Edison feared his genius
and mounted highly unethical media campaigns to destroy Tesla’s
reputation—which the curmudgeon partially succeeded in doing, though
Tesla’s inventions powered Westinghouse into the 20th century.
Despite his penchant for dramatic stunts—like casting massive bolts of
artificial lightning and illuminating lightbulbs
from miles away without wires Tesla’s theories were based on intimations
that the Earth—a spinning ball of iron repelling with its
electromagnetic field the lethal tides of the solar wind—is a massive
electromagnet that ceaselessly creates power of unimaginable proportions.
This latent power, he knew, could be tapped without great technical
difficulty to give humankind nearly unlimited power for peaceful uses or
for the most diabolical warfare.
The Aum members reported to Murai that many of Tesla’s
most important papers were confiscated by the U.S. government and remain
classified. And that Tesla’s name, practically unknown in Japan, is a household word to scientists of
the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
Japanese scientists, in short, were being locked out of the 21st century.
But not entirely excluded. In the late-1980s, after the Armenian
earthquake, the Soviet Union and Japan created a joint seismic
study project. Rumors persist in Tokyo that at one
meeting, which included government officials, the Soviet side offered to
sell Japan a technology that could create earthquakes. After this initial
approach, the entire subject apparently became top secret, those who
attended the meeting reversed their testimony and denied such an offer had
been made, and no further mention has since ever occurred.
On January 8, 1995-- nine days before the Great Hanshin Earthquake—Guru Shoko Asahara
predicted in a radio broadcast that an earthquake was imminent in Kobe: "Japan will be attacked by an
earthquake in 1995. The most likely place is Kobe.” Did a machine cause the Kobe earthquake like Murai claimed at the April
7 news conference at the Foreign Correspondents Club in Japan? In response to a
question about the earthquake machine, he replied, “In Kobe before
the quake, there were several factors present: large scale construction
(new mega-bridge, skyscrapers, port facilities), the phenomenon of pink-colored light radiating in the sky immediately before
the quake, a strong electromagnetic reading was recorded, the tidal power
of the Moon and sun was at its maximum, and the density of radium released
from the ground rose and then disappeared,” he said at the FCCJ.
“There is a strong possibility of the activation
of an earthquake using electromagnetic power, or somebody may have used a
device that applied force inside the Earth.” Along this line of inquiry, if
we hypothetically discount a natural temblor and accept the possibility of
an artificially induced earthquake, two scenarios stand out:
- Kobe was destroyed intentionally by the government of Russia or the United States—or possibly North Korea
- or the Hanshin quake was
triggered by an accidental electromagnetic discharge
Aum Shinrikyo holds to the former, that the Kobe
quake was an act of war, a field experiment in mass destruction similar to
the dropping of an atomic bomb on Hiroshima
and a plutonium weapon on Nagasaki
in 1945. They point the finger at America. The following are
quotes from Disaster Approaches the Land of the Rising Sun: “On that
very day (January 17, 1995), a joint Japanese-American conference on
disaster preparedness was being held in Osaka. There were experts in various
kinds of disasters, such as earthquakes. They immediately went to Kobe after the
earthquake occurred... Did they know the ‘appointed’ date of the
earthquake, standing by in nearby Osaka
until the earthquake occurred?”
Aum concludes: “The city of Kobe was hit by a surprise attack.
Moreover, the hanshin area has all the aspects an
infrastructure of a city within a small area. It was the best place for
simulating an earthquake-weapon attack against a big city such as Tokyo. Kobe was the
appropriate guinea pig.”
In favor of this rather
bizarre theory are:
- the Kobe area was the stronghold of the
opposition Socialist Party and, so for political reasons, a disaster
there would help undermine the Murayama government (Prime Minister Tomuchi Murayama was a Socialist)
- the multibillion-dollar Port of Kobe
was financed with Deutschemark bond issues in Germany and so a devastating attack on Kobe would
disrupt the re-emerging Japan-German economic axis
- Kobe was the center of the most
vulnerable banks in Japan
because of the strong yakuza influence there and so it was the
Achilles heel of the Japanese financial system
Would America commit such an immoral
crime? In the Japanese imagination, the country that dropped the A-bombs is
capable of anything.
A variation of this theory needs also to be suggested: that Russia or North
Korea used electromagnetic weapons against Kobe to cripple Japan
and to scapegoat the United
States through an Aum
propaganda campaign. (Many of Asahara’s more
violent predictions were timed with the return of Kiyohide
Hayakawa following his visits to Pyongyang
and Moscow.)
Aum published a map with Kobe
at the epicenter of convergent circles—but the
map also included the entire Korean
Peninsula, indicating
perhaps some significant relationship.
The other possibility is that Kobe
may have been the victim of an accidental discharge of electromagnetic
power. The conditions
were ideal for a manmade quake:
- two parallel faultlines along a narrow shore, dams in the hills
(seismologists attribute several quakes to dam construction)
- a high-powered Bullet
Train line tunnel cut through the rock of Mount Rokko
- a massive bridge being
build across Awaji Channel (the epicenter)
- convergence of powerlines and deep steel pilings on artificial
islands in Kobe
Bay
All Kobe
needed was someone to pull the trigger. By 1995, the Kobe Steel lab—located
along the Otsuki faultline
in Kobe’s
waterfront—may have discharged sufficient energy to have accidentally
triggered a quake. The electromagnetic beams and their configuration used
for cold molding steel is,
for all practical purposes, identical to the Soviet seismic weapon.
The only difference is the level of power, but by 1995 Kobe Steel may have
acquired the sufficiently powerful energy boosters.
By the early 1980s, Russia
was shipping Procyon energy boosters,
an invention of Andrei Sahkarov, to the U.S. Army’s Redstone testing center. This was a key technology for the Vladivostok-to-Vancouver
missile defense plan. One of the major problems
in creating a wide area of plasma is energy, or the lack of it. A shield
large enough to cover a mid-size U.S. state would require all the world’s electrical output.
The Procyon can produce that much energy—for a fraction of
a second (that is enough to get the job done). Other reusable Russian
energy devices do much the same (though not quite as powerful) over longer
periods of time, making space-based anti-missile defense
a real possibility. This technological leap explains why the Republicans
are now so gung-ho to revive SDI.
Was Murai’s research financed by the government
after he left Kobe Steel to work fulltime with Aum?
After 2-1/2 years at Kobe Steel—during which time he studied yoga with Asahara’s group—Murai got married in Nepal,
joined Aum Shinrikyo’s
priesthood in 1986 and became the head of its science unit. Evidence
gathered in Australia
and elsewhere (to be discussed in future issues of Archipelago) indicates
that Murai’s research may have received covert
funding under Japan’s
Star Wars program.
(Although SDI was terminated by the U.S. Congress
in 1989, Japanese covert funding to major corporations has apparently
sustained the research in the U.S., Japan and Russia; the BMDO (Ballistic
Missile Defense Organization) is now more of
a Japanese-engineered program than a strictly Pentagon operation).
Star Wars was the pet project of former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, who took a keen
personal in future weaponry. Did Hideo
Murai ever deliver an executive briefing
to the former Prime Minister and his aides and political associates?
Murai gave his only interview to the foreign
press on April 5, 1995, when he met two American journalists for a
45-minute discussion. At that time, he said he was ready to disclose
everything to the police and the FBI. In less than three weeks, and just
one week before he was planning to turn himself in to the police, Hideo Murai was stabbed to death by an ethnic Korean, who was
affiliated with a yakuza organization
known to be a political ally of Nakasone—as
TBS videotaped the scene, perhaps to make sure he would never speak again.
Why did electromagnetic weapons appeal so much to Japanese defence planners
and the military-industrial complex? Mainly because they are billed as
defensive weapons systems and, therefore, do not violate the Constitution.
This also explains Murai’s eagerness to protect
his sect and his country from a militaristic United States (anyone who
doesn’t think America is militaristic had better take a look at the size of
the Pentagon budget and the Department of Energy’s own advanced research
into electromagnetic weapons.)
As the next century approaches, the rule for
winning tomorrow’s wars is changing from the smart-bomb Gulf War days: The
best offence is a strong defence. Whoever can disable another country’s
nuclear and conventional forces in the air, under the sea and on the ground
will emerge as the winner in the 21st century wars.
The bad news for the world is that the electromagnetic experiments,
initiated by Murai
and implemented by Hayakawa,
are continuing unabated under the direct supervision of top university
scientists and Japan’s
military-industrial complex. (Watch for this breaking story in future
issues of Archipelago). When (not if) EM weapons are used, and if
the Final War turns out as Asahara predicted—a
victory for the Buddhist East—Murai, Hayakawa and
other Aum scientists will be hailed by all of
chanting humanity as the saints of electromagnetic warfare and plasma
weaponry.
Vancouver to Vladivostok: Another V2 Bomb?
“From space, one could control the Earth’s
weather, cause drought and floods, change the
tides and raise the levels of the sea, make temperature climates frigid.”
(Lyndon B. Johnson then a US.
Senator, 1957)
Was LBJ hallucinating? The hardheaded,
ultra-pragmatic Texas
politician was not known to be a daydreamer. Johnson, after all, didn’t use
much imagination to become Senate Majority Leader, Kennedy’s VP or founder
of the Great Society. He lacked the imaginative genius to either win or
stop the Vietnam War. So what is this sci-fi stuff he’s talking about—back
in the ‘50s?
Well, the following year in an experimental program called Project Argus,
the U.S. Navy exploded three atomic bombs in the newly discovered Van Allen
belts, about 2,000 miles above the Earth. The Soviets were doing the much
the same with bigger bombs. Sure enough, just like LBJ predicted, the weather
went crazy in the early ‘60s. So the answer is: Sen. Johnson was not clairvoyant or an
alien abductee, he was merely privy to highly
classified information from the Pentagon.
Since Project Argus, the United States
has made great strides in global climate engineering, and so has France,
Israel and South Africa.
But Soviets did even better at refining the core technology used to control
weather and to play mind games—electromagnetic energy, especially microwave
particle beams, and extra-long (ELF) and ultra-long frequency (ULF) waves.
When the Soviets exploded their early A-bombs at the Semipalatinsk
test site (in Kazakhstan),
they noticed that the blasts repeatedly set off earthquakes of
unpredictable magnitude, duration and distance from the site.
Over time, they realized the quakes weren’t cause
by triggering latent instability in the rock structure—quakes were being
induced by some mysterious cause. After subtracting blast energy
from the subsequent earth motion, the equation came up positive. The quakes
weren’t caused by the physical force of the nuclear blast, but by a
consequent resonance wave of unusual length. Nukes were merely acting like wave
generators, and inefficient ones at that.
Like using dynamite to make waves in a swimming pool. At the Kremlin’s
behest to develop new weapons to counter the U.S. edge in advanced weapons,
physicists like Andrei Sakharov
and N.A. Kozyrev
and Sergei Korolev,
the father of Sputnik, put their own energies into finding more subtle and
therefore more efficient generators. As they rebuilt the Soviet
Union’s scientific research establishment after World War II,
they had to rely on theory when the technology or finding was unavailable
and attempt conceptual leaps that the better-funded, but more conservative
Western researchers wouldn’t dare.
The obvious place to look for novel theories about
electromagnetism was in the papers of Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), the Serbo-Croatian inventor who
transformed Westinghouse from a maker of water pumps into the world’s
leading electronics manufacturer. Unfortunately for the Soviets, most of
his sensitive papers after his death were classified by the U.S.
military and put into cold storage and occasionally taken out for
back-burner research by the Pentagon. So the KGB went to work, finding
other scientists who were developing what has come to be known as
“scalar” energy based on Tesla’s theories of electromagnetism. Simply
put, Tesla devised a way to use a purer form of electromagnetic energy, by
separating electrical charge from mass.
Since the Earth is basically a huge electrical
generator (scientists recently discovered, thanks to the soundings from the
French nuclear tests at Mururoa, that the Earth’s
steel core is moving faster than the outer mantle, generating charge. It is
possible to manipulate this charge, greatly easing power demands and
reducing the factor of electrical resistance. With Tesla’s technologies, it
becomes possible to create standing waves in the atmosphere or through the
Earth itself and combine basic scalar waves into more conventional forms of
EM energy or into pulse weapons of devastating power.
Sergei Korolev, the founder of the early Soviet
space program who designed Sputnik and put Yuri Gagarin into orbit,
immediately thereafter launched nuclear reactors aboard orbiting
satellites, to fire electron pulses into the ionosphere, and bounced radio
waves off this EM mirror from powerful transmitters on the ground and
aboard ships. The Soviet Union’s winters
started to warm; though the distorted jet stream brought havoc to other
parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Korsakov died in 1966, but his research
didn’t.
“Man will move from the passive contemplation of
the climate to actively shaping it. We shall learn to modify the weather,
as we need. Our spacecraft will be able to induce rain in arid zones or to
dispel thunderclouds to prevent torrential rains and hailstorms,” Korolev said in 1963, using the future tense, even
though the weather experiments were well under way.
Besides ELF waves, great progress was made in
satellite communications with microwaves. The dangers of microwaves were
already apparent, as microwave-plasma incinerators (like the one Aum owned) show when they destroy all tissue, bacterial
material and viruses at biological weapons labs in a whirling ball of
ionized gas. But telecommunications companies learned the hard way,
whenever their satellite relays happened to miss a ground
antenna (which are usually sited in isolated locations, far from
nearby buildings).
Massive streams of microwaves can penetrate
non-metallic or non-shielded structures and vaporize anyone inside. This,
of course, is the scientifically plausible explanation for “spontaneous
human combustion.” If any reader of this page knows of such cases, please
inform the surviving family to look for the nearest relay station and sue
the Telecom Company.
By the 1970s, the Soviets were so far ahead in the game of electronic
warfare – with over-the-horizon radar, ULF submarine communications,
weather control, anti-radar systems and the like—that the American military
had to play catch-up, under the cover of anti-ballistic missile defense research, which Ronald Reagan called SDI
program and became widely known as “Star Wars.”
The one event that stands out since LBJ’s day is the end of the Cold War
per se. Old rivalries don’t die, they just fade away. In October 1996, an
ex-KGB spymaster Vladimir Galkin was arrested at
JFK airport and arraigned the next month on espionage charges. Galkin was allegedly trying to obtain documents from a
symposium on sensors in Orlando
in March, from the Electrical Energy Gun Conference at the Naval
postgraduate school in Monterey, and from a
lecture at Peterson Air Base, Colorado,
on “electronic warfare challenges for space systems.”
One of Galkin’s sources
for Star Wars secrets was an India-born engineer with Digital
Electronic Corp. (DEC). Galkin was soon released
after the Kremlin threw a fit, since Moscow
has been selling the U.S.
government technologies of much higher value, for example, the Procyon pulse explosive-generator (which generates
voltage equaling the entire Earth’s output for a
fraction of a second).
Now, it’s been 40 years since LBJ’s prophecy of global climate control.
Forty years is an eon when it comes to the mind-boggling pace of R&D.
So let’s jump ahead through hyperspace into 1996-97, without forgetting
that in the interval Aum Shinrikyo
scientists had been recently fishing for electromagnetic, laser and plasma
weapons in Russia,
as other articles in this sprawling series have discussed in fine detail.
Shield of the North
On Oct. 1, 1996, a high-level Russian official,
like a luscious, wiggling Salami, dropped the last
veil—while Guru Shoko Asahara, imitating John the Baptist, had
his neck on the chopping block. The Herods of
Tokyo were obviously delighted by what they saw.
On a visit to Tokyo, the Russian official
(Deputy Foreign Minister Gregory Karasin happened
to be visiting at the time.) announced that Russia
would cooperate with Japan
to create a joint anti-ballistic missile system to balance Chinese power in
the region. This ABM system would eventually be linked to a similar U.S. anti-missile system, which is known as
the HAARP program, run by the U.S. Navy in Alaska. HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is based on the ELF
transmission system devised by Bernard
Eastlund, former chief of the Atomic
Energy Commission and consultant to Arco oil. (The prototype is registered
with the U.S. Patent Office, #4686605.)
The next month, his chief, Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov
(our old friend who met with former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone back
in 1989, right before Aum Shinrikyo was ordered to develop an interest in Russia) arrived in Japan for three days of
under-reported and unreported meetings. The one tidbit
that was released to the public was that Japan
would give Moscow $500 million for the first
installment of joint economic development of the
four disputed Kurile Islands.
Meanwhile, the Russian Navy and Japanese military were exchanging visits
and weapons systems. (On his visit to Moscow
last April, Defense Agency chief Hideo Usui held up a Russian sniper rifle, beaming the same
crazed smile as Kiyohide Hayakawa, when the sect
arms trader brandished an AK-74 in Moscow
in 1992. What is it about Russian guns?) In November, Adm. Vladimir Kuroedov,
a Russian Pacific Fleet commander, attends the Western Pacific symposium in
Japan.
Back in Moscow,
in July, a new Japanese ambassador arrives. Takehiro
Togo, of course, is
another one of our acquaintance from the good old days—being, in 1990, the
Foreign Ministry’s Russian specialist who organized the Shintaro
Abe mission to Moscow.
Among the visitors was Toshio
Yamaguchi, the godfather of Aum Shinrikyo’s Russian-Japan
College, the
sect’s main recruiting ground for Russian nuclear physicists and
biochemists.
Yamaguchi, of course, was recently released from
jail on $1 million bond, in January. All is forgiven, forget what happened
on the subways, just get back to work, boys!
(Indicted for fraud and embezzlement of now-bankrupt businesses, where did
former Cabinet member Yamaguchi get the $1 million to post bail?)
Rather than begrudge these fine patriots, perhaps we are entitled to
ask: What the hell is going on between Moscow
and Tokyo?
The problem, you see, the reason why the good patriots with Aum went to the trouble of penetrating the Russian defense and scientific establishment—well, to put it
simply: It’s all the fault of Gorbachev and Yeltsin. In 1990, Mikhail
Gorbachev flung open the doors of the Soviet military establishment to Shintaro Abe and Toshio Yamaguchi, and their gofers in Aum.
But Boris Yeltsin, the chief of the Russian
republic, was taking an anti-Japanese tone, in his bid to topple Gorbachev,
which he succeeded in doing. So by spring 1992, Guru Shoko Asahara, Kiyohide Hayakawa
and some 200 other Aum members arrived in Moscow to fish for
potential allies, Yeltsin’s security adviser Oleg Lobov.
At his April 1993 summit with President Bill Clinton, the pro-Western but nationalist (meaning
anti-Japanese) Yeltsin proposed a joint anti-missile defense
system under his “Vancouver to Vladivostok”
(V2) initiative, also called simply “Trust.” From Vancouver,
the grand shield would stretch across Canada,
the Atlantic, Northern Europe and Russia
all the way to Vladivostok.
What’s left out of this incomplete circle, of course, was Japan. The Japanese Foreign
Ministry, the old sidekicks of Uncle Sam, were left out in the cold and
decided to free lance in their bid for Russian technology.
The problem, you see, the reason why the good patriots with Aum went to the trouble of penetrating the Russian
defence and scientific establishment—well, to put it simply: It’s all
Gorbachev’s fault. In June 1990, Mikhail Gorbachev on his return from the U.S. made a speech in Kamchatka, in which he
proposed a “Vancouver to Vladivostok” missile defence system. The
V-V defence was to cover Russia,
North Europe, the North Atlantic and North America.
(Now, is it clear why the Gorbachev Foundation is based at the Presidio, former headquarters of the Western Defence
Command?)
Now that the Tokyo subway-gassing furor has died down, Russia
is selling Japan
the most powerful weapons ever devised by humankind. Why is Washington looking
on with approval? There are many reasons.
Targets for EM Weaponry
China
Containment: Since the halcyon days of the Cold War twilight when Armand Hammer
and the Commerce Department were covertly supplying computers designed in
the U.S. and made in Japan to Moscow for Russian nuclear-missile
submarines (High treason? This happened with Ronald Reagan’s nodding
approval, and for good reason, to prevent a Red October scenario), the KGB
and CIA have been married. But then a real problem flared. Wifey No.1, (remember the world’s most important
relationship?) Japan, became embittered and tried to convince Russia to split with the U.S.
This led to the Aum
affair. After the subway gassing, the principals decided on a threesome, a mènage à trois. This
tripartite relationship was aimed at fencing in the rising power on the
block, China, and little
brother North Korea.
(Meanwhile, Aum survived the police raids and
made its comeback, since its original purpose in life was to infiltrate and
subvert China,
anyhow.) Japan
was alarmed about North Korean missile development.
It bought Patriot missile batteries, but these are
useless. So it’s desperate for Theatre Missile Defence (TMD) and any
technology that can kill a missile above the launch pad. Russia offers its EM technology, and Japan
is hooked. But in a real sneak attack, if one ever happens, North Korea could nuke Japan by simply sinking an oil tanker in Fukui Bay,
which would clog the intake pipes of nuclear-power plants on the Japan Sea and cause multiple nuclear
meltdowns, the fallout from which would kill or maim at least half the
Japanese population. Pyongyang
could even collect shipping insurance for the lost oil. Or a
remote-controlled toy plane armed with a pocket nuke could also trigger a
meltdown. In short, there is a thick air of unreality surrounding ABM
technology, but it is a good way to sell a multipurpose technology to the
Pentagon and to Tokyo.
The reason is the blinding speed of incoming ballistic missiles, the use of
multiple warheads and the fact that warheads can be fitted with EM shields
to deflect pulse weapons and standing waves. What EM pulse weapons are very
efficient at doing is downing civilian passenger jets, like the
rocket-crippled KAL 007 and, possibly, TWA 800.
While we respect Pierre Salinger and the French intelligence agency, it is
really strange how nobody ever mentioned the fact that TWA 800 was flying
close to Montauk Point the SA-Air
Force electronic eavesdropping, over-the-horizon radar and air-defense base, which does not appear on standard road
maps. A flash of light was seen approaching the jetliner. If the
investigators are not lying through their teeth, the black boxes were
instantaneously short-circuited and the fuel tank was ignited and blew
outward—sure signs of an EM pulse.
Climate Control
Pilots repeatedly report UFOs over Hong Kong in 1994. A series of Chinese
satellite-carrying rockets go haywire right after takeoff over the past two
years. Floods of unusual ferocity sweep China
and North Korea.
Strange things are happening in the skies over Asia.
These incidents could be classified as hostile, war-like acts, if they were
done deliberately. But such actions are forbidden under a U.N. convention
called ENMOD.
In the 1 970s, the Americans became so frightened
by the weather effects caused by the Korolev-founded
program, the Pentagon founded its own Project Nile Blue, later
renamed Climate Dynamics. But hopelessly behind without the Tesla
mechanism known as the scalar potential interferometer, the U.S. Senate,
under Sen. Claiborne Pell’s
initiative, pushed for a ban on hostile uses of weather Control technology
at the Committee on Disarmament in August 1975. The U.N. ban, passed in
1977, is called “The Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any
Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques,” or ENMOD.
For a while, Leonid Brezhnev and Jimmy Carter succeeded in restraining
climate engineers. ENMOD, however, did not ban the “peaceful” applications
of such technologies. The climate engineers made their comeback at the Rio
Earth Summit in 1991. They argued that global warming and the shrinking of
the ozone layer could be retarded by conservation and decreased pollution,
but they could not be reversed—unless powerful EM technologies are used to
engineer the upper atmosphere. (Never mind that EM pulses rapidly destroy
the atmosphere—the politicians and industrialists were easily swayed by Big
Science, however misbegotten.)
The problem was, EM technologies could not patch the ozone hole or lower temperatures. So the climate engineers,
especially the ones with MITI, devised an alternative approach—carbon
dioxide sequestering through forestation. The idea is to bombard the
deserts of Western Australia, the Western
U.S. and the Sahel with EM waves to cause
low pressure and precipitation. Vast forests would grow and convert CO2
and other gases into wood and generate oxygen. The major center for this continuing research program happens to
be in the environs of Banjawarn, West Australia, where Aum owned a sheep station.
Asteroids
OK, Moscow
had an incredibly cold winter, as was usual before the 1970s. So the
Russians are promising not to wreak havoc to wipe out the Midwest’s
soybean crop, but they still want to... Save Humanity from the Impending
Horror of Extinction. The most likely Cause is the avenging angels from
heaven, better known as rogue asteroids.
When a pair of researchers in the Yucatan
claimed that the dinosaurs were wiped out by a big, skidding meteorite,
mainstream scientists howled with laughter. Then, they watched in total awe
as Levy-Shoemaker bowled into Jupiter like a runaway train hitting a dump
truck. A similar hit on Earth would not just wipe out human civilization;
it would mean the end of life.
The Apocalypse suddenly found thousands of true
believers in white lab coats. Hubble showed us a whole lot more are one their way toward Earth. A 3-kni-long carrot-shaped
thing passes outside the moon, and will return much closer next time.
Astronomers calculate quickly, and realize that meteor impacts come in
cyclical waves and that Saturn’s gravitational tug has been shaking loose
asteroids from one of the “Trojan swarms” circling the sun in the same
orbit as Jupiter. These rogues then fall toward the Sun.
The dire predictions caught the attention of the U.S. Air Force,
specifically the Ballistic Missile Defense
Organization, or BMDO.
In 1994, BMDO attached two warhead-fitted rockets onto a space probe called
Clementine I, which passed the moon and then were supposed to fire the
rockets at an asteroid, to blow off fragments. The BMDO claimed the
experiment failed.
More than year later, a strange “alien ship”
appears to approach and follow the Hale-Bopp asteroid, which suddenly gives
off a huge cloud of dust and changes course erratically. Did our darling
Clementine happen to hit the wrong asteroid? Clementine II, fitted with
rocket-launched research probes, is scheduled for launch in early 1998.
Curiously, physicists learned that asteroids have extremely strong magnetic
fields. When approaching Earth, their trajectory tends to be deflected by
the planet’s own EM field. In other words, an artificial EM field could
possibly deflect an incoming asteroid by a few degrees—not enough to force
it away from entry but sufficiently to save, let’s say Tokyo
or New York City.
Can such a large, strong EM field be created artificially?
The West Australians who witnessed the creation of
a “Tesla shield” in isolated Banjawarn (while Kiyohide Hayakawa was in the vicinity on May 28, 1993)
attest to the fact that the bubble of pink light held for about 2 hours
before it suddenly shut down.
Solar Plasma
Another space invader, besides the ones in Hollywood movies and Sega game machines, is called
the Solar Blob. Every 11 years or so, the Sun releases a huge ball
of energy, a blob of magnetized plasma that weighs several billion tons and
moves at 620 miles per second. If one locks onto and merges into the weak
side of the Earth’s magnetosphere (like a male plug into a socket), it
creates a vast geomagnetic storm that disables any electronic in the skies
and on the ground. The last big one hit, luckily at 2 AM, March 13, 1983,
in the vicinity of Quebec.
It crashed the Eastern Canadian power grid for 9
hours. The next big corona mass ejection is due this year sometime. If it
hits in the daytime in summer, when power usage is maximized, in the
vicinity of a nuclear power plant, the results could be spectacular. The
total blackout would also knock out backup power systems and make all the
electronic controls spin around like tops. In other words, nothing could
prevent a nuclear meltdown. Is it any wonder that Japanese scientists are
eager for the Russians to build a Tesla shield generator on one of the four
disputed Kurile Islands, under the new
cooperation pact?
An EM shield could theoretically repel or divert a
geomagnetic storm, at least away from something like a nuclear power
station. Nobody knows what causes the solar blowout. No one really knows
what happens when a very large asteroid slams into the fusion reactor known
as the Sun. This year, NASA
is sending two spacecraft toward the Sun to monitor the next solar
outburst.
Polar Shift
The magnetic poles of the Earth periodically
reverse themselves. How the north pole become magnetic south, and vice
versa, occurs is not understood, but it has happened many times in the
geological past. The vast flux of magnetic energy is bound to create
electromagnetic havoc—blackouts, nuclear meltdowns and the like. By
encasing strategic command-and-control centers,
ballistic missile silos, nuclear subs and nuclear power stations under
Tesla shields, it may be possible to prevent a nuclear holocaust.
As the polar reversal could shut down the Earth’s
own energy field for a long time (it could be one of those days mentioned
by the ancients when the sun stood still) or it could be as short as a
billionth of a second, space planners would rely on plasma-generated laser
and microwave energy beaming down to ground reception stations to power the
Tesla shields. This is truly sci-fi terrain we’ve entered. Even with the
most advanced technology, something is likely to go wrong.
Power Generation
Asteroids, solar plasma and the increasing use of
artificial EM highlight the problems of nuclear power. If these terrors
don’t destroy humanity, a series of meltdowns is guaranteed to finish off
our species. Therefore, industrial societies will have to face the
prospects of shutting down nuclear plants and find alternative sources of
energy.
EM technology can provide new energy in abundance,
though the money-grubbing industrial leadership will not willingly to tap
into the cheapest energy source – the Earth’s own electromagnetism.
Instead, they will pursue crazy schemes, such as using satellites to
capture solar energy and beaming it down to Earth stations as ELF energy or
sending ELF waves from ground stations near major gas fields in places like
Arabia, Indonesia
and Alaska
to consuming countries.
These strategies are sure to cause further
environmental havoc—and widen the ozone holes over our heads. Sheer blind
luck has enabled the human race to survive so far. Ignorance was bliss;
will our new knowledge prove to be a curse? Nikola Tesla dreamed of a world of unlimited free energy for
peaceful ends; what his technology is spawning is a world of limitless
terror.
(Authors note: The long, intricate history of EM technology and
theory could not be covered except as a caricature in this already
sprawling article. The affects of EM waves on human brain activity by
Soviet and U.S psychiatrists also had to be neglected as tangential to this
story. Archipelago puts this material on-line only because it falls
within the parameters of the Aum affair; the
problem of human extinction is really beyond the scope of this on-line
project, at least for now. Since the many implications of this esoteric
technology are disturbing and provocative to say the least, we are happy to
answer questions to Archipelago, and can provide research sources on
specific issues, as they are too extensive and fragmented to be listed here,
without footnoting every sentence.)
