We know what it is and is not capable of, if you think you know what else it's capable of than state what it is, how it works this way and your evidence for this.

Well? What are you waiting for? Get to it! Now!

Using logic and reasoning vs. a CT'er is like using regular bullets against a werewolf. While they are effective against normal people. ...They just pass right through and are completely unnoticed with a CT'er.

I don't know, they can't seem to see themselves in a mirror either, that's a vampire characteristic.

What, in your own words, gives you the right to claim that well educated individuals, (some of which are experts in their field of work) have offered no evidence? What is your level of education? What, outside of hand waving are you an expert at?

Before you go about telling everyone how wrong they are, tell us what leads you to this conclusion. You cannot do this because you don’t have the education to do so. How do I know this? I, along with other posters have read your outlandish, absurd, meaningless replies to those who are educated in relative fields being discussed. Not to mention your childish name calling tactics.

Here is a problem SHC you've been given the floor to make your case viable, since you've been saying well
your talk point Some people have already achknowledge that it could be a possbility if your willing to provide this detail mechanism, mathematics, and your reason for us to address this point. What you've done is speculation and it not as much accurate as my saying your an oro operative. Even in debate stance your own thing is conjecture without provenance. Why should we provide evidence when the evidence of providing will be subjected to handwaving and ridicule as you always do?

We have photos of HAARP; they show antennas, and we know what antennas can and cannot do.

Is there any reason to believe the photos are fake? If not, then I don't see what the point of protracting this argument is. Photographs showing antennas is more evidence for the "government claim" being true than exists suggesting it's a lie.

Not necessarily, as the antennas could be serving as a decoy to hide something else.

You don't know, you only think you do.

Do you have any evidence for these claims? Any Tom, Dick, and Harry can claim they are an expert.

Irrelevant logical fallacy. My level of education has no bearing on whether or not HAARP could be something other than what it is portrayed to be.

Quote:

Easy, because none of you have provided any credible evidence for your claims. You simply say, "HAARP isn't and can't be a weapon of any type. Why? Because I say so! I'm an expert!".

That B.S. isn't going to work here.

You cannot do this because you don’t have the education to do so.
Well, I just did it and I am going to keep doing it. Your arguments are without merit.

Anybody can literally walk up to HAARP and see there's nothing there that isn't in the photos. They can even take their own photos if they desire. Do you understand that there's nothing at HAARP but a field of antennas and a single three-room building? It's not like we're talking about a complex or base of some kind here that would be capable of hiding something large; and there's still the matter of no security personnel, armed or otherwise, at the facility.

Well if they're not really antennas then they can't emit diabolical radio signals anyway; so it seems you have even less to worry about, don't you?

The antennas are pretty skinny. Unless you're proposing that Bugs Bunny is hiding behind one of them, I'm not sure how you imagine anything is "hiding" in there.

Again, there's photographic evidence that it's nothing but antennas. Any evidence it's something more?

You don't know that. You might not be privy to certain, unknown technological advances. You're just speculating based on limited information.

That's what we are told anyway.

Nothing openly visible anyway.

Not necessarily, as HAARP may have as-of-yet unannounced capabilities.

Photographs can be deceiving. They won't reveal hidden details or underground facilities.

Face it, you're still just speculating, as I am.

Because he claimed he designed a phased array, a claim which anyone who can construct a sentence can make. I want to see pictures of his specific design. It won't prove he actually designed it, but it's better than just empty words.

Why are you so afraid of this question shc?

You claim that no one has shown credible evidence but you can't even say what credible evidence is! LOL!

How? All we need is a basic understanding of physics to understand just why the claims of "HAARP being more sinister than we've been lead to believe" are all bogus.

We've told you just some of the known laws of physics which dispute it, and still you want to keep making the same tired appeal to magic? Why, exactly?

So you want him to provide pics as proof, but even if he does it isn't proof...

No wonder you're afraid to state what credible evidence is.

Do you even have a general definition of credible evidence?

Or are you afraid to answer that question too?

Thanks, and come again.
I don't really know what jelly donuts are capable of. They could be spying on me right now, planning on flying in through my mouth and stealing my waistline while I sleep.

To invert Sherlock Holmes, when nothing is improbable, everything is possible.

Pictures can be faked.

Please demonstrate that there is any reasonable limit beyond which your conspiracy is unable to go.

HAARP under construction, from the University of Alaska's website:




Aerial view of HAARP from a conspiracy theorist website:



Another image by a private source:



All these images from different sources all manage to show the same thing - an array of antennas. No "secret beam weapons" hid anywhere in there amongst the masts. No reason to believe any of these photos was doctored to hide weapons or other devices. Anybody can take their own photos and verify the presence and composition of the array themselves.

I know a little about radio (its part of my job). Nothing he has said so far has allowed me to catch him out as a faker. He is using the terminology correctly, shows comfort with the material.

This means zilch-all to you, of course, since you don't know me either. But I offer it as why I think he is speaking sense and you are micturating up a twisted strand of fibrous material.

Which is to say (since you keep coming back to some variant of this) I don't "believe in the official story" about HAARP because I was watching ABC last night (don't own a television anyhow). I am at least partly convinced by the analysis of someone who shares vocational skills with me and whose work therefor I have reason to trust.
