ANGELS DON‘T PLAY THIS HAARP Advances in Tesla Technology

More horrifying, she remembered what a brilliant physicist by the name of Walter
Richmond had written about a possible technology which sounded very much like Eastlund‘s
concept. The late Walter Richmond and anthropologist Leigh Richmond wrote a book titled
The Lost Millennium, using the novel format to get their ideas out to the world. A disastrous
technology described as a "solar tap" in the book was startlingly similar to aspects of
Eastlund‘s patent.
Although ionospheric heaters beam power from antennae on the ground up to the
ionosphere, and the Richmonds‘ ―solar tap‖ concept goes the other direction, both involve
connecting the earth with the ionosphere. The novel described a solar tap that just wouldn't
quit. It began from a technology that started on the ground, from which engineers beamed
up a pathway for some of the ionospheric electricity to ride back down on.
This planetary short-circuit usually blew out in a fraction of a second, but one day the
fictional engineers made a fatal mistake. They kept a solar tap going while a solar flare
surged into the ionosphere and then to the ground via the ionized pathway of the tap beam.
―And the surge of power from the tap became an avalanche. An avalanche at the pole in
the vertical plane of the planet's magnetic field where the winds of magnetism would not rise
to blow it out. One trillion watt-seconds of energy unleashed their fury on the polar cap in the
first flash... Even as it discharged, the ionosphere was recharged from the solar furnace.
The first flash became a mighty roar that poured an increased and now steady stream... of
energy through the now-stabilized short circuit. Kilocubit after square kilocubit of frozen
wasteland boiled. Watt after watt of ever-increasing avalanche energy lit the polar cap with a
glare that had never before been seen...‖
Could such a disaster happen in real life?
Manning reread the introduction to The Lost Millennium. It said that in 1962 Walter
Richmond was researching atmospheric electricity and developed the theory of what the
couple called the solar tap - a source of abundant power from the electrical current that exists
as a potential between the ground and the ionosphere.
―The physics is exact. The power is there for the tapping‖.
Such massive amounts of power would be distributed by broadcasting it, ―which Nikola
Tesla had proven could be done, before 1911‖.
The two scientists believed that automobiles, industries and homes could be tuned into
broadcast power, just as radios are tuned to certain frequencies. The bad news was that
unless carefully handled, broadcast power would resonate with the structural steel of
buildings in a destructive way, Richmond said.
Manning‘s attention was caught by the scientists‘ own life story. In 1963 the Richmonds‘
took their research papers on the solar tap to then-President John F. Kennedy‘s science
advisor. They planned to also take them to the United Nations Science Advisory Committee.
Instead they received a shock from their government.
―Our papers were placed under the Secrecy label (Secrecy Act legislation) and we were
offered a government contract for research, which we refused. It would have placed us under
the Secrecy Syndrome, in which we had refused for some years to take part, Leigh wrote. We
were told to sit down and shut up, in no uncertain terms‖.
The vision of the fictional solar tap lingered in Manning‘s mind. The book described an
experiment-gone-wrong that started an unquenchable avalanche of electrons. A character in
the book said ―the power's there. Enough to blow up the Earth if it's misused‖.
Is this what the late Walter Richmond knew, that had to be placed under the Secrecy Act?
If the electrical power of the ionosphere avalanched onto Earth in a continuous flow, his
book's character said, it would, ―burn hell out of the spot where it touched Earth Empty the
capacitor that‘s the ionosphere, and feed directly from the solar wind. Earth‘s an electrical
