ANGELS DON‘T PLAY THIS HAARP Advances in Tesla Technology

the bid rating process with the military the only thing that APTI had going for it was a set of
twelve compelling patents.
APTI‘s twelve patents are discussed in another chapter. These patents were used in the
HAARP project and some of their inventors were listed as ―key personnel‖ in the HAARP
contract with APTI. Also, according to the contract if APTI switched any of the key personnel
they could lose the entire project.
After the contract was awarded, APTI was sold to E-Systems of Dallas, Texas. The June
10, 1994 sale was transacted under undisclosed terms, APTI had shown no net income since
it opened in the late 1980‘s, which made the sale particularly interesting. It was reported that
APTI was involved in research financed by government grants. E-Systems changed the name
of the company to Advanced Power Technologies Incorporated, and assumed control of the
patents and the HAARP project.
E-Systems reported annual sales of $1,9 billion a year, had 18,662 employees 139 (1992)
and is one of the largest intelligence contractors in the United States. So why would E-
Systems buy a company with no net income and no major assets except for the twelve patents
and an unfunded second phase of a construction contract? The only real value was the
contract, and the technology in the package of patents.
E-Systems was the subject of a lengthy article in the Washington Post by staff writer
John Mintz. He disclosed that E-Systems‘ technologies were ―part of the central nervous
system for the nation's intelligence community‖. $1.8 billion of their $2.1 billion in sales was
for classified projects. A large part of the projects came from the National Security Agency
(NSA) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and other intelligence organizations.
Many of the company employees are former personnel from the NSA, CIA and military
retirees. People with highly technical backgrounds and a history of working in government
intelligence circles are hired by the company almost automatically, according to the
Washington Post article. Retired Navy Admiral William Raborn, CIA director under Lyndon
B. Johnson, for years served on the board of directors.
E-Systems was one of the featured stories in a CBS, 60 Minutes segment was aired
February 26, 1995, The report echoed the assertions which were made in the Washington
Post article.
The company was described as an organization operating in the ―black world‖ - an area so
secret that employees are not permitted by law to discuss anything about their work except
with those individuals who have an official ―need to know‖ classification. Of the company‘s
annual sales, 85 percent was for classified work, with an estimated $800 million involved in
projects so sensitive that the government denies that the projects even exist. The story went
on to paint a picture of an organization which thrives on contracts issued by the CIA, NSA
and military intelligence organizations.
In the CBS, 60 Minutes segment, the secret relationship with the United States
government was illustrated by describing one of E-Systems more public law suits. In the
course of the law suit, a court order was issued which forbad the disclosure of E-Systems‘
classified relationship to the United States government.
The most unusual part of the order was that none of the parties to the suit could even
disclose that the order existed or that the government had even sought such an order. Even
more revealing about this shadowy organization was that no one was allowed to have a copy
of the document. They could only view it for a few moments in the United States Attorney‘s
office. They were not allowed to take notes or in any way record their comments about the
order, and they were forbidden from even talking about the existence of the document, under
threat of incarceration.
The order was so secret that even the judge could not have a copy of it, and could only
view it upon special request. The secrecy of the document was appealed all the way to the
United States Supreme Court where a ruling was issued which allowed the parties to talk
about the order.
