Oh Republic of China, how we adore your evil empire ways. 

I definitely want to continue on with the first portion of this topic by giving you some more information about HAARP, but first, there’s some great breaking news on the forefront of Bond-villain-esque news, and that is GhostNET.  I would recommend you do some research on this on your own, as this is still somewhat of a breaking story, and I don’t believe that I can do this story a complete amount of justice here, however, just know that although the Chinese government has not been officially linked to this new-found hacker network, that self-same government has been acting on intel that was uncovered by the GhostNET hackers during their foray into almost 1300 different government/embassy computers worldwide.  So far there doesn’t seem to be too much of a leak into the computers of the West, but GhostNET seems to be large and in charge.  So much so that they are actually using this network to be able to turn on the webcams and microphones of embassy officials to involve themselves in some super secret spying, the old-school hacker way.  I’m sure I’ll have more on this as the news develops a bit further.

So, on that note, we should move onto the most Bond-villain-esque of all evil empire moves, and that is HAARP.  Unfortunately not quite as cool looking as, say, OddJob, but still an awesome piece of machinery. H.A.A.R.P stands for High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. The official reason for these stations (yes, plural) to exist is to “a research facility to conduct pioneering experiments in ionospheric phenomena… used to analyze basic ionospheric properties and to assess the potential for developing ionospheric enhancement technology for communications and surveillance purposes.” What this means to you and me is that this crazy bunch of stations, positioned very strategically around the globe, are shooting signals into the ionosphere in order to determine the effects. Or, even more simply put, they’re shooting tons of eletricity into ionized air to see what it’ll do.

Or, they’re learning how to control the weather.

Of course, there’s many many many more uses available for such a system, such as destroying enemy spacecraft, or even, disrupting the entire globe’s communications. But that’s not even the scary part. There are 13 similiar facilities across the globe. Only one of these is controlled by the Chinese government. Three of these facilities are controlled, principly, by the US government. In fact, the HAARP program name that I keep mentioning is the US governments code-name for this project.

So, if you thought it was frightening that the burgeoning Republic of China has these abilities, you should be even more worried that a country with a massive economic crisis has the ability to hold the world at a ransom of One Bill-eon Dollars

So, I’ve been realizing lately that I really dislike my job.  It’s really

dumb that I do, because it’s a pretty

simple life, I get paid alright, and, well, people somewhat respect my intellegence.  Yet, as I sit at my desk on a day to day basis, attempting to make things better for the world of Medicare, I can’t help but wonder why the heck I’m doing this.  I mean, I can easily answer why, it’s all about the benjamins.  But it just gets so boring sitting in my cubicle, staring at the screen, looking for more work to do because they really don’t know how to utilize me anymore.

So, yeah, bored, and my thumbs are tired of twiddling.  The economy really needs to start getting better so that there’s actually some worthwhile jobs out there once again.

So, there’s your task for the day, internets.  FIX AMERICA’S ECONOMY.

Thank you.
