You be the final judge of whether or not the question of an intentional act such as a tsunami could occur. Here’s the cover of a book I read last year that brought this subject to mind: Seismic Weaponry Reference from GRU Defecting General.

Here’s a factoid from 1997. I had been out of the Navy for two years and remember hearing what I discarded as rumors of Soviet research into seismic weaponry. SecDef Cohen addresses it in a Q&A session in this DefenseLINK News: Secretary Cohen With Senators Nunn and Lugar - April 28, 1997:

“Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations. It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our efforts, and that’s why this is so important. “

More about Russian Research Into Seismic Warfare:

“DISTURBING evidence has come to light that the Russian military is continuing Soviet-era tests in ’seismic warfare’, the bizarre theory that underground nuclear explosions can be directed to unleash earthquakes and tidal waves against enemies.”

More research into seismic weapons came from The Tom Bearden Website. This guy states:

“…So far as I’m aware, the news media did not even report this first-ever public confirmation by a high U.S. official of the old scalar interferometer weapons which have been around and in extensive use since April 1963. Today, e.g., some 10 nations have such weapons or versions of them, and even the Japanese Yakuza has acquired them (in latter 1989).”

Now, I haven’t been able to confirm any of the last bit about the ‘ten nations’ having these weapons. If they did, then this recent tsunami would really set the pace and provide ammunition for a bunch of paranioa about seismic weapons. I have been able to locate a (*.doc) study that Bearden has done. It uses a lot of the same sources as my own independant research, with a lot more doom and gloom outlook. I can’t authenticate any of this guy’s statements so this is only from a single source.

A Journal of Alternative News:

“In a book entitled Tesla - The Lost Inventions, a section is titled ‘Man-Made Earthquake’. It discloses Teslas fascination with the power of resonance and he experimented with it not only electrically but on the mechanical plane as well. In his Manhattan, USA lab, Tesla built mechanical vibrators and tested their powers. One experiment got out of hand. Tesla attached a powerful little vibrator driven by compressed air to a steel pillar. Leaving it there, he went about his business. Meanwhile, down the street, a violent quaking built up, shaking down plaster, bursting plumbing, cracking windows, and breaking heavy machinery off its anchorages.

Tesla’s vibrator had found the resonant frequency of a deep sandy layer of subsoil beneath his building, setting off a small earthquake. Soon Tesla’s own building began to quake. It is reported that just as the police broke into his lab, Tesla was seen smashing the device with a sledge hammer, the only way he could promptly stop it.

In a similar experiment, on an evening walk through the city, Tesla attached a battery powered vibrator, described as being the size of an alarm clock, to the steel framework of a building under construction. He adjusted it to a suitable frequency and set the structure into resonant vibration. The structure shook, and so did the earth under his feet.

Tesla later boasted he could shake down the Empire State Building with such a device. If this claim was not extravagant enough, he went on to say a large-scale resonant vibration was capable of splitting the earth in half.

An article from the 11 July, 1935 issue of the New York American entitled ‘Tesla’s Controlled Earthquakes’, stated Tesla’s - experiments in transmitting mechanical vibrations through the earth - called by him ‘the art of telegeodynamics – were roughly described by the scientists as a sort of controlled earthquake.

Key searches to get the information I’ve found in Google: ‘Scalar Interferometer seismic’, ’seismic weaponry’, ‘tesla earthquake’, ‘William Cohen University of Georgia’, and ‘Hideo Murai Aum Shinrikyo’.

Bottom line at the very least is that there is significant research into seismic weaponry, and worst-case scenario would be that it exists right now.

Russian Seismic Warfare:

“DISTURBING evidence has come to light that the Russian military is continuing Soviet-era tests in ’seismic warfare’, the bizarre theory that underground nuclear explosions can be directed to unleash earthquakes and tidal waves against enemies.”

Here’s the cover of the book I initially read last year that brought this subject to mind:

Seismic Weaponry Reference from GRU Defecting General

Plausible Futures Newsletter:

…of particular importance is basic reseach aimed at discovering still unknown attributes of matter, phenomena and the laws of nature, and developing new methods for their study and use
to reinforce the state’s defense capability.’

- Proportion of a book by Marshall Grechko”

Environmental Modification (ENMOD) is a category of weaponry real enough to be banned by the United Nations. ENMOD specifically includes earthquakes and tsunamis. Here is a source where it is addressed and condemned by the United Nations as listed in the appendix of this paper.

Edmonds Institute Occasional Paper: “Addressing Environmental Modification in Post-Cold War Conflict The Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD) and Related Agreements “

Not wanting to take any word from sites I’m not able to verify content for, I decided to research and establish the potential link between Soviet seismic weaponry and the supercult Aum Shinrikyo. Here’s the link.

Aum Shinrikyo: Once and Future Threat?:

“Millennial visions and apocalyptic scenarios dominate the group’s doctrine, evidenced by the prominent role of Nostradamus as a prophet in Aum Shinrikyo teaching. Ashahara has, on many occasions, claimed to be the reincarnated Jesus Christ, as well as the first “enlightened one” since the Buddha. He has frequently preached about a coming Armageddon, which he describes as a global conflict that would, among other things, destroy Japan with nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. According to Ashahara, only the followers of Aum Shinrikyo will survive this conflagration…

…At the time of the Tokyo subway attack, the cult’s principle venture in Russia was the Moscow-Japan University, with headquarters in offices across the street from the Bolshoi Ballet. Their senior Russian partner in the university was a man by the name of Oleg Lobov, at that time also chairman of Russia’s National Security Council and a close confidant of Boris Yeltsin.“

The link would then be Oleg Lobov. Whether or not the Soviet/Russian scientists had perfected an earthquake or seismic weapon is still undetermined except for a single source.

Here’s a little more information about Global Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction: A Case Study on the Aum Shinrikyo Senate Government Affairs Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations October 31, 1995 Staff Statement

Edmonds Institute Occasional Paper:

“To violate ENMOD, an attempt to manipulate natural processes is required. The treaty does not protect states against environmental damages resulting from hostile actions. In other words, collateral damage incidental to warfare is not prohibited.

Article II lists examples of environmental modification techniques and includes among them provocation of earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes (typhoons), disruption of ecological balance in climatic elements, change in ocean currents, and changes in the state of the ozone layer. “

Here’s a factoid from 1997. I had been out of the Navy for two years and remember hearing what I discarded as rumors of Soviet research into seismic weaponry. SecDef Cohen addresses it in a Q&A session

DefenseLINK News: Secretary Cohen With Senators Nunn and Lugar - April 28, 1997:

“Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon  other nations. It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our efforts, and that’s why this is so important. “

 This is pretty chilling information from a SecDef. I remember seeing him in 1995 aboard the USS Constellation when he came through on a MidEast tour.

I’m not even going into details about the ‘Ring of Fire’ zone around the Pacific just yet. Let’s look at the Atlantic. From early 2004 New York Daily News:

• Killer wave lying in wait:

“A tsunami triggered by a volcanic eruption on an island off the coast of Africa could result in mountainous waves up to 75 feet high crashing into New York and other East Coast cities, scientists are warning.”

This is referring to the Cumbre Vieja Volcano — Potential collapse and tsunami at La Palma, Canary Islands due to a volcanic eruption and lavaslide into the ocean.

• Freak waves, rogue waves, extreme waves and ocean wave climate explains some of the dynamics of the waves.
• Dangerous Phenomena - a maritime site with nice maps and diagrams:

“An ocean-going vessel almost never notices a tsunami, since its amplitude in the deep ocean is no more than 2 metres. However, when approaching the shallow waters of island or continental coastlines, it sharply decreases its speed, and a deformed, large wall of water as high as 16-20 m and more, contacts the shore. Damage to buildings installations and especially, people can be enormous. In the last 1,000 years, Pacific Ocean tsunamis have been observed and recorded over 1,000 times. All of these were major catastrophic events, since smaller events often go unrecorded. “

• BBC - Science & Nature - Horizon - Supervolcanoes: Transcript of a BBC show on supervolcanoes - like what would happen if the entire Yellowstone area went up at once.

Okay, a little research into seismic weapons came from The Tom Bearden Website:

“First, in 1997 then Secretary of Defense William Cohen specifically and publicly confirmed that ‘electromagnetic’ weapons were being used by ‘terrorists’ to initiate earthquakes, modify the climate (and the weather), and initiate volcanoes into eruption. So far as I’m aware, the news media did not even report this first-ever public confirmation by a high U.S. official of the old scalar interferometer weapons which have been around and in extensive use since April 1963. Today, e.g., some 10 nations have such weapons or versions of them, and even the Japanese Yakuza has acquired them (in latter 1989).”

Now, I haven’t been able to confirm any of the last bit about the ‘ten nations’ having these weapons. If they did, then this recent tsunami would really set the pace for the use of this weapon.

Curious enough, I have been able to locate a (*.doc) study that Bearden has done. It uses a lot of the same sources my own research has been leading me to. I would say as a disclaimer that since that’s the case, these are not exactly different studies, unfortunately I simply can’t find more raw data online.

At this point I’ve reached the end of what I can research without outside assistance or more credible sources.

Key searches to get the information I’ve found in Google: ‘Scalar Interferometer seismic’, ’seismic weaponry’, ‘tesla earthquake’, ‘William Cohen University of Georgia’, and ‘Hideo Murai Aum Shinrikyo’.

You be the final judge of whether or not the question of an intentional act such as a tsunami could threaten the USA’s coastline.
