TESLA DOOM
WEAPONS & AUM SHINRIKYO
By
David

When it comes to Aum
Shinrikyo - the sinister Japanese cult said to be responsible
for the Tokyo subway Sarin attack in 1995 - almost anything is
possible. But
some serious journalists and independent scientists who have
investigated the shadowy background of Aum, are unravelling
sinuous connections that leap-frog the Aum story into another
league altogether.[i]
These focus on claims that
Aum were intimately involved in the research and development
of futuristic doomsday weapons that make today’s nuclear
missiles look like children’s toys. These weapons, they
believe, are so advanced that they don’t “officially” exist in
the armouries of the major powers. These involve the use
of Tesla Electromagnetic pulse, earthquake inducing and Plasma
weapons being covertly tested in remote regions of the
world.
Laying at the centre of
these allegations are a series of powerful earthquakes,
strange fireballs and aerial lights manifesting above Western
Australia. They
also revolve around the major January 1995 quake which laid
waste to the Japanese City of Kobe. The latter resulted in
the crash of the Tokyo stock exchange - itself directly
leading to the collapse of England’s spook-infested Barings
bank. Suggestions
that the Kobe event may have been caused by a laser-powered
seismic weapon continue to circulate.
Extraordinarily, Aum’s
charismatic guru, Shoko Asahara, predicted the Kobe quake nine
days before the event.
In an 8 January 1995 radio broadcast, Asahara stated
“Japan will be attacked by an earthquake in 1995. The most likely place
is Kobe.” Hideo
Murai, the late Science and Technology minister for Aum
Shinrikyo also adhered to this view. Murai - said to have
been the most intelligent Japanese who ever lived - was
murdered in a Yakuza orchestrated assassination shortly after
speaking on the record to foreign news correspondents.[ii]
Murai presented his
allegation in an April 7 1995 news conference at the Foreign
Correspondent Club in Japan. In answer to questions
about the Kobe quake, Murai said “There is a strong
possibility of the activation of an earthquake using
electromagnetic power, or somebody may have used a device that
applied force inside the Earth.” The Aum leadership
believed the Kobe quake an act of war: “The City of Kobe was
hit by a surprise attack…” they claimed, adding the City was
an “…appropriate guinea pig.”[iii]
Aum’s singular interest in
weapons of mass destruction - including sophisticated
earthquake, weather and plasma weapons - were considered
serious enough to launch a special investigation by the US
Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Chaired by Senator Sam
Nunn, the committee spent five months conducting hundreds of
interviews of “both government and private individuals.”[iv] These included
classified briefings from numerous US intelligence
agencies. Their
findings were published in an October 1995, 100 page report on
the Aum cult.
The
Nunn report, in addition to outlining Aum’s large
international membership and massive finances of US$1 billion
plus, also revealed the cult’s fascination for Tesla
weapons. The
Senate report describes Aum’s visits to the New York based
International Tesla Society (ITS), where they sought to obtain
a number of his books, patents and papers. A representative of
the ITS told Senate investigators that Aum’s interest focused
on Tesla’s experiments with “resonating frequencies,” adding
that “Tesla had experimented in creating earthquakes.” Significantly, the
report also states that Tesla claimed “…with his technology he
could ‘split the world’ in two.” This astonishing
assertion closely parallels remarks made by Soviet Premier
Krushchev to the Presidium in 1960, where he referred to “…the
advent of a new class of Soviet Superweapon, so powerful it
could wipe out all life on earth if unrestrainedly used.”[v]
Not
least, the Senate report mentions Tesla’s development of a
“ray gun in the 1930’s, which was actually a particle beam
accelerator,” and which was said to be able to “shoot down an
airplane at 200 miles.[vi]” Following Tesla’s
death in 1943, the US government seized his papers and
research notes, placing them under national security lock and
key. An undoubted
genius during his life, Tesla’s papers curiously remain highly
classified today - 53 years later.
In
addition to visiting New York’s ITS, Aum personnel also
travelled to the Tesla Museum in Belgrade. Their studies here
included researching the so called “Tesla Coil” - a device
used for alternating currents. Additionally, they
also uncovered Tesla’s work on “high energy voltage
transmission and on wave amplification, which Tesla asserted
could be used to create seismological
disturbances.”[vii]
As
intriguing and informative as they are, this is not the place
to provide a detailed background of Aum Shinrikyo’s
ideology.
However, it is important to note that the cult shared
one common thread with their arch rivals, the militaristic
Soka Gakkai. The
latter is a truly enormous and powerful Japanese religious
cult with 15 million members and massive finances. The cult have
thoroughly infiltrated every aspect of Japanese life and,
according to veteran reporter Jack Amano, have “covert cells”
operating throughout all government departments. Every major Japanese
business corporation is riddled with members, Amano states.[viii] Moreover, SG have
enormous influence over current Japanese foreign policy.
Both cults adhere to the
cataclysmic teaching of the 18th century prophet
monk, Nichiren.
This doctrine states that an apocalyptic “final war”
(saishu senso”) is to be fought against the “Christian west
and the Islamic world.”
Also known as the “100 hundred year war” it pre-dates
WW11 and continues to be fought in the shadows, even as we
speak.[ix]
ENTER THE RUSSIAN BEAR
By
the early nineties, Asahara and his fellow Aum leaders had
made giant inroads into the former Soviet Union. Operating at the
highest levels, agreements were reached for the Russians to
provide advanced weaponry to Aum. Unsurprisingly, as
soon as pen was put to paper - between the Russian government
and official representatives of the Japanese government - to
ratify the agreements hammered out by Aum - the leadership of
Soka Gakkai again felt free to re-commence hostilities against
their rival. This
resulted, Amano says, in the now infamous Tokyo gas
attack. Vilified
throughout the world - for an act of sabotage they did not
engineer - Aum Shinrikyo’s growing reach and power was
effectively crushed, leaving Soka Gakkai in the driving seat
once more.
The Nunn report makes clear
that Aum sought to selectively recruit Russian scientists into
its fold. They
targeted, in particular, physicists, chemists, biologists and
others engaged in advanced military weapons research. The Senate report also
states that Aum were in the process of purchasing a gas laser
for plasma-weapons research from their Russian contacts, one
of who was Oleg Lobov, Premier Yeltsin’s close
confidante. Lobov
was paid a significant sum of money for his assistance. The figure may have
been as much as US$900 million. It is also clear that
Aum received significant assistance from various Russian
intelligence services, according to “Vitaly Savitsky, head of
the Russian Duma’s religious affairs committee.”[x] Aum’s intelligence
connections also extended to Toshio Yamaguchi, head of Japan’s
foreign intelligence service - and allegedly a Soka Gakkai
devotee.
TESLA WEAPONS?
But
the real question is do powerful Tesla-type earthquake weapons
really exist?
According to conventional scientific wisdom, the answer
is a categorical no.
Yet, there are many who harbour simmering doubts, and
still others who maintain that “conventional wisdom” inside
the scientific community merely reflects a mind-set rusted
closed by prolonged conservative values.
Despite this,
electromagnetic pulse and plasma weapon R & D is rapidly
occurring behind the misnomer of “Non Lethality,” and clearly
parallel Tesla’s work.
Major US defence contractors and leading government
weapon research laboratories are intensely interested in
“Directed Energy Weapons (DEW).” Research includes
“Radio Frequency and Particle Beam Weapons,” “Air and Space
Based Directed Energy Weapons,” and, among many others, “DEW
Weapons Effects on Personnel.”[xi] Of interest too, is a
paper written by Australian defence analyst, Carlo Kopp, which
outlines in considerable detail an “Electromagnetic
Bomb.” The
“E-Bomb,” Kopp says, has the ability to inflict damage “… not
unlike the experience through exposure to close proximity
lightning strikes.”[xii] In a broadcast dated
27 February 1996, Beijing radio outlined advances in particle
beam energy technology and alluded to a “weapon even more
powerful than the ‘death ray.’” The broadcast likened
the weapon to a “Thunderbolt,” adding that the moment it
struck it’s target (vaporising it), a temperature of 8000
degrees Celsius would be produced.[xiii] Not least are the
comments of Boris Belitsky, a leading Russian Science and
Engineering correspondent, broadcast on Voice of Russia, 24
February 1997.
Belitsky in replying to a question on Russian military
applications of microwave generators, stated “they can be used
to fire a plasmoid, that is, a blob of plasma…”[xiv]
Despite the uncanny
similarity of these latter-day lightning and directed energy
weapons to his own published research almost 100 years ago,
the name Tesla remains unuttered. Tesla, clearly has
become an Orwellian “non person” in the scientific and weapon
research community.
His classified research papers, however, may well have
been dusted down and quietly re-cycled?
A
brief foray into the literature of Tesla reveal an ingenious
inventor years ahead of his time. Born in Serbo-Croatia
in the former Yugoslavia, Nikola Tesla settled in the USA
where he received citizenship. Today, his work - at
least that part which is not hidden under national security
wraps - is undergoing a marked, although unofficial
revival. He is
belatedly credited with the discovery of alternating AC/DC
currents, fluorescent lighting, free energy and
remote-controlled robots. However, his inquiring
mind carried him into far wider realms.
During the late 1890’s,
Tesla built a “lightning bolt machine” at Shoreham, Long
Island, NY.
Funding for the project, dubbed “Wydenclyffe” was
provided by banker-entrepreneur, J. P. Morgan. The construction
consisted of an enormous 187 foot high tower, capped by a 55
ton, 68 foot metal dome.
Tesla was confident his machine would work as envisaged
- following previous experiments in Colorado where he had
accidentally destroyed the generating station at Colorado
Spring’s Electric Company.
Former US Army Colonel and
missile specialist, T. E. Bearden, credits Tesla with the
invention of what he calls the “Tesla Howitzer.” This, Bearden
maintains was able to transmit electric energy over vast
distances wire-lessly.
Tesla himself argued that this device could destroy
entire armies and thousands of airplanes at a distance of
hundreds of miles.[xv] It is this device,
using Scalar waves, that lays at the heart of discussions of
an earthquake weapon.
Bearden’s work, however, is generally regarded as being
theoretical rather than practical. Non-the-less, Tesla
claimed his inventions were not only possible but fairly
straight-forward.
The fact that many of his more exotic weapons concepts
arose at the turn of the last century is, of course,
remarkable. Nor
should we loose sight of the fact - which I have repeated
because of its significance - that his work papers remain
veiled behind US national security classification.
If
such weapons do, indeed, exist, and covert testing is taking
place - as cited by Archipelago journalists and others
tracking this story- then we would expect solid evidence of
unusual earthquakes and related events to surface. The Kobe earthquake,
though interesting, must be viewed with caution. Aum guru Asahara’s
prediction could just as easily be predicated on known
geological forecasting.
This rationale, however, does not appear to fit the
facts regarding a large number of powerful quakes and other
curious energy events that peppered Western Australia over the
last few years.
TESLA WEAPON TESTING IN THE
OUTBACK?
In
1995, British born Geologist/Geophysicist, Harry Mason,
stumbled across a strange, unaccountable earthquake which
rumbled across the vast open spaces of Western Australia two
years earlier.
The event took place at 11.03 p.m., on 28 May 1993 with
an epi-centre close to Banjawarn sheep station in the
Leonora-Laverton area - North-west of Perth. The event registered
3.7 on the Richter scale and was assumed to have been the
first ever recorded quake in that part of Australia. Mason, who was very
familiar with the region and it’s geological composition, was
intrigued.
Initially believing the tremor was the result of a
meteorite impact, he set about gathering detailed data.[xvi]
Eyewitnesses reported
sighting a fireball trailing across the sky just minutes
before the subsequent tremor. This was followed by a
bright blue flash and shortly afterwards, by an earth tremor
measuring 3.7 on the Richter scale. Shortly following this
a “large hemisphere of orange light, lined with a silverish
glow, rose above the apparent blast site.”[xvii] Extraordinarily, the
dome of light remained in place for two hours, and then
rapidly vanished like “someone turning off a switch.”[xviii]
Extensive interviews soon
revealed to Mason, a number of major inconsistencies with his
meteorite theory.
For one thing the object was heard before it arrived
overhead and clearly was moving at a sub-sonic speed. Aware that meteorites
generally have entry speeds of around 25,000 mph, Mason was
bemused. In
addition the object gave of “no sparks or other drop off
fragments, and appeared to arc up over the observers before
seeming to plunge down to the North.”[xix] Moreover, the fireball
emitted “a fiery spherical white-blue-yellow light…” and
“…flew at relatively low altitude,” and “emitted a regular
pulsed swooshing roar” similar to a Diesel freight train
engine roar[xx] Some witnesses told
Mason they thought they had observed a jumbo jet or plane
crash. Subsequent
flights over the estimated impact site revealed no crater or
blast damage.
As
his detailed investigation continued, Mason became
increasingly convinced that the Banjawarn event was not a
meteor.[xxi] In time, his thoughts
increasingly turned towards the peculiar group that had
purchased the Banjawarn sheep station in late April 1993. Representatives of Aum
Shinrikyo had first arrived at the station in early April 1993
and commenced negotiations to buy the property five weeks
before the powerful quake. By May 1993, four
other Aum members, including a nuclear physicist arrived on
site. By
September 1993, Guru Shoko Asahara, arrived with his entourage
and remained for a few weeks. Throughout, a series
of unusual geological investigations by Aum scientists in, and
around Banjawarn, were undertaken.
These involved the curious
activities of Aum’s chief arms dealer, Kiyode Hayakawa. Visiting Banjawarn
station, he set about conducting extensive electromagnetic
tests with electronic probes. The data he
accumulated was fed into a laptop computer. Hayakawa remains
central to the story.
He had extraordinarily good contacts in Russia,
travelling there no less than 21 times and repeatedly meeting
with the chief of Russia’s Security Council. It was Hayakawa who
decided to purchase the sheep station, just days prior to the
energy event and subsequent ground tremor.
In
researching part in the Aum story, journalist Jack Amano, is
convinced that Hayakawa’s sojourns to Russia reaped rewards:
“Aum’s Russian scientists had provided detailed designs and
the theoretical grounding to develop a technology more
powerful even than the ultimate weapon predicted by
Asahara.”[xxii] Not least in the Aum
efforts, was the acquisition of related US weapons data
obtained by hacking into “sensitive US databases.”[xxiii] This, with the aid of
Japanese government funding, Russian technological know-how
and advanced equipment provided by major Japanese
transnational corporations, a terrifyingly powerful
super-weapon was being constructed in secret.
Meanwhile, Geologist, Harry
Mason, was gathering information that made him pause for
thought.
Intriguingly, just a few kilometres from Banjawarn, is
a military facility located at Laverton. Mason says that press
photo’s of this facility “are identical”[xxiv] to
the Alaskan HAARP (High-frequency Active Aural Research
Project) programme.
HAARP has received intense media speculation in recent
years, due to its Tesla-like research programme. In an early, detailed
essay, Mason concludes “One is certainly left with the
impression that someone has been utilising the
Leonora-Laverton region as their own private testing
ground.”[xxv] In a private telephone
conversation with the US Senate Investigations Chief Council,
Dan Gerber, Mason was told that Aum had “developed” nuclear
bombs and were thought to be conducting a “crash” programme to
build an “Earthquake Inducing Weapon.”[xxvi]
As
he continued his research, Mason began to gather a significant
amount of additional data relating to what he terms “beam
events.” These
are bright beams of light that hang suspended from the sky,
often for prolonged periods. He states that these
include “orange beams, small bright white lights and vivid
blue-white energy discharges” in the more uninhabited regions
of Australia.
These also include observations of “diffuse orange
energy ‘cylinders’ coming down and striking the ground, whilst
clouds overhead light up with exotic colours.” These beams, some
experts believe, are a clear “signature” of Scalar wave
weapons. In
addition there have been other unexplained “fireball” events -
notably a 1st May 1995 explosion above Perth,
estimated to have been in excess of 1 megaton of TNT energy
equivalence.
US
NAVY TO THE RESCUE?
Additional investigation by
Mason centred on the South East Great Sandy Desert of Western
Australia. An
area unknown for earthquake activity until 1970, an amazing
173 tremors measuring between 3-0 on the Richter scale
occurred between 1970-3, with the majority between March and
early October 1970.
The epi-centres of these events are spaced exactly 10
kilometres apart, along “8 lines each 50-70 km long. Several similar events
have occurred subsequently. With the present
figure standing at 246 (through 1995), Mason concludes they
are “abnormally regular,” and believes Australia is being
surreptitiously used as a testing ground for advanced “scalar
E/M weapons exercises.
Originally, Mason thought these tests may have been of
Russian KGB - or more probably French origin.”[xxvii] However, recent data
points to Scalar EM weapon tests conducted from the top secret
US Navy Exmouth Peninsula Tx facility.[xxviii] The US Navy connection
is intriguing.
It
was the US Navy who were responsible for Project “Prime Argus”
- a precursor programme to HAARP. Argus was responsible
for exploding three atomic bombs in the Van Allen belts and,
thereafter monitoring the resultant effects. Researchers who have
recently investigated the son of Argus, project HAARP,
maintain this is an advanced weapon system capable of acting
as an impenetrable planetary-wide missile shield.”[xxix] Behind the
construction of HAARP lay the scientific patents of Bernard J.
Eastlund.
Previously classified as Secret, Eastlund’s patents are
now partly available for inspection. They are revealing for
the sheer scope of what the HAARP project may be capable of,
including “weather modification.” Eastlund had in fact
used much of Tesla’s work to arrive at his concepts, a fact he
openly acknowledged.
Moreover, the original Prime Argus project was also
concerned with looking “at ways to cause earthquakes.”[xxx]
Whether Tesla’s earthquake
inducing devices, and other terrifying weapons of mass
destruction are being secretly tested by the major powers is,
so far, unproved.
But the fact remains that serious military research
demonstrates these are within grasp. Who knows, they may
even have been grasped - considering the 100 year lead-time of
Tesla’s inventions?.
Those of us closeted outside the secret world of
weapons research are left to squint and speculate.
Weapons that can mimic
cataclysmic natural disasters open a Pandora’s box of
deniability, and are, therefore, of great value in today’s “I
didn’t do it” doctrine of political survival. The fact that Aum did
acquire significant advanced weapons from Russia, and that
Japan is presently re-militarising itself as part of the
“China containment” strategy must be of concern - even
disregarding the dark visions of the prophet Nichiren and his
festering adherents inside Soka Gakkai and the Japanese
military, industrial and intelligence complex.
Similarly, one cannot
disregard the EM weapon advances of the US, nor forget the
touted joint US-Soviet-Japanese missile shield, which might
easily switch from defensive to offensive posture? If we are on the brink
of a new class of weapons so terrifying in their destructive
potential that they prompted Kruschev to sound his warning 36
years ago, should not the public at least be permitted
knowledge of what is being done in their name and with their
tax dollars?
Apparently not.
As ever, Joe and Jane citizen are to be left blinking
in ignorance - a fact their masters regard as “blissful” - as
they are Goose-stepped into a brave new world.
In
one experiment in 1896, Tesla accidentally triggered an
earthquake across a dozen New York city blocks. This, Tesla later said,
was caused “by a little piece of apparatus you could slip in
your pocket.” As
local police stormed his lab, the wily inventor lifted a
sledge-hammer and smashed the oscillator to pieces, bringing
an end to the pandemonium.[xxxi]
That one simple act of
common-sense wouldn’t go amiss today.

[i] I am
indebted to Yoichi Clark Shimatsu for patiently guiding me
through the subtleties of the Aum story. Yoichi - the former general
editor of Japan Weekly Times - together with a small band of
dedicated journalists have investigated the Aum Shinrikyo
story in great detail.
Those interested can find in-depth articles posted on
their website “Archipelago (www.pelago.com).” I have to say that the
Archipelago team are virtually alone among the Japanese media
to courageously unravel the Aum story. This has resulted in
the team members of Archipelago suffering genuine threats on
their lives and necessitated being kitted-out in body armour
and assigned unofficial police guards to protect them. Such dedication is
rare and itself should not go unreported.

[ix] During
WW11, right wing Japanese militarists loyal to Nichiren’s
teachings, occupied China and established the puppet state
“Manchukuo.” This
was to be a staging ground for the larger cataclysmic global
war. It was here
that Lt. General Shiro Ishii of the notorious Unit 731,
developed a leading edge in Biological Warfare. Using captured POW’s
as test subjects, Ishii and his team were responsible for some
of the most abhorrent human experiments ever recorded. A key figure during
this period was Kanji Ishihara. A right wing military
strategist, Ishihara predicted that the final war would be
fought with future “weapons from the laboratory.” However, Allied
victory in WW11 ensured that Japanese militarism ground to a
halt, and potential developments of sophisticated weapons were
outlawed.
Nichiren’s cataclysmic doctrine, however, was not
forgotten.

Significantly, Belitzky ruled out the possibility that these
weapons are mere bluff: “This is evident if only from the fact
that a few years ago, at the Russian-American summit in
Vancouver, the Russians proposed a joint experiment in testing
such generators - or plasma weapons…” The proposal was
called the “Vancouver to Vladivostok (V2) Initiative.” Similarly, an October
1996 government announcement stated that Russia would join
with Japan in the creation of a joint ballistic missile system
to balance Chinese regional power. This system would,
eventually, be linked to the US HAARP programme in
Alaska.
