PressTV) – An unconfirmed report by the Russian Northern Fleets says the Haiti
earthquake was caused by a flawed US Navy ‘earthquake weapons’ test
before the weapons could be utilized against Iran.

United States Navy test of one of its ‘earthquake weapons’ which was to be used
against Iran, went ‘horribly wrong’ and caused the catastrophic quake
in the Caribbean, the website of Venezuela’s ViVe TV recently reported,
citing the Russian report.

After the report was released, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez also made a
similar claim, saying that a US drill, carried out in preparation for a
deliberate attempt to cause an earthquake in Iran, had led to the
deadly incident in Haiti, claiming more than 110,000 lives.

Though Russian Northern Fleets’ report was not confirmed by official sources,
the comments attracted special attention in some US and Russian media
outlets including Fox news and Russia Today.

Russia Today’s report said that Moscow has also been accused of possessing and utilizing such weapons.

In 2002, a Georgian Green Party leader claimed that Moscow had instigated an
earthquake on Georgian territory, the TV channel said.

According to ViVe, the unconfirmed Russian report says earlier this month the US
carried out a similar test in the Pacific Ocean, which also caused
another 6.5 magnitude earthquake in an area near the town of Eureka,
California.

The California quake resulted in no deaths or serious injury, but left many buildings damaged.

The Venezuelan news website said that the report also introduced the
possibility that the US Navy may have had “full knowledge” of the
damage that the test could cause.

The report also speculated that knowledge of the possible outcome was why the US
military had pre-positioned the deputy commander of US Southern
Command, General P. K. Keen, on the island so that he could oversee
relief efforts if the need arose.

Based on the alleged report, the ultimate goal of the US weapons tests was to
initiate a series of deadly earthquakes in Iran to topple the current
Islamic system in the country.

The tests are believed to be part of the United States’ High Frequency Active Auroral
Research Program (HAARP), which has been associated with many
conspiracy theories.

Other than being blamed for earthquakes, HAARP has also been associated with
weather anomalies that cause floods, droughts and hurricanes.

Some sources have even linked the 7.8 magnitude quake that shook the Chinese city of Sichuan in May 12, 2008 with the program.

Allegations have been made that since the late 1970’s, the US has ‘greatly
advanced’ the state of its earthquake weapons to the point where it is
now utilizing devices that employ a Tesla Electromagnetic Pulse, Plasma
and Sonic technology, along with ’shockwave bombs.’

Russia has accused the US military of employing such devices in Afghanistan to
trigger the devastating 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit the country
back in March, 2002.

In the mid-1990s the Russian State Duma issued a press release on HAARP, which
was signed by 90 deputies. The statement said the US was “creating new
integral geophysical weapons that may influence the near-Earth medium
with high-frequency radio waves.”

“The significance of this qualitative leap could be compared to the
transition from cold steel to firearms, or from conventional weapons to
nuclear weapons.”

“This new type of weapons differ from previous types in that the near-Earth
medium becomes at once an object of direct influence and its
component,” the statement explained.

In 1997, US Secretary of Defense William Cohen also expressed concern about
activities that “can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes
remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.”

The US government, however, has chosen to stick to its position that HAARP
is merely a program aimed at analyzing the Earth’s ionosphere for the
purpose of developing communications and surveillance technology.
