Atmospheric Control
This family combines Reich's Cloudbusters (orgone energy weather modification), HAARP conspiracy theories (ionospheric heating as weather/mind control weapon), scalar weather control systems (longitudinal wave atmospheric manipulation), telluric/earth grid technologies (ley line and planetary energy grid engineering), and georesonant networks (planetary-scale wireless energy via Schumann resonances).
Proposed Technologies and Mechanisms
Cloudbusters allegedly draw atmospheric orgone through grounded metal tubes; HAARP uses high-frequency radio to heat ionosphere (conspiracy theories attribute weather control, earthquakes, mind control); scalar weather proponents claim longitudinal EM waves steer jet streams; earth grid theories propose geometric energy networks accessible for power or communication. Georesonant networks propose utilizing Earth's natural resonant frequencies—particularly Schumann resonances (~7.83 Hz fundamental ELF electromagnetic resonances in Earth-ionosphere cavity)—for wireless energy transmission or global communication, a planetary-scale implementation of Tesla's world wireless system. Some propose modulating Schumann resonances for submarine communication (actually researched) or consciousness influence (speculative).
Critical Assessment
Reich's cloudbuster shows no effects beyond coincidence. HAARP's actual capabilities involve small localized ionospheric research, lacking energy scale for weather or seismic manipulation. Scalar weather control invokes non-existent physics. Telluric currents are real geological phenomena but don't form geometric grids. While ELF can penetrate water and earth, data rates are extremely low (bits per minute) and powering devices via ELF requires impractically large antennas. Biological effects of Schumann resonances are unproven despite claims about human health and consciousness. The category represents anxieties about atmospheric manipulation, military geoengineering, and desire to control or tap planetary systems. It merges some real technologies (ionospheric heaters, Schumann resonances, telluric currents) with vast speculation about capabilities and mechanisms.
