The Van Allen Radiation belts were damaged in the 60's by the US Air Force. According to certain highly trusted sources, they damaged the Van Allen
Radiation belts so much that a "great hole" was opened up, which has been continuing to grow ever since, along specific lines of magnetic force.
Furthermore, it cannot be repaired. This will result in the entire collapse of the atmosphere and increasingly allow cosmic rays and cosmic dust to
bombard the earth. It will also allow for increasing severe magnetic storms to penetrate to the surface of the earth along the gravitational vortex
points, most noticeably off the coast of Florida in the Bermuda Triangle. (This can be seen as severe electrical storms and also massive heat waves,
etc.) The hole will also allow for super-magnetic fields from the sun to penetrate to the surface of the earth causing widespread power failures -
even at nuclear powered plants.
There is no human means to repair the damage done to the Van Allen radiation belts! Eventually our biosphere/atmosphere will collapse and effectively
leave all of humanity "naked" without this protective membrane. Furthermore, at that final hour of total biospherical failure, we will not be able
to discern the difference between the atmosphere and the seas resulting in all those in the seas and oceans at that time perishing.
Thought you or your readership might be interested to know the truth of the real cause of "global warming".
Check out operation Argus and Fishbowl for more information on the nuclear bomb tests which destroyed our Van Allen Belts.
On the other hand, the "Starfish" H-bomb test, conducted by the USAir Force in July 1962 above Johnston Island west of Hawaii, injected high-energy
electrons into the stable inner radiation belt, many of them lasting a year or two, some even longer. The intense artificial radiation belt from that
blast disabled three satellites.
Nuclear explosions in space were banned in 1967 by an international treaty, but nature itself sometimes steps in. On March 24, 1991 a strong
interplanetary shock, originating on the Sun, hit the Earth's atmosphere, compressed it greatly and sent a secondary shock through its interior. Like
surfers riding a wave, trapped electrons and ions rode this shock and within a minute or so created a new radiation belt just outside the inner belt
(picture below). The new belt contained both electrons and protons of high energy (15-20 Mev), and it disabled the MARECS-I satellite and degraded
GOES-7. The new (damaged) belt was observed by the US Air Force satellite CRRES and was still in place (somewhat weakened) when CRRES stopped
transmitting at the end of 1991. For a more complete story, click here.
