It is God who gives understanding to each individual. Haarp project in Alaska is reported to be a joint venture between the United States and Russia to change the jet streams and control whether sending powerful radio waves into the air at risk of disastrous effects on the weather and human life as we have seen in recent months/years. Location, Fairbanks Alaska. I quote from website <http://english.pravda.ru/main/2003/01/15/42068 .html> "Haarp poses a global threat, the use of the new geophysical weapon might lead to the global catastrophe. A lot of specialists and scientists believe that unpredictable natural disasters and several man-caused catastrophes that struck Europe and Asia in the summer of the year 2000 say that there might be certain global reasons that cause them all. First and foremost, it goes about a possibility of secret geophysical weapons tests. Those tests were either secret or unauthorized. The Russian Federation State Duma spent almost a year, considering the global threat of the Haarp program. It is well known that the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. concluded an agreement at the end of the 1970's. Pursuant to agreement, scientific developments in the field of geophysics for military purposes were banned. All the works in the field became secret too. However, the works continued anyway, despite the signed document. It was simple conducted under the disguise of the scientific research or the development of the double purpose technology. The point and the purpose of those developments were rather vague and mysterious". earthpulse.com/haarp/background.html a powerful typhoon has hit South Korea said to be the worse in 100 years. I want to read from the newspaper Mountain Express article of Asheville North Carolina and written by Connie Bostic, "Where does S C painter William Thomas Thompson fit into the "art brut" club, an association with increasingly lose standards of membership?. Decide for yourself: The Art and Vision of William Thomas Thompson opens at the Hendersonville art space gallery 415. At one time, the title of folk or naive artist was restricted to men and women from certain indigenous groups who made functional, traditional items like quilts, jugs, chairs, walking sticks, weather vanes and the like. Mostly these were artifacts, remnants of vanishing cultures-objects meant for natural history museums, not fine art galleries. But perhaps as a reaction to the perception that modern art was all head and no heart, the last half of the 20th century saw a rising interest in work by uneducated artist and sculptors living in isolation (self-imposed and otherwise). Theirs was dediantly art with heart. Many of these artist were from the rural South, and many drew their inspiration from a fundamentalist Christianity's tempestuous visions of hell and salvation. Their work gradually became commercially viable. Sophisticated collectors enjoyed slumming it, as it were, showing friends the "weird" fire and brimstone, fear based works of such celebrated, visionary artist as Howard Finster and Prophet "Royal" Roberson. But as this kind of work became more popular, a different kind of "outsider" artist appeared: one who was so well traveled, educated and living a contemporary lifestyle. The world of serious art was too hard, and making "faux folk" art seemed an attractive path. Where William Thomas Thompson fits into this conundrum is a conundrum of its own. Thompson has not studied art, but he is not unworldly: He was an entrepreneur who traveled to many parts of the world before being "called by God" to paint after attending an inspirational church service in Hawaii".
