Antartica

[rattlesnake]

A treaty signed by all countries of the world prevents ordinary citizens from going there. Whistleblowers such as Erick Hecker, ex contractor for Raytheon, has testified that there are exotic weapons and technology there that are beyond anything humans could ever produce or conceive.

Any thoughts? Insights?

Hmmm 🤔 

 

Remember HAARP?  Did anything ever come from that?  There used to be all kinds of speculation as to what it’s true purpose was.

If you want to waste your life on distractions, go ahead, enjoy. Obviously gives you the energy tonget through your Grey days.

Yawn.  Tin foil hat conspiracies.

There are almost 20 countries with overlapping claims to Antarctica.  It is also far from most country's ability to quickly reach, making it difficult to impossible to attack or defend. 

A base far from your resources & strengths is a stupid choice to develop advanced weapons & military technology.

Was Hugo Chavez Right About HAARP & The HAITI Earthquake? Is Weather Even Natural Anymore?

 

The US military has developed advanced capabilities that enable it selectively to alter weather patterns. The technology, which is being perfected under the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), is an appendage of the Strategic Defense Initiative – ‘Star Wars’. From a military standpoint, HAARP is a weapon of mass destruction, operating from the outer atmosphere and capable of destabilising agricultural and ecological systems around the world.

Your friends went to the small outlying enclave where tourism is allowed. My uncle went snowmobiling there.

 

I'm talking about the actual mainland, and if you reserach it seriously, you will see it is virtually impossible to obtain the required permit and access it.

 

What permits are needed for Antarctica?
All human activities, whether for science or tourism, have to go through an Environmental Impact Assessment by a relevant Competent Authority/government agency. Critically, IAATO Member operators have agreed that their activities must have less than a minor or transitory impact on the environment. They submit permit applications annually to their Competent Authority/government agency and, if their planned activities meet all criteria, they are authorized and a permit granted.

Is it?

I have heard of quite a few Antarctica tours are operated from Australia and Argentina though.

A very interesting interview by Admiral Byrd, after his expedition to the South Pole during which he spoke of an area of land as big as the US below the surface.

Doesn't stop people over fishing Antarctic Toothfish there (sold as Snowfish).

At approximately 2 minutes in, he claims there's something that he himself admits he's never seen (but wishes to) and says...NOT been seen by any human being❗So how can he possibly know❓Wait...unless he's NOT human. That must be it❗❗❗👽

Where does he claim "below the surface"❓ 

 

He was referring to the areas on the “eastern" side of the Antarctic continent coming from Little America. Little America is on the western side and 800 miles from the geographical South Pole. There was/is a huge area to the east, which in Byrd's day which was totally unexplored. This is obviously to what the good Admiral was referring. Not some secret/hidden continent.

Actually only 58 countries.  Less than 30% of all the countries in the world.

You are absolutely correct. Thank you for clarifying this.

Its too dangerous, they might fall over the edge of the World if they cross the ice ridges

This is by far the smartest thing you've said this year, Nick.

Here is the Antarctic Treaty for reference:
https://www.gc.noaa.gov/documents/1959-Antarctic-treaty.pdf

“The Antarctic Treaty area” referred to in the treaty is defined as “the area south of 60 degrees lattitude”. This is, effectively, the vast majority of the land, outside areas designated for tourism.

 

Here is the link to the US Department of State Handbook of the Antarctic Treaty system:

https://2009-2017.state.gov/e/oes/rls/rpts/ant/index.htm

Tourism and other non-governmental activities:

“The environmental protocol designates Antarctica as a giant natural reserve…”.

Like in a military base, all activities and pathways in Antarctica must be approved. This in itself is remarkable and unique (with the exception of North Korea, probably).
No motorised vehicles are allowed in order not to disturb wildlife:
“Do not use aircraft, vessels, small boats, or other means of transport in ways that disturb wildlife, either at sea or on land.”

Antarctica stretches across thousands of miles, which are virtually impossible to explore without a means of transport. And permits are required on top of that:

 

To explore or traverse Antarctica, you not only need a permit, which entails a close examination of your purpose, parties, credentials, backing, etc., you must also submit a (very expensive) environmental impact statement and much more. Also, you’re required to avoid substantial amounts of land. This renders Antarctica explorations virtually impossible for anyone outside “official” sources.

If you want to travel to Antarctica, you must complete the following form (DS-4131 “Advance Notification Form – Tourist and Other Non-Governmental Activities in the Antarctic Treaty Area“): https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds4131.PDF

Once you submit the form, “The Department of State, in consultation with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), will then determine whether the expedition is subject to U.S. jurisdiction. If we determine that the expedition falls under U.S. jurisdiction, we will provide information on how to proceed with the EPA and NSF documentation processes, which are mandatory under U.S. law.” https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/country/antarctica.html

All this combined makes it virtually impossible to travel beyond the areas allocated to touristic routes, the vast territory south of 60 degrees lattitude.

 

Also notable are the Antarctic Specially Protected Areas, which amount to 1,373 sqm and whose access is strictly forbidden under any conditions.
