Open Letter Date: 4/12/99 2:09:43 PM Pacific Daylight Time From: editor@universebooks.com (UniverseBooks.com) To: editor@universebooks.com Hi! All - We wanted to share with you an Open Letter, being sent to extraterrestrial activists, as well as environmentalists, in Eastern Europe, the Americas, the European Union, Asia & Africa. It is not often that extraterrestrially-interested people and environmentalists collaborate. However, environmental war cuts across our superficially different concerns. We have concluded that human environmental war and its destructive impact on the Earth may be a concern of the extraterrestrial initiative to the planet, and of natural environmentalists everywhere. Please-how do you feel? Geri DeStefano & Alfred Webre UniverseBooks.com: http://www.universebooks.com Digital Books for a Visionary Age Vancouver, BC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OPEN LETTER - ENVIRONMENTAL WAR This Open Letter is being sent to public-minded people and organizations in Eastern Europe and Russia, the European Union, North/South America, Africa and Asia. We are concerned about the development of environmental weapons and the impact of this insidious technology upon the Earth and its inhabitants. We invite you to scroll down for a more complete discussion of the issue. This is a call to ACTION. We are proposing a grassroots movement on the part of organizations and citizens of the World, to focus this issue sharply before the governments that are engaged in furthering this devastating possibility. It is becoming clearer that nation- states do two things well: conduct wars and oppress people. The 1977 United Nations Treaty against Environmental Modification was forged as a potential deterrent to just this kind of activity. Forged, but not implemented. Environmental weapons development violates the 1977 UN Treaty, and may violate the 1985- 87 UN Vienna Convention and Montreal Protocol against depletion of the Ozone layer. These UN treaties and conventions are not being enforced to stop environmental war. The treaties were signed by all military nations, who continue to recklessly try and use Sacred ecological forces as instruments of war. If you or your organization share similar concerns the time to act is now! Many of us are organized around diverse issues. Environmental Warfare coalesces many of the issues that we normally see as unconnected. This is a strategic time in history for all concerned to work together to put a stop to Environmental War technology. WHAT YOU CAN DO: 1) Adopt a strong organization/personal action item against Environmental War 2) Email United Nations Environmental Programme Director Klaus Topfer: & demand the UN strictly enforce the 1977 treaty and the 1985-87 Conventions to stop environmental war. 3) Forward this Open Letter to interested journalists and media, and to your legislative representatives and governments 4) Copy this letter and forward it to ANYONE who shares these concerns. 5) Forward this letter to SG Kofi Annan of the United Nations demanding strict enforcement of the 1977 Treaty against Environmental Modification, so that development and deployment of environmental weapons cease. 6) Begin the conversation within your group and research this subject. Bring awareness to this most important issue of Environmental War, and take action. You as an individual, or your organization can make a difference!

The perfection of the E-Bomb, an electronic weapon using electromagnetic pulse energy, has now made environmental warfare feasible as a strategic and tactical weapons application. Australian scientist Carlo Kopp of Monash University has shown how the E-Bomb can be built and used: http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~carlo/ Electromagnetic pulse energy is similar to that released by nuclear explosions. In Environmental warfare, E-weapons are employed to create weather war, climate war, or tectonic warfare. Weather war occurs when storms, hurricanes and cyclones are created over an enemy's territory. In climate war, prolonged climate shifts such as drought are used against an enemy. In tectonic warfare, destructive earthquakes are triggered in an enemy's territory. Researchers have shown that world seismicity (earthquakes) have doubled since underground nuclear testing began, caused by electromagnetic pulse energy released by nuclear testing. While no major military power has yet admitted to its arsenal of E- weapons, Internet news sources have reported that NATO has used new, secret electromagnetic pulse weapons in its attacks on Yugoslavia and Kosovo. Russia first deployed electromagnetic pulse weapons in its Woodpecker series in the mid-1970s. A new book by futurist Alfred Webre notes that military doctrines for environmental warfare call for a powerful new generation of electromagnetic pulse weapons. Because of the fragility of earth's magnetic fields, it is possible that environmental warfare could trigger "runaway" earth changes that would be truly cataclysmic. Precognitive information from diverse sources and cultures, including the Mayan Calendar, has predicted possible cataclysmic earth outcomes for this era. Environmental warfare could represent a mechanism for triggering an age of earth cataclysm.
