hack around a bit to find out more about Project Aerosol research, as all of this technology was new to me. Around
that time, my manager was transferred to the physics department after the U.S. Navy brought in a lieutenant dressed in
civilian clothes to manage the IT department. He made my life hell, moving me out of my capacity and taking me off
all the projects I was involved with on the RHIC and the cluster server, then banishing me to do departmental
backups. I knew it was because of my hacking around. Subsequently, I left BNL. Much of the IT department was
outsourced after a new director arrived.
I can definitely testify that BNL has intranet access to CERN. I did an upgrade on BNL’s cluster server and had to
log in and test the link to make sure that our CERN link was back up and online. BNL also has a supercomputer that
was built in-house with a proprietary link to both CERN and Japan’s ILC (International Linear Collider) and the
KEKB accelerator. I knew this for a fact as one weekend I worked on upgrading storage arrays on BNL’s cluster
while a physicist and a hardware technician I knew were doing a hardware upgrade on the BNL supercomputer. I
remember they were quite concerned about the proprietary intranet links when they failed to come up after the
upgrade. 7
How many particle accelerator labs are still active and how many are proof of concept labs
receiving data from LHC particle detectors for number-crunching and computer modeling is hard
to say. Wikipedia (notoriously unreliable) lists many as having been shut down—or did they just
“go black”? The site “Particle Accelerators Around the World” (www-elsa.physik.uni-
bonn.de/accelerator_list.html) seems accurate, though again, who knows, given that most of the
programs are geared to researching kinetic weapons and not physics per se?
Take the eight-hundred-foot “Desertron” Superconducting Super-Collider (SSC) in
Waxahachie, Texas near Dallas, a fifty-four-mile-long tunnel 250 feet under the Earth’s surface
8
with a “ring” circumference of 87.1 kilometers and an energy of 20 TeV per beam of protons—
3X that of the LHC (7 TeV per beam). Protons hurtling at the speed of light (harmonic 16944),
antimatter collisions shattering quantums of energy. The Desertron was to build and test
superconducting magnets for other super-colliders (plus magnetic-levitation trains or maglevs,
motors, energy storage, low-loss power distribution, etc.). Construction began in 1991 but by
1993 the story was that the Desertron was hopelessly over budget with just 22.5 km of tunnel and
seventeen shafts completed, so it was shut down. In 2006, the Department of Energy purportedly
sold it to Arkansas multimillionaire Johnnie Bryan Hunt whose dream was to build the Collider
Data Center.
Hunt’s unique selling point for Collider Data Center was its location and infrastructure. The collider sits on an
independent power grid capable of delivering 10 megawatts of power (and up to 100 megawatts if needed), and it has
its own dedicated fiber optic line. Its two warehouses can support floor loads of 500 pounds per square foot, perfect
for the enormous servers that Hunt intended to buy. The entire complex is clear of flight paths and out of hurricane,

tsunami, earthquake and flood zones.
But then Hunt “slipped on ice” and died, so the half-dug underground facility again sat idle—
or did it?
Earlier, I stressed that HAARP experiments have damaged the ionosphere and weakened the
magnetosphere. CERN, in tandem with scalar interferometers like HAARP, is no doubt
complicit, as well, but could also offset impact on the magnetosphere. “Ripples” in the
magnetosphere can cause airplanes to literally drop from the sky. Rumors about CERN flew
when on March 24, 2015, Germanwings Airbus A320 went from a cruising altitude of 38,000
feet to a rapid descent over the French Alps 127 miles from CERN. Only 10 percent of airplane
crashes occur after a plane reaches cruising altitude.
On April 23, 2016, the magnetosphere collapsed (“disappeared”) for two hours. While it is
tempting to blame the LHC superconducting magnets, CERN watcher Anthony Patch insists that
at that time the LHC was running at low luminosity and producing corresponding low-duration
