the system. The military has continued to deny the connection between Eastlund,
APTI and HAARP throughout the project. However, the three Eastlund patents were all
assigned to APTI. 136 The other nine patents, according to the Patent Office
records,
were also assigned to APTI by their inventors. This begins to unravel the
disinformation spin of the HAARP planners. APTI won the contract to build HAARP,
while bidding against an experienced government contractor with a strong success
record - Raytheon. Raytheon was number 52 on the Fortune 500 list for 1993 and is
one of the biggest defense contractors in the world. In the bid rating process with the
military the only thing that APTI had going for it was a set of twelve compelling
patents.
APTI's twelve patents are discussed in another chapter. These patents were
used in the HAARP project and some of their inventors were listed as "key
personnel" in the HAARP contract with APTI. Also, according to the contract if
APTI switched any of the key personnel they could lose the entire project.
After the contract was awarded, APTI was sold to E-Systems of Dallas,
Texas. The June 10, 1994 sale was transacted under undisclosed terms, APTI had
shown no net income since it opened in the late 1980's, which made the sale
particularly interesting. 137 It was reported that APTI was involved in research
financed by government grants. E-Systems changed the name of the company to
Advanced Power Technologies Incorporated, and assumed control of the patents and
the HAARP project. 138 E-Systems reported annual sales of $1,9 billion a year, had
18,662 employees 139 (1992) and is one of the largest intelligence contractors in the
United States. So why would E-Systems buy a company with no net
income and no major assets except for the twelve patents and an
unfunded second phase of a construction contract? The only real value
was the contract, and the technology in the package of patents.
E-Systems was the subject of a lengthy article in the Washington Post by
staff writer John Mintz. He disclosed that E-Systems' technologies were "part of the
central nervous system for the nation's intelligence community." $1.8 billion of
their $2.1 billion in sales was for classified projects. A large part of the projects
came from the National Security Agency (NSA) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
and other intelligence organizations. Many of the company employees are former
personnel from the NSA, CIA and military retirees. People with highly technical
backgrounds and a history of working in government intelligence circles are hired by
the company almost automatically, according to the Washington Post article. Retired
Navy Admiral William Raborn, CIA director under Lyndon B. Johnson, for years
served on the board of directors, 140
E-Systems was one of the featured stories in a CBS, 60 Minutes segment was
