21. I can't work out if the "Congressional Executive Summary" is genuine
because it is the same as this 'paper' from 'Gaiacomm International', but with "Gaiacomm 4G technology" changed to "the HF Active Auroral Ionospheric Research Program (HAARP)" and such name changes - or maybe the changes occurred the other way round.

Gaiacomm International does appear to be a real company (base largely around the Horne family:

The Board of Directors consists of Dr. Judah Ben-Hur, Chairman, Mr. David H. Horne, Jr., President and CEO, Mr. Dan J. Thomas, Jr., Executive Vice-President and COO, and Mr. Rob S. Cotton, Director of Human Resources. Ms. Brandie M. Halterman is Webmaster / Administrator.

The company's Board of Advisors includes several notables: Florida Commissioner of Education Jim Horne, former Florida DOE Chief Technology Officer Ruben P. Lopez, attorney-at-law, J. Allison DeFoor II, the 1990 Lt. Governor running mate of former Florida Governor Bob Martinez, and William E. ("Bill") Horne, President-CEO, Outback Sports, Inc.

but I can't find any more references to it apart from its PR releases and an 'award' from "Frost & Sullivan" - who do give awards to genuine companies like HP, it must be admitted. So is Gaiacomm genuine? It has big ideas, according to its plan to set up offices in Jacksonville. It names real people in its Borad of Advisors. But it seems to have no accomplishments so far. Who originated the paper that it shares (with name changes) with the viewzone site? Has anyone any ideas on finding out which is the genuine one, and which is the ripoff?

The Executive Summary you linked to is actually described by viewzone as the military's executive summary - not something to do with Congress. How did viewzone get hold of it? Why is there no date on it?
