I guess the United States has known how to manipulate the magnetic field for awhile. This patent seems to have lurked without being noticed for awhile.
"Electron cyclotron resonance heating has been used in experiments on the earth’s surface to produce and accelerate plasmas in a diverging magnetic field. Kosmahl et al. showed that power was efficiently transferred from the electromagnetic waves and that a fully ionized plasma was accelerated with a divergence angle of roughly 13 degrees."
"Method and apparatus for creating an artificial electron cyclotron heating region of plasma."
US 4712155 A. "The radiation is deliberately transmitted at the outset in a direction substantially parallel to and along the artificial field line which extends upwardly through the region of plasma to be altered. The radiation is transmitted at a frequency which is based on the cyclotron or gyrofrequency of the charged particles and which, when applied to the plasma is said at least one region."

Here's the kicker - we've artificially moved the magnetic poles around a long time ago. Maybe they're doing it now. Keep in mind that this patent, filed in 1985, uses the past tense:
