HAARP: A Research Or A Camouflage?

beforeitsnews.com

      It’s been almost three months since the destructive Yolanda (Typhoon Haiyan) devastated the Visayas Region. Many would have thought that such angering natural disaster would have been an act of God or could be a product of man’s hands. As much as the noises of help for the Philippines sounded, the issue of Typhoon Yolanda being manipulated has also reached the public’s ears. Some would claim that this kind of storm, and a number of much destructive disasters, were allegedly created by a project called H.A.A.R.P.

What is H.A.A.R.P.?

       According to its official website, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) operates a major ionospheric research facility at Gakona, Alaska.  HAARP facility was intently situated in Alaska because arctic ionosphere strongly affects high latitude telecommunication systems.

      The aim of the research, which started in 1999, is to explore and understand natural phenomena occurring in the Earth's ionosphere and near-Earth space environment. It is claimed to be significant for applications in communication and navigation system. Ionosphere is the delicate upper layer of our atmosphere ranging from about 30 miles (50 km) to 600 miles (1,000 km) above the Earth's surface. Dr. Bernard Eastlund is the scientist who is most linked with the creation of the HAARP project. For more details about Dr. Eastlund's creation, click here.

A Look on the Negative Side

         Although its aim is to enhance life, HAARP still don't pass the eyes of many scientists who state that purposefully disturbing this sensitive layer could have major and even disastrous consequences. Based on the findings of Dr. Michel Chossudovsky of the University of Ottawa and Alaska's Dr. Nick Begich, these disturbances can even be used to create earthquakes, affect hurricanes, and manipulate weather.

     Despite being academic in nature, HAARP's political side is much being questioned. Many scientists claim that this is a possible warfare weapon because of its aim to enhance communications and surveillance systems. On 1987, a patent issued to Dr. Eastlund contradicts the claim that HAARP is exclusively for research only and not for any other purposes.(Burks, 2013)

HAARP Documentaries

Documentaries have also been made regarding the inner workings of HAARP: one is a 15-minute documentary by Canada's public broadcasting network CBC and the other by the History Channel.(Burks, 2013)
