Haarp Alaska Conspiracy Theories by Jesse Ventura

New York- HAARP refers to the “High-Frequency Active Auroal Research Program”. It is located at approximately 62.39N, 145.15W near the town of Gakona, Alaska. HAARP project is funded by the US Senate and opperated by the US Navy & AirForce.

Jesse Ventura is hosting a program at TV stardom, that digs into conspiracy theories, including alternate views of what was behind the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the purpose of a sprawling research center in remote Alaska. Therefore, Jesse Ventura and his team head north to the remote region of Alaska to confront the military installation, HAARP.

What is HAARP?

HAARP consists of phased array. Only partially finished the entire array will consist of 180 antennas and will be more power full than all other antenna array for ionosphere heating ever built. Ionosphere heaters simply use radio waves to heat a portion of the ionosphere which surrounds the earth, many already exist, but this is the largest ever.

Purpose of HAARP

The purpose of HAARP is to analyze the behavior of the ionosphere which is the part of the atmosphere that extends from approximately 70km up to as much as 1500km. This is done by transmitting a focused beam of radio frequency energy, at between 2.8 and 10MHz, directly at a point in the ionosphere between 100 and 350 km in altitude, basically within the “E” layer.

What Can HAARP do?

72,000 times more powerfull than the U.S’s most powerfull radio station. HAARP can focus all its radio waves into a single beam in the sky, which effectively exceeds its 3.6 Million watt power status. With this enormous power, the possibilites for use of HAARP are endless. Of course activists ,conspiricists, and enviromentalists all have different ideas for applications of this weapon / utility, both good and bad.

THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES

The conspiracy theories related to HAARP is pretty much same with the entire spectrum of the imagination of conspiracy theorists.

Earthquakes: It is assumed that HAARP has the capability to cause earthquakes at practically any point on earth. The reason behind is HAARP modifies the ionosphere and, consequently, modifies the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere is said to play a vital to the stability of the tectonic plates that float on the surface of the earth. A connection between HAARP and earthquakes is not scientifically proved yet, so far it’s only speculation.

Missile Tracking: Jerry E. Smith has written conspiracy books about HAARP which suggest that besides being a research facility, HAARP is now a full-fledged missile tracking system. He believes that HAARP can aim its radio frequency beam at will and that it is in violation of several treaties.

Missile Defense: The webmaster of RadarMatrix site suggests that HAARP is actually the Strategic Defense Initiative and is capable of destroying incoming missiles. There is simply nothing to support this claim and the suggestion that civilian scientists would be present and operating the HAARP facility seems improbable.

Weather Control: Like RadarMatrix, many sites belief that HAARP can control the weather. Again, there is no no scientific or logical reason to support this. HAARP does its work in the 100km-350km altitude range within the E and F levels of the ionosphere while all weather occurs in the troposphere which only extends up to about 14-18km.

Mind Control: There are some people who believe that HAARP can actually offer some kind of mind control or “mood” control. Jerry E. Smith has discussed this theory in his HAARP book. Certain extremely low frequency (6-11 Hertz) waves can cause a person to feel good or depressed. According to some believer of HAARP mind control, HAARP not only operates at these frequencies (rather than the 2,700,000 - 10,000,000 Hertz it is known to operate at), but also can do it remotely.

THE HYPE

There are many websites talking about HAARP and its enormous power and hence came to some illogical conclusions. Some of those incorrect information is:

1. Power of HAARP in Billions of Watts: Sites such claim that HAARP is capable of transmitting a billion watts and eventually will be able to transmit 4.7 billion watts, while the transmission power of HAARP is limited to 3.6 million watts.

2. HAARP has Ground-Penetrating Capabilities: This is also a vague concept.

There doesn’t seem to be any convincing evidence, that HAARP can cause earthquakes, control the weather, detect missiles, destroy missiles, or engage in mind control. These theories appear to be vague speculation from conspiracy theorists that cite each other as sources and, thus, build theories that have no factual basis. May be in future some theories will be proved having realistic value, until then you have to grasp more such speculations.
