The Weather-Makers

Every time there's some kind of a catastrophe related to earthquakes and the weather, some people are quick to shout HAARP. But exactly is it and what does it stand for? Are you ready to go down the rabbit hole?

HAARP is the subject of many conspiracy theories. It stands for High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. This monstrosity is located in Gakona, Alaska, and you probably wouldn't want it in your back yard. Zoom into this Google Map and be horrified.

According to a very formal Wikipedia article it is:
an ionospheric research program jointly funded by the US Air Force, the US Navy, the University of Alaska and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).Its purpose is to analyze the ionosphere and investigate the potential for developing ionospheric enhancement technology for radio communications and surveillance purposes (such as missile detection).
 
The most outstanding instrument at the HAARP Station is the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), a high power transmitter facility operating in the high frequency range. The IRI is used to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere. Other instruments, such as a VHF and a UHF radar, a fluxgate magnetometer, a digisonde and an induction magnetometer, are used to study the physical processes that occur in the excited region.

If that sounds like gibberish, you're not alone. In summary, HAARP uses uses some extremely high frequencies to focus a powerful radio beam to specific locations in the Earth's ionosphere. It is no wonder why plenty of people associate it with strange events like the recent Norway Spiral and the 8.8 Earthquake in Chile.







Now there are plenty of people that will try to rebuff these radical ideas, but I myself would rather stay open minded.
