We're taking it a bit easy this week and talking about the magical superweapon that will or already has destroyed the world and taken over your mind. And created every single weather event that has occurred since it was built in the early 90's. That's right we're talking about HAARP, or the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Project, a big spooky machine in Alaska that has been a mainstay of conspiracy theories for its entire lifespan. But are those conspiracy theories justified? Well, maybe. Just not necessarily in the way most people might think. And while it certainly isn't the reason Jesse Ventura can't sleep at night, it does have a fairly shady history and has certainly been involved in top-secret military projects.
