What did you think of todays' episode?

But have you heard about HAARP? Matt and I now have.
The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP, is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere. "The ionosphere stretches roughly 50 to 400 miles above Earth's surface, right at the edge of space. Along with the neutral upper atmosphere, the ionosphere forms the boundary between Earth's lower atmosphere — where we live and breathe — and the vacuum of space." Sounds super cool and full of science? Yeah, and apparently that scares people into thinking the worst out of a machine and program that was a love child of U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA.) Well, HAARP is known to not let people tour, unlike many other government funded research, and if you've gone to their actual website...very vague. If you're surprised that conspiracy theories can come from this, you haven't been listening to enough BHYHA conspiracy theory episodes.

While the main focus is radio waves, the conspiracy theories that come from government and science combined is out there. Nick Begich Jr., the son of the late U.S. Representative and brother of former U.S. Senator and basically a well known name in Alaska, really spread rumors and theories that included how HAARP controls the weather AND is a mind control device. Whaaaaaat? Yeah, crazy shenanigans. Make sure to tune in to learn which slightly famous former governor also believe HAARP isn't all it's cracked up to be.
