Dr. Nick Begich, co-author of Angels Don't Play This HAARP, reveals the scope of the military's High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program operating in remote Alaska. The jointly run Air Force and Navy project uses 48 antennas to focus concentrated radio energy into the ionosphere, with plans to scale up to 360 antennas and an effective radiated power of 100 billion watts. Begich explains how the system can lift sections of the ionosphere, communicate with submarines via extremely low frequency signals, and penetrate miles underground to detect hidden facilities.
Drawing from a 613-page internal planning memorandum that the program manager denied knowing about on Canadian television, Begich details military applications including over-the-horizon radar, satellite disruption, and ground-based Star Wars weapons capability. He connects decades of Yale University research by Jose Delgado showing that pulsed radio frequency can alter human behavior and brain chemistry, noting that HAARP operates within the same biologically active ELF range as human brainwaves.
The conversation turns to weather modification potential, with Begich explaining how ionospheric heating can redirect normal wind patterns across vast areas. With no biologists assigned to the project and no international treaties governing electromagnetic warfare, Art Bell and Begich question whether adequate safeguards exist for a technology whose full consequences remain unknown.
