Art Bell is joined by Dr. Nick Begich to discuss Project HAARP, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program based in remote Gakona, Alaska. Begich, co-author of "Angels Don't Play This HAARP," explains how the phased array antenna system focuses unprecedented amounts of radio frequency energy into the ionosphere, with the developmental prototype rated at one billion watts and plans for up to one hundred billion.
Begich details the military applications hidden behind public research claims, including the ability to block global communications, manipulate weather patterns by punching holes in the ionosphere, conduct earth-penetrating tomography, destroy low-orbit satellites through atmospheric drag, and potentially disable enemy forces through behavioral manipulation using extremely low frequency signals. He cites Secretary of Defense William Cohen acknowledging that electromagnetic weapons can alter climate and trigger earthquakes remotely.
Art and Begich discuss the biological risks of ELF radiation that matches human brainwave frequencies, the project's new fiber optic link for remote operation, and how military officials have repeatedly misled legislators about the facility's true capabilities. Begich also describes the European Parliament's growing interest in investigating the project.
