Comments by "Hallands Menved" (@Hallands.) on "Why is Project HAARP so controversial?" video.

  1. Well, until 2015 it was the US Air Force who footed the bill for HAARP and had DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and the Navy as customers. In 2015 the Air Force told congress that they intended to dismantle the facility in Alaska as soon as DARPA finished the series of experiments (the word used) they were running at the time. But since the results had been reported as »good" from all branches and the facility had been expensive and was still front line science, the Air Force was asked to look into the possibility of handing over the facility to someone else, either commercial or military, and the Air Force returned a year later with the answer that they’d been unable to find any takers. This led to a hearing where congress posed questions to the chiefs of all the military sections who had used the facility. The public story was that the prime objective had been to find ways to make radio-communication more robust against the electromagnetic background noise from thunderstorms and the solar wind, and the Air Force said that this had been achieved – without indicating in the slightest in what way and how it would be implemented… But the answer from DARPA made me sit up: They stated that they had researched possibilities of »controlling the weather« (not the impact of weather on communications) and that they also had been successful! This statement seems to confirm what conspiracy theoretics had been griping about all along. But as the uploader explains so well, the energy requirement would be ginormous...
