So, I heard several people now mention HAARP as the cause for all the natural disasters that have been happening lately. And here I thought the cause was rampant pollution and global warming!
But seriously, I’m looking at the HAARP page on wikipedia and it seems to be an array for studying the ionosphere? How in the hell do you go from “we’re using this to see what’s happening way up there in the sky” to “this causes tornadoes”? Who even started this garbage?

Possibly the same as the 5G people. Due to the frequency used by HAARP, it can be received all around the world. (They published the times of planed transmissions, so if you have a shortwave radio, you can listen in)
As conspiracy theory bullshit goes, this is a true classic - almost up there with the Moon landing. Some Infowars-regurgitating twat was spamming about HAARP on an IRC channel I was on like 15+ years ago.

a good starting point is The Paranoid Style in American Politics, by Richard Hofstadter
That’s some old school before Qanon conspiracy brainworms. Made up by people who don’t understand basic science and think the earth is 6000 years old.
I just hope they stick to that and don’t adopt the new conspiracies like Qanon to be honest.
