Once confined to fringe ideologues in the John Birch Society and 1990s militia movements, such concepts have experienced a renaissance among tea party activists leery of government. In a July 2012 Facebook message to an acquaintance, for example, Joshua Hakken made ominous reference to a U.S. atmospheric research station in Alaska ? called the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program ? that conspiracy theorists believe secretly controls the planet's weather. "If all hope is lost, head to the four corners in the Hopi reservations but stay the hell away from Denver International Airport," Hakken wrote, according to a Florida Department of Law Enforcement report. "They're using HAARP to detonate underground ICBMs throughout the Midwest." Fears of HAARP and "chemtrails" ? the airplane exhaust patterns the Hakkens highlighted in their Cuban asylum letter ? are common discussion topics on some tea party Web forums. Both made the Southern Poverty Law Center's 2010 list of the radical right's 10 most popular conspiracy theories." Or just another bat **** crazy far right winger LIKE Jawbone Scotty? |
