I knew I had seen that name somewhere before -- he's been involved with a bunch of conspiracy theories and pseudoscience health scams. See the "miraculous" products he's hawking at http://www.earthpulse.com/src/productindex.asp#

Nick Begich Jr., the son of former U.S. Representative Nick Begich and brother of U.S. Senator Mark Begich, author of Angels Don't Play This HAARP, has claimed that HAARP could trigger earthquakes and turn the upper atmosphere into a giant lens so that "the sky would literally appear to burn", and maintains a website that claims HAARP is a mind control device.[33][35]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Frequency_Active_Auroral_Research_Program#Conspiracy_theories


ETA: Oh, I see how the whole report is about electromagnetic mind control, which was supposedly carried out successfully back in 1967. Whole post belongs in Pseudoscience Group.

That DOD report is about lasers, masers, etc. The original post is about CT woo. It doesn't add to the impression of competent authority that they were quick to refer to Nikola Tesla -- always a caution, if not a red flag outright -- but mispelled his name in the Table of Contents.

Oh, here's another one of those "experts": http://americanloons.blogspot.com/search?q=radin

OF COURSE Begich has his own entry: http://americanloons.blogspot.com/search?q=begich

Two out of four of their "expert" panel are tinfoil-hat, full-blown conspiracy theorists. If there's anything factual in that report, it should be treated as an anomaly.

technology that has or might be produced, but the history and intent of these projects and powers.

Even if that particular technology did not mature exactly as it was imagined the fact that people in power actuall would be interested in developing such a weapon is relevant.

By the way, Project Censored is made up of academics and is a peer reviewed journalism. There are few organizations in Journalism as qualified to create discussions about news and news manipulation.

Alabama USA) For those that love the truth, on this Bill of Rights Day 2015 check this "ancient" USAF publication out-I'd rather explore space not use it as another theater of WAR-but, hey, those PAPERCLIP NAZI's sure "influenced" policies as well as R&D, didn't they?

Some directed energy weapons have been operational since before Reagan's obsession with SS Maj. Werner von Braun's et.al. SDI.
The field testing included crimes against humanity. Truth.
