Russian Scholar Warns Of US Climate Change Weapon

According to Russian political scientist, and conspiracy aficionado Andrei Areshev the high heat, and poor crop yields of Russia, and other Central Asian countries may be the result of a climate weapon created by the US military. From the article: "... Areshev voiced suspicions about the High-Frequency Active Aural Research Program (HAARP), funded by the US Defense Department and the University of Alaska. HAARP, which has long been the target of conspiracy theorists, analyzes the ionosphere and seeks to develop technologies to improve radio communications, surveillance, and missile detection. Areshev writes, however, that its true aim is to create new weapons of mass destruction 'in order to destabilize environmental and agricultural systems in local countries.'"

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard

Seriously, even worse than this. But I guess that's what they get for flouridation, the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face.

They visited me once! But it was related to a scam at the DMV. Talk about intimidating. I knew I had done nothing wrong. But they made sure they exposed their guns (as if they would use them right?) and started their recorder as they said "you don't mind if we record this, do you?" Here's the rest of it from my point of view: playing my guitar outside waiting for a girl to show up (so I'm trying to look cool) and a black unmarked chevy caprice with no hubcaps rolls up with dark windows. 2 big dudes get out and walk over to me in suits and sun glasses. It's literally like something out of a movie! And you know how the rest goes...

If you think the US Government is a shadow as oppressive as Hussein was then you are seriously misinformed.

I don't think he said anything about the US Gov't being more oppressive than Saddam, just that we killed a lot more Iraqis than Saddam did.

Of course, when someone in America believes in a crazy theory we get an avalanche of posts excoriating the American educational system for producing such a person, American culture for being so anti-intellectual, American politics, etc., which we don't seem to get when any other countries' conspiracy theorists get mentioned.

We're not talking about a handful of conspiracy nuts, we're talking about the 45% of Republicans in the US who believe their president is an American citizen.

You have to admit, that's a pretty spectacular statistic of craziness. Now to be fair to our educational system, I don't believe it's their fault, as much as it is because our national media is very extreme and very one-sided. The old Soviets who ran Pravda would turn green in envy over the success of Clear Channel and outfits like Salem Radio Network, Eagle Publishing Group, etc. Who knew that there was such a correlation between people who listen to AM radio and people who are unable to think critically about what they hear?

Take a look and you will see that car bombs were the #2 cause of death.

Remind us all again, what was number 1?

We're Number One!

You cited the article, but did you read the rather lengthy sections titled "Undercounting" and "Systematic underreporting by U.S."?

The Iraqis and almost every other source available disagrees with your numbers.

[emphasis mine]

By "The Iraqis" are you referring to the Iraqi Health Ministry? The Iraqi Health Ministry of the government from before or after the 2008 elections? Before or after the 2010 elections? The Iraqi Health Ministry from the government that owes its existence to the US? Is that one of the "almost" every other source available you are pointing to from the Wikipedia article?

I bet you believe the Iraq War only has only cost $600 billion, too.
