"(HAARP) should be carefully studied by large groups of independent scientists..."
Dr. Patrick Flanagan
Chapter Three
WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE?
Nick Begich can't be categorized by his long ponytail and youthful
appearance; he started his first business in 1974 at the age of 16 and has worked in
mining, construction, real estate and, more recently, a mid-level managerial job in
the Anchorage School District.
Service in Alaskan politics and labor union organizing brought him public
service awards, a couple of appointments to the Alaska Council for Economic
Education and two terms as president of the Alaska Federation of Teachers (AFT).
But it was his longtime interest in science that earned Begich the informal title
of "evolving eclectic".
His life took another turn when he happened to be thumbing through the
April 1994 issue of an Australian magazine that Patrick Flanagan suggested he check
out, when the name of Nick's hometown newspaper caught his eye. "Odd that Nexus
would print an item from the Anchorage Daily News," he commented to his wife
Shelah.
The contents of the news brief startled them - the federal government was
about to introduce some weird technology right in their backyard, figuratively
speaking. Nick copied the reference and headed to the Anchorage municipal library to
search out the original story, a November 20, 1994 letter to Anchorage Daily News
from Eric Nashlund. It told about a military-funded project called HAARP -
High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program - intended to "perturb" the
ionosphere for Department of Defense experiments.
Nashlund's letter said:
"Some startling revelations came to light while researching the background
of a military-sponsored project starting construction in Gakona...HAARP will be used
to understand, stimulate and control ionospheric processes that might alter the
performance of communications and surveillance systems, according to a HAARP fact
sheet. The HAARP environmental impact statement claims negligible ionospheric
impact, with no impact to climate, weather or ozone layer.
"An ARCO company has the bid for construction of HAARP: ARCO Power
Technologies Inc. APTI holds a patent (# 4,686,605, "Method and Apparatus for
Altering a Region in the Earth's Atmosphere, Ionosphere, and/or Magnetosphere",
inventor: Bernard J. Eastlund; assignee: APTI Inc., Los Angeles) which matches closely
the HAARP proposal dealing with transmitting extremely large amounts of
