gov't has secret project that causes certain dangers that the public can not stomach in the name of "defense purposes" and since the gov't
can always be trusted than we should expect the gov't to publish proof saying the technology we created is very dangerous it can do unspeakable
things which we really dont want to use it for
No, no, 'unspeakable things' for defense purposes, that's another project entirely.
The only reason HAARP side-projects are unspeakable is that they're either restricted or classified. But most of them are pretty boring, with the
occasional few bits of "hey, I didn't know you could do THAT!" tossed in. None of them really qualify for Creature Feature reruns though, no mind
control, melting people in mid-stride or any of that.
Would you feel better if I told you that some of the tested-out stuff is going spaceborne, and isn't a research topic at the Gakona facility anymore?
At least two "secondary functions" are good-to-go and have been run from an STS as a demo, and while I haven't looked up the project numbers in the
funding directory lately, I'm pretty sure the sat based stuff has gone aloft by now, the project kickoffs for both were in 1999.
