Op het schip in de video is een HAARP installatie te zien.
Publisher’s rating: Nee. Het schip is een drijvende energiecentrale van het bedrijf Karpowership. De installatie wekt energie op, en kan het weer niet manipuleren. Dat de onderzoeksinstallatie HAARP dat wel zou kunnen, is een al lang ontkrachtte complottheorie.
The video identifies the ship as the Karadeniz Powership Osman Khan, part of Karpowership’s fleet of mobile power plants. The review says the vessel generates electricity and that HAARP research in Alaska does not manipulate weather.
