Government COVER UPS Hidden From The Public!
- 6 years ago
Check out these coverups by the government that were hidden from the people! From secrets of mind control and mysterious scandals to aliens and conspiracy theories, these cover ups are absolutely crazy!
12. HAARP
HAARP, or High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, was an ionospheric research facility in Alaska. The ionosphere is a portion of the upper atmosphere. The Air Force, the Navy, the University of Alaska, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency funded the facility. Why were all these people interested in the ionosphere? Because it plays a role in transmitting radio signals.
Despite this very reasonable purpose, conspiracy theories have circulated around the facility for years. It is a believed to be a center of study to control the weather. It was eventually closed by the Air Force. Many consider it to be one of the most widely contested government cover-ups in history.
People have accused HAARP of causing storms, floods, droughts and earthquakes. In 2010, Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez infamously accused HAARP of being responsible for the Haiti earthquake. Others have called it a secret military weapon or think that it’s been used to trigger major power outages. With the facility now closed, however, it’s doubtful that we’ll ever learn the truth. If it really is closed...
11. The Majestic Twelve
UFO’s anyone? Under the code name the Majestic Twelve, a supposed secret committee of 12 scientists, military leaders, and government officials recovered and investigated downed alien aircraft. Rumor is they were part of the Roswell New Mexico cover-up and was initially formed by President Truman in 1947.
The existence of the Majestic Twelve came to light in the mid-1980s when a Ufologist received an envelope containing pictures of eight pages of documents. The documents appeared to be a briefing describing “Operation Majestic Twelve”. The government has repeatedly denied the existence of the Majestic Twelve. The FBI has also repeatedly debunked the documents, even going as far as to write “BOGUS” over the files and show them, without redaction, on their website.
10. The Siege at Waco
For 51 days, federal agents laid siege on the Branch Davidian compound outside Waco, Texas. It ended with the compound going up in flames and with 80 people.
Founded in 1959, the Branch Davidians were an offshoot of the Davidian Seventh-Day Adventist Church. The Branch Davidians lived a simple life while preparing for the imminent Second Coming of Christ. However, in the mid-1980s, a man named David Koresh took over and turned the group in a different direction. He took several “spiritual wives”, some as young as 11 years old. Koresh’s retail gun business and allegations attracted the attention of the authorities.
The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, or ATF, obtained an arrest warrant for Koresh and a search warrant for the compound. When 70 ATF agents raided the complex, gunfire erupted and the standoff began.
