Theory Briefing
- A magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Colombia on Aug. 10, 2026, and HAARP accusations spread online almost immediately after.
- HAARP — a real U.S. ionospheric research facility in Alaska — is routinely blamed for earthquakes, hurricanes, and other disasters despite no evidence it can trigger them.
- The pattern shows how a dramatic natural event creates a ready audience for pre-existing conspiracy narratives that assign human control over random catastrophe.
- Blaming a foreign government's secret weapon reframes an uncontrollable tragedy as a deliberate act, which can feel more bearable than pure chance.
