EXCLUSIVE: GOP Candidate Profits off of Mind Control, Weather Control Publishing Empire
Up next: Jewish space lasers?
Like father, like son? A Republican running for Congress in Alaska owns a large stake in his father’s publishing empire that is best known for publishing tomes on mind control conspiracy theories.
Nick Begich Jr. isn’t running for Congress–his son, Nick Begich III, is. However, the elder Begich’s decades of promoting mind control conspiracy theories that a research outpost in Alaska can control minds, cause earthquakes, and turn miles of the upper atmosphere into a giant lens so that “the sky would literally appear to burn” has enriched his son and could cause problems for the GOP this November in a must-win election.
The younger Begich is running to flip Alaska’s sole House seat from blue to red, which he tried and failed to do last cycle, when he split much of the GOP vote with ex-Gov. Sarah Palin, allowing Democrat Mary Peltola to win thanks to the state’s embrace of the legally-questionable ranked choice voting system on a federal level. From the onset, he self-funded much of his 2022 campaign; he is flush with cash in part due to his 17 percent stake in Earthpulse Press Inc., a company that publishes his father’s books on mind control.
Begich is also listed as a director, secretary, and treasurer of Earthpulse Press, Inc. on his financial disclosures from earlier this year. He netted up to $100,000 in annual income from his interest in the company. According to public records, the company’s agent is Begich’s father, Nick Begich Jr.
Earthpulse Press, Inc. has published Begich Jr.’s books on High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), a research outpost in Gakona, Alaska that studies the ionosphere. But because it sounds mysterious, it’s been featured in Tom Clancy novels, X-Men, and Begich’s writings. Despite HAARP’s high-profile cameos, “no man has done more to propagate the conspiratorial view of HAARP than Nick Begich,” Vice reported in 2017.
In one of Begich’s books, cleverly titled Angels Don’t Play this HAARP, he wrote that the research facility can use its powerful electromagnetic waves to incite “mental disruption throughout a region.” Since that book’s publication in the 1990s, Begich has said that he’s earned over $1 million from it.
In a follow up book, Begich doubled down on the belief that HAARP’s technology “is designed to manipulate the environment in a number of ways that can jam all global communications, disrupt weather systems, interfere with migration patterns, disrupt human mental processes, negatively affect your health and disrupt the upper atmosphere.”
These books, and others on similar conspiratorial concepts, are published by Earthpulse Press Inc. While many of the conspiracies they promulgate dominate secretive regions of the internet, they can lead to real-world consequences. In 2016, two men were arrested for plotting to “hijack guards at HAARP and blow up a machine there that was ‘trapping human souls.’”
Where you have conspiracies about weather control and mind control, antisemitic ones usually follow. A now-archived post on Begich Jr.’s site, reported by Alaska Landmine during his 2022 campaign, claimed that “HAARP is part of the weapons arsenal of the New World Order under the Strategic Defense Initiative.”
It’s a fine line between this and Jewish space lasers.
Despite Begich III’s financial reasons to promulgate HAARP-related conspiracies wherever possible, his campaign website is fairly standard–and makes no mention of mind control or weather control…or even of space lasers.
