586: Weather Weapons & Worse | Tesla's S...

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
About this episode
In the Alaskan wilderness stands an array of 180 antennas pointing skyward. The military calls it research, but declassified patents tell a different story.

What began as Nikola Tesla's dream of free energy for humanity may have become the world's most powerful weapon.

When Tesla died in 1943, the government seized his research. Decades later, an expensive, top-secret facility appeared in Alaska with technology suspiciously similar to Tesla's designs.

From weather modification to earthquake triggers and even mind control, Tesla's technology has sparked a new arms race in the sky above us.

What makes this facility concerning isn't what we know—it's what remains classified.
