UNIFIED CONSPIRACY THEORY:

In 1908, an alien spacecraft exploded at Tunguska, Russia;

The Roswell alien spacecraft was a rescue mission for the Tunguska crash, but it fell through a wormhole and crashed in the New Mexico desert 39 years later;

A piece of alien technology from the Roswell crash was discovered by a teenager named Elvis Presley;

Presley turned it over to the Nazi scientists of Operation Paperclip (Presley was placed in a government relocation program in Memphis, TN, where he promptly blew cover);

The Nazi scientists reverse-engineered the alien technology and developed the Internet, GMO’s, fracking and chemtrail technology, which in turn sucks our precious bodily fluids from the atmosphere and provides power for the HAARP array;

The HAARP array destroyed the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on the order of George W. Bush, who personally detonated them from his secret Skull and Bones man-cave beneath the campus of UT-Austin.

There, it all makes sense, Mulder and Scully were right, The Truth Is Out There, man!

The guy who wrote the article would be fired ... even from NPR.

WTH is a "14-ton Radar?" In re: "Tourists to the Radiation Zone" How many we talking about? 25 one year, 50 the next? Whoa! That's a 100% increase!

Meantime, lots of good documentaries on Wild Life in the Radiation Zone.

Hot Game

Check it out.

This is a Nut Job Conspiracy Ping Null and Void.

But, Chernobyl DOES mean Wormwood Right?

Just Saying....

[Zathras]

Kind of sounds like Russia’s ELF transmit/receive station to Submarines.
Used Chernobyl for cheap power to drive it till it blew up and contaminated the site.

Semi news articles like this explain why NewsWeak has been dying for a long time.

Given the way the Soviets operate, that would not surprise m in the least.

This is an incredibly meandering, stream-of-consciousness, poor spot of writing.

I walk away from the article completely dumbfounded as to the author's intended thesis.

But, it's Newsweek, so that is to be expected.

Odd piece from Alexander Nazaryan, a writer who is actually very good. Disjointed. No flow, which isn't much like him. I suspect the Newsweak editorial staff...

I don't buy the conspiracy theory for the same reason the author doesn't: the fact that something that big and ruinously expensive didn't work was nothing to get overly concerned with in the Soviet Union so long as it could be denied internationally. Covering that up with something that couldn't, would have been elephantine even by Cold War standards. There was that interesting tidbit about why the reactor containment was so light that makes a lot of sense - it was supposed to be. That, I didn't know.
