Whenever a major natural disaster occurs, the term HAARP starts trending on social media again. It has happened after earthquakes, hurricanes, floods or forest fires. The recent earthquakes recorded in Venezuela have been no exception.
On platforms such as X, posts circulated claiming, without evidence, that the United States had used the HAARP project to trigger the quakes. Several specialised fact-checking outlets have debunked these claims and point out that there is no scientific evidence to support them.
