Weather Modification

Here's something most people don't know about: human beings can modify the weather!
And how! You may have heard about the Chinese seeding clouds to make it rain on days when the olympics weren't going on. But the US government's been trying to do this too, obviously.

Here's an example. And check this out! Click on the PDF of volume 3, chapter 15:
"owning the weather in 2025." Here's the summary:

"In 2025, US aerospace forces can “own the weather” by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war-fighting applications. Such a capability offers the war fighter tools to shape the battlespace in ways never before possible. It provides opportunities to impact operations across the full spectrum of conflict and is pertinent to all possible futures. The purpose of this paper is to outline a strategy for the use of a future weather-modification system to achieve military objectives rather than to provide a detailed technical road map. A high-risk, high-reward endeavor, weather-modification offers a dilemma not unlike the splitting of the atom. While some segments of society will always be reluctant to examine controversial issues such as weather-modification, the tremendous military capabilities that could result from this field are ignored at our own peril. From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small-scale tailoring of natural weather patterns to complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control, weather-modification offers the war fighter a wide-range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary. Some of the potential capabilities a weather-modification system could provide to a war-fighting
commander in chief (CINC) are listed in table 1. Technology advancements in five major areas are necessary for an integrated weather-modification capability:
(1) advanced nonlinear modeling techniques,
(2) computational capability,
(3) information gathering and transmission,
(4) a global sensor array, and
(5) weather intervention techniques.

Some intervention tools exist today and others may be developed and refined in the future."

They're talking about manipulating the weather so that it rains the way they want, storms
happen the way they want... one of the strategies suggested is to induce drought and deprive the enemy of water. This is madness, obviously! Reckless experimentation with global weather is already taking place. Anybody who doesn't know should do some research into HAARP, which is a facility up in Alaska where they have a huge high frequency transmitter waiting to stimulate the ionosphere. People go crazy thinking about what this thing might be for, here's one of the many youtube videos about it. What we're told is that they want to send tons of charges into the ionosphere just to "see what will happen" and this is going to make our communication and surveillance better.

This weather issue is just one more case of more and more crazy power being centralized into
"the government's" hands. Who gets to decide whom to survey? Who decides how to use all this crazy technology? There is no public oversight of these programs whatsoever, no accountability. This is the government that brought you the Deepwater Horizon disaster, the Missouri flooding, and the response to Hurricane Katrina. Do you really want it engineering weather and messing with the ionosphere?
