When The Army Owns The Weather - Chemtrails & HAARP
By Bob Fitrakis 2-13-2
Humans have long sought to control the weather. Early people
learned how to make fire and modify their micro-environments;
rain dances and other rituals to alleviate droughts are part of
our folklore. So news that the government is engaged in secret
experiments to control the weather should come as no surprise -
especially after a long history of "cloud seeding," "atom
splitting" and cloning revelations.
In fact, a vast majority of people would be shocked to learn that
this orphan of the cold war is still in practice. As the U.S. and
former Soviet Union spent trillions of dollars on their
militaries, their commitment to mutually assured destruction led
to extensive experimentation with the use of weather as a weapon.
In 1977, the Saturday Review cited a CIA report hinting that the
U.S. government already had the power to massively manipulate the
weather for war purposes.
As the Soviet Union disintegrated, a 1993 Isvestia article
suggested the U.S. might want to partner with the Russians in
peddling their top-secret technology to the world. Oleg Klugin,
a high-ranking KGB officer, bragged of his involvement in
geophysical weapons research to a London newspaper. The grid
patterns of jet chemtrails now spotted throughout the Western
world are likely the application of these technologies to new
military and civilian uses.
The military is not attempting to hide its long-term goals.
"Weather is a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025" is
a white paper that can be found on a Pentagon-sponsored website.
The paper's abstract reads: "In 2025, U.S. aerospace forces can
'own the weather' by capitalizing on emerging technologies and
focusing development of those technologies towards fighting
applications. Such a capability offers the war fighters tools
to shape the battle space in ways never before possible In the
U.S., weather modification will likely become a part of national
security policy with both domestic and international
applications."
Wired magazine wrote about the paper and extensively quoted
physicist Bernard Eastlund in its January 2000 article "Activate
Cloud Shield! Zap a Twister!" The article detailed the military's
plan for "made-to-order thunderstorms" and "lightning strikes on
demand."
Eastlund managed programs for Controlled Thermal Nuclear Research
for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission from 1966 to 1974; he was a
key researcher in the 1980s' Strategic Space Initiative (aka Star
Wars). Since 1996, Eastlund served as CEO and president of
Eastlund Scientific Enterprises Corporation. The company boasts
on its website that it specializes in "weather modification" and
"tornado modification" among other high-tech services.
Eastlund considers the High Frequency Active Auroral Research
Program (HAARP) in Alaska a smaller version of what he envisions
for weather modification. In response to Michael Theroux of
Borderland Sciences -- who asked Eastlund whether the HAARP
station could affect the weather -- Eastlund replied:
"Significant experiments could be performed The HAARP antenna as
is it now configured modulates the auroral electrojet to induce
ELF waves and thus could have an effect on the zonal winds."
At the Space 2000 Conference and Exposition on Engineering,
Construction, Operations and Business in Space, sponsored by the
American Society of Civil Engineers, Eastlund outlined his plan
for zapping tornados with an electromagnetic radiation beam from
the proposed Thunderstorm Solar Powered Satellite he's developing
with the help of the European Space Agency and Jenkins
Enterprises.
U.S. patent number 6315213, filed on November 13, is described
as a method of modifying weather and should concern the public.
A scientist from Wright Patterson Air Force Base acknowledges
that planes are spraying barium salt, polymer fibers, aluminum
oxide and other chemicals in the atmosphere to both modify the
weather and for military communications purposes. The patent
abstract specifically states: "The polymer is dispersed into the
cloud and the wind of the storm agitates the mixture causing the
polymer to absorb the rain. This reaction forms a gelatinous
substance which precipitate to the surface below. Thus,
diminishing the cloud's ability to rain."
Answering the age-old question, Who'll stop the rain?:
Apparently our government and a few of their closest friends in
the military industrial-complex. The emergence of Edward Teller
promoting this startling technology is more than scary. (Teller
was the father of the H-Bomb and grand promoter of Readi
Kilowatt, our perky little radiation friend from the '50s; one
of his bright ideas from the '50s was to create harbors by
nuking our own coastline.) The April 24 New York Times reported
that Teller "has promoted the idea of manipulating the Earth's
atmosphere to counteract global warming." The computer
simulations on the use of aluminum oxide to counter global
warming come from the Lawrence Livermore Weapons Laboratory,
where Teller serves as director emeritus.
There should be little doubt that this would be a priority for
the government -- or for for-profit military contractors. While
2001 was the second-hottest year on record (1998 holds the
record as the hottest year), the nine hottest years on record
have occurred since 1990. But why would the government conduct
anti-global warming experiments in secret?
Investigative reporter William Thomas holds that there's a link
between the recent increase in asthma, allergies and upper
respiratory ailments and the chemtrail spraying. Sound crazy?
Remember, it sounded absurd when reports first came out that
the government had conducted radioactivity experiments on U.S.
citizens and released radiation from nuclear plants to test the
effect on civilian populations. It sounded bizarre when news
first filtered out that the government was engaged in the MK-
Ultra mind-control experiments using LSD. The CIA and Defense
Intelligence Agency admit they were responsible for many of the
UFO sightings in the 1950s in order the explain away experimental
military technology.
From public documents to mainstream news accounts, the record
is filled with reports of weather-modifying technology left over
from the Cold War. Now we have a right to know what, if anything,
the government plans to do with it.
