Military Weather Control No Longer Just a Conspiracy



A couple months ago, this just sounded like the paranoid ravings of conspiracy theorists. Now it’s one of the top headlines on Yahoo’s science newsfeed: U.S. Military Wants to Own the Weather.

The one-two hurricane punch from Katrina and Wilma along with predictions of more severe weather in the future has scientists pondering ways to save lives, protect property and possibly even control the weather.

While efforts to tame storms have so far been clouded by failure, some researchers aren’t willing to give up the fight. And even if changing the weather proves overly challenging, residents and disaster officials can do a better job planning and reacting.

In fact, military officials and weather modification experts could be on the verge of joining forces to better gauge, react to, and possibly nullify future hostile forces churned out by Mother Nature.

While some consider the idea farfetched, some military tacticians have already pondered ways to turn weather into a weapon.

And it only gets better and more sci-fi sounding:

What would a military strategist gain in having an “on-switch” to the weather?

Clearly, it offers the ability to degrade the effectiveness of enemy forces. That could come from flooding an opponent’s encampment or airfield to generating downright downpours that disrupt enemy troop comfort levels. On the flipside, sparking a drought that cuts off fresh water can stir up morale problems for warfighting foes.

Even fooling around with fog and clouds can deny or create concealment – whichever weather manipulation does the needed job.

In this regard, nanotechnology could be utilized to create clouds of tiny smart particles. Atmospherically buoyant, these ultra-small computer particles could navigate themselves to block optical sensors. Alternatively, they might be used to provide an atmospheric electrical potential difference — a way to precisely aim and time lightning strikes over the enemy’s head – thereby concoct thunderbolts on demand.

(They even mention HAARP by name and something called Project Stormfury - what is this, a comic book? Sheesh!)

I’m of the mind that by the time the military is ready to actually talk about these kinds of projects publicly, this means they’ve already been tinkering around with it behind the scenes for years. Does this mean that I think they intentionally engineered the hurricanes, tsunamis or anything else? I personally find such theories rather doubtful - but I guess less and less so with every piece of “legitimate” news I hear on the subject of weather modification.

    Nanotechnology is just too fucking frighteningly awesome. :)

    Heh. One of my favorite topics is technological advances that cross from the realm of lunacy to that of legitimate news.

    It is said that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Well this is a prime example. Has anyone here read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell? I highly recommend it. Anyway, I’m reminded of a scene in which the magician Strange has been hired by the British crown to fight off Napoleon’s forces. One of the first things he does is whip up a storm off the Brittany coast, complete with ghost “ships” made out of water vapor.

    Nanotechnology is just too fucking frighteningly awesome.

    What Ant said. Except I’ll stop at “fucking frightening.”

    “…by the time the military is ready to actually talk about these kinds of projects publicly, this means they’ve already been tinkering around with it behind the scenes for years.”

    They stopped officially tinkering with it in the late ’60s, but that didn’t stop the research. But it was never a secret that the military flirted with weather control as a war method. They “ended” the official research by stating it was too variable and chaotic at that point. But like remote viewing, over the years it has been leaked slowly into the public consciousness until at last there is some verifiable proof.

    But nobody apologizes to CT nuts because that would be giving them too much credit for something no one wanted to entertain.

    You know what’s weird? It seems like most of these weird areas of research were “officially” ended in either the sixties or seventies. Of course they continued, but why was that the cut-off point for public acknowledgement of most of it?

    because to a certain degree back then the public was actually fed up with governement bullshit……

    and they (the infamous they!) were still learning how to cope with media & technology, propaganda & covert ops….

    also, they (them again!) probably started making alot more money off drugs, and could fund black ops off the books easier…

    i dunno, perhaps :)

    That explanation makes the most sense to me.
