You know for years Israel has engaged in weaather modification - now you read about this stuff in the Red Chinese papers but not is USA for the Zionist Press and etc, etc, etc, have caused this program to become "classified" and only the KGB, Mossad, etc, are allowed to be given this information - no doubt because secrets are not sold like baby body parts, for huge profits and diamonds? Note this Climate agreement - now this is the weather modificaton program agreement - things have been hotter than hell and dry in Israel lately and cold as hell in Siberia as things normalize...... MIR is gone.....maybe we better keep a watch on he skies - but then the thief Clinton is gone, this traitor who sold secrets she stole to Chinese? So check out this stuff re Climate - for in the UN all the theft is accomplished.....this UN Secretary and his $1,200 suits....he is still a bum......they are murdering Africa. And they are murdering the arabs to get the oil.
