When The Army Owns The Weather - Chemtrails & HAARP
By Bob Fitrakis
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.
