Author’s Introductory Note
Environmental modification techniques (ENMOD) for military use constitute, in the present context of global warfare, the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.
Rarely acknowledged in the debate on global climate change, the world’s weather can now be modified as part of a new generation of sophisticated electromagnetic weapons. Both the US and Russia have developed capabilities to manipulate the climate for military use.
Environmental modification techniques have been applied by the US military for more than half a century. US mathematician John von Neumann, in liaison with the US Department of Defense, started his research on weather modification in the late 1940s at the height of the Cold War and foresaw ‘forms of climatic warfare as yet unimagined’. During the Vietnam war, cloud-seeding techniques were used, starting in 1967 under Project Popeye, the objective of which was to prolong the monsoon season and block enemy supply routes along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
The US military has developed advanced capabilities that enable it selectively to alter weather patterns. The technology, which was initially developed in the 1990s under the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), was an appendage of the Strategic Defense Initiative – ‘Star Wars’. From a military standpoint, HAARP –which was officially abolished in 2014– is a weapon of mass destruction, operating from the outer atmosphere and capable of destabilising agricultural and ecological systems around the world.
Officially, the HAARP program has been closed down at its location in Alaska. The technology of weather modification shrouded in secrecy, nonetheless prevails.
Weather-modification, according to the US Air Force document AF 2025 Final Report, “offers the war fighter a wide range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary”, capabilities, it says, extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes:
‘Weather modification will become a part of domestic and international security and could be done unilaterally… It could have offensive and defensive applications and even be used for deterrence purposes. The ability to generate precipitation, fog and storms on earth or to modify space weather… and the production of artificial weather all are a part of an integrated set of [military] technologies.”
In 1977, an international Convention was ratified by the UN General Assembly which banned ‘military or other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects.’ According to the Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques:
The term “environmental modification techniques” refers to any technique for changing – through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes – the dynamics, composition or structure of the Earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, or of outer space. (Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques, United Nations, Geneva: 18 May 1977)
While the substance of the 1977 Convention was reasserted in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) signed at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, debate on weather modification for military use has become a scientific taboo.
Military analysts and scientists are mute on the subject. Meteorologists are not investigating the matter and environmentalists are largely focussing on greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto Protocol. The possibility of climatic or environmental manipulations as part of a military and intelligence agenda, while tacitly acknowledged, is not part of the broader debate on climate change under UN auspices.
While discussion of the post Cold War military applications of weather warfare is a taboo, the US Air Force has nonetheless acknowledged the strategic importance of ENMOD techniques in the modern battlefield of non-conventional warfare and intel ops, including the conduct, without the enemy’s knowledge, of “covert” weather modification operations.
While the US Force acknowledges that ENMOD weapons are part of military arsenal, there is no formal proof or evidence that ENMOD techniques have been used by US military against a foreign country or enemy of the US.
At this juncture in our history, US-NATO forces are deployed worldwide.
The US and its allies are waging war on Syria and Iraq and targeting Iran and North Korea. They are also threatening Russia and China.
The Pentagon has formulated the contours of a global military agenda, a “long war”, a war without borders.
“Weather warfare” is the ultimate WMD with the potential of destabilizing an enemy’s ecosystem, destroying its agriculture, disabling communications networks. In other words, ENMOD techniques can undermine an entire national economy, impoverish millions of people and “kill a nation” without the deployment of troops and military hardware.
The following text, with the exception of some small edits was first published in September 2004.
The 2004 article was a follow-up on an earlier study by the author entitled Washington’s New World Order Weapons Have the Ability to Trigger Climate Change, Third World Resurgence, January 2001, http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO201A.html
While The Ecologist published in 2007 a shorter version of the above study, the issue of climatic manipulation for military use has largely been ignored by Environmentalists.
The URL of the original article is:
http://globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO409F.html.
This essay is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Rosalie Bertell, who, from the very outset revealed the diabolical nature of the HAARP project, as part of an integrated non-conventional weapons program:
“It is related to fifty years of intensive and increasingly destructive programs to understand and control the upper atmosphere. … HAARP is an integral part of a long history of space research and development of a deliberate military nature. The military implications of combining these projects is alarming. … The ability of the HAARP / Spacelab/ rocket combination to deliver very large amounts of energy, comparable to a nuclear bomb, anywhere on earth via laser and particle beams, are frightening. The project is likely to be “sold” to the public as a space shield against incoming weapons, or, for the more gullible, a device for repairing the ozone layer.“
It is my sincere hope that this article will renew the debate on the dangers of weather warfare and will contribute to the broader objective of World peace which requires the relentless “disarming” of the US- NATO military apparatus.
Officially, the HAARP program has been closed down at its location in Alaska. The technology of weather modification shrouded in secrecy, nonetheless prevails.

Weather Warfare
The significant expansion in America’s weather warfare arsenal, which is a priority of the Department of Defense is not a matter for debate or discussion. While, environmentalists blame the Bush administration for not having signed the Kyoto protocol, the issue of “weather warfare”, namely the manipulation of weather patterns for military use is never mentioned.
The US Air Force has the capability of manipulating climate either for testing purposes or for outright military-intelligence use. These capabilities extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes. In recent years, large amounts of money have been allocated by the US Department of Defense to further developing and perfecting these capabilities...

Hurricane Maria: 4th Manmade storm in 3 weeks
WeatherWar101
1 day ago
4 hurricanes in 3 weeks, with 3 more potentials coming off the conveyor belt, and not one meteorologist asks – “How is this possible?” How is it at all acceptable that every third day a new hurricane springs from nowhere, and the only explanation from the professionals (with unimaginable computer modeling and analysis capability) is “well, it’s hurricane season?” It’s just as ridiculous and meaningless as the only explanation for trillion-gallon floods or hail in Africa being” well, it’s because of Climate Change.” It’s insulting beyond imagination… they might as well say “Santa Claus did it.”
However, and as always, if you open your eyes and can understand boiling water, the reality couldn’t be any clearer. Anyone with eyes and a brain can see these individual sudden bursts of Rapid Evaporation erupting like mushroom clouds. Anyone with eyes and a brain can understand something would have to MAKE these bursts happen, and that this is NOT natural slow evaporation AT ALL.
Anyone with eyes and a brain can see that these individual bursts are timed and coordinated in circular groups, and that it is clearly intentional. These bursts that couldn’t happen ONCE in nature, surely aren’t “naturally” happening in exactly the same places – every three days.
Yet these meteorologists pretend they don’t see anything at all. Clearly there are only two logical possibilities for this: either they do not have eyes and a brain, of they are blatantly, constantly, and deliberately – lying to us. This isn’t rocket science, this is denying the existence of boiling water – right in front of them. This is akin to looking right at the combustion engine, and saying it doesn’t exist. It’s embarrassing, ridiculous, and insulting to the intelligence of any thinking being, yet they perpetrate this complicit fraud every single day – while smiling in our faces.
This of course, was the major impetus for creating this body of work to begin with. I was sick and tired – of being lied to. I was sick and tired, of there being NO factual information or explanation for the inexplicable, exponentially increasing bizarre and impossible weather events, while the so-called “professionals” keep blaming “mother nature.” Even just for my own sanity, I needed there to be ONE PLACE IN CYBERSPACE, people could go to and see PROOF and the TRUTH about daily manmade weather, instead of the endless lies and controlled opposition distractions. Creating that place, is what I have been doing, for the last ten years.
However, I obviously don’t have 37 billion dollars like the Weather Channel does to propagate their endless lies and disinformation. The only reason this repository of ten years of evidence exists, is because of sheer conviction and dedication to reality. I dearly need the support of my viewers who understand the magnitude and importance of this one true source, to help me continue and expand this vital work. If you value the ONLY resource for daily manmade whether reality, please support this singular work.

From NASA:
“During the test of the deployment system for the vapor clouds, four sub-payloads with mixtures of barium and strontium will be ejected from the main payload and the vapor will be deployed while the payload is descending. The test also will include the release of vapor from two systems on the main payload during the descent portion of the flight.
The ejected sub-payloads will release the vapor at about 130 miles above the Earth. The main payload releases will occur at an altitude around 118 miles.
The barium-strontium mixture produces a cloud with a mixture of blue-green and red color. The blue-green part is neutral, i.e. not charged. Strontium is used to enhance the visibility of the neutral flow.” [1]
NASA Takes Chemtrail Spraying Program To Outer Space

Waking Times – by Terrence Newton
Last week the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) successfully completed a experiment with a suborbital, or sounding, rocket aimed at testing out new technologies before integrating them into other projects. The suborbital flight on October 7th was launched from the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on the Eastern seaboard of the United States, testing a ‘modified Black Brant sounding rocket motor, launch vehicle and spacecraft systems and sub-payload ejection technologies.’ [1]
Interesting enough, but during the test they released a number of vapor clouds into the atmosphere, releasing a mixture of chemicals that are well-known to those who are closely examining the growing problem of geoengineering and chemtrails. The skies over this area were alight in strange celestial clouds colorized by high-altitude discharges of barium and strontium.
From NASA:
“During the test of the deployment system for the vapor clouds, four sub-payloads with mixtures of barium and strontium will be ejected from the main payload and the vapor will be deployed while the payload is descending. The test also will include the release of vapor from two systems on the main payload during the descent portion of the flight.

The barium-strontium mixture produces a cloud with a mixture of blue-green and red color. The blue-green part is neutral, i.e. not charged. Strontium is used to enhance the visibility of the neutral flow.” [1]
Barium and strontium, along with aluminum, are the 3 of the most commonly used chemical agents in atmospheric geongineering projects, which have been used by the US government in weather modification projects since the 1950’s.
This recent experiment proves once again that NASA and the US governments do in fact use atmospheric spraying of toxic cheicals for various research and experimentation purposes, although who really knows what they’re up to?
Take a look at this breakdown of the events by Dahboo7:

Recently other mysterious anomalies have been occurring in the skies around the planet including giant twin beams of light eminating from the earth. Additionally, a recent NASA feed of the ISS (International Space Station) was cut short when to massive pillars of light were seen, apparently directed toward the planet from the ISS.
Take a look at images from the feed, here:

If you’re not convinced that the government and their corporate partners are dumping toxic chemicals on us from above and using the planet and its inhabitants as guinea pigs to experiment on, then take a look at some of the present research into the matter, including this Congressional statement by Dr. Rosalind Peterson. The mainstream media is dong everything it can to ridicule and discredit independent researchers like Dane Wigginton of GeongineeringWatch.org, who is publicly linking the California drought and the massive die-off of trees and plants to chemtrail and geoengineering programs.
Behind the scenes, though, the government continues to spend our money on secretive projects and experimental technologies, and the health of our environment is degrading rapidly.

Chemtrails Exposed: A History of the New Manhattan Project
Peter A. Kirby
Activist Post
"Discoveries and inventions are not terminals; they are fresh starting points from which we can climb to new knowledge." - Dr. Willis R. Whitney, founder of General Electric Laboratories
After so many years of watching airplanes produce the lines in the sky, largely without knowing of what this Project consists or why, we have recently gained an understanding. Evidence suggests that today's chemtrail spraying operations consist of airplanes saturating our atmosphere with nano-sized particles influenced by electromagnetic energy for the purpose of weather modification.
U.S. patent #4,686,605 "Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth's Atmosphere, Ionosphere and/or Magnetosphere" shows how stratospheric and tropospheric aerosols can be manipulated using electromagnetic energy in order to modify the weather. The ground-based antennas (known as ionospheric heaters) needed to produce the appropriate electromagnetic energy exist. For a detailed discussion, please see the author's previous article "Smoking Gun: The HAARP and Chemtrails Connection."
The 1996 U.S. military document "Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025" outlines a program using aerosols sprayed from airplanes which are then manipulated with electromagnetic energy in order to modify the weather. This document will be discussed shortly.
The common thread here is weather modification; or as the Library of Congress calls it, "weather control." Lots of other evidence supporting this assertion exists as well, but these two documents are the most salient.
Motives are plenty. Most notably, significant direct benefits can be gained by playing financial markets which rise and fall with the weather such as the weather derivatives and catastrophe reinsurance markets; not to mention agricultural and energy commodities. Enron pioneered the markets. With foreknowledge of the weather, so many scams could be concocted that it boggles the mind. Weather routinely changes the course of Human history. It determines what we do every day. It determines the outcomes of wars and influences elections. Control of the weather is God-like power. Money and power junkies want it.
Controlling Earth's weather would necessarily require a gigantic scientific effort. Oddly enough, when one looks for a National effort in weather modification, one finds a lot. Specifically, if one looks, one can find a history of weather control programs involving electromagnetic energy and atmospheric particles; all in a coherent chronological order.
This paper is the result of thousands of dollars and countless hours spent researching many thousands of pages of source, organizational and Government documents related to weather modification and the atmospheric sciences. This article serves as the foundation for a series of shortly forthcoming articles detailing the history and current state of this Project. May this work help end the spraying. For the fact that these environmental modifications have been done without our informed consent, may this work contribute to the largest class-action lawsuit in history.
This paper examines the origins and development of this; the first planetary level scientific endeavor. Now is our opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the New Manhattan Project...
