Weather by design

Regarding the bizarre weather that has been devastating some of the most agriculturally productive areas in the world in the last few months we might want to consider that perhaps the strange weather is not just the result of: 1. "Global warming," the most popular explanation for almost all bad weather; 2. God's wrath against his disobedient, insolent children, a favorite of Pat Robertson and Louis Farrahkan and their ilk; or even; 3. a bout of inclement weather no particular fault of anybody, divine or otherwise.

I know what your saying, but what else can explain the strange, destructive weather if not for one of these three things?

How about environmental modification, or ENMOD for short?

I bring this up because about two months ago I got an email from award-winning journalist Keith Harmon Snow on this topic. His email came shortly after Myanmar (Burma) was hit by a massive cyclone that devastated a huge swath of its rice bowl region and killed an estimated 25,000 people. He was responding to others who had written to him asking him if he had thought that weather modification had somehow played a role in the catastrophe. Here's what he wrote:

"[I] Just want to share that I believe the "cyclone" that hit Burma (Myanmar) was quite likely a product of U.S. military programs in weather warfare. I would assign the likelihood of that a 75 to 90% probability -- that the Pentagon "modified" the storm center (as they clearly know how to do)."

Now, that's quite a statement, and we may want to ask why we should give any credence to Mr. Snow's comments. Well, for one thing Snow has researched and written extensively about weather modification for many years. He was one of the earliest journalist to tackle this hidden technology, and, most importantly, he was once also an insider. In the 80's he worked on classified programs for the Strategic Defense Initiative program at GE Aerospace Electronics Laboratories. You will find his research carefully documented and cited. You can read his very comprehensive articles on weather modification on his website: www.allthingspass.com

Snow writes in Out of the Blue: The invisible U.S. military offensives in weather as a weapon":

"Adherents of weather warfare prefer to call it “environmental modification” – or ENMOD. The corporate media has reported almost nothing about these aerospace and defense programs. Global climatic mayhem is here, and it is happening now. On top of all this is the permanent state of war perpetuated by multinational corporations and their agents in western governments. Behind this threshold of climate chaos the military is manipulating our weather."

So, you might be asking, is there any evidence that the military really is manipulating the weather? Well, we have the militaries' own documents that prove they are working on such projects and have actually used them in the field. Recently this document "Non Lethal Warfare Proposal" surfaced from a FOI request and was reported in Wired magazine. It describes a proposal from the Navy's China Lake Research Center for more ENMOD research and development. Under the subhead "Capability & Uses" the Navy advocates using weather modification for these stated purposes:

1: To impede or deny the movement of personnel and material because of rains - floods, snow-blizzards, etc. and

2: To disrupt economy due to the effect of floods, droughts, etc.

And, here the document spells out the success of the militaries' weather modification program going way back to the Vietnam era:

"By way of background, weather modification was used successfully in Viet Nam to (among other things) hinder and impede the movement of personnel and material from North Viet Nam to South Viet Nam."

So, here the military acknowledges that weather modification is part of military strategy and that they have used it successful in the field of operation.

But besides military applications, could there be other possible motives behind this program? Here Snow postulates:

"Destabilization and access are the motives. High profits for the AID (misery) industry. Access BY the misery industry allows the intelligence apparatus to penetrate deeper and with this the defense apparatus. Destabilization promotes popular disconent and offers countless opportunities for the WEST to manipulate and benefit from popular discontent (with the "regime"). More leverage against CHINA. And then there is a really simple one: The military gets to see its technologies in use, to prove and further refine and validate them.

I would also like to submit that besides these motives there are a great deal of profits to be made in the world's trading floors from such technology. Ever hear of weather and commodities derivatives? These speculative trading schemes could only be possible in the Vegas-like system that we call western capitalism. When one plays in derivatives, traders can take a position that corn or rice, or even rainfall levels, will be below or above a certain "strike" price at some specified time in the future. Depending on whether the stock goes down or up on that date (the "put" or "call" option) the trader can profit mightily as it is only required that he put up only 10% on the value of the option. You might recall that a great deal of put options were placed around 9/11 betting that certain airline stock would fall, making some individuals very rich.

Could the elite be gaming the system by using this quiet warfare on us all for strategic purposes and for profits? Oh, I know, I am are going down the rabbit hole again with this one, but this blog isn't called Redpill 8 for no reason. (If you consider yourself a respectable person who worries about their perceived reputation you shouldn't linger around these pages for fear of getting called a nutcase, or worse.)

Today's technology has advanced at such and astonishing rate that one wonders how far ENMOD has evolved since Operation Popeye days. If it is anything like the recent advances in biotechnology and nanotechnology we should be very aware and leery of this technology. In the wrong hands it is anything but "non-lethal," and if it is being used we need some whistle blowers brave enough to expose it.

The fact that the media won't talk about this technology but would rather focus on Britney Spear's drinking binges and Obama's ministers doesn't make ENMOD any less unreal, it just means it is much more effectively covered up.

Progressive organizations are also missing the boat on this and refuse to acknowledge the existence of such programs, preferring once again to parrot the official narrative -- that global warming is due to man's carbon omissions and we are all to blame. But are we all?

I think Snow says it best later in his email:

"What the military learned long ago was that global climate mayhem offers the perfect camouflage, the perfect cover for militrary adventuraism (devastation) in weather warfare. As long as people are complaining about how we need to address global climate change and not talking about weather warfare technologies and weather as a weapon programs we are involved in an exercise in futility."

Disaster Capitalism Strikes Again In Burma

There is nothing like a good disaster, either real or manufactured, to set up the conditions to sell your tainted goods and policies to a traumatized society. When desperate and in shock, people, disoriented and confused, will take any assistance, or swallow any economy program that promises immediate relief, even relief that in the long run will make them worse off than if they let the disaster run its natural course. This is the premise of Naomi Klein's latest book "The Shock Doctrine, " and Myanmar (Burma) today is going to be the next test case for this doctrine.

Klein writes on her website: "Biotech Companies Using Food Crisis to Push for More GMO Crops." It reads:

"Soaring food prices and global grain shortages are bringing new pressures on governments, food companies and consumers to relax their longstanding resistance to genetically engineered crops....

With food riots in some countries focusing attention on how the world will feed itself, biotechnology proponents see their chance. They argue that while genetic engineering might have been deemed unnecessary when food was abundant, it will be essential for helping the world cope with the demand for food and biofuels in the decades ahead.

Opponents of biotechnology say they see not so much an opportunity as opportunism by its proponents to exploit the food crisis. “Where politicians and technocrats have always wanted to push G.M.O.’s, they are jumping on this bandwagon and using this as an excuse,” said Helen Holder, who coordinates the campaign against biotech foods for Friends of the Earth Europe. G.M.O. refers to genetically modified organism."

Today, with a good chunk of Myanmar's "rice bowl" area in ruins due to cyclone Nargis, the transnational corporations, the UN, and various NGOs, like vultures, are attempting to sweep in and use the Shock Doctrine to reap the benefits of this conveniently-timed disaster. (Conveniently timed because these groups have been leveraging the man-made food crisis for their own political and financial benefit).

By vilifying Myanmar leadership (a feat not hard to do), and by insisting that Burma's leaders open their ports for U.S./U.N. "humanitarian assistance" a.k.a. -- genetically modified foods and to "aid experts," they will have expertly used the Shock Doctrine to its full effect.

Maybe this is why the Burmese leadership are extremely leery of the U.S. and UN's motives and have refused to let them operate freely in the country. In a news report from "The Irrawaddy," we have this news analysis which sounds credible:

"After days of stalling, the junta gave clearance Thursday for the first major international airlifts carrying aid to cyclone survivors. But it was not allowing US military planes to fly in critical relief and continued to withhold visas for several UN teams seeking entry, said Richard Horsey, a UN spokesman in neighboring Thailand.

A foreign military's presence in Burma would mark a major concession for the junta.

"They're afraid that if foreign soldiers come in they are the spearhead to overthrow the government," said Josef Silverstein, a retired Rutgers University professor who studied Burma for more than a half century. From the junta's perspective: "Aid workers could be carrying weapons to give to the people, they could give them ideas of how to overthrow the government." -- Why Is Burma Junta Afraid of Letting Foreign Aid Workers?

Hmmm, aid workers arming an insurrection? You don't say.

Burmese leadership paranoia makes sense however when you read some of the recent news articles promoting invasion: "The case for invading Myanmar" and US threatens food aid drops on Burma". Does it sound a little suspicious that there just happens to be four U.S. Navy ships in the area stocked with aid and Marines from the Essex Expeditionary Strike Force? From The Australian:

"Four ships, including the destroyer USS Mustin and the three-vessel Essex Expeditionary Strike Force, would be off the coast in about five days, carrying about 1800 Marines.

The Pentagon has moved many of the 23 helicopters on board the USS Essex, which has been participating in a multinational humanitarian exercise in the region, to a staging area in Thailand where they are waiting permission to enter Burma. Three giant C-130 cargo planes and a C-17 loaded with relief supplies are also waiting there." -- US threatens food aid drops on Burma".

Besides their concerns that nefarious actors pretending to be humanitarian aid workers would help to destabilize the country, the Burmese leadership might also be concerned that some of these actors might want to get their genetically modified rice into the hands of needy people, rice which if planted would contaminate local crops and provide companies like Monsanto, Syngenta, Dow and Dupont with annual royalties due to patents.

The transnational AgBio companies with their partners in the UN and USAID have already been accused of forcing GM foods on countries who don't want them even for humanitarian aid. According to Zambian Vice President Enock Kavindele said his country had declined a $50 million line of credit from the U.S. Department of Agriculture because of provisions that it would have to purchase GM commodities. Starving Africa should accept GMO food, US says

Should we be so cynical as to think that there might be another agenda behind the urgent and passionate calls for massive and immediate relief for Burma from first lady Laura Bush and Josette Sheeran Shiner, a long-time Moonie and currently the director of the U.N. World Food Program?

With Laura Bush many of us might be tempted to suspend our disbelief that she is acting as a good faith agent. After all, just because you married a criminal doesn't mean you are one. The same logic can be used when describing Josette Sheeran Shiner and her connections with the Bush administration and the self-proclaimed messiah, cult-leader and businessman, Reverend Sun Myung Moon. But to believe that they are innocent from any corrupting influence would be negligent on our part. We have to be skeptical as to their motives, as much of U.S. foreign policy can be interpreted as nothing more than piracy. And, as many observers have noted, the UN, being controlled by industry insiders and people with dubious bona fides, is just an extension of that piracy.

In the case of Josette Sheeran Shiner, Bush's nominee to head the UN World Food Program, concerns were raised over her close ties to neo-conservative, free-trade elements in the Bush administration and over her long association with Reverend Moon, who is one of the most powerful figures in Washington DC. Rev. Moon is also the owner of a number of newspapers, including the influential Washington Times, where Sheeran was for a time the managing editor.

Is there any reason why we should concern ourselves with Sheeran's religious and political affiliations and her position as head of the most powerful food aid agency in the world? As any astute follower of the global elite and their intelligence agencies knows, they hide behind front organizations to sell their bill of goods, whether that is tainted GMOs, bankrupt free-market ideology, or repressive control of the state. This is illustrated by the various shell companies, organizations and foundations that the CIA and their mind-controlled cults, like the Moonies, use to cover their tracks.

One of these organizations is American Freedom Coalition, a "political education and lobbying group" started by Rev. Moon that has been tied to fake pro-Monsanto marches at the World Summit on Sustainable Development. Rev. Moon has also used his Washington Times and his press service, United Press International (UPI), as a bully pulpit to promote BioAg in a favorable light.

So, is Sheeran, a Moonie-cult member for 21 years (she claims she left it in 1997), just an agent for Moon and his CIA friends? Have they surreptitiously taken over control of the most powerful food aid agency in the world in order to get genetically engineered foods into Asia?

Think about this statement by Meyer Nathaniel Rothschild at a gathering of world bankers February 12, 1912: "Let me control a people's currency and I care not who makes their laws."

Now, imagine what he would say today if he could control the world's food and water supply.
