The author of that article makes a number of claims about our ability to control the weather and then provides links to the sources behind each of those claims.

But what I find most interesting, is that the sources seem to say the exact opposite of what the article’s author says.

For example, the author of the article states that “Project Cirrus of 1947 attempted to modify a hurricane off the coast of Florida only to artificially redirect it to demolish parts of Georgia.”

But when you read the source article, it says that project Cirrus had zero effect on the hurricane. Which would make sense intuitively. All they did during Project Cirrus was drop 80kg of dry ice into the clouds on the edge of the hurricane. The source article even goes as far as to say it’s laughable to believe that 80kg of dry ice would be capable of disrupting a hurricane.

I’m not sure how the Gateway Pundit author could screw that up so badly.
 
I know they use Silver Idodide to make it rain. Supposedly it causes ice crystals to form and then disperse which produces rain, or some stuff like that. Canada uses it to reduce hail storms.

It is also toxic and some surmise that increased seeding has something to do with increased allergies. idk.
 
I’m not sure how the Gateway Pundit author could screw that up so badly.

If you look at her "credentials" it makes total sense.

175 lbs of dry ice. That seems well thought out. I like that they wanted to aim it at Georgia instead of back into the gulf as well.
 
Weather modification is absolutely real
Normally referred to as geo-engineering now

There are various systems & methods that were developed over decades

Ground based systems - satellite platforms - aircraft that can directly alter cloud composition - older patents feature ship based designs that create chemical laced updrafts

i had exactly one (1) direct interaction with the HAARP site in AK while in the AF
Their website at that time was ".mil" and openly listed offensive capabilities they could employ. - so that site is enormous - over 200 antenna type devices - its called a research facility now but you CAN use it to heat large swaths of the atmosphere & ocean as well

It can disrupt / EMP a ground based target and radically alter the electrical properties of the atmosphere -

Russia and China have similar sites
China openly bragged about artificially manipulating the weather when they had the Olympics

I can totally understand why it would sound strange to anyone who hasn't considered the idea

Military technology inherently features operating systems that people just don't know about -- directed energy weapons would be another operational, non-classified weapon type that many ppl would still consider "far fetched" ?

Then you have actual classified weapons or classified varieties of weapons - and that includes various compartmentalized levels of secrecy

THEN there's stuff in development or low rate initial production
and finally - more concept level systems that are IR&D or possibly DARPA research




Point is - it shouldn't surprise anyone that capabilities exist that you've never heard of
There's definitely a portfolio of weapons - defensive systems - electronic / electromagnetic / nanotechnology and neurological based weapons on line - and at the disposal of our CINC and Sevices



I have provided extensive links in the global climate change thread if anyone wants to see - those are all public facing / objective sources

US Patents are a good place to start if you're genuinely interested in getting an overview of some of the things developed over time -

That's an inherently reliable source that includes an abstract/overview - design blueprints or electronic schematics and details regarding various methods of deployment- including possible chemicals used and their effects

That list looks like a few cloud seeding patents sprinkled throughout a random list of things that have nothing to do with the weather.

For example:
  • 5486900 – January 23, 1996 – Measuring device for amount of charge of toner and image forming apparatus having the measuring device - this appears to be a patent filed by Sharp Corp to measure toner in copy machines
  • 6034073 – March 7, 2000 – Solvent detergent emulsions having antiviral activity - this is a patent by Novovax regarding a process for inactivating viruses
Not sure who gave you that list, but you might want to consider checking their work next time. Just from scanning the descriptions in your post, it’s clear that most of those patents are non-weather related without even needing to look up the actual patent filing.

If that’s supposed to represent a list of weather related patents, it is exceedingly sloppy work.
 
I like the idea that we can create and direct the energy in a hurricane -- hundreds of thousands of megatons of TNT -- by seeding clouds. That's all it takes. *poof*

People who believe these kinds of things don't have a sense of the impossibility to do the things claimed. Now, not knowing is no shame. Few of us understand much about the thousands of marvels we enjoy daily. But there is psychic masturbation behind the thrills of conspiracy theories. It feels so good to be in the know of the behind the scenes stuff that real life can't hold a candle. And if you "know" the who-did-it behind these issues, the how-in-the-fork nuts-and-bolts don't matter. "It's that guy over there! Get him!" The guy over there has nothing to do with the phenomenon, but that doesn't matter. Someone said he did. That's all it takes.

Interesting. It boggles my mind how people can fall for something like that.

It only takes two seconds of scanning the patent descriptions to realize it’s a completely nonsensical list of random patents.
The thing is, people do fall for stuff like this. And even worse. You almost have to wonder if some folks purposely seek this stuff out. Maybe like the drama in life. Maybe like to disagree and “fight the man”.

They’ve been chasin Bigfoot since at least the 70s o and they haven’t got him yet. And I remember in the 80s my grandmother saw where scientists had bred a human amd a bat and created a Batboy. She was effing terrrified. No joke. Granny kind lost her marbles…

My other grandma was a poor farmer who sent money to Jim and Tammy Fae Baker. Swore they were doing the lords work. She got pissed when I said the lord would have sent clowns with better face paint…

But yeah. I link the linked article that alluded to cloud studies in the west and the program concluded that seeding sometimes caused more rain than average, and some time it was less than average…you know….average.

It's always funny watching the nuts step outside of their weirdo echo chamber to a wider audience and struggle in failing to grasp how f'n looney tunes they really are.



Literally the first reply in this topic is a link to an article going on about Marjorie Taylor Greene, a *politician* being supposedly right about this shit from some far-right fake news blog site whose founder created the site to "expose the wickedness of the left" and was promoting that Obama wasn't born in the U.S. and other nonsense leading to them being de-monetized by Google. But no one cares about that shit when it aligns with their whacky politics. It's another stupid f'n topic from BigLardAss.

That wasn't the only thing he was referencing. He was talking about the entire topic that someone else brought up.

Aside from someone posting an MTG article, I didn't think the angle of this topic was to get political.

5383024 – January 17, 1995 – Optical wet steam monitor

This one expired because the patent seeker didn’t pay the fees.

Go read the actual summary of the invention.
Thought this one was kind of interesting.
This patent is for a chemical that, when applied to a hurricane, expands the eye wall and greatly weakens its intensity.

It was filed in Aug. 1993 by Ernest Rovella (I’m assuming the filing was motivated by Hurricane Andrew the year before). Ernest was the owner and operator of Oxygen Plus Respiratory Care and Home Health Equipment, Inc. in Vero Beach, FL. Unusual background for an inventor in the meteorological space.

His filing claims that experiments using his method resulted in an 11x increase in the size of the hurricane’s eye. I’m a little skeptical that NOAA, or any other agency, would lend Ernest their hurricane hunter aircraft to conduct tests of his chemical. And surely these successful experiments would’ve made the news, though I didn’t come across anything. So his 11x claim seems a little dubious.

The chemical that Ernest describes in his patent is also interesting. He says it’s an “anhydrous hydrate.” In other words, it’s a chemical compound that contains zero water molecules while at the same time containing water molecules. So his grasp of chemistry doesn’t appear to be that great.

But essentially, what the patent seems to describe is a process where you grind a desiccant (like you might find in a new pair of shoes) into a fine powder and sprinkle this in the hurricane’s eye. The powder absorbs water vapor to create fat, heavy raindrops that are flung outward by centrifugal force. These raindrops then pull the eye wall outward, weakening the hurricane. That seems a bit like a scheme that Kramer from Seinfeld might come up with.

So it would appear that this weather related patent is likely fraudulent in the sense that it never worked. Not surprisingly, the patent expired due to not paying the fees.

It is real. But it also probably has little/nothing to do with hurricanes because these were a thing well before.

The underlying issue is the government's refusal to be honest. That causes everything to be doubted and imo critical thinking is a good thing.

As to the weather manipulation in general, as i said in another thread i wish experts would leave nature alone. Way too smart to be so dumb, but here we are.
 
What I enjoy is the same guys who easily believe in the evil government with their secret evil genius scientists are controlling the weather are same guys who scoff and dismiss any ideas of "man made" climate changes the "other" side wants to curb

Great post, thanks for detailing your firsthand account. I've heard talk of lasers being used in weather modification which would be fascinating if true.

On a side note I'm quite amazed with the science deniers we have responding to this thread.
 
Least surprising thing on the Paddock is Wyvern(CastleRubric) being a weather manipulation conspiracy theorist.

Most importantly, and I cannot understand how people still need to be told this - patents, even owned by the US, often are totally 1000% MEANINGLESS. They do NOT have to even be real. Literally. There are literal UFO patents, go ahead and look them up. They can be totally bogus fantasies.

"Patents" can be civilization changing. Like lightbulbs or lasers. Or innocuous doodads. You can't cite a patent to prove government conspiracy. In 2023, there were over 300,000 patents issued.

Practical modification of the weather involves rainmaking. Seeding clouds. It has some success but it's advantages are ambiguous. You sure can't gin up a hurricane and you can't dissipate it. Trump once asked if he could nuke one to dissipate it. That's the kind of energies involved.
