Weather Modification Programs Revealed After Texas Flooding
Following the devastating flooding of the Guadalupe River in central Texas, which resulted in over 100 fatalities, many Americans were left wondering how such a disaster could happen so rapidly.
Extreme rainfall led Texas Senator Ted Cruz to consider the idea of weather modification, which he initially dismissed as a “strange” and “crazy” internet theory.
However, just days later, Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), disclosed that weather modification isn’t merely a theory. In fact, at least nine states are currently engaged in public weather modification operations.
“Those who asked questions in good faith for years have been rejected,” Zeldin noted during a public address on Thursday, highlighting the agency’s commitment to “transparency.” The EPA recently published reports addressing both county-level and geographical modifications.
“The American public deserves and expects integrity and transparency from the government when they seek answers,” Zeldin stated. He emphasized that people who have inquired about these topics have often been dismissed or even vilified by the media and the government. “The days are over. The Trump EPA is committed to full transparency.”
Zeldin further expressed, “I want you to know everything I know about these topics, without exception!”
The EPA’s Geoengineering Report detailed various government programs that were active from 1947 to 1971, revealing military efforts aimed at altering hurricanes and rainfall patterns, even in war zones.
For instance, in October 1947, the Army, Navy, and Air Force collectively executed the first ever cloud-seeding experiment aimed at hurricanes using dry ice, off the coast of Florida.
During the Vietnam War, a classified operation known as Operation Popeye attempted to extend the monsoon season in North Vietnam and Laos. Between 1961 and 1971, Project Stormfury sought to reduce hurricane wind speeds by dispersing silver iodide in four hurricanes over eight days.
Notably, despite these attempts, government conclusions reveal that “existing technologies cannot change hurricanes.” The report described geoengineering as a billion-dollar industry that often garners skepticism due to its association with the term “chemtrail,” which has been dismissed as a conspiracy theory originating from early internet discussions.
The EPA report addressed misconceptions surrounding contrails, asserting that “chemtrails” are often misinterpreted civilian observations resulting from regular air traffic.
Additionally, research and freedom of information requests have unearthed some intriguing financial flows in government programs. For example, American NGOs have provided substantial donations for “geoengineering” efforts.
Regardless of skepticism, weather modification initiatives are increasingly drawing attention in the public sphere, especially given the EPA’s recent disclosures regarding nine states with active programs.
- California
- Idaho
- Nevada
- Utah
- Wyoming
- Colorado, where weather modification has been in practice since the 1950s
- New Mexico
- North Dakota
- Texas
As inquiries continue about the government’s role in managing weather patterns, the possibilities – and implications – of such technologies remain an ongoing discussion.
