Beyond Conspiracy: The Complex Reality of Government Weather Control

Posted on by AgroWars

In recent headlines, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has stirred controversy by suggesting that the government possesses the ability to control the weather. This assertion was “fact-checked” by users on X.

Rep. Greene was widely lambasted and branded as an “unhinged conspiracy theorist” by the Huffington Post. She was quick to defend herself, providing plenty of evidence to back up her claim.

It’s hard to deny that the government can control the weather, as they have discussed it many times.

The Gateway Pundit defended Rep. Greene, laying out the facts of the matter and showing that she should not be ridiculed for her statement.

The debate should be over whether or not the government is actually using weather manipulation to justify fighting “climate change,” not whether or not the technology exists, as it clearly does.

Robert Kennedy, Jr., who used to be a darling of the left before endorsing Donald Trump, has boldly stated that the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates have “hijacked geoengineering.” Mainstream press has reported on how Gates is funding these projects globally.

“They aggravate the problem then sell us the solution. The solution that they want is more social controls. Geoengineering is a threat that the environmental community needs to know about and the rest of us needs to know about.” – RFK, Jr.

Peeling back the layers of the assertions by Greene and Kennedy reveals a tapestry woven with threads of historical fact, scientific exploration, and speculative fiction.

The notion of weather manipulation isn’t new; it’s been part of military strategy. During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military engaged in Operation Popeye, a cloud-seeding project aimed at extending the monsoon season over the Ho Chi Minh Trail. This operation sought to disrupt North Vietnamese supply lines by making road surfaces muddy and causing landslides, showcasing weather modification for military advantage.

John F. Kennedy (RFK Jr’s uncle) stated, “We shall propose further cooperative efforts between all nations in weather prediction and eventually in weather control.” His successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, once remarked, “If we could control the weather, we could control the world.” While this quote might seem hyperbolic, it underscores a strategic understanding of weather’s potential as a tool in geopolitical strategy, echoing sentiments that might fuel conspiracy theories today.

Science fiction has often been a mirror held up to humanity’s aspirations and fears regarding weather control. Michael Crichton’s State of Fear is about eco-terrorists who engineer “natural disasters” in order to justify massive spending to battle “global warming,” which has since been rebranded as climate change.

“The military pays for weather research?” “Think about it.” —Michael Crichton, State of Fear

The movie Geostorm deals with how weather manipulation technology could be used for both beneficial and nefarious purposes, reflecting public fascination and anxiety over such capabilities.

Due to the secretive nature of the US government and its history of lying to the public, many have speculated about exactly how the weather is being controlled. The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) in Alaska has been a focal point for conspiracy theorists, often cited as a tool for weather control or even mind control. While HAARP’s primary function involves studying the ionosphere for defense purposes, its technology has inadvertently fed into narratives about government manipulation of natural phenomena. Geoengineering proposals, like solar radiation management or large-scale afforestation, further blur the lines between fiction and reality, discussing weather manipulation as a mitigation strategy against climate change.

According to The Gateway Pundit:

According to the North American Weather Modification Council, “a wide range of entities sponsor cloud seeding programs in the U.S. They include municipal, county, and state governments; irrigation, water resource, and water conservation districts; airports; ski resorts; and private industry.”

As of last April when the latest data was released, there are 42 regular cloud seeding projects across the U.S. with another 200 stations opening up by next season (that should have happened already).

The article continues:

Stakeholders can be Big Agriculture companies that need more water to multiply their crops, superpowers like China that are have publicly stated half their nation’s weather will be modified by the year 2025, nations interested in using weather as weapons of war, coastline or tourist centric municipalities that depend on good weather, ski resorts that need snow…they participate in this and the sky is the limit.

The article goes into much more detail, which you should read if the science behind this topic fascinates and worries you, as it should.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s statements might be dismissed as conspiracy-laden due to her association with other controversial positions. However, the existence of Operation Popeye, ongoing research into geoengineering, and historical quotes from political figures suggest a nuanced truth: while the government might not 100% “control” weather in the dramatic sense often depicted in fiction, the exploration and application of weather modification technologies have historical and ongoing precedents.

The debate over weather control highlights a broader societal issue: the intersection of science, government, and public perception. While Greene’s claims might be sensationalized or misinterpreted, they tap into a real vein of historical and ongoing scientific inquiry and application. The truth, as often, lies somewhere in the complex interplay between technological capability, ethical considerations, and the natural world’s unpredictability. The discussion around weather manipulation must balance acknowledging scientific advancements and avoiding the pitfalls of unfounded conspiracy to get to the bottom of what is happening and ensure weather is not used as a weapon of war.
