Weather Warfare

S.K.T. Nasar

Human control over weather could lead to weaponising the weather with unprecedented powers of devastation far greater than those of atomic and hydrogen bombs.

 

Weather fluctuations

Natural weather fluctuations are routine. Weather variations may sometimes show abrupt transitions from one state to another. Seasonal variations and sudden weather alterations are triggered by internal drivers such as atmospheric concentration CO₂ and other greenhouse gases, temperature and salinity of oceans, volcanic eruptions et cetera. External causes, in contrast, include astronomical factors like variations in the energy output from the sun, gravity waves and conditions of the ionosphere.

Livelihood, agriculture, economy and culture of human habitats are essentially dependent on local weather. Erratic weather potentially creates havoc. Humans have learnt to evade weather extremes by innovations in dwelling houses, appropriate clothes, water reservoirs, air conditioning and suitable cropping systems. Another strategy is to control the weather for human welfare.

Measures to harness weather to advantage already exist. The downside, however, is that the control of weather could be used as a weapon to subdue adversaries.

Weather & Climate

The difference between weather and climate is simply a measure of time. Climate is the manifestation of average weather pattern in a given geographical area usually measured for every 3 decades. Weather includes sunshine, rain, cloud cover, wind, hailstorm, flooding, blizzard, heat or cold wave and more. Weather shapes the atmosphere during short spans. Climate denotes the synthesis of weather averaged usually over a 30-year period.

Climate Change is, thus, fundamentally about changes in long-term averages of daily weather in a given area. For example, a significant shortage of rainfall than the average of previous years leads to a drier season. Shortage of precipitation over several years indicates climate change. On the contrary, a very heavy downpour within a short time causes flash floods. Such a weather fluctuation is not indicative of climate change. Both quantity and duration of weather fluctuations are taken into account while analysing climate change.

Human activity and climate

Environmental components include the atmosphere or the air, the hydrosphere or the water, the lithosphere or the rocks and soil and the biosphere, the living organism. Wide-ranging evidences show that human activity causes inadvertent long-term weather modifications and climate change.  Industrial emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere trigger acid rains harmfully affecting freshwater bodies, agricultural crops and infrastructure. Several pollutants destroy the quality of air, water and soil. Climate change caused by human activities set off extreme weather events such as extreme temperatures, drought, flooding, high winds, global warming and severe storms. Depletion of ozone layer in the stratosphere is already a hazard to humanity.

Climate debates evading vital concerns

Climate change is in universal focus with an overload of endless debates and costly action plans.  Unpardonably, however, two aspects namely (a) climate change due to conflicts and wars, and (b) deliberate manipulations of weather as a weapon of wars are omitted from discussions. Reports by the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize winning International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) do not even acknowledge the influence of conflicts, wars and weather warfare on weather disruptions and climate change. Other official international fora such as Paris Climate Summit of November 2015 have also evaded these concerns. World citizens’ organisations are, however, working hard to expose weather warfare activities secretly pursued by nations.

Authority over weather

All cultures express faith that entities from other planets with powers of controlling our planet’s weather indeed exist. These extra-terrestrial beings are worshipped by many societies. Most polytheist religions have their weather gods, goddesses, and deities. Indra, for example, is the god of rain and thunderstorms in Hinduism. Ancient Alien theorists are gathering proofs that, in fact, the aliens have powers of controlling the climatic conditions on planet earth.

Playing god has been a human endeavour since time immemorial. Consequently, human mind has been occupied with the desire of acquiring power of controlling the weather. The human race has achieved some success in this endeavour. The openly declared idea is that human control over weather shall be used exclusively for the good of all. The hidden agenda in the garb of secrecy, on the contrary, is that human control of weather should be clandestinely used as a weapon in wars and conflicts. Initial successes have lead to a rat-race for controlling local-to-global weather. Controlling the weather would provide the means for weaponising the weather to subdue chunks of humanity. Weather warfare has the potential of unprecedented devastation. Weather War technology is often nicknamed as Environmental Modification (ENMOD), Geoengineering or the Death Technology.

Weather Warfare

Weather warfare is the deliberate application of weather modification techniques for military purposes or for terrorism. Some of these methods are fundamentally upscaling simple procedures. Fogging on theatre stages or for eradication of mosquitoes in neighborhoods is a common sight. Fogging with toxic chemicals on huge scales through aircrafts or missiles could become an instrument of war. Large scale spraying of pesticides over crop fields or for control of locust breeding is routine. The same method when used to spray particular chemicals above the cloud line in the sky would become a warfare technique. Several comparable instances exist.

Upscaling costs

Weather modification involves suppression or intensification of weather patterns and, in some cases, the creation of completely new weather conditions. Upscaling simple techniques to warfare weaponry for modern and future wars requires huge expenditure, cutting edge technological skill, colossal manpower, time and complete secrecy. Effective use of these weapons shall have to be secretly executed. Nations with high investment capacity with top secret mission control system and classified documentation set-up are able to weaponise weather. Poor nations can only be the victims. The victims of weather wars would not even be able to identify the perpetrators; simple folks would believe the devastations to be the acts of the gods.

Weaponising the weather prohibited

Environmental modification (ENMOD) is officially prohibited. The 1977 Geneva Convention on Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques forbids "widespread, long-lasting or severe effects as the means of destruction, damage or injury". Therefore, it is officially claimed that ENMOD shall be employed exclusively for "local, non-permanent changes". Clandestine weather warfare is, thus, a by-product of developments to use weather modification techniques for peacetime missions.

Illustrative instance of weather warfare

US mathematician John von Neumann had suggested in the late 1940s that ENMOD is exploitable as ‘forms of climatic warfare as yet unimagined’. An in-depth understanding of natural phenomena creating the weather will give out clues to controlling the weather. Some intervention tools exist today and newer ones are being developed and refined for the future.

Rain and fog

Cloud in varied type and expanse is seen in all seasons everywhere. Condensed water vapour forming a visible suspended mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals in the cooler strata of the atmosphere forms the cloud that may also contain different chemicals. Clouds hover at heights ranging from 6,500-20,000 ft from earth’s surface. Clouds form usually with the water vapor concentrating around condensation nuclei such as dust, ice, and salt. Aerosols of tiny particles of various origins, abundantly present in the atmosphere, serve as condensation nuclei. Super cooling of the cloud forms ice crystals heavy enough to drop down as rain. A little less cold condition results in formation of water drops pulled down on earth by gravity. The ice crystal warms up due to friction to form water drops during its passage through the atmosphere. Very large aggregates of ice crystals are only partially converted to water while the rest reaches the earth as hails.

Cloud and fog are fundamentally the same but for their placement above the earth’s surface; the cloud hangs higher up in the cool strata whereas fog covers the space of a few feet from the ground level. Fog is a low lying cloud which is greatly influenced by local topography, water bodies and wind conditions. Smoke and particulate matter when suspended with fog creates the smog. Fog obstructs visibility on surface of earth; clouds obscure sunlight. In principle it is a simple technology to spread chemicals best suited to act as condensation nuclei in the uppermost layers of a cloud to create rain. Similar treatment will make fog to precipitate and disappear.

Cloud seeding and rain making

Cloud seeding is all about scattering either dry ice or, more commonly, silver iodide aerosols into upper part of cloud to create condensation nuclei stimulating raindrop formation to hasten rainfall. Most rainfall starts through the growth of ice crystals from super-cooled cloud droplets below the freezing point in the upper parts of clouds. Silver iodide particles encourage the growth of new ice particles.

Rain making technology was used in Operation Popeye of the US military as a weapon in the 1967-1972 Vietnam War. Cloud seeding was executed over the Ho Chi Minh trail to prolong the monsoon in 1967-1968 to increase the rainfall by about 30%. The operation yielded flash flooding thereby obstructing the movements of Vietnamese soldiers. Crop fields and villages were also adversely affected. On an average the monsoon season was extended 30 to 45 days. Common people considered too much rain as a natural disaster.

In India, the Centre for Atmospheric Sciences and Weather Modification Technologies (CASWMT) of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad induced cloud-seeding operations over 600 mandals in 12 districts during 2004-08. They succeeded in achieving good rainfall enhancement that saved crops at critical times. Results from Maharashtra (India), Mexico, Thailand, China and South Africa were encouraging. In these operations starting in 2005, mini-rockets loaded with chemicals to increase cloud condensation and precipitation were shot upwards to promising clouds. These exemplify weather control for public wellbeing whereas Operation Popeye typifies Weather Warfare.

Cloud seeding experimenters losing control may cause unintended consequences. Project Cumulus cloud seeding experiments over southern England conducted by the British Royal Air Force in 1949-1952 is blamed for the flood in the Devon village of Lynmouth in 1952 causing 34 deaths and destruction. More recently, an example of weather control was seen during the preparation for the Summer Olympic Games in China. Approximately 1,104 rain dispersal rockets from 21 sites were shot at clouds overhanging Beijing to keep rainfall away from the opening ceremony on 8 August 2008.

Defogging and creating cyclones

Malaysia reportedly signed an agreement with Russia in 1997 for use of technology to dissipate excess fog which would also allow them to create cyclones. Reduction of fog that obstructed visibility was achieved during the Vietnam War by US forces who dropped salt on the airbase during the siege of Khe Sanh. Artificial fog may also be produced by colossal scale fogging machines. The artificial foggers may be used as weapon simply by spraying toxic fumes. Many countries such as United States, China, Russia, and Mexico are already modifying the weather.

Contrail and Chemtrail

Contrails are common. Chemtrails are a part of Climate Engineering for welfare or for weather war.

A contrail is easily visible. The engines of a jet plane traversing the sky at altitudes of 30,000 feet and above compress the air into water vapor and ice crystals; this forms the visible cloudy trails, the contrails. Contrails disappear within a minute due to the evaporation of its water. Contrails may remain visible for up to 20 minutes in calm weather with the broadened tail vanishing first. A contrail may contain some sulphur and carbon particles in addition to ice crystals.

‘Chemtrail’ is a recent term. Chemtrail and contrail are similar at the first glance. However, the chemtrail remains visible for about five to eight hours spreading out to form a hazy cloud bank. A keen observer can see chemtrails crisscrossing the skyline.

Chemtrails are believed to contain undeclared substances sprayed over populated areas from jets. Some chemtrails allegedly contain unknown biological components. It is now known that many chemtrails pollute the sky with aluminum, barium, lead, arsenic, chromium, cadmium, selenium and silver reaching earth’s surface with raindrops. These chemicals add to human health problems including neurological effects, heart damage, eyesight issues, reproduction failures, immune system damage, gastrointestinal disorders, damaged kidney, damaged liver, hormonal problems, and more. Animals, fish and plants are also affected in varied degrees. More toxic and radioactive chemicals contained in chemtrails may result in devastating effects. Owners of chemtrail technologies inform the public that they are spraying chemtrails for pollution reduction. On the contrary, there are many reports of increased diseases, especially lung diseases, in areas where there are chemtrails.

HAARP and Tesla Death Ray

HAARP (abbreviation for High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is the most talked about futuristic technology for weather manipulation via the ionosphere. This can be used to control weather, almost all human activities and even human mind.

Simply speaking, sun’s energy in the form of electromagnetic waves passes through the ionosphere and then strikes the surface of the earth.  This energy when reflected back to the ionosphere shall create havoc. Alternatively, and more practicably, similar devastating effect would result when enormous amounts of energy generated on earth is beamed in to the ionosphere.  This beam of energy is nicknamed Tesla Death Ray named after an all time genius Nikola Tesla.

Futuristic Weaponised Weather Control

HAARP-based technology, as officially explained, is employed to transmit massive energy into the ionosphere for improved communication, weather control, and defensive military objectives.

Many, however, suggest that it can also be abused as a weapon of mass destruction capable of instantly striking anywhere to create a wide range of devastations including earthquakes. Some allegations are: (i) Physicist Bernard Eastlund claimed that HAARP includes his US Patent technology capable of  modifying the weather and neutralising satellites; (ii) Russians worry that ionospheric testing would "trigger a cascade of electrons that could flip the Earth's magnetic poles"; (iii) European Parliament discussed the "environmental concerns"; (iv) the titles of books such as ‘Angels Don't Play This Haarp: Advances in Tesla Technology’ by Nick Begich & Jeane Manning-1995, ‘Earth Rising II: The Betrayal of Science, Society and the Soul’ by Nick Begich & James Roderick-2003, ‘Chemtrails, HAARP, and the Full Spectrum Dominance of Planet Earth’ by Elana Freeland-2014, and others speak for themselves; (v) governments owning HAARP-based technologies keep the entire issue classified ‘top secret’ inaccessible to public.

Eastlund patent

The 1987 US patent in favour of Dr. Eastlund is titled "Method and apparatus for altering a region in the earth's atmosphere, ionosphere, and/or magnetosphere". It set the stage for HAARP. Selected statements in the patent applications include: (i) the ionosphere temperature was raised by hundreds of degrees in his experiments, (ii) the invention provides a means and method to cause interference with or even total disruption of communications over a very large portion of the earth with significant civilian and military implications, (iii) this invention could be employed to disrupt not only land based communications, but also airborne communications and sea communications, and (iv) an exceedingly large amounts of power can be very efficiently produced and transmitted.

Weather modification is possible by altering upper atmosphere wind patterns or altering solar absorption patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles which will act as a lens or focusing device. The concentrations of ozone, nitrogen, etc. in the atmosphere could be artificially increased; it has the potentiality to decrease or disrupt at appropriate altitudes to modify or eliminate the earth's magnetic field. Moreover, "With the use of powerful computers, segments of human emotions which include anger, anxiety, sadness, fear, embarrassment, jealousy, resentment, shame, and terror, have been identified and isolated within the EEG signals as 'emotion signature clusters.' They are then placed on the Silent Sound carrier frequencies and could silently trigger the occurrence of the same basic emotion in another human being."

Layers of atmosphere

Planet earth is enveloped by five major layers of the atmosphere that extend from earth’s surface upwards to roughly defined heights. These are (i) Exosphere (700-10,000 km), (ii) Thermosphere (80-700 km), (iii) Mesosphere (50-80 km), (iv) Stratosphere (12-50 km) and (v) Troposphere (0-12 km). Several secondary layers with other properties exist within these five principal layers.

Magnetosphere is contained in the exosphere. The ionosphere is a region of the atmosphere that is ionized by solar radiation, primarily to ultraviolet radiation and extends between parts of the mesosphere and exosphere. The ionosphere includes the Thermosphere and it plays an important role in atmospheric electromagnetic charge formation at the inner edge of the magnetosphere. Ionosphere influences radio propagation to the farthest locations on the earth.

The ozone layer is a part of the stratosphere and is responsible for auroras. An aurora, also Northern Light, and Polar Light, is a natural light display in the sky more commonly seen in Arctic and Antarctic regions. The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents by solar flares emits light of varying colour and complexity. Proton auroras are usually observed at lower latitudes. Aurora Borealis, the Northern Light, and Aurora Australis sometimes occur in the lower part of the exosphere where they overlap into the thermosphere.

HAARP locations

HAARP stations and HAARP-based technology centres exist in USA, Alaska, Area 51 located at Nevada in western USA, Peru, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Long Island, UK, Norway, Russia, China, India, Japan, and Australia.

Hundreds of antennae at these stations together have the capacity to produce billions of watts of electromagnetic (em) radio waves or microwaves of very low frequency (vlf) or extremely low frequency (elf) which can travel in various shapes and colours to distances of hundreds of kilometers around the world – upward into the atmosphere, or deep into the ocean and into the core of the earth. These waves are capable of connecting radio towers, antennae, transmitters and receivers in a grid all around the world. 

These facilities are powered by nuclear energy. It consists basically of an array of high powered antennae that blast focused beams of radio waves into the upper atmosphere into the ionosphere. It works by heating the ionosphere that shields the earth against the bombardment of high-energy particles from outer space. The energy generated on ground is combined into a directed beam that heats and lifts the exact targetted patches of the ionosphere. The beam can make invisible ionospheric mirrors which create a channel for energy transfer over great distances to targets on earth.

HAARP is believed to be a secret electromagnetic weapon that sends strong radio waves to cause weather modification, earthquake, and tsunami. Directed EM waves disrupt global communication system; induce engineered viruses, control mind of humans and much more. Other Objectives involve Mind Control through metals like Barium, Weather control through inducing draughts, using HAARP frequencies to cause extreme weather conditions and spreading diseases, spraying with spliced red blood cells, mycoplasma and fungi.

Electromagnetic pulse bomb

A Scalar Weapon is a massive electromagnetic pulse bomb. It generates EM pulses releasing a massive blast that would destroy all electronic gadgets in the area. This system leaves the epicenter and weapon unharmed and undetected. This terrifying scalar beam technology secretly owned by many nation-states can destroy activities on the whole planet.

Commercialisation of cloud nucleation &precision lightning

Cloud seeding companies are growing in number around the world to create and sell the technologies and services for artificial rainfall. Rain making may be put to good use or for weather warfare depending upon the intentions of technology owners.

Precision lightning strike with synthetic lightning is also possible. The 2005 book, ‘Weapons Grade: How Modern Warfare Gave Birth to Our High-Tech World’, noted that artificial lightning had been accomplished using lasers with a range of about 200 meters, but could possibly be extended to about 3 km. Other warfare technologies including that based on HAARP are on sale. There is a risk of the weather weapons falling in the hands of violent extremists is a real danger.

What next?

Human control over weather and climate is welcome. However, such control is fraught with the real danger of weather technologies being used as weapons of wars, conflicts and domination. Controlling rain, fog and cloud may help but its abuse may cause floods and droughts. Chemtrails, when abused, may shower misery on settlements. HAARP-based technology, operating from the outermost atmosphere, could be a weapon of mass destruction with the victims not knowing the source of the curse; most civilisations would believe these devastations as the act of god. This group of technologies in conjunction with chemtrails and scalar weapon technology is by far the most dreadful. World War III, god forbid, will be fought with Weaponised Weather technologies such as electromagnetic pulse bombs and psychotronic weapons; not by nuclear or hydrogen bombs. The scenario is scary but inventive counter technologies are being created. “The age of climate warfare is here. The military-industrial complex is ready”.

The question is: Are we ready?
