HARNESSING WEATHER

ALLEGATIONS SURFACE THAT U.S. & RUSSIA HAVE TECHNOLOGY TO MANAGE HURRICANES

By Mike Blair

Author Sydney Sheldon said, “The old adage that everyone talks about the weather but no one does anything about it is no longer valid,” in an afterword to his fascinating novel Are You Afraid of the Dark?

“Today,” Sheldon continued, “two superpowers have the ability to control weather around the world: the United States and Russia. Other countries, probably China and North Korea, are working feverishly to catch up.”

As this article was being written the aftereffects of Hurricane Katrina were still being felt in the southeastern United States, after it caused billions of dollars in damage along the Gulf of Mexico coast, and the death toll from the killer storm was still being tabulated.

Could this devastation have been avoided? Could Katrina itself have been avoided as a death-dealing hurricane?

The answers to both questions are probably “Yes.” The ability of Russia and the United States to create storms of this magnitude definitely exists.

The big question that remains is, why, then, wasn’t Katrina stopped before it devastated three states—Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi—along the Gulf Coast?

1. I saw this aritical earlier and I really don't know what to make of it
..."The ability of Russia and the United States to create storms of this magnitude definitely exists."

George Noory (Coast to Coast -- wacky RW theories) discussed this topic last week and I'm thinking there are three tropical storms in the Atlantic right now, one 200 miles off the coast of Florida. If what they say is true in the article, then one or all of these could be shaped into another Katrina, striking anywhere.

2. I'm not sure how good they are at it yet. They definitely want to
"own the weather by 2020" as the USAF has said. And Russia says they moved rain over a part of their country that was suffering from drought, so it's not always weaponized.

4. American Free Press is a far-right conspiracy rag
which has its roots in Willis "what Holocaust" Carto's Liberty Lobby.

5. Locking
American Free Press is not a valid news source and is an anti-semitic web site.
