WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTS -- 1997

NEWS BRIEF: "Malaysia to Battle Smog With Cyclones", by Chen May Yee, Staff Reporter of the Wall Street Journal, The Wall Street Journal,

Thursday, November 13, 1997, page A19.

"KULA LUMPUR -- Malaysia's war on smog is about to get a new twist. The government wants to create man-made cyclones to scrub away the haze that has plagued Malaysia since July. 'We will use special technology to create an artificial cyclone to clean the air', said Datuk Law Hieng
Ding, minister for science, technology and the environment. The plan calls for the use of new Russian technology to create cyclones -- the giant storms also known as typhoons and hurricanes -- to cause torrential rains, washing the smoke out of the air.

The Malaysian cabinet and the finance minister have approved the plan, Datuk Law said. A Malaysian company, BioCure Sdn. Bhd., will sign a memorandum of understanding soon with a government-owned Russian party to produce the cyclone. "Datuk Law declined to disclose the size of the cyclone to be generated, or the mechanism. 'The details I don't have', he said. He did say, though, that the cyclone generated would be 'quite strong'.

Datuk Law also declined to disclose the price of creating the cyclone."

There is also much speculation on the web about the disastrous course of action taken earlier this year by our nation's own "beloved" Army Corp of Engineers. This involved a rural area known as the Bird's Nest, though I am forgetting if it was in Arkansas or in Alabama. People were advised that actions that were about to be taken by the Corp would flood them out. They were given a few days notice that they needed to leave their homes and farms as those would be flooded out.

The Army Corp of Engineers had a spokesperson who was telling people that the Corp had no choice - it was either sacrifice these people's homes and farms or else let flood water overtake American cities.

1. Care to provide a link to an actual WSJ article?

Because you don't have a link, and the only sources on that "article" are insane conspiracy theory sites. Like places where they take the psudoscience bullshit of "weather control" seriously.

2. How did I know it would be you?

It is archival material. No one is forcing you to believe in it.

I have a lot of interesting things to do today, outside of figuring out how to get it. Pklus I imagine that there is a fee for accessing it.

It is quite interesting to note that some sixty years ago, the theory of plate tectonics was considered the hallmark of buffonry. Before that there were other interesting ideas that were flattended by those who held the tools of the inquisition.

The earth is flat - believe that or die.
The earth is the center of the universe, and on account of that, the sun does revolve around it.
And an old creed that is now again enjoying belief: God creaed the earth literally in six days. And he did this some six thousand years ago.
