Hurricane Sandy is being described as the “worst storm in 100 years” and will possibly mutate to super-storm status once it combines with a polar air mass over the eastern United States enabling it to cause widespread damage and chaos, but how convenient is the timing of this “natural” event in regards to the election? Is it possible that the storm is a contrived event designed to throw the election for Obama?

“Call Biden! Tell him up, down, left, right’s not working!”

The reality of weather modification is no conspiracy theory.

Since before the 50′s, weather modification techniques have existed. In fact, the threat of “weather weapons” was so imminent that the United Nations felt it necessary to draft a treaty ensuring no nation would use this “new means of warfare” against one another. Why would the U.N. draft a treaty if weather modification was just a conspiracy theory?

The 1976 UN Weather Weapons Treaty defined “weather weapons” as follows: “[...] the term “environmental modification techniques” refers to any technique for changing – through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes–the dynamics, composition or structure of the Earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere andatmosphere, or of outer space.”

Article I of the treaty states that each State Party “undertakes not to engage in military or any other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects as the means of destruction, damage or injury to any other State Party.”

Article III, however, makes the provision that weather weapons can be used if their applications are deemed “for peaceful purposes.”

Weather modification around the world.

In 2008, China removed the threat of rain during their Olympic opening ceremony in Beijing using 30 airplanes, 4,000 rocket launchers, 7,000 anti-aircraft guns and, according to the LA Times, “a technique that reduces the size of the raindrops, delaying the rain until the clouds move on.”

Earlier this year, we reported on Russia employing a form of weather modification when they used 10 aircraft to stave off clouds for their City Day celebration in Moscow. In 2008, it was reported that a man in Moscow had a chunk of cement fall on his house after it “failed to fragment when falling through the air” during a mission to clear the skies.

In 2005, a proposed U.S. Senate bill would have created a Weather Modification Operations and Research Board to promote further research into the area.

Also, earlier this year we reported on the massive $5 billion dollar price tag put on a program to spray sun-dimming particles into the upper atmosphere, a program put in motion to allegedly halt global warming. The program, known by a few under the moniker “chemtrails,” is widely speculated to already be underway.

For Obama, the possibility of a perfect storm catastrophe would undoubtedly leave thousands
in need of government assistance. Homes and lives would be in shambles and swarms would flock to FEMA for handouts, allowing Obama to grandstand over relief efforts.

Weather modification is a reality and our technological capabilities in the field have most certainly increased exponentially since the 1976 UN treaty. We could possibly be seeing the effects right before our eyes. One just needs to look outside on a clear day and see lines in the sky to realize that weather modification is already a part of our everyday lives.
