WEATHER CONTROL
"Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves…So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations…it's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts." - secretary of defense, William Cohen, 1997
SEPTEMBER 26. One of the prime myths about the media is that when a
blockbuster story begins to surface, intrepid reporters pull at the
tag ends like wild dogs and drag it into the light.
Often, the opposite thing happens. The reporters wait for more
information from the government, and when details are not
forthcoming, the reporters shrug and walk away.
Or at a higher level, editors decide to abandon the piece. Too much
work, too hard to find facts.
Or the publisher intervenes and kills the story.
The controlled press can be controlled from many perches.
The result is, a limited and contradictory and insane and senseless
reality is shaped for the public.
A case in point. Here is a statement I recently came across. It was
made by the secretary of defense, William Cohen, in 1997, and
included in a DOD news briefing:
"Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism
whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes
remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves…So there are plenty
of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which
they can wreak terror upon other nations…it's real, and that's the
reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts."
Talk about something to chew on.
Assuming the weather interests everybody---look at the coverage of
hurricanes and tornados and earthquakes, to say nothing of the recent
heatwave in Europe---you would imagine a fleet of reporters would
have jumped on this remark with both feet.
Didn't really happen.
Doesn't take a genius to figure out that if Cohen was being serious,
the US military was and is up to its own ears in climate control.
And electromagnetic waves? That phrase alone should have set off
alarm bells from one end of the US media establishment to the other.
It had long been speculated that this was the frontier of WMDs…and
here was a sitting secretary of defense asserting that these weapons
were real and were being deployed.
Hello?
Follow-up, anyone?
It's "a story of the century" just sitting there.
Plenty of disasters one could ask questions about. Including the
recent blackout in the US.
I spoke, off the record, with several reporters from major US papers.
They all said, basically, "It's too hard to find more facts."
That's it?
That's it---from their tired point of view.
You might punch in "Tom Bearden" on a search engine, or "weather
control." You'll find a lot more.
Of course, there is no overwhelming public demand for more info,
because the story has been squelched from the beginning. And the
public tends to think, "If it wasn't on TV, then whoever is talking
about it must be a nutcase."
Think about a few more implications of Cohen's remarks. If
electromagnetic waves are on the table as workable WMDs, we have to
admit that the technology we know about is only a fraction of what
exists. What else is out there we don't know about?
Now, if you were the CIA or some other clandestine office of lies,
wouldn't you want to insert plants in various groups for the purpose
of telling wild lies about futuristic technology? To muddy the
waters? To make people think ALL such talk is fomented by crazy
people?
Of course you would.
I recently did a radio interview on a small station in California. We
spoke about the blackout. And I was asked for some reason to believe
that electromagnetic weapons could have taken down the northeastern
grid in August. I cite the above remark by Cohen. There is a reason.
The technology exists.
Of course, for national security reasons, the Pentagon maintains we
don't have a right to know anything. Even though CLIMATE and WEATHER
are everywhere all the time.
That's like saying, "You don't have a right to know what's in the
water."
"You don't have a right to know what we're spraying from planes and
why."
The last president who challenged the Pentagon was Eisenhower.
However, his famous warning about the military-industrial complex was
uttered as he went out the door of the White House into private life.
Pathetic, really.
Now, you might think that Cohen, in 1997, was just making up a non-
existent threat to justify a bigger Pentagon budget. But before you
hop on that bandwagon, consider this: of all the statements he could
have released, for the same purpose, why go there? Why discuss what
most people would ordinarily consider a wacky subject? Why let that
particular cat out of the bag?
One effect of 9/11 has been the curtailment of a lot of anti-Pentagon
sentiment. The Pentagon---who, against all rules of procedure, did
not scramble jets to go up and take a look at the hijacked
airliners---made out VERY well from 9/11.
If the controlled press never made a big deal about no scrambled
jets, you can imagine how much interest it has in weapons that
control the weather and instigate "natural" disasters.
What about academia? If you want to have some fun, start checking out
large universities, and where many of their most prized research
contracts come from. The Pentagon (not big football programs) is
responsible for the swelling of college infrastructures.
Your federal government at work, day in and day out.
If you really think that the outcome of the next presidential
election is going to affect any of this, you need a brain transplant.
