Before a total tally on the body count from last week’s deadly flood in Texas has been completed, many Americans are raging against the machine, claiming a government conspiracy to manipulate weather patterns.

Just days after America faced the Independence Day flood, prominent political voices were quick to proclaim that the weather event was the result of scientific tampering. In other words, over 100 Americans were “murdered” as opposed to killed during the storm.

MAGA congressional candidate Kandiss Taylor is facing backlash after spreading ‘conspiracy theories’ about the deadly flash floods along the Guadalupe River in Texas. Taylor, who is running to represent Georgia in the House of Representatives, posted on X: “Fake weather. Fake hurricanes. Fake flooding. Fake. Fake. Fake.”

“This isn’t just ‘climate change.’ It’s cloud seeding, geoengineering, & manipulation,“ she added. “If fake weather causes real tragedy, that’s murder. Pray. Prepare. Question the narrative.”

Meanwhile, U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who once blamed the 2018 California wildfires on “Jewish Space Lasers,” says she plans to introduce a bill that would make weather modification a felony in U.S. “I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity,” she posted on X. “It will be a felony offence.”

Greene said she had been researching weather modification “for months” and that her bill bans individuals from practicing geoengineering or cloud seeding, and imposes a $100,000 fine and five-year prison sentence.

The Critical Thinking Dispatch echoed Greene’s grim, conspiratorial views when it wrote, “The deadly Independence Day floods weren’t natural – they were engineered. During this catastrophic event, the Guadalupe River rose nearly 30 feet in under an hour. At the same time, some locations endured approximately four months’ worth of rain in just four hours. How could this happen? The answer lies in a sinister truth: weather warfare has been deployed against American citizens.”

Much of the current controversy on geoengineering technologies focuses on the political lightning rod known as ‘climate change,’ where Democrats are much more susceptible to the belief that human activities are responsible for burning down the planet than are the Republicans. Thus, whenever a major weather catastrophe occurs, like the one in Texas, Democrats will scream in one voice that human beings must trade in their carbon monoxide spewing vehicles for electric cars, while Republicans scoff at such apocalyptic conclusions.

Although the field of geoengineering may seem like a very modern development, it has actually been going on for almost 150 years. For example, the first patent describing a method of producing rainfall was issued to Louis Gettmann back in 1891. In 1920, Paul Weiss patented a process and device for creating intense artificial clouds and fogs, and in 1924 Charles Miller created a mist dispersing compound. More than 200 patents were issued for weather modification and geoengineering technologies between 1890 and 2014. Since 2014, information on issued patents in this category has not been disclosed.

Thus far, the application of these and many other geoengineering technologies have been reserved for rather benign things, such as ensuring clear weather during national celebrations. For example, in China, before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in 2008, it rained on the outskirts of Beijing, and during the ceremony itself, but there were no clouds over the capital. In addition, fog dissipation is carried out in aviation to improve the safety of aircraft landing, in agriculture to increase precipitation and increase yields.

According to an academic study entitled “Impact of Weather Change technologies on global Security,” Olena Shevchenko and Kira Horiecheva revealed that “the only confirmed military use of climate change technology to date is Operation Popeye by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. As a result, a threefold increase in precipitation and the duration of the rainy season were recorded.

The authors concluded that “this operation showed the danger of using technologies for influencing the weather.”

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association says it does not modify the weather, nor does it fund, participate in or oversee cloud seeding or any other weather modification activities. NOAA’s objective is to “better understand and predict Earth’s systems, from the bottom of the seafloor to the surface of the sun.” NOAA is required by law to track weather modification activities by others, including cloud seeding, but has no authority to regulate those activities.

But given the extreme skepticism that the American people hold for their government institutions, such denials will only serve to reinforce the ‘conspiracy theories’.

At the same time, there is already a large body of evidence that government institutions, in cooperation with academia and the world of business are actively developing and experimenting with geoengineering technologies. In fact, just google Microsoft founder Bill Gates’ name into the search field and it becomes clear that somebody is twisting the truth.

Gates is financially backing the development of sun-dimming technology that is aimed at reflecting sunlight out of Earth’s atmosphere, triggering a global cooling effect. The Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment, launched by Harvard University scientists, aims to examine this solution by spraying non-toxic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dust into the atmosphere — a sun-reflecting aerosol that may offset the effects of global warming.

Incredibly, none of the scientists involved in this experiment can say with any certainty what the results will be, a bit like when nuclear bombs were first tested. But some have voiced their worries with the tinkering of Earth’s atmosphere.

“There is no merit in this test except to enable the next step. You can’t test the trigger of a bomb and say ‘This can’t possibly do any harm’,” said Nicklas Hällström, director of the Swedish green think-tank WhatNext?
