Weather Warfare Begins over Vietnam: Operation Popeye, Motorpool, Intermediary, & Compatriot
Operation Popeye's weather warfare project was conducted from Thailand over Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam and was allegedly sponsored by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and CIA without the authorization of then Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird who said "we have never engaged in that type of activity [weather modification] over Northern Vietnam" in Congressional testimony. [1] The top secret weather modification operations were conducted by military WC-130 planes [2][3] and RF-4 jets [4] spraying ...
Project Stormfury Begins: the ESSA/Navy Hurricane Research and Modification Program (Aug 17, 1962 – 1983)
Project Stormfury - the ESSA/Navy hurricane research and modification program - will attempt to seed hurricanes massively and repeatedly, to learn whether the force of these storms can be diminished. The Project’s major goal this season is to repeat the eyewall-seeding experiments conducted in 1969, in the hope of confirming the results. Other experiments planned for the 1970 season include seeding of hurricane rain bands and ...

Project Highwater Begins: Experimental Release of Water in the Ionosphere resulted for radio disruption
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) The United States plans to launch its Saturn superrocket on a second test flight next Wednesday, and as a bonus experiment, to blow it up 63 miles high to determine what happens when 95 tons of water is sprayed in the icy ionosphere. Primary goal of the flight is to further test the propulsion system of the first stage, an eight-engine monster ...
President JFK’s UN Address on Weather Modification
“if the Soviets control space they can control earth, as in past centuries the nation that controlled the seas dominated the continents.” Senator John F. Kennedy agreed during the 1960 presidential campaign. [1][2] “To this end, we shall urge proposals extending the United Nations Charter to the limits of man’s exploration of the universe, reserving outer space for peaceful use, prohibiting weapons of mass destruction in space ...
Air Force Gives Palm Springs 2 Choices: Live with Trails or Move
“Let’s face it, men” said a crisp talking, star-studded general, “you’ll either have to live with the vapor trails or move the City of Palm Springs.” The resort area, it appears, is known as the “Palm Springs Intersection.” the freeway interchange of all West Coast aerial traffic. So, the city officials and civic leaders, in an apparently unanimous, unspoken agreement, decided that a peaceful coexistence with ...
US Navy Creates and Destroys Clouds Using Carbon Black
"We dropped carbon black suspended in liquid, over a track a mile long and produced a solid line of clouds one mile long," Dr. Florence Van Straten told a reporter. "When we dropped 1 1/2-pound dry packages of carbon black, we produced single clouds with each drop." The navy team seeded seven clouds with carbon, and dissipated each of them in from 21/2 to 20 minutes. "Each cloud turned ...
Great Smog of London (December 5-9) kills 6000
The Great Smog event that took place in London, UK in 1952 was the result of a mixture of factors. The main culprits were air pollution, unusually cold temperatures and windless days. This resulted in a dangerous accumulation of air pollutants, which in turn led to the smog. This is what London looked like during the smog event. Some 6000 Londoners perished as a result of ...
The U.S. Military Conducts Germ Warfare Experiments on Unsuspecting Citizens of San Francisco
For 25 years, the government’s involvement in biological warfare testing -- and its use of civilians as unwitting guinea pigs -- remained top-secret. It’s a secret that likely would've gone on indefinitely if not for the efforts of a savvy Newsweek reporter named Drew Fetherston. In November 1976, Fetherston exposed a number of biological tests performed in major cities by the Army and the CIA. Using ...
89 U.S. Cities were Being Fluoridated by 1950 with Industrial Waste Fluoride from ALCOA Despite No Evidence that it Reduced Tooth Decay
By 1950, 89 US cities were being fluoridated through the water supply, despite no credible evidence ever submitted that demonstrated that it reduced tooth decay (see 1937 entry), or did anything other than cause disease, misery, and death. By 1950, ALCOA, who had funded the research and falsified data to save millions in disposing of the poisonous chemical, was in a new line of business: selling ...
