(The following comes with a considerable ‘bullshit’ warning…) Are we seeing the beginning of what we could term “the weather wars”? Are hurricanes Katrina and Rita but the latest examples of these developments, instead of just being “natural” phenomena? According to a Sept. 11, 2004 article by former Lt. Col. Thomas Bearden (also a theoretical physicist) of the U.S. Army, there has been research for decades on some form of ‘weather modification technology’ based on scalar (hyperdimensional) physics developed by the KGB in a program initiated shortly after WWII. And now thanks to the FSB/KGB and the Yakuza/Aum Shinrikyo, we are now in the middle of the “final preparation phase”. Yes, the Yakuza and Aum Shinrikyo. Here are some excerpts from Bearden’s article: “The new superweapons were developed, produced, manned, and operated by the KGB itself, and were never placed in the hands of the regular Russian armed forces. Speaking to the Presidium in 1960, Khrushchev referred to the forthcoming scalar interferometer weapons with the following statement: "We have a new weapon  just within the portfolio of our scientists, so to speak  so powerful that, if unrestrainedly used, it could wipe out all life on earth." The large Soviet strategic scalar interferometers were deployed and became operational in April 1963  a bit too late for Khrushchev to use and counter the U.S. confrontation in the Cuban Missile Crisis of latter 1962. However, the first operational weapon was used to destroy the U.S.S. Thresher nuclear submarine underwater and on maneuvers off the East Coast of the United States, in April 1963. Thereby Khrushchev demonstrated the power of his new weapons over one of the major three elements of the strategic military nuclear firepower of the United States. Extension to the other two elements  ICBMs and strategic bombers  was obvious.” … “With the collapse of the old Soviet Union’s economy, by the end of 1989 the Russian financial situation was grim. By courtesy of the Russian Mafia { } which works directly for the FSB/KGB, a rogue Japanese group consisting of the Yakuza { } and Aum Shinrikyo { } was conducted to Russia in latter 1989, met with the KGB, and leased some of those large KGB strategic scalar interferometers on site in Russia { }. The down payment was $900 million U.S. in gold bullion, and the lease is rumored to be some $1 billion per year. The Yakuza and Aum Shinrikyo then assigned teams to man those superweapon sites and begin weather engineering operations against the United States and other targets. The Aum Shinrikyo even set up a small university in Russia where the energetics theory and technology could be taught to the rogue Japanese teams by the KGB scientists. The rogue Japanese teams underwent extensive training and in 1990 they began operating these large strategic interferometers { } worldwide, including performing extensive weather engineering operations, directly under the supervision of the FSB/KGB. The use of the Yakuza and its vast resources worldwide was thus incorporated into the FSB/KGB planning and coordination for the coming destruction of the United States and the Western world.” … “So in early 1990, the weather engineering operations over North America were assumed from the FSB/KGB by the Yakuza/Aum Shinrikyo teams, and operations continued with the Yakuza's leased giant scalar interferometers. The weather engineering against the United States continues today under the rogue Japanese teams on site in Russia, with direct FSB/KGB supervision. In 2004 we have entered the 2-year "final preparation phase". These operations have been intensified and will continue to be intense, wreaking great economic damage. Hurricanes Charlie, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, etc. have been no exception to the Yakuza weather engineering, which included directly influencing and controlling each hurricane's power and behavior, as well as directing its course and speed so as to choose its targeting path. Indeed, Ivan did a 180 degree turn, and Jeanne did a 360 degree loop before reaching Florida, demonstrating the degree of control available. Meteorologists do recognize periods of increased or decreased hurricane activity for various reasons, but they do not consider deliberate human induction of hurricanes or human control over their direction, power, and progress. Indeed, in latter March of 2004, Hurricane Catarina -- the first-ever recorded hurricane in the South Atlantic--formed and came ashore in Brazil on March 28 with 90 mph winds, doing substantial damage. So while the conventional wisdom is that hurricanes cannot form (naturally) in the South Atlantic; this one did and "broke all the records". It appears to have been a "deliberate probe" by the Yakuza: Produce and drive ashore a hurricane where the textbooks state one is impossible, to test whether Western governments and scientists recognize the artificial weather engineering . The answer, of course, is that -- as expected -- the West did not recognize its importance, or that it was a deliberate "stimulus." Western meteorologists and governments simply shrugged off Hurricane Catarina as an interesting little phenomenon but of no great concern.” … And then he goes into the physics: “In the past we have used the phrase “scalar electromagnetics” and “scalar interferometry” {13} to describe the longitudinal EM wave transmitters used in these interferometer weapons. Tesla did not originate the term, nor did he originate scalar interferometry, although he had indeed stumbled onto longitudinal EM waves and what can only be called force-free precursor engineering { }. Quoting Tesla { }: "...I showed that the universal medium is a gaseous body in which only longitudinal pulses can be propagated, involving alternating compressions and expansions similar to those produced by sound waves in the air. Thus, a wireless transmitter does not emit Hertz waves which are a myth, but sound waves in the ether, behaving in every respect like those in the air, except that, owing to the great elastic force and extremely small density of the medium, their speed is that of light.” If one replaces the words “gaseous body” with the modern term “virtual particle flux (active virtual state gas) of the vacuum”, one sees Tesla’s words in agreement with the basic view of the modern active vacuum. Discovery of EM longitudinal waves  which actually comprise all normal EM waves, fields, and potentials { , }  leads to a much more fundamental electrodynamics, including sophisticated altering of ordinary EM waves, potentials, and fields to contain hidden internal Whittaker field vectors and their dynamics.” I’m not going to claim I understand any of the physics, and I’m not going to go into whether any of this is bullshit or not, at least not yet. Still, going to this thread may be of interest for those willing to go into these issues. However, the plot thickens, because apparently former secretary of defense William Cohen may have alluded to these developments in a testimony in 1997 concerning “Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and U.S. Strategy”. This is the whole relevant paragraph in full. ”Well, it points out the nature of the threat. It turned out to be a false threat under the circumstances. But as we've learned in the intelligence community, we had something called -- and we have James Woolsey here to perhaps even address this question about phantom moles. The mere fear that there is a mole within an agency can set off a chain reaction and a hunt for that particular mole which can paralyze the agency for weeks and months and years even, in a search. The same thing is true about just the false scare of a threat of using some kind of a chemical weapon or a biological one. There are some reports, for example, that some countries have been trying to construct something like an Ebola Virus, and that would be a very dangerous phenomenon, to say the least. Alvin Toeffler has written about this in terms of some scientists in their laboratories trying to devise certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic-specific so that they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races; and others are designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops. Others 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 efforts, and that's why this is so important.” Adding to this conspiratorial scenario, just recently a bill has been passed that pertains significantly to these developments. In fact, the point of this bill is to “to establish the Weather Modification Operations and Research Board, and for other purposes.” However, I don’t see this Act mentioning anything about weather modification as military weapon (though in any case proper forecasting technology would be essential to anticipate such an attack). Oh, well, the search for the smoking gun continues… Speaking of smoking gun, we have courtesy of Richard Hoagland in his website (enterprisemission.com, a website that needs to be taken with huge bags of salt) what he claims to be a smoking gun. Apparently, a radar picture (see his blog) proves the interference of an unexplained anomaly (the concentric ‘radar bands’ to the north-east and south of New Orleans) that he believes was used to guide Katrina to its ultimate target with the intention of causing damage not only to the city but to the energy and economic infrastructure in the region (think oil refineries and shipping through the Mississippi). The thing is, this radar picture, according to Hoagland, was taken 12 days before Katrina hit the Louisiana coastline (the picture is based on Greenwich mean time), and as another picture taken on the same day as the radar picture apparently shows, there are no clouds or anything else that could explain those anomolous bands in those particular areas. I don’t know, I just don’t know… Ok, to abstract all of this and look at it from a more general context, I’ll quote some excerpts that I came across thanks to the above-mentioned thread that I found very interesting: “The aether medium the nineteenth century hypothesized as a universal substance supporting the propagation of radiation through space served as a cultural screen for the anticipatory or hallucinatory projection of communication technologies. The late-classical doctrine of the aether was a conceptual preparation for the theory of general relativity, but it was also a profound occasion for visionary scientisms, providing a textual if not a substantial medium between material sciences, spiritual systems, and science fictions. … However, Lawrence's encounter with Einstein's popular exposition of relativity appears to have affected his subsequent writings, compounded, moreover, by his further encounter in 1924 with P. D. Ouspensky's Tertium Organum: A Key to the Enigmas of the World. The physicist Einstein and the occult philosopher Ouspensky both offered a cosmological discourse of the "fourth dimension" along with a critique of the concept of the aether. The new physical currency Einstein gave to the concept of the fourth dimension, along with the renewed philosophical currency provided simultaneously by Tertium Organum, moved Lawrence to refashion his vitalism through dimensional rather than aethereal tropes. But the luminiferous and electromagnetic aethers remain embedded in his description of the fourth dimension as a medium for the propagation and reception of vital "sparks". The metamorphoses of the electromagnetic field that accompanied a geometrical revolution climaxed by the local and universal relativities of Einstein have arrived in Lawrence at a moment finely poised between doctrinal obsolescence and mythopoetic stability.” [Bruce Clarke - Aether and Phonograph: D. H. Lawrence Fourth Dimension] And: “I examine several concepts of the fourth dimension--four in all--with which, at various points in her career, Gertrude Stein came into contact. The first two may be termed, respectively, the mystical and the intellectual fourth dimensions. (These are the principal variants of the spatial fourth dimension, or fourth dimension of space, whose broad significance in modern art and spiritual thought has been compellingly demonstrated by Linda Henderson in her literally ground-breaking study, The Fourth Dimension and Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art (1985), as well as in Duchamp in Context (1998) and in articles on, among others, Edward Carpenter, Max Weber, Guillaume Apollinaire, and P.D. Ouspensky.) The penultimate version of the fourth dimension is of course the temporal, or Einsteinian, one--the ultimate dimension of spacetime. Mystical, intellectual, and temporal dimensions are all proper fourth dimensions, in the sense that when the fourth dimension was discussed in association with the arts in the first half of the twentieth century, one or another, or some combination of these, was intended. To these three, I propose adding a fourth--a neurophysiological dimension, which, although I can find traces of it in the others, was surely not regarded at the time as a fourth dimension; hence, in this context it may only be described as such improperly. Yet I shall be arguing that it is this sense which corresponds most closely to Stein's own understanding of the "xtra consciousness" to which, in a 1934 letter to Ellery Sedgwick, editor of the Altlantic Monthly, she attributed her astonishing literary achievements. In any case, an improper description seems quite appropriate with regard to Stein's deliberately errant compositional practices. In addition to discussing each of these aspirants to the title of the fourth dimension, I have appended an abbreviated reading of Stein's 1912 "Portrait of Mabel Dodge at the Villa Curonia" to my remarks on the mystical fourth dimension. Finally, at the end of the talk, I will say something about what all this hyperdimensionality has to do with interdisciplinarity.” [Steven Meyer - Hyperdimensionality or Interdisciplinarity? Gertrude Stein and the 4th Dimension] Nevertheless, in the end, I can’t say I’m convinced one way or another as to what is “really going on” as far as this “matter” (weather manipulation for military reasons) is concerned, and I won’t be either until I have fully looked into the facts and determined the credibility of all parties involved (which would take more time and research). I have just decided to present all of this because I felt it was of interest (come on, if anything it is at least that, in the sense that it would make for a great movie, toch?) and didn’t feel any part could be easily dismissed without exposing some attachment to a particular world-view prematurely deemed to hold all the answers. After all, I’m not even sure what Nature is supposed to refer to, in the sense of what is “naturally” possible or not. To quote from an essay I recently handed in: “Let’s say we are playing an advanced version of a cross between SimCity and The Sims; let’s call it SimHistoricalEarth. You see the vulnerability of coastal areas like New Orleans, and the amount of effort and resources it will take to protect these areas from processes you no longer can control. What do you do? Divert valuable and increasingly scarce resources to run against the tides of inevitability? For whatever your decisions – and remember, you are thinking globally here – the point of the game, following the Sim versions, is to remain in the game for as long as you can, or until you quit out of boredom. In other words it is about survival, and you are the one running the shots from an omnipotent point of view. In this scenario dealing with impending ecological catastrophes, regardless of what you do, due to your failure to act beforehand – and who knows what the consequences could have been had you acted differently – the fact remains that you will lose many vulnerable areas like Venice and Amsterdam… and that is only the tip of the iceberg. “Those were the years after the icecaps had melted because of the greenhouse gases, and the oceans had risen to drown out so many cities along all the shorelines of the world. Amsterdam, Venice, New York, forever lost. Millions of people became displaced, climate became chaotic. Hundreds of millions of people starved in poorer countries. Elsewhere, a high degree of prosperity survived when most governments in the developed world introduced legal sanctions to strictly license pregnancies, which is why robots, which were never hungry and who did not consume resources beyond those of their first manufacture, were so essential an economic link in the chain mail of society.” With this quote we find ourselves in the beginning of Spielberg’s (and Kubrick’s) AI. After the narrator calmly relates where humanity has foolishly positioned itself, the first scenes deal with a debate among the inventors of the robots that are quickly taking over many of the tasks once held by humans, and the question posed by the chief inventor, Professor Hobby, is whether we can create a robot that can love. “Female Colleague: It occurs to me with all this animus existing against Mechas today it isn't just a question of creating a robot that can love. Isn't the real conundrum, can you get a human to love them back? Professor Hobby: Ours will be a perfect child caught in a freezeframe. Always loving, never ill, never changing. With all the childless couples yearning in vain for a license our Mecha will not only open up a new market but fill a great human need. Yet other questions for us, the audience, living in the dawn of the 21st century, are equally valid, if not urgent. What is a human? What are the characteristics naturally associated with humanity? What is love? No longer can we pose these as simple concerns that we can relegate to science-fiction scripts, for the advent of cloning and our continuous research into artificial intelligence have forced these matters onto our doorsteps, along with the continuation of environmental changes, despite the willful ignorance of the majority to deal with these realities. Furthermore, the reality and tragedy of what is occurring in New Orleans lies in the fact that the chaotic images that ‘shocked the world’ are not isolated, and will not remain secluded to that part of the globe (and population…). Eventually a whole range of factors will intertwine in a juncture that will strip us of every illusion of civility and expose whatever ‘natural’ tendencies we’ve grown to associate with the human predicament (think about Spielberg’s latest, War of the Worlds, where the greatest and most visceral threat turns out to be other desperate and panic-stricken people). As Latour rightfully pointed out in an interview in the UvA Cimedart , freedom is no longer about choosing who you will go to bed with, but about the prize of oil. Something I strongly agree with, for at the end of the day, what is the meaning of the freedoms and all else we take for granted today (democracy, order, choice, etc.) when the prize of oil has sky-rocketed to 100-200 dollars a barrel, thereby incapacitating our cars (mobility) and economies (welfare)? Or when we wake up one day and find ourselves surrounded by water, with no one to help, dwindling food supplies, and hostile ‘neighbors’ willing to do anything to feed their own families? To the question of what is to be done, Latour in the beginning of his book gives us one answer: Political ecology! Considering that we already live in a world littered with theme parks, Centreparcs, and even an Ocean Dome (the world’s largest indoor water park), to which so many have taken refuge, pretty much giving up on ‘reality’, it at least is a start. But will it be enough? By the end of AI, it has become clear that the ecological crises have taken their toll on humanity, and all that is left are advanced versions of those robots we built to serve our own needs. Yet, miraculously enough, the seeds of humanity had been transplanted onto those ‘unnatural’ mechanical beings, for despite their physiology, it was very clear that an essence of humanity existed in them, simply displayed by their manner of communication (consciousness), but most importantly, their emotional capacities, and their very human drive to understand whence they came from (self-consciousness, emotions and spirituality) . “The greatest single human gift - the ability to chase down our dreams.” Hopefully once we are able to get out of the Cave we still find ourselves in, we will be able to understand ourselves better, and maybe answer that perennial question that has followed us since the advent of consciousness: Who are we? “Female Colleague: But you haven't answered my question. If a robot could genuinely love a person, what responsibility does that person hold toward that Mecha in return? It's a moral question, isn't it? Professor Hobby: The oldest one of all. But in the beginning, didn't God create Adam to love him?”
