Santa Barbara County Water Agency posts notice of Weather Modification plans in local newspaper

NOTICE OF INTENTION WEATHER MODIFICATION PROGRAM THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY WATER AGENCY HEREBY GIVES NOTICE OF INTENTION TO CONDUCT A WEATHER MODIFICATION PROGRAM NATURE AND PURPOSE: The purpose of the project is to increase rainfall to help alleviate deficiencies of water supplies in Santa Barbara County. Clouds would be seeded by the dispersal of Silver Iodide (AgI). Two possible modes of seeding, air based and ground based, would be used. LOCATION OF PURPOSE: Project operations could be conducted during the period between November 15 and April 15, for each year, 2011-2012 through 2015-2016. Airborne seeding operations would utilize air space over Santa Barbara County, portions of San Luis Obispo County as well as the Pacific Ocean immediately west of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. Ground based seeding operations would be conducted from the Santa Ynez Mountains, the Casmalia Hills and the San Rafael Mountains. The target areas for seeding operations are the watersheds behind Cachuma and Gibraltar reservoirs on the Santa Ynez River as well as Twitchell reservoir on the Cuyama River. LICENSEE: The project would be operated and supervised by a licensed weather modification consultant. PROJECT INIFORMATION: Information on the proposed project may be reviewed at: Santa Barbara County Water Agency 620 West Foster Road Santa Maria CA 93455 (805) 739-8781 Contact: Mr. Dennis Gibbs, P.H. Senior Hydrologist November 18, 2011 6965931

The following comes from the website of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation

Currently, cloud-seeding projects designed to increase rainfall from convective cloud towers are conducted in nearly 31 million acres of Texas (or almost one-fifth of the state’s land area). In administering the Texas Weather Modification Act (enacted by the Texas Legislature in 1967), TDLR’s weather modification program issues licenses and permits for these projects, many of which have been in existence since 2000. The projects use specialized aircraft and sophisticated weather radar systems, operated by skilled meteorologists, at sites near Amarillo, Plains, Pecos, San Angelo, and Pleasanton.

An article from the Guardian a couple of years ago talked about the mammoth weather modification projects that have been happening in China….

The Chinese air force claimed today that the biggest weather modification operation in the country’s history cleared the skies over Tiananmen Square just in time for the National Day parade.

I write this post under gorgeously azure skies. Instead of the dull haze I have grown used to in Beijing over the past few years, the light is so sharp that it almost hurts my eyes.

The transformation is so dramatic it is eerie. When I flew into Beijing yesterday, the city was shrouded in what looked like a thick smog.

An article posted on arabianbusiness.com talked about the extraordinary weather modification projects that have been sponsored by the Abu Dhabi government….

Scientists working for the Abu Dhabi government created more than 50 rainstorms in Al Ain in July and August of 2010, during the peak of the emirate’s summer months.

The rains are part of a secret $11m project, reportedly commissioned by HH Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, which used ionisers to generate storms, the UK’s Sunday Times said.

It is thought to be the first time the team had produced man-made rain from otherwise clear skies.

According to the report, scientists used large ionisers, which resemble lampshades, to generate fields of negatively charged particles. That in turn creates cloud formation, leading to rain.

Over 122 days through the summer months, the emitters were switched on 74 times when atmospheric humidity reached the required level of 30 percent or more.

During that time, Al AIn experienced rainfall on 52 occasions on days when the country’s own weather service had predicted no clouds and no rain.

Hypocrite

Book review: Olivia Goes to Venice by Ian Falconer

Ok, I’ve never read this book and I have no intention of doing so… except for this page:

What kind of monster would put this police state indoctrination into a book for children?  I can’t figure out whether this is a coping mechanism or actual propaganda, but regardless, saying it’s pleasing for children to be groped by strangers is sick.  “Olivia was scared,” maybe, but PLEASED? Is this what we want to teach them, that they should enjoy being groped by pigs at the airport?  I think it’s time for an old fashioned book burning.

Look, metal detectors were one thing. Fine. I don’t want to be on a plane if someone starts shooting or sets off a grenade.  But NOBODY is going to be able to hijack a plane with a damned box cutter. The 9/11 box cutter story is a lie.  (please see my other 9/11 posts) There is no reason to be groping children.  You realize that all this groping is because of that feeble box cutter story?  You can not hijack a plane with box cutters.  You would get your ass pummeled by a bunch of passengers and crew who would rather be cut than die.  Why would pilots allow some dudes into the cockpit with box cutters?  Why don’t pilots just carry guns, and we can end all this stupidity right now?

I’ll tell you why, because it has nothing to do with airline safety.  It’s all about conditioning us to be slaves so we’ll give up all our rights and march into the concentration camps without resisting.  So be expecting more convenient “lapses” in security, because people are getting sick of being groped and x-rayed and they know who the real terrorists are.

Olivia Goes to Venice [Hardcover]

Ian Falconer

Congress declares: Pizza counts as a vegetable

Make Mine Freedom (Animation from 1948)

“Law of Attraction” and “The Secret” are elitist disinformation

Anyone who’s been involved with independent journalism for a while has seen a lot of disinfo artists come and go over the years.  We can all agree no one is going to achieve a well rounded and informed political view via the corporate media, but the alternative Internet and alternative media are also awash with corporate public relations and government psych warfare agents, propaganda sock puppets and the like, so discernment is absolutely essential to not be led down the wrong path.

Unfortunately there’s a big steaming piece of disinfo that I thought we put to bed which is making the rounds again, called the Law of Attraction.   You may have seen the video called The Secret on YouTube, or read the book.  I had a few friends send me links so I watched it and found it to be rife with faulty logic, but it goes far beyond just being incorrect.  This time someone sent me an audio series called Your Wish is Your Command, which is The Secret dressed up in a more conspiratorial tone with some references to secret societies and elite agendas,  but essentially the same idea.

The premise of the Law of Attraction is this:  Whatever you think about in your mind will manifest itself in reality.  We’re not just talking about the very real and profound effect a person’s mental attitude can have on their life, health, and others’ perception of them.  This takes it several steps further into the realm of superstition, occultism, magic, and general hokus pokus. Thru some unexplained cosmic force, if you visualize things in your mind they will come true, and of course if you don’t visualize things this will cost you dearly, because you’re obviously not visualizing correctly.  They apply this to any and all aspects of life, including seemingly random events.  Don’t have a billion dollars? It’s cause you’re not visualizing it.  Hair falling out?  You must be visualizing baldness.  Cancer? Your fault.  Meteor fall out of the sky and crash into your house? You manifested that by your negative thinking.

I can’t stress enough the importance of having a positive attitude.  Self-confidence and charisma go a long way in this world, and on the flip side of that, why should anyone trust you or want to work with you or be your friend, if you yourself don’t think you’re worth it?  But let’s face it, attitude is not everything.  The universe does not revolve around you.  Someone born into poverty with a 75 IQ who suffered lead and mercury poisoning as a child is not going to be solving the world’s energy problems and become a billionaire tycoon, no matter how hard they visualize it. Forrest Gump is just a movie.  If a bolt of lightning comes out of the sky and strikes you dead, it’s no more your own fault than it is God’s fault.  The Law of Attraction is an elitist, superstitious blame-the-victim mentality that only a person who’s had their life handed to them on a silver platter could come up with.

One reason the elite have piles of money and power is because over generations, their families have set up a scam we call “fractional reserve banking” and leveraged this power to enslave the underclass.  Class privilege is a self-perpetuating system, partly because children and families who do not receive proper care and nutrition suffer genetic damage which reduces their intellect, and their children’s intellect.  It’s possible for someone to be an exception to this rule, but overall the system is set up to preserve class boundaries and it’s very difficult for a serf to rise to nobility.  The highest priority of elite power is to preserve the power within their own families, which gives rise to institutionalized class warfare like eugenics and fractional reserve banking- both scientifically designed to preserve and concentrate power in the hands of the ruling class. While some small percentage of people can rise to wealth and power in this system from nothing, everyone can’t.  It’s a numbers game.  Not everyone can win the lottery.

This is the real secret, not some magical method of visualizing and mainfesting desires they use in their super-human elite brains. Their power exists because it was handed to them, not because they magically made it appear by knowing The Secret.  You are enslaved by a financial system that was built specifically for this purpose, not merely because you see yourself as a slave.

So instead of blaming yourself for lack of visualization skills, visualize this: Work hard, discipline yourself, have a good attitude, and continue to fight for your freedom and your children’s freedom. Sitting there visualizing a billion dollars or a beautiful husband or wife is only a small part of manifesting those desires.

How to spot disinformation, or “The Seven Laws of Bullsh!t”

1- Anything that hypes itself up in long scrolling web pages, without getting right to the point is probably disinfo, or trying to sell you something.

2- Be skeptical of anyone who emphasizes the truthiness of their message over the actual content. Facts and logic speak for themselves.

3- Repetition is the most basic form of mind control. Repeating something over and over does not make it true.

4- If someone ridicules you right out of the gates for being skeptical, be even more skeptical. If an idea makes logical sense, there should be no need for insults and ridicule to get the point across.

5- Rat poison is 99% tasty food.

6- Experiments should be repeatable. Evidence is not evident unless you can see/hear/touch/read it yourself.

7- Journalism that fails to cite sources should be taken as a grain of salt.
