Alex talks with Dr. Nick Begich, co-author of Angels Don't Play This HAARP. Begich has pursued independent research in the sciences and politics for most of his adult life. He received Doctor of Medicine (Medicina Alternitiva), honoris causa, for independent work in health and political science, from The Open International University for Complementary Medicines, Colombo, Sri Lanka, in November 1994. Begich has served as an expert witness and speaker before the European Parliament. He has spoken on various issues for groups representing citizen concerns, statesmen and elected officials, scientists and others. Begich is also the author of Earth Rising II: The Betrayal of Science, Society and the Soul with the late James Roderick, and Controlling the Human Mind: The Technologies of Political Control or Tools for Peak Performance. Washington's Blog ( at: www.washingtonsblog.com/2011/01/humans-have-been-modifying-weather-for.html ) Jan 5, 2011 Weather modification is a well-known endeavor. For example, governments have been seeding clouds (at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding ) for decades to create more rain.And during warfare to create mud to slow the enemy's ability to use roads. As the Guardian reported (at: www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2001/sep/24/weather.climatechange ) in 2001: During the Vietnam war, the Americans launched Project Popeye, a secret mission to seed the tops of monsoon clouds and trigger phenomenal downpours that would wash away the Ho Chi Minh Trail used for ferrying supplies. For five years Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos were sprayed during the monsoons, and military intelligence claimed that rainfall was increased by a third in some places. It only came to an end in March 1971 when [Washington Post] journalist Jack Anderson exposed the project and caused such a public furor that the UN general assembly approved a universal treaty banning environmental warfare. But the US air force planners recently came up with new proposals to launch new weather weapons. Instead of silver-iodide, the idea is to shower fine particles of heat-absorbing carbon over clouds to trigger localised flooding and bog down troops and their equipment. Lasers on aircraft would also trigger lightning onto enemy aircraft, whilst other lasers could be fired at fog to clear a path over enemy targets on the ground. Whether or not they work, past experiences tell us to be wary of tampering with the weather. In 1947, meteorologists tried to kill off a dying hurricane out at sea by seeding the clouds. The following day, the hurricane suddenly gathered strength, swung round and hit Savannah, Georgia causing extensive damage. The weather boffins were so rattled by the disaster it was not until August 1969 that they dared try again. When Hurricane Debbie was 700 miles out at sea, they flew three seeding missions around its eye, where tropical storms are at their most intense, but the results were mixed -- with each seeding the hurricane's winds were reduced and each time they picked up again. Interestingly, U.S. weather modification efforts during the Vietnam war were revealed as part of the Pentagon Papers. As the Washington Post reported (at: pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost_historical/access/99678438.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&date=Jul+2%2C+1972&author=By+Victor+CohnWashington+Post+Staff+Writer&pub=The+Washington+Post%2C+Times+Herald+%281959-1973%29&edition=&startpage=C1&desc=Weather+War%3A+A+Gathering+Storm) on July 2, 1972: Indochina -- by the evidence of a long-ignored passage in the Pentagon Papers -- has been a test battleground, the site of purposeful rain-making along the Ho Chi Minh trails. Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-R.I.) is prominent among members of Congress who believe it has become a reality. "There is very little doubt in my mind," he says. Rep. Gilbert Gude (R-Md.) states: "There's no doubt in my mind that it's going on in Vietnam." "I think there's no doubt rain-making was used in Laos on the trail," says a Senate committee aide wee versed in defense affairs. It is a "successful" pre-1967 use which is documented in the "senator Gravel" version of the Pentagon papers. In late February, 1967, this document discloses the Joint Chiefs of Staff prepared a list of "alternative strategies" for President Johnson. One, titled "Laos Operations", read: "Continue at present plus Operation Pop Eye to reduce trafficability along infiltration routes ... authorization required to implement phase of weather modification process previously successfully tested and evaluated in same area.
