Rachael 05/10/2005 10:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | U.S. WEATHER MODIFICATION BILL : CHEMTRAILS R´ US. U.S. WEATHER MODIFICATION BILL -
You´ve read the "conspiracy theories" about weather modification, right? Chemtrails, HAARP, giant Tesla coils on ships in the oceans, Star Wars, etc. When you mention this stuff on blogs and lists the so-called "experts" come out and deny the existence of such activities and blow off the proponents as kooks. Apparently one of the kooks is Kay Bailey Hutchinson.
The following bill is being considered by the US Senate to create a Weather Modification Board. If enacted, and it likely will be, the board will be established to begin operations on October 1, 2005. That´s this year.
Read the bill below and tell me if you want the government to have a Weather Modification Board. I certainly don´t.

Um, It does not mention, let alone proove ["Chemtrails, HAARP, giant Tesla coils on ships in the oceans, Star Wars, etc."]. Also, this is being done in public, in full view. You may or may not agree with what is being proposed, but linking this to the Chemtrail "issue" is misleading. Cheers, |
