Hurricane Sandy is being described as the “worst storm in 100 years” and will possibly mutate to super-storm status once it combines with a polar air mass over the eastern United States enabling it to cause widespread damage and chaos, but how convenient is the timing of this “natural” event in regards to the election? Is it possible that the storm is a contrived event designed to throw the election for Obama?

The reality of weather modification is no conspiracy theory.
Since before the 50′s, weather modification techniques have existed. In fact, the threat of “weather weapons” was so imminent that the United Nations felt it necessary to draft a treaty ensuring no nation would use this “new means of warfare” against one another. Why would the U.N. draft a treaty if weather modification was just a conspiracy theory?
The 1976 UN Weather Weapons Treaty defined “weather weapons” as follows: “[...] the term “environmental modification techniques” refers to any technique for changing – through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes–the dynamics, composition or structure of the Earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, or of outer space.”

Article I of the treaty states that each State Party “undertakes not to engage in military or any other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects as the means of destruction, damage or injury to any other State Party.”
Article III, however, makes the provision that weather weapons can be used if their applications are deemed “for peaceful purposes.”
Weather modification around the world.
In 2008, China removed the threat of rain during their Olympic opening ceremony in Beijing using 30 airplanes, 4,000 rocket launchers, 7,000 anti-aircraft guns and, according to the LA Times, “a technique that reduces the size of the raindrops, delaying the rain until the clouds move on.”
Earlier this year, we reported on Russia employing a form of weather modification when they used 10 aircraft to stave off clouds for their City Day celebration in Moscow. In 2008, it was reported that a man in Moscow had a chunk of cement fall on his house after it “failed to fragment when falling through the air” during a mission to clear the skies.
In 2005, a proposed U.S. Senate bill would have created a Weather Modification Operations and Research Board to promote further research into the area.
Also, earlier this year we reported on the massive $5 billion dollar price tag put on a program to spray sun-dimming particles into the upper atmosphere, a program put in motion to allegedly halt global warming. The program, known by a few under the moniker “chemtrails,” is widely speculated to already be underway.
For Obama, the possibility of a perfect storm catastrophe would undoubtedly leave thousands
in need of government assistance. Homes and lives would be in shambles and swarms would flock to FEMA for handouts, allowing Obama to grandstand over relief efforts.

Weather modification is a reality and our technological capabilities in the field have most certainly increased exponentially since the 1976 UN treaty. We could possibly be seeing the effects right before our eyes. One just needs to look outside on a clear day and see lines in the sky to realize that weather modification is already a part of our everyday lives.
2 November 2009 in China
Chinese weather scientists were embarrassingly caught out by a sudden cold snap yesterday.
They had decided to 'seed' clouds with chemicals to produce rain and ease a drought in Beijing.
The operation went exactly as they had hoped - except that temperatures dropped sharply and the precipitation fell as snow.
It kept going for half the day, blanketing the capital's streets and hitting air and road travel. It was the earliest snow in Beijing for ten years.

It was helped by temperatures as low as -2C (29 Fahrenheit) and strong winds from the north, Xinhua news agency reported.
'We won't miss any opportunity of artificial precipitation since Beijing is suffering from the lingering drought,' the report quoted Zhang Qiang, head of the Beijing Weather Modification Office, as saying at the end of last week.

Chinese meteorologists have for years been honing the technique of making rain by injecting special chemicals into clouds.
Although the technique often gets results, a drought in the north of the country has continued for over a decade.
Besides the snow, which the Beijing Evening News said was the earliest to hit the capital in 10 years, the cold weather and strong winds also delayed air travel from Beijing's Capital Airport.
BEIJING— It is yet another sinful and prideful attempt by man to triumph over God's creation. Ultimately these efforts will fail and cause untold hardship and misery for mankind.
Determined not to let anything spoil their party, organizers of the 2008 Summer Olympics said Wednesday that they will take control over the most unpredictable element of all -- the weather.
While China's Olympic athletes are getting ready to compete on the fields, its meteorologists are working the skies, attempting the difficult feat of making sure it doesn't rain on the Aug. 8 opening ceremonies.
"Our team is trained. Our preparations are complete," declared Wang Jianjie, a spokeswoman from the Beijing Meteorological Bureau, addressing a news conference at the headquarters of the Beijing organizing committee.
The Chinese are among the world's leaders in what is called "weather modification," but they have more experience creating rain than preventing it. In fact, the techniques are virtually the same.
Cloud-seeding is a relatively well-known practice that involves shooting various substances into clouds, such as silver iodide, salts and dry ice, that bring on the formation of larger raindrops, triggering a downpour. But Chinese scientists believe they have perfected a technique that reduces the size of the raindrops, delaying the rain until the clouds move on.
The weather modification would be used only on a small area, opening what would be in effect a meteorological umbrella over the 91,000-seat Olympic stadium. The $400-million stadium, nicknamed the "bird's nest" for its interlacing steel beams, has no roof.
"This is really a very complex process in terms of selecting the place and the time," said Wang Yubin, an engineer from the meteorological bureau. "Probably we will have to decide one day before or very close to the event."
Jeff Ruffalo, a public relations advisor to the Beijing Olympics, believes this is a first for the Summer Olympics, which in recent years have taken place in drier cities -- Athens, Sydney, Barcelona.
Summer is the rainy season in Northeast Asia. Originally, the Beijing Olympics were to open July 25, but meteorologists urged that the date be pushed back as late as possible. Still, the chances of rain in Beijing on Aug. 8 are close to 50%.
Training with the Olympics in mind, the meteorologists have been practicing their "rain mitigation" techniques since 2006. They have had a couple of dry runs, so to speak -- a China-Africa summit and a panda festival in Sichuan province, among others.
The Chinese have been tinkering with the weather since the late 1950s, trying to bring rains to the desert terrain of the northern provinces.
The bureau of weather modification was established in the 1980s and is now believed to be the largest in the world. It has a reserve army of 37,000 people -- most of them sort of weekend warriors who are called to duty during unusual droughts. The bureau has 30 aircraft, 4,000 rocket launchers and 7,000 antiaircraft guns, said Wang Guohe, director of weather modification for the Chinese Academy of Meteorology.
"We have the largest program in the world with the most people involved and the most equipment, but it is not really the most advanced," Wang said. That honor belongs to the Russians, who he says used sophisticated cloud-seeding in 1986 to prevent radioactive rain from the Chernobyl reactor accident from reaching Moscow.
Although many scientists dispute the effectiveness of weather modification, Wang insists that it has been successful in China on a limited scale.
