Chapter 48 postscript

"Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody lifts a finger." The old adage no longer holds water.Today, two superpowers have the ability to control the world's weather: the United States and Russia.Other countries are also frantically catching up, trying to follow suit. The quest to unravel the mysteries of the elements of nature, begun by Nikola Tesla in the late 19th century, including the transmission of electrical energy through space, has become a reality. The consequences are monumental: the weather can be harnessed, either as a boon or as a doomsday weapon. All the necessary elements are in place.

In 1969, the U.S. Patent Office issued a patent right for "the method of artificially injecting seawater vapor into the atmosphere to increase the success rate of rainfall". In 1971, a patent was issued to the Westinghouse Electric Company for its invention of a device for radiating the surface area of ​​a planet. In 1971, a patent was issued to the National Science Foundation for its invention of the Weather Improvement Act. In the early 1970s, the U.S. Congressional Oceanic and Domestic Environment Committee held hearings on scientific research on military interventions in weather and climate and found that the Department of Defense had plans to create ocean tides through the coordinated use of nuclear weapons.

The crisis of a large-scale confrontation between the United States and Russia developed to such an extent that in 1977 the two countries signed a United Nations agreement against the intervention of weather for hostile purposes. The letter of agreement does not mean the end of the weather experiment. In 1978, an experiment launched by the United States produced torrential rain in six counties in northern Wisconsin.The torrential rain triggered winds of 175 miles per hour and caused $50 million in damage.Meanwhile Russia was working on its own projects. In 1992, The Wall Street Journal reported that a Russian company, Airright Intelligence Technologies, was selling purpose-built weather-control equipment under the slogan "Weather at Order."Their services are available in countries all over the world.

While experiments like these continued in both countries, weather patterns began to change.As early as 1980, bizarre weather phenomena were frequently seen in the newspapers. "A line of high pressure recently lingered about 800 miles off the coast of California for two months, blocking the flow of moist air from the Pacific Ocean." —Time Magazine, January 1981. "...a stagnant high-pressure season acts as a barrier, preventing the normal flow of weather patterns from west to east." —The New York Times, July 29, 1993. None of the weather disasters described in the text of this book have occurred in reality.

Weather is the most powerful force we know.Whoever controls it can disrupt the world economy with incessant rainstorms or tornadoes; destroy crops with drought; cause earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis; shut down the world's airports; and wreak havoc on enemy battlefields. If a world leader said, "Everyone talks about the weather but nobody lifts a finger," we'd all be able to sleep soundly. This is the truth. (End of the book)
