Declassified CIA files reveal secret #WeatherManipulation projects to 'control world'

by Olivia Beeson, June 10, 2026

"The documents surrounding weather modification were declassified in 2003, and discuss the tactic of launching rockets or planes to release chemicals into the atmosphere that alter the climate and storm systems.

"These documents resurfaced from 1965, and highlighted how this tactic could be use as a weapon of war in the future.

" 'However, it did not specify what chemicals were used in the experiments.

"The documents stated that federal funding for weather modification was due to be four times higher in 1967 - the year the US began spraying #toxins over #Vietnam to cause #floods and #landslides."
