Declassified CIA files reveal secret #WeatherManipulation projects to 'control world'
Previously top-secret CIA files allege that the US plans to control the world by manipulating the weather.
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."
Is pesticide spray on food leading to movement disorders?
Precautionary principle - ban paraquat
"Paraquat and the related herbicide diquat are fast-acting weedkillers that farming groups say are essential for controlling resistant weeds."
"Multiple epidemiological studies from different groups of scientists have shown that people exposed to paraquat have around a three times greater risk [of developing Parkinson's disease]."
'The chemicals have been under review by the APVMA since 1997 and they are banned in the EU, the UK and China due to their toxicity.'
"There are now multiple epidemiological studies or real-world exposure studies that have suggested that paraquat increases the risk of Parkinson's disease by around threefold...Like Australia, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to allow restricted use of the pesticide despite ongoing health concerns." >>

#Algal #Toxins emerge as a new concern in #Alaska’s Northern Bering Sea
Locals who depend on the sea for food and culture are trying to understand the risks to traditional foods and wildlife populations in a region undergoing myriad changes
by Yereth Rosen, Alaska Beacon, May 31, 2026 via #ICTNews
Excerpt: "For countless generations, people of the #BeringStrait region have relied on the food they harvest from the sea without worrying about #HarmfulAlgalBlooms [#HABs] that threaten seafood eaters in warmer and more southern latitudes.
"Now, as the Northern Bering Sea undergoes cascading effects of a warming climate, algal risks pose a new challenge.
"The change has been dramatic.
"And it has prompted a change in the way #Nome youth grow up learning about collecting food from the waters around their home. In early April, Nome high school students traveled to Bethel with their science teacher, where they presented their research at the Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Science Conference held by Alaska Sea Grant.
"Algal toxins were present, at very low but detectable levels, in fish they eat.
"Sophomore Audrey Bruner-Alvanna was among the group of student researchers. She said young people are concerned about algal blooms, which proliferate in warmer conditions, and their potential effects on wild food resources.
" 'Because, you know, as the climate changes, as the world gets warmer and stuff, there’s going to be more of these toxins and stuff during summer,' she said. 'I feel like a lot of people that I’ve talked to have been wondering about how our subsistence is going to change in the future based on all of that.'
"The student research came about after one of the nation’s densest and biggest concentrations of toxin-producing Alexandrium algae ever documented burst forth in the waters of the Bering Strait region in 2022.
"Until the appearance of the 'massive bloom, the most toxic bloom, the longest-persisting bloom in the U.S.,' local people barely knew what harmful algal blooms or #Alexandrium are, said Emma Pate, president of the Nome Eskimo Community, the local tribal government.
" 'So we had to figure things out and learn really fast,' Pate said during an October 'Strait Science' presentation hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Nome campus."
