The Geoengineering Conspiracy Theory
17 June 2025
Once upon a time there was a Conspiracy Theory about weather modification.
Some people believed that there was a real effort to use various forms of technology and engineering to control the weather. Some of those forms included cloud seeding, the deliberate introduction of particulates into the skies in order to change the otherwise natural formations of clouds and rain. Other forms include HAARP and similar technologies that are not advertised as weather modification systems but their use absolutely could affect the weather.
Those people believed this Conspiracy Theory because they could see with their own eyes a distinct change in how trails behind aeroplanes that previously formed and very quickly faded completely, now dispersed much more slowly, often changing the sky from the previous clear blue with white or greyish clouds, to a sky completely covered in a murky mist over the course of an hour or so.
Smart People laughed at the Conspiracy Theorists for being so completely stupid. It’s just condensation, they explained. They are “con-trails”, trails of condensation.
The stupid Conspiracy Theorists asked why the trails seem to be behaving differently than they used to if all it is, is condensation. They had read literature and reports of efforts to change and control the weather dating back to the 1940s like Operation Cumulus, a project known internally as “Operation Witch Doctor” conducted by the British Government to learn how to control the weather, primarily for military advantage. They had read about Operation Popeye, a mission to extend the monsoon season over North Vietnam between March 1967 and July 1972 and that it was effective.
Smart People laughed more, and explained that these are “persistent con-trails” and that is why they stay in the sky for longer, because they are “persistent”. Also, they asked the Conspiracy Theorists if they were qualified Climate Scientists, or qualified Meteorologists, which totally won the argument.
Smart People also pointed to the fact that the United Nations had banned all military and/or hostile use of techniques to modify the environment in 1978. Clearly the Conspiracy Theorists had absolutely no answer to this, because as we know, the United Nations has completely united all 193 nations that are members and we have no more wars because they are united. Everyone knows that when the UN says “don’t do that thing”, no-one ever does the thing ever again.
This somehow failed to convince the Conspiracy Theorists. They seemed to have this bizarre notion that just like the existence of Operation Cumulous in the 1940s and 50s was completely denied by the Ministry of Defence at the time, maybe some people could ignore the UN ban and do it anyway.
Smart People laughed and recommended the Conspiracy Theorists use a better grade of tinfoil for their hats, which totally won the argument.
The silly Conspiracy Theorists pointed out that the UN banning it for “hostile” use would not be any form of protection, even if we charitably assumed that the world’s Governments obeyed the ban, from unintended consequences of, again using the most charitable of interpretations, completely well-intentioned weather modification. They cited articles like the one on the BBC website from 2009 where it describes the Chinese Weather Modification Office spraying silver iodide 186 times into clouds to create rain, but a presumably unexpected “cold front” caused heavy snow which caused disruption to road, rail and air travel.
Smart People pointed out that the BBC had in that article also said that “many scientists – particularly in the UK – remain highly sceptical”, because it is not really possible to demonstrate that the cloud seeding actually caused the rain or snow, because it might have happened anyway.
The dum-dum Conspiracy Theorists asked where that kind of scepticism disappeared to during the fake “pandemic”, but they digress. They also cited an archived version of an article published on a Chinese website, and helpfully translated the Chinese text to English…
Yesterday afternoon, a sudden thunderstorm in Zhengzhou caught many people off guard. At the large-scale comprehensive sports meeting, there are many similar things. At the Doha Asian Games, a female reporter asked the organizing committee: It was raining at the opening ceremony. Are there any safeguards? There was a burst of laughter in the audience. The reason is that Doha is located in the desert and the rainfall record is less than 7 times a year.
But when many reporters held their laptops in their arms and had nowhere to hide from the rain at the opening ceremony, what they most expressed was that “there are unexpected situations in the sky.”
According to some information, my country’s artificial weather-affected operations are currently ranked first in the world, and “calling wind and rain” is no longer a dream. But with the advent of the Beijing Olympics, “how to ensure that it does not rain during the Olympics” has become a concern for many people.
Can people really control the weather?
Douglas Patai, an official at the Secretariat of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, said many countries have almost no efforts to make artificial rainfall. The U.S. investment in artificial weather impact has dropped from $20 million a year in the 1970s to $500,000. In the 1960s and 1970s, the United States tried to control hurricanes by launching chemicals through aircraft, but failed. In 2005, the economic losses caused by Hurricane Katrina in the United States eventually exceeded US$300 billion, equivalent to the total cost of the United States launching two large-scale wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
How can “the sky is clear and cloudless” be like a primary school student writing a diary during the Beijing Olympics? Experts and scholars from all walks of life are still running around. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games will be held in Chaoyang District. August is a season of thunderstorms in Beijing. Through statistical analysis of the historical precipitation data of Chaoyang Meteorological Station in the past 30 years around August 8, the probability of precipitation at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is about 50%, with light rain most of them, accounting for 50% of the total probability; moderate rain and heavy rain each account for 25%.
Some data say that my country’s artificial weather-affected operations are currently ranked first in the world. Although it may not be able to withstand Hurricane “Katrina”. When it is required to rain, at least there is no need to go to the Dragon King Temple to burn incense and kowtow.The day to prepare for the Olympics is a sunny day
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, the Beijing Meteorological Department carried out artificial rain elimination (reduction) experiments for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games as early as 2002. The so-called artificial rain elimination (reduction) is mainly to carry out a certain scale of continuous catalytic operations on the upwind side of the precipitation cloud system that affects the local area, trying to change the precipitation state or process of natural clouds. In fact, the artificial rain elimination (reduction) is not to make the rain “disappear”, but to make it fall early, “hold it” from falling, or “invite” it to fall somewhere else.
Currently, there are 170 full-time and part-time staff in Beijing conducting various experiments on artificial rain elimination (reduction). Xie Pu, director of the Beijing Meteorological Bureau and director of the Municipal Artificial Weather Modification Office, introduced that Beijing has conducted a series of cloud elimination and rain reduction experiments using aircraft and rockets since 2005, and has gained some successful experience. On July 7 this year, the Beijing Xiangshan Artificial Weather Modification Experiment Base fired 400 rounds of 37mm caliber silver iodide shells in 10 minutes, successfully eliminating a strong hailstorm that was about to appear in the urban area of Beijing.
High-tech weather control
During the Beijing Olympic Games, if there is really bad weather for the Olympics, the Beijing Meteorological Bureau will use high-tech means to control the weather and ensure the smooth progress of the Olympics. 1. If there is heavy fog, the Beijing Meteorological Bureau will use “liquid nitrogen fog elimination technology” to quickly freeze the water droplets in the fog into ice crystals, and the ice crystals will quickly condense the surrounding fog droplets into small snowflakes and fall, achieving artificial fog elimination. 2. If there is high temperature and drought, the Beijing Weather Modification Office will use five tools, namely airplanes, balloons, generators, anti-aircraft guns and rockets, to carry out artificial rainfall operations. 3. If hail falls from the sky, anti-aircraft guns will be used to concentrate a large amount of catalysts such as silver iodide into the hail cloud, and a large number of condensation nuclei will be formed in the cloud, turning the hail into “small salt grains”. 4. If it rains heavily, the principle of rain elimination is the same as artificial rainfall, except that the rain that was supposed to fall in the area that needs shelter is artificially brought forward. 5. Strong winds suddenly hit. Meteorological satellites will monitor the weather at all times. During the Olympic Games, satellite images will be updated every half hour instead of every hour. The data from the automatic weather station will be updated every 5 minutes. Lightning location observation data will be updated in real time. Radar data will be updated every 6 minutes.
Today’s News Review
On July 29, 1981, the day of the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, a heavy rain first fell on the heads of Londoners, and then two giant rainbows appeared in the sky. When the wedding ceremony reached its climax, a beam of light shone directly on the gilded dome of the church, the ground temperature rose to 30℃, and the whole of London was bathed in warm sunshine… This was the “Sunny-Rain Operation” specially created by British experts engaged in weather control research to show that they “officially ruled the sky.” However, when it comes to the effect of artificial weather control, the attitude of the experts is still cautious. Guo Xueliang, director of the Artificial Weather Modification Center of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, said that although artificial intervention can be made at any time according to needs under certain conditions, it is still just a dream to change the weather at will and make it develop completely in a direction that is beneficial to human requirements. Whether the experiment and implementation of artificial weather modification will deteriorate the natural environment and bring negative effects, modern science has not yet been able to prove it.

Smart People read that and said “You can’t trust the Chinese Government”, and hand-waved the entire thing away.
The retarded Conspiracy Theorists asked why the Smart People had trusted the Chinese Government over the whole fake “pandemic” thing, including taking their word for the genome sequence for the non-existent SARS-CoV-2 virus and believed all the absurd theatrics of Chinese people dropping dead in the street from “COVID”.
Smart People replied that obviously there is no way the Chinese Government would lie about this one thing, because Sinophobia, which totally won the argument.
The dumb Conspiracy Theorists, unperturbed by this sequence of exchanges pointed out that less than two months ago, the Telegraph had published an article explaining how the UK Government was just weeks away from giving the “green light” to a £50 million experimental project to “dim the Sun”.
The Smart People laughed and explained that obviously it’s not a Conspiracy Theory or very secret if the Telegraph is reporting it and the Government are openly discussing it.
The idiotic Conspiracy Theorists actually wondered if the Smart People were on crack.
Then the Smart People started running around screeching about how a “hostile foreign power” could “weaponise sun dimming technology”. Smart Government People began writing letters to each other about it. Smart People who run companies that sell very expensive “risk management” services suddenly realised the “emerging threat”, that threat being that Russia “may look to broaden and diversify the types of activities that they’re conducting, to include more novel types of activity of which solar geoengineering may be one”.
The mad Conspiracy Theorists said that all sounds like a Conspiracy Theory.
The Smart People assured everyone that no, this is an absolutely real threat we all need to be very scared of because the Telegraph had reported on it (archive), and despite the almost critical mass of weasel words in the report, the blatantly opportunistic sales pitch from Matt Ince of Dragonfly Intelligence and the usual push for some kind of “global” control as the “solution”, we should be worried, very worried, for real bro.
The simpleton Conspiracy Theorists reminded the Smart People that just months previously pointing out that ARIA, the Government’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency had received £50 million to experiment on dimming the sun was something that all the Smart People were fine with. They mentioned that the Telegraph had also reported (archive) on how ARIA, which was created by an Act of Parliament, was a rather “secretive”, receives vast sums of public money with next to zero transparency and accountability and none of the Smart People had cared.
They pointed out the insane £800 million of public money ARIA get to spaff on ludicrous ideas and astronomically high salaries. They cited the fact that the top three people at ARIA (Ilan Gur, Antonia Jenkinson and Pippy James) earn over £800,000 a year between them, and just 37 staff are costing £4.1 million a year in wages at a time where we’re repeatedly told there is no public money for basics like road repairs, and none of the Smart People cared.
The gimboid Conspiracy Theorists highlighted the so-called “Opportunity Spaces” on the ARIA website and how this was not just a completely inappropriate use of public money, but most of these “Opportunity Spaces” are the things Conspiracy Theorists have been talking about for years, but the Smart People did not care. Things like “Sculpting Innate Immunity“, “Bioenergetic Engineering“, “Scalable Neural Interfaces“, “Programmable Plants“, “Mathematics for Safe AI“, and “Smarter Robot Bodies” were pointed out as, at best, utterly ridiculous vanity projects with the sole purpose of making people in Government feel like they are “leading technological innovation”, and wasting hundreds of millions of pounds on things to make politicians feel important is not what the public being forced to pay for this crap needs. At worst they are extremely dangerous as none of the ARIA team will be held accountable for any damage done by this untrammelled sci-fi “research”.
The Smart People didn’t care. They didn’t care that ARIA is exempt from Freedom of Information Requests, despite all their marketing gush about “robust accountability”. They still don’t care, they are now only completely focused on how Russia “may” choose at some indeterminate point in the future to “possibly” look at deploying some kind of “geoengineering” weapon, after spending years pretending there is no such thing, then pivoting to “Oh yes, well of course it’s real, we need it to save the planet” and then moments later wetting their knickers about the dastardly Russians “maybe” using it against us, which of course, totally won the argument.
