Predicted Pacific Hurricane Superstorms: Global Warming or Geoengineering?

An unusual phenomenon happening today in the Pacific Ocean is causing more concern among coastal dwellers from southern California down through Baja California Sur, Mexico. This might be another devastating hurricane season, according to meteorologists. Their predictions are not due to “global cooling.” Staggering warmer seas are the main cause of the upcoming superstorm concern, according to the Washington Post this week. Weather warfare, creating superstorms through environmental modification techniques (ENMOD) for military use is, however, a reality constituting in the present context of global warfare. It is the ultimate weapon of mass destruction, according to the Center for Global Research based on military documents.

Hurricane Andres began Thursday as a Tropical Depression in the eastern Pacific Ocean. It  ballooned into a powerful category 4 hurricane Sunday night, boasting sustained winds of 140 mph.

“Andres’ emergence as a major hurricane at longitude 118.8°W marks the farthest west a major hurricane has been in the Northeast Pacific in May in the 45 years since accurate satellite records began in 1970,” stated Weather Underground’s director of meteorology Jeff Masters.

Although the official hurricane season begins May 15 in the East Pacific, the first major hurricane typically is not form until mid-July.

Hurricane Andres gained killer strength for one reason: exceptionally warn sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean west of Mexico. That sea surface today is as much as a whopping five degrees above average, drawing conditions for another perfect storm. Add El Nino. 

Powerful Hurricane Andres, while predicted to create swells that might cause dangerous surf, rip conditions off the coast of Baja California, is till not forecast to make landfall. It is, however, followed quickly by Tropical Storm Blanca, that formed Monday morning. Blanca is expected to rapidly strengthen into a category 3 hurricane over the next few days.

Blanca is about 485 miles (780 kilometers) south of Manzanillo, Mexico. It is stationary, therefore gaining strength as it spins. Thursday, it’s expected to moved north-northwest with increased speed. Swells are expected to start impacting Mexico’s coast over the next few days.

“As El Nino blooms in the tropics, the ocean temperatures will also increase, providing more fuel for another powerful East Pacific hurricane season,” reports the Washington Post. “If a repeat of 2014 pans out, this may serve to benefit the drought stricken U.S.. as storms push tropical moisture into the region, but it could also prove destructive for western Mexico and even Hawaii.”

The 2014 hurricane season in the eastern Pacific also began with a record start. First, Hurricane Amanda intensified to the strongest May storm in the satellite era with borderline category 5 winds of 155 mph. Then, there was Tropical Storm Boris and then another major hurricane, Christina. 2014 was the strongest hurricane season start on record.

Thirteen tropical cyclones hit later in September 2014. Hurricane Odile ravaged Mexico’s Baja Peninsula and became the strongest known hurricane to make landfall on the peninsula in modern records. It devastated Mexican villages and Baja vacation cities, leaving tens of thousands of tourists stranded for days before able to fly home.

“The conditions in 2014 could resemble this year’s in one important way — the warm sea surface temperatures of a burgeoning El Nino. 2014 ended as fourth busiest season on record with 22 named storms, nine of which became major hurricanes. An average season in the East Pacific has around 15 named storms, eight hurricanes and three major hurricanes.”

But is all the hurricane devastation strictly due to warmer water from global warming?

Another Military-Geoengineered Disastrous Hurricane Season Ahead?

The AP recently reported on man-made hurricanes. It did a story on researchers’ “new lab” allowing them to generate tropical storm conditions with the flip of a switch. The lab reported, at University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, is known as the Surge-Structure-Atmosphere Interaction, (SUSTAIN).

“The lab features a clear acrylic tank about 75 feet (23 meters) long and 6.5 feet (2 meters) high. Inside, 38,000 gallons of seawater can be whipped into white-capped waves by a 1,700-horsepower fan that can create Category 5 conditions, with winds topping 157 mph.” (AP)

Satellite sensors are mounted on the lab’s high ceilings to look down at hurricane conditions churning in the tank. This will help fine-tune satellites watching real storms, according to lab director Brian Haus.

“The satellites, even though they see a really big area, they tend to be sensitive to really small things on the surface. We don’t really know, when you get into extreme conditions, what the satellite is seeing — whether there’s a spot reflecting off sea spray or bubbles or short waves,” Haus said.

Popular Science put it this way on Monday in its subtitle: “I’d like a Category 4 cyclone with a side of storm surge, to stay, please.”

But hurricane engineering is nothing new to the military-industrial complex. Professor Michel Chossudovsky reports in his Global Research article, “The Ultimate Weapon of Mass Destruction: “Owning the Weather” for Military Use”:

Environmental modification techniques have been applied by the US military for more than half a century. US mathematician John von Neumann, in liaison with the US Department of Defense, started his research on weather modification in the late 1940s at the height of the Cold War and foresaw ‘forms of climatic warfare as yet unimagined’. During the Vietnam war, cloud-seeding techniques were used, starting in 1967 under Project Popeye, the objective of which was to prolong the monsoon season and block enemy supply routes along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

On August 11, 2010 NASA announced being less than 2 from initiating Project GRIP (Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes) – their quest for the holy grail of hurricane research. Project GRIP found the exact conditions required to kick start a tropical depression into a hurricane.   Scientists had known for decades how hurricanes develop and how to steer them. NASA, however, wanted to perfect processes that intensifies depressions to form into very intense, spinning storms of mass destruction. 

“Hurricane formation and intensification is really the ‘holy grail’ of this field,” said Ed Zipser, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Utah and one of three program scientists helping to lead the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP)Project.

Weather-modification, according to the US Air Force document AF 2025 Final Report,

“offers the war fighter a wide range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary’, capabilities, it says, extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes: ‘Weather modification will become a part of domestic and international security and could be done unilaterally… It could have offensive and defensive applications and even be used for deterrence purposes. The ability to generate precipitation, fog and storms on earth or to modify space weather… and the production of artificial weather all are a part of an integrated set of [military] technologies.”

“We want to see storms that become hurricanes, and we want to see some that don’t become hurricanes, so we can compare the data. The same is true for hurricane intensification,” stated GRIP Project Manager Marilyn Vasques.

Chossudovsky reports: “The US Air Force has the capability of manipulating climate either for testing purposes or for outright military-intelligence use. These capabilities extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes. In recent years, large amounts of money have been allocated by the US Department of Defense to further developing and perfecting these capabilities.”

Weather modification will become a part of domestic and international security and could be done unilaterally… It could have offensive and defensive applications and even be used for deterrence  purposes. The ability to generate precipitation, fog, and storms on earth or to modify space weather, … and the production of artificial weather all are a part of an integrated set of technologies which can provide substantial increase in US, or degraded capability in an adversary, to achieve global awareness, reach, and power.

To wit: The Navy is amid its five-year weapons testing program in the Pacific Ocean, off the west coast.

Chossudovsky says, “While there is no firm evidence that the US Air Force weather warfare facilities have been deliberately applied to modify weather patterns, one would expect that if these capabilities are being developed for military use, they would at least be the object of routine testing, much in the same way as the testing of new conventional and strategic weapons systems.”

Global warming? ENMOD? The forcasters do not say. West coasters, however, would be wise to prepare not to be able to batten down the hatches and flee if last year alone is any predictor of what’s to come in the next few months.
