This article that I am about to post certainly goes along
with what we have observed over the Pacific Northwest, namely that the
spray planes are drying up all significant weather fronts which might bring
rain to help the farmers in the state of Oregon and also help quench the
forest fires burning here out of control. Reminds me of those murals
in the Denver International Airport showing all the forests of the world
burning. Must have some connection with the NWO though God and these people
only know the reason for that one.

A SUPERABSORBENT POLYMER REINVIGORATES AN OLD DREAM (pp. 64-65)
One overcast day last July, a small industrial firm loaded a cargo plane
with four tons of absorbent polymer powder and took off from the Florida
coast heading east. The plane flew until it was over international waters
and above a mile-long cloud formation. Skimming the surface of the formation,
the pilot dumped the powder, which drifted into the mist below. Minutes
later observers in radar stations saw the cloud evaporate and disappear.
Far below, a misty gel rained down into the waves and dissolved. In a very
small way, the Dyn-O-Mat company may have changed the weather that day.
Like telepathy research and antiaging experiments, the dream of controlling
the weather on a large scale has never quite disappeared. In 1957 a presidential
advisory committee warned that weather modification "could become
a more important weapon than the atom bomb." During the Vietnam War,
the army mustered nearly 3,000 cloud-seeding particles to swell monsoon
rains over the Ho Chi Minh trail - all, apparently, to no avail. For the
past two decades, researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
have tried to alter fronts and weaken hurricanes, also without success.
But failure seems unlikely to vanquish hope when it comes to manipulating
the weather. Last year, for example, a San Diego company proposed fighting
tornadoes by beaming microwaves at them from space. About the same time,
a hurricane researcher from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology advised
that coating the oceans with a thin layer of oil might stop the evanporation
that powers large storms.
"So far, every experiment showing a statistically significant effect
has been discredited," says Hugh Wiloughby, a research meteorologist
with the Hurrican Research Division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration. Still, he remains a self-proclaimed "enabler"
of weather-modification enthusiasts. "I probably read too many sci-fi
books growing up, but I love the idea," he says. "Imagine being
able to herd clouds over cropland or stop hurricanes before they hit land."
Of course, people alter the weather unintentionally all the time: Just
by driving automobiles, they create smog that changes rainfall patterns.
But focused tinkering is another matter. Weather systems are chaotic and
incalculably complex. Turbulent winds, heated by the sun, bounce off mountains
and collide with other systems, each of which has its own spiraling, tumbling
momentum. Success itself runs the risk of triggering a chain reaction.
Rains in a parched region of Africa, say, might trigger a drought in China.
Furthermore, weather systems are so powerful, they can absorb almost anything
humans throw at them.
Undaunted, Dyn-O-Mat is forging ahead with a grand experiment - making
an entire tropical storm disappear by dumping 300 tons of the company's
patented powder into it. This month, if all goes to plan, two Russian planes
will coat a five-mile-long wedge on the slow side of a tropical storm's
eye. Dyn-O-Mat's president, J.D. Dutton, says the sudden evaporation should
disrupt the storm's momentum, causing it to shear off and unravel.
At Dyn-O-Mat's Riviera Beach offices, there is little evidence of such
bold plans. The conference room is stacked with bilge balls and oil booms
that evoke the company's main business, seeling products to control petrochemical
spills. But in the small lab here, a lush plant grows out of what looks
like a tub of lumpy pink gelatin. This turns out to be Dyn-O-Moist, which
helps lawns stay damp without frequent watering. The company also produces
Dyn-O-Fire, a nonflammable gel that clings to leaves; Dyn-O-Drought, which
stores morning dew for use by arid-land farmers; and other unusual products,
including a sipping straw that changes color if a beverage passing through
it has been spiked with Rohypnol, the date-rape drug.
The star of the weather show is called Dyn-O-Storm. Grainy and white, it
looks like powdered laundry detergent. It's made from the same cross-linked
polyacrylic acids that fill diapers: long, netlike molecules that unfurl
in the presence of water. When sodium ions are added to the formula, they
neutralize the acids and form a superabsorbent web. Water molecules have
a slightly positive charge at one end and a slightly negative charge at
the other, so they normally clump together. But in the presence of Dyn-O-Storm,
they separate and stick to the charged ions in the polymer's net. The magnitude
of the effect is eerie. Scatter even a few grains of Dyn-O-Storm into a
bowl of water and the water congeals instantly into something rubbery and
gray. it can then be dissolved in seawater because sodium and calcium ions
bond more strongly with the polymer, knocking the water molecules free.
Chief executive officer and inventor Peter Cordani, a former golf course
engineer, got the idea for Dyn-O-Storm three eyars ago when a small amount
of another polymer touched his wet hands, which became instantly dry. Cordani
spent the next week mixing together various off-the-shelf polymers. Early
blends used round grains that ripped right through clouds like BBs. Cordani
constulted Wiloughby, who suggested making cereal-flake-shaped particles
that would flutter down slowly, absorbing maximal water before exiting.
These days Cordani is occupied by threats to the success of the impending
test of Dyn-O-Storm on a tropical maelstrom. There is a chance that the
storm's high winds might simply fling away the 300 tons of powder before
it can be effective. Worse, the resulting gel-spew could blow back and
smack the seeding airplanes. And the powder itself may pose a minor health
risk. "I inhaled a bit by accident and had bronchitis for a week,"
Willoughby says. "The stuff turns to slime in your lungs."
Even if Cordani succeeds, he may have trouble proving it. Most storms weaken
naturally. Who will know if Dyn-O-Storm works or nature took its course?
The same uncertainty haunts Dyn-O-Mat's original test, says Willoughby:
"Sure the cloud disappeared, but thunderheads in Florida typically
have a very short life. In 10 minutes, that cloud might have evaporated
on its own." He was initially supportive of the results, but Willoughby
has since distanced himself, calling the experiment "unconvincing."
If Dyn-O-Storm doesn't prove effective, Cordani will simply move on to
some 30 other products his company is developing. One of these - a tea
bag filled with an oil-absorbent polymer, called Dyn-O-trim - promises
a different kind of miracle, one aimed at chefs and home cooks. "It
takes the fat out of soups and gravies," Cordani says. That sort of
wizardry should not be surprising froma company whose CEO likes to say
"The sky's the limit."
END OF ARTICLE
Notice all the evidence supporting the chemtrail theses - the gel like
substance, polymers, causing bronchitis, et al. I think the story that
this guy came up with this three years ago is totally bogus. Obviously
this is part truth and part disinformation to get people to quit blaming
the REAL culprits who have already been using this OVER four years, the
military industrial complex et al.
