Bill for weather modification passed congress !
« on: July 13, 2005, 07:39:52 AM »
Stefan,
 
   I have pasted the latest information on a resently introduced bill to the 109th Congress of the United States. This bill was introduced on March 3rd of this year 2005, and suggests that the U.S., government has the right to impose global weather modifications on the entire planet. I have done some searching and found that this is an authentic bill and that the information is true and accurate. I don't know if this is something that your forum member's would be interested in but I would think that everyone on the planet should be concerned because of the possible implications of such a bill being passed into law. Links to related news articles and web-sites are also pasted at the bottom for the reader's reference. Read on Stefan.
 
Regards,
 
Jim
