Weather Modification is such a “Conspiracy Theory” that they literally broadcasted it to the entire world on The View and even showed the planes used to do it.
THE VIEW: “They're taking storms that are already there & given it a little boost — Cloud seeding is ramping up so big“ 🤔
In case anyone is curious about the possibility of the Texas floods being linked to cloud seeding, I'll try to give a brief explanation.
Cloud seeding works by injecting small amounts of aerosols into the atmosphere to create condensation within clouds where the moisture content is too light for it to rain much naturally.
It's an assist, to try to get a little bit of rain out of clouds that otherwise would produce little to no rain. The increase in rain generated by cloud seeding is at best 10-20%. This is maybe useful during drought conditions which Texas was experiencing prior to the floods.
However, if a storm is already strong enough to produce good rainfall on its own, cloud seeding is pointless and produces nearly zero additional rainfall. The atmosphere doesn't need help. Therefore, cloud seeding does not cause flooding. If there's enough moisture to cause a flood, it's already raining far beyond the point where cloud seeding is effective.
Additionally, clouds that have been seeded only have the chance to produce additional rainfall for an hour or two, and the cloud seeding operations in Texas were stopped days before the storm.
This storm dumped hundreds of billions of gallons of water on a small area from clouds 50,000 feet high (cloud seeding operations occur at elevations no higher than 12,000 ft). That's not man-made.

Disinformation around a “weather weapon” and cloud seeding is being widely promoted by everyone from anti-government extremists to GOP influencers—leading to real-world consequences.
On Sunday afternoon, Michael Meyer, the founder of anti-government extremist group Veterans on Patrol, posted a warning on his Telegram channel.
“Due to the recent weather weapon deployed against Texas, which resulted in a high number of child murders, efforts to eliminate this military treason are being escalated,” Meyer, who is commonly known as Lewis Arthur, wrote.
Hours later, a man broke into an enclosure containing the NextGen Live Radar system operated by News 9 in Oklahoma City, damaging its power supply and briefly knocking it offline. The man also damaged CCTV cameras monitoring the site, but footage shared by News 9 shows the cameras captured a clear image of his face before they were destroyed.
“If it doesn't exist,” said Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., a co-sponsor of federal legislation targeting geoengineering, “then you don't have a
Allan Smith and Matt Dixon at NBC News:
For years, outlandish theories about the U.S. government using airplanes to spray harmful chemicals over U.S. homes or powerful elites controlling the weather were relegated to the fringes of society.
Not anymore.
As the internet has provided rocket fuel for such claims, Republican lawmakers across the country are introducing, passing and enacting laws to ban “weather modification” and environmental geoengineering and allude to the use of “chemtrails,” a longtime theory that planes are spreading chemical agents on an unsuspecting public. As more people are exposed to dangerous flooding, the GOP lawmakers have pointed to the fringe theories as potential explanations for extreme weather, pushing them further into the political mainstream. (Scientists have found evidence tying the increasing frequency of extreme weather to climate change.)
Republican lawmakers in nearly 20 state legislatures have proposed such legislation, with governors in Tennessee and Florida having signed bills into law. On the federal level, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., recently introduced the “Clear Skies Act,” which would outlaw forms of geoengineering and hit alleged weather modifiers with penalties of up to $100,000 for each violation and potential prison sentences of up to five years.
“It’s not a conspiracy theory,” Pennsylvania state Sen. Camera Bartolotta, a Republican who co-sponsored legislation in her state, said in an interview. “All you have to do is look up.”
At its core, the legislative push seeks to outlaw human-made alterations to the climate — notable, given how the party has fought to stop efforts to combat climate change tied to fossil fuel consumption and as the Trump administration has cut funding for climate change research and removed the website that hosted the government’s climate assessments.
“One political party in this country seems especially concerned about the idea of theoretical changes in the weather,” Matthew Cappucci, a meteorologist for The Washington Post and other outlets, told NBC News. “Whereas that same political party will largely turn a blind eye to actual weather modification that is happening in slow motion, i.e., human-induced climate change.”
Greene, who is leading the charge to pass federal legislation to ban weather modification, said she saw “kind of a funny hypocrisy” among climate change activists who are “yelling, ‘We’ve got to stop climate change.’”

Experts said some are conflating outright falsehoods with legitimate, small-scale research into geoengineering — which have been blown up into claims that scientists or governments are controlling weather patterns or creating severe weather events. That is not happening, but the backlash to the research is intensifying.
[...]
Theories around weather manipulation spread rapidly last year after Hurricane Helene triggered massive flooding around Asheville, North Carolina. Such claims resurfaced after flooding killed at least 120 people in Texas this month. Lawmakers also pointed to unprecedented flooding last year in the United Arab Emirates — which uses cloud seeding to increase rainfall, though officials and researchers have said cloud seeding did not trigger the floods.
The consequences of a political party normalizing conspiracy theorist crankery are being felt here, as Republicans across Red States are pushing bills designed to stop “weather modification”.
This is just their way of avoiding having to acknowledge climate change’s role in the increase of the duration, frequency, and severity of extreme weather events.
Let’s dig into these groups and see who’s poisoning our air, our food, and us. Is it Big Pharma? Is it the CIA? Is it the Department of Homeland Security or Defense? Dig into the paperwork and out these traitors.
My money’s on a joint effort between Big Pharma and the CIA.
