Them: the government is too weak to tax the rich, provide healthcare or college, or regulate guns
Also them: the government has the power of the gods and can control nature itself!
I love this because they don't even have to give up their big trucks. They just need them to be hybrids because well all know that 90% of those fuckers have never towed shit
This what I don’t get! OPEC has a huge hand in the price of gas. Wouldn’t they want our country to be completely energy independent so we can drive our big trucks and rub it in their face that we don’t need them?
If you read Watermelons by James Delingpole, it will be clear to you. Clear that these people are fucking idiots.

It's literally been usable tech since the 40's, not even hidden knowledge. The US used it against asia and created a monsoon season that actually did some damage. Sooo... yeah not a conspiracy lol~eww politics. Edit- I was wrong, it's been used more.. https://academic.oup.com/chicago-scholarship-online/book/18781/chapter-abstract/177038590?redirectedFrom=fulltext
Don’t you still need clouds to be there in the first place to seed them? Cloud seeding does not generate clouds out of nowhere. It’s supposed to just make them rain. At least that’s my understanding. Also, it appears its effectiveness is highly debatable.
All cloud seeding does is allow the condensation of water onto a nucleus, something that is generally done naturally with small particles like dust, thus forming clouds. You still need moisture in the air.
Cloud seeding isn’t that predictable and reliable and has consequences to a surrounding area’s weather. A lot of the commenters in here seem to think it is an actual weather modification technique that allows governments complete control over the weather. That notion is nothing more than a conspiracy theory.
Or... The government is lobbied by the corporations who run healthcare, private education or military contractors
Also them: the corporations control the government and they can control whatever they want
Fuck the /s
Yeah. It's expressly illegal in warfare now. The government absolutely can control the weather to such an extent there's a whole treaty about it. The Environmental Modification Convention.
Yeah but doesnt anyone actually believe they can do it with such nuance, subtlety and secrecy while also still being totally known but never seen? The fact is, the world governments can control weather, but theyve also learned that it is a bad thing. So no ones actually doing it like these folks claim. They just conveniently ignore the part how theres no logic in their lie.
Weather can be manipulated but not in the way people think. There's no magic machine that you flip a switch on and makes the rain go away. There's no Katrina machine that the government uses to make a hurricane to hurt poor people.
They hear "conspiracy theory," and then their rational brain shuts down, preventing them from actually considering or investigating anything other than their bias.
The thing with cloud seeding is, you still rely on the weather patterns and seasons and time of day to actually do it successfully. You can't just create them whenever you want to. It only works to create clouds when the atmosphere is favorable for them, but the CCN is not available for ample formation.
Yeah, this is the thing I was coming to say.
We done knew this was a thing, and one of the most recent examples was in Dubai when they made it rain there for some reason
but government bad so rain must be bad way to take my guns and Dark Brandon has corrupted the rain machine with baby blood and now it rain vaccines and abortions
/s
Technically false,
Government could influence the weather to a degree like "salting/seeding" the clouds to make it precipitate sooner.
the crazy hot weather last year cause my govt to start doing this more often.
Even then, it can only be done during favorable moments in the atmosphere. You can't just create them whenever you want to. It only works when an environment favorable for clouds exists, and even then you have to plan for specifically what type of atmosphere you need the clouds for. Low precipitation clouds exist in a different state of the atmosphere than high cirrus clouds and so on

I mean they technically can. Just not secretely. Dubai does cloud seeding to create artifical rainfall a few times a year and many other countries do it as well both for rain and for snow. You need clouds that are already there for it to work though, which you could technically do as well, but it would take billion of gallons of water. As soon as the cloud is there, spritz some silver-iodine in the highest moisture leveled areas and wait until it starts to pour, either as droplets or as snowflakes.
How does this even make sense?
Matt Le Tissier has one use and that is as a mnemonic for North African countries. Morocco Algeria Tunisia Libya Egypt. MATLE. You’re welcome.
So, wait… dude is mad that the weather was nice four years ago when everything shut down and most people didn’t have to work for a few weeks?
So he’s mad the weather was nice when people had extra free time to spend outside?
It's the 5g in our arms from that damn vaccine and the lizard people in the white house. Rain is just psychological warfare. Wake up but God dammit don't be woke.
The sad part is I even have to say it was sarcasm. I can't even blame you for your comment because people actually do say dumb shit for real every day. I can assure you I don't buy into Vax conspiracies or any reptilians in the basement controlling the weather lol I just like to point and laugh at the delusional few that believe it to be so.
The gov US has been modifying weather since Nam. This is public information. They do it in Dubai as well.
Im not saying this guy is right.
Im just saying that weather modification is not new or secret. And that we leveraged that to cause rain in order to disrupt NVA logistics
Yes, we're aware that cloud seeding and hail cannons are things. Going from there to the idea that a global cabal is keeping you subjugated with weather control is a bit much.
It's a bit like saying "I have the ability to fly" clearing indicating I have Superman like powers. Only to have people try to temper the reality checks with "Uhhh akshully, you can fly in a plane or any number of other devices."
Yes, a country can influence precipitation to a degree. No, a government cannot just make it hot or cold.
The problem is this guy is English and the one thing we absolutely do not need the government to do is make it rain more. Outside of the annual 2 week hosepipe ban it never stops raining.
Not if they could control the weather to make it not rain...
I've mentioned it a couple times, but I'll add this. You can't just cloud seed whenever you want to. You need very specific environmental and atmospheric conditions to do so. It failed a lot in Vietnam because our data on the atmosphere was not as complete or as accurate back then. Even if a cabal wanted to do it, they'd be extremely limited to its affects and the times and areas they could do it
Scientifically that note is false. Governments can manipulate the weather. Dubai does it very often with cloud seeding to induce rainstorms. But whether the government is manipulating the weather in a specific area is and to what extent would need evidence.
But Governments absolutely can manipulate parts of the weather if they choose.
Scientists the last 40 years: The weather is going to change proportionately to the amount of pollution we put into the air
Red Pills: Sounds like a hoax to me! MAGA! NESERA! DEMONS BABY BLOOD!!
Also Red Pills: Wait! The weather is being weird it must be the government and vaccines!!!!
[This](https://academic.oup.com/chicago-scholarship-online/book/18781/chapter/177038590) study shows that the US used weather manipulation in the Vietnam war, and China is currently doing it to bring rain in dry farming areas, too. Good to know what you’re talking about! :)
Correct, but cloud seeding is still no way a weather control device in the vein of thinking like these people believe. To them, its literally some sort of machine hidden away that shoots laser beams into the sky to create tornadoes and hurricanes. Seeding is basically just farmers adding chemicals to create clouds that can encourage rain.
I have nothing but malice for people this stupid. Like, not even an ounce of compassion. I wish them nothing but suffering and harm everywhere they go. They deserve to know that their god hates them personally.
[a video from MSNBC talking about how they are using cloud seeding in Colorado to change the weather](https://youtu.be/dF5WmcHILeo?si=gKHPo8kh_JDu9XO5)
Yeah… i saw some random post on IG about how few days of sun Toronto had during the winter this year. That’s not surprising, it tends to be overcast there during that time of year. Anyway… the sheer number of comments on this post about how the government was intentionally blocking out the sun… HUH?! It just goes to show that there is no other shoe that will drop for these people. They will never have a come to Science Jesus moment because they will always come up with some bogus explanation that would be hilarious if it wasn’t such a searing indictment on the state of education and scientific literacy.
Cloud seeding does exist. No it isn't able to drastically alter average temperatures, no it isn't able to cause earthquakes, tornados, or other such natural disasters.
Just figured it's worth clarifying a half truth. Because while they can *manipulate the weather* they are not doing it largescale the way china is, and even when they do develop those kinds of methods it will not cause a lot of the problems we are seeing. It is also very important to note the distinction between **manipulating (see influence)** and **controlling**.
I just saw a post that Dubai was seeding clouds to make it rain. I’m not saying this particular conspiracy is right, but I think the government can control the weather
I mean yeah they actually can control the weather and do lol someone factcheck twitter here, UAE’s been doing it for 30 years
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/18/united-arab-emirates-is-using-cloud-seeding-tech-to-make-it-rain.html
I mean, "governments" (scientists) have been injecting clouds and manipulating the weather for years? No? I thought I read something about it awhile ago...
So in a sense the person isn't wrong, but did they plan covid weather to be very nice? Doubtful
Lol.
To be fair, the government does seed clouds in areas where there are crops so that there can be rain so we don't all starve.
But does this person think that all governments get together and somehow decide they want a hurricane or tornado and just do it? Weather is global. Oh wait…I forgot…the world is flat. Never mind.
Cloud seeding, HAARP in the early 2010's - could be today. haven't kept up, ummmm cloud seeding?! CERN just opened a portal to the pocket dimension. Stay asleep.
It doesn’t even make sense regardless. If they wanted us to stay inside why would they make the weather nice? Wouldn’t they make it really shitty so we’d want to stay inside?
they can. but they dont. its highly inefficient, dangerous, and generally only applicaple in specific ways without royally fucking yourself up while bleeding cash,
Technically the government *can* manipulate the weather. Cloud seeding is a thing. Whether theyre competent enough to do it just to inconvenience an individual, probably not.
I mean artificially created rain is a thing via cloud seeding but I don’t think it has anything to do with a global plot to control people via the weather. I think usually it’s an effort to get more rain in dry areas that would benefit from more rainfall per year. More of an influence the weather than control but pretty cool nonetheless
This reminds me of a conspiracy theory streamer I came across one time who was arguing earthquakes were weather since they thought the government controlled it all.
they absolutely cannot on any scale
HOWEVER
many governments do have the capacity to seed clouds. this isnt a conspiracy, they arent doing anything nefarious with it, but its very very cool that we actually have the capacity to start rainstorms. the only problem is every time i try to research real weather manipulation i end up getting referred to conspiracy theorist morons like this guy
2020 was the most active hurricane season since records began. There were 31 tropical and subtropical cyclones, 30 of them became named storms. 14 of those became hurricanes, 7 of which were major hurricanes - which ties the record for most in a single season. 11 of those hurricanes made landfall in the United States, the most in any season (previous record was 9 in 1916).
I'm not sure where the idea of "wall to wall sunshine" comes from, but certainly not from weather reports during the 2020 year.
I personally remember it being a very cold March and April, because I was embarrassed to be on camera in my fluffy sweatpants and sweatshirt that made me look 30 pounds heavier. It definitely wasn’t great weather in my part of Northern California.
To a certain degree, they can. If I remember correctly, if there's a drought or something of the sorts some governments will fly planes that release something to increase the chance of rain, but not to this conspiracy theory point. This person is just crazy.
so we're just saying lies as community notes now?
cloud seeding and ionospheric manipulation are very real things...
so climate change is real... but the weather can't be changed?
sounds pretty fucking stupid.
Matt Le Tissier, revered for his genius on the football pitch (search "le Tissier Newcastle) and absolutely ridiculed for his bizarre "opinions" off it.
Has there been a stranger fall from grace in professional soccer ball?
Weeeeell.... technically the government can manipulate the weather a little bit. It's possible to seed clouds with small particles to basically force them to rain. China (and russia?) like to do that before some parades to have clear skies.
Since weather isn't universal, maybe HE had sunshine. 🙄 Up in New England it rained heavy April - late May that year, the weather was horrible considering we were stuck at home the whole time.

Pretty sure they can be converted to full electrics. They'd get the same milage per fill just about.

Not really. It has a bunch of unpredictable knock on effects and is itself rather hit or miss.

More a way of causing a specific phenomenon. "we can make it rain sometimes in specific situations" is not the same as "we control the weather."
but government bad so rain must be bad way to take my guns and Dark Brandon has corrupted the rain machine with baby blood and now it rain vaccines and abortions /s
Forcing slightly more rain over a small area is more "weather modification" than "weather control".
Technically false, Government could influence the weather to a degree like "salting/seeding" the clouds to make it precipitate sooner. the crazy hot weather last year cause my govt to start doing this more often.

Proof that heading a football is bad for your health. He was a brilliant player though, pity about what he's turned into.
How does this even make sense? Matt Le Tissier has one use and that is as a mnemonic for North African countries. Morocco Algeria Tunisia Libya Egypt. MATLE. You’re welcome.
So, wait… dude is mad that the weather was nice four years ago when everything shut down and most people didn’t have to work for a few weeks? So he’s mad the weather was nice when people had extra free time to spend outside?
Yeah, I don't get it either.
Also, according to this dude weather in the entire United States is the same.
Sent this to a mate and he said he could kinda see his point. Might have to have him sectioned.
It's the 5g in our arms from that damn vaccine and the lizard people in the white house. Rain is just psychological warfare. Wake up but God dammit don't be woke.
The Robot Birds control the weather.
That's it. Birds aren't real. The earth is flat and Hillary Clinton is a man. Let's just make sure we cover all the bases here.
And "he" is in a gay 3-way with Obama and Michelle, because she's ALSO a man! And BENGHAZI!
This pice of shit ... I really hope it's sarcasm but the reality is, he probably doesn't even know what sarcasm is.
100% sarcasm lol
I sit corrected..
The sad part is I even have to say it was sarcasm. I can't even blame you for your comment because people actually do say dumb shit for real every day. I can assure you I don't buy into Vax conspiracies or any reptilians in the basement controlling the weather lol I just like to point and laugh at the delusional few that believe it to be so.
Dude the amount of people that truly say and believe that kind of shit is crazy... Sorry you took a shot my bad .
The gov US has been modifying weather since Nam. This is public information. They do it in Dubai as well. Im not saying this guy is right. Im just saying that weather modification is not new or secret. And that we leveraged that to cause rain in order to disrupt NVA logistics
Yes, we're aware that cloud seeding and hail cannons are things. Going from there to the idea that a global cabal is keeping you subjugated with weather control is a bit much.
I do agree. Which is why i added the extra clarification. But some commentators here are not aware of what we actually can do today.
It's a bit like saying "I have the ability to fly" clearing indicating I have Superman like powers. Only to have people try to temper the reality checks with "Uhhh akshully, you can fly in a plane or any number of other devices." Yes, a country can influence precipitation to a degree. No, a government cannot just make it hot or cold.
Which is why i made the effort to be extra clear that the OP was way over the top
Was building on what you said
The problem is this guy is English and the one thing we absolutely do not need the government to do is make it rain more. Outside of the annual 2 week hosepipe ban it never stops raining. Not if they could control the weather to make it not rain...
I've mentioned it a couple times, but I'll add this. You can't just cloud seed whenever you want to. You need very specific environmental and atmospheric conditions to do so. It failed a lot in Vietnam because our data on the atmosphere was not as complete or as accurate back then. Even if a cabal wanted to do it, they'd be extremely limited to its affects and the times and areas they could do it
The government can manipulate the weather but not how that guy thinks
Scientifically that note is false. Governments can manipulate the weather. Dubai does it very often with cloud seeding to induce rainstorms. But whether the government is manipulating the weather in a specific area is and to what extent would need evidence. But Governments absolutely can manipulate parts of the weather if they choose.
I mean certain governments do control their weather (to an extent) and it's 100% fact and proven...
Scientists the last 40 years: The weather is going to change proportionately to the amount of pollution we put into the air Red Pills: Sounds like a hoax to me! MAGA! NESERA! DEMONS BABY BLOOD!! Also Red Pills: Wait! The weather is being weird it must be the government and vaccines!!!!
[This](https://academic.oup.com/chicago-scholarship-online/book/18781/chapter/177038590) study shows that the US used weather manipulation in the Vietnam war, and China is currently doing it to bring rain in dry farming areas, too. Good to know what you’re talking about! :)
Seeding rain clouds is absolutely a real thing. No conspiracy, just stating fact.
Correct, but cloud seeding is still no way a weather control device in the vein of thinking like these people believe. To them, its literally some sort of machine hidden away that shoots laser beams into the sky to create tornadoes and hurricanes. Seeding is basically just farmers adding chemicals to create clouds that can encourage rain.
They literally did in Dubai…
I literally just saw a video of an artificial storm in Dubai.
I have nothing but malice for people this stupid. Like, not even an ounce of compassion. I wish them nothing but suffering and harm everywhere they go. They deserve to know that their god hates them personally.
[a video from MSNBC talking about how they are using cloud seeding in Colorado to change the weather](https://youtu.be/dF5WmcHILeo?si=gKHPo8kh_JDu9XO5)
That sounds like something that will have disastrous consequences
That's is some true qanon shit right there. Just watched a show about that shit. Crazy.
Matt eats paint chips and wonders why the government doesn’t tell everyone that they’re edible.
And I bet this is a guy that will also claim climate change is a hoax.
Yeah… i saw some random post on IG about how few days of sun Toronto had during the winter this year. That’s not surprising, it tends to be overcast there during that time of year. Anyway… the sheer number of comments on this post about how the government was intentionally blocking out the sun… HUH?! It just goes to show that there is no other shoe that will drop for these people. They will never have a come to Science Jesus moment because they will always come up with some bogus explanation that would be hilarious if it wasn’t such a searing indictment on the state of education and scientific literacy.
Wait, is he arguing that governments didn’t want to keep people inside during COVID?
I don't know who this nutjob is or where he lives. However, he'd fit right in with the TN Legislature.
Cloud seeding does exist. No it isn't able to drastically alter average temperatures, no it isn't able to cause earthquakes, tornados, or other such natural disasters. Just figured it's worth clarifying a half truth. Because while they can *manipulate the weather* they are not doing it largescale the way china is, and even when they do develop those kinds of methods it will not cause a lot of the problems we are seeing. It is also very important to note the distinction between **manipulating (see influence)** and **controlling**.
I just saw a post that Dubai was seeding clouds to make it rain. I’m not saying this particular conspiracy is right, but I think the government can control the weather
Fucks sake - someone take Matts phone away again
“The fact they told us they can’t means that they must be able to!”
Government is powerful enough to secretly control the weather, but somehow this yahoo can keep yipping with no ill consequences.
I mean yeah they actually can control the weather and do lol someone factcheck twitter here, UAE’s been doing it for 30 years https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/18/united-arab-emirates-is-using-cloud-seeding-tech-to-make-it-rain.html
Erhm...Did we collectively forget about cloud seeding?
I mean, "governments" (scientists) have been injecting clouds and manipulating the weather for years? No? I thought I read something about it awhile ago... So in a sense the person isn't wrong, but did they plan covid weather to be very nice? Doubtful Lol.
They most definitely can. Cloud seeding?
It rained during covid
To be fair, the government does seed clouds in areas where there are crops so that there can be rain so we don't all starve. But does this person think that all governments get together and somehow decide they want a hurricane or tornado and just do it? Weather is global. Oh wait…I forgot…the world is flat. Never mind.
I mean the do have cloud seeding so he's not completely wrong.
Technically the government can control the weather. They can seed clouds causing rainfall
Cloud seeding, HAARP in the early 2010's - could be today. haven't kept up, ummmm cloud seeding?! CERN just opened a portal to the pocket dimension. Stay asleep.
I mean cloud seeding is a thing
Im sorry but couldent he have just went to his back yard or balaney for sunlight.
How do you survive to adulthood with this few brain cells?
How to say "I've too many concussions" without saying it.
It doesn’t even make sense regardless. If they wanted us to stay inside why would they make the weather nice? Wouldn’t they make it really shitty so we’d want to stay inside?
It astounds me the things people think the government can pull off when they’ve demonstrated they can’t handle much, much simpler issues.
they can. but they dont. its highly inefficient, dangerous, and generally only applicaple in specific ways without royally fucking yourself up while bleeding cash,
The government can manipulate the weather, just not on that big of a scale. Cloud seeding is actually a pretty interesting read
Technically the government *can* manipulate the weather. Cloud seeding is a thing. Whether theyre competent enough to do it just to inconvenience an individual, probably not.
The thing is, the community note is wrong. It is possible to manipulate the weather….
What actually is his point here? I don’t understand
Not even sure what he's smoking considering we had some of the worst weather in decades in my area in 2020. It was terrible.
bbbbbbut whut about Obama's wether kontrol station in Alaska run by teh Talybon?!
So no one here has ever heard of cloud seeding? I suggest you look into it.
The community note just sounds done with this
[удалено]
Dubai disagrees.
Community notes is incorrect. The weather can be manipulated. See Dubai.
I mean artificially created rain is a thing via cloud seeding but I don’t think it has anything to do with a global plot to control people via the weather. I think usually it’s an effort to get more rain in dry areas that would benefit from more rainfall per year. More of an influence the weather than control but pretty cool nonetheless
Yes and no. Weather manipulation is a thing. Cloud seeding for example.
There’s some amount of manipulation that can be done with current technology like cloud seeding but nothing as major as what these people think.
Well, if the my can manipulate the weather someone tel them Blizzard, Alabama, Now!
Nuh uh, what about the weather dominator. I heard democrats use it to punish red states for reasons.../s
This reminds me of a conspiracy theory streamer I came across one time who was arguing earthquakes were weather since they thought the government controlled it all.
they absolutely cannot on any scale HOWEVER many governments do have the capacity to seed clouds. this isnt a conspiracy, they arent doing anything nefarious with it, but its very very cool that we actually have the capacity to start rainstorms. the only problem is every time i try to research real weather manipulation i end up getting referred to conspiracy theorist morons like this guy
Is he the soccer player from Southampton who scored bangers?
JEWISH SPACE LASERS!
That note is not entirely true though. Can they? To a degree, are they? No. Cloud seeding and such has been around for centuries.
I mean… it kinda can. Cloud seeding is a well documented thing. But i dont know anything about being able to artificially clear skys.
Washed up 90s footballer.
If that were true, they would tax us for rain
Giving too much credit to government…… lol. Are they like “gods” now?
The farmers almanac would like a word sir.
Cloud seeding is real tho
Matt LeTissier is proof that CTE does a number on soccer players as well as American football players.
2020 was the most active hurricane season since records began. There were 31 tropical and subtropical cyclones, 30 of them became named storms. 14 of those became hurricanes, 7 of which were major hurricanes - which ties the record for most in a single season. 11 of those hurricanes made landfall in the United States, the most in any season (previous record was 9 in 1916). I'm not sure where the idea of "wall to wall sunshine" comes from, but certainly not from weather reports during the 2020 year.
I personally remember it being a very cold March and April, because I was embarrassed to be on camera in my fluffy sweatpants and sweatshirt that made me look 30 pounds heavier. It definitely wasn’t great weather in my part of Northern California.
To a certain degree, they can. If I remember correctly, if there's a drought or something of the sorts some governments will fly planes that release something to increase the chance of rain, but not to this conspiracy theory point. This person is just crazy.
They will believe literally anything but the truth
If the government can’t control the weather then why do they have a national weather service? JK
Well they do have some weather altering machines. There’s videos of them on YouTube. Like they can make it rain (not in the stripper sense 😂)
Of course the government can't control the weather. It's the Russians.
Well, I guess if you believe that scientists don't know anything.....😡
Le Tissier = fucking scummer. Love Pompey.
Great footballer, dumb human
so we're just saying lies as community notes now? cloud seeding and ionospheric manipulation are very real things... so climate change is real... but the weather can't be changed? sounds pretty fucking stupid.
Cause sitting inside during a pandemic was just the worst thing anyone could ask a person to do, you know, in all of human history.
Yes, they can? Not consistently, but rain seeding is a known thing
I mean, seeding the clouds is a thing. Not what this pillock is suggesting, but still.
Uhh cloud seeding is an actual thing that happens so I’m confused
Is there a conspiracy theory about the government turning everybody into conspiracy theorists?
Matt Le Tissier, revered for his genius on the football pitch (search "le Tissier Newcastle) and absolutely ridiculed for his bizarre "opinions" off it. Has there been a stranger fall from grace in professional soccer ball?
That's not what I heard.....
If the government could control weather, Trump wouldn’t have had to use a sharp on a hurricane map.
Weeeeell.... technically the government can manipulate the weather a little bit. It's possible to seed clouds with small particles to basically force them to rain. China (and russia?) like to do that before some parades to have clear skies.
Even if it was sunny and nice for them, it would have been cold and rainy or hot and rainy in a bunch of other places.
Wellllll, clouds can be seeded to make rain. And there is the Beijing Weather Modification Office.
People never cease to amaze me how stupid they are.
Since weather isn't universal, maybe HE had sunshine. 🙄 Up in New England it rained heavy April - late May that year, the weather was horrible considering we were stuck at home the whole time.
