The world of terrorism and warfare are becoming more and more sophisticated.  Hijacking planes, suicide bombers, tsunamis and hurricanes….is weather warfare actually a reality?  Are the seemingly unpredictable and unstable weather patterns more systematic than we are led to believe?  These are just a few of the mounting questions Jerry Smith covers in “Weather Warfare.”

“Weather Warfare” contains a wealth of research, including pictures, diagrams, patent numbers, and website references.  Smith states, “I am not a scientist, nor a technician – I am a writer, a researcher, and occasionally an activist.  I don’t know how to build weapons, only how to put sentences and paragraphs together.  While HAARP is an incredibly technical subject, mine are not technical books.  I write about the potential impact of this technology on our lives – on you – but not so much about how this stuff actually works, because frankly, I don’t have a clue.”  What Smith lacks in scientific knowledge he certainly makes up in the depth of research material and wide ranging network of interested and interconnected contacts.  

Covering the history of weather modification from the rainmakers through the technology of the twentieth century, Smith provides the reader with the realization that this once profitable enterprise has moved to the secretive, more complex realms of government.  With the Enmod Legislation beginning in 1976, the world of weather modification moved deeper into the underground world…or did it stop altogether? 

The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) located in Anchorage, Alaska is covered extensively in the book.  The mystery and secrecy, not to mention the pages of intriguing patents, surrounding the use and purpose of the site has resulted in a variety of theories…are they just conspiracy theories or do enough facts exist to support them?

“Weather Warfare” also raises various questions and provides various, and often opposing, insights from a variety of players in the weather modification world.  Theories on the use and impact of chemtrails and geoengineering leave the reader wondering if the intent is on saving or destroying our planet.

While this well-researched book. “Weather Warfare,” raises far more questions than it answers, it serves well to shock the reader into paying attention to the world beyond the papers, the television, and the government speeches.  Is there enough consistency in the evidence to draw conclusions?  Do we need to pay closer attention and look beyond what we think we see?
