People choose to live in some pretty baffling places, like those towns sitting at the base of volcanos or the precariously placed monasteries in the Himalayan mountains. Here’s one that looks like it might have been hit by a meteor and residents just decided to carry on as usual…
Welcome to the town of Setenil de las Bodegas in Spain, where around 3,000 inhabitants are living quite literally, under a rock.
CUMBERLAND CAVERNS is one of the most extensive caves known in Tennessee. Portions of this system were originally known as Higgenbotham Cave and Henshaw Cave, but integration of these two caves plus considerable exploration of previously unvisited sections has in the past several years considerably enlarged the cave. More than 32 miles are now known.
Aaron Higgenbotham, a surveyor, discovered Higgenbotham Cave in 1810. Venturing into the cave alone, he was trapped for three days on a high ledge when his torch went out. According to local legend, when a rescue party reached him, his hair had turned white.. . . Visit Web Site page.
Bluegrass Underground is a musical adventure series that shines a light on purveyors of musical authenticity in a space unlike any other on (or under) earth. Bluegrass Underground emanates from the Volcano Room, a subterranean amphitheatre 333 feet below McMinnville, Tennessee at Cumberland Caverns. The acoustic properties of the Volcano Room are singular. In fact the room only resonates at 2 frequencies meaning that experiencing live music there is akin to attending a concert inside a recording studio. . . . Visit Web Site

Scientists have long believed that lava erupted from certain oceanic volcanoes contains materials from the early Earth’s crust. But decisive evidence for this phenomenon has proven elusive.
New research from a team including Carnegie’s Erik Hauri demonstrates that oceanic volcanic rocks contain samples of recycled crust dating back to the Archean era 2.5 billion years ago. Their work is published in Nature. . . . Read Complete Report
Weather War? New evidence suggests US & Russia are embroiled in an illegal race to harness the power of hurricanes & earthquakes

Photo: This mushroom cloud has nothing to with weather manipulation. Operation Crossroads was a series ofnuclear weapontests conducted by theUnited StatesatBikini Atollin mid-1946. I just posted it with this article to give us a visual of what the pilot reported below. SOURCE Wikimedia Commons (Public Domain)
THE huge mushroom cloud soared skywards, the captain was gripped by fear, believing his plane was about to be engulfed by the fall-out from a nuclear explosion. After declaring mayday and ordering his crew to don oxygen masks, the experienced pilot had the presence of mind to record that the cloud measured an estimated 200 miles in diameter and was tipped by an eerie light, like nothing he had seen before. Eventually, it soared harmlessly into the atmosphere, leaving the passenger jet to continue safely on its journey from Anchorage, in Alaska, to Tokyo.
But far below, a fleet of fishing boats trawling the sea between Japan and the Soviet Union was drenched by a violent but short-lived downpour before the weather suddenly cleared. Nuclear tests and volcanic activity were later ruled out but scientists concluded that this was not a natural phenomenon. More than two decades later suspicion still exists that the stunned airline crew and fishermen in 1973 were witnessing a sinister Cold War experiment, in which water from the Sea of Japan was blown into the air to create clouds and rain.
British government papers, just released by the National Archives, show that throughout the Seventies there was deep mistrust between the two superpowers over environmental warfare. The documents reveal that both the US, which led the field, and the Soviet Union had secret military programmes with the goal of controlling the world’s climate. “By the year 2025 the United States will own the weather, ” one scientist is said to have boasted. . ..(Continue)

Russia’s HAARP – Weather Modification? or Research Station?
These high-voltage pulse generators (Tesla Coils) belong to the All-Russian ElectroTechnical Institute’s “high-voltage scientific research center”
+55° 55′ 26.15″, +36° 49′ 10.97″
According to many people from Russia I have spoken with, every year at the May Parade in Moscow’s Red Square, if the weather is not nice they will turn these Giant Tesla Coils on and clear out the skies.
The issue of “Weather Modification” is no longer controversial, so I don’t understand why the US Government still tries to hide it and keep it secret??? Only in the USA!!! . . . Text Posted with video on youtube

Did The USA use HAARP or Scaler Weapons on Russia???
At least 80 people have been killed in severe flooding, after Russia’s southern Krasnodar region was swamped by torrential rain over the last 24 hours. Dozens have been injured and hundreds displaced, as the floods caused widespread structural damage across the popular resort area. RT’s Tom Barton reports. . . Text posted with video on youtube
“Senator Claiborne Pell several years ago had been quoted in a news story in which he had said, now that we can control the weather, create earthquakes and tidal waves and use it as a weapon of war we need to do a treaty.” . . . Russia and the United States have worked together hand in hand for twenty years in developing weather control. The Russians were here at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories cooperatively working, and received an award for some of their work on weather control. It is a project that has been done, many years ago. . . Bob Fletcher” (Continue after Video report)
“The military has had about 20 years to work on weather warfare methods, which it euphemistically calls weather modification. For example, rainmaking technology was taken for a few test rides in Vietnam. The US Department of Defense sampled lightning and hurricane manipulation studies in Project Skyfire and Project Stormfury. And they looked at some complicated technologies that would give big effects. Angels Don’t Play This HAARP cites an expert who says the military studied both lasers and chemicals which they figured could damage the ozone layer over an enemy. Looking at ways to cause earthquakes, as well as to detect them, was part of the project named Prime Argus, decades ago. The money for that came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, now under the acronym ARPA).In 1994 the US Air Force revealed its Spacecast 2020 master plan which includes weather control. Scientists have experimented with weather control since the 1940s, but Spacecast 2020 noted that “using environmental modification techniques to destroy, damage or injure another state [is] prohibited”. Having said that, the Air Force claimed that advances in technology “compels a re-examination of this sensitive and potentially risky topic”.As far back as 1958, the chief White House adviser on weather modification, Captain Howard T. Orville, said the US defense department was studying “ways to manipulate the charges of the Earth and sky and so affect theweather by using an electronic beam to ionise or de-ionise the atmosphere over a given area.In 1966, Professor Gordon J. F. MacDonald was Associate Director of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California, Los Angeles, was a member of the President’s Science Advisory Committee, and later a member of the President’s Council on Environmental Quality. He published papers on the use of environmental control technologies for military purposes. MacDonald made a revealing comment: “The key to geophysical warfare is the identification of environmental instabilities to which the addition of a small amount of energy would release vastly greater amounts of energy.”World-recognised scientist MacDonald had a number of ideas for using the environment as a weapon system and he contributed to what was, at the time, the dream of a futurist. When he wrote his chapter, “How to Wreck the Environment”, for the book Unless Peace Comes, he was not kidding around. In it he describes the use of weather manipulation, climate modification, polar ice-cap melting or destabilization, ozone depletion techniques, earthquake engineering, ocean wave control and brainwave manipulation using the planet’s energy fields. He also said that these types of weapons would be developed and, when used, would be virtually undetectable by their victims. Is HAARP that weapon? The military’s intention to do environmental engineering is well-documented.HAARP: VANDALISM IN THE SKY? by Dr Nick Begich and Jeane Manning
I guess we should give the final word on the subject to the main adviser and supporter of Obama’s presidential campaign and the man who will lead his foreign advisory people if Obama wins:
As far-fetched as this subject may seem, leaders in the elite global establishment have intimated the existence of this technology and its capabilities. In 1970 Zbigniew Brzezinski published a book titled Between Two Ages. Brzezinski is one of the founding directors of the Trilateral Commission. In this book he said, “Technology will make available, to the leaders of major nations, techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of the security forces need be appraised. . . . Technology of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm.” . . . (Continue)
After looking at all of the available information the question still remains, can man control the weather in any significant way?
Highlights of this report:
Brzezinski wrote the above statement in 1970. Senate hearings were held in 1974 to investigate weather control during the Viet Nam War. . . . In 1977 the members of the United Nations joined in supposable ending weather manipulation of weather for aggressive purposes. . . In 1995 General Gordon R. Sullivan stated, The technology is there, waiting for us to pull it all together” . . . In 1997 United States Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen stated “Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.” — [Note he stated “Other ARE engaged in” meaning currently] . . . a study was made for the US Air Force which reached the conclusion, the Air Force will Own the Weather by 2025. . . and in 2008 China claims to have controlled the weather for the Olympics. And Haarp is doing sometng!Combined with all of the other information available, which I’ve only covered a small portion thereof, I think the evidence speaks for itself. While I don’t believe that the government can control a storm such as the one called Ike. I am afraid all they need is time.

Any research report into weather manipulation has to start with one man. That man being the father of the worldwide electrical system,Nikola Tesla. As Margaret Cheney reported in the biography, Tesla, Man Out of Time (1981) Tesla has been quoted as stating:
“I am positive in my conviction that we can erect a plant of proper design in an arid region, work it according to certain observations and rules, and by its means draw from the ocean unlimited amounts of water for irrigation and power purposes. If I do not live to carry it out, someone else will, but I feel sure that I am right.” (page 148)
Of course the above statement is looking at the idea of weather manipulation from the mind of someone who was concerned with helping his fellowman have an easier life which, of course, was his downfall. Unfortunately the controllers do not feel exactly the same way. [Read my article “Free Energy? No Utility Bills?”].
At any rate this is where we start looking into the possibility of the controllers using some form of weather manipulation today. . . The death of Tesla on January 7, 1943 and the immediate removal of all of his equipment, scientific experiment records and papers . . . NICOLA TESLA: WEATHER AND WEAPONS.
It was just four years later on October 1947 that the first attempt to control a major hurricane was attempted. The experiment was named Project Cirrusand ended in disaster.
It was a collaboration of the United States Weather Bureau, the US Army Signal Corps, the Office of Naval Research, and the US Air Force.[1] After several preparations, and initial skepticism by government scientists,[6] the first attempt to modify a hurricane began on October 13, 1947 on a hurricane that was heading west to east and out to sea.[5] . . . . [continue]
After this disaster there is little in the way of information about trying to control these weather monsters until the 1960s and 70s when scientists working under the study name, Project Stormfury attempted to weaken hurricanes with little published success. Here’s a link to a pretty good synopsis of the early history of trying to control hurricanes.
And just as the Mate had told me as we plowed through the Pacific Ocean on the flying bridge of the freighter Silver Falcon with a load of rice for Viet Nam back in the ’70s our government did actually succeed in controling the weather during the Viet Nam war.

EXCERPT Make Mud, Not War
In 1966 the 54th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron of the U.S. Air Force engaged in an aggressive cloud-seeding program over North Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. By lacing clouds with silver iodide, the military hoped to extend the monsoon season and increase the amount of mud along the paths and roads of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, restricting enemy movement. The initial project, Operation Popeye, reported positive results, and the effort was continued from 1967 to 1972 under the code name Operation Motorpool. Although some inside the operation said their attempts to “make mud, not war” impeded the movement of enemy supplies, evidence for that is “unverifiable.”

Because of the Weather Modification operations during the Vietnam War a Senate Hearing took place in 1974 on just that subject.
The threat of weather control became such a real and important issue that by 1977 the United Nations held a CONVENTION ON THE PROHIBITION OF MILITARY OR ANY OTHER HOSTILE USE OF ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATION TECHNIQUES. It was signed in Geneva May 18th 1977,
According to the State Department’s website, “The Senate gave its advice and consent to ratification on November 28, 1979, by a vote of 98-0. The President ratified the Convention December 13, 1979. The Convention entered into force for the United States on January 17, 1980, when the U.S. instrument of ratification was deposited in New York.”
The preamble state: The States Parties to this Convention, Guided by the interest of consolidating peace, and wishing to contribute to the cause of halting the arms race, and of bringing about general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control, and of saving mankind from the danger of using new means of warfare.
Article 1 states that, 1. Each State Party to this Convention undertakes not to engage in military or any other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects as the means of destruction, damage or injury to any other State Party. . . . (Continue)
Of course, as any Native American can tell you a treaty or covenant signed by the US government isn’t worth the paper its written on.
By 1996 the US Air Force had commissioned a series of papers of where they should be militarily by the year 2025. One section of that report, Owning the weather in 2025 – Military Applications of Weather Modification is a very telling document. The web site, The World Vision Portal has saved us time by highlighting the weather control portion of the lengthy report.

The technology is there, waiting for us to pull it all together [General Gordon R. Sullivan, “Moving into the 21st Century: America’s Army and Modernization,” Military Review (July 1993) quoted in Mary Ann Seagraves and Richard Szymber, “Weather a Force Multiplier,” Military Review, November/December 1995, 75].
It could become a more important weapon than the atom bomb [William B. Meyer, “The Life and Times of US Weather: What Can We Do About It?” American Heritage 37, no. 4 (June/July 1986), 48].

A New Debate Over Steering Hurricanes
Should taxpayers fund research into weather modification? By Alex Kingsbury
Posted June 13, 2008
In theory, the idea is simple: Lower the temperature of the clouds, and scientists could weaken a hurricane or even alter its path. In one scenario, airplanes would spread a layer of soot into the icy clouds at the top of a storm system, cooling them further and slowing the winds. Cut those wind speeds even a little, scientists say, and the devastating power of a storm surge could be drastically cut, perhaps saving lives and property. . . . (Continue)

Once again evidence that the planets are cavernous and the probable home of any life is where we have been speculating it was for the past 50 years – INSIDE the planets. . . EDITOR
“Explanation: What created this unusual hole in Mars? The hole was discovered by chance on images of the dusty slopes of Mars’ Pavonis Mons volcano taken by the HiRISE instrument aboard the robotic Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter currently circling Mars. The hole appears to be an opening to an underground cavern, partly illuminated on the image right. Analysis of this and follow-up images revealed the opening to be about 35 meters across, while the interior shadow angle indicates that the underlying cavern is roughly 20 meters deep. Why there is a circular crater surrounding this hole remains a topic of speculation, as is the full extent of the underlying cavern. Holes such as this are of particular interest because their interior caves are relatively protected from the harsh surface of Mars, making them relatively good candidates to contain Martian life. These pits are therefore prime targets for possible future spacecraft, robots, and even human interplanetary explorers.” . . . from The Black Vault
