Amid the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene two weeks ago, far-right Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Georgia) suggested that the U.S. government has the ability to control inclement weather.
Green shared this post with her 1.2 million followers on X: “Yes, they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.” The “they” to which Green referred is the U.S. government.
President Joe Biden wasted no time in calling Green's remarks “ridiculous" and "stupid." Here is Biden’s statement:
"Marjorie Taylor Greene, the congresswoman from Georgia, is now saying the federal government is literally controlling the weather, we’re controlling the weather. It’s beyond ridiculous. It’s so stupid. It’s got to stop."
So, can the U.S. government control or modify inclement weather? Yes, it can.
“Weather Modification” is described in Wikipedia and discussed at length. The U.S. government is the world’s leader in weather modification.
Here is Wikipedia’s overview of weather modification:
“Weather modification is the act of intentionally manipulating or altering the weather. The most common form of weather modification is cloud seeding, which increases rainfall or snowfall, usually for the purpose of increasing the local water supply. Weather modification can also have the goal of preventing damaging weather, such as hail or hurricanes, from occurring; or of provoking damaging weather against an enemy, as a tactic of military or economic warfare like Operation Popeye, where clouds were seeded to prolong the monsoon in Vietnam. Weather modification in warfare has been banned by the United Nations under the Environmental Modification Convention.”
I was briefed on the U.S. government's weather modification program in 2006 when accounting giant KPMG was conducting due diligence in connection with my attempted acquisition of Evergreen International Aviation. At the time, Evergreen was a “Black Ops” contractor for the Department of Defense. (KPMG Due Diligence Report, at pages 15 and 32). Evergreen possessed a specially modified 747 SuperTanker that had the technical capability to conduct clandestine weather modification operations, if ordered to do so. (KPMG Report, at page 20).
The "pros" and "cons" of the government's weather modification program were explained to me in person by Evergreen's founder and CEO, Delford Smith. The same information was provided verbally to KPMG by Smith. (KPMG Report, at page 7).
Marjorie Taylor Green may be wrong about many things, but she is right about the U.S. government’s ability to conduct weather modifications on hurricanes, hail storms, tornadoes, and other inclement weather conditions whenever the President of the United States declares that it is in the nation’s best interest to do so.

Green's exact quote is this, “Yes, they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.” The “they” to which Green referred is the U.S. government. Green is correct regarding the government's technical ability to modify inclement weather. I don't think anyone is suggesting that the government unleashed hurricanes on Florida.
The government often conceals from us what it is really doing to unsuspecting Americans. A classic example of this concealment is the federal government's unethical, non-consensual, and secret Tuskegee Syphilis Study, which withheld penicillin from about 300 poor, Black, syphilitic men in Macon County, Alabama from 1932 to 1972 before it was exposed by an investigative journalist. Similarly, the FBI's covert COINTELPRO program targeted and harassed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and thousands of other Black civil rights activists from 1956 to 1972 before it was exposed by an investigative journalist. Whenever government officials quickly dismiss claims that have some basis in fact, I get very suspicious.
I'd like to add my take on cloud seeding technology.
Years ago, I worked as a consultant to the utility plant at a mine site in Indonesia. The hydro dam was running short of water due to an unusual dry season. So the mine sites hired a cloud seeding company.
The tech is that a plane flies into the clouds to help intensify the rain by releasing chemicals in the clouds. The desired result is more rain.
Now, although possible, cloud seeding never resulted in creating a storm like a CAT 5 hurricane nor did it produce enough rain to eliminate the risk of a drier dry season. The location was in a rain forest. So, can cloud seeding …
