There are plenty of "strange-looking" clouds that are nevertheless natural. Look and you can find them. "Scalar waves" are mythical. Ever seen a Mackerel sky?
Patents are only so certifications of Bright Ideas. There are a lot of them, but where is the implementation? The best they can do is cloud seeding for the stimulation of rain in a fairly stable environment. Attempts to tinker with hurricanes have fallen flat, because hurricanes are subject to far more powerful influences than human beings can impose. So, your logic (lots of patents => they are doing it) is a hole looking for some cheese to put around it.
Hurricane Hunters. That's what they do, for every hurricane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_hunters
Don't worry. Wiggington will be outed as the fraud that he is.
Ripples in clouds are natural phenomena, called "gravity waves" (not anything to do with astrophysics, but result from buoyancy effects of the atmosphere in Earth's gravity field). They are common in altocumulus or cirrocumulus clouds. A whole discussion of the subject is available at https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/147380/the-undulations-of-wave-clouds You can look up images for "ripples in clouds" and see them in profusion. Microwaves have nothing to do with this phenomenon.
If microwaves are absorbed on a frequency basis, that would show up according to their wavelength, which is between 30 centimeters and 0.1 millimeter. They would not be discernible by eye or on map display scales. I have never heard of microwaves causing sparks in water vapor. Can you provide a reference to establish that this is an actual phenomenon?
I assume you are referring to "chemtrails" when you mention "chemclouds," which means you are really referring to contrails. They are in the turbulent wake trails of aircraft, which are characteristically "lumpy" (for lack of a better word). I have observed contrails commonly all my long life and have never seen them as having what I would call "ripples."
Unfortunately, Col. Macgregor has let his open-mindedness admit bats into his belfry. The most economical description of what Wiggington has claimed is that none of it is scientifically valid, or substantiated by anything other than ignorant speculation. One of the tipoffs of a snake-oil pitch is the assumption of a proven argument ("irrefutable", "unmistakable", etc.), which is the hallmark of the spurious climate change community. Wiggington admits no argument or doubt.
Other tipoffs are reference to the HAARP system, which is a microwave antenna pointed at the sky---in Alaska. The bottom of the ionosphere is about at 230,000 feet altitude, where the air pressure is about 0.001 psi ( air pressure at sea level is 14.696 psi). This is about 68 MILLIONTHS of an atmosphere. Roughly the amount of pressure that the blink of an eye could produce. And he is claiming that HAARP can make pressure changes? In that? Something that is practically vacuum? No scientist would sign up for that claim.
Another tipoff was reference to "chemtrails," which only illustrates Wiggington's complete ignorance about contrail formation. And a complete lack of any empirical evidence for his claims. (Yeah, there are patents galore, but I can certify from personal experience that a patent is only a documentation of a bright idea. It is by no means evidence that anything has been built or put in action.)
His discussion of the NEXRAD radars was stunningly obtuse. He made a big deal over how the NEXRAD emissions were "surrounding" the storm. Obviously. This is what happens when you superimpose a more vivid image display OVER the NEXRAD emissions that were occurring within the boundary of the storm. NEXRAD is only a surveillance radar system. Radio waves. Photons, in other words. Of very low energy apiece. I have studied the interaction of radar with aerosols by way of inventing "active chaff." No physical effects other than photon impingement. If you think photon impingement can do anything, go stand near a lit lightbulb and feel how much you are being pushed by it. Zilch. His claim that particles can be pushed around by radar is complete nonsense. But he doesn't bother to give any evidence that such particles were present, or that they are known to be responsive to radar by "pushing."
It just goes on and on. He shields himself from the fact that actual scientists would disagree with his claims by pre-emptively declaring them all to be liars.
He claims we are in danger from contamination. That should be an easy claim to substantiate. Has he written a book? I recall "Silent Spring" from Rachel Carson and the wave it made. Regrettably, it was later discovered to be bunk, because the crucial egg fragility studies were made against birds that were fed a diet deficient in calcium and phosphorus. All these odd metals...where do they come from? The fact that we receive about 50 tons/day of meteoric matter drifting down from space does not figure in his thinking.
Here is my assessment of Wiggington: Either (1) he is a certifiable paranoid psychotic with a messianic complex, or (2) he is running a very well funded propaganda effort. The more I ponder him, the more I incline to option (2). Anyone with a sincere investment in the topic would always be looking for information and insight, and would come across the scientific facts that would dispel these ideas. It would cause him to be more selective in the claims he would promote, simply out of consideration for the expense of his operations and the bad effects of credibility backlash. But, no, he is going full bore---clearly seeking to capitalize on Macgregor's audience access. Which would be not only consistent with option (2) but a very likely objective from the outset.
So, anons, you have to choose: Whether to give in to your juices and ride this horse, or to pull back and realize that Wiggington is a fraud. And frauds never mean well.
Don't put much stock in the "odds". What are the odds that a hurricane would make landfall in Puget Sound, Washington? It happened once in 1962 and another time in 1993. So, maybe every 31 years. By that logic, we are due about now...but I am not shaking in my boots. Just because something seems to happen for a first time, or in a long time, does not mean that it is in any way abnormal. (We've also had the occasional tornado, but that was about 60 years ago.) More especially, something with "low odds" is NOT impossible. Not unless the "odds" are exactly zero.
You might be able to wrap a chain or cable around a tail boom and drag a copter off the runway with a pickup truck. Might need a posse of Good Old Boys for backup. It would surely rise the pilots out of their langour.
And the Sheriff should be arresting them and incarcerating them for trespass and interference in life-critical rescue operations.
You have my complete sympathy. I suppose I will linger in order to assess the match-up between what happens after Trump gets in office, with the attitudes and expectations here.
I also look at it as something of an intellectual challenge to see how efficiently I can function as a critic and an explainer. Sometimes, I come up with a Bright Idea, but that gets lost in the wave action. Very difficult to work with the types who like to dish it out but can't take it. It seems I've gotten banned for complaints of "bad manners" by people who end by cursing me out. I suppose I am at risk by even mentioning such "types." And yet, the spectrum you have identified seems to prevail.
I will close with a joke--- Airhead Girl: "I enjoy classical music, especially when it celebrates pastries." Girlfriend: "What? I mean, what are you talking about?" Airhead Girl: "Well, you know. Like Claude Debussy's 'Eclair de Lune'."
What incredible crap. If anything can provoke righteous armed resistance and rebellion, this may be it. It is without a doubt that people are dying while this interference is going on. I am a peaceable man, but if I were confronted with this, I fear to say what I might do.
Hoarding of crucial supplies by profiteers is a classic crime. It is an old story in Zambia, even to this day. My wife needed some medicine to help her recover from amoebic dysentery, and they had to send for it from Germany, because they couldn't depend on access to domestic supplies.
And when they are chastised for being "dumb" (I would say ignorant and clueless), there are severe penalties if egos are bruised. I think this is a symptom of a general syndrome in social media: anyone who takes the effort, however trivial or passive, to follow a topic will consider themselves an expert on the topic and will expound accordingly, having no capability to identify actual experts, whom they abuse as being stuffy or "not awake yet." Deviation from the social consensus is the litmus test of credibility (ironic when compared to the Covid-19 fiasco). Am I wrong? The admins are in the middle of this, and you can notice a certain variability in what nonsense is tolerated for discussion. They don't say much about their workload, other than that it is burdensome. But if you consider that every day may bring hundreds of posts under their eyes, it would not be surprising if the fine line between fair speculation and wild stuff becomes blurred.
Someone once proposed that all the loony theories are actually psy-ops from outside, intended to undermine the credibility of the community. I think that theory has a lot of explanatory value, and it sure works. As the years have passed, I have become less inclined to recommend this page to newcomers, on account of this aspect.
Anons, read the comments. This is from 2021, 3 years ago. They are Asperitas Clouds, which are naturally occurring. You will find a profusion of images if you do a search on them.
Nothing to do with HAARP.
This is the kind of thinking (coincidence) that gives rise to witchcraft theories. Just because event B happened after event A does not mean A caused B. My alarm clock went off--then Mount St. Helens blew up. So...my alarm clock caused Mount St. Helens to blow up? (I guess I better not set that alarm clock ever again.)
It is routine for NOAA to send surveillance airplanes (WP-3Ds) into hurricanes to obtain meteorologic data. Called Hurricane Hunters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_hunters It would be strange if it were not there.
Or: If a FEMA agent goes off into the woods and no one is there...are they really missing? "Where's Agent X? Is he missing?" "Nah, he just went into the woods."
The mind is enticed to fantasize. Scoop up a FEMA agent, hog-tie him, and hoist him off by helicopter. "Well, pal, we're a-gonna drop you off here in the middle of nowhere and you have exactly the same chance of being found as any hurricane victim. Enjoy the experience."
Alas, you are so correct. But the necessary precursor would be to establish that ONLY citizens who can demonstrate that they understand the Constitution should be allowed to vote. That is the tough, uphill battle. And there is little accountability possible, just the inevitable indiscriminate punishment of consequences from bad choices. This is why conservative neglect of influence on public schools needs to be rectified.
A theory would have evidence. This is a gratuitous conjecture; it explains nothing. One could as well say that Pink's is a front for a grey alien invasion.
Often spelling is altered so the name can be copyrighted or trademarked. That cannot be done with words that are already in the common language. And, frankly, the name would be unintelligible if the reader did not understand the original spelling, "crispy cream."
Elsewhere (TikTok snippets) I get hints of a growing, popular civil disobedience in force. Locals, in particular, are no longer inclined to be bossed around when loved ones and neighbors are at stake. Sparks might fly.
The obvious deduction is that---on the principle of never letting a catastrophe go to waste---the administration is deliberately allowing an expected Trump stronghold to be decimated in the aftermath of Helene. They must figure the lost Trump votes will count more than the PR black eye. Since they are so completely PR-blind and tone-deaf, it seems credible that they would think so. They have reached the Marie Antoinette stage of arrogant disdain: "They have no bread? Let them eat cake."
I don't think people here are aware of how particular and restrictive the crime of treason is. Treason is the only crime defined in the U.S. Constitution. According to Article III, Section 3:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
It's terminology. You recover bodies. You rescue persons.
I guess I'm puzzled, then. It seems like the PR smear campaign is to harm RFKjr. I can credit sensing that and I agree with it, but wouldn't that be consistent with giving RFKjr the benefit of the doubt? I don't see the conflict. Am I missing something---or have I misunderstood your point?
Makes me think of "Atlas Shrugged."
Christians are supposed to always consider the actions of others in the most charitable light. This leads to the presumption of innocence in any legal accusation. No one is asking you to "buy" what you should be willing to give at the outset.
This is unexpected and reprehensible. But, unfortunately, not surprising. Yet another reason for one's blood to boil. This entails manslaughter through negligence. They are allowing people to die in order to profit from it.
I don't understand how these drops are relevant, or even reliable. They are 7 years old and refer to events that were "over the next several days." I don't recall any such events, or levels of crisis. Were they posted by Q?
