Lesson learned?

Galchi, Nepal
A mark shows the mud level on a wall in a classroom at Bageshwori secondary school after flash floods in Galchi. The Himalayas – spanning Nepal, India, China, Bhutan and Pakistan – are warming twice as fast as the global average, putting the region at increased risk of avalanches, landslides and floods.

Aftermath

Devighat, Nepal
Rescue workers inspect damaged structures after the recent flash flooding along the Trishuli River in Devighat. The disaster was triggered by a glacier collapse that sent a deluge of ice, rock and mud through Nepal’s border region with China.

Declassified CIA files reveal secret #WeatherManipulation projects to 'control world'

Previously top-secret CIA files allege that the US plans to control the world by manipulating the weather.

by Olivia Beeson, June 10, 2026

"The documents surrounding weather modification were declassified in 2003, and discuss the tactic of launching rockets or planes to release chemicals into the atmosphere that alter the climate and storm systems.

"These documents resurfaced from 1965, and highlighted how this tactic could be use as a weapon of war in the future.

" 'However, it did not specify what chemicals were used in the experiments.

"The documents stated that federal funding for weather modification was due to be four times higher in 1967 - the year the US began spraying #toxins over #Vietnam to cause #floods and #landslides."
