(0505) Apocalyptic looking morn out there and a fairly abstruse looking long tweet to open with. Morning all, have a productive day. (0545)

 

Joseph L. Trahan for Senate District 15 writes

I’m NOT saying CLOUD SEEDING caused hill country flooding. I’m clearly and quite rightly pointing out that a 31 person committee of Abbott donors ONLY… with NO expertise in weather, meteorology, earth physics, or anything at all to do with rainfall, rivers and reservoirs… UNDER the SOLE Supervision of DADE PHELAN Has let SOMEONE order and PAY FOR MASSIVE CLOUD SEEDING ongoing for years.

MORE cloud seeding in the last year than many years combined. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? WHO IS PAYING FOR ALL THIS CLOUD SEEDING AND WHY? Cloud Seeding…we’ve used it in time of drought in agriculture and ranching to help get a little moisture on the ground to prevent crop and herd die off from lack of water. It is an evolving science with more than 80 years of solid agricultural practice.

Why the Texas Legislature removed that oversight from the Texas Agriculture Commission with an oversight board of ranchers, farmers, reservoir analysts, meteorologists and NOAA input was a strange move in 1989.

NEVER in the history of the world have we seen SO MUCH cloud seeding that the last 18 months. The flight logs of cloud seeding in the last year are astronomical. It defies logic and those that could explain aren’t talking.

DID IT HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE HILL COUNTRY FLOODING? We can’t say for certain, but, that much cloud seeding non-stop daily over such a large expanse for weeks on end could NOT have been helpful. THAT is something we can agree upon. We have a flight logs -of 3 cloud seeding companies -that seeded vast swatches of cumulous cloud layer -spanning multiple counties on the west side of the Hill Country -for 11 and 14 days -EACH and EVERY day.

Rainmaker stopped its cloud seeding there on July 2nd, confirmed by flight logs West Texas Weather Modification LLC (subsidiary of Weather Modification LLC) and SOAR (Seeding Operations and Atmospheric Research) had hundreds of flights over the western range of the Texas Hill Country seeding daily all through the flash flood deluge. We know from flight logs every grid they flew, pilot, plane and manifest was silver oxide cloud seeding for more than two weeks.

What we don’t know is: WHO paid them to seed these clouds? WHY does TDLR (Texas Dept of Licensing & Registration) NOT have a committee NOR a single person of the 31 Greg Abbott appointees on TDLR board that has ANY weather, meteorological, ground water, flood water, reservoir, lake, river or even civil engineering experience whatsoever?

TDLR is the clandestine state agency that oversees cloud seeding. Abbott appoints the 31 members, DADE PHELAN runs that “Department” for Greg Abbott like a perfect robotical errand boy. 31 Abbott donors get to say “they have an appointment from the Governor” and they have sub committees on licensing massage parlors, hair salons, so on… but, not a single damn one of all 31 of them has even a remote notion of rain, weather, crops, reservoirs, rivers, lakes, dams, or meteorology and ZERO relationship with NOAA (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, a NASA related agency).

THAT is something the legislature took away from the Texas Agriculture Commission decades ago in 1989, where it likely rightly belongs. WHO paid those 3 companies to seed daily, everywhere on the entire western range of the hill country? THAT answer will be a good start to find out what the hell is really going on.

JH: Right, I’m putting it to the few thou readers dotted across the west that is is not as abstruse and irrelevant a post to us as it might seem … there are certain commonalities between a district in Texas (?) and where you are right now.

First task, before any other, is elementary homework:

The theme continues now into Monday 2 …..
