Forecaster leaves job to pursue weather theories (Tinfoil hat time!)

POCATELLO - To the rest of the country, Scott Stevens is the Idaho weatherman who blames the Japanese Mafia for Hurricane Katrina. To folks in Pocatello, he's the face of the weather at KPVI News Channel 6.

The Pocatello native made his final Channel 6 forecast Thursday night, leaving a job he's held for nine years in order to pursue his weather theories on a full-time basis.

"I'm going to miss that broadcast, but I'm not going to miss not getting home until 11 p.m.," Stevens said. "I just don't have the hours of the day to take care of my research and getting those (broadcasts) out and devoting the necessary research to the station."

It was Stevens' decision to leave the TV station, said KPVI general manager Bill Fouch.

"When Scott signed his current contract, he told Brenda and me at the time that it would be his last contract," Fouch said Thursday. "We knew, but the timetable moved up because of all the attention (he's been getting.)"

Since Katrina, Stevens has been in newspapers across the country where he was quoted in an Associated Press story as saying the Yakuza Mafia used a Russian-made electromagnetic generator to cause Hurricane Katrina in a bid to avenge the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima. He was a guest on Coast to Coast, a late night radio show that conducts call-in discussions on everything from bizarre weather patterns to alien abductions. On Wednesday, Stevens was interviewed by Fox News firebrand Bill O'Reilly.

Yeah, watch out for them scalar gravatonic anihilators.

OK. Do they have any evidence to support their theory or is it just speculation on a dubious motive? There have been lots of experiments about the weather all with little effect (cloud seeding, e.g.) I'd love to have a weather weapon. I can think of a few place that need debilitating typhoons (Iran & North Korea come to mind)


I'll entertain the idea if they can demonstrate that such technology exists and that the Japanese mob is using it. Otherwise, I'm sticking with the tried and true nuke 'em 'til they glow approach.

All your weather are belong to us.

[SamAdams76]

So if Japan has the ability to direct hurricanes at the US, wouldn't it be logical that they could use that technology to direct a hurricane away from themselves??? Yet, it seems they get hit pretty regularly......

They do, but if they did that, more of us might get suspicious. So they send a few their way to keep us off their trail. Notice how THEIR hurricanes (typhoons) never seem to hit important cities like Tokyo though.

How convenient! They can fool most of the people but they can't fool me.

[Alouette]

Didn't they make a movie about this once?

Storm Trackers

This movie sucked.

No, it blew.

And the usual nutcases looking for ratings exploit him!

Coast to Coast, O'Reilly etc.

Plausible deniability ; )

[ActionNewsBill]

Her t.v. stations must come out of Pocatello.

I don't think so.

However, Stevens never discussed his weather theories on the air during his time at Channel 6 - an agreement he had with the station management. What the meteorologist chose to do in his off time was his business, said his manager of eight years.

[RGSpincich]

Everybody knows that the evil Mikkos Cassadine controls the weather.

[zlala]

Actually my statement is true, they do get news out of Pocatello. My premise is what was flawed. He's taken his message via print news & Internet.

[spetznaz]

Just before the Katrina thing there was this freeper (name withheld) who was asserting that it is possible for 'hurricane generators' to be placed, or focussed, on the West coast of Africa and used for hurricane genesis. And once a storm (that would grow into a hurricane) was formed, other machines would control the tempest and vector it towards the US.

And when i asked how the energy for the generators would be created, since hurricanes are basically insanely powerful (one way of measuring hurricane strength, which looks at the total amount of energy released by the condensation of water droplets, gives the energy therein as 200 times the world-wide electrical generating capacity; while the second method, which measures amount of kinetic energy generated to maintain the strong swirling winds, has it at about half the world-wide electrical generating capacity). Thus I was curious as to where the energy for such an endeavor as controlling the maelstrom would arise from. Answer: Satellites orbitting the earth, tapping on solar winds, as well as the magnetosphere of the earth.

Thus I am not surprised that some weatherguy is saying that the Yakuza is using Ruskie tech to get back at Uncle Sam for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At least there is no talk of magnetosphere tapping satellites!

Oh, and don't get me started on the kooks who see funny shapes in the swirling bands of a hurricane.

My father lived in the Lake Konstanz area post WWII, and has recounted to me that the swiss used to shoot some sort of small explosives into the clouds to move weather patterns that effected their barometric pressure. He has no idea what they used, but it was commonly done. This may have had something to do with the Alpine Foehn...not sure what it would be called here.

Coast to Coast has hit rock-bottom. Between this guy and the ------- Alex Jones who went on the air last night with Noory and said that FEMA made the National Guard turn away people looking for food and water on the first day. Then Noory asked Jones about a "news" item that said Barbara Olsen who was killed on 9/11, was actually arrested in Europe with millions of dollars in foreign cash. Both moonbats agreed that the person who reported this, should be 'chastised if this is false." I think both of these guys are so mentally ill;, they should be in a dark, cool room with lots of restraints.

In regards to the recent bill that you highlighted in the now closed thread, which I have seen, does not prove that this hurricane was 'created by the Russians that was used to wreak havoc on the US economy' as Stevens has pointed out. It does show that, at most, we are looking into ways to 'manipulate weather' like lesson or even reduce a storm, i.e. a hurricane, so that it wouldn't be as destructive as Katrina is. Doesn't mean, like Steven contends, we, or the 'Russians' have the technology to do this yet.

I have seen reports that the US government did try efforts to reduce the power of hurricanes in the past with little success (like seeding them for example).

And him being a meteorologist doesn't hold muster with me either. My local radio talk show host is also a meteorologist and he doesn't believe in this crud. Just because he has the title, doesn't mean he is anymore believable then the next guy. Except to people like Richard C. Hoagland (the guy who talks about faces on Mars, and Hyperdimensional physics creating these 'artificial' hurricanes, who's credentials include to work for NASA and was a science adviser to Walter Cronkite) who eat this stuff up as if they are fact. After all, Coast to Coast isn't exactly a 'reputable' news source to run to.

That being said, believe it or not, I'm a very open minded. Even my favorite punching bag, Richard C. Hoagland, I do sometimes wonder if he is right in some cases (like the idea that NASA 'destroyed' fossilized sea creature in one of the Mars rover pictures. For one thing, to my untrained eye, the pictures he points out, it does look like a fossil. Too late now that NASA destroyed it}. However, that being said, being open minded is not the same as believing everything he, or Stevens says. And right now, his theories are just, WAY out there.

[Simmy2.5]

BTW, the reason why I'm bringing up Richard C. Hoagland, well, obviously he believes in Steven's theory. Not only that...he has proof. PROOF that these hurricanes are articifial! Want the proof? Right here!

Remember to put on your tinfoil!

[skinkinthegrass]

I suspect, Nikola Tesla's, "The Magnifying Transmitter" had a hand in this...Tinfoil hat/cap firmly on head, while wearing fibreglass suit/dry rubber boots :)

Why is it that so many of the interesting but batty "experts" that get interviewed on Coast To Coast (like Hoagland) end up pushing an anti-Bush agenda? This is particularly noticeable when George Noory is the host. I don't think Art Bell is like George Noory on the politics, but I haven't listened enough to be sure about this distinction.

Sometimes the guests hide their anti-Bush agenda and then let it rip at the end of the interview, and sometimes they keep it subtle.

Where did all the right-wing kooks go? So many of the consipracy theorist today are left-wing kooks. I mean, the expert could be some new age person talking about quartz, and she will get around to harshly criticizing something Bush did or is doing.

Maybe the right-wing kooks will come out when the left is back in charge of the government.
